set_mempolicy - set default NUMA memory policy for a process and its children.SYNOPSIS
#include <numaif.h> int set_mempolicy(int policy, unsigned long *nodemask, unsigned long maxnode);
set_mempolicy() sets the NUMA memory policy of the calling process to policy.A NUMA machine has different memory controllers with different distances to specific CPUs. The memory policy defines in which node memory is allocated for the process.
This system call defines the default policy for the process; in addition a policy can be set for specific memory ranges using mbind(2). The policy is only applied when a new page is allocated for the process. For anonymous memory this is when the page is first touched by the application.
Available policies are MPOL_DEFAULT, MPOL_BIND, MPOL_INTERLEAVE, MPOL_PREFERRED. All policies except MPOL_DEFAULT require the caller to specify the nodes to which the policy applies in the nodemask parameter. nodemask is pointer to a bit field of nodes that contains up to maxnode bits. The bit field size is rounded to the next multiple of sizeof(unsigned long), but the kernel will only use bits up to maxnode.
The MPOL_DEFAULT policy is the default and means to allocate memory locally, i.e., on the node of the CPU that triggered the allocation. nodemask should be specified as NULL.
The MPOL_BIND policy is a strict policy that restricts memory allocation to the nodes specified in nodemask. There won't be allocations on other nodes.
MPOL_INTERLEAVE interleaves allocations to the nodes specified in nodemask. This optimizes for bandwidth instead of latency. To be effective the memory area should be fairly large, at least 1MB or bigger.
MPOL_PREFERRED sets the preferred node for allocation. The kernel will try to allocate in this node first and fall back to other nodes if the preferred node is low on free memory. Only the first node in the nodemask is used. If no node is set in the mask, then the memory is allocated on the node of the CPU that triggered the allocation allocation (like MPOL_DEFAULT).
The memory policy is preserved across an execve(2), and is inherited by child processes created using fork(2) or clone(2).
On success, set_mempolicy() returns 0; on error, -1 is returned and errno is set to indicate the error.CONFORMING TO
This system call is Linux specific.NOTES
Process policy is not remembered if the page is swapped out.Versions and Library Support

Ask any hockey prospect New York Ranger or New York Islander if being able to score a "Teddy Bear" goal is not a special moment in their career. It is one of the best holiday traditions among the juniors and college hockey.
The "Teddy Bear Toss" is an annual event where fans are encouraged to bring stuffed animals to a designated game and when the home team has scored their first goal of the game to toss the animals on the ice.
Tonight's Star Steven Fogarty
It is one thing to score a "Teddy Bear" Goal as that is an automatic star but Steven Fogarty (NYR 2011 3rd) made his night a legit night with a 1-2-3 evening to help his Penticton Vees stretch their unbeaten streak to 7 games after a 4-1 win over the Merritt Centennials.
Fogarty's 12th goal of the season at 7:37 of the first period got the stuffed animals airborne as he gave the Vees a 1-0 lead that they would not give back. The full story of Fogarty and the other Ranger prospects can be found here.
No Islander prospect in our eyes really stood out as you had a 2 goal performance by Brock Nelson but 1 was an empty netter.
Corey Trivino had a goal which helped Boston University win but it was an insurance goal. And of the Islander prospects who played none earned a star or did something that made their performance stand out.
The Islander report can be found right here
We will leave you with what for us was the best "Teddy Bear" goal as it is the only one we know of that was a game winning goal in overtime. Current Ranger Michael Sauer did his imitation of Brian Leetch and went end to end setting up teammate Kyle Bailey for a 1-0 win.

Best Social PR Guides and Tips of 2010 (So Far)

Read on to learn how social media is changing PR, how pitching bloggers is different from traditional media outreach, how to optimize press releases for search and online distribution, which tools should be in your social PR toolbox and more here in some of the best articles and blog posts on social PR of 2010 so far.

Will Traditional, Social Media Blend?
Social Media Outreach for Beginners
Sprout Social
But if you're trying to distribute a press release or company news, you'd probably want to check the journalists box. In 2015 Twitter released an update that allows you to DM anyone, even if they aren't following you. Alltop. Alltop is a huge repository of content from around the web for almost any topic you can think of. It's spam.
The Devolving Civility Situation
Geoff Livingston
But sometimes pausing before pressing "enter" makes a big difference, particularly when we are angry. Here's a man they worshipped for years; seeking his attention, putting Alltop badges on their blogs, clamoring for pictures with him at conferences, and generally treating him like social media royalty. So why bother? Pick your battles. Some Thoughts on Last Week.
Blogger Outreach is Media Relations
Try a blog aggregator like Alltop or Regator , use Google Blog Search or read the blogrolls (blog suggestions) on other blogs you like. If you're pressed for time, at least read the about page to see what the bloggers write about and what their affiliations are. Is blogger outreach really a new service offering? I don't think so. How will your message vary across channels?

Fifty years ago, while her husband was in the military and stationed in Japan, Lance's grandmother bought a lovely Brother sewing machine. She has now handed it down to Lance's wife. The nice thing is that she still had the manual, but that manual is only in Japanese, since the machine was only sold on the Japanese market. The machine has all kinds of advanced features that Mrs. Lance can't access, because she can't read Japanese. Maybe, Lance thought, Brother has the manual available for purchase, or even in digital form.
Brother Sends My Printer On Vacation In Florida, Not Back To Me
Cyndi's new multifunction inkjet printer malfunctioned just after the 14-day return period was over. Isn't that always how it ends up? Not by design on the company's part, of course, but it feels that way when you depend on a printer like Cyndi does. She contacted Brother's tech support, and ultimately they sent her a refurbished replacement. Yay! Except that they sent it to Orlando, Florida. Cyndi does not live there. How did the printer end up there? No one knows. [More]

