Hello, I am new to IBD
I don't get what the current outlook on the market pulse 02/01/13 is trying to say. Can those who are more experienced shed light on this? Thanks!
Hi Sistar,
welcome to the forums. What I gathered from the big picture is "As long as sell signals aren't appearing, there's no reason — apart from profit-taking — to sell ".
So what are these sell signals? I take a look at the status. Currently it is in a confirmed uptrend which is good. I also take a look at the number of distribution days. They are ok, I get more concerned when one is at 5. I also take a look at the number of leaders up in volume versus down in volume.
Everything else adds some more color and insight into what the market is doing. We've been in an uptrend for over a month now, so the strength of the market may be weakening. The Big Picture is just saying that unless you have a big profit, it may be best not to sell as yet. Nothing is definite.
Are you just asking about the current outlook status or more of a general question?
there's at least three different outlooks for the market, maybe more but I can't think of them right now: Market in Correction, Confirmed Uptrend, and Uptrend under Pressure.
You might consider the daily videos on IBDtv. There are two daily features: Daily Stock Analysis, and the Market Wrap. There's a little bit of news, a bit of education, and a bit on how to approach the current market.
Here's the Market Wrap for Friday, Feb 1st:

here's some nice advice from Monday Night's The Big Picture column.
Stocks Fall Hard, But Volume Declines
Volume fell across the board, especially on the NYSE. But turnover still was above average on the Nasdaq. (2) Losers swamped winners by more than 3-to-1 on both major exchanges. Technically, Monday's lower trade means the major indexes avoided a distribution day, a bout of institutional selling. But the day's sharp losses should not be dismissed.
Since the November follow-through, the Nasdaq and the S&P 500 had rallied 7% through Friday's close. Stocks have also climbed for five straight weeks, with most major averages hitting multiyear highs. And many leading stocks in a variety of industry groups have already staged breakouts.
Thus, some pullback can be expected after such a move.
Investors should focus on handling their holdings. Take profits once they amount to 20% to 25%. For stocks that are underwater, sometimes you don't have to wait for an 8% loss before selling.
Then what about today?? There isnt any Big Picture market outlook as of today 2/21/2013 when we need its guidance the most~
There is. Uprend under Pressure means think about taking profits and not waiting until an 8% loss. It's a warning that things don't look right, but they could turn around. Don't place any new buys.
For instance, I moved from 20% cash to 60% cash in two days and I'm holding off buying.
Just one thing. I use the end of the day Big Picture to confirm what I saw during the day. However, at any point you can go to the investors.com home page and look at the market signals at the top.
Volume being up confirms the movement of the market. Therefore, if the NYSE is moving up, and the volume is moving up, I trust more what is occurring. If the prices are moving down and the volume is up, then get out of the way.
This works most of the time.

Front-Wheel-Drive is paired with an eight speed automatic transmission for an EPA estimated 18 mpg city and 28 mpg highway. Options include 20-inch wheels, LED taillights, LED headlights, four-zone automatic climate control, sunroof with sliding/tilting function, seven inch color driver information display, heated rear seats, keyless start, hands-free phone capability, six-disc CD changer, Navigation with voice control, BOSE� sound system, HD radio, and iPod� integration.

Six Reasons to Start Your Own Cleaning Business Company
Being part of the cleaning industry for a few years now, I've enjoyed being a business owner. Furthermore, I've enjoyed the perks that come with being in the cleaning industry. More on that later, but for now, let's focus on five reasons to start your own cleaning business.
Put it this way.
If a 28 year old guy, with a full-time job, another business on the go and with very limited time can start a cleaning business – you can as well.
However, keep in mind that starting your own business, particularly a cleaning business is not for everyone. If you're unsure whether starting a cleaning business is for you or not, read my post on why start a cleaning business.
I've always wanted to become a small business owner. I often thought about owning different businesses or a franchise of some sort. However, none of the other ideas transpired, simply because of two things: Fear of Failure and Start Up Capital.
So, what came next? Well something I already knew a little bit about, which happened to be the cleaning business. I used to work as a teenager alongside my parents cleaning various office's and commercial buildings. We never dabbled into house cleaning, but rather stuck to the commercial cleaning side of things. Cleaning offices and commercial institutions worked with our schedule. We worked full-time during the day, so cleaning in the evenings for extra cash was a perfect fit. And we did it for years, until my parents eventually gave it up.
Ten years later, I answered my calling and decided to start my own cleaning business. Why not? It required minimal capital to start up and I could do it part-time.
However, this article is not about my start up success, but rather about you and five reasons to start your own cleaning business:
1. Low Start Up Costs
You can start your own cleaning business with virtually no money. Now, that's not really true, because any business has start up costs associated with it. I started my own cleaning business for under $300. Here's what it cost me to start up my own cleaning business:
- Business name registration (Ontario) – $75
- Open up a business bank account – FREE
- 500 business cards – $75
- 100 flyer's (design & print) – $150
- Cleaning tools & equipment – FREE (collected rags, cleaning bottles, dusters and brooms from the garage)
2. Work on Your Own Time
You don't need to invest a lot of time up front. I started off part time and two years later, I am still holding my cleaning business to part-time basis. I enjoy my daytime job, but equally as much enjoy being an owner of a cleaning company. The best part of my cleaning business, is that I make it work around my full-time work schedule. All the jobs are in the evenings and weekends.
3. Learn as You Go
The beauty of owning a cleaning business is that you control how big or small the business grows. Maybe, you want to be like my self and keep the business small and earn an income passively. Keeping my cleaning business small allows me to learn from my mistakes as I go. You can start off small as well and keep it like that for some time. This lets you work the bugs out before expanding.
4. You Don't Have to Quit Your Day Job
If you're like me and need your full-time income to pay your mortgage, than you don't quit your day job. That was one of the biggest attractions towards starting my cleaning business. I got to keep my regular job, while earning a passive income on the side.
5. Control Your Own Destiny
The beautiful part of working for your self, is that you control your own destiny. Sure, there are many successful cleaning franchises out there, but there are many drawbacks of being a cleaning franchise owner. You don't ever get to work on your own pace. You are always expected perform. By being an independent owner/operator, you work on your own terms.
6. Simple & Quick Start Up Process
That's right, you don't need weeks or months to start your own cleaning business. I started mine in less than 24 hours. I registered my business one afternoon, opened up a business bank account the next day and started to hand out flyer's to local businesses, pitching my cleaning business.
If you've ever thought about starting your own business, I would highly recommended starting a cleaning business. However, it's not for everyone. For example, if you don't enjoy cleaning, this business model is not for you.
Everything I said above is true. Starting a cleaning business does not take a lot time and requires very minimal monies to start up. However, I'm still going to stress the fact that if you don't enjoy cleaning, you won't enjoy the cleaning industry very much.

