[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] Re: RE: Re: [XenARM] android emulator
Hi, Thanks but, I cannot use a public server during a development stage of Linux stuffs according to a company policy where I work. I have a plan to release of Linux kernel at the Xen ARM home page in the public domain once it is para-virtualized as you can see it in the Xen ARM home page. In the future, I hope anyone who works for the sorceforge based ARM hypervisor project where you are involved will submit code to the Xen ARM project. Thanks, Sang-bum ------- Original Message ------- Sender : Caz Yokoyama<cazyokoyama@xxxxxxxxx> Date : 2009-10-20 09:45 (GMT+09:00) Title : RE: Re: [XenARM] android emulator Hello Sang-bum, It is nice to hear from the person who is behind xen-arm. Do you have a plan to add public read-only access to your 2.6.27 source code repository? I am interested in your progress. If your repository is inside of firewall, there are a lot of free public servers. I am using sourceforge.net. You can use cvs or svn in sourceforge.net. github.com is another one for git. -caz -----Original Message----- From: Sang-bum Suh [mailto:sbuk.suh@xxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, October 19, 2009 5:24 PM To: Michael R. Hines; Caz Yokoyama Cc: xen-arm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Re: [XenARM] android emulator Hi, Excellent ! The released para-virtualized Linux 2.6.21 kernel for the Xen ARM project would run on the Xen ARM on Android emulator. However, you may need a patch to run an Android platform on Linux kernel 2.6.21 and port device drivers to Android emulator, as there is a problem with Linux kernel version and Android platform. Try and download vanila Linux kernel and then update it with Para-virt Linux files of the package at http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenARM. For more details, please refer to section 2.2.2. of the Secure Xen on ARM user's guide at the web page. FYI, I can release para-virtualized Linux kernel 2.6.27 next year of which Linux kernel version does not need such Android patch. Thanks, Sang-bum ------- Original Message ------- Sender : Michael R. Hines<michael@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date : 2009-10-20 08:19 (GMT+09:00) Title : Re: [XenARM] android emulator Actually, I got it to work. The problem was that that I was compiling on a 64-bit version of the ARM-ported emulator instead of a 32-bit version, so I logged into a 32-bit machine and attempted to compile it. However, there was one snag before it worked: a patch is needed: --- Taken from http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=838 1.) A -msse2 cflags is missing in Makefile.target which make _mm_add_si64 cannot be found: /android-emulator-20080826/qemu/skins/skin_argb.h:286: warning: implicit declaration of function '_mm_add_si64' /android-emulator-20080826/qemu/skins/skin_argb.h:286: error: incompatible types in assignment 2.) The error comment in build-emulator.sh is wrong. Patch: --- qemu.orig/Makefile.target 2008-08-29 10:01:41.000000000 +0800 +++ qemu/Makefile.target 2008-08-29 10:01:24.000000000 +0800 @@ -39,7 +39,7 @@ endif ifeq ($(ARCH),i386) OP_CFLAGS=$(CFLAGS) -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -CFLAGS+=-DUSE_MMX -mmmx +CFLAGS+=-DUSE_MMX -mmmx -msse2 ifneq ($(CONFIG_DARWIN),yes) OP_CFLAGS+= -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 else Once I applied this on a 32-bit Ubuntu 9.04 server box, the compile succeeded and the two mini-os domains started running inside the emulator. Cool stuff! Thank you very much for your quick response. What is the possibility of getting a full linux-2.6.21-arm running inside the emulator? Is that possible right now? - Michael Caz Yokoyama wrote: > Hello Michael, > What optimization option do you use? -O2? -O0? Don't use -O0. You will have > segfault.

Head over to Staples.com where right now you can grab a 12-count pack of Brawny Pick-A-Size Paper Towel Rolls 2-Ply for only $9.99! Simply add them to your cart where you'll see an additional $3 off the original $12.99 price. And, Staples Rewards members will also be able to receive free shipping to your front door which is nice where, if you're like me, the snow that dumped on us yesterday will leave less than desirable conditions for lugging 12 rolls of paper towels to the car. If you are not a Staples Rewards member, simply choose in-store pickup to avoid shipping costs.
Hurry, this deal may sell out quickly!
On a side note, I previously had thought when originally writing this deal up that these were sold out. When I went back over to Staples.com, it was other items in my cart that were giving me the "sold out" error so once I took those out, I was good to go.

California's Drift Gillnet Fishery
The California drift gillnet fishery for swordfish and shark is the most dangerous fishery for whales and other marine mammals along the U.S. West Coast from California to Alaska.
Over the past decade, more than 1,300 sea lions, dolphins, whales and turtles drowned after getting tangled in the large-mesh drift gillnets targeting swordfish and shark.
The 12 to 25 vessels operating in the drift gillnet fishery accidentally capture and kill more whales and marine mammals than any other fishery along the U.S. West Coast.
While drift gillnets have been banned in Oregon, Washington and the High Seas because of their deadly toll on endangered wildlife, California's drift gillnet fishery targeting swordfish and thresher shark continues to operate.
Nets that stretch a mile are set to soak overnight, and catch and drown marine animals indiscriminately.
Join us in calling for a phase out of the fishery once and for all. Until then, we urge you to swear off swordfish and shark (if you haven't already).

