Treo 700p Tether with Linux
SUSE 10.2 on Dell Optiplex 320
...the blog
This shit is bananas. I installed Kubuntu Intrepid on a laptop recently and made the foolish choice of using the KDE 4 option. That means that you get no right-click ¨extract to¨ or ¨compress as¨ in Konq, or Dolphin, if you´re into that kind of thing.
I messed with creating some custom ServiceMenus, but could not get them to work with Ark. Dammit. The best solution I´ve seen can be found here.
This is just my most recent KDE4 frustration. And this is sad because I don even use the whole desktop environment - I use Fluxbox; I just happen to love Konq as a file browser and FTP client. While booting into KDE to see what the hell they were doing, I noticed I can´t set the taskbar to only show windows from the current desktop. The control center is absolutely neutered. Plasma...really?
ANd it seems I made the wrong call when configuring the keyboard because whenever I try to put an ¨e¨ in quotes I get an e in ümlauts. Well, thatś my bad and can be fixed easy enough.
Hugs & kisses.
Update: Keyboard layout fixed! Horray for being able to put "e"'s in quotes!
First, I found a Free is the new Blog post where the author got it working. I tried to duplicate what he did and didn't get very far, but I learned a little more about how to do it.
I did some more searching and found an Ubuntu tutorial that explained exactly how to do it. I followed the instructions, but still couldn't get it working 100%. What follows are some notes I made to get this to work for me on a Feisty Kubuntu installation and Sprint.
sudo modprobe cdc-acm
connect '/usr/sbin/chat -s -v "" AT OK ATD#777 CONNECT'
firstname.lastname@example.com *
The SATA hard drive was not recognized during the install. As I found suggested elsewhere, this is fixed by using the kernel parameter linux pci=nomsi. I read that another problem was that GRUB wouldn't work. I wanted to try for myself, and sure enough during the first boot grub $hit the bed. So, lilo it is. Those were the only two problems I ran into during the install and neither were too hard to fix.
linux pci=nomsi
After the install I had my usual problem with Samba, but that was about it. My boss will be back in the office Tuesday and will be able to play with his new SUSE machine. I'll have to wait and see how he does.
I was busy last week and was unable to get around to installing SUSE 10.2 at work. However, a woman I have been tutoring in web development mentioned she's been wanting to try Linux on her Dell machine she just got back from getting repaired with a clean HDD. I suggested a dual-boot with Windows, so we installed Windows first and then tried to install SUSE 10.2. I say tried because we got an error that her machine didn't have enough memory to run YaST. It asked to mount a swap partition, but since this machine only had windows installed, there was no swap partition yet. Her laptop had 256 MB of memory, which is SUSE 10.2's minimum requirement.
Some Googling turned up similar errors for people installing it in a VM. The fixes they used didn't help me. I decided to download DSL, burn it, and use it to resize her NTFS and give her a swap. Unfortunately, I couldn't get two separate machines to boot off of two separate downloads of the newest version of DSL, 3.2.
These shenanigans left the woman with a poor impression of Linux, especially compared to the almost thoughtless process involved in installing XP on the same machine. I told her we'd try it again next time when I brought an older version of DSL with me. The next time I saw her I didn't bring up Linux and neither did she.
I also recently had a conversation with the CEO of the company I work for. He was running Windows ME (he resists change, especially technology) on his desktop at work and has noticed how one-by-one he is losing support for ME from Microsoft, Symantic, ZoneAlarm, and others. I agreed and told him that he would really need to upgrade to something newer to protect his data and our network. We talked about how expensive Vista was and how he'd be in the same dwindling-support situation in a few years with XP. He asked me to tell him again about that "thing" I have on my computer. I told him again about Linux, how it's free, secure, and can be modified so that each new update does not mean he has to re-learn how to use it. I told him I wasn't pushing it on him because I know how much he hates change. He told me he knew he had to change to something so he was willing to give Linux a try.
He's been using the same hardware for about 10 years, so I talked the holder-of-the-purse-strings into letting him get a new computer. They've leery of the "pieced-together" machines I'm famous for because they have no warrantee, so I checked out Dell. I was able to get a respectable 3 GHz Celery, 1 GB of RAM, more storage than he can use, a 17" monitor, DVD-RW, 3-year warrantee (heavy on the fine print), and FreeDOS shipped from Dell for about $700. My plan has been to install SUSE 10.2 on it. I can ssh into it and handle any updates and new software he needs from my desk.
Unfortunately, I've had more than a few headaches with SUSE 10.2 on my own work machine. So many, that I'm starting to wonder if I shouldn't just install XP for my boss. Blasphemy from a Linux advocate, I know. The problems I have run into when installing Windows for non-geeks can usually be fixed by the average introverted male teenager. The problems I run into when installing Linux often involve compiling a new kernel module, copying a binary, and some other CLI stuff that seems like wizardry to the bystander.
SO, the problems I've had with SUSE 10.2:
rpm -i
"It's free, stop complaining and go fix the problems." Well, my skills aren't quite there. I'll keep using Linux (and likely SUSE) until hell freezes over, but I may not be able to recommend it to my less-technically-inclined friends.
To be fair, I found a lot to like in SUSE 10.2. The default KDE desktop is really cool (though I only use it until I can get Fluxbox working). Kerry was nice. The search bar in Konq is cool. I haven't tried bluetooth or syncing my treo yet, maybe that will give me something else to rave about.
Anyway, I'm just surly because of the frustrations I've been having. I'm sure things will start to look sunny soon.
I often like to compile my own software even when binaries are available (sometimes you can't find binaries). Sometimes options are missing, sometimes they just don't work, sometimes...well you know the reasons. The problem was that with Vector Linux I could not figure out how to use slapt-get (or gslapt, if you prefer) to install local software packages. I spent a lot of time searching and ran into several dead-ends, instructions that assumed the reader was a power-user, and some flat-out bad advice. So I'm going to lay out the steps as plainly as possible on how to use slapt-get to install binaries you've downloaded or compiled yourself.
This is pretty easy to do, it's just long because I'm sympathetic to newer users so I go into detail where it may seem redundant to some.
make install
slapt-get --clean
As root, create a new file in /root/ called "build_repo". In this file add:
cd /usr/src/local_repo/
makeinfo-slapt new
cd /usr/src/local_repo/
makeinfo-slapt new
The middle line should be the new directory you created in the previous step to hold your downloaded/created packages. Save your addition, close the file, and make it executable. As you can see, when this script is run, it changes to the local repository directory and runs the makeinfo-slapt command with the "new" option. If you want it to build the info for all your packages every time you run it, then use "all" instead of "new"; in most cases, you won't need to do this.
##My alias
alias buildrepo='/root/build_repo'
##My alias
alias buildrepo='/root/build_repo'
That means that as root, we can just type buildrepo and it will execute the script we created. If you're using the command line, end your shell session or open a new terminal (then su to root) so that it incorporates the changes you made to root's .bashrc.
...to the file. Obviously, if the directory you created is elsewhere, you should use that path instead. There are a couple different places you can add this line. I like to put it in the "FAVORITE" group so slapt-get tries to use my packages first, but you can also put it in the "VECTOR" group.
Once you've made the changes, save the file and close it.
Now as root (from any directory) run our buildrepo command. You'll see some output that indicates it's building the necessary files (and deleting old ones). When it's done, it will give you a prompt.
Now do a slapt-get --clean (this probably isn't required, but since we modified your slapt-getrc, it will give you a clean slate). If you like to manage your packages from the command line, just do a slapt-get --update and it should add your new local packages; if you're using gslapt, just open it and click update. Now using the command line or gslapt, do a search for the package(s) you put in your local repository. You should see them and be able to use them.
slapt-get --update
Now every time you download or compile a new package, just move it (them) to your new local repo, as root run "buildrepo", then update your slapt-get using the command line or gslapt...good to go.
If you get errors running buildrepo, try cd'ing to your local repo and running makeinfo-slapt all. If you get errors at this point make sure the package(s) you put in the directory were compiled correctly. If the errors go away follow the rest of the steps and then go back and make sure you built build_repo script correctly.
makeinfo-slapt all
If you just can't make it work and want everyting back the way it was, just delete the directory you created, delete the "build_repo" script in /root/, remove the changes made to slapt-getrc, remove the additions to root's .bashrc, clean slapt-get, and then update slapt-get; you're back to the way things were.
This is pretty much exactly what I did (excluding the trial and error) and it worked like a champ. If I've made a mistake somewhere or skipped a step, please let me know. It's also possible that there's an easier way to do this and I'm just hard-headed, if this is the case, please let me know.
I could not control the sound using Winamp's dial, nor from the speaker icon in the system tray. Also, each time the tracks changed, I got a popup box that said something about not having drivers installed. I logged out of the XP machine remotely and logged back in. I could now launch Winamp with results similar to those mentioned above; not ideal, but I was patting myself on the back.
Today I started playing with rdesktop again to see if I could make it better. Well, now trying the -r sound:remote option made the sound work as expected! I tried this before with zero luck, so I'm thinking that the little "procedure" with opening Winamp locally, then controlling it remotely "fixed" something. I'm not real sure what did it, but I can now play whatever I want on the XP machine's "good" speakers from across the room. The command I'm now using in my Fluxbox menu is: rdesktop -u remote -g 90% -a 16 damian -r sound:remote.
-r sound:remote
rdesktop -u remote -g 90% -a 16 damian -r sound:remote
I've also run several updates on two XP machines I used the multi-user hack on and it still works.
Due to the order in which our computers were acquired XP is installed on the "cool" computer: best monitor, best graphics card, fastest proc, severely overclockable, etc. Because I'm such a good husband, she also gets the "cool" desk chair, but that's beside the point. The "cool" computer also has the best speakers, nothing an audiophile would love, but it's a Creative setup with a subwoofer, so compared to the machine I use, the "cool" computer also sounds good.
After a couple of the CDs I love (Short Bus and October Rust) were recently destroyed by my children (whom I love somewhat less now) I have been going through and ripping any CDs I consider priceless. I've been using ogg, I know it's lossy and not the best way to archive music, but it's good enough and I have yet to meet anyone who can tell the difference between a CD and a good ogg rip when given the Pepsi challenge. So after a couple day's work I've got a few gigs music on my computer. Many of these songs I haven't heard in a long time and have been looking for a way to play them and control them on the "cool" computer from my linux machine across the room. A CLI mp3 player like mp3blaster would be great if it ran on XP.
So off I went to see if I could find something to fit my needs and somehow ended up with the idea of using remote desktop to run Winamp to play the ogg files. I thought this sounded cool because I'd also be able to use IE from my linux machines (for those damn sites that require IE and switching the user-agent doesn't work) as well as perform any maintenence on the XP machine (I'm always asking my wife to run Windows update, change the file sharing properties on something, etc.). So while this may not be the easiest way to play music on a nearby XP machine from Linux, it solved some other problems and I wanted to try it.
XP's Remote Desktop lets you have visual access to all XP's features. It's as if you're sitting at the machine. It's like a remote X session for Linux (I wouldn't know because I always feel less manly at the thought of accessing a remote Linux machine without using the command line) Scott Morris has some information about running GUI apps remotely with SUSE. So XP acts as the server and you just need a client to pull it off, you can use this on your LAN or elsewhere if you've got an internet connection. To set up the XP machine, just follow these instructions (except the "The remote computer must be running Windows 95 or later" thing is nonsense, we're going to do it with Linux). To set up the Linux box (client), you'll need rdesktop (RPMs available on the SUSE CDs or common YaST sources). Rdesktop is a CLI app, so if you want a GUI, you can try tsclient or GNOME-RDP. I tried the generic RPM on the tsclient site and it worked on my SUSE 10.0 machine, but complained of a dependancy issue that I could never fix on my 9.3 machine, I didn't try any other GUI's because I just set up a menu item in my Fluxbox menu that launched rdesktop with all the options I wanted (run man rdesktop to see what's available). Do some googling and I'm sure you'll find a GUI that suits you if you must.
man rdesktop
So far so good? You should now be able to launch rdesktop or the GUI front-end of your choice. If it does not work it might be the GUI you're using, so try rdesktop by itself to if that's working. If you're still having problems, your next step should be checking all the firewalls between you and the host machine. Then make sure you set up XP correctly; I think the XP machine will need to have a password associated with the account you are trying to use.
The problem with this is that whenever you log in you'll kick the local XP user out to the login screen. This is because Microsoft only wants one user on there at a time. However, the whole reason I decided to make this long-winded blog post is that today I happened across a Digg story that explains how to hack XP Pro to allow up to three users at once. TFA explains that this is done by installing an old dll, changing some options, and making some registry tweaks. In the comments I also found this post that provides an .exe that does all the installing and hacking for you. In any case, you'll have to offer a certain amount of trust to the authors because you're installing a dll that could have been potentially modified to do "bad things". I've tried both methods mentioned above and have yet to find any problems. Also, you'll need to set up a second account on the XP machine because two people can't be logged in as the same user at the same time, if you try it the first user will be kicked to the login screen.
I have no idea if this hack violates the XP EULA or any laws and these things cary a certain amount of risk, so you're on your own if you end up in jail or with a broken machine. Additionally, the next time you install any MS patches, your hack may be undone or break the hack alltogether.
Did this solve my "music-on-the-'cool'-computer" issue? No. Though you can specify if you want the sounds to come from the server or host, for some reason that's still not working right now, but I'm convinced the theory is sound (forgive the pun), so I'll keep working on it. Update: Sound works now.
So if there are Windows-only (or Mac-only, unix-only, whatever) programs that you need to have available in Linux to make the switch, go take the survey. Scott tells me that once the survey is complete, Novell will be contacting the software vendors to see what they can do about getting some Linux support.
Now, if 10 people take the survey, Novell will have a hard time going to Big-Software-Vendor-X and trying to convince them that they should port their applications to GNU/Linux. At the same time, don't go and spam them with 200 requests each to try and get a Linux port of Grand Theft Auto.
I went to go take the survey and I could not think of a single application that I thought of as must-have where I couldn't get something similar on Linux (personally or professionally). I thought of friends and family and what it would take them to switch and the truth is, they are just resistant to change. They couldn't find a real difference between Outlook Express and Thunderbird if their life depended on it. They just want a "Start" button and a blue "e" that they can double click on to get to "the internet"; not because they like it, but because many of them aren't willing to consider other options. Added: Well, I thought of one that's a must-have at work - Quickbooks. I've looked at what's available for Linux and I can't find one that covers everything we need. Plus, for a long time, our payroll was done with Intuit and it enabled us to use some advanced features with Quickbooks.
Anyway, if there are some applications you or your business would need (or like) to see ported to Linux before you can make the switch, go take the survey. This is probably the best chance you'll have to get through to some of these vendors.
So the "old" SETI@home is dead. Now, if you want to search for little green men, you'll need to download the BOINC client and "attach" to SETI@home. Pretty easy, I'll update my old instructions soon.
I'm not doing SETI anymore. I got into distributed computing through a project similar to folding@home that looked for disease cures and such. When I switched to Linux, they didn't have a Linux client, so I started supporting SETI. By using BOINC, you can choose to support one or more of several projects. I chose to support Rosetta@home; this project claims to be examining proteins that may be used in cures for diseases.
Rosetta@home has a good Linux team, USA Linux Users Group. Don't let the nationalistic name fool you, they have several international members and they have a great site for Linux users.
I've run across a couple of cool articles for new Linux users. The first is Linux is not Windows which does a better job of making many of the same points I make here. The other is one I found through the USALug site, 10 things you should know about every Linux installation. It gives some quick information for people who don't know too much about Linux and want to learn more without getting too technical too fast.
I got the RAM I ordered for my laptop. I installed it and it told me to "Please remove the incompatable memory from slot"...at least it said please. I've been doing some checking and it really should work. The funny thing is that I think it is the exact same RAM I need for the iMac: 144pin PC100 SODIMM. I'm not sure about this, but I'll try it when the Mac gets here. If that doesn't work, I'm going to have to see what I can do to send the RAM back.
Here's an openSUSE 10.1 Alpha1 review.

