MeeGo TV 1.2.2
MeeGo TV 1.2.2 was released and after a few kinks were ironed out, it is now available to play with! It is based on PR27 and is the first MeeGo TV release that people can actually get a hold of and rebuild themselves! It's actually fairly easy, I'll go over the broad howto here and suggest where you can go to get more help.
Changelog for Cocom MeeGo 1.2.2 image:
- Support for Cocom Churchill & Thatcher NEC remote control out of the box with meego-tv-ir
- Tri tuner support on Thatcher/Cameron (CE42xx/CE53xx)
- 'dodgy' codecs from gst-plugins-{bad,ugly} for AC3 and DTS
- gst-timeshifting plugin
Where can I get an image?
On the Cocom shop go to the 'support' area, there is a prebuilt image created using fakeOBS/obslight. I will explain how to recreate this image.
Making an Image
Tools required:
- Vmware/Virtualbox or something similar (I used Vmware workstation) on a X86 PC with SSSE3. You'll want something more powerful than an atom box
- OBS light server VM (from here)
- OBS light client VM (from here)
- fakeobs OSS tarball (from tizen.fridu.net - link here)
- fakeobs Restricted tarball (must be aquired from Cocom support site or your Intel support rep - if you have access to a PR release you should be able to get this)
- Kickstart file for a MeeGo TV image. I recommend you start with this.
Importing the fakeobs tarballs into your OBS VM
Start the OBS server VM, check DNS is working, it's simpler if you can just keep it named obslightserver (The password is 'opensuse'). Login as root and go to https://obslightserver, check everything is working + happy. You may need to restart apache2 and/or mysql. Also create yourself an account with the 'Register' link. Either download the fakeobs tarballs using wget or copy them across/use nfs. Your restricted tarball name/exact content may differ depending on where you got it!
obslight-fakeobs import MeeGoTV_1.2.2_oss-1.2.2.tar.gz
obslight-fakeobs import Cocom_pr27_restricted-1.2.2.tar.gz
You'll need to fix up a .oscrc configuration like so and drop it in ~
aliases = local
user = myusername
pass = mypasswd
Once all that is done, make sure you can see all the packages using the following:
osc -A local ls fakeobs:MeeGoTV:1.2.2:oss
osc -A local ls fakeobs:Cocom_pr27_restricted
You should see all the packages imported on fakebs via a link on the OBS running on the VM.
Using MIC to create the image
Start the OBSlight client VM, it has a gui but it's alot easier to explain the CLI here. There's plenty of doc here. Login as tux (password opensuse again).
sudo mic cr loop meego_1.2.2_madeo.ks --arch=i686
Then in mic-output/ you will find your image. I recommend you format your drive like this:
/dev/sdx1 - 100MB - ext2 (use mkfs.ext2 -I 128 to make sure redboot can boot using it)
/dev/sdx2 - 2GB+ - ext3
Then to write the image do something like this:
sudo mkdir /mnt/image /mnt/slash /mnt/boot
sudo mount -o loop meego_1.2.2_madeo.img /mnt/image
sudo mount /dev/sdx2 /mnt/slash
sudo mount /dev/sdx1 /mnt/boot
sudo cp -a /mnt/image/* /mnt/slash
sudo cp -a /mnt/image/boot/* /mnt/boot/
then copy accross /boot/* to /dev/sdx1 and /* using cp -a to /dev/sdx2.
If you're feeling clever make a /dev/sdx3 partition to put media on so you don't have to keep copying files across!
Booting it up
You'll need to configure redboot on your CE board to make it work. Check the exact details of the configuration with your platform vendor. My ks creates a symlink from the kernel to vmlinuz so you can just use the following as line 1 of your config.
load -v -r -m disk -b 0x200000 hda1:vmlinuz
Line 2 will differ depending on your platform, but on a Thatcher 277 (Groveland CE4200 with 2GB ram) I use:
exec -b 0x200000 -l 0x400000 -c "console=ttyS0,115200 root=/dev/sda2 rw memmap=exactmap memmap=128K@128K memmap=615M@1M vmalloc=586M"
Going Further
Hopefully you have an image booting and everything works as expected. If not ask on the meego-tv mailing list.

MOW - mother of Daughter's best friend. 15 years younger than WH
Discovery Day - July 1, 2009
Now: I dropped 50lbs in the first year after DD. I have maintained the weight loss for two yaers. I have younger women asking me out and hitting on me. I have more "real" friends than I have ever had. I have an open calender and get to do a lot of fun things. My daughter lives with me. I don't miss my farm and enjoy my life. OM gained at least 30lbs. His farm lost 100K last year. He got WW knocked up and had shot gun wedding. They can't afford a decent car. XW used to drive new Ram PU(mine). Now a 92 sentra that smells like crap. His drinking has gotten worse. His extended family has fallen away from one another. Best part; he is married to another man's wife (mine). She is miserable and in the back of his mind he knows he can't trust her. They have built a castle in the sand and the tide is rising.
The measure of a person is not based upon the words that they speak, but upon the choices that they make- {Borrowed from lieshurt}
Welcome. If you start your own thread in JFO you will get the support you need.
Just go down to the bottom of the page and click "post new topic"
It does sound like your husband really affaired down, but that doesn't make it any easier.
Sounds like he is willing to do things to help you recover. That is good. But it will still take a long time to get over his betrayal.
Does he give you are reason he thought it was okay to betray his vows and take a chance on losing his family?
I haven't read all the posts and the different perceptives on this on this posts, so forgive me if I say I am not sure I agree wholeheartedly with this concept. Affairing down maybe in respect to actions that there is not excuse for in breaking vows, devastating others lives, etc. but physical appearance and other qualities? Not sure I can say that.
Married:8 years
EA:May 07-PA:July 07 (w/co-worker)
My PA DDay was just yesterday. This describes Skankopotamus to a T. Going to send it or read it to WH. He has already told me some of those things.
I'm 100% positive he did affair down but that's my situation only. I would tend to agree that not all do.
I went to college - she dropped out of High School.
I work for Government - she works evenings cooking fries in a roadside "Shack"
She can barely speak any language that STBXWH speaks...maybe when that improves and she can make out what he is saying she will understand what a load of junk he talks...
We must let go of the life we have planned, so as to accept the one that is waiting for us.
It's true, maybe ones own WS doesn't always affair down... but SOMEBODY usually does. The him or the her in the relationship is willing to trash another person's life for their own "benefit"...
While we each truly do have to seek a life we can be happy in, when a person can knowingly, willingly, deliberately hurt someone they once "loved"... and have an affair; continue an affair; choose an affair...
They are affairing THEMSELVES DOWN.
There are exceptions, of course. Some affair couples may build an admirable life together, but I would tend to think they were wronged long before they were attracted to anyone else.
In the end, the true nature of each individual will come out, for better or for worse.
I struggle because I do not know any of the OW. I don't know how I 'stack' up in the looks department or personality department or career success department. I can only imagine--and, of course, I am thinking Cindy Crawford-Meg Whitman hybrid here...but all the external really doesn't matter. If these women were low enough to do it with a married man, I AM BETTER. No matter how much I weigh or how many wrinkles I have.

