PORTLAND — After years of planning and increased ridership, the Amtrak Downeaster will start providing daily passenger train service to Freeport and Brunswick on Nov. 1.

The Northern New England Passenger Rail Authority announced Wednesday that two of the five round trips that run daily from Boston to Portland will be extended north to the Freeport and Brunswick stops. One trip will arrive and depart Brunswick around 7 a.m., the other around 6 p.m.
One-way fares between Brunswick and Boston will cost less than $30 per person. Tickets for travel to Freeport and Brunswick will go on sale Oct. 1.
The extension of the Downeaster service comes several years later than anticipated by rail officials, said Patricia Quinn, director of the authority.
"When we inaugurated the service in 2001, it was supposed to happen in a couple of years," Quinn said. "To make it finally happen is pretty exciting."
The start of service to Freeport and Brunswick was timed, in part, to coincide with holiday travel and shopping demand, connecting riders to L.L. Bean and other attractions.
"It will improve connectivity to midcoast Maine, increase tourism and continue to stimulate economic development in the region," said the authority's board chairman, Martin Eisenstein.
The service expansion follows a $38.3 million upgrade of 36 railroad crossings and 30 miles of track owned primarily by Pan Am Railways. The work took two years and was funded by the American Recovery and Rehabilitation Act.
The expansion "allows for greater transportation options for New England rail passengers and coincides with record ridership demand on both the Downeaster and rail travel throughout the country," Amtrak President and CEO Joe Boardman said in a prepared statement.
Downeaster ridership has more than doubled since 2005, exceeding 528,000 riders in fiscal 2011-12, rail officials said. Ridership in fiscal 2012-13 is up 9 percent over the same period last year, and the service to Freeport and Brunswick is expected to attract more than 30,000 new riders annually.
Towns from Falmouth to Brunswick have addressed anticipated train noise, speed, safety and maintenance issues in recent months.
Several communities are planning or considering additional railroad crossing upgrades that would allow "quiet zones," where train whistles would be blown only in emergencies.
A planned train storage and maintenance facility in Brunswick has raised controversy because it would be near residential neighborhoods.
The Downeaster makes eight stops between Portland and Boston: Old Orchard Beach (spring to fall), Saco and Wells in Maine; Dover, Durham and Exeter, N.H.; and Haverhill and Woburn, Mass.
Beginning Nov. 1, southbound riders will be able to leave Brunswick at 7:05 a.m. daily and arrive in Boston at 10:30 a.m., then catch a northbound train at 5 p.m. on weekdays and return to Brunswick at 8:25 p.m.
Northbound riders will be able to depart Boston at 9:05 a.m. on weekdays, arriving in Brunswick at 12:25 p.m., then catch a 5:50 p.m. southbound train, returning to Boston at 9:15 p.m.
There also will be an early-morning and late-evening trip between Brunswick and Portland, where trains are stored and maintained.
Weekend and holiday schedules will vary slightly. Multi-ride passes, including the College 6-TIX, will be available.
Passengers can make reservations for travel to and from Freeport and Brunswick beginning Oct. 1. (For more information, visit amtrakdowneaster.com.)
The new schedule includes changes to the Portland-to-Boston stretch that will take effect Oct. 15.
On weekdays, the first southbound departure from Portland will be 20 minutes earlier, to help commuters get to work in Boston earlier. The 5:40 p.m. departure from Boston will be changed temporarily to 6:45 p.m., and the last southbound departure from Portland will be one hour earlier, at 6:45 p.m.
On weekends, the northbound 6:45 p.m. departure will be changed to 8 p.m. Seasonal service to Old Orchard Beach will end Oct. 14 and resume next spring.

Women's Soccer Blanks Chatham | 10/1/2013 |
Cresson, PA - The Mount Aloysius women's soccer team recorded their third shutout of the season as they defeated Chatham 3-0 in non-conference action on Tuesday afternoon at home. After a few missed chances early, the Mount's Olivia Woodley made it 1-0 in favor of the home side 19 minutes into the game. Megan Parker (pictured right) recorded the assist after she took the ball from a Chatham defender and found Woodley in front of the net. Twelve minutes later, the Mounties increased the lead to 2-0 courtesy of Ellee Harpster on a feed from Mackenzie Horne. Woodley pushed the lead to 3-0 at the 59:20 mark on another assist from Parker. Parker lofted a pass over the defense and Woodley calmly placed it past the charging Chatham goalkeeper. Zara Apakoh recorded the shutout in net for the Mounties, who outshot the Cougars 10-2 and had a 4-1 advantage in corner kick opportunities. Apakoh registered one save, while Chatham's Liz Sawyer had three saves for the game. Mount Aloysius will be back in action tomorrow with a non-conference contest on the road against Bethany College, which is set to begin at 2 p.m. |

