Hi and welcome to my page. I am a freelance needlecraft designer and textile artist lucky enough to be living and working in the beautiful surroundings of the Malvern Hills. Although much of my recent work is contemporary by nature and explores the use of painting and printing techniques I still find myself compelled to make the occasional precisely pieced foundation quilt (both large and miniature).
I am often asked what materials I use for my painted quilts, and because many are featured in my gallery, I thought I would answer this question here. Generally I start by printing (monotype or block printing) motifs or general texture using standard artists acrylics (adding textile medium for larger pieces) and then whilst the paint is still wet I 'flood' the background with diluted silk paints. The interaction of the two paints results in the wonderful watercolour like effects that many of my quilts exhibit - you just have to go 'with the flow'.

U-14 BNT to Hold International Training Camp in Croatia
22 Players Will Travel to Zagreb from May 15-25 for Matches against Croatia and Slovenia
CHICAGO (May 13, 2014) – Twenty-two players have been called up by Brian Johnson who will oversee the U.S. Under-14 Boys' National Team training camp that will take place in Zagreb, Croatia from May 15-25.
The camp will include matches against Croatia on May 19 and 21, Slovenia on May 22 and a to-be-determined opponent on May 24 and offer 20 of the 22 players their first taste of international travel with the U.S. Soccer Youth National Team program. It is the fourth camp of the current cycle, which began last September.
The two players who have previously traveled with the U.S. are Georgia United product Christopher Goslin and Barcelona pupil Ben Lederman, both of whom participated in February's Under-15 Boys' National Team training camp in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. Additionally, Lederman was previously included in a U-14 BNT overseas training camp that took place in Zagreb at this same time last year.
At the opposite end of the spectrum, this will be the first Youth National Team camp for Michael Edwards of Prince William Courage and only the second for Ayo Akinola of Toronto FC, Jean Julien Foe Nuphaus of San Jose Earthquakes and Bryan Perez of Los Angeles Futbol Academy. Edwards and Lederman are the only players on the current roster who did not participate in the U-14 BNT's last camp at the U.S. Soccer National Training Center in Carson, California this past March.
Eighteen players on the squad are currently registered with U.S. Soccer Development Academy teams, and the LA Galaxy lead the way among Academy clubs represented with three players: Zico Bailey, Jacob Muchnick and Tristan Weber.
The U.S. U-14 BNT serves as a development and identification program for potential future National Team players. The U-14s will next gather in August for a domestic training camp to continue learning the culture and style of play consistent throughout all U.S. National Teams.
Under-14 Boys' National Team International Training Camp Schedule:
Date Opponent Time (Local)
May 19 vs. Croatia 4 p.m.
May 21 vs. Croatia 12 p.m.
May 22 vs. Slovenia 4 p.m.

Pesticides used in farming are killing bumblebees and affecting their ability to forage, putting colonies at risk of failure, according to a new study.
An estimated one-third of all plant-based foods eaten by humans rely on bees for pollination, and bees and other pollinators have been estimated to be worth around $200 billion a year to the global economy. However, bee numbers have been plummeting in recent years, particularly in North America and Europe.
As bees provide around 80% of pollination by insects, it is vital to understand and deal with the causes of these declines.
Colony effects
Recent studies have suggested that pesticides may play a role in bee declines, as pesticide exposure can cause changes in bee behaviour and reduce the production of queens in colonies. However, the overall effects at the colony level are less well understood. Bees are also exposed to a number of different pesticides while foraging, but their combined effects have rarely been investigated.
In the new study, published in Nature, scientists exposed colonies of bumblebees to the pesticides neonicotinoid and pyrethroid over four weeks, at levels similar to those found in the field.
Most previous studies have focused on honey bees, which are smaller than bumblebees but have much larger colonies, sometimes numbering tens of thousands of individuals. In contrast, bumblebees form colonies of just a few dozen individuals, potentially making them more vulnerable to impacts at the colony level.
The findings showed that long-term exposure to the two pesticides impaired the foraging behaviour of the bees and increased worker mortality, leading to significant reductions in colony success. The researchers also found that being exposed to a combination of more than one pesticide increased the likelihood of a colony failing.
"Effects at the individual level can have a major knock-on effect at the colony level. That's the novelty of the study," said Richard Gill, the lead author of the study.
Important piece of the jigsaw
According to the researchers, the new findings emphasise the need for wider testing of pesticides. They endorsed the recommendations of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) that pesticides should be tested over longer periods and that new protocols should be developed to detect the cumulative effects of multiple chemicals on bees. There should also be separate assessments for different bee species.
Parasites and habitat destruction, leading to a reduction in food supplies, have also been blamed for the decline in bee populations. A number of different factors are likely to be involved, and more research is still needed.
"My guess is that the decline of bees is like a jigsaw – there are probably a lot of pieces to put into place. This is probably a very important piece of that jigsaw," said Gill.

Summer may be drawing to a close already, but that doesn't mean that there isn't more road racing to watch before the end of the year. The final Grand Tour of the year, the 75th Vuelta a Espana, kicks off this Saturday, August 28, in Seville, Spain. Even though we've already seen the chaos of the Giro d'Italia, where Ivan Basso capped his suspension comeback with a hard-fought victory, and the pageantry of the Tour de France, where Alberto Contador defended his crown (somewhat controversially) in a battle with Andy Schleck, this year's Vuelta promises more cycling excitement. And in great news for racing fans, this year's edition will again be covered, wire-to-wire, by Universal Sports (which is available over-the-air or on cable in many places, plus Vuelta coverage can be purchased for online access anywhere).
With last year's winner suspended, this year's race is wide open and the field is strong. Many riders will be racing the Vuelta in preparation for the upcoming World Championships in Australia, but there are still plenty of contenders vying for this prestigious Grand Tour crown (but sadly not anyone from the top overall team at the Tour de France, Team Radio Shack, who were left out of the field). Carlos Sastre will be riding his 3rd Grand Tour of the year, reports say that Andy Schleck will be there in support of his brother Frank (although it would be a nice consolation to see Andy win his first Grand Tour), Denis Menchov will be vying for his third Vuelta title, Nicolas Roche may surprise some folks with a strong performance, and Roman Kreuzinger and Vincenzo Nibali will lead a strong Liquigas contingent. And that's not even mentioning the possible sprint battles between American Tyler Farrar (who just moved up to 8th place in the world rankings) and the "Manx Missle" Mark Cavendish.
In terms of the course itself, there will be 21 stages covering 3,352 km. While the mountains may not be as famous as those of the Tour de France, or as fearsome as the Giro d'Italia, there will still be plenty of hard racing ahead for the Vuelta riders. If the race is still close near the very end look for fireworks on the next-to-last stage, which features a dramatic mountaintop finish on la Bola del Mundo (where the last 3km are on a rough concrete road with an average grade of 12.5 percent, so steep and narrow that team mechanics will be forced to ride on motorcycles with spare wheels and bikes like the Plan des Corones climb in the Giro!) And if all of that is not enough, the Vuelta leader's jersey will also be brand new this year… well, actually the new jersey looks kind of odd, but we'll give it the benefit of the doubt for now.
At any rate, we should be in for a good show, so will you be watching?

