I was wondering if there is a way to format the output of an array so that each indexed item has a discriptor and formatted in a certian way?
I have an array with 2 rows and 2 columns filled with numbers = double[][] numberArray = new double[2][2];
sample data
[0][0] = 1
[0][1] = 1
[1][0] = 2
[1][1] = 2
When I run my for loops my output statement is:
for (int i=0; i<ROWS; i++)
for (int j=0; j<COLUMNS; j++)
System.out.print(" " + numberArray[i][j]);
This will output something like this:
1.0 1.0
2.0 2.0
I would like to format the output to look like this:
Day 1 Earnings $ 1.00
Day 2 Earnings $ 2.00
If I try the System.out.printf(.......); I can only put one discriptor and one format for both columns. I would like to format each column seperately from each other.
Could you please point me in the right direction?

This promo for TLC's new show "The Virgin Diaries" has been going around the interwebs lately. Apparently these two saved even their first kiss for marriage. Once the ceremony is over their engage is the most cringe-worthy liplock you're likely to ever see on television.
But are these two lovebirds really klueless about kissing, or is this just a reality TV set-up? (You'd think they'd at least seen people kiss in the movies!)

Say hi to Nick Reuter.
People like this 32-year-old Uxbridge ski enthusiast and high-tech and business wizard are revolutionizing snow sports by creating communities linked by social media.
Sheer energy and zeal, qualities that always have been behind skiing and alpine culture, are what drive Reuter, who bought AlpineZone.com, a popular old-school ski website, in March 2011 and has updated its look and feel for modern shredders.
AlpineZone.com is many things, but at its heart, it is a forum with thousands of discussion threads for Northeast skiers to share their experiences, opinions and dreams about everything from the best new rockered fat skis or the proper way to hold your poles on the chairlift.
You also can use it to find who's driving to Magic Mountain in southern Vermont on a powder day, the best deals to Maine's Sugarloaf or even buzz about western resorts like Montana's Big Sky, and cheap lift tickets and giveaways.
"People who are on the forum are passionate about skiing," Reuter said last week over high-test coffee as we both got excited about the upcoming skiing and riding season, which surely has got to be better than last year's abysmal washout. "It's the Northeast guide to mountain adventure."
Log on to the site and register if you want to post. It's free, fun, highly informative and organized into constantly updated sections for skiing, hiking, news, lodging, gear, forums and weather. There are sub-forums on alpine touring, backcountry and mogul skiing, and obscure ski areas, among many other topics.
AlpineZone.com was founded in 1998 and now has about 2,000 regular visitors. These days, it is sustained by advertising from gear purveyors, apps such as Mapquest, and ski areas like Central Massachusetts' own Wachusett Mountain, Ragged Mountain in New Hampshire, and even West Virginia's 4,848-foot Snowshoe Mountain (yup, set to open this week).
While Reuter hopes to turn his project into a full-time gig someday, for now his day job as a project manager for a Metrowest high-tech company pays the bills.
A Connecticut native who went to Bridgewater State and earned an MBA from Bentley University a few years ago, Reuter co-owns AlpineZone.com with his Colorado-based sister, Steff, 25, who is one of the site's four forum moderators. Their late father, who grew up in Germany, instilled a love of skiing in the siblings, and took them on ski trips to the European Alps.
Reuter also is one of AlpineZone's most fervent contributors, with more than 9,000 posts since 2010. Reuter often administers and tinkers with AlpineZone between 2 and 8 a.m.
"I'm on the site all the time. If I wake up to go to the bathroom, I'm checking posts, writing posts," he said. "I'm interested in technology and the outdoors."
Ever wonder what it's like to be a ski movie star?
Well, it's always not as glamorous as it appears, said Jackie Paaso, a Maine-bred pro free-ride skier and one of the stars of this year's ski and snowboard film blockbuster, Warren Miller's "Flow State."
Paaso is featured in the movie's final segment, a gorgeous pictorial record of her and a few colleague's first ascents and descents in a forbiddingly beautiful alpine and maritime area of Norway just 600 miles south of the North Pole.
The movie's local premiere drew a crowd of several hundred to Worcester's Hanover Theatre for the Performing Arts last Saturday night for the annual preseason gathering of the region's hardcore snow sports tribes.
The flick thrilled the Central Mass. diehards, with plenty of big mountain heli-ski powder footage, freestyle tricks shot in mind-blowing HD video, and a moving tribute to the Army's legendary 10th Mountain Division ski troops.
The division is well known around here, by the way. Several veterans of the division make their homes in Central Mass., including the irreplaceable Mason Flagg of Princeton, and still ski at Wachusett, which named a trail after the World War II ski corps.
The 29-year-old Paaso — who grew up skiing at Sunday River and graduated from Gould Academy in Bethel, Maine, before going on to a freestyle and movie career — said the conditions in the Norwegian archipelago of Svalbard were tough at times.
Lots of jagged ice and crust lurk under the snow you see on screen. Skiing it with Paaso's finesse is out of range for most of us ski mortals. That's why she's the ski movie star and we're the fans.
"It's a lot of hard work. It's not the easiest way to make a living," Paaso said in a phone interview. "It's dangerous. You pretty much devote your life to it, to gain the skills and knowledge of snow conditions. But it's a dream come true."

