With tour lined up, Palin's looking more like a candidate
WASHINGTON — Since former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin shot to fame after her 2008 vice presidential bid, she's kept her intentions — if not her ambitions — closely held.
But on Thursday, Palin's ambitions began to look increasingly presidential. Her political action committee announced that she'd launch a multi-state tour over the Memorial Day weekend, beginning at a motorcycle rally in Washington and winding its way up the East Coast to New Hampshire, the site of the nation's first presidential primary.
"I've said many times that America doesn't need a 'fundamental transformation,' " Palin said in an announcement on her website. "Instead we need a restoration of all that is good and strong and free in America! So, together let's prepare ourselves for the days ahead by reminding ourselves who we are and what Americans stand for."
Palin still hasn't officially announced a candidacy, but the evidence piled up this week. She told Fox News Channel that she had "fire in the belly" for a presidential bid. Her closest advisers confirmed that "The Undefeated," a flattering documentary by conservative filmmaker Stephen Bannon, would premiere next month in Iowa, the site of caucuses that are the nation's first presidential contest. She and her husband, Todd, even reportedly bought a house in Arizona, to have a more accessible home base in the Lower 48.
And although Palin has said that filing deadlines, family considerations and the other aspiring officeholders in the field would shape her ultimate decision, the blue bus emblazoned with the motto "One Nation" left little question that the upcoming tour is but a precursor to a full campaign.
Palin's potential candidacy has been the biggest open question as the Republican presidential primary field has solidified in recent weeks. Her biggest potential rival on the far right, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, announced that he was out; meanwhile, former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich announced that they're in.
Others who haven't made official announcements, such as 2008 contender and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and Rep. Michele Bachmann of Minnesota, already are spending plenty of time in key primary states: Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina.
"By and large, they know where she stands on a lot of issues," said Iowa's Steve Scheffler, a GOP national committeeman, who hasn't endorsed anyone. He's also the president of the conservative Iowa Faith & Freedom Coalition.
"But I think Iowans rightfully expect their candidate to be vetted well, in small groups and one on one," he said. "If she's going to run, they'd very much like her to come here sooner rather than later."
Former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum has been to New Hampshire at least 15 times already, said Jennifer Horn, the president of We the People, a conservative group.
"If she's serious about running, she has to get here," Horn said. "She doesn't have to make up ground so that people know who she is. She has to make it clear that she's serious about running. You've got to be up here and you've got to be playing on a regular basis. We expect personal commitment."
Palin's loose organization — she hired a chief of staff only recently — has led many establishment Republican figures to question whether she had enough people with the command of the logistics necessary to pull off a presidential bid. But that lack of a formal organization belies one of her greatest strengths, said one longtime observer from Alaska, Democratic pollster Ivan Moore.
Moore, who's been closely following opinion polls on a potential Palin bid, said the former governor has always had impeccable timing.
Among her enemies, "even if they don't credit her for much else, they credit her for having unerring political instinct," he said. "Maybe that's just the gift she has."
He pointed to a recent AP-GfK Poll that found Palin had a 59 percent unfavorable rating. It's "her highest ever negative," Moore said.
A Gallup poll from earlier this week found that Romney and Palin now lead a smaller field of potential GOP presidential candidates among rank-and-file Republicans. But no one is a runaway favorite yet; just over one-fifth of Republicans don't have preferences at this point, the poll found.
And while she may not have key pollsters, advisers or field organizers lined up, Palin made some smart endorsements last year that could pay dividends in 2012. After a Palin endorsement, candidates soared to victory in key states such as South Carolina and New Hampshire, and she was a popular campaigner in the reddest parts of Florida.
The endorsement that may prove to be the most important is in South Carolina, where Palin's backing of Nikki Haley propelled her from fourth place to first in a four-person field of GOP gubernatorial candidates. Haley, who's now South Carolina's governor, hasn't indicated how she'll lean. Neither has the state's aspiring conservative kingmaker Sen. Jim DeMint.
Having the right endorsement is crucial in South Carolina, said David Woodard, a Republican consultant and political science professor at Clemson University.
"It's not necessary to shake every hand and be in every county and go to every festival to make contact here," he said. "A lot of times it doesn't prove to be very effective in the end, anyway."
"Smart or lucky, I never know which is it, but she's in a very good position," he added. "She might reap a real bounty from it if the right people were to stand on the stage with her."
Palin also has a formidable and fervent social media following; more than 3 million people follow her on the social networking site Facebook. Her Facebook page erupted at the news of her bus tour. "Let's all meet at the Last Bus Stop — 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., Jan 2013," wrote one Facebook follower.
Yet Democrats gearing up for President Barack Obama's re-election bid grinned at the possibility of Palin's entrance into the race.
"The more in the GOP field, the merrier," said Joanne Peters, a spokeswoman for the Democratic National Committee.

