makeaperl - create a new perl binary from static extensions
makeaperl -l library -m makefile -o target -t tempdir [object_files] [static_extensions] [search_directories]
This utility is designed to build new perl binaries from existing extensions on the fly. Called without any arguments it produces a new binary with the name
perl in the current directory. Intermediate files are produced in
/tmp, if that is writeable, else in the current directory. The most important intermediate file is a Makefile, that is used internally to call
make. The new perl binary will consist
-l switch lets you specify the name of a perl library to be linked into the new binary. If you do not specify a library, makeaperl writes targets for any
libperl*.a it finds in the search path. The topmost target will be the one related to
With the
-m switch you can provide a name for the Makefile that will be written (default
/tmp/Makefile.$$). Likewise specifies the
-o switch a name for the perl binary (default
perl). The
-t switch lets you determine, in which directory the intermediate files should be stored.
All object files and static extensions following on the command line will be linked into the target file. If there are any directories specified on the command line, these directories are searched for
*.a files, and all of the found ones will be linked in, too. If there is no directory named, then the contents of $INC[0] are searched.
If the command fails, there is currently no other mechanism to adjust the behaviour of the program than to alter the generated Makefile and run
make by hand.

Ruben Tejada, meet Bernie Madoff.
Mets fans, meet your future until your swindled owner, Fred Wilpon, is replaced by someone who has the financial might Wilpon had when he and Nelson Doubleday bought the team from Doubleday Publishing in 1986.
While the Mets have been little more than a tease since the Bobby Valentine era — blame Yadier Molina for knocking them out of the 2006 World Series — they have stopped even building expectations. They're a New York team that no longer can play the free-agent game and hardly has a farm system that can compete with teams like the Braves, Nationals and Marlins in the National League East. That's a...

Installing a new pool liner without wrinkles is an real accomplishment. It requires careful measurements, skillful adjustments, and a vacuum that really sucks - a lot of air.
A vac/blower, such as the Mighty Vac, shown left, or the Cyclone are used by pool pros to set liners, and if they happen to be in the snowbelt - these are also used to blow the lines for winterization.
"Setting the Liner" is what we call it. Setting the liner with a vacuum, that is, to remove the air behind the liner, and suck the liner tightly against the walls and floor of the pool.
I mentioned the Mighty Vac and the Cyclone already. There is another industry favorite, called the Q-Vac, unique with its flattened hose that fits easily behind the liner.
You can use a Shop Vac type of wet/dry vac in most cases. It needs to be on the large side, I have used 5hp wet/dry vacs successfully. Smaller shop vacs, or those that cannot obtain a good seal to create strong suction, may not work.
Once again, these types of blower / vacs are used to remove the air behind the liner, and pull it tight up against the wall and floor of the pool, to remove the wrinkles before filling the pool with water.
They are also very useful for spotting wrinkles which aren't removed by the vacuum - those wrinkles that need some special attention, or manipulation, before filling the pool.
Before you install the liner, take some time to seal up any air gaps between the wall panels, or between the wall panels and the coping or track, on top of the wall. You can use silicone or duct tape to seal up any void that looks like it might pull in air, when the vac is running. Taping all of the vertical wall joints also helps with a smoother liner surface.
Install the liner into the pool, securing the bead into the track all the way around. If there are any spots where the liner is loose in the track, or pops out of the track, use liner bead to secure it, or you can use duct tape in that area.
Tape up the skimmer lids, to prevent air leakage around the lid, and also close the skimmer valve, or place the multiport valve in the closed position.
Find a location in the mid section of the pool to set up the vac. Pull a small section of liner out of the track, and insert the vacuum hose behind the liner. Try it at a depth of just 6-12", and if you need to go deeper (to create more suction), you can push the hose deeper.
Tape up the hose, as shown in the picture at the top of the page. Use lots of duct tape, on all sides, to prevent any air loss at the point where the hose goes behind the liner.
Plug your extension cord into an outlet with a large enough circuit breaker. You don't want the breaker to trip in the middle of the night, because the blower has to run until the pool is at least halfway full. A 15 or 20 amp outlet, not used by other loads, should be fine.
When ready, turn on the vacuum. Usually within 1 minute, you should see the liner slowly tighten up against the walls and floor. After a few minutes, it should become very tight. If you have a very large pool, or a heavy gauge vinyl, or a very cold morning - you may need two vacs to set the liner, placed on opposite sides of the pool.
If the liner does not tighten up after a few minutes, check for air leaks on the vac, the hose, and anywhere around the pool. You may be able to hear the loss of suction, with a loud sucking sound, coming from one area, or you may be able to hear it or see it when you shut off the vac.
Arggh, wrinkles! I wrote an entire post about vinyl liner wrinkles last year. If you see wrinkles in the liner when the liner is tight, make a plan to move the wrinkles to the edge of the pool, near the wall. If they are small enough, you may be able to gently smooth them out with your hands. If the liner is not properly centered in the corners, you may need to reposition the liner, so that the inside and outside corners line up.
Shut off the blower while you work out any wrinkles, and when you turn the blower on again, it may be helpful to pull and push the liner in the direction you want the wrinkle to go. Pull with your hands, or use a soft push broom to pull or push the liner in the desired direction, as the vac pulls the liner tight, as shown in the picture on the right.
Remove the vac when the water level in the pool has covered the shallow end floor by at least 6 inches. If the liner is shut off before this point, it could relax enough to allow wrinkles to appear.
Don't allow the water level to cover the hose, it can become nearly impossible to remove, and it will stretch the liner, perhaps leaving an imprint of the ribbed hose.
After removing the hose, remove the duct tape. If left on for days, it will leave a sticky residue on the vinyl, which can be removed with soap and water.
Push the liner back into the track, and spread out the excess material. Remove the other duct tape that you placed earlier, and continue filling the pool!

