As summer days slip away, down in the basement of the Water Tower Recreation Center, plans are being made for an exciting fall soccer season.
The Chestnut Hill Youth Sports Club's (CHYSC) Intramural Soccer Program begins in early September and runs through mid-November. Teams are being formed now.
Late registration is in effect, but CHYSC is still accepting boys and girls, ages 5-16, to participate in this very popular club serving Chestnut Hill, Mt. Airy and surrounding communities.
Every year hundreds of players don the uniforms of countries like world soccer powers Spain and Brazil to battle with their neighbors in a wonderful display of teamwork, athleticism and camaraderie. Players of all skill levels are welcome to the Intramural Soccer Program whose emphasis is creating a fun environment to develop fundamental soccer skills and play in competitive games.
With the multitude of schools that serve Northwest Philadelphia, CHYSC is a wonderful way for children to meet new friends and neighbors.
"I believe there are at least 16 schools represented in CHYSC," said Brendan May, CHYSC's Intramural Soccer commissioner. "My own kids have met and made many outstanding friends through Chestnut Hill soccer that they would otherwise never know."
May encourages anyone interested in playing intramural soccer to register immediately as this information is needed for CHYSC's all-volunteer commissioner corps to build teams, properly order and allocate uniforms, equipment and fields appropriately.
To meet the needs of the evolving membership, there have been some reconfigurations made to the league structures this year. The youngest league, U7, has grown so dramatically over the last couple years that it has been segmented into U6 and U7. This ensures that children are with players of the same maturity level and makes it more possible for the players to enjoy success. This league serves 5 and 6-year-olds, respectively, with boys and girls competing together on Saturday mornings. The focus is on fun drills and games that help introduce the game of soccer and develop skills to serve the children into the future.
Another change in this year's league structure is the introduction of gender-specific (girls or boys) leagues for U8, U10 and U12. The two oldest leagues, U15 and U18, are coed. They are for teenagers in junior and senior high school and strive for a social atmosphere in an enjoyably competitive environment.
"We truly believe these adjustments will elevate the quality of the leagues and help the club grow," said May. "The membership was very helpful through their feedback and input. We are constantly striving to meet the needs of the kids in the community and looking to match the development of our neighboring clubs. Ultimately, we want everyone to have fun."
Intramural play starts the week after Labor Day and extends until early November. The U6 and U7 leagues meet one day a week for practices/games. Other leagues hold a practice one evening during the week and play games on Saturdays or Sundays.
Through relationships with local schools and organizations, CHYSC has secured use of local fields for practice and games.
"There is a real partnership with the community to ensure that CHYSC offers opportunities for the entire neighborhood to come together and play soccer," May noted.
Schools share fields, businesses sponsor teams and hundreds of volunteers help with registration, equipment, coaching, field setup and breakdown.
"It's the teamwork of all the volunteers and parents that make Intramural Soccer possible," May said.
The club has also established a partnership with the Philadelphia Union, the local MLS franchise. This enables the CHYSC to offer a select number of tickets to Union games at a reduced rate, creates multiple possibilities for kids to meet some of the Union star players, and offers the opportunity for the Union's "Mobile Tour" to come to the neighborhood for a festival of soccer-related attractions.
The Union relationship is one of the benefits CHYSC Intramural Soccer players can enjoy. "We want to do all we can to give kids the best possible soccer experience they can have…so please, if you want to play, register now!" said May.

I live in New York City and work 12 hours a day all year. I have climbed Mt. Washington, Mt. Mitchell, Mt. Elbert, Ben Nevis, and got nearly to the top of Mt. Baker. I do get some breaks throughout the year and I am excited to set goals to climb during those breaks. I lift weights three times a week. I bought a Heart Rate Monitor (Garmin 610). Does anyone here use a StepMill (basically a Stairmaster but with 'real' stairs)?
The thread is based on a quote in Freedom of the Hills that says that a base level of fitness is being able to climb 1,200 to 1,800 vertical feet with about 1/3 of your body weight in your hiking boots. Since I don't have any mountains, I'm using a Stepmill. Right now I'm doing about 1,500 feet in 30 minutes, with no pack or boots. Would you suggest adding weight, or time?

