GEM — a GUI for DOS(Box)
[ Wednesday, 2 July 2008, Raptou ]
We are already familiar with DOS, and its emulator DosBOX. The time has come to make DosBOX communicate in a more user-friendly way.
Among many advantages, DOS has one serious disadvantage — it is not user-friendly. This is especially true for novice computer users. Precise knowledge of commands and options is a must. They have to be typed in carefully with special attention paid to the spelling. In practice, users need to be constantly working with DOS to keep those skills at a good level. Early DOS programs were mainly text-based. Those programs were really rough, and standard keyboard input was the only graphics that appeared in them. It is worth mentioning that apart from standard symbols, which could be typed in on the keyboard, there were additional symbols available. One could obtain such a symbol by using the left alt key, and typing in its code. Those additional symbols were used to create simple graphical elements such as, frames and tables. The basic keyboard layout contained Latin characters only. Moreover, localization standards were non-existent at the time. It was up to the software developer to allow for language specific input, which in turn lead to proliferation of minor standards, and often caused problems with programs display. In Poland alone, nearly each institution developed its own encoding standard i.e., Latin2, Mazowia, CHS, Mazowia-modified etc. The situation has improved after the introduction of ANSI (i.e., ASCII augemented with additional symbols, of which each could be displayed in 16 colours).
After 10 years, DOS still relied solely on command line input, and hadn't changed much since the original CP/M system. Its development could not be called innovative, as it was limited bugfixes and addition of new commands. Graphical user interface, invented by Xerox and widely introduced by Apple, was not a commodity. Moreover, it is amazing how software developers stuck to the text-mode paradigm even when hardware allowed for sophisticated graphics. As mentioned earlier, this intimidated ordinary users. The 8bit GEOS (form Berkeley Softworks), inspired by the interface of Macintosh computers, was a notable exception.
Eventually graphical front-ends for DOS programs started to appear. Their appearance in some ways resembled that of painting programs (but one might notice that some elements became standard). Mouse, as a pointing device for PC computers, was not common, and it served as a helper device. Most of the program functionalities were still accessible without it. The key difference was that, the user did not have to memorize commands. He could simply point to them on the screen (using arrow keys or mouse as a pointer).
A graphical front-end is not the same thing as a graphical user interface (the latter is a coherent part of a given system). In graphical front-ends for DOS, clicking on an icon (it was called "pictogram" those days) simply evoked a DOS command with specific options. It was still DOS, but easier to use due to a nice graphical tool. As a side effect, the system slowed down. At nearly every action it had to do the following:
- pick a function,
- perform a DOS command (including options),
- perform a task in machine code (in a graphical user interface, each click is translated to machine code at a glance, so it is much faster).
At the time many operating systems with a graphical user interface, and graphical front-ends for operating systems, appeared (i.e., Mac OS, GEOS, TOS, Workbench). This process coincided with the introduction of PC computers.
At the same time GEM was released. It was not an operating system, but graphical front-end for DOS. There were others, like WinDOS, Microsoft DosShell, but it was GEM that gained popularity. It had the appearance of the system used in Atari ST. TOS (Tramiel Operating System or The Operating System) is exactly an operating system with GEM as user's interface.
GEM was not the best or the prettiest graphical front-end for DOS, but it was a compromise between ease of use and speed. It is worth mentioning that DOS and GEM are still developed by Open Source community. They are a great combination, especially for those users who don't remember the times, when you had to remember a whole book of commands to use a computer.
It is suprising that GEM, GEOS or DosShell (attached to MS DOS 6 and higher by default) never became popular in Poland. Instead people used Norton Commander and DOS Navigator. Those programs were harder to use and required good knowledge of DOS commands. Intuitively, Mac OS-like interfaces were the simplest to use (easy as drawing with a crayon on a piece of paper), yet it was Norton Commander that was the most popular front end for DOS (what is more, it was still in the text mode based).
GEM's development ended when Microsoft Windows 3 appeared on the market. Until then, it was the standard graphical user interface for the TOS operating system of Atari ST/TT/Falcon, and it was shipped with MS DOS, PC DOS, DR DOS, as an OEM add-on. It was brought back to life by a group of enthusiasts, and now it is developed under GNU licence (under the name OpenGEM). The main reason for great come back of GEM, was the need for a light and easy to use file manager for FreeDOS. FreeDOS appeared when Microsoft ended MS DOS development. FreeDOS is still developed, and its authors assure that it is 100% compatible with MS DOS 6.22.Unfortunately I cannot say that it is true. The reason for the incompatibility might come from the difference in handling UMB, EMS and XMS memory. Another reason might be that FreeDOS is very modern (as for DOS systems). It supports FAT32, long files names, UMDA disk technology and USB devices.
GEM (and GEOS) work perfectly on DosBOX. This combination makes up a quite user friendly operating system (at least more friendly than DOS with Norton Commander). It allows to use a mouse to interact with the system, just like in other modern operating systems such as, Linux or Windows. Users knowing DOS only from fairy tales may now configure their own DOS under DosBOX, or try an excellent FreeDOS with GEM using Qemu emulator, maybe even use it a separate partition on hard disc.
GEM on Mac OS X (Intel)
For Mac OS X users I've prepared a DMG package. The package contains DosBOX emulator and a slightly modified OpenGem5 (all preconfigured). Feel free to copy your own DOS games and programs to the "c" directory. Our comfortable emulator with DOS and mouse support is ready.
The package might be download from here.
Notice that this is not a package for PowerPC Macs. To run Gem4Mac on PowerPC machines your should use the PowerPC DosBOX file instead of the file included in the downloaded DMG package.
GEM on MS Windows
For MS Windows users I've prepared a ZIP archive. The archive contains DosBOX and a slightly modified OpenGem5 (all preconfigured).
Just download the archive, unzip it and run start.bat file. The archive can be downloaded from here.
GEM on Linux
- Install DosBOX (if it is possible choose the one in your system's repository).
- Download OpenGem (alternative source) and extract it.
- Copy
dosbox.conffrom opengem-linux to your DosBOX directory (typically /home/user/).
- Copy (or move)
opengem-linuxto the place you like (e.g. /home/user/).
- Modify
Autoexecsection of the
dosbox.conffile (not in opengem-linux!).
In our example this section will look something like this:
# Lines in this section will be
# run at startup.
mount c /home/user/opengem-linux/c
set blaster=a220 i5 d1 t4
Now you can enjoy DOS in graphical mode. You should place all DOS programs to the directory acting as C drive for DOS (in our example it is /home/user/opengem-linux/c.
Have fun!

