Space Candy writes, Here is the thing about Helen Thomas:
If you haven't heard the news yet, White House reporter and columnist Helen Thomas has announced her resignation, effective immediately. This is in response to comments she made about Jews getting out of Palestine; you can hear the comment straight from her mouth here. I'm not going to spend much time on her comment except to say I think it speaks for itself and I don't necessarily agree with it, but I think she had a point to be made, even if it is one that not all would agree with, and she made it poorly. She also apologized. The reaction to her comment has mostly been a collective of outrage, and I think we can all understand why.
But in that collective outrage is a lot of sexist, ageist crap. And here's the thing about Helen Thomas: She has been hearing that sexist crap her entire career (and I would venture to say even before that), and she has been hearing the ageist crap for probably two decades now, and she still showed up to work and went about her business of being Helen Thomas. (Who thinks being Helen Thomas has been easy? Anyone?)
Miriam at Feministing tells us that Al and Tipper Gore to separate after forty years of marriage:
By now you've probably heard the news that former Vice President Al Gore and his wife Tipper are divorcing after more than forty years of marriage. The couple announced the split yesterday in an email to friends:
After a great deal of thought and discussion, we have decided to separate," the Gores wrote in an e-mail to friends. "This is very much a mutual and mutually supportive decision that we have made together."
The media, unsurprisingly, is pretty obsessed with speculating and lamenting the end of this marriage.
Al and Tipper had a publicly romantic marriage (remember the awkward kiss at the Democratic National Convention in 2000?), one that was in stark contrast to the tumultuous and seemingly cold Bill and Hillary Clinton marriage.
One question to be asked here is why the media (and the American public) cares so much about the private romantic lives of our politicians. Or our pop stars and public figures for that matter? I often find myself wishing they would be left alone when these media tirades begin. Relationships are hard enough on their own, I can't imagine adding the scrutiny of the American public to the mix.
Miranda Simon at Salon interviewed professor Robert Crews, an expert on Afghanistan at Stanford University, about the The "peace jirga" and Afghan women: "What would a truce with the Taliban mean for the liberation of the country's women?"
As the third and final day of Afghanistan's three-day peace conference gets underway, it's worth asking what its implications are for the country's women. After all, the "jirga" is focused on a proposal to offer money and jobs to the Taliban — a group not exactly known for valuing the rights of women — if they give up their violent ways.
Soon after President Obama took office, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton reaffirmed her commitment to Afghan women, and resistance to the Taliban. Now, President Obama is backing Karzai's proposal and, according to the Guardian's Jonathan Steele, many women in Afghanistan do too, despite potential setbacks to their freedoms. After interviewing a diverse sample of Afghan women, he came to the conclusion that their desire for peace trumps their desire for liberation. Salon took these thorny issues to professor Robert Crews, an expert on Afghanistan at Stanford University, and co-editor of the book "The Taliban and the Crisis of Afghanistan," in search of some much-needed clarity.
Why is President Karzai reaching out to the Taliban, and why do you think the U.S. has backed this decision?
Karzai came to power promising amnesty for Taliban fighters and has repeated various versions of an amnesty proclamation since. The international community has mostly pretended that they are not real political actors. Karzai doesn't have that luxury.
Jess McCabe at The F Word writes in Is It Time for Abortion to Return to the Political Agenda?
Anti-choice lobbyists are gearing up as the new coalition government settles in. We should not let them define the terms of debate, says Lisa Ansell, instead we should push for women's right to access abortion to be shored up
I take for granted the right to autonomy over my body. I have grown up secure in the knowledge that, should I ever find myself pregnant, the law is unlikely to force me to continue a pregnancy against my will. I am part of a generation of British women who look at the rhetoric of the debate around women's healthcare issues in the US and count our blessings that we are so progressive that our 'right' to safe, legal termination of a pregnancy is not threatened.
It seems that my complacency is shared. In the run up to the election – often described as the 'Mumsnet' election – there was little discussion of abortion. The Fawcett Society established the position of each political party on issues affecting women and did not mention it. We take for granted access to safe, legal terminations.
Stephanie Drahan from National Women's Law Center writes, We Asked, You Answered: This is How "the Pill" Changed Women's Lives
Back at the beginning of May, we requested that you share how access to the birth control pill impacted your lives. And thanks to your incredible participation, we got some incredible responses.
To finalize an incredible month of celebration of the golden anniversary of the Food and Drug Administration's approval of the birth control pill that has featured numerous blog posts, tweets and a survey of your stories, we are now releasing the final compilation of the 50 ways "the Pill" revolutionized women's lives.
There were happy stories:
When I was 16, my mom took me to the doctor to get the pill. It was one of the best things she ever did for me. I was the first in our family to graduate from college. Now, I'm married and pregnant and plan to do the same for our daughter when she's ready.
Scary stories:
The pill treated my horrific cramps and wildly irregular menstrual cycle. I also have partial complex seizures that are affected by my cycle and the medicine I take for them is estrogen-sensitive, so the pill also helped keep my estrogens at a stable level. For me, a happy side-effect is no unwanted pregnancies!