- 1 Introduction
- 2 Installation
- 3 Configuration
- 4 Starting AutoFS
- 5 Troubleshooting and tweaks
- 6 External links and resources
- 7 Alternatives to AutoFS
This document outlines the procedure needed to set up AutoFS, a package that provides support for automounting removable media or network shares when they are inserted or accessed.
- Install the AutoFS package:
# pacman -S autofs
- Load the autofs4 module as root:
# modprobe autofs4
AutoFS uses template files for configuration which are located in
/etc/autofs. The main template is called auto.master, which can point to one or more other templates for specific media types.
- Open the file
/etc/autofs/auto.masterwith your favorite editor, you will see something similar to this:
/var/autofs/misc /etc/autofs/auto.misc /var/autofs/net /etc/autofs/auto.net
The first value on each line determines the base directory under which media are mounted, the second value which template to use. The default base path is /var/autofs, but you can change this to any other location you prefer. For instance:
/media/misc /etc/autofs/auto.misc --timeout=5 --ghost /media/net /etc/autofs/auto.net --timeout=60 --ghost
The optional parameter
timeout sets the amount of seconds after which to unmount directories. The parameter
ghost determines that configured mounts will always be shown, instead of only when they are inserted and accessed. This can be useful since you won't have to remember or guess the names of removable media and network shares.
The target directories have to exist on your system and need to be empty, since their contents will be swapped with the dynamically loaded media. This procedure is however non-destructive, so if you accidentally automount into a live directory you can just change the location in auto.master and restart AutoFS to regain the original contents.
- Open the file
/etc/nsswitch.confand add an entry for automount:
automount: files
Removable media
- Open
/etc/autofs/auto.miscto add, remove or edit miscellaneous devices. For instance:
#kernel -ro ftp.kernel.org:/pub/linux #boot -fstype=ext2 :/dev/hda1 usbstick -fstype=auto,async,nodev,nosuid,umask=000 :/dev/sdb1 cdrom -fstype=iso9660,ro :/dev/cdrom #floppy -fstype=auto :/dev/fd0
If you have a CD/DVD combo-drive you can change the cdrom line with "-fstype=auto" to have the media type autodetected.
NFS Network mounts
AutoFS provides a new way of automatically discovering and mounting NFS-shares on remote servers (the AutoFS network template in
/etc/autofs/auto.net has been removed in autofs5). To enable automagic discovery and mounting of network shares from all accessible servers without any further configuration, you'll need to add the following to the
/etc/autofs/auto.master file:
/net -hosts --timeout=60
Each host name needs to be resolveable, e.g. the name an IP address in
/etc/hosts or via DNS and please make sure you have at least nfs-common installed and working.
For instance, if you have a remote server fileserver with an NFS share named /home/share, you can just access the share by typing:
# cd /net/fileserver/home/share
/etc/conf.d/autofs in order to start the AutoFS daemon.
-hosts option uses a similar mechanism as the showmount command to detect remote shares. You can see the exported shares by typing:
# showmount <servername> -e
Replacing <servername> with the name of your own server.
The Arch package does not provide any samba or cifs templates/scripts (23.07.2009), but the following should work for single shares:
add the following to
/media/[my_server] /etc/autofs/auto.[my_server]
and then create a file
[my_share] -fstype=cifs,[other_options] ://[my_server_ip]/[my_share]
FTP and SSH (with Fuse)
Remote FTP and SSH servers can be accessed seamlessly with AutoFS using Fuse, a virtual file system layer.
Remote FTP
First, install the curlftpfs package from the Community repository:
# pacman -S curlftpfs
Load the Fuse module:
# modprobe fuse
Add fuse to the modules array in
/etc/rc.conf to load it on each system boot.
Next, add a new entry for FTP servers in
/media/ftp /etc/autofs/auto.ftp --timeout=60 --ghost
Create the file
/etc/autofs/auto.ftp and add a server using the
ftp://myuser:mypassword@host:port/path format:
servername -fstype=curl,rw,allow_other,nodev,nonempty,noatime :ftp\://myuser\:mypassword\@remoteserver
Note: Your passwords are plainly visible for anyone that can run df (only for mounted servers) or view the file
If you want slightly more security you can create the file
~root/.netrc and add the passwords there.
Passwords are still plain text, but you can have mode 600, and df command will not show them (mounted or not).
This method is also less sensitive to special characters (that else must be escaped) in the passwords. The format is:
machine remoteserver login myuser password mypassword
The line in
/etc/autofs/auto.ftp looks like this without user and password:
servername -fstype=curl,allow_other :ftp\://remoteserver
Create the file
/sbin/mount.curl with this code:
#! /bin/sh curlftpfs $1 $2 -o $4,disable_eprt
Create the file
/sbin/umount.curl with this code:
#! /bin/sh fusermount -u $1
Set the permissions for both files:
# chmod 755 /sbin/mount.curl # chmod 755 /sbin/umount.curl
After a restart your new FTP server should be accessible through
Remote SSH
These are basic instructions to access a remote filesystem over SSH with AutoFS.
Install the sshfs package from the Extra repository:
# pacman -S sshfs
Load the Fuse module:
# modprobe fuse
Add fuse to the modules array in
/etc/rc.conf to load it on each system boot:
Install OpenSSH:
# pacman -S openssh
Generate an SSH keypair:
# ssh-keygen -t dsa
When the generator ask for a passphrase, just press enter. Using SSH keys without a passphrase is less secure, yet running AutoFS together with passphrases poses some additional difficulties which are not (yet) covered in this article.
Next, copy the public key to the remote SSH server:
# ssh-copy-id -i /home/username/.ssh/id_dsa.pub username@remotehost
See that you can login to the remote server without entering a password:
# sudo ssh -i /home/username/.ssh/id_dsa username@remotehost
Create a new entry for SSH servers in
/media/ssh /etc/autofs/auto.ssh --timeout=60 --ghost
Create the file
/etc/autofs/auto.ssh and add an SSH server:
servername -fstype=fuse,rw,allow_other,IdentityFile=/home/username/.ssh/id_dsa :sshfs\#username@host\:/
After a restart your SSH server should be accessible through
Starting AutoFS
- When you are done configuring, launch the AutoFS daemon as root:
# /etc/rc.d/autofs start
To start the daemon on boot you can add
autofs to the DAEMONS array in /etc/rc.conf, and
autofs4 to the modules array in the same file.
If you change the auto.master template while AutoFS is running, you will have to restart the daemon for the changes to become effective:
# /etc/rc.d/autofs restart
Devices are now automatically mounted when they are accessed, they will remain mounted as long as you access them.
Troubleshooting and tweaks
This section contains a few solutions for common issues with AutoFS.
Optional parameters
You can set parameters like
timeout systemwide for all AutoFS media in
- Open the
/etc/conf.d/autofsfile and edit the daemonoptions line:
- To enable logging (default is no logging at all), add
--verboseto the daemonoptions line in
/etc/conf.d/autofs, e.g.:
daemonoptions='--verbose --timeout=5'
After restarting the autofs daemon, verbose output is visible in /var/log/daemon.log.
Identify multiple devices
If you use multiple usb drives/sticks and want to easily tell them apart, you can use AutoFS to set up the mount points and udev to create distinct names for your usb drives. See Map Custom Device Entries with udev for instructions on setting up udev rules.
AutoFS permissions
If AutoFS isn't working for you, make sure that the permissions of the templates files are correct, otherwise AutoFS will not start. This may happen if you backed up your configuration files in a manner which did not preserve file modes. Here are what the modes should be on the configuration files:
- 0644 - /etc/autofs/auto.master
- 0644 - /etc/autofs/auto.media
- 0644 - /etc/autofs/auto.misc
- 0644 - /etc/conf.d/autofs
In general, scripts (like previous auto.net) should have executable (chown a+x filename) bits set and lists of mounts shouldn't.
If you are getting errors in /var/log/daemon.log similar to this, you have a permissions problem:
May 7 19:44:16 peterix automount[15218]: lookup(program): lookup for petr failed May 7 19:44:16 peterix automount[15218]: failed to mount /media/cifs/petr

