Making Respect an Art Form:
Over the course of her career the fearless and provocative Cuban artist Tania Bruguera has staged performances tweaking the Castro government, commenting on drug policy in Colombia, threatening to kill herself via Russian roulette in Venice, and plenty more. Her latest project, though, is her most ambitious, and potentially her most influential. A year ago, under the sponsorship of the Queens Museum and the public-art nonprofit Creative Time, she founded an organization called Immigrant Movement International, setting herself up in a storefront in Corona, Queens and moving in with immigrants nearby.
At first locals didn't know what to make of the fiercely energetic newcomer, but eventually the center's wide array of services—from legal help to language and art classes—transformed her headquarters, right near the 111th Street stop on the 7 train, into a busy hub. On Monday, April 9, for example, Immigrant Movement International will host a free immigration clinic sponsored by the City Bar Justice Center. Visitors can speak privately with an immigration attorney about matters including visas, Cuban immigration and family reunification—in Spanish, English, or Mandarin.
Along the way her team created a ribbon logo to advocate for their mission, coining the slogan "Immigrant Respect" to avoid the political aspects of the immigration issue and highlight its human side. They chose brown and blue to represent the entry points of immigrants who travel to a new country, over land or sea.
Immigrant Movement—which has been so successful that Bruguera's sponsors recently pledged to help keep it going for four more years— is part of a larger global trend, as creators like Ai Weiwei and Vik Muniz develop new strategies to connect art-making with activism. Can artists change the world? Maybe that's not the question—yet. Can they help? Stop over in Corona and find out.

Krista Gregory rocketed in a shot from 30 yards out just three minutes into the match and the Sea Lions scored five goals in the second half to send the Point Loma women's soccer team to a 6-1 victory over Chaminade on Oct. 13.
The win keeps the Sea Lions (9-2-1, 7-1-1 PacWest) in first place in the PacWest standings with 20 points. They have now won nine of their last 11 contests. Chaminade is still looking for its first win of the season. The Silverswords are now 0-10-0 on the season and 0-8-0 in the PacWest.
The match would be just 1-0 at the half before a strong second half surge sealed any doubt of a Sea Lions' win. Natalie Swift would start a scoring outburst in the 50th minute, which would see the Sea Lions put up three goals in two minutes. First Swift beat her defender and the goalie on a shot from the middle of the box following an assist from Codi Cameron.
Brooke Winklepleck recorded a goal in the 52nd minute on a shot from the top of the box that snuck over the head of Chaminade's leaping goalie. Kallie Caldwell had the assist. Swift would then help cap off the scoring run for Point Loma by finding Claire Matthews open in the middle of the box for another score to put PLNU in front 4-0.
Tara Kracy and Heather Cady would each add a goal later in the half. This was the second goal of the season for Kracy and the first for Cady.
The Point Loma women's soccer team will now close out its regular season with five of the last six matches on the road. They were to open the trip on Wednesday, Oct. 17 against Cal State San Marcos.
For the seventh time this season, the Point Loma volleyball team found itself locked in a five-set battle, which has not always been a good thing for the Sea Lions. On Oct. 13, it was Hawaii Pacific that slipped past PLNU in five sets, 25-19, 23-25, 12-25, 25-22 and 15-13.
This put Point Loma at 2-5 in five-set matches and at 7-11 on the season (3-6 PacWest). With the win, Hawaii Pacific moved to 8-7 on the year and to 2-5 in the PacWest.
Kelli LeClair had a double-double for the Sea Lions with 20 kills and 21 digs. McKensey Wise hit .419 with 14 kills and just one error. Nicole Eiler led PLNU with 24 digs and Natalie Hamill with 50 assists.
The Sea Warriors' biggest advantage came at the net where they were able to outblock Point Loma 15.5 to six. Amanda Moriarty led HPU with 13 kills.
After HPU won the opening set PLNU came back to win sets two (25-23) and three (25-12). The Sea Warriors answered with a 25-22 win in set four to send the match to the decisive fifth set.
In set five, HPU jumped out to a 7-2 and 10-5 lead before PLNU fought back. The Sea Lions would score five of the next six points to get within one point (11-10) and eventually tie it at 13-13. HPU would then get a kill and a block at the net on the next two points to earn the win.
This gave Point Loma a 2-2 record on its first four-match swing to Hawaii since joining the PacWest.
Point Loma were set to return to Golden Gymnasium to face Biola in a non-conference matchup on Tuesday, Oct. 16.
San Diego State University scored four goals to beat the Point Loma men's soccer team 4-0 on Monday, Oct. 15.
Four different student-athletes scored for the Aztecs (5-6-2). They got goals from Kody Duffy at 16 minutes and Casey Meuser in the 32nd minutes to take a 2-0 lead into halftime. SDSU would add two goals 10 minutes apart in the second period.
Griffin Fuller had two shots and Carter Phillips three saves to lead Point Loma (2-10-0).
The Sea Lions were to play another non-conference match on Wednesday, Oct. 17. They will travel to Cal State San Marcos for a 2 p.m. kickoff.
Three Point Loma men's golfers are in the top 15 and the Sea Lions sat in third place with a even score of 576 (282-294, E) through two rounds at the CSU San Marcos Fall Classic as of Monday, Oct. 15.
Zane Keith led the Sea Lions with a -3 (72-69) on the par-72 Twin Oaks Golf Course. He is tied sixth overall. Joining Keith in the top 10 was Oscar Casillas. Casillas went 1-under par in the first round (71) and backed it up with an even-par 72 to place tied for ninth.
Brett Hamilton started off hot for the Sea Lions with a 68 (-4) in the first round. His performance helped the PLNU men shoot a 6-under, 282 in the first round to be tied with Redlands for first place. Hamilton would shoot a 76 (+4) in the second round to shoot an even-par, 144 and stand tied for 15th going into the final. Cole Reese rounded out the scoring for Point Loma with a 148 (71-77, +4).
"We played well today and find ourselves five shots back going into the final round," said Point Loma head coach Zack Ponder. "We are in a good position to make a move and tomorrow will be a good test for us going into the NCCAA tournament in Florida."
Cal State San Marcos won the team competition with a 571 (286-285, -5). They edged Redlands (575, -1) by four strokes and PLNU by five. Pontus Widegren of UCLA won the individual competition with a 14-under, 130 (64-66).
The Sea Lions will now prepare to play in the NCCAA National Championships in Panama City, Fla., Oct. 22-24.
Kyle Russell placed fifth in the men's race at the 23rd Vanguard Invitational and Breelan Matranga took 21st to lead the Point Loma cross country squads. The women's team finished fourth and the men placed sixth.
This matched a season-best finish for the PLNU women's team. All five women's scorers placed in the top 36 to earn 125 team points for the Sea Lions. Matranga led the women's team for the fifth race this season but it was the effort of the other four that earned PLNU the fourth-place finish.
Gina Erbacci finished 31st in the 5k run at Fairview Park with a time of 19:14.78. Ashley Matsen was right behind her in 32nd place with a time of 19:18.93. Bailey Massenburg placed 33rd with a time of 19:19.92 and Alisa Poplawski was 36th (19:29.23) to round out the scoring for PLNU.
All five men placed in the top 54 to grab 141 points for the Sea Lions. Russell was fifth with a time of 25:38.99. Dylan Poorboy and Tyler Wilson followed in 26th and 29th place with times of 26:59.48 and 27:09.36, respectively. Tristan Oliver-Mallory placed 42nd and Tyler Norden came in at 54th.
Biola won the women's race with 27 points. Vanguard was the winner on the men's side.
Up next for the Point Loma men's and women's cross country teams will be their first appearance in the PacWest Championships. They will be held Saturday, Oct. 27 in Hawaii.
The Point Loma Alumni and Friends announced it will host its annual Homecoming Golf Tournament Friday, Nov. 16th at the Salt Creek Golf Club in Chula Vista.
The tournament will be a four-man scramble format starting at 11:30 a.m. There will be individual awards given for longest drive and closest to the pin, along with drawings for prizes.
The cost will be $90 (25 percent tax deductible). This will include green fees, a cart, range balls, tee prizes, lunch and a donation to the PLNU golf program. The entry deadline is Nov. 8. This tournament has a limitation of 72 players so early registration is greatly appreciated.
The Point Loma Alumni and Friends will also be offering sponsorship opportunities.

