All data is stored in ~/OBSLight and subdirectories.
Each OBS project has its own directory in ~/OBSLight/ObsProjects/, each MIC project has its own directory in ~/OBSLight/MicProjects/.
Configuration file is ~/OBSLight/ObslightConfig.
While running an OBS Light appliance is simple and easy and just requires 1GB of RAM allocated to the virtual machine, running an OBS server appliance can be much more demanding but running the OBS server server appliance on your desktop or laptop (a minimum 4GB of RAM is mandatory) via a virtual machine can be very handy during evaluation tests.
The main advantage is that you do not need a special authorisation from your IT department to start playing but you need to allocate at least 2GB to the appliance and as many CPU cores that you can spare. You need to patch on the OBS server appliance (need to be root) the file /etc/sysconfig/obs-worker to set the variable OBS_WORKER_INSTANCES to 1 (default is zero) to limit the RAM resources requires by your appliance during build process.
If you plan to build large packages such as Chromium you will need more than 2GB of RAM allocated (actually on my desktop I have 16GB).
You can overcome that limit with the addition of an obsworker appliance on a separate server. OBS Light project provides one pre-configured to work with and OBS Light server appliance.
If you use the Bridge mode, external OBS work appliance will be detected and used automatically (NAT more would require a complex configuration). The Worker can be running on a more powerfull unit and speed the preparation work before for example leaving the office with a complete fully built project on a laptop.
You can stop the worker on the laptop by the command rcobsworker stop (need to be root). You can check that your OBS Worker appliance can see your OBS Light Server Appliance with the command slptool findsrvs obs.source_server
As a general rule using the bridge mode is advisable. Note this is not the default option of VirtualBox.
The NAT mode is interesting to run an OBS Light server via a VPN or for unconnected demos. In that case you will need to declare NAT rules in your Vitual Machine Manager redirecting the ports 80, 81 and 82 from your local host to your OBS appliance internal NAT address (with VitualBox under Linux rerouting port bellow 1000 is reserved for root only).
Do not forget to add a host name "obslightserver" in your workstation pointing to the OBS Light server appliance IP address or localhost in the case of a NAT configuration.
The kernel package has flags to prevent builds on ARM. To compile an ARM kernel, you must use another package, for example the kernel-adaptation-n900 package.
If the project on your OBS doesn't provide some dependencies and you must add a repository to your project filesystem's zypper configuration, you have two choices:
## obslight filesystem repositories add <repository_url> <repository_alias> <project_alias> obslight filesystem repositories add http://download.meego.com/live/MeeGo:/1.2:/non-oss/MeeGo_1.2/ MeeGo_non-oss MeeGo_1.2_oss
## obslight filesystem repositories add from <source_project_alias> <project_alias> obslight filesystem repositories add from MeeGo_1.2_non-oss MeeGo_1.2_oss
OBS Light cannot create new packages at the moment. You have to use the web UI or osc first.
Run the following command:
specify --new=your_package_name
It will create a new YAML file from a template, and ask you to edit the file. Just replace "^^^" occurrences by which seems appropriate, and got to the Spec and YAML customization section.
autospectacle can analyze source archives and generate an appropriate YAML file, but has no documentation.
If you already have a Spec file for your program, you may still want to create a YAML file in order to standardize or simplify it. Run the following command:
spec2spectacle your_package_name.spec
It will parse your Spec file, generate a YAML file, and generate a new Spec file from the YAML file. Notice that the conversion is not perfect, and you may lost information.
Except from lines between "# >> " and "# << " tags, the content of the Spec file should not be modified by you, because it will be re-written by specify each time you modify the YAML file. So if you see a line you don't like, you have to find which option of the YAML file has generated it (or can prevent it to be generated), change it, and run the following command to update the Spec file:
specify your_package_name.yaml
Complete list of Spectacle options is here: Syntax of spectacle YAML
Bugs are centralized on MeeGo's bugzilla.
The move to OBS 2.3 seems to be far less transparent that it should.
But the facilities offered by the V 2.3 are valuable and move to it is worthwhile.
You will find here how I did it, it might work for you but it is without guaranty.
Do a snapshot of your appliance before starting.

Carl Schurz Park in NYC
I saw your nanny at Carl Schurz Park at approximately 3:45 today, (5/14) with your two children. Your children are a boy and a girl, the girls is 4-5 and has a brown bob and blue eyes. She was wearing a blue sweater with a white collar poking out and jeans. The boy was about 7-8 and had lighter hair, some freckles and brown eyes. He had on a long sleeved t-shirt with the graphic of a tree and nuts on it. The nanny was wearing athletic pants that were brown and black Merill's with white socks. All of these people were white. The nanny had blond looking hair that was in a short pony tail. The nanny was approximately 140 lbs, about 5'5-5'6. In other words, the nanny is not fat at all! The nanny and the children sat on the bench outside of the park and had three cans of pepsi and a box of Suzy Q's. This is a box that probably has 8-12 cakes in it. And there are two cakes in each serving. The children are bordering on being classifed heavy. This might be the post you need to pay closer attention to your children's diet. Your nanny has an athletic build but your children do not! It's just not okay to allow children with weight problems to eat like this!

Its not okay to let children *without* weight problems eat like this either

Insane. What purpose would she have feeding those children all that garbage except to placate them because they might've been bratty and she couldn't handle it?
- May 14, 2008, 7:40:00 PM
How do you know it was the nanny?

ick. poor kids. how about some fruit? :(

Oh! I hate the f'ing weight police! Not everyone in the world eats tofu and granola.
- May 14, 2008, 10:46:00 PM
MPP, I don't think the nanny spent her hard earned money on a box of Suzy Q's to "placate bratty kids". If they are bratty, a sugar high is not what one wants.
Most nannies bring what the parents provide from home. The kids are heavy, the nanny isn't. 1+1=2. - May 14, 2008, 10:49:00 PM
Where have you been? Time and time again we've seen posts where nannies are feeding their charges crap because they are either lazy, or don't care, or just trying to shut the kids up.
Whether the kids are fat because the parents don't care, or the nanny feeds it to them because she doesn't care, it all adds up to = wrong. - May 15, 2008, 5:54:00 AM
Lazy nanny. She doesn't care what she's feeding those kids. How many parents do you know actually take the time to pack their kids lunch for the day??
ROFLMAO! Get real!! - May 15, 2008, 6:10:00 AM

