I have some questions: I compiled the buildroot and I noticed the following: -In contrast to the README there is no UMlinux binary. How do I make user mode linux work? From the UMlinux download pages there are patches for kernel up to 2.6.8... -When I downloaded my new root_fs to gumstix i2c devices were not under /dev. Ok I can create them with mknod, but the i2c modules are not loaded. How do I load them? Are they anywhere inside my builroot?(could not locate them) -My final goal is to use i2c devices as peripherals to my gumstix. Has anybody managed that? If so can anybody be so kind as to give me instructions and sample code on how to do it? (I have already seen lm-sensors and compiled i2c-dev but I am quite unsure of what to do next) Thanks very much

Fall of the Terran Empire
Brian Jeffreys
This book is available for download with iBooks on your Mac or iOS device, and with iTunes on your computer. Books can be read with iBooks on your Mac or iOS device.
Resisting the cruel, conquering machine of the mighty Terran Empire, the Orion Star Cluster locks its fledgling navy in combat with one of the most brilliant Terran admirals in its history. But Orion's only chance rests with a discovery made by a young Imperial cruiser commander named Traci Ganner.
In a routine pirate patrol, Ganner discovers a new world defended by Strike Fighters; a technology neither the Terran Empire nor Orion Clans possess. In a bid to save them both, Ganner devises a cunning plan, a plan that will come with a terrible price. To succeed, she must secretly unleash an unthinkable force and continue to stay one step ahead of everyone until it is time to reveal the truth. She is pitted in a game of wits against the highest levels of Imperial Command, including the Emperor himself, in order to save her own life, and those she cares for.

Arizona Cardinals
Cardinals place QB Kevin Kolb on injured reserve
The Arizona Cardinals officially placed quarterback Kevin Kolb on injured reserved Tuesday, according to a press release issued by the team.
The roster move ends Kolb's once-promising season. After losing the starting job to John Skelton in the preseason, Kolb replaced the injured Skelton in an opening day win over Seattle in which he engineered the game-winning touchdown drive.
Kolb would then start the next five games but was injured in a Week 6 loss to the Buffalo Bills.
"It's upsetting and disappointing with where we started and the way that the season kicked off, to be in this position," Kolb said of the move.
For the season, Kolb completed 109-of-183 passes for 1,169 yards, eight touchdowns and three interceptions.
He said he hoped all along to play again this season, but at some point "kind of hit a wall with my rehab", which led to an MRI that showed his ribs were not healing fast enough to get back on the field.
In two seasons with Arizona, Kolb was only able to play in 15 of a possible 32 games due to various injuries, and there are thoughts that he may have played his last game as a Cardinal. He hopes that's not the case.
"I feel like we did some really good things," the quarterback said. "I like the way this locker room is, I really do."
Kolb said he knows the team will have to make some adjustments, but he has no thoughts of playing anywhere else next season.
"My focus is being a part of this team for a long time and being the best player that I can be and getting this place back to an elite level," he said. "I'm going to work my tail off to make sure I get there."
In a corresponding roster move, the Cardinals signed offensive lineman Mike Gibson. Gibson played with the Seattle Seahawks from 2009 to 2011 and was with the Philadelphia Eagles in training camp this season before being released.
He was a sixth round pick of the Eagles in 2008.