A handful of old friends learn you can go home again, but you'll also have to clear out the damage the next morning in this bittersweet comedy-drama. Valinda (Connie Britton) is a woman in her late thirties who is helping her parents sell the house where she grew up. A few days before the house is to be cleared out, Valinda decides to hold an Eighties theme party for all her old high school friends. The next morning, the house is a staggering mess, while Valinda and her pals are simply staggering. As they battle their hangovers with the hair of the dog, Valinda persuades her friends to help her clean up the aftermath, and over the course of the day everyone find themselves looking back on who they were and where they are now. Valinda's husband Will (Tate Donovan) is a solid, responsible guy who happens to be a bit boring. Zoey (Ione Skye) likes to think of herself as happily married, but she knows her relationship with Jack (William Mapother) is in trouble, especially since he still carries a torch for Valinda. Katrina (Caitlin Keats) is a doctor who enjoys a successful professional life, but on a personal level she's suffered through a long series of failing relationships that she's not sure will ever end. Corey (David Herman) enjoyed a brief fame as a child actor that has left him emotionally stunted. Claire (Sarah Clarke) is a sweet and sensible Midwestern wife and mom, but she's never been able to shake her love for her high school sweetheart, who (to her chagrin) didn't show up for the bash. And Mickey (Eric Stoltz) has hardly changed a bit -- he was a world-class party animal in his teens, and still cheerfully revels in alcohol and drugs. The Lather Effect is the first fiction feature from writer and director Sarah Kelly, who previously made the documentary Full Tilt Boogie (about the production of the movie From Dusk Till Dawn). ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

NOAA: 11 dead whales suffered from malnutrition
SNIPE POINT, Florida (AP) — Necropsies performed on the 11 pilot whales found dead in the Florida Keys show that they were emaciated and suffering from malnutrition, federal officials said Monday.
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration stranding coordinator Blair Mase said the whales' empty bellies could be a result of disease or of being out of the deep, cooler waters that form their natural habitat.
"Really we don't know how long they've been in the area and we don't have any clues of why they got here in the first place," she said in a conference call with the media. It could be weeks to months before the results of the necropsies come in, she said, and "there is a possibility there could be more whales in the area."
A fisherman found the 11 whales lying near each other Sunday in Snipe Point, on an island chain near Key West. The young ones, especially, were emaciated, said Julia Zaias, a veterinarian with the Marine Animal Rescue Society.
Zaias spoke with The Associated Press from a center in Key West where researchers handled samples on Monday. Two of the female whales were pregnant.
The samples would help researchers discover any illnesses or anything else that could help them understand why the whales had beached.
"We'll be testing for viruses," Zaias said. "We're looking to see if they have any there, and then we'll be looking for all other possible reasons."
The whales are believed to be part of a pod of 51 whales originally found stranded on a remote Everglades beach last Tuesday. Six other whales were found dead Wednesday, and four more had to be euthanized. Another whale was found dead Thursday.
Twenty-nine whales remain unaccounted for.

Oak offers a powerful sound, excellent attack, and impressive looks.
Following in the footsteps of Yamaha's birch, maple, and beech drum series, Oak shows great promise as a drum shell material. A solid fundamental delivers a powerful sound while its character allows for a unique shell size lineup. Beautifully grained, this hardwood creates a drum with stunning looks.
Utilization of Yamaha's Air Seal system allows for the first time use of oak in a drum shell. As in the maple and birch series, this process delivers a shell that's perfectly round, with uniform thickness and excellent durability. The tom shells are 6-plies and deliver a solid fundamental and powerful sound.
This drum is fitted with low-mass oval-shaped lugs that are easily attached to the shell with a single bolt. Small footprints offer minimum lug to shell contact allowing the shell to deliver maximum tone. A special nylon insert prevents tension rods from becoming loose during play.
Long found on Yamaha high-end drum kits, the YESS (Yamaha Enhanced Sustain System) mounting system is on all Oak Custom toms and floor toms. This rod clamp system allows attachment of the drum to the tom holder without the need of a hole in the drum shell for the rod to pass through. The YESS clamp is attached to the shell at the nodal point with two bolts so as to allow the shell to vibrate freely without degrading the shell's dynamic range and sustain. The nodal point is the location on a shell with the least amount of vibration allowing for the mount to have minimal affect to the resonance of the shell.
The loudest drums you will ever play. Order today!

He has always been so good to go to the door when he needs to go out. Now he goes in the house whenever he pleases. He is walked at least 4 times a day and is feed twice a day at 5:30 am and 5 PM. So his feeding schedule is the same as always. I don't understand if this is a side affect of the prednisone or the SM. He will get up 2 to 3 times in the

FULTON, NY – The Great Bear Recreation Area near Fulton has been added to the series of self-guided walking tours along the Great Lakes Seaway Trail National Scenic Byway.
The Great Bear Walk, organized by the Great Lakes Seaway Trail Volkssport Association and Friends of Great Bear, is the first of the Great Lakes Seaway Trail Walks to be entirely "off-road" as it follows well-marked woodland trails.
Volkssporting in German is "the sport of the people." The Great Bear Walk joins a series of walks created by the Great Lakes Seaway Trail Volkssport Association along or near the 518-mile Great Lakes Seaway Trail National Scenic Byway which parallels Lake Erie, the Niagara River, Lake Ontario, and the St. Lawrence River in New York and Pennsylvania.
The walks are family-oriented and targeted to those who enjoy outdoor physical activity in which people of all ages and fitness levels can participate.
The Great Bear Springs area is comprised of more than 400 acres in the city of Fulton and town of Volney.
The name is based on a Native American legend in which a young brave was attacked by a large bear near the springs.
The property also contains the historic Oswego Canal guard lock number 2 and towpath that were a part of the original Oswego River Canal.
After completing the walk, participants have the option of purchasing a collectible pin depicting the bear for which the area is named.
"The area has more than eight miles of natural trails over rolling terrain, and is ideal for walking, cycling, cross-country skiing and snow shoeing," said Richard Drosse, coordinator of the Friends of Great Bear. "The Great Bear Walk was developed with the option of either a 3.1 mile or 6.2 mile route, and is sanctioned by the American Volkssport Association."
The walk is open to all, and there is no charge except for Volkssporters wishing to earn credit or for those interested in purchasing the pin.
In May, a group of 18 walkers from the Great Lakes Seaway Trail Volkssport Association and the Finger Lakes Volkssport Club met in Fulton to christen the Great Bear Walk.
"The Great Bear Walk makes an excellent addition to the series of Great Lakes Seaway Trail Walks, and we're confident it will serve as an important means to attract visitors to the region," Great Lakes Seaway Trail Volkssport Association President Daryl Giles said.
To get started, go to the Riverside Inn located at 930 S. First St. in Fulton and ask for the Great Bear Walk box at the front desk.
Walkers can then sign in and pick up the walk directions.
Oswego County also hosts a sanctioned Volkssport walk near Fort Ontario.
The walk is headquartered at the Quality Inn and Suites, 70 E. First St., Oswego, and commemorates the 1814 British Naval attack on Fort Ontario.
The walk can be done in 5 and 10-kilometer routes.