All the nanny's fault, once again. Can't be the parents, right?
Ugh, I used to sit for people who fed their children sugary snacks, chips and candy ALL day....DINNER included. It was disgusting, but there really is only so much you can do.
In fact, in certain situations, that was all they had in the house. I'm not exaggerating either.
STOP BLAMING THE NANNY..if OP spotted a parent do this, the majority of you accusing the nanny of nutritional negligence would be telling OP to mind her own business. - May 15, 2008, 8:46:00 AM
To 8:44
MISTAKES happen! The "Blog Master" (I love that name, by the way!) ... is ONLY HUMAN!
I'm sure she got the dates MIXED UP!
THANK YOU! I'm sick of the Nannies ALWAYS getting the blame, too. Parents can be just as lazy and neglectful .... they need to shoulder some of the blame, too!
And I vote THIS post by the OP is the parents fault, how about them apples! - May 15, 2008, 8:54:00 AM
I don't know if the nanny or the parent provided those ho-ho's or suzy q's or whatever the hell they were. Bottom line, the kids ate them. The parents should be more responsible in looking out for what their kids are fed, and the nanny shouldn't have been giving them to the kids. I doubt there is a big moral dilemma for the nanny - she isn't going to get fired for sneaking a flippin' banana to them. She has to shoulder *some* responsibility because she is the last line of defense for those kids and they depend on her. But I would bet that mom and dad didn't take the time to pack those kids their lunch for the day. That is a joke.
Crap is cheap, easy and fast. - May 15, 2008, 9:18:00 AM

I'm with jerseyxjacqui - I used to work for a family that had NOTHING but crap in the house. The only fruit was in heavy syrup, and there were ZERO vegetables. It was all chips, danish, fish sticks, corndogs, cheez-its, fruit snacks, etc. I felt bad feeding it to them, but I certainly wasn't going to spend my measly salary on food for them.
The parents are probably the ones with the snacks. And for those of you claiming that it can't be the parents because parents don't pack the lunches, I only have to say - use some logic here: the nanny doesn't pack the kids lunches from HER food - she packs what the parents have available.
10:49 is right: "The kids are heavy, the nanny isn't. 1+1=2." - May 15, 2008, 9:42:00 AM

undercover regular,
You are correct. A typo, nothing more. (fixed) - May 15, 2008, 9:43:00 AM
My Daughter is 14. There is a boy in her class that weighs 280 pounds. His parents send him to school with two loaded sandwiches, 2 bags of chips, at least two snack cakes and 3-4 cans of soda.
When they have a pizza party, or order other food, he ususally orders 4 slices or two lunches. I've met his parents at PTA and parent night meetings and they are sweet people but they don't seem to care that all three of their kids are overweight.
I babysat on occasion for a slight woman who fed her children ages 2 and 4 whatever they wished from the moment they woke up at 6 or 7 am. MMs, ice cream, cake, whatever they asked for they got. She would pack snack packs for us to take to the park which mortified me. They would consist of a can of soda, a candy bar and chips. Her kids won't eat healthy stuff, she claimed. They were also allowed to eat non-stop. Lunch would be frozen pizza or pre-made mac N cheese. Both children were overweight.
I am not a granola chomping, tofu nut. I believe kids need a healthy amount of sugar and fat in their diets. I also believe children need to be indulged now and again if they crave sweets so they learn how to eat responsibly overall. Meaning they can get a small ice cream sundae with gummy bears today but not everyday. My point is, this type of snacking OP saw may be OK with the parents, I've cetainly seen parents whoa re fine with it. But it's nice that it's posted in case the parents are not OK with it. - May 15, 2008, 9:58:00 AM
My charges are 2,4,7 & 12. A blended family. They have meal times on a schedule during the week, breakfast is always at 7. Dinner is at 6. Lunch is at school. Weekends are more lax. The attitude about food in this house is that we buy all kinds of fruits and vegetables. I clean and cut vegetables on a regular basis so the children can grab celery sticks or strawberries as easy as they could grab chips. The only thing they are not allowed to drink is regular soda. Beyond that, if I go to the grocery store and a child wants twinkies, we get twinkies. If I go to a bakery and the 7 year old wants two cupcakes, she gets two cupcakes. I have to tell you I see a lot of food being wasted. When you don't make an issue out of it, children don't seem to want it as much. These children also know what healthy choices are. So they are told, this is healthy, this is not and this is why it isn't, but eat what you want. The 7 year old eats way too much candy. I think it is a phase. Taffy, toffee, sweet tarts, pure junk. And lots. The children are all thin to pin thin. I think this has to do with the fact that in addition to the food, every kid in this house and the parents all have bikes and roller blades. They hike together and are really physically active. Personally, I think I have learned a lot from this family. Healthy choices available. And positive influences who are physically active. Dad runs, mom plays tennis. They all swim like fishes.

What I worry about is type 2 diabetes. My family members have it. And it has alot to do with what you eat from childhoood-adulthood.
- May 15, 2008, 12:12:00 PM
metronanny..just out of curiousity..where do live? What state? Here in California..our children cannot take soda or junkfood onto the school campus..it is a new regulation that was passed about 3-4 yrs ago.
I am surprised that your state does not have the same regulations!
Here they have pulled all soda vending machines from the school campuses and they do not allow any junk food for a childs birthday party excepting Pizza..no candy, cookies or chips at all..I was under the impression this was statewide as well as sweeping the nation. - May 15, 2008, 12:40:00 PM

Mind your own business. Do we live in a police state now. You sound like a child tattling on someone.
- May 15, 2008, 1:51:00 PM
I think your family has the right idea.
I try to feed healthy, but don't make a huge deal out of treats either, although I would not necessarily say yes to two cupcakes in a sitting for a small child. I have always bought treats to have on hand in modest amounts...so that they are here, but not in plentiful enough supply to cause problems.
My 14 yr old daughter has learned to make healthy choices all on her own and indulge herself modestly with sweets at times too. She's a good weight.
My 17 yr old son (skinny as a rail)...well, let's just say he gets the diabetes speech a lot. But he's at that age where he has a car and some of his own money...so he's feeling the freedonm of being able to buy food on his own. There is a giant box of Twizzlers on his desk right now (although it has been there for more than a week and is still more than half full, despite the fact that I poach them regularly too.)
Oldest son went through this junk food phase too and now eats healthily of his own accord.
I think if you're not fanatical on either end of the spectrum things sort of work themselves out in the end. - May 15, 2008, 1:51:00 PM
But Darvon crushes up so well in their mother's home made yogurt.