The invention relates to a process for preparing a powder coating material, in which binders and pigments and also, where appropriate, fillers, additives and crosslinkers, following premixing where appropriate, are processed in the melt in an extruder to give a homogeneous mixture and the extrudate, after cooling, is ground to give the finished powder coating material.
As solvent-free and environment-friendly coating systems, powder coating materials have acquired considerable importance and are preferred over solvent-borne coating materials in numerous fields of use. They normally consist of binders, pigments, fillers and, where appropriate, additives and crosslinkers. They are in finely divided form and are generally applied electrostatically to a large number of different substrates, on which they are cured by baking or by radiative energy.
In the fluidized bed sintering process, a powder is held in suspension by air in a fluidizing tank. When heated substrates are immersed in the suspended powder, the polymer powder melts on the workpiece. When the fluid-sintering powders known to date are used to produce effect coatings, the problem may arise of separation of effect pigments and polymers in the course of the fluidizing process.
In principle, powder coating materials may be pigmented using all known pigments, including the known effect pigments, in turn including pearl lustre pigments based on mica.
Pearl lustre pigments are mica platelets coated with metal oxides, and are used in a large number of technical fields. They are available, for example, from Merck under the trade name Iriodin�. These pigments are described, for example, in German Patents and Patent Applications 14 67 468, 19 59 998, 2009 566, 22 14 545, 22 15 191, 22 44 298, 23 13 331, 25 22 572, 31 37 808, 31 37 809, 31 51 343, 31 51 356, 31 51 355, 32 11 602, 32 35 017, 33 34 598 and 35 28 256.
The powder coating materials are generally prepared by mixing the aforementioned constituents and homogenizing the mixture in extruders in the melt. The solid lumps of extruded powder coating material are passed to a mill. There, the powder coating material is ground to the particle size necessary for the application.
If platelet-shaped effect pigments are used to pigment powder coating materials, however, particular problems occur. Owing to the grinding process employed during the preparation of the powder coating material, a large proportion of the pigment platelets is destroyed, leading to a reduction in the lustre effect. It has therefore not been possible to date to mix effect pigments into the starting material for preparing the powder coating material, in the same way as other pigments, and then to grind the mixture following extrusion.
In order to prevent the destruction of the effect pigment platelets, they could be admixed to the powder coating material after grinding (dry-blend). When this is done, the disadvantage of accumulation or depletion of pigments on the surface of the object to be coated is observed. The reason for this observation is the different charging behaviour of the powder coating particles and the effect pigment particles. The problem of separation can only be solved, at least in part, by means of extremely costly processes, such as the bonding process, for example, in which uniform adhesion of the admixed pigments to the surface of the powder coating particles is achieved by means of electrostatic forces.
DE 24 34 855 describes a process for preparing powder coating materials with metallic pigmentation, in which a brushing process is used to fix the pigment platelets on the surface of the powder coating particles. The union of powder coating material and effect pigment is brought about by introducing mechanical energy and possibly thermal energy as well.
The equipment which is required in order to do this is very complex, something which is reflected in the high production costs for the lustre-pigmented powder coating materials. Additionally, the lustre of the powder coating materials thus obtained is often inadequate.
It is an object of the present invention to avoid the above-described disadvantages of the prior art and to specify a process for preparing a powder coating material which can be used to give powder coating materials in which the effect pigment particles are part of the powder coating particles. The intention is that this will avoid the above-described accumulation or depletion of pigments on the surface of the object to be coated, and that coatings having outstanding lustre will nevertheless continue to be obtained.
It has surprisingly been found that the above-described destruction of the effect pigment platelets during the grinding process does not occur if surface-modified effect pigments coated with a low molecular mass polyethylene or polypropylene are used.
Surface-modified pearl lustre pigments coated with a polymer compound are known, inter alia, from German Laid-Open Specification DE-A 43 17 019. The pigments described in this patent application include pearl lustre pigments coated with polyethylene wax. Although the patent application cited states in its introduction that surface-coated and modified pigments are used both for pigmenting varnishes, powder coating materials, paints, printing inks, plastics and the like, and in cosmetic formulations, the possibility of subjecting the coated pigments to a grinding process is not addressed. Rather, the person skilled in the art has to understand the reference to the use in powder coating materials, in the light of the state of the art at that time, to mean that the pigments must be added subsequently to the powder coating material, as was described above. It could not have been expected, indeed, that the thin coating of the effect pigment platelets with a polyethylene wax or polypropylene wax would improve the mechanical stability of the pigments to such an extent that impairment of the lustre, despite the grinding process, would not occur.
The present invention accordingly provides a process for preparing the above-described powder coating materials, in which binders and pigments and also, where appropriate, fillers, additives and crosslinkers, following premixing where appropriate, are processed in the melt in an extruder to give a homogeneous mixture and the extrudate, after cooling, is ground to the finished powder coating material, wherein at least part of the pigment fraction comprises surface-modified effect pigment that has been coated with a low molecular mass polyethylene or polypropylene.
