Mobilk - The Annual General Meeting of Qatar Telecom (Qtel) Q.S.C. today approved the recommendation of the Board of Directors to distribute a cash dividend of 30 percent of the nominal share value (QAR 3 per share) and a bonus share of 30 percent of the issued share capital.
In addition, the General Assembly also approved the increase of authorised share capital to QAR 5 billion and a 40 percent rights issue (two shares for every five shares held, after the distribution of bonus shares), at a price of QAR 75 per share.
Addressing the meeting, His Excellency Sheikh Abdullah Bin Mohammed Bin Saud Al-Thani, Chairman, Qtel, spoke of the achievements realised by the company in 2011, and outlined the exciting opportunities presented by the Qtel Group's refreshed strategy.
His Excellency Sheikh Abdullah said: "The Qtel Group has continued to see the benefits of a diversified financial base, both in terms of markets – with 82 percent of revenue coming from outside Qatar in 2011 – and business segments. We intend to use the fruits of our dynamic growth to improve the customer experience; to strengthen the foundations of our business and to invest in new growth across our operations."
Driven by customer growth and market share gains across its diverse portfolio, Group revenue increased by 16.0 percent, ending the year at QAR 31.8 billion (FY 2010: QAR 27.4 billion).
The Group's consolidated customer base stood at 83.4 million at the end of the year, representing a 12.4 percent year-on-year increase. Group EBITDA in 2011 also advanced, increasing by 18.7 percent to QAR 14.8 billion (FY 2010: QAR 12.5 billion). The Group also maintained a strong 47 percent EBITDA margin (FY 2010: 46 percent).
Net profit attributable to Qtel's shareholders (after normalisation for a one-off favourable decision on the royalty regime in Qatar in 2010 of QAR 554 million) increased year-on-year by 11.6 percent. FY 2011 net profit attributable to Qtel shareholders stood at QAR 2.6 billion (FY 2010: QAR 2.3 billion, normalized).
Highlights of the year include strong performance from the Wataniya portfolio in Kuwait, Tunisia and Algeria, in addition to the first positive EBITDA results in Palestine. Market positions were maintained in key operations of Qatar, Indonesia and Iraq with financial results showing positive growth. The acquisition of an additional stake in Tunisiana, taking the Qtel Group's effective stake to 39.4 percent, was another key step, as was the launch of the new Qtel Group strategy, with the accent on customer experience, broadband development and productivity.
In addition, the launch of Qtel Fibre in Qatar and of the development of an LTE programme have both contributed to Qtel's positioning at the cutting-edge of the latest technology.
"Throughout this process of investment and growth, we will stay focused on the needs of our stakeholders, and in particular our customers and the communities we work in. We are taking a fresh look at the way we serve our customers, and aiming to improve it at every step. In addition, we will invest in new technologies and build new partnerships to bring the best possible services to the people of Qatar," said His Excellency Sheikh Abdullah.
The Qtel "Ooredoo" Group is a leading international communications company, with a significant presence in the MENA region and Southeast Asia, and having a consolidated customer base of 83 million as of December 2011. It operates a portfolio of brands including Qtel,... more

Book review: Leaderships Greatest Secret
Author: John P. Strelecky
Price: $24.95
FEW AMBITIOUS leaders would be without, it seems, a copy of Sun Tzus The Art of War and Niccolo Machiavellis The Prince, as if the machinations of political leaders in feudal times carries vital lessons for the efficient management of IBM or General Electric (for example). And the management books that sell by the thousand, likewise, are ultimately all about that elusive concept of leadership.
For those that lack the innate ability, leadership is easy to see in others, but a hard skill to attain and exercise consistently. It is a key to success in any discipline that involves managing others, which is why the secrets of good leadership are so eagerly sought by the ambitious: Amazon.co.uk lists more than 20,000 titles on leadership, of which Streleckys is just the latest one.
This book is a long way from the standard management manual. It distills everything he learnt from his mentor, Thomas Derale, before he died at the age of 55. His businesses made fortunes, his employees loved him and, when necessary, his customers would wait weeks just to do business with his companies, writes Strelecky. Is that leadership or a simply a magnetic personality?
He certainly was not such a great self-publicist Google could only offer four entries on the man but a little searching revealed why: Thomas Derale is a fictional character. So, in other words, the book does not distill the art of leadership from a real person
Strelecky approaches the subject in a storybook fashion, which ought to be a welcome departure from the standard instructional. The average human in the
Imagine, therefore, if a museum were made of your everyday life if most of your working life were spent bored and unfulfilled, thats exactly what much of the museum of your life would be like. And with only 28,200 days to live it, that leaves little time for loafing or small talk.
So begins the opening story after Strelecky meets Derale on a railway platform.
Throughout the book, the characters are like shills. Strelecky explains his initial meeting with Derale, as well as Derales philosophy, to Sonia, his captive companion on a flight home after hearing that Derale is terminally ill and Sonia is hooked.
I was in
The core of the philosophy is that Derale and the people he hired at his company should only spend their time getting paid to do things that fulfilled them, and that both he and the staff were therefore on a common journey together. Happy staff (or co-travellers) are more productive and therefore the company is more profitable, and Strelecky even provides some equations to prove it, but based on some pretty big assumptions.
The centrepiece of the book is the big five for life the main things you want to achieve within your alloted 28,200 days. But having goals and building a plan to achieve them is central to management itself, it is not exactly a closely guarded secret.
And while it might make for a productive personal philosophy, theres little in the book about actual leadership most of it boils down to simply being nice to people and theres many accomplished leaders that would disagree with that.
The trouble with this book, quite simply, is that John Strelecky is not a leader himself, but an author of personal enhancement books more of a life coach than a leader and that is reflected in the simplistic stories he tells.
So why should anyone spend the time reading what he has to say? It is not as if it is researched with help from well-known, successful leaders or even endorsed by one unless you are familiar with Dr Matthew Norton of the
Fans of Strelecky will no doubt be satisfied, but those seeking elusive insights into leadership and how to improve their own leadership techniques will be disappointed.