- May 15, 2008, 2:01:00 PM
Unless both of the cupcakes come from "Sprinkles"!! :)
- May 15, 2008, 2:02:00 PM
The child who asked for the two cupcakes wanted them in the store. Forgot about them until the next day and ate about two bites before declaring them too hard. No offense, but the problem with fat children is they are shamed so whenever they can get their hands on food, they have to shove it down their gullets before someone takes it away from them. And they have parents who are inactive!I've seen the children when they come here. Maybe they aren't allowed to have chocolate or something, so the obsess and even steal! Not because they are bad children but because the adults have made food such an issue!

I always have cookies on hand for after school I make them on saturdays and fill up the cookie jar. I know they eat 2 each after school with some milk until dinner is ready. I don't think it hurts them. They are not over weight by any means. They get balanced meals at home and at school they do not have vending machines or soda machines. Maybe I am lucky they don't like hoho's or twinkies?
They are not big on fast food either but they do like their junk every now and then.
One plays soccer and the other one takes dance so I kow they get exercise daily maybe that's why they can eat what they want. Yet I see kids that have a tendency for weight gain because of genetics.
If your parents were heavy as youngsters ,the kids will also have that tendency. I think the more we fuss about what they eat and how much they weigh could be worse than giving them the HOHO's.
I don't want my kids sneaking food,stuffing themselves and then throwing up or taking laxatives. Carrying on about their weight only makes matters worse. - May 15, 2008, 7:26:00 PM

Children are capable of learning from a very young age how to make proper food choices.
We always keep fresh fruit and veggies cut up in the fridge in zip-loc baggies - very easy to get to.
When they want a cookie, they get a cookie. And I think "nanny for super family" wrote a really good post, because that's kind of how we roll in my house.
And no one here is overweight.
A little of this and a little of that, and avoiding any obsessions about food in particular, and your kids will come out on the healthier side. - May 15, 2008, 10:43:00 PM
when i shop, i buy a lot of healthy food, and then usually one container of ice cream. when that's gone, that's it until the next week. it doesn't kill kids to have to snack on real food instead of sweets. i never buy chips or crackers because i don't want to have them around for dh and i to eat. we have lots of fruit, veggies, cheerios, popcorn, nuts, yogurt, cheese, or dinner leftovers. i don't think we're nutty or anything, but i disagree that the children must have access to cookies and chips. some people just don't eat that processed junk.
i always feel sad for overweight kids because you know they get teased at school. i don't think parents whould focus on weight, but rather on the health aspects of choosing nutritious food. it's really a form of nelgect to not care at all what your children are eating. - May 16, 2008, 1:58:00 AM
We don't even buy ice cream anymore because after we open it and have our first bowl, it always ends up sitting in the freezer too long and ruining the taste.
It makes it more fun anyway, so we go out once or twice a month as a treat to an ice cream parlor. Other than that, we keep healthy snacks around the house and it makes it easier to make proper food choices. - May 16, 2008, 6:36:00 AM
Children will eat what you offer them. I only gave my son fish, fruits, and veggies and water or watered down apple juice when he was young. There was no soda, no candy, gum, or donuts. Believe me, he was not deprived. Ten years later, he doesn't drink soda, eat donuts, cupcakes, and rarely eats candy. If given the choice of carrot sticks or m&m's, he chooses the carrot sticks. Kids get used to what you give them when they are young. People are generally lazy and it's easier to unwrap a Ho-Ho than it is to cut up an apple or peel an orange and put it in a bag.
- May 16, 2008, 10:53:00 AM
Anon 10:53 I wish it were that simple. At the age of one my oldest son all of a sudden became a very picky eater. He stopped eating most of the fruits and vegetables he had happily eaten as a baby. To this day he won't get near a banana or a strawberry, although he has overcome all of his other fruit and vegetable aversions by now, thankfully! My daughter ate salad from the beginning and could hardly get enough fruit to satisfy her desire. You just never know.
On the sadder side, there was a boy who lived four doors down from us and was in my son's kindergarten class. He was extremely overweight...as in he was about as wide as he was tall. He could hardly play. I noticed at snack time (because I was a classroom helper om a regular basis) that this boy would have for his snack something like a quart bag stuffed to the brim with oreos and a sugary drink...always somthing of that nature. Most of the other kids had what amounted to a tiny, well rounded lunch. I knew the parents slightly because their son liked to come play at our house after school. One day she came up and asked me if I could take her son to swim team with my son because her car was broken. I said "sure" and told her what time we would leave to walk over to the pool. She became upset with me and told me that her son didn't "like" to walk...which was why she was asking me for a ride. I told her that it was a short distance (maybe two longish blocks) and that we always walked and that her son was welcome to come with us if he could walk. She got sort of mad but I held my ground. (It was way more work to pack up a baby and all the pool toys and the stroller, seatbelt three kids into baby or booster seats, drive for two blocks, find a parking spot, and then unload and repack everything onto the stroller than it was just to plop the baby into the already packed stroller and go.)So she sent her child with us, and he whined and complained loudly the entire way...needing to stop for rests and even berating me for not taking the car. She was still aggrivated with me the next day. Whatever. I wanted to tell her how appalled I was that a five year old was so fat and so underexcercized that he couldn't even walk two blocks...but I didn't.
Another mom had a boy 2 years older than my son (which would have made him 7.) The boy was always stuck home and occasionally wandering over to mention that his mom had "another tension headache" so he had to be quiet and stay away from her. This child was also overweight, but not to the extent of the first. One day I called the mom and offered to be responsible for transporting her son back and forth to practice and games to be on a city league youth soccer team with my son if she wanted to sign him up. She told me that, no, her son didn't like running and exertion.
What is wrong with some people? Don't most of you remember running and playing outside until the sun went down...hardly ever feeling tired or out of breath? I do. Some of the best memories ever. How many kids miss out on that today?Kids are supposed to be eating real food and playing physically...daily. - May 16, 2008, 12:21:00 PM
Mom, I am where you were. My son hit age one and has only touched two vegetables since. Potatoes and cuccumber. Anything else he won't even try. If I sneak it into something you can bet he will find it. If he doesn't, he somehow separates it in his mouth and spits it out. I've tried to give him veggie juices. He recoils as though I have poisoned him.
I NEVER eat junk. I love fruit and vegetables. He loved them, too, before he hit age one. :( - May 16, 2008, 2:46:00 PM
hellcat...I am laughing. Smae thing here. We tried ot sneak bits of banana into all kinds of things and he always figured it out. Separating in the mouth and spitting out. Check. Looking behind what we have placed on the front of the spoon to make sure we haven't hidden anything yucky behind the good stuff. Check. Tasting a little piece of fruit hidden in a very chocolaty milkshake and refusung another sip. Check.
And my sister would tell me all the time that kids will eat what you teach them to. Bull****!
(But my other two did eat what I gave them for the most part (except for a long stint where we were forced to live mostly off of corn, peas, carrots, apples and grapes)...so I can see why a parent of an easy eater would think that is true.) - May 16, 2008, 5:12:00 PM
That nanny had absolutely NO sense. Suzi Q's? How common. Everyone knows Ding Dongs are so much better.