1948 London Olympics
This summer's London Olympics has a $16 billion price tag, lavish new venues, and a revitalized East End. Compare that with London's 1948 "Austerity Games"--which featured bombed-out buildings, rubble, and a shoestring budget. -- By Andrew Dubbins, Yahoo! Sports

Greetings forumites,
I am currently on a plane to Firaxis to spend the next couple days recording podcasts for Civ V GAK.
I've got a list of topics I'd like to do, but I want to make sure I cover the topics you guys are interested in! To that end, use the read to propose topics or questions for the dev team.
But please keep in mind that I'm not looking for things like "what is the ninth civ" or "name all of the new units". I already know that you guys want every last detail about what exactly is in the expansion ;P
Instead what I'm looking for is questions for the devs about what they do. "How did you decide which civs to include" is a great example (and already on my list!)
So please reply to this thread with your proposals and I'll be sure to read them before we start rolling tomorrow

St. John's that is...
My old roommate called me about noon and said he was off work, we ran a couple of quick errands and then went and stole a boat to go speck fishing. After successfully pilfering the vessel we embarked on one of the nastiest runs I've made in a flat bottom johnny. Wasn't a big deal once we crossed the river and pulled into the narrow river we were going to be fishing and quickly got on 'em. I put 5 or 6 in the boat before Thomas finally found one. Then the bite died. We ran to another spot we had caught some big ones at on the previous trip but no one was home. Returned to the previous location and found them firing good. I slipped into a day dream as thoughts of birds circling over head and tuna crashing ran through my mind I was awoken from my day dream by a tug. My 1000 Sahara was screaming drag as the fish tried to get free. But atlast his efforts were futile, the 6# leader was too much and he finally succumb to the power. As I boated him he fit nicely in the palm of my hand and I realized that the will of this fish was that many times his size, he was much smaller than the rest and I returned him to his home, hopefully to grow up for next time!
The sun was setting, it was raining, AGAIN, and my sinus headache was reaching epic levels.
No pics, but we had about 20-25 fish between 10-13". Threw back a handful of bluegill/bream.

nice day in the john Any information on what fish species you caught?
Sorry about that, mom was yelling at me to put up x-mas lights... We were speck fishin.
Sounds to me like some of them there Speckled Perch. Fins correct me if I'm wrong. Sounds like a good day. Have not had the chance to get out there this season. Monroe in the pads should be firing right now.
Nice job on the specks.. I have been wanting to try and fish for them one of these days.. Fins you have a PM
Nice work fins
Hey Fins,
did you just use jigs or minnows? if you use minnows where do you get them?
We only fish jigs... When we go we usually only have 2 hrs or so before dark and don't mess with bait.
10-4.....do you know of anywhere to get minnows in that area?
if its too windy for the goon this weekend im prob. gonna head out in search of some specks