I downloaded the simple email example application for the MSP430FR5279/CC3000 and tried to compile it in CCS. The unzipped code has both IAR and CCS project files.
CCS chokes completely on trying to compile when faced with
if __CCS__
typedef struct (whatever)
these errors lead to cascading errors because these usually happen in .h files.
Obviously I am doing something really wrong. Any hints?
Hi Lisa,
Just to verify what I was doing, I downloaded the msp430fr5739 user experience demo project, built it and launched the debugger - and it worked, right out of the box. I am going to explore the setup and see why this works and nothing else does. Stay tuned...
Curioser and curioser - not only is the user experience demo still working but I got another simple program debugging correctly. However, I still can't get any of my other programs to debug, so I'm not much further ahead having to do this by rote. There seems to be a problem with loading the program into the debugger - what I have seen is that the debugger tells me that the code was loaded but when I hit Free Run the board is still running the previous program. Which makes sense - if I had previously loaded a non-working program in the debugger when I tried to replace that and the program won't load then I am stuck with a non-working program in FRAM.
Is there any way to copy the project settings?
More to follow, I'm sure.
Hi Peter,
at least you have been starting to isolate things. What is different with your projects? You can go File->Export and give exporting some settings a try.
Please keep us informed.
Best Regards,Lisa
It is an interesting, though maddening problem. I think it is the downside of feature expansion where the development environment has gotten complex enough and the hardware small enough that automated setup is absolutely necessary - which hides a good portion of the process. Who would have ever thought that microcontroller development would be like debugging the Windows 3 API?
Debugging an app with CCS v5.2 and I have set several breakpoints which do show up in the left-most column of the source code while debugging and also in the breakpoints view. The breakpoints always show up as [H/W BP] but the debugger never breaks on them. For instance:
//*****************************************************************************////! \brief Handles SMTP Server Errors
//! \param servResp is the server response//!//! \return None.////*****************************************************************************void smtpErrorHandler(char * servResp){ // Currently we don't handle the errors while(1) { __no_operation(); }}
I put the breakpoint at _no_operation and the debugger just cycles past it.
Any thoughts?
You're still missing the semicolon.
I'll bite: where?
A commonly encountered but hard to diagnose error is along the lines
struct tag { .... }
main( ... ) { ... }
This actually declares main as returning type "struct tag". The struct declaration requires a termninating semicolon.
That may not be your problem, but it sort of sounded like it might be.
Hi Douglas,
Good thing to know. Thanks!
All my structs are defined in .lib files and I checked all of them and no joy. Guess I'll have to keep looking.
I don't know how your "structs are defined in .lib files". In C source code, the struct declarations must be visible before they can be used. Often, they are declared in a header (.h) file. All that a header does is in effect insert its contents in-line into the source where it was #included, so it is as though all the relevant code is embedded in the same C source file.
In one of your earliest posts in this thread, you told Lisa:
Sorry about the confusion - I just didn't bother to copy the entire struct. Here's the entire code:
#ifdef __CCS__typedef struct __attribute__ ((__packed__)) _handles_descriptor_t#elif __IAR_SYSTEMS_ICC__#pragma pack(1)typedef struct _handles_descriptor_t#endif{ unsigned char handle; unsigned char block_mode; unsigned short free_bufs;} handles_descriptor_t;
which is terminated by a ;
There are a number of these files that TI supplies for the EXP430FR5739 experimental board. The architecture is that there are a number of TCP/IP related files that are compiled and linked into .lib libraries and then linked into the source. Because the .lib files are first in the hierarchy of the build, following the include files for the processor, they do get linked in before the main() code gets compiled.
I still haven't formed any insight into why my debugger won't run to main(). Grrrrrrrr.
Object libraries don't get linked into the final executable until the final link. All compilation must be completed before the final link, so main gets compiled before libraries get linked in. However, I don't think this is relevant to your issue.
Are you sure the program actually got loaded? If you look at the address of main in the disassembly window, does it look like real assembly code?
What happens if you set a breakpoint in _c_int00 and attempt to load and run?

A great place to stay. Food at conference meetings and restaurants was very good. Very pleased. Shower pressure was a bit weak, though. If you are planning a conference I would highly recommend it.

REVIEW: Ivory 2 in 1 Hair & Body Wash
If you're like me, your shower looks a lot like this:
I am a major bath and body addict, and my showers are filled with at least 4 or five different types of body wash, not to mention face washes, shampoo and conditioners, and my husband's stuff too!
That's why I was very happy to try out Ivory 2 in 1 Hair & Body Wash, thanks to Influenster. Not only does it save shower space, it offers all these benefits:
–Cleans head to toe with dual action formula
–Washes away dirt and odor
–Leaves hair clean and conditioned
–Free of dyes & heavy perfumes
– 50% MORE than other 2-IN-1 brands
–Made in the USA
I first used it as a body wash, and I have to say I was quite impressed with the amount of lather it made–this is very important to be in a body cleanser! It cleaned nicely and washed away easily, leaving a light, clean scent on my skin. As a shampoo, it was just OK for me…I needed my shampoo to bee just a little less heavy. My husband loved Ivory 2 in 1 for both his hair and body though! I can see us having so many uses for this product this summer: beach days, overnight trips, pool time. And we'll only need to pack one bottle for the whole family.
You can find Ivory 2 in 1 Hair & Body Wash at Target, Walmart, and drugstores.
Be sure to check out Ivory's Facebook page.

REVIEW: L'Oreal Paris Magic Skin Beautifier BB Cream
I love trying out the newest products in makeup and beauty, and since I detest putting on makeup every day, BB Cream is right up my alley. I was thrilled to be able to try out the new L'Oreal Paris Magic Skin Beautifier BB Cream, thanks to SheSpeaks!

Here's me before applying (sorry about my face…):
Oh God, do you know how hard it was to put up a pic of myself without makeup? Ugh.
Anyway, you can see I have some uneven patches on my cheek, and some darkness around the eyes.
And here's me after applying the BB cream! I dotted a tiny bit around my face, just putting a little extra around my eyes. My even skin tone is smoothed out, and the darkness around my eyes is significantly lightened! It's not a ton of makeup, just enough to make my face look fresh. I'm in love with this stuff!

PRODUCT REVIEW: Lady Soma Antioxidant Berry Masque
I am definitely a face masque junkie. I was so excited to get to try the Antioxidant Berry Masque made by Lady Soma, a manufacturer of natural beauty products for women.
The Antioxidant Berry Masque is loaded with antioxidant berries and Vitamins A, C, andE. The masque allows for a detox facial treatment using the antioxidant power of blueberries and cranberries, which enhance cellular renewal and collagen production. The glycolic and alpha lipoic acids create a microdermabrasion-like effect that eliminates dead skin cells to reveal a fresh new layer.
The first thing I noticed about this masque was that it smells SOOOO delicious! It is made with REAL blueberry, cranberry, and pomegranate, and it definitely smells like fresh fruit…which makes for a very pleasant experience. The masque is thick and creamy, with little exfoliating seeds throughout.
I loved that I could really feel this product working. When it was on my face, I felt a cooling tingle, which felt nice and rejuvenating. After 8 minutes, I rinsed the masque off, and I could immediately tell that my face felt so much softer. After using this product for 3 weeks, I can tell that my skin is brighter and so smooth.
Lady Soma Antioxidant Berry Masque is a phenomenal product that I would recommend to ladies of any age!