Barbecued Pork Chops
psobek Posted: 11/10/08
teach4health Posted: 10/24/09
This is our "go-to" recipe for pork chops and my husband's favorite. I double the sauce so as to have plenty for dipping.
kdesart Posted: 12/02/08
great for chicken too.
cooklaura Posted: 10/21/09
Easy and delicious. One of my go-to pork chop recipes. Tonight I am serving it with mashed butternut squash and sauteed spinach.
mommy2kh Posted: 01/01/09
We have fixed this for several years now and it is our go-to pork chop recipe. It is quick, easy and always delicious.
smellgar Posted: 11/01/09
This is my new "go-to" BBQ sauce recipe. It's super easy and tastes better than any of the expensive (or cheap!) store bought stuff I've tried in the past. I did my chops on the grill and they came out perfectly. This is a great recipe!
8stringfan Posted: 08/07/10
Three stars seems a bit high, but in all honesty, it was a good recipe. However (despite the massive amounts of five star reviews on here) I wouldn't say it was anything other than just an above-average barbecue recipe. I will give the recipe credit for making a good dish out of so few ingredients, but at the end of the day, this was just a basic barbecued pork chop, with a sauce that was good-but-nothing-special. This recipe works great as a quick, easy, cheap way to grill some pork chops and would be especially good for folks who don't like anything too bold or complex from their food. However, in terms of a meal that would be special or might impress dinner guests or a date, this just doesn't offer very much.
ReneeCondo Posted: 07/01/09
Absolutely Amazing... cooked on the grill about 6 minutes on each side on the wrack above the grate.
pkbarn68 Posted: 10/11/10
This was easy to prepare and we all enjoyed it - just a little too salty. Next time I will cut back on the garlic salt. The sauce was ok.
ASchreck Posted: 03/06/10
I combined the BBQ sauce and spices and then marinated the pork overnight. Before I cooked it I removed the sauce and put it aside. I cooked the pork most of the way and then began basting with the sauce. My husband thought it was one of the best things that I ever cooked and I think the marinating made it even more tender and delicious.
sapk1999 Posted: 09/01/10
Fast and fabulous recipe. Even my toddler loved these chops!
ChefLeesher Posted: 07/06/12
This sauce could not be easier. I left out the thyme and used in conjunction with the Carolina Rub on this site.

3-2 to England
Three things England did right, and two things they did wrong
Three things England did well
Roy got his tactics absolutely spot on. Physical as the Swedish back line are, Andy Carroll was more than a match for them and he unsettled them all night. The substitution of Theo Walcott for the ineffectual James Milner was also a masterstroke, the Arsenal winger popping up with a goal and an assist to help England towards their first competitive victory over Sweden. It was almost as though he had some deep understanding of the Swedish psyche and knew their weaknesses exactly.
Reaction to going a goal down:
Superb. As Mellberg buried his second goal past Joe Hart, as a man, every England fan thought 'Oh no, not again'. (Admit it, you did) However, Roy made his move, England raised their heads, invoked Agincourt and stormed back to win the game and go second in their group. It was a comeback of Rocky Balboa proportions but written by an English scriptwriter.
Shackling Ibrahimovic:
The boy hardly had a sniff. The free kick and one chance that was closed down by Scott Parker (who else?) at that was near enough it. He looked fairly interested too, which makes the fact that he was kept so quiet all the more impressive. Lescott and Johnson seized him by the ponytail and didn't give him an inch all night. The perfect excuse to roll out the "your just a sh*t Andy Carroll" chant,
Two things England did poorly
Set piece defending:
Both goals tonight were conceded from free kicks and that is something England will have to combat. The marking for both goals was terrible and it isn't as if the aging beared giant known as Olaf Mellberg is unobtrusive. They got that side of their game all wrong and the likes of Terry, Lescott and Carroll, if he plays on Tuesday, will have to step up to the plate.
Keep the ball
Let's face it, Sweden have the quality and resilience of an Ikea wardrobe. At 1-0 England should have been pinging the ball across the pitch making the Swedes look like turnips. But Milner, Young and the front two in particular seemed incapable of holding on the ball. While Ibrahimovic guarded possession like a polar bear protecting its young (yes a female polar bear, male polar bears obviously eat their offspring) the men in white surrended faster than a Frenchman in a game of kiss chase. Come on boys, love the ball.
Was Ashley Young playing for England or sweeden as he gave the ball away so many times it was embarrassing. Somebody needs to have a not so quiet word in his shell like and let him know in no uncertain terms, what's what.
Milner was just as bad, doesn't have enough quality and never seems to hold onto the ball long enough and cannot tackle for toffee, utter useless.
Personally I dont care what any of you say !!!! Suggest most of you stop analyzing the matches too much and start enjoying them,I was in my local having a pint with a very full pub of England supporters and it was great to see them win no matter how they did it. A good time was had by all ?? so get off the teams back and start supporting them an live a bit !!
milner should do himself a favour and get injuryed and go home the bloke is rubbish we looked so much better after he went off it was like watching england of old when we wanted to play as a team and wanted to win walcott and wellbeck goals were amazing thats the sort of thing us england fans want to see. let hope they can build on this now.
I will not have negative thoughts!
I am an Englishman and think all teams English (whatever sport) are top boys.
I can`t tolerate moaners.
I only want England to win.........everything and everytime.
We have our ups and downs......no problem.....we aren`t perfect.
All I ask is for all Englishmen to get behind their team and ,win or lose,support and shout for them.
Just be positive!
Just think Agincourt!
Nobody loves us and we don`t care!
(Thanks to Millwall for that remark.....taken from a flag they flew in Europe one time and just about sums up the rest of the planet`s hatred of the English!)
Being a proud Scot you may expect me to come out and say that England were lucky or some such thing. I am not however one of those Scottish people who want England to lose - On the contrary I like to see them win - especially against Germany !
However - a word of caution - please dont get carried away like the guy who wrote the article above ( I am assuming he had his tongue firmly in his cheek? ). You England fans always go overboard with the expectation levels and whip yourselves into a frenzy - Do your boys a favour and keep it low key - If England keep playing well they really could get stronger with each game and make a real (and overdue) impact. Sincerely - all the best to the England Team.
It was exciting but I would think we need to beat Ukraine and avoid Spain in the next round if we get there.
Roy deserves huge credit for his tactical nous. He doesn't have a lot of world class players at his disposal but he uses what he has brilliantly. He needs cover for Terry who lacks pace.
i think every one shouldnt say whos rubbish and shouldnt be on the pitch yes it was typical england good then bad some players wernt great, but we got the win lets get behind them instead of knocking them down all the time , well done theo we needed that spark and a great pluss for the next game rooneys back lets be honest hes going to gunning for it! lets be proud and aim for at least the quartes ,
c'mon england bring some pride back to our name!