Get Off The Pot
Sometimes I can over-think things. Or think about it and put it aside. Or grumble about how my water bill went up again but don't install a low flow toilet. I can think about carpooling with a friend but that won't make their car magically appear at my front doorstep.
The power is in the doing.
So get that sticky note that's been stuck to the fridge since last year and do the thing you've been putting off. Get the momentum going. Take some little steps and make it so.

Please read XSOAP overview. For more information about XSOAP/Java please check documentation (online Javadocs)and especially FAQ. We finished work on it and we provide downloadable Java version of XSOAP-Java 1.2.
We are currently not supporting XSOAP C++ as we are developing a new version. We expect to get this done soon. We will put up a link on the web pages as soon as we are done and will also send you an email. Please check main page for news related to XSOAP and XGWS and send questions to Madhusudhan Govindaraju.
Our old soaprmi mailing list is available but we encourage XSOAP and XML Pull Parser (XPP) users to subscribe to new XGWS mailing lists. There are two lists xgws-user for our current users and xgws-dev for those brave souls that want to be on "cutting edge" of XSOAP, XPP, and related tools development (see main XGWS page more details).
You can subscribe to old mailing list using
Mailman interface
or just browse
list archives.
We wrote a paper (accepted for SuperComputing 2000) that addresses the following questions:
This paper addresses these questions and shows that SOAP can be used to build a reliable, multi-protocol RMI system that can access desktop component technology like Microsoft COM and other non-Java software components. However, when additional performance is needed a multi-protocol approach allows a faster, more specialized protocol to be dynamically inserted to move data. Several efforts have been started to extend SOAP to have security and higher performance.
Source code of test framework used t obtain results can also be
XML Pull Parser
XML Pull Parser 2 (XPP2) was designed for and it should
be optimal for applications that require fast and small XML parser
such as SOAP implementations - for more detail see
XML Pull Parser Page.
Our newest implementation of XSOAP-Java 1.2 is now available (it is a complete rewrite and is not yet well tested but previous stable 1.1 version is also available).
You may also download the latest version of XML Pull Parser.
You may download tests for SC00.
We have packed the required jar files and source files needed to execute the tests
(the results of our tests are also included).

All our paper are now gathered in one common location under XGWS.
SOAP RMI 1.0, is our old implementation of RMI based on nanoSOAP - a simple SOAP v1.0 serialization and deserialization mechanism. SOAP RMI uses an XML-Schema specification of the server interface to generate the associated stubs and skeletons. A remote object reference is an HTTP URL along with information that uniquely identifies the instance. The stubs and skeletons do not directly interact with the SOAP implementation, but instead use a communication object which is an abstraction that helps hide the underlying implementation of SOAP. This design is useful as it allows run-time insertion of different SOAP implementations.
If you are interested you can take a look at our stubCompiler this is specialized for SoapRMI 1.0.
Our old implementation of SOAPRMI is available.
It uses SOAP 1.0 serialization but is not fully

For convenience, let $X$ be our space.
Specifically, can anyone name a few desirable properties or theorems that would fail if $X$ weren't required to be open? More generally, is there a part of topology that would completely fall apart?
It seems to me that we mainly want closure under arbitrary unions and finite intersections, which appears to be the more natural part of the definition (unlike "forcing" $\varnothing$ and $X$ to be open, which feels rather contrived). Of course, we get the empty set for free if we take an arbitrary union of nothing ($\bigcup \varnothing = \varnothing$), so that part really doesn't need to be in the definition.
Let's define a new word: A tolology on $X$ is a subset of $\mathcal P(X)$ that is closed under arbitrary unions and finite intersections. By the to(p/l)ological closure of a set I'm referring to the smallest to(p/l)ology containing it.
Let $\mathscr T$ be a topology on $X$ and consider $\mathscr T' = \mathscr T \setminus \{X\}$. If $\bigcup \mathscr T' = X$, then closure under arbitrary unions forces us to throw $X$ back in anyway, so the topological closure coincides with the tolological closure, nothing interesting here. Otherwise (this is what bothers me), we have $\bigcup \mathscr T' \subsetneq X$, then $\mathscr T'$ is still closed under arbitrary unions and finite intersections, so it's a tolology but not a topology. But throwing in $X$ adds nothing to the richness of the to(p/l)ology at all.
In fact, let's say $\bigcup \mathscr T' \subsetneq X$. Then the topological closure of $\mathscr T'$ is $\mathscr T$, but we still have a pretty boring space. For, if $\left|X \setminus \bigcup \mathscr T' \right| = 1$, then our space is not $T_1$, and if $\left|X \setminus \bigcup \mathscr T' \right| \geq 2$, then it's not even $T_0$. (Actually, any $T_1$ space must satisfy $\bigcup \mathscr T' = X$ by definition, and that probably covers just about every theorem in topology.)
Since un-requiring $X$ to be open doesn't give us any fewer theorems than we already have, and those spaces whose topology and tolology are different are as uninteresting as it gets, why can't we replace the definition of topology with that of tolology for simplicity's sake?
The only argument I can think of against this is that the first Kuratowski closure axiom says $\overline \varnothing = \varnothing$, so $\varnothing$ is closed, which means $X$ is open. But why do we need that first axiom?

