I bought 2 of these bags for when I go to the grocery store on my bike. It is very sturdy when I am riding my bike- I don't really notice them. It holds a good amount of groceries, and its heavy duty flat on the bottom, so I don't have to worry about groceries shifting around (hint: tetris goes a long way). I can clip it off my bike rack with no hassle as well as put it back on. It has a draw strap so that you can try to keep your goods insulated in the bag. I don't know if it is machine washable, so that would be my only question to ask.

Arthur (2011)
Original Theatrical Date: April 8, 2011

Now he faces his biggest challenge—choosing between an arranged marriage with corporate exec Susan (Jennifer Garner) that will ensure his lavish lifestyle or an uncertain future with the one thing money can't buy, Naomi (Greta Gerwig), the only woman he has ever loved.
With Naomi's inspiration and some unconventional help from Hobson, Arthur will take the most expensive risk of his life and finally learn what it means to become a man, in this re-imagining of the classic romantic comedy Arthur.

Tombstone Tuesday - Vera Miller Grant
2 comments:
Vera Darlene Miller.ReplyDelete
Aunt Vera and Aunt Juanita lived next to us in Vernon. They both were very kind to me and supported the many causes that I worked at in school. They bought books, magazines, raffle tickets, etc. They even bought candy...even though they were both diabetics.
Aunt Vera made the best chocolate cake ever. It was a 2 layer yellow cake with homemade chocolate icing. She would make one when cousin Artie would come to visit her. She also made great pancakes that were thin and golden and covered the whole plate.
I remember Aunt Vera dipping snuff, although I don't remember the brand. I remember her doing a lot of reading. I never knew her to drive a car in my lifetime, although she probably had.
Aunt Vera's house was where visiting family stayed. Aunt Zelma and Uncle Curly stayed there alot. Aunt Velma and Uncle Tex would stay there too. Thelton and Artie came over there alot.
After Aunt Vera and Aunt Juanita died, other family members lived in the old house. My cousin Stacey, her sister Kim, and one time my cousin Joey Register stayed there awhile. Thqat old house is torn down now...but I will always cherish those years that I lived next door to Aunt Vera and Aunt Juanita.
- ClaudiaJanuary 03, 2012
Awww, dear sweet Aunt Vee. My sisters and I were able to visit her and Aunt Nita more often when they lived "in the country" (Harris Cty, GA) on Uncle Buck and Aunt Vida's property. Aunt Vee LOVED to fish. I remember one time Grandma (Zelma) and Aunt Vee took Artie, me, and my sisters fishing. Momma (Patricia Ann) took video (the old 8mm silent video) of us. Aunt Vee and Grandmas turned up 2 5 gallon buckets to sit on and did some serious fishing. All the while, we kids played at it. Well...Artie was a little more serious than we girls. But to take up for the girls....the dresses Momma had us in hindered our fishing.ReplyDelete
I believe, and correct me if I am wrong, but the old house that Aunt Vee and Aunt Nita lived in Vernon, wasn't it part of the old homestead and moved up to Uncle RC and Aunt Madeline's property?

Guest post from Suavek – Ed.
Yesterday was a long day spent scrutinizing every aspect of developer experience, tools and application development. We have filled out the whiteboard and have summarized the main points:
- Platform Choice is a bit confusing (we need some more explaining here)
- Technology/Tools line of separation is unclear. Why would I choose C/C++/Qt/Cascades™? (If I'm a Qt developer, this may seem like a familiar world – yet Cascades is different. We need a better way to highlight this)
- We have found distinct documents for accomplishing the same task (and not all paths gave the same result). This duplication needs to go.
- For the Gaming/Native SDK developers, the End-To-End flow experience is broken. From start to finish there are too many issues before a game can be deployed.
- There is little guidance when the IDE is launched. What should I do next? Create a Native or Cascades application. The Wizards could use some wizardry and help to get the developer a few steps closer to the app they really want.
- We realized we need better integration of IDE, Wizards and Online Docs to focus on getting started and highlighting 'Key' samples. We'd all like to see a few key samples for gaming and apps and a clear path to get them running right from the IDE.
- Our open source developers found that the path of navigating between Open Source libraries and development environment needs to be improved. It's not made clear how a library could be integrated into the IDE.
- Our new folks were often using search engines to query for BlackBerry® specific development tasks. We have found that this also needs to be improved. Wouldn't it be cool if search results for "break points BlackBerry® 10" or "touch inputs BlackBerry 10" actually gave links to our documents?
- As much as things have improved in the signing key world, we still have found a lot of pain points there. Folks kept forgetting the multiple pin/passwords that they had and having to re-register. Security, can we not just have a single pin/password?
- The device discovery, simulator availability and generally having the IDE notified what's connected needs to improve. (When on VPN we could use a notification that a device can't connect)
And one more thing: We have found that a lot of us in the room were looking for pre-baked recipes that contain both documentation and samples. We could all benefit from a few recipes (ie. top 10 things you'll most likely need when doing cascades development). What do you think?
We have also found bugs, which we'll be tracking and following up on. A more detailed summary will follow next week. Meanwhile, we are interested to know what you think.