The centre of midfield and defence looked very tired in the second half and contributed to Sweden's come back. John Terry should either not play or not go up for attacking set plays, he can't get back anymore, he can hardly run. Gerrards legs went and Parker was feeling it as well, but what a master stroke to bring Walcott on and must start against the pacier Ukraine.
I'm thinking a few players will get rested against Ukraine with Rooney in for Welbeck who has looked amazing. Walcott and Chamberlain on the wings with gerrard mybe being rested for the game.
Congratulations England, the hard way everytime but you done it, Well done!

It's pretty obvious that this is all about the ad dollars. But they only get those dollars because we all go online to find news and information.
Eyetrack studies have shown us that many more people look at and click on organic search results than ads or sponsored links. So what would this merger mean in term of a search experience, organic results and news content?
comScore Media Metrix latest figures show Google now controls nearly 60% of the U.S. search market, and has been widening its lead, despite concerted efforts by both second-place Yahoo and third-place Microsoft. By combining, Microsoft and Yahoo would have close to 30% of the U.S. search market.
Speaking at the announcement early this morning Ray Ozzie, Chief Software Architect at MS, said "Social platform will become a new entry point," and called Yahoo pioneers in this field. "We can further accelerate the transformation to a more social web."
Sounds promising. Perhaps Yahoo's innovative thinking and social media smarts combined with Microsoft's deep pockets might give us a better search experience in the long run.
In terms of news search Yahoo is top of the list with over 30 million readers and Google is only at at #7 with just under 10 million. (Could this have been one factor in Google's decision to feature news on their web SERP's?)
How this merger will affect our organic search experience and the online news audience remains to be seen. Since they want the ad dollars they will have to draw the users and to do that they need to up their game and improve the organic search function.

SHEBOYGAN, WI (WHBL) - The latest numbers for unemployment in our area was a mix of good and not so good news.
The state Department of Workforce Development said Thursday seasonally adjusted employment in the Sheboygan metro area grew by 500 last month. However, that did not change the unemployment rate in the Sheboygan area, as it stayed at 6.4 percent. For all of Sheboygan County, November's unemployment rate rose one-tenth of a percent to 5.2.
Across Wisconsin, most counties saw their unemployment rate increase last month. For the state as a whole, the rate dropped two-tenths to 6.3, and preliminary numbers showed a seasonally adjusted growth of 3,600 jobs.

'We have the technology to help make our lives healthier and longer'
Watch Bump Watch #LiveOnKMTR Wednesdays at 6:30 a.m.
SPRINGFIELD, Ore. - Some of the most important decisions you make for your children has to do with their health.
How do you know you're making the right choices?
That question is going to be answered very differently in every family.
Oregon has one of the lowest vaccination rates in the country.
But vaccines are important for your growing child, according to Dr. Pilar Bradshaw.
"Vaccines work," said Dr. Pilar Bradshaw. "They decrease the risk of dying or being disabled or very injured by serious illnesses."
Bradshaw said if parents continue to not vaccinate their children, it's putting both the child and those who receive immunizations at risk.
"There's this thing called herd immunity, and in the U.S. if we aren't careful, we will lose that," she said. "Herd immunity is this idea that if you vaccinate most of the population, the few people, the stragglers who choose not to be vaccinated will be protected because they are surrounded by a sea of people who are less likely to carry the disease."
Bradshaw said the trouble comes along when too many people opt out of vaccinations.
"Vaccines are not 100 percent effective every single time, so the more you're exposed as a vaccinated person to the disease, then the higher your risk even though you did the right thing," Bradshaw said.
Bradshaw said vaccination is the right and safe thing to do for your kids. She said the U.S. is the slowest to pick up new vaccines, meaning they've been through many years of testing.
"Now we have the technology to help make our lives healthier and longer," she said. "Why wouldn't we take it?"
Bradshaw said the best thing parents can do is get the vaccinations. If you have questions or concerns, talk them over with your doctor.
For more information about vaccinations, visit the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website.