Arnie Morton's The Steakhouse - Burbank
Online Reservations
had business lunch ordered from lunch menu. steak was drowning in butter. noise level absurd, as they had muzak on.
we had the best time and food, the waiter was very knowledgable about the menu, very on top of things, clearing plates, filling drinks and the food OMG was exactly, we will definitely go there again
There was a bit of a rough transition after the Landrys Group took the reins of Arnie Morton's in Burbank, but it seems like most has been righted. We had a few less than stellar experiences with weak service and food not prepared to our requests, and this was one last chance for them to show us that they could come through and meet our expectations based on the old Morton's standard. Well, they tried very hard and succeeded! Food prepared perfectly and service was friendly and efficient. I do like the expanded menu and there are numerous items from the old Morton's menu to keep fans happy. Will definitely be back and definitely recommend to anyone. Thank you guys.
My first time at Morton's and was not disappointed! Nice subtle ambience, comfortable and a nice menu. Everything was delightful. A very nice place for a special birthday dinner.
A wonderful dinner and comparatively quiet for the two hard of hearing members of the family. We had a slight delay in some arrivals due to car trouble but the staff was very understanding and kind about the whole thing. That we're attentive without hovering.
My boyfriend and I LOVED Morton's! From the moment we arrived entire staff was so welcoming and kind. Fantastic warm onion bread came right away- excellent waitress - huge portions - made all the changes I wanted to my meal. My lobster tail was sweet and tender (not chewy like many places I've eaten the same dish). My boyfriend's steak was excellent - might have been a tad bit more tender but overall an excellent cut and nicely prepared. Skip the chocolate mousse unless you love very very sweet desserts- I would highly suggest they switch to DARK chocolate mousse with less sugar but otherwise loved this place and we sure plan to return- a huge menu and there were many dishes we still want to try! Great, romantic ambiance also
The fixed lunch menu is a real deal. Evening dining be prepared to spend some dollars but the food and service are well worth the price. Great service with just the right amount of attention.
Food was very good as usual but them not having the large lobsters as the chain normally has and advertises lost the 5th star.
For some reason our waiter felt very condescending, and that took away from our experience.
Always love the quality of food and service at Morton's.. But when we were recently offered the "summer menu" and saw the reasonable price, we booked a reservation immediately. Not knowing what to expect, we were blown away by the excellence of selection, food and service. Morton's provides first class food and service no matter what time of year. J J Charles
I've probably been there a dozen times now and it is always good (and always the same, which is fine). Steaks (large if you want them, not if you don't), sides for the table. Its nice to be able to pick your sides although two sides are two much for just two people to share so it might be nice if there were large and smalls in the sides. The cooked to order dessert that you have to order at the beginning of the meal are great -- particularly the apple one and the souffle. Definitely not cool and trendy but consistently good food for its genre and a pleasant if somewhat staid atmosphere. The noise level was occasionally a bit too high on this trip which I don't remember from previous trips so perhaps it was a particular table.
A few misses but the steak was delicious. The Bad: New ginger drink was terrible. Not a trace of ginger in it. It was more like a Kamikaze. One of my favorites, the Jumbo Lump Crab Cocktail is not nearly the same since the change over and I doubt that I'd get it again. Finally, the salad wasn't as good as usual. It felt like it had been sitting out too long and was a little limp. The Good: Love the extended menu options. Entrees were excellent and the mac and cheese is killer. So happy that's back. Did a lemon souffle that was light and delicious. Service was quite good and they took great care of my wife for her birthday.
Nothing much to say. It's always good, quite and the staff is great.
The overall experience was wonderful. The food was superb and delicious. The service was impeccable. Beautiful restaurant. Staff was very attentive. Can't wait to go back for a special occasion.
Always a great place for special occasions. Juicy and delicious steaks with great sides and excellent service from our server, Erin.
The reason I initially came to a Morton's restaurant was because I had heard of the wonderful presentation they would give of all the different types of cuts and different types of seafood available before you placed your order. As most people are aware, we first eat with our eyes. This presentation is what made me want to return to Morton's, it made for a memorable night not just for myself, but for my guests as well. Unfortunately since the Landry's takeover in 2012 this presentation is no longer offered to customers, which in turns makes Morton's just another regular steak house... Nothing really special about it except for the pre-2012 memories.
This is super expensive special occasion dining, unless you're one of the movie industry bigwigs who still has an expense account. But, wow, is the food good. Steak melts like butta in your mouth and the next day you'll fight for the leftovers of the savory sides. Classy, simple decor.
We went here for our anniversary. The service was excellent. Wine list was extensive. Menu was expensive but the food was good. Not the best steak I ever had but I would but it in the top 5 on my list. We had reservations but really didn't need it due to the time we arrived. (Tuesday 4pm) The food portions were adequate.
Morton's is awesome for special Occasions, we go there a lot and love the great Service and the Food is super good.
We celebrated my wife's birthday at the restaurant and couldn't have been happier that we did. The food was excellent and the portion size was very generous. The Morton's name denotes excellence and they lived up to that reputation.
Excellent food - that the steak is delicious is a given, but don't miss their bacon wrapped scallop appetizer, either! The service is as good as the food, attentive and friendly. We've never had anything less than a great meal here.
Wonderful restaurant with attentive staff. Very customer oriented with full emphasis on customer satisfaction.
My office team rarely dines out for lunch, but when one of us was celebrating an anniversary with the company we decided to head to Morton's for lunch. It was also during dineLA's Restaurant Week. We were very excited about enjoying the Prix Fixe menu that was posted on the dineLA Restaurant Week's website. Half of the group ordered from the Restaurant Week menu, and the other half ordered from Morton's regular prix fixe menu. The selections to choose from are perfect. The starters have a nice selection of salads and soups, while the entree's have a nice selection of beef, chicken, seafood options. The dineLA Restaurant Week menu only had the Chocolate Mousse for dessert, but the regular prix fixe menu also offered Cheesecake.
My wife and I both had the prix fixe summer special (appetizer, salad, Filet Mignon, dessert). Food quality was outstanding, from the appetizers to the desserts. We've been to Morton's (this one and others) many times, and our Filets were perhaps the best we've had here. Very comfortable, relaxed atmosphere, dark but not too dark, adds a little sense of privacy even though it's an open room. Service was good, a little slow after we'd finished our dessert and wanted to leave, but that's minor compared to the meal we had. We'll definitely be back.
Had gone for a romantic birthday dinner with my girlfriend, everything was perfect, and the special menu wishing happy birthday and the courtesy picture with birthday well wishes were very thoughtful and appreciated. The food was excellent and this was a memorable and enjoyable experience. Great Job Mortons!!
Took my wife here for her birthday. I made a reservation online and it asks you if you're celebrating something, I put my wife's birthday and didn't think much of it or expect much, but I was delightfully surprised. The restaurant made a customized menu with my wife's name on it wishing a happy birthday. Might be cheesy to some but we thought it was a nice touch. Also got a nice dessert at the end. The food was what you would expect. Great for the price. Cooked to your liking. The service was very good and attentive. We even got a complimentary picture with happy birthday on it. Cute. I would definitely recommend this restaurant for a special occasion, seems they go out of their way to make it special and that's great!
Went for my Wife's birthday and the staff was really welcoming and help full. Food was good and will come back over and over.
The food , service and ambiance are just great. Staff is super friendly. I would recommend Morton's to all who enjoy great food and friendly service.
I have eaten at the Downtown Los Angeles Arnie Morton's and expected a good steak dinner in Burbank as well and was not disappointed. The quality of the service and the food were very good. We had a very relaxing and fulfilling meal with good service from all the staff. Parking is a little interesting as we missed the Valet parking, but parking in the large underground parking lot for the business complex the restaurant was located did not prove too difficult for our early seating. Just not a lot of signs with directions to the restaurant.
Came here for a birthday and everything was just perfect--food was delicious, service was excellent. I love that it has valet parking. It was also nice that they took a picture of our group, framed it up and gave it to us as a gift! Another great thing is that you can see the kitchen and the cooks working. I would definitely recommend this place to everyone.
We were celebrating our anniversary. The staff seemed to go out of their way to make our evening special. But actually, everyone in the room was getting this high level of service. My wife is a "Foodie" and she loved everything brought to our table. I had the best New York cut of steak in memory. It was really that great.
We went for our 10th anniversary, Everyone at the restaurant wished us a happy anniversary, made us a special menu and also a picture of the two of us at dinner.....Everything about the evening was unbelievable from the food to the service...Can't wait to go back
Brice our waiter was great. His service was impeccable. He was really nice, service was great and very sociable.
We frequent Morton's in Chicago, Schaumburg, IL , Las Vegas, Burbank ,Ca, and we always have a great dining experience. Great food, great atmosphere and service. The staff is always pleasant as if you were at a little friendly neighbor hood restaurant!
Went there with a very good friend to whish his good luck on his move.
I went here with then girlfriend for our 4 years anniversary. I called ahead of time to let them know I would be proposing and they did an excellent job! Our dinner was delicious, the staff was very attentive and they did an amazing job at helping me with my proposal! Everything went exactly as planned and I left there with a fiancé!!
We were celebrating a special evening and the service, setting and quality were outstanding. Friends suggested it for a special occasion. All servers are well trained, knowledgeable, courteous and made us feel special! Indeed, Settling down in the bar for a brief drink, people watching and appetizer set the pace for the evening. it was a special night and we will be back for more! The steak, a rare treat, that I was yearning for exceeded all expetations.
We were celebrating Carol's birthday. The food was great and Morton's went out of their way to provide gracious and attentive service, making this a very special occasion.
Food was excellent, service needs to be improved. Had to ask multiple times for bread and drinks.
One of the better rib-eyes around. Juicy, flavorful, and cooked exactly as I asked for it, "medium rare plus", that perfect temperature between medium rare and medium. It came to the table hot, almost sizzling, though I know they let the steaks rest for 5 minutes as a matter of wise culinary practice. Our server was attentive, friendly and efficient, and we felt well-taken care of. A most enjoyable meal! I recommend it to steak lovers!
Always a great place to dine! Food is always prepared to perfection. Best service. The bone in rib eye is so tender and full of flavor. My favorite steak restaurant.
Only dilemma, three sides were ordered and all three were lukewarm. Other than that the steaks were superb and service with a smile was present.
I wish I could remember her name -- but our waitress brought old fashion high level professional waiter skills to the table! Very unexpected for lunch, let alone lunch in the valley which tends to be actors letting you know they are just filling time. The food was acceptable (not great) -- the asparagus tough, the steak just fine, and the salad over-dressed. But the biggest complaint was how dark it was for lunch -- not particularly conducive to a true working meal.
If your looking for special classic quality! This is it!
Landry's has negatively changed the Morton's restaurant experience so much that its disappointing. That said, Arnie Morton's in Burbank somehow has managed to keep the old style while still providing a great meal and service. For the amount of money that I spend at a place like this one, I should expect and get a greater restaurant experience than at Claim Jumpers! I know I speak for a whole lot of people that no longer visit Morton's for that very reason!
Still the best steak in town. The cajun rib eye is divine
a great place for special occasion. We had a large table of loud business men by us, otherwise a very quiet place. Our waitress was incredible. knew about everything on the menu. wonderful
Stopped here after attending the Jay Leno show...was trying to avoid the LA traffic at that time of day. We have eaten at several Morton's around the US. The environment, quality of food and service were all outstanding at this Morton's....just as we have come to expect from them. They do a great job.
I worked with Stacy to get things set up. She went above and beyond fort group and really appreciate it. The food was awesome. The service was a little slow ( like refilling water) but I am aware it was during peak hours. Overall I look forward to next year.
we celebrated a significant anniversary here. We received first class treatment.