Boogie Wipes Giveaway!
I, like, every mom, cannot stand it when my child has a cold. Wipe a kid's nose enough and eventually he will run screaming from you when you even come near him with a tissue because his nose is red and raw. Happily, I've discovered an awesome product that will put an end to those red, irritated noses!
Boogie Wipes are super soft and made with natural saline to dissolve boogies (mucus) caused by the common cold, allergies or otherwise booger-filled kid moments. You can get them in nice scents such as Fresh or Grape, or even Unscented for more sensitive little noses. Boogie Wipes are alcohol free and made with aloe and vitamin E. They are even pediatrician recommended!
Naturally, these are great for the allergy season we have going on right now in Louisiana–there is pollen everywhere. My 3 year old loves the grape scented wipes, and when he needs to wipe his nose he demands them!
And for grown ups who'd love less nasal irritation, don't worry–you haven't been left out!
Saline Soothers are from the makers of Boogie Wipes but come in scents like Menthol for adults. I have personally used them, and let me tell you that having a scented wipe really helps a lot! Breathing in the vapors is great for congestion. And just like Boogie Wipes, Saline Soothers are hypoallergenic and alcohol free, and are made with aloe and vitamin E.
Would you like a chance to win your own Boogie Wipes and Saline Soothers?

NYC New York Color Liquid Lipshine–Influenster
You can ask anyone I know, and they will confirm that I am a lip gloss addict. At this moment I probably have at least 5 glosses in my purse and who knows how many more in my makeup bag. So needless to say I was pretty thrilled when I got the chance to try NYC Liquid Lipshine through Influenster's VoxBox program.
The shade I got was a really gorgeous neutral called Honey on the Hudson.
The results I got…well, see for yourself.
NYC Liquid Lipshine was everything I could want in a gloss. It stayed put FOREVER, was just the right amount of glossy without being too over the top, and left my lips moisturized even way after I had cleaned it off. It did seem a bit sticky but I may have put too much on.
To top it all off, this fabulous lip gloss retails for only $2.49!! You will pay 3 or 4 times that much for a gloss from some other cosmetic brands…but I'm sold on NYC now! It comes in 10 shades ranging from nudes to fuchsias, so you are sure to find something you will love. You should be able to find it at a store near you, such as Walmart, CVS, Kroger, and many more. Check out New York Color for more information on Liquid Lipshine and other NYC products.

My post today is about two awesome bath and body vendors I've lately received products from! Both of these ladies have their products listed on artisan websites (Artfire and Etsy), which are always great sources for finding unique products that are made with love.
The first shop I want to spotlight is Whipped Up Wonderful, run by the sweet Alexis. Whipped Up Wonderful sells beautifully creative soaps and bath bombs. When you receive one of Alexis' items, it's hard to actually open it and use it because it's so pretty!
See what I mean? Everything in Alexis' shop is that beautiful! I had a coupon from completing a survey for WuW, and I decided to use it to purchase a Pumpkin Pie bath bomb. The turn around time was wonderful, and I had received my item in less than a week. Alexis does a great job of packaging her orders beautifully.
First of all, this thing is huge! It's probably supposed to be used for one bath, but my tub is small so I kinda broke/crumbled it in half so that I could use it twice. It was enough to lightly tint my water and give a good scent! This tart smelled slightly cinnamony/spicy, but there was a smokiness I couldn't put my finger on, that was kind of overwhelming. I did like how the bath bomb made my skin feel soft and smooth! I'd be open to trying another of Whipped Up Wonderful's bath bombs
Another shop whose great items I've gotten to try is Simply Sweet Skin. This Artfire shop is full of all kinds of goodies such as bar soap, sugar scrub, facial masks, and body spray. Check these out:
You are pretty much guaranteed to find something you like in Cat's shop! I was lucky enough to win a set of Coffee Sugar Scrub and Whipped Coffee Body Frosting from a giveaway.
I love that both of these little jars were shrink wrapped. This makes it impossible for the jars to come open in the mail and spill all over the inside of the package! The only thing I didn't love was that when I opened the package and took out the contents, sequins came pouring out. They were very cute sequins, I just wasn't expecting them and they spilled all over the floor. LOL
When I used this scrub, I was happy to find out that a little goes a long way. Yes, there is actual coffee in it. The coffee smell is very strong in this scrub–it'd be great to use in the morning to give yourself a pick me up!
The lotion–sorry, body frosting. I. LOVE. THIS. The scent was not overwhelming, and the formula was thick without being too greasy. My skin felt fabulous for the rest of the night. And just like the scrub, a little goes a long way. I will definitely be hoarding this lotion for a while!
I have been a little stressed lately and I'm finding out more and more that it's important to take a minute to pamper yourself. With the wide variety of yummy bath items available from these two ladies, taking care of yourself is easy and fun!

