How to Add an Inventory Part to the Item List in QuickBooks 2012
Inventory parts are those items that appear on invoices and purchase orders and represent physical goods that you buy, hold, and sell. QuickBooks 2012 can help you track inventory parts. For example, if you're a retailer, all that stuff that's sitting out on the shelves of your store represents inventory. If you're a manufacturer, the raw materials that you buy and then use to assemble your products represent inventory.
To set up an inventory part, display the New Item window. When QuickBooks displays the window, select Inventory Part from the Type drop-down list. QuickBooks then displays the Inventory Part version of the New Item window.
Use the Item Name/Number box to provide a descriptive but brief code or name for the item. If the item is a subitem of some other parent item, select the Subitem Of check box and then identify the parent item by using the Subitem Of text box.
The Purchase Information and Sales Information boxes let you determine the information that appears on purchase orders and invoices. The Description On Purchase Transactions box in the Purchase Information area, for example, lets you provide the text that QuickBooks writes on purchase orders.
You can also guess at the purchase cost by using the Cost text box. Specify the Cost of Goods Sold account that should be debited when this item is sold by using the COGS Account drop-down list and identify the preferred vendor for purchases of this item by using the Preferred Vendor box.
The Sales Information boxes provide the information that QuickBooks needs to correctly include the item on an invoice. The Description On Sales Transactions box provides a space that you can use to supply the description that QuickBooks should use for this item on your invoice.
The Sales Price box enables you to provide your price for the item. If you're subject to sales tax, you see (and should use!) the Tax Code drop-down list to specify whether the item is taxable or non-taxable for sales tax purposes. Finally, the Income Account drop-down list lets you specify which income account should be credited when this item is sold.
If you're confused about seeing three Account drop-down lists on the Inventory Part version of the New Item window, keep in mind that when you sell an item, you track the income by crediting an income account and the cost of goods sold by debiting the Cost of Goods Sold account.
Use the Inventory Information boxes to describe how QuickBooks should handle inventory tracking for the item.
For example, use the Asset Account drop-down list to specify which account QuickBooks should use to track the dollar investment in this item. Typically, you use the Inventory Asset account. However, you can conceivably use some other asset account.
Use the Reorder Point box to identify the inventory stocking level at which you want QuickBooks to alert you to reorder the item. If you have inventory on hand for this item, enter the quantity that you have on hand and the value that you have on hand by using the On Hand and the Total Value boxes. You also specify the date as of which your quantity and value information is correct by using the As Of box.
You really shouldn't be entering inventory balances for an inventory item when you set it up on the Item list. You should be entering or changing inventory quantities and values when you purchase the inventory (recorded with the Create Purchase Orders window or the Write Checks window) and when you sell the inventory (typically recorded with the Create Invoices window or the Sales Receipts window).
If you enter a quantity other than zero or a total value other than zero when using the New Item window, you also need to make a journal entry to record the other half of the transaction. If this "other half" business sounds complicated: You should not be entering quantity or value information in this window.
If you do understand this "other half" business, you should know better than to enter quantity or value information in the New Item window!
You can click the Spelling button to check the spelling of words and phrases that you've entered in the New Item window. You can also click the Next button to save the information that you've entered for an item and redisplay the New Item window so you can add another item.

Tesla Motors Inc. shares soared in after-hours trading after the Palo Alto automaker reported a surprise operating profit in its automotive operations.
Excluding one-time expenses, the maker of high-end electric cars squeezed out an operating profit of $26 million, beating analysts' expectations. That sent Tesla shares soaring 13% to $151.25 in after-hours trading. Tesla announced its results after the stock market closed.
The operating profit was driven by record sales of Tesla Model S hatchback and improvements in its automotive operations. Moreover, Tesla ended the quarter with almost $750 million in cash and no government debt, having paid off a federal development loan this year.
"Our financial position and balance sheet have never been stronger," Chief Executive Elon Musk said in a letter to shareholders.
Still, Tesla reported an overall $30.5-million loss in the second quarter. That compared with a loss of $105.6 million in the same quarter last year, when it was just beginning production of the Model S.
The earnings reported nonetheless was greeted as a victory by analysts and investors.
"Tesla is no DeLorean," said Thilo Koslowski, an analyst at Gartner Inc. "This is not going to be a one-day wonder. They are doing everything right. Tesla is razor-sharp focused on its execution."
The automaker said it continues to redesign "elements" of the Model S to increase ease of manufacturing and achieve other cost savings.
Tesla, which is attempting to become the first successful U.S. automotive start-up in nearly a century, started selling its sport sedan about a year ago. The price starts at $63,570 and climbs to well above $100,000 if a customer springs for a larger battery that extends the vehicle's range.
Revenue jumped to $405.1 million from $26.7 million a year earlier, just after the Model S was released. The automaker had previously sold a Roadster sports car model but halted production before launching the Model S.
"Tesla continues to prove that there is a market for electric vehicles among luxury buyers," said Alec Gutierrez, senior analyst at Kelley Blue Book. "As the electric vehicle manufacturer achieves economies of scale, and battery costs continue to come down, expect to see profitability improve."
The automaker earned its first profit, an $11.2 million gain, in the first quarter of this year.
Tesla also gained from it sales of special California zero emission credits to other automakers, but not as much as earlier in the year. Sales of such credits fell to $51 million in the latest period from $68 million in the first quarter.
Tesla makes money selling the credits — earned from the sale of electric cars — to other automakers that must satisfy California's environmental regulations. It also sold about $18 million in other regulatory credits during the quarter.
Tesla builds the Model S at a factory in Fremont, Calif., where it plans to also make the Model X — an electric SUV built on the same platform and sharing much of the technology — starting next year.
"We are hard at work on the Model X, refining the design and expect to have a small number of units at the end of next year," Musk said. But the vehicle won't go into mass production until 2015.
Musk said he also plans to bring out a less expensive electric car that will sell in much greater numbers than either the Model S or the planned Model X.
"I have high confidence we can create a compelling car for around the $35,000 range," Musk said. "There's a huge amount of work, but no miracles required."
During the last quarter, the automaker improved its production rate 25% to almost 500 vehicles a week from 400, Musk said.
Tesla delivered 5,150 cars during the quarter, significantly surpassing its own estimate of 4,500 sales. It also made several hundred more Model S cars to use as service loaners, for test drives and to sell in Europe this quarter.
Musk said Tesla is doing final assembly and testing of vehicles at a manufacturing facility in Tilburg, Netherlands.