This week, the gorgeous-on-the-inside-and-out actress, activist and author Alicia Silverstone started advocating another feel good cause…masturbation! Okay well that's sort of a stretch, but she is advocating this eco-friendly Leaf Life vibrator.
How can a vibrator be eco-friendly, you ask? This one is made from phalate-free silicone, features rechargeable batteries and is shipped in packaging made from recycled materials."
"OK, ladies—sometimes it's nice to have a little extra…something…when you're getting it on (solo, with your partner…whatever floats your boat)," Silverstone wrote on OpenSky.com.
I am sure I have ranted before about how much I love Alicia Silverstone. It all started circa 1995 with Clueless, when I both adored and abhorred her opportunity to make out with a nubile Paul Rudd. But my love for her matured, like all serious relationships do, when she started advocated for animals and then came out with the Kind Diet, the book that paved the way to veganism for me. I love her so much I defended her when she admitted to occasionally slipping up and eating cheese, and when that video came out of her regurgitating food into her baby's mouth. (Did I mention her baby's name is Bear Blu?) I've got your back, Alicia. Let's hang out and maybe make some peanut butter cups. Oooh, and for some of my favorite toys, see here!

Best Kids Parties: Pink & Yellow
Name: Mia (1)
Location: Austin, TX
The inspiration for my daughter's party were the colors pink and yellow. I had originally not even planned to decorate due to the fact that her party was only a month after I gave birth to her little sister. I thought I would be too busy. But then the day before her birthday came and I found some extra time to scrounge up some last minute decorations.
Everything was DIY made from items I already had. I gathered up every pink and yellow item in my home and threw them together. Pink furniture, pink vases, yellow flowers, etc. If it was pink or yellow, it went into the living room. I used some leftover fabric from her nursery to make the pennant banner, the flower on her suspenders and to fill the picture frames on the mantel. I made the cake stand by covering a 100 pack of CDs with the polka dot fabric. I used three small chalkboards on each of the 3 decorated tables to tie them all together with Mia's chalkboard wall in her room.
The best part about the party was that I only spent money on the cake and food. It definitely ended up being cuter than I thought it would be. And, cheaper.
Thanks Johanna! Readers, see more of Mia's beautiful party on Johanna's blog.

A Hollywood Hills compound that horror filmmaker Wes Craven owned at the time of his death last year is for sale at $3.295 million. The seller is his widow, producer and production manager Iya Labunka.
Craven and Labunka weren't the only Hollywood forces to call the single-story MidCentury Modern their home. Actor Steve McQueen also once owned the 3,594-square-foot flat-roofed house.
The gated post-and-beam home has a Zen-inspired fountain and lush vegetation at the entry. Inside, an open-plan layout and walls of glass provide panoramic views of the cityscape and canyons.
Ceiling beams emphasize the home's strong horizontal lines....

This has been one of the reasons for its popularity, which peaked in the 1970s. Other benefits are its being able to hold its form well and its resilience against mold and mildew damage. And also, polyester is a durable synthetic and an extremely heat-sensitive fabric that is prone to absorbing oily stains. Quickly treat oil-based stains to prevent permanent damage to polyester fabric before washing. When laundering, use light duty laundry detergent and a vinegar rinse as cleaning agents, and avoid using excessive heat in the washing machine and dryer to prevent damage to the fabric's synthetic fibers. _•l __Inspect the polyester fabric for stains. If stains are found, squirt the stain remover directly on the spot or spots. Place an absorbent cloth under the stain, lay the fabric on top of the cloth, and use a second cloth to dab inward from the outer edge of the spot. This will push some of the stain into the cloth underneath, and some will go into the wiping cloth. Avoid wiping outward to prevent spreading the stain. Repeat as needed to remove the stain_ _•l __ Use a washing machine to wash any polyester clothing. This works fine for most polyester mix fabrics as well. Place the washing machine setting on Permanent Press. Set the temperature to warm--not hot and not cold_ _•l __Use fabric softener with your polyester clothing, to minimize or prevent its tendency to become stiff and sometimes itchy_ _•l __ Hang the polyester clothing on a clothesline to dry. You may also dry it in an electric or gas dryer, but on a low setting. Because polyester holds creases so well, make sure to remove it from the dryer promptly and hang it up or fold it to prevent serious creasing_ _•l __ Have your polyester clothing dry cleaned if you don't want to wash it yourself. Most polyester clothing is safe for dry cleaning_ _•l __ Use hand dishwashing liquid to remove spots from some polyester clothing items. It can work very well. If you're reluctant to try dishwashing liquid for spot removal, buy a spot remover that lists polyester_ _•l __Put baby powder on a piece of polyester clothing if you get oil on it. Place the powder directly on the oil spot. After letting it set for an hour or more, wash the garment in the washing machine _ Package Included: * 1 x Women's Dress