Rupert Murdoch just announced he is divorcing his wife Wendi Deng after 14 years of marriage.
The news made us think of that epic moment when Murdoch was testifying before a British Parliament committee about the News of the World phone hacking scandal when all of a sudden a man with a plate of shaving cream pie headed straight for the News Corp CEO.
Deng quickly intervened and forcefully attacked the man — swatting the pie out of his hands — before he could reach her husband.
The Telegraph's Jame Kirkup was in the room at the time and wrote of the incident:
"First, she swung a slap at her husband's attacker. She followed up by picking up the plate and trying to strike him with it. And then she moved back to her husband. Sitting on the table before him, she started to clear the foam from his face, sometimes embracing him, holding his bald head in her arms."
No one can say she didn't have her husband's back. You go, Wendi.

4842.0.55.001 - Overweight and Obesity in Adults in Australia: A Snapshot, 2007–08

One in four Australian adults obese
One in four Australians aged 18 years and over were obese in 2007-08, according to figures released today by the Australian Bureau of Statistics.
Since 1995, the rate of obesity has risen from 19% to 24%, with men gaining weight faster than women.
There were just as many people overweight (37%) as there were people of normal weight (37%) in 2007-08, a slight shift from 1995 when there were more people of normal weight (41%) than there were people overweight (38%).
Rates of obesity were related to a number of environmental and socio-economic conditions:
The consequences of this level of overweight and obesity are increased risks of chronic health conditions, increased health service use and increased mortality.
More details can be found in Overweight and Obesity in Adults in Australia: A Snapshot (cat. no. 4842.0.55.001).

Life is Fitting Gomes Like a Glove
Got to be honest here, was not sure how the start of this week was going to shake out for me. It was a strange and unusual experience for me to wander past the Tampa Bay Rays Home Clubhouse and summons someone from within the Visitor's Clubhouse, especially at 11 am. The guy I wanted to see was already working out and visiting with Rays staffers he had befriended in his years with the team.
I was on a personal fact-finding moral imperative type mission. Well, I did have to pull a string or two with someone outside the Rays media department, but it was for a really good cause. Besides a few Spring Training games and spotting him in off-the-field locales before his team moved their Spring home to Arizona, I had missed chatting with this player.
I used to make a special effort to walk down to the dugout rail before games and chat with this guy whenever possible, heck I am even writing this blog wearing his Rays batting gloves just for effect. Monday was the first time I would get an honest chance to interact with my favorite all-time Rays player.
I was hoping to catch up a bit on his life since he removed his last Rays blue jersey. Wondered to myself if he still had that specially made Rays robe, or still has a savoring palate for Patron Tequila or victory cigars. Wondered if he still has his home in the Jungle Prada section of St. Petersburg, or if he had finally found what he was always running full speed towards in life.
I made sure to bring a small finely chilled token of my past beverage alliance knowing that this guy always got a kick out of consuming mass quantities of energy drinks. When I was with Pepsi, I used to bring cases of energy drinks to this Tasmanian Devil whirling dervish. Fitting that the drink he really responded to most was the old Mountain Dew AMP Superman, but what else would satisfy a guy who always seemed as animated as a cartoon character.
I daydreamed back for a moment to his Rays image as a bit of a free spirit on adrenaline that always was there to poured beer or Patron for his teammates and Rays Manager Joe Maddon during the Rays 2008 post season. Remembering again very vividly a guy who sported the Rays-hawk with ceremonial pride, shaving off his usual curly locks.
Was not sure if I was about to meet the Seminole Hard Rock late night patron that was the life of the party. Instead I was greeted with a firm handshake of a mature Jonny Gomes. His world had changed dramatically since Game 5.5 of the 2008 World Series.
He had left the team he always dreamed of playing his entire career with, and ventured into a entirely new color scheme. Gone were the youthful aspirations of running into a WWE ring, offset by the golden wedding ring on his finger.
He has finally found her, and she grounded him. He had become a father to an adorable daughter, and was anxious for her to grow up and achieve great things. His past animated character still shined through, but his excitement now was filled with career security and sheer adulation for his little one
I stood there and listened for a bit and gained a huge new respect and admiration for the transformed Gomes. I got a great new energy vibe from Jonny and wanted only success on and off the field for him. I did not want to leave, wanted to stay there and hear more and more about Cincinnati, 5-way Chili and the ever expanding Gomes galaxy.
But I unfortunately had to get back to my own daily routine, but made sure to return the firm and hearty handshake to the guy who found his answers away from the confines of the Trop. As I began to leave I turned and told him I was proud of his success both in life and on the field. Reminded him that he would only hear cheers where Carl Crawford heard jeers in his return to his "first home".and wished him a great series.
Gomes ended going 3-10 against his old squad, starting the series by launching a vintage Gomes shot to Leftfield off of Jeremy Hellickson on Monday night. He was also on base when Reds catcher Ryan Hanigan connected off of James Shields to win the get-away Wednesday afternoon contest.
As I sat there and watched as Gomes rounded Third Base, it reminded me of just how far he has come in less than 3 M L B seasons. From a instable career foundation with the Rays to a solid base with the Reds. Going from late night reveler to late night bottle butler. From a lady's man to a devoted husband. All changes that fit him perfectly….like an old Batting Glove.

