Nobody is asking for something like this to be done. What various people have asked for is that _known_ (by developers) security issues be called as such when fixed, instead of using euphemism like "strongly encouraged to upgrade".
what security fix?

Please, PaXTeam, slow down, and read things carefully before replying to them. I said that it is bogus to /prioritise/ fixing the bugs based on this arbitrary "security bug" label. Not that it is bogus to fix the bugs.
If the user wants bug fixes, this announcement makes it perfectly plain that it contains bug fixes. The question being asked is what use it would be to label /some/ of them as specifically "security bugs" and by implication, not the others.

now speaking of prioritization and that 'arbitrary' security label: why is it arbitrary? are you suggesting that non-security bugs are labeled as security ones (false positive issue) or that not all security bugs are labeled as such (false negative issue)? the former has no impact on one's security (just a bit of 'useless' work) and the latter assumes your bogus closed world model. so what is it you wanted to say here again?

"Given bug A and bugs B1-26, I think I should apply a patch for A but not for B1-26. Why is this bogus?" where:
Bug A is the subject of a long rambling Bugtraq post "Linux security is a joke" which claims that there's a serious buffer overflow and that it will "inevitably" be exploited in the wild. Linux writes and commits a two line patch, and nobody makes a working exploit, because unknown to everyone a structure alignment decision by the compiler makes the exploit condition impossible in the real world. Thus Bug A is a "security bug".
Bug B14 is 14th in a list of 26 patches fixing clearly incorrect use of an API for accessing the PCI bus. Only three people even read it, and Linus applied it because it looked similar to the other 25. But in reality it happens to fix a problem where anyone with access to play sound through an HDA compatible sound chip can also read & write arbitrary kernel memory using the right parameters to mremap(). Eventually someone will stumble on this problem and produce a POC, but not today. Thus Bug B14 is "not a security bug".
The answer is that it's bogus because it gives you (or your users) a false sense of security. You've fixed the "security bug" but actually you spent a lot of cycles on something that had no practical impact and left out the most important fix for something serious. Waiting three months for Bug B14 to "become" a security bug makes little sense, the fix is right there now. The easiest path, upgrading to stable, is in fact the best option if you don't have the cycles to do your own due diligence.
If you struggle to buy this argument, imagine that I have the set of all bug fixes, in the form of a hypothetical git branch against 2.6.27. Since my branch has no bugs, it also has no security bugs. Now, to cherry pick from my branch just fixes which you think are "security fixes" will certainly not produce a kernel which has /less/ security bugs than mine, indeed it will probably have more. Do you see?

summary: your problem is, as was explained back in july or so, that you're living in a black&white world (pretty ironic from someone who called the closed world model bogus ;). real life ain't anything like that. in real life people manage risks and often take them - it's not up to you or anyone else to make that call for them.
last but not least: you can't have that hypothetical git branch because that's only possible in a closed world model which according to you is bogus. nor can you have assurance that your supposed fixes don't introduce more problems which is what actually happens in real life at times (witness the frequent reverts). so no, i still don't see what you're trying to say but i'm beginning to feel that i'm up against an armchair security expert turned kernel programmer with no real life experience in either matter and i've seen that where that leads.

Let me suggest one thing to you: Pragmatism.
Posted Nov 9, 2008 21:52 UTC (Sun) by ncm (subscriber, #165) [Link]
A useful remark would be "this fixes a bug in SCTP", which means I can skip it, and be the better off for skipping it if I don't run any programs that use SCTP.
Posted Nov 10, 2008 14:09 UTC (Mon) by tialaramex (subscriber, #21167) [Link]
It would be relatively easy to carve out patches that only touch code in a specific area of the tree (for example, the SCTP implementation). But the recent e1000e bug illustrates beautifully that bugs aren't very good at respecting modularisation of design, since they're not designed but are instead unintentional.
If you do want to try this, as I said, it's fairly possible, Git makes it very practical for you to knock together a script that lists only those patches which touch your subset of the kernel, assuming you have the technical knowledge to understand how the kernel is laid out, and you have a complete list of the components you do or don't use, plus the time to examine architectural changes that might alter that list.
One thing that's going on is that there are many different constituencies who think that the kernel developers ought to make /their/ lives easier by doing just a minute or two's extra work. Since the kernel developers are a very precious resource I suggest that wherever possible you should look for ways to make things better without asking the developers to do more paperwork for you.

huh? are you sure you understood the discussion at all? since when is withholding information *less* work than simply passing along what they already have?

I have a copy of the novel "A Fire Upon the Deep" here but those tired of this increasingly long thread will be glad to know that it was perfectly simple to "withhold" the contents of the novel from this message, I simply didn't choose to manually retype the entire thing into this little text box, saving myself hours of work.
On the other hand, this post will automatically identify me as the poster. To create another account in order to disguise my true identity would be a considerable amount of work just to withhold some information...

Then everybody would want to apply the patch, since either it would provide a benefit (either stability or security) or it would not require any downtime to apply. For that matter, it would be nice to have a make target that wouldn't recopy modules that hadn't changed, and an lsmod flag to show modules which are different on disk from what's loaded.

If there are known security issues, I need to know, because I need to protect my servers and my clients, either by applying the fix, or by creating a seperation between the bug and potential triggers of it. If not, if it's say, timing tweaks to the schedulars to undo a regression, I need to make sure that it applies to me. If the regression hasn't affected my workloads, changes to the schedular could, and I wouldn't want to apply it without some stress testing during a planned upgrade time (we lost *loads* during early 2.6.2x kernels as IO would grind to a halt under certain loads as each of the cores just seemed to be blocking... the problem went away dropping back to the maintained 2.6.16 series, and post 2.6.25 seems okay, but boy did it cost us and did we learn our lesson).
Note that this isn't a complaint, I play about with risky experimental code because I enjoy the new stuff. If I thought they were crap, I wouldn't be using their kernel.
Posted Nov 10, 2008 2:01 UTC (Mon) by qg6te2 (guest, #52587) [Link]
Personally I'd like to know whether a kernel upgrade fixes a "known possible security bug", where the bug can be triggered by a deliberate and remote attack. However, one can also suspect that a reason for the rather obfuscated security warnings by Greg KH et al (i.e. "strongly encouraged to upgrade") is not the definition of a security issue, but the politics of the Linux Foundation. Once a bug has a CVE number, the count of security issues in Linux goes up. Obviously it's very useful for marketing reasons if the number of security issues in Linux is lower than other systems. Hence why add to the count of security bugs (even though they may lack CVEs), through kernel update disclosures ?