December 6th, 2012
The Bay Area Reporter
Few neighborhoods in our city - indeed, in our country - approach the Castro's cultural significance. Particularly for the LGBT community - but for many others as well - this wonderful neighborhood represents so many of our community's aspirations of equality, acceptance, and forging a life for oneself.
The Castro has seen its fortunes rise and fall over the years, from the highs of the 1970s to the devastating impact of HIV/AIDS in the 1980s to the strengthening of our community with the advent of protease inhibitors in the 1990s. Today, the Castro's future is bright, yet challenging. The neighborhood's fundamental strengths remain, and our challenge is to retain those strengths even as inevitable change comes to the neighborhood. Here are a few thoughts on the state of the Castro and its future:
Continued economic vibrancy
The Castro's economy, like the rest of the nation, has had some rough years, but things are looking up. Many in the neighborhood are frustrated with commercial vacancies - and particularly a few long-term notable vacancies - but the numbers tell a positive economic story.
A few Sundays ago, I did perhaps the ultimate nerdy district supervisor thing and walked the neighborhood - from Diamond to Church and Duboce to 19th - compiling a list of new businesses that have opened in the last two years and of vacancies. The result: 35 businesses have come into the neighborhood in the past two years, 33 of which were new businesses (as opposed to existing businesses changing location) and only one of which was formula retail. In addition, only 15 vacancies persist out of hundreds of ground-floor commercial spaces. Of those 15 vacancies, several likely will be filled in the coming months.
In other words, businesses want to come here, and the new businesses that are coming here are overwhelmingly local. We need to fill the remaining vacancies and ensure that the neighborhood retains its local-business flavor. If the past predicts anything, the future is positive on this front.
New housing and the need for housing options
Housing is way too expensive in the Castro. Rents are through the roof, which means that young people struggle to come here and longtime residents struggle to stay here. Nearly 2,000 units of new housing are slated for the Upper Market area in the next several years. This housing will have retail on the ground floor, and the housing and retail will create significant new foot traffic and urban vibrancy, particularly between Sanchez and Octavia. This change will bring new jobs and life into that stretch of Market Street. We are working hard to ensure that the new housing is diverse and not just high-end condos. Several of the projects are rentals, and we will see quite a few new affordable units. For example, the 55 Laguna project will add 160 affordable units, 110 of which will be for lower-income LGBT seniors. We need to add different sizes of units, including larger family units and smaller units for the many single people who live here. I'd also like to see housing for transition-age youth built in Upper Market, and I hope that Larkin Street and other youth organizations will consider the neighborhood for that type of housing.
The addition of new housing and retail also means an even greater need to expand Muni's capacity and improve its reliability. Muni is struggling to meet current neighborhood demand. With a growing population, we must prioritize Muni's maintenance, reliability, and capacity.
Improving our public realm
While the Castro has wonderful parks at its edges, the neighborhood has remarkably little usable public space. Harvey Milk Plaza is poorly designed and doesn't honor its namesake with a wonderful and safe public gathering space. Jane Warner Plaza is terrific but small. While the Castro is one of the most pedestrian-focused neighborhoods in the city, Castro Street's sidewalks are embarrassingly narrow.
Here, too, the future is positive. I've secured funding to widen the Castro Street sidewalks from Market to 19th from the current 12 feet to 18 or 19 feet. Many of us are committed to a fundamental redesign of Harvey Milk Plaza. There's also a strong commitment to upgrading Jane Warner Plaza. We can and will improve the Castro's public spaces.
Embracing the Castro's LGBT cultural significance
Change brings uncertainty, including for our neighborhood's LGBT cultural identity. We need to continue the neighborhood's strong connection to the LGBT community. The GLBT History Museum was an excellent recent addition, and I've been proud to support the museum in the budget process and otherwise. I'm excited about the San Francisco AIDS Foundation's planned HIV health center (at the current Superstar Video space), which will be a larger version of Magnet combined with the Stop AIDS Project and the Stonewall Project. Castro County Club has come back from the brink and is a unique sober space for our community. The LGBT Community Center is a critical resource for many. LYRIC continues to serve LGBT young people, and I hope that at some point it will remain open later to provide a safe evening space for youth. LGBT nightlife in the Castro is flourishing and provides an important connection to the neighborhood for many LGBT people.
Do we have challenges as a neighborhood? Yes. Are we working to meet them? Absolutely, and our neighborhood's future is a bright one.

Kale with Homemade Pickled Ginger
Kale with pickled ginger is one of the healthiest and tastiest ways to get a meal packed with iron. I made my own pickled ginger and an Asian-inspired salad dressing with lemongrass, miso and sesame oil. The result is the perfect condiment for boiled kale.
The reason I've been trying to make iron-rich meals lately is that my sister-in-law, Sunny, was diagnosed with iron deficiency. It's a fairly common problem that primarily affects women. She had trouble with the iron pills, so it was suggested to us that we make her foods that are rich in iron. Because of this, I've been trying to cook more with kale.
If you have any suggestions, please do share! Sunny will thank you.
Yields: 6 servings2-½ pounds fresh kale
1 (8-inch) chunk fresh ginger
2-½ tablespoons superfine sugar (or granulated sugar)
1-3/4 teaspoons kosher salt
½ cup rice vinegar (or any white vinegar)
1 teaspoon fresh lemongrass purée (see tips)
1 teaspoon white miso paste
1 tablespoon ponzu soy sauce
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
¼ teaspoon wasabi paste
2 teaspoons lime juice
1 clove pickled garlic, finely minced
2-½ tablespoons honey
3 tablespoons peanut oil (or regular vegetable oil)
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
3 tablespoons sesame oil
1/8 teaspoon white pepper, freshly ground
The day before...
For the Asian salad dressing:
In a bowl, dissolve the honey in 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar. Add the mustard and wasabi paste. Set aside.
In a small saucepan, heat the peanut oil. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1-2 minutes until slightly golden. Set aside the garlic and garlic-infused oil separately.
Place the miso paste, lime juice and ¼ cup of water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then immediately lower the heat to a gentle simmer for about less than 2-3 minutes. The liquid should reduce to about a tablespoon of miso. Add the wasabi mixture. Remove from the heat. Add ponzu soy sauce and whisk in the peanut oil and sesame oil immediately while the juice is still hot. Add the pickled garlic and lemongrass. Finish with white pepper.
Making pickled ginger:
Clean the ginger, carefully removing any dirt. Peel the ginger root with a paring knife or the edge of a spoon. Cut the ginger into 1/16-inch thick slices, lengthwise, using a mandoline.
Layer a cooling rack on top of a cookie sheet (to collect all the excess moisture). Place the long ginger strips on the rack. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of kosher salt and let sit for about 20 minutes. Pat dry using a paper towel.
Place the superfine sugar and ¼ cup of water in a small saucepan. Place over medium heat and cook until the sugar is dissolved. Remove from the heat and add the remaining rice vinegar. Allow to cool completely.
Dip the softened ginger into boiling water for 10 seconds, drain and pat dry on a paper towel.
Place the ginger in a small jar. Cover with the rice vinegar mixture. Mix well. The ginger should be tightly packed and coated with the liquid. Let marinate for at least 12 hours.
The following day...
Cooking kale:
Wash the raw kale thoroughly in several baths. Remove and discard the fibrous and older part of the stems. Boil the kale in about 2 quarts of salted boiling water. Cook for about 7-10 minutes until tender, depending on how young the plant is. Check doneness by tasting the thickest center vein; it should be soft and tender. Drain and immediately transfer the greens into a cold water bath. Pat dry on a towel. Roughly chop the kale leaves. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of sesame oil. Set aside.
Assembly time:
Serve all the ingredients at room temperature. Finely slice the pickled ginger. Gather about 2-3 tablespoons of pickled ginger and add it to the kale. Add the reserved fried garlic and drizzle with the Asian inspired vinaigrette.
Serve at room temperature.
Bon appétit!
If you don't have kale on hand, you could use any other greens such as collard greens, mustard greens, cabbage, bok choy, spinach, Chinese cabbage, choy sum, sugar snap peas or broccoli.
I just bought a very sharp plastic mandoline at a Korean store that was very inexpensive compared to the ones you find online. If you don't own one, you can use a sharp chef's knife or a vegetable peeler.
For the lemongrass purée: Wash the lemongrass. Remove all the white powder from the leaves. Cut the stalk in half, discarding the younger part (reserve it for making broth). Cut the remaining stalk into extremely thin slices using a sharp chef's knife. In a mortar and pestle, grind the thin slices of lemongrass, then transfer and mix everything using a mini food processor. It should turn into a fine, moist powder. Set aside.
I buy white miso paste (shiro miso) at the Korean store. It's less salty than regular miso and it has a very smooth texture.
I buy lemongrass at an Asian market. It's less expensive than in regular stores and is sold by bulk in bunches of 5 stalks. So plan other dishes using lemongrass. It's a perennial. I asked Lulu (my husband) about it and he started to grow 4 "bushes" last year, so we keep getting some (especially during the summer), which is very convenient.
I use ponzu soy sauce; it's lemony and less salty than regular soy sauce.
You can use fresh garlic instead of the pickled garlic but the garlic flavor is going to be a lot stronger. You can find pickled garlic in Asian stores.
If you have leftover pickled ginger, make sashimi or sushi.Published By: on March 3, 2010.