The preparation of the powder coating materials of the invention is simple in practice and easy to operate. It corresponds to the customary preparation of powder coating materials. The binder component and the pigment component, which may comprise coated effect pigment and other standard pigments, and also fillers, additives and crosslinkers, where appropriate, are mixed thoroughly, using blade mixers or tumble mixers, for example. In the course of this process, the individual components may be admixed simultaneously or in succession to the binder component. The mixture is homogenized in the melt in an extruder and upon leaving the extruder is cooled and coarsely fractionated. In a mill, it is ground down to the final fineness of the powder coating material.
The powder coating material obtained by the process of the invention offers considerable advantages over the prior art; since there is no separation, application reliability is increased. Since there is no need for a bonding process or similar complex processes, the preparation costs are reduced. It is also possible to prepare powder coating materials which can be applied tribostatically, which was hitherto—not a possibility. Furthermore, powder coating concentrates containing effect pigments may also be prepared by the method of the invention.
The present invention additionally provides a powder coating material comprising binders, pigments and also, where appropriate, fillers, additives and crosslinkers, in which at least part of the pigment fraction comprises surface-modified effect pigment that has been coated with a low molecular mass polyethylene or polypropylene.
The effect pigment is advantageously a mica pigment coated one or more times with a metal oxide (pearl lustre pigment). The best results in terms of lustre and effect are achieved using these pigments. Other effect pigments which can be used, however, include coated Al2O3 platelets, bismuth oxychloride (BiOCl), aluminum flakes, Variocrom� or Paliocrom� pigments from BASF, LCP pigments (liquid crystal polymer pigments), coated glass flakes or multilayer pigments having from 3 to 9 layers, preferably having 3, 5 or 7 layers. Particular preference is given to pearl lustre pigments based on platelet-shaped, transparent or semi-transparent substrates. Examples of suitable substrates are phyllosilicates, such as mica, synthetic mica or other silicatic materials, glass, talc, sericite, kaolin and SiO2 glass, TiO2 and Al2O3 platelets. Examples of the platelet-shaped substrates are those coated with rare earth metal sulfide, such as Ce2S3 titanium suboxides, titanium oxynitrides, pseudobrookite, with colored or colorless metal oxide, such as TiO2 Fe2O3, Fe3O4, SnO2, Cr2O3, ZnO, CuO, NiO and other metal oxides, alone or in a mixture, in one uniform layer or in successive layers (multilayer pigments). Particular preferred pigments comprise TiO2—, Fe2O3— or TiO2/Fe2O3-coated mica, Al203 or SiO2 platelets. Preferred multilayer pigments are mica, SiO2 or TiO2 substrates coated with TiO2 (first layer), SiO2 (second layer) and TiO2 (third layer).
Effect lustre pigments also used with preference are prepared by chemical or physical deposition in the gas phase (CVD, chemical vapour deposition, or PVD, physical vapour deposition) or else are prepared by deposition in aqueous solution.
The effect pigment content is from 0.1 to 50% by weight based on the sum of all constituents. With smaller amounts, the effect is not sufficiently developed, and higher amounts likewise lead to an impairment of the effect. The effect pigment content is preferably from 0.5 to 30% by weight, with particular preference from 0.5 to 10% by weight, and with very particular preference from 1 to 7% by weight, based on the total weight of the powder coating material.
For the powder coating material of the invention it is possible to use all commercially customary powder coating materials which are commonly based on reactive epoxides, polyesters, polyacrylates or polyurethanes, and also on other polymers as well, which may be both reactive and thermoplastic. Particular preference is given to polyester powder coating materials, polyacrylate powder coating materials, polyurethane powder coating materials, epoxy powder coating materials or polyester-epoxy powder coating materials.
The effect pigment is coated advantageously with from 15 to 50% by weight, more preferably from 15 to 40% by weight, with particular preference from 15 to 35% by weight, of polyethylene or polypropylene, based on the total weight of effect pigment and polyethylene or polypropylene respectively. The coating can be affected using methods known in the art, such as by simply mixing the pigment with molten polymer.
The low molecular mass polyethylene or polypropylene used is advantageously a polyethylene or polypropylene used is advantageously a polyethylene or polypropylene having a molecular weight of from 1 000 to 20 000 daltons.
The effect pigment advantageously has a particle size of from 5 to 200 μm; where the effect pigment is a pearl lustre pigment, the latter has a particle size of from 5 to 100 μm, preferably from 10 to 60 μm.
The powder coating material of the invention may be applied to any desired substrate materials, examples being metals such as iron, steel, aluminum, copper, bronze, brass and also metal foils, and also conductive modified surfaces of glass, ceramic and concrete and the like, and also to non-conductive surfaces such as wood, e.g., furniture, glass, ceramic, plastics, inorganic building materials or other materials, for decorative and/or protective purposes.
To improve the surface quality, it is also possible for one or more clearcoats to be applied to the powder coat, the effect of such an application generally being to improve not only the appearance but also the durability of the coating as a whole. The transparent final coating is, however, not absolutely necessary.
The invention also provides for the use of surface-modified effect pigments coated with low molecular mass polyethylene or polypropylene to prepare powder coating materials comprising an extruded and ground mixture of binders and pigment and also, where appropriate, of fillers, additives and curing agents.
In the text below, the invention is illustrated with reference to an implementation example and a comparative example.
The entire disclosure of all applications, patents and publications, cited above, and of corresponding German application No. 10034972.2, filed Jul. 19, 2000, is hereby incorporated by reference.
Without further elaboration, it is believed that one skilled in the art can, using the preceding description, utilize the present invention to its fullest extent. The following preferred specific embodiments are, therefore, to be construed as merely illustrative, and not limitative of the remainder of the disclosure in any way whatsoever.
In the foregoing and in the following examples, all temperatures are set forth uncorrected in degrees Celsius; and, unless otherwise indicated, all parts and percentages are by weight.

