In good January fashion, we're right in the middle of a cold snap here in the Midwest. Anyone else experiencing some subzero weather right about now?! Brr…
Ways we try to save money while staying warm
Since our house is heated with liquid gold (aka oil) and we're not millionaires, we've had to take certain measures to keep warm while keeping costs down. For starters, I should admit that we do keep the house cool… like quite cool. As in friends-and-family-bring-sweaters-and-slippers-when-they-come-to-visit cool. (Although I must say, we've been cranking the heat up a bit more this winter thanks to having a newborn combined with lower oil prices!) But we've gotten used to wearing extra layers, wearing slippers and/or socks (love my first ever pair of smart wool socks that I got for Christmas!), and snuggling under blankets while hanging out on the couch. Other ways we save while staying warm: We bought a space heater (that warms the whole room). We use flannel sheets and a heated mattress pad (best purchase ever!). We switched out the old thermostat in the house for a programmable one. And then there's the stairwell curtain…
We live in a cape cod with an unfinished second level/attic, which is great for storage. Thankfully, there's a door at the top of the stairs which helps with climate control, but there's still the issue of the stairwell… a gaping chasm of square footage that has no business being heated. It's just a channel for cold air to com down and our precious warm air to go up.
So, let's just hang a curtain, we think. Oh, just hang a curtain, eh? Think it's that easy? It would be if it weren't for the tall ceiling and partial open railing! Taking those factors into consideration, I came up with this L-shaped curtain that just uses 3 yards of fabric and 3 tension rods.
If you have a funky stairwell situation and want to keep your house warmer (or cooler in the summer!), this tutorial is for you:
DIY Stairwell Curtain
You'll need 3 yards of fabric (or more or less, I suppose, depending oh how far up your railing goes! Mine goes up 5 steps.), 3 tension rods, and a sewing machine.
For the fabric, I chose a neutral-colored, heavy-ish weighted fabric. (I debated going with a fun, bold print, but decided I didn't want to draw attention to that space, so I went neutral.) I wasn't sure how heavy the fabric would need to be. Did it have to be extra thick or even quilted to make a difference? The thing was, I wanted something that would be easy to work with and not too much of a project. The material I went with is like a heavy khaki – it was easy to sew and I know it's thick enough to make a difference because when I open it to go to the attic I feel a cool draft come down the stairs!
You'll want to make sure your fabric is at least as wide as your stairwell, plus seam allowance. (Extra width is good because it allows for it to gather.) My fabric was 56″ wide.
1. Hem the Sides – Turn the long sides of the fabric under 1/4″ and then hem 3/4″ to create finished seams.
2. Top Casing – Turn the top of the fabric under 1/2″, the fold down 4″. Sew seam. Then sew a seam in the middle (2″ from the top) to form the casing. The tension rod will slide into the lower opening.
3. Middle Casing – Measure the distance for the top portion of the curtain, between where you'll hang the first two rods. My second casing is 3 feet from the first. Fold the material over 2″, right sides together. Sew the seam to form the casing.
4. Bottom Casing – Fold the fabric under 1/2″ and then hem the bottom of the curtain to your desired length. This gives a finished edge as well as forms the final casing!
5. Slide the rods into each of the three casings. Hang your curtain up (I find it easiest to hang the middle rod first), and enjoy your temperature controlled living space!

Daniel Andrews Defends Emergency Staff Bash Laws
Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews has defended his government's emergency worker abuse crackdown after criticism the laws would ignore the impacts of family violence and mental health on offenders.
Law experts on Tuesday criticised the Labor government's mandatory sentencing plan, seeking to tighten special reason exemptions and give offenders' life circumstances less weight in court.
"I can't help but think some of the people who are critical of the actions we announced yesterday might have a different view, maybe, if they speak to the paramedics and police officers that I've spoken to," Mr Andrews said.
"The stories of abuse and injury (don't) just affect them, they affect the people that love them, they affect families and they ultimately affect all of us.
"We believe we've got the balance right here and the bill will be introduced."
Assaults on police, paramedics, firefighters or emergency department medicos are to become category one offences - the same as murder and rape.
The government will also remove substance impairment and psychosocial immaturity as special reasons to be exempt from mandatory jail time for those between 18 and 21 years old.
Furthermore, the circumstances of offenders - such as traumatic childhoods - will become peripheral concerns for the judiciary.
The laws are likely to pass parliament once introduced, with Opposition Leader Matthew Guy saying he won't stand in the way.
Sentencing Advisory Council chair Arie Freiberg said it's unreasonable to disregard an offender's mental capacity in sentencing because emergency services were often called for people in distressed, injured or inebriated states.
"A large proportion of those in jail have suffered family violence or sexual abuse in their own lives and what we're doing is perpetuating this, particularly where they're further separated from their children," Mr Freiberg said.
"The irony of these cases in the light of spending billions on family violence and recognising it and mental illness is a really important point."
The Law Institute of Victoria is seeking an urgent meeting with Attorney-General Martin Pakula over the changes, with president Belinda Wilson questioning why "these assaults should be in the same category as murder and rape".
Meanwhile, the Victorian branch of the Transport Workers Union wants the laws extended to attacks on bus drivers, citing a spike in physical and verbal assaults.

A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night
Friday, February 16
1hr 39mins // directed by:Ana Lily Amirpour // featuring:Sheila Vand, Arash Marandi, Mozhan Marnó, Marshall Manesh
A love story between two tortured souls in the Iranian Ghost town called Bad City...a place that reeks of death and loneliness where a lonesome vampire is preying on the towns most depraved denizens.
The first Vampire Western ever made in the Farsi language, Ana Lily Amirpour's debut basks in the sheer pleasure of pulp. A joyful mash-up of genre, archetype, and iconography, its prolific influences span spaghetti westerns, graphic novels, horror films, and the Iranian New Wave.
Boston Herald
"Fans of horror-film/art-movie hybrids, drop everything and get to the Coolidge Corner Theatre to see writer/director Ana Lily Amirpour's debut feature, A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night .... Billed as the first Iranian vampire movie, this lyrical, lushly atmospheric, black-and-white gem was shot in a small industrial town in California, although it is credibly set in Bad City, Iran, a kind of oil-field ghost town out of some Eastern version of the Old West. A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night is a genre-film knockout." – James Verniere

Orākei street sign project launch
Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei Street Names
The Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei street signs project is to inform and educate descendants of NWO, residents of Orākei and the wider eastern and central Auckland communities alike, of the stories and origins behind the street names in Orākei and across Auckland.
These street signs play an integral part in the representation of Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei as mana whenua in Tāmaki Makaurau and are permanent yet subtle portrayals of our presence within the city.
There are 26 street names in total which are divided into 3 groups. The 'Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei' street names are predominantly names of Rangatira, Tupuna and/or places of high regard to NWO. The 'Significant Māori Street Names' include names that are not specific to Ngāti Whātua, but have become important to many in the Orākei community. "Ngā Waka" represents the five street signs in Orākei that are named after ancestral canoes of Aotearoa.