Here are some concept sketches I made of the new Mono No Aware book. Trying to give the story a fitting book form was quite challenging. I wanted to be able to look at more than one page at the same time, even looking at a whole chapter in one go. I wanted not to be limited by the backwards-or-forwards flow of a bound book.
When I showed my concept to the printer, he said it was quite doable and added (of course) that he'd love to make this book. And based on his experience, he also offered me many great suggestions to make it even better... little genius things that I would've never even considered. So, as we speak, he's making a physical dummy using the actual paper and cover cardboard we're going to be printing on.
Holding a physical dummy feels like the best way to judge if a book will "work" as an object: to see it before you, feel it, pick it up, open it, leaf through it... in a way, you immediately feel if everything fits. I always end up making last minute changes when I have a model in my hands, and they've always been for the better.... I've learned never to rely solely on a sketch or a digital design. I've done it for YAKUZA, and now again for Mono No Aware.
But right now I only have these sketches. So I'm still a liiiiiittle tiny bit nervous until the dummy actually arrives and I can hold it :)
As you can see in the pictures, the inside of the book will consist of four chapters, each printed on a single long sheet of paper and folded like a harmonica. Each folded chapter will then be put inside its own "sleeve", not unlike an old LP record (remember those?). Around all that will be a folding page with the introduction text, keeping the book all together so the chapters can't fall out. In theory, it all sounds peachy pie, doesn't it?
Fingers crossed.
And now it just dawned on me: if everything goes well, we'll be at the presses in as little as two weeks. On my birthday, no less...
I guess I should start promoting the book soon :)
In the meantime, have a great weekend,

Renault's Koleos doesn't quite know what it is. This second-generation SUV from the French giant is also the second one built largely around the Nissan X-Trail, taking much of its mechanicals.

Beautiful+Modern Package Design
At MALIN+GOETZ we aim to keep things easy and uncomplicated. This philosophy is arguably best reflected in the design of our packaging. Our beautiful minimalist packaging was designed by the award-winning, New York-based multidisciplinary design studio 2x4. 2x4 works on innovative and groundbreaking projects for clients that span the worlds of art, architecture, fashion and culture.
Andrew Goetz first worked with 2x4 during his tenure at Vitra. He and Matthew initially approached 2x4 with an antique apothecary bottle and chemist's label as inspiration for the Malin+Goetz packaging concept. They worked in tandem with the 2x4 team to develop an updated version of this idea; modern both in an aesthetic sense but also in a way that made the brand simple to shop.
Colorful and focused on text, our packaging offers honest, straightforward insight into our trusted natural ingredients, similar to those found in the neighborhood apothecaries of old. Blue text identifies products for the face, green signifies body and red is for hair. Cleansers are the darker shades in each category and moisturizers are the lighter hues. Two easy, effective steps. Each bottle and jar is individually silk screened, providing a slightly tactile experience and a visual richness to the printed type. Gradation of the print on each bottle separates areas of information: description, usage, ingredients, etc. Yet, from a distance, it appears like a beautiful wave of color.
Since our humble beginnings, our chic products proudly line shelves around the world at luxury department stores, fashion stores, home and design shops, hotels, gyms, spas, salons and restaurants. In 2005, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art exhibited 2x4's work in "Design Series 3". This included MALIN+GOETZ with projects for other 2x4 clients such as Prada, the Brooklyn Museum, Princeton School of Architecture, Knoll Textiles, and Vitra. We hope you love our packaging as much as we do.