Fujifilm FinePix F550EXR review
Review Date : Tue, 17 May 2011
Author : Phil Hall
- Sample Photos: Fujifilm FinePix F550EXR review sample images gallery
The FinePix F550EXR is the latest generation of advanced compact camera from Fujifilm. With a newly developed 16MP EXR CMOS sensor and 15x optical zoom with RAW shooting capability, it promises a lot. Read our Fujifilm FinePix F550EXR review...
|Sleek design, 15x optical zoom from 24-360mm, 8fps at full resolution, fast AF for a compact.
|While good, image quality hasn't improved from the F300EXR. Slow Raw write times.
The FinePix F550EXR is the latest in a long line of advanced compact cameras from Fujifilm, aimed at those looking for a feature-packed and versatile compact camera.
Fujifilm FinePix F550EXR review - Features
The FinePix F550EXR is an update to the F300EXR, with one of the most notable changes being the sensor. Out goes the 12MP Super CCD EXR chip to be replaced by a 16MP EXR CMOS sensor. It remains physically the same size, at 1/2", but they've squeezed another 4 million pixels onto the surface area. The sensor also utilises back-side illuminated (BSI) technology for more effective light collection. The EXR technology used on the F550EXR has evolved from previous incarnations based around a Super CCD structure to work with a CMOS pixel array, but the philosophy remains the same, with the sensor's performance optimized for either maximum resolution, low-light performance or dynamic range.
The optical zoom range offers an incredibly broad range for a compact camera of this size, running from 24-360mm - the wide-angle coverage is excellent for those wanting to cram loads into the frame, while the long end gives you plenty of scope to get in close to your subjects. The Fujinon lens is a Double Sliding Structured Lens, which has allowed the large focal range to fit neatly inside the slim body. The FinePix F550EXR also features a CMOS Shift mechanism to reduce camera shake - necessary at the long end of the zoom range. The ISO range runs from 100-3200, but can be expanded to 6400 at 8MP and 12,800 at a reduced resolution of 4MP.
While the FinePix F550EXR utilized a hybrid AF system that used Phase Detect technology for improved AF acquirement speed (just like a DSLR does), the F550EXR uses a more common contrast-detect system, though Fujifilm claim that the speed is virtually identical. The F550EXR can also shoot at 8fps (frames per second) at full resolution, or 11fps at a reduced 8MP.
Along with a dedicated EXR mode (you can choose between the three EXR modes as well as an Auto mode), there's Program, Aperture priority, Shutter priority and full manual for more creative control. On top of that, there's an Auto mode, Advanced (with the choice of either 360 degree panorama, Pro Focus or Pro Low-light) and 18 scene modes. As well as shooting in JPEG, the FinePix F550EXR can also shoot in Raw as well, while videos can also be captured in 1080p at 30fps and shot in H.264 format.
There's a 3in rear screen with a resolution of 460K-dots, while there's also a built-in GPS unit to tag the location where images were shot - either latitude and longitude or Place of Interest.

Yesterday, KANYE WEST nearly attacked a photog in pure rage after banging his head on the metal pole of a street sign while walking around L.A. with KIM KARDASHIAN.
And it was all caught on video!
Known for his awards show outbursts, rage-filled stage rants, and daily temper tantrums, Kanye West has cultivated a reputation for being one of Hollywood's biggest douchebags… and although he seems to have mellowed out some over the past few months, he displayed some of his trademark rage yesterday after banging his head on a street sign.
The rapper was walking down a street with girlfriend Kim—on their way to have lunch at a Beverly Hills restaurant—with his head down due to all the paparazzi swarming them, when he accidentally walked headfirst into a street sign.
(Watch the video HERE)
It seemed that Kanye was going to freak out then, but he only told the photogs to "stop taking f**king photos," then calmly walked into the restaurant with Kim.
Minutes later, however, the hot-tempered rapper rushed out of the restaurant—alone this time—and rushed at a photographer… as if to attack him.
While he advanced towards the man, Kanye yelled:
"Don't take a f**king 'nother photo man! All you motherf**kers stop it!"

The McIntosh apple came to Vermont from Ontario, Canada, where it had been discovered among some seedling apple trees by John McIntosh in 1796. John was the son of Alexander McIntosh, an immigrant from Scotland. About 1835 John began propagating apple trees by a technique called grafting. John's son, Allan, began selling young trees in Ontario and neighboring New York and Vermont.
Vermont farmers soon found that McIntosh apples produced a delightful flavor and quality. By the early 1900s McIntosh was a leading variety in Vermont.
Today, over 65 percent of the apples produced in Vermont are of the McIntosh variety. Other important varieties are descendants of McIntosh, resulting from plant breeding. Cortland, Empire, and Macoun are a few of the varieties having a McIntosh parent.
Modern controlled-atmosphere storage allows McIntosh apples to be sold almost year round. To maintain their fresh, crisp character,
McIntosh apples should be kept cold until ready to be eaten. McIntosh apples have a special sweet-tart flavor which makes them preferred for snacking and desserts. Apples contain important vitamins and minerals. They also promote good digestion.
Most of all, Vermont McIntosh apples are delicious to eat.