i strongly agree that kids should be exercising every. single. day. it's not that difficult if you make it a priority. mom, that was sad about both those kids, especially the five year old.
yes, one year olds often balk at certain foods. guess what? if you nonchalantly keep putting fruits and veggies on the plate, eventually they start eating them again. i don't think my three year old was eating any veggies at one, but today he asks for carrots, salad, and sweet peas. - May 16, 2008, 6:46:00 PM

I am a nanny, and I am mortified by the things my nanny family feeds their little ones. None of the children have weight issues yet, but I certainly see it coming. It is pretty common for me to walk into work at 8 in the morning and find my charges sitting at the table eating icecream or cookies. It's totally insane to me to let the kids eat crap like that without eating "real" food first, and then complain about their behavioral issues. I love my nanny family but sometimes I am just boggled.
- May 19, 2008, 8:30:00 PM
10:53 OP here...
I guess I am lucky that my son still loves his veggies and fruits so much. I still think you need to keep putting new things in front of the kids and see what they will take to. My son's new favorite is baked sweet potatoes. I hadn't given that to him since he was a baby but he tasted it at a friend's house and loved it. Super sweet and creamy. She had put brown sugar, butter, and cinnamon on hers when he tasted it. When I made them for him, he asked if I put the toppings on and I lied and said 'yes'. He couldn't tell the difference and loved it anyway and asked for more. Another trick is to 'hide' veggies in other food. Steam and mash cauliflower and mix into mashed potatoes. Mix in chopped spinach to meatloaf and meatballs. Grate a carrot into spaghetti sauce. With fish, I always fry it (not the healthiest, but hey) and always called it a chicken cutlet. Tilapia is especially sweet and delicious. There is a smoothie with several veggies and watermelon that your child would never think was healthy or contained any vegetables. There are several cook books out there with recipes on hiding certain ingredients so that kids don't know they are eating healthy. As I said, it's a little more work but it's worth it. It's so very important for these kids to have fruits and veggies as they grow. That's not to say that I don't take him for an occassional McDonald's meal or stop at the Mr. Softee truck after school. Everything in moderation. I cringed reading some of these posts about what some mothers give to their children! Pure laziness.

But hey, I'm glad you've found a bunch of neat ways to hide the good stuff in your kid's food!
Yay for you! - May 20, 2008, 11:40:00 AM
How is it the nanny's fault that the kids are fatties? Eating habits begin to form as soon as the baby is on solid foods and the parents are the ones who decide what food is available in the house. Trust me, a nanny alone can't make a kid fat but a parent can.

Your disgusting for posting this. Mind your own business. And the people replying are just as ridiculous. People like all of you make me sick. I'm embarrassed I'm even responding to this but I searched "first bday party in park" and sadly this came up. Get a life all of you. This is my profession and I still would never write anything about other people's kids and what their weight was!!!!

Tensions were high Friday night around Lebanon, hours after a top Lebanese intelligence official known for his anti-Syrian stance and at least two others were killed in a massive explosion in normally peaceful neighborhood of Beirut.
Gunfire erupted in the capital and enraged citizens blocked roads after the blast, which left Brig. Gen. Wissam al-Hassan dead and heightened fears that Syria's civil war could boil over into neighboring Lebanon. In Sidon, people shouted, blocked city streets and burned tires in protest, according to CNN iReporter Ernesto Altamirano.
The friction turned to violence in other spots, including clashes in the seaside Lebanese city of Tripoli between supporters and foes of Syria's government.
Saad Hariri, a Lebanese opposition leader and former prime minister, told CNN that he had no doubt who was responsible for the bloody car bombing: Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. He accused the Syrian leader of "killing his own people" and said "he will not think twice" about killing Lebanese in order to protect himself.
"The message from Damascus today is anywhere you are, if you are against the regime from Lebanon, we will come and get you," said Hariri, who blames the 2005 assassination of his father, former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri, on Syria's government. "No matter what you try to do, we will keep on assassinating the Lebanese."
The blast took place during Friday afternoon rush hour in East Beirut's cosmopolitan Ashrafiyeh district, a predominantly Christian and populous area replete with shops, churches and office buildings. The neighborhood is considered among the safest in the city, said Aram Nerguizian, who teaches around the block from the attack site.
The huge blast shattered this peace -- spurring panicked and tearful residents to pour out of their apartments, with some carrying victims to nearby ambulances. The bomb's impact created a crater near Sassine Square, tore balconies off apartments, left rows of mangled cars and charred buildings, and shook the windows in CNN's offices, about a 10-minute drive from the scene.
At least one car was engulfed in flames, blackened wreckage littered the street, and windows were blown out.
The exact casualty count was unclear: Lebanon's National News Agency said eight people died and more than 90 were injured, but it later amended the figure to at least three deaths and 110 injuries.
Reports said al-Hassan was among the dead. And a Lebanese political source who did not want to be named told CNN it was 99% confirmed that al-Hassan had been killed. "There is an unrecognizable body found, and they have found his personal belongings at the scene," the source said.