Yesterday's iPhone craze was widespread and well known. Ustreamers across the country covered the event live from NYC, to the Technology Evangelist at Mall of America in MN, Entercourse.TV in Dallas, to iPhone Ustreamers in San Fransisco, to ZooomrTV in Palo Alto CA, to our Ustreamers in Hawaii.
In total, over 70,000 viewers watched and participated LIVE in the launch of Apple's iPhone.
Special Congrats to the Benjamin Higgebotham and the Technology Evanagelist who were the FIRST Ustreamers to break 1,000 simultaneous viewers. One hour later ZooomrTV accomplished the same feat.
Ustream.TV CEO Chris Yeh says, "Ustream is delighted that we were able to support Ustreamers like Zooomr TV and Technology Evangelist in their coverage of the iPhone launch. We continue to be amazed by the resourcefulness, creativity, and talent of Ustreamers everywhere, and look forward to seeing what they do for future events. As I watched both CNBC on my TV, and Kris Tate on my laptop, I was struck by the impact of the democratization of TV. CNBC offers a centrally directed broadcast. Kris was answering questions from passers by and folks calling his cell phone. The two were very different, but very compelling in very different ways."
Duncan Riley of Techcrunch had a very insightful article on the power of Eventstreaming. They keenly recognized the power of the Ustream/Zooomr iPhone coverage writing "By comparison the Zooomr logo and brand were exposed to thousands (maybe even more) watching the Eventstream on Ustream, many of whom may never have heard of or used Zooomr before. Money could possibly buy that exposure, but it is well a truly beyond the reach of most. In marketing terms it was pure brilliance, and it will not go unnoticed.

Contemporary migration and its challenges.
In moments of levity, this writer presents himself as a "professional immigrant". Indeed, by choice or driven by vainly resisted forces, his life had to be repeatedly relocated. The experience of starting anew is as unpleasant as it is also valuable. In the aftermath of the recent US election, the migration experience became a recognized topic of significance.
Migration is not only a force that determined the US election. A new movement of peoples is tied to the appearance of unwelcome immigrations throughout the developed world. This new immigration, its political impact and its social consequences, will serve as a subject of future discussions.
Mankind's history is the record of migration. Some episodes are not mentioned because of the due emphasis given to the record in immigrant-shaped countries, such as the USA, Canada or Australia. Conveniently separated from the overall case of the movement of peoples is that history's migrations were also conquests. The correlation is so strong that we can talk about conquests that were immigrations carried out with other means. We should admit that the present's nations are located in territories that have been taken from their earlier inhabitants that were driven away, either assimilated under pressure, or annihilated. Any given land, even if it is now officially "our inherited historic homeland", has been at one point someone else' territory. To illustrate, consider the current owners of the real estate and the events in Europe, the Mediterranean and North Africa during the Dark Ages and the Muslim Conquest.
Equally as effective in creating today's political-ethnic map by the sword has been peaceful migration. As in the case of Kosovo, once the heart of historic Serbia, where under Ottoman rule the majority there became Albanian. This new demographic reality came about without the consent of the earlier majority because it lacked sovereignty. Ironically, what used to be southern Hungary became Serbian because the Crown let Serbs that fled Turkish misrule settle there. Frequently, after the individual trickle-in of settlers or their entry as organized groups, the land used by them became lost to the state that accepted them of its own volition. This process is an ongoing one and fuels disputes involving land that had traditional owners and the new majorities that claim it for them. The instances abound in which such antecedents are destined to become recognized issues once the new ethnic balance receives a separatist component.
Antidotes exist to such disputes. One of them is the grant of cultural autonomy and local self-government. This is an effective measure where the ethnic minority is a local majority with ancient roots. Even in Europe, some states see federalism and local autonomy as door openers to secession. Nevertheless, a federal response to what could otherwise have become secession, has often defused tension. No Finn in Sweden, no Swede in Finland, and none of the four nations that make up Switzerland, feel oppressed because he belongs to a minority. Going further we allege that, federalism is a key to the success of politically and economically thriving states and their system.
There are countries in which national success; immigration and the new settlers' rise are presented as intertwined issues. Indeed, this is a realistic assessment and not a PC –inspired slogan. In these instances, we find a conscious policy that regulated admissions and a clear expectation regarding the comportment of the entrant. That meant that pre-dating arrival, there was a will to adjust to the ways of the host and a desire to participate in success-strategies. It must be evident that learning the language of the majority was part of this adjustment.
The record shows that there are immigrations that do not share this attitude and reject the notion that immigration implies adherence to the "social contract" that governs the host. More than that, those that reject the values that regulate the societies to which they have applied for access set the comportment's tone. Beyond this imported hostility, one also finds a lack of imported skills that in their state of development the receiving economies need. From both of these barriers follow traits that hinder integration and we can talk about "resistant minorities." The resulting and intended creation of separate and thereby inassimilable groupings react to "rejection" by hating additionally the order around them. Being condemned to failure because of their attitudes leads to frustration. This dropping out before getting assimilated spurs to hostile acts against the majority and its order, which is blamed for failure.
The alternative, classical immigration has produced individuals that, through their will to exploit through creative adjustment existing opportunities, have created a growing middle class. For individuals this process meant upward social mobility. The process of personal upgrading facilitated the integration into the system that these individuals have chosen by settling in it.
Both in the classical countries of immigration, as well as in Europe, a new immigration is unfolding. The attraction is not in all cases the striving for opportunity but the lure of financial support that is allotted independently of the beneficiary' societal contribution. This creates, at the expense of the existing middle class, an immobile underclass whose perspectives depart from the majority's and which contradicts the attitude that had made the host country successful. Not infrequently, this immigration begins with an illegal act. In Europe's case, false national origins are claimed to support the fraudulent claim of political persecution. In the case of loosely controlled countries that lack residence registration, illegal entry and residence is practiced. Given this inauspicious start, mainstream careers will not necessarily be pursued, and so the inclination to engage in continued illegal activities is given.
Illegal or forced immigration tends to prove to be an irreversible process. This is an outcome in highly developed systems that in their practice extend protection, not as intended, to the falsely accused. Much rather, the criminal that violates the rules of the game naively assumed by society, is shielded. Thereby his apprehension is hindered and his chastisement is obstructed by protection intended for another purpose and whose postulates reflect assumptions that are invalidated by the nature of the challenge. Therefore, the conditions assessable now suggest that, economically and politically advanced societies have caused themselves to lose their ability to control their immigration. Furthermore, thereby, a significant part of their sovereignty and some pillars of their social order are also impaired.