Published July 1, 2002.
Ribs barbecued at home can be flavorless and dry. We wanted lots of smoky flavor and moist meat.
Baby back ribs are expensive and can take several hours to prepare, and all too often the results are not worth the cost and effort. Dry, flavorless ribs are a true culinary disaster. More often than not, baby back ribs cooked at home come out tasting like dry shoe leather on a bone.
We wanted ribs that were juicy, tender, and fully seasoned, with an intense smokiness, ribs that would be well worth the time, money, and effort.
For ribs that are so good and moist they don't even need barbecue sauce, first brine in a salt, sugar, and water solution, then rub with a spice and sugar mix before barbecuing. For even more flavor, pile wood chunks on top of the coals before barbecuing. Use the "low and slow" cooking method: barbecue the ribs for 2 hours on the cool side of the grill, then add fresh briquettes to the coals and continue to cook for 1 1/2 to 2 hours longer.

This Web site is part of a multinational effort in Michigan, Connecticut, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Ontario and Quebec to bring you the latest information about emerald ash borer.
Insecticide Options for Protecting Ash Trees
Many homeowners, arborists and tree care professionals want to protect valuable ash trees from EAB. Scientists have learned much about this insect and methods to protect ash trees since 2002. This bulletin is designed to answer frequently asked questions and provide the most current information on insecticide options for controlling EAB.
Learn more »
Coalition for Urban Ash Tree Conservation EAB Management Statement
English | French
Additional Letters of Support
This document is an endorsement for ash tree conservation as part of integrated approach to managing emerald ash borer in urban areas, and is supported by university scientists with expertise in EAB management, commercial arborists, municipal foresters, public works officials, and non-governmental organizations (NGOs).
Emerald Ash Borer
Emerald ash borer (EAB), Agrilus planipennis Fairmaire, is an exotic beetle that was discovered in southeastern Michigan near Detroit in the summer of 2002. The adult beetles nibble on ash foliage but cause little damage. The larvae (the immature stage) feed on the inner bark of ash trees, disrupting the tree's ability to transport water and nutrients. Emerald ash borer probably arrived in the United States on solid wood packing material carried in cargo ships or airplanes originating in its native Asia. Emerald ash borer is also established in Windsor, Ontario, was found in Ohio in 2003, northern Indiana in 2004, northern Illinois and Maryland in 2006, western Pennsylvania and West Virginia in 2007, Wisconsin, Missouri and Virginia in the summer of 2008, Minnesota, New York, Kentucky in the spring of 2009, Iowa in the spring of 2010, Tennessee in the summer of 2010, Connecticut, Kansas, and Massachusetts in the summer of 2012, and New Hampshire in the spring of 2013. Since its discovery, EAB has:
- Killed tens of millions of ash trees in southeastern Michigan alone, with tens of millions more lost in Connecticut, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Maryland, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New York, Ohio, Ontario, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Quebec, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wisconsin.
- Caused regulatory agencies and the USDA to enforce quarantines (Michigan, Connecticut, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Missouri, Ohio, New Hampshire, New York, Ontario, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Environment Canada) and fines to prevent potentially infested ash trees, logs or hardwood firewood from moving out of areas where EAB occurs.
- Cost municipalities, property owners, nursery operators and forest products industries tens of millions of dollars.
This is Black Locust (Robinia pseudoacacia L.), a tree that has been planted outside its native range in the United States as erosion control or wildlife cover. It also makes good landscaping ties, mine timbers and fence.
When Black Locust blooms, emerald ash borer also emerges. Not that EAB particularly waits for Black Locust to bloom, but these two species are reacting to a certain number of Growing Degree Days (GDDs), which is defined as a day on which the mean daily temperature is one degree above the minimum temperature required for the growth of a particular plant or crop.
Black Locust blooms around 400-500 GDD base 50 degrees F. Most people will see Black Locust blooming, but it is rare to see EAB emerging. Thus, Black Locust has become a noticeable indicator for EAB emergence in any part of the country with EAB infestations.
Black Locust Blooms, EAB Looms!
New Strategy Being Developed to Deal With Emerald Ash Borer
- Research is being conducted at universities, as well, to understand the beetle's life cycle and find ways to detect new infestations, control EAB adults and larvae, and contain the infestation.
- Quarantines are in place to prevent infested ash firewood, logs or nursery trees from being transported and starting new infestations.
This Web site provides information from Michigan State University, Purdue University, the Ohio State University, the Michigan and Ohio departments of Agriculture; the Michigan, Indiana and Ohio departments of Natural Resources; the USDA Forest Service; the USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS); and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency. Our goal is to help you find answers to your questions about EAB. We also provide links to other EAB-related Web sites. Please check this site often because information changes frequently.
What to know about EAB:
- It attacks only ash trees (Fraxinus spp.).
- Adult Beetles are metallic green and about 1/2-inch long.
- Adults leave a D-shaped exit hole in the bark when they emerge in spring.
- Woodpeckers like EAB larvae; heavy woodpecker damage on ash trees may be a sign of infestation.
- Firewood cannot be moved in many areas of Michigan, Connecticut, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New York, Ohio, Ontario, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wisconsin because of the EAB quarantine.
- It probably came from Asia in wood packing material.