I need to frame my proposal within the context of requirements at competitive universities in Chile, Columbia, and Peru, and am hoping someone out there can give me feedback on where the strong English programs are located, and perhaps send me the contact information of their administrators so I can ask them a few questions. I am particularly interested in language institutes within universities, as opposed to English departments that offer degrees. I've sent out general queries to the TESOL special interest section I belong to, and received good responses, but none from Latin America. Any leads would be much appreciated! Thanks!

Back to top torghayJoined: 01 May 2007Posts: 6Location: Machala, Ecuador Posted: Tue May 03, 2011 2:25 am Post subject: Thanks, Spanglish. I am a TEFL instructor who worked in the Middle East for several years, and moved into balancing my time between teaching and administration. When I relocated to Ecuador (recently), I accepted a project to do teacher training and curriculum development to help meet new governmental standards for English proficiency at universities. Governmental guidelines are as of yet undefined, so I am proposing the use of a general framework, like the CEFR to give us some direction, and working on scheduling issues. My colleagues at the university are generally supportive of my goals, but they want to be able to place themselves within a Latin American context. They want a sense of the hours invested in attaining high-intermediate proficiency at institutions they would like to use as models, how the English courses are linked with the core curriculum, etc. Since I am new to Latin America, I don't have the background knowledge of other institutions to even know where to begin. As I mentioned earlier, requests for general information went unanswered here (though I received replies from elsewhere). I am not interested in trying to transplant a curriculum, but rather to build on what we have here, in collaboration with the teachers. Any information gathered from other institutions would serve as context for our goals and, hopefully, help me reinforce the point that it is unrealistic to ask beginners in an EFL context to reach professional level proficiency in 250 hours. If you have more questions, I'm happy to answer them. Please pm me. Thanks!

A short 10 minute talk about Buddhism followed by 20 minute meditation.
What is Buddhist Meditation?
In Buddhism, meditation means "effortlessly remaining in what is". This state may be brought about by calming and holding the mind, when compassion and wisdom are realized, or by working with our bodies' energy channels and meditating on light forms of Buddhas.
About Us
There are more than 600 lay Diamond Way Buddhist centers of the Karma Kagyu Lineage which have been started by Lama Ole Nydahl. These groups have a democratic structure and function through unpaid, voluntary work on the basis of idealism and friendship. The members share the responsibility for guiding meditations, answering questions and passing on the teachings.
The Diamond Way opens the most skillful methods of the Buddha to the modern world. Using them one learns to experience the world from a rich and self-liberating viewpoint. Its meditations develop a deep inner richness and lead to non-fabrication and an unwavering mind. They help us to discover and finally unfold all our enlightened qualities for the benefit of all beings as well as ourselves.
Meditations are always free, however donations help us to keep the teachings accessible to the public.

Ballantine's Championship. Noren Noses in front April 27 2013
Alexander Noren noses in front of the pack at the Ballantine's Championship at the Blackstone Golf Club in third round in South Korea. Alexander Noren /Getty Images Alexander has a one shot lead going into the final round of the Ballantine's Championship after a hectic third day, where some players had to make up for lost time after delays on Thursday and Friday, half the field had to complete their second rounds early this morning. Eventually, Kiradech Aphibarnrat and José Manuel Lara got up to join Wade Ormsby and Arnond Vongvanij at the top of the leaderboard at the completed halfway stage, all on -7 under par. Alexander had a -3 under par third round, for a tournament total of -9 under par, which was good enough at the end of the day to keep him on top of the board. Alex said it had been a long tough day; " It was a nice way to finish, and it was a long, tough day, a lot of wind. My short game I think held it together, and I didn't have that many chances but I took care of them when I got chances for birdies and made the important pars when I needed. So it was a big fight day. I'm just trying to play well tomorrow, and it's going to be a really fun day. I haven't been in the lead in a long time, and I've had some good finishes, but it will be a lot of fun. But I'm just trying to play good and make birdies and try to make more birdies than the other ones. It's easier for a player to come back when you've done something good in the past, you know you can score well around the track and good memories are always nice to have with you." Spaniard Pablo Larrazábal and Scot Peter Whiteford are tied in second place at -8 under par. Pablo had the lowest round of the day at -4 under par 68. Pablo said he had played beautifully, only missing one green in regulation; " I hit the ball beautifully today, I'm very happy with the round and to be in the fight again. I only missed one green in regulation which was something special. It will be good to be in the final group again, it's been a long time." Peter had to start the day early, and had to play 28 holes in a long day of golf; I was on the 5 am bus, first bus in, last bus out it looks like. It's been a long day but that's the job every now and then. My form has been pretty average, poor to be honest. I was hitting it half decent on the range and just not taking anything to the golf course, but this week has been better." Two Aussies are tied in fourth position, Brett Rumford and Marcus Fraser finished at -7 under par. Brett rounded off his third round in some style, carding five birdies in succession. They both agreed that the influence of compatriot Adam Scott was the inspiration of their good play, following Adam's victory at Augusta National. Brett summed it up; " With Adam winning the Masters it has inspired us all. The last couple of days have been interesting. It's been pretty frustrating but rewarding at the same time. Hopefully tomorrow I can just eliminate all the silly errors."

Group will increase interaction between TSA and the private sector
The Transportation Security Administration and the non-profit, Washington Homeland Security Roundtable, have formed an industry engagement group to increase interaction between TSA and the private sector.
The roundtable is a non-profit organization of individuals from companies who work in the homeland security market, providing support for policies, practices, procedures and procurements.
TSA and the roundtable formed an industry forum in June, and this industry engagement group is part of that outreach effort, according to the announcement on FedBizOpps.gov.
The industry engagement group will focus on identifying methods and processes with which TSA will engage industry on acquisitions. The group will not discuss specific acquisitions or TSA programs.
The first group meeting will be held Tuesday, Feb. 19 from 10 a.m. to noon at TSA headquarters.

can we all just get along
The best sort of interaction between the TSA and the rest of the world, would be the rest of the world abolishing the TSA and jailing the disgusting, knuckle-dragging bullies, sadists, child molesters, and wannabe rapists who grope us at the airport. This useless security theater desperately needs to come to a grinding halt!
Watch out: your taxes and your liberty are in extreme danger.This collusion between government and business is known as "fascism." Yep, exactly what Mussolin and his disciple Hitler popularized.