Last week, Republican Senators, along with a handful of their Democratic counterparts, rejected the Paycheck Fairness Act. Supporters of the bill claim that this measure would bring pay equality to women and minorities in the workforce. Whatever that means.
Despite the whining from the media and Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, there is no need for another bill demanding equal pay for women. Overall, the average man in the workforce makes more than the average woman, but when you take everything into consideration, it's actually women that make more.
Statistics show that when all factors are considered -- experience, education, time on the job, etc. -- women make more money than their male counterparts. So why are women as a whole earning about 80% of what men are making?
Many factors go into determining the wage of an employee, and thanks to the Civil Rights Act, the Equal Pay Act, and Lily Ledbetter, gender is not one of those factors. Women are more typically the primary caregivers, and many choose to take time out of the workforce to stay home with the children. It's an admirable choice, and one that definitely qualifies as work, but expertly changing diapers with one hand or making the perfect playdate snack from a recipe you found on Pinterest isn't exactly something you'll put on your resume.
Even moms that work outside the home are usually the go-to person when the kids are sick, daycare is closed, or the nanny calls in sick. On average among fulltime workers (those working 35+ hours a week), men worked 8.2 hours while women only worked 7.8. Funny thing about employers – they like to pay people more when they work more.
Women are also more likely to pursue 'fulfilling' career paths, rather than one that will land them in a high-paying job. Women dominate the interior design field, and the average pay is less than $40,000 a year. Compare that to electrical engineering, where nine out of ten people with a degree in the field are male, and the average salary jumps to almost $80,000.
It's a great time to be a woman. We have so many options available to us; no one can keep us from getting an education, casting a vote, or choosing our own career paths. It's preciously that freedom that leads to the supposed wage gap. We are free to work flexible schedules without sacrificing motherhood, or to forgo the workforce entirely to stay home with the kids.
We don't need more legislation to combat paycheck unfairness, because the only thing 'unfair' about our paychecks is how much the government withholds for taxes.

In the process of waxing the car. I live in FL so the hardtop hasn't been on the car in 2 years or more. It sits on the stand in the garage which isn't air conditioned. You probably guessed it. Took the cover off to wax the hardtop and discovered that the headliner has let loose and is drooping.
I don't recall reading about a similar problem. Has anyone else had this happen? I assume the headliner is attached to the hardtop with adhesive. Now to find a good upholstery shop in the Sarasota, FL area.

Jennifer H. necesitaba un nuevo diseño de página web y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 38 diseños de 14 diseñadores freelance.
We need a website design for a new business, My Port of Call. This is an ecommerce site whose purpose is to connect boat owners looking for space to dock their boats on a permanent or semi-permanent basis with either marinas or owners of private residences seeking to lease or sell their dock or boat slip space. The website will allow the sellers/lessors to list their space on the listing service for either a monthly fee or for a percentage of the rental or sales price. Buyers/lessees will be able to search listings by locale (city, state, region) and by select criteria (size of dock/slip, depth, etc.). In order to list a dock for sale or lease, the visitor will need to become a member of the site. Potential buyers or lessees may search for free and do not need to become members of the site.
There are two target prospects for this website that we want to attract:
Buyers/Lessees - these are boat owners (sailboats or power boats) looking for dock or slip space primarily in areas with deep water ocean access (Florida, S. Carolina, East Coast, California, the Caribbean, etc.). Many owners will live in other locations but are looking to dock their boats oceanside, so security is a primary issue for them. The audience is primarily male but may also be married couples, either affluent or upper middle class.
Sellers/lessees - this audience will either be marina businesses that sell or rent slips at their marinas to boat owners or owners of private residences that have dock space at their homes or waterfront property that they rent for a monthly fee. Some may be experiencing financial difficulties and looking for ways to assist with mortgages by leasing their docks.
This is a one page (Home page) design theme that will be incorporated into additional pages to be added later.
Design only, no coding
Must be layered PSD format with rasterized fonts (to be sent with final design)
Top navigation just below the header
Two column layout with as much above the fold space as possible
Rough Dimensions:
940 pixels wide
200 pixels from top to bottom navigation
Content area on left approximately 550 pixels and side bar on right roughly 400 pixels
View the following competitor websites to help understand the concept for site:
Not too restrictive on the colors or design, but it should probably incorporate blues, greens and white for the ocean theme and some sailing and boating graphics/photos.
Would like to have a logo design as well consistent with the website.
In the content area, need blocked space for content and blocks for "Boat Slips for Sale" and "Boat Slips for Rent" and "List a Boat Slip'' where content can be added (similar to usaboatslips.com).
Side bar should have a box for email opt in, login, and a box for social media buttons
Must be creative and fresh and not too cluttered.