Next Episode of Petticoat Junction is
not planed. TV Show was canceled.
The small farming community of Hooterville provided the setting for this highly successful rural situation comedy. Kate Bradley was the widowed owner of the only transient housing in town, the Shady Rest Hotel. Helping her run the hotel were her three beautiful daughters, Billie Jo, Bobbie Jo, and Betty Jo. Also assisting was the girls' lazy Uncle Joe, who had assumed the title of manager. In addition to her involvement with the hotel, the romantic lives of her daughters, and her association with the townspeople, Kate was constantly at odds with Homer Bedlow, vice-president of the C.F. & W. Railroad. Homer was determined to close down the steam-driven branch of the railroad that ran through Hooterville, scrap its lone engine (the Cannonball), and put its two engineers (Charlie Pratt and Floyd Smoot) out of jobs.

If you are basing that on Steins;Gate, consider if you could have accurately judged the quality of it from Chaos;Head.
Each of the 3 series are also from different studios, so we can't even judge by that.

I'll edit this post later on when I catch up with the rest.
1. Gintama
nothing really interested me in this season but i'll wait until Robotics;Note comes out. I am looking forward to it.
i might watch some out of boredom
I want to be a mango forever.
Quoting my own list here I thought I should add that only Tonari has really grabbed my attention much at all so far. Shinsekai Yori is visually appealing but normally if Crunchyroll is late with their simulcast I will cheat and watch a raw or fansub early and then watch it in beautiful 1080p here to enjoy it properly and give it the views so they get paid but it hasn't got me yet so I am waiting for it to appear here on Tuesday and will watch it when I get a free moment. I know its just been one episode but usually my favorite shows grab me before the first time the opening theme plays, and definitely grab me before the first time the ending theme plays. It isn't logical, it is a feeling immediately of "I must know how this turns out!" I am watching the countdown before the episodes start when I love a show and I buy the light novels and manga when they end because I HAVE TO KNOW WHAT happens but... Even Tonari is not that strong. I am not really dying to find out what happens in any of these yet. Hopefully they'll grow on me...
Further thought I think Zetsuen no Tempest was better than Shinsekai Yori for that reason. There is a bit of a mystery there that I might care to find out about. Might...
Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai for me.
Hmm, for me:
1) Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun
2) Sukitte Iinayo
3) Code: Breaker
4) Zetsuen no Tempest
5) Btooom!
6) Little Busters
7) Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai!
8) Busou Shinki
10) Shinsekai Yori
Animanga hunter extraordinaire
from that list
everything is the same right now, fall 2012 is a slow start, not necessarily bad. All the plots are the same
boy meets girl
boy saves girl
boy kisses girl
protagonist is being targeted
protagonist goes wtf
The only exception is shin sekai, but this is a different genre entirely so far with only 2 episodes nothing important has been reveal except for the fact that children goes missing if they suck.
So ranking all the plots they are all the same, I'd say to love ru darkness is the lowest of them, cuz that type of anime gets boring and fast, especially when the protagonist is indecisive(some might argue differently but where is he now with his harem?).
so i'd say everything is the same except darkness is the below the rest.
code breaker I read a few chapters and not interested, again it is boy xxxx girl
His Holiness Optimus Maximus Decimus Meridius Colossus Nemesis Nexus Genesis
I'm not going to bother ranking episodes until I've seen more of this season.
I thought the First episode of Jojo's was pretty good start. Of everything this season that was the show that had me on pins and needles. It was either going to be fantastic or horrible depending on how well they could capture the feel of the manga.
It's a good start so far, looking forward to seeing more
avoiding doing any work today
1.Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun
2. Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai!
3. K (shounen ai-ish xD)
4. Sukitte Ii na yo. (seems like it'll be a nice romance)
5. Psycho-Pass (I thought it was great, very exciting imo. Not for the faint of heart. There won't be any moe in it, as an experiment, to see if it'll do good among todays moe animes)
6. Robotics;Notes (Slow, but I enjoyed it. The end made it really interesting. I'm looking forward to the next ep a lot)
6. Little Busters!
7. Jormungand: Perfect Order (slow but better than the ones under here)
8. Ixion Saga DT
9. Magi (Anime Aladdin. Not ripping on Disney. Aladdin is not Disney's story)
10. Shinsekai Yori (the first ep was interesting)
11. Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo
12. Girls und Panzer
13. Aikatsu! (Idols. Vocaloid fans might like it. Tokyo Mew Mew fans will definitly like it, it's very sugary cute. I lol'd a lot, but becaus it was weird watching the idols stuff :P)
Haven't watched yet:
Zetsuen no Tempest
Kamisama Hajimemashita
Waiting for Robotics;Notes.
If you haven't watched Chaos;Head yet, you should.
It's also an alternative universe to Steins;Gate, but that doesn't mean it was the best of the season it aired in.
It's a good one, but it's not Steins;Gate good.
I'm expecting Robotics;Notes to be Chaos;Head good.
1. Ixion Saga DT
2. Zetsuen no Tempest
3. Shinsekai Yori
4. Magi
5. JoJos's Big Adventure
Didn't Like (I don''t know If I'll keep watching.
Code Breaker
Want to see but haven't yet
Little Busters
Psycho Pass

Look on the back of a sports betting ticket from a Las Vegas casino and you'll notice an expiration date, usually 60-120 days after the event. But it's an unwritten rule that a sportsbook will always cash a winning ticket, even after the expiration date. To do otherwise is simply not good for customer relations.
Michael Shackleford, a professional gaming consultant, the author of a book on gambling strategy and an adjunct professor at Nevada Las Vegas, wagered $1,000 on Oklahoma State to beat Texas Tech last Sept. 22. It was a moneyline wager, meaning the Cowboys, who were slight underdogs, had to win the game outright, at odds of plus-190.
Oklahoma State won, 49-45, and the winning ticket paid $2,900 (the original $1,000, plus $1,900 in profit).
Shackleford finally made it to the Stratosphere on Jan. 26 to collect his winnings. That was 126 days after the event, 66 days after expiration date on the back of the ticket. The Stratosphere told him to take a hike, and now Shackleford has taken his fight to the Gaming Control Board.
"I plan to fight this until the day I die," Shackleford said.
Although the case remains unresolved, it was revealed in an April 2 hearing that the Stratosphere's redemption period for sports tickets is actually 120 days, not 60 days. The casino continued to issue tickets with the erroneous 60-day deadline printed on them because "the property has several rolls of ticket stock material on hand, [and] it was not cost effective to reprint new wagering tickets," according to the board.
Gamblers in the city have taken note. Jeff Haney of the Las Vegas Sun writes: "But regardless of the outcome, the Stratosphere bosses should be ashamed of their actions. This episode gives another black eye to Nevada's legal sports betting scene, which in terms of black eyes lately seems to resemble Floyd Patterson at the end of his second fight with Muhammad Ali."

Stratosphere Hits a New Low

Shit. I have an 80 day winner from Planet Hollywood that should be for 600 bux. Back of the ticket also says 60 days. If sportsbook managers are being hardasses about the deadline, I might be fooked.
- insomniac said...
So just to support what you were saying about customer service at other sportsbooks- I went to the PH sportsbook with my expired ticket. The first time I went, they wouldn't cash the ticket. I went a second time and talked to a manager and he was happy to cash the $600 winner.