Buzz-kill fails to cut the tension
Poor Ali and Samuel. They had such simple hopes and dreams. Hopes and dreams of being made semi-famous through cooking average meals on a pretty popular television program. But, thanks to four prima donnas, that dream is shattered and all anyone seems to care about is the fighting gatecrashers.
Of course, Samuel's ulterior motive at entering the contest was to get closer to Ali, whose ex-husband is his best friend. Awkward. Their day starts relatively easily - how Tasmanian! - by taking the dog for a run along the beach. No, they're not a couple.
Samuel says that to survive this round, they need to cook their hearts out. It's a different strategy to previous attempts, by them and others, to cook in a faux-confident manner. Tonight, he's taken on the head chef role and Ali is the assistant. "She feels more confident if I take the lead role," says Samuel. Take that, sexual politics!
We are reminded of pastegate - the team's apparently unforgivable sin from the last round of taking curry paste from a jar - and they have begun penitence by deciding to not use anything else from a jar. How jarring for their processes. [I'm here all week; try the veal.]
In a spectacular brain fart moment, they've decided to cook churros for dessert with a chocolate and avocado dipping sauce. Avocado.
Yes, really. This is no joke. Pete has grave reservations, but he's one to talk with his alkalised water fetish.
As they travel back from shopping, Ali plays into the hands of the producers [or was it vice-versa?] and suggests that "things could spark up a bit" with the gatecrashers at their instant restaurant. This is like saying that if it rains, you could need an umbrella.
And what is that? Enter Sophia.
"In a dog fight, there's usually a pack of bitches coming at the strongest dog, and at the moment it's Ashlee and I." Whether she and Ashlee are the bitches or the strongest is not immediately clear from Sophia's mouth. You have got to love ambiguity. Hands up if you don't see this backfiring? That just would not happen on this program.
Victorian 'real housewife' [whatever that is] Angela says that if Ashlee and Sophia rub her up the wrong way, "I'm pretty vocal and they'll know. I'll let them know". Did someone say food fight?
Preparing the beef for the main course, Samuel uses mustard powder from a PACKET! Shock! Things come from jars and packets.
And, as a man who appreciates the fine things in life, Samuel declares that the "stakes are high" while brandishing a steak in the air. No bull. Udderly ridiculous move, Samuel, but let's hoof through to the next part.
Ali, quick to join in, tells us to "make no mistake about it". Milking it?
Trying to fish for more, Samuel says the abalone is giving him an "ab workout" and refers to tenderising his muscle. Someone get this man a job on (Un)Funniest Home Videos, please.
Fortunately for everyone, not least the viewer, Jessie and Biswa have been eliminated. It is fortunate also for Ali and Samuel, who would have been marked poorly for putting seven chillies into the chilli paste base. (See, Pete? No jar.)
Samuel puts a little too much of himself into the food: he slices his finger while filleting the fish and in the interests of good hygiene, the fish is disposed of.
The dinner guests lurk outside and, with an uncanny knack for knowing what could be coming up, Lisa refers to simmering tension between Ashlee and Sophia and Angela and Melina and reckons it will be like walking onto a battlefield. Unless they're taking to each other with knives and forks, Lisa, it's not a battlefield.
Samuel dons a dorky oversized hat for the guests' arrival and is immediately spat on. Kieran wants the hat - maybe it can keep the time for him and Nastassia the next time they decide to play computer games before a crucial, time-specific task.
Ashlee and Sophia decry the restaurant's repeated Wonderland theme as average. Sophia decides to put on full display her inferior food knowledge and says that ceviche is raw seafood - something Pete and Manu were somewhat firm about earlier.
"I don't do raw seafood. I can't," she says.
Steph is unsure about the cacao, or chocolate, joining a steak at dinner. Dan thinks it could make a sausage. He's got sausage on the brain, that one.
Nastassia doesn't like intense, hot flavours, which may or may not explain last week's salt dough, or the lack of urgency in the kitchen to have anything served hot.
Back in the Tasmanian kitchen, the entree is on its way to the table. Sophia assumes it will not be good because there's raw seafood. Obviously she's yet to learn the old cooking adage: never judge seafood by its state.
Manu and Pete are rapturous in their praise for the entree, but not everybody is so taken. Dan doesn't like abalone but thinks it would all taste better in sausage. Ashlee says it's quite average. For some reason, this enrages Melina and Angela, as though this assessment is a reflection on them.
After a brief discussion in the kitchen about the main course – let's face it, the cooking is a subplot the "drama" between the intruders – we're back in the dining room.
Ashlee and Sophia and Melina and Angela are looking daggers at each other. It is [supposedly] tense. The housewives decide to tackle things with all the tact of a bull in a china shop. They slam them as being cold and rude. "Please explain," they say. Ashlee and Sophia bite back – Sophia wants her to know her as a bitch and just leave it at that. Something, something, something – it's all very samey.
Anyway, the two teams of gatecrashers decide to brawl to the death and the remaining gatecrasher team, Nastassia and Kieran, decide to disown the other two teams for bringing a bad name upon all gatecrashers.
Angela's criticisms of Sophia and Ashlee, unsurprisingly, don't go down well. The tension is seemingly so thick it could be cut with a fork. Pete and Manu are either having a conveniently-timed toilet break or have quit, protesting the increasingly inane lines they must deliver and the overly dramatic promotions for the show.
Lisa fails to see sense and chooses to confront Sophia and Ashlee: she is scared to go to their instant restaurant – because they will kill boring Stefano.
The charmers Ashlee and Sophia admit to "zoning out" when Lisa spoke because it was "boring".
"She could put fish to sleep ... she's just a buzz kill," says Sophia.
The minutes tick by and suddenly Manu and Pete have either returned or chosen to speak and have been, apparently, oblivious to the tension. Pete wants a beautiful meal, as if that's the answer to the table's problems.
If we can just pause here to notice Samuel's bow-tie, which is the same as the last instant restaurant, and does not, in any way, match his purple and blue checked shirt. But no matter – the main is served; apparently there is food to be tasted.
Pete and Manu praise the main as being close to perfect. They say lots of nice things, but hurry up, we've got more fights to catch up on.
Ashlee decides that by looking at the tender beef on everyone's plate, she and Sophia finally have some competition. I have never seen a team say this before in this competition this year. Wow.
The churros prove slightly problematic, but back at the table, Nastassia confesses she has no idea what churros are, which earn a scornful look from Sophia. Lisa struggles with the idea of combining chocolate and avocado. So do we all, Lisa, so do we all.
Samuel , describing the sauce as "cracking", proves he is cracked by insisting that it tastes good. If only the churros could be as good. There are problems galore with the oil and the chocolate and avocado sauce is becoming more like a fondant. I did not forsee any disasters with a dessert that combined pure goodness [chocolate, of course] with pure evil.
The churro calamity is fixed through patience, and now for tasting. Pete thinks the dessert is risky and bold, and declares that it works. Whatever, Pete, it's still avocado. Lisa looks unhappy at their success, as though someone forced her to eat only avocado for a whole year.
Lisa can't put her finger on the weird flavour coming through the chocolate. Angela uses the chocolate to boast about her overseas travel, while Ashlee and Sophia find it hard to grasp churros. "It's fried donuts."
Somewhere along the line in the scoring process, the roles of Ashlee and Sophia, as the pre-determined villains [of the meal, they said "Would I remember this tomorrow? No.", and Lisa and Stefano switched. Lisa and Stefano rated the dinner four out of ten, while Ashlee and Sophia had the same score as two other teams, giving Ali and Samuel seven out of ten.
If, as Sophia suggested at the start of the program, this competition is a dog fight, then she and Ashlee are more annoying Pomeranian than bitches.
In total, Ali and Samuel's competitors score them 33/50 – which they found slightly stingy – and Pete and Manu 55/60, for a total of 88/110 and putting them in first place with a 36-point lead.
Unsurprisingly, Lisa disagrees with Pete's perfect 10 for dessert but by now, everyone is fawning over the underdogs from Tasmania. Lisa and Stefano are back in the kitchen on Tuesday ... with the promise that she is cracking the whip and him enjoying it. Keep it clean, kids, this is supposed to be a family show.