The Clone Wars
Season 4 Episode 22:
The season finale of
Star Wars: The Clone Wars
brought together four characters for a fight that, while short, spoke volumes about one of the brawl?s central figures, Obi-Wan Kenobi. Yet even before Obi-Wan?s psychological turmoil came to bear, Maul himself underwent a spiritual transformation that saw him cast off his child-like timidity and reclaim the mantle of fearsome, cold-blooded warrior from his days as Darth Sidious? enforcer. In some ways, the straightforwardly-titled
was about two separate desires for vengeance: Maul?s overt need for retribution, and the quieter, more concealed thoughts of revenge gnawing at Obi-Wan. While the circumstances that befell Obi-Wan in
offered more than enough reason to praise the episode, there was so much more to the story, especially Maul?s inner monologue, that kept my attention until the last second.
The episode began on Dathomir, giving us our first post-
look at the planet. As Savage walked across the beaten landscape, we saw an eerie shot of the deserted battlefield, with super battle droids hanging from their deployment racks like skeletons, actual Nightsister skeletons lying broken on the ground, and a faint clinking sound that reminded me of rattling bones. All of this eeriness came to a head when Mother Talzin appeared and told Savage that the Nightsisters would always survive.
After coaxing Maul out of his hiding place like a patient mother would do with a stubborn child, Mother Talzin got to work ?fix[ing] what has been broken.? Like she did with Savage, Talzin began simultaneously repairing and corrupting Maul?s twisted psyche. I was pleased to hear Talzin describe Maul as a ?child of Dathomir,? referring to a passage in the novel
Darth Plagueis
where Darth Sidious received an infant Maul from a mysterious Dathomiri woman. The scene where Talzin ?fixed? Maul involved more than a simple repair job. When she reached into his head, she removed both his blinding pain and his childishness, but she replaced them with a potent mix of feral rage and a thirst for revenge. The scene in the graveyard where this took place set the perfect tone for Talzin?s unholy work. From the music to the ?operating table,? and from the skeletons to the dead trees, the procedure was even creepier than Savage?s own rebirth. As if to connect all of her rituals up to this point, Talzin ended the procedure with the head-tap (and the echoing, clanging sound) that has become a symbol for the corrupting influence of her magic.
When her work in the graveyard was done, Mother Talzin disappeared in a mist of green energy, as if she was sinking back into the ethereal world of the Force. Yet her continued involvement in the journey of the two Zabrak brothers led me to wonder what her endgame is. I like that fact that her motives and personal history have eluded viewers thus far. By keeping her on the sidelines,
The Clone Wars
has given her infrequent appearances more weight and import. She has only appeared when her guidance was needed. In fact, Talzin?s manipulations and personality remind me of another hidden force in the galaxy: Darth Sidious. I wouldn?t be surprised if the driving force behind all of her actions was her belief that the Force called upon her to sow mischief and chaos throughout the galaxy. Perhaps Sidious, through his own manipulations, foisted that belief upon her.
My fascination with Mother Talzin aside, this episode was primarily about Darth Maul himself, and what a transformation he underwent in those early scenes. At first, he was in physical and psychological agony, a state of being that Sam Witwer brought to life masterfully with his frantic muttering and his screams of pain. He refused to join Savage on his walk to meet Mother Talzin, instead choosing to stay on the ship and brood like a petulant child. Savage even described Maul?s focus on Obi-Wan as ?an obsession.? (Based on his facial expressions and tone of voice, I got the sense that Savage wasn?t too happy with how his brotherly reunion was playing out, but that may be an analysis for another review.)
After rising from the operating table and testing his new legs, Maul seemed to return to his former self, his every word and action espousing the pride, power, and cruelty that were the hallmarks of his character in
The Phantom Menace
. When Savage expressed surprise that he survived the ritual, his brother replied harshly, ?Of course I survived,? and ran off to put his plan for revenge into motion. He had clearly regained his sense of focus and was re-appropriating the venomous, arrogant personality that he wore when we saw him on the big screen. One minor detail of that first post-transformation scene stuck out to me: when Maul dismissed his brother?s concern and ran off, there was some whispered chanting in the background. To me, that chanting served to underscore the mysterious spiritual forces at work on Dathomir; it was as if there was more to Maul?s revival than mere mortals like Savage could grasp.
When Savage caught up to his brother, they had a conversation that stood out to me as one of this episode?s finest. It spoke volumes about what was going through Maul?s head as he processed his new lease on life, his new chance to settle the score. Maul?s line ?The Force feels out of balance? was probably the best bit of dialog in the entire episode. With just a few words, Maul summarized what had changed in the metaphysical landscape of the galaxy since the relatively quiet days of
. When the discussion turned to the Clone Wars, Maul seemed almost childlike, observing that the conflict had begun without him. He clearly believed that he was destined to become something greater than a tool in Darth Sidious? arsenal, but the important thing to recognize here is that he was wrong. As
Darth Plagueis
explained, Sidious never intended to give Maul a prominent role in his new Empire. He had crafted the Zabrak into a cunning and lethal warrior, but he had done so without the intention of making him a true apprentice. That error aside, Maul and Savage?s current events conversation gave us a look inside the former?s newly-prideful persona and his re-developing psyche.
One thing that Maul regained very quickly was his understanding of his enemy. His advice to Savage about getting the Jedi?s attention spoke to the cruelty and ferocity that he?d learned from Darth Sidious. One of the most powerful moments in the episode was when Maul spoke that line about getting attention and the cargo ship door slid up to reveal a row of innocent children waiting for supplies. Just like in
Revenge of the Sith
, the meaning here was clear. At first, I was stunned that Dave Filoni and his team would take such a bold step toward outright slaughtering of children in a Cartoon Network series. Of course, the unprecedented grimness of the implied massacre further enhanced the drama of the moment and made that scene one of the standout examples of darkness and brutality on
The Clone Wars
When word of the atrocity reached the Jedi Temple, it led to a meeting between Obi-Wan, Yoda, and Mace Windu. In an episode filled with excellent combat sequences, there were also quieter but equally powerful moments that deserve attention. One of them was in this scene at the Temple, when Obi-Wan closed his eyes in disgust and grief as he watched the bodies of the innocent villagers fall beneath Maul?s blade. It was obvious that Obi-Wan wanted to end the Zabrak warrior?s life permanently; his frustration underscored a single-minded focus that was unlike ?the Negotiator? we know and love.
What I found interesting was that Obi-Wan was so confident in his ability to defeat Maul a second time. As much as I respect Obi-Wan, I don?t think anyone can deny that he basically got lucky in the Theed power station in Episode I. Not only was he a relatively inexperienced Jedi apprentice at the time, but he was blinded by his anger after watching his master get struck down. Obi-Wan was only able to slice Darth Maul in half because Maul arrogantly thought that he had rendered the young Jedi helpless and didn?t count on Kenobi?s trick. In a straight fight, especially while angry, Obi-Wan wouldn?t have lasted long against Maul.