Even when investors, mentors and experts dedicate their full time and life to spotting the next big thing, it can come walking straight through their door and they miss it.
We love the honesty of Bessemer Venture Partners Anti-Portfolio page. It is a badge of honor among VCs to have the courage to share stories about the ones that got away but all would rather have had the insight available that would have supported a different decision and gave them the billion dollar ride of their life.
At the same time, there are Founders working away in hacker houses, Estonia or where ever, who feel they can not possibly boil their life's work down to a demo day or pitch competition. We love why Mark Suster doesn't do demo days.

The numbers keep stacking up for Sebastian Vettel. On Sunday he will start on pole position for the 36th time in the 100th race of his Formula One career, with the opportunity to become the sport's youngest triple world champion.
The 25-year-old will clinch his third successive title if he wins his sixth race this season and main rival Fernando Alonso finishes lower than fourth at the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas.
The Spaniard, who has a 10-point deficit to make up with two races to go, will start the U.S. Grand Prix in eighth place -- having been bumped up the grid after Lotus' Romain Grosjean was dropped five spots for an illegal gearbox change during Saturday's qualifying.
if Vettel is second or third, then his Ferrari adversary needs to finish at least eighth or 10th to take the title race to the finale in Brazil.
"I still think we are going to reduce the gap to Sebastian, which is what counts," said Alonso, himself a two-time world champion.
"He starts from pole and he has very strong pace, but the race will be long and let's see if we can seize our opportunities.
"We'll see how the start goes. If he wins the race and then wins again in Brazil he will be champion, and deservedly so."
Vettel was fastest in Friday's practice sessions and his Red Bull's speed was improved further by the arrival of a new front wing that night.
"We just need to look after ourselves, so we are very happy as we had no issues today," the German said.
"The best strategy is to keep your head down, which was the target in qualifying. But we saw at the last race how quickly things can change, so we'll focus on our race."

54. | french | ||
1. A person from the Western-European country of France, who thinks his/her country has the best education system in the world but he/she is unable to say a proper sentence in any other modern language.
2. A person who thinks his/her country is the best because he/she has not been in other countries. 3. A person who uses to take a shower only once a week, and change clothes only when they stink and think she/he is cool for doing so. 4. A fanatic left wing person who thinks work and richness are evil and Stalin was a genius. 5. A male homosexual. 6. A married man who likes when his wife cheats on him. 7. A person who fears change and modernity. "Hey have you seen the new boy friend of Mike? His clothes are old and dirty and he looks like a beggar"
"Yeah, He's French" |
1. | french | ||
The people who live in the country France. The French are responsible for assistance to America in the Revolutionary War, the war in 1812, WWI and WWII and more. The French are also responsible for giving the United States one of the most historical and recodnized landmarks, the Statue of Liberty. Many dislike the French due to them not supporting the War in Iraq, but many of those that dislike the French opposed the War in Iraq. Very strange we hate a country for choosing a side a lot of us are on... My friend is French and is often beat up for it.
2. | French | ||
a language that, if spoken, will get you more pussy than you can imagine
3. | French | ||
A people who have the guts to disagree with Bush. Unlike most other Western European countries, they have never been at war with the USA, and have been actively allied with us in the Revolutionary War and World War I.
The battlefield of Europe: The French generally dislike war due to the fact that almost half of the battles of modern Europe were fought of French soil, and the French civilians have perished by it, on their land, for over two millenia. The second country (America was the first) to have a major revolution which favored Democracy (it didn't work out all that well). They even gave us an enormous statue for that fact. So why are we supposed to hate The French?
4. | french | ||
A person who is of the country France in western Europe. Often mistaken for being rude, the French don't like it when people come into their country and just expect them to speak English. If you speak French to the French, they are very nice. Also they tend to be more liberal, a testimony to their very good education system. However, they smoke too much. Je suis Francais! (I am french)
5. | french | ||
Disrespected folks who actually contributed to the founding America. You can still see the influence of French culture in the Southeastern United States, where one of the biggest Mardi Gras celebrations are held in Louisiana. America literally wouldn't be half the country it is now without the French.
6. | French | ||
One of the best ethnicities to be. Great food, great lifestyles, great everything. These guys, always kick-ass Latin people, who don't eat Snails all the time. I'm French because my grandfather is from France.
7. | french | ||
they make up the three W's that describe them best. they have the best
Wine, Women, and Weapons. the FAM-AS is considered the best bullpup style assult rifle out there.

I sat in the truck and observed.
Inside the fence, Kilham walked a distance to a brush pile. It has cavities inside where 20 of the 27 bears have made into their home for the winter.
Few were really inside snoozing, as they should be.
From throughout the hardwood forest came moving black blobs, bounding towards Kilham and rubbing up against his jeans.
As he poured out the winter snack on to the snow, more seemed to come out from where ever they were playing to see him and get fed. There was no fighting over the food.
"They are programed to stay with their mother the entire winter, so they want to be with you," he said, particularly the ones he has had since infancy who follow him out to the gate.
There is another separate enclosure, in a barn, where there are seven more recently recovered orphan cubs.
Most of them are asleep, except one little female who is his most recent winter guest. She peers down at me from the top of a dog house located in the rafters of the open sided, chain link enclosure.
"Why don't you go to sleep?" Kilham asks.
New Hampshire has a population of 4,500 bears, according Kristine Rines, a state wildlife biologist who works with Kilham on rehabilitation and relocation.

This is a procedure to remove all or part of the colon. The colon, or large intestine, is the lower part of the intestines. In a partial colectomy, only part of the colon is removed. In a total colectomy, all of the colon is removed.
A colectomy may be done to treat a variety of conditions, including:
If you are planning to have a colectomy, your doctor will review a list of possible complications, which may include:
Factors that may increase the risk of complications include:
Your doctor may do the following:
Leading up to your procedure:
You will receive general anesthesia. You will be asleep.
The doctor will make small incisions in the abdomen. She will then insert instruments through these incisions . The section of colon will then be removed through these small openings. The doctor may then sew together the two parts of the colon. In some cases, the doctor may need to switch to open surgery. This involves making a larger incision.
If all of your colon is removed, a colostomy or ileostomy will be done. This will create a path for waste to leave the body. The doctor will make a small opening, called a stoma, in the front of the abdominal wall. The open end of your intestine will be attached at the stoma. The stoma may be either temporary or permanent. This procedure may also be done if your intestine needs time to heal.
Stitches or staples will be used to close the area. A bandage will be placed over the incisions.
You will be taken to the recovery room.
1- 4 hours or more
You will have pain after the surgery. Your doctor will give you pain medicine.
The hospital stay is 5-6 days. You may need to stay longer if you have complications.