This Member Monday, we are excited to introduce one of our international photographers, Elisabeth Perotin of Elisabeth Perotin Photographie. Elisabeth is a French photographer from Reims, near the romantic city of Paris. We love that not only are our Two Bright Lights members talented, but they can also be found all over the world, spreading the beauty of photography across the globe!
Elisabeth Perotin
Elisabeth Perotin discovered her passion for photography when she was 14, thanks to her uncle. To feed her newfound passion, she began working as a photographer for the local newspaper. However, she ended up working in graphic design until one fateful day 3 years ago when she was inspired once more to pursue her love for photography. She was preparing for her own wedding when she randomly came across the work of an American photographer on the internet and immediately fell in love with the photographer's natural way of shooting weddings, called "Lifestyle Photography". She couldn't ignore the passion inside of her much longer and she decided to change her job to become a wedding photographer. Elisabeth began 2 years ago and does not regret her choice; she's the happiest woman in the world now. It's a real pleasure for her to experience such a beautiful day with the couples she meets and to capture their emotions. Her dream now is to shoot a wedding in the United States, the country that made her want to become a wedding photographer.
Elisabeth Perotin Photographie
Elisabeth told us of this wedding she photographed, "I love to shoot retro-boheme styled weddings, and this wedding was probably the one that most closely resembled what I would dream of for myself. The bride Aurélie wore a wonderful 20′s style dress made by "Lili M", a very talented designer from Reims, France and an absolutely beautiful bouquet of peonies. She also wore amazing shoes created by Vivienne Westwood. Aurélie created everything herself, which is why this wedding was so unique. Aurélie and her groom, Sylvain, made an awesome couple and it was a real pleasure to photograph them!"
Thanks to Elisabeth Perotin for sharing her lovely story and photography with us! For more information on Elisabeth, make sure to visit her website and blog!

Sounds like you have a short. But it would be hard to tell exactly where. I would take it to an automotive shop that specializes in the electrical system. They are usually alot cheaper than the dealer is.

Conference condemns shambolic remploy treatment
Delegates at the annual SNP Conference in Perth have today (Sunday) demanded action from Westminster to save the Remploy factories that are facing closure as a result of the UK Government's decision to withdraw funding.
A 2009 survey by the GMB – following the last round of Remploy closures - found that only 26% of those who had lost their jobs had found another job, and only 5% of those were better paid than in their Remploy positions.
Remploy factories play a vital role in empowering the disabled employees who work at them, yet workers at Remploy now face the horrendous prospect of losing their jobs at a time when Westminster is making a systematic attack on welfare provision.
Speaking after SNP Conference passed a resolution condemning the appalling treatment of Remploy's staff across Scotland and the UK Government's shambolic handling of the bidding process, Glasgow SNP MSP Bob Doris said:
"The top priority of the Westminster Government when it comes to the workers at Remploy should have been ensuring that they remain in employment, with their terms and conditions fully protected.
"My experience with the factory in Springburn convinces me that they have failed to look after the workers in both of these respects, through their own utter incompetence.
"In contrast to the complete lack of support that Westminster is providing to disabled people, the SNP Government has taken important steps like encouraging the use of public procurement to help support the important work of social enterprises.
"The treatment of Remploy workers has been shambolic and comes at the same time that the UK Government is carrying out a widespread attack on the welfare provision available to disabled people more generally.
"It's no wonder that confidence in this process – and in the Westminster Government more generally – is at rock bottom."