Port infrastructure: Green Paper
This Green Paper aims to launch a debate on the efficiency of ports and maritime infrastructure, their integration into the multimodal trans-European network and the application of competition rules to this sector.
Green Paper of 10 December 1997 on seaports and maritime infrastructure [COM(97) 678 final - Not published in the Official Journal]
The port sector handles more than 90% of the Union's trade with third countries and approximately 30% of intra-EU traffic, as well as over 200 million passengers every year. The sector shows great diversity between regions in terms of structure, operation, organisation and legal framework.
Competition between and within ports is increasing for a number of reasons, highlighting factors that distort trade flows between Member States:
A Community framework is needed to ensure the principle of free and fair competition.
Ports and the common transport policy
The Green Paper notes that ports have so far not been at the centre of the common transport policy. However, they have a role to play in the trans-European transport network (TEN-T) by:
To connect the TEN-T with the networks of Central and Eastern Europe and the Mediterranean, the Commission proposes that standards be promoted in these ports comparable to those found in Community ports. The programmes for cooperation with third countries contribute to achieving this aim.
Intermodal transport is an essential component of the common transport policy for sustainable mobility. In this context, the importance of ports is clear in that they are crucial connecting points, transferring goods and passengers between maritime and land-based modes. Improved port efficiency will contribute to the integration of modes in a single system, on condition that there is interoperability and interconnection between systems (common information system, reduction of administrative procedures, standardisation of loading units).
Despite the increasing turnover in European ports, intra-European maritime traffic has not yet increased its market share vis � vis that of the road transport sector. The promotion and integration of short sea shipping into environmentally-friendly multimodal transport networks has become an objective of the Union's transport policy. Priority is therefore given to short sea shipping projects in the TEN-T and measures will be supported under the PACT programme (the new Marco Polo programme). A cost-recovery pricing policy in road transport that would better internalise external costs would be instrumental in boosting short sea shipping.
The Green Paper stresses the importance of maritime safety. Primarily focused on ships, this nevertheless also has a direct impact on ports, as it requires port authorities to co-operate in the implementation or enforcement of the legislation and to ensure a high level of port services such as pilotage, mooring and towage that are intrinsically linked to the safety of ships. The Commission also makes suggestions for improving the integration of environmental considerations in the planning of port development.
Finally, in the context of R&D programmes, the Commission supports maritime and port projects, including cargo tracking and tracing and electronic chart display and information systems.
Financing and charging for ports and maritime infrastructure
The financing of ports and maritime infrastructure and policies on charging their users vary from one country to another, reflecting the considerable differences in the approach taken towards their ownership and organisation. Ports may be owned by the State, regional or local governments or by private enterprises. In the past, ports tended to be seen mainly as suppliers of services of general economic interest provided by the public sector and financed by the taxpayer, whereas now the trend has moved towards considering ports as commercial entities which ought to recover their costs from port users who benefit from them directly. The port industry can therefore be seen as an industry in transition.
The Green Paper assesses the EU's current position, in particular with regard to State aid to the maritime transport sector. It highlights the lack of transparency of port accounts, transparency being an essential condition for the effective and fair application of State aid provisions, and suggests that stock be taken of public aid granted to the major ports handling international traffic and of current port charging practices. It shows the need for a new direction in EU policy and proposes a Community framework for port charging.
A step-by-step approach is required, accompanied by a general approach to the pricing and financing of infrastructure for all modes of transport. Other factors should be taken into account when establishing this framework, in particular the fact that a certain number of European ports are located in less developed and peripheral areas or on islands. The framework should therefore be flexible enough to meet their needs.
In the port area, the Commission advocates a general framework requiring charges to be linked to costs. The most frequent port charges are:
Depending on the individual port, these charges reflect to varying degrees the use of services and facilities, both of which should be addressed in a future charging framework.
Different approaches are possible with regard to infrastructure costs:
According to the Green Paper, the long-term objective of an infrastructure pricing policy should be to charge for marginal social costs (capital, operating, environmental and congestion costs) of infrastructure use. This would ensure that investments are demand-driven and would also ensure fair competition in the port sector in the longer term.
Outside the port area, the Commission advocates a user-pays policy for all modes of transport, which would make for fair competition and affect the distribution of cargo flows among European ports.
The Commission is particularly interested in:
Port services: organisation and market access
Ports provide a range of services and facilities: pilotage, towage, mooring, cargo-handling, storage, etc. They also offer ancillary services, such as fire-fighting, bunkering, water supply and waste-reception facilities. Depending on the port, these services are provided either as a comprehensive package or separately, either on request or automatically.
As to cargo-related services, cargo-handling has been one of the activities most profoundly affected by technological development and inter-port competition. The market trend is towards capital concentration, specialisation and vertical integration. The provision of these services is gradually being transferred from the public to the private sector in order to increase efficiency and reduce public expenditure on port labour costs.
With regard to services related to the ship, the Green Paper distinguishes between:
According to the Green Paper, these port services are to be seen as an integral part of the maritime transport system. Treaty rules, notably in the field of competition, should therefore be applied more systematically. This is consistent with the European Union's policy to encourage modernisation and efficiency of the sector, taking into account structural developments in world-wide competition.
In conclusion, a regulatory framework should be developed at Community level aiming at a more systematic liberalisation of the port services market in the main ports with international traffic. The aim of this framework would be to establish a level playing field between and within Community ports while ensuring compliance with port and maritime safety standards.
Directive 2005/65/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 October 2005 on enhancing port security (Text with EEA relevance) [Official Journal L 310 of 25.11.2005].

Grand Theft Auto IV: The Ballad of Gay Tony
|Corner Kids
|Mrs. Lopez
Head over to Luis' mother's apartment at the north end of Algonquin, off of Frankfort Avenue. When you arrive, you'll watch a lengthy cutscene with Luis and his two friends from the old neighborhood. While Luis has moved on to other parts of the city, and to a much more lucrative job, his old friends are still slinging drugs, and not being too smart about it, either. Luis gets into a conversation with them as they walk towards Luis's mother's apartment. After speaking to his mother outside, the boys tell Luis that they have a deal that they can loop him into. Luis says that the last time they went into business together, he went away for two years. Nonetheless, he agrees to go see what's up. This has "bad news" written all over it.
Get in Luis' friends' SUV, and begin your drive towards the western coast of Broker. As usual, the GPS will bring you where you need to go. The quickest route will no doubt bring you south in Algonquin, and then east over the Broker Bridge. Once you're over the bridge, you can then nestle your way towards the docks on the western edge of the borough, off of Mohanet Avenue. When you arrive, you'll run into Luis' friends' connection, but it doesn't take long for things to sour. Sirens are heard in the distance -- lots of them -- and the boys scurry away from one another after spreading around the blame as to who brought the cops to the scene. Regardless of who's to blame, you better get ready for a fight!
This fight with the cops will be a lengthy one, but thankfully, you'll never be in much danger, as long as you battle smart. Stay behind the brick wall you begin the fight behind for the duration of the first half of the conflict. Your friends may run out and fight the cops from a closer range, but don't follow their lead until you're sure it's safe. Simply take your time and fight from behind the wall. If you want to cause the cop cars the police are using as protection to explode, feel free to aim at their front ends, which will detonate both of them in short order. When this first wave of cops are felled, you can then run forward to the other side of the street, to clean up any residuals.
The second half of the battle will begin when the enemies across the street from where the drug deal was supposed to go down have been eliminated. You may be confused as to how to proceed, but just wait. Police reinforcements will show up on the far side of the wall ahead of you and to the left, and they will bust a hole through said wall, allowing you to head through. Deal with these heavily-armed police as well, again staying behind cover for as long as possible. Things will get complicated when you and your friends try to flee the scene, and a police chopper shows up. You'll find yourself automatically armed with an RPG, which you can use to take down the helicopter with one well-aimed shot.
Once the last wave of police are killed and their chopper is downed, you're free to jack any car around you and head back to Algonquin. Be sure you don't leave the area without both of your friends in the car, or you may fail the mission and be forced to try again. As usual, follow the GPS back to where you need to be, and listen to the humorous conversation that ensues as you head off. It appears that Luis' friends have roped him back into the business, and as a result, a new feature in this DLC appears -- Drug Wars. These optional side missions are now unlocked, and by undertaking them, you'll help Luis' friends gain more and more money, and earn a profit yourself. Once you've dropped your friends off at Vespucci Circle, this mission will come to a conclusion.