Lea Michele?s Velvet Hair Bow Is Officially Your Next Holiday Party Look
Hair accessories blew up last season with hair clips and headbands making a huge comeback. And it looks like they're not going anywhere. Take Lea Michele's hair bow, for example. Yesterday, the singer/actress hit up Kohl's "New Gifts at Every Turn" holiday shopping event in New York City, where she posed with Emma Roberts and Becca Tobi, all wearing Jason Wu for Kohl's. Michele also sang holiday songs for the crowd in her cute black dress and black velvet bow courtesy of hairstylist Sarah Potempa.
Potempa, who is also the founder of Beachwaver tools and haircare, shared Michele's look to her Instagram, where she revealed a cut was also part of the flirty style. "I first gave her a clean, blunt haircut (see my stories!), then curled under w/ @thebeachwaver S1.25 and then pulled the front layers back and added a velvet bow!" she wrote. Meredith Baraf was responsible for her holiday-ready makeup. Source: Instagram
If you follow Potempa on Instagram, you might have seen her take a few inches off Michele?s hair, which was really satisfying to watch. She removed the layers from the length and gave her a trendy blunt cut before curling it with Beachwaver's S1.25-Dual Voltage Rotating Curling Iron ($129 at Ulta). The velvet bow was the pièce de résistance.

Educuase ECAR Student on Undergraduate Students and Information Technology, 2013. This recent version of the annual survey has lots of good information about students and their technology use. A few things jumped out at me in light of all of the talk about various types eLearning teaching/learning options.
- A little less that 70% of college students have taken a blended learning course (A course with a mix of web based learning and face-to-face teaching).
- Few students have taken a MOOC (Massive Open Online Course). Less than 5% in most college categories.
- Students are more prepared for "mobile learning" than most colleges (using smart phones, tablets, or laptops to consume course content)
Blended learning, whether a straight up mix of traditonal lecture and web assisted instruction or a strict formula of so many class sessions and so many virtual session, seems to be pretty common place. There are several leading vendors in this space and most colleges use one or the other. Four year colleges (not for profit)seem to allow faculty decide how far they want to go with incorporating digital content into courses. often the IT department does not know how much the faculty are leveraging the technology. This comes too close to an academic freedom issue. That siad, i cannot think of a college that does not have a learning managment system in place. We are afraid not to do so. The LMS is now one of many expected technologies that both students and faculty members just think needs to be there - like email and wireless. Even a small campus can expect to pay over $100,000 a year for an LMS. So where is the strategic use of the LMS being discussed. I think that for the most part this is not happening at non-profit colleges. As a result we just don't know if its cost effective or contributing anything to the learning experience. BTW, I personally think that a well leveraged LMS can enhance any class and probably lead to greater learning. Although I have this hunch, most schools just don't know. No strategy and no outcomes assessment.
MOOCs are intriguing. They are noted in the education press and the New York Times almost daily. Legislators are looking very hard at the MOOC to reduce seat time, reduce time to degree,reduce facilities costs, increase graduation rates, and lower the cost of a college degree. These are pretty high expectations. As MOOC providers refine their deliver methods, most colleges are trying to figure out whether they are in or out of the discussion. Frankly, most are out and will be out. Another hunch, I think MOOCS are more about access than a replacement for traditonal instruction. I can see MOOCs playing a large role in continuing education for various professionals. The concept already exists, just on a smaller scale. I can also see MOOCs provding access to the higher education in the larger global community. Most surveys show that MOOCs are being embraced more quickly outside the US. The MOOC may also be a viable alternative to the traditonal masters degree program offered by many colleges. Perhaps not in every discipline, but certainly in education, the social science, and business.
- Most students have at least one mobile device. This could be a smart phone (78%), a tablet (18%), or a laptop (90+%). I don't see colleges leveraging this. Students access the LMS, but that's about it. There are a few small exceptions in allied health, education and sciences, but I think these prevalence is exagerated. There are lots of opportunities, but smaller levels of adoption. I am not seeing specialty software for the disciplines and certainly don't see colleges developing their own mobile tools. This is slow moving. We will see adoption of mobile in student and academic services before we see it to any degree in the classroom. That said, if faculty can create opportunities to exploit mobile technology, students are ready for it. Again, a case where the students are ready, but the academy is lagging behind.
In summary, I think that we are still at the start of using technology in education. We have many tools for teaching and learning both in the traditonal classroom and outside of it. I do not see a strategic push on most non-profit campuses. I think we are still in a bit of a wait and see place right now. Students seem very ready to embrace eLearning, at least as a part of their education. Colleges seem to playing wait and see.