Joe Latti, Brick City Boxing.com – The boxing world is certainly buzzing today as it seems we are one step closer to the mega-fight that is Floyd Mayweather vs Manny Pacquiao.
A series of tweets today have informed us that negotiations are allegedly complete between the Mayweather and Pacquiao camps, and all that is left is an official announcement from Floyd Mayweather himself. The announcement of the fight was supposedly negotiated into the agreement as well, stating that only Floyd can make the announcement and it will be on his terms. Speculation suggests it will happen as soon as Friday, February 20th.
The most notable tweet came from Dan Rafael of ESPN, as he states, "Basically every1 involved in #MayweatherPacquiao (both sides) simply waiting for Floyd to announce. All are calm & say negotiation complete."
Some details were also announced in regard to the potential pay-per-view agreement. The price of the event is set to increase from the most recent Mayweather and Pacquiao fights, which were $74.99 and $69.99, respectively. Mayweather has a contract with Showtime, while Manny Pacquiao is signed to Top Rank and HBO, which will lead to a joint PPV between the two networks. Both sides have reportedly agreed that aside from Mayweather vs Pacquiao, the undercard will feature one bout made by Top Rank and another made by Mayweather promotions.
Although it is not officially announced, this is the closest the two sides have ever been to making the agreement. The only way we will know for sure is when we hear it from Floyd Mayweather himself.