As New Jersey-based Fishermen's Energy awaits a New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (BPU) decision on whether it can use renewable energy certificates to finance its pilot project, the developer is also feverishly working to meet a Feb. 15 deadline to complete a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) grant application.
Speaking on a conference call, Fishermen's CEO Chris Wissemann explains the developer must receive an affirmative response from the BPU to continue developing the offshore wind project.
'We are nearing the end of the review process,' Wissemann says, noting that Fishermen's completed oral arguments to the BPU on Dec. 20.
The BPU's approval would allow Fishermen's to use New Jersey's offshore renewable energy certificates (ORECs) as part of the Offshore Wind Energy Development Act (OWEDA) to support the financing and construction of the Fishermen's Atlantic Wind Farm, a $200 million demonstration project located three miles off the coast of Atlantic City, N.J.
According to Wissemann, the Fishermen's application has been under review by the BPU for more than 990 days. During the lengthy review process, the regulators raised questions on Fishermen's application, including its choice of turbine supplier XEMC and the impact to state ratepayers if federal tax credits and DOE grants do not materialize.
In July 2013, Fishermen's thought it had reached a deal with the New Jersey Division of Rate Counsel (DRC), which represents ratepayers in the setting of electricity rates. Although the DRC initially opposed the Fishermen's project, saying it was too costly, the two parties reached a settlement that featured a reduction in the wind farm's projected rates, thus lowering costs and lessening potential impact to ratepayers.
However, the BPU rejected the settlement agreement, fearing that New Jersey ratepayers would be unduly forced to shoulder too much risk if federal incentives were not included.
One encouraging aspect, Wissemann notes, is that the offshore wind project provides net economic benefits for New Jersey, a key requirement of New Jersey's OWEDA. According to the DRC, the wind farm will create $33 million in net benefits.
Admittedly, Fishermen's finds itself in uncharted waters, as no offshore wind developer has yet to receive financing under a state-run model based on ORECs like the one being tried in New Jersey and Maryland.
Each of the three U.S. offshore wind power purchase agreements signed to date has been executed under the traditional model, wherein a utility agrees to buy all – or a portion – of a project's output.
'No one else has financed against this particular mechanism,' Wissemann explains, noting that Maryland enacted similar OREC-based legislation in 2013.
Complicating matters is that the BPU has a new president. In January, Dianne Solomon replaced former president Robert Hanna. Therefore, Solomon may require additional time to familiarize herself with the Fishermen's case. Though she has little relevant experience, she has plenty of name recognition: She is the wife of former BPU president Lee Solomon, who was Hanna's predecessor.
A BPU decision is expected by June. An affirmative response would allow Fishermen's to begin construction and become operational in 2016, notes Wissemann.
The second – and equally important hurdle – for the developer is a selection by the DOE. In December 2012, the company was one of seven developers to receive a $4 million grant. The companies are now competing with each other to be one of three developers to receive $47 million for four years in the next round of federal grants. According to the DOE, selections will be based on siting, construction and installation for projects reaching commercial operation by 2017. Wissemann expects a decision from the DOE by June.
However, if the DOE does not select Fishermen's, it is doubtful that the project will get built.
'We are relying on the DOE,' Wissemann says, adding that if Fishermen's is not selected, 'it would make the economics that much harder.'

Despite the rush to get reactors back online and convince the public that Japan's nuclear power generation facilities are safe, an advisor says the current checks of nuclear reactors in the country are "insufficient" and possibly unsafe. Hiromitsu Ino, Professor Emeritus at the University of Tokyo told the press yesterday that the Japanese government is using the same system to check the status of nuclear reactors now that it did before the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster last spring. The testing system was blamed in part for the crisis – critics say it didn't go into enough detail on what would happen in case of a multiple-front natural disaster. This isn't the first time the Japanese authorities have been called into question while handling the post-disaster situation; in December they announced a very controversial "cold shutdown" of the Fukushima nuclear reactor even though experts worldwide spoke out against the decision.
"The whole process being undertaken is exactly the same as that used previous to the Fukushima Dai-Ichi accident, even though the accident showed all these guidelines and categories to be insufficient," Ino, a government advisor, announced to the press while speaking in Tokyo. "The tests are nothing but an optimistic desk simulation based on the assumption that everything will happen exactly as assumed," said Masashi Goto, another government advisor that used to design reactors said. Goto said that the tests don't include any margin for human error, design flaws or any combination of the two in addition to leaving out simulations that involve multiple natural disasters at once like the tsunami and earthquake that rocked the reactors last spring.
Japan's Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency (NISA) said they had no plans to change the testing criteria, despite the warnings from their advisors. "We are doing the best we can to reflect reality," Tatsuya Taguchi, a NISA official told Bloomberg News by phone. Ino and Goto also revealed that the company Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd., which makes nuclear equipment, runs the disaster simulations and then passes them on to be reviewed by the Japan Nuclear Energy Safety Organization which then gives the data to NISA. The Japan Nuclear Energy Safety Organization employs former Mitsubishi Heavy Staff, a connection that is clearly a conflict of interest for all involved in the safety testing.
"Individuals and organizations that have vested interests are reviewing themselves and under this regime a proper assessment cannot be made," Ino noted in his speech. Ino and Goto's announcement brings to light possible inherent dangers in Japan's nuclear industry at a time when the government is desperately trying to bring closed reactors back online.