Nice article in the Guardian UK on Andy Murray's charm offensive (as opposed to offensive charm).
An excerpt:
From being pretty well known, Murray can probably now be classified as famous. 'Yes, this year, especially towards the end of the year, I've been recognised a lot more,' he says. 'But I don't really go out that much. I spend a lot of time walking the dog on the common. Pretty dull, actually.' He makes no attempt to hide his identity on these outings. 'I don't really wear hats. I just wear normal clothes and try to mix in. People do stop me for photos or an autograph, and everyone's been very supportive.'
There is a lot of fan mail now, too, he says. Mostly from girls? 'Careful,' Higgins interjects, which may account for what sounds suspiciously like a canny reply. 'I do get a lot from older people - 65 to 70,' he says, giving what is surely a fact too far. 'It's a mixture, but it's surprising that I get so many from grandparents being very supportive of everything I've done over the past few years.'
The unsupportive letters, which multiplied when he made an ill-judged joke about supporting 'anyone but England' during the 2006 World Cup, have largely dried up. 'It's started to get better the last year or so. Around the time, the reaction wasn't abusive - it wasn't swearing or whatever - it just wasn't particularly nice. People don't mention it to me so much, but my fitness trainer and others around me have a lot of friends who think that I don't like English people, which is obviously not true.' Exhibit one in this respect is his English girlfriend Kim Sears, although he stops short of mentioning her by name.
Criticism of his on-court behaviour is also on the wane. He explains the process by which he has curbed his anger, while still managing to become very visibly pumped-up: 'I always said that I wanted to get better at around this time in my career and that when I did work on it, it would definitely improve. The physical side of things is what has made such a huge difference. I find playing a tennis match much easier than I did before because the work off the court is much harder. The angry moments come out in the gym and on the running track now rather than when I'm playing. It's made a big difference, especially in the long matches in the grand slams.'
Good for Andy. I'm rooting for the kid in 2009.

Gas Leak Situation Over at Quincy Commons Shopping Center
The Quincy Commons Shopping Center has received the "all clear" for people to return to the area after an early morning gas leak forced evacuation of the area.
The Quincy Police Department has left the area and as of this writing only a couple of Quincy Fire Department trucks were on the scene to close out the operation. According the a news release from the Quincy Police Department the situation was handled much quicker than they had anticipated.

I've seen a cool visualization of the Linux boot sequence today. To those who haven't seen it yet, here's the image:
According to Perry Hung, the creator:
This is a visualization I made for funsies of a linux boot sequence where each function is a node and each edge represents a function call, direct branch, or indirect branch. Nodes are laid out using an unweighted force-directed layout algorithm, where each node is simulated as if it were electrically repulsive and had springs between nodes.
The little "lobe" on the left is made up the interrupt processing routines (irq vectors, irq_svc, etc). The tail at the top is the bootloader. The main thing in the middle is the linux boot sequence.
The entire graph represents a call chain from the bootloader up until it jumps into userspace to a shell prompt...
A while ago, I received an email from someone named Jason. He attached an image file that he described as "a visualization of the Windows boot sequence". So, I thought this might be a direct response to the "Linux boot sequence visualization" from a guy who obviously loves Windows. Until I saw the attachment from his email:
He didn't leave further description so I guess it is up to us to interpret his work of art :-)

Mary CassattBiography
Cassatt was the only American artist to be included in the Impressionist's exhibitions in Paris. She participated in the Impressionist exhibitions of 1879-81 and 1886. Financially, Cassatt was a great asset to the Impressionists by providing them with direct financial support and in her critical role as an art advisor to private collectors and public museums in the United States. It is largely thanks to her that so many marvellous Impressionist paintings are now in American museums.
Mary Cassatt died on 14 June, 1926, at the age of 82.

For more than 70 hours, billion-dollar fraudster Scott Rothstein talked and talked, answering questions for the first time under oath. He mapped out how he constructed the largest financial swindle in South Florida history, leveled damaging accusations at people he said broke the law with him and hinted at how his own crimes went well beyond stealing money.
So what was revealed about Rothstein, his $1.4-billion fraud and what's to come in the sensational case that continues making headlines? Here's a rundown of the more than 2,500 pages of transcripts released so far from the imprisoned con man's recent closed-door testimony in a Miami federal courtroom:
Q: What has Rothstein said?
A: In a nutshell, that he had a lot of help pulling off his Ponzi scheme. There were those who actively participated and others who knew he was breaking the law and did nothing to stop him. Likewise, he claimed banks where the proceeds of his fraud flowed — TD Bank and Gibraltar Private Bank & Trust Co. — did nothing to stop him, even when his actions went well beyond the suspicious. Attorneys for his former law partners at Rothstein Rosenfeldt Adler and the banks say Rothstein is lying, pulling off another scam to get his prison sentence reduced.
Q: What remains a mystery as far as Rothstein goes?
A: A lot. Rothstein admitted to committing a panoply of crimes outside his Ponzi scheme — money laundering, extortion, bribing public officials, bribing law enforcement, paying law enforcement officers to commit illegal acts, interfering with the judiciary and misreporting his taxes.
He wasn't allowed to elaborate, though. He was stopped by a federal prosecutor sitting in on the deposition sessions who cited "governmental investigatory privilege." Legal experts said that shutting down such lines of questioning indicates that federal authorities are still examining Rothstein's claims.
Q: Where is Rothstein? Has anything been done to change his physical appearance?
A: His whereabouts in the federal prison system remain a secret. He said in his deposition that he has limited access to the Internet and has been poring over thousands upon thousands of documents related to his crimes.
He's also lost about 35 pounds from exercise, has his hair cut short and sports a goatee. Rothstein, 49, said nothing else has been done to change his appearance.
Q: How could Rothstein's cooperation affect the 50-year prison sentence he is now serving?
A: Federal prosecutors filed notice in June that they intend to ask U.S. District Judge James I. Cohn to shorten Rothstein's prison term because of his cooperation. As long as prosecutors believe Rothstein has been telling the truth and not falsely implicating others, they are expected to ask for a resentencing hearing and recommend a reduced prison term.
It's not a sure thing that Cohn will heed prosecutors' recommendations. The U.S. Attorney's Office originally had asked Rothstein be sentenced to 40 years behind bars, but the judge tacked 10 years onto that.
Q: Rothstein was arrested more than two years ago — on Dec. 1, 2009 — so how does what he say matter now?
A: What should be of concern to the public is Rothstein's claim that as he built his empire of lies, he subverted institutions central to civic life — the political system, law enforcement, the legal profession, the judiciary and areas of the banking system. In his testimony, Rothstein painted a damning portrait of Broward County as a place where he engineered his meteoric rise by showering cash and gifts on people to get them to do his bidding or look the other way.
Q: Was Rothstein really involved with organized crime?
A. Yes, according to his testimony before more than 30 attorneys involved in bankruptcy and civil litigation resulting from his fraud. Rothstein admitted handling "a lot of money" for the mob. After his Ponzi scheme unraveled, he worked as an informant to bring down Roberto Settineri, an alleged Mafioso who authorities say acted as a conduit between the violent Santa Maria di Gesu crime family in Sicily and the Gambino crime family in New York.
When it publicly came to light that he helped the FBI nab Settineri, Rothstein became a phantom — hidden away in a witness protection program somewhere in the federal prison system.
Q: Why haven't his alleged co-conspirators been rounded up?
A: Rothstein's Ponzi scheme imploded in dramatic fashion, rather than gradually disintegrating like many major financial frauds. Federal authorities sometimes spend years deconstructing such schemes before making any arrests. In Rothstein's case, he was in handcuffs within a month — largely because he admitted to orchestrating the fraud.
Federal prosecutors have the monumental task of going through hundreds of thousands of pages of documents, while keeping an eye on protecting the attorney-client relationships in legitimate cases handled by Rothstein's former law firm.
So far, seven players connected with Rothstein's fraud — primarily office staff — have been charged, with five taking plea deals and a sixth, his former administrative assistant Marybeth Feiss, set to plead guilty later this month. Rothstein's uncle, Bill Boockvor, is awaiting trial on allegations he helped his nephew dupe investors.
Speculation about an impending multi-defendant indictment has been making the rounds in South Florida's legal community for months. Sources say it's not a question of whether more people will be charged, but how many and when.
Q: Is Rothstein still married?
A: Yes, according to his wife's attorney.
Kim Rothstein, his spouse of nearly four years, has been able to visit him in custody periodically and talk to him by phone, said her attorney, Scott Saidel.
Q: Is Rothstein done talking?
A: No. Even after his 10 days of testimony, which wrapped up on Dec. 23, more attorneys are seeking to question Rothstein about civil and bankruptcy litigation resulting from the collapse of his law firm. Cohn has already talked about holding a sequel to what was dubbed "The Big Deposition."
In addition, if any of his alleged co-conspirators decide to go to trial, prosecutors could call Rothstein to the witness stand.
Transcripts of Rothstein's final two days of testimony are scheduled to be released by Tuesday.