Bath & Body Works Haul & Giveaway!! (CLOSED)
Way way before I ever knew what tarts were or thought of making a blog, I was a fan of Bath & Body Works. When I was in high school, every girl had a little tube of the antibacterial lotion in their backpack pocket, and every girl had their signature scent. Mine was, and still is, Sweet Pea.
Every year around this time, I make a trip in to Bath & Body Works to check out some of the new Fall scents they have added to the line, and some old favorites. I never go in EXPECTING to buy anything, but somehow I always do!
Even though it was only August, B & BW already had up a large display of Fall antibacterial soaps. At a price of 5 for $15, I decided to stock up. One bottle lasts forever in my house, and the scents are strong and yummy. Since I also found a $10 off of a $30 purchase coupon in my purse, I said, "Hey, might as well buy $30 of stuff for $5 more!". Then the cashier gave me a coupon for a free Signature body item with a $10 purchase, and well…here I am, writing this blog post
Starting with the back row, here are the scents I got:
Pumpkin Caramel Latte: The caramel is strong in this one. Latte is the back note, with the slightest hint of cinnamon pumpkin.
Orchard Leaves: Smells like walking through an apple orchard on a crisp Autumn day.
Marshmallow: Very sweet true marshmallow fragrance. Reminds me of Rice Krispies Treats!
Caramel Apple: Nice balance of both notes, with the apple overtaking the caramel by a little margin. Very sweet and sugary.
Creamy Pumpkin: I bought this one because I wanted a break from the spicy, cinnamon-y pumpkins I melt all the time. The "Creamy" part comes
from this scent being heavy on the vanilla, with a hint of some nutmeg.
I just love the foam Antibacs, they are so fun to use. They also don't leave that little drop of hardened up soap hanging off the end of the spout that always clogs it up! This happens often when you use the other forms of B & BW antibac soap.
In the front row of the picture, you see the freebie body wash I got, Black Raspberry Vanilla. I LOVE this scent in tarts, but for some reason I had never tried it from Bath & Body Works. I'm not sure why! The other body wash is Twilight Woods, which is my second favorite B & BW scent behind Sweet Pea. Both Black Raspberry Vanilla and Twilight Woods somehow remind me of the Holidays. They make me feel all warm and cozy.
I have plenty of tarts, but I could not resist getting these adorable little mini candles just to try out. They were 3 for $5.
These little guys are just 1.6 ounces, about the size of a tart, actually. I got 3 scents:
Stress Relief- Eucalyptus Spearmint: I have been in love with this fragrance for a long time…in body products only, that is. Whatever you do, don't buy the fragrance oil for this scent! It is so strong that it burns your eyes. Hopefully that will not be the case with this tiny candle.
Caramel Apple- Same as the soap above. Very sweet apple scent with a back note of caramel.
Salty Caramel- OMG. I wish yall could smell this. Great balance of salt, buttery caramel, and popcorn. I was so mad that this did not come in a fragrance oil. I also wish they would bring this back as a body scent!! It was formerly in the Temptations line, and it was known as Crazy Caramel Corn.
Finally, I bought 3 home fragrance oils just because. LOL. I'm not really sure why, I just wanted them.
Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin- To me this is your classic scent that you imagine whenever you think of Fall and pumpkins. Very cinnamon-y of course, as the name implies.
Caramel Apple- It will be interesting to see which note comes out on top when I burn this, but I'm pretty sure it will be the apple.
Creamy Pumpkin- Same as the soap above, just a non-cinnamon, more mellow pumpkin.
So, now to the really fun part of this post! When I bought all this stuff, they put a coupon in my bag as they always do. They like to keep you coming back for more!! I am giving away this coupon to a lovely reader. It's actually 2 coupons in one.
The top coupon is to Save 20% on your entire purchase either in store, or online. The bottom coupon is for FREE SHIPPING ONLINE with any purchase of $25 or more! This is a great coupon for those of you who don't have a B & BW near you. They very rarely give free shipping codes for purchases less than $50. I will also give the winner a few extra goodies! Those are a secret though. You have to win to see what they are!
Here's how to enter:
1. Comment on this post with your favorite Bath & Body Works scent. (Mandatory, 1 entry)
2. Follow this blog through Networked Blogs. See the little box to the left there? (1 entry)
3. Follow this blog my email. Also there on the left toolbar. (2 entries)
4. "Like" the brand new Sweet Southern Home Facebook page! You can do this from the box at the left, or by going to Sweet Southern Home. (1 entry)
Please leave a separate comment with your email address for each thing you do above. (One comment with favorite scent, another comment to say you've followed the blog, a separate comment to say you're following by email, one to say you've liked the Facebook page). Winner will be drawn on September 19. Good luck!
EDIT: I decided to end the giveaway on September 19 instead, to give the winner a little more time to use the coupon!!
EDIT 2: I also want to make it clear that the actual item I am giving away is the COUPON, not everything I listed in the post! The coupon is the giveaway prize, along with some special goodies that may or may not be from Bath & Body Works! I feel like some readers are confused about this. Please make sure you are understanding you will not get everything I listed in my haul

First, let's download the sources of a distribution, compile it as it comes and install it in the router. The next step would be to modify a part of it as you need. Download the source code from WhiteRussian distribution from this page:
Use this URL:
unzip and move to the whiterussian-0.9/ folder. You should start by reading the README file or follow these instructions.
type the following command if you want to change setup options before compiling the distribution:
> make menuconfig
In my case, I didn't need to mess with that configuration. Probably you won't need.
> make
The way OpenWrt is created is as follows: All you download are configuration files. When you run the compilation scripts, they will download the source files from the Linux kernel and other programs needed, like the sources of the gcc compiler, the libraries for STD, and others. In the case of WhiteRussian, it downloads the sources for kernel version 2.4. Be aware that it will download the zip of the sources only if it's not found under the /dl folder of the root folder. So, the first time you compile it, it will download all the libraries and the kernel. The next time this won't happen, unless files are deleted from /dl folder.
If you want to modify the sources, what I've done so far is modifying the Linux kernel. Because WhiteRussian downloads the kernel from a well known Linux kernel download website, it's necessary to tell the compilation scripts that I want it to download my modified version of the source files. In my case, I downloaded the source files for the kernel, applied a patch, zipped again, and uploaded it to my website. Then I found the configuration file I needed to modify, which is found here:
And opened the Makefile. There I found the variable LINUX_HEADERS_SITE, which was set to the Linux kernel download website, and changed it to the following:
LINUX_HEADERS_SITE=www.csee.usf.edu/~mjimeno \
http://www.fr.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.4 \
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.4 \
I also modified the LINUX_KERNEL_MD5SUM, which of course changed when I compiled the sources again. (The md5sum the file comes with should be the one for the kernel files located in the Linux website, which of course doesn't change)
Then I ran "make clean" and "make" to see the changes.

WTF They marched down the field like it was nothing
Dallas TD to bring them within 3
Couple of completions to witten got it all going.
Nicks will be a goner - and we'll still need a #1

How does Atlanta just let them go down and score like that really if they win this day will be horrible...then we will have a bunch of Dallas trolls on here. God won't give NY a break today I guess.

- French elections 2012 - Marine Le Pen
How much of a threat is Marine Le Pen?
With just three days to go before the first round of the election, today's French papers offer you an idiot's guide to all the candidates' manifestos - and ask if Marine Le Pen could cause another upset, like her father in 2002.
By Elena CASAS
Le Parisien has an idiot's guide to all ten candidates' policy programmes - to help that quarter of voters whom Le Figaro says still haven't made up their minds.
Liberation headlines on the threat of Marine Le Pen - in an unstable and unpredictable election campaign, could she repeat her father's shock result of ten years ago?