Re: Jim Carrey starring in Mr. Poppers Penguins
I'm really excited about this film, it is going to be great!
I was watching a little of Ace Ventura Pet Detective and when
all the animals come out of hiding, some penguins come out too.
So he has been around Penguins b4,
Re: Jim Carrey starring in Mr. Poppers Penguins
I wonder how things are progressing on this one.
Haven't heard anything lately
Any pics?
Should be fun and a funny one to make.
I wonder!
Re: Jim Carrey starring in Mr. Poppers Penguins
I noticed there's a lot of negative buzz around this project already ... everywhere. It always comes down to these two arguments.
- A Jim Carrey version of Mr. Popper just ain't right.
- This book is a very charming one, Hollywood will kill all that with CGI, choice of actors and putting the story in present day.
I don't know the book at all, but I kinda had the feeling this would happen. I hope this movie will suprise every single one of us.
Re: Jim Carrey starring in Mr. Poppers Penguins
yeah, I'm with the "JC version of Mr. Popper" is a pooper.
it's not going to surprise us, but good luck. I lost faith in Jim. sorry.
Re: Jim Carrey starring in Mr. Poppers Penguins
I've ordered the book so I'll have to read it first.
But Jim doesn't usually do anything half heartedly
He goes for the gold
Never underestimate the possibilities of Jim Carrey
He's always full of surprises
Don't you think?
Re: Jim Carrey starring in Mr. Poppers Penguins
i loved your comment, Canadian Jayne! So true
Re: Jim Carrey starring in Mr. Poppers Penguins
well, he is, but he tries too hard to be over the top, that it comes out badly. "I can do it better." thing is just old and overdone. I hope he keeps surprising us though.
Re: He will Surprise us,
I'm sure of that,
life is always changing,
so are all of us,
new challenges, new changes,
It's almost New Year's, ring out the old
ring in the new
Change is Gooooood(the way Jim says it)
Re: Jim Carrey starring in Mr. Poppers Penguins
Since this is the era of the Baby Boomers having grand children,
I hope they show some of movie from the eyes of the little penguins
Grandparents and children may see this movie together
and little people can relate to little animals if you view from
their eye level view(hope I'm getting across what I mean)
When I teach in the pool, I'm at the level of the children, they see
me one on one, not having to look up and see this big tall person.
It's better at the same level when communicating to wee ones.
Wouldn't it be similar with little animals too?
Re: Jim Carrey starring in Mr. Poppers Penguinsl
I now have the book and I've finished the first chapter.
It will be interesting how it is going to be done to fit this era
since this book was written in the 1930's when economic hard
times were prevalent-----hey----
sounds like today
It talks about eating beans today we'd probably eat
hmmmm what's cheap to eat today
Rice? Kraft Dinner?
What is your cheapest meal you've ever had???
Bread and water???
Any ideas?
Re: Jim Carrey starring in Mr. Poppers Penguins
I did an experiment-- which I often do...
There was an animal aid commercial on TV and I wondered if
the resident cat would understand or recognize the animals in need.
The cat was behind my head sleeping so I woke him up
and pointed to the TV, he didn't follow but he followed me as I
walked up to the TV. He started watching and stayed glued to the TV
until the commercial ended.
He seemed content and happy that he was saved from an animal
shelter himself. Everyone here loves the cats, they are showered
with alot of attention. I'm allergic to them but I still like them.
I think animals must feel something.

i'm so totally in love with nature and animals i could spend my whole life just observing their quirks and characters.....and if there's one thing i don't doubt is that animals feel.......just looking at their faces and their eyes reveals so much ...

Selena Gomez Surprises Terminally Ill Fan With In-Person Hospital Visit
Selena Gomez is giving back this holiday season, teaming up with Ryan Seacrest to help families in need through the talk show host's KIISmas Giving campaign.
According to his website, the 'American Idol' host heard about the story of a 13-year-old girl named Hana, who suffers from a fatally genetic disease called progeria. The rare illness dramatically accelerates the aging process, and the average life span for those with the disease is 13 years.
Upon hearing that one of Hana's dreams was to meet Gomez, Seacrest organized a surprise visit from the star at Children's Hospital Los Angeles. "Selena is one of the most generous people I have ever met in my life," Seacrest said. "She was recording her album here in Los Angeles, and she was heading to the airport to fly up North for a concert. I told Selena Hana's story, and she stopped recording her album in the studio, and went to meet Hana in the hospital, then flew to her concert."
The visit was a complete shock to Hana, who cried the moment the 'Who Says' singer left. "I can't believe it," Hana said. "I had so much to say, but I didn't want to cry in front of her because I didn't want to look like a baby." The 13 year old's dreams literally came true, and was described as "the best Christmas ever."

The seasonal change from summer to fall has long been my favorite.
Nature's growing season goes out in a brilliant display of burning glory, comfortable sleeping weather and an expanded wardrobe also are great perks. But, perhaps the best thing about fall is the various wine festivals centered around the celebration of harvest.
Plenty of great options await food and wine enthusiasts.
Wine festival spotlight
Geneva's quaint downtown turns into a bustling epicenter of food and wine delights once a year. The 32nd annual Festival of the Vine will be held Sept. 6 though 8. It's a short ride east for a must-attend fall event.
Located on the corner of Fourth and State streets, the Flavor Fare offers samples of the specialties of Geneva's finest restaurants. It is a must-visit for its eclectic diversity and high quality food. It's conveniently located next to the Wine Tent, which will have a selection of 17 wines.
"There's always something new at the Flavor Fare," said Geneva Chamber of Commerce Communications Director Laura Rush. "There's a wonderful mix of delicacies. There's ethnic variety, sweet, savory and salty food. There really is something for everyone."
The entire downtown transforms during the weekend. The lawn of the Old Courthouse on South Third Street hosts the garden market, arts and craft show and the children's activities – which are sponsored by the Geneva Chamber of Commerce and feature balloon and sand art. The flowers available at the market are always striking.
Live music and entertainment is available every day. While a stroll through the picturesque streets yields a versatile collection of intriguing businesses and restaurants, it's the social aspect Rush enjoys the most.
"We love to see different restaurants and shops join in on the weekend activities," she said. "Everyone is just so happy at the event to get out and see so many people they know."

15. through 23. are acceptable, only if the participle and so on is (a) set off from the main clause by commas, and (b) "having been" is implied.
EX: He, (having been) hardened from the war, . . . .
Note, participle, not -pal.
I was directing at teachers initially, but I'm not restricting it to any one party.Originally Posted by tdol
This is interesting because you are the first native speaker to state that the inclusion of the comma was essential to understanding. Some have suggested that it may help to add a comma, but that they may also be read correctly without. Mm?? Got me thinking now.Originally Posted by Casiopea
BTW, the original was "The man hardened in the war was never a father to him.".
E.g. "Uncle Danny was a father to him. The man (that was) hardened in the war was never a father to him. The boy never felt loved by that unemotional military monster."
Thanks for the "participle" correction, I must have been asleep.
Without context I'd use commas, with context, well, that's a whole 'nother story, now ain't it?
Sounds good to me as an elliptical adjectival clause:Originally Posted by M56
The man (who was) hardened in the war was never a father to him.
I spell it that way, too, sometimes. I am forever getting it confused with "the Principal is your pal."Originally Posted by M56
But when would they be found without a context, apart from in a classroom exercise?Originally Posted by Casiopea
I think, though some are a bit dubious.
That's just it, M56. Without all the facts, all the options should be provided. Empower your students. If the participle phrase is part of the integral meaning of the main clause, then don't add commas. Otherwise, add commas. Knowing when to add and when not to add requires a sense of what the writer is trying to express. One writer may use commas, and one writer won't use commas. It all depends on expressive style. Bottom line: provide the options. It's descriptively accurate, not to mention empowers the learner.Originally Posted by M56