Bugs can be categorized as follows:
Known vulnerability, known to be exploitable Known vulnerability, assumed to be exploitable (may not be) Not known to be a security flaw, but it is one Not known to be a security flaw, and it isn't one Known to not be a security flaw
Now obviously we'd like to have patches for all of the first three classes, but we can't include the third because they're unknown. But clearly getting the KNOWN problems solved is better than nothing? And from a risk management perspective, fewer changes is better. Believe me, if I could just upgrade the parts of the kernel which required security fixes, I would. The last year I've had nothing but pain when upgrading my kernel and minimizing the changes makes sense. Thankfully I don't have to maintain a bunch of servers, just my one laptop. I'd hate to deploy a security fix to my enterprise and find that my entire workforce's wifi cards stopped working, making it extremely difficult for them to go back to a working kernel.

I noticed an intermittent grinding sound coming out of my car's steering. Although the mechanic said that it probably wasn't dangerous and they couldn't replicate the problem when I brought the car to service, I insisted the car stays with them. On the second day, they called me and told me they replicated the problem and that they will be replacing the whole steering mechanism. I picked my car up on the third day, so I was willing to be without the car for almost three days to get this fixed, because I didn't want to risk the lives of my kids over it.
I also have a broken air conditioning vent coming out in front of the back seat. I didn't even remember to mention it to the mechanics.
I know you'll now ask "how is this relevant to the kernel". Gee, I don't know...

Thoughts on April?
April was once on my list for a number of reasons, but was eventually crossed off. I found myself reconsidering it tonight, but could really use some feedback on it.
What's your opinion on the name? What kind of image does it send out? Would you use it, or not? Any middle ideas?

I've always liked the name April. It sounds bright, happy, and pretty. I consider it underused as I've only met one person in my life with the name. I think it can work well as a first or middle name.
Mother of three teenagers: (1) Daniel Glen, (2) Timothy Austin, and (3) Rebecca Jane... all middle names honor family... 3rd generation mn Jane. (A second girl would have been Susanna Eve and a third boy, maybe Isaac...)

I know a girl named Riley April, and that combo is beautiful. However, I've never met someone with April as a first name. I do prefer Avril, with the potential nickname Avi or Avri, but neither of these names need nicknames.
April is a great month name worth considering IMO.
Avril is the French variation of April. Both mean second. April is 395, and Avril isn't in the top 1000.~lucy reine~~ celestine eira ~ mary simona ~ elizabeth echo "ellie" ~ eleanor heaven "lena" ~ vivienne ailsa ~~ jasper red ~ evander lachlan 'evan'~ kai sacha ~ ezra link ~ satoshi rowan ~

I have always like April ever since I first heard it while watching Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I remember the first time I met somebody named April. It is one of those names I love and find very very underused! It is a pleasant surprise when I hear on somebody. Avril is nice, but I prefer the more traditional April.

By Brian Dukes Staff writer
Kenneth Jarmon Sr. stands more than 6 feet tall and is built like an NFL linebacker, a physique that may not fit the look of a hospital chaplain.
"People ask me if I played football all the time," said Jarmon. "I tell them I play ball for God's team."
Jarmon knows he'll get that question a lot more as he interacts with patients and their families at Cape Fear Valley Medical Center. He is one of eight students training to become hospital chaplains through a new program in the hospital's Pastoral Care Department.
There is a growing need for additional clergy to serve at Cape Fear Valley Medical Center and Highsmith Rainey Specialty Hospital, said the Rev. Charles B. Terrell, director of Pastoral Care. The hospital has four chaplains on staff with about a dozen chaplain volunteers who serve on a rotating basis.
"We have a small team, given the size of the Cape Fear Valley Medical system, at the hospital that has served wonderfully," said Terrell. "But in realizing the needs of our growing patient numbers and hospital staff numbers, we wanted to grow our department."
Hospital chaplains provide spiritual and emotional support to patients, families and employees. They may spend time visiting patients in their rooms or in the chapel, while working in shifts and on call.
"Chaplains provide a compassionate, caring, listening presence," said Terrell, who is affectionately known as "Chaplain Charlie" at the hospital.
"Through our training, we can talk with people from all walks of life about their health condition, their faith, and how their faith is serving them in their hospitalization," he said. "If they don't observe a faith, we can find a common point in a certain spirituality that helps them."
The students from throughout the region already come from ministerial or religious-education backgrounds. But it takes more than religious knowledge to make a good chaplain. It takes compassion, patience and selflessness, Terrell said.
During the program, which runs through December, the students will split their time between classroom instruction and visiting patients in different patient-care areas of the hospital.
Terrell works with the Rev. Cary Melvin as instructors and mentors to the students. The pair lead the curriculum, accredited through the Mid-Atlantic Region of the Association of Clinical Pastoral Education. The credentials that the clergy will earn are required more often as a standard of employment, not just for hospital chaplain positions, but the chaplaincy profession overall.
"The program will help the students enhance their pastoral careers," Melvin said.
For Vanessa Polk, who works as a chaplain at Sampson Regional Medical Center in Clinton, the classes and patient contact help her sharpen her skills as she helps those in need.
"Being a chaplain requires a lot of attentiveness, patience and compassion - a lot of listening," said Polk, who works in the patient observation area.
"Whether we're helping patients or staff, it's an opportunity to be invited into their space and share with them. We're there to provide support, regardless of a specific faith or denomination."
Jarmon, who already works as a chaplain at the North Carolina State Veterans Home, works in the hospital's Heart Center. He often shares with patients his favorite Bible passage: Luke 10:25-37, which tells the parable of the Good Samaritan.
"We are our brother's keeper," Jarmon said.
While Jarmon and Polk work in two different areas of the hospital, they said they're met with similar requests from the people they serve.
"Sometimes patients just want to talk," said Jarmon. "They just want a smiling, friendly face and an encouraging word or scripture. And sometimes they want a quick prayer before an operation."
Depending on a patient's wishes, chaplains may defer to the patient's regular clergy member to provide services, Terrell said.
Other times, Polk said, conversations can get much more personal with those who are very sick. In those times, she shares different passages from the book of Psalms, which she finds among the most comforting in the Bible.
"There can be a lot of emotions, various things they want to say or share," Polk said. "So, we are learning how to best discern how we're needed in different situations by different people."
That sharing goes both ways, Melvin said. Chaplains, newer ones especially, run the risk of giving too much of themselves, which can lead to physical, mental, and even spiritual, exhaustion. It's a careful balancing act that he and Terrell discuss with their students.
"We have to take care of ourselves, too. The emotional intensity can be very draining," said Melvin. "We want to be that very caring, compassionate presence, but at the same time we can be affected by various situations and events that have tragic outcomes."
A strong grounding in one's own faith is helpful for a chaplain to have, Terrell said.
"Our faith helps restore us. We have to nurture our own spirituality to do what we do," Terrell said.
The program has been in development for two years, and Terrell and Melvin are looking forward to the new chaplains joining them in serving the hospital's emotional and spiritual needs.
"We've got some real all-stars in this program," said Terrell. "Most already serve their community in some capacity. It takes a special person to heed the call of hospital chaplaincy. This isn't something everyone can do."