We're a little over two months away from the release of Ke$ha's sophomore studio album Warrior, and if the debut single Die Young is any indication of what's to come, Warrior will be the a bigger and better version of Animal. Keeping her signature themes of parties, sex and living to excess, Ke$ha let's her vocals shine through on Die Young.
Breaking the mold on lyric videos by actually appearing in it, Ke$ha uses footage from her Die Young teaser videos, which were shot in the Tokyo Subway, and psychedelic lettering for the lyrics. It's trippy and I like it.
Ke$ha's sophomore album Warrior is set to be released on December 4.

Brandon Soedarmasto leads Division to Nassau bowling title
You know you're an underdog when on the morning of the county championships . . .
"I told my guys we're gonna win it," Junior Brasino said, "and they didn't believe me."
His Division bowling teammates confirmed that story. After all, this is a Conference VII team that wasn't among the elite and hadn't won a title since 1996. Even for them, those facts trumped any athletic bravado.

Actor Dante Brown of "Won't Back Down" Delightful Dante!
Interview with Kam Williams
Born in Chicago on October 6, 1999, Dante Brown's big break came at the tender age of 5 when he beat out 500 other children to be showcased as a dancer, comedian and actor on Oprah's 1st "Amazing Kids" show. A self-taught dancer who learned his moves by watching Michael Jackson, Usher and Chris Brown's Youtube videos, Brown's amazing moves have been compared to that of a young Usher.
Dante can also beatbox, rap, play piano by ear and make beats. With his younger brother, Dusan, he performs as a duo known as "The Brown Boys." The siblings released their first album at 10 and 8, and have opened for such notable acts as the New Boyz, DJ Tha Pope and Trey Songz.
Here, he talks about starring opposite Viola Davis in Won't Back Down, an inspirational tale of female empowerment about a teacher and a single-mom who join forces to improve a grammar school.
Kam Williams: Hi, Dante, thanks for the interview.
Dante Brown: Oh, no problem, Mr. Williams. Thanks for interviewing me.
KW: What interested you in Won't Back Down?
DB: When my agent sent over the sides for my audition on the tape, the project was originally named Still I Rise. I immediately thought of Maya Angelou's poem and was very interested in getting to know my character more, as well as the story. My name means poetic, so it's ironic that I love poetry, and I was like, "Wow, interesting movie! [LOL] Then I read the sides and the character was very different than me. But since the movie is a drama, and I love drama, I wanted to nail my audition to make sure I got a callback and be strongly considered for the role. So, it was a combination of all those things that initially interested me in Won't Back Down. And, oh yeah, for callbacks, I had to read the entire script before auditioning with the director, Mr. Daniel Barnz. By then, I knew that the message would be very powerful and I definitely wanted to be a part of this.
KW: What was it like to work opposite Viola Davis as your mother, and with the rest of such an accomplished cast?
DB: Working with Mrs. Davis... it was a joy! She was funny. She gave me tips and also helped me understand the importance of "being in the scene," so I could hold up to her star quality. She was very approachable and down to earth, so it made working with her very easy. She sort of reminds me of my Mom, so I never felt like I had to act, but simply be her son for the time being, while shooting the movie. Whenever I'd goof around, she'd have no problem with me either, in a nice way, of course. [Chuckles] I still keep in contact with her and will always look at her as an amazing actress that I was privileged to work with and get to know. As for working with the entire cast, it was like I was playing in the NBA All-Star game. [LOL] It showed me how great things can happen when you apply yourself and believe in yourself. Being in their presence taught me that hard work and dedication pay off and one day I hope to be able to share my on-set experience and knowledge with newcomers. Overall, everyone was really nice and fun to work with and being a part of such a talented cast forced me to bring my A-game, too.
KW: How would you describe your character, Cody?
DB: My character, Cody Alberts, is the son of Nona [played by Viola Davis] and Charles Alberts [played by Mr. Lance Reddick]. Cody has a learning disability and, during a pivotal point in the movie, you'll learn the cause of his learning disorder. He's sort of a quiet kid, gets bullied at school, doesn't have any friends, and the kids pick on him by calling him names and stuff.
KW: You were named one of the All-Time Amazing Kids by Oprah. Did that make it hard to dumb yourself down to play an academically-challenged child?
DB: No, it didn't make it hard because as an actor I've learned to pull traits and characteristics from friends at school, relatives, by watching YouTube videos, other characters in other movies, etcetera. So, although I'm not like Cody at all, it took a lot of preparation and research to prepare emotionally for my audition and scenes as Cody. But that's what we do as actors and that's the gift God blessed me with, an ability to relate to people, and to actually become the characters I hope to play. Transforming into someone else.... I love it!
KW: How would you describe you and your brother, Dusan's, debut CD, "Here Come The Brown Boys?"
DB: Fun! Exciting! Entertaining! Our CD has 11 songs, a little something for everyone. We get calls and messages from family and friends all the time telling us how catchy the songs are, how our friends and cousins enjoy listening on car rides to and from school, and just how proud they are of this project. Kids love it and adults, too. We actually have some dope beats on it and some great lyrics. We love performing songs from our CD and look forward to making more music in the future. We like making the type of music that inspires people. We've performed at schools and churches. The CD is good, kid-friendly music that can be performed anywhere. Shout out to my parents for executive-producing the album and Mr. Spike Rebel for producing and helping us tremendously with our first project. We look forward to our next album. Oh yeah, and stay tuned for the 8 year-old singing sensation Jayda B's new hit, "I Rock My Tutu." She invited us to collaborate and it's hot! The video should be coming out soon, and the single will be available on iTunes as well.
KW: You have been blessed with many talents. Which is your favorite way to perform: acting, rapping, singing, dancing or playing piano?
DB: That's kind of tough, but I'd have to say acting because it's just so much fun being able to be someone else when auditioning for different roles and then working on set. But most definitely rapping, too. What I enjoy about rapping is being able to express myself with words. The Bible says that our words are very powerful. I like being able to spit hot bars and see the surprised reaction of people and hearing them say, "Wow, did that just come from a kid?" So, both acting and rapping allow me to tell stories and, like most people, I love a good story!
KW: Where do you go to school? Or are you homeschooled?
DB: I attend a great middle school in The Valley. I hope you understand that I can't say which one for security reasons. But I love going to school, being in a traditional school atmosphere, having immediate access to my teachers, when needed, and interacting with my friends and playing sports. And I plan to attend regular school so long as I can balance everything and thrive while preparing for college.
KW: What do you do for fun?
DB: Fun? I'm the type of person that loves to have fun! So, I can turn any situation into a fun environment fun for me. I have fun going to school and auditioning, and even more fun when I'm on set. I have fun at home with my little brother, I have fun wrestling and fishing with my Dad. I have fun at church. I have fun when our family has movie nights at home or movie dates at the theater. But particularly my weekends, here in L.A., are generally free and I love living a very active lifestyle. So, we're rarely home. I'll either hang out with my friends for a while or go play basketball, swim, go to the movies, participate in The Looking Ahead Program, watch YouTube videos, work on my rap music or make beats, or even play NBA 2K12 - My Player Mode.
KW: What is your guiltiest pleasure?
DB: Candy! Twizzlers in particular. [Laughs] Yummy for my tummy!
KW: The Michael Ealy question: If you could meet any historical figure, who would it be?
DB: Hmmm... interesting question. I would love to meet Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
KW: The bookworm Troy Johnson question: What was the last book you read?
DB: "The Barcode Tattoo" by Suzanne Weyn.
KW: The music maven Heather Covington question: What was the last song you listened to?
DB: "Diamonds of Sierra Leone" by Kanye West, the clean version, of course.
KW: When you look in the mirror, what do you see?
DB: A young man with a desire to make a positive impact on the world by using the gifts God has blessed him with. I see a nice guy that enjoys people, a happy person enjoying life.
KW: The Toure question: Who is the person who helped you to become the person you are today?
DB: Definitely, my parents. I don't really have one person, because they both help equally to develop me, guide me, support me and keep me on the straight and narrow path.
KW: The Judyth Piazza question: What key quality do you believe all successful people share?
DB: They all have "something" that drives them to be hard workers... a passion for their goals. And they also appear to be very focused on achieving their dreams. As my Mom had a successful corporate career and my Dad is a successful entrepreneur, I would have to say for me and my family, visualizing our accomplishments, taking small steps, daily, and putting God first.
KW: What advice do you have for anyone who wants to follow in your footsteps?
DB: Alright, read a whole bunch of books and pray! This way, you'll become an exceptional reader, as well as learn how to fully comprehend and interpret the many scripts that you may receive. Stay true to yourself. Don't let anyone tell you, you can't do it. Maintain your inner confidence and for the details, contact my Mom. You can visit her website [www.MomagersRock.com] because she's helped a lot of moms get their kids started in the business and she has a very, very long note there on that website, spelling out exactly what she did to get me and my little brother started. The key part to this is prayer. I hold this part sacred and don't really share this with any and everybody, but I do feel it's necessary to spread the truth about what I find most valuable. I'd tell other kids wanting to become an actor, to ask God to direct your path and if this is His goal for your life, then He will open doors for you.
KW: The Tavis Smiley question: How do you want to be remembered?
DB: I want to be remembered as a good person. Someone who people enjoy being around. That person that inspires you and has a light about him that you just can't put your finger on, but makes you feel good when you're in his presence. I also want to be remembered as a true professional of the entertainment industry, as a sharp thinker and creative. As a hard-working, yet fun person that people love and that loves to have fun. People often refer to me as a young Denzel. I think that would be great to follow in his footsteps as an actor. Although I haven't met him yet, he seems like a very classy man, so being referred as a younger him, I think is a huge compliment.
KW: Thanks again for the time, Dante, and best of luck with the film.
DB: Thank you, Mr. Williams. Thank you. It was fun doing this interview. Good questions and I appreciate your taking the time to interview me.