Almquist scored at 6:10 and 11:50 with shots from the point to put the Red Wings ahead 3-1.
Brandon Sutter netted the lone Pittsburgh goal at 1:05 of the second, to get the Penguins even at 1.
Tatar opened the scoring when he took a failed wraparound attempt and tucked the puck under the crossbar at 12:56 of the first.
Both starting goalies worked two periods. Tomas Vokoun allowed four goals on 15 shots for the Penguins. Detroit's Jimmy Howard made 13 saves.

I miss Haruhi
Join Date: Sep 2011
I'm quite new in the forum, but i hope this won't be such a problem:
I've read all the novels and watched all the anime episodes + the movie, and i wanted to open a topic to expose my thought. The reason i can't do this in any other existing topic is because the argument is really huge (I made 4 pages of Word_file) and it would otherwise get forgotten after some page.
The topic would be about a first general overview of the anime, followed by a deep analysis of each character concerning Kyon and Haruhi relation.
It is surely hard to understand why such topic should be opened, so i first would like to show you what i wanted to post. If you tell me when, i'll send you the word file, so you can read it and understand why such thing requires its own thread. I promise you it won't be anything boring, beside that it will surely give you new ideas.
Waiting for an answer, feel free to contact me anytime. See you
tomorrow i got an exam, so i should be back during the afternoon

Since you are reviewing the series and characters, then these two series impressions threads would be the best place for your discussion:
The Final Thoughts & Overall Series Impressions of Haruhi Suzumiya
The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya - Overall Series Impressions & Total Series Rating
I wouldn't worry about your discussion being forgotten since these two threads haven't had any posts in them for a while.

Just so you know, I moved your post to the Surprise Spoiler thread. You forgot to mention that your post would contain unmarked spoilers from the latest novel, and that's not allowed in anime threads.

You also appear to have deleted it as well though. Was that intentional? or a slip of the fingers (moving it seems logical, but then deleting it, after moving it, seems odd.) Unless something else happened of course. I, was just heading over to read it and found it not there, that is all.

Considering that Full Metal Panic hasn't been retired yet, I doubt Haruhi thread will be retired. One imagines there will be more talking again once various novel translations come out. Also if another book in announced.
What likely needs to happen is the Genderbending threads need to be active again, as they sort of carried the threads in 2008 when nothing was happening at all aside from a long waiting game that was a know waiting game (we knew another novel was coming and were being teased with Disappeaeance since a while before that). Now we don't have any teases, just a thought that they might not want to keep the threads hanging from the movie.

As anyone who has looked at the thread lately can see, the All About Haruhi Suzumiya thread is woefully out of date. I'm in the middle of revising it to include details relating to the movie as well as updating the major timeline to include details from the latest novels.
I felt I should ask here if there is anything that should be added to the thread, such as a topic or a question to go in the FAQ. I've added Kimidori as well as Mori and Arakawa to the characters, so they're taken care of already. There's no rush to get things in as I don't imagine it'll be updated until a week or two to allow for final editing to be finished, but I'd like it to remain spoiler-free as it has been.

Nice photo Genevieve! Do you ever get much chance to talk to the Mennonite and Amish folks?
Also was wondering about the Amish--think you mentioned there were New Order Amish, and wasn't sure if you said there were Old Order as well--also do you know if there are any from the Swartzentruber or related groups?
- Genevieve said...
I talk to my Mennonite neighbors frequently. One family lives about 1/4 mile down the road from us, and the other's barns are just a few hundred yards across our back fence.
I don't know enough about the Amish to tell you what particular groups they are from, except that they seem to fall into the more modern tractor-driving New Order, and the extremely, severely plain-dressed Old Order.