Mary Lisbeth D'Amico | February 21, 2014 | Comments
Yahoo's new Gemini platform lets advertisers combine purchasing for mobile search ads and native advertising, which until now have been offered separately. But Yahoo will have to work hard to get ahead in this fast-growing area, industry commenters say.
Yahoo this week introduced Gemini, a marketplace where it says advertisers can purchase both mobile search ads and native advertising inventory, in-feed ads that advertisers strive to make as interesting as other unpaid content. The move makes it more convenient for advertisers to purchase both products from Yahoo, optimize their ad spend, and enlarge their reach on multi-channel campaigns, according to Yahoo, which claims that Gemini offers advertisers "the performance and ease of search with the scale and creativity of native advertising."
But Yahoo, which is the third-ranked search engine in the U.S. behind Google and Microsoft, still has work to do to get ahead in mobile search, according to Dustin O'Dell, mobile sales manager with ad network AdTheorent.
"What type of audience still uses Yahoo to search, especially on mobile? I think it will be up to each brand to decide if they can find value in that audience," notes O'Dell. A Yahoo spokeswoman says the company does not break down what percentage of its search ads come from mobile search.
Tony Vlismas, senior director of marketing at Polar, which offers publishers its own native advertising platform, believes the move will, however, make the relatively new native ad format more palatable to advertisers. Yahoo is offering "a tool that mixes the familiarity of an existing product with a newer format where some players are only willing to dip their toes at first, or really have no idea where to start."
Mobile search is the fastest growing part of the search market right now and Yahoo is far from the only player trying to crack it. Users on mobile are generally searching with a specific intent to purchase and since their mobile provides location-based data, they can be more easily targeted with ads than those on desktop. But few marketers have yet to figure out the best format for ads on mobile.
Some believe that when done right, native advertising fits better to mobile than a display ad. "Banners and popovers do not work on mobile. Oftentimes the highest click-through comes from readers clicking them by mistake," says Vlismas.
But Yahoo and other players risk alienating users if they put too much native content into the feed. "With native advertising growing, will search results be overwhelmed with paid content? If or when that happens, the results could be similar to the low marks banner ads get," says Tina Cassidy, senior vice president and chief content officer at InkHouse Media + Marketing, a native advertising content provider.
Facebook already announced in January that it is phasing out its sponsored stories, after getting feedback that users were overwhelmingly annoyed by them. The quality that goes into creating a native ad is also important in its acceptance. "At the end of the day, native advertising needs to be compelling enough for readers to want to consume it," says Cassidy.
But O'Dell believes that ad relevancy trumps format. "It doesn't matter if it's an in-feed ad, a short film, or even a standard banner. If an advertiser can provide value at any given moment, then that ad has a greater chance of being successful," he says.
Ad technology and data processing power are just getting to a point to make this a reality, he notes. "I believe we will start to see brands really leverage data to make all their advertising as relevant as possible, which to me is the true definition of native advertising."

Ticket #8348 (new defect)
Font issues affecting Java OpenJDK (and other applications?)
|Reported by:
|Owned by:
|not assigned
|Development build as of this date
|Java, OpenJDK, font, fontconfig
|Action Needed:
|Deployments affected:
|Blocked By:
I'm working on making it possible to get Java to run on the OLPC, and have a solution to the problem that any Java program uses a strange italicized serif font, no matter what font you request. This odd font is used everywhere, and no other fonts seem to work.
This is focusing on the OpenJDK 22.214.171.124 distribution as found in yum. (That's "yum install java-1.6.0-openjdk") I've also considered gcj, but gcj's implementations of things like AWT or Swing is far less complete than OpenJDK currently. My OLPC is running Joyride 2346. I was glad to see that despite what our Wiki says about Java, it's actually relatively easy to make graphical Java programs at least run on the OLPC, to switch to its window, etc. (I'm not talking about making it a full-blown activity, which is dependent on a lot of other things happening, such as not having to set raw X properties on windows, bug http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/5271 and having a clean C/Java implementation of the services currently built in Python.)
(By the way, I'm also experimenting with "java-gnome" which creates GTK bindings for gnome, so Java interfaces can look more like other Sugar applications, but due to several compounding bugs in our yum distribution, and pending patches to java-gnome, I can't build that on the OLPC.)
The problem is that our fontconfig files are not set up correctly for the fonts distributed on the OLPC. I've verified that adding one file fixes the problem, but there are several ways of fixing the problem and I wanted input from others on the proper way to do it.
Here's a page that gives background on how fonts are loaded in Java:
(It's Java 1.5 but it still seems to work the same in OpenJDK 1.6)
When looking at that page, note that Joyride 2346 sets the following:
JavaHome=/usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.6.0-openjdk OS=Fedora Version=9
Thus, it searches for a working font configuration in the following order:
/usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.6.0-openjdk/lib/fontconfig.Fedora.9.properties /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.6.0-openjdk/lib/fontconfig.Fedora.9.bfc /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.6.0-openjdk/lib/fontconfig.Fedora.properties * /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.6.0-openjdk/lib/fontconfig.Fedora.bfc /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.6.0-openjdk/lib/fontconfig.9.properties /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.6.0-openjdk/lib/fontconfig.9.bfc /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.6.0-openjdk/lib/fontconfig.properties /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.6.0-openjdk/lib/fontconfig.bfc
The one marked with * is the first one that exists. The .bfc files are a binary format.
In the above directory, there exists a file
By copying this file to the filename "fontconfig.Fedora.properties" in the same directory, we can create a file that is found before the .bfc file and test our changes.
Inside the new "fontconfig.Fedora.properties" file, at the end, there are lines like:
Unfortunately, those font files don't exist, but instead of, say DejaVuSans.ttf, we have files named DejaVuLGCSans.ttf.
Fixing the "fontconfig.fedora.properties" to change filenames of all DejaVu... to DejaVuLGC... fixes these problems, and Java implementations now display correctly.
Now, how is the proper way to fix it? Here are a few alternatives:
1.) Just add the fixed properties file as demonstrated above to the OLPC's OpenJDK distribution. Doing this is nice because it doesn't affect any existing files, and it's user-tweakable as opposed to the compiled .bfc file.
2.) Create symbolic links in the fonts directory, for example, DejaVuSans.ttf would be a symbolic link to DejaVuLGCSans.ttf. I don't know if this might help other applications. Note that Fedora 9 usually contains /usr/share/fonts/dejavu/ *AND* /usr/share/fonts/dejavu-lgc/ directories while the OLPC just contains the former. Other applications expecting a Fedora-like atmosphere may miss these fonts too.
3.) Add the missing fonts such as DejaVuSans.ttf. I'm not sure about the difference between these fonts and the LGC equivalents, but Fedora 9 seems to contain both.
4.) Do some unspecified font fallback trick?
5.) Change "osname" (probably fetched from the Java property os.name) in the OpenJava JVM from "Fedora" to something more specific to the OLPC, like "OLPC". This might allow us to push an OLPC configuration file upstream to the OpenJDK project. I'm not sure where os.name is set, or how it is detected, though.
Which of these (or some other alternative) is the best way to fix our Java font problem?
Is there anyone in charge of packaging the OpenJDK distribution? I can probably create a patch for it. By the way, I haven't verified if *all* fonts in our fontconfig file exist, such as Sazanami, Lohit, Baekmuk, etc., or if we should point it at other files on the OLPC.
By the way, what's the best way to:
a.) Create a patch for a *new* file b.) compile a resource file to that .bfc format?