Sunday Times must eschew agenda of polarization |
Tuesday, 26 May 2009 | |
Secretary General of the Peace Secretariat wrote to the editor of the Sunday Times yesterday, to express his concern at efforts by one of its reporters to distort his words. His letter is carried below. The Editor Sunday Times Hunupitiya Cross Road Colombo 2Dear Sir,
With regard to the question of paramilitaries, I mentioned that this had been reported in certain foreign media outlets, but that there was no mention of this at the meeting of protection organisations, and that it seemed wholly erroneous. There is no need therefore to look into such reports, and I certainly did not say that there were reports of paramilitaries loitering in the camps after gaining access through NGOs. The question of NGOs in connection with paramilitaries never came up, since the whole question of paramilitaries was created by particular foreign reporting. With regard to the screening, that has nothing to do with the reports of removals, since obviously, in the context of so many seeking refuge together, Government has to be careful to ensure that LTTE elements are not mixed in with the civilians who fled the LTTE. That had been stated from the start. I did not talk of certain persons with the connivance of NGO workers being involved in any 'plot', indeed I said specifically that I had no details of whose vehicles had been involved in the alleged incident, but that that together with the crowding had prompted restrictions. I also mentioned that provision was available for workers to operate through vehicles within the camps, and that some - not all - had objected to this and even bicycles. Most NGOs continue to operate actively and helpfully within the parameters laid out. It is a pity that the Times seems determined to go the way of the Mirror in provoking polarisation, when many institutions are actively assisting Government in its efforts with regard to the displaced. Two years ago I was able to ensure a correction in the Mirror which prevented the disjunction between the Peace Secretariat and the SLMM that was sought to be created. More recently I have not had time to ask the Press Council for corrections of the perversity of Mirror, though I have tried to ask your Chairman to look into certain misreporting. His kind responses have not however led to any action, and I assume I cannot really expect anything except pursuit of a particular political agenda. The Times however should try to maintain the generally better reputation it has, in comparison with the Mirror, and I hope you will be able to promote this despite current developments which may prompt further polarisation.Yours sincerely, Prof Rajiva Wijesinha Secretary GeneralSecretariat for Coordinating the Peace Process **** The Sunday Times article referred to in this letter can be found here Courtesy: SCOPP |

Overview of Pediatric Liver Transplant Program
A liver transplant may be the best and only alternative for children and their families who have exhausted other approaches to the treatment of severe pediatric chronic liver disease.
Children's Hospital of Wisconsin's Pediatric Liver Transplant Program provides medical care to pediatric patients before and after transplant. As the largest pediatric liver transplant center in Wisconsin, we follow the most children with liver disease in the state. We have performed more than 100 liver transplants.
Liver transplants offer treatment for many forms of end-stage liver disease. Liver transplants performed at Children's include live donor, in which a healthy person donates a part of his or her liver, deceased donor, and split and reduced liver transplants, which involve use of an organ from a cadaver. Families dealing with the overwhelming nature of a chronic childhood disease need innovative care and strong integrated support.
Our experts are leaders in the field of pediatric liver transplantation and work with children and their families to ensure the best outcomes possible. Our highly skilled multidisciplinary team develops pre- and post-transplant treatment options for our patients.
Our specialists include:
- Pediatric transplant surgeons specialize in liver and kidney transplants and perform the surgery.
- Pediatric hepatologists specialize in the care of children with end-stage liver disease before and after surgery.
- Pediatric anesthesiologists play an important role during transplant surgery. They have a special interest in children and have special training in pediatrics.
- Transplant coordinators are instrumental in the management of care for these children and the education of their families before, during and after surgery.
- Social workers provide individual as well as family counseling and support.
- Pediatric dietitians help keep patients nourished before a transplant and during the recovery phase.
- Pediatric nurse clinicians experienced in caring for liver transplant recipients provide excellent care and help parents understand the daily care of their child, including medication management and overall well-being.
The United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) is the private, nonprofit organization that manages the nation's organ transplant system under contract with the federal government. They provide up-to-date information on transplant trends including the number of children waiting for a liver transplant in the United States.
Why choose us?
We believe patient families have a right to know what level of care we provide. Review our quality and outcomes reports.

Sometimes it feels like there aren't enough hours in the day to conquer our "to-do" lists. Between work, the kids, household duties, squeezing in a workout and the occasional late night out with friends - it's exhausting! All that activity takes a toll on your body and mind which is why it's important to recover and rejuvenate with a good night's sleep.
Sleep is a necessity; it is just as important as food, water, and the air we breathe. Sleep regulates mood, your level of alertness, and is related to learning and memory functions. It also contributes to your overall well-being, heart health, weight and energy level.
More than 40 million Americans suffer from a chronic sleep disorder. When a body is sleep deprived, it can lead to personal injury and serious health concerns, such as:
Adults should get 7-9 hours of sleep each night. This allows adequate time to reach the various phases of sleep, maximizing your body's recovery. However, sleep needs vary based on age, gender, activity level and our environment so it's important to pay attention to how you feel throughout the day and adjust your sleep patterns accordingly. If you are nodding off throughout the day or have trouble concentrating, try increasing the amount of sleep you're get on a regular basis.
To help establish better sleep patterns, try following these tips:

Memorial Day (also called Decoration Day) is the official observance for decorating the graves of American servicemen and woman. It is particularly significant that we also honor those defending our shores today. All too often our thoughts for those that serve are lost as we busy ourselves in the brouhaha at the beginning of the summer season.
Let's reach out to our local serviceman and woman and include them as we gather around with family and friends for this three-day holiday – and food, as with all events, plays a pivotal role.
Through the years I have enjoyed all manner of food on the grill – vegetables, fish, etc. Yet there is a time and place to boast about a fine steak on the grill, for instance a porterhouse, most carnivores' favorite cut. Cuts such as hangar, skirt or flank steak may suggest the ordinary, but are cuts that I particularly enjoy.
Flank steak on the grill has many virtues. The meat takes well to marinating, has a juicy tenderness when properly sliced across the grain and contains little fat. With the ends of a flank steak thinner than at the center, guests have their choice of doneness. It is a relatively economical cut, equally good served hot, warm or at room temperature.
Mango-papaya salsa, with its combination of sweet, tart and spicy, is the perfect accompaniment to grilled meats. The do-ahead preparation of green bean, potato and onion salad carefully balances the main course. For a sweet finish cap fresh berries over buttery pound cake slices with a dollop of mascarpone cream. Enjoy the holiday and keep the flag flying high!
When grilling any steak turn only once, so as not to interrupt the cooking process.
Serves 4 to 6
2 1/2 pound flank steak (London broil)
3 to 4 garlic cloves cut into lengthwise slivers
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons tamari or light soy sauce
1 teaspoon honey
2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1. Trim steak of excess fat. With a sharp paring knife, at a 45 degree angle, make tiny slits in rows on both sides of the steak, about 1 1/2 inches apart. Slide a garlic sliver into each slit on both sides and put the steak in a shallow non-reactive dish such as Pyrex.
2. Whisk lemon juice, soy and honey in a small bowl. Whisk the oil in a slow steady stream until the mixture is emulsified. Pour marinade over the steak, turning the steak to coat well. Refrigerate, covered, for 4 to 6 hours, turning the steak occasionally and baste with the marinade.
3. While steak returns to room temperature build a hot fire until coals are ashen hot or preheat a gas grill. Remove meat from marinade and reserve; pat dry with paper towels and place on oiled rack of preheated grill. Cook the steak, basting occasionally with reserved marinade, 6 to 7 minutes on each side for medium rare or until springy to the touch. Transfer the steak to a platter and let stand about 5 minutes before slicing into thin slices across the grain, and serve.
Yield: 2 cups
1 large ripe, but firm mango
1 large ripe, but firm papaya
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1 small red onion, cut into small dice
1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger root
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon orange juice, fresh or concentrate
2 teaspoons honey
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped cilantro
1. Slice the mango off the center pit then cut the flesh into 1/2-inch dice: put in a bowl. Cut the papaya in half, scoop out the black/gray seeds and discard. Cut the flesh into 1/2-inch pieces and add to the mango. Add the remaining ingredients to the fruit and gently toss to mix thoroughly. Can be prepared up to several days ahead. Refrigerate in a suitable container until ready to serve.
Serves 6
1/2 pound green beans; top, tail and rinse clean
1/2 pound new red potatoes, scrubbed clean
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, divided
1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
1 large garlic clove, finely chopped
2 teaspoons fresh oregano
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1. Cut the green beans in half on the diagonal. Cook in boiling salted water for 5 to 6 minutes, or until al dente. Scoop out beans into a colander and reserve cooking water. Cool beans under a quick rinse of cold water and dry well in paper towel.
2. Cut the potatoes into 3/8-inch slices and add to the beans' cooking water. Return water to a brisk simmer and cook potatoes for 10 to 12 minutes until tender but not falling apart. Drain, transfer to a large bowl and sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice while still warm. Add green beans and sliced onion to the potatoes.
3. In a small mixing bowl whisk together the remaining ingredients; stir to mix and taste for salt and pepper. Add the dressing to the vegetables and carefully, with a large rubber spatula, lift and turn the mixture to coat the ingredients evenly. Can be prepared ahead, covered with plastic wrap and refrigerated. Bring to room temperature before serving.
Silvia Lehrer will demonstrate recipes from her new cookbook, Savoring the Hamptons, on Saturday, May 28, from noon to 2 p.m., at the Loaves and Fishes Cookshop in Bridgehampton.

<Evan_G> i keep my games in an inaccessable crate where i can't play them
I ordered one of these a few days ago. Anyone have some good suggestions as to what games I should load? Anything you guys discovered since you started trying yours?
Just looking for names of the gamesNot roms). S. Famicom games to try? Anything?
Favorite DP quote:
..... I would be damned if I ever fall for a girl who spends 8-10 hours playing games and only talking gaming lingo. That's not a geek nor a nerd, that's just fucking sad. ~ megasdkirby
I certainly wouldn't cry over Jeopardy!, I think I have that cart myself, and it's nothing great. That said, the NES powerpak didn't work on several games, but over the years updates have gotten them to work. If it's a software glitch, I think it will get fixed eventually.
The Paunch Stevenson Show free Internet podcast - www.paunchstevenson.com - DP FEEDBACK
I started playing the decompressed version of Star Ocean last night and it works great. Along with Secret of Mana 2 translated, along with all 3 Fire Emblem translations, Treasure Hunter G translated, Bahamut Lagoon, and Rendering Ranger.
Those are some good games to play that you would normally not get to play here in the US.
Terranigma is another one that is great that wasn't released in the USA.
yeah but terranigma you need a system that can play PAL games though even with this thing.
I have a 50/60hz modded system so I can play it but only when i change to 50 HZ mode
Not if you use this patch:
<Evan_G> i keep my games in an inaccessable crate where i can't play them
OK, so what you are saying then is that it is a bad dump.
While Jeopardy isn't a terribly exiciting game I am more interested in whether there was a bug in the SNES PowerPak or not. If it was a bug then it should be reported as it might affect other games. Since it seems to be a bad dump, it's not a big deal.
Though I'll have to keep an eye out at flea markets for Jeopardy now and see if I can redump it.
i just bought this snes powerpak too the 20th november. always in processing. Cant wait to play star ocean and seiken 3 (secret of mana 2)
so all games in pal format (E) dont work on a US/Canada snes powerpak ?

