Syslink Project
From OMAPpedia
Last updated: June 23, 2010
[edit] About SysLink
SysLink is the next generation IPC driver developed for OMAP4 and beyond. SysLink is an evolution of both the previous-generation IPC drivers - DSPBridge and DSPLink. It provides a symmetric IPC interface on both the host processor and remote/slave processors. It is easily scalable to support more than 2 processors. SysLink provides features to control and communicate with slave processors enabling parallel processing for multimedia acceleration. SysLink integrates with D-OMX enabling MPU to offload some OMX components to slave processors.
Some of the key features of SysLink are:
- Messaging: Ability to exchange fixed size control messages with Co-Processors
- Dynamic memory management: Ability to dynamically map files to Co-Processor's address space
- Dynamic loading: Ability to dynamically load new components on Co-Processors at run time
- Power Management: Static and dynamic power management for DSP
- Zero-copy shared memory: Ability to "pass" data buffers to other processors by simply providing its location in shared memory.
- TILER-based memory allocation: Allocate 2-D buffers with mirroring and rotation options, suitable for video
- Remote function calls: One processor can invoke functions on a remote processor.
[edit] SysLink Architecture
The above diagram shows the components found in SysLink. The two processors shown have slightly different components because one plays the role of the host and one plays the role of the slave. The host thus needs to load a system image onto the slave processor (Loader), get it up and running (ProcMgr), handle the slave virtual memory mapping (IOMMU), etc.
The key component of SysLink is the Remote Command Messaging (RCM) module, which handles remote function calls. Using RCM, a host processor can take advantage of slave processors' multimedia acceleration functions. The host can request the slave to run audio or video processing functions on a data buffer. The host can then proceed to other tasks. By delegating this processing to the specialized remote processors, the system can support high-bandwidth audio and video playback without a performance impact on the core.
[edit] SysLink Usage
The above diagram illustrates the process by which an application on a host processor can execute a function on a slave processor. It is simplified and many details of the process are not shown.
- Application calls RCM client object on local processor to request execution of a remote function.
- RCM client object passes function request message to remote RCM server through local MessageQ.
- Local MessageQ puts message in remote MessageQ's list of received messages.
- Local MessageQ requests local Notify module to send notification to remote processor that a message has arrived.
- Local Notify module notifies remote Notify module.
- Remote Notify module tells Remote MessageQ object to check its list of received messages.
- Remote MessageQ object gives remote RCM server the function request message it received.
- Remote RCM Server calls remote function.
[edit] Getting Started with SysLink
NOTE: These instructions are to compile branch in kernel-syslink dev.omapzoom project.
The latest SysLink that is available on the kernel-syslink git tree along with the userspace files repository(recommended)
Before proceeding, check for the tools:
Set up a tool chain, the tool chain versions commonly used are Code Sourcery ARM Sourcery G++ 2009q1.
Set cross compile variable.
export CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-linux-gnueabi- export PATH varible to arm codesourcey cross compiler. export ARCH=arm
Be sure that you have the mkimage tool visible in the exported PATH, this is generated while compiling u-boot under u-boot/tools folder, you can clone u-boot repository from here.
[edit] Building Kernel Image with SysLink Driver Support (git tree approach)
Clone linux-syslink repository with the following command:
git clone git://dev.omapzoom.org/pub/scm/tisyslink/kernel-syslink.git
Checkout syslink_next branch. syslink_next branch is based on the cutting edge Kernel revision. This tree is based on kernel-omap4-base tree on dev.omapzoom.org, any porting to other kernels may require some fetch and merge.
The user-space Syslink has a dependency on Tiler tree, so make sure you fetch the Tiler changes from Tiler tree [1] before building the SysLink Kernel. If you don't care about working with the latest SysLink version then it is recommended to use the Integration kernel. The Integration kernel has all the dependent Multimedia drivers including Tiler driver [2]
cd kernel-syslink git checkout -b syslink_next --track origin/syslink_next
Configure your board.
make omap_my_board_defconfig
Select any desired kernel options
make menuconfig
Select from menuconfig the option to enable SysLink driver in the Device Drivers section as shown in the figures below:
SysLink driver options menu: Enable the selected SysLink modules.
Make the Kernel Image after saving your changes in menuconfig.
make uImage
At this point, you should have a uImage. At present building syslink as loadable kernel modules is not supported.
[edit] Build Userspace Files
[edit] Need to check for the following before using autotools
[edit] Tools Prequisites
- Autoconf version: 2.61 and above.
- Automake version: 1.9.6 and above.
- libtool version : 1.5.6 and above.
[edit] Set the following environment variables
export ARCH=arm export CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-linux-gnueabi-
Also, point your shell(sh) to bash. It is assumed that the references to sh in this README documents is actually pointing to /bin/bash
[edit] To enable DEBUG Option
You can enable the DEBUG option by uncommenting the following line in the build_directions.sh file.:
You can also enable the DEBUG option by entering:
./configure --enable-debug.
Note: please check for ./configure --help before running configure.
[edit] Steps to Build Syslink
- Clean build:
sh build_directions.sh --clean
- Normal Build:
sh build_directions.sh
- Enter the Prefix path, e.g.:
- Enter the Tiler-Userspace Path, where you cloned [3], e.g.:
- Enter the path to kernel-syslink, e.g.:
- Enter the Toolchain Path, e.g.:
- The libmemmgr.so is built and installed in $(PREFIX)/target/lib folder.
- The Syslink APIs, daemons and samples will be built and installed in $(PREFIX)/target/lib and $(PREFIX)/target/syslink folder, respectively.
[edit] Working with SysLink driver
[edit] Bootargs
Set the following bootargs when working with SysLink IPC.
Bootargs: Make sure to set "mem" option in bootargs 49M less than your total RAM size. Eg: For a 512M Ram size the mem option should be less than or equal to 463M. SysLink IPC is currently using this 49M for IPC purpose.
Boot your kernel, when you receive the console prompt:
[edit] Booting Ducati Cores
[edit] Booting using SysLink Daemon
syslink_daemon binary is used to load and initialize the Ducati Cores. The images to be be loaded on Ducati Cores should be mentioned as the argument to the syslink_daemon.out binary. The first argument is the image to be loaded on SYS-M3 (Core-0) and the second argument is the image to load on App-M3(Core-1)
./syslink_daemon.out </binaries/sysm_m3_image> </binaries/app_m3_image>
Full path to the images should be provided.
SysLink Daemon apart from loading images also starts MemMgr server.
The MemMgr server handles the Tiler requests coming from Co-processor. MemMgr server interfaces with the Tiler Driver through MemMgr library. Currently there is a design discussion with DOMX team to push move this MemMgr server to DOMX proxy component.
[edit] SysLink Samples
Coming soon ...
[edit] SysLink Driver Code
The latest SysLink source code exists on the dev.omapzoom Git Tree under drivers/dsp/syslink folder.
syslink_next branch holds the latest code
[edit] User space SysLink libraries and samples
[edit] Ducati/Tesla IPC Source Code
Ducati/Tesla IPC code is available on GIT Ducati code
[edit] Tools
CodeGen tools download
BIOS download
XDC download
[edit] SysLink User-space Project
The SysLink user-space project is located at sl_bios_ipc. SysLink related Documents along with BIOS sample images would be made available here.