Book Expo 2011 Books!
May 23, 2011
Here are the books from this year's Book Expo!
I put them in a tower, and before the stack tipped over, it was taller than me! Will try again after I write the list!
Note: Will read and review these in some fashion… I also have reviews pending for BlogHer and the Star-Ledger, and will give those deadlines priority.
- The Throne of Fire- Rick Riordan. Autographed! TOTALLY worth getting up at stupid o'clock on my birthday to get an autograph ticket.
- Half Blood- Jennifer L. Armentrout. Fantasy
- Sleight– Kristen Kaschock
- My First Ladies: Behind the Scenes with Michelle Obama, Laura Bush, Hillary Clinton, Barbara Bush, and Rosalynn Carter– Nancy Clarke, with Christie Matheson. The White House Chief Floral Designer tells all. It was in the press office. Maybe WVFC would like it?
- Somewhere Over The Sun– Adi Alsaid. A first novel, handed to me by the author. I browsed a couple of pages. He's got a good sense of the visual. Should be fun.
- Birds of Paradise– Diana Abu-Jaber. Got this at the Editors Buzz panel. Picked it up because it promises at least some foodie lit, but I'm braced for an intense novel about a runaway teenage daughter and what happens to her family.
- The Art of Fielding– Chad Harbach. Another Editors Buzz find. A literary novel about baseball at a small town college. I always love reading baseball novels, even though I hate watching the sport.
- The Night Circus– Erin Morgenstern. A circus pops up in a small town, with dozens of black and white striped tents, full of surreal things. Jars of memory you can inhale like perfume, clouds you can walk on. Magicians' duels. I'm very excited to read this, because it's the sort of thing I like, and because the editor who was reading it couldn't put the manuscript down- she just sat herself down in the staff lunchroom and read for hours til she finished. From the sound of it, I'm reminded of Veronica, by Nicholas Christopher, which I've been meaning to reread. But I can't find my copy. Ack.
- The Maid: A Novel of Joan of Arc. Yes, ChrisL, I got you a copy, too.
- Swerve: How the World Became Modern– Stephen Greenblatt
- The Hangman's Daughter- Oliver Potzsch. Thriller set in 17th Century Bavaria.
- The Thank You Economy– Gary Vaynerchuk. Wine mogul talks about social media and economy. Reminds me to reread Cory Doctorow.
- The Sweets of Araby– Leila Salloum and Muna Sallloum. Arabian Nights inspired sweets. I grabbed this for the lovely illustrations by Linda Dalal Sawaya
- Many Genres, One Craft- Lessons in Writing Popular Fiction. Edited by Michael A. Arnzen and Heidi Ruby Miller. May be re-gifting this to a fiction writing friend.
- The Little Women Letters- Gabrielle Donnelly.
- Au Revoir Crazy European Chick– Joe Schreiber. May be the best title in the lot.
- Slow Love– Dominique Browning. decent-looking chick lit
- Brightly Woven– Alexandra Bracken. Fantasy
- Spa Deadly– Louise Gaylord.
- Stupid Fast– Geoff Herbach. Fun YA
- Read My Hips, How I Learned to Love My Body. Kim Brittingham. Body Image essays.
- The Taker– Alma Katsu. Spooky
- Open Wounds– Joseph Lunievicz. V. excited about this one! Historical fiction with stage combat. I talked fencing with the author!
- Stingers– W.G. Griffiths. YA with a smartass heroine and cyberpunk plot.
- Heart of Deception– M.L. Malcom. Met the author. She loves fancy hats.
- Down The Mysterly River– Bill Willingham. He wrote Fables.
- Next To Love– Ellen Feldman. WWII historical romance.
- The Best Years of Flying: a Memoir of Howard Hughes and TWA– Dee Merian
- Becoming Marie Antoinette– Juliet Gray
- Lady In Waiting– Susan Meissner. Romance.
- French Lessons– Ellen Sussman. I strongly suspect this is chick lit.
- Forever– Maggie Stiefvater. May be part of a YA series.
- When the Stars Go Blue– Caridad Ferrer, A YA riff on Carmen.
- Jackson Jones: The Tale of a Boy, a Troll and a Very Large Chicken. Jenn Kelly. Middle grade YA. Couldn't resist title.