Martha Beatrice Potter Webb was an English socialist, economist and reformer, usually referred to in the same breath as her husband, Sidney Webb. Although her husband became Baron Passfield in 1929, she refused to be known as Lady Passfield.
Beatrice Webb was born in Gloucester, the granddaughter of a Radical MP, Richard Potter. In 1882, she had a relationship with Radical politician Joseph Chamberlain, by then a Cabinet minister. This was a failure, and in 1890 she was introduced to Sidney Webb, whose help she sought in research she was carrying out for her cousin, Charles Booth, whose Life and Labour of the People of London categorised the poorest into class A: "Vicious: borderline semi criminal" or class B "Casual earnings, very poor. The labourers do not get as much as three days work a week, but it is doubtful if many could or would work full time for long together if they had the opportunity". Marrying Sidney in 1892, the two remained together. Beatrice was an active partner in all Sidney's political and professional activities, including the organisation of the Fabian Society and the establishment of the London School of Economics. She co-authored books such as the History of Trade Unionism , and was co-founder of the New Statesman magazine .

"Religion is love; in no case is it logic"
Beatrice Potter Webb
". . . if I had been a man, self-respect, family pressure and the public opinion of my class would have pushed me into a money-making profession; as a mere woman I could carve out a career of disinterested research."
"So much perfection argues rottenness somewhere."
"If I ever felt inclined to be timid as I was going into a room full of people, I would say to myself, 'You're the cleverest member of one of the cleverest families in the cleverest class of the cleverest nation. . . why should you be frightened?'"

Lets all give a little listen to the Devonshire [UK] four piece known as Hey Molly. With over 18 different varieties of beer and cider on their jeans, their home made hair cuts and their DIY touring, these lads are never really at home unless they are in their transit van playing town to town eight days a week. With their continously changing live stage shows, the lads who dont even know the meaning of the words "set list" (as it would never go to plan if to be written), play an exciting set of catchy scratchy original songs to make you dance sing and play with the person you thought you'd never play with. |

MOUNTAIN PRIDE The Pride of Savage Valley, Book 1 HELENA RAY ISBN #: 1610347471 August 2011 Siren Publishing www.sirenpublishing.com E Book $ 5.99 158 pages Paranormal Erotic Romance/Ménage Rating: 4 Cups
Chelsea Goebel is a young woman just recently divorced from her high school sweetheart. The divorce also left her unemployed and unsure of herself. She is quite beautiful, but does not see herself as such.
Oliver Cash is the Mayor of Savage Valley and the alpha of the local mountain lion shifter pride. He is strong, handsome, but very serious and concerned about the welfare of his town.
Roarke Cash is Oliver's brother and a member of the town council. He is his brother's second, but much more lighthearted and charming than the alpha.
Chelsea is on a free vacation to a singles resort in the mountains courtesy of her travel writer best friend. She is not interested in a new relationship, much less a permanent one with two men, but the men of Savage Valley have a unique situation due to an ancient curse. A more recent problem threatens the town and Chelsea and the brothers must show her their true nature so they can all have a happily ever after.
This is a well-written and engaging story with two very sexy alpha males and a strong heroine who has suffered some pretty devastating setbacks in her life without being broken. The plot is full of action and erotically charged love scenes. Oliver and Roarke might be brothers, but they have very different personalities and methods of wooing Chelsea. Their concern for their town is more than admirable, but Chelsea could have used a bit more of their attention. I really liked the other residents of the town and I would definitely like to read more about her friend, Marta. I was also intrigued by the idea of bear shifters as well as mountain lion ones in the town.

I could not possibly be more delighted by the notion of keeping a box of eyebrows around for different expressions.
Now, I've mentioned in the past that Adam also has a bizarre way of waking up. He often snaps directly from a deep sleep to fully awake and aware, generally with some sort of completely sensible and relevant declaration.
On the morning in question, I was lying next to him, awake, but resting with my eyes closed, when he suddenly awoke with a declaration of his need to urinate. I'll admit that, in the following conversation, I may have exaggerated in accusing him of "shouting." In my defense, though, you'll have to believe that it was a lot louder than the recorder, which was buried under the covers, picked up.

ADAM: | (suddenly snaps awake) Must pee. (gets up and pads to the bathroom) |
KAREN: | How did you know I was awake, and you weren't necessarily waking me up by suddenly shouting "must pee?" |
ADAM: | The "must pee" was for my benefit, to motivate me into getting out of bed. |
KAREN: | I know, but how did you know I wasn't dead asleep? |
ADAM: | I saw your light come on. |
KAREN: | When? |
ADAM: | Just now. |
KAREN: | Yeah, just this second, AFTER you shouted and were already in the bathroom. |
ADAM: | Oh. I don't know.... Were you awake? |

One of the features it includes is "byte mode" where you can read the source file from byte to byte. This might be helpfull if the source media has lots of small scratches. The "byte mode" may use a large amount of your systems resources and the restoring procedure will taking much longer. However it is more likely to recover those discs with the most damage. With GMVB you can save jobs and continue them later, using the previously restorefeature in this aplication. We cant guarentee it will save your files but it uses the latest technolgy and is your best chance of saving the media. GMVB also has a sector map that can help you to see the full progress of the restore procedure. You can see the count of errors and the skipped data size. The software also has a log file that that lets you know just what type of error could be on the disc. Related softwares |