I think I might want a 12" or larger to get a bit more oomph but really improved the sound of the stereo on our boat. My only mistake was not realizing I needed an Amp too to go with it!

Written By Alex, Miami, Fl on Tuesday, September 23, 2008 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I got to say I have owned a few boats in my time and on all of them I neglected to put a subwoofer. I really didn't think it would make much of a difference. But now that I have installed one, I can say that it's not a waste. It's far from it. The system on this boat sounds better than any system I have installed or have ever even heard on any other boat. The bass vibrations are deep and the sound quality is incredible. I would recommend any one installing a system on a boat to purchase this sub. 45 out of 45 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Unique and feminine, this ring can accompany you from morning to evening. Four sterling silver swirls with rope detail hold a deep blue kyanite gemstone in place atop the ring. The swirling design continues down the shank for a ring that is beautifully detailed from every angle. Both casual and elegant, the ring measures 1/2" wide. Made in America with gemstones from around the world.
The Windsong Collection captures the quiet strength of a springtime breeze. Crafted in sterling silver, these designs dance and swirl around the soft colors of a meadow in the form of prehnite, charoite, rhodochrosite, and kyanite cabochons.
Like all fine jewelry, Carolyn Pollack Sterling Silver Jewelry should be handled carefully. Store jewelry in a plastic bag, dry and wrapped in tissue paper, when not being worn or displayed. Clean sterling silver with a silver polishing cloth when necessary, but never subject to chlorine, silver dips, chemical solutions or ultrasonic cleaners, as these substances can cause the genuine gemstones to discolor. Never wear jewelry in a swimming pool.