The Voice of Woman
by Shahida Latif
I am the being, who contains the whole entities,
Of the mother and daughter, the sister and wife,
And includes the alive buried history of mankind.
I am the being, who sacrificed the life full of bliss,
By tasting the flavour of forbidden fruit, fearing least
For the sake of love endangered my whole existence,
And suffered along with the credulous Father of Man.
I am the being, who was slaughtered at the altars,
To quench thirst of the ancients gods and my blood
Mingled the water of Nile to irrigate parched plains;
Sometimes they sipped lukewarm blood of my babes.
I am burnt alive in the fire of piled and heaped wood,
In front of the very sightless eyes of the customs,
After the departure of my life partner to the world next.
I am the being, who was sold in markets like toys,
And sometimes staked by the gambling patrons.
Often my enchanting visage: the centre of beauties,
Is deformed and singed with the burning substance,
Changing into horrible ghost: living sketch of the age.
I am the being, who perfumes beds of the lascivious,
And thousands of times have been beguiled, betrayed
In the name of sweet love: the same old false fiction,
That brings to me on each day a freshened falsehood.
Now they place upon the eyes and then they trample,
Under the feet as petals are squeezed and squashed.
My soul seeks anxiously the answers to the questions,
"By whom I am ravished, and stigmatized by whom? "
I am the being whose children have been snatched
Since beginning, and thrown into the furnace of wars.
Though I am confined, encaged amid the lofty walls,
Built with the substance of cumbersome stones, yet
I twitter like a clipped, curtailed and confined sparrow.
About Shahida Latif
Hi! I am Shahida Latif from Pakistan, I am the author of many books of Urdu poetry and one novel Saath Ishq "Seven Love Legends". In my poetic career I made several tours abroad and participated in seminars and poetry reading sessions, during the international tours I was asked by the literary figures to write in English as well, so I wrote my first poetry book in English, titled "Drop The Weapons", consisting of 70 poems. The book will be soon brought out, before the month of August 2011. I have been appreciated a lot by the readers. I hate bloodshed in the world, when any one is killed in war or in any conflict my heart weeps, I through my poetry want to give the message to humanity to end war and it is the easiest to do so, just drop the weapons, enlarge your zones of acceptance, consider all men and women are children of the same parents; we can make the world more and more beautiful with love and patience and by preferring others interests to ours. It is the only way to maintain peace in the world, open your eyes and minds lest it should be too late. Love and peace for all.Shahida Latif

Search engine marketing in Malaysia is undoubtedly one of the most effective ways to make your presence felt and get your products, services, and brand know to general public at highly competitive prices. Internet is the place where all the action takes place now as there are millions of internet users that hang out on social media sites every single day.
This huge traffic of internet users has gotten the attention of Malaysian marketers and they are using the various methods and platforms such as the social network in Malaysia to promote their products. However, promoting your brand at social media platforms or search engines is a specialized job and requires experienced professionals to get any meaningful results. Whether it is business owners or their employees, you cannot hope to get any worthwhile boost to your traffic and conversions if you decided to take it upon yourself to promote your business.
Internet presents a great opportunity for your business to improve your customer base, improve your conversions, and make good profits with very little investment. However, this cannot happen with every company or freelancer that you come across. The internet is full of such services providers that get a few hundred likes to some facebook pages and start calling themselves SEM experts. You need to be very careful when investing your hard earned money with a company like that as you may get any return on that investment.
Selecting A Good Company For Search Engine Marketing In Malaysia
While you are on the lookout for a good service SEM provider, the very first thing you should consider is that you would be able to get great profits with increased traffic through the efforts of a professional company. Your marketing objectives are best served when there is tangible increase in conversions, with least amount of costs. This can be done in many ways, such as search engine optimization, the affiliate marketing, PPC campaigns at various search engines and banner ad campaigns along with the promotional activities on a social network in Malaysia.
Of course, whatever method or platform you choose to promote you product is entirely up to you. However, all of your investment can go down the drain if you are not careful in selecting a reliable service provider.