She returns from a long day of school and plops her too-heavy backpack on the counter, grabs a honey crisp apple and heads to her room. My table used to be her sanctuary, my presence her guide. But I hear her bedroom door close and I wonder at the other woman who lives upstairs and seeks solace rather than mother.
Her flute keeps her busy and now basketball practice and games. She babysits for family friends and studies in-between.
How did we get here so quickly?
She is growing up and I feel the world pulling her away.
My grip is loosening. She wants more freedom, I'm slowly learning to give it.
But no one told me watching your daughter become a woman would be so hard.
Or so beautiful.
Her little sister in her shadow, these two strong girls cut from the same strong mold, both turning a year older, one shadowing the other.
They are my daughters.
They take my breath away with their drama and demands one minute and I'm humbled by their love of others the next.
My youngest adding the Muslims of the world to her bedtime prayers and my oldest carries the burden of knowing the pain in our world…I see it when she questions if child slaves made her costume jewelry.
It's hard fitting back into junior high girl stuff when your world has been expanded. We navigate these uncomfortable waters together. I've introduced my children to The Struggle (the one I wrestle with daily). At 6, my little one doesn't know any difference and I'm proud her heart knows no limits.
We do the mother daughter dance and we have good days and bad ones. We say things we regret in anger, we forgive in the quiet places. We live with passion because we don't know another way.
I try to remember how my mom and I journeyed this road. I know why she cried when I left (and maybe rejoiced a little).
And rejoiced each time I returned (and maybe cried a little).
My baby reads now and has a wiggly tooth. She is hardly a baby, but when she brings me a book or asks me to pick out her clothes, I answer. Because she'll go thru a period of not asking or liking my answers.
I let go of my daughters a little more every day.
Because I know they will return to me.
As my friends.

At county budget hearing, embellishments accompany pleas
Music and poetry filled the County Legislature chambers Monday as speakers urged lawmakers not to scale back funding for arts and cultural groups, libraries and youth programs next year.
A county budget hearing that drew more than 50 speakers was dominated by members of local nonprofit organizations who asked lawmakers to keep the $5.5 million that County Executive Mark C. Poloncarz has proposed for local arts and cultural groups in the 2013 spending plan. "We have in this community theaters, museums, music venues, churches, etc., but these are just buildings," said Charles T. Peszynski, president of the Polish Arts Club of Buffalo. "Without the cultural organizations that populate and enliven them, they're empty shells. We would be a community without a soul."
Poloncarz proposed a $1.38 billion budget that would raise the property tax rate by 3.4 percent, cut 63 mostly vacant jobs and use surplus funds to balance the budget. He has described the proposed tax increase as necessary to maintain popular services such as county libraries and youth programs, despite declining revenue and rising expenses next year.
Legislators will spend the next two weeks hashing out their own changes to the proposed budget, and a majority of the members of the 11-member Legislature have said they would like to work toward eliminating the tax hike.
But what they heard Monday night was speaker after speaker – some embellishing their remarks with poetry and singing – who asked legislators not to cut funding for culturals , libraries and youth programs as they finalize the budget.
"The public library system, it's been cut enough," said Gary Earl Ross, board chairman and resident playwright at Ujima Theatre Company. "The arts community, it's not a matter of the money, as much as it is a matter of quality of life."
The 2½-hour hearing covered a range of topics – from support for the county's rat-control program to a request for adequate funding to fix roads and bridges.
Two speakers urged lawmakers to find a way to reduce the proposed tax increase. "As I look at the newspaper and listen to the TV news during these budget discussions, the same few areas are listed for reductions," said Jolene M. Jeffe, supervisor of the Town of Aurora. "It includes the usual – what I call 'political footballs' – that get the residents fired up, including the library, culturals, road patrol and parks, among others. Yet there are at least 43 departments listed in the table of contents of this budget."
Jeffe pleaded with the county executive and the Legislature to look at all of the departments to find savings.
Several speakers also expressed concern that the 2013 proposed budget would cut funding for an early childhood initiative known as Success by 6. The program, which provides training, mentoring and other help for early child care providers, received $98,192 through the county budget in recent years but would lose that money next year because of changes in federal grant funding.
"I ask you to envision what our community would be like without Success by 6," said Lynn A. Pullano, education director for the United Way of Buffalo & Erie County. "The results might be suspensions by 6, absences by 8, school dropouts by senior high and eventually perpetual poverty. We can invest in Success by 6 today, or we can pay later."

"Getting a Galway county title medal is like hen's teeth. The likes of Aonghus (Callanan) and David (Collins). It was their one shot, one chance and they had to take it. Fair play, both of them stood up as leaders on the pitch with everybody else out there."
Clare native Louis Mulqueen mastermined Liam Mellows' first Galway SHC success in 47 years.
"I can't say enough about the management team, the effort and the commitment they have to this and I can't say enough about the players. They're such a grounded, self-driven, ambitious group of lads and we're very proud of them. They have given a very good performance again here today."
Cuala continued their winning ways under Mattie Kenny against Kilcormac/Killoughey.
"We looked over their past results in Leinster and they had only conceded an average of 14 points. When you're playing a defensive team, it's very important to get a good start. We did that - 1-8 without reply - that set us up nicely. It meant they had to come out and play a bit more, which suited us."
Victorious captain Paul Schutte revealed how Cuala's game plan worked a treat.
"Never before did a team put us under such pressure, but we showed real character to survive. Glenealy were terrific. They out-hurled us at times. They were an absolute credit to Wicklow."
Jim Lyng's Ballyragget survived a major scare against Glenealy in Saturday's Leinster Club IHC decider.
"I'm relieved it wasn't a draw, but today's not about me, it's about Carnacon and the girls and winning our sixth All Ireland."
With a sixth All-Ireland club medal in the bag, Mayo legend Cora Staunton will board a plane for Australia tomorrow.
"I'm excited for the players - I'm there to serve them. Myself, my management team, my backroom team - I'm really lucky to have some great people there and they're all there to help the players to be their very best. After the game, it is all about the players. It's not about me."
A player-centred approach is a cornerstone of Jim Gavin's management philosophy.
"We've heard gunshots over the past few days and bombs going off and you look around and people don't flinch here whereas we're running scared, and rightly so. It's scary to think that this is normal life for them. How can normal life be gunfire and bombs going off within a couple of hundred yards of you? That's not real life in my book anyway."
Unicef Ireland goodwill ambassador Joe Canning's trip to Aleppo put life into perspective.
"They've been criticised for paying competitive salaries to their staff, but why are the GPA being singled out? There are people being paid in the GAA at all levels. Nobody ever questions this, or the various rates, but the GPA is fair game? That's not right. If I had to use one word to describe the GPA, I'd go for 'supportive'."
Wexford star Lee Chin defended the GPA from recent criticism.