Light to medium bodied wines with lots of juicy fruit, typically medium acid and medium oak.
Full bodied wines that have typically undergone malo-lactic fermentation and/or spent time in oak.
Rich and intense aromas of honey, apple pie, butterscotch and roasted hazelnuts are complimented with citrus notes of lemon blossom and lemon curd. This wine fills the mouth with rich texture, a round and creamy mid-palate is supported by that signature Sonoma-Cutrer clean, citrus-laced acidity that creates an excellent balance. Fruit flavors of baked apple, lemon curd, pear and melon are accented with a complimentary bit of toasty oak.
Located in the cool Sonoma Coast viticultural region, Sonoma-Cutrer vineyards was founded in 1973 by Brice Cutrer Jones.

Hi everyone,
I'm new to this forum.
My background:
I've been hiking for over a year now, and I have a list of peaks I'd like to bag. My three major peaks for 2013 are Mt Catawba/McAfee's Knob (May (DONE)), Washington (Summer), and a two-day backpack of the Devil's Path (October). I've done 10+ moderate-strenuous hikes with NYC-area meetups. I'm a physically capable hiker, but am still not 100% confident in my navigation skills. Next year's hikes include Katahdin, Marcy, Franconia Ridge, Clingman's Dome, and Mt. Mitchell.
My deal:
In May of this year, I went with an NYC-based hiking meetup to bag Mt Isolation & Mt Washington. By the time we reached Glen Boulder, we realized it was too hazardous to do Washington (personally, I enjoyed the wind gusts and crazy weather. Being above treeline in such conditions was, by far, the most fun/excitement I've ever had on the trail). Instead, we bagged Isolation and Davis. I was pretty disappointed, but understood the hike leader's decision to turn back.
My goal:
I'd like to summit Washington (via Tuckerman Ravine from Pinkham Notch) on either Saturday 9/7 or Sunday 9/8. I'd drive up Friday and car-camp into Saturday morning. I'd make the ascent on the day with better weather.
My Problem:
Since I'm at about 50% when it comes to navigation/map skills, I'm concerned about completing the hike alone. I'm not sure if the trails are well-marked. I'd like to start the hike crazy early, so we can enjoy some awesome views at the top.
My Question:
Does anyone want to join me?

The dollar was mixed in N.Y. trade on Wednesday, gaining ground against the euro, CHF and yen, while stumbling against the euro, and losing ground to the CAD following a not-so-dovish BoC policy statement. Talk of the ECB's plan to buy corporate bonds kept pressure on the euro, while USD-JPY held over 107 after U.S. CPI data, firmer Yields and a morning Wall Street Rally. Stocks later turned lowed, which took dollar-yen from its highs over 107.35, back ... Read More ►

