Will Rogers and Yogi Berra. Two great icons of Americana. We're all familiar with these two gentlemen and their verbal antics. "I never met a man I didn't like," from Rogers and "It ain't over till it's over" from Berra are two we're very familiar with, but oh my.....there are so many more. So this week, just sit back and as Bugs Bunny used to say, "Unlax." Oh, and also enjoy a few more of their great sayings.
Here are ten of Will Roger's favorites:
Congress is so strange. A man gets up to speak and says nothing. Then nobody listens anyway and finally everyone disagrees.

They are voting to keep a governor in for two years or four. I think a good, honest governor should get four years and the rest of 'em, life.
There are two theories to arguing with a woman--and neither of them works.
My advice. Never pass up an opportunity to shut up.
Income Tax time has made more liars out of the American people than even golf!
There are only three kind of men: Those that learn by reading; a few who learn from observation; and the majority that have to pee on the electric fence and find out for themselves.
Age? Heck, eventually we all reach an age when we stop lying about it and actually start bragging about how old we are.
Some people wish to turn back their odometers of life. Not me. I want people to know "why" I look this way. I've traveled a lot of miles, my friend, and some of the roads weren't paved!
Being young is beautiful but being old is much more comfortable.
Not long ago men cursed a lot and beat the ground with sticks. It was called witchcraft. Today, it's called golf.
Here are ten of Yogi's favorites:
You can observe a lot in this world just by watching.
I always try to go to other people's funerals; otherwise they won't come to mine.
Slump! Hah, I ain't in no slump. I'm just not hitting the ball.
They paid me in cash which is just as good as money.
Heck, half the lies they've told about me aren't true.
I knew I was going to take the wrong train, so I left plenty early.
I'm not gonna buy my kid an encyclopedia. Let them walk to school just like I did.
Ya know, it's real tough making predictions, especially about the future.
We just made too many wrong mistakes, (when Yogi was asked why they last the game).
The towels were so thick at that hotel I could hardly close my suitcase.
Now that you've had a good laugh, quiet smirk or even a bit of a chuckle, lets all close our eyes, tap our heels and repeat, "There's no place like spring, there's no place like spring..." It's gotta work, doesn't it?
Let me know at email@example.com or call me at 319-327-4640.
And if you happen to get out on the golf course, remember, you can always "Take A Mulligan."

Compared to the hand-wringing that took place earlier over the appointment of two members to the city's Planning Board, the actual reappointment process was quite anti-climactic.
Planning Board members Susan Chapman and Chris Gallagher were reappointed to their seats Aug. 15.
But the route to that conclusion wound through allegations of favoritism, cronyism and lame-duck politics.
Both Chapman's and Gallagher's terms expired at the end of May.
With three new commissioners being sworn into office May 13, the process that was supposed to take place called for the Planning Board appointments to be handled by the new City Commission.
However, outgoing Commissioner Dick Clapp asked that the appointment process be moved up to May 2, which was the last meeting for himself, Mayor Kelly Kirschner and Vice Mayor Fredd Atkins.
Clapp had said he wanted to make sure that experienced Planning Board members were reappointed; he didn't want to risk having the new commission place someone else on the board.
Some people cried foul.
The jobs had not been advertised publicly, reducing the number of people submitting applications.
In fact, only one person had applied — former City Commission candidate Richard Dorfman, who said it wasn't fair that a lame-duck commission would be making the appointments.
Then Commissioner-elect Paul Caragiulo agreed.
"This stinks, politically," he said at the time. "It's an important board, and I'd like to see a robust number of applications come in."
Because city code requires the positions to be advertised for 90 days before appointments are made, City Attorney Robert Fournier warned the outgoing commission not to move forward May 2.
The three lame-duck commissioners voted initially to ignore that advice but later backtracked when Fournier insisted they would be setting up the city for a lawsuit.
"It would be tantamount to thumbing your nose at those who wished to apply," Fournier told them.
In the end, Dorfman dropped out, and only one out of nine other applicants, Glenda Williams, received a nomination (see box). None of the current commissioners mentioned any of the other applications during the session Monday.
Chapman and Gallagher both won reappointment by 4-1 votes. Caragiulo did not vote for Chapman, and Willie Shaw, who nominated Williams, did not vote for Gallagher.
Accepting applications
Although nine people applied to be considered for the Planning Board, only one received a nomination.
• Glenda Williams (nominated)
• Manuel Chepote
• Donald Cogswell
• Phil Grande
• Katherine Kelly-Ohlrich
• Colleen McGue
• Donald Saba
• Norman Schimmel
• Pete Theisen