Hampton Public Library faced with structural concerns
A bulging exterior wall at the Hampton Public Library has forced city officials to explore possible repairs, but the extent of the problem is still unknown at this point.
The Hampton City Council authorized the engineering firm Yaggy Colby Associates to move forward with an ongoing examination of the library's curved brick wall at their meeting March 13. Adams Construction noticed the bulge this winter while gathering preliminary specifics for future window replacement, but the crew was hesitant to proceed in case the wall was structurally unsound. The discovery prompted the city council to begin an investigation that will determine if any corrective measures need to be taken.
"It does appear it's been in this bowed condition for some time," said Yaggy Colby engineer Ben Wolf. "It could be stable."

purses for Tiffany and Daria
Added May 30, 2013
by mswift34
San Luis Obispo,...
I made small purses for my 12 year old neighbors. I drafted the pattern myself. Honestly, I haven't uploaded any of my projects and I need to start. I'm starting with this one, but … I made them last summer & I don't completely remember all the steps. They have a yoke with piping, pleated bottoms, and a bottom panel that tapers into the yoke on both sides. I hand-stitched tabs on the top with D-rings for the strap to be clipped to. After I made the purses, I put goodies in them for the girls; nail polish, barrettes, lip gloss etc. It was fun :)

The LG Optimus 3D is the Korean manufacturer's second-generation glasses-free 3D smartphone.
Headed to Korea in March, then Europe and elsewhere later, the Optimus 3D MAX (spelled the old-fashioned way, with just one X) takes the original Optimus 3D's hardware and makes some modest improvements, before packing it into a slimmer, lighter chassis.
The MAX's specs will be familiar to anyone who's used the original Optimus 3D -- there's a 4.3-inch WVGA 3D IPS display, dual 5MP rear cameras, 8GB of internal storage and 1GB of app storage and HSPA+ support up to 21Mbps. The CPU's even the same model -- an TI OMAP 4430 -- though it's been bumped from 1GHz up to 1.2GHz. The device ships with Android 2.3 Gingerbread, with an ICS upgrade coming "shortly after release".

But despite that, at this point in the series I have the feeling that Zessica's main role lies in comparisons of her to Mykage. If the plot for her doesn't progress in the way I'm hoping it will (or something better than I have in mind), I will be really annoyed.
As I'm sure I've mentioned many times, one of the things that's bugged me in Aquarion is what a hash the writers have made of Zessica's character. She turned into a person who is defined solely by her love for Amata. It's plain old character assassination. Like Mikono's lack of decision making and the whole Amata/Mikono romance getting put on pause, Zessica was put on pause too, and not given a chance to either (a) get over Amata, or (b) demonstrate that her whole life and character doesn't revolve around him.
So, why are the writers doing this? The "love triangles" in the series were never proper love triangles. Amata never really showed interest in Zessica, and Mikono never really showed interest in Kagura. But it was still all dragged out. It's clear that Amata/Mikono's development had to be frozen for plot-related reasons, in order to spook Amata and Zessica into thinking Kagura could be a threat, while keeping the Kagura=Amata thing secret. Zessica...I suppose she could have been kept moping just for her role as an accessory to all that, but that would be very flimsy.
But hark! It's not all Zessica's here for. She gets to be taken over by Mykage, who feels sympathetic towards her because it's clear that she's already lost the person she really wants. So - there are two ways this can all go, now.
(A) Zessica's role in plot activity really was just to make her a damsel in bodysnatched distress, which would suck, and which I would not put past the writers at this point. After all, they spent time building up Mikono's character but then instantly put her into a situation where there was nothing she could do but yell for various people to stop fighting. The writers have no problem with making sure that characters can't take action, as long as it helps the plot along.
I really don't want that to be the case, and in my opinion, the writers will be severely wasting the potential of the series if they don't take option (B). (B) is that actually, there was a reason why Zessica was built up as sympathetic but utterly screwed in the love department, and a reason why the writers would not simply let her get over it. It has to be because she needs to be that way in order to mirror Mykage. Because she has to be the one to defeat Mykage. Mykage is Toma's dark side, full of angst and bitterness over his now-unrequited love. He even picked Zessica because of her similarities to him.
One of Zessica's strengths as a character is that although she really really wanted Amata for herself, she didn't blame him for not loving her, and didn't blame Mikono for being the one he loved. Her love is genuine. Well, Mykage's is genuine too, but he's got problems with the whole twisted and rage-filled thing, and right now it's apparently leading him to a "kill all humans rargh" point of view.
And Mykage has possessed Zessica. In a way, this has left him especially vulnerable to her, hasn't it? If she can fight back, she has seriously got access to Mykage. He is right there in the body of someone who feels similar pain to him but isn't encumbered with the bitterness of 24,000 years. It will be a cop out if Zessica gets killed and takes Mykage with her. It could happen...but it would be a sucky ending for both of them. Zess had a bright future ahead of her, and it's about time that Mykage's anger came to an end. The cycle of continuing angst for him really needs to stop. But perhaps what Zessica will do is fight against Mykage and by example change him in a way which will stop the cycle. If anyone in the story can do that, it should be Zessica.
On the other hand, if Fudo is part of Apollonius, maybe he's going to man up and actually do something. Like talking to Mykage and suggesting counseling. Because in the end, this is still over over Toma's distress because Apollonius left him. Yes, yes, he's not responsible for the man he left at the altar, but after 24,000 years one would have thought he'd do something about this other than cryptically encourage teenagers to fight in mecha.

This is what I think the writers were aiming for with the love quadrangle:
1. AmataXMikono is the main pairing, and we'll establish that by getting them off to a fast start (which, to their credit, they did).
2. We'll have rivals on both sides (a male rival for Amata, a female rival for Mikono) to stretch out the romance conflict/drama of the anime narrative. By making it a "two-front war", this will effectively "kill time" until Amata and Mikono have their big, heartwarming romantic moment in the last episode or two. This will be the ultimate romance climax experience, as long-suffering and patient AmataXMikono shippers (which meant Aquarion EVOL fans in general, Kawamori was probably hoping) finally get to see the two come together in a clear-cut and powerful way.
3. The male rival - Kagura - will be the main "front-line" antagonist of the show, and will play an important role in most of our action scenes.
4. The female rival - Zessica - will be the main female "action star". Like Kagura, she'll play an important role in action scenes, only from the protagonist side.
5. 3 and 4 ensures that Kagura and Zessica maintain plot relevance above and beyond romance conflict alone.
6. 5 is important since we intend to use Kagura and Zessica in convenient ways to build up the drama of the show, as well as contribute to Amata/Mikono's character development.
Here's the sad truth, I think - I don't think that Kagura and Zessica were ever important in and of themselves from the writing staff's perspective. In other words, they were what I could call "complimentary characters" - There to serve whatever role the true main characters and the plot required of them.
This is where I think the writing staff goofed. Zessica and Kagura were simply intended to be the romance equivalent of Team Rocket - There simply to ensure conflict, and ultimately to "put over" Amata Ketchum and his dear MikoChu. Amata and Mikono being less popular than Kagura and Zessica (respectively) was a totally unforeseen and unplanned development, I think. That's partly why Kawamori is so bothered by it, I think - It throws a mighty wrench into his plans.
It's also why I'm not hopeful about Zessica and Kagura's final fate. They've served their purposes, now they're probably going to die or get absorbed...

Triple_R I'm not too hopeful about what's in store either. Kagura's voice over during the preview was a huge death flag.
GoldenLand I definitely agree with everything you said. The only way I can see this series ending in a satisfying way is that they break the whole reincarnation cycle. But, they're probably not gonna go for that.
What type of ending you guys think they're gonna go for? Will it be good or bad?