Having an issue with one of our Rockets and/or G5..
It was running fine and had current firmware and drivers. It was living fine in the x16 slot just above our ATI Radeon 2600 and below the Atto H60F. Running RCX 454. The computer was moved from one place to another. Now we have troubles.
To start, the system sees the rocket in the system profile.
Then launch Redcine-X
It sees the Rocket, hilighted orange in the Viewer window.
When trying to play an R3D, the Viewer is blacked out and eventually RCX freezes.
After swapping the placement and putting the Rocket in the x4 slot, it sees it in the system, but can't use it in RedCine-X. And putting the ATTO card in the x16 slot it is showing up just fine, where the RR was having trouble.
Then we try to use our second backup Rocket:
Tried a new Rocket card in the same x16 PCI slot, but it couldn't read the card sometimes, sometimes could, but would say need to install driver/firmware.
Upon trying to install, Terminal says Could not Enter Card, had to shut down.
What's the problem? Is it the PCI slot or the RedRocket? What else can be tested? I'm trying to find someone elses G5 to test install there.
I hope this makes sense as I write this in the middle of the night.
All your help is very appreciated!

Great shoe
By Granny S
from Lakeland, FL
I think these are the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn. I bought a 1/2 size smaller than I normally wear because they didn't have my size. With the stretch I am able to wear them OK. The soles are heavy duty & provide good support. I hope Dr Leonard will restock these so I can get the right size & different colors.
I would buy this product again.

We're trying something new this year with my son Caden and his friends. Since all the kids are off school on Monday for Presidents Day, I thought we'd let him have a Presidents Day Party and invite all his friends over. They're off every year for the holiday, but there's never anything really going on so we thought this might be something fun to do.
However, there is a little "catch" to the party! All the boys that come have to wear a President's mask or they can go all out and come dressed as their favorite President. It can be any President they want, from George Washington to President Obama AND they have to know at least two important facts about that President. At first I didn't think Caden would go for the idea, but after he told his friends about it, they were all for it. Although I'm pretty sure they'd do just about anything for a party!
Caden suggested we have games and prizes and lots of food. We're going to decorate the house with everything and anything red, white and blue with those small plastic American flags everywhere. It should be a lot of fun and the kids will have a blast!
This year if your kids are off school on Presidents Day, think about throwing a Presidents Day Party for them. They'll be having so much fun they won't even realize they're actually learning about the different President's as well!