My Stupid Baja Bug Shoots Flames Now
The good news is that my Baja Bug is up and running again. The bad news is that it shoots fireballs.
The good news is that my Baja Bug is up and running again. The bad news is that it shoots fireballs.
I don't have a lot to contextualize just how horribly my cross country drive in my new 1974 Volkswagen Beetle started. Hell, I don't think anyone has ever driven to their own tow truck before.
It didn't occur to me at the time quite how ridiculous it was. I was staring at my new car, its engine out and sitting on the driveway, and I planned on driving it across the country to New York City the next day.
Well, the Baja's broke again. But after so many breakdowns, this one doesn't even bother me. Let me tell you why.
You could make a strong argument for Southern California as America's capital of car culture. Since moving there I've learned most apartment garages forbid automotive maintenance and it damn sure ain't allowed on the street. So where's a propertyless cretin like myself supposed to do an oil change?
Every so often I wake up and remember that I once bought a Lexus for $600, fixed it up, then almost immediately destroyed it with 48 hours of rallycross.
It was supposed to be an easy fix.
Truck suspension has come a long way in the last 100 years. Just kidding! It hasn't at all, so this excellent instructable video on how to lift 1969 Jeep Wagoneer with new shocks and springs is probably applicable to your rig.
The weather is looking up, which means project car season is coming. Read this before you start your crazy build.
There are lots of potential problems that every person runs into while stuck in the midst of their first project car. How did you get past them?
It's amazing what you can do with duct tape, zip ties, shoe laces, pantyhose, logs, coke bottles, and a bit of Macgyver spirit when it comes to fixing your car.
You don't become a nine-time world rally champion by letting other people do all the work for you. Even when, you know, you shatter your suspension.
There was a particular moment we realized it: this car was going to the junkyard.
Sometimes you have an idea that's so bad, you just have to do it.
Whether you're swan diving into a rusty rabbit hole or soaking up the last of summer, happy Labor Day from Truck Yeah! Show us what you're wrenching on or driving on this long weekend.
You know, I could just take it to the junkyard any time. You hear that, Lexus? CAN YOU HEAR ME? ANYTIME I WANT.
Five months ago, I bought a 1993 Lexus ES300 with an ultra-rare factory five speed for $600. Here's the car's first drive after coming home, and it was a doozy.
It all started with a long drive from New York City to West Virginia.
You want to work on your car yourself? Great. Here are ten tools you're going to need to wrench in your garage, driveway, parking lot, or wherever else you fix your car.
Did your car's engine just explode? Did your truck have a critical axle failure? Don't worry, as the world's greatest mechanic, I can repair it. Why? Because I just fixed my car's headlight, ALL BY MYSELF.