"Mormonism has a complicated political history," said Joanna Brooks, ReligionDispatches columnist and author of The Book of Mormon Girl. "It was only in the late 20th century that we saw a strong rightward turn."
Brooks said many LDS liberals were disappointed by Romney's now infamous comments about the 47% who do not pay income tax. They believe his remarks conflict with what their shared faith teaches about caring for the poor.
However, they also recognize Romney is the face of their faith right now. Brooks said she respects the burden Romney carries as the most public Mormon in the country.
"I feel incredibly protective of Romney," she said. "As much as I may disagree with his political stances, I don't want his religion to be an unfair target."
Yet Brooks said Romney represents only "one slice of our faith."

A look at the PyPy 2.0 release
May 1, 2007
This article was contributed by Thomas Gleixner
The version cycles of proprietary operating systems are completely different than the Linux kernel version cycles. Proprietary operating systems have release cycles measured in years; the Linux kernel, instead, is released about every three months with major updates to the functionality and feature set and changes to internal APIs. This fundamental difference is one of the hardest problems to handle for the corporate mindset.
One can easily understand that companies try to apply the same mechanisms which they applied to their formerly- (and still-) used operating systems in order not to change procedures of development and quality assurance. Jamming Linux into these existing procedures seems to be somehow possible, but it is one of the main contributions to the embedded Linux nightmare, preventing companies from tapping the full potential of open source software. Embedded distribution vendors are equally guilty as they try to keep up the illusion of the one-to-one replacement of proprietary operating systems by creating heavily patched Linux Kernel variants.
It is undisputed that kernel versions need to be frozen for product releases, but it can be observed that those freezes are typically done very early in the development cycle and are kept across multiple versions of the product or product family. These freezes, which are the vain attempt to keep the existing procedures alive, lead to backports of features found in newer kernel versions and create monsters which put the companies into the isolated situation of maintaining their unique fork forever, without the help of the community.
I was asked recently whether a backport of the new upcoming wireless network stack into Linux 2.6.10 would be possible. Of course it is possible, but it does not make any sense at all. Backporting such a feature requires backporting other changes in the network stack and many other places of the kernel as well, making it even more complex to verify and maintain. Each update and bug fix in the mainline code needs to be tracked and carefully considered for backporting. Bugfixes which are made in the backported code are unlikely to apply to later versions and are therefore useless for others.
During another discussion about backporting a large feature into an old kernel, I asked why a company would want to do that. The answer was: the quality assurance procedures would require a full verification when the kernel would be upgraded to a newer version. This is ridiculous. What level of quality does such a process assure when there is a difference between moving to a newer kernel version and patching a heavy feature set into an old kernel? The risk of adding subtle breakage into the old kernel with a backport is orders of magnitudes higher than the risk of breakage from an up-to-date kernel release. Up-to-date kernels go through the community quality assurance process; unique forks, instead, are excluded from this free of charge service.
There is a fundamental difference between adding a feature to a proprietary operating system and backporting a feature from a new Linux kernel to an old one. A new feature of a proprietary operating system is written for exactly the version which is enhanced by the feature. A new feature for the Linux kernel is written for the newest version of the kernel and builds upon the enhancements and features which have been developed between the release of the old kernel and now. New Linux kernel features are simply not designed for backporting.
I only can discourage companies from even thinking about such things. The time spent doing backports and the maintenance of the resulting unique kernel fork is better spent on adjusting the internal development and quality assurance procedures to the way in which the Linux kernel development process is done. Otherwise it would be just another great example of a useless waste of resources.
There are a lot of arguments made why mainlining code is not practicable in the embedded world. One of the most commonly used arguments is that embedded projects are one-shot developments and therefore mainlining is useless and without value. My experience in the embedded area tells me, instead, that most projects are built on previous projects and a lot of products are part of a product series with different feature sets. Most special-function semiconductors are parts of a product family and development happens on top of existing parts. The IP blocks, which are the base of most ASIC designs, are reused all over the place, so the code to support those building blocks can be reused as well.
The one-shot project argument is a strawman for me. The real reasons are the reluctance to give up control over a piece of code, the already discussed usage of ancient kernel versions, the work which is related to mainlining, and to some degree the fear of the unknown.
The reluctance to give up control over code is an understandable but nevertheless misplaced relic of the proprietary closed source model. Companies have to open up their modifications and extensions to the Linux kernel and other open source software anyway when they ship their product. So handing it over to the community in the first place should be just a small step.
Of course mainlining of code is a fair amount of work and it forces changes to the way how the development in companies works. There are companies which have been through this change and they confirm that there are benefits in it.
According to Andrew Morton, we change approximately 9000 lines of kernel code per day, every day. That means that we touch something in the range of 3000 lines of code, when we take comments, blank lines and simple reshuffling into account. The COCOMO estimate of the value of 3000 lines of code is about $100k. So we have a total investment of $36 million per year which flows into the kernel development. That's with all the relevant factors set to 1. Taking David Wheelers factors into account would cause this figure to go up to $127 million. This estimate does not take other efforts around the kernel into account, like the test farms, the testing and documentation projects and the immense number of (in)voluntary testers and bug reporters who "staff" the QA department of the kernel.
Some companies realize the value of this huge cooperative investment and add their own stake for the long term benefit. We recently had a customer who asked if we could write a driver for an yet-unsupported flash chip. His second question was whether we would try to feed it back into the mainline. He was even willing to pay for the extra hours, simply because he understood that it was helpful for him. This is a small company with less than 100 employees and a definitely limited budget. But they cannot afford the waste of maintaining even such small drivers out of tree. I have seen such efforts of smaller companies quite often in recent years and I really hold those folks in great respect.
Bigger players in the embedded market apparently have budgets large enough to ignore the benefits of working with the community and just concentrate on their private forks. This is unwise with respect to their own investments, not to talk about the total disrespect for the values which are given them by the community.
It is understandable that companies want to open the code for new products very late in the product cycle, but there are ways to get this done nevertheless. One is to work through a community proxy, such as consultants or service providers, who know how kernel development works and can help to make the code ready for inclusion from the very beginning.
The value of community-style development is in avoiding mistakes and the benefit of the experience of other developers. Posting an early draft of code for comment can be helpful for both code quality and development time. The largest benefit of mainlining code is the automatic updates when the kernel internal interfaces are changed and the enhancements and bugfixes which are provided by users of the code. Mainlining code allows easy kernel upgrades later in a product cycle when new features and technologies have to be added. This is also true for security fixes, which are eventually hard to backport.
I personally know developers who are not interested in working in the open at all for a very dubious reason: as long as they have control over their own private kernel fork, they are the undisputed experts for code on which their company depends. If forced to hand over their code to the community, they fear losing control and making themselves easier to replace. Of course this is a short-sighted view, but it happens. These developers miss the beneficial effect of gaining knowledge and expertise by working together with others.
One of my own employees went through a ten-round review-update-review cycle which ended with satisfaction for both sides:
> Other than that I am very happy with this latest version. Great > job! Thanks for your patience, I know it's always a bit > frustrating when your code works well enough for yourself and you > are still told to make many changes before it is acceptable > upstream. Well, I really appreciate good code quality. If this is the price, I'm willing to pay it. Actually, I thank you for helping me so much.
Over the course of this review cycle the code quality of the driver improved; it also led to some general discussion about the affected sensors framework and the improvement of it on the fly. The developer improved his skills and he got an improved insight into the framework with the result that his next project will definitely have a much shorter review cycle. This growth makes him far more valuable for the company than having him as the internal expert for some "well it works for us" driver.
The framework maintainer benefited as well, as he needed to look at the requirements of the new device and adjust the framework to handle it in a generic way. This phenomenon is completely consistent with Greg Kroah-Hartman's statement in his OLS keynote last year:
All of the above leads to a single conclusion: working with the kernel development community is worth the costs it imposes in changes to internal processes. Companies which work with the kernel developers get a kernel which better meets their needs, is far more stable and secure, and which will be maintained and improved by the community far into the future. Those companies which choose to stay outside the process, instead, miss many of the benefits of millions of dollars' worth of work being contributed by others. Developers are able to take advantage of working with a group of smart people with a strong dedication to code quality and long-term maintainability.
It can be a winning situation for everybody involved - far better than perpetuating the embedded Linux nightmare.
The embedded Linux nightmare - an epilogue