Judge Orders Rancho Mirage To Let Medical Marijuana Store Open
Desert Heart Collective Opened In 2010, Shut Down By City In 2011
INDIO, Calif. - A Riverside County judge ruled in favor of a medical marijuana dispensary on Tuesday and ordered the city of Rancho Mirage to have a building inspected for code violations and to issue a certificate of occupancy
Desert Heart Collective, which is owned by four people, opened in 2010 and was later shut down by the city. The owners filed a $2 million lawsuit against Rancho Mirage on Feb. 3, 2011.
Rancho Mirage law prohibits storefront dispensaries "due to the significant negative secondary effects that such dispensaries have been found to create -- such as increased crime," City Attorney Steve Quintanilla said in a written statement.
Quintanilla and attorneys for Desert Heart Collective argued Tuesday before Riverside County Superior Court Judge Randall D. White on Desert Heart's motion for a writ of mandate requiring the city to conduct a code inspection and consider issuing a certificate of occupancy to the collective, according to court papers.
In opposing the motion, city attorneys argued that requiring the city to issue the permit would "affirmatively authorize and entitle a medical marijuana dispensary to operate in the city."
"Such an affirmative authorization is not contemplated by state law, and would potentially subject the city to federal prosecution. The city should not be forced to issue any entitlements that would ostensibly authorize a federally designated illegal use," city attorneys wrote.
Attorneys for the collective countered that issuing the permit gives the permit holder "the option to conduct an activity."
"It does not constitute a command to conduct the activity. Moreover, simply issuing the permit does not involve handling marijuana or any other activity that is illegal under federal law," attorneys for the collective wrote in their reply to the city's opposition.
White had previously ruled that Rancho Mirage's ban on medical marijuana dispensaries was invalid without resolving the damages claim. In January, he ordered the collective's owners to produce financial records and evidence of their claims. Quintanilla said the city will appeal White's ruling on its dispensaries ban.
He said the California Supreme Court is reviewing cases involving the rights of four cities -- Riverside, Long Beach, Dana Point and Upland -- to regulate or prohibit dispensaries. A decision is not expected for about a year, he said.
California law allows dispensaries to operate on a nonprofit basis. Riverside County has a ban on storefront cannabis clubs and is in the process of shutting several down in unincorporated communities.

When I was a small boy my grandfather taught me how to bodysurf along the beaches of what is now Wailea. At the time none of the roads were paved and there were no hotels -- just sun, sand and the sea. It's nice to be a Ho'olei owner and to be able to bring our family, friends and guests to such a memorable piece of paradise, and with all the comforts of home. Richard and Patty Keller
The Owner purchased this condo in 2009
Maui is the most spectacular and varied of the Hawaiian islands, and Wailea is the best location on Maui. It's sunny in Wailea when it's raining everywhere else; Wailea has little humidity and boasts the best white sand beaches on the island. We chose our Ho'olei town home because of its wonderful postcard view of the Pacific Ocean and the entire island of Lanai, as well as it's close proximity to the pools, recreation area, the Grand Wailea Resort and the beaches.
It was really a pleasure to rent this home. Bill was very easy to work with, even though we were booking at the last minute. The property is super nice, the staff at Ho'olei is amazingly helpful, the convenience to the Grand Wailea is a big plus. Loved to just hang out (and nap) on the large lanai - so peaceful. The home is decorated with style and class. Really spacious and luxurious. Could not have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend

Travel reviews by Ms. S - London
Gotta come back!
On this trip, I visited Botswana between 26-Nov-2011 and 8-Dec-2011 and I travelled with 1 other person.
We had a very short time, tacked onto the end of a conference in Livingstone. Obviously, we've barely scratched the surface.
After talking to the Muchenje people and other people on the road, the next trip will be in August, taking in Namibia and Okavango maybe in a DIY trip with 4WD. OK, dream on ..

THE WORLD HAS BEEN INVADED BY ALIENS! It's up to a nerdy, lazy high school kid to save it!
3.81 / 5.00 7,861 Views-READ THE HISTORY AT THE LOADING SCREEN-
This collab is relatively different from most collabs, it basically is ONE story line divided into 5 sections, and each section created by a different artist through their own artistic opinion on how it might have been.
i was very lucky to find the animators i found for the collab, i like em all because their styles are so different, and i think that in a collaboration project its always nice to bring different styles together and see how one thing can be viewed through different perspectives. But, now speaking of the animators i have to honestly admit that i am extremely thrilled to have someone aboard the project like Luis, i remember back when i was just starting Flash, my brother and i used his "Grime vs. Squeezy" bit as a good example of a flash animation for a long time. so it's funny to end up in the same boat now. That was just a little factoid i for some eason felt that i needed to point out.
...This collab was first started off by a good friend of mine, i was only an animator making a part in his collab. but a few things got in his way and he didn't have time to get it all done, so he handed the project to me. and due to technical complications with members of the collab and information about this and that, i decided to completely redesign it and start from scratch.
since i already have SO many projects I'm working on i at first thought about accepting to lead this collab, but i think this idea was really interesting and would allow me and other animators to experiment with their more serious side. plus, i always wanted to make a Noire movie, or something along those lines for Newgrounds, and i thought this was the perfect opportunity.
anyways, this is the "Valentine '29" collaboration project, my first collab, maybe my last... but who knows. i hope you all ENJOY...
-Hans Van Harken
Really well done
It's awesome to see a flash being made on a rarely talked about subject.
Mostly Awesome.
everything except the second part was absolutely awesome. the second part kinda sucked. Had nothing to do with anything.
Second Short
The Second Part I Didnt Like When They Were On The Roof It Didnt Seem As If They Made It Serious

Save money on speaker wire
Don't buy Monster Cable for $55, it works no better than regular 24 gage copper wire, the kind you would find in a lamp cord. The same length would cost about $1.80 at your local hardware store. There is no difference in sound quality. Don't fall for expensive speaker wires, it is a marketing ploy.
4 comments:

Actually, THHN wire makes excellent speaker wire, as well. Buy two lengths (I often buy one red and one black length of wire), and clamp the ends of the two wires in a vice. Put the two remaining ends in a cordless drill, and twist until it's even throughout the length of your speaker cable. I use electrical tape every 1' to keep it from unraveling.
With this method, you'll not only save money, but you'll also improve the quality of sound, especially if you're using larger speakers or a subwoofer.