For background refer to my previous post.
Now I'm going to go into some detail of the Arch Linux (hereafter referred to as Arch) installation and configuration process, or at least how it played out for me. I won't be addressing those parts where the Beginners Guide was crystal clear and everything went as expected. I will be addressing the parts where I got confused or alarmed or where things just weren't working as I would have expected.
I should start off by mentioning the rather significant detail that I decided to install Arch as a guest OS running in VirtualBox under Windows XP. When I started out this seemed like a good idea; I wouldn't have to worry about repartitioning the drive I currently had Windows XP on, I would be able to familiarize myself with Arch and how well it functions on the EEE PC before committing to it, it would be fun to try out VirtualBox, and if everything was hunky dory I hoped I could just take my VirtualBox disk image and clone it to a physical partition and be done. At that point I'd turn the tables and run Arch as my main OS while booting Windows XP as a VirtualBox guest OS on and as-needed basis.
Turns out I was naive. As I worked my way through the installation and configuration I realized that I'm failing to test how well Arch runs on the EEE PC. The stuff I would expect to be most problematic or difficult to configure doesn't really come into play when running as guest OS. Video (including "compressed" 1024x768), sound, network cards, wifi, webcam, multi-touch trackpad, power management (including "Super Hybrid Engine"); all these are either not applicable or free-riding on the Windows drivers. I still have no idea how well all these things would work without Windows XP behind the scenes. In addition my Arch installation is configured for the mock hardware interfaces that VirtualBox exposes to it; for all I know it probably won't run at all outside of VirtualBox!
Even had I realized the above I suspect I would still have chosen to install in VirtualBox first to try things out. Or perhaps I would have opted to try out another distro with a Live CD (or, more specifically, live thumb drive). Anyway, back to the Arch installation process…
It turned out the mistake that I was referring to in my previous post wasn't as fatal as I feared. I was in the Configure the System section of the Beginners Guide and believe I had made my way through initramfs and was about to select /etc/rc.conf in the menu when I inadvertently hit the ESC key. This exited the menu and a bunch of processing commenced, entirely prematurely. I had just skipped the steps where the guide said (with emphasis as it appears in the guide):
Closely following and understanding these steps is of key importance to ensure a properly configured system.
and, a few paragraphs further down:
Note: It is very important at this point to edit, or at the very least, to verify by opening, every configuration file. The installer script relies on your input to create these files on your installation. A common error is to skip over these critical steps of configuration.
I was fully expecting to have to wipe everything out and restart the installation procedure from scratch. However, once the configuration was done I was returned to the main menu and, lo and behold, I could back up one step and chose to reconfigure. This I did, following the guide closely, and as far as I can tell all is well. Sometimes you get lucky.
General installation process
I decided to install off the most recent core ISO (archlinux–2008.06-core-i686.iso). The relative merits of core vs FTP were unclear at the time but I believe if you use the FTP ISO you'll end up with an up to date system from the start, while I ended up with eight month old packages.
I'm not particularly fond of the fuzzy compressed mode or scrolling the screen so I chose
vga=771 to get 800x600 resolution instead of
vga=773 and 1024x768. I imagine that without VirtualBox the scrolling and compressed mode wouldn't have been available at all in which case
vga=773 would be a very poor choice.
The first point of confusion arose when partitioning the hard drive. In the cfdisk interface a partition could be flagged as "bootable," which sounds like it would be a desirable property for the partition with /boot filesystem. However, there is no mention of the flag in the Beginners Guide and in the example no flags are set on the partitions. I stayed true to the guide and didn't set the flag and everything has worked fine. So while there isn't an error per se in the guide it would be nice if it explicitly mentioned that the flag doesn't need to be set. It certainly would have saved me some angst.
For the record I didn't want to deal with deciding what is an appropriate size for all the file systems so I just went with one for / and a separate swap partition. It's probably ridiculously easy to resize partitions after the fact but I wasn't in a mood to investigate at the time.
At first I disabled crond in /etc/rc.conf but later realized I was missing out on good stuff like updatedb (necessary for locate to work) so I re-enabled it.
Setting up sound with alsa had me scratching my head for a while until I realized I had to enable sound for the guest in the VirtualBox settings.
I skipped part IV of the guide since I had already decided to use xmonad as my window manager. This was readily accomplished by
pacman -S xmonad and I continued with other packages: vim, texlive, firefox…
The first "discrepancy" I noticed occurred when pacman was "updating kernel-headers" after installing cairo. It reported the rather disconcerting message:
error: scriptlet failed to execute correctly
I don't mean to imply that the message itself is terribly scary, scriptlet even has a cutesy ring to it, but I'd imagine its not good to have stuff going wrong when messing with your kernel. Anyway, I have no idea what that means or what the scriptlet that failed was supposed to do. The error didn't show up in /var/log/pacman.log so I presumed it must have come from a build script external to pacman or something along those lines. The next time I saw a scriptlet fail was when updating shadow:
Fixing gshadow file...
add group 'uucp' in /etc/gshadow ?grpck: the files have been updated
error: scriptlet failed to execute correctly
Again not sure what that meant, nor what to do about it. Hoping it was nothing.
VirtualBox Guest Additions: Take One
At some point I realized that to get decent video drivers supporting the native 1024x600 resolution of the EEE PC I had to install the VirtualBox Guest Additions. I had the option of installing from the ISO that came with VirtualBox, but there were no instructions specifically for Arch. I saw mention in some forum of a virtualbox-ose-additions community package. Doing a
pacman -Si virtualbox-ose-additions revealed that it was version 2.0.4–1 while my installation of VirtualBox is 2.1.2. The build date was 2008–11–12 so I decided to try my luck hoping not much would have changed between the two versions, especially given that the ISO is an auxiliary part of VirtualBox. Well, I was stopped short by pacman:
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: virtualbox-ose-additions-modules: requires kernel26<2.6.28>
I checked my kernel26 and it was version 22.214.171.124–1 which certainly seemed to comply with the stated requirement. However, a
pacman -Si virtualbox-ose-additions-modules revealed the following requirement:
Depends on : kernel26>=2.6.27 kernel26<2.6.28>
OK, my kernel26 didn't fulfill the requirements, although the requirement reported wasn't the one that was violated.
By now I was thinking maybe I should upgrade my kernel26. In fact, I was mildly surprised that pacman didn't go ahead and do that for me. I checked with pacman and saw that the latest version of kernel26 is 220.127.116.11–1. It dawned upon me that the reason pacman reported the requirement
kernel26<2.6.28 was because that was the one that would have been violated had the kernel26 been upgraded to the latest version. Makes sense I guess but would have been nice if the error message was more explicit about it.