I can only can discourage companies to even think about such things. The time for backports and the maintenance of the resulting unique kernel fork is definitely better spent on adjusting the internal development and quality assurance procedures to the way how the Linux kernel development process works. Otherwise it would be just another great example for useless waste of resources.
So how does this relate to long-term supported vendor releases such as RHEL, SLES, Ubuntu LTS or Debian? Each of these vendors maintains one forked kernel version into which they backport fixes for the life of their product. It would seem that you are arguing that this is also the wrong way to approach the problem of maintenance unless you see a fundamental difference between the two cases.

Currently Debian Stable and Ubuntu are using 2.6.18 kernel variations. Redhat EL 5 uses 2.6.18 variation. All of them are released fairly recently.
Old Debian Stable shipped 2.6.8 and Redhat EL 4 used 2.6.9. Those systems are the longest supported distributions out of all mainline Linux versions and now they are basicly obsolete, except as legacy installations. Nobody would want to install either of those systems for new servers or workstations.
Adding new hardware support from backports would be exponentially easier from 2.6.21 to 2.6.18 then trying to go from 2.6.21 to 2.6.8
So in the author's example he was asked about backporting drivers to 2.6.10... probably that means that the device is not even into beta mode yet if they are still working out the details of hardware support. So that is a very odd kernel for anything still in relatively early stages of development.
That kernel is very old now. It will be ancient by the time it reaches market. So it seems very weird that you'd choose that version to work with.
I guess that a good approach would be that generally people will want to keep up with the latest stable releases for as long as they can, and 'freeze' the version as late into the development cycle as comfortably possible.

We also have a policy of making sure that bugs our customers find in RHEL also get fixed in the upstream kernel. Preferably, they get fixed in the upstream kernel before the fix is put in RHEL.
Not only do we get the benefit of upstream review of the code change, but the bug is also automatically fixed when we come out with our next RHEL release. We only need to fix each bug once, and the upstream community gets the benefits of our work.
When dealing with a long product cycle and the faster upstream Linux development cycle there are ways to ensure that both your product and the upstream Linux community benefit.