Electronic attack (EA) or electronic countermeasures (ECM) involves the use of the electromagnetic energy, or anti-radiation weapons to attack personnel, facilities, or equipment with the intent of degrading, neutralizing, or destroying enemy combat capability and is considered a form of fires (see Joint Publication [JP] 3-09, Joint Fire Support). EA operations can be detected by an adversary due to their active transmissions. Many modern EA techniques are considered to be highly classified.

After a little research I haven't found anything about that.

About the EMP: Well, ye this technology might exist, still there's no proof that it was used on 9/11. What is missing here is the smoking gun just like 10 people claiming that they were filming on 9/11 and at the moment of the "second impact" their cameras were just screwed up.
I understand your point that the pentagon would of course use such technology if needed, but still I can't see any concrete evidence. So I'm still not so much into these EMP speculations

You don't like one of this forums' foundational theories/conclusions? Post objective evidence likely to convince the neutral reader. Otherwise, take your boring, unsupported, amorphous doubts elsewhere, please. And stop using smilies that are emotionally inconsistent with the preceding sentence.
By the way, there are many reports of folks whose cameras just 'happened' to fail at the time of the 'attacks'. You might make a little bit of a research effort before burdening us with this word salad.
I just watched september clues once again and theres just "It's a fact that cellphones didn't work that day". Well, yea it's likely that communication networks just broke because of an overflow, but cameras? Wheres the proof?

A couple of years ago there was a news story about residents living close to a local prison who were complaining about their cell phones being jammed, because the authorities at the nearby prison were activating this technology to prevent the inmates from using smuggled in cell phones.
Someone (on this forum) has called this a 'stupid' assertion.