Classic Car News
John Travolta's stolen classic recovered
Image: Tomas Fano 2009
Last year it was reported that one of the classic cars belonging to film actor John Travolta had been stolen, but this week it emerged that the vehicle had been recovered, or at least parts of it were being reunited with its famous owner.
The 1970 Mercedes-Benz 280SL was taken from Travolta after he left it parked outside a showroom, but following the arrest of two men in their 50s, some of the parts of this classic convertible have been found.
The seats, hubcaps and even the speedometer have been discovered, although they are detached from the rest of the car, which may not be much comfort for Mr Travolta.
One of the men arrested, a Mr Rayford, is being sent down for a 16 month sentence and is also going to hand over $50,000 to Mr Travolta, which should go some way towards compensating him for his loss.
However, the car itself is thought to be worth somewhere in the region of $100,000, so the second man, who has plead not guilty to the charges, may have to make up the difference if he is convicted.
These thieves are claimed to have stolen many classic cars as part of a larger criminal group operating in California.

We're getting married in Mexico, so far just the two of us. My friends are still planning on having a bridal shower for me, and probably a party for us after we get back - should I still register? I like the idea of a honeymoon registry like thebigday.com, especially since I can add things that are for our actual wedding. I also thought about Target, and we do need some stuff from the Home Depot. Would it be too much to register at all three places? How do I let everyone know where we are registered - just tell mom and a few closest friends and let the word get out? Thanks!

Is SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 6870 a good choice? It`ll cost me 629 złotych. I`m looking here: Code: ceneo.pl
If you can swing it, I would get this MSI GeForce with CUDA GTX 560Ti 1GB (PCI-E) HAWK (N560GTX-Ti Hawk)
actually, the 6870 is about 3% stronger than the regular non-TI GTX560. http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/Palit/GeForce_GTX_560_2_GB/27.html I didn't see the MSI card brandonwh64 found. That would be the best card available to you for the money if you can swing that little more over the 6870.
That's for sure a nice card. it seems that its just a search engine and its just a non ti 560 so go for 6870 then.
this is that card http://lustrzanka.net/MSI_GeForce_G...VIHDMI_PCI_E_8104000_wer_Single_Fan-4379.html here's the list http://www.ceneo.pl/12205732 Link? If you sure its a ''Ti'' the price its ok. Those are not ti so not wort it. http://www.ceneo.pl/11373749
This website your using is not the greatest cause they are miss labeling cards, Most of the Ti cards I found were really the NON TI versions. You do not have another site that ships to poland? *EDIT* If they ship to poland? Asus 1GB GeForce GTX 560 Ti DirectCU II TOP NVIDIA Graphics Card
this is the cheapest one i could find http://gsklep.eu/pl/vga-gainward-gtx560-ti-z-cuda-1024mb-ddr5-pci-e.html and this a bit cheaper 715zl http://www.electro.pl/produkt-Karta..._2FOC_NATYCHMIASTOWA_WYSYlKA_-440606,996.html but its better to do some research on the shop before buying if you can visit the shops.
I would opt for the TF2 as it's cooler is proven to be really really good. If you can't justify the premium then get the hawk linked above.
The only issue is the website he was searching lists them as a TI hawk but the sellers are posting non TI and different model numbers. He should search another website that ships to Poland

"Net carbs" is what your body absorbs.... so, i only count "net"
of carbs in a particular item?
like if i eat a pound of of pumpkin with approximately 36 grabs of carbs and 13 grams of fiber would the true total carbs be 23? or is that just bunk?
anything anyone could give me to read on the subject?
"Net carbs" is what your body absorbs.... so, i only count "net"
This holds true for 'real' foods: vegetables, fruit, nuts, dairy. Not for processed and created foods, where 'man-made' carbs/sugars/alcohols/etc are added.
I have read some research indicating that some of the fiber is converted to calories. It varies by food but typically about half. So net carbs is probably less than the true value.
carbs-dietary fiber=net carbs so yes you are right on your 36-13..just make sure your eating good carbs and none of that processed crap

Total carbs is what the PB actually goes by.
It varies by food but typically about half.
I would recommend total carbs. As a type 1 diabetic, I am very aware when net carbs are off. I ate a protein bar (hey, I was hungry, away from home, and it had no soy) the other day. It promised only 4 grams of net carbs. My blood sugar spiked, and it wasn't from the protein.
Net carbs can be a big fat lie.
I wouldn't count dietary fiber as it's not digested. There's more than one type of fiber, so I suggest learning which is which and ignoring the insoluble one in your carb count.

It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men. - Samuel Adams
i think it's instructive that the primal blueprint (the book) is not based around net carbs, but total carbs. it means that you don't have to count this so damn precisely!!!
"dean ornish and dr. davis think the palmitic acid our bodies use for fuel while we sleep is poison if we eat it. zero-carbers like charles washington think the oldest fuel in our evolutionary history glucose - used by organisms a billion years ago and without which the brains of modern mammals cannot survive for more than a few minutes is an unnatural toxin if you eat it. both views ignore basic facts of medical physiology and defy evolutionary history." - kurt harris

Medical emergencies don't play games.
"Becoming a member of MedjetAssist was a natural for me." said Jim Furyk, 16-Time PGA Tour Winner and Medjet Member. "As much time as I spend away from home, both on the Tour and with personal commitments, my Medjet membership takes away any worry about what would happen if I get sick or injured. Rest assured I always pack my Medjet card."
Be prepared if a medical emergency interrupts your next trip. As a Medjet member if you become hospitalized more than 150 miles from home* and meet transport criteria, Medjet will arrange medical transfer to the hospital of your choice, within your home country, at no additional cost. All you pay is the membership fee.
AARP members have access to special discounted pricing on Medjet's annual membership options. Just use your AARP member number at enrollment and save up to 18% on your annual Medjet membership.
The Medjet Difference
It's important to know the difference in medical transport options! Most Platinum card benefits and travel insurance policies will not get you to the hospital of your choice if you are hospitalized while traveling. That is where being a Medjet member pays off.
Most platinum cards and travel insurance policies will only arrange to medically transport you, if medically necessary, and then to the closest appropriate medical center. But as a Medjet member, you make the call on where you want to go for your care and treatment. Most Medjet members want to get back to their home hospital, medical professionals and network of family and friends. As a Medjet member, the decision of which hospital, within your home country, to go to is yours.
So go ahead, travel and relax.
How to Enroll