To understand when to use a background scheduler we need to understand the following workflow, Imagine a project where you need to update some user data (change user location for ex.), then notify other users (friends) with the update made and finally send some emails to affected users. a classical implementation for such a work flow may be like this:
as shown in this workflow the user has to wait 3.7 seconds to get a response from the web server, also you can easily find out that the important part that should be executed before the user gets a response is the update database part and other steps (jobs) can be done later as it doesn't affect the user itself. so a purpose workflow to implement this in a better way may be like this:
as shown in this workflow you can find out that the user will get a response on 0.3 second, AWESOME !!!
Implementing this workflow using Sidekiq will need a basic setup consisted of: Redis database to store queues and its data, workers running in the background to process queued jobs and finally the Sidekiq gem that will be used to queue jobs. In the following part I'll try to show you how this architecture is implemented.
so as shown in the pervious part we'll have queues (persisted in Redis database) and workers running the background to perform required jobs queued in the Redis database.
our code implementation will be divided as follows:
- Workers located at: app/workers
- Sidekiq initializers at: config/initializers/sidekiq.rb
- AWS Elastic BeansTalk configuration to get Sidekiq start with each deployment as: .ebextensions/sidekiq.config
First of all we'll need to setup Redis and get it up and running, you can easily get Redis installed and working in your development environment using homebrew using the following command :
$ brew install redis
Then you should see something like this:
==> Downloading http://redis.googlecode.com/files/redis-2.4.8.tar.gz
######################################################################## 100.0%
==> make -C src
==> Caveats
If this is your first install, automatically load on login with:
mkdir -p ~/Library/LaunchAgents
cp /usr/local/Cellar/redis/2.4.8/homebrew.mxcl.redis.plist ~/Library/LaunchAgents/
launchctl load -w ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.redis.plist
If this is an upgrade and you already have the homebrew.mxcl.redis.plist loaded:
launchctl unload -w ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.redis.plist
cp /usr/local/Cellar/redis/2.4.8/homebrew.mxcl.redis.plist ~/Library/LaunchAgents/
launchctl load -w ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.redis.plist
To start redis manually:
redis-server /usr/local/etc/redis.conf
To access the server:
==> Summary
/usr/local/Cellar/redis/2.4.8: 9 files, 424K, built in 11 seconds
This is to install Redis at your development environment but for production I'd prefer using AWS Elastic Cache Redis instance to do so, Just login to your AWS console and follow these simple steps:
now in your Gemfile add Sidekiq gem and we'll also add Sinatra gem to enable the Sidekiq dashboard (will show it later).
## Background Tasks
gem 'sidekiq'
gem 'sinatra' ## to provide sidekiq web-view
Then bundle your Gemfile to fetch the required gems
$ bundle install
Now, we need to store Redis configurations (Redis server and port) to a yml file so we can define different settings for each environment (development, test, production, etc) as follows:
Now to initialize the Sidekiq on rails app starting based on the active environment we can use the following code:
now you can easily write the following code to execute a function that's a member of User model for example as follows:
u = User.find(1)
This will run the the notify friends in background and it wont block the server from returning a response to the client.
delay method is automatically binded to all of your classes and its purpose is to run any chained methods in background using the default queue.
You can view current queued jobs using Sidekiq dashboard by opening a route for Sidekiq dashboard in your routes.rb file as follows :
mount Sidekiq::Web, at: '/sidekiq'
where '/sidekiq/ is the end point to mount the dashboard on so we can access it with:
As you will find when you visit your Sidekiq dashboard, a lot of jobs are queued but not running/executed so you will need to run your workers to execute it jut by typing:
bundle exec sidekiq -q default
Now everything is working perfectly and we move our notify functionality to a backend job being executed by running workers. but we need to get this implementation up and running on AWS Elastic BeansTalk .. You wont face any problem concerning our implementation as most of our code is handling Development/Productions environments so this typical code will run smoothly on AWS Elastic BeansTalk but the problem will be that you will need to restart your workers on each deployment so they can get updated with any code modifications have been made.
You can do so by logging in to your EC2 which has being used by AWS Elastic BeansTalk to kill old workers and start new ones. but this for sure kills the idea behind automating your deployments and add more hassle to your deployment procedure. Luckily Elastic Beanstalk suppports a pretty powerful configuration file syntax. Nevertheless it took me some time to figure this all out hopefully I can save you some time:
This code will create a new folder "/opt/elasticbeanstalk/hooks/appdeploy/post"
as this folder is not created by default, and it will also use other folders like the "pre" folder in the same path to hook on the deployment process and kill sidekiq workers before "pre" deployment process and then restart it in the after "post" deployment process.

My plan comes out to 105 actually, but that's with taxes, so they must be using a pre-tax amount to calculate eligibility. From the anecdotes, this only affects people who bought crazy minutes or the horribly unusable international plan.
So some guy at AT&T put together an Excel spreadsheet and calculated that they could put this in, and they'd only lose like the revenues from like 50 upgrades or something ridiculously low, and still they could get a ton of good PR from all the web logs and crap.
I call bullshit.

This is not the first run police said they have made to the Marshall's home. According to the report, Marshall was issued a warning for an underage party back in January.
Marshall is charged with unlawful transaction with a minor.