Fruit harvest promises fine diningAugust 3, 2013As early morning coolness greets us and our summer begins to slip away, we see welcome sights dotting our countryside with the appearance of farmers market fresh fruit varieties that promise the bes...... PuremagixI love fresh fruit anf veggies, but these farmer's markets have become a den of thieves. I visited the one in Buckhannon last year and they were asking nearly $40 for a bushel of potatoes, and nearly $50 for a bushel of peaches. I can buy potatoes for $15 a bushel nearly anywhere, and you can drive to Romney on a nice weekend trip and get all the apples and peaches you want for around $20-$25 a bushel for peaches, and $15-$20 a bushel for apples. I beat the system entirely when I planted my own peach and apple trees. 1 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse » Showing 1 of 1 comments

Hagel also said protection of Americans in Egypt is of the "highest priority."
But Saudi Arabia's foreign minister assured Egyptians that Arab nations will support Egypt if any international aid to the country is cut, the Saudi Press Agency reported Monday.
"The Arab and Islamic nation is rich when it comes to the support of its sons and its potentials and will not shy away from providing a helping hand to Egypt," Saud Al-Faisal said.
International response called weak, ineffective
The carnage has spurred a call from leading human rights group Amnesty International for a "full, impartial and effective investigation in the shocking loss of life."
"The interim government has already stained its human rights record -- first by breaking its promises to use nonlethal weapons to disperse pro-Morsi sit-ins and allow for the safe exit of wounded, and then by justifying their actions despite the tragic loss of lives," said Salil Shetty, secretary-general of Amnesty International, in a news release.
"The response of the international community has been weak and ineffective, even as everyone leaps to condemn the horrific loss of life. The international community must act decisively to send a message that no government can behave this way and retain any credibility."
The group documented a rise in civil strife since the July 3 coup and cited "a string of serious human rights abuses, culminating in the wholesale attack by the security forces" on pro-Morsy sit-ins last week.
"These abuses have included an alarming and unprecedented rise in sectarian violence against Coptic Christians across the country, "seemingly in retaliation for their support" for Morsy's ouster.
It cited abuses by pro-Morsy protesters "including beatings, torture and killings.
"In recent days, the scale of violence by some Morsy supporters have manifestly increased, as some attacked government buildings and police stations and personnel. Some protesters have also fired live ammunition on local residents," Amnesty said.
Mubarak in court
As the upheaval persists in Egypt, Mubarak's court cases grind on. In Cairo, a criminal court acquitted the former president in a corruption case, Egyptian state TV reported Monday.
The case stemmed from accusations of squandering public money allocated for renovating presidential palaces. He also faces at least one other outstanding corruption claim.
Separately, Mubarak is also facing a more serious accusation: that he was involved in the killing of protesters during the 2011 uprising.
A Cairo court on Saturday adjourned a retrial in that case to this coming Sunday.
Mubarak ruled Egypt, the most populous Arab country, for three decades until demonstrators opposing his rule forced his ouster in 2011. He was convicted in 2012 in the deaths of numerous protesters, but was later granted a retrial.
After a lengthy trial, he and his former interior minister, Habib al-Adly, were found guilty and sentenced to life in prison last year on charges that they were complicit in the protesters' killings. After appealing their convictions, they were granted a new trial early this year.
Mubarak has been held since his guilty verdict last year. After months spent in a military hospital, a public prosecutor sent him back to prison in April.
The ousted autocratic leader's health has been a bone of contention during his trial and incarceration. He suffered a heart attack after relinquishing power and had said that he was physically unfit to stand trial.

Anyone else not think this is the right time? Feb is actually pretty soon and no singles at this point, the mainstream media have had a bit of an over saturation of Minaj lately? I think she should've left it til Summer for people to grow some more thirst for a follow up, this isn't of such great taste IMO unless it is just a small album to keep people until the actual sophomore record.

I bought 2 of these for my boys for a long distance cycle ride, my eldest son virtually lived in his!! The sizing was perfect, my boys are a slim build and it was lovely to buy the correct size for them. They wash well, if they do a long sleeve version I would get that to see us through the winter cycling.
02/07/2013 12:08:47
Its hard to find any clothes for mid-teen boys, they are too big for kids wear and too small for mens. Its great you have a range going up to age 14, so many stop at age 12. If you could extend it to 15-16 years it would be even better. Trespass do age 15-16, I'm sure you could as well
29/07/2013 14:18:00
This is a great top which is perfect for children who like the outdoors and go camping and walking, I always buy these type of tops for my children, much better at keeping moisture away from the body unlike a normal cotton t-shirt.
05/05/2013 17:23:18
Chosen by my daughter who lives in cycling clothes. She loved the range of colours. Practical fabric, good for layering. So far worn with a long sleeved tshirt under it.
20/04/2013 06:45:10
Comfortable, cool technology, t-shirt, appropriate for wear during outdoor activity, but also styling such that will look good for casual wear also.
13/10/2013 18:40:30
Great to get high tech clothing for kids at not ridiculous prices. My son needs this for triathlon so am hoping it makes him go fast too!
09/08/2013 20:16:51
Good quality wicking top, excellent value at £4.99 in the sale. Very comfortable and size 13/14 years will fit a small adult. Great buy!
28/07/2013 21:37:06
Perfect for 9 year old son to wear hiking this summer. Will use when cycling too. Quality seems great at a price that is very reasonable
25/08/2013 16:00:12
Appears good quality can't say for sure as he's not used it yet but appears a good base layer
04/06/2013 21:45:40