Helping Ex-cons Find Work
December 13, 2007
Brad's post below on the re-entry of newly released prisoners into mainstream society touches on an important issue that was a subject of much discussion at a fascinating Brookings Institution panel yesterday on facilitating and rewarding work (see here for their solid policy recommendations). Bruce Western, a sociologist whose work focuses on the social effects of incarceration, gave a talk in which he recommended, as Brad does, that states adopt incentives for employers to hire newly released prisoners. The panel discussion following Dr.
Violence In Iraq, Algeria, Lebanon...blame Israel!
December 13, 2007
Four decades ago Alastair Horne wrote a book on the Algerian Civil War. The volume is called Savage War for Peace. It has recently been republished with a new and telling preface by its author, now Sir Alastair. The Algerian rebels were not in any substantial sense then fighting for Islam, although of course they were fighting against the French. The FLN (National Liberation Front) understood that it could not engage the French army and its many Algerian soldiers and supporters (Algeria was, after all, a regular departement de la patrie). So it initiated an irregular war against the civil
No More 'war Room'; Huckabee Hates Energy
December 12, 2007
Somebody Tell Howard Wolfson [Tom Maguire, Just One Minute]: "Enough with the 'war room' metaphor. It was cute in 1992 when the Cold War was over and the messenger was baby-faced George Stephanopoulos but this is 2007 and we are a nation truly at war, a point your team would do well to remember." The Not-So-Clever Futures Markets [Brendan Nyhan]: "Have the odds of Obama winning the race actually increased by nine percentage points in the last seven days?
Cuban: Tax Me!
December 11, 2007
Warren Buffett isn't the only highly successful, fabulously wealthy entrepreneur who wants a more progressive tax code. So does outspoken blogger (and Dallas Mavericks owner) Mark Cuban: It makes absolutely no sense that [Buffett], or I should pay a smaller percentage of our income than those who go to work 8 hours a day and have to save as much as they can to afford a vacation every year and stress out about whether or not they can pay their rent, mortgage or college for their kids.
Wanted: A Torture Commission. (without James Baker.)
December 11, 2007
Torture is a repugnant practice, and especially so if it becomes a habit. It may have become that, although I don't know. No one outside the alleged practitioners does. But, believe me, I'm not trying to shrug the matter off. Andrew Sullivan has persuaded me of its centrality to a humane society.Still, we would be better off as a society if we had clarity on what is and is not torture, and then put it under the interdict of "cruel and unusual practice." Here the constitutional originalists have no standard to which to cling. This would have to be a joint enterprise of judicial figures, d
So Why The Cape Wind Holdup?
December 11, 2007
According to a dispatch from Bali in Monday's FT, the U.S. and U.K. have filed with the World Trade Organization a list of environmentally friendly products--in particular, wind turbines--that they ask be tariff-free. Funny, isn't it? Because in New England the federal bureaucracy has done everything possible to prevent Cape Wind from a wind farm in Cape Cod Bay.
Economists Prove What You Already Know!

Torture Works? Ban It
December 11, 2007
Brad's post below highlights the disagreement over the extent to which torture (specifically waterboarding) was useful in extracting valuable information from Al Qaeda operative Abu Zubaydah. But it's worth pointing out that even if former CIA agent John Kiriakou is right when he maintains that torture was helpful, this isn't a very good argument against the bill working its way through Congress that would ban such interrogation techniques. Kiriakou, in voicing his opposition to torture, describes the incident as "an ugly little episode that was perhaps necessary at that time.
Another Durban Conference: A Political And Moral Disaster
December 10, 2007
The whole idea of Durban 2 is a nightmare come true. A conference against racism became almost wholly a conference against Zionism and the Jewish State. The Ford Foundation finally repented its financial support for the sewer which the project had become.Now there's an appropriation before the United Nations to appropriate money for a second conference which, if the activities of the U.N. Human Rights Council is any precedent, will be another jamboree of hatred towards Israel. Apparently U.S.

Parents are pretty old and kind of weird. But even now, most of us still tell them what's going on in our lives and listen to what they have to say. Today, however, technology has afforded us many different ways to communicate with our parents. A few centuries ago, a pen and paper were Dartmouth students' only means of communicating with dear old mom and pop while they were away at college.
Surpraisingly enough, apart from the heavily stylized cursive hand, a written correspondence dated from 1857 between Dartmouth alumnus Chase Presacott Parsons and his mother which is now a part of the College's special collections in Rauner Library is actually not incredibly different from a daily or weekly Skype calls today.
In his letter, Parsons relates an encounter he had with an old friend named Joseph in Bennington, Vt. As is to be expected, much of what Chase conveys is rather mundane. In Chase's letter, he writes that Joseph said he enjoyed "the most healthy time he has a known" with Chase (his insistence on euphemism is endearing), and Chase sees it prudent to comment on Joseph's finances. Apparently, Joseph had done quite well for himself, having amassed over $400 in the month of August alone. But in a salute to Parsons' epistolary style, he manages to terminate a decidedly uninteresting letter with unimaginable abruptness. "I have no more time, so I must close," Chase wrote.
So even back then, Dartmouth inculcated a culture of all-nighters and tactlessness among its students. Good to know.
A few decades later, Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Richard Eberhart '25 wrote a series of letters to his father (typed, fortunately for me), which are now kept on file in Rauner. On Jan. 25, 1925, Eberhart recounts his exams to his father. However, in true Dartmouth spirit, he proves himself to be somewhat more interested in Winter Carnival.
"I wired Claire Childs, but she can't come," Eberhart wrote. "It looks like I would be a stag."
Poor Dick. I guess he will have to be satisfied with the straight-A he expects to get in his Chaucer class.
After exams, Richard said he "loafed for five days, skiing and sleeping." While Richard took in the New England winter scenery, however, members of Alpha Delta Phi fraternity (now known as Alpha Delta) were preparing to leave for Montreal "for the weekend, the main attraction being to imbibe of spirits." Richard wasn't particularly enthused.
Of course, it would be a grave injustice to discuss Dartmouth's history without so much as a mention of Dr. Seuss. In the parlance of our times, Theodor Geisel '25 would best be characterized as a troll. He was a classmate of Richard Eberhart, though Geisel was much more of a brash populist than the poet laureate he is known as today.
When his father inquired, "What are you going to do after you graduate?" Geisel simply proposed that he would "win a thing called the Campbell Fellowship in English Literature" and go to Oxford University. His father, in his haste, misread the letter and informed the local newspaper that his son was definitively going to Oxford. As fate would have it, Geisel was ultimately not awarded the fellowship. To save face, his father did send him to Oxford… at full expense.
Our parents have been consciously aware of our existence longer than we have, so they often attempt to cleverly insinuate that they have insights on our own lives that we do not. This is probably true to some degree. Whatever the case may be, this dynamic fosters extreme intimacy in our conversations with our parents. These records of communication afford us a channel into the minds of these Dartmouth alumni, and they provide a valuable window through which to understand their life and times.