- 1 What is the Arch Build System?
- 2 Why would I want to use ABS?
- 3 Walkthrough
What is the Arch Build System?
The Arch Build System (ABS for short) is a 'ports-like' system for building and packaging software from source code. While pacman is the specialized Arch tool for binary package management (including packages built with the ABS), ABS is a collection of tools for compiling source into installable Template:Filename packages.
What is a ports-like system?
'Ports' is a system used by *BSD, which allows source packages to be downloaded, unpacked, patched, compiled and installed. A 'port' is merely a small directory on the user's computer, named after the corresponding software to be installed, which contains a few script files with instructions for downloading and installing an application from source (typically by navigating to the directory, or port, and doing 'make' and 'make install'). The system will then download, compile and install the desired software.
ABS is a similar concept
ABS is made up of a directory tree (the ABS tree) residing under Template:Filename. This tree contains many subdirectories, each within a category and each named by their respective package. This tree represents (but does not contain) all official Arch software, retrievable through the SVN system. You may refer to each package-named subdirectory as an 'ABS', much the way one would refer to a 'port'. These ABS (or subdirectories) do not contain the software package nor the source but rather a PKGBUILD file (and sometimes other files). A PKGBUILD is a simple BASH build script -- a text file containing the compilation and packaging instructions as well as the URL of the appropriate source tarball to be downloaded. (The most important component of ABS are PKGBUILDs.) By issuing the ABS makepkg command, the software is first compiled and then packaged within the build directory before being installed. Now you may use pacman, the Arch Linux package manager, to install, upgrade, and remove your new package.
ABS overview
'ABS' may be used as an umbrella term, since it includes and relies on several other components. Therefore, though not technically accurate, 'ABS' can refer to the following tools as a complete toolkit:
- The ABS tree
- The ABS directory structure; an SVN hierarchy under Template:Filename on your (local) machine. It contains many subdirectories, named for all available official Arch Linux software from repositories specified in Template:Filename, but not the packages themselves. The tree is created after installing the
abspackage with pacman and subsequently running the
- PKGBUILDs
- Text build script files residing under the ABS directories, or that are custom made, with instructions for building packages and the URL of the sources.
- makepkg
- ABS shell command tool which reads the PKGBUILDs, automatically downloads and compiles the sources and creates a Template:Filename, according to the PKGEXT= array in Template:Filename
Related Tools
- pacman
- pacman is completely separate, but is necessarily invoked either by makepkg or manually, to install and remove the built packages and for fetching dependencies.
- The Arch User Repository is separate from ABS but AUR ([unsupported]) PKGBUILDs can be built using the ABS makepkg tool to compile and package up software. The AUR contains many thousands of user-contributed PKGBUILDs for software which is unavailable as an official Arch package. If you need to build a package outside the official Arch tree, chances are it is in the AUR.
Why would I want to use ABS?
The Arch Build System is used to:
- Compile or recompile a package, for any reason
- Make and install new packages from source of software for which no packages are yet available (see Creating Packages)
- Customize existing packages to fit your needs (enabling or disabling options, patching)
- Rebuild your entire system using your compiler flags, "a la FreeBSD" (e.g. with pacbuilder)
- Cleanly build and install your own custom kernel (see Custom Kernel Compilation with ABS as well as Kernel Compilation)
- Get kernel modules working with your custom kernel
- Easily compile and install a newer, older, beta, or development version of an Arch package by editing the version number in the PKGBUILD
ABS is not necessary to use Arch Linux, but it is useful for automating certain tasks of source compilation.
With the ABS tree in place, an Arch user has all available Arch software at their fingertips to compile from source, automatically package as a Template:Filename or Template:Filename, and finally, install with pacman.
Quick overview
Install the ABS package with Template:Codeline. Running Template:Codeline as root creates the ABS tree by synchronizing with the Arch Linux server. If you wanted to build a package from source you would copy the build files (usually residing under Template:Filename) to a build directory, navigate to that directory, edit the PKGBUILD (if desired/necessary) and do makepkg. According to instructions in the PKGBUILD, makepkg will download the appropriate source tarball, unpack it, patch if desired, compile according to CFLAGS specified in Template:Filename, and finally compress the built files into a package with the extension Template:Filename or Template:Filename. PKGBUILDs may be customized to suit your unique configuration needs, or for applying patches. Installing is as easy as doing Template:Codeline. Package removal is also handled by pacman.
You may also use makepkg to make your own custom packages from the AUR or third-party sources. (See the Creating Packages wiki article.)
To use abs, you first need to install abs from the [extra] repository. This can be done simply by:
# pacman -S abs
This will grab the abs-sync scripts, various build scipts, and rsync (as a dependency, if you don't already have it).
Before you can actually build anything, however, you will also need to grab basic compiling tools. These are handily collected in the package group base-devel. This group can be installed with:
# pacman -S base-devel
As root, edit Template:Filename to include your desired repositories:
# vim /etc/abs.conf
# nano /etc/abs.conf
Remove the ! in front of the appropriate repos, e.g.:
REPOS=(core extra community !testing)
Download the ABS tree
As root, run:
# abs
Your ABS tree is now created under Template:Filename. Note the appropriate branches of the ABS tree now exist and correspond to the ones you specified in Template:Filename.
The abs command should be run periodically to keep in sync with the official repositories. Individual ABS package files can also be downloaded with:
# abs <repository>/<package>
Template:Filename specifies global environment variables and compiler flags which you may wish to edit if you are using an SMP system, or to specify other desired optimizations. The default settings are for i686 and x86_64 optimizations which will work fine for those architectures on single-CPU systems. (The defaults will work on SMP machines, but will only use one core/CPU when compiling -- see makepkg.conf.)
The ABS tree
When you run Template:Codeline for the first time, it synchronizes the ABS tree on the Arch Linux server to your computer. The ABS tree is an SVN directory hierarchy located under Template:Filename and looks like this:
| -- core/ | || -- base/ | || || -- acl/ | || || || -- PKGBUILD | || || -- attr/ | || || || -- PKGBUILD | || || -- ... | || -- devel/ | || || -- abs/ | || || || -- PKGBUILD | || || -- autoconf/ | || || || -- PKGBUILD | || || -- ... | || -- ... | -- extra/ | || -- daemons/ | || || -- acpid/ | || || || -- PKGBUILD | || || || -- ... | || || -- apache/ | || || || -- ... | || || -- ... | || -- ... | -- community/ | || -- ...
The ABS tree has exactly the same structure as the package database:
- First-level: Category directories
- Second-level: Package name directories
- Third level: PKGBUILD (contains information needed to build a package) and other related files (patches, other files needed for building the package)
The source code for the package is not present in the ABS directory. Instead, the PKGBUILD file contains a URL that will download the source code when the package is built.
Create a build directory
It is recommended to create a build directory where the actual compiling will take place; you should never modify the ABS tree by building within it, as data will be lost (overwritten) on each ABS update. It is good practice to use your home directory, though some Arch users prefer to create a 'local' directory under Template:Filename, owned by a normal user.
Create your build directory. e.g.:
$ mkdir -p $HOME/abs
Copy the ABS from the tree (Template:Filename) to the build directory, Template:Filename.
Traditional method of compiling software, without ABS
If you are not familiar with manually compiling software from source, you should know that most packages (but not all) can be built from source in this traditional way:
- Download source tarball from remote server, using web browser, ftp, wget or alternate method.
- Decompress the source file:
$ tar -xzf foo-0.99.tar.gz
$ tar -xjf foo-0.99.tar.bz2
- Enter the directory:
$ cd foo-0.99
- Configure the package. Generally, there is a script called Template:Filename in the source directory that is used to configure the package (add or remove support for things, choose the install destination, etc.) and check that your computer has all the software needed by the package. It can be run by:
$ ./configure [option]
You should first try the help to better understand how it works:
$ ./configure --help
If a Template:Codeline option is not passed to the script, most scripts will use Template:Filename as the install path, but others will use Template:Filename. For the sake of consistency, it is generally advised to pass the Template:Codeline option. It is good practice to install personal programs in Template:Filename, and to have the ones being managed by the distro in Template:Filename. This ensures personal program versions can coexist with those being managed by the distro's package manager -- in Arch's case, pacman.
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local
- Compile the sources:
$ make
- Install:
# make install
- Removal would be accomplished by entering the source directory and running:
# make uninstall
However, you should always read the Template:Filename file to know how the package should be built and installed! Not all packages use the
configure; make; make install system!
The build function, the ABS way
ABS is an elegant tool which allows for powerful assistance and customization for the build process and creates a pacman-trackable package file for installation. The ABS method involves copying an ABS from the tree to a build directory, and doing makepkg. In our example, we will build the slim display manager package.
Copy the slim ABS from the ABS tree to a build directory:
$ cp -r /var/abs/extra/slim/ ~/abs
Navigate to the build directory:
$ cd ~/abs/slim
Modify the PKGBUILD to add or remove support for components, to patch or to change package versions, etc. (optional):
$ nano PKGBUILD
Run makepkg as normal user (with Template:Codeline switch to install with automatic dependency handling):
$ makepkg -s
Install as root:
# pacman -U slim-1.3.0-2-i686.pkg.tar.xz
That's it. You have just built slim from source and cleanly installed it to your system with pacman. Package removal is also handled by pacman -- (Template:Codeline).
Essentially, the same steps are being executed as described in the traditional method (generally including the
./configure, make, make install steps) but the software is installed into a fake root environment. (A fake root is simply a subdirectory within the build directory that functions and behaves as the system's root directory. In conjunction with the fakeroot program, makepkg creates a fake root directory, and installs the compiled binaries and associated files into it, with root as owner.) The fake root, or subdirectory tree containing the compiled software, is then compressed into an archive with the extension Template:Filename, or a package. When invoked, pacman then extracts the package (installs it) into the system's real root directory (Template:Filename). Simple.
The ABS method adds a level of convenience and automation, while still maintaining complete transparency and control of the build and installation functions by including them in the PKGBUILD.