Dad's Army funnyman Clive Dunn has passed away after a short illness, aged 92.
Known as Lance Corporal "Don't Panic" Jones, the star's portrayal of the nervous butcher became one of the most loved characters of the sitcom, inducing side-splitting laughs with the lines "permission to speak, Captain Mainwaring", and "they don't like it up 'em".
As well as starring in children's comedy Grandad and My Old Man, the star went on to record the popular single Grandad, which sold 90,000 copies in one day.
Talented in the field of arts, Clive starred in an English National Opera production of Die Fledermaus. He was also an accomplished artist, with many of his works appearing in a biography.

Oh yes I've been productive this week. We picked two gallons of wild blueberries at Tangle Lakes in July and I promised Grace we'd make jam. It is best with half wild, half domestic berries to get the most of both varieties. There's just nothing prettier than seeing jars of jam lined up and there's nothing better than tasting the results of your labors.
Blueberry Jam:
4-1/2 cups prepared fruit (buy about 4 pt. fully ripe blueberries)
2 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
7 cups sugar, measured into separate bowl
1/2 tsp. butter or margarine
2 pouches Certo Fruit Pectin
Crush blueberries and measure exactly 4-1/2 cups prepared blueberries into 6- or 8-qt. saucepan. Stir in lemon juice.
Stir sugar into prepared blueberries in saucepan. Add butter to reduce foaming. Bring to full rolling boil (a boil that doesn't stop bubbling when stirred) on high heat, stirring constantly. Stir in pectin. Return to full rolling boil and boil exactly 1 min., stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Skim off any foam with metal spoon.
Ladle jam immediately into prepared jars, filling to within 1/8 inch of tops. Wipe jar rims and threads. Cover with two-piece lids. Screw bands tightly. Invert jars on top of a towel for five minutes then tip right side up once again. This causes the jam to seal properly.

CHAPEL HILL, N.C.. (October 19, 2008)- Competing against some of the top players and teams in the nation, the ETSU men's tennis team was eliminated from further play at the USTA/ITA Regional Championships late Saturday night, in Chapel Hill, N.C.
Unfortunately for the Bucs, all three ETSU players and teams were unable to advance against an elite field that featured five teams that were ranked in the final 2008 ITA rankings.
Senior Alex Ahlgren (Tyro, Sweden) dropped his opening-day match to Gardner-Webb's Evgency Slearev. After winning the first set 5-7, the senior captain was unable to maintain his momentum dropping the final two sets 6-2, 6-5.
Also in action for the Bucs were newcomer Charles Bottoni (Bois Guillaume, France). The ETSU freshman dropped his match to Clay Donato of North Carolina 6-1, 6-3.
Finally in doubles action, the ETSU tandem of Ahlgren and fellow senior Enrique Olivares (Puerto Ordaz, Venezuela), dropped their quarterfinal match to the Duke team of Chris Price and Torestein Wietoska, 9-7.
ETSU looks to get back on track next weekend, as the Bucs travel to UNC Wilmington.

Owner of chimpanzee that mauled Stamford woman, dies
Stamford: Sandra Herold, whose pet Travis mauled friend, suffered a ruptured artery
STAMFORD -- Sandra "Sandy" Herold, the owner of Travis, the chimpanzee that mauled and nearly killed Charla Nash, died Monday night, her attorney said.
Fairfield attorney Robert Golger said Herold, 72, died unexpectedly at her Rockrimmon Road home in North Stamford when an artery ruptured. Golger said the near-death of her friend Nash in February 2009, the resulting lawsuit and the death of her husband, Jerome, in 2004 all played a part in Herold's death.
"Ms. Herold had suffered a series of heart-breaking losses over the last several years, beginning with the death of her only child, then her husband, then her beloved chimp Travis, as well as the tragic maiming of friend and employee Charla Nash," Golger said in a statement to The Advocate. "Sandy was a tremendously warm hearted individual who was always giving and anyone who knew her could vouch for her generosity."
When first contacted about her sister-in-law's death, Stamford resident Ann Clumax said she was too upset to speak
"I think Travis had a lot to do with it. She was very depressed about losing everything she and Jerry worked so hard for. I just cannot talk about it anymore. I am too upset," said Clumax, who said she was very friendly with Herold.
Clumax later said that in the past few years, Herold did not talk to many people about what was going on in her life.
"She was a person who kept everything to herself. I'm shocked. She was very depressed. After her husband died, she had nobody. And after Travis, that put her in a very bad state," Clumax said.
Another family friend, Nadine Tassiello, of Norwalk, burst into sobs, saying she did not know Herold died.
Tassiello, who knew Herold for 20 years, agreed that Herold was very depressed after the attack.
"It affected her every which way. It was traumatic because after the loss of her daughter and Jerry, her husband, and Travis was all she had left. And then she had to stab him to help Charla. She was tough on the outside, but on the inside, she was just like anyone else," Tassiello said.
When Travis on Feb. 16, 2009, attacked Nash, who was trying to coax the 200-pound animal back inside, Herold grabbed a butcher knife from her home. After Travis went berserk, she stabbed him several times with the knife.
Herold, who is being sued for $50 million by Nash's estate, owned Travis for 14 years. Herold and her husband owned Desire Me Towing & Auto Body, Multi-Phase Fabrication & Welding Inc and J&S Associates.
At first, Herold said she had given Travis Xanax, a drug used to treat anxiety disorders, before the attack, but then denied doing so. Toxicology tests showed that Travis had the drug in his blood.
Nash's Bridgeport attorney Matthew Newman said a statement would be forthcoming from the family about Herold's death.
Nash's attorneys have already obtained an attachment, which prohibits anyone from conveying, selling or mortgaging $10 million worth Herold's property before a final determination of Herold's liability in the attack is made.
Charla Nash's brother Michael did not return a call for comment.
Golger said this past year was particularly difficult for Herold.
She hated living alone in a house where she faced constant reminders of the vibrant and happy life she once led with her family and friends, he said.
The stress of defending the lawsuit and weighed heavily on Herold.
"In the end, her heart, which had been broken so many times before, could take no more," Golger said.

Wednesday July 20, 2011
Producer Denise Di Novi has recently announced that Harry Potter golden girl Emma Watson will be starring in an adaptation of Beauty and the Beast.
Emma, who has also been working on films The Perks of Being a Wallflower and My Week With Marilyn, will star as Belle in her newest project.
Pan's Labrynth and Hellboy director Guillermo del Toro will direct.
Like his past work, this film will probably have a dark and twisted feel to it.
This style seems to suit Emma's vision as a role model:
"I feel like young girls are told they have to be this kind of princess and be all this sweet stuff.
"It's all bull***t. I identify with more of being a warrior princess, so if I had to be a princess, I'd have to kick some ass first.
"That would have a lot of people terrified."
The 21-year-old also recently revealed to Vogue magazine that she feels her character in Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, has become a part of her.
Now that she is working on other projects she admitted: "I'm literally rediscovering what it means to be an actress."