This crib caught my eye as soon as I walked into the store. We live in a fairly modern loft and wanted to continue the decor into our nursery, without it feeling too modern and sterile. This crib was the perfect fit - a unique look that is still timeless, and just different enough from all the other cribs to stand on its own. I have received nothing but compliments. Most importantly our baby boy loves it as well. The giggle organic mattress fits perfectly. The construction is top of the line so I know it will withstand future kids as well. It was also a breeze for my husband and I to assemble.

Written by Michelle Kretzer
In just one week, we could require the Obama administration to address the fact that animals are still being killed in gas chambers. It's up to us.
Currently posted to the White House's "We the People" petition site is an appeal asking for federal attention to the suffering that animals endure when they are gassed. It can take as long as 45 minutes for a dog or cat to die in a gas chamber. He or she may convulse, vomit, gasp for breath, attempt to claw through the walls, void his or her bowels, howl in panic, and even be bitten by other frightened animals. And some animals do not die, like Daniel, the Alabama dog who has become the face of the movement to ban gas chambers.
Compare this to an intravenous injection of sodium pentobarbital, administered by trained professionals, that assures that the animal "falls asleep," the same quick, painless loss of consciousness that we feel when we are given anesthetics before surgery.
But despite the cruelty of gas chambers and the affordability of humane injections, it is still legal to gas animals in 31 states. Let's change that. We have until February 18 to collect 100,000 signatures.
I'm going to add my name to the petition right now. Will you please join me?

Comments about Home Styles Kitchen Cart in Cherry with Granite Top:
Moving into a new home, I missed my kitchen island. My Cymax cabinet filled this need in a small kitchen, adding addl. storage space, a granite top and a cherry wood to match my cabinetry. Both side pieces, on assembly, were identical, and Cymax immediately shipped the needed "mirror image" side piece that was necessary. The cabinet wood is dry and I will use some furniture oil immediately to strengthen it and to provide a beautiful sheen. Loved the product for the use that I envisioned it for.

Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is a serious infection of the female reproductive organs. This includes the uterus, ovaries, and fallopian tubes. PID can cause scar tissue to form in the pelvis and fallopian tubes. This damage may result in infertility , a future tubal pregnancy , or chronic pelvic pain.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
PID is caused by bacteria that travel to the reproductive organs. A single bacteria or mixture of several bacteria may cause the infection. The most common bacteria that initiate PID are gonorrhea and chlamydia .
A risk factor is something that increases your chance of getting a disease or condition. Factors that increase your risk include:
Women with PID do not always have symptoms. However, if symptoms do occur, they may include:
If you suspect PID, or have any symptoms, see your doctor immediately.
Because symptoms are often subtle or nonexistent, PID can be difficult to diagnose. There are no specific tests for PID.
If PID is suspected, the doctor will ask about your symptoms, as well as your sexual history, partners, and birth control methods. The doctor may perform a general physical exam, as well as a pelvic exam. The pelvic exam is key to making the diagnosis. Samples from the vagina or cervix may be taken to help diagnose the problem.
Tests may include:
The primary treatment for PID is antibiotics. Your doctor may prescribe more than one type of antibiotic to treat the problem. Finish the entire dose of each medication, even if your symptoms disappear during treatment. Rest is also an essential part of the treatment for PID.
You may be hospitalized if the diagnosis is uncertain, you do not improve, or your symptoms are severe. In the hospital, antibiotics can be given by IV. In certain situations, surgery may be required to remove infected or damaged tissue.
If you are diagnosed with PID, follow your doctor's instructions .
To help prevent PID:
If you are diagnosed with PID or another STD:

No Watering Between 11 & 7 Starting April 1 |
ALBUQUERQUE, MARCH 29 – It's no joke: Time-of-day watering restrictions go into effect April 1. By law, Bernalillo County residents may only water their lawns and landscapes before 11 a.m. and after 7 p.m. The restrictions, which apply to spray irrigation, will be in place until Oct. 31. "We have had time-of-day watering restrictions every spring and summer since 2000," said Katherine Yuhas, the Water Authority's Conservation Officer. "They play an important role in conservation, because watering in the morning or evening prevents water loss to wind and evaporation during the hottest, windiest part of the day." Because 40 percent of our drinking water is used on landscapes, paying attention to time-of-day rules can have a big impact on conservation. "We did a great job saving water last year during a terrible drought, and we want to keep up the good work," Yuhas said. "Irrigating in the early morning or late evening is an easy way to save water. And it's also the law." People found in violation of time-of-day watering restrictions can face fines starting at $20 for a first offense and going up to $2,000. The fines are the same for violators of the Water Authority's water waste rules, which prohibit users from allowing water to spray or run onto the public right-of-way, regardless of time of day. These rules apply whether you are washing your car, watering your lawn, or draining your swimming pool. Yuhas urged water users to apply the time-of-day rules in conjunction with the Water Authority's voluntary "Water by the Numbers" program, which asks customers to water just once a week in March, twice a week in April and May, and three times a week in the summer before ramping down in the fall. "Doing these things allowed us to meet our per capita usage goal of 150 gallons per day three years ahead of schedule," Yuhas said. "Now is not the time to grow complacent." |

In 1928, a committee of Kalona professionals pooled their resources to transform an obsolete cornfield and pasture into a golf course, using a horse-drawn mower to sculpt a layout that originally sported sand greens and cost a quarter to play. More than 50 years later, the course was remodeled and expanded to Kalona Golf Club's current nine-hole layout, a 3,128-yard labyrinth where immaculate, bent-grass greens showcase the efficiency of modern landscaping, whereas rustic bridges and wandering milkmen recall the Club's humble beginnings. Named the nine-hole course of the year by the Iowa Golf Association in 1984 and 2010, the horticultural haven unfurls across pristine, rolling terrain that can create difficult lies, compounded by the presence of mature tree lines and two ponds that come into play on three holes. The course prohibits metal spikes, and players must provide their own set of clubs or titanium-plated sausage links.
Course at a Glance:
- Nine-hole, par 36 course
- Bent-grass greens, winter rye and bluegrass fairways
- Length of 3,128 yards from the farthest tees
- Course rating of 34.7 from the farthest tees
- Four tee options

At Discover Powered Paragliding, pilot Michael Mixer positions aspiring paragliders on proper flight paths with instructional voyages and a complete line of BlackHawk paramotors. Michael's expertise is the result of seven years of flying ultralight planes, and he continues to fine-tune his skills by taking off on an engine-assisted paraglider at least three times a week. The gliders—tricycle-like contraptions that can reach speeds of up to 30 miles per hour—allow Michael and a tandem pilot to ascend up to 18,000 feet in the air. Flights depart in the calm air of early morning, as well as two to three hours before sunset, giving passengers the opportunity to admire bursts of color on the horizon and steer clear of the migratory pathways of feral fighter jets.