Right in the heart of the action on the pulsating Cote d'Azur
Nice boasts some of France's most golden beaches and also offers a lovely waterfront of superyachts. You will also find plenty of boutiques for super-shopping as well as trendy clubs and cocktail bars.
A must-see shopping experience in Nice is the morning flower market on Cours Saleya, which is an explosion of colour and scents – a lovely place to wander, even if you don't want to buy any flowers. For more Proven�al perfumes, try Molinard (20 rue St Fran�ois de Paule), a venerable, locally based company founded in 1849, whose flacons were designed by Lalique. For chic designer shops with wares at chic designer prices, head to the elegant "Carr� d'Or" area (between Boulevard Victor Hugo, Avenue Jean M�decin, Boulevard Gambetta and the Promenade des Anglais), while more affordable clothes and homewares may be found at the classic department store Galeries Lafayettes (6 avenue Jean M�decin).
Food & Drink
Nice is one of France's most cosmopolitan cities, and its eclecticism is reflected in the cuisine, with everything from fusion to North African on offer. Nice is also rich in local and regional specialities, and you can try these everywhere from fast-food joints (try the local Ni�oise speciality socca – a chickpea flour pancake) to sophisticated Michelin-starred eateries. Le Chantecler (37 Promenade des Anglais) has lavish wood-panelled interior and two stars, while Christian Plumail (54 boulevard Jean Jaur�s) has a Michelin star, yet a stunningly affordable lunch menu. For an even cheaper meal out, locals rate the simple, friendly Restaurant du Gesu (1 place du J�sus).
Nice's carnival celebrations last for a mammoth 15 days. Flower-strewn floats parade around the city, and on the Promenade des Anglais, elegant flower battles take place: extravagantly dressed locals ride on around 20 floats decorated with stunning floral displays, and throw out flowers (including around 20 tons of mimosa) into the crowds.
Gourd Festival
Held in the Jardins de Cimiez, this unique celebration of the gourd traditionally symbolises the end of winter with competitions, gourd-painting extravaganzas and gourd-based dishes.
F�te du Ch�teau
This free contemporary music festival takes place in Nice's ch�teau grounds and features funk, jazz, trip hop, Latin and rock acts, plus food and arts and craft stalls.
Nice Jazz Festival
One of Europe's most important jazz events, the annual Nice Jazz Festival has been running since 1948. It takes place on several separate stages on Place Mass�na, with many famous international names coming to perform here over the eight days, and featuring traditional and contemporary sounds.
Marathon des Alpes Maritimes
This annual regional marathon starts in Nice and wends along the coast road towards Cannes.
Take your pick from multiple luxurious seafront hotels in Nice, with drawcards such as rooftop terraces with views, private beaches and solariums. One such is the sumptuous belle-�poque Le Negresco (37 Promenade des Anglais), with room design ranging from Louis XIV to art deco, while the Radisson Blu H�tel (223 Promenade des Anglais) has an enticing rooftop pool. For those on a smaller budget, the central Brice H�tel (44 rue du Mar�chal-Joffre) has a garden, lemon and orange tree-shaded terrace, and attractive rooms. Even cheaper is the H�tel des Flandres (6 rue de Belgique), with bright rooms and a convenient location close to the train station and a short walk from the seafront.