I decided to hit the AUR site to see if it could shed any additional light on these packages and indeed, there I saw that virtualbox-ose-additions had been flagged as out of date! I can't help but wish that a pacman would reveal this rather important piece of information;
pacman -Si loses a lot of its appeal if I have to double-check each package on the web before installing. (One could argue that pacman implicitly "knows" this particular package is out of date by virtue of its dependencies being unsatisfiable, but I believe this is a special case; other packages may have been flagged e.g. for security reasons even though there dependencies are satisfiable.)
Recommendation: Always check package status in AUR before installing, especially before deciding to "try your luck."
(I later realized that I was using the PUEL VirtualBox and not VirtualBox OSE so the packages in question may never have been applicable in the first place.)
Upgrading all packages
Given that the VirtualBox Guest Additions seem to be particular about the kernel version I decided that it would be a good idea to update the kernel and all my other packages before proceeding. A
pacman -Su identified 76 packages needing upgrades and started downloading (these are presumable the packages that were installed from the eight months old core ISO). Upon completion of the downloads pacman complained:
error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
and listed a mass of files in /usr/lib/klibc/include/asm. A quick google revealed an announcement and fix for this:
rm /usr/lib/klibc/include/asm. Having removed the symlink all 76 packages upgraded just fine.
VirtualBox Guest Additions: Take Two
Back to the VirtualBox Guest Additions; it seemed my only option now was to install them from the ISO. I could either use the ISO provided with my Windows version of VirtualBox or I could install the virtualbox-additions package which to my understanding would just download the same ISO for me; I'd still have to mount it and install the actual software myself. I decided to go with the ISO that came with my VirtualBox.
I mounted the ISO in the VirtualBox Media Manager but when attempting to
mount /media/cdrom in Arch I was told that the cdrom was missing from /etc/fstab. This was perfectly true; the EEE PC has no optical drive so during Arch configuration I had left the cdrom commented out. At the time I hadn't fully internalized the distinction between installing straight to the EEE PC vs installing on VirtualBox, and it hadn't occurred to me that VirtualBox provided emulated optical drives. I uncommented the cdrom in /etc/fstab and it mounted without further drama.
The installation instructions for the VirtualBox Guest Additions were conflicting and confusing between the wiki, forums, and VirtualBox manual. The VirtualBox manual recommended installing dkms first, but the dkms package in AUR was flagged as out of date. I tried my luck with the instructions on the ArchWiki's VirtualBox page instead; verify gcc and make are installed and
sh /media/cdrom/VBoxLinuxAdditions-x86.run. The wiki warned of "errors about init scripts and run levels and what not" but to my great surprise everything built and installed with nary a complaint.
I rebooted, and then shutdown. After the shutdown Arch wouldn't start; it would switch resolution to 800x600 but get stuck there with a black screen. I rebooted in fallback mode, removed
vga=771 from /boot/grub/menu.lst and retried. Now that the boot process stayed in 640x480 I could see what was going wrong, although I little idea what it meant:
Code: Bad EIP value.
EIP: [<00000000>] 0x0 SS:ESP 0068:c042fdf4
Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception in interrupt
I guess someone doesn't like zeroes. Restarted in fallback mode: same error this time! Normal mode: same error. Rebooted the EEE PC completely (this had helped previously with another VirtualBox problem): same error in both modes. I noted that there seemed to be some variation in when in the boot process the kernel panic occurred, although it was always very early. I had recently unplugged the EEE PC at which time it switched to its "Auto Power-Saving" mode with lower (and probably variable) clock speed. I speculated that maybe this mode was causing some random timing error ("not synching," remember?) in the early bootup process. I changed to the "Super Performance" mode, rebooted Arch, and lo and behold, it worked! Once the boot was complete I switched back to the Auto Power-Saving mode.
I've had these kernel panics several times since. Also in Super Performance mode and with AC connected. They're more frequent when power is disconnected and CPU throttled and I've rarely had two in a row with AC connected. I don't think I had any of these before installing the VirtualBox Guest Additions.
Recommendation: Do not change the resolution of your fallback installation.
Recommendation: If you get kernel panics during bootup disable CPU throttling and if possible connect AC.
VirtualBox Guest Additions: Configuration
I added rc.vboxadd to /etc/rc.conf. During bootup the message
Starting VirtualBox host to guest time synchronization
is printed to the console which I presume means that rc.vboxadd-timesync is started by rc.vboxadd without having to be added individually to the daemons in /etc/rc.conf.
When shutting down Arch I noticed the error message:
/etc/rc.d/functions: line 167: /etc/rc.d/vboxadd-timesync: No such file or directory
The correct file name should be /etc/rc.d/rc.vboxadd-timesync. I tried to figure out what was the problem but wasn't familiar enough with rc.d to be able to figure it out. In fact, I couldn't even locate where the stop_daemon function where the error occured was called from.
Update 2009–02–20: Alan Savage figured this one out and submitted a patch for it.
Also, running
/etc/rc.d/rc.vboxadd-timesync start (or
stop) from the command line resulted in:
/etc/rc.d/rc.vboxadd-timesync: line 226: begin: command not found
begin() function was indeed missing from the code block that defined functions for Arch so I copied the one from the Gentoo block and inserted it at line 169.
Update 2009–02–14: A better place to copy
begin() from is the Arch-specific definition in rc.vboxadd. I've submitted a patch for this to the vbox-dev mailing list.
Configuring Xorg
Here are the contents of the xorg.conf file that VirtualBox Guest Additions installed:
# Default xorg.conf for Xorg 1.5+ without PCI_TXT_IDS_PATH enabled.
# This file was created by VirtualBox Additions installer as it
# was unable to find any existing configuration file for X.
Section "Device"
Identifier "VirtualBox Video Card"
Driver "vboxvideo"
My impression was that Xorg was supposed to use hal to discover the video modes that the "VirtualBox Video Card" supported, and that the X screen resolution would seamlessly follow the VirtualBox window size. This didn't work for me and I was stuck with 640x480 with no other modes available according to xrandr. I had to add the following to /etc/xorg.conf to get additional resolutions:
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Device "VirtualBox Video Card"
SubSection "Display"
Modes "1024x600" "800x600" "640x480" "1024x768"
(As an aside I also tried generating an xorg.conf using hwd but when it didn't use the vboxvideo driver (opting instead for vesa) I didn't pursue that avenue further.)
The only other problem I've had with Xorg is that switching modes with
Ctrl+Alt+Keyopad-Plus/Minus was unreliable at best at rendered the session unusable at worst. I disabled these keys with the
DontZoom option as described in the xorg.conf manpage:
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "DontZoom" "true" # Disable mode-switching keys.
Instead I use xrandr to switch modes, e.g:
xrandr --output VBOX1 --mode 1024x768
I have set up aliases for this, e.g.:
alias 1024x768='xrandr --output VBOX1 --mode 1024x768'
It's a wrap!
That pretty much sums it up. Most everything seems to be in working order now and it's trivial to install additional software with pacman as needed. The one thing I know I'll want to figure out sooner or later is how to how to "hotswap" keyboard layouts but I'm in no hurry.