My thinking on some of the characters...
Kagura: Killed in battle or absorbed into Amata forming Amagura. If absorbed, it'll be implied that 'Amata' is the dominant half of 'Amagura'. I'd say the most likely result is him getting absorbed.
Zessica: Kamikazes herself to take out Mykage or somehow fuses with Mykage to form a reborn Touma (who may simply disappear shortly after, which would mean that Zessica essentially dies anyway). If the writing staff is feeling particularly cold, we've already seen the last of the real Zessica, and Zessikage will get killed before Zessica gets a chance to regain control of her body. I'd say the most likely result is the kamikaze ending.
Andy and MIX(Y): - My gut feeling is that Andy rescues MIX(Y) but that MIXY never gets the "Big Bangs" back. Andy/MIXY are seen in a quasi-Yaoi relationship in a brief epilogue.
One other named protagonist will probably die. I'm going to guess Yunoha (dramatic scene where she sacrifices herself to help the protagonists win, and says "Finally, I get to be with Jin again!") or Cayenne (dramatic scene where he sacrifices himself to help the protagonists win, and says "Shrade, I guess we'll be reunited soon, old friend.").

I actually don't think it was ever shown(I could be wrong, I can't bring myself to watch Aquarion again after the Pollon reveal) on screen. Or at least not said in the flashbacks which were mostly silent, though the Apollo/Apollonius and Silvia/Celiane scene was at least voiced near the end of the series. However the Genesis crew made it out to be a big deal, especially their apparent love for each other where Apollonius betrayed everything to be with her. Still didn't stop Apollonius from not showing up however unless he's Fudo... Crea... And Aquarion. Poor Celiane though thought otherwise only to end up with a dog.
The OVA was all kinds of confusing since it changed a lot of things and apparently was a prequel... Or something. Which is confusing since wouldn't that make the love between Apollonius and Celiane more than 24,000 years? And what of Reika if it was a prequel?

I personally wouldn't mind seeing Amata and Mikono not end up together. Have them confess their love to each other but have some circumstance where they can't be together. Don't make everyone else suffer then have those two be together.

Given anime's love for heroes who die for the world or a specific love one (I can think of three prominent anime shows that have aired in the last year or so for which this applies), I could see Aquarion EVOL going that way.
Hhhmmm... I guess that's one way Amata might be denied his happy ending if it happens. It could also help explain why Kawamori is miffed at people for not liking Mikono more. If she's going to be the great, sacrificial hero of the final episode, Kawamori would naturally want viewers to like her going into the final episode. Kind of a waste otherwise...

I'm still pretty much convinced that Mykage and Zessica only have one thing linearly in common, a broken heart. You make a good point that Zessica is similar to Mykage (if we ignore everything else about his character aside from love, which isn't even why he's reincarnated in this cycle) but they are similar because of how differently they take to love... so you can't really say that he possessed her because of their similarities which they don't have in a linear fashion (more anti-parallel, and even then, Zessica is more the foil of Mikono). Their only common basis is heart break. So that would translate into her giving up and the depression of the realization is what got her possessed.
Apollonius should be the one taking responsibility for Touma, honestly, almost all of this falls on his shoulders. That and, the message being sent out to the audience becomes a total mess too.
~ Don't interfere with 12,000 years of love, you're an outsider and should go away. If you try to, you get shat on. Unless you're Pollon.
~ Interfere with 24,000 years of love, that one you can stop because its not the main character's. If you try to, you save the day.
The whole thing has become a debacle anyway. Amata/Kagura has just become a complete cluster**** that I cannot believe they are actually trying to play straight because there's so many holes left in the whole thing.
I don't get this "character assassination" of Zessica? Reminders:
(1.) Did nothing in first three episodes but pilot and make brief cameos.
(2.) Teased for one episodes.
(3.) Piloted in six.
(4.) Fell in love in 7/8
(5.) Everything else people refer too.
There wasn't some previously established character that they assassinated. Can she still pilot? Yes. Teasing? Evolved. Does she still kick ass? Yes, and crotches. She was only in four episodes with good screen time before SHTF.... so what got assassinated? People's expectations or her character?

The Genesis cast made it clear that there was a promise made, which is why they were all hyped up over who was Apollonius and Celiane since they were destined to meet up again and reincarnate(Poor Sirius... Guess your half loved Apollonius so much that you wanted to be him. With Apollo being Pollon your hate of him is understandable since he's impersonating your true love). So yes, Pollon did hyjack it and trolled everyone 12,000 years later since not even the Genesis cast knew of Pollon or cared for him while going crazy over Apollonius and Celiane.

I honestly don't think Zessica is going to die at the end. A lot of hints from previous episodes like her complete trust in Amata and having him accompany her in the dark point to her getting saved from Mykage eventually. And I'm still not sure how Zessica can do anything on her own to expel Mykage from her body now. Assuming that letting go of her love is the way to get rid of Mykage (a big if), I doubt she can get over her deep love for Amata which has been built up for nearly two thirds of the show in merely two episodes. That would be absurd.

Belt's homer in 10th lifts Giants over Padres 5-3
SAN DIEGO (AP) — Although it is still early July, the importance of the San Francisco Giants' improbable win wasn't lost on the club.
Brandon Belt hit a two-run homer in the 10th inning, one inning after Michael Morse tied the game with a solo shot, to give the struggling Giants a 5-3 win over the San Diego Padres on Saturday night.
The comeback win wasn't only unlikely, given that the Giants have scuffled offensively for nearly two weeks, but it was also unexpected because they rallied against Padres closer Huston Street, who has been nearly unbeatable for more than a year.
"We have been in a tough rut here," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. "Morse saved us, he saved our skin. You don't think that you're going to hit rock bottom, but that was a possibility today."
The Giants came in having lost 18 of 23 games, and had dropped 11 games in the standings to fall out of first place in the NL West behind the Los Angeles Dodgers.
The dramatic win is the spark the Giants hope will lift them from their funk.
"Hopefully, this is some kind of momentum that we need," said Giants starter Tim Hudson. "We've needed a win like this for a while. Hopefully, this is the start of something better than what's been going on."
San Francisco had been shut out in three of its previous five games and had scored more than two runs in just two of 11 games.
Belt, in his second game back from the disabled list, homered off Dale Thayer (3-3) after Hunter Pence legged out a double to lead off the inning. Belt, who missed 50 games with a broken thumb, hit his 10th homer of the season into the right-field stands.
"It felt good, sounded good, made me feel good," Belt said. "I was just happy because we needed a big hit. It was an exciting moment. It was nice to do something out there."
Before he homered, Belt was hitless in seven at-bats with one walk in his return.
Morse gave the Giants a huge lift with his homer leading off the ninth inning against Street to tie it 3-3. That broke Street's streak of 23 consecutive saves, the longest run in the majors.
"His reaction was like it was a walkoff homer to win Game 7 of the World Series," Hudson said about Morse. "We haven't had that fun, that excitement, that youthful exuberance in a while."
Morse's homer was just the second blown save for Street since May 2013. The righty had converted 48 of 49 chances in that time.
"It's not about the streak," Street said. "It's never about the streak. Tonight was just one blown save, one bad pitch. We had a win if I made a good pitch."
Sergio Romo (4-3), recently demoted from the closer role, earned the win. Santiago Casilla got the final three outs for his second save in five chances.
San Diego's season-high, five-game winning streak was snapped.
After Joe Panik's sacrifice fly put San Francisco ahead 2-1 in the seventh, the Padres scored two runs in the bottom of the inning.
Yasmani Grandal doubled with one out off of Jean Machi and scored the tying run on Jake Goebbert's triple into the right-center field gap. Cameron Maybin followed with a sacrifice fly that easily scored Goebbert.
Hudson had his second strong outing to break a three-start losing streak. Hudson gave up one run on three hits over six innings and avoided matching his career high for losses in consecutive starts. He struck out four and didn't walk a batter.
The Padres tied it in the sixth on Seth Smith's sacrifice fly with one out after consecutive singles by Brooks Conrad and Alexi Amarista to open the inning.
Gregor Blanco hit his first homer of the season to give the Giants a 1-0 lead in the second.
Cuban defector Odrisamer Despaigne made his third career start for San Diego since being called up from the minors last month. The 27-year-old right-hander, who beat the Giants in his major league debut on June 23, wasn't as sharp this time.
He overcame four walks and allowed one run and two hits over six innings, his shortest outing. In three starts since coming up from the minors, Despaigne has an ERA of 1.41.
San Francisco third baseman Pablo Sandoval left the game in the first inning with a bruised left elbow after he swung and missed a pitch that hit him.
NOTES: San Diego was the only team that hadn't blown a lead after seven innings this season, going 29-0. ... Pence extended his hitting streak to 10 games with an infield single to open the game. ... The Padres have given up three homers in a game only twice this season, second lowest to the Chicago Cubs (1). ... Giants RHP Tim Lincecum (7-5, 4.06 ERA) will face Padres RHP Jesse Hahn (4-1, 1.95) in Sunday's series finale.