Everything you ever wanted to know (about USB) and were afraid to ask.
USB (Universal Serial Bus) designed to connect peripherals such as mice, keyboards, scanners, digital cameras, printers, hard disks, and networking components to PC. It has become the standard connection method for wide variety of devices.
Universal Serial Bus (USB) is a specification to establish communication between devices and a host controller (usually personal computer). Nowdays USB has replaced a variety of earlier PC interfaces (such as RS-232 serial or parallel port). Due to the ability to supply power to the preipheral devices USB is often used as a power charger for portable devices.
An USB system architecture consists of a host controller, a USB ports, and multiple connected devices. Additional USB hubs may be included allowing branching into a tree structure with up to five tier levels. USB can connect computer peripherals such as mice, keyboards, digital cameras, PDA, mobile phones, printers, personal media players, flash drives, GPS, Network Adapters, and external hard drives. For many of those devices, USB has become the standard connection method.
USB interface aimed to remove the need for adding expansion cards into the computer's PCI or PCI-Express bus, and improve plug-and-play capabilities by allowing devices to be hot swapped or added to the system without rebooting the computer.
The USB Pinout:
Pin Name Cable color Description
1 VCC Red +5 VDC
2 D- White Data -
3 D+ Green Data +
4 GND Black Ground
USB connectors
There are several types of USB connectors. The connector mounted on the host or device is called the receptacle, and the connector attached to the cable is called the plug. The original USB specification detailed Standard-A and Standard-B plugs and receptacles. Nowdays there are 7 USB connectors known: Standard-A, Standard-B, Mini-A, Mini-B , Micro-A, Micro-AB, Micro-B. Mini-USB pinout and Micro-USB pinout are slightly different: standard USB uses 4 pins while Mini-USB and Micro-USB uses 5 pins in connector. The additional pin is used as an attached device presence indicator.
USB pinout signals
USB is a serial bus. It uses 4 shielded wires: two for power (+5v & GND) and two for differential data signals (labelled as D+ and D- in pinout). NRZI (Non Return to Zero Invert) encoding scheme used to send data with a sync field to synchronise the host and receiver clocks. In USB data cable Data+ and Data- signals are transmitted on a twisted pair. No termination needed. Half-duplex differential signaling helps to combat the effects of electromagnetic noise on longer lines. Contrary to popular belief, D+ and D- operate together; they are not separate simplex connections. USB 2.0 provides for a maximum cable length of 5 meters for devices running at Hi Speed.
USB transfer modes
Univeral serial bus supports Control, Interrupt, Bulk and Isochronous transfer modes.
USB interfaces: USB 1.0, USB 2.0, USB 3.0.
There are three USB versions known nowdays:
released in 1996.
Specifies data rates of 1.5 Mbit/s (Low-Bandwidth, is mostly used for Human Input Devices (HID) such as keyboards, mouses, joysticks and often the buttons on higher speed devices such as printers or scanners) and 12 Mbit/s (Full-Bandwidth).
nowadays is still used used by some devices that don't need faster data transfer rates.
released in 2000
in addition to USB 1.0 adds signaling rate of 480 Mbit/s (Hi-Speed)
compatible with USB 1.0, but some hardware designed for USB 2.0 may not work with USB 1.0 host controllers.
released in 2008
added transmission rates up to 5 Gbit/s (SuperSpeed)
USB 1.0 and USB 2.0 shares same connector pinout, USB 3.0 pinout features new connectors.
A USB device must indicate its speed by pulling either the D+ or D- line high to 3.3 volts. These pull up resistors at the device end will also be used by the host or hub to detect the presence of a device connected to its port. Without a pull up resistor, USB assumes there is nothing connected to the bus.
In order to help user to identify maximum speed of device, a USB device often specifies its speed on its cover with one of the USB special marketing logos.
When the new device first plugs in, the host enumerates it and loads the device driver necessary to run it. The loading of the appropriate driver is done using a PID/VID (Product ID/Vendor ID) combination supplied by attached hardware. The USB host controllers has their own specifications: UHCI (Universal Host Controller Interface), OHCI (Open Host Controller Interface) with USB 1.1, EHCI (Enhanced Host Controller Interface) is used with USB 2.0.
USB powered devices
The USB connector provides a single 5 volt wire from which connected USB devices may power themselves. A given segment of the bus is specified to deliver up to 500 mA. This is often enough to power several devices, although this budget must be shared among all devices downstream of an unpowered hub. A bus-powered device may use as much of that power as allowed by the port it is plugged into.
Bus-powered hubs can continue to distribute the bus provided power to connected devices but the USB specification only allows for a single level of bus-powered devices from a bus-powered hub. This disallows connection of a bus-powered hub to another bus-powered hub. Many hubs include external power supplies which will power devices connected through them without taking power from the bus. Devices that need more than 500 mA or higher than 5 volts must provide their own power.
When USB devices (including hubs) are first connected they are interrogated by the host controller, which enquires of each their maximum power requirements. However, seems that any load connected to USB port may be treated by operating system as device. The host operating system typically keeps track of the power requirements of the USB network and may warn the computer's operator when a given segment requires more power than is available and may shut down devices in order to keep power consumption within the available resource.
USB power usage:
Bus-powered hubs: Draw Max 100 mA at power up and 500 mA normally.
Self-powered hubs: Draw Max 100 mA, must supply 500 mA to each port.
Low power, bus-powered functions: Draw Max 100 mA.
High power, bus-powered functions: Self-powered hubs: Draw Max 100 mA, must supply 500 mA to each port.
Self-powered functions: Draw Max 100 mA.
Suspended device: Max 0.5 mA
Dedicated charger mode:
A simple USB charger should incorporate 200 Ohm resistor between D+ and D- wires (sometimes shortcircuit D+ and D- together is enough). The device will then not attempt to transmit or receive data, but can draw up to 1.8A, if the supply can provide it.
USB voltage:
Supplied voltage by a host or a powered hub ports is between 4.75 V and 5.25 V. Maximum voltage drop for bus-powered hubs is 0.35 V from its host or hub to the hubs output port. All hubs and functions must be able to send configuration data at 4.4 V, but only low-power functions need to be working at this voltage. Normal operational voltage for functions is minimum 4.75 V.
USB cable shielding:
Shield should only be connected to Ground at the host. No device should connect Shield to Ground.
USB cable wires:
Data: 28 AWG twisted
Power: 28 AWG - 20 AWG non-twisted
Data: 28 AWG non-twisted
Power: 28 AWG - 20 AWG non-twisted
Power Gauge Max length
28 0.81 m
26 1.31 m
24 2.08 m
22 3.33 m
20 5.00 m
Here is the non-simplified version
I'm in the process of hacking some USB items for an interesting project
If it works (out), I'll report further.