Yup, still a browncoat.
It isn't so much that the PAL games won't work, it is just that they will play about 20% faster than they should, and there is a strong possibility that there will be graphical glitches. Some games also have copy protection that might prevent them from working with the NTSC lockout chip.
<Evan_G> i keep my games in an inaccessable crate where i can't play them
That doesn't seem to make much sense to me, in Jeopardy!'s case, as the game boots up and runs?Perhaps it requires a certain version of the lockout chip.
Wouldn't it just check for the lockout chip once, at boot time, and then
refuse to run at all? Rather than just run, but with graphical problems.
I think I understand now; you must be referring to memory bank mirroring or something along those lines. I speculated earlier that the Jeopardy! game used a different method of reading and writing to the memory here:Because padding the ROM is essentially the same as mirroring.
However, what I still would like to understand, is how you know that this game does in fact use mirroring, and why it does it. In other words, what advantages do it give to an SNES game developer?I assume, but have no way of confirming, that the Hi-Res mode trick, changes the way the memory addressing / speed of accessing the RAM is achieved.
I'm not attacking your knowledge at all, I am just a person that has always been interested in low level hardware / software tricks. I guess it is because I come from a Computer science background, and have always been interested in electronics and programing since a very young age.

One thing I never understood about RetroZone is their lack of a message board, where users can share these issues, and they or perhaps the programmers can find solutions.

<Evan_G> i keep my games in an inaccessable crate where i can't play them
The NESDev forum seems to be their unofficial forum where such discussion and interaction takes place.
So I've found some games that I think have incompatibility issues.
Can anyone confirm that these won't work (they don't work on my Powerpak):
1.Jeoparady! (Doesn't work me either. But I have the cartridge.)
2.Family Feud (Made by the same makers of Jeoparady, so I'll have to get the cartridge.)
3.WWF Raw
4. Sanrio World Smash Ball
I've found some more that do not work, but I do not remember what they were.

Jeoparady freezes right after the "GameTek Presents" screen. The others won't load at all. I hit Start Game on the Powerpak and it just goes to a black screen. I've used multiple roms too, so I don't think an unclean rom is the problem.

WHAT IS ULTRASOUND? Sound is a pressure wave that causes the air around it to vibrate. The rate at which these fluctuations occur determines a sound wave's frequency. The human ear can interpret an impressively broad range of sound frequencies -- everything from a whisper to the roar of a jet engine -- but ultrasound uses such high frequencies (between 1 and 5 megahertz) that the fluctuations in the pressure wave are too fast for us to detect.
ABOUT BREAST CANCER: Breast cancer is a type of cancer in which cells in the breast become abnormal and grow and divide uncontrollably, eventually forming a mass called a tumor. Some tumors are benign, meaning that they do not invade other types of tissue, although if they become big enough, they can interfere with some bodily functions, such as the flow of blood or urine. Malignant tumors have cells that can invade nearby tissues. When a cancer "metastasizes," cells from the original tumor break off and travel to other parts of the body via the blood or lymph systems. More than 75 percent of breast cancers begin in the milk ducts within the breast. The next most common site is in the glandular tissue that makes the milk.

WHAT'S THE FORECAST: Weather forecasting is the application of science and technology to predict the state of the atmosphere for a future time and a given location. Humankind has attempted to predict the weather since ancient times. For millennia people have tried to forecast the weather. In 650 BC, the Babylonians predicted the weather from cloud patterns. In about 340 BC, Aristotle described weather patterns in Meteorologica. Chinese weather prediction lore extends at least as far back as 300 BC. Ancient weather forecasting methods usually relied observed patterns of events. For example, it might be observed that if the sunset was particularly red, the following day often brought fair weather. This experience accumulated over the generations to produce weather lore. Today, weather forecasts are made by collecting data about the current state of the atmosphere and using computer models of the atmospheric processes to project how the atmosphere will evolve.
HOW STORMS DEVELOP: Storm clouds form as moisture evaporates from the earth into the atmosphere, where the droplets congregate and jostle against each other. The air cools off rapidly with altitude and the water vapor condenses into liquid drops, forming clouds. The process continues: more and more water vapor turns into liquid, and the moist air warms up even more and rises higher and higher. The severity of a storm will depend largely on the buoyancy of the rising air within the storm and the structure of the wind within the atmosphere.
WHAT IS DOPPLER RADAR: Doppler radar uses a well-known effect of light called the Doppler shift. Just as a train whistle will sound higher as it approaches a platform and then become lower in pitch as it moves away, light emitted by a moving object is perceived to increase in frequency (a blue shift) if it is moving toward the observer; if the object is moving away from us, it will be shifted toward the red end of the spectrum. Doppler radar sends out radio waves that bounce off objects in the air, such as raindrops or snow crystals, and then measures how much the frequency changes in returning radio waves to better determine wind direction and speed.