How coreboot starts after Reset
Whenever an x86 CPU wakes up after reset, it does it in Real Mode. This mode is limited to 1MiB address space and 64k offsets and the reset vector of the original 8086/88 was located at 0xFFFF0.
As there was no change even if we run current processors like P3, these newer CPUs also feels like they where start at 0xF0000:0xFFF0 after a reset. But they do not. The base of the code segment register is 0xFFFF0000 after reset, so the CPU generates a physical address of 0xFFFFFFF0 to the chipset. And the chipset is responsible to forward this area to the boot ROM. Its confusing: The CPU "thinks" it runs code at 0xF000:0xFFF0 but instead it uses code at 0xFFFFFFF0. The developers must have been tanked up when they realised this design into silicon.
On some chipsets there is an additional pitfall: The A20 gate. It was introduced to support full compatibility for the 80286 CPU with their predecessor 8086. When the old CPU accesses space "behind" the 0xFFFFF (=1MiB) limit, they wrap around to 0x00000. On 80286 and newer processors accesses above 0xFFFFF natively do not wrap around. The external A20 gate forces this wrap also on newer CPUs. On older CPUs its open after reset, so the CPU cannot generate addresses with A20 set.
Next pitfall on some chipsets is, if they are able to forward two address spaces to the boot ROM: 0xFFFF0000 and 0xF0000. If not and the opcode at the reset vector does something like "jmp 0xF000:xxxx" this crashes the machine immediately, as this will force the baseaddress of the code segment register to 0. After this, the CPU really outputs address with 0xFxxxx to the chipset. And if the chipset cannot handle the forwarding of two address spaces, the boot ROM cannot be accessed anymore. You are lost.
How to escape from these restrictions?
First of all, we must ensure not to touch the baseaddress of the code segment register. This will keep us in the 0xFFFF0000 address space. We can ensure this by using branches only instead of jumps. So the opcode at the reset vector must be nothing else than a branch command! The next step depends on the used chipset. Does it open the gate A20 after reset? If yes, we must close it prior switching to Linear Flat Mode.
Mandatory steps
- loading a Global Descriptor Table
- activating the pm bit in the CCR0 register
- reloading of the code segment register (with a far jump)
This only requires a small amount of code. So we can shrink the pain of the real mode to only a very small part of our whole program.
Everything becomes easy when we are reaching the Linear Flat Mode. No more hardware pain, no more toolchain pain. Why Linear Flat Mode and not Protected Mode? Most people call this operation mode Protected Mode, when they switch the CPU to its native 32bit operation mode in this way. But it's only a Linear Flat Mode, as there is no protection at all. Its more like a 32 bit real mode. There is no address translation, no paging and no protection
The Linear Flat Mode
When all segment registers uses the same baseaddress and limits, it is called the Linear Flat Mode. Advantages:
- no limits in the 4GiB address space
- everything is allowed
- no access restrictions to RAM and I/O
- clear and easy to understand source code, no "tricks" required to access space above 1MiB
- no protection if someone is working with a NULL or invalid pointer
- no protection if any accessed address is invalid
- as everything is allowed, everything could work against you
- no protection of stack overflow
There is still one pain after entering the Linear Flat Mode: The lack of system RAM. This issue will be addressed by the Cache As RAM solution. See below.
The Toolchain Pain and how to solve it
It seems modern toolchains handle the Real Mode opcode generation in a correct manner. But they do not really support Real Mode sections across all parts of the toolchain. The flaw is the linker: You can't link Real Mode sections (means 16 bit), if they contain unresolved symbols (the direction doesn't matter).
But you can link every Real Mode section if it does not contain any unresolved symbols! So to solve the toolchain pain we only must avoid unresolved symbols in our Real Mode sections! As we control their content this is a way to go.
To avoid unresolved symbols we must use fixed addresses in our commands that refer external symbols when we use it in a common way. To ensure that fixed addresses are working correctly at runtime, this forces a special layout in our ROM image.
All we need are four fixed addresses, and the correct code at these points:
- reset vector
- the program code to load the GDT and switch to Linear Flat Mode
- the Global Descriptor Table for Linear Flat Mode
- the program code entered in Linear Flat Mode
The first two of this list are realmode sections we need special handling for, the last two are allready 32 bit section, we can link and use as expected.
These four fixed addresses are defined in the coreboot v3 menu when the expert mode is enabled. This menu is only important for developers, as they must define the addresses and sizes of this four areas to fit platform's requirements.
The linker script to achive this layout looks like this:
OUTPUT_FORMAT("elf32-i386", "elf32-i386", "elf32-i386") OUTPUT_ARCH(i386) SECTIONS { .stage0_1 CONFIG_STAGE_0_PA_BASE : AT ( 0 ) { _stage0_1 = .; *(.text); *(.data); *(.bss); *(.rodata.*) *(.rodata) _estage0_1 = .; } /* ############## Create the delicate workflow for reset ################### */ .stage0_flat_mode CONFIG_STAGE_0_PA_FLAT_SIDE : \ AT ( CONFIG_STAGE_0_PA_FLAT_SIDE - CONFIG_STAGE_0_PA_BASE ) { FILL(0xFF); *(.flat_mode_first); *(.flat_mode); } .stage0_gdt CONFIG_STAGE_0_PA_GDT : \ AT ( CONFIG_STAGE_0_PA_GDT - CONFIG_STAGE_0_PA_BASE ) { FILL(0xFF); *(.global_gdt); } .stage0_real_mode CONFIG_STAGE_0_PA_REAL_SIDE - 0xFFF00000 : \ AT ( CONFIG_STAGE_0_PA_REAL_SIDE - CONFIG_STAGE_0_PA_BASE ) { FILL(0x90); /* fill with NOP opcodes */ *(.real_mode_first); *(.real_mode); } .stage0_reset CONFIG_STAGE_0_PA_RESET_VECTOR - 0xFFF00000 : \ AT ( CONFIG_STAGE_0_PA_RESET_VECTOR - CONFIG_STAGE_0_PA_BASE ) { FILL(0xFF); *(.reset_first); *(.reset); } /* fill the image up to the end */ .stage0_filler 0x0000FFFE : AT ( 0xFFFFFFFE - CONFIG_STAGE_0_PA_BASE ) { FILL(0xFF); BYTE(0xFE); /* Computer type (XT) */ BYTE(0xFF); /* Checksum byte */ } /DISCARD/ : { *(.comment) *(.note) *(.note.GNU-stack) } }