Scientists are studying methods of controlling EAB. The latest information on insecticide evaluations can help homeowners, arborists and landscapers decide if and how they can treat trees for EAB.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Since the emerald ash borer's discovery in 2002, research has been ongoing to develop tools to control and eliminate this pest. Currently, there are a number of treatments available for use by homeowners or tree care professionals that can provide a varying degree of beetle control. A review of all options is recommended, as well as knowing the regulations regarding EAB quarantines and eradication strategies for your area. Contact your state department of agriculture for more EAB regulatory information. As more methods of EAB control are developed, more information will be available.

Bringing back a motor vehicle's heating and air conditioning system to its top condition may be done in lots of ways, the simplest of which is thru replacing the non-functional component with new original equipment replacement. Evading vehicle repairs and ignoring signs of wear to the stage where they begin affecting the strength of the adjacent parts or the entire motor vehicle itself only upsets the repair operation. For smoother drives and trouble-free car repairs, change parts immediately after they present evidence of failure.

Helen White believes in young people.
"Because young people, and what they have to say, needs to be taken seriously," she says.
For the last 18 years, White has dedicated herself to helping them do just that by giving them a voice through theater.
"They have to look at their lives, look at the world around them and decide what do they think is important, what do they want to do theater about," she says.
Helen founded the Creative Arts Team Youth Theatre Program, a nonprofit group at the City University of New York.
The group provides middle and high-school students in the city with a free after-school program where they can explore issues that affect them.
"Often, they are in a situation where they feel they are being judged at school, they're being graded at school, there's a lot of pressure at home," she says. "Theater enables you to try on many different roles, so you really can gain an understanding of others while, at the same time, imagining different alternatives for where your own life might go or the different possibilities and pathways out of struggles that you're having."
"Personally, family-wise, I've dealt with people with mental health problems," says Anthony Castro, a Youth Theatre member. "I just thought that it would be a really, really good topic to choose."
Inside/Out, the group's current production, gives the students an opportunity to share their experiences with poverty, relationships, Hurricane Sandy and more, all things that have turned their lives inside out.
"At its core, theater isn't Broadway. It's actually much more base than that," says Michael Gargan Curtin, assistant director for the Youth Theatre program. "It's people expressing themselves."
"I'm no longer shy," Castro says. "I'm not afraid to express my thoughts. This place has really allowed me to speak my mind, and I've taken that into the real world.
So, for giving young New Yorkers a stage on which to share their struggles and creativity, Helen White is our New Yorker of the Week.

Get internet marketing seo services Your Website Noticed By Using These SEO Suggestions
This guide on search engine optimization could be an excellent source for understanding better what optimization of your site is really about. You need to know what you should include in your site, as well as, just where the important elements should go. These are very important things to consider and these tips will help to answer your questions, so you know how to get started right.
There are limits to what a webmaster should do to optimize search engine indexing. Some strategies for SEO can be pushed too far, resulting in spam-like, content-free web pages. Not only are these kinds of pages not appreciated by visitors, search engines will discount them in results rankings and can even drop a website, entirely, if it appears to use unethical SEO tactics.
When using SEO keyword-finding resources, be sure that you are always creative in your efforts. You do not need to search specifically for well-known words or phrases. Instead, create categories and phrases and see what people are really searching for. This way, you may be able to find a widely searched phrase that has very little competition.
While purchasing a domain name may seem like the right way to go, many search engines do not recommend it. Some search engines have a long delay for adding new sites to their existing lists, and the last thing you want is to delay getting new visitors. Using your existing website is more feasible, since the wait time for some engines is up to a full year.
Remember to effectively use the description meta tag on your website, because that is what search engines will use to summarize what a page on your website is about. Search engines will generally use a maximum of 160 characters for this description meta tag. Using the description meta tag, will go a long way toward boosting your SEO value.
The easier your site is to navigate, the easier it will be to build an audience, and thus the better your chances are of ranking higher http://professionalseoservicescompany.com/small-business-internet-marketing in search engine results. Have a clean, coherent website, and make use of simple additions like text links rather than using images or drop-down menus.
Before beginning a search engine optimization campaign, website owners should have the analytical tools they need to track website traffic already in place. Traffic is the yardstick webmasters use to measure the success of SEO efforts. Their analytical processes need to be in place before starting SEO so that they have a baseline for comparison.
Do not rely too heavily on software, or "bots" that link your site to search engines. Search engines change their algorithms so often that it usually proves difficult to choose the right keywords to link your site to prominent engines, even with the best software. Choose a qualified marketing service to advise you.
Jewelry can be a very fashionable accessory, but it will also collect a lot of bacteria during the course of the day. Clean your jewelry frequently, regardless of where it is on your body. This will help to ensure that you are minimizing the amount of bacteria that comes in contact with your skin.
An important rule to go by when dealing with search engine optimization is to use your keywords or keyword phrases in the title of your page. Using the keywords in your title will make it much more likely for users to visit your pages. If your title does not contain keywords, there is no way for users to know whether your page is relevant or not.
A good rule of thumb to go by when dealing with search engine optimization is to use your keywords and keyword phrases in the subtitles and headlines of your page. Separating your blog posts into sections with headlines gives you more opportunities to implement your keywords which will allow your page to reach more people.
Title tags are a critical part of Search Engine Optimization. Title Tags appear in your browser window in the title bar. They clue the search engine in as to what kind of information is on your page. You should label each seo marketing services page's title tags with different keywords to bring in more hits.
Pay attention to where you links go and where your homepage is. If you have a suffix appended to the URL for your homepage, such as "index.html", you could be harming your search engine rankings. External links will most likely not include the suffix, while internal links will, which causes the spiders to see fewer links to both locations.
Search engine optimization is a great way to get your blogging abilities heard. Your content will be linked by some of the best, which will generate a highly targeted audience to you. Once you have some search engine recognition you will see targeted spiders on your site to help.
You can optimize your content by placing a limit on the number of outbound links that stem from the site itself. Even the largest page on your site should have no more than 40 to 50 outbound links; your top page should be limited to only 10 outbound links. Too many outbound links compromises the overall integrity of the page, which can affect site ranking.
After you have consolidated pages within your site, cover all your bases by immediately setting up a 301 redirect. This HTML command serves as a sort of forwarding service that will reroute traffic to the new URL, allowing access to the original content. This is especially important because broken links may create the false impression that your site is no longer active.
If you choose to include embedded or linked video content on your website, you should alter the code to include descriptive keywords as part of the object title and tags. This will ensure that search engines consider the videos relevant in their overall determination of your site's relevancy score.
If search engine optimization is the next course of marketing for your site online, you want to take it on with the right skills and knowledge at hand. You don't want to let your optimization efforts fail because of your lack of information, so use tips like these to get a great start in optimizing your site, effectively and efficiently.