It's an old program ... and when I change it to "Windowed" version, the picture is so small on my computer screen that it's very difficult to get the pictures I need in order to create my Sims 4 version of the different lots.
Life Stories came with only an in-game camera that was strictly for the games use I guess, because there is no set of files anywhere that would allow for our using that in-game camera to take pictures. No place where they would go to be stored, that I can find.
I was wondering if anyone ever found a work-around that issue; so that pictures could be taken when the game is on full screen so you can actually see what you are taking a picture of. Also - the camera options do not allow for great mobility so you can move around easy; for instance, the arrow keys do not work for moving the camera around. Is there a way to make that work?
I know it's a really old program from the Sims 2 days and there is a good chance no one remembers or knows the answers to my camera problems - but I thought I would put it out there in hopes someone does know.
Also - maybe someone knows how to adjust the screen setting. I have a very large screen - but my old game only allows for an 800x600 - so when I have the game on full screen, rather than windowed version, it's very blurry.

Although other technologies get a greater share of the storage spotlight, backing up data on tape is still a vital aspect of many networks. Especially since the development of the Linear Tape File System, which allows data on tape drives to be used much like other types of magnetic storage media, tape has gotten pretty high tech. Users may not even realize that they are accessing data from a tape-based drive.
Quantum Corp. has made many tape-based products for network storage, including those that GCN reviewed seven years or so ago. Now the company is innovating storage market again with the release of the StorNext 5 appliance line. Based on a re-architected high-performance engine, Quantum's StorNext 5 metadata controller appliances give users flexibility in managing unstructured data by providing optimized support for IP, NAS, SAN, and cloud-based networks.
"StorNext 5 is a significant release. It promises to address the challenges found in today's complex workflows where data environments are not only growing in volume, but are also comprised of mixed file sizes, performance requirements and network topologies," said Terri McClure, Quantum Enterprise Strategy Group senior analyst.
According to Quantum, the new StorNext 5 appliances are optimized for evolving end-to-end content and data workflows where distributed teams need greater efficiency for handling large and small unstructured data files. Additionally, StorNext 5 provides a framework for unified management of flash, disk, tape and object storage technologies from a single interface.
The StorNext appliances can hold up to five billion files. Depending on the appliance, those files can be up to a petabyte in size with no slowdown as the data grows even larger and ages. Expanded storage architectures, including SSD optimization and native InfiniBand support enable the use of low-latency applications such as high-performance computing and analytics, where the creation and deletion of files as small as four kilobytes is needed.
StorNext 5 appliances will be available in December 2013. StorNext 5 software-only solutions will available during the first half of 2014.

For Syrians in desperate need of humanitarian assistance, the detainment of 21 United Nations peacekeepers in the Golan Heights comes as particularly
bad news.
Though a handful of aid agencies now conduct low-profile work inside Syria, the vast majority remain reluctant to establish a strong footprint inside the country given the unpredictable nature of violence inside the country.
But local Syrian aid groups say they are unconcerned. Such incidents have occurred elsewhere in Syria when local convoys are moving throughout the country, but are rare.
"We've never had a problem or an issue with the aid so far," says Yakzan Shishakly, director of the Maram Foundation, which manages aid in the Atmay refugee camp in the north of Syria. Speaking about the detention of the UN workers, he says, "After only one incident it does not concern me. It would concern me if it happened more than one time."
Mr. Shishakly adds that the detention of the UN peacekeepers is also unique as it happened in the Golan Heights, a disputed territory between Israel and Syria. The rebels holding the UN staffers say they are not hostages, but "guests" and are now calling for the Syrian government to remove artillery from a nearby town to facilitate the safe release UN personnel.
Still, lawlessness and instability make distributing aid throughout Syria difficult. A little over a month ago, the Free Syrian Army seized a convoy of medical supplies Gassan Yassin was helping deliver. After three days of negotiations, the unit agreed to release the supplies.
"From that time to now, we've been in contact with the FSA to ask for protection," says Mr. Yassin, a member of Najda Now, an aid organization that provides food and medicals supplies to Syrians. "With this coordination between the FSA and all the organizations we won't have these incidents repeated."
Among those in the northwest of Syria, where the opposition controls large areas throughout Aleppo, as well as parts of Idlib, Syrians involved in aid distribution say that incidents of aid convoys getting hijacked occur no more than once a month. And in most incidents recounted by Syrian aid workers, the captured supplies were returned after negotiations.
"It rarely happens. I've only heard about two incidents," says Abu Basal Hafar, a member of the Central Committee to Support Aleppo, which collects
money to assist those in need. "When it does happen, it happens because of the severe shortages of aid and it makes people revert to criminal behavior."
As with many incidents of criminality inside opposition-controlled Syria, residents blame the behavior on convicts the Assad regime reportedly released from prison to destabilize rebel-held areas.
"The regime claimed at the beginning of the revolution that when the opposition controlled an area it would not be safe. They did this to prove a point," says Noor al Houry, who runs a grassroots humanitarian aid organization in Aleppo. "It's not a big problem because of the size of the problem or how frequently it happens or even how much aid is taken, it's the idea that people are stealing from those in need."

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 16 (UPI) -- Recording artist Bobby Brown pleaded not guilty in a Los Angeles court Friday to driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol, TMZ said.
Brown was charged with DUI, driving with a restricted license and driving a vehicle without a vehicle interlock device after he was arrested last month.
His license was restricted and he was ordered to install a breathalyzer device that prevents his car from starting if he has had an alcoholic beverage to drink, following a previous DUI conviction.
Brown's most recent arrest came after police pulled him over for driving erratically and detected the smell of alcohol.
He faces two years in prison if convicted of the charges since he was on probation stemming from his previous DUI arrest. Brown is due back in court next month, TMZ said.