The virtual home of Naomi Clark - Writer, werewolf aficionado, snake-charmer, Mega Shark fangirl
Wednesday, 29 November 2017
But I'm not feeling very normal at the moment. I'm going through what I think of as a quiet patch of depression. That is to say, I'm standing at the edge of a stormy sea, aware I could be sucked in by the tide, rather than being out in that storm, helpless while the water closes over my head. I've suffered from depression on and off for...most of my life, I guess? I was undiagnosed as a teenager, but once I got diagnosed at university, I could look back and say "oh, that's what that was." Sometimes I need counselling and medication, and sometimes I get by without either of those things and just ride the storm out.
This time, it crept up on me slowly. I knew I was getting more anxious and irrational in my thoughts throughout September and October, but I blamed that on the approaching anniversary of my dad's death. But the feeling didn't pass once October did, and suddenly I found myself in the toilets at work, the day after IMPERIAL DEMONS came out, sobbing over nothing, and thought, "yeah, you probably need to talk to someone."
So I talked to my doctor and I'm taking medication, and I'm now at that nice point where I recognise that my thoughts aren't facts, and I can observe them rather than let them consume me. The storm is still out there, but I'm safe on the beach.
The downside is I really, really cannot write. Forget the romantic notion that suffering is good for art. For me, that's never been true. My writing started to lag in September, was almost nonexistent in October, and despite my resolution to write every day in November to finish an Amber Morgan book, I've done...virtually nothing again. It frustrates and panics me, and it takes away one of my coping mechanisms for when I feel low. So that's kind of a vicious circle. I want to write because I feel sad, but I feel too sad to write. My brain is...blank. Simple tasks feel beyond my strength, and writing isn't a simple task no matter how much I enjoy it. It takes time and care and love, and I don't have the energy or motivation for those things right now.
So in short, I'm not doing very much at the moment and I'm saving my energy for stuff I can't avoid, like going to work and remembering to put my clothes on the right way round (I did forget one day, but luckily I realised my top was on back to front before anyone else got to the office).
Nevertheless, there is stuff happening that I want to talk about. People who follow me on Facebook and Twitter may already know, but for those who don't, Ragnarok Publications recently announced they will be closing their doors temporarily. I don't know what will happen long-term (though I wish the team all the best), but short-term, UNDERTOW is one of the books that will be pulled from sale in December. All the rights will revert to me then.
I won't lie. I'm gutted. I'd just started to think there was still a chance to keep the Shoregrave/Ethan Banning dream alive. I'd had some positive talks with the new Ragnarok team when they took over, and felt like Ethan, at least, had a shot.
Now...now I don't know. In a way, the depression is helping me decide, because when I weigh up whether I have the energy right now to either self-publish AFTERLIFE, DEMONIZED, and UNDERTOW, or try to find new homes for them, the answer is hell no. I've been trying to keep the series afloat for a long time now, and honestly, whilst I love Ethan Banning to death, I'm basically flogging a dead horse at this point. Part of my heart will always tell me I need to go back and write more stories in this world, with these characters, but after years of telling myself "maybe," I think it's time to tell myself "no."
So that's that. As from December 1st, UNDERTOW will no longer be available. I will leave the Ethan Banning Files short stories available on Amazon and Smashwords, but AFTERLIFE and DEMONIZED will not be republished and I don't intend to write anymore books in this series.
Okay. That's it, really. I'm hoping to ease back into writing a bit at a time, and in my ideal world, I'll finish that Amber Morgan book before we take off to Japan at the end of December. Realistically, that probably isn't going to happen, but let's call it a soft goal. In the meantime, I'm off to check my jumper is on the right way round.

Duquesne University Featured in Princeton Review's Best 294 Business Schools
With a special emphasis on sustainability and business ethics, Duquesne University's John F. Donahue Graduate School of Business has been selected for the sixth time as one of the country's top schools by the Princeton Review's Best 294 Business Schools.
"We recommend Duquesne to readers of our book and users of our site, www.PrincetonReview.com, as one of the best institutions they could attend to earn an MBA," said Robert Franek, senior vice president-publisher.
The two-page profile about the University notes that "Duquesne is devoted to teaching and supporting ethical business practices" and offers graduate students the opportunity to spend semesters abroad in France, Colombia, Mexico, Japan, China, Belgium or Germany. It considers Duquesne's "star program" its award-winning, full-time, one year MBA Sustainability, though the school also offers part-time and evening opportunities. The University's convenient location for those working in or near the city is noted as well.
"Our programs, whether in the MBA Sustainability or in a traditional MBA program, consistently reflect the University's core values: a commitment to ethics, profitability, human and social capital," said Tom Nist, director of graduate programs. "Through our programs, students internalize how these four pillars are necessary to operating a successful business on a global level, where impacts and concerns can be so far-reaching."
Duquesne's "excellent reputation" draws a wide range of companies to events hosted by the University Career Services Center.
But the best of the program is in the classroom. The students are described as "enthusiastic, innovative, hard working, competitive and very smart;" small class sizes encourage student teamwork. Many students work part- or full-time and bring their diverse backgrounds into the classroom; professors provide "real-world application to the material."
Duquesne was selected, Franek said, "based on our high opinion of their academic programs and offerings, as well as our review of institutional data we collect from the schools. We also strongly consider the candid opinions of students attending the schools who rate and report on their campus experiences at their schools on our survey for the book."
The Best 294 Business Schools: 2012 Edition profiles cover academics, student life, and admissions, plus ratings for academics, selectivity and career placement services.

Embryos which are ready for transfer on Day 2 or 3 of development can undergo an additional procedure called Assisted Hatching (AH). The literature suggests that by using AH on embryos there may be an improvement in implantation on day 6 or 7 of development. AH is also part of the Preimplantation Genetic Screening (PGS) process, as it is necessary to create a hole in the embryo in order to remove a cell from the embryo for genetic screening.
Women who may benefit most from AH
- Women using their own eggs who are older than 38.
- Women who have had a history of failed IVF attempts using their own eggs.
- Women who have had a poor response to medication for an IVF cycle and only have 1 or two embryos for transfer.
- Women who are using embryos in a freeze / thaw cycle (FET).
When an embryo undergoes AH a hole is made in the zona pellucida or shell of the developing embryo. This can be accomplished by using a weak acid or laser.
The Acid Method
When AH is performed using a weak acid, the liquid is gently blown over a specific site on the surface of the embryo's shell. The acid will flow and fan out over the shell as the hole is made. This may expose the embryo to too much of the acid. The acid method may cause a larger opening that intended causing cells to be damaged or fall out of the shell.
The Laser Method
When AH is performed using a laser it does not have to be removed from its culture dish and placed in a separate "hatching plate". The laser is attached directly to the microscope as an objective. The embryo is positioned for AH and the laser is applied 2 or 3 times until a hole is made through the shell. There is no exposure to chemicals and the time the embryo spends outside the incubator is significantly less than when AH is performed using the Acid-Method.
We have provided the following article for your information regarding Assisted Hatching.
The role of assisted hatching in in-vitro fertilization: a review of the literature. A Committee opinion The Practice Committee of the Society for Assisted Reproductive Technologya and the Practice Committee of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine b
a Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology and b American Society for Reproductive Medicine, Birmingham, Alabama.
Hatching of the blastocyst is a critical step in the sequence of physiologic events culminating in implantation. Failure to hatch [due to intrinsic abnormalities in either the blastocyst or zona pellucida (ZP)] may be one of many factors limiting human reproductive efficiency. Assisted hatching involves the artificial thinning or breaching of the ZP and has been proposed as one technique to improve implantation and pregnancy rates following in vitro fertilization (IVF). An increased implantation rate following mechanical opening of the ZP (partial zona dissection-PZD) was first reported in 1990 (1). A randomized, prospective trial of selected assisted hatching 72 hours post-retrieval (zona drilling with acidified Tyrode's solution) suggested an improvement in implantation rates when the procedure was selectively applied to embryos with a "poor prognosis" (based on zona thickness, blastomere number, fragmentation rates, maternal age, etc.)(2). Since these early reports, many assisted reproductive technology (ART) programs have incorporated the use of assisted hatching in efforts to improve clinical outcomes. The assisted hatching procedure is generally performed on day 3 after fertilization using various methods. These include the creation of an opening in the zona either by drilling with acidified Tyrode's solution (3, 4), PZD with a glass microneedle (5), laser photoablation (6), or use of a piezo-micromanipulator (7). The ZP can be artificially thinned without breaching its integrity with proteolytic enzymes, acidified Tyrode's solution, or laser (8, 9). The assisted hatching procedure may be associated with specific complications independent of the IVF procedure itself, including lethal damage to the embryo and damage to individual blastomeres with reduction of embryo viability. In addition, artificial manipulation of the ZP has been associated with an increased risk of monozygotic twinning (10, 11). Patients whose embryos are hatched are often treated with antibiotics and steroids before and after embryo transfer, exposing them to the potential risks and side effects of such treatments. Success rates following the use of assisted hatching in different ART programs have varied considerably. However, differences in patient populations, operator experience, hatching technique, and study design make it difficult to compare directly reports from different centers. A comprehensive review and meta-analysis (12, 13) identified 23 randomized controlled trials involving 2,572 women undergoing assisted hatching during ART. Seven studies were identified in abstract form only and had not appeared in the peer-reviewed literature at the time of the review. Clinical pregnancy rates were evaluated in 19 trials (722 clinical pregnancies, 2,175 women) and demonstrated an improvement following assisted hatching (OR 1.63; 95% CI 1.27–2.09), but with significant heterogeneity. Subgroups of patients who demonstrated the greatest improvement in clinical pregnancy rates were those with prior failed ART cycles (OR 2.33; 95% CI 1.63–3.34) and older women. Only six of the studies included in the analysis (involving 523 women) reported live birth rates with and without assisted hatching (Table 1). Overall, live birth rates in the two groups were not different, although the various study populations were heterogeneous (OR 1.26; 95% CI 0.82–1.78). Assuming a delivery rate of 30% in the control group overall, a total of 720 patients would be required to detect a 10% difference in delivery rates between the two groups (P_.05). The numbers of live births reported in studies thus far therefore do not allow a confident conclusion regarding the clinical efficacy of assisted hatching procedures. Three studies (8, 9, 14) have evaluated the effects of different methods of assisted hatching, including acidified Tyrode's solution, thinning with proteolytic enzymes, mechanical dissection, and laser energy. Results have varied and likely reflect, at least in part, variations in the level of experience and hatching methods.
The available published evidence does not support the routine or universal application of assisted hatching in all IVF cycles at this time. Assisted hatching may be clinically useful in patients with a poor prognosis, including those with 2 failed IVF cycles and poor embryo quality and older women (38 years of age) (15). Higher clinical pregnancy and implantation rates have been observed after assisted hatching. However, delivery rates have not significantly improved, possibly because the small sample sizes in studies reporting delivery rates have lacked sufficient power to detect a difference. Individual ART programs should evaluate their own unique patient populations to determine which subgroup(s) of patients, if any, may benefit from assisted hatching.

Good news this week for those of us with persistent memory problems. According to new research out of Europe, moderately strenuous exercise actually improves ... what were we talking about again?
We kid you. We are kidders. Trace Dominguez remembers everything in today's DNews dispatch.
The gist: A new study published in the journal Current Biology suggests that regular exercise consistently improves long-term memory. Scientists have suspected as much for a while, but the new data suggests some interesting specifics.
The experiment worked like this: Researchers at Radboud University in the Netherlands gathered three groups of random participants and had each study a set of images. The first group did a moderately strenuous 35-minute workout immediately after the assessment. The second group, meanwhile, did the same exercise routine four hours later. The third group did not exercise at all. Two days later, all participants were brought back to the lab and tested on their recall of the image sets.
RELATED: How Exercise Can Improve Your Sex Life
It turns out that the second group was able to recall more images than either of the other groups. This is significant in that it confirms some hypotheses. We know that the brain releases certain chemicals during exercise, like dopamine and noradrenaline, that act as neurotransmitters. When those chemicals are in the brain, it's believed that newly acquired information is easier to retain.
That four-hour delay is critical, though. The participants in the first group (who worked out immediately after the test) scored the same as those who didn't work out at all. This suggests that your ability to retain information depends on both if you work out and when you work out. Since the brain chemicals had a beneficial effect several hours after the memory test, it suggests that regular exercise can help nail down long-term memories during that critical period when they otherwise drift away.
Trace has more details in his report, along with the usual procession of helpful visual aids. For some unfortunate science on a on a related topic, check out our earlier report on why sex doesn't really count as exercise.

DC Comics has announced a new Superman title from Scott Snyder and Jim Lee.
The long-rumoured project was confirmed at New York Comic Con for a 2013 debut, although the title was not revealed.
"I would say with my co-publisher hat on looking into 2013, it's Superman's 75th anniversary," Lee told Comic Book Resources. "So we wanted to do a lot of great things with Superman in the coming year and expand the number of books we put out under his name.
"From an artist's point of view, I always want to work with the writers I admire. I've been following Scott's work on American Vampire where I actually did the variant for the first issue, and I followed him straight through to Batman where I loved the way he introduced new mythology and made it seem so seamless and like it'd been there forever."
Artist Bryan Hitch seemingly confirmed the team-up earlier in the week, although it is yet to be confirmed that the series will operate under the rumoured Man of Steel title.
Action Comics will be receiving a new creative team of Andy Diggle and Tony S Daniel.

Vocabulary hand-off - students can start with a plate and all the corresponding clothes pins. Once they match all the clothespins up, they remove them and pass the entire plate and clothes pin set to the next person to do it. Thus, vocabulary is circulating around the room and students can even start racing to see how fast they can hand off their plate.
Vocabulary race - all the clothespins are placed in a bucket in a central location. Teams start with the same number of plates. Students must take turns and send one person at a time to get a clothes pin and put it on the team's plate. Whoever can fill their plates first (or, whichever students get the most pins in a certain amount of time) wins.
Vocabulary sentences - Students are given strips of paper with English sentences on them. Students create a chain of clothespins by clipping one onto the end of the other to create the entire sentence. The final clothespin clips onto the piece of paper with the English sentence on it (you could hang the sentence chains from a string or wire clothes hanger).
Sentence creation - I'll remove all the clothespins with nouns. Students create sentences by clipping them onto popsicle sticks in an order that creates a comprehensible sentence. They can fill in the nouns by writing them on pieces of paper and sliding them into the clothespins.
Those are just a few ideas I came up with off the top of my head. What ideas do you have for using Spanish clothespins?
UPDATE: Another cool idea someone suggested after posting this was to put a clothespin on each desk with a sheet of paper. Students visit different desks and write an original sentence using the vocabulary word on the corresponding paper. Then, everyone returns to their desks and read the sentences. They pick their favorite one and share it with the class. Afterward, papers and clothespins can be hung up in the classroom for all students to read one another's sentences.

[regression] Wired ethernet (VIA VT6102 Rhine II) and Wireless (RaLink 2500) no longer work under 6.06 (needs acpi=noirq blacklisting)

Bug Description
I have installed Dapper on an Averatec 3250HX-01, and the networking does not work (ie. nothing but the machine's own IP can even be pinged), despite being recognized and setup.
This laptop has a Via VT6102 networking chipset (Rhine II) and a RaLink RT2500 wireless chipset.
If I try to 'bounce' (disable and then enable) the wired (or wireless) ethernet using the 'Networking' program, the machine locks up.
dmesg indicates there is some kind of IRQ conflict (both the wired and wireless chipsets are assigned to IRQ 11).
Wired networking works perfectly under Breezy (I verified this by booting from a Breezy LiveCD) despite the same conflict. Furthermore, under Breezy the video chipset is *also* assigned to IRQ 11, so this may be a red-herring.
A helpful soul on #ubuntu suggested I try adding pci=routeirq to the boot params, but this did nothing.
Please note the attachments to this bug, which now include (from Dapper, unless otherwise noted) dmesg output, 'lspci -vv output', and 'cat /proc/interrupts' output, from both my 3250HX-01 laptop as well as Centaur5's 3225HS-20 laptop, which has identical networking chipsets and identical symptoms.
Also attached is some output from Breezy, under which the networking works correctly, unlike Dapper.
This is the output of dmesg on my Averatec 3250-HX-01.
This is the output of lspci on my Averatec 3250HX-01.

This is the output from dmesg
|Centaur5 (djacks555) wrote :
This is the output from dmesg on my Averatec 3225HS-20
I upgraded from Breezy to Dapper and immediately after rebooting the network devices no longer worked. Using the VIA 6102 I can get an IP address from my router or use static but either way I can't ping the router or the outside. If I try to restart the network device then the laptop freezes.
I tried to start the wireless but it locks up the machine immediately. It often locks up when I'm trying to input the wireless essid into the network manager. Setting up the wireless connection via iwconfig and then using ifconfig to start the device causes an immediate freeze.

Output of lspci -vv on my Averatec 3225HS-20
Output of cat /proc/interrupts on my Averatec 3225HS-20
This is the 'lspci -vv' output under breezy on an Averatec 3250HX-01. The only notable difference from Dapper (to my inexpert eyes) is that the S3 video chipset *also* gets IRQ 11 (instead of IRQ 9), for a total of three devices assigned to that IRQ (lines 24, 116, and 126). For whatever reason, this does not seem to cause any problems under Breezy, so perhaps the IRQ collision issue is a red herring.
This is the output from dmesg under Breezy on an Averatec 3250HX-01. Hopefully it holds some clue as to why networking doesn't work under Dapper but does under Breezy.

A lot of the ralink drivers are not compatible with preempt, which is most apparent when "bouncing" (up->down->up) the interface causes a kernel panic.

John, Please note that the problem happens even when 'bouncing' eth0 (the Via VT6102), not just the RT2500. And when Centaur5 tried blacklisting the RT2500 module on his 3225HS-20, the problem still occurred.

Paul asked what the exact reproducible steps are to duplicate the crash. This had been described in general terms earlier, but here it is:
1) Go to 'System > Administration > Networking'.
'Networking' GUI comes up.
2) Click either the wireless (ra0) or wired (eth0) interfaces to select it.
Interface is selected.
3) Click 'Deactivate' button.
Selected interface is disabled (greyed out) in the GUI.
4) Click 'Activate' button.
'Spinner' mouse cursor starts after the click, but then the screen freezes (the animated cursor even stops in mid-spin), and no further interaction with the laptop is possible by keyboard or mouse.
At this point, I have tried switching to a virtual terminal (by ctrl-alt-F1, for example), retsarting X by ctrl-alt-backspace, and rebooting by ctrl-alt-delete. Nothing works, the screen remains frozen, and the only option is to power down the laptop and reboot.
|Michael R. Bernstein (webmaven) wrote : Re: [regression] Laptop freezes if the NIC (VIA VT6102 Rhine II) is 'bounced'
If anyone wants a non-GUI test procedure, the following reproduces the problem:
1) sudo ifdown eth0
2) sudo ifup eth0
Result: screen freezes and no further interaction with the laptop is possible by keyboard or mouse.

I adjusted the titles of all attachements to be more informative.

Network now is no longer accessible to pings.

Further investigation shows that the drm and via modules are loaded by X and not unloaded afterwards. However, manually unloading these modules after stopping X is not enough to prevent the crash.

Ben Collins noted that the screenshot above showed the ralink driver crashing, despite the fact that it is eth0 that is being 'bounced', so I did the following:
0) boot in recovery mode
1) ifconfig
Output shows only eth0 and lo

Followup - Continuing the above test as follows provokes the crash again:

Result: system crash, as before
|Michael R. Bernstein (webmaven) wrote :
Followup to the followup:
OK, looks like I overlooked something. running dhclient by itself implicitly target the ra0 interface *if it is available*.
Explicitly running 'dhclient eth0', does not provoke a crash under recovery mode, even after running X, even if the rt2500 module is loaded.
|Michael R. Bernstein (webmaven) wrote : Re: [regression] Wired ethernet (VIA VT6102 Rhine II) and Wireless (RaLink 2500) no longer work under 6.06
Worth noting as a further followup:
Although the crash seems to be dependent on the presence of the rt2500 module when in recovery mode, this is not the case when booting normally.
When booting normally, whether the rt2500 module is loaded or not, 'bouncing' the eth0 interface (whether from the GUI or the CLI) will lock the machine as previously described.
However, it does now appear that the ping/DHCP failure is connected somehow to running X, since that is what provokes that failure under recovery mode.

Just like to chime in here briefly. I also own an Averatec laptop (3250, I think) and am experiencing the same issue with ethernet in dapper.
However, the ethernet will work properly (even after loading X) if I disable ACPI in grub (adding "acpi=off" to the end of the boot command). Of course this is a suboptimal solution but I hope that helps someone fix this, as I know very little about linux myself.

Paul, I can confirm that adding 'acpi=noirq' to entries in /boot/grub/menu.lst eliminates both ethernet problems (ie. both the inability to use the network and the system freeze when bouncing an interface), for both the 2.6.15 and 2.6.17 kernels (the latter provided by Ben Collins for testing) on my 3250HX-01.
Chuck, can you explain what you mean by 'blacklisting' the motherboard?

Centaur5, please:
1) check whether the 'acpi=noirq' fix works for your Averatec 3225HS-20
2) Post the output of 'cat /var/lib/

I just confirmed my laptop to be a 3225HS (from Averatec's website), the same as Centaur5's, and am attaching my dmidecode output.

I originally reported this in #34958. I can confirm the acpi=noirq option in the appropriate menu.lst entry works. However current ISOs do not include this fix, which makes it very difficult for a new user to update their system unless they are aware of this bug report and read it completely. Is there a better way to let Averatec owners know about this ?
The blacklisting is now automatic, but only after applying a kernel upgrade. So, basically, if one has an Averatec 3250HX-01 like me, they have to first manually modify the menu.lst entry for the kernel they load and add the acpi=noirq option to enable network access, and apply current updates to the kernel.

What do you get when you combine a "living national treasure" and 35-year-old whisky? A bill for 1,000,000 yen (about $12,000).
Nicholas Coldicott (Twitter) alerted us to an article in the Asahi Shimbun about another of Suntory`s high-end flights of fancy: 35-year-old Hibiki blended whisky sold in Kakiemon pottery made by the 14th Sakaida Kakiemon (the previously mentioned national treasure; this Wikipedia article has information about the start of that line).
The bottle depicts azaleas on a textured, milky white finish and contains whisky ranging in age from 35-46 years (46 per cent alcohol). There are only 150 bottles and they are going for 1,000,000 apiece, but the article says Suntory expect to be sold out within the week.
Suntory have a tradition of putting their best whisky in the best of bottles. There are big displays of similar past bottlings at the Yamazaki distillery (here is a press release for a 2002 release, also priced at 1,000,000 yen.)
For more information on the Kakiemon bottling, see the Suntory press release. The Asahi article says the whisky has fruity, honeyed and vanilla characteristics.

LeBron James | Did Not Play *Out For 2 Weeks*
Shorthanded already, the Cavaliers entered their game against the Philadelphia Sixers having Dion Waiters pulled at the last minute for a trade that would involve the Cavaliers receiving J.R. Smith, Iman Shumpert and a 2015 first round pick. Lou Amundson and Alex Kirk were also dealt in the three team trade.
Coasting with a 17 point lead, the Cavaliers would hit a cold streak that would give the Sixers the life they needed to come back. In the final seconds of the game, Dellavedova would miss two key free throws to extend the Cavaliers' lead, and the Sixers would go on to hit the game-winning shot defeating the Cavaliers 95 - 92.
Another day of rest for the Cavaliers as the new-look Cavs will now return home to host the Houston Rockets on January 7th at 7:00 PM on FOX Sports Ohio. — Read more about the Cavaliers' loss here.

Our Prayer Requests
It is important for Christians to remember the admonition of the Apostle Paul through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit to pray "for kings, and all that are in authority" (I Timothy 2:1-2). Despite the disappointment or excitement we might experience about the men and women God has raised up to lead our nation, we should pray for our President and all our congressional, state, and local officials; that they would serve our nation with wisdom and integrity so that each of us "may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty." (I Timothy 2:2).
II Chronicles 7:14 – "If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive there sins, and will heal their land."
Luke 18:1 – "…men ought always to pray and not to faint"
James 5:16 – "The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much."
Specific Prayer Requests:
1. Pray for the new leadership in Congress to have discernment and perseverance to make progress on conservative issues.
2. Pray for all those who stand for the right to life to have courage to defend the rights of the unborn.
3. Pray for the decisions coming out of the Supreme Court to be positive for social conservatives.
4. Pray specifically that God would provide the right candidate for president for the 2016 presidential election.
5. Pray for the peace of Israel.

Things to do in London
Location : London, England, tube zones 1-3
As our kids have got that little bit older, trips to London are a breeze and really enjoyable for Josh and Emma. Being close to London, we tend to drive into town on a Sunday and spend all day running around parks, tourist attractions, boat trips and museums before grabbing some dinner and heading home exhausted.
The Sunday trip to London has become a bit of an institution in our family now. There are not enough weekends in the year to do everything we want to do in the city though. Travelling up there on a Sunday is a breeze.The traffic is light and you can find places to park for free (check out parkapedia.co.uk) in the residential areas. The trains are also quiet if you don't want to drive.
Toy shops, aquariums and attractions
We normally get the all-day / all zone tube (London Underground) tickets to get around. The kids go free on the tubes on a Sunday so for around £20, you have unlimited use of the underground network for a family of four. We use this to visit the London Eye, the London Aquarium, Hamleys (giant toy shop), Harrods and to explore further afield for dinner.
If you have Merlin passes (we get these free via Nectar points) the London Eye, Aquarium, Madame Tussauds and London Dungeons are all free to get into. If you mix this with a free dinner for everyone at Pizza Express courtesy of Tesco Clubcard vouchers or Nectar rewards you really are onto a cheap day out. Check out this post for more details on using loyalty cards for free stuff.
Use your smart phones to locate restaurants. Google maps makes it so easy to find the popular places, Pizza Express, Wagamamas, Yo Sushi, Pizza Hut McDonalds, Costa and Starbucks. All totally kid friendly.
Bus tours, boat rides and The Tower
Give the open-top bus tours a go if you want to see more. You can jump on and off of these if you wish, using them as a way of getting around between places or do as we did, sit there relaxing and enjoy a couple of hours of seeing all the great sites pass by from the comfort of your seat. The commentary was great and I finally got to see all the tourist attractions in one day. We used "The Original London Sightseeing Tour" company.
Last time we were up in London we went to see the poppies that filled the moat around the Tower of London in remembrance of the sacrifices in World War One. We have also discovered trails around some of the artistic seats that have been created to celebrate some of the great children's books of the last century. There has even been a trail of painted life-size cows dotted around the city. There always seems to be some sort of on-street trail to discover. Add this to a walk around Hyde Park and pasta for dinner and you have yourself a full day.
If you want another example of a great day's itinerary, start at Hyde Park catching the tube down the Embankment Pier where we jumped on the river boat service and sailed down to Greenwich. This is a superb way to see the city from a different angle and take in some of the river history. At Greenwich we visited the historic market where the food stalls sell all manner of exotic food. After lunch we jumped on board the Cutty Sark which is dry-docked near the river Thames. The kids enjoyed discovering the history and exploring this massive ship. Standing on the deck it's easy to imagine you are sailing up the Thames with a hull full of tea from India. We used the tube day ticket to return to the car after dinner at the Greenwich.
Great museums with plenty for the kids
A considerable amount of the museums in London open their doors for free which makes it ideal for shorter visits with younger kids, without worrying about getting your moneys worth. Here are what we have checked out.
The Natural History Museum
Our first trip to London was to the Natural history museum. This can be a day trip in itself due to the amount of stuff in there. We tend to have a few hours in the museum then head the few hundred metres north to Hyde Park to break the day up.
The enormous collection of dinosaurs fascinates my two, especially the animatronic full size T-rex guarding the exit of the exhibition. The large display of full-size animals (whales, elephants, buffalo etc.) is a real eye opener too. The rest of the museum has all manner of animal displays, fossils, science exhibits and aquarium. Josh and Emma love it so much we re-visit it every six months or so.
When the weather is good we walk from the museum to Hyde Park for a walk or skate around. We have taken the kids in-lines and scooters a couple of times. It's safe and mostly flat to zoom around. You can walk around the lake located to the west end of the park and even try the pedalo hire if you want to take to the water.
The Imperial War Museum
Not one for the pacifists out there but a fascinating part of UK history. This is another great museum,this time with rockets, World War Two aeroplanes, guns and a spy exhibition. There is even a mini submarine and a mock up of the nuclear bomb they dropped on Hiroshima.
The re-creation of the WWII war front, the mock houses and air raid shelters give the kids a great view into 1940's Britain.
The cafe sells the usual cake, kids cheese sandwiches and quiche. The Americans out there reading this may be a little disappointed with the food choice so it's best to save yourself for lunch elsewhere.
The Science Museum
This is a mixture of everything science. There is so much here my kids always find something of interest. The space exhibits always go down well, especially the full size lunar lander and finding out how astronauts pee in space. You will also find exhibits on communications, early computing, biology, physics, chemistry, engineering and the environment. This might all sound a little dull, but the sheer amount of physical stuff in there fascinates my kids. They walk around constantly looking wide-eyed and saying "what's that? what's this?". There is a lot for one day, but being free, it's great to call in for a couple of hours then head off to some of the other sights. Any longer and the kids suffer museum fatigue.

So i was looking on the website Allrecipes.com today, just to see if there were any that looked good, and i came across this little gem:
INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)
* 2 slices bread
* 2 tablespoons butter, divided
* 2 slices processed American cheese
1. Heat a small skillet to medium high heat. Spread a thin layer of butter on one side of both bread slices; place one slice bread, buttered-side-down, in hot skillet. Immediately place both cheese slices on bread and cover with second bread slice, butter-side-up. When first side is browned, turn over and brown other side. Remove from heat and let cool 2 to 3 minutes before serving.
Now i don't know about you, but a regular grilled cheese sandwich really, REALLY isn't that special. I found the recipe, the SAME recipe, i shouldn't even call it a recipe, the same technique of making a grilled cheese sandwich 4...yes FOUR times on the site. Who in the world needs to look up how to make a grilled cheese sandwich?? I found this amusing.

Local Issues Echuca Moama Bridge
Walsh Leads Ministerial Delegation on Bridge
14 June 2015
The Leader of The Nationals and Member for Murray Plains Peter Walsh MP led a bridge deputation to Minister for Roads Luke Donnellan MP at Parliament House on Thursday 11th June 2015.
"The second river crossing at Echuca Moama has always been a top priority for The Nationals," Mr Walsh said.
Prior to the November 2014 election the Liberal Nationals Coalition committed $96 million for the bridge. The money was included in the pre-election Budget Update and is therefore built into the forward estimates and included in this year's Budget.
"I have given the Melbourne Labor Government the courtesy of time to settle into government but that time is now up and the community is looking for answers on this desperately needed major infrastructure project for northern Victoria." Mr Walsh said.
Attending the deputation were Mr Jason Russell CEO Shire of Campaspe, Cr Leigh Wilson Mayor Shire of Campaspe, and Mr Mal Kersting Northern Regional Manager VicRoads.
The Environmental Effects Statement (EES) and Review of Environmental Factors (REV) were scheduled to go on public exhibition for a period of 30 days by March 2015, but this process is currently being held up by the NSW State Government who have yet to resolve an issue regarding squirrel gliders.
"The deputation impressed on the Minister the need to get the EES process completed as soon as possible and move forward to the next step," Mr Walsh said.
"I am in no doubt that the Minister understood our message and he has given an undertaking to contact the NSW Minister for Roads Maritime and Freight to to seek his co-operation and commitment to completing the process as a matter of priority." Mr Walsh said.
The deputation also raised with the Minister the dangers of the unsafe intersection of Murray Valley Highway and Warren Street and emphasized the need to build the roundabout now as the first step to the bridge works.
"It is not an option to wait for the final bridge solution, " Mr Walsh said.
"I will continue to work with the Shire of Campaspe to keep the pressure on the Melbourne Labor Government in relation to these two critically important projects," he said.

In interactive UI applications, state is continually changing in response to user actions and application events. ReactiveUI enables you to express changes to application state as streams of values and combine and manipulate them using the powerful Reactive Extensions library.
The motivation is intuitive enough when you think about it. It's not hard to imagine that changes to a property can be considered events - that's how
INotifyPropertyChanged works. From there, the same argument for using Rx over events applies. In the context of MVVM application design specifically, modelling property changes as observables leads to several advantages:
- The logic of an application can be defined in terms of changes to properties
- This logic can be composed and expressed declaratively, using the power of Rx operators
- Concepts like time and asynchronicity become easier to reason about, due to their first-class treatment in an Observable context.
ReactiveUI provides several variants of
WhenAny to help you work with properties as an observable stream.
Basic syntax
The following examples demonstrate simple uses of
WhenAnyValue, the
WhenAny variant you are likely to use most frequently.
Watching single property
This returns an observable that yields the current value of Foo each time it changes:
this.WhenAnyValue(x => x.Foo)
Watching a number of properties
This returns an observable that yields a new
Color with the latest RGB values each time any of the properties change. The final parameter is a selector describing how to combine the three observed properties:
this.WhenAnyValue(x => x.Red, x => x.Green, x => x.Blue,
(r, g, b) => new Color(r, g, b));
Watching a nested property
WhenAny variants can observe nested properties for changes, too:
this.WhenAnyValue(x => x.Foo.Bar.Baz);
Idiomatic usage
Naturally, once you have an observable of property changes you can
Subscribe to it in order to perform actions in response to the changed values. However, in many cases there may be a Better Way to achieve what you want. Below are some typical usages of the observables returned by the
WhenAny variants:
Exposing 'calculated' properties
In general, using
Subscribe on a
WhenAny observable (or any observable, for that matter) just to set a property is likely a code smell. Idiomatically, the
ToProperty operator is used to create a 'read-only' calculated property that can be exposed to the rest of your application, only settable by the
WhenAny chain that preceded it:
this.WhenAnyValue(x => x.SearchText, x => x.Length)
.ToProperty(this, x => x.SearchTextLength, out _searchTextLength);
This initialises the
SearchTextLength property (an ObservableAsPropertyHelper property) as a property that will be updated with the current search text length every time it changes. The property cannot be set in any other manner and raises change notifications, so can itself be used in a
WhenAny expression or a binding.
See the ObservableAsPropertyHelper section for more information on this pattern.
Supporting validation as a
CanExecute criteria
WhenAny can make specifying and adhering to validation logic clean and simple. Here,
WhenAnyValue is used to observe the changing values of the
Username and
Password fields, and project whether the current pair of values is valid. This becomes the
canExecute parameter for
CreateUserCommand, preventing the user from proceeding until the validation conditions are met.
var canCreateUser = this.WhenAnyValue(
x => x.Username, x => x.Password,
(user, pass) =>
!string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(user) &&
!string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(pass) &&
user.Length >= 3 &&
pass.Length >= 8)
CreateUserCommand = ReactiveCommand.CreateFromTask(canCreateUser, CreateUser);
Invoking commands
Commands are often bound to buttons or controls in the view that can be triggered by the user. However, it often makes sense to perform work in response to changes in property values. For example, a 'live search' feature may be designed to perform searches as the user types into a textbox, after a small delay is detected.
WhenAny in conjunction with the
InvokeCommand operator can be used to achieve this.
// In the ViewModel.
this.WhenAnyValue(x => x.SearchText)
.Where(x => !String.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(x))
// In the View.
this.Bind(ViewModel, x => x.SearchText, x => x.SearchTextField.Text);
In addition to being able to simply and declaratively handle search throttling, building the search execution logic on top of the property change has made it easy to keep all the logic in the viewmodel - all the view needs to do is bind a control to the property.
Performing view-specific transforms as an input to
Ideally, controls on your view bind directly to properties on your viewmodel. In cases where you need to convert a viewmodel value to a view-specific value (e.g.
bool to
Visibility), you should register a
BindingConverter. Still, you may come across a situation in which you want to perform a transformation in the view directly. Here, we observe the
ShowToolTip property of the viewmodel, transform the
false values to
1 and
0 respectively, then bind the result to the
ToolTipLabel's alpha property.
// In the View.
ViewModel.WhenAny(x => x.ShowToolTip)
.Select(show => show ? 1f : 0f)
.BindTo(this, x => x.ToolTipLabel.Alpha);
Variants of
Several variants of
WhenAny exist, suited for different scenarios.
WhenAny vs WhenAnyValue
WhenAnyValue covers the most common usage of
WhenAny, and is a useful shortcut in many cases. The following two statements are equivalent and return an observable that yields the updated value of
SearchText on every change:
this.WhenAny(x => x.SearchText, x => x.Value)
this.WhenAnyValue(x => x.SearchText)
When needing to observe one or many properties for changes,
WhenAnyValue is quick to type and results in simpler looking code. Working with
WhenAny directly gives you access to the
ObservedChange<,> object that ReactiveUI produces on each property change. This is typically useful for framework code or extension methods.
ObservedChange exposes the following properties:
Value- the updated value
Sender- the object whose has property changed
Expression- the expression that changed.
At the risk of extreme repetition - use
WhenAnyValue unless you know you need
WhenAnyObservable acts a lot like the Rx operator
CombineLatest, in that it watches one or multiple observables and allows you to define a projection based on the latest value from each.
WhenAnyObservable differs from
CombineLatest in that its parameters are expressions, rather than direct references to the target observables. The impact of this difference is that the watch set up by
WhenAnyObservable is not tied to the specific observable instances present at the time of subscription. That is, the observable pointed to by the expression can be replaced later, and the results of the new observable will still be captured.
An example of where this can come in handy is when a view wants to observe an observable on a viewmodel, but the viewmodel can be replaced during the view's lifetime. Rather than needing to resubscribe to the target observable after every change of viewmodel, you can use
WhenAnyObservable to specify the 'path' to watch. This allows you to use a single subscription in the view, regardless of the life of the target viewmodel.
Additional Considerations
WhenAny variants is fairly straightforward. However, there are a few aspects of their behaviour that are worth highlighting.
INotifyPropertyChanged is required
Watched properties must implement ReactiveUI's
RaiseAndSetIfChanged or raise the standard
INotifyPropertyChanged events. If you attempt to use
WhenAny on a property without either of these in place,
WhenAny will produce the current value of the property upon subscription, and nothing thereafter. Additionally, a warning will be issued at run time (ensure you have registered a service for

WhenAny has cold observable and behavioural semantics
WhenAny is a purely cold Observable, which eventually directly connects to UI component events. For events such as
DependencyProperties, this could potentially be a minor place to optimize, via
Publish. When chaining to
ToProperty (another cold operator), the target
ObservableAsPropertyHelper must be read (
.Value) or observed (e.g. used in a binding or used as part of another
WhenAny with a subscription), for any part of the chain to execute.
WhenAny always provides you with the current value as soon as you subscribe to it - in this sense it is effectively a
WhenAny will not propagate
NullReferenceExceptions within the watched expression
WhenAny will only send notifications if reading the given expression would not throw a
NullReferenceException. Consider the following code:
this.WhenAny(x => x.Foo.Bar.Baz, _ => "Hello!")
.Subscribe(x => Console.WriteLine(x));
// Example 1
this.Foo.Bar.Baz = null;
>>> Hello!
// Example 2: Nothing printed!
this.Foo.Bar = null;
// Example 3
this.Foo.Bar = new Bar() { Baz = "Something" };
>>> Hello!
In Example 1, even though
Bazis null, because the expression could be evaluated, you get a notification.
In Example 2 however, evaluating this.Foo.Bar.Baz wouldn't give you null, it would crash.
WhenAnytherefore suppresses any notifications from being generated. Setting
Barto a new value generates a new notification.
WhenAny only notifies on change of the output value
WhenAny only tells you when the final value of the input expression has changed. This is true even if the resulting change is because of an intermediate value in the expression chain. Here's an explaining example:
this.WhenAny(x => x.Foo.Bar.Baz, _ => "Hello!")
.Subscribe(x => Console.WriteLine(x));
// Example 1
this.Foo.Bar.Baz = "Something";
>>> Hello!
// Example 2: Nothing printed!
this.Foo.Bar.Baz = "Something";
// Example 3: Still nothing
this.Foo.Bar = new Bar() { Baz = "Something" };
// Example 4: The result changes, so we print
this.Foo.Bar = new Bar() { Baz = "Else" };
>>> Hello!
Notably, in Example 3, even though the intermediate
Bar object was replaced with a new instance, no change is fired - as the result of the full
Foo.Bar.Baz expression has not changed.
null propogation inside
WhenAnyValue is not directly able to perform null propogation due to the fact Expression's don't support this feature yet.
You can simulate null propogation support by chaining your WhenAnyValue() call to each property along the way. Here's an example:
this.WhenAnyValue(x => x.Foo, x => x.Foo.Bar, x => x.Foo.Bar.Baz, (foo, bar, baz) => foo?.Bar?.Baz)
.Subscribe(x => Console.WriteLine(x));