Healing Hands-part of an aromatic tool kit
Posted on February 28, 2012 0
Healing Hands-part of an aromatic tool kit
By Kelly Holland Azzaro, RA, CCAP, CBFP, LMT
As a professional practitioner who works with her hands on a daily basis to give holistic therapies (by way of aromatherapy, reflexology, Swedish, therapeutic, clinical, hot stone, acupressure, lymphatic, cranial sacral, Reiki, facial and scalp massage) for over twenty years, I sometimes take for granted how hard my hands really work for me and my clients. These hands of mine are strong yet soft to the touch from immersion in carrier oils and natural scrubs, sculpted from years of accurate work and aged like a fine wine, or better yet, a rich rose essential oil. My work seems to develop more each year as clients share how they benefit from the healing modality that massage and aromatherapy offers on many levels.
I could easily forget that essential oils offer amazing therapeutic properties and a variety of applications as this is second nature. Then a client will ask: 'Wow, what is that amazing scent on the tissue you put in the face cradle for me?' I place a different scent for each client. A simple recipe would be one drop of lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) and one drop of lemon (Citrus limonum), two of the most attainable and easy to use essential oils in aromatherapy, to help that client achieve relaxation and stress relief. The lemon also helps most clients let go of the brain fog from a day or week filled with mental tasks, cluttered thoughts and decisions. The lavender tops off the relaxation process by producing a sense of peace and the ability to breathe deeply and let go of tension.
This gets me to wondering how it is that such easy going scents elicit such instant changes in a client, shifting their energy from tense to relaxed, stressed to calm, chatty to snoring. Is it the instant aroma to brain effect, the agreeability of the scent, the client's appreciation for the extra benefit of essential oil therapy and the touch of caring, experienced hands?. Though we know the power of the nose to brain and lungs to blood, I'm sure it is a bit of all these benefits combined. The effort of taking the time and energy to learn about true aromatherapy and how it can be added into so many holistic therapies, especially massage therapy, is surely something that is well worth the effort and investment.
When times are stressful for clients and they come to you for the gift you give in your own healing hands, isn't is wonderful that you have an aromatic tool kit filled with aromas of therapeutic and emotional value? Clients also give you the opportunity to grow and learn. Each session brings the potential to expand your awareness of effective essential oil applications, massage techniques and to generate the abundance of health, happiness and prosperity for both of you. (I personally feel that a massage session without essential oils is like the proverbial day without sunshine.)
Take a look at your hands and be grateful for the strength that they provide in your work, the gentleness they offer by extending a helping hand to someone in need, the wisdom seen in the faith, love and life palm lines and then the gift of passing all onto others by teaching and example. Hands are indeed healing tools on many levels.
Give back to your wonderful hands by treating them with love and respect. Here are a few aromatic ways you can treat yourself and others to a special hand pampering:
Aromatic Hand Exfoliant Scrub Recipe: 4 ounce size
- Turbinado and white sugar: 3 ounces total (mix these sugars in a ratio based on your needs: turbinado is a natural sugar that is larger grained then simple white sugar while white sugar offers a lighter texture for more sensitive skin)
- Jojoba (Simmondsia chinensis) or your favorite carrier oil: 1 ounce
Pure Essential Oils of:
- Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) 4- 6 drops
- Patchouli (Pogostemon cablin) 8-10 drops
- Sweet Orange (Citrus sinensis) 8 drops
- Ylang Ylang (Cananga odorata) 4 drops
After scrubbing each hand, remove the aromatic sugar granules with a moist warm towel (or rinse under sink if self applying) and follow with a hand massage using your favorite hand cream or try the recipe below:
Healing Hands Oil Treatment: 4 ounce size
Base: 4 ounces of: Jojoba (Simmondsia chinensis) and Apricot Kernel oil (Prunus armeniaca) (or make a base out of your favorite carrier, such as sweet almond oil or, for a thicker consistency and intense moisture combine olive and avocado oil)
Essential Oils:
- Carrot Seed (Daucus carota) 4-6 drops
- Geranium (Pelargonium graveolens) 4 drops
- Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) 4-6 drops
- Palmarosa (Cymbopogon martinii) 4-6 drops
Note: Recipes are for topical use only. If irritation occurs discontinue use. Keep out of reach of children and pets.