2:30 p.m. UPDATE: Court has approved the sale to the noteholders group, Real Mex said Friday afternoon.
A group of Real Mex Restaurants investors has made a bid to buy the Cypress-based parent company of El Torito and Chevys.
A federal bankruptcy judge is reviewing the bid today (Feb. 10), company spokesman Rick Van Warner said. The main "noteholders" bidding for the company are Tennenbaum Capital Partners, Z Capital Partners and J.P. Morgan Investment Management, Van Warner said.
The bid price was not revealed. The 179-unit restaurant company began taking bids earlier this year.
Real Mex filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection last year. Other Real Mex brands include Las Brisas in Laguna Beach, El Torito Grill and Acapulco. Over the past several months, the company has closed 30 restaurants across the country, including a Chevy's in Anaheim Hills, an El Torito Grill in Anaheim and El Toritos in Santa Ana and Rancho Santa Margarita.
Real Mex is among a handful of struggling Orange County restaurant companies that have been sold over the past year. Houston-based Landry's bought Claim Jumper and Bubba Gump Shrimp Co in the fall of 2010. A few months later, both companies moved their local headquarters to Texas.

The (Inevitable) Suspect Emerges
One week ago, the South Korean Navy corvette Cheonan sank in the Yellow Sea after being ripped apart by a massive explosion. More than 40 members of the ship's crew remain unaccounted for and are presumed dead. Survivors said the blast split the warship in two sections; the stern sank almost immediately, producing most of the casualties. The forward section remain afloat for almost three hours, allowing more than 50 sailors to survive the disaster.
In the hours after the Cheonan went down, both Seoul and Washington carefully avoided blaming North Korea. Never mind that the corvette exploded and sank near the disputed Northern Limit Line (the maritime extension of the Korean DMZ); or that ROK and North Korean ships have fought bloody engagements in those waters over the past decade. Officials in South Korea and the U.S. emphasized that it was too early to point fingers; assigning blame would come only after completion of a detailed investigation.
While that inquiry is continuing, many in the ROK defense establishment believe the cause (and culprit) has already been established. A senior military official told the Chosun Ilbo newspaper there is a "60-70% percent chance the ship was hit by a North Korean torpedo before it went down." The official based his observation on indications that the Cheonan was fatally damaged by an external explosion, and not an internal mishap. He also suggested that a torpedo attack was considered more likely than a second possibility, that the corvette hit a mine left over from the Korean War.
Buttressing the torpedo theory, a second government source told the paper that U.S. spy satellites detected the departure of a DPRK submarine from the base at Sagot "several days" before the Cheonan went down. The sub reportedly returned to port after the corvette was sunk. The North Korean naval facility is located about 50km from where the ROK vessel sank.
Still, these reports do not represent a smoking gun (or torpedo). As South Korean and U.S. officials freely admit, North Korean subs sortie into the Yellow Sea on a recurring basis. At this point, there is no hard evidence that places any DPRK submarine or smaller submersible in proximity to the Cheonan when it sank.
Additionally, some naval analysts believe the submarine scenario is unlikely because the Yellow Sea (in that area) is extremely shallow. However, that does not rule out a torpedo strike by a submarine operating on the surface, or a launch from a smaller submersible, which can remain submerged in very shallow waters. According to intelligence estimates, at least 20 North Korean submarines and other submersibles operate from Sagot.
While forensic evidence has not produced conclusive proof of a DPRK torpedo or mine attack, the investigation seems to point toward that conclusion. And (as we noted in a previous post), that creates problems for the Obama Administration. The White House and its national security team have been reluctant to point fingers at Pyongyang.
What will happen when the ROK government builds a case that North Korea was to blame, and demand revenge? Past administrations have been able to dissuade Seoul from taking military action, but in those days, South Korea was far weaker militarily, and more dependent on the U.S. for air, naval, intelligence and logistical support. Today, the ROK military is both modern and powerful, more than capable of launching a unilateral strike against Sagot, or other facilities in North Korea.
Obviously, no one wants a resumption of the Korean War, but there is a growing sense in South Korea that Pyongyang must be punished, if it was responsible for the sinking of the Cheonan. Given that reality, Mr. Obama may find it impossible to convince Seoul to turn the other cheek and follow the standard, reactive protocol of strongly-worded diplomatic protests and marginally-effective sanctions.