Mace Windu and Yoda basically confirmed that they agreed with my assessment of Obi-Wan?s chances after he left the room. Neither of them believed that Obi-Wan could defeat Maul alone ? but of course, he wouldn?t be alone. Displaying his trademark penchant for wisdom and foresight, Yoda sensed that another piece would maneuver onto the board to Obi-Wan?s advantage. It was refreshing to see Yoda turn to the Force as a guide for judiciously deploying his resources, especially given the fact that the Dark Side is increasingly shrouding and frustrating the Jedi Order at this point.
Now, Obi-Wan vs. Maul
have been a fair fight, but Obi-Wan against two Zabrak warriors was never going to work out in his favor. It struck me as the two men struck Obi-Wan that the Jedi Master has really been taking a beating this season. The music that was heard as Obi-Wan walked through the lifeless, broken town on his way to the fight would have worked perfectly to illustrate his own sordid state after Savage and Maul abducted him. Even so, Obi-Wan was joking around during the entire ordeal, saying things such as ?I like your new legs; they make you look taller? and ?When I cut you in half, I should have aimed for your neck.? Maul?s furious reaction made it clear that he wanted Obi-Wan to not only suffer but also reveal the extent of his suffering. The Zabrak wanted to revel in his enemy?s pain. But when he told the Jedi, ?You will suffer as I have suffered,? he obviously didn't count on Obi-Wan's willpower.
The fact that Maul (with help from his brother) wanted to torture Obi-Wan showed us how devastated he was by his defeat on Naboo. Having been trained to such extreme lengths by Darth Sidious, he couldn?t even conceive of the possibility that he would lose in Episode I. Obi-Wan's victory shattered his psyche, and while he had recovered from the trauma, he was no less thirsty for vengeance. Enhancing the brutality of the torture scene was Maul's dispassionate response to Obi-Wan?s combination of physical weakness and willpower. ?And they call you Master,? he spat at the Jedi. He was clearly disgusted by how weak he considered Obi-Wan to be. His renewed sense of superiority seemed to reinforce his desire to show Obi-Wan just how powerful he was now. Perhaps he still needed to prove to himself that Obi-Wan's previous victory was a fluke.
While the conflict between Obi-Wan and the Zabrak went on, Asajj Ventress was getting ready to step up to the plate. I thought she had a great entrance into the episode in that cantina, setting down her glass, passing Embo (who appears to be following her around), and muttering, ?I've got this one.? As if to underscore the fact that she hadn?t left her Dark Side past behind completely, ominous music played while she downloaded the bounty info to her comlink. Later, when she arrived to confront Savage, the music that played was predatory, with heavy emphasis on drums and a variety of exotic sounds. This music emphasized her determination to beat Savage and perhaps redefine herself by that act.
I have to say, I
liked Asajj in this episode. She demonstrated that she was still a remarkable warrior, but she was also uncharacteristically witty. I laughed when she called out, ?Looks like he's half the man you are, Savage.? Also excellent was her relationship with Obi-Wan, especially their banter. ?When did you become the good guy?? he?d ask wearily. ?Don't insult me,? she?d shoot back. ?I want that back,? she?d say of her lightsaber. ?That's fine, red's not my color,? he?d retort wryly. My favorite was at the end of the big fight. ?You want to run?? she called out. ?I learned from watching you,? he replied. ?Funny!? she scolded. Listening to this great banter, I couldn?t help but imagine them working together in the long-term. That said, Asajj was no cupcake. She definitely retained more than a bit of her Nightsister spookiness, taunting the two Zabrak with a creepy laugh that echoed throughout the cargo bay.
Obi-Wan vs. Maul and Savage vs. Asajj are the two fights I?ve wanted to see for a while, and while that climactic battle was brief, it was nothing short of spectacular. The action was well-choreographed, with the fighters switching off every so often and making great use of space and nearby objects. There were some absolutely amazing moments during the dual duel, like when Maul would spin and Obi-Wan would kick him, or when Maul slapped away Obi-Wan?s lightsaber and Obi-Wan bounced back on the defensive.
Even though it was a great battle to watch, the single most important part of this long combat scene was how Obi-Wan reacted to facing Maul again. The tattooed warrior evidently remembered how loudly Obi-Wan screamed when he slew Qui-Gon, because he taunted the Jedi by asking him, "How did that make you feel, Obi-Wan?" Maybe by using Obi-Wan?s first name, he hoped to remind his enemy of how Qui-Gon used to address him. The intense choral music that followed underscored the effect that this had on Obi-Wan. His uncharacteristically angry attack, which ultimately cost him his focus, reminded me of the way he swung and struck at Darth Maul in Episode I. Recognizing this weakness, Maul sarcastically noted that Jedi don't do well managing their rage in battle. To the fans who complain about how woefully outmatched Obi-Wan was in this episode, keep this in mind: Obi-Wan?s memory of Qui-Gon distracted and unbalanced him enough to render him vulnerable, and that was all the opportunity Maul needed.
Before I wrap up this review, I?d like to address a few miscellaneous things. The first is very minor but it struck me as funny enough to merit a mention. When the bounty hunters in the cantina assessed Savage?s holographic wanted poster, one of them said, ?Who is Savage Opress?? and pronounced his name using standard English syllables (i.e. SA-vage instead of Sa-VAGE). Given the initial criticism of the character?s name, I found it fitting that
The Clone Wars
team decide to poke a little fun at their own penchant for cheesiness.
My last observation is about Maul?s revival. In my review of
, I said that I?d be expecting a coherent explanation for how Maul survived over the years. Unfortunately, what we got in
did not satisfy me. Maul touched on his survival by repeating the familiar refrain that his hatred kept his spirit intact even as his body broke apart. Like I said last week, I found that explanation profoundly unsatisfying. I?m prepared to accept a lot of mysticism in my
Star Wars
, but there are limits to the amount of hand-waving you can do before it strains my suspension of disbelief. If Maul?s revival will never be explained with more clarity than ?I hate, therefore I live,? then my suspension-of-disbelief bubble has popped from the strain. That was the one truly disappointing aspect of an otherwise phenomenal episode.
I won?t try to make my
wrap-up a summary of the entire season. Instead, I?ll just say that, like many successful episodes of
The Clone Wars
, the Season 4 finale intertwined several compelling storylines and crafted an enjoyable narrative based on those various sets of characters, experiences, and motivations. All of the storylines impressed me, with each one offering a slightly different reward to the viewer. Whether it was learning more about what Maul had expected from Darth Sidious, witnessing Asajj form a shaky alliance with a former nemesis, or watching Obi-Wan face his inner demons and abandon his usual composure,
played up the emotional underpinnings of the Clone Wars to great effect. And with mysteries like Asajj?s future life, Mother Talzin?s continued influence, and Darth Maul?s next move still up in the air, Season 5 promises to be the most exciting one yet.
Thanks so much for reading my reviews of
The Clone Wars
Season 4. I?ll be back this fall with commentary and analysis for a whole new slate of
Star Wars