The TGFβ1 Emax® ImmunoAssay System allows sensitive and specific detection of biologically active TGFβ1 in an antibody sandwich format. In this format, flat-bottom 96-well plates are coated with TGFβ Coat mAb, which binds soluble TGFβ1. The captured TGFβ1 is bound by a second specific polyclonal antibody (pAb). After washing, the amount of specifically bound pAb is detected using a species-specific antibody conjugated to horseradish peroxidase (TGFβ HRP Conjugate) as a tertiary reactant. The unbound conjugate is removed by washing and, following an incubation with a chromogenic substrate, the color change is measured. The amount of TGFβ1 in the test solutions is proportional to the color generated in the oxidation-reduction reaction. Using this system, biologically active TGFβ1 in tissue culture supernatants, plasma, serum or urine can be quantitated in the range of 32–1,000pg/ml.The TGFβ1 Emax® ImmunoAssay System offers several benefits:

Aww. So sorry to hear that. I had a fiance. Once. She left me. I know that feel man....
My girlfriend of 1 1/2 years just left me today. I need someone to help me. I was actually in the process of trying to find a ring. I was going to propose on may 24/25 right at midnight Please. Any kind of cheering up is welcome
Image by the AMAZING Lillian Thorne
Aww. So sorry to hear that. I had a fiance. Once. She left me. I know that feel man....
"Who we are I'll never know
But when we spoke I knew you well
You knew me well
You loved me through and through
I never thought I would watch you leave us
From a room as a kid I held so close
I was a son made up on sand
You were the wind that let me go
I'll say goodbye
So this is goodbye
But I'm afraid to speak
So with words I'll tell the story
You meant so much to me
And like the night upon nights to come
I will dream of you
And know that I will see you seen
Give me the strength to carry on!
You are the ocean tide!
The swells swept you away
I was a son made of sand
You were the wind that let me go
When the ocean tide has risen to high
And the waters have come to carry you away
Remember I will always be there to sing you to sleep....."
Showdown, remember, Veil and I have your back. If anyone knows that friends can get you through this type of thing, it's us.
I am always open for talking, my friend
Better to find out now rather than later. Just wish her the best of luck, reflect from your experiences with her, and you will become a better man for the next woman in your life. Meanwhile, do what makes you happy. Don't jump into another relationship just yet. Stick to your studies and/or hobbies, do things for yourself. It sucks to lose someone who you depended upon for happiness and love, but the healthiest thing to do is to find those two things in yourself. If you need someone to talk to, you can PM me or add me on Skype.
Thanks guys and christie, i already added you. Mine is showdownthewriter