Narrow view anglePros: Easy to move around and to access from internet. Set up was not difficult and the set up program walks you through all the steps in the proper sequence. The cloud service simplifies internet access, without it these cameras are almost impossible to setup. Cons: This camera has a very narrow view angle (38 degrees) so the only reasonable application is for viewing from another room or down a long hallway. Set up in a home office it would only cover the door not the inside wall to wall. The camera has zoom feature and would be ok if this was a HD camera. Even without zoom the picture is poor and with the first (2x) zoom you can see the pixels. You can not move around on the zoom as it closes in on the center of the view so its useless. The ads for the camera are contrived, you could not put this in a child's room because almost all of the time he would be outside the view of the camera. Other Thoughts: It is worth the $XX I paid for it but I'm not sure where to place it so the camera would be of any real value. Manufacturer Response: 0 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Pros: Simple install using provided software. Company honors warranty. Decent low light. Manual focus. Unobtrusive design. Most issues will be readily apparent vs. later down the road, making it easier to deal w/. Cons: Not as many settings options as the older models; many options missing on this camera are available on the higher priced POE models, though. Average video clarity (it's standard 640x480). Manual focus; yes I know it's listed as a Pro, but too many people ignore the focus. Some units have great wifi range, others not so much. Probably not worth the $100 MSRP most sites like to sport before giving a "discount", but w/ inflation and even poorer quality competition it's what it is. Other Thoughts: The overall rating for the 551W is based on a $45-$70 price, so keep that in mind. This is not a top of the line camera, and in incapable of providing video clarity to track a dime 50ft away. That being said, for a mid-range camera, it is a good camera. It is more of a monitoring camera vs. picking a face out of a crowd camera. The company does honor the 3yr warranty as long as you're willing to go through the baby steps of tech support. When installed, they don't scream "hey, there's a camera here," but they're noticeable enough that the wife will say that. Did you find this review helpful? |
Not GreatPros: None for this camera, TRENDnet has good products but this isn't one of them. Cons: Over all just a bad camera, ordered two and sent the other one back unopened. Will not stay connected to wireless, bad picture when connected, very short power cable maybe a little over 24". Other Thoughts: I would buy a TRENDnet product again. Manufacturer Response: Did you find this review helpful? |
So-soPros: Reasonably good picture in good room lighting Cons: No Auto White Balance function therefore is not very usable in many applications (unless you want to constantly be fiddling with the manual brightness & contrast controls). I have this camera facing into our family room and when the sun shines into the room (not on the camera, just into the room) the video becomes completely washed out and not viewable. The only way to restore an image is to log into the camera and adjust the video settings. Then, when the sun moves away the video is too dark and again requires manual adjustment. The camera is ok if your room has constant & consistent lighting conditions. Also, when the room is darker, but still very viewable, the camera has annoying thin blue or red lines that appear randomly on the screen. This camera is useless for my application. Manufacturer Response: Did you find this review helpful? |
Not HappyPros: None really. Its a cheap camera what do you really expect? Cons: Audio is useless with lots of noise. Manufacturer Response: Did you find this review helpful? |
IP camPros: fast ship and works fine 98% of the time Cons: sometimes has to be rebooted Did you find this review helpful? |
TrendNet CameraPros: For the money, this is a great little wireless camera. It took me 15 minutes from opening the box, installing the software, to having the camera wirelessly attached to my network - all up and running. It works great. So far, I love it for what I needed it for. I got these on a Daily Special for something like $35 each. I have one looking over my front yard and one looking over my back yard. I also loaded the app on my iPhone and iPad and it works great. I highly recommend these IF you need a basic camera that does NOT do night vision. I will upgrade to a night vision camera in the future. The included software allows you to connect something like 35 or so cameras, so plenty of room to connect. Still figuring out the recording function, but so far, so good. This is my first go with CCTV's, so still learning. Cons: None at this time. Other Thoughts: Great basic, non-night vision camera for the money. Software is pretty easy to setup and use. Did you find this review helpful? |
TRENDnet TV-IP551W 640 x 480 MAX Resolution RJ45 Wireless N Internet CameraPros: Although I have had many Webcams this is my first foray into wireless cameras. Easy to set up, easy to use, cheap. Cons: had a little problem with the audio, no biggie, I just want the video. Other Thoughts: I wish the AC cord was longer, but alas, that's what extension cords are for. Did you find this review helpful? |
Unusable for SecurityPros: None. Cons: Audio does not work, resolution is horrible and this makes the x4 zoom worthless! Do not use this camera for your baby or home security, basically this cam is good for nothing! Other Thoughts: Followed the instructions for the firmware upgrade and got "invalid file". I can't decide if Trendnet is a scam by continuing to sell this product or just misinformed about what features should be standard. Should be priced at $20-$25.00. Manufacturer Response: Did you find this review helpful? |
Easy setupPros: This camera has to be the easiest I've ever setup of cheap network cameras. Picture quality in good light is very good. Cons: The camera is very poor at high or low light situations. Without good light, it's unviewable. The web enabled cloud viewing requires too much extra software (I hate java and Active X is buggy) plus is confusing in that you don't get a motion view on the main page, and nothing shows you that. You have to figure it out. It's simplicity is it's downfall in this case. Other Thoughts: Good camera. Not great. I guess it's perfect for the price point (if bought on sale...)

Just moved back last September with three older kids after 10 years in NJ. Love both countries however Ireland is so laid back and relaxed in comparison. Love living closet the sea, lots of people out jogging, walking and out town is buzzing. Kids have much more time off school which they love, College is free and sports clubs are so inexpensive compared to NJ. We were paying 2000 a year for our 11 year old to play with NJ Rangers. Our local club here with turf , floodlit pitches and clubhouse is 130 euro a year. Groceries are such good value in comparison to shop rite and acme but eating out very expensive unless you go for an earlybird or use a group on. HS better in NJ and generally the US are much more organized. our son went on a trip to Europe and we got minimal information home. We didn't gave to sign any paperwork or insurance forms , just pay the money and turn up at the airport. So different from the US and takes a bit of getting used to. Kids walk and bus it everywhere, cars at 17 unheard if. Little ones ride their scooters and walk to school in the mornings too. Overall we miss the warm weather in NJ, the reliable communications and great organization with schools, sports clubs and and day trips to NYC. We love Ireland for the scenery, Proximity to European cities, great restaurants that stay open after 10pm, relaxed way of life. We don't like the rain, lack of snow, high of gas and cars and social welfare system. Every place has its pro and cons. We all have US citizenship and ave no doubt our kids will return to the land of opportunity but for the moment we are enjoying the beautiful Emerald Isle.

esatdigiwank no such thing as blow-ins now, ah the begrudgers April, I wish you well. Even with the cutbacks things get tough but there is no place like Ireland, especially in the rural country areas, which is heaven for children. Enjoy. Like every country you get to find out where the bargains are. When I was in NY, it seemed to be trendy to phone out for meals delivered rather than home cooking, and I am not talking pizza del. I seen so many even going out to breakfast of all things. Give me the simple life, my cottage, orchard and veg garden, which so many of us still have over here. Dublin, Cork etc are just like any other cities, Ireland is still covered with green fields, and as April mentions, generations growing up together. Great.

Think she could do with reading a little of David McWilliams' works; if only to discover how powerless being an 'Outsider is in Ireland. To find that you can only ever get so far in the sphere of lets say decision-making at local level, that biased parochial favouritism will thwart your children's ambitions. Or to be more extreme, she can try Frank McCourt's revelatory depiction of life in Limerick (albeit in the 1950s?), insofar as Ire. is reverting to that execrable time again. He did not stick around very long - hotfooted it back to NY. You have to be resident an inordinate length of time before you are no longer considered a blow-in, in many parts..