I disagree with this statement. I still install RHEL4 in my business and plan to do so for some time, heck I still install the occasional RHEL3 host. I'm not going to rebuild systems that currently work just to get the latest and greatest without some clear justification. It costs time to maintain another OS variant, re-checking our services and potentially porting them to the new release. Of course they are all similar (RHEL3-RHEL5) but each version has differences (or else it wouldn't be a new version) that I need to understand and account for. The long term support for RHEL, SLES and Ubuntu LTS exists for a reason, users which don't want a high rate of churn for their base OS.

as such you just need bugfixes, you don't need new drivers and other major improvements from the new kernel.
so you are just fine. the maintinance nightmare is when you try to backport larger chunks of things, and they drag in more stuff that they depend on.
even bugfixes aren't going to be complete, many bugs get fixed by replacing the code that is buggy (frequently without the person writing the new code recognising all the implications of the bug, sometimes without them noticing that there is a bug) with new code, useually to add new features, or as part of a cleanup effort.
bugs that are fixed like this are extremely hard to backport

as such you just need bugfixes, you don't need new drivers and other major improvements from the new kernel.

I hate to say it again but this is also not true. RHEL3 supports modern hardware, the have backported newer versions of drivers and other compatability fixes. RHEL3 is supported on the latest Dell PowerEdge 9th generation systems for example and even comes with the Dell hardware management kernel drivers that were integrated with upstream.

Heh, I wish I could agree with you, but within the next couple of days I'll be doing a fresh Redhat 4 install. The (4x 3GHz Xeon) server is being repurposed, currently it's still running RHEL 2.1. Most of the servers in this particular environment are running RH 3, with just a handful at RH 4. (Mind, they do get updates). Once you've got an enterprise system stable (eg, a four-node Oracle cluster with 8 CPUs/node (16 virtual with hyperthreading) and a SAN backend) you don't want to mess with it very often. (When that's upgraded it'll also be to new boxes, 2 each 32-way IA-64s, and we can kiss hugemem goodbye - but it'll be to RH4, not RH5).

You don't want to use it, do you? I'd expect you'd rather just install the newest of what was aviable and leave it at that.
You use it because you _need_ to, right?
Also I suppose you'd like all new hardware, too.

Backporting drivers to older kernels absolutely sucks as a way to spend your time because of changes like this, and worse, it feels like a waste of effort while you do it. Dispiriting stuff.

I guess they want the new feature (e.g. wireless stack), but don't want the new bugs in e.g. the memory management, scheduler or block layer. And please don't tell me there are no new bugs.

This is exactly what matters for an embedded product, and exactly where the Linux development process fails. Last week Adrian Bunk quit in disgust at the regressions http://lwn.net/Articles/231993/ and Andrew Morton said the situaition is likely to get worse http://lwn.net/Articles/232432/. Consumers do not tolerate such shoddy products.

Not really. If you'll try to backport new features to ancient kernel you'll get new features, new bugs (in subsystems which must be modified to accommodate new features) and your own unique bugs (because you'll have mostly-untested mix of old and new kernels).
Consumers do not tolerate such shoddy products.
Sure they do. If you'll take line of mobile phones from any manufacturer and count number of bugs and regressions - you'll probably find more bugs/regressions then 14. And most of them are known. And some are even fixed in unofficial firmware. This is waay worse then what happens with kernel - yet Nokia and Samsung are selling millions of phones...

Yes. But they spent half year on testing their stuff with the old kernel with the workloads they expect, so they can be pretty sure that even if there are old bugs, these bugs don't cause problems. Or if they do, they can be fixed (even by backporting from newer versions) or by working around them.

Right, and therefor they backport the wireless stack, which includes the modifications to the network stack on which it relies. Now they need to fixup the memory managment changes in both and some other nasty details all over the place.
This is done by a very small group of people. Do they have the full expertise and overview on all this and the testing and verification capacities at hand to verify this hackery on their own ?
If yes, then they should really go and identify and fix the bugs in mainline. They would be a great asset to the kernel community.
If no, the nightmare is there in it's full glory.