- A book I got autographed for Dad and won't discuss here.
- His Last Duchess– Gabrielle Kimm. Romance.
- Stanley– Kareena Maxwell. Based on the life of Barack Obama's mother. I think.
- Queen of Kings– Maria Dahvana Headley. About Cleopatra

- The Keeper of Lost Causes– Jussi Adler-Olsen. Mystery. Grabbed one for Dad too.
- Minder– Kate Kaynak. Psychic teen YA.
- Bella– Steve Piacente. Set in Washington
- Sugar in My Bowl– Erica Jong. Essays about sex. I will not read this on the subway.
- Lot's Return to Sodom– Sandra Brannan. Met the author at the Book Blogger Speed Dating event. I may not love this one.
- Bunheads– Sophie Flack. Ballet YA
- Fast Times in Palestine– Pamela J Olson. This looks like a really fun travel memoir.
- The Future of Us– Jay Asher and Carolyn Mackler. Met on AOL, re-met on Facebook. I hate that I didn't write this.
- Pundit Mom's the Mothers of Intention– Joanne Bamberger. Rec'd by Sassymonkey. In person!

- A Congregation of Jackals- S. Craig Zahler. a Western. What was I thinking?
- Someday This Will Be Funny- Lynne Tillman
- Snitch- Booker T. Mattison. Crime novel
Okay… I think I am not allowed to bring a wheeled backpack to BEA anymore. It encourages book gluttony.
Because there will be library books and Star-Ledger reviews and Blog Her reviews, and hopefully other reviews on top of this beautiful stash of books.
I will not run out of reading material anytime soon.