Listen to some melodic music and unwind. Reggae works for me.
It hurts, but it's better it happened now than when you propose or even after that. *consoling hug*
I don't bite...I nibble.
Dude, I feel you man. Here's two words the rock band Kiss has taught me, "Love Stinks"
I can't say I've ever been in the engagement zone, but I've been walked away from by people I thought loved me many, many times.
You might be feeling like no one can ever replace her, or that it's somehow all your fault, but stick it out and it will get better. Struggle is natures way of strengthening; get through this and you'll emerge a much stronger, more experienced human being.
Christiefries knows what's up. That's the advice you need to be following; don't let these negative feelings take over your life, and above all don't rush out for the rebound. This is your opportunity to focus more on yourself, to show yourself you can be a strong and independent person.
These little bumps in the road of life are our growing points, where we will draw experience from in the future.
If you wanna talk, I'm around. Stay strong!

The town council meeting in Black Jack on Tuesday night regarding the chickens was extraordinarily well attended. In case you have not been following, my friend Guy Niere received a letter a little less than a week ago without warning, demanding that he get rid of his rare breed of endangered chickens by July 2nd.
There had never been any complaints lodged against his chickens. In fact, his neighbor who lives nearest to his coops spoke in his defense saying that if there were anyone who had a reason to complain, it should be her, but she had not even known that he had chickens!
It appears that the mayor saw an article from the Post Dispatch dated April 25, 2012 and did not realize that people in Black Jack had chickens. The comments on the Post article do not speak highly of the city's actions and the mayor's attention to this matter. The Post Dispatch sent a reporter who submitted this article just after midnight.
All four co-organizers from our area's 405 member local backyard chicken meetup group were in attendance, and speakers from Clayton and residents from Black Jack and myself all spoke on behalf of the locavore/local grown/green food movement, and a person's right to own chickens. There are no ordinances banning chickens in Black Jack. There are ordinances against poultry farms, and that is what Guy was cited against. If one has ever been to a massive factory farm warehousing chickens and compared it to a backyard chicken coop, where chickens get out all day and eat bugs and till and fertilize the gardens, anyone can tell the difference.
The mayor does not even seem to be aware that one of his neighbors has chickens. Why? Because the chickens are NOT A PROBLEM!
Yesterday, following the meeting of Tuesday night, the press went wild, and Channel 4 News/KMOV, Channel 11/KPLR and Fox2 all showed up at Neire's residence with cameras in tow. Andy Banker, co-anchor of Fox 2/11, and Russell Kinsaul, anchor/reporter of Channel 4 very positively presented Guy's case, and I watched it with interest.
Friday, from 4-5 p.m. I will be a guest speaker on WGNU radio and yes - you can bet this will be brought up!
Chickens are legal in Clayton, Kirwood, Webster, Ladue, Creve Coeur, Maplewood, Richmond Heights - in fact, Guy even spoke at their city council in advisement of setting up chicken guidelines. He lives next to a vacant four-acre field and his nearest neighbors live on 3 and 20 acres beside and behind him. C'mon now, aren't there more important things to do in city hall than fuss about a few chickens?

Wow, you mean Norman McCourt is still mayor? I would have figured that after his last controversy voters would have sent him packing. If this gets enough media attention, he'll back down. He did last time.
Dorene Olson
9:25 pm on Friday, June 8, 2012
Jerry, thank you for your insight. I am not a St. Louis native but now I do remember this case. I will pass your comment onto Guy - he is sure appreciating all the support. He walked into his bank today and they all yelled: "LOOK! It's the Chicken Man!" I am so heartened to hear that you think that you think that the mayor might back down. Many people are VERY adamant that the mayor is on a witch hunt and is power hungry and is very unpopular in very many ways right now. Interestingly, horses are not banned in Black Jack ... why??? ... because? ... maybe because the McCourts have horses???? Gee, must be a selective banning on hobbies. A horse was running down Old Halls Ferry just last week in traffic, but I guess little fuzzy chickens are more dangerous.
Thanks for your comment, I appreciate it, I will pass it on to Guy -

Open-face turkey sandwich: The version here toys a bit with Itasca Wiggins's, embellishing the gravy with sauteed mushrooms and shallots. A bit of parsley adds color, but you can skip such fanciness. (Bill Hogan/Chicago Tribune) |
But the anticipation? It goes on for weeks. I was struck by this idea as a colleague, Itasca Wiggins, rhapsodized more than a month ago about one of her favorite Thanksgiving traditions: the post-feast turkey sandwich. Of course, cold turkey on bread, slicked with mayo and embellished with other treasures, like cranberry sauce or stuffing, is as iconic as the glistening mahogany roasted bird itself.
But Itasca likes her sandwich hot, open face, with plenty of gravy poured over the layers of turkey, cranberry and leftover dinner rolls that gird the whole. Conjuring an old-style diner classic, her knife-and-fork version intrigued.
So I tried it, and now I'm convinced of her rightness. The version here toys a bit with Itasca's, embellishing the gravy with sauteed mushrooms and shallots. A bit of parsley adds color, but you can skip such fanciness … maybe a scoop of green bean casserole instead? If there is no gravy left, you can stir some together in no time, following the method here. Then it's a simple matter of heating up and assembling.
I can hardly wait until the Friday after.
Open-face turkey sandwich
Prep: 5 minutes
Makes: 1 sandwich
1 slice crusty country bread or 1 dinner roll, halved
Some leftover turkey, warmed
Cranberry sauce or relish
Turkey gravy, warmed (or make our turkey mushroom gravy)
Fresh parsley sprigs
Place bread or split roll on a plate; top with turkey as you like, interspersing pieces or slices with cranberry sauce or relish. Pour a generous amount of gravy over all. Top with parsley. Enjoy hot, with a knife and fork.
Turkey mushroom gravy:
Heat 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil in a large skillet; add 2 finely chopped shallots. Season with a pinch of salt; cook, stirring occasionally, until shallots soften, 5 minutes. Add 8 ounces sliced mushrooms. Stir to coat; season with salt. Cook until mushrooms have given up their water and are browned, about 10 minutes. Transfer mushroom-shallot mixture to a bowl. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in the skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons flour, stirring to combine and prevent lumps; cook over low heat until golden brown. Add 2 cups hot turkey broth, stirring to blend; heat to a gentle boil to thicken. Stir in mushroom-shallot mixture and freshly ground pepper to taste; heat through. Taste for seasonings.