The future has arrived for New England's small-town movie theaters. Unfortunately, it's consigning some of them to the past.
Last September, Elaine Riendeau of Gorham, N.H., had to close the Casablanca Cinema 4, the movie house she has run in Bethel, Maine, since 2000. The choice wasn't really hers: With the national film exhibition industry rapidly converting exclusively to digital projection, she couldn't afford to upgrade the Casablanca from the 35mm film platter system that had served it well for 12 years.
One installed digital projector costs $60,000 to $75,000. With four screens, Riendeau would have had to pay a minimum of $240,000 just to stay in business. "Now ask yourself: Why did I close the theater?" she says with the terseness of a North Country local accepting her fate. "Business is business. Nothing is fair in the real world."
True enough, and what's being asked of independently owned movie theaters across the country — the real mom-and-pops, some of them Main Street cinemas that have been around since the days of silent film — is hardly fair. Sometime in the next 18 months, according to many in the industry, new movies will cease being released on celluloid film. An era will end, taking the stragglers with it.
Asked to bear most or all of the cost of digital conversion, small-town theaters, from nonprofit art houses to for-profit theaters showing studio releases, are resorting to a variety of measures to scrape up the necessary cash. Kickstarter campaigns have been launched, grant proposals written, bank loans taken out, and patrons asked to open their wallets. In most cases, the very existence of these picture palaces is at stake.
So is the critical community gathering place they provide. "I believe that the small-town movie theater is truly the heart and soul of this business," said Shelly Gibson of Manchester Center, Vt. While national multiplex chains have had few problems bankrolling the conversion, Gibson figures she'll have to come up with $175,000 to purchase and install digital projection systems for the two-screen Village Picture Shows she runs with her husband, Jeff Nyweide.
"That's all on our shoulders," she said. "We're holding it together in the hopes of going digital, and frankly my husband and I can't cough up that kind of money. And if it doesn't come from somewhere, there won't be a theater any more. This month Gibson and Nyweide turned to the Internet fund-raising site Kickstarter; to date the campaign has raised almost $80,000.
The push to convert the industry from 35mm film prints to digital files began more than a decade ago, but it only picked up steam in recent years with the success of 3-D movies like 2009's "Monsters vs. Aliens," "Up," and James Cameron's "Avatar." The latter was a watershed moment for the technology, with the worldwide number of digital screens more than doubling in the film's wake.
The major US multiplex chains (Regal, AMC, Cinemark, and Carmike are the "big four," with about 17,000 of the country's 39,500 screens) have for the most part already converted their theaters. Says John Fithian, head of the industry trade group the National Association of Theatre Owners (NATO), "32,000 of the total screens in the US are now digitized." That's 80 percent — but when you factor out the Big Four, the number falls to about 60 percent.
The movie studios and their corporate owners are pushing hard for the conversion, and with good reason: They stand to save millions of dollars. It costs about $1,500 to make and ship a 35mm print, with a major studio release running to 4,000 prints.
By contrast, the cost of a paperback-size hard drive containing a digital movie runs to about $150. There are benefits to exhibitors and their paying customers, too. A digital print will never scratch or break, and it will look as good on the 1,000th play as on the first. Plus, going digital means a theater can roll out alternate programming like broadcasts of live opera, concerts, and stage plays as well as films outside the standard distribution channels.
Shelly Hudson, executive director of the Red River Theatres, a three-screen art house in Concord, N.H. said, "I like classic 35, the way that it looks, but I understand the improved quality of digital. I also love the idea that a small independent filmmaker is going to be able to produce quality film at much less expensive cost."
Hudson plans to convert the Red River to digital in the first quarter of 2013 and has raised $175,000 through grants and support from the community through the theater's "Go Digital or Go Dark" campaign.
The reality is that the industry has reached a tipping point. Late in 2011, 20th Century Fox sent out a letter warning that within a year or two "the digital format [will be] the only format in which [the studio] will theatrically distribute its films." The other studios are expected to follow suit, after which those theaters that haven't converted will have nothing to show but classic films on aging prints.
'35mm film served the industry for over 100 years and it's been a really stable medium,' says Carol Johnson, executive director of the Amherst Cinema in Western Massachusetts. 'But you don't have a choice. You have to convert.'
Carol Johnson, executive director of Amherst Cinema in Western Massachusetts, says "35mm film served the industry for over 100 years and it's been a really stable medium. But you don't have a choice. You have to convert if you want access to the popular films, and those are the films that pay the bills."
Like many of the small-town theaters facing conversion, Amherst Cinema plans to keep one of its 35mm projectors around to screen repertory prints of older movies.
Johnson has already had to close one movie house, the Pleasant Street Theater in Northampton. A haven for film-lovers in the Five-College Area since the 1970s, the Pleasant Street faced a host of physical limitations, but the cost of installing a new projection system may have been the final nail in the coffin.