The TARDIS (Time And Relative Dimension In Space) is a sentient time-traveling spaceship, used by The Doctor, to explore the universe. Doctor is a Time Lord, a space-and-time-traveling humanoid alien. The Doctor and TARDIS belongs to the British science-fiction television program produced by the BBC. The program was first aired in the year 1963.
The TARDIS is made by the Time Lords using their advanced technology. A TARDIS that is maintained properly can transport the people in it to any point in time (unless it is time locked) and space if properly piloted. In the series, Doctor Who stole a TARDIS that is obsolete, and hence unreliable. It often fails to get him where he wants to go but send him where he needs to be.
The TARDIS is dimensionally transcendental. It means, the interior of a TARDIS is much bigger on the inside (yes squee away). The machine has a feature known as the chameleon circuit, which when activated, will help it to blend in with its surroundings, so as to avoid detection by other people. He just like to keep it as a police box. The TARDIS provides its users with a lot of tools and abilities, including a telepathically based universal translation system and force field. TARDIS has a library, a swimming pool, a large boot room, and a plethora of other rooms.

A healthy, lightly spiced recipe for homemade tomato ketchup that is far healthier than the supermarket variety that comes in a bottle.
I would never have had this idea had the wonderful lady who looks after my kids one day a week not once given them some leftover passata in the fridge instead of ketchup. I couldn't believe it when I came home halfway through their tea and they were totally fooled. So I had the idea of making real ketchup. At which point I realised that I had absolutely no idea what should go in. Well it turns out that the main ingredients are tomatoes, vinegar and sugar. The ingredients on the back of the bottle of supermarket ketchup in the fridge are: water, tomato purée, sugar, spirit vinegar, maize starch, salt, salt (again), maltodextrin, tomato powder, clove extract, paprika extract. Well that could be worse couldn't it – but I still thought I could do better.
I settled on trying a recipe similar to one from Veg Every Day by Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall and decided to include the spices and see what happened. To my delight the kids liked it but if you don't think yours will then leave them out.
How to make homemade tomato ketchup
Homemade tomato ketchup
- 1 400g tin chopped tomatoes
- 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1/8 tsp mace
- 1/8 tsp mixed spice
Put all the ingredients in a pan, blend together and cook on a low heat until thick. This took nearly an hour but will depend on how watery your tomatoes are.
You could use passata to save yourself the blending stage, or indeed make your own tomato sauce using fresh tomatoes if you have time.

New Works "From Life Alla Prima"
The following works are my current project of faces in both natural and artificial lights painted from life. It's been a tremendous learning experience for me and a great opportunity for new discoveries both technically and visually. It's allowing me to see what photo camera cannot record in terms of color and subtleties of the form and hopefully capture it in a "wet into wet" approach...

Advanced Starship Design Bureau
The Advanced Starship Design Bureau (ASDB) is a project group working on building a new starship creation tool/game called the Starship Designer. The ASDB also maintains and expands the Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards ASDB Technical Database, which provides specifications and design histories for Starfleet starship classes and small craft.
Starship Designer
The Starship Designer is built on the premise that the specifications should mean something and that the effects of chosen components on a ship's performance should be easily seen to the designer. Furthermore, the Starship Designer is built to be a fun, interactive process, providing instant feedback to the user on the effect of his or her choices. By creating a starship design model that is built on a set of constraints and component interaction rules, designing a starship becomes a game itself.
Join the ASDB
We want you! Whom we are looking for:
You do not need to be an engineer or be playing an engineering character to join the ASDB.
If any of this has interested you or you want to learn more, send a message to Captain Rahman.

PayPal enters 21st Century with developer tools refresh
REST-based APIs, mobile SDK among first wave of updates
Online payments giant PayPal has spruced up its developer tools with new APIs, a new mobile SDK, and a new, one-stop developer website – all changes that company execs admit are long overdue.
"Back in 2009, PayPal was the first financial company to open up its payments APIs for developers around the world," PayPal CTO James Barrese wrote in a blog post on Friday. "However, our tools haven't kept up with the bleeding edge of innovation that the industry expects of us."
To hear many developers tell it, that's putting it mildly. In one popular tutorial, web developer Eran Galperin describes PayPal's original APIs as "among the worst I've ever had to deal with," citing inconsistent behaviors, lousy documentation, and unpredictable failures.
Barrese said the new APIs that launched in beta on Friday are fully modernized and built using standards-based technologies, including REST, JSON, and OAuth.
This new batch of APIs also introduces Vault, a new feature that allows developers to securely store credit cards on PayPal's servers instead of their own, reducing their Payment Card Industry (PCI) compliance burden.
This first phase of PayPal's API refresh is limited to payments processing and immediate settlement, which Barrese said are the company's most popular APIs. More APIs will be getting the modernization treatment "throughout 2013," but the company isn't saying which ones.
PayPal hasn't fully disclosed its plans for its earlier APIs, either – which it has now taken to calling its "Classic APIs."
According to a FAQ, the plan is for the new, REST-based APIs to replace the Classic ones eventually, but no timeline has been set. In the meantime, the eBay subsidiary says it plans to "fully support and improve" the old APIs while it works on the new ones.
In fact, unless you're based in the US, you're stuck with the Classic APIs for the time being. At launch, PayPal's REST-based APIs are open only to developers with US Business accounts, though the company says it will be making them available in other regions throughout the year.
In addition to the REST APIs, PayPal has also launched a new SDK aimed at making it easy to integrate PayPal support into mobile apps. The library supports both PayPal and credit card payments – including support for PayPal's card.io card-scanning technology – and it incorporates a built-in proof of payment system, again to reduce PCI compliance hassles.
For now, the SDK is only available for iOS, but Barrese said PayPal plans to release versions for other, unnamed platforms soon.
Tying both of these releases together is PayPal's new, online developer portal, which Barrese said will be a one-stop shop for all of the company's developer documentation, tools, and resources. Developers can use the site to download the new iOS SDK and get credentials to access the REST APIs beginning on Friday.
Barrese added that PayPal will showcase its new developer tools at the SXSW Interactive conference taking place in Austin, Texas through March 12, and that the company plans to release further APIs and capabilities throughout 2013. ®