Location2730 Hillegass Avenue, at Derby Street - Southeast Berkeley, Mobile Unit 3
Getting There
Map of Parks
Willard Park is the main neighborhood park in Southeast Berkeley and includes a large grassy area in addition to a clubhouse and tot lot developed in partnership with the community.
Multi-purpose turf
Lighted tennis courts (2); practice wall available
Tot play area featuring wood play structure with swings, slide, climbers, and stage, fully enclosed in sand-filled play area with accessible rubberized surfacing
Picnic area
Clubhouse used for after-school recreation programs
Paths built from historic cobbles
HistoryIn 1957 and 1964 the City purchased parcels to create the park, and in 1968 funds were allocated from Housing and Urban Development (HUD) monies to purchase the remaining property of the current park site. Plans for a user-developed park with joint use between the City and Willard School were approved in April 1969. The land was cleared of buildings in the summer of 1969, and an interim park was developed in the fall.
In August 1970, the Willard Park Citizens Committee approved final drawings for Phase II of the park development. The park was officially dedicated on June 20, 1971. During the years of the Vietnam War, it was called Ho Chi Minh Park by community activists.
In 1976, funds from Measure Y, the bond measure passed in 1974 to increase recreational opportunities for Berkeley's citizens, were allocated for renovation of the tot area, and on May 8, 1982, ceremonies were held to name the park after Frances Willard, a suffragette, educator, and temperance leader.
In the mid-1990s, Friends of Willard Park, an active community adopt-a-park group, spearheaded several improvements in the park, including the renovation and redesign of the tot play area. The Friends of Willard Park remain active in the ongoing maintenance and improvement of the park.
Restroom Available
No Off-Street Parking
Acreage2.72 acres 118,500 sq. ft.
Generally wheelchair accessible, but the pathway from entrance at Derby Street undulates around drain inlets.
Park Hours6 a.m. to 10 p.m. unless otherwise posted

The King's School in Parramatta is the subject of a police investigation after allegations of indecent and physical assault were made by a group of boarding students.
Police confirmed that detectives from the child abuse squad are investigating assault allegations made by students against other students at a school in Sydney's north-west.
"Given those alleged to be involved are juveniles it would be inappropriate for police to provide any further detail at this point in time," a statement from the police media unit said.
It is understood that the allegations centre around indecent and unwanted sexual contact, which include the act of "turkey slapping", where a male rubs his genitals on another's face.
The headmaster of the private boys' school, Dr Tim Hawkes, confirmed that police were investigating the allegations made by students.
"The school has been made aware of an allegations and is co-operating with the police over this matter," Dr Hawkes told the Daily Telegraph.
In accordance with mandatory reporting requirements, all schools are required to report to authorities any incidents where a child may be at risk.
The school was unable to be reached when contacted for comment on Sunday.