I live in Washington DC and don't find it to be nearly as costly for dinner/drinks out as she was paying in NY but its a matter of where you go and how upscale or lowscale you go. All depends what you compare with. There is no doubt about it that Aldi and Lidl are a hell of a lot cheaper - i see that everytime I'm home too - I do however see how expensive most things are from cars, to gas, to clothing - you even go to an outlet mall in Ireland (and there arent that many but I was in Kildare the last time i was home - its a far cry from a US outlet - all they've done is recreated Grafton Street in Kildare and called it an outlet - you still pay 5 times for a standard branded top there what you'd pay here in the USA in Filenes of Maxx etc. Clothing in Dunnes and Pennies has come on in quality and is the best value but beyond that hard to find good bargains in ireland (even for kids clothing). Sales are not real sales there either. Having said all that, the more important remark in the article is that its been a happy transition and I totally agree the part about the quality of life for the kids with relations around them. I miss my 4 year old niece and would love to be closer but there is no way id get as good a job or quality of life there as I have in the USA now - for now it will be visits whenever i can get the cheaper flights!

Your conversion of euros to dollars is way off. 150euro for diesel equals $187.50. Today's stock market rate is $1.25 per euro. You multiply euros by 1.25 to get your answer. Friends just returned from Ireland paid up to $1.35 per euro when cashing in their american money. Dining out in Ireland, even at the smallest places,is expensive. Wine, etc. 2-1/2times or more, than US. Good luck.

Good Luck to Ms Drew, but she certainly is in a minority as regards Irish people who return to live there. I have known quite a few, including one poor guy who had not bothered to take out US citizenship. When he got sick of living back in Ireland, and thought of his much better life over here, he tried to come back. Unfortunately, he had been out of the US too long--US Immigration at Shannon took his Green Card and wouldn't let him enter the US. I hope Ms Drew is a US citizen, at least that gives her a choice. As regards cost of living, i would say to compare Ireland with NY is unrealistic. Much better to compare Ireland with PA, or North Carolina, or Texas. In that case you'll find that Ireland is pretty expensive. The only thing I see Ireland consistently less expensive is fruit. We have really lost the plot in the US with fruit prices, I don't know what's going on in California. In Ireland you buy nice fruit for half what you pay here. Pus, there's a great range and quality, plums, avocados, peaches, kiwi, etc that is much better than where I live. Of course there are questions about Ireland's importing apples from Chile or Brazil, kiwis from Kenya, grapes from South Africa etc. Not good for the environment.

I would not want auto rely on on this ladies info I she thinks Ireland is cheaper than the good old USA . I am in Ireland for a month and I don't see things cheaper How about the cost of petrol probably two and one half times more expensive. I think this lady thinks she is buying things in dollars instead of euros. I spoke to a lady in workinG in a Bank who has been here 16 years and can't wait to get back to New York. Ms Drew you should be happy your kids areUS citizens so they will have the opportunity tOgo back to the States legally as. No doubt they will want to.

Good update on your return to Ireland and the family. It is very expensive living here, in the NE. Ireland isn't inexpensive, either, though as you say, you never have to travel too far to get where you want to be in Ireland. You lucky woman,you! I had the Fota Island Wildlife park on my list of places to see, alas, you can only see so much on a 2 week vacation. Sláinte!

Very nice. So many times I see people who moved in one direction or another spend their words bashing the place they left instead of describing the joy of the "new" home. I suspect those people will soon discover they don't like that place so much either. Your article is wondeful.

I noticed a difference in Fox about the time the prince bought into the network and quit watching. Didn´t know why network changed but now it makes sense.
So, watching Fox during the primaries, it was obvious that Romney was getting the lion´s share of the time in what should have been general coverage...unless one of the other primary candidates made a mistake, that is.Saudi Arabia is deciding who the Republican candidate for President should be?Time for Murdoch to straighten out and fly right. Fox is losing viewership. These days, I only watch Greta, and sometimes Hannity and that´s all.
Anybody have a list of American business the prince is invested in besides Citi and Haavaard ?Connect the dots from the prince to Zippy to Sorryos.

Easy Chocolate Peanut Butter Balls
- Posted on
- 47 Comments
My husband isn't big into junk food but one thing he does love are these peanut butter balls. He had them growing up and loves that they are smaller and you can just pop one into your mouth and not feel too guilty! They make a perfect treat for Christmas!
Easy Chocolate Peanut Butter Balls
1 (16 oz) container peanut butter
3/4 cup butter softened
3/4 cup brown sugar
3 3/4 cup powdered sugar
12 oz chocolate chips, melted
Mix the peanut butter, butter, brown sugar and powdered sugar together. Roll into 1 inch balls (not any larger). Stick the dough into the refrigerator until cool. Next dip them into the melted chocolate. Set the chocolate coated ball onto wax paper and cool. Keep in the refrigerator until you are ready to eat them!
My favorite thing is to eat these little balls when they are frozen. If you keep them in a ziploc bag in the freezer then you can pop one in your mouth whenever you just need a little snack!
MMMMmmmm Chocolate Peanut Butter Balls – MY FAV! Thanks for sharing, I can't wait to try this recipe (tonight, maybe?!) !!
Do you use milk chocolate chips for this?
yummy thanks
Love that this recipe uses simple and common ingredients!
They're called Buckeyes!!!
Oh my word! We haven't had these in years! I'm making them for sure this year!! Thanks for bringing back a forgotten treat!
Nearly 5 cups of sugar? How many PB Balls will this recipe yield?
I have been so craving these, made them today, so so so yummy. I have been without a stove top for 2 weeks, waiting on a part. I needed something that avoided my non-working appliance. I think I have gained 10 lbs just knowing they are in the fridge….. LOL
I have a question for you… how do you melt the chocolate. I tried these last year and tried chocolate chips, bakers chocolate, using double boiler and not using one and the chocolate never really melted, it was lumpy. Any suggestions?
Ha Ha! Funny you should ask that! I tried to melt some fancy chocolate chips and they turned into a giant lump! The second time around I used a bag of Nestle Chocolate chips. I put them all in a pan and melted them on the stove. Make sure your stove is turned to low. If it is any higher it will burn. Wait until all the chocolate is melted and them remove it from the stove top. I hope this helps!
Add 2 T butter (or Crisco)to the chocolate chips. Microwave or use a double boiler to melt. If you use white chocolate chips you will need more butter/Crisco.
thanks !!!
I usually use the chocolate wafers( IE Merckens) but you may be heating them up to much. You need to microwave them for maybe 10 seconds at a time, stir them nuke again, stir again till they are starting to melt. One I see probably 50% are melted after stirring, I just stir them until they are all melted. It isn't supposed to get above 91 so it shouldn't be that hot, just enough to melt it. I have used chips occasionally and do it the same way. White chocolate burns much quicker than dark
I have not tried it BUT
I saw it on Pinterest
someone set a jar with the chocolate
into the crockpot ….
the crock pot had water in it and was kind of like a double boiler
that is what I plan to try
good luck
Yummy! I am loving this chocolaty peanut buttery deliciousness! Looks great
You can't go wrong with chocolate and peanut butter, and I love no-bake recipes like these, especially during the holidays. Thank you for sharing!
I've made these before… but the recipe included crispy rice cereal. I thought that was a great addition.