|Revlon Colourstay for Combination/Oily Skin £12.99
The fact that this foundation comes in two different formulations, one for normal skin and the other for oily, was what made me think that this foundation would be great for me,
I actually bought this and it's the wrong shade for me, a tad too dark, but I can work with it. That aside, the finish I get from it is natural but matte, with a buildable coverage. This stuff really stays too, I can believe the 24hour claim (although I would never try it). I can put my makeup on at 7am and it still be near on perfect by 10pm, with the addition of a little Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder. It is very reminiscent of the MAC Studio Fix Fluid, except it is much easier to blend and as of yet, hasn't broke me out.
My pet peeve with this product is that it doesn't come with a pump. I feel like I've wasted so much of it by pouring it out and it is so messy. Other Revlon foundations come with a pump so I really don't understand why Colourstay doesn't. This being so, I will still be going back and purchasing another (in my correct shade). On a side note, the colour range of Colourstay is fantastic! It goes down to a shade lighter than me (NC15/20) and there's 9 shades in total, amazing for a high street brand.
Have you used Revlon Colourstay? What did you think?
Much Love,

Processo de formação de educadores sociais na área da infância e juventude.
Vangrelino, Ana Cristina dos Santos
MetadatosMostrar el registro completo del ítem
The present research investigates professionals of Human Sciences at the assistance of street children and adolescents. It was tried to identify and analyses their concepts of child, adolescent, education and educator built during their personal and professional life. To achieve this, three educators were interviewed at the Yellow House Project of the Social Assistance of Campinas, its purpose being the assistance of children and adolescents in hazardous conditions. The research was conducted to the formation processes of such educators prior to, after and during their involvement with that project. Thus the research offers subsidies to proposals of educator formation, in general, and for the education of children and adolescents in hazardous conditions in particular.

Spring has sprung and my sinuses have spoken. Pollen has burst into my life, leaving me sniffling, sneezing and scratching my eyes. Hay fever is no fun at all!
I've found an amazing hack for those like me who go for the generic brands – buy your hay fever medication online! Not only is it usually the cheapest option, you don't actually need to learn how to say the words. Even if you buy branded products like Piriton, it's a mouthful.
Try saying chlorphenamine mid-sniffle and see if the pharmacist offers up any more than a 'bless you'!
I switched to generics back when I had no money and I've carried on the money saving tradition. They are cheaper to buy, they do the same job but they always make me look like a tongue-tied loser when I ask for them at the register (and they're always kept behind the counter). I'll share my knowledge with you so you too can buy generic (and buy online so save a red face matches your poor red eyes!)
Cetirizine Hydrochloride: These are the one-a-day non-drowsy tablets that are the same drug as Piriteze.
Chlorphenamine: These are traditional antihistamines that also help ease symptoms of other allergies and things like nettle rash. This is the same drug as Piriton and can make you quite drowsy (it knocks me out).
Beclometasone: This is a nasal spray that can help stop sneezing. It doesn't tend to make you drowsy and it's the same drug as Beconase.
Loratadine: Another one-a-day drug with antihistamine properties meaning it can help ease skin allergies too. This is the same drug as Claritin.
Levocetirizine Dihydrochloride: A one-a-day antihistamine that can help relieve hay fever. It's the same drug as Xyzal.
See what I mean about the names?!
The above drugs are strictly for over 18s and shouldn't be used when pregnant or breastfeeding. If you are unsure what will work best for you, always seek advice from your GP or a pharmacist.

Thursday morning, I tried mightily to wrap my head around why, exactly, the very mention of Tori Spelling makes my stomach begin overproducing acid.
Then Richard Chamberlain, appearing here for the Hallmark Channel, put it into words by recalling a story from his life. At some point after the legendary actor made a name for himself with "Dr. Kildare," an old friend, Cedric Hardwicke, told him, "You know, it's too bad. You're a star before you've learned to act."
What do you know — that's Spelling's problem precisely!
Chamberlain, being possessed of pride and depth, did something about his shortcomings by moving to England, where he underwent basic theatrical training. Whereas Spelling landed pilot upon pilot that never went anywhere, no doubt drowning her sorrows in shopping. The only show that made it to the air, "The Help," performed so terribly that The WB scrapped it within weeks.
But when you starred in "Beverly Hills 90210," and your father is Aaron Spelling, the one-man television entertainment machine that hired you for "Beverly Hills 90210," why should you sit through some stinky old actor's workshop taught by an old lech in a turtleneck? You should just, you know, get work. Because you're you.
"I had done pilot after pilot, year after year, and for some reason always playing a girl down on her luck with no money," she said, holding her widdle toy dog Mimi LaRue in her lap, "… and people, after testing the pilot, just said, 'We really just don't buy Tori Spelling playing a girl with no money.'"
Shocking, ain't it?
Then one day, the light bulb flickered on — a little dimly, but it was on — and Spelling decided to play a fictionalized version of herself in a satirical take on her life.
The result is VH1's "so noTORIous," a scripted sorta comedy premiering April 2 at 10 p.m. (Notice it's not kicking off on April Fool's Day; don't want viewers to think it's a joke!) Her mother, Kiki, is played by Loni Anderson, who looks more and more like a boardwalk artist's caricature of a goldfish doing drag with each passing year. Spelling as we said, plays herself.
How does she fare? We'll have a merry time getting into that during the review. I will, however, share another critic's reaction to the pilot. "You know me," she said. "I can't help but watch a train wreck."
Sure, I replied … but this train is really slow.