Survey of Energy Resources 2007
Biomass Resources
The existing large-scale use of forest resources for bioenergy detailed above implies that future expansion of biomass supplies will be from two very distinct streams: the residues associated with current agricultural commodity production and processing, and the planting of energy crops on available land. The latter is of course an option that is unavailable as a large-scale contribution in small highly-populated countries such as the UK and the Netherlands. But for countries such as Argentina, Brazil, Canada, the USA and Russia, as well as some in the eastern part of Europe, increased land utilisation is feasible.
Terrestrial biomass production can be determined from the characteristics of the different ecoregions and their associated biomes. Each ecoregion is defined by its climate, elevation and soils. Climate parameters include temperature, precipitation and solar insolation according to the pattern of the seasons and weather extremes. Satellite observations at several wavelengths of light can be used to prepare an estimate of the density of the green vegetation over the surface of the earth, by means of the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI). The global estimates of net primary productivity (NPP - which is equivalent to the annual amount of photosynthetic carbon fixed in terrestrial biomass) were historically carried out by local sampling measurements in representative biomes that had been more or less mapped. Such extrapolation is now a thing of the past, as satellite sensor technology, mathematical models and geographic information systems (GIS) can now provide almost daily values of the NPP (Running, Nemani, et al., 2004) derived from the NDVI. The algorithm that provides the satellite-based value of NPP assumes a direct relationship between absorbed solar energy and the indices of vegetation, followed by biophysical restrictions such as temperature and water availability. The 2001 terrestrial value is estimated at 55.5 Pg carbon, or 489 g carbon/m2 on vegetated land (Running, Nemani, et al., 2004) equivalent to 1.665 ZJ of primary energy.
These methods can be extended to predict biomass productivity with different crops that have their responses to the biophysical parameters incorporated into calibrated crop growth models. Typically the biome characteristics are described as Agroecological Zones (AEZ) which following an environmental approach, provides a standardised framework for the characterisation of climate, soil and terrain conditions relevant to crop and forest species production, and uses environmental matching procedures to identify limitations of prevailing climate, soil and terrain for assumed management objectives. Such techniques have been used, for example to evaluate the potential for energy crops like miscanthus and willow in eastern Europe and Asia (Fischer, Prieler, et al., 2005), and incorporating land-use restrictions in the GIS treatment. Because these techniques often assume crops better suited to the biome than those currently occupying the land, and the use of best practices in crop management, the yields are usually greater than those generated by the current land use.
However, there are large-scale examples of how well the agricultural system can perform when all of the tools of modern biology are brought to bear. One of these is shown in the over 100-year record of corn yields in the contiguous 48 states of the USA in Fig. 9-7. The data are drawn from the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) and it can be seen that up until World War II the yield was quite low and the agriculture can only be described as extensive, using mainly animal power and low inputs of fertiliser. The last 50 years of the 20th century saw, in turn: the transformation to a mechanised agriculture; the extensive use of fertiliser; the development of F1 hybrids; genetically engineered resistance to pests and weed-control and now the application of genomics and metabonics to optimise the breeding and development of corn cultivars for different regions. The next steps will include the development of corn crops that are specific in their yield of fermentable sugars in the production of ethanol.
The application of genetic engineering to increase drought tolerance, to improve nutrient-use efficiencies also promises to increase the availability of suitable land for growing improved crops.
Energy crops in the form of tree crops and herbaceous energy crops such as switchgrass in the USA and miscanthus in Europe have been the subject of considerable research and development, which is leading towards deployment. In a study conducted by the National Laboratories in the USA, the USDA and the Forest Service (Perlack, Wright, et al., 2005) established that the physical near-term sustainable biomass potential was over 1 Gt of biomass (18 EJ of primary energy equivalent) that could theoretically replace the crude oil currently imported into the US. A GIS-based atlas of the biomass resources of the United States is available from NREL (Milbrandt, 2005).
Forestlands account for an estimated 33% of the US land area. The US Department of Energy (DOE) and the USDA estimate that 333 mt of biomass feedstock are available annually from forestlands. This includes: 47 mt from harvesting for fuelwood, 131 mt from wood processing and pulp and paper mills, 43 mt from urban wood residues, 58 mt from logging and site-clearing operations, and 55 mt from forest fire-hazard reduction efforts. In evaluating the feedstock to be generated from logging and site-clearing and fire-hazard thinning, it was assumed that all forestland not currently accessible by roadways were excluded; all environmentally sensitive areas were excluded; equipment recovery limitations were considered; and recoverable forest materials categorised as either conventional forest products or biomass for bioenergy and biobased products. Agricultural lands are estimated to account for approximately 46% of the entire US land base with 26% consisting of grassland pasture and range, and 20% consisting of cropland. The DOE and USDA estimate that biomass feedstock available from agricultural lands, while still meeting food, feed and export demands, could supply 910 mt of biomass feedstock annually. This includes the following: 390 mt from crop residues, 343 mt from perennial energy crops (both tree and herbaceous), 80 mt of grains for biofuels, and 96 mt from animal manure, process residue, and miscellaneous feedstocks on a dry basis.
Nearly all of the material identified as a near-term resource in the USDOE study is comprised of lignocellulosic material, thus explaining the high degree of research investment into the conversion of these materials into biofuels. A key challenge is in realising the sugar content for bioconversions to first-generation biofuels such as ethanol and eventually to second-generation fuels. Alternative pathways could include thermal conversion and the Fischer-Tropsch process into middle distillates.
For the near-term development, much depends on utilising the process residues generated today. In the section above on electricity much of the opportunity was identified with so-called black liquor in the pulping industry. This is a very large-scale resource, as is the bagasse generated in the production of cane sugar or ethanol, which in total is about 160 mt of dry material worldwide, but has the same advantage in that it is available at the mill site for no additional cost of harvesting and collection.