What's New
Kombine Font Family by Harold's Fonts
About: The Kombine fonts are experiments in font mashups. My inspiration was found in Blackletter: Type and National Identity (Cooper Union, 1998, p.33). There was a small illustration of a font called "Centralschrift (C. G. Schoppe Foundry) 1853, a 19th c. hybrid of fraktur and a neo-classical roman". The upper parts--those which most enable reading--are the more familiar roman, producing a more legible font for those (like me) unfamiliar with the fraktur. I used as my models a Wittenberger fraktur and various members of the Century family, recognized for its legibility. In working with the fraktur, I was reminded that its origin is in pen calligraphy. A natural extension then was the companion italic (Kombine Kursiv), an anomaly in blackletter type which has never used the upright roman/inclined italic convention.

The most "southern" of Florida's major cities in character, Jacksonville has long shed its old civic inferiority complex to emerge as a modern, livable, business-friendly community that has grown aggressively, if sometimes haphazardly. The city's metropolitan form of government — the city and county governments have been consolidated since 1968 — has provided a sound platform, and the landmark mayoral administration of John Delaney from 1995-2003 marked a turn in city politics away from traditional good-ol'-boy dealings. Delaney also launched an ambitious, praiseworthy plan aimed at preserving green space and creating the basis for a public transportation system, but his administration continued the city's tradition of adding operations and maintenance requirements that weren't adequately funded through debt service. Passing along obligations and underfunding city pensions are among the factors in an emerging fiscal crisis today.
The city has an engaged, well-organized business community, including a notable component of women entrepreneurs and a solid, thoughtful group of heavy-hitters called the Jacksonville Community Council. The city's port, one of the most progressively managed ports in the state, along with the presence of rail companies and rail infrastructure (CSX, RailAmerica), as well as Jacksonville's location at the junction of two interstates have positioned the city as a significant transportation hub and hot spot for both domestic and international trade. The ongoing work to redevelop the old Cecil Field air base as a manufacturing and distribution center is bolstering the city's business infrastructure.
Jacksonville's biggest challenges are the emerging fiscal crisis; lingering racial divisions; crime; chronically underperforming schools; and the inability so far to build a vibrant downtown that capitalizes on its handsome skyline and a great natural asset — the St. Johns River, which runs through the heart of the city. Mayor John Peyton has made downtown and the river a major focus for the last two years of his administration.