"Halle Berry received medical treatment after wind blew some dust in her eye on the set while filming an action sequence," a studio source said, adding that she returned to work immediately and suffered only minor discomfort.
The injury was the second reported on the set of the film coming after 49-year-old Brosnan was laid low for two weeks after hurting his knee.
Berry last month became the first ever African-American actress to win the best actress Oscar when she took the statuette for her role in the racially-charged film Monster's Ball.

Champagne - Sometimes
Yes, that's a bottle of champagne in my otherwise sober fridge - can you spot the bottle's slender, golden neck?
I hardly ever drink alcohol but champagne is the one alcoholic beverage I really enjoy. It's one of my luxuries, albeit a very rare one, and something I learned from my parents: they always keep a bottle of champagne in the fridge because you never know when you'll have something to celebrate; and if all we have to celebrate is just being together for a meal, it can also be reason enough to pop that beautiful, fragrant champagne cork.

I'm so glad this family experience was so enjoyable. Yes, we always have a bottle of Champagne in the fridge.
- Leia said...
I don't drink alcohol, but I think it's such a nice tradition to have something at the ready for celebrations :) I've always wondered why champagne is drunk on happy occasions!
I love family meals and definitely think it's a reason to be happy. When I'm at home in Bangladesh, we eat together as a family twice a day - lunch and dinner, but only dinner for those who work. I really miss that when I'm at university and definitely want to carry on the tradition when I start a family of my own! - 12:54 AM
- Mary-Laure said...
LAURA - how could it not be enjoyable?
LEIA - yes I agree with you, it's wonderful to have meals together as a family. I missed it SO MUCH when I left home for the first time...
And I think you really understood the idea: it's not about the champagne, and certainly not about the alcohol, it's really about sharing something nice to celebrate. I also like to celebrate with pastry!
I'd love to hear more about your family meals in Bangladesh, what you eat and enjoy... - 1:43 AM
- Beth said...
Champagne makes my throat tickle - I end up coughing and sputtering – not a sophisticated sight. But I do like your idea of always being ready to celebrate – any time, any occasion...
Your fridge is so neat and uncluttered! - 4:15 AM
- Deidra said...
I've never thought to keep champagne on hand. What a wonderful idea!
- Angie Muresan said...
I believe champagne on a whim is an elegant way to live.
- Sam said...
Champers!! Yipee! I'm a huge fan of Champagne too! What a neat fridge you have!!
- karina Manghi said...
Me encanta eso de estar lista para festejar!!!!
Me voy a comprar un Champagne ya mismo! - 6:42 AM
- Debra said...
Oh I couldn't agree more- we always have a bottle chilling. Stop over and see a small portion of my hat collection. Would love to see some of yours...along with those great white shirts!
- eatlivetravelwrite said...
Lovely to see inside your fridge!!! When I lived in Paris, I always had champagne in my fridge. These days it's more like tonic or even Lillet.... I should get back into the habit.
- Mary-Laure said...
BETH - yes I like keeping my fridge very neat...
ANGIE - and a happy way to live!
SAM - champers??? Is that what you call it in Australia? It's cute.
DEBRA - hats? you need not say more, I'll check it out.
EAT... - I had no idea you had lived in Paris. I hope you enjoyed it. - 8:32 AM
- eatlivetravelwrite said...
Mary Laure - yup - close to 6 tears! Moved to Toronto because of my husband... (sigh) but we get back to Paris most years... (roll on December!)
- If Jane said...
oh lovely!!! i love champagne...
..and i celebrate everyday: i use my silver ware always. who decided that it should only be brought out on special occasions?
imagine: cereal with a silver spoon...every monring...;)) - 12:13 PM
- Mary-Laure said...
EAT... - I will be in Paris in December too! Maybe we could meet up for a cup of tea...
IF JANE - I am 100% with you on that one. I love using beautiful things in daily life.
I can picture you having your cereal with a silver spoon, like a modern princess - so cool! - 12:30 PM
- mansuetude said...
ahh... : )
i see that blueberry preserves back there... do i not? - 12:53 PM
- donna baker said...
Yes your frig looks spare, but I guess that is how you keep slim. At least you love pastry which I could live on. Champagne is my fav too, though me and my family rarely drink to celebrate or anything else. Maybe I'll buy a bottle.
- eatlivetravelwrite said...
Mary Laure - if our dates work that would be great. We arrive on Dec 19th.
Mardi (oui, comme le jour...) - 1:07 PM
- Mary-Laure said...
MANSUETUDE - yes! it is indeed my mum's delicious blueberry preserve. I just polished off the first jar today. One more to go...
DONNA - it doesn't have to be champagne, it can be anything you all like and that spells HAPPINESS.
About my fridge being not packed with goodies: it's because any treat is eaten within minutes of purchase!
And my pantry is packed with chocolate.
EAT... - Mardi, the dates should work, how cool! I've met several bloggers over the years and it was always wonderful.
I'm going to look up your email address on your blog. Or you can also email me:

- Hila said...
ah, we've received similar education from our parents. I don't drink much either, but I always have a good bottle of wine around.
- Solange said...
You got it right, again, we also always have some champagne in the fridge. Hardly drink alchohol myself, but champagne, well, it's a whole different thing right ;-) ?
Keep this tradition going!
have a good weekend dear. - 7:39 AM
- apriliniowa said...
I love champagne in the summer but I never think to keep a bottle (of anything for that matter) to celebrate with and really should. It's a wonderful idea and a wonderful tradition for your family to pass on. Enjoy your weekend.
- Mary-Laure said...
HILA - this makes me think of what Tolstoy said about all happy families being alike...
SOLANGE - oh yes champagne is different!
APRILINIOWA - there's always a reason to celebrate! - 2:19 PM
- janis said...
I admire your orderly fridge!

Soluto: the best PC to run Windows is the MacBook Pro
A new study by a cloud-based PC admin software maker, Soluto, concludes that bloatware included on most Windows PC notebooks by the manufacturers is harming the Windows experience to such an extent that the best portable on which to run Windows is now Apple's MacBook Pro. In part this is because, like the other PC models judged to be the most reliable, the Mac requires a "clean" copy of Windows. The company gathered boot-up times, crash or hang incidents, background process logs and BSOD reports from 150,000 notebook PCs to come up with the rankings.