Department of Emergency Management
The Island County Department of Emergency Management (DEM) works directly with the Washington State Emergency Management Division (EMD) and the State Homeland Security Region 1 which includes Island, San Juan, Whatcom, Skagit, and Snohomish Counties.
Hazard Mitigation
Island County Department of Emergency Management Hazard Mitigation website is now available at: http://www.islandcountyDEM.org
The DEM is responsible for emergency management within Island County to include planning and coordinating actions for the preparedness, mitigation, response, and recovery from natural and man-made emergencies and disasters. DEM provides hazard information, coordinates and provides emergency training for county residents and first responders. The DEM also operates the county Emergency Operations Center (EOC) when it is activated.
Are YOU Ready for Winter Weather?
Take Winter By Storm and get ready before the the winds blow and the snow flies! Don't let our normal relatively benign weather lull you into security. DEM has detailed emergency plans in place. But, you too need to take these steps to get ready:
Create an emergency preparedness kit with at least a three-day supply of non-perishable food and water for your home and office. Kits prepared for vehicle road travel and winter weather evacuation go-kits are also advised.
Make a plan and practice the plan with your family and those who depend on you.
Stay informed and know the weather approaching, so you are prepared for whatever Mother Nature throws our way.
Since we live in a rural area and cars are important, be sure to be prepared to camp out in your car. Check road conditions here and WADOT.
Use the tools on this page to help you get prepared. Share them with those you love (family, friends, neighbors, and community members) to help them get prepared, too.
Widespread flooding is more of a problem for Skagit County but it can disrupt routine resupply of Whidbey Island and the Stillaguamish can create problems for Camano Island. Water saturated soil will cause landslides. Be aware of the potential in your area. Local flooding from storm drains is likely and sand bags are available to purchase at Skagit Farmers Supply, Home Depot and other retailers. Power outages are to be expected, be prepared—PSE is prepared and you can report outages at 1-888-225-5773.
Ensure that your pets are adequately protected and that you can minister to them in an emergency.

Door Details
Yet when Jay Ackerman and his wife, Stacy Sibley, went in search of a "forever house" to raise their two growing sons—Brayden, 10, and Jonah, 4 —they dismissed this place as a rundown old pile. Despite its being the work of noted architect Arthur B. Benton, it was in disrepair and had been languishing on the market for years. Most evenings, Jay and Stacy would walk their dog past the house and speculate on what it was like inside. Their conclusion: "dark." And as much as Stacy loves Tudor architecture, Jay's antipathy to dimly lit spaces made it a no-go. Then one day, Stacy got an excited text from Jay, who was inside the house. "This is nothing like what you'd expect from the outside."

text: I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions about the factory strings and cables on my silencer. I ordered a new set of cables and a string according to the label on the bow. However, when I received the new set they were the right size according to the label on the bow but the factory set was just about 3/4" longer. Now the set I ordered is off. The serving does not completely go around the cams. Does the new string just need to stretch? I afraid of it being out of time. I put marks on the cams where they meet the limbs to make sure but with the new string puts those marks about 1/2" off. Help Please. Thank you.

Pirates of the Nether Regions
We are the Pirates of the Nether Regions and we are running the Underwear Affair to fight cancers below the waist.
Our goal started at $10,000 just a few short months ago, but continues to skyrocket higher as our team members make their personal goals higher.
Too many of us have been deepy effected by Cancer's below the waist; we've had mothers, brothers, fathers, sisters, grandparents, and countless friends contract these diseases.
I myself have lost my father to prostate cancer, and my mother just won her battle with advanced stage Ovarian cancer.
Cancer changes us all of us, It devastates our lives and hurts the people that we love the most. We have had enough.
Our team is varied, we range in age from 14 to 60+ and yet we are all going to gather together as a team on July 9th and run 10km or walk 5km in Pirate-themed Underwear to raise money a whole lot of money for Cancer Research!
A good majority of us have never run before, but we are not going to let that stop us!
Friends of friends, and strangers alike, join us and run the 10km or walk the 5km in your pirate best
Join Captain Kate, Pirate's Booty, a Mermaid, a Parrot.... and any other creative costumes you can come up with!
Run with us, or Donate today to support the Pirates of the Nether Regions!
With all my heart I thank you for your participation in running and/or donating!
--Kate Robinson (team captain)
Thank you to everyone who has helped us in our efforts in Fundraising:

Support Pirates of the Nether Regions!
Welcome to our Underwear Affair Team Page!We're psyched to be participating in the Underwear Affair as a group because we all want to raise a lot of money to fight cancers like prostate, colon, and ovarian, among others. BC Cancer Foundation's Underwear Affair®, is a 10K Run / 5K Walk to uncover cures for cancers below the waist. We'll be the team dressed in costume among thousands of other people gathered on the streets of Vancouver for one great night this summer. It will be the biggest Affair this town has ever seen!It's about giving these devastating cancers some exposure and shedding some light on their cures. So please help us in our efforts to raise money for care and research for cancers "down there!" What can you do about it? Don't be shy - you can either donate to one of us, or you can join us!