Sept. 24, 2012
WASHINGTON - Senior captain Charlie Caris (Des Moines, Iowa/Theodore Roosevelt) had a big performance for the Georgetown University men's tennis team which hosted the annual Georgetown Classic this past weekend at the McDonough Outdoor Tennis Courts. Caris won the singles title and took the double title with junior partner Casey Distaso (The Woodlands, Texas/Edmond North).
Caris had a bye in the opening round and defeated a player from UMBC in the second, 6-0, 6-0. He then downed the Retriever's Gaulthier Barret 7-5, 6-1 in the quarterfinals. In the semifinals, Caris battled through a three-set match against another UMBC player winning 6-4, 2-6, 6-2. In the championship, he faced his own teammate in sophomore Shane Korber (Newport Beach, Calif./Corona Del Mar) by a score of 6-2, 6-4.
Korber also played foes from UMBC. After a bye in the first round, he downed Juan Aranzazu 6-2, 6-1before facing his own teammate. Korber defeated Georgetown sophomore John Brosens (Bedford, N.Y./Brunswick School) 6-2, 6-4 and then freshman Dan Khanin 7-5, 3-0 retired.
Despite falling to their teammates, Brosens and Khanin had victories on the day. Brosens defeated UMBC's Kamal Patel 6-4, 6-2 as well as another Retriever 6-7, 7-6, 6-4. Khanin downed UMBC's Daniel Gray 3-6, 6-1, 6-1 as well as GW's Ulrik Thomsne 3-6, 6-3, 7-5.
In doubles play, Distaso and Caris won three matches to take the championship. They defeated two teams from UMBC, 8-3, in the quarterfinals and 8-3 in the semifinals before defeating teammates sophomore Alex Tropiano (Laurel Hollow, N.Y./Cold Spring Harbor) and Khanin, 8-2, in the championship.
Tropiano and Khanin beat a team from UMBC, 8-4, and teammates Korber and Brosens, 9-8(7-4), to advance to the championship. Korber and Brosens also won two matches taking the play-in against UMBC, 8-3, and a match over a GW pair, 9-7.
The men will be back in action on October 5-6 at the Margaux Powers Memorial Tournament in Providence, R.I.