 While the mid-2012 13-inch MacBook Pro took the top prize, the 15-inch Retina model also placed in the top 10, in sixth place. It is worth noting that the $1,200 price of the 13-inch MBP was roughly $700 higher than the second-place entry, the Acer Aspire E1-571, though the latter machine is in an entirely different and lower class of Windows portable than the premium MacBook Pro. Surprisingly, another "flagship" notebook, Lenovo's Thinkpad X1 Carbon (which sells for around the same price as the 13-inch MBP) was dead last on the top 10 list.

 The company pointed out that getting Windows running on the MacBook Pro was an extra step compared to machines with Windows pre-installed, though many professional Windows users do a clean reinstall anyway in search of better stability. According to the survey, the MacBook Pro averaged one "hang" per week, but actual crashes were less common and BSODs were unheard of.

 The average boot time 151 seconds, a little above average, and twice as long as some models. On background processes, however, the two Macs had the lowest scores of any model. Even more surprising than the inclusion of Apple on a "most reliable PCs" list is the fact that three of the largest PC portable manufacturers -- HP, Asus and Samsung -- didn't even make the list.

 Soluto did not mention what version of Windows was running on the laptops in their summary, but the survey was limited to only models still available and which had Windows installed on them in the last 12 months, and the company later said about 10 percent were running Windows 8 (with the rest running Windows 7). Overall, the study found that machines would experience a crash on about one in six boots, and a BSOD in about one in 12 boots.

 Many of the issues were blamed in an analysis by ZDNet on added-on software provided by manufacturers, known as "bloatware" since customers rarely like or use it. It is curious that Microsoft has shown no interest in controlling the bloatware issue, as Microsoft may be being unfairly blamed for problems that don't stem from its actual product.

 Soluto says it will conduct a future study in which only clean installs of Windows are used on all machines to determine overall reliability, but the conclusions of the study seem clear: if the advantages of the Mac -- the ability to run all three major operating systems stably, the integration of hardware and software, a best-of-breed trackpad, style and polish -- are more important to a buyer, the ability of the MacBook Pro to run Windows as well or better than actual Windows PCs should be a factor in the buying decision. If price is the major factor, be prepared for a less-reliable system and unwanted software.

 |
"While the mid-2012 13-inch MacBook Pro took the top price,"
No. It took the top Soluto score, second in price. |
That's actually meant to be "prize." Thanks for catching that, I'll have them fix it.
All PC's sold through Microsoft's online or retail stores all come with "Microsoft Signature," which is essentially a fresh install of Windows with no bloatware, among other benefits.
Also, it hardly seems fair to test machines from one manufacturer with a fresh install of Windows and all the others with the bloatware-ridden installs of Windows. If the intention is to determine which manufacturer makes the most reliable hardware (since the OS is the constant, at least on a fresh install), the conclusion is completely without merit. That said, Apple does make some very nice hardware. |
I disagree!
I had Windows 7 installed on my Mac Mini and the last patch I installed from Mircrosoft rendered Mac OS's NTSF partition un-useable and unrecognizable. Mac still depends on BootCamp to run Windows. The NTSF partition created by BootCamp or third party is NOT reliable because it's still an emulator, not a true hardware based. So if anything major issue happens, Window's repair disk can't fix it unless you know how to fix the Mac's NTSF partition from the root level using Terminal...etc. What a headache. I highly recommend using pure PC hardware with the real BIOS chip..... not an emulator on Mac OS ROM. |
If you really have to use Mac, I highly recommend Parallel Desktop rather than BootCamp. At least you can backup the virtual hard drive much easily. Just don't play game on it, it's slow.

Zofeen Ebrahim*
Insurmountable hurdles seem to be coming in their way, including low government spending on public health, poor infrastructure and religio-cultural issues such as permissibility in Islam to harvest organs from the dead.
Dr S.A. Jaffar Naqvi, a prominent nephrologist and chief executive of the 'Kidney Foundation', told IPS that he has not heard of a single case of cadaveric donation since the passage of the Transplantation of Human Organs and Tissues Ordinance on Sep. 2.
Naqvi, however, was optimistic that setting up a deceased donor programme was "really not an impossible task given the philanthropic nature of the people''. ''But these programmes need the full backing and commitment from the government as well. It cannot be absolved of its duties just because of a few generous people around."
It took Pakistani doctors and activists 15 years to steer the law past powerful vested interests with stakes in a thriving 'organ bazaar' that dealt in live human kidneys transplanted to rich local people and foreigners.
For Dr Adibul Hasan Rizvi and Dr Anwar Naqvi, of the Sindh Institute of Urology and Transplantation (SIUT), Karachi, who put years of technical expertise into drafting the law, there is still reason to cheer despite the sluggish start.
However, Naqvi concedes that ''it is difficult to come to terms with the fact that your loved one is brain dead and is only alive because of life-supporting machines. For doctors, the task becomes doubly difficult convincing them (next of kin).''
"We have the expertise, all that needs to be done is to get ourselves organised and set up centres", says Dr Sajjad Hussain, a Lahore-based renal transplant surgeon. He also believes that there is no more room for debate on the ethics of retrieving an organ from a dead person. "The issue has been settled on both the Islamic and ethical fronts. I don't feel we will meet with any resistance due to that."
The ordinance stipulates that a dead person over 18 years may 'donate' any organ or tissue for transplantation. "The cases of unclaimed brain dead hospitalised patients shall be presented to an evaluation committee for transplantation after an intense search for their relatives within 24 hours,'' states the law. The idea is borrowed from the Spanish model of cadaveric donation in which a person automatically becomes a donor if he or she does not carry a card forbidding organ removal in case of sudden death.
Pakistan has had a poor track record of cadaveric donations. Before the law was passed only two persons, Naveed Anwar, 24, in 1998, and Shamim Bano, 22, in 2005, were known to have 'donated' their kidneys and corneas. Both had met with accidents and were pronounced brain dead. There are also instances of men on death row having pledged their organs.
Besides creating awareness, there are practical issues. "With just a handful of intensive care units dotting Pakistan, a miniscule national health budget, almost non-existent private investment in healthcare in remote places, untrained human resources and absence of national transplant registry software," it is a gargantuan task, says Jaffar Naqvi.
Transportation is a problem in a country where road networks are not fully developed. And few can afford the charges involved in retrieval, storage, transport and transplant, even if organs are available. Doctors point out that lack of ready transport is one reason for high maternal mortality rates in Pakistan.
Naqvi suggests initiating the programme on a small scale from a metropolis like Karachi. "That will have an impact and convince people to donate." Instead of donor cards, which many people may not be carrying all the time, doctors suggest an indication of consent on the computerised national identity card. "Almost everyone carries that. That information can eventually be used to form a national registry,'' said Anwar Naqvi.