"We probably would have kept it open [if not for digital] but it's hard to say,'' Johnson said. "People really loved that theater. It was the iconic, legendary destination — the place to go — when you needed to see an art house film.''
She is currently exploring ways to convert the three screens at Amherst Cinema and has received a $75,000 matching grant from the State of Massachusetts Cultural Facilities Fund. The total costs, she estimates, will run between $200,000 and $300,000. Small exhibitors across New England and the United States are staring down the same barrel.
Brookline's Coolidge Corner Theatre has raised 90 percent of the $223,000 needed for its Digital Cinema Challenge campaign, and the Brattle in Harvard Square has launched a three-pronged strategy of Kickstarter, grant writing, and fund-raising. (The Kendall Square, part of the national Landmark chain, has already converted.)
The two-screen Dedham Community Theatre hopes to raise funds from its devoted customer base."We definitely feel the love from them," said general manager Sarah Reynolds. "There's not a day that goes by that we don't get people coming in saying 'We love your theater; we wait to see movies until they come here.' "
West Newton Cinema owner David Bramante plans to convert his six screens by the end of 2013. Ian Judge, director of operations for the Somerville Theatre and Arlington's Capitol Theatre, has already made the conversion, although "if it were up to us, we would have probably stuck with film forever."
The studios recognize that many theaters may not have ready funds, and have set up a complicated — and controversial — system to help out. Judge's FEI Theatres signed up with an "integrator," one of a handful of third-party companies who act as middlemen, installing the projectors and charging the studios a Virtual Print Fee, or VPF, for each screening of their films. That money then goes back to the theater to offset the cost of the conversion.
The VPFs, which Fithian says can eventually cover 50 to 70 percent of the outlay, are tempting for a small theater owner but can come with strings attached, since the contracts give integrators and the studios computerized oversight over what gets played and when.
Dave Fuller, owner of the Rialto in Lancaster, N.H., said the VPF program " is a huge Big Brother. It's got a direct line to the projector so that it's always seeing what the projector is doing. If you have an extra show or don't have a show, they're going to question why you're doing that."
Many of the small theater owners interviewed for this article avoided signing with an integrator. "I should be able to do what I want in my theater," Gibson said.
Repeated requests for comment by spokespersons for the major distributors were turned down.
There are other problems with the new technology, which requires some retraining for most projectionists to master. When a 35mm projector breaks down, it's a mechanical fix, but when a digital projector malfunctions, it's a computer problem.
Mike Hurley, who owns the Colonial Theater in Belfast, installed a recommended software upgrade on his new digital projector and suddenly was unable to show movies. "We lost more shows in a month than we had lost in the previous 17 years," he says. "We just couldn't get the movie going. You try everything, you call for help. You don't need a projectionist. You need a computer genius."
Then there's the issue of obsolescence. Many small-town theaters have projectors that have been in operation since the 1950s, and they look askance at digital systems that may be out of date within a decade.
The Colonial Theatre in Bethlehem, N.H., opened in 1915 and is possibly the oldest continually operated movie theater in the country. Steve Dignazio, who runs the theater, remains wary.
"It's pretty scary — you're basically spending a lot of money for computer equipment that you hope is going to work. We're running a projector now that's pre-WWII, and it works. Keep it oiled and greased and it goes. I don't know how many of us feel the same way about our computers."
Yet Dignazio is planning to install a digital projector in the coming year; like all the other theater owners struggling to survive, he feels he has no choice. If the Bethlehem Colonial wants to show any new releases from the major studios or their art house boutique wings — let alone 3-D films or 48 frames-per-second blockbusters like "The Hobbit" — it's convert or die.
There are some who see a larger conspiracy in the background, an attempt by the entertainment corporations to control the remaining independents and shut out smaller film distributors through the new digital pipelines.
Dignazio frets about "the Walmart-ization of the film industry" and Terrence Youk, owner of the 97-year-old Savoy Theater in Montpelier, calls it "a deal with the devil. We're being faced with having to [convert] for some of these majors, and their intent is, I think, beyond just the savings in film prints and shipping. I think it's a move to consolidate their holdings. And, yes, I resent that."
For many of the theater owners, the issue is about much more than movies. It's about keeping struggling downtowns alive and bringing people together in an age when it's easier to stay at home and fire up the 48-inch screen.
"There are an awful lot of people like my husband and myself that do things like this to keep small communities up and running. If we were only in it for the profit, we would have closed five years ago," Gibson said.
And if her theater doesn't find an angel soon, there will be one less reason to go to Main Street.Ty Burr can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com. Follow him on Twitter @tyburr.