SFA Offense Lifts `Jacks Over UCA in Series Finale
May 13, 2012
NACOGDOCHES, Texas - The Stephen F. Austin Lumberjack baseball team saw homers from Max Lamantia and Bobby Loveless to cap a 10-7 win and take the series over Central Arkansas Sunday afternoon in the conference series finale at Jaycees Field on Mother's Day.
Alex Moshier (5-0) picked up his fifth win in relief, tossing the final two and two-thirds innings. The Nederland native did not allow a base runner in eight batters faced.
SFA (21-30, 14-16 SLC) outhit UCA (23-26, 15-15 SLC) 12-11 in the finale. The `Jacks offense saw five different players finish with a pair of hits, highlighted by Lamantia and Loveless. The duo finished with seven of the ten SFA RBI in the game. Rory Myers and Freddy Villalobos each finished two-for-three, while Hunter Dozier went two-for-five.
After Colton Eubanks retired the side in the opening frame, the `Jacks capitalized on an RBI single from Loveless to take 1-0 advantage. With one out, Dozier extended his ongoing record for doubles in a single-season to 20 with a one-hopper to the wall in the right center gap. The Denton native advanced to third on a grounder to short the next batter, before coming in on Loveless' single through the left side. Eubanks fanned Forrestt Allday and Blake Marchal, before Ethan Harris lined out to center field. The strikeout to Allday was the first time in the series that he failed to reach base to open the game.
The Bears quickly responded with two runs of their own the next inning to go up 2-1. Eubanks retired his fourth consecutive batter for the first out of the inning, before allowing a base runner with a four-pitch free pass to Travis Snider. The Bears' catcher came around to score the following batter on Garrett Brown's triple the center field. UCA would tack on one more in the frame, as Brown would come in one batter later on groundout to the shortstop.
SFA would tie it 2-2, pushing one across in the bottom of the second off of Lamantia's single that plated Villalobos, before the Bears tagged Eubanks for three more runs to chase him from the game with one out in the top of the third. The Bears delivered five consecutive singles before the `Jacks turned the ball over to Justin Choate, who recorded the final two outs of the inning.
The `Jacks would score three runs off the UCA starter Ryan Angus, to retie the game 5-5 in the bottom of the fourth. Following a leadoff walk to Loveless, SFA delivered consecutive singles from Myers and Villalobos to load the bases with no outs. Two batters later Lamantia delivered Myers on a sac fly to right field, before Zach Benson emptied the bases on a single to right field.
After a silent fifth for both teams, UCA pushed one pushed one across on a triple from Logan Moon that plated Blake Roberts, before the `Jacks retook the lead 7-6 on Lamantia's two-run shot over the left center wall. Myers led off with a single up the middle of off Andy Steinmetz (4-3) before rounding the bases on Lamantia's third homerun of the season.
In the top of the seventh, the Bears used back-to-back singles and a sac bunt to put two runners in scoring position to cause SFA to turn the ball over to senior stopper Alex Moshier. The `Jacks would trade an out for a run, that tied the game 7-7, before retiring Brown to end the inning.
SFA would respond in the bottom of the frame, with a two-run shot from Loveless, to take a 9-7 advantage. With one out, Dozier singled to center field before eventually coming around on Loveless' sixth homerun of the season.
The `Jacks would add an insurance run in the bottom of the eighth on Bryce Cummings' RBI single to right center, before Moshier retired the side to cap off the 10-7 win and take the series over the Bears.
SFA will close out the regular season with a three-game set versus Nicholls State at home beginning Thursday at 3:00 p.m.

1Timothy 6:9-10 Aber sie, die reich fallen in Versuchung und Fallstrick sein wird, und in viele törichte und schädliche Lüste, die die Menschen in Verderben und Verdammnis. Für die Liebe zum Geld ist die Wurzel allen Übels: die hat etliche gelüstet, sie sind vom Glauben geirrt, und durchbohrte sich selbst viel Kummer.

JPMorgan Chase, the largest bank in the United States, has shocked the financial community by reporting a two billion dollar loss on investments made by the bank's traders.
Officials with the bank blamed "errors, sloppiness and bad judgment" for the losses and stated that it was possible another billion dollars could be lost because of the strategy that has been in place for investors.
The bank's chief investment office will lose an estimated 800 million dollars in the second quarter of the year even when accounting for gains in other investment areas.
A source close to the bank told the BBC that despite attempts to focus on one trader they could label as "rogue," the plan was executed by many traders in a big portfolio.
A former Federal Reserve regulator told the BBC Americans should be concerned about such actions because JPMorgan Chase is a bank considered "too big to fail" and would be bailed out by federal tax dollars.

Code rage
Most people believe they are a better driver than the rest of the motorists on the road. Of course, that can't possibly true; there has to be at least a handful of below average drivers. And you know who they are. The jerks to your left, right, front, and rear on the highway.
Do we as developers feel the same way, that we are a better programmer than the average Joe in our profession?
I'll admit I've experienced code rage on more than one occassion. My blood pressure raises when I come across silly mistakes which seem to demonstrate a lack of understanding of basic programming or Java language concepts. Every time I see something like
new Integer(0).parseInt(aString) or the equally asinine
new String("a string"), I feel as if I've just been cut off with no turn signal. "Hey, buddy, keep your eyes on the code! Ever heard of a static method?!?"
Is it just me? Am I the only one who is bothered by things like this, swearing that I myself am a better programmer who would never make such a mistake? Or do some coders simply need to pull of the left lane?