Outstanding among the buildings of interest in Valls are the chapel of El Roser, with glazed tiles from the 17th century which commemorate the battle of Lepanto; the church of Sant Joan, which dates from the 16th century and houses the image of Mare de Déu de la Candela, from the 13th century; and the church of El Lledó, built in the 14th century.

Paris Fashion Week AW 2012...Susie
Ms Susie Lau, after the Louis Vuitton fashion train had pulled into the station, Paris, March 2012.
Rather oddly, after I decided to post these photos, I picked up the March copy of Nylon magazine (love Nylon!) and on page 138 there is a Factory Girl article by Dani Stahl about (insert excellent drum roll here) white anoraks! Dani travels to the Bebe studio in Century City and gets her very own white anorak made up by the production team. She says (page 138) "It's an excellent item, versatile, easy to pack - everyone should have an anorak. I like them so much I even love saying the word: "Anorak!" It rhymes with DJ Afrojack, which is never a bad thing (I'm really feeling house music these days)".
Hell yeah! I have no idea who DJ Afrojack is (clearly I live in a house music/dj black hole) but I am going to go right ahead and agree with everything Dani says! She ends with "The jacket is functional, but as you know, I'm more interested in the "fun" part than the, um, "-ctional" part. Like I said, fashion should be fun. And, right now, it should also be white and shaped like an anorak. Which, the way I see it, makes me right on trend" (page 140).
Recreate Susie's (and Dani's look) kind of:
Mason by Michelle Mason anorak
Topshop parachute anorak
Bebe hooded anorak
ASOS festival anorak (perfect for anyone heading to Coachella - you lucky things!It probably won't be rainy or cold, unlike festival season in the UK, but good to pack just in case)

Love Susie, she is so pretty! :) Really like her all white look with the black shoes, but I just know if I tried for a white anorack I'd stain it in 5 minutes, I'm so clumsy! haha!
AwayFromTheBlue.blogspot.com.authanks everyone! Susie is always a delight to photograph.
@Celina - thank you!! I was so happy that they included me :))) It is always lovely to receive encouragement!
@Mica - ha ha! Yeah, I am the same. White on me lasts for about a minute before I spill/drip/sit on something. Kudos to Susie for remaining pristine in her white anorak!
@Duck - correct! And cute :)You look really cute! And pictures are great :)

I'm fascinated by technology and committed to exploring ways to teach meditation more effectively. I want to use technology to reach as many people as possible in our global village, so that we can spread the benefits of mindfulness and compassion.
An amazing opportunity has come up. I won a competition and was selected by Google to explore the potential of Google Glass, the new wearable computing gizmo with a head-mounted display, voice recognition, and audio and visual recording capabilities.
This could be an amazing tool for teaching.
I'm now officially a Google Glass Explorer (or #GlassExplorer)!
You've probably heard of Google's "Project Glass." It's the virtual reality display that sits on your face like glasses, and allows you to receive and send messages, or to make video or audio recordings.
Here's a video, giving you a first person view of "what it's like."
I've been officially selected to try out Google glass, based on a submission I wrote for their competition.
On Feb 26 I wrote:

Watch this video. And ask others to watch it.
Of course in a sense our screens are doing no more to us than presenting us with sensory input, or opportunities for sensory input. And so the question is more "what are we doing with our screens," or even "what are we losing while we are attending to the input from our screens."
In my case, one of the significant things I'm losing is the quality and quantity of my sleep. I stay up too late reading. I always (thanks to the Zite and Pocket apps) have plenty of thought-provoking articles queued up, ready to read. As a consequence I end up being chronically sleep-deprived. I'm … Read more »
As you probably know, I'm keen on seeing how technology can be harnessed to enhance spiritual practice in the modern world. Wildmind was the first website, as far as I'm aware, to attempt to offer a systematic and comprehensive guide to meditation. We also were ahead of the game in offering online courses in meditation, way back in 2002. And our Google+ Community is an outstanding example of how the internet can be used to create a supportive and encouraging spiritual community.
So I was very interested to hear that Google was looking for people to explore their new virtual reality glasses, Project Glass. Here's the gist:

This is an excellent phone etiquette idea. People often want to spend more time texting the people they're not with than paying attention to the people they are with, and in doing so they deprive themselves of the opportunity to make rich emotional connections with others.
We need to develop ways, like this one, of dealing with our addictions to technology and to multitasking. Otherwise we risk becoming road-kill on the information superhighway.

Eli Greenblat, The Age: If you, like most office workers, open your email first thing in the morning, then you might be setting yourself up for a horrible day and wasting hundreds of hours a year.
The work email inbox is a "pandora's box" of nitty-gritty detail, gossip and distractions that are best dealt with later in the morning, and pressing the "send receive" button as soon as you slouch in your seat is the worst way to start your day.