Only problem with that logic is the fact that it seems as if Hank can speak English better than a lot of Americans.
"Only in basement" seems like broken English due to the lack of "the".

Scalloped Edge Veil with Bead and Crystal Motif
Style VWG3121
This item is available in stores and online.*
Gorgeous veil with intricate detail is the perfect finishing touch for your look on the big day.
Scalloped Edge Veil with Bead and Crystal Motif Style VWG3121
Photos do not do this veil justice!
I purchased this veil along with my dress and I love it! the scalloped edge and bead work is exquisite and something a little different than your typical veil.
March 15, 2013
This veil is absolutely perfect. I am getting married outside and it has just enough detail to keep it from blowing all over the place. The scalloped edge also works well with my all lace dress with a scalloped edge. The price was a bit higher than I would have liked, but since it went so well, I couldn't say no...
February 19, 2013
Gorgeous Veil
I'm completely satisfied with this veil. It's gorgeous. It's detailed, yet simple. Couldn't be happier!
November 30, 2012
I really didn't want a long veil when I went to order my dress. However my mom wanted me try one on, so I did. I just loved this one it matched so perfectly to my dress. I'm so glad she pushed me to try the on. It is absolutely gorgeous.

well I don't know... I would never open such an expensive system just to store some xbox games on it lol.
and if somebody wanted to ask:
I have not recovered the xbox isos lol
Hey, they could have been some invaluable beta isos there! ;)
You never know what hidden stuff can find, like dev tools in the desr update discs dummy...
the games were all final releases and splitted in .rar parts^^
has someone got a image of the PSX desr-5100 hdd ^^'' maybe anyone?

Still no info about working chip for PSX?

Sorry but anyone who put a modchip on a DESR unit deserves public spanking. :flamethrower::evil:
Why you don't try to find an normal Japanese PS2 with an modchip or exploit installed and make FMCB boot memory card on it ? That should work on the DESR after made properly.
PlayStation Aficionado.
MSX Maniac.
really? I thought the differing versions of the dvd player were the determining factor in FMCB's success- that and getting FMCB to boot a modified dash on a system with a (from what I can tell) completely drive-loaded rom substitute would be issues?
I haven't had the time to sit down with my new psx and see, but the boot sequence alone makes me wonder if said exploit would do.. anything...
I (and I believe unclejun did too) tried the DESR bios on PCSX2 and it is just an heavily customized SCPH-10000 bios. It should be able to boot a KELF from the MC. The differing version of DVD player is no issue as long the Magic Gate region does match. The MG region coincides with the DVD Player region for the specific console and to make an bootable card for an DESR you would need an exploited JPN console.
PlayStation Aficionado.
MSX Maniac.
fair enough, i'll get a freemc card thrown together for my 10000 and see if it works...
I have spent a few hours trying to unpack the DESR OSD to see which file name it tries to look when it's loading stuff from the MC but I can't unpack that with the existing tools. There's a chance it might not work because of that.
The 10k reads osdsys.elf from BIEXEC-SYSTEM at both memory card slots.
The 18k want it's boot file to be osd120.elf.
Newer consoles (30000 and up) look for osdXXX.elf (XXX is the rom version number) and osdmain.elf...
PlayStation Aficionado.
MSX Maniac.
Yes you're correct.
What people call "V1" (And Sony calls "B-Chassis") loads osd110.elf. Board type is GH-004
What people call "V2" (And Sony calls "B'-Chassis") loads osd120.elf. Board type is GH-005.
GH-006 or "C-Chassis" (in the US) uses the 120 ROM so it loads osd120.elf.
GH-007 exists but I've only seen it on PAL units.
I'd assume you have an PAL system, not ?
Edit: Scratch that. After testing, V1 ROM (version 110) reads only osd120.elf, ROM 120 reads only osd130.elf and ROM 130 and up reads it's version number (+10) and osdmain.elf. Sorry for my mistake. It's been a while I don't deal with these files.