Network blasted for demonizing ex-'gays'
'Who watches CBS anymore anyway?'
A former homosexual who founded Parents and Friends of ExGays and Gays says Hollywood's latest attack on people who leave the homosexual lifestyle reveals how much "gays" fear those individuals.
"They are so afraid of people discovering their sexuality and realizing that no one is born a homosexual and learning that they can actually change if they want to," said Greg Quinlan about the issue raised by a recent episode of CBS' "Criminal Minds."
"It is for this reason that they preach against us with such hate and venom, attacking us for exercising our right of self-determination," he said.
The heart of the issue is that if people who leave the homosexual lifestyle exist, it disproves the assumption that some are born homosexual and cannot change, the prevailing belief in the homosexual community.
Sparking the comments was a recent episode of "Criminal Minds" that featured a team of FBI profilers that investigates serial killers. In the Feb. 20 episode, titled "Broken," a serial killer is murdering women and homosexual men in what appears to be a series of sex crimes.
The episode makes a startling claim as the killer is a person who received conversion therapy as a young man to overcome homosexual attractions. According to the characters in the show, the therapy caused him to believe that acting on his same-sex attraction is wrong. This belief causes him to violently attack people, because he is conflicted about his sexual orientation.
"This man can't accept his same-sex desires, but he can't fight them either," one of the profilers explains. "He's most likely been repressing all sexual urges for some time.
"He is trapped in a scenario with an impossible outcome. He can't force himself to like women, so when he is unable to get aroused he becomes depressed again and lashes out in anger to the people he blames for his impotence."
The show portrays members of the ex-"gay" community as ticking time bombs who are potential serial killers. In one scene, a computer screen shot features a report portraying "The Ex-Gay Movement." The description states that cautioning children to not have homosexual thoughts was harmful and that individuals merely claimed they had changed their same-sex attraction.
"It is obvious that the ex-gay movement has become such a threat to the homosexual agenda that their allies in the media and entertainment industry now feel they have to work so diligently to discredit us," said Quinlan. "Why is this so high on their agenda? Is CBS now so desperate to try to get any kind of market share in primetime that they have to go this route?
"Who watches CBS anymore anyway?"
Linda Harvey, founder of Mission America, says the episode is plain and simple discrimination.
"There is absolutely no evidence behind the premise of the show. It is total and complete propaganda," Harvey said. "Not only is it discriminating against these individuals, they slam everyone who is attempting to overcome these feelings even though there is no evidence that these feelings are inborn and say your opinions on the issue don't matter."
The show claims that conversion therapy traumatizes patients and routinely employs torture. The program claims electroshock therapy is used and underage children are forced to have sex with a prostitute while their parents watch.
"Several conversion camps have been shut down recently because their methods border on torture," one of the FBI agents says.
In the end, a counselor is arrested while children who apparently had been forced to watch pornographic videos while being hooked up to some type of drug administered by an IV are freed.
The episode aired one day after Liberty Counsel issued its final brief with the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals arguing against a California law that would ban conversion therapy. The court had previously granted Liberty Counsel's motion blocking the law from going into effect.
The law would prevent counselors from attempting to change a child's sexual orientation, even if the patient wanted the therapy.
Mat Staver, founder of Liberty Counsel, said it was outrageous that Hollywood would produce such a blatant misrepresentation of what occurs during conversion therapy.
"It is shocking that they would be so blatant and so insensitive to simply disregard the reality of what takes place during this change therapy," Staver said. "They're looking at some therapies that may have used shock treatment three decades ago that are no longer used. That's like looking at somebody who performed a lobotomy on someone years ago and suggest that this is modern practice for the conversion therapy movement. It is simply inaccurate and irresponsible for the media to portray something that was done many years ago as being part of modern therapy techniques like this particular episode does."
He explained the reality is that conversion therapy is no different than any other type of counseling being done today.
"It's no different than marriage therapy. It all revolves around talking and listening to the client while trying to find out what their objectives and goals are," he explained. "The client has the right to set their own counseling objectives and the counselor attempts to help them reach those objectives. It's the same type of counseling a person would receive if they were struggling with infidelity or depression because they had just lost their job or lost a loved one."
Harvey said the episode is part of a larger movement to portray conversion therapy as hateful while portraying ex-"gays" as unstable people who are a threat to everyone around them.
"The homosexual lobby and its supporters are now deciding there is a desperate need to discredit people who want to partake in conversion therapy," Harvey said.
She said it's really surprising, because homosexual groups long have argued that sexuality is "fluid" and people can move into the homosexual lifestyle.
Harvey noted that the writers are simply mimicking information presented on the Southern Poverty Law Center website.
"The SPLC has a map on their website targeting individual conversion counselors around the country," she warned. "This map is amazing in light of the FBI finding that Floyd Corkins, who attempted to murder scores of people at the Family Research Council, was a homosexual activist who got his information about the FRC from the SPLC website."
She noted there is a real danger from attempts by homosexual activists to demonize ex-"gays" and conversion therapists.
"These groups do not care about kids, all they care about is their agenda and whatever they have to do to manipulate people into committing violence against the Christian community. Their goal is to make people who were thinking about supporting conversion counseling to no longer support it," she said.
Harvey said ex-"gays" and Christians should call the network and demand an apology for the inaccurate portrayal of conversion therapy and the ex-"gay" movement.
"It's beyond jaw-dropping how full of lies this episode is. It is harmful, insulting and people need to call the network demanding an apology to the Christian community and all of the ex-homosexuals out of there who've successfully left this lifestyle," she said. "If they're going to do a show on this, they need to also do a show on the harm done by groups like PFLAG and others who were pushing children into the homosexual lifestyle."
The SPLC appears to agree with the premise of the show. On the website the group declares that conversion therapy is "a dangerous practice" and can have "devastating consequences."

Patricia and Daniel's Sausalito home is amazing and one-of-a-kind. First of all, it's a houseboat. The entire home was crafted in the traditional Japanese method of Joinery, which doesn't use any nails.
This "magical waterfront oasis" is beloved by both the couple and their friends. The style is rustic with a contemporary twist, and the kitchen, though small, feels very intimate and cozy due to the dark wood and black countertops.

Bloch type sphygmomanometer, Paris, France, 1881-1913
The first sphygmomanometer was devised by Samuel Von Basch (1837-1905) in 1881. It measured blood pressure by slowly applying a measured force to the skin over an artery until the pulse disappeared. However, the instrument was not widely used as doctors were wary of replacing traditional methods of using their fingers to determine pulse or that any information from the sphygmomanometer was useful. This variation was devised by A. M. Bloch. It uses a spring to record the weight necessary to obliterate the pulse. The device was made in Paris by scientific instrument maker Charles Verdin.

BOSTON, Dec. 3 (UPI) -- A tobacco company attorney told a Massachusetts court a landmark $152 million verdict in 2004 against the company was legally flawed and should be overturned.
Willie Evans, 42, a staff attorney for the Massachusetts Teachers Association, won a wrongful-death suit against the Lorillard Tobacco Co. on behalf of his mother, Marie Evans, who died of lung cancer at age 54 in 2004. Evans claimed Lorillard's giveaways of Newport cigarettes in her Boston-area housing project led to a nicotine addiction by the time she was 13.
In an oral argument Monday before the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court, Lorillard attorney Paul F. Ware Jr. said no evidence was presented in the case that directly linked the free cigarettes to Marie Evans' smoking addiction, The Boston Globe reported.
"It remains the plaintiff's burden to show something unique about Newport," he said in requesting the court to vacate the ruling.
He added the judge in the 2004 trial, Superior Court Judge Elizabeth M. Fahey, erred when she ruled Willie Evans could collect 12 percent interest on the award until he received it.
Lorillard is asking the court, at minimum, to reduce the award to Willie Evans and his late mother's estate to $1 million, the Boston Herald said Monday.