Slow and Steady Hikers Message Board › TICKS - true story
|A former member
STORY: Gross and true - a tick managed to survive on my scalp through 3 days of shampooing, brushing and blow-drying. I have long hair but this could happen to anyone.
MORAL: Prevention: insect repellent, long sleeves, gaiters, hats etc. Detection: check for ticks after hike at parking lot, again when arriving home, and in shower. Treat yourself to an intensive SCALP MASSAGE to feel for little bumps.
Forewarned is forearmed: educate yourself about this very likely hazard that we hikers live with this time of year.

I had to worry about that when I lived in Ontario. I believe I was bitten by one in January of all times. Another one survived in my jeans for several days.

After getting a test back, it is a good idea to correct the test so that you do not make the same errors again. One recommended approach is to use a clean sheet of paper, and divide the paper down the middle vertically, as shown. For each problem that you missed on the test, rework the problem correctly on the left-hand side of the paper. Then give a written explanation on the right- hand side of the paper. To reinforce the correct procedure, return to the section of text from which the problem was taken and do several more problems.
Take the time this week to make corrections from your last test.

5 Shows After Dark: All of This Just Screams "Bad Idea"
By Genevieve Burgess | Miscellaneous | November 26, 2013 | Comments ()
Marvel's Agents of SHIELD on ABC at 8:00pm ET. From the commercials it looks like this week will explore why it's really dumb that their headquarters are on a plane. I mean, that's not a great plan for a regular group of heavily armed individuals for reasons starting with "the cost of jet fuel" and ending with "accidents can lead to explosive decompression" but it seems like an even WORSE idea for a group of people who deliberately seek out people with mysterious and poorly understood superpowers.
The African Americans: Many Rivers to Cross - It's Nation Time on PBS at 8:00pm ET.
Brooklyn Nine-Nine on Fox at 8:30pm ET.
The Mindy Project on Fox at 9:30pm ET.
Marshal Law: Texas on TNT at 10:00pm ET. Series premiere. Hey, did you want another reality series about law enforcement personnel? No? TOO BAD! This one will also have terrible Texas jokes/stereotypes.
Genevieve Burgess thought the same thing about the plane/flying aircraft carrier thing they had in the movie.

In SSIS 2008, is there is way to design an SSIS package around the problem when an OLE DB data source returns an error like this "Database [xyz] cannot be opened. It is in the middle of restore."?
I am hoping there is a way to design a loop into an SSIS 2008 package to trap this error, maybe wait 5 or 10 minutes for the source DB to finish restoring (from log shipping for example) and then try again - with a max retry limit built in.
Thank You.

Many of us are 6 weeks into our New Year's resolution of eating more healthfully this year. And, if you are anything like me, you might be starting to feel in a bit of a rut, which makes sticking to your plan harder.

Assuming you have lots of school lunch ideas already, here are 10 easy swaps for healthier lunches and snacks. When in doubt, go back to basics and use fresh ingredients.
Ask any leprechaun out there and they will tell you that they eat lots of green food items. While we only seem to look at green foods during St. Patrick's Day time, I look for new ways of giving my kids green foods year round (because they are good for them, right?).
A few seconds of cutting and shaping food might just be the trick you need to get your kids to try new things.
When it comes to packing fresh fruit in our children's school lunch, the difficulty often lies in how to pack it so it stays fresh through the lunch hour and making sure it doesn't go to waste.

Gadsden teacher accused of coverup has new charge
Published: Wednesday, August 5, 2009 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, August 4, 2009 at 8:58 p.m.
GADSDEN | A Gadsden City High teacher who was arrested for failing to report a sexual relationship between a student and a teacher has been arrested in a new case.
Police say 32-year-old Amanda Alldredge bought alcohol for a minor in April and has been charged with endangering the welfare of a child.
District Attorney Jimmie Harp said Alldredge had been on administrative leave since the first arrest and has resigned as part of an agreement with prosecutors. He said she is expected to plead guilty to all charges.
Alldredge failed to report that she knew of an alleged sexual relationship between former teacher and baseball coach Nicholas Keith Smith, 26, and a student who was 15 when the relationship began. Smith was charged with second-degree rape and possession of obscene material.

West Australian voters likely to be forced back to the polls after Australian Electoral Commission admits ineptitude in Senate ballot
- From: The Courier-Mail
- November 05, 2013
THE Australian Electoral Commission has admitted its incompetence will send almost 2.5 million voters back to the polls.
Despite yesterday declaring six politcal "winners" amid farcical scenes in the Western Australia Senate race, the AEC hinted it would challenge its own result after losing 1400 votes.
The challenge would likely trigger a fresh poll.
Clive Palmer's war with the AEC
Australian Electoral Commissioner Ed Killesteyn apologised for the lost ballot papers, conceding it was likely they had been lost forever, and hinted he would petition for a fresh election.
"I'm obligated to declare the result, irrespective of the fact that these ballots are missing. Legally, I just have no other choice," he said.
"Nearly 1400 West Australian electors have had their Senate votes disenfranchised and I apologise unreservedly to all of those electors,'' Mr Killesteyn told ABC Radio before the result was handed down.
"We're left with a nagging and almost irreconcilable doubt about the outcome of the West Australian Senate election.
"We've made extensive searches for these missing ballot papers.
"Despite searching and researching of warehouses, counting centres, polling places, motor vehicles, the couriers that were involved, they've not been located, so I'm not holding out a lot of hope that we'll find them."