However, every employer subject to any provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, as amended (hereinafter referred to as the "Act"), is required to maintain records containing the information and data required by the specific sections of this part. The records may be maintained and preserved on microfilm or other basic source document of an automatic word or data processing memory provided that adequate projection or viewing equipment is available, that the reproductions are clear and identifiable by date or pay period and that extensions or transcriptions of the information required by this part are made available upon request.
Subpart A of this part contains the requirements generally applicable to all employers employing covered employees, including the requirements relating to the posting of notices, the preservation and location of records, and the recordkeeping requirements for employers of employees to whom both the minimum wage provisions of section 6 or the minimum wage provisions of section 6 and the overtime pay provisions of section 7(a) of the Act apply. In addition, § 516.3 contains the requirements relating to executive, administrative, and professional employees (including academic administrative personnel or teachers in elementary or secondary schools), and outside sales employees.

This section also specifies the records needed for deductions from and additions to wages for "board, lodging, or other facilities," industrial homeworkers and employees whose tips are credited toward wages. The sections in subpart B of this part require the recording of more, less, or different items of information or data than required under the generally applicable recordkeeping requirements of subpart A.

PlayStation Plus
PlayStation Plus is a paid PlayStation Network subscription service that was officially unveiled at E3 2010 by Jack Tretton, President and CEO of SCEA. Rumors of such service had been in speculation since Kaz Hirai's announcement at TGS 2009 of a possible paid service for PSN but with the current PSN service still available. Launched alongside PS3 firmware 3.40 and PSP firmware 6.30 on 29 June 2010, the paid-for subscription service provides users with enhanced services on the PlayStation Network, on top of the current PSN service which is still available with all of its features. These enhancements include the ability to have demos, game and system software updates download automatically to the PlayStation 3. Subscribers also get early or exclusive access to some betas, game demos, premium downloadable content and other PlayStation Store items as well as a free subscription to Qore. Users may choose to purchase either a one-year or a three-month subscription to PlayStation Plus.
SCEA is offering a limited time offer for the one-year subscription, which is an additional three-months for free, while SCEE is offering one-year subscribers a digital copy of LittleBigPlanet for a limited time. Regular free bonuses are also made available. These include PlayStation Store discounts and free PlayStation Network games and Downloadable Content (DLC), PSone Classics and PlayStation Minis which the user will own for the duration of their subscription as well as themes and avatars which the user can keep after their subscription has lapsed. PlayStation Plus also offers "Full Game Trials" of some PlayStation Network and retail games, allowing the user to download the full game and use it for one hour. Users can later purchase the game and continue their progress. For SCEA, the first Full Game Trial is for inFamous, while European subscribers get to try out Shatter and Savage Moon. In addition, users who are PlayStation Plus subscribers have the PlayStation Plus icon by their PSN ID. Users can only sign up for PlayStation Plus through the PlayStation Store via the PS3.
PlayStation Home
PlayStation Home is a virtual 3D social networking service for the PlayStation Network. Home allows users to create a custom avatar, which can be groomed realistically. Users can edit and decorate their personal apartments, avatars or club houses with free, premium or won content. Users can shop for new items or win prizes from PS3 games, or Home activities. Users interact and connect with friends and customise content in a virtual world. Home also acts as a meeting place for users that want to play multiplayer games with others.
A closed beta began in Europe from May 2007 and expanded to other territories soon after. Home was delayed and expanded several times before initially releasing. The Open Beta test was started on 11 December 2008. Home is available directly from the PlayStation 3 XrossMediaBar. Membership is free and requires a PSN account.
Home features places to meet and interact, dedicated game spaces, developer spaces, company spaces and events. The service undergoes a weekly maintenance and frequent updates. At TGS 2009, Kazuo Hirai announced that Home has been downloaded by 8 million users.
- The PS3 is very popular for introducing the idea of user-created content.
- There are no PS3-exclusive Sonic games, all of which appear on the Xbox 360.
- Recently, PlayStation as started making a series of live-action commercials in promotion to their new fighting game PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale (a similar title to the Sega All-Stars and Super Smash Bros. Brawl) starting with the very popular commercial "Michael" which was the bases for the previously said game.

bwahaha. That's awesome.
Nearly worth it just for the countersink bits.
Shoot - if the cost would only be the 99 cents, it's not a bad deal - but add in 5 dollars shipping, and it really sux - not worth even reading about.
500% shipping? I'll pass...
If it were $5.00 with $.99 shipping I would be in...
I took one for the team to try to make them sell out faster and am in for 3.

buy 3 then you're getting a deal on shipping!
It's not letting me want three!
Guess they couldn't get rid of them last woot off. I got it in my Barrel of Crops last time.
Horrible reviews on Amazon :-( I almost pulled the trigger before checking, glad I did
8 bucks for 3 of these is a great deal, it comes with a few bits and they make great gifts
$6.77 a piece at Amazon http://www.amazon.com/Half-Time-Drill-HT011712/dp/B005CVCXRA/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1335480314&sr=8-1-fkmr0
Got one of these in the last Bag of Crap. The device itself is very poorly made. The bits are probably worth the $0.99. Buy it for the bits and discard the half-time thing.
In for 2. Cheap gifts.
earmstro wrote:Nearly worth it just for the countersink bits.
Word. Plus the case is nice too.
In for three, will give them to my co-workers I don't like....
I bought this before and they make great gifts. If your a cheap skate like me, you'll order 3 of them.