I just stumbled across a lovely column by author Pico Iyer in the New York Times on "The Joy of Quiet."
He discusses how overwhelmed we are:
In barely one generation we've moved from exulting in the time-saving devices that have so expanded our lives to trying to get away from them — often in order to make more time. The more ways we have to connect, the more many of us seem desperate to unplug.
I tend to think of us — well, most of us, anyway — as being a bit like early 20th century rubes from the sticks who have just arrived on Times Square, and are dazzled by the … Read more »

The cover of Search Inside Yourself is a clever riff on Google's famous multicolored logo, and this is appropriate given that the author is a long-term Google employee and that the material is based on a course developed for Google's staff.
Meng, as he is called, is a long-term meditator. Quite how long I'm not sure, but he refers to meditating before he joined Google (which was in 1999). Google's workers are allowed to spend 20% of their time on personal projects, and so Meng and some of his colleagues spent that time developing a personal-development course which had meditation and mindfulness at its core.The course was jokingly called Search Inside Yourself, and the name … Read more »

I am a recent college graduate and I want to put the little money I have saved (approx $3,000) into something that will give me good returns over the years. Would you suggest I get CDs or a Roth IRA?
The two are very different.
A Roth IRA is an investment account, but once you get it, you have to put money in it and invest. You can read all about it on my article The World's Easiest Guide to Retirement Accounts.
A CD is a type of investment, which you can buy inside (or outside) of any investment account. And if you're wondering what I think about CDs/bonds…

Ron Hart: Follow your Hart in a look back at 2010
ROSEMARY BEACH — As I do at the end of each year (which usually elicits many e-mails, but I am going to do it again anyway), here is my look back at 2010.
1. England's Prince William became engaged to long-time girlfriend Kate Middleton, whose charisma reminds many of Princess Diana. The royal family hopes Kate does not upstage her future husband and become a media magnet; it is unlikely the British people will buy that "car wreck in the tunnel" story again.
2. USA publicity hounds Heidi Montag and her husband went broke after reportedly spending $10 million on plastic surgery and other frivolities. Yet they are still constantly in the press; apparently, if you cannot afford a publicist in Hollywood, the L.A. court system will appoint one for you.
3. Gatorade ended its relationship with Tiger Woods after learning that he was seeing Powerade and Vitamin Water on the side.
4. Michelle Obama continued one of the few worthwhile initiatives of this administration, her "war" on obesity. This fire was lit in her after spending one out of every four years at the Iowa State Fair. She says she wants salad bars put in 6,000 schools. These might be used by upwards of four kids, three of whom want to audition for "Glee."
5. The First Lady also took a lavish trip to Spain, renting 70 rooms in that country's most expensive hotel while America's unemployment hovers around 10 percent. She had an entourage of some 40 folks, but in fairness 30 of them were her public relations advisors.
6. The TSA handled more packages than FedEx this holiday season. Now they want to further unionize, like the SEIU (Service Employees International Union). I suggest the TSA form the Service Hierarchy International Fraternity of Transportation Legion Employees Security Service, or SHIFTLESS.
7. Nancy Pelosi surpassed Bernie Madoff as the biggest con artist in U.S. history.
8. WikiLeaks revealed that the government is misleading us about how the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are going for Obama. Signs showing a certain ex-president smiling and waving, captioned "Miss me yet?" began popping up all over. Sadly, the signs were in Iraq and the ex-president was Saddam Hussein.
9. Hillary Clinton denied rumors that she will challenge Obama in the 2012 Democratic primaries. It made the country feel nostalgic to hear a Clinton denying things again.
10. BP continued to throw guilt money at the Gulf Coast, including sponsoring blues festivals which paid tribute to Muddy Waters in Louisiana and Florida.
11. Small-town preacher Terry Jones, who wanted to burn the Koran, got entirely too much mainstream media attention. Any man that tough on non-USA-born citizens does not warrant so much publicity, but no one wants to run for Sheriff against him.
12. After O.J. went to jail, Reggie Bush had to give up his Heisman Trophy. It was then given to Auburn's Cam Newton, whose dad apparently shook down colleges for money to get his son to sign with them. Some call the Heisman winner a hero; most in law enforcement will eventually call him a "person of interest."
13. John Boehner and Obama look forward to cooperating on issues they agree on, like making more places in Washington available for smoking.
14. Larry King left his CNN chair as Piers Morgan took over, but not before he Lysol-ed it to get rid of that old man smell. Now Larry can focus on his divorces; he can still beat Liz Taylor's record if he stays healthy.
15. The Left's favorite Al Gore, Oscar and Nobel Prize winner for his PowerPoint pontifications on global warming, further burnished his reputation by forcing himself on a massage therapist he called to his hotel room. To be fair, he just wanted to show her his animated short.
16. After leaking the identity of everyone's Secret Santa, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange said that, if arrested, he would leak information on UFOs. I think I speak for all Southerners: Let me see those documents.
17. Bristol Palin lost in the finals of "Dancing with the Stars." If we have learned anything about a Palin when she loses, it is that she goes away quietly.
While I am glad there was "change" in Congress, at the end of the day I am afraid the GOP will revert to its old ways. I think neither party's members care as much about the country as they care about who gets to run it.

Quinn Smith scored a pair of goals, Parker Milner stopped 19 shots, and three-time defending champion Boston College beat Harvard 4-1 in the Beanpot tournament Monday night in Boston.
Boston College (16-7-2) will be seeking its 18th title and a school-record fourth straight championship next Monday when it faces Northeastern, a 3-2 winner over Boston University in the opening game.
It was the 13th time in the last 14 tournament matchups that the Eagles defeated the Crimson (5-15-1).
Steven Whitney and Michael Matheson also scored for the defending champion Eagles. Danny Biega netted Harvard's goal.
The Crimson, who have won just once since mid-November - an overtime victory at Boston University on Jan. 9 - haven't captured the Beanpot title since 1993.
In the tournament opener earlier Monday night, Kevin Roy scored three goals as Northeastern snapped a 15-game losing streak against Boston University in Beanpot play.
Roy netted his second goal off a turnover in the second period and then batted home an attempted clearing pass late in the game that kicked off the 61st annual tournament.
Chris Rawlings made 32 saves for the Huskies (8-13-3), who will be trying to claim their fifth Beanpot crown - the fewest by far of the four schools - and first since 1988.