Bill Carns and his girlfriend were the last people to be attacked by Richard Ramirez, the "Night Stalker" serial killer who murdered 13 people in 1984 and '85 and was convicted of dozens of other felonies, including rape. On Friday, the day that Ramirez died of natural causes, Carns welcomed the death of his attacker.
"It's about time," Carns told The Times by telephone from his home in Bismarck, N.D. "Finally, justice has been served…. I'm glad it's over."
Carns was a 29-year-old electrical engineer living with his girlfriend in Mission Viejo in Orange County on the night of the attack. Just a few days before the attack, his mom called, warning him to keep his windows shut.
PHOTOS: Richard Ramirez, the 'Night Stalker'
"She told me to lock your doors and windows. 'There's a guy called the Night Stalker,'" he recalled her saying. The attacker was known for entering the homes of victims, shooting adult males and then raping the females. But Carns felt safe in his suburban home, and assured his mom that the killer was far away from him.
After all, many of the attacks happened in the San Gabriel and San Fernando valleys, and one of them was in San Francisco. To calm his parents, he focused on the attack in Northern California.
"I said, 'Don't worry, mom and dad,'" Carns said. "He's 1,000 miles away from me."
A few days later, on an oppressively hot August night, after finishing up some work in the garage, he left the living room window open a few inches to let in the cool night breeze.
Ramirez slipped through the window, crept into the bedroom, and fired three bullets into Carns. Ramirez then bound his girlfriend with neckties and beat and raped her. He dragged her around the house by her hair looking for valuables and forced her at gunpoint to say she loved Satan.
They were Ramirez's 21st and 22nd victims.
The attack on the night of Aug. 25, 1985, permanently paralyzed Carns on his left side and marked his forehead and neck with gunshot scars. His left arm is in a sling, his left leg in a brace. He can no longer run. A bullet remains lodged in his skull.
He and his girlfriend eventually broke up, both unable to handle the aftermath of the ordeal. It took years of treatment for Carns to retrain his once-sharp brain and muscular body.
FROM THE ARCHIVES: 'Night Stalker' coverage
"Sometimes I get mad, and say, 'Why did this happen to me?'" Carns said.
"Those were some of the prime years of my life," he recalled. "The reason I moved to California was to advance my engineering career. Things were really starting to happen for me, and things got cut short."
"I was at the top of the world," Carns said. He said he had "a beautiful young girlfriend. We had a good home, and good neighbors. It didn't get any better than that."
Referring to his youth, he said, "I was a young man when I was injured, and he stole 15 or 20 years of my life. And how do you repay that?"

Photography Tips for Capturing your Monster Key West Haul
Aside from the lack of Gore-Tex raingear, the most frustrating thing about being a fisherman back in Ernest Hemingway's day was the difficulty in getting a sweet photo for your big catch. These old-timers couldn't just haul out their iPhone on deck and snap away to their heart's content!
How many people thought their grandfather's tales of the "big one" were grossly exaggerated?
Well, it was all because – Hemingway's feats notwithstanding – they had no photographic evidence to back up their stories.
Those days are long gone, and digital cameras are now standard in any angler's gear bag or top pocket. They come in all shapes and sizes and are as tough as you need them to be. Don't leave shore without one. But before you head off on that big fishing trip, take a look through some of these do's and don'ts to help you best capture your Key West big catch.
Do get familiar with your camera and know its settings. These days, cameras can capture an exact moment in amazingly graphic detail, but you still need to learn how to best use their features. Before your big fishing trip, take some time to test out all the great features on your camera.
Do set your camera on its highest resolution. There are loads of simple ways to shrink a photo, but no good way to blow up a photo that has been captured on poor resolution. Treat each photo like it could be the shot of the big one. You may want a lower resolution for your everyday shots, but go ahead and use up a few more mega-bytes for your once-in-a-lifetime fishing trip.
Where possible snap and release… the fish, that is. If you do want to get a photo of yourself with the big one you let go free, here are some simple tips from Key West Charter Boat Row to Captain Richie Gomez, to make sure the fish you set free stays alive: "Hold the fish horizontally, as holding them head or tails up can be harmful," says the captain. "Much like hanging a human up by their feet causes a rush of blood to the head. Fish are very simple creatures and their organs are set up so that they function best in a horizontal position." Don't wipe the protective "goop" off the fish either; it protects the fish from bacterial infection. Your mate will help you get the fish released as quickly as possible to make it likely to live for another day of sport fishing!
Don't just snap away wildly. It is one thing to take advantage of the digital age, but don't go overboard (pun intended). Think carefully about the background. Do you want to include the boat, the jetty or just have you and the fish in the shot? The best fishing shot is the shot out on the water where fish was caught. It will come across as the most genuine and you'll look far happier in that shot than in the photo back on shore after a long day at sea.
Do make sure the camera is focused on the smiling face of the fisherman and the fish. These are the important features of a trophy photo. Don't sacrifice a great photo trying to get the angler in from head to toe.
Do hold the fish close to you to allow the camera to get both fisherman and fish clearly in focus. The further away you hold the fish, the more likely one of you will be out of focus. If you're holding onto a large live fish don't let safety take a backseat to your eagerness to get a great shot.
Don't wear a cap for the photo. The bill casts a shadow on your face leaving you looking like the Invisible Man.
The person taking the photo should be standing with their back to the sun and the fisherman with his catch should be looking into sun for the best lighting. This may cause you to squint. Some may disagree but sunglasses are a cool alternative to squinting. You can't always look into the sun, though. Kodak recommends you use a flash in this sort of instance, yes, even outdoors.
Do take multiple photos. Digital photography is a numbers game. The more shots you take the better chance you have of getting a really good one. It's not all that dissimilar to fishing. The more times you get out there the better your chances are of landing the big one.