Taylor Phinney of the BMC Racing Team conceded the lead Thursday at the Eneco Tour of Benelux while teammate Greg Van Avermaet finished 10th on the stage to move into 11th place overall.
Van Avermaet Boxed In
Phillipe Gilbert (Omega Pharma-Lotto) attacked on the penultimate climb of the 191.2 kilometer race and soloed to the stage win and into the overall lead. Van Avermaet was part of a small group that rolled in nine seconds later, while Phinney conceded 35 seconds, finished 21st and slid to eighth overall. "I was a bit boxed in when Gilbert went," Van Avermaet said. "My legs felt OK, but I think there was one man stronger than all the rest today." Van Avermaet is 36 seconds behind Gilbert heading into Friday's 14.7 km individual time trial.
Opportunity For Phinney
Phinney said hasn't lost confidence after slipping out of the leader's jersey for the first time since winning Monday's prologue. "I'm definitely confident in my time trial ability," the reigning Under 23 world time trial champion said. "It was disappointing to lose my lead, but the team did a good job looking after me. When it came down to crunch time, I just didn't have it. But I definitely feel like I can take time back. I'm really motivated to win the stage tomorrow."

Beautifully Organized: Home Libraries
I think my ideal living space is part greenhouse and part library. To get the look of the latter you don't have to have a wheeled ladder — just orderly bookshelves.
A well organized collection of books (and even some no-maintenance trompe l'oeil wallpaper, Image 8) can look good in any room. Done right, even your stairways can be book repositories (Image 9), and your bookshelves can double as room dividers (Image 7). Try going tall to add drama and maximize space, and for an extra punch consider dressing up the shelves with paint or paper.

Uhm... I do believe that in pic no. 8 those aren't books. It's wallpaper with a book print on it.
^ it says that in the second paragraph.
Any resources for building bookshelves in a rental? I love the built in look of photo 4... Do I need to be an expert carpenter to create something like that?
#2 is my favorite hands down. There is something about a library with a wheeled ladder.....
The wallpaper is pretty but I don't think it belongs in a library roundup.
KateDi, check out the DIY network. They show the guy making the cuts himself but anyplace you buy lumber will do the cuts for you. All you need to do is plan out the cuts before you go. If you search out some DIY projects, many will describe the cuts so you can get an idea how they do it.If you want to get really fancy you can invest in a miter box so you can angle the corners. I have done this for a bath ladder I am building and it makes is look for professional.
love #2
I just got a Kindle for Christmas and between it and my strong feelings for the library, our physical book accumulation is going to slow down a lot. I feel a little bad about it, but not terribly. I imagine our graphic novel collection will still build, but I really enjoy reading books on my Kindle.
Nothing beats a library with a chandelier in it! Love the look.
I love the gentle slope of the books on the top shelf of number 7. Something so simple, yet I was immediately drawn to it.
Hmm this post made me realize that I don't like the look of books arranged in rainbow order...clothes yes, books no.
KatieDi, we bought Ikea Billy bookshelves with glass doors and we've been really happy with them. They are good-looking and keep our books free of dust. We used an entire wall of our living room for them.
Agreed. It bothers my inner librarian so much...
Hi Kate! We were looking for building a custom library in a rental as well. After considering all the options, we settled on Ikea if you can believe it. We went for the white Billy bookcases with glass doors and filled a room. I would imagine you could build the piece over the doorway with a bit of creativity. What's great is when we move, we plan to reuse these bookshelves in an alternate way but actually build the built-ins of our dream.
I feel the same way. Ive seen some thats are really pretty but I just cant do it my own home...too staged.
I used shelves from ikea.
these pics are really inspiring!

Several weeks ago, I had a decent stretch of time off from work – simply because that was the way my schedule ended up. In a span of seven days, Tim and I spent five of them immersed in the wilderness. It was awesome. If you didn't catch Part I, you can read all about it here!
I'm quite fond of backpacking trips that lead out of the trees and into a world dotted with alpine lakes, wildflower meadows, and grand views of snow-capped peaks. We have a few favorite trails, one of them being the Broken Top Loop near Sisters, OR. We hiked this 25-mile gem two years ago and knew we would make it a point to return again.
Sadly, during the year between our first and second visit, a wildfire damaged a generous portion of the trail (4-5 miles or so). The area is still beautiful, but wow, what a transformation of landscape! Charred tree trunks, dusty black ash underfoot, not much greenery, and no shelter from the sweltering summer sun.
This time around, we took less photographs, but I think we still captured the beauty. And, we had a Tasty Bite meal to review. Easy dinners are always appreciated after climbing for 8 miles!
We camped close to a mountain lake on our first night – the perfect place to splash around in icy water and cool off. We had the company of dozens of squawky Clark's Nutcrackers. They are noisy and hilarious. Tim recorded them and you can listen here and here! I loved hearing their sharp beaks peck away at pinecones.
After relaxing and rehydrating, we whipped up dinner: a pouch of Tasty Bite's Ginger Lentil Rice plus some kale and vacuum-packed tofu we brought from home. Gourmet, right?! It was filling and very flavorful. We marveled at how we could detect all the fresh spices and ingredients.
I would absolutely make this meal again. Dry rice takes too much time to cook when backpacking so this was a special treat. Tasty Bite provides lots of nourishment in a small pouch, and enough food to feed two hungry (HUNGRY) vegans.
As you can see, Tim is a fan of smiling for the camera. We hope to get several more backpacking trips in before the weather turns wet and cold. We have a few months still so it should be easy!
See ya next time!

BLOG: Speed Limiters Give Drivers an Advantage
With all of the recent events concerning the speed limiter law here in Ontario, I felt I had to jump into the argument and give my opinion from a professional driver point of view. Some of you might ask what makes me a professional. Yes, I do not do the 3000 miles a week, but I do 2100 miles a week. I am a former OTA/ Volvo Driver of the Year, former OTA Road Knight, and have logged over 3,000,000 miles of accident free driving during my career.
And I've heard it before: a Road Knight is nothing but a trained mouth piece for the OTA. But I had my own opinion on the speed limiter issue long before I became a Road Knight and got more involved with the industry. I have worked for only three companies during my career and every one of them had a speed limiter set on their equipment. That's going back almost 25 years.
As a professional driver, I know my equipment and when I can push the speed issue to my advantage. You have to think ahead when you are about to pass another truck. If you feel you cannot do it on a straight away, do it on a hill. Being a professional is not only about having the licence, it's about having all the experience from all those thousands of kilometres out on the road.
I have seen the facts both presented by the OTA as well as industry specs and maintenance / safety records from quite a few companies. The numbers don't lie. Speed is a factor in most accidents occurring on our highways today. The whole idea of the law is simple. Slower trucks can lead to fewer accidents, less fuel used by your equipment, as well as less stress on a driver. That is why we have a speed limit for any vehicle traveling on a public roadway.
I'm sorry; I do not buy the argument that having the speed limit on a truck set at 105 km/h can lead to an accident. I read the mainstream press, as well as industry trade publications, and I have not seen an accident that was directly related to a speed limiter.
Yes, I admit sometimes it is nice being able to pass another truck with ease as we did a few years ago before the speed limiter rule came into effect. But I also admit I do like the advantage the speed limiter rules have given drivers. What advantage?
The advantage is time. Drivers can only be pushed as fast as the speed limiter rule can allow, 105Km/h. Now the issue that I see with drivers on Ontario's highway is simple: why are we not all following the rules?
Last month, during my normal run to south western Ontario, I was travelling up the Niagara Escarpment hill in Milton, ON. (This is not the long grade like in western Canada but it can slow down most tractor trailers.) I was travelling in the passing lane for truck as I was trying to pass a waste hauler from Cam Hitlz Trucking. No big deal, I was doing my 105Km/h and he was travelling at a slower speed with his four way flashers on in the slow lane. My trailer was halfway past his tractor when I saw headlights flashing. I looked back and it was not the waste hauler flashing me; it was a very impatient gravel hauler driver behind me.
I was in the left lane to pass a slower vehicle that was in the right lane. At my 105km/h limit, I was quite able to pass the other truck. The driver that was behind me could not wait the three minutes it was going to take for me to pass; he had to pull out into the passing lane for cars (otherwise called the "center lane against the wall") and I was passed like I was standing still.
Then, before he had fully passed me, he decides to change lanes in front of me only to exit the highway at the very next exit.
I do not see where my speed limit would have been the factor if there was an accident. The driver who was so eager to pass the two of us would have been at fault. Why? His speed would have been the main factor.
(On a side note, I would love to know when gravel hauling become a just in time system.)
The point I am trying to make here is if all commercial vehicles are supposed to run at 105 km/h, why aren't they? The stress level could come right down if drivers realized the advantage of following the rules. And do I even have to go into the fuel savings? The numbers are there and they don't lie.
Shippers need to realize the travel time between cities here in Ontario. Don't expect the load that is picked up in Windsor to make Toronto in three hours. At 105, it takes four hours. Don't rush when safety is an issue.
Remember drive safe and keep it between the lines.