Bleakonomics: A Heartwarming Introduction to Financial Catastrophe, the Jobs Crisis and Environmental Destruction by Rob Larson (Paperback) (ISBN: 9780745332673)
"I have been reading Rob Larson's columns for some time, with great profit and appreciation. His work is not only solidly grounded but also lucid and accessible, a most valuable contribution to public understanding and vitally needed action." Noam Chomsky
Bleakonomics is a short and darkly humorous guide to the three great crises plaguing today's world: environmental degradation, social conflict in the age of austerity and financial instability.
Written for anyone who is wondering how we've come to this point, Rob Larson holds mainstream economic theory up against the grim reality of a planet in meltdown. He looks at scientists' conclusions about climate change, the business world's opinions about its own power, and reveals the fingerprints of finance on American elections.
With a unique and engaging approach to each crucial subject, students, academics and activists will find a lot to appreciate in this quiet call-to-arms for a saner and more stable world.
Rob Larson teaches Economics at Tacoma Community College in Washington State, USA. He is active with Occupy Tacoma and Jobs with Justice, and writes regularly for Dollars & Sense and Z Magazine.Bleakonomics is a short and darkly humorous guide to the three great crises plaguing today's world: environmental degradation, social conflict in the age of austerity and financial instability.

From the architect. The owners of a forested property wanted a quiet space to observe the surrounding nature. A naturalized understory leads to a visually kinetic approach ramp that contrasts to the subtle interior. Entry to the hut is through an obscured door detailed like the cedar walls. Inside an oversized window opposite the entrance immediately pulls the view back outside to a composed view of mature trees. Adjacent to this is a miniature tea cabinet. A raised platform in the main space supports three tatami mats.
The location along the north pond edge allowed the development of several effluvial sensations. Throughout the day water reflections are projected onto the soffit. The roof channels rainwater to a central spout over the pond. A horizontal window in the tatami room frames a meditative fragment of water. The floor of glossy ebonized birch has the sensation of a deep still pool ‐ the grass tatami mats become an island within an island. The result is an interior volume that is protective and serene but alive with subtle energy.

Lavender Blue
25 comments:
Your lavender is a perfect Blue Monday offering. Lavender is one of my favorite fragrances. My little clump of lavender in our herb garden is in bloom. I guess I should have cut it back after the winter. I'll remember to do that next year. Your lavender is so beautiful! Actually everything in your garden is fantastic. I love to come visit The Little round Table! ~ Sarah
ReplyDeleteLavender is just plain yummy!
Here in California it can be pruned numerous times during the growing season for re-bloom, doesn't mind our heavy adobe clay soil, needs little water once established and bugs and deer don't like it at all. The perfect plant.
Ann - my pet peeve with this blog format is that you can't go back in and edit comments. Sometimes my fingers just don't connect with what my brain is transmitting and my spelling is just plain bad. Maybe someday they'll realize that our minds and fingers need a little editing gadget!
Thanks to all of you for your lovely comments!
CandyI remember Burl Ives and Lavender Blue. It was nice to hear it again. And I think your lavender is a lovely choice for Blue Monday. Today is my first time to play along with this blue party and I went with blue dishes.
Do you just sew little bags for your lavender flower heads to make the sachets? My great-grandmother always had those in her dresser drawers and the fragrance brings back wonderful memories to me.Thanks for coming by for another Blue Monday! A special "Hi!" to Blue Monday's hostess Smiling Sally too. :-)
Becky, over the years I have sewn little bags from all sorts of cloth, but a few ways that are quick and easy:
BABY sox - they work great!
A simple square of cloth tied with a pretty ribbon.
And my newest favorite is a little off white cotton bag thingy that Wisteria includes with every order to hold your invoice. Comes with a draw string and is perfect!
I find that I refurbish or add more sachet if they are simple things rather than something that is too precious on its own. Empty the baby sock or shake out the little piece of cloth, add fresh sachet and you are done!
Thanks for all your lovely comments, please stop by again to visit!
CandyThank you both for stopping by. With all our winter rain this year, the lavender is just beautiful.
More rose images for this week can be seen at this link:
This Week In My Garden: Roses and The Silly KildeerHi Candy...
My friend, I am sooo envious! I have wanted to grow lavender for some time now. I really do need to just get a few plants at the store and see how they will do in our area! I can just imagine the aroma! Your Lady Banks roses are gorgeous as well! Oooh...I bet it smelled just heavenly at your place while these pretties were blooming! Thank you so much for sharing this sweet post with us for the Sunday Favorites party today! Beautiful photos...by the way!
Have a super Sunday, my friend!

Test of Time…
New bike? Not really… this is the "M5 oerdesign in carbon; rijklaar 7,6 kilogram (1984)". That is a carbon-fiber, a roadworthy design, weighing less than 17 pounds… in 1984. Twenty-five years ago! Now that is passing the test of time.
Found this photo in the "History" section of the "Fotoalbum" section of the M5-Ligfietsen.nl site, which is a VERY interesting site to burrow about in once in a while!
If you've every wondered where their "26/26 en 26/20 Onderstuur" come from…wonder no more!

Diane von Fürstenberg (b. 1946) is a Belgian-American fashion designer. She was featured with Big Bird in an issue of Harper's Bazaar as part of Sesame Street's 40th Anniversary.
Known for her signature wrap dress, Fürstenberg's work is part of the collection at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, showcasing her influence on women's fashion.