Sick sinus syndrome (SSS) is not one specific disease. It is the term is used to describe several heart rhythm disorders. Sick sinus syndrome disorders include:
This disorder can be treated very effectively. If you think you may have this condition, you should contact your doctor to discuss treatment.
SSS is caused by a problem with the electrical signals of the heart. The problem begins in an area of the heart called the sinoatrial (SA) node. This node is considered to be the heart's natural pacemaker. When the SA node is defective, the heart's rhythms become abnormal. The dysfunction in the SA node can be due to:
SSS is fairly rare. It occurs most often in elderly people and those who have had damage to the heart tissue. Both men and women seem to be affected equally. Although rare, infants and children can have SSS. In this case it is usually due to congenital abnormalities in their heart. Some of the risk factors for sick sinus syndrome include:
Often, patients with SSS have no symptoms at all. Some patients do experience cardiac symptoms. This may include a period of very rapid heart beats followed by very slow heart rate. Many of the symptoms of sick sinus disorder are mild and nonspecific. Some symptoms associated with SSS include:
These symptoms may be caused by other, less serious health conditions. If you experience any one of them, see your doctor.
SSS may go undetected for some time. The symptoms are similar to ones for many disorders. Your doctor can do tests that will help to give a more definitive diagnosis. Most likely, your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. Some additional tests may include the following:
For people with no symptoms, treatment may not be needed. SSS is a progressive disorder. It can further weaken the muscles of the heart in people with previous heart damage. This can lead to heart failure. As a result, people with symptoms are treated. Most treatment plans involve separate therapy for bradycardia and tachycardia. Talk with your doctor about the best plan for you. Treatment options include the following:
A pacemaker]]> is a small, battery-operated device. Electrodes from the pacemaker are placed in the right side of the heart. Signals are sent to the electrodes to stimulate the heart. It helps to maintain a normal heartbeat by sending electrical impulses to the heart. It is a very effective treatment of the bradycardia. People with implanted pacemakers have a very good prognosis.
Medication may be given to control tachycardia. It is most often given to people with a pacemaker.
Unfortunately, for most people, SSS is not preventable. I may not be caused by prior damage or scarring to the heart tissue. However, some strategies for minimizing your chance of developing this condition include:

With all do respect towards Mac-Paulo, I think you need to relax a bit. Since you've seen many LuLa videos, you'd think you'd have a firm grasp on the tone of voice Jeff uses in his writing and speaking.
Whether I agree with that Mr. Goode or not about your writing style, I don't think it's that elegant to slate an argued negative review and call for positive comments on LuLa.
First off, it's a 2 star not 3 star bud...
I'm sorry you don't see the differences nor have gotten more out of the book....have you been to the book's web site? Have you downloaded any of the sample DNGs and followed along in the book how I arrived at the final result?I think you are getting confused... to quote Marshall McLuhan, The medium is the message. If you don't get that, I think you are missing a lot.As for whether or not I should mention a bad review here and ask people who honestly seem to like the book to go post their thoughts. I'm not trolling for glowing reviews, only asking for people who really like the book to say so...you are welcome to post your review as well.
Elegance/tolerance should come first IMHO, especially when replying on the biggest store ever or on the most respected photography forum.
That's you bud...that ain't me.You keep trying to alter my behavior...and that simply will never happen. I am who/what I am and "tolerance" is not a characteristic of my being. Oh, and I'm not very "elegant" either.Are you SURE you've watch me in the videos?:~)
Many thanks...I'm gratified you think that! I work pretty hard to keep thing concise but throw in some spice as well :-)Unfortunately some wing nut named Johnny B Goode seems to think I'm a very bad writer & said so in an Amazon review...course he called Mr. Shewe so I'm not too sure about his reading comprehension...I mean, my name is spelled correctly on the cover of the book :-)Might be useful if some other folks who DO like the writing post some additional reviews. I would hate for Johnny B to have the last word...
The correctness, at least as I perceive it, of text made me believe that it was written in cooperation by Eric Chan, but I have been informed that was not the case.
Jeff is it true that the content of the book is really Michael's and you were in reality the ghost writer? He advertised it because he is getting 95% of the royalties. And he gets most of the loot and you get the flak from nit picking buyers.