Yes, it's a PAL system, but it has a GH-006 motherboard. It was one of the European release day 1 systems, which may be why it has a GH-006 and not a GH-007. It has a ROMVER string of ''0120EC20000902_'' according to uLE, which means that its ROM version is 120. This is the correct way to determine ROM version. Right?
This is all very interesting...

on a random topic- is there a way to switch the d-terminal's output to rgb, or is it permanently stuck at component due to the fact that all d-term tvs only use component?
Just got the cable and made the assumption that it'd work fine with my rgb-only pvm.. yay for green!
Hello I'm very interested in these update discs. either one will work for me since i have desr-5000 with a missing hard drive and I'd like to be able to get this working again. I found the page where you can order these from sony directly but I don't understand what it says or what it's asking for.
I would be very happy to share the disc iso's online for other people to use if I can get some or if someone wouldn't mind sharing theirs, that would be even better.
Here's the sites to order the psx upgrade discs. I dont know how much you'd need to pay or where they would ship them to. If anyone can translate this info better than google can, Thanks!:pray:
the site: http://www.psx.sony.co.jp/support/upgrade7000cd.html
the form: https://entry1.sony.jp/psx/upgrade_cd_form.html
I really want to get this working again. I have another psx, same model that works great but despite my greatest efforts on any OS, I remain unable to clone the drive. It also worries me that the working psx will have a drive failure. :-(
Last edited by Cyberghost; 12-29-2010 at 03:47 AM. Reason: wrong use of words
i know for sure that i sold one of the disc to another assembler user (this one gone to usa)
i am not sure if i still got the other one, but just to clarify this :
you need an original disc, cause as far as i know, there is no way to load backups on the PSX
correct me if i am wrong ...
well, the upgrade disc no help if your PSX HDD no OS inside.

I've merged the generic Team MousePlanet announcement with the President's Challenge thread. Just so you don't get confused, here is a repost of my orginal announcement for the challenge itself.

If you haven't already, please go and read "Run/walk the WDW Marathon/Half-Marathon with Team MousePlanet" thread in the Lounge. This sticky thread is here for us to discuss details about not just the Marathon, but also fitness/exercise/training issues.

Newest Advisor: Renaissance Woman Esther Wojcicki
November 28, 2011
Here at BrainPOP we strive to keep our content current, relevant and consistently engaging. We work with content experts and advisors to assure the videos and interactive features meet your expectations. This week we introduce our newest advisor: Esther Wojcicki. Esther's impressive list of accomplishments include: founder of Palo Alto High's Journalism program, chair at Learning Matters and vice chair at Creative Commons not to mention frequent contributer at the Huffington Post and consultant for the Carnegie Foundation. With these experiences, she brings insight to the development of BrainPOP content in language arts, journalism and social studies. Esther enjoys BrainPOP because the "videos are easy to use, divided into logical categories, short but not too short and cover the material in an interesting way." Also, working closely with students in journalism courses, she explains, "kids are expected to do some research themselves, find the information themselves and collaborate with their peers. BrainPOP fits well into this new paradigm since kids can easily watch a variety of videos on their own and then join their group to share new information. Alternatively, they can watch together and then create some kind of project based on the new information they learned." Frequent readers… Read the Rest»

Decent cars that get incredible gas mileage and last over 250,000 miles when taken care of. Any Saturn up to 2002 equipped with the 124hp DOHC engine is faster than most GM3800 equipped cars because of a stellar power/weight ratio (look it up on YouTube if you don't believe it). The SOHC engine from 1991-1994 gets 37 highway @85hp, and the 1995-2002 SOHC gets 40 highway @100hp. The power on these engines is measured at the end of the transmission with all accesories installed and operating, and even the first generation 85hp single cam has enough torque to outrun the 107hp Honda D15 engine. People often bag on Saturns because they aren't fast, or because they burn more oil than the average car. Some also talk about reliability issues, but these are usually head gaskets that blow on the lemons. By the way, anything after 2002 is a rebaged Opel mixed with GM (and sometimes Honda) parts, and therefore not a true Saturn. DSM Owner: "HAHAHAHA OMG!!! You bought a Saturn?! Those things are so slow and total crap!"
Saturn Owner: "Well let's race then" *****1 mile later***** DSM Owner: "How did you beat me with only 124hp?" Saturn Owner: "Power/weight ratio, and torque wins the race. By the way, looks like you need a rebuild!" DSM Owner: "I suppose it's been 20 miles since something broke, hasn't it?" |

Average temperature at visible cloud decks is about 185 degrees Centigrade below zero.

The statement:
"We have doubled the distance our cars will go on a gallon of gas ... "
That was part of President Barack Obama's appeal to continue pushing for new energy technologies during Tuesday night's State of the Union address, a line in which he also praised the expansion of renewable energy technologies like wind and solar electricity.
There are more high-mileage gasoline and hybrid-electric vehicles on the road. And automakers certainly have come a long way since the days when hulking, high-powered Detroit steel could pass anything but a filling station.
But doubled? CNN thought that claim was worthy of a road test.
The facts:
There are some impressively efficient vehicles in production these days. The Ford C-Max and Toyota Prius plug-in hybrids get a combined city-and-highway rating of 58 miles per gallon from the Environmental Protection Agency. An electric Honda Fit gets the equivalent of 118 mpg.
And back in August, the Obama administration issued new rules that would push automakers to make their entire fleets get comparable numbers. That regulation nearly doubles the mileage requirement for manufacturers, making them boost their corporate average fuel economy (CAFE) from the current standard of 29.7 mpg for cars and light trucks to 54.5 mpg.
But the automakers have until the 2025 model year to hit that goal. And while the average car made today is more of a gas-sipper than a guzzler, 54.5 is still a long way off: The average fuel economy of passenger vehicles sold in the United States averaged 33.8 mpg as of October, up from 24.7 in 2002 and 27.1 in 2008.
And the new rules have an escape hatch: If the industry has problems meeting the new standards, there's a review process that could reduce the target.

"It's been two weeks rather than the usual one, because we've been hunting a really annoying VM regression that not a lot of people seem to have seen, but I didn't want to release an -rc4 with it," began Linux creator Linus Torvalds, announcing the 2.6.34-rc4 Linux kernel. He explained, "we had the choice of either reverting all the anon-vma scalability improvements, or finding out exactly what caused the regression and fixing it. And we got pretty close to the point where I was going to just revert it all." Linus continued:
"Absolutely _huge_ kudos to Borislav Petkov who reported the problem and was able to not just reliably reproduce it, but also test new patches to try to narrow things down at a moments notice. The thing took ten days of emails flying back and forth, and Borislav was there all the time, day and night, through several patches that tried to fix it (several real bugs, but not the one he hit) and lots of patches to just add instrumentation to get us nearer to the cause of the problem. And finally, today, confirmation that we actually nailed the problem. So if anybody has been seeing a oops (or sometimes a GP fault) in page_referenced(), that should be gone now."
As for the rest of the changes, Linus noted, "the bulk of the changes come from drivers - a new network driver (cxgb4), but also updates to the radeon and nouveau drivers. And then there is the random updates everywhere." Read on for the full changelog.
"If you're wondering why I'm taking a long time to respond to your patches,", began Theodore Ts'o on the linux-ext4 mailing list, in a thread that offered much insight into how and why to properly submit and test patches. "Patches that are accepted into mainline should do one and only one thing," Ted continued, "so if someone suggests that you make changes to your submitted patch, ideally what you should do is to resubmit the patch with the fixes --- and not submit a patch which is a delta to the previous one." He also noted that patch submitters often greatly outnumber maintainers dictating a higher standard of quality, "consider that for some maintainers, there may be 10 or 20 or 30 or more patch submitters in their subsystem. With that kind of submitter-to-maintainer ratio, the patch submitter simply has to do much more of the work, since otherwise the subsystem maintainer simply can't keep up."
Ted went on to acknowledge, "I happen to believe that we need to encourage newcomers to the kernel developer community, and so I spend more time mentoring people who are new to the process." He noted that his time was finite however, and that patches are accepted more quickly when they are easy to review and integrate. Regarding the filesystem for which the patches had been submitted, he added, "Ext4 is actually quite stable at this point. Very large numbers of people are using it, and most users are quite happy." For this reason, he pointed out that it is even more critical that the patches merged be of high quality. That said, he continued, "there is no such thing as code which is not buggy. For any non-trivial program, it's almost certain there are bugs. [...] Ext4 is not exempt from these fundamental laws of software engineering. 'Code is always buggy until the last user of the program dies'." He tied this back to the importance of testing patches before submitting, "keep in mind that the maxim that code which is not buggy also applies to your patches."
Mel Gorman posted the seventh version of his Memory Compaction patches asking, "are there any further obstacles to merging?" The patches, first posted in May of 2007, provide a mechanism for moving GFP_MOVABLE pages into a smaller number of pageblocks, reducing externally fragmented memory. Mel explains that 'compaction' is another method of defragmenting memory, "for example, lumpy reclaim is a form of defragmentation as was slub 'defragmentation' (really a form of targeted reclaim). Hence, this is called 'compaction' to distinguish it from other forms of defragmentation."
The core compaction patch explains that memory is compacted in a zone by relocating movable pages towards the end of the zone:
"A single compaction run involves a migration scanner and a free scanner. Both scanners operate on pageblock-sized areas in the zone. The migration scanner starts at the bottom of the zone and searches for all movable pages within each area, isolating them onto a private list called migratelist. The free scanner starts at the top of the zone and searches for suitable areas and consumes the free pages within making them available for the migration scanner. The pages isolated for migration are then migrated to the newly isolated free pages."
Arnd Bergmann noted that he's working on removing the BKL from the Linux kernel, "I've spent some time continuing the work of the people on Cc and many others to remove the big kernel lock from Linux and I now have [a] bkl-removal branch in my git tree". He went on to explain that his branch is working, and lets him run the Linux kernel, "on [a] quad-core machine with the only users of the BKL being mostly obscure device driver modules." Arnd noted that this effort has a long history, "the oldest patch in this series is roughly eight years old and is Willy's patch to remove the BKL from fs/locks.c, and I took a series of patches from Jan that removes it from most of the VFS."
Arnd noted that his patch adds a global mutex to the TTY layer, which he called the 'Big TTY Mutex' and described as, "the basic idea here is to make recursive locking and the release-on-sleep explicit, so every mutex_lock, wait_event, workqueue_flush and schedule in the TTY layer now explicitly releases the BTM before blocking." Alan Cox suggested that this portion of the patch was best dropped for now, "it would be nice to get the other bits in first removing BKL from most of the kernel and building kernels which are non BKL except for the tty layer. That (after Ingo's box from hell has run it a bit) would reasonably test the assertion that the tty layer has no BKL requirements that are driven by [code] external to tty layer code." Andrew Morton suggested that the patches be pushed upstream to their appropriate maintainers for an additional sanity check, "Seems that there might be a few tricksy bits in here. Please do push at least the non-obvious parts out to the relevant people."
KernelTrap has been updated to Drupal 6. We're running a fair bit of custom code, so please let me know if you find anything broken or if any of your favorite features are missing. And yes, this upgrade is the first step toward getting regular posts on the website again.
Netfilter maintainer Patrick McHardy recently announced a first alpha-release of nftables, slated to eventually replace iptables as the standard Linux packet filtering engine. Nftables aims to simplify the kernel ABI, reduce code duplication, improve error reporting, and provide more efficient execution, storage and updates of filtering rules. Patrick began with a high level overview of the three pieces that comprise the firewall, "the kernel provides a netlink configuration interface, as well as runtime ruleset evaluation using a small classification language interpreter. libnl contains the low-level functions for communicating with the kernel, the nftables frontend is what the user interacts with." An insightful overview can be found on lwn.net.
Patrick explained that data is represented internally in a generic fashion, "meaning it's possible to use any matching feature (ranges, masks, set lookups etc.) with any kind of data." He went on to add, "the kernel doesn't have a distinction between matches and targets anymore, operations can be arbitrarily chained, fixing a common complaint that multiple rules are required to f.i. log and drop a packet. Terminal operations will stop evaluation of a rule, even if further operations are specified." Speaking about the the userspace frontend, he noted, "the classification language is based on a real grammar that is parsed by a bison-generated parser (currently, it might have to be replaced) and converted to a syntax tree." Patrick continued, "the frontend supports both dealing with only a single rule at a time for incremental operations, as well as parsing entire files. In the later case verification is performed on all rules and changes are only made after full validation. Currently not implemented, but planned, is transactional semantic where changes are rolled back when the kernel reports an error."
"So yet another week, another -rc," began Linux creator, Linus Torvalds, announcing the 2.6.27-rc8 Linux kernel. He continued, "this one should be the last one: we're certainly not running out of regressions, but at the same time, at some point I just have to pick some point, and on the whole the regressions don't look _too_ scary. And -rc8 obviously does fix more of them." Linus went on to note that most of the changes since -rc7 are small, "and there aren't even a whole lot of them."
Jiri Kosina cautioned that there is still an unknown bug affecting the e1000e driver currently in the 2.6.27 kernel, "rendering the cards unusable for most of the i-am-not-a-hacker users (and remember, even Dave Airlie bricked his laptop completely to death, when trying to restore eeprom contents)" When asked how to duplicate the bug, Jiri noted that the inability to reliably reproduce the bug added to the difficulty in debugging the problem, "apparently it is some kind of race, as it usually takes multiple cycles to trigger".
"The _real_ bug is clearly in the hardware design that allows you to brick those things without apparently even having a lock bit. I'm hoping Intel doesn't treat this as just a software bug. Some hw designer should be thinking hard about which orifice they put their head up in."
"The patches most people hopefully care about tend to be small details," noted Linus Torvalds, announcing the 2.6.27-rc6 kernel. He continued, "and so more regressions should hopefully be closed now, some by just reverting the commits that caused breakage. I don't think anything special merits explicit comment, but you can get a flavor for things by scanning the appended shortlog." Earlier in the announcement email, Linus did note some specifics about which drivers caused the bulk of the patch:
"Same old deal - except it's been almost two weeks since -rc5. That said, the diff is actually about the same size, so I guess that means things are calming down. Most of the diff (bulk-wise) is updates to the new gspca (standard USB webcam) driver, although some of it is also removal of the dead miropcm20* driver."
"Some secure protocols like SSH send encrypted keystrokes as they're typed. By doing timing analysis you can figure out which keys the user probably typed (keys that are physically close together on a keyboard can be typed faster). A careful analysis can reveal the length of passwords and probably some of [the] password itself."
Daniel Phillips noted that his new Tux3 versioning filesystem is now operating like a filesystem, "the last burst of checkins has brought Tux3 to the point where it undeniably acts like a filesystem: one can write files, go away, come back later and read those files by name. We can see some of the hoped for attractiveness starting to emerge: Tux3 clearly does scale from the very small to the very big at the same time. We have our Exabyte file with 4K blocksize and we can also create 64 Petabyte files using 256 byte blocks." He went on to discuss some of the remaining features yet to be implemented, including atomic commits, versioning, coalesce on delete, a version of the filesystem written in the kernel, extents, locking, and extended attributes.
Reviewing the above list, Daniel decided he would work next on the coalesce on delete functionality, noting, "without this we can still delete files but we cannot recover file index blocks, only empty them, not so good." He added that at this time he was only going to focus on file truncation, "as soon as file truncation is added to the test mix we will see much more interesting behavior from the bitmap allocator, and we will discover some great ways to generate horrible fragmentation issues. Yummy." Daniel continued to point out that Tux3 is an open source project, and as such is always looking for others to participate, "whoever wants to carve their initials on what is starting to look like a for-real Linux filesystem, now is a great time to take a flyer. The code base is still tiny, builds fast, has lots of interactive feedback and is easy to work on. And you get to put your email address near the beginning of the list, which will naturally write its way into the history of open source. Probably."
"A weak coder becomes a strong coder by reading code and writing code - every day, for fun."
Linus Torvalds announced the 2.6.27-rc5 Linux Kernel, noting that his "weekly releases" tend to happen every eight days, adding, "the bulk of it is all config updates, and with arm and powerpc leading the pack." Linus continued:
"While the config updates amount to about three quarters of the diff, and if you don't use a rename-aware diff the blackfin include file movement pretty much accounts for the rest, hidden behind all those trivial (but bulky) changes are a lot of small changes that hopefully fix a number of regressions.
"The most exciting (well, for me personally - my life is apparently too boring for words) was how we had some stack overflows that totally corrupted some basic thread data structures. That's exciting because we haven't had those in a long time. The cause turned out to be a somewhat overly optimistic increase in the maximum NR_CPUS value, but it also caused some introspection about our stack usage in general. Including things like a patch to gcc to fix insane stack usage for vararg functions on x86-64. But that one would only hit anybody who was a bit too adventurous and selected the big 4096 CPU configuration. The rest of the regressions fixed are a bit more pedestrian."
"Be careful -- there are some serious dragons there in the presence of multiple threads."
"Another week, another -rc," began Linus Torvalds, announcing the 2.6.27-rc4 Linux kernel, continuing, "this time the diffstat is almost totally dominated by the addition of the musb driver that drives the MUSB and TUSB controllers integrated into omap2430 and davinci. That, together with the removal of the auerswald USB driver (replaced by libusb version) is more than half of the bulk of the patch, and obviously most users won't ever notice." Linus added:
"Apart from those bulky USB updates, there's some arch updates (blackfin and ia64), network and input driver updates, and an XFS and UBIFS update. The rest is mostly random stuff all over, probably best described by the appended shortlog. A number of regressions should be off the table, but more remain..."

Square Simple Sketch 16-pc Set
This product is good for everyday use.
this product is easy to clean. it is very light and handy to use.
December 10, 2012
Beautiful and strong! Just what I wanted. Going in a cabin where the "other" dishes were all chipped. So I remembered how long my mom has had her Corelle dishes and it has been around 35 years. So it was a easy pick. I think these will make it that long!
August 26, 2012
Wonderful clean, simple lines.
I was given Simple Lines as a gift and loved it's style and simplicity. I decided I wanted to have more place settings but decided to add even more interest by adding Simple Sketch and Scribble Lines for mix-or-match table settings!
January 28, 2012
nicer design than anticipated
This product was delivered fast and without damages. This design is really clean cut. I love it.
November 20, 2011
Very pleased with the product
Years ago I bought some Corelle by accident and since then I try to buy it when ever I have to replace dishes or buy a wedding gift as the dishes are strong and do not chip or break easily.
October 14, 2011
Simple pattern. Great value.
We paired these with the Mandarin Flower pattern. I like the contrast between masculine and feminine. My husband didn't want all flowers, and neither did I. I know these dishes will be great with kids because my previous set of Corelle dishes lasted us 12 years with only one dish breaking. We donated the set because we were tired of the pattern! My one frustration is the lack of square or rectangular serving pieces. So for the current moment we have no serving dishes, but I'm hopeful they will show up soon and we can order them.
September 8, 2011
Love these dishes!
Love these dishes! The pattern and square style are great. Just think the smaller plates could be a little smaller. They are almost as big as the dinner plates.
July 28, 2011
This is it!
I searched high and low for dinnerware that my family could use everyday, but was nice enough to use when company visited. This is it!
The design is minimalistic and elegant. The dinner plates are much larger than most dinnerware on the market, making them functional for even the most elaborate of dinners. The smaller plates are great to use for breakfast and lunch. The square bowls are large enough for a big helping of chili, cereal, etc. We love large bowls for big noodle dishes and I have a teenager who eats big bowls of cereal, so I completed my set by buying some of the large, white round bowls.
Correlle is great - you can't break it. It won't chip. I highly recommend this product.
March 27, 2011
Had to get a second set!!!
Corelle Pro Sketch pattern set is relatively thicker plate and has a clean simple pattern. Liked the first set so much we went out and acquired a second set. Found one plate with a defective pattern print but otherwise a superb product. My only recommendation to the company is to improve quality control and keep up the making of strong dinnerware with great simple patterns.

1. | false alarm | ||
When your pants bunch up at the precise area in which you would usually store an erection thereby creating the illusion of arousal.
Generally speaking, discovery of such a false alarm usually comes at the hands of someone who is familiar with you nether regions and would feel comfortable enough testing it out. I thought he'd finally gotten over his fear of intimacy so I went to grab and just got a handful of Levis... yup, it was just a false alarm.
2. | False Alarm | ||
Having the need to go poo. Once getting to the toilet, nothing seems to come out. You decide to go later on during the day when you really need to go. Daughter: Mom. Hurry up in there! I have to drop a deuce!!
Mother: Okay Daughter: sitting on toilet..."Why isn't anything coming out? Daughter: FALSE ALARM!!! I guess I should wait and try again later. |
3. | False Alarm | ||
After flatulating with unusual warmth, this feeling of warmth impresses on the perpretator a sense of anguish, dismay, and shock, because the perpretator had thought he/she (most likely he) had produced a solid instead of a gas.
4. | False Alarm | ||
Is when you spot a chick that you think is working with something, that looks good from far away and then when you get a closer look she ends up not meeting expectations Damn! she look like she got a donk oh wait........never mind false alarm :-(
5. | False Alarm | ||
While sexing a woman doggy style, you spit on her back and tell her you came, and when she turns around you bust a nut in her face. I pulled a false alarm on this bitch and she's blind to this day!
6. | false alarm | ||
fake, fraud,not true i bust my gun man dats a false alarm
7. | false alarm | ||
when you go to the bathroom thinking you need to shit but after several minutes on the toilet of waiting you don't go at all until hours later. false alarm anthem:

Marquette Fanatics
Join the Marquette Fanatics student group — super fans who bleed blue and gold. Fanatics tickets include admission to all Marquette home sporting events, including men's and women's basketball. Stake your claim on game day. It's hard to miss Fanatics in the stands. They're not just the loudest fans in the building. They're the most colorful, too. Though we don't advocate skipping class, we have seen one or two crazed fans sprinting east on Wisconsin Avenue heading from our chemistry labs to the Bradley Center in the final moments before tipoff.