Eric smothers most of his food in hot sauce. Since he loves it so much I decided to make it for him for x-mas. While I was picking out hot peppers at the store, I couldn't decide if I should make red or green hot sauce. I indecisively ended up making one of each. Turned out to be pretty festive...
The internet was not at all clear about the best way to make hot sauce. You can use any hot pepper you come across and then you can ferment the peppers, half ferment/ half cook the peppers, or just cook the peppers in order to access their juices. You can also add other ingredients like onions.
Hey readers, do you have a favorite hot sauce recipe or a favorite hot pepper to grow in the garden specifically for its stellar hot sauce flavor?
3/4 lb. hot peppers, stems removed
- 3/4 lb. red frezno for my 1st batch
- 1/2 lb. jalapeño + 1/4 lb. serrano for my 2nd batch
1 1/2 t. salt
1/4 c. white vinegar
Use a food processor to mince up the hot peppers, garlic, and salt. Put the mixture in a covered glass jar for a week. Stir every few days. Transfer to a small saucepan and add the vinegar. Cook over medium-low heat for about 5 minutes. Put it through a food processor again. Strain the liquid into a bottle.


text: CAENACAENA a town of Sicily mentioned only in the Itinerary of Antoninus, which writes the name Cena, and places it on the SW. coast of the island, 18 miles W. of Agrigentum. (Itin. Ant. p. 88.) Though the name is not found in any earlier author, numismatists are generally agreed to assign to it the coins with the inscription KAINON, one of which is represented below. These coins, which are found in considerable numbers in Sicily, were previously ascribed to the island of CAESNE, mentioned by Pliny (3.8. s. 14) among the smaller islands between Sicily and Africa, and generally identified with the little islet now called Cani, off the Gulf of Hippo on the coast of Africa. But we have no reason to suppose that this barren rock ever was even inhabited, much less that it contained a city capable of striking coins: and the Greek legend of those in question, as well as their workmanship,

Secretary Clinton lauds headway in battle against AIDS
WASHINGTON – Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton says it's possible to virtually eliminate HIV-infected births and the U.S. is donating $80 million in new funding to help poor countries reach that goal.
Treating HIV-infected women so that they protect their babies is a key part of the Obama administration's goal of an AIDS-free generation.
Clinton told the International AIDS Conference Monday that the new money will help get those life-saving drugs to women who now slip through the cracks.
Clinton also says the U.S. is investing millions more to study what works best to protect the highest-risk population in hard hit countries-- gay and bisexual men, sex workers and injecting drug users.
Her message: "If we're going to beat AIDS, we can't afford to avoid sensitive conversations."
Earlier, Dr. Anthony Fauci, the leading U.S. AIDS researcher, told the conference that science has provided the tools needed to slash new infections even without a vaccine -- if countries will put them in place.
Fauci said it won't be easy or happen overnight. In his words, "no promises, no dates but we know it can happen."
Fauci said "we want to get to the end of AIDS" but that "a lot of people, a lot of countries, a lot of regions have a lot to do."
Topping that list of tools is better treatment of people who already have HIV, so they're less likely to spread the virus. But Fauci also called male circumcision a "stunningly successful" step, pointing to part of Uganda that's stressing that step.
Researchers, doctors and patients attending the conference are urging the world's governments not to cut back on the fight against the epidemic when it is at a turning point.
There is no cure or vaccine yet, but scientists say they have the tools to finally stem the spread of this intractable virus -- largely by using treatment not just to save patients but to make them less infectious, too.
"Future generations are counting on our courage to think big, be bold and seize the opportunity before us," said Dr. Diane Havlir of the University of California, San Francisco, a co-chair of the International AIDS Conference.
"We must resolve together never to go backwards," Dr. Elly Katabira, president of the International AIDS Society, told the conference's opening session late Sunday.
More than 20,000 scientists, people living with HIV and policy-makers are meeting this week to figure out how to turn some scientific advances into practical protections, valuable additions to those tried-and-true condoms.
Studies show that treating people with HIV early, before they're sick, not only is life-saving for them but lowers their chances of spreading the virus through sex.
On another front, healthy people can take the daily AIDS medicine Truvada to lower their risk of infection from a sexual partner. Hard-hit countries are grappling with how to try that protection in their highest-risk populations.
Other goals include getting more HIV-infected pregnant women treated to protect their babies, and getting more men circumcised in developing countries to protect them from heterosexual infection.
But money is a big challenge during a global recession -- and for countries weary of the fight against a disease with an ever-growing number of people who need care. Today, there are 34.2 million people living with HIV, and while infections are dropping slowly, still 2.5 million are infected every year.
The world spent $16.8 billion fighting AIDS in poor countries, the hardest-hit, last year. But that's still $7 billion a year shy of the amount needed to nearly double the 8 million people getting life-saving drugs by the world's goal of 2015.
"This gap is killing people," UNAIDS chief Michel Sidibe told the conference. "My friends, the end of AIDS is not free. It is not too expensive. It is priceless."

My brothers and sisters: America welcomes your comments. When making comments, I implore you to heed the principle message of our recent editorial and converse with one another in a spirit of fraternal charity and humility. I ask this not simply in the spirit of the editorial, but in the spirit of the Gospel that inspired it. We can disagree, of course, but a discourse based on Gospel values will avoid:
1. Casting aspersions on the motives of our brothers and sisters.
2. Scapegoating.
3. Engaging in hyperbole or exaggeration.
4. Anonymity.
5. Hopelessness.
Christians must never be afraid to speak the truth. But we must always remember that, ultimately, truth is a person and his name is Jesus Christ; He is "the way and the truth and the life." No statement, therefore, however factually accurate it may be, can ultimately be called truthful if it is not spoken in charity.
Matt Malone, S.J.
Comment tails on articles and blogs often, it seems, contain ad hominem attacks on both public figures and other commenters. I imagine it's usually got something to do with insecurity, repressed anger, frustration, and a desire to cloak opinion as fact. It's common and, apparently, natural, but it's not nice, and especially in the context of a religious publication, we'd all - editors, authors, bloggers, and commenters - do well both to make a clear separation between fact and opinion and to avoid behaving disrespectfully to one another.
Father, I presume that you meant ''principal message''?
I know, I know, critical biblical scholars point out that the historical Jesus probably did not direct invective toward the Pharisees of his day, because the Pharisees in his day was probably not his opponents. So critical biblical scholars claim that the gospel writers put the invective against the Pharisees on the lips of the character named Jesus because in the time of the gospel writers the Pharisees were significant opponents of theirs (the gospel writers).
However that may be, invective can be found in the gospels.
So that is where I would police first.
(If the new editor wants to admonish posters, he should take a look at the thread on The Testament of Mary.)
(And what about differentiating between zeros and letters o's in the security verification? I just tried to do it, but, as usual, got it wrong and now have to try a new one and enter my name again.)
I am sorry, as I would like to know what he meant by banning ''hopelessness'' from discussions.
I suppose when I think about it, a sense of hopelessness is what finally drove me out of the church in late middle age, after raising my children in the church and sending them mostly to Catholic schools, after being an active member, parish volunteer, and, when my schedule permitted, a daily communicant throughout my life. Instead of banning discussions that may raise ''hopelessness'' as a factor in the church's loss of at least some of the tens of millions who have walked away, perhaps those who actually care about why so many are leaving should explore what underlies the sense of hopelessness in so many current and former Catholics.
Probably he doesn't go back to read threads anyway.
I'm grateful for this website since it does very, very light policing of the comments section. We-and her I included myself-don't always honor that trust.
However, I still keep up with the church that was so much a part of me for most of my life and I was struck by the last item in your list - hopelessness. I am very curious about what you mean by that, and hope that you will expand and clarify. I could hazard a guess, but might be well off the mark and don't wish to comment on that without understanding exactly what you mean by it.
I know you are busy as you assume your responsibilities at America - but if you would be so kind as to say a bit more about that item, and what you mean by it, and if you mean different things in different contexts, I would be very appreciative.