Something that we were talking about last night on the Crawfish Boxes' podcast was whether or not the Astros were going to start making personnel decisions based on the "process" that the Astros are beginning to instill. Short answer? Yep.
In Ed Weaver's Tri-City season preview piece (linked above), pitching coach Doug White:
The biggest thing is that they need to come in and understand the bigger picture of what's really going on inside the game of professional baseball," White said. "We try to give them a daily process that they can follow, that they can enjoy, that the believe in, that they have confidence in, so that every day they go out (on the field), there's some concentrated reps, there's focused reps. They're learning about themselves, it's not (just) a coach telling them what they're doing. So, really what we need to do is see if they can buy into that kind of process, and then we go out every day and observe, especially the new guys.
Tri-City opens their season tonight (Monday) at 7pm Eastern with a series against Vermont.

The Process begins at Tri-City

You are going to have to be more direct to convey it to me: What about the QC box score implies something about personnel decisions emanating from this mystical process?

Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 96 diseños de 22 diseñadores freelance.
Handschoen verloren
HELLO designers! I need a fancy logo for a website i'm building.
The concept:
It's a website where people can submut photos of gloves they have found on the street. Normally it's ONE glove that's lost and then the other glove can not be used anymore.
So with this site, you can send in a photo of the glove, the location where it's found and an e-mailaddress.
Everyone in the Netherlands and Belgium. Doesn't really matter.
It's for the majority of the internet users.
Probably the people who are more experienced with internet; so from 10 years old till +/- 55 years
It needs to be a cool logo! Something sparkling, fresh.
A icon of a glove is needed. People have to see when they see the logo it's about gloves. So an icon of a glove.
There need to be two words in the logo:
verloren (=lost) and handschoen (=glove).
TEXT to be used: verloren handschoen
No 3d or many gradients, no magnifying glass, clean, strong boldy font, colors from nature / earthly.
Look at example in file attached to brief.

How The Copyright Industry Made Your Computer Less Safe
from the welcome-to-the-world-of-drm dept
But there's a second important point in Doctorow's piece that is equally worth highlighting, and it's that the combination of DRM and anti-circumvention laws make all of our computers less safe. For this to make sense, you need to understand that DRM is really a form of security software.
The entertainment industry calls DRM "security" software, because it makes them secure from their customers. Security is not a matter of abstract absolutes, it requires a context. You can't be "secure," generally -- you can only be secure from some risk. For example, having food makes you secure from hunger, but puts you at risk from obesity-related illness.But, to understand security, you have to recognize that it's an ever-evolving situation. Doctorow quotes Bruce Schneier in pointing out that security is a process, not a product. Another way of thinking about it is that you're only secure until you're not -- and that point is going to come eventually. As Doctorow notes, every security system relies on people probing it and finding and reporting new vulnerabilities. That allows the process of security to keep moving forward. As vulnerabilities are found and understood, new defenses can be built and the security gets better. But anti-circumvention laws make that almost impossible with DRM, meaning that the process of making security better stops -- while the process of breaking it doesn't.
DRM is designed on the presumption that users don't want it, and if they could turn it off, they would. You only need DRM to stop users from doing things they're trying to do and want to do. If the thing the DRM restricts is something no one wants to do anyway, you don't need the DRM. You don't need a lock on a door that no one ever wants to open.
DRM assumes that the computer's owner is its adversary.
Here is where DRM and your security work at cross-purposes. The DMCA's injunction against publishing weaknesses in DRM means that its vulnerabilities remain unpatched for longer than in comparable systems that are not covered by the DMCA. That means that any system with DRM will on average be more dangerous for its users than one without DRM.And that leads to very real vulnerabilities. The most famous, of course, is the case of the Sony rootkit. As Doctorow notes, multiple security companies were aware of the nefarious nature of that rootkit, which not only hid itself on your computer and was difficult to delete, but also opened up a massive vulnerability for malware to piggyback on -- something malware writers took advantage of. And yet, the security companies did nothing, because explaining how to remove the rootkit would violate the DMCA.
Given the post-Snowden world we live in today, people are suddenly taking computer security and privacy more seriously than they have in the past -- and that, as Doctorow notes, represents another opportunity to start rethinking the ridiculousness of anti-circumvention laws combined with DRM. Unfortunately, politicians who are way behind on this stuff still don't get it. Recent trade agreements like the TPP and ACTA continue to push anti-circumvention clauses, and require them around the globe, thereby weakening computer security.
This isn't just an issue for the "usual copyright people." This is about actually making sure the computers we use are as secure and safe as they can be. Yet, in a world with anti-circumvention provisions, that's just not possible. It's time to fix that.

Kid Covers Megadeth's 'Angry Again' on Vocals + Guitar – Best of YouTube
While his classmates are idolizing today's current crop of pop stars, this kid is busy channeling Megadeth frontman Dave Mustaine as he performs an impressive rendition of the Megadeth classic 'Angry Again.'
In a well-produced video, 12-year-old Alex demonstrates his ability on guitar as well as his dead-on Mustaine impersonation. Watching this is downright eerie. If you closed your eyes, you would think you were listening to a pre-production demo of the song. He admittedly couldn't nail Marty Friedman's speedy solo so he inserted his own fretwork in its place, but with more practice he'll be able to pull that off, too!