Distcc is a program designed to distribute compiling tasks across a network to
participating hosts. It is comprised of a server,
If you are planning on using distcc to help you bootstrap a Gentoo installation,
make sure you read the part on
To start off with, to use Distcc all of the computers on your network need to have the same GCC versions. Mixing 3.3.x (where the x varies) is okay, but mixing 3.3.x and 3.2.x is not: your programs will have errors in it.
There are a couple of options you should know about before you start installing distcc.
Distcc ships with a graphical monitor to monitor tasks that your computer is sending away for compilation. If you use Gnome then put 'gnome' in your USE flags. However, if you don't use Gnome and would still like to have the monitor then you should put 'gtk' in your USE flags.
# emerge distcc
Setting up distcc is easy to do with Portage. Execute the following steps on each system that should participate in the distributed compiling:
# emerge distcc # nano -w /etc/make.conf
(Set N to a suitable number for your particular setup) (A common heuristic strategy is twice the number of total CPUs + 1)MAKEOPTS="-jN" (Add distcc to your FEATURES variable)FEATURES="distcc"
Next you have to specify what hosts you want to use. Use the
192.168.0.1 192.168.0.2 192.168.0.3 192.168.0.1/2 192.168.0.2 192.168.0.3/10 192.168.0.1:4000/2 192.168.0.2/1 192.168.0.3:3632/4 @192.168.0.1 @192.168.0.2:/usr/bin/distccd 192.168.0.3
(There are also several other methods of setting up hosts. See the distcc manpage for more details.)
It may all look complicated, but in most cases a variant of line 1 or 2 will work.
Since most people won't be using lines 3 or 4, I'll
For instance, to set the first line in the previous example:
# /usr/bin/distcc-config --set-hosts "192.168.0.1 192.168.0.2 192.168.0.3"
Now start the distcc daemon on all the participating computers:
(Add distccd to the default runlevel)# rc-update add distccd default (Start the distcc daemon)# /etc/init.d/distccd start
This is in some cases easier than the Portage setup. What you have to do is
update your
# export PATH="/usr/lib/ccache/bin:/usr/lib/distcc/bin:${PATH}"
Then, as you would normally type
Cross-compiling is using one architecture to build programs for another architecture. This can be as simple as using an Athlon (i686) to build a program for a K6-2 (i586), or using a Sparc to build a program for a ppc.
If you want to give Cross-compiling a try you can emerge the crossdev package. I can't support it since I didn't write it, but that's a good way to start cross-compiling.
Boot your new box with a Gentoo Linux LiveCD and follow the
# nano -w /etc/make.conf
(Add distcc to the FEATURES variable)FEATURES="distcc" (Modify MAKEOPTS to include -jN with N an appropriate integer)MAKEOPTS="-jN"
# export PATH="/usr/lib/ccache/bin:/usr/lib/distcc/bin:${PATH}"
Before the installation of distcc, a user called distcc must be added to the
# echo "distcc:x:240:2:distccd:/dev/null:/bin/false" >> /etc/passwd
Install distcc:
# USE='-*' emerge --nodeps distcc
(Substitute host1, host2, ... with the IP number(s) of the participating hosts)# /usr/bin/distcc-config --set-hosts "localhost host1 host2 host3 ..." An example: /usr/bin/distcc-config --set-hosts "localhost 192.168.0.4 192.168.0.6"
distcc is now set up to bootstrap! Continue the official installation
instructions and
As you emerge various packages, you'll notice that some of them aren't being distributed (and aren't being built in parallel). This is because the developers of the Mozilla and Xfree ebuilds intentionally disable parallel building because it is known to cause problems.
Sometimes distcc might cause a package to fail to compile. If this happens
for you, please
With such a long title any explanation here is almost irrelevent. However, if
you plan to use distcc across hosts that have the
The solution requires a little foresight on your part; you have to run
If you have different GCC versions on your hosts, there will likely be very weird problems. The solution is to make certain all hosts have the same GCC version.
Distcc ships with two monitors. The text-based one is always built and is
The other monitor is only turned on if you enabled
# distccmon-text N
(Or)# distccmon-gnome To monitor Portage's distcc usage you can use:# DISTCC_DIR=`portageq envvar DISTCC_DIR` distccmon-text N (Or)# DISTCC_DIR=`portageq envvar DISTCC_DIR` distccmon-gnome