Review: Sony Vaio Duo 11 Ultrabook
Canny convertible computing - or too clever by half?
Agentless Backup is Not a Myth
The other day, a friend sent me a Picasa link to photos he'd taken at a recent vintage motorcycle show. It was a wide ranging display of classic engineering imagination put to work to power a rider on two wheels. Similarly, it's those variations on a theme that Windows 8 has spurred among mainstream computer makers, as they all have a stab at producing the quintessential convertible laptop. And much like the efforts of those early motorcycle pioneers, it seems that nobody's quite sure how you make a laptop and a tablet work together. After all, if they knew, they'd all be doing it the same way, surely?
Slide rules? Sony's Vaio Duo Ultrabook
Sony's take with the Vaio Duo 11 is to have a screen that elevates as you slide it from tablet mode to reveal its dinky keyboard. There's no trackpad though, just an optical TrackPoint controller – think recent BlackBerrys – and a slither of buttons for left/centre/right clicks beneath the spacebar. Given the display is a touchscreen, Sony almost gets away with it, but having full HD 1920 x 1080 on an 11.6-inch screen demands some pretty accurate poking at times, so for good measure, a stylus is included too. Is this helpful or distracting? I'll get back to you on that.
The Sony Vaio Duo has three CPU options: a 1.9GHz Intel Core i3-3227U base model, a 1.7GHz Core i5-3317U (can boost to 2.6GHz) and a 1.9GHz Core i7-3517U (can boost to 3GHz) with 128GB, 256GB or even 512GB SSD storage, and 2GB, 4GB or 8GB of Ram. All systems rely on the Intel HD 4000 processor-integrated GPU. This combination of hi-def meets pointy tech gives the impression that Sony's Vaio Duo has one foot in the future and another rooted in the past. You even get a VGA port on the side, which gives some clues as to who is expected to buy it.
Unlike an ARM tablet, the Intel CPU needs vents
Is this the new exec must-have machine that can knock out a presentation on the boardroom projector and slum it as a slate in the coffee shop too? Sony must hope so, and as it's also equipped with two USB 3.0 ports, HDMI and an SD/Memory Stick slot, it can easily accommodate peripherals back at the office if the point and flick fiddle factor proves wearing. Oh, and what's this round the back? Gigabit Ethernet. Now you're talking.
Like all these convertibles, the power button is along the edge, which is all very well in tablet mode, but a bit of a grope when waking it up from sleep as a laptop. A design compromise shows itself early on when typing, as you realise that the screen angle is fixed. Again, Sony reminisces by including flip out feet that, like keyboards from a bygone era, raise the back of the machine altering the tilt of the keys and screen at the same time.
Adding feet to the base seems a bit of an afterthought
Being an 11.6-inch machine, the keyboard is a little cramped along its length, although there is a decent amount of space between the chiclet keys, which sport an auto sensing backlight. What you perhaps won't have bargained for is that the keyboard is also cramped from front to back, or at least it feels that way as there are no palm rests here. The space that would normally exist for such has been taken up by the deckchair prop stand arrangement keeping the screen upright.
As with all condensed keyboard configurations, spend any time on them and you get used to the quirks. The Vaio Duo 11's keys are comfortable enough, if a little on the wobbly side, but I spent a day typing solidly on this machine and, repeatedly, hit the arrow keys instead of the right shift key. I was tempted to plug in a mouse too, but persevered with the TrackPoint, frequently giving in and using the touchscreen instead – it's what it's there for, after all.
There's no trackpad so you've choices of stylus, TrackPoint and touchscreen, of course
The main problem for me was highlighting text to cut and paste in WordPad – your finger gets in the way for a start which makes it difficult to be specific. Beyond a click and TrackPoint trace, Sony's aid for its incumbent OS choice is to use its VGP-STD1 stylus – it even has left and right click controls, but this wireless device seems to have a mind of its own. There is some proximity sensing going on here, much like on the Samsung Galaxy Note, so you don't have to press on the screen for some tasks as you hover above with a pinpoint cursor, but it was so wayward when navigating the desktop, it was unuseable.
Next page: Pen pushing
silly question
Q: Why is everyone "ohhh I loose the stylus" when they are prefectly capabel of keeping track of ballpoint pens?
Oh come on, we all know the reason for this
The Law of retaining useless items:
The probability of losing an item is inversely proportional to the items cost or utility.
So biros - never lose, Mont Blanc pens and pricy styli last about 30 seconds before being lost
Crappy-phone is never lost, super-feature-phone lasts less than a week.
Astroturf much?
So to add to "you're holding it wrong" we now have "you booked the wrong seat"?
It's not that no-one loses ballpoints, it's that no one cares when they lose a 20p ballpoint. A 50 quid stylus is, unsurprisingly, a little different.
And yes, people do lounge around and watch stuff on tablets. In my experience it's the main things they're used for.

A Third of Ministers to be Women Under Cameron?
I have no problem with the party wanting to increase the number of female frontbenchers, but I would indeed draw the line at a quota. We are talking about the government of this country, after all. The appointment of Ministers is not something to be played with by the politically correct. It's important that the most talented people in the parliamentary party are appointed Ministers, regardless of their gender or ethnicity. While most of us can see the merits of a priority list for candidates, I think we'd draw the line at the same system for the appointment of Ministers.
Any while we're on the subject, if there was a serious commitment to promoting talented women, why isn't Julie Kirkbride on the front bench?

I think it's a great idea - just look at the wealth of talent Labour have benefitted from by promoting women:
Harriet Harman, Patricia Hewitt, Hazel Blears, Jacqui Smith, Margaret Beckett, Dawn Primarolo, Margaret Hodge, Estelle Morris, Angela Eagle
Oh, hang on... - March 02, 2008 2:31 pm
A colleague of mine, who is closely related to Ms Kirkbride, informed me some years back that, in his judgement, she's two stops on from Upton Park. Perhaps young David's reached the same conclusion...
- March 02, 2008 2:33 pm
Read the article Iain. It uses the words 'aspiration' and 'vows', which in this context can't both be right. The article doesn't report Cameron's actual words.
The fact the article feels it necessary to say that it would "nonetheless" be embarrassing if he failed to meet the target suggests that in fact it is a mere aspiration, a hope that the next election would bring enough women of enough talent to be seriously represented at the top, which is not unreasonable.
The overall report however attempts to suggests it's a vow in the quota sense, which to me points to some license on the part of the writers, ostensibly to provoke the result as seen here and on other blogs.
Read the words, Iain, look behind the headlines, don't jump to the tune of the press. - March 02, 2008 2:41 pm

David, I made the self same point in the opening para of my piece!