Missing my baby
My baby, my love, my one truly,
I miss you, to what extent you will never know, couldn't feel, wouldn't understand...
Oh, but I miss you
till it aches
till it hurts
till it ties up itself and curls into a ball
till the moon shines and the sun dims
till the day I close my eyes and tell myself I can no longer love anyone else any more than I already do for you...
till the day the sea dries and the stars fade... the mountain roars and the trees grey...
I want to hug you.. to cuddle you and to kiss you tenderly.. on your forehead to your cheeks, to wind you up in me and let you melt inside of me.
My world spins with you, and every time I hear your voice the world becomes a better place... every time I see you, nothing else matters anymore...
I want to shower you with kisses whenever I hold you in my arms, to touch your neck lovingly while you work on your laptop, maybe steal a cuddle in the lift when no one's looking, or a kiss behind my aunt's back. The world stops and people around us pause when we hold each other, when I'm in your arms, whispering sweet-nothingness in each other's ear, nibbling on your skin and you plant your soft lips on the back of my hand, while I lift mine to cup your face.
It pains me to know that we're world apart, for I cannot be there for you and you for me when we wanted, to wake up with you beside me every morning, and rest in peace every night against your broad shoulder; too see you off to work, and to welcome you back home with loving arms and a warm hot pot of tea to share, maybe a dvd to spare.
These are the luxuries I never get to experience. How I dread to have them, to spend every waking moment with you, to know that loving you makes me alive, my life more meaningful and bright with colours; knowing that my life is not wasted, for without you, it's pointless.
Even if it means to argue with you and then make up later, because being able to be with you, to be next to you, to be able to hold you, means more than anything to me right now, rather than spending days, weeks, months! away, in silence, unable to reach out to you whenever I wish, unable to hold you when I please. It pains me deeply.
Heal my pain my love, mend my soul, for I have lost my direction and I cannot seem to find the road back to life that was once so clear to me.
Why do love hurts, when it feels so wonderful? Why? Why do you exist? Why is my world so complete with you? Why, my love?
Tell me, let me know, with a simple kiss, a warm hug, and maybe some three little words.
Thank you for the lovely little surprise when you sneaked up from behind the sofa.
I almost thought you've left me sitting alone in Starbucks.
72 kissed Nicole
love is unconditional.love is always never perfect..but it can be near perfect.love is like a war, easy to start but hard to end.love is always never the way we hope and want it to be.just like the one i had.but i'll move on..i'll get better in time.as for you, my malaccan homie haha...u should treasure your love and make the most outta of it.ReplyDelete

Hi Nicole,ReplyDelete
In a bit of a dilemma now… what category shall I put my blog into? Personal? Ranty (thought not listed)?, family oriented (gah!)? Humor (unlikely)?, Fashion (never gonna be)?
I don't know… maybe you can help. Thanks and enjoy love in the air (grap some for me if there's some straying/floating around and you don't need too much of it) I need something to fuel my bonfire
since when you have a special someone????

May you have a stable and happy relationship with your 'Baby' till the end of the road.
Hope to hear more love story from you.. ;D
I'm wondering why Nicole never replies(or maybe I missed them somehow) or writes anything in the comment box ^^ReplyDelete
Anyway, Love is simple. =) For me, when you realize that you care about that special someone more than you care about yourself, that's love. We're all selfish, as human beings, we're designed that way. But love changes that... it's what makes us the selfish human being to selfless individuals.
All the best ^^

Calvin Soo... I believe the Corinthians letter that you were referring to is this:ReplyDelete
{13:4} Love is patient and kind; love doesn't envy. Love doesn't boast and not proud,
13:5} doesn't behave itself inappropriately,doesn't seek its own way, is not provoked, takes no account of evil;
13:6} doesn't rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth;
Why, indeed, true love does not boast...now,we do not boast about love, do we? That would be against the Holy Bible's way. But then again, what can I say when others are no believer.
One may say I do not have a romantic bone in my body, but then again, love goes beyond flowers, kisses and even embraces.
Flowers may wilt, the tingling sense you get during a kiss may fade after awhile. Even hugs lost it's warmth after some time.
To me, love it's best portrayed in the mundane daily activities that we do to make our loved ones happy, not flowers or poetry on certain ocassion.