There are few things in life more wonderful than slipping into a nice, comfortable pair of yoga pants. The stretchy fabric, forgiving waistband, and warmth makes you feel right at home, no matter where you are, and you'll always feel ready to stretch into a downward dog or cobra pose and get your yoga on. So, without further ado, check out some of the top yoga pants for women! We can't guarantee that they will make you a certified yoga master, but we can guarantee that they will at least make you look the part!
Lululemon yoga pants seem to be all the rage these days, and for good reason! Their outfits are colorful, comfortable, and fashionable. Plus, many people claim that their clothing will last for years. We are in LOVE with these adorable camo-inspired yoga pants, and we're sure you will be too!
Manduka makes not only yoga pants, but also mats and towels. They may try to do a lot, but they do it all well! Their women's line is unique and clean cut, but also a bit playful. We love how they have drawn inspiration from other sports, like with these leggings that remind us a bit of ballet slippers!
Who knew that the same company that owns Gap and Old Navy designs yoga pants! Athleta's clothing is warm, comfortable, and stretchy- perfect for a nice yoga class. And, they offer a wide variety of sizes and styles to accommodate every body type. We're really digging these printed tights!
Onzie's clothes are nothing short of exciting! Bright patterns and stunning prints will have all eyes on you during yoga class (or out on the street), and their popular Instagram page will help keep you inspired. Check out these gorgeous printed Cleo yoga leggings.
Cozy Orange
If you're looking for an environmentally friendly pair of yoga pants, then Cozy Orange is for you! All of their production materials are sustainably sourced, and the company makes a conscious effort to recycle whenever they can. It's so refreshing to hear about a responsible group like this one! If you're ready to try out their clothes, we suggest these loose shiva crops.
Of course, looking the part is only half the battle. You actually have to start attending yoga classes and workshops. Research shows that yoga has many important health benefits, including stress reduction, muscle building, and increased cardiovascular health. Plus, it can lower your risk of heart attack and stroke! The reason those ladies in Starbucks look like they have it all together is because, well, they do!
Yoga is an awesome tool to improve your health and make everything in your life seem a little bit calmer. So, be sure to grab a few pairs of pants from this list, grab your mat, and settle into a regular yoga practice!

Château Martinet, Harvest 2015
A fine eighteenth-century country house set amidst 6 hectares of gardens lined by grand old trees, and of course 17 hectares of vines, Château Martinet was long used as a hunting lodge before becoming a vineyard, and the source of one of Saint-Emilion's most revered wines.The grapes are harvested entirely by hand and sorted manually. They are then transferred to small, temperature-controlled vats in order to preserve the individual characteristics of each plot of vines, allowing for plot-by-plot vinification. The wines are then matured for 16-18 months in oak barrels.Watch the film of the harvest 2015

New Home Sales Slide Again
For the third month in a row sales of new homes have fallen. The AP reports: "New-home sales slipped 1.5 percent last month to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 511,000, the Commerce Department said Monday. That rate has steadily dropped from 519,000 in February and 521,000 in January. Sales plummeted 23.6 percent in the West, which has been prone to volatile swings in sales as one of the nation's priciest housing markets."

Caribbean cravings?
For some it's the jerk, others enjoy the sides, but for me it's the roti.
Yes, there are a ton of places that you could go to get your fix, but (I think that) there are only a handful -at best, of places to go to get a delicious Caribbean meal in Toronto. One such place is Island Foods, a staple on King St. West, known by all foodies not just for the tasty food, but for their friendly service and family style environment.
Stop by for a quick lunch, or dinner after work, or even on a weekend when you can linger in the sunny, colorful, sit-down restaurant. They have a large, varied menu and assemble the food right in front of you, allowing for a truly customized meal. If you're not up for a roti, their chicken dinners with rice & peas and vegetables are also really good. Add a little hot sauce and you'll really feel like you're in the Islands!

The Jungle Book (2016)
written by Justin Marks
based on The Jungle Book stories by Rudyard Kipling
directed by Jon Favreau
Rating: 2.5 / 4
I went to see Disney's CG/somewhat-live-action remake of their original The Jungle Book (1967) because my four-year-old son was interested in watching it. Half an hour in I realized I was quite into it, despite my misgivings about flashy digital spectacles like Avatar (2009) or Gravity (2013) that have left me cold with their emphasis on eye candy and zero narrative heft. Not this time. The Jungle Book accomplishes the complicated task of creating a wondrous animated world that looks pretty damn real while also investing the time to craft a fun and compelling story.
Most of the credit goes to the voice cast, which includes Bill Murray as Baloo the bear, Ben Kingsley as black panther Bagheera, and Idris Elba as Bengal tiger Shere Khan, all investing their animal counterparts with energy and personality (I was actually kind of scared of Elba's fearsome villain, but don't tell anyone). Equally impressive are the action sequences, with cinematographer Bill Pope and an army of animators working together to make you believe feral child Mowgli (Neel Sethi, one of only two real actors in the film) is running with a pack of wolves or dodging a stampede of water buffalos. My son was captivated… and I was too.

"November Thankfulness" is finished!
For the fourth and last section of my "November Thankfulness" Bible study, we are studying prayer. In this study we will be covering a prayer that Paul prayed for the brethren in Ephesus in the Book of Ephesians 1:15-19.
I love this prayer. It is a perfect prayer to pray over someone you may know that longs to understand God's Word. I pray this prayer over my four children and for my husband and myself. We can never get to the depth of knowledge of the amazing Words of God. There's just so much – but O the blessings if we try!
"For this reason I too, having heard of the faith in the Lord Jesus which exists among you and your love for all the saints,
do not cease giving thanks for you, while making mention of you in my prayers;
that the God of the our Lord Jesus Christ,
the Father of glory,
may give to you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of Him.
I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened,
so that you will know what is the hope of His calling,
what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,
what is the surpassing greatness of His power toward us who believe. …"
Ephesians 1:15-19
Have you seen my "November Thankfulness" Bible Study? I have only two more days to add to make it complete and I would love for you to check it out and tell me what you think. You can find it for free just for you in the right side bar ——>
Happy Praying!