That's a tad simplistic--sometimes the reason is as innocuous as "minimize your variables." For example, when we encounted bugs on a project on which I worked several years ago, it was rarely obvious whether it was an application bug, a toolchain bug (GCC/binutils/glibc), a kernel bug, or a hardware bug (CPU itself or support chips/boards, each of which may be literally unique due to manufacturing flaws). Indeed, over the course of the project we found examples of each flavor--and at least one of the kernel bugs wasn't in driver code; it was in regular, mainline code (albeit infrequently used mainline code).
That said, we did upgrade kernels at least two or three times (I recall at least 2.4.7, 2.4.14, and 2.4.18), and for all I know, there were further updates before the product(s) shipped. But it's an overstatement to solely blame a desire to "keep the existing procedures alive"--unless, of course, one of the procedures in question is the scientific method.
Bigger players in the embedded market apparently have budgets large enough to ignore the benefits of working with the community and just concentrate on their private forks.
I suspect it's less an issue of enjoying large budgets than of suffering large bureaucracies. ;-) Barring a champion with enough authority to make his or her own decisions on behalf of the company (rare!), it can be extremely difficult even to find out whose department has such authority, much less to make contact and convince her/him/them. Even my implication that there's a single such department is questionable; it could easily involve multiple departments/divisions/management chains, not to mention lawyers and perhaps even one or more third parties. Ten iterations of review/revise before acceptance into the mainline kernel is nothing compared to that level of brutality. :-(
Posted May 3, 2007 1:14 UTC (Thu) by bene42 (subscriber, #32623) [Link]
But we have to show the "kernel" way is the cheapest way. And every QA, exept the SM ones, is on our side. For a diligent QA is it easier to accept a new stable kernel version, then a ton of backports. They do the same tests on each kernel, so the difference is one question: What backing?
Posted May 3, 2007 4:19 UTC (Thu) by roelofs (guest, #2599) [Link]
Oh, I get that, and I'm grateful for articles like this one and its predecessor--it should be an excellent tool to help embedded engineers (who are often favorably inclined toward FLOSS in the first place) convince their management chains to work in a more community-compatible way. I was just pointing out that one of Thomas's arguments was maybe not quite as strong as it might appear at first glance; sometimes there are good reasons for sticking with an older kernel for an extended period.
Also note that not all architectures get as much developer attention as i386 and x86_64, nor are they all as unified.
Posted May 3, 2007 6:44 UTC (Thu) by drag (subscriber, #31333) [Link]
Say if this project described on the following article is successfull?: http://lwn.net/Articles/232769/
So if that makes it much easier to dectect and isolate bugs (say make it more obvious were in the hardware->application toolchain the bug is occuring) would it have a positive affect on embedded developers to be able to track closer to mainline kernel?
Could it it be that lack of good debugging tools for Linux is going to hold people back from using newer Linux versions?
Or is it that what you have now is good enough for embedded developers and such things probably aren't going to make anybody's job any easier?
Posted May 4, 2007 3:50 UTC (Fri) by roelofs (guest, #2599) [Link]
Well, it was certainly true that, given the size of the problem space, we were more than a bit understaffed. And the Chronicle debugger (thanks for the link, btw--I hadn't gotten to this week's Development page yet), had it existed back then, probably would have helped, at least if we could have run it from the host system. But insofar as it runs on top of Valgrind, it appears to be limited to apps and libraries, and the really hard, time-consuming bugs were the ones in the kernel and hardware.
Could it it be that lack of good debugging tools for Linux is going to hold people back from using newer Linux versions? Or is it that what you have now is good enough for embedded developers and such things probably aren't going to make anybody's job any easier?
I'm no longer doing embedded work (quite the opposite, in fact!), but I don't know anyone who would claim the existing tools are "good enough." That is, they're sufficient to get most things done, but it's clear they could be much, much better. In fact, most reasonably unbiased developers with whom I've spoken seem to agree that development tools are one of the principal areas where Microsoft still holds a significant lead over the FLOSS community, and I fully believe them. After all, MS has been working on their toolchain and using it to woo developers (their own approach to World Domination) for a quarter-century, and even when they were spread the thinnest, they supported only three or four CPU architectures--and that for only a few years. GCC and gdb are truly marvels of portability, and it's really nice not to have to learn a new set of commands on every platform, but that very portability has been a huge drag on the pace of development, both in optimization and in debugging (and, no doubt, other areas).
That said, I continue to use GCC and gdb every day, both at work and at home. And as much as I love to eke the last little bit of performance out of my code, I'm far more excited about the possibility of major strides on the debugging end of things--especially for massively multithreaded applications. The sooner, the better...

Well as the title says, my box has been responding slow lately. I have a Duox2 Mochip. When I turn the xbox on, it stays on the XBox screen for about 2 or 3 minutes until the slayers screen comes up. Then when I launch a game, it takes about the same amount of time to load. It never used to before. I've already tried to restore the evox.ini file that I had last. Anyone have any ideas?
Can this be a hardware issue? As in my hard drive is going out or something? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

In 1985 we were selling lingerie and wanted to be in a bridal show. We had just moved to a new town and the bridal show there only allowed one of a type and already had "our type" in the show. We had really had great success marketing our product through bridal shows and now we were stuck. Being the stubborn entrepreneurs that we were, we decided to produce one ourselves.
That was our start —and a learning experience like no other. In 1987 we moved to Sacramento and produced the first bridal show ever to be held at Cal-Expo, then moved to other locations. For 16 years we produced Bridal Expo at Sunrise Mall in Citrus Heights twice a year.
Now we're entering our 25th year producing shows in Sacramento.
Bringing people together who need each other is a passion for us and Bridal Expo has allowed us a wonderful outlet for that passion. Plus, we constantly work on making sure everyone who is brought together wins from the meeting. That's why we add fun elements to our shows for the brides so they enjoy the bridal show experience. And we offer comprehensive training to our exhibitors so they can get the most return on investment from the show.
We're so excited about 2012 because we have a new, beautiful venue for our March show and we brought back the Wedding Games to add fun and excitement to the show. Plus, we have all kinds of surprises that will be part of the fashion show.
And, we are always willing to grow and learn and make improvements. It's because our true reward is knowing the brides and grooms find who they need and the wedding professionals get more bookings. The bonus is that we have Fun along the way.