If love is true according to the rigid and lopsided dictates of Cleffairy the world would indeed be a grey and soul less place. Give me love in all it silly glory, with flowers, whispered words of sweet nothings and courtship rituals. I want nothing less.ReplyDelete
- Anonymous27/7/08 4:30 PM
To a woman in love,ReplyDelete
if you think love is only about romance and not to be together for the rest of the life and tolerate each other, then wat for get married? rite?
love is not only during the romance moment, love is not only those sweet words.
if you think love is only about romance, then i am sure that you will go and have affair with other guy after u married.
for this part:
Give me love in all it silly glory, with flowers, whispered words of sweet nothings and courtship rituals. I want nothing less.
then when ur husband is working hard to ensure you have a better life, it means u will appreciate it. flowers will not last long, sweet words is only lies.
if the man and the woman work hard to be together no matter how hard is thier live to make sure that they will be still together, that is called love.
Guys who just give u flowers, tell u lots of sweet words r actually wolves. so, good luck and enjoy ur days with ur wolf.
- Anonymous27/7/08 4:30 PM
Woman in love, I'm talking about love in terms of commitment and marriage. Pray tell, how many husbands out there constantly hand out flowers or recite poetry to their wives as a sign of love? Most expressed it through routine and daily rituals. Perhaps not much people over here understand that, because most are not married or just newly in love or just dating. Heck, some are even swingers or even players, of course love in their are are so flowery. LOL.ReplyDelete
Heck being married, I wouldn't want my husband to bring me flowers back from work or recite some damned poetry to me. I'd want some good massage or some help around the house. There's a difference between your husband helping you and getting help from other people.
Or maybe your father and mother behaves as if they are in some sort of romantic drama, tis, I know not. But, if you want love with courtship and all it's silly glory, then have it by all means. I only can assume that you are not married, that is why you are not asking for a deeper way of affection.

Sick of Advertisement in blogs? BLOCK THEM.ReplyDelete
Every time I visit some blogs, I am greeted with either huge ugly screens of advertisements from nuffnang or advertlets, or even BOTH from some greedy blogs.
Sudahlah, I decided it's time I do something about all this advertisement shit that's shoved in my face.
If you're sick of ads in blogs, you can now do something about them. Just block/ban the IP address of the ad server from your browser.
I will show you how this can be done from Mozilla FireFox for now. For IE users too bad, you'll have to find your way, or SWITCH to Mozilla Firefox.
First, you need to point your FireFox browser to https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/10
Then install the addon and restart the browser.
Go to Tools-> AdBlock -> Preferences
Just add these 4 website filters
For Singapore based ads add this too
Then click done.
Kiss all the ads goodbye and no more in-your-face irritating crappy Flash ads.
If you know any other ad serving servers, just do the same as above, find their website names and put it inside Adblock's filters.
Now you can enjoy reading blogs without all those nuisance advertisements and without having your bandwidth clogged up by these irritating advertisements which could prevent you from reading the blog of your choice if their ad server cocks up.
Long distance relationships are hard. Sigh..ReplyDelete
Good luck in everything and stay strong!

It was good meeting you too. One thing about not taking my computer (boo for me) is that blogger ate my post on the march, but now I can get it back up with pictures. I have to go in and scan them, but I can write it while uploading which is a good thing and the pictures will get me back in the moment.

Why Do Both Major Parties Suck So Badly On Civil Liberties?
from the power-corrupts? dept
Of course, if civil liberties is the issue you vote over, the other major party offers you no help either (as you should already know, based on Bush's presidency). As Adam Serwer notes, when debating issues of civil liberties, there really is no significant choice between Obama and Romney on this particular issue. There may be some differences at the margins, but that's about it.
Serwer's piece argues that much of this is driven by the American public, who seem particularly fond of giving up our own civil liberties in the face of non-stop fear mongering about terrorism. It seems likely that there is also something to the fact that, once in power, people generally don't like to scale back their own ability to "do stuff." Either way, it amazes me that avid supporters of one side or the other, who absolutely hate the idea of the "other side" getting into power, never seem concerned about how the other side will make use of the same policies they put in place to support themselves.
There are, of course, real differences in many of the other policies from the two candidates, but the lack of significant differences on civil liberties is a real shame. We should demand better.