There's an armful of new albums on the Billboard country charts this week, led by Blake Shelton's Based on a True Story, which debuts at No. 1.
And there's a new chart-topper on the country airplay songs list, as well — Hunter Hayes' "Somebody's Heartbreak." It hits the summit after a 25-week climb.
Based on a True Story sold 199,086 copies its first week out, reports Nielsen SoundScan.
Kacey Musgraves' Same Trailer Different Park, last week's top album, has dipped to No. 7.
Bowing in at No. 2 is Alan Jackson's gospel project, Precious Memories, Volume II, on sales of 55,422 units.
The other newcomers are Thompson Square's Just Feels Good (No. 4), the various artists collection Official 2013 Academy of Country Music Awards 'ZinePak (No. 11), Maggie Rose's Out to Impress (No. 36), the Black Lillies' Runaway Freeway Blues (No. 43) and Redneck Social Club's We've Got Friends … We've Got Ammo … We've Got Plans … (No. 55).
Returning to the chart are Hayes' Live EP (No. 71) and Chase Rice's Dirt Road Communion (No. 73).
Shelton's "Boys 'Round Here," recorded with Pistol Annies & Friends, is the highest-charting new song, arriving at an impressive No. 19.
Also making their first chart appearances are Taylor Swift's "I Knew You Were Trouble" (No. 55), Musgraves' "Blowin' Smoke" (No. 56), Kix Brooks' "Complete 360" (No. 59) and Carrie Underwood's "See You Again" (No. 60).
The No. 3 and No. 5 albums — just to round out the Top 5 — are Luke Bryan's Spring Break … Here to Party and Swift's Red.
Songs No. 2 through No. 5, in that order, are Lee Brice's "I Drive Your Truck," Lady Antebellum's "Downtown," Shelton's "Sure Be Cool If You Did" (No. 1 for the past two weeks) and Thompson Square's "If I Didn't Have You."
OK, back to the radio.

Historical Period:
The 18th Century
Mercy Otis Warren (1728-1814) was one of the most formidable female intellectuals in 18th century America. She wrote plays, poetry, letters, a pamphlet warning of the dangers of the new Constitution, and one of the most important contemporary histories of the American Revolution. In her history we see the continual struggle between liberty, virtue, and reason on the one hand, against the blind pursuit of power, luxury, and passion on the other.

Only iPhone
Only iPhone
No other phone is like iPhone.
Only when hardware and software are designed together can they truly work together.
Apple teams design the world's best products, with the most innovative displays, chips, cameras, operating systems, and services. But just as important, the teams collaborate so that all the components of iPhone work together efficiently and beautifully.
While this might seem like an obvious way to work, no other smartphone is made this way. And it makes all the difference.
It means that the camera team can work with the chip team to leverage the power of the A13 Bionic. So that when you frame a shot, the ISP and Neural Engine identify faces in the frame. Detect specific features. And optimize for lighting, white balance, and more before you even tap the shutter.
This is the kind of stuff you'd never even know is happening. You just see the result — the shot you wanted, with more detail, true-to-life color, and dynamic range than you would have thought possible from a smartphone.
All-day battery life.
When the software teams build features, they tailor their algorithms to optimize for performance and efficiency on the chip — and vice versa.1
AR like you've never seen.
iOS 13 and the advanced hardware in iPhone are at the heart of the largest AR platform in the world. And ARKit 3 makes it easier for developers to create immersive interactive experiences.