This page describes how to integrate Sonar SonarQube into a build script for Apache Ant.
You must have previously installed the Sonar SonarQube Ant Task and read Analyzing Source Code Source.
title | Sonar Ant Task 2.0+ |
This page describes how to use the Sonar Ant Task 2.0+
The Ant task is a thin wrapper around the SonarQube Runner, which works by invoking the runner and passing to it all properties named following a sonar.* convention. This has the downside of not being very Ant-y, but the upside of providing instant availability of any new analysis parameter introduced by a new version of a plugin or of SonarQube itself. Therefore, successful use of the SonarQube Ant task requires strict adherence to the property names shown below.
You may also consult the list of analysis parameters for additional properties which will be honored in an Ant-based analysis.
Simple Project
Define a new Sonar sonar
Ant target in your Ant build script:
Code Block | ||||||
| ||||||
<project name="My Project" default="all" basedir="." xmlns:sonar="antlib:org.sonar.ant"> ... <!-- Define the SonarSonarQube global properties (the most usual way is to pass these properties via the command line) --> <property name="sonar.jdbc.url" value="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/sonar?useUnicode=true&characterEncoding=utf8" /> <property name="sonar.jdbc.username" value="sonar" /> <property name="sonar.jdbc.password" value="sonar" /> ... <!-- Define the SonarSonarQube project properties --> <property name="sonar.projectKey" value="org.codehaus.sonar:example-java-ant" /> <property name="sonar.projectName" value="Simple Java Project analyzed with the SonarSonarQube Ant Task" /> <property name="sonar.projectVersion" value="1.0" /> <property name="sonar.language" value="java" /> <property name="sonar.sources" value="src" /> <property name="sonar.binaries" value="build/*.jar" /> ... <!-- Define the SonarSonarQube target --> <target name="sonar"> <taskdef uri="antlib:org.sonar.ant" resource="org/sonar/ant/antlib.xml"> <!-- Update the following line, or put the "sonar-ant-task-*.jar" file in your "$HOME/.ant/lib" folder --> <classpath path="path/to/sonar/ant/task/lib/sonar-ant-task-*.jar" /> </taskdef> <!-- Execute Sonar --> <sonar:sonar /> </target> ... |
Run the following command from the project base directory to launch the Sonar analysis:
Code Block |
ant sonar |
SonarQube 3.7+
Any user who's granted Execute Analysis permission can run an analysis.
If the Anyone group is not granted Execute Analysis permission or if the SonarQube instance is secured (the sonar.forceAuthentication
property is set to true)
, the credentials of a user having been granted Execute Analysis permission have to be provided through the sonar.login
and sonar.password
properties. Example: sonar-runner -Dsonar.login=myLogin -Dsonar.password=myPassword
SonarQube 3.4 to 3.6.3
If a project cannot be accessed anonymously, the 'sonar.login
' and 'sonar.password
' properties are required to run an analysis on this project. These properties have to be set to the credentials of a user having the 'User' role on this project. You can set them either:
- directly on the command line by adding
myUsermyLogin -Dsonar.password=myPassword
- or in the build.xml file
A project cannot be anonymously accessed when either:
- the '
' property is set to 'true
' - or the 'the
' property property is set to 'false
' and the 'Anyone' group has not been granted a 'User' role on the project
Prior to SonarQube 3.4
There is no security restriction.
Sample Projects
To help you getting started, a simple project sample is available on github that can be browsed or downloaded: projects projects/languages/java/ant/java-ant-simple
Multi-module Project
The Sonar configuration for parent and modules must be done in the parent build.xml file:
Code Block | ||||||
| ||||||
<!-- Set modules IDs -->
<property name="sonar.modules" value="module-one,module-two"/>
<!-- For modules, properties are inherited from the parent. They can be overridden as shown below: -->
<property name="module-one.sonar.projectName" value="Module One" />
<property name="module-one.sonar.sources" value="sources/java" />
<property name="module-one.sonar.binaries" value="target" />
<!-- Default module base directory is <curent_directory>/<module_ID>. It can be overridden if necessary -->
<property name="module-one.sonar.projectBaseDir" value="Module 1" />
... |
- Modules with the same structure: projects/multi-module/ant/java-ant-modules-same-structure
- Modules with different structures: projects projects/multi-module/ant/java-ant-modules-different-structures
Multi-module and Multi-language Project
Since Sonar SonarQube 3.3, it is possible to run an analysis on a multi-module project whose modules contains source code from different languages.
In addition to the multi-module configuration, the only mandatory property to set is the language for each module:
To help you getting started, a multi-language project sample is available on github that can be browsed or downloaded: projects projects/languages/multi-language/multi-language-java-javascript-ant
Advanced Usage
Additional analysis parameters can be defined in the build.xml file or through command-line parameters.
Known Limitations
- Main sources and unit test sources cannot be mixed in the same directory
Migrating from
SonarQube Ant Task 1.X to
SonarQubeAnt Task 2.0
The Sonar Ant SonarQubeAnt Task 2.0 can run analyses from configuration files designed for Sonar SonarQube Ant Task 1.X.
This compatibility mode is automatically activated. But we highly recommend you to migrate to the new format as this compatibility mode will be dropped sooner or later in the next versions.

Legal right to 2 year warranty under EU law
Posted in EU law on April 15th, 2012 by adminEU law forces Apple 2-year warranty
Technology giant Apple was fined 900,000 Euros (around £750,000) by the Italian Antitrust Authority last month for not offering enough protection to its customers. Apple offers a standard one year warranty with its products and according to the authority, it fails to inform of the customer's legal right to a two-year warranty for technical support under the EU law. Apple invites its customers to purchase an additional warranty called Apple Care that extends the protection period for a further two years.
The fine
The penalties apply to three of Apple's Italian divisions: Apple Italia, Apple Retail Italia and Apple Sales International. Apple was fined 400,000 Euros for misleading its customers by not recognising the length of the statutory guarantee as prescribed by the Italian consumer code and a further 500,000 Euros for offering the Apple Care protection that in part (for one year) overlaps with the free warranty. The company must also publish an extract from the authority's ruling on Apple's website and amend the Apple Care plan accordingly within 90 days to include details of the two-year warranty.
Similar claims are coming from the consumer groups in Germany, Spain and The Netherlands who also asked Apple to change its terms of warranty in their countries.
Apple's reply
Apple is preparing to launch an appeal. On its website the company stated that it believes to be compliant with the Italian consumer law regulations and that it respects consumer's rights. It also posted an explanation in the legal section of its website explaining that the EU consumer law gives warranty rights in addition to the one-year standard warranty from Apple and Apple Care plan. The statement goes further by summarising the differences between the warranty offered by the EU law and the one offered by Apple. The consumer law warranty offers protection for defects that were present on delivery as opposed to the Apple's after customer takes delivery warranty. The Apple Care plan provides a warranty for three years from the date of purchase for Mac or Apple display and two years for Apple TV, iPad, iPhone or iPod and is available at an additional cost.
The implications
The fine imposed on Apple covers the alleged breach of European warranty laws in Italy only but there is nothing to stop consumers from other European countries to launch similar claims. Apple can argue that the Apple Care Protection Plan gives the customers more than the standard EU law warranty including telephone technical support and express replacement service. However, the company needs to make sure that it is transparent as to which features of the warranty are extra without misleading the customers. For Apple as a company the implications of the Italian Antitrust Authority's fine are significant from the strategic point of view. Apple needs to make sure that the warranty rules within the EU are specifically tailored to the region and are not necessarily the same as the standard regulations for the US or other parts of the world where Apple's products are sold.