IBM ThinkPad X31
The IBM Thinkpad X31 is a wonderful little laptop which contains everything you need for your everyday work, and even some gaming, if you tweak things a little. The X31 is rock solid, light (3.7 lbs), and nowadays very cheap. The only drawback is the lack of internal optical drive.You can see the specs of the X31 on ThinkWiki, a wonderful resource with additional informations.
A basic Arch Linux installation will do just fine for about everything, so I won't talk about sound or other basic stuff. No custom kernel needed. However, you will need the following particular packages:
- ipw2100-fw and wireless_tools for wireless
- xf86-video-ati for direct rendering (see above)
- uswsusp for hibernation (see above)
The following useful packages are in the AUR.
- rovclock for boosting direct rendering (see above)
Simply save this script as /usr/bin/hibernation:
#!/bin/bash modprobe -r ehci_hcd /usr/sbin/s2ram -rf modprobe ehci_hcd
You now just have to run this command whenever you want to suspend to ram:
# hibernation
To hibernate and resume simply by closing the lid of your laptop, simply run this command:
# echo -e "event=button[ /]lid\naction=/usr/bin/hibernation" > /etc/acpi/events/suspend.conf
It simply tells ACPI to run the command "hibernation" on the "lid closed" event. I strongly suggest using this. After less than a day, you'll think of shutting down a computer as barbaric, and you'll be astonished each time you see a computer taking more than five seconds to boot.
Note for those with resume issues after updating to kernel >=2.6.31: disable kernel modesetting by appending "nomodeset" to your kernel parameters. --Tad 05:51, 19 October 2009 (EDT)
Xorg and direct rendering
Use my /etc/xorg.conf:
Note added by Benoitb: I could not start X with your conf file, I removed some contents of the ServerFlags section to get it to start on my configuration. Others, please report your experiences.
Note from IchiFish: I had to to remove the line beginning with 'RgbPath' from this configuration file to get my X server to start. I also found it to perform worse (in terms of glxgears fps) than a plain one from hwd -xa with the PageFlip, ColorTiling and AGPMode options added. Also, if you don't intend on running a compositing window manager, it's advisable to disable the composite extension, as it can really slow things down, I've found in particular when switching to and from full screen terminal windows in XFCE. Finally, note that XV output (at least under mplayer) won't work unless the color depth is set to 24-bit (which will significantly reduce glxgears fps).