Wayland food service provider collecting cans for FISH, world record
PLAINVIEW – Sodexho, the food service provider for Wayland Baptist University, is soliciting the help of students, staff and other community visitors to help them reach a two-fold goal.
The company is attempting to break a Guinness World Record for the most canned food donations in a single event nationwide, with Sodexho branches on campuses across the U.S. participating. In Plainview, the collected cans will be donated to Faith in Sharing House, a local nonprofit pantry that provides food for the needy.
The official date for the collection, called Cans Across America, is Oct. 18, but according to Charles Carlile, general manager for Sodexho at Wayland, supporters may begin bringing canned foods to the cafeteria at any time before that date.
"We have set up boxes at the cafeteria for folks to bring by donations, and we'll have boxes in each of the dorms as well," Carlile said. "The dorm that collects the most pounds of food will get a pizza party."
Carlile said he hopes community visitors who patronize the cafeteria, especially during the Sunday brunch time, will participate in the collection effort as well. On the 18th, all food collected will be weighed and logged in – a can at a time – and photographs of the entire event must be taken as proof toward the world record.
The dining hall at Wayland is located in the McClung University Center, 7th and Smythe, on the campus.

Barclay Leathem and the National Theatre Conference
Barclay S. Leathem began teaching in the English Department at Western Reserve University (WRU) in 1921 while a law student. (He received his law degree in 1924.) He moved to the Speech Department in 1927 to teach the first theatre classes at WRU.
Barclay Leathem in the classroom, Western Reserve University, ca.1940
In 1931 Leathem became head of the Dramatic Arts Department in the Graduate School when the graduate program in Drama and Theatre was established. Leathem, Frederic McConnell, and Arthur White (WRU faculty member) had proposed this new graduate program -- a joint program between WRU and the Cleveland Play House.
With McConnell, Leathem was involved in the work of the National Theatre Conference (NTC). The NTC office was housed on the WRU campus beginning in 1937. Leathem served as Executive Secretary 1938-1959. In 1940 he traveled across the country visiting colleges and community theaters. An account of Leathem's trip is covered in the October 1940 issue of the NTC Quarterly Bulletin.
"Travel Notes" October 1940 issue of the NTC Quarterly Bulletin
Leathem also served as chairman of the investigation of royalties and play releases. The hope was to make better plays available for amateurs and to educate public school teachers to their use. He also oversaw several projects for the NTC, including the playwriting competition for GIs, the Tryout Studio where new graduates of university and theatre programs would perform before agents and others, the Bulletin quarterly publication, and the play lists for shows performed in army camps during World War II.
Special thanks to Helen Conger, Archivist, Scholarly Resources & Special Collections, Kelvin Smith Library, for creating the content for this post.