Tina Fey and Sheryl Crow were honored in New York City on Monday at the 2010 Matrix Awards, but only one of them will walk away with a second honor – the winner of "Who Wore It Best."
Both ladies turned up in Dolce & Gabbana floral dresses at the event – dresses that appeared very similar.
The skirt portion of Tina and Sheryl's dresses had the same cut and floral pattern. The only difference in the dresses was their top portions. Sheryl wore a sheath dress, while Tina wore a V-neck.
While hitting the stage to receive their awards, given to honor outstanding women in the communications industry, the ladies joked about the coincidence.
"When I walked in, Tina Fey and I were wearing, um…" Sheryl said, as she pointed to Tina who stood up to show the crowd their clothing similarities. "She was quick to say we will end up on the 'Who Wears It Best' list.
"I'm voting on Tina, being flat chested as I am, I feel certain she's gonna be the [winner]," Sheryl laughed.
Tina, however, returned the favor, throwing her support behind Sheryl's sexy frame.
"We are wearing a very similar dress. So if you want to see what this dress looks like on a ripped, surfer body…" Tina said, pointing to Sheryl as the crowd laughed. "Or, you can wear it with a sweater!"
As for Dolce & Gabbana, they sent out the requisite press release to all media, without acknowledging the awkwardness of the fashion faux pas.

Before I say anything else in this post I will say that I am and have for the longest time been a fan of Olly Moss. Heck, I own nearly all of his Threadless prints and even own multiple prints of SPOILT in both T-Shirt and hoodie form. Since 2003, Moss has had over 20 designs printed at Threadless. He seemingly has been everywhere, from Newsweek to exclusive Mondo prints to an article in the New York Times. Olly Moss is the IT boy, not only in T-Shirt design but poster design as well.
Having said that, his latest release over at Threadless is a bit lackluster, at least it is to me. The collection, released late last week, is a celebration of Moss' rise in popularity. The 4-piece collection epitomizes the concept of minimalism. Minimalism? Pfft?! I don't want no stinking minimalism when it comes to an exclusive Olly Moss / Threadless collection. Classic Olly Moss Threadless designs have three basic qualities: 1. they're fun, 2. they have a keen typographical style, and 3. they're … umm … minimalistic.
Don't get me wrong, each of the 4 designs fulfill 2 of the 3 qualities that I listed above. But what the heck happened to the FUN? Seeing these designs make me yearn for worthy follow ups to Spoilt, In Case of Zombies, and The Food Chain. Is it because it was made for the Threadless Select line? If so, then I'd wish it wasn't made for the Select line. I can appreciate artsy fartsy designs, but I want fun artsy fartsy designs that are exciting to look at.
If ever Threadless happens to pay homage to Glenn Jones (another favorite Threadless alumni of mine), I hope they do it properly … and for goodness sake, keep it out of the Select line!
The Olly Moss Select Collection is available now at Threadless for $36 a piece.
Full Dosclosure: I'm picking up 2 of the 4 designs. Can you guess which two?