awfulPros: 1. It was so bad that I needed little time to decide never to play it again. Cons: Maybe the game is playable on a console. MAYBE. But the port is HORRIFIC. The controls screen is still a 360 controller. The graphics "options" consist of a single option labeled "high detail". Every time you do a downward aerial slash the game slows down quite a bit(running a quad core 3.4 with a 5770 and 4 GB, can run Skyrim no problem). Game will not open if you have a second monitor on. Often unresponsive, terrible camera angles. HUGE loading times, even has to load to go from one option screen to another, even though the game is not even visible in the background while on the options pages, 3rd person viewpoint is awful for aiming the way you need to in order to play the game. Basically just a battle to get the character to do anything. Other Thoughts: Seriously, please don't buy this for some poor kid for Christmas. 2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
horriblePros: You have lightsaber its starwars. Ok cutscenes Cons: Linear short. Beat same night 2 times, regular then hardest. Not alot of content. Other Thoughts: Could have been ok game but honestly I have had $5 dlc in other games provide me with more content. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Horrible PortPros: The game was fun and the story was interesting. Cons: The controls in this game are horrible unless you have a wired 360 controller. Next the game has almost no graphic options in the game menues. Finally the game no longer functions on my computer got about half way through it when a new driver came out for my video card after installing it the game constantly artifacts and blurs making it impossible to play. Odd thing is the menus, cutscenes, and everything else is fine its just the graphics during game play segments that is ruined. I know i could just role my drivers back but its just not worth it since my other 140 games on the computer run fine and the game wasn't that amazing to begin with just a plain and simple hack and slash. Besides the point at which i was at when these problems began occuring was a horrible puzzle which involved a glitched object which after 30 attempts and multiple restarts still refused to budge stalling me in an area for about an hour before i gave up. Other Thoughts: Got it for little to nothing on sale a while ago so its not to big a lose on my part waiting for the price to drop even lower so i replace my pc copy with a 360 copy so i can finish playing. 2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Buyer's RemorsePros: It is star wars... if you are a fan, it will be less painful. Cons: The game really did not port over well. Controls and camera are awful. Cant really play it with mouse & keyboard at all. Sound has issues. Other Thoughts: Do not buy until after you have read all the reviews. If after you have done so, you still buy it, then you know what you are in for. 2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Almost what you'd expect from LucasArtsPros: *STAR WARS!!!!!! Cons: Not ported to PC well at all! LA didn't even bother to change control images, so on things like finisher cinematics, the game still shows Xbox360 controls; so you have to remember what that button is on the 360, and THEN you have to remember where that button is on your KB. this constant "translating" REALLY takes away from the amazing game Other Thoughts: If you want to play this game on PC, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE AN XBOX360/PS3 controller for your PC! If it weren't for the sluggish, horribly laid out controls for KB/mouse this game would get 5 eggs from me. I have played PC games all my life; and in that time, i'd be hard pressed to find a game ported as badly. THAT SAID, after I borrowed on Xbox360 controller from my friend, the game took on a whole new life! 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Bad ShippingPros: Great Game, Excellent Graphics. Cons: NewEgg shipping is getting bad. Eggsaver is a waste of time and money. Bought this game paid the extra money for shipping and its foing to take over 4 days to get to me. Other Thoughts: Do your self a favor, if you need it fast buy it in a store and not here. 0 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Great GamePros: Great graphics, Low Price, Newegg, Its Star Wars and Star Wars done proud. Cons: Computer gameplay needs to improve still but this is not new to this game. 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Very enjoyablePros: I've always wanted to give this game a try. The graphics are very good and the art style is excellent. Gameplay is not very unique or extremely fine-tuned, but it's always fun to throw enemies off of cliffs using the Force. Cons: Controls are absolutely horrid. Maybe this game would benefit from using a controller, but I don't have a PC controller. More thought should have been put into making the controls work for a keyboard and mouse. Other Thoughts: If you're looking for a small distraction between other games, check this out. If you're a Star Wars fan and don't already have this game, get it. If you're looking for a finely-tuned action game with extremely responsive controls, look elsewhere. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Finally unleashed to the PC...Pros: It's Star Wars. They made action figures of this game... need I say more? Cons: It's a console game port. Lacks the old FPS feeling. More like a button masher. Why they just didn't make Crimson Empire into this game, I'll never understand... *shakes fist @ LA* Other Thoughts: Unlike most of the negative hype, the PC version is vastly superior to the console versions. The only major loss is the use of the Wii remote. But what you gain in quality outweighs the console versions, easily... 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Very good, but could have been a classic.Pros: This game is actually official star wars cannon and takes place around the time of episode IV - a new hope. It fills in some gaps in the story! It features nice graphics (on a high end system, don't know about lower end though), relatively smooth game play, and decent re-playability. Using the force to wreak havok is an absolute blast!! Cons: Camera/movement/targeting system take a lot of time to get comfortable with. After about 5-10hrs I mastered it but the developers should have made the targeting system much more accurate. 3rd person fixed camera perspective in boss confrontations without the option to switch is annoying and seems pointless. This is another feature that you will get adjusted to after a while. Other Thoughts: 1. Make sure you download the update/bug fix patch. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |

Spray perfume is available in one-ounce bottles. I see this work as ephemeral sculpture, which is why the bottle is simple and utilitarian.
The carrier, or base is 83% organic witch hazel, and the perfume oils used are a mix of organic, natural essentials, commercially produced perfume essences, and absolutes.
Please allow 2 weeks for shipping, as some ingredients come from other countries, and may be in transit. They are not commercially bottled, so variations will exist due to their being mixed, and decanted by hand. Treat them as you would any other art piece.
By clicking on the price, you will be sent to your paypal account to check out. If you don't have paypal, you can also purchase perfume on my
etsy site
These perfumes are for topical use only. People with sensitive skin, women who are pregnant, or people with specific allergies, or sensitivities and ailments should use them with caution. Apply the perfume to a small test area of the skin, as this will help to control the location of any possible irritation.
I am including these warnings simply for your safety. "It's also about educating the public to perform a patch test, or perhaps wear the perfume in their hair, on their clothing, or on a cotton or wool pad inside a piece of jewelry to diffuse the scent. In fact, the oldest way of wearing perfume is in the hair or on clothing or fabric - and you'll be amazed how long the scent lasts!" (source)

This team is full of quitters. I tried to change the culture, tried to instill you know that thug mentality. Well it back fired, hahahaha, and turned into a circus.
Look at that Tebow, I tell you I can't stand that guy. Praying and everything.....And that MacElroy guy, telling everyone what a terrible situation it was in the clud house.
These people don't know anything I can tell ya.
Look it up I have an all time defense just absolutely great and I should have won many Super bowls.
Thanks and have a good day!

I hear stories about Rex and his concerns for the offense and I have to hold my sides I am laughing so hard. Someone on the radio said this means Rex has already gotten word he is fired and is trying to make it look like he stood up t management and got canned. REx cares about offense? That must be why we have drafted so many playmakers the last four years. I saw a clip from yesterday's press conference. Rex speaking in these hushed tones. Any cop analyzing REx would have known from his interrogation training that Rex was LYING.

Vehicle Information
Better fuel economy yet more power (versus last year) are probably two of the central points that will ring relevant to those cross-shopping the Rio against any of the competition. In addition to being one of the lowest-priced cars in the U.S. market, 2012 Rio is the first vehicle that's not either a hybrid or luxury model to feature fuel-saving engine start/stop technology, which momentarily shuts the engine off at stoplights. Also of interest to those looking to make a green vehicle choice, Kia notes that 85 percent of the Rio's materials are recyclable at the end of the vehicle's lifespan, and seat foams are 100-percent biodegradable.The Rio's improved design, inside and out; its stronger body structure and enhanced safety; and its smooth new direct-injection engine and six-speed transmissions are all other very good reasons to consider the Rio, in this crowded class that includes the Ford Fiesta, Chevrolet Sonic, MAZDA2, Honda Fit, and Toyota Yaris among others.

2012 Rio Changes
The Kia Rio has been completely redesigned for 2012, with somewhat larger dimensions yet an all-new body structure that promises better crash protection without added heft. A new direct-injection engine and two new 6-speed transmissions help make tremendous gas-mileage gains as well, and all-new exterior and interior styling bring the Rio's look up to par with the larger Forte and Optima models.

SHOALHAVEN paratriathlete Jonathan Goerlach hasreturned from the inaugural Australian National Paratriathlon Championships as a champion.
Goerlach secured himself a fast-tracked place at
the 2013 Paratriathlon World Championships, to be held in September in London, after he took out the paratriathlon event in his tri-6 category.
Goerlach has retinitis pigmentosa, an eye condition that means he is declared legally blind, and competes in the tri-6 category with a guide.
The Australian championship was held at the Penrith International Regatta course on January 11 and gave athletes with a disability in Australia the opportunity to race on a course and at a venue that is designed to enable all classes of athletes to compete in a safe and protected environment.
The course was set at the same distance used at the ITU World Paratriathlon Championships, being a 750 metre swim, 20 kilometre cycle and five kilometre run.
For the first time, Goerlach was able to compete at an official Australian championships and he did not disappoint, easily beating the next man across the line by seven and a half minutes.
"I wasn't really going for time," he admitted.
"I had only had two weeks of training as I had come back from India playing for the Australian blind cricket team mid December, and then there was the Christmas and new year break."
Goerlach said he was relieved to win the championships and know he has secured a place at the world championships.
"I now know that I have got
eight-and-a-half months to go so I can start seriously training and raising funds."
Although Goerlach said he will take each leg as it comes, he hopes to be able to complete the course in under an hour and five minutes.
Goerlach hopes to improve on his fifth placing at the 2012 World Championship in Auckland.
"My goal this year is to make the podium. But I will have to work hard to raise funds to pay for me and my guide. I also want to be able to buy my own tandem bike," he said.
Goerlach had to borrow a bike for the national championships and the 2012 world championships.
"I just want to be on a level playing field with the other competitors, who all have really high-tech bikes. At last year's world champs, our bike was like a BMX bike in comparison. Some of the other competitor's bikes weighed half of what ours did."
The Australian and world championship events go towards the selection for the 2016 summer Paralympics, where the paratriathlon event will be held for the first time.
Goerlach said Triathlon Australia is working to build support for the event, which is growing in popularity in the world of disabled sports.
"We had 12 competitors in the world champs last year. This year may have doubled that."
"But we want to build the profile of the sport because we want competition, we want someone to beat us. If you have got no one pushing you, you have no one to compare to," he said.
Goerlach is desperately looking for sponsors to help him on his way to London. If you can assist, email him at email@example.com