//SOAP(sketch)///VDO-BROS(sketch)//Dream Drunk(music)///
2011 was a great year for rap. You might have noticed all kinds of new and diverse hip-hop artists popping up this year releasing mixtape after mixtape that turned YouTube views into real money. But you probably didn't notice that many of these artists weren't just after your ears- they wanna fuck your whole face. In the past rappers have gotten head, brains, and dome but now they're fucking faces.
These are the top 5 artists of 2011 you need to know -who are out to fuck your face.
Danny Brown - Monopoly @ 2:30
Danny Brown may have a silly haircut but he takes fucking faces very seriously. You can hear how pissed he is to have to partake in such extreme forms of oral sex.
Tyler, The Creator - Burgers @ 1:43
Basically Tyler, The Creator is crediting his success to kids in london who needed a soundtrack to fighting and facefucking (maybe facefucking will become a hypermacho form of fighting in some Mad Max Hardcore-style distopian future)
The Weeknd - Loft Music @ 1:49
Its safe to assume that The Weeknd is always on drugs and horny. Plus he hangs out in clubs so cool that everyone just fucks each others faces. So stop being a narc and getting so weird about it, alright!
Lil B - Pretty Boy @ 3:18
Lil B says he's gonna "Fuck her face like her husband"- Isn't that sweet… I think. I like to imagine Lil B up in his bedroom, while his mom is cooking dinner, just recording that 4 minutes of "Woo Woo Woo Woo" over and over again.
Mr. Muthafuckin eXquire - The Last Huzzah @ 4:44
Technically, this is "Skull-fucking", but judging by the size of Mr. Muthafuckin eXquire's gut it's safe to assume if he face fucked anyone it'll end up being as frightening as the term "skull-fucking" anyway.
As it turns out, regardless of "face-fucking" references, these are just some good songs to listen to so be glad you did.
Also that Lil B song came out in 2009 but it's still on the list-so message me if you know an alternative.
And because it seems appropriate:

A breast positron emission tomography (PET) scan is an imaging test that uses a radioactive substance (called a tracer) to look for breast cancer. This tracer can help identify areas of cancer that an MRI or CT scan may miss.
See also: PET scan
Breast positron emission tomography; PET - breast; PET - tumor imaging - breast
A PET scan requires a small amount of radioactive material (tracer). This tracer is given through a vein (IV), usually on the inside of your elbow. It travels through your blood and collects in organs and tissues. The tracer helps the radiologist see certain areas or diseases more clearly.
You will need to wait nearby as the tracer is absorbed by your body. This usually takes about 1 hour.
Then, you will lie on a narrow table, which slides into a large tunnel-shaped scanner. The PET scanner detects signals from the tracer. A computer changes the results into 3-D pictures. The images are displayed on a monitor for your doctor to read.
You must lie still during test. Too much movement can blur images and cause errors.
How long the test takes depends on what part of the body is being scanned.
The test takes about 90 minutes.
You may be asked not to eat anything for 4 - 6 hours before the scan. You will be able to drink water.
Tell your health care provider if:
Always tell your health care provider about the medicines you are taking, including those bought without a prescription. Sometimes, medications may interfere with the test results.
You may feel a sharp sting when the needle containing the tracer is placed into your vein.
A PET scan causes no pain. The table may be hard or cold, but you can request a blanket or pillow.
An intercom in the room allows you to speak to someone at any time.
There is no recovery time, unless you were given a medicine to relax.
A PET scan is most often used when other tests, such as MRI scan or CT scan, do not provide enough information.
A breast PET scan is used only after a woman has been diagnosed with breast cancer. It is done to see if the cancer has spread to other parts of the body such as lymph nodes, liver, lung or bones.
If you have breast cancer, your doctor may order this scan:
A PET scan is not used to screen for, or diagnose, breast cancer.
A normal result means there are no areas outside the breast in which the radiotracer has abnormally collected. This result most likely means the breast cancer has not spread to other parts of the body.
Very small areas of breast cancer may not show up on a PET scan.
Abnormal results may mean that breast cancer that has spread.
The amount of radiation used in a PET scan is low. It is about the same amount of radiation as in most CT scans. Also, the radiation doesn't last for very long in your body.
Women who are pregnant or are breastfeeding should let their doctor know before having this test. Infants and babies developing in the womb are more sensitive to the effects of radiation because their organs are still growing.
It is possible, although very unlikely, to have an allergic reaction to the radioactive substance. Some people have pain, redness, or swelling at the injection site.
It is possible to have false results on a PET scan. Blood sugar or insulin levels may affect the test results in people with diabetes.
Most PET scans are now performed along with a CT scan. This combination scan is called a PET/CT.

Elliott gift to UM-Dearborn School of Management will support the School's "strong commitment to academic excellence"
December 19, 2008
DEARBORN / Dec. 19, 2008---Ed Elliott says he has used the lessons he learned as a student at the University of Michigan-Dearborn School of Management as the litmus test for all the decisions in his professional life.
Those lessons must have been very good ones. Since graduating with a bachelors degree in business administration in 1967, Elliott has enjoyed a long and successful professional career, and is now a principal of an international investment group based in Chicago.
Out of gratitude for the preparation he received at UM-Dearborns School of Management, Elliott has made a $2 million pledge to support the Schools strong commitment to academic excellence.
Ed Elliotts gift will provide us a most valuable source of funding to direct toward key initiatives and opportunities to advance academic excellence, according to School of Management Dean Kim Schatzel. His gift supports our important efforts to attract, retain, and develop great faculty, develop and deliver academically rigorous and highly relevant business degree programs, and produce high quality research that is important to business.
A portion of the gift has been designated to endow a chaired professorship in memory of his late wife, Betty F. Elliott. Ed and Betty Elliott met as students at UM-Dearborn and they climbed the career ladder together in very successful careers. Betty Elliott died in 2002.
Ed Elliott began his career with the international accounting and consulting firm of Touche Ross & Co, now Deloitte, in Detroit and worked there for more than 20 years. In 1984, he resigned his partnership with the firm to become a principal of the investment group in Chicago.
The gift is the largest ever to the UM-Dearborn School of Management as well as the largest ever from an alumnus of the campus. Elliott also has been a devoted supporter of the school in other ways, most recently serving as a member of the Chancellors Campaign Council.
Ed Elliott's gift signals his tremendous confidence in our faculty, administration and staff, and most important, in the School of Managements future, Schatzel said. The support of highly successful alumni like Ed Elliott endorses that we have much to be proud of and that our valuable alumni are deeply committed to the School and its future successes.

The BMC Racing Team endured bitterly cold and wet conditions Thursday at Giro del Friuli as former world champion Cadel Evans got his season underway.
Not Many Finishers
Riding through sleet and snow for much of the 187 kilometers, the BMC Racing Team worked to close a three-minute gap to a breakaway group of 31. "Cadel sacrificed himself for a good lap and half and brought it to 25 seconds," BMC Racing Team Assistant Director Max Sciandri said. "That's the moment where we should have closed it right there." Jose Serpa (Androni-Giocattoli) took the win while BMC Racing Team's Mauro Santambrogio was among only 25 finishers.