Wilton's environmental darling Startech on the block
More than two years after filing for bankruptcy protection, the former Wilton-based Startech Environmental will auction off its remaining assets.
On Jan. 29, Capital Recover Group, of Enfield, will hold a federal bankruptcy-approved auction of Startech's equipment. The company, which had been trying to create a business out of a plasma converter system since 1993, listed more than $11 million in assets in its Chapter 11 filing. That includes intellectual property, which it valued at $2 million.
Current leadership of Startech was not immediately available Monday.
CRG will sell Startech's intellectual property, including patents, office furniture, tooling equipment, demonstration systems, which includes a plasma torch, beginning at 10 a.m, with inspections of the equipment beginning at 8 a.m. The court must approve the final sale prices of all items.
Startech and its executives often talked about the promising plasma technology they had developed, which they claimed used high temperatures to destroy contaminants in a variety of materials, leaving behind recyclable waste and gases for industrial or power uses.
It did, apparently, run up a pretty big power bill of its own. In August of 2012, Startech was ordered by State Superior Court Judge William Shaughnessy to pay $33,276.54 to Connecticut Light & Power Co.
The company won a lot of coverage from local and national environmental media over the years, but it was unable to turn a profit, and various filings showed much of its revenue over the years was made by selling exclusive distribution agreements with companies for about $250,000 a piece.
At its height, the company employed about 20 people and had a Wilton headquarters and a Bristol showroom and manufacturing center. It was publicly traded over the counter until the bankruptcy filing.
In 2010, executives of the firm started to leave, including company founder Joseph Longo, who stepped down in December of that year, after an illness. Longo died on April 23, 2011.

Luke Bryan on Stage Collapse: 'It Could Have Been a Life or Death Situation'
A stage accident following Luke Bryan's Thursday night (Jan. 16) concert in Columbus, Ohio has left four crew members injured and the 'Drink a Beer' singer a bit shaken up.
Bryan sounded upset as he recounted the details of the collapse for radio station 98.1 the Bull, explaining, "It was minor injuries that really, really could have been catastrophic."
"We had one guy that if he had not gotten out of the way, it could have been a life or death situation. It was scary," the singer admits, adding, "But everybody's okay. No fans were in the building when any of this happened."
According to reports, a forklift struck the rear of the stage while crews were tearing it down, which resulted in the collapse. Bryan says some equipment was damaged, and many of his crew members are still in Columbus. Unfortunately, the incident has also resulted in the postponement of Friday night's (Jan. 17) show with openers Lee Brice and Cole Swindell.
"We're just so bummed for the people in Lexington," Bryan states. "We want to make it go well and make everything run smooth. Lee and Cole can still be on the show. We will come back in and make it even more exciting, even more fun."
While it's an unfortunate letdown for Lexington fans and those who may have traveled to the concert, the country star promises to make it up to fans. In fact, now that the show has been rescheduled for Feb. 21, Bryan has over a month to practice … not his singing, but his hip shaking moves.
"I can hone in the dance moves a little better," he jokes.
Just this week, Bryan announced the second leg of his 2014 That's My Kind of Night Tour, which will kick off in May and roll into a handful of stadiums.