Revision as of 15:17, 23 November 2007
Neo1973 side
Name resolution
By default Neo1973 has usb0 interface working due to Ethernet gadget (g_ether) compiled into kernel.
On the Neo, if you want to reach out to the internets using full qualified hostnames, you need to define your DNS server. Create a file /etc/resolv.conf with at least one line saying
nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
e.g. nameserver 192.168.1.1
Then you can also easily update your 2007.2 OpenMoko packages with "ipkg update && ipkg upgrade" on the Neo.
A better approach is to symlink
ln -s /var/run/resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf
and fill the file at bootup with a script /etc/network/if-up.d/08setupdns containing:
#!/bin/sh -e echo nameserver 192.168.0.200 > /var/run/resolv.conf
this way the file is correctly handled from ppp package when dialing into gprs.
You need a additional route for traffic to the internet. This traffic can be routed through your pc (see below) if the pc is the default route destination. you can achieve this by adding
gateway 192.168.0.200
to your /etc/network/interfaces in the usb0 section.
Desktop side
Manual method
With the device connected, modprobe usbnet module and configure usb0 interface (as root):
ifconfig usb0 192.168.0.200 netmask 255.255.255.0
If your eth0 interface is also in the same 'range' (e.g. 192.168.0.105) then you can do the following:
1. ping the Neo with
# ping -I usb0 192.168.0.202
2. add a route to your Neo:
# /sbin/route add -host 192.168.0.202/32 dev usb0
3 log in to the Neo
# ssh email@example.com
If you don't have the necessary modules to get usb0 going, make sure you have the following kernel options enabled:
Both options are available in the Device Drivers -> USB support -> USB Network Adapters. For more info see the usbnet driver homepage.
Automatic method
Took from Hotplugging usbnet post by Marcin 'Hrw' Juszkiewicz.
Debian or similar
Edit /etc/network/interfaces:
allow-hotplug usb0 iface usb0 inet static address 192.168.0.200 netmask 255.255.255.0 network 192.168.0.0 post-up iptables -A POSTROUTING -t nat -j MASQUERADE -s 192.168.0.0/24 post-up echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward post-up iptables -P FORWARD ACCEPT
Ubuntu (Tested with Feisty and Gutsy)
Edit /etc/network/interfaces:
auto usb0 iface usb0 inet static address 192.168.0.200 netmask 255.255.255.0 network 192.168.0.0 up iptables -A POSTROUTING -t nat -j MASQUERADE -s 192.168.0.0/24 & up echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward & up iptables -P FORWARD ACCEPT & down iptables -D POSTROUTING -t nat -j MASQUERADE -s 192.168.0.0/24 &
If you are doing the echo 1 > /proc/... command manually, sudo may not be enough, then you will have to execute it from a sudo bash.
Ubuntu Feisty and Gutsy appear to have a bug where ifdown is not run when the interface is unplugged, meaning this only works once after the system is booted. One can patch /etc/udev/rules.d/85-ifupdown.rules, editing the two lines at the end of the file:
SUBSYSTEM=="net", DRIVERS=="?*", GOTO="net_start" GOTO="net_end" LABEL="net_start" # Bring devices up and down only if they're marked auto. # Use start-stop-daemon so we don't wait on dhcp ACTION=="add", RUN+="/sbin/start-stop-daemon --start --background --pidfile /var/run/network/bogus --startas /sbin/ifup -- --allow auto $env{INTERFACE}" LABEL="net_end" ACTION=="remove", RUN+="/sbin/start-stop-daemon --start --background --pidfile /var/run/network/bogus --startas /sbin/ifdown -- --allow auto $env{INTERFACE}"
the bug is that the LABEL="net_end" is at the wrong position
# USB configuration for PDAs (openmoko) IPADDR=192.168.0.200 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 STARTMODE=onboot

Red Hat or similar
Edit /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/net.hotplug:
After this command
case $INTERFACE in # interfaces that are registered after being "up" (?)
usb0) ifconfig usb0 192.168.0.200 netmask 255.255.255.0 route add 192.168.0.202 usb0 iptables -I INPUT 1 -s 192.168.0.202 -j ACCEPT iptables -I OUTPUT 1 -s 192.168.0.200 -j ACCEPT iptables -A POSTROUTING -t nat -j MASQUERADE -s 192.168.0.0/24 echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward exit 0 ;;
- Open /etc/conf.d/net and add:
# Neo1973 config_usb0=( "192.168.0.200 netmask 255.255.255.0" ) routes_usb0=( "192.168.0.202/32 via 192.168.0.200" )
- Create a new init script:
cd /etc/init.d ln -s net.lo net.usb0
- Put iptables into use:
iptables -I INPUT 1 -s 192.168.0.202 -j ACCEPT iptables -I OUTPUT 1 -s 192.168.0.200 -j ACCEPT iptables -A POSTROUTING -t nat -j MASQUERADE -s 192.168.0.0/24
- Store them
/etc/init.d/iptables save
- If you want the routing by default:
rc-update add iptables default