You can boost your performance by using my ~/.drirc:
<driconf> <device screen="0" driver="radeon"> <application name="Default"> <option name="force_s3tc_enable" value="true" /> <option name="no_rast" value="false" /> <option name="fthrottle_mode" value="2" /> <option name="tcl_mode" value="3" /> <option name="texture_depth" value="0" /> <option name="def_max_anisotropy" value="1.0" /> <option name="no_neg_lod_bias" value="false" /> <option name="texture_units" value="2" /> <option name="dither_mode" value="0" /> <option name="hyperz" value="true" /> <option name="round_mode" value="1" /> <option name="color_reduction" value="0" /> <option name="vblank_mode" value="0" /> <option name="allow_large_textures" value="2" /> </application> </device> </driconf>
This should double your glxgear. If you wish to play with your dri configuration, install driconf found in AUR.
You can also overclock your graphic card. As far as I know, there is no real drawback, but you can play it safe and only use it while running a game or compiz or any application using your graphic card:
# rovclock -c 220 -m 210
Use this command to get back to default settings:
# rovclock -c 144 -m 144
This, with the my drirc and xorg.conf, gives me a glxgears of 1400, which is pretty impressive for a 16mb video ram radeon. Default value for an Arch Linux is below 300, so it really is worth it. Note that if you what to enable it permanently, you just have to add the first command in your ~/.xinitrc, or use any other way to run it once X is started. If, however, you barely use your graphic card, you can lower both power usage and temperature slightly by underclocking your graphic card at boot. Add this command to ~/.xinitrc :
# rovclock -c 90 -m 100
Dual Screen
If you want to use an external screen for a presentation or as an extended desktop, you can use xrandr. For an extended desktop, you should first add one line in your /etc/x11/xorg.conf configuration file at the SubSection "Display" area: Before:
SubSection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" EndSubSection
SubSection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" Virtual 2304 1024 EndSubSection
The numbers are the total rectangular resolution that you need to use. In this case, I'm using the internal 1024x768 screen and an external 1280x1024 screen on the right. The total resolution is 1024+1280=2304 pixels large and 1024>768=1024 pixels height.
Note that in 24 bits with this option, the performance is affected for 3D drawing, so you may need to comment it and use only one screen when you need the graphical power.
Then restart your X server (ctrl-alt-backspace). You can issue this command in a shell:
xrandr --output VGA-0 --right-of LVDS
To find the exact name of the monitors and the maximum resolution that you set up in the configuration file, you can type just xrandr without arguments.
Here are various method to save power:
This will put your screen brightness to the minimum level when on battery and restore it to maximum when on ac power:
# echo -e '#!/bin/bash\necho 0 > /sys/class/backlight/thinkpad_screen/brightness' > /etc/laptop-mode/batt-start/battscript # chmod 0755 /etc/laptop-mode/batt-start/battscript # echo -e '#!/bin/bash\necho 7 > /sys/class/backlight/thinkpad_screen/brightness' > /etc/laptop-mode/lm-ac-start/acscript # chmod 0755 /etc/laptop-mode/lm-ac-start/acscript # ln -s /etc/laptop-mode/lm-ac-start/acscript /etc/laptop-mode/onlm-ac-start/acscript
It will create scripts, executed by the laptop-mode daemon when switching the power source, that change the brightness of your screen using the thinkpad_acpi module.
Adding those commands to your /etc/rc.local script will save you some power:
#!/bin/bash ethtool -s eth0 wol d rmmod uhci_hcd echo 5 > /proc/sys/vm/laptop_mode echo 1500 > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_centisecs hdparm -B 1 -S 12 /dev/sda echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog /sbin/iwpriv eth1 set_power 5
Ethtool cancels the power-draining and seldom needed wake-on-LAN feature of your ethernet card.
The uhci_hcd module drains a lot of power and is only needed for USB1 devices. If you still use them, remove the rmmod command. Don't use this command if you have an integrated bluetooth device otherwise it won't work
The next four commands simply tweak your hard drive to spin less, and therefore save a good deal of power.
The iwpriv command sets the wireless card on power saving mode.
The X31 CPUs can be undervolted, which means they will offer you the same performance, but with more battery life and a cooler laptop. From personal experience, my CPU temperature,during 100% activity, dropped by 15-20°C just by using this patch. This is extremely easy using the linux-phc patch, but only if you know the proper values to give the CPU. Informations on how to find them is available here or here. I know it can be hard to find your own values, so here is a table were you can indicate what are the good values for each of the X31 CPUs:
- Pentium-m 1600MHz : 34 26 18 12 8 5
Please note you computer may freeze once a month because of those values. If you find more stable ones, please indicate them.
One you have your values, just run:
# echo VALUES > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/phc_vids
For example:
# echo 34 26 18 12 8 5 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/phc_vids
You can add this command to your /etc/rc.local to make the undervolting permanent.
Put those line in your /etc/modprobe.conf:
options usbcore autosuspend=1 options ipw2100 associate=0 options snd_ac97_codec power_save=1 options thinkpad-acpi experimental=1 fan_control=1
The three first lines put some of your devices in power-saving mode, respectively the USB ports, the wireless card and the sound card. Note that you need the last line in order to control your fan speed (see above)
To see additional sources of power drain, install powertop:
# pacman -S powertop
And run it while on battery power.
Hard drive dilemna
As set earlier, the hard drive is on a power-saving mode that can make it spin off and on often. It may reduce its lifetime. You can install the smartmontools package and issue this command:
# smartctl -A /dev/sda | grep Load_Cycle_Count
If the number is growing too fast, you might want to set off the powersaving mode by issuing:
# hdparm -B 254 /dev/sda
See the above item rc.local to modify it at boot time.
You can use a script from ThinkWiki to considerably lower your CPU temperature. My maximum CPU temperature dropped by about ten degrees, so I really suggest using it. Simply download it from here, rename it to tp-fancontrol, and run:
# chmod 0755 tp-fancontrol # mv tp-fancontrol /usr/bin
To run the script at each boot, add this line to your /etc/rc.local:
tp-fancontrol -d
Also, I suggest changing the first maximum temperature threshold (the CPU one) to 55. Just edit /usr/bin/tp-fancontrol, the file is self-explanatory.
Wireless and WPA
If you have the Cisco neta504 wifi card, it's a bit tricky to use the wpa encryption with it. Firstofall, remove and blacklist the airo and the airo_cs modules in your /etc/rc.conf remove the module airo from the kernel
# rmmod airo # rmmod airo_cs
then install ndiswrapper
# pacman -S ndiswrapper
download the neta504 driver for windows and unpack it (Be sure that you have unpacked the whole driver !) Then run :
# ndiswrapper -i /path/to/your/dir/netA504.inf
Save the ndiswrapper conf file :
# ndiswrapper -m # ndiswrapper -ma # ndiswrapper -mi
Now you can add to your kernel the module :
# modprobe ndiswrapper
and voilà ! I've tried this with wicd and it works flawlessly !

Sellers Comments
The 2018 Ford Escape is a capable SUV. It has versatile seating/cargo combinations. And it's engineered to deliver the performance your lifestyle requires. You could say the Escape is one smart SUV. It has several driver-assist features that make driving easier. It includes available features such as the Safe and Smart Package, SYNC 3 and FordPass, and more. You want to carry lots of cargo? No problem. The rear seats fold to provide up to 68 cu. ft. of cargo capacity. Accessing the rear of the vehicle is also a breeze, thanks to an available hands-free, foot-activated liftgate. And to help you while slowly backing up the vehicle, a rearview camera is standard and a Reverse Sensing System is available. Depending on the model you choose, you have a 2.5L I-4 with intake variable cam design, a 1.5L turbocharged EcoBoost engine, or a 2.0L Twin-Scroll EcoBoost rated at 245hp.