Holocaust survivor, billionaire Azrieli dies at 92
Philanthropist and architect who built iconic Tel Aviv towers, 13 major shopping malls passes away in Canada
Yifa Yaakov is a breaking news editor at The Times of Israel.
Businessman and philanthropist David Azrieli, a Holocaust survivor who designed the iconic Azrieli Towers and owned the group that manages some of Israel's largest malls, died on Wednesday at the age of 92 in Canada.
Azrieli, originally Azrylewicz, was born to a Jewish family in the town of Maków, in Poland, in 1922. His father, Raphael, was a tailor who owned a successful garment business. When Nazi Germany invaded Poland in 1939, Azrieli, who was then 17, left home and embarked on a three-year journey to Palestine via Soviet Russia, Uzbekistan, Iran, and Iraq.
When the war ended, the young Azrieli, then in Palestine, found out that his parents and younger brother and sister, who had remained in Poland, had perished in the Holocaust.
The self-made billionaire's experiences during the war years and his first years in Israel were documented by his daughter Danna in a book, "One Step Ahead," which was published in 1999. In it, Danna tells of her father's enlistment in the Polish Anders' Army, his escape from Iran to Iraq disguised as an Arab deaf-mute, and his journey from Baghdad to what was then Palestine. Aided by Moshe Dayan and Enzo Sereni, Azrieli was spirited into Palestine in 1942 on a bus that smuggled weapons hidden in coffins.
He then settled on Kibbutz Maor Haim in northeastern Israel. His first visit to an Israeli city was to Afula, where he tasted chocolate for the first time.
In time, Azrieli began to study architecture at the Technion, but quit his studies to take up arms during the 1948 War of Independence. While he would not attain his degree until the 1990s, Azrieli would go on to become one of Israel's most prominent architects, entrepreneurs and philanthropists.
He was awarded an honorary PhD from Tel Aviv University in January at a ceremony attended by Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper. But in the preceding decades, he successfully made his mark as a master architect.
Among his more famous projects are the geometrically-shaped Azrieli Towers, famous landmarks that dominate the Tel Aviv skyline, and the Malha Mall in Jerusalem, which for a time was considered the largest mall in the Middle East.
In 1954, Azrieli moved to Canada. From there, he built up a business that spanned three countries — Israel, the United States and Canada — and made him billions.
Today, the Azrieli Group, which is owned by the Azrieli family, manages the Azrieli chain of shopping malls, including Tel Aviv's Azrieli Mall, the Malha Mall and Modiin's Azrieli Mall, and 10 other commercial centers. Azrieli's daughter Danna is expected to take his place as head of the group.
Azrieli is survived by his wife, Stephanie, and four children.

There's a couple of common misconceptions that many gaming PC buyers have when it comes to picking out the right PC and we thought it best to try and dispel some of the myths that might negatively effect your decision making when it comes to selecting the right components for your next custom gaming PC.
Now the following could be considered 'overly generalized' and yes there are always the odd exception to the general rule, but this article is just to point the less savvy shopper in the right direction and should be only the first stepping stone in your pre-purchase research.
Myth 1 : GHz Matter
A Bigger GHz number means better performance right? Not true. GHz is just a measure of the frequency at which the CPU cores are operating at, but the speed of CPU A at 3.0GHz and the speed of CPU B at 3.0GHz can have significant differences. In laymen's terms it's like comparing apples and oranges but for a real world example, the Intel Pentium G3258 over-clocked to 4.7GHz easily be significantly outperformed by the i5 4460 at 3.4GHz in almost every possible benchmark.
But why? Well that's easy, not all cores are created equal. GHz in a CPU core can be thought about like RPMs in a car engine. Big engines simply produce more power at lower revs than their smaller counterparts.
Myth 2 : The better the CPU, the better the gaming performance!
Completely out of context you could argue that yes, the higher the model of CPU you have, the more gaming performance you will get however put in the context of a complete PC or laptop, this statement can be extremely misleading and disingenuous.
Multiple components effect gaming performance and while the CPU is one of them, others include memory [RAM], storage device [Hard Drive or SSD] and most importantly the video card [GPU]. Far too many retail so called 'gaming' PCs and Laptops try to sell themselves on the fact that they pack an i7 CPU while at the same time sporting a lacklustre GPU that completely kills real world gaming performance.
The Take Away, Buying the right CPU, not just the 'best'est.
Here at Evatech we have built thousands of gaming PCs for customers with budgets ranging from the extremely humble to the jaw droppingly extravagant putting us in a relatively unique position of authority on the subject of maximising performance within a budget.
The one piece of advise we find ourselves repeating the most to customers looking for a custom gaming PC is to allocate the lions share of the budget to the GPU, but making sure at the same time the other components don't bottleneck it.
Every game is going to behave differently, relying more heavily on the CPU or Memory or GPU than others but as a general rule, the GPU is the king when it comes to a single component that directly effects gaming performance.
A rough idea of what we would consider the 'sweet spot' for price / performance ratios when it comes to pairing your CPU, memory & video card looks a little like this;
- Top End – i7 CPU – 16GB RAM – GTX 980 / 980 TI, TITAN X or R9 390X
- Mid Range – i5 CPU – 8GB RAM – GTX 960 / 970 or R9 380 / 380X
- Budget – i3 CPU – 8GB RAM – GTX 750 TI / 950 or R9 370
In terms of storage devices (ie, hard drives vs SSD's) this will effect load times but rarely actually effects in game performance unless there is underlying game engine issues. That being said, the load time differences can be significant and we always recommend an SSD is if it can be squeezed in to the budget.
To Summarize
If buying an off the shelf laptop or desktop for gaming don't get fooled by big GHz numbers or shiny 'Powered By Intel Core i7' stickers. Take the time to actually delve in to the overall system specifications, especially the GPU. If your customising your own, do a bit a research and allocate that budget in a way that maximizes your performance per dollar.
Here at Evatech we do things a little differently, our sales staff are instructed to only ever make genuine recommendations and suggestions, are never instructed or incentivised to 'up sell' and actually know the products they are selling like the back of their hand. So if your considering a new custom gaming PC, no matter what level of knowledge you have in PC hardware, we would be more than happy to help. Shoot us an email, drop in to the store or give us a call!
What are you waiting for?
Let's take what you've just learned and start customizing your next gaming PC, click here to get started.