MASSENA - While hundreds of people and thousands of geese, ducks and other birds leave St. Lawrence County each winter to travel south for the winter, St. Lawrence County is actually the destination of choice for one groups winter getaway.
The snowy owl, one of several owl breeds living in the region, migrate here each winter to escape the brutal cold, of a place with an even worse winter than Northern New York - the North Pole.
That was just one of the things children attending the Friends of the Robert Moses State Park Nature Centers day camp learned this week.
You can find anything from a great horned owl to screech owls, barn owls, great gray owls, northern saw-whet owls and of course, snowy owls, Recreation and Education Specialist Linda M. Besio said.
Referring to snowy owls, she said, Theyre the migraters and come here in the winter. They come from the North Pole.
Ms. Besio said seven children participated in the day camps morning session held at the Hawkins Point Visitors Center, with another group of children expected for the afternoon session at the Massena Housing Authoritys community room, just off of state Route 37 in the village.
Following the presentation, children also had the opportunity to dissect an owl pellet and make their very own paper plate owl to take home.
Benjamin Gladding, 9, of Massena, said he found two rodent heads inside his pellet.
I was expecting to find a lot of bones, but not very many heads, he said.
Benajmins friend, Gavin Benson, 10, also of Massena, said he had no idea what he would find when he broke into his pellet, which actually contained four rodent skulls.
He was hungry and ate the whole family, joked Ms. Besio, as she explained the pellets are coughed up by owls after the owls eat a meal and contain the bones of whatever creature the owl dined on that day.
Theyre not owl puke, she said, dispelling a common misconception about the pellets.
The children also had an opportunity to color and make an owl out of paper plates to take home.
Morning sessions for the camp, which will continue through Friday will be held at the visitors center from 10 a.m. to noon, with an afternoon session to follow from 1 to 3 p.m. in the housing authoritys community room.
The free day camp will continue today with a lesson focused on birds and Fridays lesson will teach children about the New York state mammal, the beaver.
Each days program is free and will include a brief lesson followed by a project.
Pre-registration for the programs is suggested, as space is limited, especially for the morning sessions. Parents can register their students by calling 705-5022 and if no one answers Friends Director Mary A. Danboise said she would like to ask people to leave a message. Parents may also sign up their children through the organizations Facebook page, which can be found by searching for The Friends of the Robert Moses State Park Nature Center, Inc.

Japan's conservative prime minister on August 15 broke with two decades of tradition by omitting any expression of remorse over the country's past aggression in Asia on the anniversary of its World War II surrender. Shinzo Abe's speech, which came after nearly 100 lawmakers including two cabinet ministers visited a controversial war shrine -- avoided typical words such as 'profound remorse' and 'sincere mourning' used by his predecessors to atone for those who suffered as the Imperial Japanese Army stormed across East Asia.

John from Cincinnati: His Visit: Day Two Continued
(S01E03) Let that be a lesson to you, young padawans. If you're going to get pierced downtown or any other place the sun don't shine outside of Saint-Tropez, it could come back to haunt you given any major religious experiences... or bonings.
I'm bestowing this episode with the alternate title "Burning Sensation." Everything came to a head in a massive montage of sizzle - Kai's piercings, Butchie's implants, Vietnam Joe's shrapnel, Ramon's pea soup spillage and Palaka's hand.
I love this kind of stuff. I spent a couple of years following around religious pilgrims to earn a fancy pants anthropology degree. I read a ridiculous number of books about people's religious experiences and theories of existential connection and liminality. Since this is a TV blog, I'll spare you the better part of my navel gazing, but there's something kind of beautiful about all this oneness at the margins. But, is there anything more beautiful than Dayton Callie?
I have a few ideas for some John from Cincinnati spin-offs. First up, there's the Ramon, Lawyer Dickstein and Barry show. They make a hilariously motley crew. Luis Guzman's delivery of the line "I'm half deaf from the leaf blower" alone would have made this episode worthwhile.
But, the show I really want to see is the Steady Freddie show. He'd just sit in his car listening to Sarah Brightman and commenting on whatever was going on outside. His sidekick Palaka would come by with coffee every once in awhile. I hope these guys are going to be series regulars. They're damn funny. Freddy even got the night's best line, "Retired cops don't get my name, what time it is or pissed on if they go up in flames." And, yet, he's so compassionate. I heart Freddy. I just don't want him to break my hand.
As for the other performers, the jury is no longer out on De Mornay for me. Chica needs to take it down a notch. I know it's a tough role. She's got to be the worry warrior - the bitch from hell who's been hardened by pulling everyone back from the precipice over and over and over again. I appreciate the character, but De Mornay's shrillness is unbearable.
The weakest component of this show, aside from De Mornay's histrionics, is Mitch and Cissy's failing marriage. I really don't care about this relationship and that's a problem seeing as the Yosts are at the center of the show. This universe literally revolves around them. Every other character on this show is either trying to protect them or exploit them. Why? Because they were good surfers once? Closer to God? It would be more convincing if they were at all tolerable as human beings.
Shaunie is the exception, of course. He's the innocent, the real thing. And, now, he's a walking, talking, halfpipe-skating miracle. The last image of Shaun skating with that amazing song (anyone know it offhand?), the flashbulb and John's "See God" incantation was especially well done. This show has had some amazing set pieces in its first three weeks. The Sarah Brightman-accompanied escape from the hospital, Shaun on the half-pipe, episode one's freak-out in the Snug Harbor parking lot. I know this show has proven to be a weird and disconcerting little adventure, but I feel like it came together in a satisfying way this week. I'm in.
As for next week, it looks like everyone's starting to connect the miraculous dots. I'm glad someone finally acknowledged that John has magic pants. I've gotta find out who is tailor is.