Why is sex the only denominator of tokenism ? Why not profession ? Or the type of school you went to or if your a member of Kensington and Chelsea association ?
We could reform the house of lords as the house of tokenism perhaps. Maybe that's good electioneering.
But at some point talent, vision and leadership are needed for government. - March 02, 2008 3:00 pm
Iain, do you have David Cameron's email address?? I must email him to ask him to ensure he has a fixed percentage of his cabinet are left-handed, blind window cleaners from the Isle of Wight.
To be honest I DONT care who he puts in his cabinet, so long as they are good at their job. Not much to ask is it? - March 02, 2008 3:35 pm

Just when I thought Camoron couldn't get any more stupid, he manages to plumb new depths of stupidity.
Most MPs are men so rather than drawing on a large pool of MPs to get the best ministers, he's going to place an arbitrary quota on the number of women MPs so we can look forward to a second-rate cabinet of women MPs who've got the job to make up the numbers. - March 02, 2008 4:39 pm
"I have no problem with the party wanting to increase the number of female frontbenchers, but I would indeed draw the line at a quota."
In effect, one entails the other.
If you're specifically looking to increase the number of female frontbenchers, then you are bringing in a consideration other than ability to do the job: which is what quotas are all about, isn't it? - March 02, 2008 4:57 pm
Iain writes: While most of us can see the merits of a priority list for candidates,...
Wrong. Never mind "merits" in the plural, I do not see a single merit in this dingbat, lefty, socialist, "inclusive" notion. Cameron doesn't understand who his potential voters are.
If he thinks women want more women in government, he is a moonbat who should never have been allowed out of the bat cave. So who is jumping up and down asking for more women in Parliament, given that it's not women? Men?
This is not how a Margaret Thatcher emerges. One more dud from Cameron. - March 02, 2008 5:00 pm
its often said that if we had quotas for women MPs we wouldnt get the best politicians. Given how ordinary many (though not all) are why not make it 50:50? it might at least encourage some younger women to get involved in politics and the cons.
what i'd like to know is how many MPs got involved early in their adult life whether as union officials or via student politics. these are the ones I worry about.
wouldnt it be great if more MPs stood for election after half a life of doing something else possibly even bringing up a family - March 02, 2008 5:02 pm
5:02 - "Given how ordinary many (though not all) are why not make it 50:50?"
Why? - March 02, 2008 5:07 pm
MPs dont have to be men or even talented - they just need to be representative of the electorate. It is this outdated emphasis on local representatives that is a problem. Why not reduce the number of electorates by 80% and increase the number of MPs elected from each one by a similar (or indeed lower%) amount.
the mother of parliaments needs more mothers. - March 02, 2008 5:15 pm
Paging David Cameron! Paging Mr David Cameron! I have a better idea! Let's make up to women for all the years they weren't participants in Parliament. We should take it right back to before the years when women first got the vote! Two hundred years at least!
To make "reparations", why not have ALL women lists? For the next decade or 20 years until the "reparations" have cleared the stain on the character of Parliament, we should have ALL-WOMEN MPs! No men allowed to run!!
This is no more mind-bogglingly ridiculous than David Cameron's latest foray into the fields of far-left collectivist political correctness! - March 02, 2008 5:20 pm
Verity - as usual maybe you are the Moonbat - if you surveyed the female populace of the UK and asked them if they thought more women MPs was a good idea I would put good money on them saying yes.
Referencing Margaret Thatcher is a red (maybe blue) herring. She was clearly an extraordinary politician. Both in the UK and globally. Other MPs arent a failure because they dont become PM or make it onto the front bench. - March 02, 2008 5:25 pm
because Verity I want our elected democracy to represent the people they, errm, represent. I dont care if they are the sharpest intellectuals in the parliamentary woodpile. It is good if some of them have the ambition and wherewithall to climb the Westminster ladder. We need leaders for sure. Would just prefer the remainder werent failed half-rate numptys from labour union or Oxford Union politics.
- March 02, 2008 5:35 pm
Also, there are way too many MPs in Parliament anyway.
In the US, they have 435 Representatives and 100 Senators. Five hundred and thirty-five people to legislate for the vastness that is the United States and a population of 302m.
There are 659 MPs in the British Parliament, a tiny set of islands that would fit into the state of Texas alone over three times.
This is bloody absurd. Britain is way, way, way over-governed. (And women are bossier than men. What a nightmare!) - March 02, 2008 5:37 pm
5:25 - and I would put money on women saying no, they don't want more women in Parliament.
5:35 writes with stunning lack of a tether to reality: "because Verity I want our elected democracy to represent the people they, errm, represent."
OK. Then we "need" more red-headed women MPs. In today's Britain, we "need" more seriously fat MPs. We "need" all black shortlists. Muslims are currently, as the lefty council phrase goes "underrepresented", so how about an "all-muslim" lists?
And what about blondes, then? And this would be especially tricky and fiddly and therefore beloved of politicians, because women change their hair colour, so one woman who was elected froma red-head shortlist would have to be retired halfway through the Parliament if enough women registered that they had switched to blonde.
This is the only way, 5:35, "our elected democracy [will] represent the people they, errm, represent."
Also, what about mothers and fathers? They should be represented by a proportionate number of mothers and fathers, although again, this would have to stay fluid as people's families grow. An MP who was the parent of an only child would not be suitable to represent a family with four children in it.
I've seen some daft ideas emerging from David Cameron's head (the first being that the British people would be unaccountably impressed with a photo of him standing, in a brand new parka, on an ice floe in Norway accompanied by two puzzled looking huskies) and he is absolutely the wrong person to be leading the Conservatives. - March 02, 2008 5:50 pm
chocky intifada
dont know bout you but last time I looked women were 50 odd % of the population. Many of them have a different view on things than men do. We live in a society not an intellectual paradise. Many of us had 1 mum as as well as 1 dad. I am sure redheads have a unique take on life as well but I doubt it is the same as women do. I doubt they feel the need for equal represenatation in parliament.
Evening up the number of women in parliament, as opposed to redheads, strikes me as a seriously good and doable thing in the early stages of the 21st century.
Asking why our parliament would be much improved by approximately 50% women just seems perverse. - March 02, 2008 6:15 pm
If you want the Tories to be in power again (unlikely at the moment) then DC has to modernise - like it or not.
Of course there should be more women ministers - that's obvious. - March 02, 2008 6:17 pm
I'm a fan of Cameron, but he has made two mistakes in the last few days.
He shouldn't have rebuked Lord Mancroft over the remarks about nurses. Mancroft's experience replicates mine and many others'.
He shouldn't even think of quotas for women cabinet ministers. Surely that grisly bunch of women opposite him in the commons should be enough to put him off the idea? - March 02, 2008 6:19 pm
"Also, what about mothers and fathers? They should be represented by a proportionate number of mothers and fathers, although again"
I said this - I would like more MPs who had already spent their life bringing up their families - March 02, 2008 6:19 pm
Of course the proposal is loopy and discriminates against men.
Trouble is, the constituency for promotion on merit is shrinking, while the constituency for discrimination on the basis of gender is increasing. To put things bluntly, if you promise to discriminate in government in favor of women (and against men), you'll gain more votes of women than you lose votes of men.
Cameron's proposal reflects that (sad) reality. - March 02, 2008 6:38 pm