If your child has been diagnosed with an allergy to soy it means that your child's immune system overreacts to soy proteins. The allergy may go away when your child is older. But, as long as your child has the allergy, you will have to avoid giving your child the foods or products containing soy (allergen). Soy is a common ingredient in infant formulas and processed foods. The list below describes foods that your child can have and foods to avoid. The list may not include all foods that contain soy proteins.
Not allowed
Breads & starches
Breads, baked goods, cereals not containing soy ingredients
Potato chips or popcorn cooked in soy oil (Note: Most soy oil does not contain soy protein, which causes soy allergy, because the soy protein is removed during processing. Thus, soy oil generally does not cause allergy symptoms. However, those with soy allergies should check with their doctor about consuming products containing soy oil or processed with soy oil.)
Plain macaroni, rice, barley, rye, wheat, oats, or grits
Breads, crackers, cakes, rolls, or pastries containing peanuts, peanut oil, soy flour
Processed and "natural" cereals that contain soy ingredients
Soy pasta
Fresh, frozen, or canned vegetables (except those listed as not allowed) without sauces or breading containing soy ingredients
Soy beans, soybean sprouts
Any vegetables prepared with sauces or breading containing soy products
All fresh, frozen, or canned fruits and juices processed without soy products
Fruit drink mixed or sauces and toppings for fruit that contain soy ingredients
Soft drinks
Tea, coffee
Fruit juice
Soy-based formulas, coffee substitutes with soy, instant coffee, hot cocoa mixes, malt beverages, fruit drink mixes made with soy ingredients
Meat & meat substitutes
Any fresh or frozen beef, chicken, lamb, pork, turkey, veal, or fish served without prepackaged sauces, breading, or gravy
Pork link sausage, deli/luncheon meats made with soy
Commercially prepared meats where soy is used as a meat extender
Meat or cheese substitutes that contain soy: tofu/bean curd, natto, miso
Textured vegetable protein (TVP)
Milk & milk products
Milk, cheese, cottage cheese, or yogurt without soy products
Milk drinks or milk substitutes that contain soy
Soups & combination foods
Homemade soups and commercial soups that do not contain soybeans
Soy is used in many canned soups, commercial entrees, and combination foods
Desserts &sweets
Ice cream, gelatin, cookies made without soy ingredients
Baked goods, such as cakes or cookies that contain soy flour
Soy products may be used in some commercial ice creams and other frozen desserts
Hard candies, nut candies, fudge, and caramels made with soy flour
Fats & oils
Butter, margarines, shortening
Margarine and butter substitutes
Some salad dressings, mayonnaise, sauces, or gravies containing soy products
Roasted soybeans or "soy nuts"
Condiments & miscellaneous
Sugar, honey, molasses, catsup, mustard, jelly, jam, plain sugar candies, syrup, pickles
Commercial vegetarian products and meat substitutes
Some Worcestershire and other sauces, fermented soybean pastes (miso and natto)
Soy sauce, tamari sauce, granola, or breakfast bars made with soy
Imitation bacon bits made with soy
Be sure to avoid giving your child foods that contain any of the following ingredients:
Hydrolyzed soy protein
Shoyo sauce, Shoyu
Soy albumin
Soy cheese
Soy fiber
Soy flour
Soy grits
Soy ice cream
Soy nuts
Soy milk
Soy sprouts
Soy protein concentrate
Soy protein isolate
Soy sauce
Soy yogurt
Soybean (curd, granules)
Asian cuisine
Vitamin E, which contains soybean oil
Hydrolyzed plant protein
Hydrolyzed vegetable protein
Natural flavorings
Vegetable broth
Vegetable gum
Vegetable starch
Contact the manufacturer to identify the natural flavorings in foods. Ask if the company uses soy as a carrier protein for the natural flavoring.
Contact the company to identify vegetable broths, gums, and starches, because they have the potential to be soy.
Please note: The risk for an allergic reaction to soy lecithin and soy oils is low, but a reaction can occur. Studies show that most people who have an allergy to soy may eat products that contain soy lecithin and soy oils. This is because these substances are fat-based, and people with allergies react to the protein portion of the food.

Enhanced Edition is on the level of Dark Souls and Demon's Souls in terms of its difficulty, much like the original. However, I never seemed to notice when I was playing on my PC. The control scheme for the console version isn't bad, but it is easier to find yourself messing up when using a controller, as opposed to the precision of a keyboard and mouse. This will make you feel as if you are fumbling into death on more than one occasion, but it's a frustration that soon passes.
However, the real reason to get Enhanced Edition is all the additional content. In a way, Enhanced Edition is like a Game of the Year edition and a mini-sequel at the same time. It includes all previously launched DLC for the Witcher 2, and that's quite an impressive catalogue. It also includes an arena combat mode, which does away with much of the story and simply asks you to survive wave after wave of enemies. In terms of brand new content, the Witcher 2 includes a brand new CGI intro, and many between-chapter cinematics that flesh out the story. There is also a ton of new end-game content that fits in with the existing game quite nicely, and the ending drops hints about what we might be able to look forward to in The Witcher 3, should it ever come to pass.
Should you buy the Enhanced Edition if you have already purchased The Witcher 2? That's a tough question. The additional content is appealing. If you haven't played the Witcher 2 yet, then Enhanced Edition is a definite must-buy. The Witcher 2 was one of the best western RPGs on the PC last year, and the Enhanced Edition just gives you more content while opening up the game to the console masses. However, you simply can't deny that it pales in comparison to the PC version in many ways. If you are a dedicated PC gamer, get The Witcher 2 on PC, which includes all of the Enhanced Edition content in a free patch anyway. Otherwise, pick up the Enhanced Edition on your 360.

Mayor's Office
A new option has been added to the City's online budget discussion at lincoln.ne.gov. Over the last month, more than 2,000 people have taken the online budget survey, which asks them to make funding decisions on nine current city programs. The new feature allows participants to make other suggestions on what could be cut from the budget.
"We originally limited the list to nine programs to keep it simple enough that we can show participants the impact their decisions would have on property taxes," Mayor Beutler said. "The survey does include opportunities for discussion on the nine programs. But we've heard from many people that they wanted more choices. The new feature also allows participants to vote on the original nine programs as well as the new suggestions that are coming in. Again, the goal of this entire effort is to encourage public participation and to build consensus on how we move forward."
The new suggestion feature, the discussion area and the survey are all available through the end of June at lincoln.ne.gov by clicking on Taking Charge Program Prioritization.
Those who take the survey have the opportunity to sign up for the Community Conversation from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Saturday, June 18 at the County-City Building, 555 S. 10th. Those who can't attend in person can watch the session on 5 CITY-TV (government access cable channel 5) and participate in an online discussion through the City website.
The City has worked with the University of Nebraska Public Policy Center on the Taking Charge public budget process. More information on the Center is available at ppc.unl.edu.