For an older couple where oral sex is the usual method of intimacy, this is the best product we ever have used. The taste is neutral. It is not messy. My wife insists only on this brand. As a retired family and sex therapist, I highly recommend Vagisil intimate moisturizer for older and even young couples.
Medications taken to treat breast cancer has left me with estrogen levels below what a post menapausal woman would have. Most doctors are not aware of the impact this has on a woman's sex life or vaginal health. Estrogen given orally or locally is not an option for me since my breast tumor had estrogen receptors on it.
Besides vaginal dryness, I had a horrible vaginal odor. The Rephresh pH vaginal gel, when used after douching with vinegar and water, cures the odor problem. I use a non-hormonal lubricant (lubrin) when having sex. Too bad gynocologists are clueless about this. I have done much research to finally find a product that works.
No Problem with the transaction.

The total net worth among Americans has risen to $53 trillion, the highest this measure has been since the end of 2007. At that point, Americans were worth $65 trillion. The increase this past quarter of $2 trillion was the first increase in this measure since 2007.
I am taking this as a good sign for the economy. In addition to this increase, overall personal debt is not increasing. Even though some markets are still slow and unemployment is still high, when consumers start feeling better about the economy, these should improve. I'm still waiting for interest rates for savings accounts to start climbing again more than just a few hundredths of a percentage point like Ally Bank.
On the other hand, the stock market has been the primary driver behind the increase in net worth, and it's quite possible that stocks have recovered too much too quickly. If the current recession is over, another might be around the corner. The stock market helped my net worth increase, in addition to income, over the past few years, but this might just be the result a temporary rally.
Has your net worth been increasing over the last few months, and if so, how are you increasing it?

Worst: They Don't Really Know How Admirable People Behave, Do They
Sheamus has made it clear that he FOITS for a living because of how violently he was bullied as a child. This isn't something I'm making up because I like justifying character motivations, this is canon. Sheamus is the guy in every Be A Star commercial saying ENOUF IS ENOUF.
Sheamus, the same guy from the last paragraph, made his Wrestlemania intentions known by attacking the smaller champion after he'd just competed in a goddamn Elimination Chamber match. I would die a happy man if I could Skype with Vince McMahon and just shout HAVE THE ROLE MODEL PEOPLE ACT LIKE DECENT F**KING HUMANS PLEASE until he responded with OKAY DAMMIT and had Sheamus just get in Bryan's face and challenge him instead of this misguided problem punch-solving.
Wrestling is wrestling, but damn, there isn't a guy on this show I could point to and say "this is how you should act, child watching the show with me". Except maybe John Laurinaitis. I don't know, he's got friends, he's got a great job and he's only been kneed in the face once in the last year.
Worst: Uh Oh, Hornswoggle Is Backstage Eating Cheese
please don't let this go where I think it's going please don't let this go where I think it's going please don't let this go where I think it's going please don't let this go where I think it's going please don't let this go where I think it's going please don't let this go where I think it's going please don't let this go where I think it's going please don't let this go where I think it's going
god dammit
WORST: Don't Make Me Stop Watching Your Pay-Per-Views, Too
This is why I've stopped watching Smackdown.
To put things into a proper perspective, I'm happy that Natalya gets an (I assume) six-figure paycheck and a regular role on television. I think she's a beautiful woman and a talented wrestler. I also know (as I've mentioned before) that wrestling is dumb, and for whatever reason a leprechaun in a cheese hat doesn't offend me into boycott, but a woman worthy of derision because she can't stop farting 24 hours a day does. I can't really explain it, but I can try.
I don't mind things being pointlessly stupid, but I hate it when they're mean. It's the problem I have with Punk and Rock whipping out homophobic slurs and just sorta being ignored for it because they're cool and I'm taking things too seriously. They're being mean, in a role that isn't supposed to inspire meanness.
Good intentions or bad, making a woman whose family has a history of condescending midget parodies and literally-rolling-around-in-dog-sh*t fart every time she's on TV because that will a) humiliate her or b) give her "character" so people will identify with her and cheer her (because I guess there's more than one person in the world who can't finish sentences because of their rampant foley sound effect farting) is a bad idea, a waste of time and an insult not only to the people performing it, but the people watching. It's the 500th more humiliating thing Hornswoggle has done since signing on, but like I said, with a woman — especially this woman, a part of THIS family — seems mean.
The worst part is that lingering WWE thing where you know it isn't going anywhere. It's why we get so indignant when wrestlers and critics tell us to "wait and see where it goes". It doesn't go anywhere. It NEVER GOES ANYWHERE. Sure, maybe CM Punk and Kevin Nash is supposed to go somewhere, but "lady farting" isn't. It's just not. It's not cool enough to be called "Wrestlecrap", it's not a disappointingly funny thing you can tack SNES music onto and wedge into a Botchamania. It's just a pointless, mean waste of time.
You can do better. I'm talking to every single person involved.
Worst, I Guess: Jack Swagger As United States Champion
This was a fine way to spend two minutes, I guess (and good on Wolfman Panama Jack or whatever for getting a PPV payday), but raise your hand if you remembered Jack Swagger was the United States Champion before he said "I'm Jack Swagger, the United States Champion".
Best: Michael Cole
Lawler: "What does a cougar use for pick a up line with a young guy like Swagger? What does Vickie say?"
Booker T: "I got money."
Lawler: "I think she walks up and says, 'Hey, you're ugly, I'm ugly, we're perfect together'."
Cole: "Yeah, but, how would you know? You've never dated anyone older than you."
I also would've accepted, "shut the f**k up, statutory rapist", but +1 anyway.
Best: F-C-DUB, F-C-DUB
Four things I loved about the John Cena Knows What Florida Championship Wrestling Is video package:
1. FCW is the best.
2. John Cena palling around with the lowest level WWE guys validates his whole dumb thing with Zack Ryder and makes him look infinitely cooler than basically any other hokey thing he's ever done. F**k The Rock, he doesn't even know who Randy Orton is.
3. It technically provides pay-per-view screen time for deserving gentlemen like that guy in the middle with the curly hair.
4. Is this the pre-Crisis WWE TV debut of Seth Rollins? Like when Vladimir Kozlov loved double-double-E or when Kurt Angle came out of the crowd to beat up Tiger Ali Singh?
They should expand this video package into a longer video package, then into a short program featuring FCW matches during Raw, then just show FCW instead of Raw.