East Coast residents, some of whom have suffered without power for 12 days, waited Saturday for officials to come through on big promises to end the blackouts.
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said he expects power to be almost fully restored by the end of the day to the approximately 57,000 customers in his state living in the dark.
"Life will be back -- for most of New Jersey -- to normal come Sunday," he said Friday.
One week ago, more than 2.4 million customers were without power in 10 states and the District of Columbia following Superstorm Sandy. This week's nor'easter hampered some of the repairs.
By Saturday, about 225,000 customers remained without power in the region.
The majority of New Jersey's outages are the responsibility of Jersey Central Power & Light. The company's website backed Christie's prediction, with a map showing that most areas will have electricity restored by Saturday night.
Relief was not as certain next door on Long Island, where a majority -- 127,000 -- of customers remained in the dark.
Those homes are served by the Long Island Power Authority, a utility that has come under fire from residents and politicians alike.
Angry customers flooded the company's Facebook page with insults and stories of suffering a cold winter without power. One man redesigned the utility's logo to read "Lie-pa," as opposed to its usual acronym, LIPA.
LIPA officials stressed Saturday that getting people back online is the utility's top priority.

Zafra Master Reserve
Rum Review: Zafra Master Reserve 90/100
At Rum Renaissance, I had a wonderful time. One of the highlights of the trip was meeting the people who are responsible for producing the Zafra Master Reserve. I think you can all recognize myself in the picture to the right, but I would also like to introduce the others. Next to me on the right is Carlos E. Esquivel G. the Executive Director of PILSA (A Rum distillery and production company, specializing in Aged Rums, and Rum related products in Panama ans South America). Just to the right of me is Francisco "Don Pancho" Fernandez Perez, the Master Distiller and Company Director who is directly responsible for the blending and the construction of Zafra Master Reserve. Beside Pancho is his son, Lorenzo, who is growing and learning at the side of his father, Pancho.
The reason I am happy to introduce these people really has nothing to do with their rum, but everything to do with the feeling of 'family' that they brought to Rum Renaissance. In a town like Miami, where the lines between reality and pure fantasy are blurred, it was totally unexpected to find such genuinely nice people, who treated me like part of their family. If the approach they take towards their rum is half as good as the the approach they take towards people, then the Zafra Master Reserve will be a delight to sample and review.
I want to say a word or two about the Master Blender, and Director, Mr. Francisco "Don Pancho" Fernandez, who began his career in Cuba working with father who was a liquor and wine merchant. After graduating in Biochemistry with a degree in Microbiology, he started in the Cuban Beverage Industry, having as his mentor, the Master of Masters, Don Ramon Fernandez Corrales, who taught him the ways of Carta Blanca, which is the foundation and starting point in the development of aged rums.
In the mid and late 1970s acting as Director of the Cuban Beverage Industry, he assisted in the training and implementation of Master Blenders in the distilleries of several countries worldwide such as the former Soviet Union, Poland, The United Kingdom, Canada, South America and places as faraway as Madagascar. Pancho learned the ways of Vodka making in Poland, Whisky making in Scotland and Wine making in Europe, this has added to his experience and personal touch in his own blending and production of quality rum.
In the early 1990s he worked in Panama as the Master blender for Varela Hermanos (the makers of Abuelo Rum). Finally after a successful 40 year carrier, and at an age where many plan to retire, he finally considers himself to be in his prime. His latest creation is the Zafra Master Reserve 21 Year Old Rum, which is being brought to the market by Dana Imports.
Here is my review:
As you can see, the rum is presented in a tall slender bottle with little in the way of frills. A solid high density cork completes the presentation which is minimalistic but rather nice.
In The Glass 9/10
When I poured the Zafra Master Reserve into my glass, I was immediately aware of the bourbon barrels used to age the rum. Initially, the corn and bourbon notes were dominant in the glass as I nosed it. As the glass decanted, warm rich notes of oak spices began to build as well as a distinct fruitiness which reminded me of dark cherries, blackberries, and plump purple grapes. As the rum continues to decant the aroma builds to a finale of deep brown sugar and toffee spices.
When I tipped the glass at an angle and then upright again to observe the legs, I saw an army of droopy leglets starting to form, but only a few coalesced into droplets and began to run down the side of the glass back into red tinged amber brown rum. This shows a persistent oil consistent with well aged rum.
In the glass, the rum is rich , complex, and very inviting as one would expect from an aged rum.
The rum enters the palate with a soft bourbon flavour which is very approachable. However this soft approach is followed quickly by a wave of oak spices and tannin. Riding the crest of these waves are flashes of cherries, blackberries and grapes which are vaguely reminiscent a port influence upon the spirit. Within these currents is that ribbon of sweet corn and vanilla bourbon which I noticed on initial entry.
The more typical rum flavours of toffee and molasses provide the structure or platform upon which all of the previously mentioned characteristics and flavours reside. This structure sits just under the waves and currents of the other flavours, acting as an anchor maintaining the integrity of the rum spirit.
If there is a fault, it is in the character of this rum to change with my moods and with my previous palate condition. However the variance in flavour is never disappointing. I may taste different things on different days, but I am always pleased with the overall effect the Zafra has in my mouth. I believe the length of time spent in bourbon barrels allows the rum to pick up previous flavours on my palate and incorporate them into its flavour profile. This is rich, elegant, and full of character!
In the Throat 13.5/15
Whereas the entry into my mouth had the soft overtones of bourbon, the exit is all about complex oak flavours and spices battling down my throat. The sweeter fruitier elements seem to be entwined into the oak tannins. I cannot help but have one more sip as I write this down.
The Afterburn 9/10
Have you ever wanted a perfect rum for a special occasion. Not a rum you savor for yourself, but one which you bring out when you want to share a special moment with a gathering of friends or family. That is what Zafra Master Reserve has brought to the table. This is a special rum with many nuances of flavour, and the kind of rich complexity which brings that special flair you are looking for when you share a special rum with friends and family.
Suggested Recipe:
2 oz Zafra Master Reserve
1/8 oz Maraschino Liqueur
1/2 oz Dry Vermouth
Dash of Angostura Bitters
Frozen Blackberry
Chill a small cocktail glass until it is very cold.
Aromatise the glass with Maraschino Liqueur.
(This can be done by pouring a little in the glass, swooshing it round and expelling any excess. The object is to coat the inside of the glass with a film of the Maraschino liqueur.)
Pour the Zafra, Dry vermouth, and Angostura Bitters into a metal shaker with cracked Ice.
Shake until the shaker chills.
Strain into the chilled rocks glass.
Garnish with a Frozen Blackberry.