With this lables our layout now looks like this:
After linking the whole code we could check the result with:
[jbe@jupiter]~/coreboot-v3> objdump -h build/stage0.o build/stage0.o: file format elf32-i386 Sections: Idx Name Size VMA LMA File off Algn 0 .stage0_1 0000199d ffffc100 00000000 00000100 2**5 CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, CODE 1 .stage0_flat_mode 00000178 fffffc00 00003b00 00001c00 2**0 CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, READONLY, CODE 2 .stage0_gdt 00000028 ffffff00 00003e00 00001f00 2**0 CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, READONLY, CODE 3 .stage0_real_mode 0000002e 000fffa0 00003ea0 00001fa0 2**0 CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, READONLY, CODE 4 .stage0_reset 0000000e 000ffff0 00003ef0 00001ff0 2**0 CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, READONLY, CODE 5 .stage0_filler 00000002 0000fffe 00003efe 00001ffe 2**0 CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, DATA
This is the layout.
Now we will fill the sections with code. The first one is the last one in the ROM: The reset vector. To avoid any unresolved symbols in this section we must create the branch opcode manually.
.code16 .section ".reset_first", "ax" .globl reset_entry reset_entry: .byte 0xe9 .word CONFIG_STAGE_0_PA_REAL_SIDE-(CONFIG_STAGE_0_PA_RESET_VECTOR+0x3)
We can check the result with objdump:
[jbe@jupiter]~/coreboot-v3> objdump -mi8086 -d -j .stage0_reset build/stage0.o build/stage0.o: file format elf32-i386 Disassembly of section .stage0_reset: 000ffff0 <reset_entry>: ffff0: e9 ad ff jmp ffa0 <gdt_limit+0xff79>
The next step is to load a GDT, enabling protected mode and jump to the flat mode code. This is also 16 bit code so we cannot use any labels to load the GDT and to jump to the correct flat mode code address. But we alinged both to fixed physical addresses, so we can use these addresses now:
.code16 .section ".real_mode", "ax" .globl real_mode_fallback_entry real_mode_fallback_entry: cli movl %eax, %ebp; /* save the BIST result */ xorl %eax, %eax movl %eax, %cr3 /* Invalidate TLB */ data32 lgdt %cs:(CONFIG_STAGE_0_PA_GDT-0xFFFF0000) movl %cr0, %eax andl $0x7FFAFFD1, %eax /* PG,AM,WP,NE,TS,EM,MP = 0 */ orl $0x60000001, %eax /* CD, NW, PE = 1 */ movl %eax, %cr0 movl %ebp, %eax /* Restore BIST result */ data32 ljmp $ROM_CODE_SEG, $CONFIG_STAGE_0_PA_FLAT_SIDE
We can also check the result with objdump:
[jbe@jupiter]~/coreboot-v3> objdump -mi8086 -d -j .stage0_real_mode build/stage0.o build/stage0.o: file format elf32-i386 000fffa0 <real_mode_fallback_entry>: fffa0: fa cli fffa1: 66 89 c5 mov %eax,%ebp fffa4: 66 31 c0 xor %eax,%eax fffa7: 0f 22 d8 mov %eax,%cr3 fffaa: 66 2e 0f 01 16 00 ff lgdtl %cs:-256 fffb1: 0f 20 c0 mov %cr0,%eax fffb4: 66 25 d1 ff fa 7f and $0x7ffaffd1,%eax fffba: 66 0d 01 00 00 60 or $0x60000001,%eax fffc0: 0f 22 c0 mov %eax,%cr0 fffc3: 66 89 e8 mov %ebp,%eax fffc6: 66 ea 00 fc ff ff 08 ljmpl $0x8,$0xfffffc00 fffcd: 00
How it works at runtime
- After reset the CPU starts to fetch opcodes virtually from address 0xF000:0xFFF0 (=0xFFFFFFF0 = CONFIG_STAGE_0_PA_RESET_VECTOR). It will fetch our branch command and continues at 0xF000:0xFFA0 (=0xFFFFFFA0 = CONFIG_STAGE_0_PA_REAL_SIDE)
- The real mode code loads the GDT at the real mode offset 0xFF00 relative to the CS register. This results into the address 0xF000:0xFF00 (=0xFFFFFF00 = CONFIG_STAGE_0_PA_GDT)
- The switch to the protected mode jumps to 32 bit offset 0xFFFFFC00, but now CS register's baseaddress is 0 (from GDT entry at offset 8), so we match CONFIG_STAGE_0_PA_FLAT_SIDE
- the flat mode code does
- activate the full Linear Flat Mode by loading the remaining segment registers
- activate CAR (CPU dependend)
- At the end, its time to jump into the stage0_1 code at label stage1_main(). From now on, there is no more need for any special physical layout
coreboot V3 in Stages and Phases
Each stage is a LAR entry. Stage0 and Stage1 execute in place (XIP). Starting with Stage2 the LAR entry is copied to memory and executed.
Stage 0
Cache_As_RAM (CAR) setup. See How_coreboot_starts_after_Reset and How it works at runtime above. With CAR setup we can use C code.
Stage 1
This is the XIP root stage which every subsequent stage returns to if they return.
Stage1 Phase 1
Early CPU (for AMD - HT, FID/VID), chipset (SMbus), and memory initialization.
Stage1 Phase 2
Disable CAR and start using memory.
Stage 2
Memory has been setup and coreboot is ready to enumerate the mainboard devices. The device tree (dts) is an integral part of this process. The dts contains the mainboard device locations and settings. Each phase walks the device tree with a particular purpose.
Stage2 Phase 1
Not currently used.
device_operations functions:
- .phase1_set_device_operations
Stage2 Phase 2
Used for dts and/or device fixups that need to happen prior to scanning for devices. Note that early device setup should happen in phase3 unless there is a really good reason to put it here.
device_operations functions:
- .phase2_fixup
Stage2 Phase 3
Scan the bus adding bridges and devices to the dts. Do chip and device specific initialization. Particularly important to chipset and mainboard devices (plug-in cards will have a standard resource init)
device_operations functions:
- .phase3_scan_bus
- .phase3_chip_setup_dev
- .phase3_enable
Stage2 Phase 4
Setup resources for all bridges and devices. ex. normal PCI device BAR allocation.
device_operations functions:
- .phase4_read_resource
- .phase4_set_resource
Stage2 Phase 5
Device enable. ex. PCI command register.
device_operations functions:
- .phase5_enable_resource
Stage2 Phase 6
Late initialization. ex. PCI ROM init.
device_operations functions:
- .phase6_init
When stage2 completes control is returned to stage1 and a payload is loaded. The payload should not return to coreboot.