This item sucks. Don't waste your money. I bought it last time around and it wobbles +/-1/4". It is very hard to have any measure of precision with it. The drill tips for creating the initial hole do not grip the bit well and it slips easily. Booooo!!!
movin' it along... In Fur 3
Buy 2 and you can be done in No Time. Buy 3 and you can be done before you start.
gjames wrote:It's not letting me want three!
It wasn't letting me want three in two different browsers, but a reload and a little extra wait and it responded. That was strange.
I'm still holding out for the Hammer Time Drill Driver.
bought one the last time they were wooted. it broke the first time i used it! I was able to kind of put it back together and use it, and it really is fairly handy when it's not coming apart. The bits are the best part of the deal. I haven't injured myself yet on it, but i'm sure i'm going to.
pdxfrommer wrote:If it were $5.00 with $.99 shipping I would be in...
I see what you did there.
What if I want to use it during the game, not just at Half Time?
You are better served by buying a lottery ticket than this screwtime, and its coming from a person who does not play lottery This is award winning piece of garbage. Don't waste your time.

Within the United Nations framework of the Economic and Social Council, the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) serves as the focal point for trade facilitation recommendations and electronic business standards, covering both commercial and government business processes that can foster growth in international trade and related services. In this context, the United Nations Centre for Trade Facilitation and Electronic Business (UN/CEFACT) was established, as a subsidiary, intergovernmental body of the UNECE Committee on Trade, mandated to develop a programme of work of global relevance to achieve improved worldwide coordination and cooperation in these areas.
12 December 2013: The posted zip file for the D13A XML schemas has been found to have some files which were not the latest versions. An corrected directory is now available on the website.
5 December 2013: "Call for Participation" on Project "Destination Travel Information (DTI) Process".
The UN/CEFACT Sectoral Program Development Area / Travel and Tourism Domain is pleased to announce the UN/CEFACT Bureau decision on 15 October 2013 to launch the project on "Destination Travel Information (DTI) Process".
To register interest in participation or for more information please contact Giljun Ko, Project Chair, or Akio Suzuki, Domain Coordinator.
19 November 2013: A 60 day public review is open for version 2.1 of the UN/CEFACT Naming and Design Rules for CCTS 2.01 (NDR 2.1). This aims to enable easier maintenance and production of Schema.
The revised draft focuses on two areas. The first is making the Unqualified Data Type Schema an informative, rather than a normative part of the standard, thus enabling easier maintenance. This would allow the Data Types to be updated without a corresponding update of these Naming and Design Rules. The second area is the removal of absolute path names (to the UNECE website) for Schema enabling more portability of Schema.
The revised draft (with the change log from NDR 2.0) and the template for all comments are available at Public review page of the project.
All comments should be submitted to the Project Leader, Chris Hassler
8 November 2013: In addition to mentioned errors in UN/EDIFACT directory version D.13A another error (missing code DPL in data element 8053) was found and is now corrected. Updated directory is available on the UN/EDIFACT website.
6 November 2013: "Call for Participation" on Project "Reutilization of Data from Utility Management System".
The UN/CEFACT Sectoral Program Development Area / Utility Domain is pleased to announce the UN/CEFACT Bureau decision to launch the project on "Reutilization of Data from Utility Management System".
To register interest in participation or for more information please contact Shingo Sakaguchi.
6 November 2013: The UN/CEFACT Schema library version D.13A has been approved and is now available along with the validation report and release notes. Any comments on the standard should be sent to Peter Amstutz, Bureau Vice Chair.
5 November 2013: Registration for the 23rd UN/CEFACT Forum in Geneva (April 7 to 11, 2014) is now open.

Are offers for interns negotiable? I'm sure this varies from company to company, but most startups don't have a formal intern program like much larger companies and probably far fewer applicants and far less recruiting. In general, would it be out of line for an undergraduate to try to get a better offer?
We hire a couple interns a year for web design, development and internet marketing. Interviewing for internships is similar to interviewing for a real job and your starting salary can certainly be negotiated if you feel that it is warranted. If you are very experienced already and are going to bring a ton of value to the company then they shouldn't pay you the same as an intern that is just starting out. If that's the type of offer they make you then you can certainly negotiate. For internships you should be more focused on experience then money. The difference in a couple bucks and hour today is not going to be a big difference in the long term. However, being too greedy and not getting an internship that has the potential to educate you and put you into a position of making much more money later on - could certainly hurt you. Startups may not have the money - worst that could happen is they say no and you accept the current terms. Well worst they could do is say no and offer the job to someone else, but assuming you are negotiating in person you can try, and if they say no still accept. | |||

Music and the Brain
U.S. Library of Congress
(free online at www.loc.gov/podcasts/musicandthebrain/index.html)
The sparkling sounds of a Mozart piano concerto, the tragic wails of a Wagner aria—there is no question that music has a profound influence on the mind. Not only does it evoke powerful emotions, but research suggests that listening to and making music can also shape brain development, help treat neurological conditions such as clinical depression and even reduce the propensity to commit crimes. These topics receive in-depth coverage in Music and the Brain, a podcast series created by the Library of Congress.
In each 20-minute show, veteran radio host Steve Mencher invites his guests, who include scientists, composers, performers and physicians, to discuss their research, exploring the effects music has on the brain. The shows typically begin with Mencher asking somewhat off-topic questions.
The second half of each episode, which focuses on recent scientific discoveries, is the most interesting part. Gottfried Schlaug, director of the music, neuroimaging and stroke recovery laboratories at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in New York City, addresses the ways in which the brains of musicians and nonmusicians differ. He suggests that making music during youth enhances the development of the interior frontal gyrus, a region that connects the motor and auditory systems. Vera Brandes, director of the research program in music medicine at the Paracelsus Private Medical University of Salzburg in Austria, talks about the healing potential of both making and listening to music. "The healthiest people on this planet are singers," she explains, in part because their focus on breathing helps keep the body properly infused with oxygen.
McGill University music psychologist Daniel Levitin delves deeply into the effects of music on humanity, arguing that songs have largely shaped human evolution. When people sing together, he describes, their bodies release the hormone oxytocin, which promotes bonding: "Singing may have been an important way in which ancient humans formed social bonds in order to create societies." Given all the powerful ways in which music affects the mind, it could very well be a cornerstone of our existence.