(I've left in the "issues bullet" from last meeting ... to highlight some of the history here).
- bug 400513, bug 401249
- Egit message list
- Numerous posts to cross-project list
Please come prepared to discuss alternatives
- Does anyone know of any impact of delays to strategic members that might effect choices?
- Impact to the projects you represent on ability to do the re-work if needed?
Do nothing
- let EGit provide updated project repo with fix
- Pro: easy
- Con: EPP users especially get the bad bug right away ?and could damage data? before applying the fix
Simply remove EGit 2.3 from common repo
- thus effectively reverting to their 2.1 in SR1, re-spining EPP packages, allow to re-mirror, etc.
- Pro: moderately easy -- assuming I could do the p2.remove script to remove just their bits (not a certainty)
- Con: EGit starts off pretty far behind
Full respin cycle
- Turn on the aggregator, let people update their contributions so it runs, hope we get same content, respin EPP, re-test, etc.
- Pro: best quality
- Con: would take 2 weeks (IMHO), sounds like several projects would want to contribute new bits, lots of work for all participants
- Other bugs mentioned as desired in a respin, if we did one. Please comment in these bugs if you have questions/suggestions for them.
- GEF bug 401477 (No "perfect fix", even if we did a respin, due to version number snafu even in SR1)
- M2E bug 400520 (They will effectively be providing an SR2a, it sounds like, even if we don't respin)
Provide a 4th "composite" to Juno SR2
- Would have only EGit in it. Assuming all if versioned correctly, EPP packages and "updates" would find their latest ones
- Pro: moderately easy, with minimal work from other projects.
- Con: The "bad bits" would still be in repo and theoretically installable, if someone happened to deliberately pick an older version
Other Alternatives?
Issues (from previous meeting)
- EGit planning 2.3, but 2.1 is still their common repo contribution? (That is, why aren't they "fully participating"?) See bug 399437. Kepler contribution is even further behind.
- Action Item: Chris will "get back to us" on what EGit's plans are ... he initially thought "final code" would be done in two weeks, but I reminded him RC4/final builds are next Wednesday.
Next Meeting
- March 6, 2013

If you head straight over here to the forums and bypass the Green Ronin front page you may have missed some of our recent announcements. Since some of these announcements include limited time offers, I'm making this a sticky topic and linking a few things here:
Green Ronin Gift Cards!
We are pleased to now be able to offer gift cards in our Green Ronin Online Store! This is a brand-new feature in the store platform we use, and it works a bit differently than, say, giant online retailers named after South American rivers. Here's the scoop:
1) You don't know what your friend / grandpa / daughter / boss already has, but you know they like our stuff. Hey, how about a gift card!
2) Go to the Green Ronin Online Store and get them a gift card. You can pick from $10, $25, $50, $75, and $100 denominations.
3) Check out. Once all the bookkeeping is out of the way, the store will present you with a nice gift card image with the magic code. You can email it to your friend from there, or print it out. You will also receive an email with a link to the gift card.
4) Once your friend / grandpa / daughter / boss gets the code in their email inbox, or when you hand it to them, or when they find it under a tree or in a sock, they can come shop in our online store and use the code on the Payment page during checkout.
Shopify tells us they're working on more gift card features, like the ability to enter a different email address than yours as a "shipping" address.
Green Ronin Online Store: Wishlists
Do you know what you'd like from our Green Ronin Online Store, but would rather receive it as a gift? Are you worried Grandma might get overwhelmed sifting through Mutants & Masterminds PDFs to find the one you asked for? Or do you have your eye on something we sell but would rather add it to a list to remember once you are armed with holiday doubloons? We have now added a Wishlist feature to our online store!
On any product page in our store you can click the Add to Wishlist button, and then you can share the direct link to your wishlist with anyone you like. You can even wish for one of our t-shirts in just your size, or for a Green Ronin Gift Card--just pick a size or denomination before you click "Add to wishlist."
Other great gift ideas:
The DC Adventures Bundle (All four print books for $125: Save $54.80!)
The 100 Best Books (Available in print, PDF, epub, and mobi!)
Walk the Plank Card Game ($9.95, regularly $14.95!)
May all your wishes come true!
Free / Discounted Shipping!
For the month of December 2013, we've got some shipping deals for you.
For orders shipping to United States addresses, you can enter the code 2013FreeShipping during checkout to reduce your shipping costs to $0.00! If you're shipping outside of the U.S., we've reduced our default shipping amount for orders weighing 20 pounds or less to just $12 from $20.
Thank you for your support, and we hope you have a terrific rest of the year, full of fun and games.

Acting Head of Department: Dr. Dan Bauer, Dr. Marc Linder, Dr. Stefan Zunft
With about 50 members of staff, the department of Thermal Process Technology is concerned with energy storage, thermal management and heat exchange topics. These topics are of importance to all fields of energy use and energy supply.
Apart from applications in the fields of industrial process heat, combined heat and power and fossil power plants, thermal energy storages are developed and qualified for solar thermal power plants. The significance of energy storage for the power plant sector is reinforced by the demands on net stability with an increasing share of renewable electricity production and by the recent developments in the field of solar thermal power plants, to cover the increasing electricity demand in central Europe. Innovative storage concepts for a temperature range from 100 to 1000 °C are being developed and realized in the department. The technologies under development cover sensible heat storage based on liquid and solid materials, latent heat storage and thermochemical systems.
The increasing urgency to reduce the primary energy consumption in the commercial and industrial area requires the exploitation of to-date unused waste heat. For the purpose of high temperature applications with gaseous heat transfer fluids in power plants and industrial processes, high temperature heat exchangers based on ceramic materials are being developed. Thereby, the focus lies on thermal and thermo-mechanical design issues, which are also validated experimentally.
In the area of alternative fuels, the focus is on liquid (biogenic) hydrocarbons. The thermochemical conversion processes for the production of hydrogen for decentralized power or mobile applications and decentralized stationary electricity production are being researched, as well as gas clean-up processes for decentralized power production from renewable biomass. The relevance of storing surplus electricity in the form of liquid hydrocarbons is investigated by process simulation and techno-economic assessment.
The key topics of the department are covered by 4 research areas:

Borough mayors wanted kickbacks, too: Charbonneau witness
A growing number of city officials, including borough mayors, are under a serious cloud of suspicion at the Charbonneau Commission, as the head of a Montreal engineering firm testified he distributed tens of thousands of dollars in order to secure contracts.
Michel Lalonde started Monday off by repeating an allegation that former city manager Robert Abdallah was getting financial kickbacks from suppliers.
Lalonde inquired about prices for sewer pipes from a company called Tremca.
He said this is what he was told:
"I'm good with the $300,000 and, secondly, I have to speak to Mr. Abdallah. We have to take care of him," he said.
Last fall, Abdallah denied the claim when it was raised in testimony by contractor Lino Zambito.
Lalonde named more people, as well. He said he used to give 3 per cent of each contract he earned back to Gerald Tremblay's party, Union Montreal.
So enough, he said, borough politicians wanted cash too:
- Lalonde said he gave $60,000 to former Riviere-des-Prairies-Pointe-aux-Trembles mayor Cosmo Maciocia at his request.
- When Maciocia left politics, his successor, Joe Magri, also received $15 000.
- Lalonde testified that the borough of Ahunstic-Cartierville also sought payoffs and Canadiens season tickets as the price of doing business in the borough.
- In Saint-Leonard, former Liberal MNA and borough mayor Michel Bissonnet apparently asked and received $2000.
- In Montreal East, Mayor Yvon Labrosse received $5000 in illegal contributions, Lalonde claimed.
- In Montreal North, Lalonde said he sent $2000 to Mayor Gilles Deguire, a former police man.
- He also said he gave $1000 to Ile Bizard Mayor Richard Bélanger.
Lalonde said cash-hungry Union Montreal fundraisers still wanted more, however, so Lalonde was forced to give $20,000 to the cash-strapped 2005 World Aquatics Championships in exchange for contracts.
Lalonde's payoffs extended well beyond Gerald Tremblay's Union Montreal, however, and beginning in 2008, he started paying attention to the opposition, held by Vision Montreal.
Lalonde claims he was approached by a Vision Montreal fundraiser in 2008, and eventually gave $25 000 cash to Benoit Labonté, who at the time was running with Louise Harel.

Kaitlyn Boudah scored her first goal of the season at Penn Saturday (photo Gil Talbot).
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – The Harvard field hockey team scored three times in its second Ivy League contest of 2012, but fell at Penn, 4-3. The three scores equaled the Crimson's offensive total from the previous five games.
Harvard (1-5, 0-2 Ivy League) controlled possession for much of the first 10 minutes of the first half before getting on the board. Sydney Jenkins took the ball inside the circle, beat a Penn (5-3, 1-1 Ivy League) defender and found Emma Keller in the middle. Keller controlled the ball and fired past Carly Sokach into the left side of the cage.
The Crimson's lead was erased eight minutes later, when Penn snuck a shot past goalie Jenn Hatfield. In the two minutes leading up to the goal, Hatfield made three saves on a strong Penn push, but the Quaker's Elizabeth Hitti attempt found the back of the cage in the 19th minute.
Harvard regained momentum minutes later off of a penalty corner. Noel Painter inserted the ball to Caitlin Rea, who directed the ball to the middle towards the goal. Kaitlyn Boudah then deflected the ball on target into the top of the goal to give Harvard a 2-1 lead.
Harvard's lead was once again short lived as Penn scored just two minutes later. Sunny Stirewalt knotted the score for the Quakers with a goal following a penalty corner.
Although Harvard outshot Penn, 6-5, in the first half, the Quakers entered the break with a 3-2 lead. Penn scored its third goal with 35 seconds remaining in the half. Sarah Hasson slipped the ball into the near post on a reverse shot.
After halftime, Penn added to its lead with a deflection goal in the 43rd minute. Hasson tallied her second score for the Quakers as they took a two-goal advantage.
With 12:15 left on the clock, Harvard had an opportunity to get within one when the Crimson acquired a penalty storke. Kim Goh took the stroke and fired to the right edge of the goal, but Sokach made a diving stop to deny Goh. The diving stop proved to be a game-saving play as the Crimson scored its third goal on its next possession. Noel Painter controlled a breakaway and had a one-on-one chance against Sokach. The Penn goalie charged and Painter flipped the ball over the top and into the cage as Sokach dove low.
The Painter score would be the last of the day. Harvard outshot Penn, 12-7, and Hatfield ended with three saves.
The Crimson hosts Bryant Monday at 6 p.m. in its next contest.

Installation problems
Installation Problems
If you have installed from source and have seen a sentence such as
installed 13/344 programs
something bad has happened. Most likely during building or linking a common error occured for each problem. You can look in the logfiles in $MIR/tmp or try and compile a program to see it directly on the screen:
mirboss mir.subs fitsio mir.prog itemize
and see if any of the common problems below fit the description:
PGPLOT problems
- A common problem is a missing driver. Here is a recipe to enable a driver that you know will work:
edit $MIRLIB/drivers.list <--- (un)comment the drivers you want to include/exclude mirboss mir.install pgplot
When shared libraries are used, this is usually enough, all problems that use PGPLOT should now know about the new driver set. Use device=\? to view the active list.
- another common problem is that the X development files (include files such as Xos.h etc.) were not installed. This is covered elsewhere on this page. You will most likely see that MIRIAD programs do not compile and complain about a missing -lpgplot
Common Problems
If you install from source, two of the most common problems for failure are:
- a missing or wrong fortran compiler. As of this writing g77 is still the default, but newer versions of gfortran now know how to build pgplot and no patching is needed anymore (except the keyword gfortran=1 to the install.miriad script).
- missing (X11) development packages. On linux your package manager should be queried for these. Unfortunately not each linux distribution (or version) will use the exact same name for this. A common example is the X11 development package. For example pgplot will need a file /usr/include/X11/Xos.h (it could also live somewhere else).
- fedora 7: xorg-x11-proto-devel-7.2-9.fc7
- ubuntu 8.04: x11proto-core-dev, libx11-dev
- mandrive 2008: libxorg-x11-devel
- mandrake 10.1: libxorg-x11-devel-6.8.2-0.5mdk
- on 64bit ubuntu8.04 here's a report on how to fix the system, where the libXaw library was 'missing', and also includes an example of installing some missing system tools.
cd /usr/lib ; ln -s libXaw7.so.7 libXaw.so apt-get install gfortran apt-get install g++ cd /usr/local/miriad_cvs ./autogen.sh ./configure --prefix=`pwd`/build F77=gfortran make make install
- the new build system has not been thoroughly tested. A common problem is with autogen.sh that results in a make that ends disappointingly as follows:
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `install'. Stop. make[1]: Leaving directory `/algol1/teuben/miriad/auto/miriad/borrow/pgplot' make: *** [install-recursive] Error 1
- the new build system may fail on latex building the manuals. If so, use 'make -i' instead.
- if you try to compile a program and you see some error message like this:
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lpgplot
most likely you have missing components on your system. Missing header file you might see. It means you did not install the development software for X11 on your system. It's one of the requirements. If this happens on a mac, go install Xcode. On linux you'll need to install the X develpment packages, as describe earlier on this page.
Unsolved problems
- some linker issue on Ubuntu 7?
% mir.prog itemize ... /usr/bin/ld: /home/ijlee/miriad/bin/linux/itemize: hidden symbol `__stack_chk_fail_local' in /usr/lib/libc_nonshared.a(stack_chk_fail_local.oS) is referenced by DSO /usr/bin/ld: final link failed: Nonrepresentable section on output collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