If you love someone with food allergies, you could sub as follows to make them free of the top 8 allergens. Even if they don't eat them (and they probably won't due to cross contamination issues in preparing them), it will make it much safer for them to be around the sticky fingers that do eat them ; ) And you will make one allergy family very grateful for your thoughtfulness. All ingredients should be available at your local Wal-Mart for not much more money than the regular ingreients too.

Use dark or light brown sugar? What type of chocolate…milk or dark?
I used light brown sugar, but either one would work. And I used milk chocolate just because we like it so much better than dark!
We make a similar treat at our house using peanut butter, honeyy, and dry milk then add chocolate chips. It is delicious, especially fozen

I tried these today and the peanut butter just melted into the chocolate then turned into a stiff non meltable mess
Oh no! That is terrible. Did you refrigerate the balls before dipping? We have never had a problem with them. So sorry! -The Six Sisters
I am guessing your chocolate was way too hot, it only needs to be a little above room temp once it's melted ( IE slightly warm to the touch for the last stir) which I don't think would melt the pb mix and then if it was burnt like it sounds like it could have been, it get clumpy and grainy looking. Just about to try these though so I may be eating my words lol!
I did :'( I froze them over night and am about to dip them now. I hope this works out.
These look like yummy peanut butter balls!
I have a question. I tried to roll these into balls after blending all ingredients together and they were too sticky? Does anyone know of why this would happen and what would you recommend adding to make them not so sticky? Please help. Thank you!
When I have made these before, my hands definitely got sticky from the peanut butter. I found that by sprinkling my hands with powdered sugar, it wasn't as bad. But be sure to clean the pb off your hands regularly
So…forming the peanut butter balls…it was a gooey pain in the butt. BUT!!! I am a genuis (haha), took out my trusty little rubber bowl scraper (don't know its real name, sorry guys), scraped the peanut butter out of the bowl and into a zip lock baggie. Cut a corner of the bag…and BAM!! Perfect peanut butter balls within minutes…WITHOUT THE GOOEY MESS!! Now that I have my balls in the freezer…I am going to go change out of my powder sugar covered clothes Great recipe! Try the zipper bags!!!!
If you don't like the mess "which I DO'…try a sifted powder sugar dipped melon baller. These are so
yummy, but the Grandkids tend to end up a mess. So I came up with the melon baller idea ! You're
welcome daughter of mine for the 'not so messy, happy kids'.
Hope this helps at least one person -
I'm trying to make peanut butter chocolate balls that look like chestnuts. I didn't have any bakers chocolate BUT I had regular chocolate chips. I made the peanut butter balls and put them in the freezer for about 2-3 hours. I melted down the chocolate chips and while frozen I put the peanut butter balls in one at a time. I put them all back on a greased cookie sheet BUT when I'm trying to take them off the cookie sheet the chocolate separates from the peanut butter and crumbles. What do I do?
I will be dipping these in white chocolate. Does anything need to be added to the white chocolate?
my peanut butter mixture is too runny to ball up..i think I may have put a little too much butter. think I will use the Ziploc bag trick to form the balls. What if I refrigerate it and THEN make the balls? Any suggestions would be appreciated!! THANKS!!!
My kids and I would like to try this recipe for holiday teacher gifts this year. How many does the recipe yield?
by the way, these were a HUGE hit at thanksgiving!!! Everyone was on the peanut butter ball search! it was hilarious! Kept them hidden in the fridge! thank you for sharing this super easy recipe with us!! Making some more tonight, just because!

The air and the ambience here at the Jinji Lake is so peaceful and tranquil. A really good place to go especially in the early evening. There are also a good combination of restaurants available here to cater to ones hunger !

This place is new and artificial in a city rich in history and culture. But it is a very suitable place for a business man to do a business dinner and drink, for the restaurants and pubs here are all very stylish, gorgeous, and luxurious. Certainly, the price is quite high. I like the draft HB beer in Hoffbrau.
Was in town for a meeting and was having dinner at a Jinji lake restaurant and then! BOOM, and FIRE, it was a quite a show on the lake, Not sure how often it happens but a must see if you are in the area !! Fireworks and fire on the water, it was an awesome show
Nice place nothing special, a few restaurants and an overrated laser and water show on a Friday and Saturday evening. A nice place to walk
I live with a view of this lake and it really is impressive with the way it has been laid out and planned. Every side has bike and walk ways - interesting sculptures (Suzhou is famous for them) and things to do. Small food places, markets, relaxing areas, bike (2 and 3 seaters) and carts for hire, toy stalls and... More
We dared to be at the lakeside in time for the water show. We weren't disappointed. The colors and music and fire and water 'dancing' were fun for kids of all ages.
The lake itself makes for a nice view. Various restaurants around it. Can't remember the names of all the restaurants we ate in, there was a Shanghai Min (a chain) and another one where they served supposedly Suzhou cuisine (including the famous squirrel fish). Good place to visit if you're staying in the industrial park.
Excellent place to spend a few hours before catching dinner. Bike rentals give the occasional traveler an option to look around and exercise. Water festival is nice, but subway gets REALLY crowded at 8:30 PM
Lake looks like something out of Vegas, all entertainment. Laser light shows, fountains and restaurants up and down the shore.
It was nice for a walk with the baby, but despite low pollution index the visibility was poor. All in all, the area is developing really well, and we would come back to explore more.