Fractal Design Announced the Define R3 – the successor to the best selling Define R2. Now available with a bunch of improvements, including improved cable routing, air flow and bigger hole in M/B plate for mounting CPU coolers. The Define R3 case is reaching new heights in combining stylish, contemporary design with maximum functionality and noise absorbing features. The minimalistic, yet stunning front panel design, fitted with noise absorbing material on the inside, creates an aura of exclusivity. The patent pending feature ModuVent, in which you can choose whether to have side and top panels open or not, makes the case appealing for users seeking optimal silence, as well as the performance hungry ones. The sleek black interior is matched with pre-fitted, dense noise absorbing material on the side panels, efficiently absorbing noise and vibrations. You can fit an astonishing total of eight hard drives into this case, using the user friendly HDD-trays. All painted in a nice white color and using black silicone mounts. PSU is mounted in the bottom of the case, with a convenient pull-out filter beneath it. Are you one of those users always ending up with a case full of tangled cables? No more. The Define R3 offers a convenient and good looking way of hiding them away. The motherboard has rubber covered holes in which you can easily route the cables behind the motherboard. Improvements from R2: Improved air flow with updated fans Improved noise absorbing material Bigger hole in M/B plate for mounting of CPU Coolers Improved cable routing possibilities Reset button, located behind the front panel door Many small quality improvements, including improved scratch resistant coating Availiable colors: Pearl Black, Titanium Grey, Silver Arrow, and Arctic White. Key features: Stunning front panel design Patent pending ModuVent design, allowing the user to either have optimal silence or optimal airflow Pre-fitted with dense, noise absorbing material 8 white painted HDD-trays, with silicone mounting A total of 7 fan slots (2x120mm in front, 2x 120/140mm in top, 1x120mm in back, 1x 120/140mm in side panel, 1x 120/140mm in bottom) 2x 120mm Fractal Design 120mm fans included Fan controller for 3 fans included Easily removable front fan filters with clip-on holders for 120mm fans Supports graphic card lengths up to circa 290mm and CPU coolers with height of maximum circa 165mm Supports PSU's with a depth of maximum circa 170mm, when using bottom 120/140mm fan location. When not using the bottom 120/140mm fan location, the case supports also longer PSU's, typically 200-220mm. Specifications : 8x 3,5 inch HDD trays, compatible with SSD! 2x 5,25 inch bays, with 1x 5,25>3,5 inch converter included On top of front panel: 2x USB 2.0, 1x eSATA and Audio I/O No PSU included (removable filter below PSU) M/B compatibility: Mini ITX, Micro ATX and ATX 7x expansion slots with sleek white painted brackets Case size (WxHxD): 207.40x440x521.2mm Net weight: 12.50kg For more information, visit this page.
I really like when a company has simple, yet conclusive list of its products features. Few more pics:
I like the Sound Deafening feature, it kicks ass but too bad it only has 7 expansion slots. i would have if it has 9 or 10 slots
Actually they look nice... The only thing that I could comment is the drive cage - they should have made it in 2 parts - upper & lower. So if you have big hot GPU(s), you could remove the upper cage to free some air to the GPU(s)... and keep you HDD at bottom...
NCIXUS Fractal Design Define R3 Black ATX Mid Tower Silent Computer Case 2X5.25 8X3.5INT No PS Front USB $94.33 USD Savings Code 53537-1008. SAVE $9.43 off our regular price of $103.76 if you buy today! Special price ends 8/18/2010. Limit 1 per customer. They have about 10 on hand as of now.
will the front fans be able to breathe? that thick front panel wont let much air get to them, worsened by the fact that air doesnt travel in right angles that well. The concept is certainly better applied than how antec did it, but its odd that they've included top fans, when touting quietness as a feature. Its like the P180; a confused feature set.
Looks ncie, but not very different from the last one. I actually expected a nice full tower on the same design theme when I saw this thread.

NRO's The Corner Blog
December 8, 2011
by David Satter
The accusation by President Putin that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was inciting protests in Russia over the falsification in the recent elections foreshadows the future of U.S.-Russian relations.
The Putin system — the attempt to monopolize power in Russia without a totalitarian ideology or mass terror — was always unrealistic. With the deepening of official corruption, as the gangster capitalism under Yeltsin was succeeded by the complete degradation of the state apparatus under Putin, Russians have finally grown restless. Putin's hold on power is no longer secure. This means that he will rally support in the way that is traditional for Russia — by inventing a "threat" from the West.
The U.S. should expect a whole series of irrational new Russian arguments on missile defense. There will be more pious defenses of the importance of negotiations in dealing with Iran and Syria. Most of all, there will be angry denunciations of any attempt by the U.S. or other Western nations to defend human rights. And all of this will be accompanied by massive anti-Western propaganda in the controlled Russian media.
The Obama administration — including Mrs. Clinton — may continue to try to "reset" our relations with Russia under these circumstances but that is a Sisyphean labor. Russia needs a foreign enemy and the more we accommodate them, the more aggressive they will become.