Home Insurance Quotes
Ask the Home Insurance Expert
We're going to be building a house. How do I insure it while it's under construction?
Basically, you just need a standard homeowners policy. You should make sure to tell the insurance company or your agent that the house is currently under construction though.

(NEW YORK) -- When Lamont Valentin was a kid, no one had to tell him to keep his HIV status quiet. He just knew. "It was something that was a secret, that you couldn't' share," said Valentin. "Even if they didn't tell you, you could feel it." Valentin was born HIV positive in 1984, his mother died six years later and Valentin entered the foster care system. As Valentin grew up, the adults in his life warned him he probably would never live to adulthood.
But then something happened with HIV medications. In the mid 1990's, after years of fits and starts, new medications taken together in a drug cocktail, started to show promising results in HIV and AIDS patients.
While some people showed remarkable progress after taking the new medications, for Valentin the change in his disease was slow and steady.
"Think of HIV as being in the boxing ring," said Valentin. "You have one [medication] punching HIV and it's doing a good job but not a great job and then you get another guy who is better. [The medicine] was able to beat the HIV down more and more and more."
Each new medication helped Valentin manage his disease until it was no longer a death sentence, although pneumonias and asthma were a staple of his childhood.
"My HIV never grew, it never got smarter, it got dumber," said Valentin. "Right now my HIV is at the dumbest form that it can be because it doesn't replicate. [But] You gotta keep punching it."
In spite of what he heard as a child, Valentin got to grow up. He finished school, met his wife and had a son named Mason. Both his wife and son are HIV-negative. His viral load is currently undetectable and his t-cell count is stable.
But on the 25th anniversary of World AIDS Day, Valentin has a difficulty fully celebrating how far the medical world has come to treat HIV.
Although he was able to grow up, HIV has still irreparably affected his health.
Just before the birth of his son, Valentin became extremely ill with pulmonary hypertension and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), which were the cumulative effect of his pneumonias and other lung afflictions he had growing up.
As a result he remains on oxygen 24 hours a day and now needs a lung transplant to survive.
HIV, the disease that was supposed to kill him at as a child is basically completely managed by daily medication, but it is still affecting his health in unexpected ways.
Due to Valentin's HIV status, doctors in New York have been unwilling to put him on the transplant list.
"It's so tiring. All my life all I've been doing is fighting," said Valentin. "Sometimes you want to relax and get a vacation. I don't get a break. I don't get a break at all."
While doctors in other states have said they may be able to work with Valentin, his young family and limited financial resources have made moving extremely difficult.
Currently Valentin's friends have helped him set up an online fundraiser for medical costs, so that he can hopefully visit with a doctor who will agree to put him on the transplant list.
A law passed earlier this month, may help Valentin by allowing the study of HIV positive organ donors for HIV positive recipients. It could potentially provide a donor pool that would be specifically for HIV positive recipients and that could make a lung transplant for Valentin more likely.
Called the HOPE Act, the law is indicative of how far society has come in helping the HIV/AIDS population, said Dr. Joel Gallant, Chair of HIV Medical Association.
"It really reflects the progress we've made," said Gallant, who points out that it was only in the last 10-15 years that HIV positive people were allowed to receive any organ transplants at all.
Gallant also said from a scientific standpoint it's remarkable how far medical options have come for HIV positive patients.
"For me primarily as a treatment focused person it's been incredible to see this from go being a real horrible death sentence to being easier to treat than diabetes or congestive heart failure or arthritis," said Gallant. "If you had to pick one of those three it would be HIV."
Valentin says he is obviously happy about these innovations and treatments, but that they have also had the unexpected consequence of making him feel like he's from a lost generation.
"A friend of mine, we call of ourselves…the generation that was forgotten, we were suppose to die at 5 or 12 or 13 and now we're 29 because we have our own babies," said Valentin.
Although Valentin is grateful that medications have kept his HIV in check and his son and wife HIV negative, he reacts like survivor of any trauma in that he wants people to remember that the disease can have lasting consequences even when it is afflicting a person.
Lamont said he still remembers his last image of his mother, dying of AIDS with Jello in her mouth barely able to move. It's an image that has driven him to keep looking for a cure for his lung diseases, so that his son, now a 18-month-old toddler, does not have to grow up without a parent.
"Not having a parent around or not having a mother around was hard," said Valentin. "It's important to me to have that parental connection with my son. It's the most important thing in my life."
According to the World Health Organization, more than 35.3 million people are living with the virus. In the U.S. 1.1 million people are living with HIV and approximately 20% are aware they have the virus.