Bedhopper is right 6.19pm
The NHS should not be treated as an organisation which should not be criticised. Cameron does rather rush in where fools fear to tread.
If it was that good Lords experience it must be the truth. Cameron would be far better saying he will call for a Royal Commission into Health Care and Health Provision. So that a new and better strategy can be adopted within this country. Else we shall be pouring millions more every year into the bottomless pit called the NHS. - March 02, 2008 6:39 pm
Well, that is an advantage of quotas that I hadn't thought of. A mass walk-out of a certain type of member might do wonders for the Conservative Party.
Seriously, it is stupid to discard so much talent because it comes packed in a body of the wrong shape or the wrong colour. Those MPs who are not pale stale males have by definition got something extra going for them, to beat the obstacles stacked against them. So we might expect them to be overrepresented on the front benches compared with their proportion of the party's MPs.
Why does having a reasonable number of women in Parliament matter? Fawcett has explained. - March 02, 2008 6:42 pm
I'm surprised that you think Julie Kirkbride should be promoted after she demonstrated shocking political judgement in her backing of the discredited doctor involved in the MMR fiasco a few years ago, causing thousands of parents such panic that they refused to immunise their children. The best and safest place for her is to remain on the back benches.
- March 02, 2008 6:50 pm
I ask again - is there anyone on this website who thinks our parliament would be worse off with more women MPs? I know its a difficult question - the implication that we should elect MPs purely on the basis of their sex seems wrong.
We used to elect MPs on the basis of their personal wealth believing that only the landed Oxbridge educated gentry could intelligently represent their "dumb" constituents.
Well, Yes, Yes, Yes. And where is the proof they couldn't?
More women MPs. Defo. - March 02, 2008 6:52 pm

- March 02, 2008 7:27 pm
Bruce and others, you are wrong when you say that women candidates will increase the female vote. Women do not want other women in charge of them.
Women in power tend to be more bossy and interfering than men in power. Look at Fat Harriet Harman, for example - a busybody. Patricia Hewitt - a busybody. Ruth Kelly - a busybody. Tessa Jowell - a busybody. All the rest of those fat nonentities whose names I can't remember ...interferers every single one of them. Hillary Clinton, for another. Nancy Pelosi. Busy, busy, busy, busy with other people's lives.
David Cameron cannot relate to normal people. He tries to imagine what normal people want, but he has come in contact with so few of us that he just has to go with his imagination. - March 02, 2008 7:28 pm
I said elsewhere that 'moonbat' is a word invented by Samizdata owner Perry de Havilland around three or four years ago and it has taken its place in the language. It's a great word because it can be embellished as required. For example, one can refer to a "shrieking moonbat" to describe socialist women. A "greedy moonbat" for top Labour women and Jack Straw. Etc.
BTW - Again, women don't like being bossed about by other women and the idea of forcing more women cabinet members down the electorate's throat may backfire. I hope so. If David Cameron is going to keep copying the Labourites, people might as well vote Labour. - March 02, 2008 7:52 pm
eh Verity - this week Radio 4 is doing a season on Euripides. Go and have a listen my love. He was an early champion of women. Understood the awful position that they often found themselves in.
- March 02, 2008 8:10 pm
nobody likes being bossed around Verity, by men or women. thanks for the etymology of "moonbat". Always seemed to apply to you anyway defo. And your point is?
defo appreciate your view that you dont represent the standard female viewpoint. no probs. doesnt mean there isnt a good point to be made for 50:50 female representation in parliament.
you miss my point. if there are going to be idiots in parliament then I want 50% of them to be women. - March 02, 2008 8:26 pm
yeah but you are the Moonbat here Verity. By your own definition.
- March 02, 2008 8:41 pm
Astro-Turf Lawnmower - Thanks for your list. I'd forgotten Margaret Beckett! And Dim Prawn!