I was a little nervous based on the other reviews and I ordered anyway (couldn't beat the price) but I was very happy with the comforter. One huge note, I ordered a king for my queen bed and it is a tad long on the sides but I wouldn't want it any shorter in length so I'm glad I took the other reviewers advice and ordered larger. Over all it doesn't look exactly like the picture, but the colors are exact. Not that it matters but the underside is black not gray as the picture seems to show. I did see the black stitching that the other reviewers were talking about but I don't think it looks cheap, it looks intentional, though maybe not ideal. I didn't have ANY bad stitching or out of line patterns. Overall I'm very happy with the price and quality of this product and would buy it again.
I am always worried about buying online and getting cheap quality. This is by far the best item I have bought online. Its designer quality and comfy at that. I am glad that I took the chance.
Too light weight to really keep you warm. Fabric is so so in quality.
The picture of this set doesn't do it justice..absolutely stunning set
Entire quilt top has scattered extra stitching all over the top of the quilt. VERY pooly made and actually not usable on a bed. Does not extend long enough on any edges to make a neat bed. Flimsy materials, poor quality.
This is my second time I ordered Madison Park Infinity set. First one, I bought for my master bedroom and I had tons of compliment. Second set, different color is for my guest bedroom. The quality is great, very ELEGANT and classy!!!
my black and gray comforter sets looks lovely on my new bed. the colors are rich and bold against my cream walls it make my bedroom warm and cozy
item was average quality, but not quite exactly what i expected.
Would recommend this tp anyone. The material is a littlle stiff but for the price can't complain
This comforter set matched my bedroom perfectly! It has a very nice look with clean lines. We were very happy with the size, color, and quality of the product. I would purchase it again.

I have mentioned Jason Alexander in a couple of posts here, on Ask The Weight Loss Maven, regarding his weight loss story using Jenny Craig but I haven't dedicated a post to it exclusively. A big part of the reason why I haven't is because the search numbers for his weight loss story, in particular, haven't been very substantial. However, because he is a celebrity, his name alone generates more than 60,000 searches per month so someone out there cares what's going on in his life.
As always, there is an ulterior motive for today's blog post and it has very little to do with Jason Alexander, his "weight loss story" or Jenny Craig. There are pictures and video to satisfy those of you searching for that kind of thing, but today's post is geared more toward "thumbing my nose in the face of the New American Bureaucracy" versus the usual weight loss "how to" that you find here.
Unless you've been living under a rock you've most likely heard of the recent PIPA and SOPA legislation that is currently up for vote in the United States. Companies like Google, WordPress and others are leading the charge up Capitol Hill in protest, and for good reason. If this bill passes there are many who believe that it will crush the Internet and perhaps even have devastating effects on the major media social sites including Facebook.
So why did I choose Jason Alexander as my target for this post? One word… celebrity. WordPress is circulating a video that points the finger for PIPA and SOPA at Hollywood, interestingly enough. They believe that a big part of the whole issue here is Hollywood losing money because of copyright infringement including little kids lip syncing to their favorite pop tunes.
Jason Alexander
"Weight Loss Before And After"
For those who have not seen the video that showed up on the front page of WordPress.org, the other day, I have added it here along with a link to a CNN where it is currently hosted.
In regards to weight loss and the weight loss industry, could PIPA/SOPA have an effect? Most likely not. As long as the celebrities are getting paid (and I BELIEVE they should get paid for their work) then all will be well. The issue is with those who are using their creations and then publicly broadcasting them online. I don't believe that pointing the finger at Hollywood is the right course of action, in this case, because I believe that we should look a little deeper at the resounding issue here.
The bottom line is, and I believe this is what companies like WordPress and Google are trying to get at, is that IF the government is allowed to start censoring then they will be more likely to want more control. It's like a snowball, if we give them a small snowball and let them stand on the mountain, and then we allow them to give it a push, it's just going to get bigger and bigger. That's where we are at. The United States was built on the foundation of "By the People, For the People." It appears that there are those in power who want to change that.
Keep in mind that giving the government control will fix nothing. We just invested countless dollars and thousands of lives fighting for freedom, and are still fighting for freedom, in the war on terror. How much sense does it make to now demonstrate the world that we are willing to break down the very fabric of our freedom we have been fighting so diligently to defend for decades? People wonder why the United States has become the laughing stock of the planet? DUH!
Just my two cents, thanks for reading. I'll be interested to hear any feedback you may have.