Proxying DNS requests
If, like me, you move about quite a lot, connecting to various networks as you go and getting your ip via dhcp, you'll probably be annoyed at having to constantly update your resolv.conf on the Neo 1973.
To get round this, as part of my setup script, I run a proxy dns on the ip address the neo comes in on at the usb0 port. This means that my Neo /etc/resolv.conf only contains:
nameserver 192.168.0.200
and my laptop will proxy all dns requests based on it's own /etc/resolv.conf
note that we only run the dns proxy on the usb0 interface so that we don't break any other networking
Proxying with dnrd
The script is designed to use dnrd as the dns proxy. The script and a copy of dnrd are available from my site. The script also performs the initial setup of the connection as per the USB_Networking#Manual_method above.
Proxying with a UDP forwarder
Another easy setup is using a udp forwarder like the one from http://www.tapor.com/udpf/ - is use it with the command
udpf-elf\ -p=53\ -f=`cat /etc/resolv.conf|awk '$1 == "nameserver"{print $2; exit(0);}'`:53
Proxying with iptables
Its is possible to forward DNS requests with iptables using the DNAT target
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -s 192.168.0.202 -d 192.168.0.200 --dport domain -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.0.1 iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p udp -s 192.168.0.202 -d 192.168.0.200 --dport domain -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.0.1
where 192.168.0.1 is the IP of your residential gateway (router). This is the easiest method, but its not recommended if you have a direct connection to the Internet as ISP DNS servers can change, and this does no load-balancing.
Connecting to phone
Then ssh firstname.lastname@example.com with empty password to get into phone.
NOTE: the ssh daemon (dropbear 0.49) on the OpenMoko appears to have a bug when sending the exit status back to the client. From time to time you receive an exit status of 255.
SSH Extras
If you get fed up with typing email@example.com, on your PC edit /etc/hosts and add an entry for 'phone'
192.168.0.202 phone
then edit ~/.ssh/config (or create it) and add
host phone user root
then all you need to do is type
# ssh phone
To avoid ssh added a new line for every ssh host-key to you known_hosts you can add the following to the phone section in ~/.ssh/config
UserKnownHostsFile /dev/null
You might want to use keys to bypass the login prompt too.
SSH Keys
From host to phone
To generate ssh keys for use as a login mechanism type
ssh-keygen -t rsa
when prompted for a password either hit enter for no password (not really a good idea) or enter a password for this key. ssh into the phone and create ~/.ssh
# mkdir ~/.ssh
then from your PC copy the .pub file to the phone.
# scp ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub phone:.ssh/authorized_keys
You should now be able to ssh directly into the phone.
To disable password logins (after setting up key access) edit /etc/init.d/dropbear and change the following line:
You will need to restart dropbear for this to take effect.
From phone to host
Generate the key
dropbearkey -t rsa -f id_rsa
The output will look something like this:
Will output 1024 bit rsa secret key to 'id_rsa' Generating key, this may take a while... Public key portion is: ssh-rsa AAAAB3Nza[...] Fingerprint: md5 ca:e8:f0:b7:f6:7b:c2:b6:b9:71:e4:45:86:a9:ff:b8
Copy and paste the one line (in this example, starting with 'ssh-rsa' onto the end of the host's authorized_keys file (often in ~/.ssh/).
From the phone, ssh with -i:
ssh -i id_rsa user@host
This works for me. I ripped off these instructions from: [[1]]
GUI on desktop through SSH
If you need to get the GUI on the phone onto the desktop via usb, you can use ssh as follows
ssh -l root -X -v 192.168.0.202
Login, and run openmoko-finger-demo for example, and it will open up on the desktop. To get landscape view, just resize the GUI window on the desktop.
Remote apps on neo
To get desktop apps to show up on your neo, first log in to the phone
ssh -l root 192.168.0.202
Then once inside, run:
DISPLAY=:0 xhost +192.168.0.200
After this you can close the ssh session. Back on the desktop computer, run:
DISPLAY=moko:0 xclock
Note that the xhost command will allow remote applications on 192.168.0.200 to access the X server. It will allow anyone on the desktop machine to access the X server of the neo, including snooping anything you type on it. To disallow remote applications again, run this in the neo:
DISPLAY=:0 xhost -192.168.0.200

...how can you explain the fact that if a Buddha still speaks to sentient beings, she must apprehend the concepts which those sentient beings communicate?
Those concepts are necessarily conventional.
So, does it not follow, that a Buddha must be able to apprehend the conventional phenomena of ordinary speech?
First, I don't regard that as a fact. The rest of your statement depends upon me accepting that fact, but I don't.
The primary Mahayāna sutra metaphor for a Buddha is a wishfulfilling gem because a wishfulfilling automatically gem fulfills the wishes of sentient beings without concepts.

Just last summer, the dearth of Android tablet apps comparable to the offerings available for the iPad posed a serious problem for Android tablets makers trying to compete with Apple's market juggernaut. But more recently, lots of outstanding tablet-optimized apps for Android have emerged--enough to make the task of selecting the best ones difficult because of the abundance of choices rather than the scarcity.
Fortunately, PCWorld Contributing Editor JR Raphael was up to the challenge. He identified 28 apps that will enhance your productivity with--and enjoyment of--your Android tablet. To make the results more accessible, he divided the apps into three productivity categories: reference, news and weather, and multimedia. Then he assembled three slide shows to provide a big-screen preview of how each app looks.
Productivity starts with reliable data and a solid grasp of the facts. To put essential information on your Android tablet, JR nominates such solid reference apps as iTriage Mobile Health, TripAdvisor, Analytix HD, IMDb Movies & TV, and of course Google Earth.
You'll find all nine of his recommendations at "The Best Android Tablet Apps for Reference."
To keep abreast of the latest political and meteorological developments, he recommends ten excellent apps with a news or weather focus, including Google Reader, Pulse News, Google Currents, and AccuWeather for Honeycomb.
Take a look at the contenders presented in "Best News and Weather Apps for Your Android Tablet."
JR's multimedia power set includes nine apps for video, music, podcasting, photo editing, and more. Among the highlights in this group are the Android tablet apps for Ustream, Google Music, Equalizer, SketchBook Pro, and Adobe Photoshop Touch.
To check out all nine, see "The Best Android Tablet Apps for Multimedia."

I really enjoy long distance rides 4000-5000 kilometers in 6 days so of thing.
My current ride is a 2008 BMW F650gs twin. Thanks to Curtis at Durham BMW.
my last two other ride have been 2001 Kawasaki Nomad 1500fi and a 2000 Honda Shadow. I really enjoy the lighter more agile F650gs.
I am retiring early this November so next year I want to do a ride from Toronto to Vancouver in June and then Vancouver to San Francisco then on to Toronto in July.