Equal pay for equal work is correct but the believe that a lack of women in desirable positions is due to discrimination by men has reached the level of a religious belief. By this I mean it is presented as a revealed truth, such as the immaculate conception, and that it is categorically not "consistent with the statistical analysis of empirical data". Peter Wood's Diversity: The Invention of a Concept details how it arose. Though there is a great deal of research on the topic in academic journals, as far as I am aware not one Westminister politician has addressed it. For example of the research see Professor Timothy Bates' current research Abstract ... Males have only a marginal advantage in mean levels of [IQ] but substantially greater variance. Among the top 2% ... there were almost twice as many males as females. These differences could provide a partial basis for sex differences in intellectual eminence. I suggest to you that within the contractually mandated policy of Diversity, quoting this would be an example of "the truth is no defence". Do the politicians of Norway, who mandate that 40% of top jobs be held by women, know of this research? Would they want to?
- March 03, 2008 7:37 am
"Do the politicians of Norway, who mandate that 40% of top jobs be held by women, know of this research? Would they want to?"
I doubt it. Any scientist who still thinks that it is useful to treat intelligence as a single quality has a deficit thereof. Some academic psychologist [Gardiner?] got closer to the mark in talking in terms of intelligences, plural. Is an architect more intelligent than a playwright? It's a non-question.
Should there be more women in Parliament? Another non-question. I don't care if it's a male apparatchik or a female apparatchik. If it catches no mice, it's a useless apparatchik. (Teng Xiao Ping, almost)
Meaning: the career structure for an aspiring Parliamentarian virtually guarantees uselessness. Female MPs nevertheless seem to be the more risible half of the species, fortuitously or not. - March 03, 2008 8:43 am
It's a great idea.
The more the lib/lab/cons go off into their own little worlds of delusion the less people will vote and the quicker we get to revenge time. Go for it girls! - March 03, 2008 10:34 am
10:35 - Someone wrote over on The Speccie's Coffee House (I can't find it again) of the reason he will not be voting for Cameron, and actually, I realised that he spoke for me, too.
Paraphrasing him, the lefties like Ken Clarke, Chris Patten et Cie in the Tory party got rid of William Hague, Iain Duncan Smith and Michael Howard (although Howard really resigned off his own bat). At last, they have one of their own, a socialist in all but name - David Cameron. The poster in The Coffee House does not want Dave to triumph, because it will be a triumph for the left, who will crow, "See? We were always seen as 'the nasty party' [so-called, by them] and when we get a nice, soft, left-leaning Tory leader, he can lead us to victory."
That would be the end of the Conservative Party and its promotion of sound conservative values.
David Cameron has to lose this next election. He is no better than Gordon Brown. Better we beat Cameron back and endure Gordon Brown for however many more years, until the Tories can get behind a real Tory. Dave is a socialist. If he wins, it's the end of the Conservatives and we can all sit in peace circles in the Swedish mode.
We need someone like Patrick Mercer. Someone sure of himself who understands what Conservatism stands for. I'm sure there are others, equally sure-footed, who I don't know about.
David Cameron is not it, and he will spell the death of the party unless removed. - March 03, 2008 3:28 pm

During the MeeGo Conference I gave a presentation on multi-point-touch support on MeeGo (overview and video slides). As mentioned during that presentation, to add multi-point-touch to Qt applications running on top of MeeGo 1.1 requires a few changes.
The feature in MeeGo's bugzilla which is tracking the status of inclusion can be found here.
As you will find in the comments on that bug, since the MeeGo Conference last year, work has continued to move forward. The components that need to be changed in current (as of early January 2011) MeeGo systems are:
New components:
Remove: NOTE: If you had previously install the multipointtouchplugin, you need to remove it via one of these methods:
zypper remove multipointtouchplugin
rm /usr/lib/qt4/plugins/libmultipointtouchplugin.so
If you do not remove that plugin, touch will not work correctly with the XInput2.0 enabled version of Qt.
To get the above, you can add my home project:
cd /etc/zypp/repos.d sudo wget http://download.meego.com/live/home:/jketreno/Trunk/home:jketreno.repo sudo sed -i -e 's,^gpg,#gpg,g' home:jketreno.repo zypper refresh
Next, force a re-installation of the packages provided from my home project:
zypper install -f --from=home_jketreno mtdev xf86-input-mtev
and then also force update these packages for Qt from my home project:
zypper install -f --from=home_jketreno \ libqtcore4 libqtdbus4 libqtdeclarative4 libqtdeclarative4-folderlistmodel \ libqtdeclarative4-gestures libqtdeclarative4-particles libqtdesigner4 \ libqtgui4 libqthelp4 libqtnetwork4 libqtopengl4 libqtscript4 \ libqtscripttools4 libqtsql4 libqtsql4-sqlite libqtsvg4 libqttest4 libqtxml4 \ libqtxmlpatterns4 qt-demos qt-qmake qt-qmlviewer
On my system I only install libqtgui4, but I don't really know which other Qt packages may depend on the internal X11 changes my patches made, so the above installs all of the Qt packages. If you want to try the minimal set, you can run this:
zypper install -f --from=home_jketreno libqtgui4
During the forced installation it will prompt you to switch to the versions of the various packages provided from the above repository, and may indicate the packages are downgrades (I haven't built Qt in my home project as many times as the version of Qt in Trunk.) Accept the changes, and reboot.
Prior to having patches to Qt to add XInput2.0 support, applications had to load a plugin that would connect to the X event queue and process the XInput2.0 events. That is no longer necessary and applications will now just work.
For gestures, you should use the qml-gesturearea project from qt-labs to add multi-point touch gestures to your QML applications.
As Frederik Gladhorn indicated during his talk at the MeeGo Conference in Dublin, the folks over at Qt have been working on an improved QML GestureArea component.
You can pull and play with what they're cooking as follows:
git clone git://gitorious.org/qt-labs/qml-gesturearea.git git clone git://gitorious.org/qt-labs/qml-gestures-examples.git
If you are building qml-gesturearea with a version of Qt prior to 4.7.1, you may need to patch it to get it to build:
cd qml-gesturearea sed -i -e 's,q->timeout(),700,g' qdeclarativegesturerecognizers.cpp qmake make && sudo make install
Qt is configured to listen to pointer (mouse) events the first core pointer provided by X. Additional core pointers are ignored. Touch events are received from any touch device bound to the first core pointer, as well as any touch devices which are floating (not bound to any core pointer)
If you do nothing, X will default to binding an input device to the first Core Pointer. This means that the touch screen will default to control the cursor --as you move your finger around, mouse events will be generated, the cursor will move, etc.
You can use the xinput utility to "float" the touch device. On the Lenovo S10, running 'xinput list' shows something like the following:
⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)] ⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ Cando Corporation Cando 10.1 Multi Touch Panel with Controller id=13 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad id=16 [slave pointer (2)] ...
Looking at the above, you can see the touch device (Cando Corporation...) is device id 13. To float that input device, run:
xinput float 13
NOTE: If you don't have xinput, you can install it on MeeGo by running:
zypper install xorg-x11-utils-xinput
Once you float the input device, it will no longer move the mouse pointer. To reattach it, run:
xinput reattach 13 2
'2' is the device ID for the 'Virtual core pointer' you are reattaching the device to.
To keep X from connecting a device to the core pointer when starting the system, you can add:
Option "SendCoreEvents" "false"
to the InputClass section for the device, for example you can place the following in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d as 60-cando.conf:
Section "InputClass" Identifier "Cando Multi Touch Panel" MatchVendor "Cando" MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*" Driver "mtev" Option "SendCoreEvents" "false" EndSection
To perform the above steps on this wiki, a new MeeGo installation may need a few utilities and packages installed:
