The University of Hartford will commemorate World AIDS Day by bringing the "AIDS Chair" exhibit to campus on Thursday, Nov. 29. Eighty-eight AIDS chairs will be displayed in the shape of an AIDS ribbon on the lawn outside the Gengras Student Union Building from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. The chairs themselves are designed to look like AIDS ribbons.
Creators of The AIDS Chairs say they are "symbols of the urgent need to re-engage and re-energize the AIDS movement. The Red Ribbon shape pays homage to the iconic symbol of solidarity, pain, struggle, commitment, and shared sense of urgency which typified the early years of the AIDS movement, and is intended as a visual reminder of the critical discussions and hard work still needing to be done to end the crisis."
World AIDS Day is held on Dec. 1 each year and is an opportunity for people worldwide to unite in the fight against HIV/AIDS, show their support for people living with HIV/AIDS, and to commemorate those who have died.

A man suspected of killing one woman and injuring another was taken to the hospital in critical condition after he was shot by police in Denver Friday morning.
The unidentified suspect was seen standing in the middle of the street, holding a long gun, and fired at propane tanks laced with gunpowder when police approached him.
"Officers responded to the scene and approached what they thought was a possible suspect," said Denver Police Chief Richard White. "As they were approaching the suspect fired one shot at what looked like a makeshift incendiary device which was activated."
Police said the gunman called the police himself, hoping to get involved in a shootout.
After the suspect blew up one of the propane tanks, police shot him in the chest, sending him to the hospital in critical condition.
No one was injured when one tank exploded. The other did not detonate.
"There are several potential incendiary devices in the area," White said. "We evacuated the area to make sure no one was in harm's way and the bomb squad is actively trying to mitigate those devices."
One woman was found dead and another was shot in the leg.
Denver police tweeted at 11:16 a.m. local time the shooter was "down," then searched the area for other explosives.

Millennium Student Center Home Page
Fall 2000 students were the first to use this 170,000-square foot center. The design includes a four-story rotunda, a third-floor gallery with clerestory windows, and a climate-controlled pedestrian bridge leading to the academic quadrangle. In addition, there is a fireside social lounge, a quiet study lounge, a student art gallery, a large tiered meeting chamber, an expanse of first-class conference areas, twin television lounges, a game room and a cyber lab.
Students asked for a "one-stop shopping" building with a consolidation of all student services and functions under one roof. Accommodating this request, the following departments, previously scattered around the campus are conveniently located in the Millennium Student Center: Center for Student Success, Student Activities, Student Government, Student Organizations, Admissions, Registration, Financial Aid, Cashiers, Degree Audit, Career Services, Graduate Admissions, Multi-Cultural Relations, Health, Wellness & Counseling Services, Disability Access Services, Food Services, Bookstore, Convenience Store and a full service bank.
Food Services
The Millennium Student Center has a food venue on each level. The first floor features The NOSH food court where students enjoy a variety of foods in a relaxed, friendly dining experience. The second floor is the location for Aroma's bakery and coffee shop and the convenience store for those students who want to grab and go. Catering is located on the third floor.
Bookstore and Computer Shop
The University-owned-and-operated Bookstore is the headquarters for textbooks, reference materials, general reading books, supplies, gifts, and logo items.

CPU power saving done correctly
Hey! I installed OpenBSD 4.8 on my laptop (Asus K50AB) and among the things I'm interested in is this power saving feature. I did not manage to make it work but before reporting to the devs, I'd like to know if I've done everything correctly, because I have no idea whether my hardware is not supported (yet) and it should not work or I missed something from the documentation (and web discussions).
So, I understand that all I need to do is to configure the apmd_flags option in rc.conf, which I set to "-C" (economic). Other than that, I disabled the daemon and tried to lower hw.setperf manually. Nothing worked (checked the cpu frequency with $ apm), as far as I understand, I should have seen an apm* device in dmesg.
My questions are:
- based on this information, is my hardware power-saving unsupported by the system?
- could I try something else that might work? (like enabling some option at boot time, building a custom configured kernel - with something like "asus acpi", changing a certain sysconfig option or enabling something like hal)
- if this tells you something, I used to set this option on FreeBSD, months ago, for CPU frequency scaling to work: hint.acpi_throttle.0.disabled="1". It worked without touching it in one version but not in a newer one (I forgot the numbers, I think 8.0 release was working and stable was broken, needing that tweak).
- I did not yet tried to check for the availability of the following option in config, which I just found while I'm not on obsd: acpiasus. I have the feeling that this is not the trick, though.
The userland apmd(8) daemon uses the /dev/apm, /dev/apmctl devices to communicate power management events even if the kernel is using acpi(4) instead of legacy apm(4) (..most newer systems lack this now, it was a "specification" implemented by the BIOS).
It's just an instance of API reuse, this also allowed for the apmd(8)/apm(8) tools to be used on platforms like the ARM-based "Sharp Zaurus".
If manually setting the hw.setperf sysctl doesn't affect CPU speed, or simply doesn't exist, frequency scaling is not yet supported on your system.
For suspend functionality, you can use the apm/zzz(8) utility to attempt it.. or toggle machdep.lidsuspend and try simply closing/opening the lid.
Posting a dmesg along with sysctl output might help more, but there isn't much more we can do.
Thanks for clarifying this to me, guys! Certainly, here you have the dmesg+sensors, for the sake of information:

I'm more interested into the CPU scaling stuff, rather than other ACPI magic, because of the power consumption I basically can't use my laptop on OpenBSD. But thanks for the suggestion, I definitely will try -current.
@BSDfan666: I don't currently have the sysctl output saved around, if you really think it's further relevant or wish to study it, I'll post it, the next time I get on OpenBSD.
Thank you!
Yes, sending a bug report might be a good idea.. I believe that the K10 and newer series of processors aren't supported by the frequency scaling code, this information is grokked from the ACPI tables.
Likewise, the developers are more interested in the behavior of -current as the HEAD of CVS is the source base which will become OpenBSD 4.9.
Awesome, thanks for the link, it takes a while until someone knows what is where.
Makes sense and noted.

I noticed a very similar thing on my 2012 11m North Rebel , I wish i had taken a picture of it before i sold itxray wrote:Hi All,
End of august last year picked up two new Fuses 2011, latest model at that point.
Very nice kite, all-round, good lowend, good high end, nice turning, good hang time, great quality bar. On the riding side nothing wrong, very good kite overall and still love it.
On the quality side however it's a different story. Last saturday, well less than a year later including a quite severe winter so not that much riding on the kite, I unpacked my kite and encountered a major flaw. They overlooked to place a patch on the 10m on the place where the bridle line runs over the leading edge. The consequence is that I now have an almost brand new kite where the bridle line has almost entirely cut the leading edge. Pure luck that the kite didn't explode yet. On both sides of the kite the same issue. Immediately checked my 7m as well but that one was ok having a patch on the right spot.
End of the story? Really nice kite, check the flaw before you get into trouble!

Musharraf Indicted in Bhutto Assassination
Former President Pervez Musharraf was charged with the killing of Benazir Bhutto, his worst legal setback yet that quashes expectations of a deal to release him. Peter Saidel reports on The News Hub. Photo: AP.

Justin Bieber's Believe drops
Justin Bieber released his record Believe on Tuesday, which was immediately followed by an outbreak of Bieber fever. No one was safe, including Manhattan borough president Scott M. Stringer, who announced that Tuesday was to be known as Justin Bieber Appreciation Day. The ladies of The View and their teenage audience became faint when Biebs performed, and even Jimmy Fallon hallucinated a bit. Just in case you haven't been infected, here's the Biebs performing Boyfriend on The View.

ECS AMD690GM-M2 Motherboard
Do you run more than one computer in your household? Unfortunately in today's world most of us do. Whether it is because you're an enthusiast or you have a big family, it seems that one computer is just not enough. As an enthusiast, I refuse to purchase an over the counter proprietary computer, as it just won't cut it. However, I also don't want to spend tons of money building an extra rig that is just going to be used to surf the net or play an occasional game. What I have done, is found an alternative to purchasing a pre-built, if you know where to find them. Components are not very expensive these days and even though it might not be a top of the line computer, you can usually get an additional rig up and running for less than five hundred dollars.
First we need to remember this is not our main rig, so to cut costs, you can either use some components you might have lying around the house, or just purchase the essentials, being the CPU, Motherboard, Video card, Memory, CD ROM Drive, Hard Drive, Case and Power Supply. CPUs can be had for around ninety dollars, while the other components might cost you anywhere from twenty five to seventy. To further cut costs, you can purchase a motherboard with on-board video and this is what we'll be looking at today.
ECS (Elite Group) produces such a motherboard and it is named the AMD690GM-M2. This is a Socket AM2 micro ATX board, with graphics onboard by ATI (Radeon1250). Can this motherboard save you the cost of purchasing a separate video card and will it have the gusto to satisfy your needs of an all around rig?
"ECS, the Elitegroup Computer Systems (TSE: 2331), has been a pioneer in designing and manufacturing computer motherboards since 1987. It was the first motherboard maker in Taiwan to be listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange in 1994. Today, the company also designs and manufactures barebone and complete systems, such as notebook computers and high-end servers, for distributors worldwide."
Closer Look:
The Motherboard comes in an interesting box; I was reminded of the Rubix cube as soon as I looked at it. Hopefully setting up the BIOS won't be as hard as the cube was. You'll also notice that this is an AMD chipset and has ATI graphics on-board.

Using Measurement and Management to Track Aggregates Performance.
By Alan R. Bessen and Sam Sawant
"Management by numerical goal is an attempt to manage without knowledge of what to do."
– W. Edwards Deming
In this article, sustainability, which often refers only to energy and environmental concerns, is expanded to include efforts to increase yield, reduce waste and increase profit. Common programs focused on Performance Sustainability include Statistical Process Control (SPC), Total Quality Management (TQM), Six Sigma, and Lean programs along with Benchmarking and Best Practices initiatives.
Each of these programs relies on analysis of historical data as the primary information source for establishing the performance capabilities of the production process. Most often the data used is provided through a corporate accounting system which rarely includes current performance data.
Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) developed from these initiatives are generally derived using daily, monthly or annual performance statistics to establish measureable targets required to achieve daily, monthly or annual corporate financial objectives.
Daily or monthly KPIs may provide useful accounting measures but have little or no impact on actions resulting in managing or improving performance. Even a daily report arrives too late to make changes in what happened at the beginning of a shift much less the previous day.
In fact, it is often too late to even identify the cause of yesterday's performance failure. Establishing targets and measuring performance this way has little value. Actually, reliance on accounting measures alone often results in a reactive approach to management often limited to explaining actions that occurred, or did not occur, days or weeks in the past. The most common accounting based measurement responsible for this is the variance report.
Variance reports basically compare cost per unit produced over the past month with a previously predicted target value. Target values are generally derived from budgets based on months-old "best guess" or historical statistics without adequate consideration for current operational realities such as equipment condition, design limitations, market variations, raw material quality, sourcing options, inventory imbalance, etc.
Information in the variance reports is both too little (no process specific detail) and too late (the month is over) to be of real value to the people actually working to keep the plant operating.
To supplement accounting measures and effectively support Performance Sustainability, KPIs must be carefully selected, specifically developed and effectively utilized to provide valid measurement of both current and expected performance in each operating mode.
Not everything measured is a KPI. Within the production process a KPI represents a performance target used to compare actual vs. expected results for a designated portion of the processing system.
For maximum effect, KPIs must focus on specific elements within the process that offer actionable feedback to frontline personnel, preferably in real-time, enabling changes to be made within the daily on-the-job time frame.
Real-Time Operator Interface
The example interface in Fig. 1 provides the plant operator continuous real-time belt scale feedback on key process measures including daily production tons and yield percentage as well as instantaneous indication of rate changes. When combined with other process measures such as crusher amperage, bin levels and feeder settings the operator has continuous and comprehensive feedback on system performance enabling improvement adjustments to be made with confidence.
KPIs based on real-time performance data are referred to as Dynamic KPIs. Dynamic KPIs utilize recorded statistics to establish and update targets for key elements of the production process in each operating mode. They should be limited only to those items within direct control of the plant operator and include only those items where real-time data is available for feed back as adjustments are made.
Real-Time Performance Benchmarks
Non-KPI measures monitored by the control system are used to assist the operator in maintaining optimal performance. These measures represent discrete details within the process that often combine to provide the actual value to be compared to the target KPI. Their purpose is to provide current data to the plant operator to assist in adjusting process variables to improve performance. (Fig. 2)
Key Product Yield Improvement
Real-time product yield data as seen in Fig. 3, gives the plant operator an ability to assess the effect of various plant configurations on key product and by-product yield. Inadequate yield data often results in unnecessary operating hours, added operating cost and lost profit as the plant operates blindly accepting whatever is produced without regard for current inventory or sales demand.
System limiting, but commonly unseen, process variability caused by such things as improper crusher feed distribution, crusher liner wear, inconsistent feed rate control and performance limiting flow restrictions are also identifiable by observing variations in product yield.
Performance Benchmarks and KPIs derived from real-time historical data are substantially more realistic than even the short-duration measures used to create the initial process flow model. They provide current, statistically relevant measures of maximum achieved rate in each mode that can be used to provide a valid assessment of whether or not current performance is acceptable.
System Variability
A Real-time Measurement Interface (RMI) linked to key performance details as in Fig. 4 will provide the plant operator continuous performance feedback in either statistical or graphic display. The same data can be used to provide management reports and can be configured for real-time remote display or email alarm notification over a corporate network or as a web-based interface.
- Optimizing Performance comes from measuring, managing and controlling your process. Field measurement and flow validation will identify process capability and identify improvement opportunities. Valid data representing current performance is necessary to establish or support operational realities such as maintenance/overhaul intervals, current process limits, inventory issues and capital improvement justifications.
- Optimizing Profit requires knowledge of both process capabilities and projected sales requirements for each inventoried product.
- Maximum Profit comes from balancing plant performance and capacity with sales demand. A comprehensive production model enables production, sales, inventory and cost balancing. Without acceptable sales and inventory forecasts the plant is driven blindly by short-term sales demand without realistic regard for managing production yield or operating costs. Without an effective means of modeling sales requirements and production capacity there is no practical means of creating a common understanding of capabilities and limits among sales and operations personnel and therefore no hope of optimizing profit.
- KPI measures produced in the accounting system are inadequate for optimizing or sustaining performance and profit. They have little or no impact on actions resulting in managing or improving performance on a daily basis. Accurate evaluation of the present state of a process is necessary to achieve optimal performance. The more accurate and timely data is, the more likely intended targets will be valid and desired results will be achieved.
- A Real-time Measurement Interface provides performance statistics necessary to establish valid process-based Dynamic KPIs. It also supplies current process data to the plant operator enabling improvement adjustments to be made with confidence during the production shift.
- Performance Management requires a corporate cultural commitment to measuring and managing the production process.
- Technology makes it possible to simplify critical aspects of process measurement. However, data alone provides little or no value.
Reduced operating cost and increased profit relies totally on effective and Sustainable Performance Management.
Final Reminder:
- You cannot manage what you cannot control!
- You cannot control what you do not measure!
- If you don't measure it, you are not managing it!

The recent cold snap was welcome news to my buddies and me who have been eagerly awaiting an opportunity to grab the ice chisel and tip-ups and head out to one of our favorite early season ice fishing hot spots. Some of our favorite spots aren't safe enough yet, however, Mike checked a cove on my most productive warm water pond the other day and found plenty of good hard ice. He hit the bait shop for a couple dozen shiners and I sharpened my ice chisel before we met at the shore for a mid day fishing trip.
"There's about seven inches of good ice all the way out past the point,' he revealed after his scouting trip. "I carefully cut numerous test holes and feel comfortable that it's good and safe."
"Well, when do you want to go?" I asked.
"Meet me there in an hour," he answered. "I'll stop at the bait shop and get some shiners and a dozen of night crawlers."
I dug out my chisel and gave it a quick sharpening, then put fresh leaders and hooks on four of my best tip-ups, sharpened the hooks on a handful of my best perch jigs and headed out to meet my friend at the cove.
When I arrived, Mike was already there, leaning on the hood of his pickup, staring out at the ice.
"I was thinking we ought to try about fifty yards of those rocks right there," he suggested. "As I recall, the water is the deepest there and I'm guessing it will be our best chance to hook into a couple white perch or big pickerel."
"It's the only spot out there where I've caught any white perch," I admitted. "Let's go see what we can do!"
We loaded our gear on a sled and after I put on my ice creepers we headed out, taking the same route Mike did when he checked the ice thickness. All along the way, my buddy pointed to the holes that he'd cut to test the thickness.
We reached our destination within minutes and as Mike laid out some tip-ups where he thought we should set them, I followed behind with the chisel, chopping out the holes.
"There's plenty of good black ice here," I said after cutting the first hole.
"What did I tell you," Mike shouted as he pulled the bait bucket off the sled.
After I finished shopping eight holes, I joined Mike to help set the tip-ups. We'd sound for bottom at each hole, then after crimping a marker on the line, three feet from, the bottom, we'd hook a shiner through the mouth and send it down the hole. Most of the tip-ups were set in about twelve feet of water.
We only had three tip-ups in the holes when I heard one of the flags pop up.
"Mike, behind you!" I shouted.
My buddy jumped to his feet, whirled around and took off running. When he reached the hole, he gave me a thumbs up and carefully removed the trap and set it on the ice. I watched as he gave the line a jerk and set the hook.
"It's got some shoulders," he yelled. "It must be a pickerel."
After a short battle, my buddy slid an nineteen inch long chubby pickerel on the ice.
"I couple of these will make a tasty chowder," he said with a grin as he dropped the fish into his bucket.
We managed to get the rest of our tip-ups set before the next flag popped. It was one of my traps and by the time I reached the hole, the fish was gone, along with my bait.
We waited a good half hour for our next bite, then just as I pulled a nice yellow perch from that hole, two more flags sprung into the air nearly at the same time.
"You take the one on the right," Mike shouted as he dashed off to tend the other.
I watched as he made quick work of catching another good yellow perch. Then I set the hook on what would turn out to be a third. By the time we decided to call it a day, Mike and I had landed nine yellow perch, two pickerel and one fourteen inch long white perch.
As we were picking up our tip-ups, Mike turned in my direction and shouted, "I really like ice fishing these warm water ponds; you never know what you're gonna catch."

Author's note: Many thanks to my new beta-reader,

love to do, and who also reacts just the way I want her to. :-) Also,
many, many thanks to Arabella, who, besides allowing me to steal her

huge compliment of saying that she couldn't beta-read my story, because
she didn't want to contaminate her idea of Ginny with mine. Even if
it's an exaggeration, it made me glow!
Author's note 2: Ten points to Ravenclaw
for anyone who guesses Joanna's identity.
June 24
Dear Joanna,
My name is Ginny Weasley, and you have
the unenviable task of being my diary.
Im glad to meet you, Ginny Weasley,
but why do you say unenviable? I was the diary for an Emma Weasley,
oh, years and years ago - if youre related to her, you must be a wonderful
My great-grandmum. Thats one of the reasons
Mum chose you. She thought I was ready for a diary again, and I suppose
I agree with her. I had a really bad time with another diary when I
was younger, but I'd rather try to put that behind me, and not talk
about it right now.
All right, Ginny. You tell me whatever
you want to tell me, and don't tell me what you don't. In the meantime...do
you have the Weasley red hair and freckles?
Oh, yes, unfortunately. And the Weasley
temper, but Im working on that.
Im glad to hear it. What was the other
reason your mother chose me?
Well, you see, she knew your history, and
she hoped you would help me deal with...you see, Im in love with a
boy who doesnt love me back.
Oh, you poor dear. Well have to do
something about that. How old are you, Ginny?
Im fourteen, and I know thats too young
to have the love of your life, but I really think I do.
Ginny, I would be the last person to
say thats too young - I married at fourteen, after all - but I do think
it unusual. Why dont you tell me about him?
Joanna, if I start, Ill never stop! His
name is Harry Potter, and Im sure youve heard of him, but hes more
than just the hero who defeated the Dark Lord. Hes fun, and smart,
and so brave, and vulnerable, and sweet, and always polite to a little
girl with a crush on him. And that hair, and those eyes -
Wait a minute, Ginny, calm down. What
color are his hair and eyes?
You mean you dont know? I thought everybody
knew what Harry Potter looks like! He has black hair thats always
messy - I just want to run my fingers through it and smooth it down.
And the greenest eyes you could ever imagine...theyre like looking
into trees on a sunny day. He wears his fringe long to try to cover
the scar from You-Know-Whos curse, but it still shows. Sometimes its
so faint you can barely see it, and sometimes its almost purple, and
all puffy, like at the end of last year when You-Know-Who returned to
his body. Uh, you did know about that, right?
Oh, yes. Miss Vauclain keeps us informed
on current events. It must have been horrible to watch Harry go through
Horrible doesnt even begin - and the worst
thing was that I couldnt do anything! He barely knows I exist, after
all. I'm just Rons little sister. Rons my brother, hes Harrys
best friend. Ron and Hermione were with him the whole time - well,
almost - but I couldnt help him, I could only watch.
Is this Hermione Granger?
Yes, how did you - oh, you must know Gwen!
I didnt speak to you that day in Miss Vauclains, though...
No, I was someone else's diary then.
But I heard all about Hermione when I got back - Guinevere cant say
enough about her. Oh! Oh, Ginny, Im so sorry, but I just put it all
together - you're the sister of Harry's best friend, and you had a bad
experience with a diary before - you must be the girl who opened the
Chamber of Secrets.
Yes, that was me.
Breila, how brave of you to have a diary
again! I will try very hard not to pressure you to tell me anything
you dont want to, though I have to admit it will be difficult - you
sound like a very interesting young lady already.
You...you think Im brave?
Im glad to hear that, because Im in Gryffindor,
and I havent felt very brave, just sitting back and never doing anything
about my feelings for Harry.
Like I said, were going to do something
about that.
But what? Ive been living in the same
House as him for three years now, and nothings - Wait a minute. Sorry,
Joanna, but my mums calling me to help get dinner ready. Why is it
that theres four boys in the house, but whenever something needs to
be done, its always the one girl who has to do it?
Thats one of lifes great mysteries,
Ginny. But if youre the only one whos going to help your mother,
youd better go do it.
Right. Bye, Joanna.
Dear Joanna,
Well, that was a typical dinner at the
Weasley house this summer.
What happened, dear?
Mum and Dad talked to each other so quietly
that we couldnt hear them, Percy tried to act like he knew what they
were talking about and just didnt feel like joining in, Fred and George
talked quietly to each other about their joke shop, and Ron just stared
into space, ignoring everybody.
Percy, Fred, George, and Ron are all
your brothers?
Oh, yes, theyre all my brothers, but theyre
not all of my brothers. Bill went back to Egypt a week ago,
and Charlie is in Romania with his dragons.
You have six brothers?
Yes. I know its unusual, but thats another
thing Weasleys are known for - big families.
Well, its unusual now, but I had many
more siblings than that, at least if you count half-blood. Are you
the only girl, Ginny?
Yes. I hate it, no one takes me seriously.
Ron and I used to be good friends before he went to Hogwarts, but now
that he has Harry and Hermione, Im just his little sister.
And what did you do at dinner?
Nothing. It didnt used to be this way
- we used to have such fun at dinner, but now with You-Know-Who back...but
every time I get depressed about how bad I have it here, I think about
how much worse it is for Harry, and then...and then I feel worse.
Well, to make yourself feel better,
why dont you tell me more about Harry. How did you meet him?
Oh, well, I grew up knowing about him,
of course - he was famous since he was only one year old. The first
time I saw him in person, though, was on Platform Nine and Three-Quarters
on September 1st, Rons first year at Hogwarts. He didnt know how
to get through the barrier - he grew up with these absolutely horrible
Muggles, his mums family, thats who hes with over the summer. So
he asked Mum for directions. Now I cant believe it, but I didnt even
really notice him, I was so wrapped up in Ron - my best friend and favorite
brother - going away from me. Then Fred and George came back off the
train and said who he was, and I wanted to get another look at him,
but Mum said he wasnt to be gawked at.
You know, I think Im going to like
your mother.
Well...I like her myself. Anyway, so I
didnt really meet Harry then, but I thought about him a lot, and then
imagine my surprise when Rons first letter came (in November), and
he mentioned that they were best friends. I lived for his letters even
more after that, but Ron wrote about Harry so rarely. When Ron came
home for the summer, I wanted to talk about him - you know, find out
what he was really like, and all - but all Ron wanted to talk about
was how he beat Professor McGonagalls giant chess set and helped Harry
get the Sorcerers Stone. And won fifty points for Gryffindor. You
heard about all that from Gwen, right?
Oh, yes.
Good. So during that summer, Harry didnt
answer any of Rons letters, so he got worried and went to get him from
his Muggle relatives. Of course, he didnt tell me he was going to
do it, so one morning I came down to breakfast in my nightgown and saw
Harry was there.
What did you do?
I...well, I...sort of...um...squeaked and
ran back to my room.
Oh, Ginny.
I know, I know! But I was only eleven,
and it was a shock.
Im sure it was. So, why didnt Harry
answer Rons letters?
A house-elf named Dobby was stopping them.
Did you have house-elves, Joanna?
No. My mother was too poor, and my
father was a Muggle. Then, when I married, I moved to Wales, which
at that time was a mixed community, but the Welsh valued independence
highly and didnt believe in having house-elves.
Im glad. Hermione started a movement
for house-elf rights last year, and while I dont agree with her that
freedom would be good for all house-elves, I do think that they should
all have the option.
I agree. Did Hermiones movement catch
No, and especially not with Ron. She named
it the Society for the Promotion of Elfish Welfare, which was unfortunate,
because Ron keeps calling it spew. It annoys Hermione no end.
Does it?
Yes, and I can tell what youre thinking,
and youre absolutely right. They fancy each other, but they wont
admit it yet. At least, Hermione wont admit it to him, and Ron wont
admit it to anybody. Maybe hes told Harry, but I doubt it. Oh, I
hate thinking of Harry all alone with those horrid Muggles! At least
they dont keep him in the cupboard anymore, but Hermione told me they
practically starved him last summer. I cant imagine what theyre doing
to him right now. I dont want to imagine it.
Ginny, can I ask you something?
What do you think about besides Harry?
What are your other interests?
Other interests? Oh...well, Mums teaching
me to cook this summer.
Are you enjoying it?
No, not really.
Well, whats your favorite class at
That ones easy - Charms. Professor Flitwick
is such a dear, and Im really good at it. I wish he would teach us
the theory behind creating new Charms, though. Ive tried, but none
of them work, and Hermione says that thats really advanced magic -
well beyond the O.W.L.s. Do you know it, Joanna?
No, Charms was never my strong point.
I loved Herbology and Transfiguration, but Im afraid I wont be able
to help you with your schoolwork. My magical education was spotty at
best, because I never went to a formal school, and was just trained
by whatever witch or wizard happened to be around at the time.
Wow, how different! I cant imagine life
without Hogwarts, I really cant. Oh, Joanna, Id love to stay up and
talk some more, but Im really sleepy, and my hand hurts. Im always
amazed at how much Hermione can write in Gwen, and I suppose Im out
of practice.
Probably. You need your sleep, Ginny.
Good night.
Good night, Joanna.
July 25
Joanna, I need your help! Mum just asked
me if I want to help make Harrys birthday cake, and I dont have a
present for him yet.
You forgot about Harrys birthday?
Of course not! I just havent been able
to think of a present. I want it to be special, something that he really
likes, something...
Something to make him notice you.
Well, think about Harry - what are his
interests, what does he like?
Quidditch and...well, defeating You-Know-Who.
Its true! Hes been busy. And his hateful
aunt and uncle didnt exactly give him any chances for developing hobbies.
Okay, well, what doesnt he have a lot
of? Whats missing in his life?
That ones easy - family. Thats why Mum
bakes him a cake every year. This year shes knitting him a jumper,
too, which she usually does for Christmas (shes famous for her jumpers),
because she thinks hell have outgrown his last one. I know thats
important to him, though hes never said it.
Does he look on you as family?
I hope not, but probably, if he thinks
of me at all. Its really Ron and Hermione that are his true family.
Does he have any pictures of Ron and
Hermione? That might help him get through the summer with his aunt
and uncle.
Oh, Im sure he - you know, I dont know.
Let me ask Ron - Ill be right back.
Okay, so that wasnt right back. Ron was
in a talkative mood for some reason. He just got a letter from Hermione
- he wouldnt tell me what she said, but it must have been good. Anyway,
he doesnt think Harry has any pictures of the two of them (Why would
he want a picture of me?), though he does have some photos of his mum
and dad, so maybe this isnt such a good idea.
You dont think so? I think Harry would
love it. Will you put them in an album? Where will you get them?
Theres a couple of kids in Gryffindor
who have cameras. One of thems in Harrys year, and the other hero-worships
Harry. Im sure theyll both have lots of pictures. Theyre both Muggle-born,
maybe thats why they have cameras...whats old and boring to kids who
grew up in wizard families, seems neat to them. Ive never really talked
much with Dean Thomas - hes the one in Harrys year - but I dont suppose
hell be surprised at me asking for pictures. I havent exactly been
subtle about my feelings for Harry.
Instead of a photo album, Ive thought
of something better. Fred and George have invented a picture frame
that can hold lots of pictures - you just tap the frame to switch pictures.
Did I mention that theyre inventors? Mostly they just make new kinds
of jokes, but they worked on this for Mum. Its self-preservation,
really - you can hardly move in the living room, its so covered in
pictures. I suppose with seven of us, thats somewhat inevitable.
So, what do you think?
I think its a wonderful idea. Your
brothers must be really talented, to be inventing a new picture frame
like that. Do they own their own business?
Actually, theyre still in school - this
is their seventh year. But theyre very serious about starting a joke
shop after they graduate, which Mum isnt too happy about. Weasleys
Wizard Wheezes, theyre going to call it. I think they must have found
an investor, or something, because they have had more money to work
with this summer. Or maybe they just sold a lot of Canary Creams last
Canary Creams?
Yeah - when you eat one, you turn into
a large, very bright yellow, canary.
Only for half a minute or so. Then you
molt, and turn back into yourself. Theyre lots of fun.
Im sure. When is Harrys birthday,
The 31st.
Then youd better get working, dont
you think?
Good point. I need to save my hand for
letters. Bye, Joanna.
July 28
Oh, Joanna, this is so much fun! George
is teaching me to enchant the picture frame so itll hold all the pictures
- hes so nice. Fred just laughed when I told them why I wanted it,
but George didnt. Well, his eyes did, a little, but at least he said
hed help. And now I can do it myself if I need to, though I asked
George to make Harrys - I didnt want to mess it up.
Im sure you wouldnt have.
Well, I didnt want to risk it.
So, how many pictures do you have?
Ever so many, and some really wonderful
ones. Dean and Colin really came through - I think Harrys going to
love these. Theyre all of him, Ron, and Hermione before You-Know-Who
came back, looking happy, or at least innocent. Theres one of the
three of them collapsed by a big tree at Hogwarts. Dean said (he included
captions with all of them - really funny ones, too) that they had just
come from a really hard Transfiguration class, and he took the picture
to prove that even Hermione could be overwhelmed at times. I think
Harry will like to be reminded of a time when the hardest thing he had
to face was classes.
Yes, that sounds perfect. Do you have
any pictures of people besides Harry, Ron and Hermione?
Well, we took a picture of my whole family
last night. George is going to develop it tonight. I hope it turned
out well.
How about a picture of just you?
Oh, Im sure Harry wouldnt want that.
Are you?
Yes. Besides, I wouldnt want it to seem
like Im forcing myself on him - this present is for him, not me.
True. Though most boys would like to
have a picture of a pretty girl to look at - but he can see you in the
family portrait.
If he wants to. Oh, I forgot to tell you
about Colins letter. After gushing for awhile about what a good idea
this was, and how he was so happy to help make Harrys birthday special
by being part of my gift (Im not kidding, Joanna), he asked if he could
keep one photo to give to Harry himself. He said he had been thinking
about Harrys birthday and wanting to give him a present, but couldnt
think of anything, and this was the perfect thing. But he didnt tell
me what the picture was of, and how he thought I could possibly say,
No, you cant keep one picture for your own present out of all the
ones you gave me, I have no idea. I do wonder what it was - he gave
me some good ones, like the one he took of the three of them after the
second task last year, soaking wet. Harry had stayed too long under
the lake, because he wanted to rescue all of the hostages, but the judges
ruled that that showed moral fiber - which it did! - so they gave him
high points. Ron was torn between being really proud of Harry, and
thinking he was a completely brainless git for thinking the hostages
could be hurt. Its all there on his face, and in the way hes pounding
Harry on the back, but shaking his head at the same time. So is Hermiones
utter pride and pleasure in Harry doing well. Viktor Krum is off to
one side of the picture, looking dejected, just staring at his feet.
When Ron saw that one, he came close to demanding that he could keep
it, but I stood firm. Harrys going to love it. I dont know how Colin
does it - he should be professional once we graduate.
Is it going to be done in time?
Oh, yes. Once George is done, well put
the last picture in, and then I can send it off. Theres just one thing.
Whats that?
I dont know what to write in the letter.
I would think Happy Birthday would make
Joanna! I meant besides that.
What were you thinking?
Well, I was thinking of declaring my undying
love to Harry...
Kidding - just kidding! But thats just
it, Joanna - I mean, he knows I like him, hell know why Im giving
him a birthday present, what can I really say? Ooo - Ive an idea -
maybe Mum would let me write the letter for her present, too. That
would be more to say.
Thats a good idea.
Hmm...I think Ill go ask her now. Bye,
Bye, Ginny.
July 29
Joanna, did I tell you that Hermione likes
my gift for Harry?
Is that important to you?
Well, she knows him so well. She told
me that she got him a book on becoming an Animagus. Im not sure why
- Ive never heard Harry say he wanted to become one, and Transfiguration
isnt exactly his best subject. Thats very advanced magic, and if
it werent for Hermione, Id be worried about him. But she wouldnt
let him do anything dangerous.
She wouldnt?
Well...not for something that wasnt already
life and death. I cant imagine how this would be that.
So, what is Harrys best subject, if
its not Transfiguration? Charms?
No, Defense Against the Dark Arts. And
dont think I dont know where you were going with that suggestion,
Joanna! Everything I think and feel is not about Harry.
Im glad to hear it.
Anyway, Harrys really, really good at
DADA, which shouldnt surprise anyone. He can even conjure a Patronus.
Thats pretty advanced magic for a fourth
And he did it as a third year!
Ginny, why did he have to face a dementor?
Im assuming thats why he conjured a Patronus.
Well, my second year, Sirius Black escaped
from Azkaban. Everyone thought that he was headed for Hogwarts and
Harry. So Cornelius Fudge (hes Minister of Magic, but you probably
know that) insisted on posting dementors around Hogwarts - surely you
must know all this, Joanna, if you were..um, someone's diary at the
No, there were other things to worry
about at the time for her. Besides, I like to hear about things from
Oh, okay. Um, right...Fudge posted dementors
around Hogwarts, even though Professor Dumbledore didnt want him to,
and one came onto the Hogwarts Express. It was absolutely horrible,
Johanna! I felt like I was back in the Chamber of Secrets, with Tom
Riddle coming out of the diary.
Oh, breila.
Um, Johanna, you called me that before
- what does it mean?
A breila is a dusky wild rose.
It suits you, I think.
Do you think so? Hmm...I like it. Anyway,
Harry had it worse - he actually fainted, and Hermione later told me
that its because he hears You-Know-Who murdering his parents. Im
pretty sure there was something else she wasnt telling me, but then
she probably shouldnt have told me that much. Professor Lupin - our
DADA teacher that year - was in the compartment, and he drove off the
dementor. Then, a lot of them showed up at Harrys first Quidditch
match of the season, and Harry fainted again, falling off his broom.
From fifty feet up.
Luckily, Dumbledore was there, and he somehow
stopped Harrys fall - Ive got to learn how to do that, I have a feeling
Im going to need it - and drove off the dementors. Ive never seen
Dumbledore so angry! After that, Harry decided that he needed to learn
how to deal with the dementors, so he went to Professor Lupin, who taught
him Expecto Patronum. I didnt know it at the time, of course, but
before the next Quidditch match I was so nervous that Hermione told
me about it. I know theres something she wasnt telling me, but thats
as it should be - I wouldnt want her telling him my secrets. Anyway,
at the next match, Harry was ready, and when some dementors showed up,
he conjured his Patronus - it was a stag, by the way, I wonder why that
is? - caught the Snitch, and won the match. Only they werent dementors.
What were they, for heavens sake?
Draco Malfoy and three of his friends.
I suppose they thought it would be funny. Malfoy is a Slytherin boy
in Harrys year, and I have a really hard time being objective about
him. Besides the fact that hes really horrible to Harry, Ron and Hermione
- Ive seen some of it, and Hermiones told me more - his father is
the one who planted Tom Riddles diary for me to find.
I can understand your not liking him.
Yes, and then there was the time in my
first year...you probably dont want to hear about that, Joanna.
Well, of course I do, but if you dont
want to tell me, you certainly dont have to.
Um...oh, its just embarrassing, and if
I cant embarrass myself in front of you, who can I embarrass myself
in front of? In this case, it was actually in front of my whole class,
and most of Harrys. And Harry. See, we had this teacher, Professor
Lockhart, that year for DADA - we do seem to go through them, dont
we? He was pretty useless as a teacher, actually, but he threw a huge
Valentines Day celebration, including singing dwarves delivering peoples
Valentines. I dont know why I did it - remember, I was only eleven
- but I wrote a Valentine for Harry, and the stupid dwarf delivered
it just when my class was going into History of Magic, and Harrys was
going into Charms. Harry was so embarrassed - well, it was terribly
sappy, and horrible poetry, too - and Draco Malfoy yelled to me, I
dont think Potter liked your Valentine, Weasley!
How horrible! I wish I had hands, so
I could - I shouldnt say that.
It was pretty bad. But the worst was that
when the dwarf knocked Harry over - he hadnt wanted to hear the Valentine,
and you can understand why - his bookbag fell apart, and Tom Riddles
diary came out, and you know what, Joanna? I dont think I want to
talk about this right now.
Then you dont have to. But you know,
Ginny, if you ever do want to talk about it, Im right here.
I know. Thanks, Joanna. You know, I wonder
what happened to Sirius Black.
What do you mean?
Well, we were all convinced that he was
after Harry - and he was, because he broke into Gryffindor Tower and
almost killed Ron. But at the end of the school year, everything went
back to normal - the dementors went away, and Harry was able to come
to the Quidditch World Cup that summer, and I never heard another thing
about it. So I wonder what happened to him. He couldnt have been
captured, or the Ministry would have made a big deal about it, but something
must have happened, or the dementors would still be around Hogwarts.
I bet Harry, Ron and Hermione know all about it - somehow, they always
do. When we were on the Hogwarts express once, I was with the three
of them in a compartment, and Ron told me to leave so Harry could tell
them something. Its always the same thing - hang on, he wants something
now. Oh, bother, he wants me to play Quidditch. Hes trying out for
Keeper on the house team this year. I have to go. Talk to you later,
Have fun, Ginny.
July 31
I never told you what I wrote in my letter
to Harry, Joanna. Do you want me to copy it?
Of course.
Dear Harry,
Happy Birthday!
Mum sends along the cake and jumper, of course, and we all send our
best wishes. The pictures are from Fred, George and me. I got them
from people around school, and Fred and George invented the frame to
hold more than one. They should be real inventors, not just of Weasleys
Wizard Wheezes. (No, we shouldnt.) (Yeah, what does she mean, real
inventors?) You just tap lightly on the upper right-hand corner of
the frame to switch pictures. You can add more, too, but thats more
complicated, and Fred and George will have to show you how.
Hope you had a
tolerable birthday, Harry, even with the Dursleys. If I dont see you
before, see you on the Hogwarts Express.
The stuff in parentheses was by Fred and
George, if you couldnt tell. What do you think?
It was good. Nice and friendly...but
dont you think best wishes is a little cool?
Well, first I put love, which I thought
was fine, since we all do love him - I mean, how could we not? But
Fred and George were there, waiting to make their contributions, and
they made such faces and snickered so much that I changed it. Besides,
I dont want Harry to think Im still pining for him.
Even though you are.
Yes. Ive been thinking about what you
said - I dont really have any interests outside of Harry. Or rather,
I did, but they all got pushed away once I met him. And its ridiculous.
No boy is worth that, even Harry Potter. I do still love him, and I
do still hope hell notice me one day, but I want to be a complete person
aside from him.
Bravo, Ginny!
Its about time, wouldnt you say? Anyway,
I wrote to Hermione, asking if I could borrow her fourth-year Charms
book, so I could get a head start. She sent me Charms and DADA - she
said that if I was working ahead, I should also work on DADA, since
theres obviously no guarantee that our teacher this year will be any
good. And Ive been playing a lot of Quidditch with Ron. Not that
what were doing is really Quidditch - Im just flying at him from weird
angles and doing weird things and throwing a ball at him weirdly. Its
actually fun - I love to fly, but I dont really enjoy playing Quidditch,
I prefer to watch. Especially Harry, and Im not just saying that because
I love him, hes really good. The dives he goes into and pulls out
of! His looping, and the way he shakes off the other Seekers! We went
to the Quidditch World Cup and saw Viktor Krum do a Wronski Feint, but
I think Harry could be better than him.
Okay, so Im not cured yet, but Im working
on it. Im going to go study Charms, Joanna.
Bye, Ginny. Im really proud of you.

It's an interesting route to take. A regular, full-featured computer takes too long to boot up, so why not include a small, embedded system, and have it act like a phone or whatever which boots up instantly, and provides access to the most commonly used features.
Latitude-On, as the feature is called, uses a TI OMAP3430 ARM processor to load a Linux-based environment providing access to things lik web browsing, checking email, and playing multimedia files. According to studies by Dell, users used the Linux environment 70% of the time - making Windows seem more like a stone around the laptop's neck than a useful environment.
However, one does have to wonder - how often are laptops actually turned off completely? Don't most people just put them to sleep, allowing for instant wake up and access to a full environment? All the major operating systems provide reliable instant wake up, so what exactly the role of an add-in ARM board is remains to be seen.
On top of that, isn't all this just a giant clumsy patch to cover up the fact that operating systems are simply extremely crude, inefficient, and power-hungry? Wouldn't money be better spent on making operating systems better instead of jamming an additional embedded board into a laptop?
Despite those questions, fact remains that this feature is just plain cool. When I was younger, I used to drool over those PCI x86 cards Sun made - an entire x86 system contained on a single PCI board, ready to be plugged into your SPARC system. They actually still sell those; the SunPCi IIIpro Coprocessor Card sports an AMD Athlon XP 2100+ 1.6-GHz mobile processor, up to 1GB of memory, an integrated ProSavage8 graphics chip, and a lot more. Oh, and you can plug multiple SunPCi cards into a single machine.
Sorry, I got lost in a geek dream there for a second. Anyway, what do you think of functionality like this? Is it the way to go? A waste of time? A waste of space?

Eric Benét Is The One
Eric Benét knew he was musically inclined by the time he reached grade school. Growing up in a "crazy musical family" that had a reputation for playing music around the clock, Benét was hearing original songs and musical arrangements in his head before he was solving mathematical equations. "I thought, 'OK, maybe I'm a songwriter or a musician or something,'" he recalls. "I think that's when it dawned on me." Six studio albums and four GRAMMY nominations later, it seems Benét's intuition was right. In an exclusive interview with GRAMMY.com, Benét discusses his latest (and first independently released) album, The One, being nominated for a GRAMMY, what drives him to be an artist, and his creative influences, among other topics.
"The One is a project I've been trying to make my whole career," says Benét. "I feel like I'm at the top of my game, both vocally and artistically. … That's pretty much why I called it The One; this is the one I've been trying to make." Released June 5 on Benét's own Jordan House Records, The One features 12 tracks, including duets with Benét's 20-year-old eldest daughter India Benét, Lil Wayne and Shaggy, and "Here In My Arms (Lucia's Lullaby)," a song Benét wrote for his newborn daughter, Lucia Bella.
Born Eric Benét Jordan in Milwaukee, Benét released his debut album, True To Myself, in 1996. A Day In The Life followed in 1999, peaking at No. 25 on the Billboard 200 and garnering Benét his first GRAMMY nomination for Best R&B Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocal for the Top 25 hit "Spend My Life With You" featuring Tamia. Hurricane was released in 2005, followed by 2008's Love & Life, which peaked at No. 11 on the Billboard 200 and spawned two GRAMMY nominations for Best R&B Album and Best Male R&B Vocal Performance for "You're The Only One." Benét's most recent GRAMMY nomination came in 2011 for Best Traditional R&B Performance for "Sometimes I Cry," a track from 2010's Lost In Time, a tribute to '70s-era soul music.
"Out of all of the people doing this thing for the passion of making music and trying to be better at what they do … I'm one of the few that has been acknowledged by The [Recording] Academy," says Benét on being nominated for a GRAMMY. "It's an amazing compliment and [it's] affirming [to know I'm] doing the right thing."

I would have to say Zeta Gundam is probably my favorite Gundam series with 0083 coming in at a close second.
Zeta became my favorite Gundam after seeing it 2 years ago and after seeing all Gundam shows after it. Everything about it is just perfect. It is a masterpiece. I hope they release it here in the US in BD format one day.
Oh hell ya, I loved this series! I didn't even realize Mobile Suit Gundam had a sequel for a long time, and I ended up watching it here. Great classic, if you liked the original Gundam, you'll love this because although Amuro isn't the lead this time, he and many others are still a big part of the show.
Playing LoL as Valkyrie Witch, support main, hit me up!
zeta was the best of all the gundam franchise and should be watched by any anime fan

The picture that is shown on the home page is from Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam: A New Translation. Zeta Gundam use to be my favorite UC series until Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn came out. Also it seems crunchyroll is losing the rights to stream all the Gundam series they they have at the end of the year.
That figures. It's like Sunrise/ Bandai are thinking screw the rest of the world. Lets keep Gundam in the East and force the world to import. They close Bandai America, sub Gundam AGE but only release it in areas surrounding Japan, and now they are taken away the Gundam on Crunchyroll. I'm sure the other legal places will be taken down too.
Every Gundam series is the best Gundam series
I hope this means Gundam isn't going away anytime soon. :)
I was kinda worried with the Bandai stuff going on.

MONTGOMERY, AL (AP) - A state Senate committee has approved legislation designed to give city and county school systems more flexibility in dealing with state education laws.
The Senate Education Committee voted 9-0 for the bill Tuesday after adding amendments to protect the tenure rights of teachers and to make sure the legislation can't be used to create charter schools. The state teachers' organization, the Alabama Education Association, sought the amendment to protect tenure rights, and it passed 5-4.
The bill would allow school systems to apply for an exemption from many state education laws. The exemptions would be approved by the State Board of Education.
The bill now goes to the Senate. Senate President Pro Tem Del Marsh said he will give senators time to study the bill before seeking a vote.

PM soothes frayed nerves, Sensex gains 218 points
Stock markets rose for the third day today with the S&P BSE benchmark Sensex jumping 218.68 points to end at over two-week high of 18,619.72, after the PM ruled out capital controls.business Updated: Aug 30, 2013 23:00 IST
Stock markets rose for the third day on Friday with the S&P BSE benchmark Sensex jumping 218.68 points to end at over two-week high of 18,619.72 after Prime Minister Manmohan Singh assured that the rupee's decline will be addressed without capital controls or reversal of reforms.
The currency markets also appeared to strengthen with the rupee gaining over 50 paise to trade at 66.05/06 levels against the US dollar compared to yesterday's close of 66.55.
While the stock markets were volatile as the prime minister began his speech in the Parliament shortly after noon, share prices surged on heavy buying in the last 90 minutes of trade with sectors like consumer durables, healthcare, banking, IT and FMCG seeing good enquiries.
The 30-share Sensex ended at 18,619.72, up 218.68 points or 1.19 %, extending gains to the third session in which the index has rose over 650 points. Today is the highest close for Sensex since August 14 (19,367.59).
"The PM said once again that 1991 crisis will not be repeated and sub-3% GDP is very far from happening.
Market showed strength ahead of GDP numbers to be announced today. Oil prices eased as Syria crisis seems to be away," said Rakesh Goyal, Senior VP, Bonanza Portfolio Limited.
On similar lines, the Broad-based National Stock Exchange index Nifty rose by 62.75 points, or 1.16% to end at 5,471.80, after moving between 5,360.20 and 5,493.30.
Also, MCX-SX' SX40 index ended at 10,938.49, up 88.98 points.
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh also said the government will now have to undertake more difficult reforms, including reduction of subsidy and implementing GST, to put economy back on the path of stable, sustainable growth.
In the Sensex pack, the two most influential counters RIL rose by 0.73% to Rs 851.55 and TCS by 3.96% to Rs 2,023.15. Other major gainers were Cipla, Dr Reddy's Lab., Bajaj Auto, Hero Honda, HUL and SBI.
Sectorally, the consumer durable index gained the most by rising 1.90% to 5,615.79, followed by healthcare index by 1.59% to 8,965.59. Banking index rose by 1.59% to 10,304.35 and Information Technology index by 1.54% to 8,027.55.