For The Brokenhearted From My Heart To Yours. ~ Leah Neas
Recently I experienced one of the most devastating events in life: heartbreak. One day I was happily married and madly in love with my husband, and the next day I was moving out of the home we had shared and filing for divorce. During the first month my head was spinning. I couldn't eat, my heart hurt more than I thought humanly possible and my soul ached for answers. I felt lost and it seemed that there was no way out of the darkness. I was afraid that I was going to be lost forever.
I needed to dig deep to find my strength and to pull myself out. One day, in the midst of an uncontrollable fit of crying, I sat down and wrote myself a letter. This letter has served as my road-map through this trying time and has helped me to regain my sense of balance and self.
Now that some time has passed, I feel compelled to share my letter with others in the hopes that it will help them to find their center again, begin to pick up the pieces and rebuild. Heartbreak truly is one of the worst pains that we can suffer. There is a light at the end of the tunnel- the pain will not last forever.
Dear Heartbroken Person:
Stay strong and take care of yourself. Love yourself and know your worth. Feel the moment even if it makes you cry, you need to. Accept help but don't feel sorry for yourself. Know your limits so you can set clear boundaries. Be sure to get some sleep and eat well. Exercise and seek out friends. Be extra kind to yourself taking measures not judge yourself for mistakes. Don't ever beg you're worth more than that. Try not to give more than you can handle. Remain open to love it hasn't abandoned you. Stay in the present, the future is in front of you not in your head. Know who your friends are and keep them close. Mourn fully and without apology take it one day at a time. Breathe breathe breathe. Find comfort in the small things and accept generosity.
Ask for help, you are not alone. Don't over do it. Watch funny movies. Don't seek comfort in the past because you will not find it there. Expect miracles, they only happen if you believe in them. Reach out to help others when you are sure you have helped yourself. Don't blame yourself. Be honest with yourself and know that these things take time. Be clear when thinking about what you want for yourself but don't decide too quickly. Meditate everyday and practice gratitude, this life is beautiful. You will get through this believe me, I believe in you.
With love,

Dorel Juvenile Group Announces Safety 1st Baby Book App For Mobile MomsCOLUMBUS, Ind. and FOXBORO, Mass., March 12, 2012 - Dorel Juvenile Group, Inc. (DJG), today unveiled the Safety 1st Baby Book App, the first of its kind in the juvenile industry. The app allows moms to easily capture and chronicle baby's special moments on their mobile device. In addition to baby book functionality, the Safety 1st Baby Book App provides moms with valuable child safety tips and articles- right at their fingertips.
Moms are more mobile than ever. In fact, according to a BabyCenter Mobile Mom Report, overall adoption of smartphones among moms has risen 64 percent over the past two years, and 51 percent of moms say they are "addicted" to their smartphone. In addition, more than half (53 percent) of the women surveyed said they purchased a smartphone as a direct result of becoming a mom.
"As a mobile mom myself, I understand how a smartphone can serve as the keeper of photos, schedules, reminders and more," said Julie Vallese, Consumer Safety Expert with Dorel Juvenile Group. "We're excited to offer this app to moms, providing a one-stop shop for memories and milestones to share, as well as valuable tips and advice."
The first of its kind, the Safety 1st Baby Book App combines a baby book with customized tips and articles to provide mom with tailored notifications from the prenatal stage to preschool. App features include:
- Baby Book: Facilitating instant updates, the Baby Book feature allows moms to capture milestones, photos and notes in one convenient place. Moms are also able to create an individual, color-coded Safety 1st Baby Book for each child.
- Tags: Assign tags to each photo and note to easily organize events such as baby's 1st checkup, 1st words, 1st steps and more. Moms can also create their own custom tags to personalize and organize.
- Photos: Moms can take or import photos for one or multiple Safety 1st Baby Books. The app also allows users to save photos to their photo library.
- Tips & Articles: Helping to navigate the everyday concerns of a parent, users can browse child safety tips and articles that are specific to their child's age range. Tips and articles can also be pushed to users for instant age-appropriate notifications, such as car seat safety, home safety and child care.
- Share: Unlike typical baby books, moms are able to instantly share photos, milestones, notes and articles on Facebook, Twitter and via email.
The Safety 1st Baby Book App is available for iPhone® and iPod touch® users and can be downloaded for free on the App Store™. Click here for more information and to download the Safety 1st Baby Book App.

1949-12-06 Sandy Saddler w pts 10 Orlando Zulueta, The Arena, Cleveland, Ohio, USA - NBA
[[1949-12-06 Sandy Saddler w pts 10 Orlando Zulueta, The Arena, Cleveland, Ohio, USA - NBA. Referee: Vito Mazzeo. Scorecards: 5-4, 5-4, 4-5. Supported by the Cleveland Boxing Commision, the weight class was re-introduced by the NBA and Saddler was matched to fight Zulueta. Unfortunately, it turned out to be a boring affair due to a clash of styles, with Saddler (127½) trailing during the opening four rounds to the fast-moving Zulueta (129½), eventually picking up steam in the fifth and staying just about ahead for the rest of the contest. One judge had the Cuban ahead after two left-hand punches from Saddler had strayed low during the second session and he deducted points, but the other two gave it to the latter, making the decision split. A few weeks later, Saddler (129) beat Chuck Burton (126½) by a first-round kayo at the Valley Arena, Holyoake, Massachusetts on 6 February 1950. Although there was some risk to Saddler's credibility at the weight, this contest was seen as a featherweight non-title ten rounder and not an authorised 130lb defence.

Bird Watching
At the top of the wall is a terracota saucer Billie set there with bird food. Festus thinks if he waits patiently, he can catch himself a bird. Festus couldn't catch a wounded butterfly, of course. He's slow, clumsy and lumbering (for a cat). Some people would think leaving bird food out in a yard with cats around is cruel to the birds. Actually, we think it's cruel to our cats.

Comments about American DJ Scene Setter 48:
This control board is great and simple! I am the stage light production manager for a sound company and we have been using this for everything. We started out using the Scene Setter 192, then upgraded to this. It made a huge difference! Not only does this board have more channels and steps, but it is so simple to program! It's great for small stage settings. We've been using it with Eurolight 6 channel scrim packs to run our 32 par 64 cans and our AA lighting. We also use 4, 6 channel moving heads on the back line. This board has absolutely no problem running it all as well as being extremely simple to program! However, that's about the max for the board. We recently added more lighting and moving heads so we had to upgrade to a computer software. But, I highly recommend it for beginners and/or small stage settings!