Difference between revisions of "Taishan"
Revision as of 13:11, 21 May 2012
Taishan (台山; Táishān; Cantonese pronunciation toisan) is a city in Guangdong Province in China. It falls under the administration of Jiangmen Prefecture.
Taishan City-level County is divided into 20 townships.
The mainland townships are Baisha, Beidou, Chixi, Chonglou, Diajiang, Doushan, Duanfen, Duhu, Guanghai, Haiyan, Nafu, Sanba, Sanhe, Shenjing, Shuibu, Sijiu, Taicheng and Wencun. The island townships are Shangchuan and Xiachuan.
Sanba was merged into Baisha and Nafu into Shenjing in 2006. Shangchuan and Xiachun on the Chuandao Islands are governed as a single entity. Taicheng, or Toising, is the administrative capital and the largest township by far with the most of the civilized amenities.
Get in
From most major cities in the Guangdong province, you can take direct buses to the main city of Taicheng.
For international travellers arriving in Hong Kong, you have several options.
For international travellers arriving in Macau, cross into China at Gongbei. As you walk out into Zhuhai, you will see stairs going down into an underground shopping mall. The mall is a maze but it will let you cross the streets without the need to play "frogger" with aggressive Chinese drivers. Keep an eye out for the signs to point you to the bus station. The bus ride from Zhuhai to Taicheng will take about 2 hours and cost ¥65.
For international travellers arriving in Guangzhou:
Get around
To travel between the towns of Taishan, local buses go everywhere. The two main bus stations in Taicheng are Taishan Central "Juong Cheh Jaam" and "Top Saan" stations.
Within any of the towns in Taishan, expect to use taxis whether 4-wheel cars, motorcycles or 3-wheelers. In the smaller towns, motorcycle and 3-wheel taxis will be the only option.
Taishan towns are relatively small and flat so biking is a good way to get around. At ¥200 to purchase a 1-speed commuter bicycle, it may be cheaper/easier to buy and sell it afterwards at a loss than to find a fancier rental.
Finally, you can hire a van taxi to drive you around both within the local cities and between them.
The local language of Taishan is Taishanese "Hoisanwah" (99% similar to the local languages of Kaiping and Enping), which is a Yue Chinese language like Cantonese and often considered a dialect of it even though it's truly not, and it's only marginally mutually intelligible with it. However, Cantonese is the lingua franca of Guangdong province (outside of Shenzhen where Mandarin dominates) while Mandarin is the national official language, so most non-elderly locals would be able to speak both Cantonese and Mandarin at least decently.
As in most of China, English is, long story short, non-existent.
The word "shan" in Mandarin (saan in Cantonese) means mountain and Taishan is chock full of them. Almost any small village you visit with have a picturesque landscape towering above fields of rice. Most of the time, these mountains are not hikeable but during tomb sweeping month (see below in the Do section), trails will be cleared.
Many areas around the world are famous for exporting foods and goods from the local area. Taishan is famous for exporting people. Everybody in Taishan has a relative who just emigrated to another "country" (whether developed in North America/Europe/Hong Kong/Singapore or developing ones in Latin America/Africa). Some are waiting their turns for their parents/off-spring/siblings to sponsor them and many more get money sent to them from overseas.
Hence Taishan's primary industry is leisure for not only vacationing overseas Taishanese but for the many locals who don't need to work. What you will find are scores of karaoke clubs, hair salons, foot massage parlors, facial treatment parlors, hotspring spas (outside Taicheng), internet bars.
The most famous dish in Taishan is Stone Bowl Eel Rice "Wong Seen Fon". In Guangdong's major cities, a scattering of restaurants will have "Toisan Wong Seen Fon" as a specialty but Taishan is the place to go to experience the original, especially Shuibu Town. Rice is first cooked halfway before being mixed with precooked eel in a clay pot. The clay pot is then fired up to finish cooking the rice. Where the rice touches the clay pot, oil from the precooked eel drips down and makes a crispy layer called "fon jil". (Taishanese call this layer "nuong" which is also the word for burnt.)
Also popular amongst Taishan locals are restaurants that serve western, Cantonese and coffee/tea. In the local language, this is referred to as "Cha Chaan Teang" which roughly translates to Tea Cuisine. If you have a hankering for sandwiches, steaks, pizza or spaghetti, you can halfway satisfy your need. The western foods are cooked in a style similar to "Hong Kong style fast food" you might find in Chinatowns across the world.
Finally, Taishanese love late night dining. After dinner at 6PM, it is common for locals to head out at about 9PM-10PM to fill their stomachs with everything from dim sum to street vendor fare to breakfast foods to desserts.
There are three main fruits that are grown locally:
The following places have free WIFI for customers. Some will be password protected but don't be shy to ask for the password -- say "serng mong mut mah" and point to your smartphone/tablet/laptop.
There are also numerous internet cafes "mong bahr". Near Pedestrian St, you will find one at:
Pharmacies are plentiful in Taicheng. Here are two listings:
Stay healthy
When it gets warmer (over 80F/25C), mosquitoes come out in droves. Unlike more modern cities, there are plenty of streams, ponds and rice paddies for these blood sucking insects to breed. Many locals don't show much reaction to bites but if you have no such resistance, you may soon be sporting ugly welts. Pick up mosquito repellent "mun pah suoy" and avoid shorts even though it can get scorching hot during summer days.
And did I mention scorching hot? Temperatures over 90F (32C) are pretty common during the summer with an extra +10F/+5C for humidity. Apply sunscreen generously and carry an umbrella to keep the sun off your head. The umbrella also will be useful for the summer thunderstorms that roll through without warning.
Men in China smoke like fiends and Taishan is no different. (Females rarely smoke in mainland China.) If you can't handle the smell of second-hand smoke, stick with either outdoors restaurants or places with private rooms. Luckily, almost every medium/large restaurant will have private rooms. The key words to say are "law fong" which in this context means "get me a room".
Stay safe
In Taicheng's outer neighborhoods, streets with have either wide sidewalks or separate roadways for bikes/mopeds. But inside the shopping core around Pedestrian street, sidewalks will often be blocked by motorcycles/mopeds or vendor wares. Hence expect to be walking alongside car traffic while hugging parked cars. Obviously if you can find stop lights to cross at, walk the extra block instead of saving the few minutes. Where not available, you will need to follow locals in crossing to the middle of the street and then waiting for traffic on the other side to subside. Luckily, drivers in Taishan are not as psychotic as in other parts of China as I have yet to observe the absolute blatant disregard of traffic lights and laws common in Hainan. While most won't stop to let pedestrians cross, they at least won't purposely try to endanger you. No sudden moves, let cars work their way around you and keep alert.
Traffic is mostly light except for 4 commute periods. For a less chaotic walking experience, avoid these times:
Get out

Ian Bonham, in his article "What Linux Really Needs is a Killer Game"
It's an interesting goal, but I personally don't think we need to get that drastic.
After having a nice long talk with Chris DiBona, Ryan Gordon, Timothee Besset, Gavriel State, and Joe Valenzuela about where Linux currently stands and how it will one day become a premier gaming platform, it became perfectly clear to me that most of the technological issues are already solved, and that the others won't take too long to fix once the game publishers really get into the mix.
Want to know more? Check out the April issue of LinuxWorld Magazine, on newsstands in two weeks' time. You'll find the main roundtable discussion written up there, an article on the standards currently used in Linux gaming (and cross-platform game development in general), and another one on the many little issues that are out there for better and worse in the current Linux gaming scene. You'll even find (gasp) commercial games written for Linux!
Rather than pushing for Linux-only games, my personal thought is to push for more cross-platform development. Let me invite you to read the April issue and then come post your thoughts about it on LinuxWorld.com. You might be surprised at where things stand. When I was asking around for folks "in the know" who had the time to participate in my roundtable, many of them said, "oh, this is a very timely topic."
That suggests to me that big things are happening somewhere.