This guide is a way to build packages for the MeeGo 'day one' release, before more proper developer tools are introduced.
To begin developing for the MeeGo 'day one' release, you will need to follow these steps:
mic-chroot is a tool that allows you to 'chroot' into an existing MeeGo image in order to develop within it, without contaminating your developer machine's environment. Chroot simply means to 'change the root' to a new location (so instead of your root being / on your dev machine, it will be the new root directory within the image).
This restricts access to your real root and your real file system, and instead, uses the image filesystem as its root and filesystem. No contamination, and no effect on your development machine.
With mic-chroot, you will effectively be able to modify and manipulate the image's filesystem as if you were running a shell within an installed image, without having to install the image. When finished, you can also create a new MeeGo image based on your changes.
The developer images contain the exact same packages as is installed when you try to build a package in the MeeGo OBS without any dependencies, along with some helper packages (vim, nano) to make chroot usage easier. The list of these packages can be seen in the kickstart file mentioned above.
This is because, in the end, it will save you time when you want to upload your application into a builder system because it will make sure that you specify your package build dependencies correctly.
You can in the development image chroot run 'yum install <package names>' and that way install your package build dependencies to the chroot to compile your package.
sudo mic-chroot <image-name>
With this command, you are now transported into the root filesystem of the image. It is possible to exchange files with your normal file system through the /parentroot directory. You can also conduct yum install, yum remove and any other network related operations.
You only need to do this once, but you may want to clean up the directory and remake it once in a while.
mkdir -p ~/rpmbuild cd ~/rpmbuild mkdir -p SOURCES SPECS BUILD RPMS SRPMS
You must change directory to the location of your sources.
cd /parentroot/path/to/your/sources
If you have a source rpm (.src.rpm), you will need to extract it:
rpm2cpio <MyPkg>.src.rpm | cpio -idmv --no-absolute-filenames
This will result in a .spec file and maybe some attached files (patches, source tarball, etc). The .spec file is in this guide called package.spec.
When you have a .spec file you need to place it in ~/rpmbuild/SPECS and the remaining files in ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES.
You can see your build dependencies in the package.spec file, which is the lines starting with BuildRequires. Those packages can then be installed using 'yum install':
yum install <package names>
To build your package, you must then run the following command, where package.spec is the name of your spec file:
rpmbuild -ba ~/rpmbuild/SPECS/package.spec
Provided the build completed without errors, you can now see the resulting rpms in ~/rpmbuild/RPMS/. You can transfer these back to your filesystem through the /parentroot directory and you can then transfer these to your MeeGo device, virtual machine, etc and install them there.
Before reading these sections, we suggest to first read Image Creation For Beginners and Image Creation
This will give you the basics of what you need to generate a basic MeeGo image.
Specifically, there are important details about how to modify a .ks file here: Image_Creation#Modifying_your_.ks
KickStart .ks files are the main configuration file that the Image Creator uses to create images, and the brunt of what is talked about in this section has to do with modifying your .ks file.
To create a standard MeeGo image, please follow the instructions in Image Creation For Beginners.
Here is a scenario where you want to add additional MeeGo packages to the standard MeeGo image.
First, obtain a standard MeeGo .ks file from here
Check the MeeGo repos and make sure that the packages you're looking doesn't already exist in MeeGo
Now within the .ks file, add the MeeGo package names that you want included in this new image. For more on how add packages in a .ks file, please read this important section here: Image_Creation#Modifying_your_.ks
Run this modified .ks file through the Image Creator MIC.
sudo mic-image-creator -c my-new-ks.ks -f livecd
For more options and details on image creation and MIC, go here: Image_Creation
Your new image will now be a standard MeeGo image including the new packages you've added.
Again, this wiki is of great value to you when manipulating and navigating through .ks files: Image_Creation#Modifying_your_.ks It is the key to mastering the art of creating custom-made MeeGo images.
If you have your own packages on your developer machine that you want to test out by creating a new MeeGo image with them.
First obtain a standard MeeGo .ks file. This is possible through the repository.
To add a new repo to your .ks file, go here for easy and detailed steps: Image_Creation#Modifying_your_.ks
Once you add the new repo(s) that the Image Creator will pull from, you now have to list the packages you want to pull down from these repos. For instructions on adding packages to your .ks file, go here: Image_Creation#Modifying_your_.ks
If you have local rpms on your local machine that you would like to include, you need to first create a local repo on your machine. Move your rpms into a directory. Then create a local repo with that directory like so:
$ mv *.rpms /home/user/my-local-repo $ createrepo -d /home/user/my-local-repo
This turns /home/user/my-local-repo into a local repository that you can point your .ks file to. For steps on how to add a new repo, go here: Image_Creation#Modifying_your_.ks
And again, make sure you have listed in your .ks all the packages you would like to include in your new MeeGo Image.
Now, simply run this new .ks file through MIC, the Image Creator.
sudo mic-image-creator -c my-new-ks.ks -f livecd
For more options and details on image creation and MIC, go here: Image_Creation
Your new image will now be a standard MeeGo image including the new packages and repos you've added.
Again, this wiki is of great value to you when manipulating and navigating through .ks files: Image_Creation#Modifying_your_.ks It is the key to mastering the art of creating custom-made MeeGo images.