In October, the Army will do something it's wanted to do for more than a decade: send a pair of combat brigades to a warzone equipped with a new data network, and the hardware to operate it. It'll let more than a thousand troops rapidly send voice, text, imagery and data across a warzone and to a soldier on patrol. It's a milestone, following years of aspirations, setbacks and adjustments. And it arrives pretty much too late for the wars.
When the 3rd and 4th Brigade Combat Teams of the 10th Mountain Division reach Afghanistan in October, between 1,200 and 1,400 soldiers will take with them a rejiggered Motorola Atrix running Android that's the heart of a communications program called Nett Warrior. When they go out on patrol, their devices will load mapping applications layered with data about where they are and where their buddies are. When they encounter insurgents, homemade bombs or Afghan civilians, they'll be able to record that information, which will appear on those digital maps as icons dotting layers of data.
Using the Rifleman Radios plugged into their Motorola devices, they'll be able to transmit that data in a series of relays from one radio to another, across their units, into their trucks and back to their company headquarters. When the data reaches the computers within a tactical operations center, their captain and first sergeant will be able to see their battlefields like never before, as they change, in near-real time. And those officers will be able to ping that picture up the chain of command, to the battalion and then brigade headquarters – and, should a colonel decide it's necessary, onward and upward, all the way back to the Pentagon, thousands of miles away.
And it works both ways. When the captain decides that there's information at his or her level that a squad leader needs to know – say, a suspicious car moving at a high rate of speed toward the squad, captured on video from an Army drone overhead – the captain can send it out to the squad leader. A new icon will appear on the mapping app on the Atrix.
"This is a capability we have never, ever been able to provide," says Brig. Gen. John Morrison, one of the key figures behind the Army's new data network, called the Warfighter Information Network-Tactical, or WIN-T.
He's not kidding: WIN-T has been in the works since 1996. For most of that time, it lived as the dream of Pentagon officials – and the frustrations of soldiers in confusing, arduous fights in Iraq and Afghanistan, who didn't have the tactical information they needed when they needed it. Army colonels and generals who announced the deployment of WIN-T to Afghanistan at the Pentgon on Thursday used terms like "sea change" to describe it.
Only that change may have come too late.
In order to develop WIN-T, the Army had to tear up its playbook for how it develops, well, everything. When the Army wants a new tank, it determines the specifications it needs, figures out of those specs are realistically deliverable, picks a contractor to build it, tests it once it's built, and then starts to buy it and send it out to the units who'll drive it. You can't buy IT gear this way.
Nett Warrior is an example. It began life in the mid-1990s as a different program called Land Warrior. In order to connect dismounted soldiers to the data they needed, the Army's idea was to strap them full of wearable computers, with dangling banana-shaped keyboards and monocles strapped to their helmets displaying maps, all cabled together in a cumbersome get-up that weighed over a dozen pounds. By 2010, when the renamed Nett Warrior had been panned by the few soldiers who used it, the program had less computational power than an iPhone, which could fit in a soldier's pocket. And it still hadn't gone to war.
But developing Nett Warrior was hard enough. A different Army office developed the Rifleman Radios that were supposed to be how the wearable computers to the outside world. Another one worked on what waveforms the Army should use. Another one worked on providing deployed soldiers with the bandwidth necessary for them to communicate. The costs ballooned; the deadlines slipped; and the network never arrived.
About 18 months ago, the Army decided – thanks in large part to its former vice chief of staff, Gen. Peter Chiarelli, an iPhone enthusiast – that it needed to develop the whole network, all at once, and test it all at once, so soldiers wouldn't discover in the middle of a firefight that the network didn't work as advertised. That led to a series of tests at the White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico and Fort Bliss, Texas, appropriately called Network Integration Exercises.
Among the lessons: shrink Nett Warrior down to a smartphone loaded with apps. (Well, a smart device; the 3G/4G and the Wi-Fi capabilities of the device are disabled for data-security purposes and you can't make a call on it.) Don't demand the defense industry produce gear that will quickly become archaic; buy existing tech off the shelf instead. Hughes isn't married to the Atrix: He envisions a newer smartphone forming the basis for Nett Warrior maybe every year or every other year. Design tactical operations centers, or TOCs, that can be boxed up and moved closer to the fight, so as to ease the strain on the network. Newer TOCs that the brigades from the 10th Mountain will take to Afghanistan this fall can be moved in three hours; when the Network Integration Exercises began, it took 12. The Army estimates these tests saved it $6 billion.
"Just think of the power" that soldiers will be able to tap into, Morrison beams.
Now comes the hard part – taking it to war.
WIN-T works well at White Sands, swear Morrison and Col. Dan Hughes, the Army's director for systems integration and an amateur app designer. But however accurate and exacting the training scenarios for the network have been, Afghanistan is an acid test. Even technology that tests perfectly has a habit of breaking in wartime – especially if that technology has lots of moving parts, like WIN-T and Nett Warrior.
Then come the usage issues. A young, bored soldier with an Atrix in his hand might be tempted to send his buddy a funny video he shot. Stopping that, to some degree, is a matter of an alert sergeant growling at him to knock it off. But there's also a technological solution: Back at the TOC, the captain's staff will be monitoring for potential bandwidth hogs – especially if they seem to come from anomalous sources. More related to a mission, Hughes concedes that sending video out to a dismounted soldier's Nett Warrior device is "harder to do," given the file size and available bandwidth. That video might have to stay in the TOC, while the key bits of data become icons on the Atrix's networked maps.
Finally, there are issues that technology can't solve. Brig. Gen. Randall Dragon, head of the Army's Brigade Modernization Command, says that the key data soldiers need are "where are my buddies, where is the threat, and where do I put effective fires." But in a counterinsurgency like Afghanistan, a soldier on patrol may not know if the Afghan giving him the thousand-mile stare is an insurgent or a civilian. That complicates his ability to create a red – enemy – icon on his mapping application. Hughes says the soldier can input an icon annotated to clarify that the Afghan's status is unknown – but quickly concedes that technology can't fix basic intelligence problems.
Still, WIN-T has field-tested a number of anticipatable problems. Hughes says the data that soldiers send and receive is encrypted at multiple points, unlike drone video was in Iraq. The Army's working on procedures to make sure that it isn't bombarded with data, like the Air Force was when it started shooting terabytes' worth of full-motion video from loitering drones. "The guys in the TOC, we don't need to see everything," says Maj. Shane Sims, another officer working on WIN-T.
The most bittersweet part of the imminent WIN-T deployment is the calendar. The Iraq war was one of the longest in American history, and it came and went without a modern Army data network. Danger Room boss Noah Shachtman wrote a blog post speculating that WIN-T might be deployed ahead of schedule; that blog post was published in 2005. The Afghanistan war, the longest war in American history, is winding down. The Army wants to outfit a total of eight brigades with WIN-T over the next two years. They will probably be the last combat brigades of the war. Networking soldiers was a major priority of the Army before 9/11 in a labyrinth of programs called Future Combat Systems that proved to be an expensive failure. WIN-T will surely undergrow growing pains when it actually meets the trial by fire in Afghanistan. It might only truly be a mature network after the Army is done with the war – leaving open the question of how relevant will be in the next one.
What remains foremost in the mind of the officers, themselves war veterans, that developed the network is how they and their soldiers needed something like WIN-T for the past decade and didn't have it. "We took a lot of shortcuts," says Maj. Gen. Gennaro Dellarocco, who runs the Army's Testing and Evaluation Command. "We've paid for it, dearly, literally, with lives."

Residents and tourists deserted downtown Ocean City on Sunday afternoon after officials ordered an evacuation of the town's southernmost blocks as Hurricane Sandy began to whip the shores.
But at the Purple Moose Saloon on the Boardwalk, owner Gary Walker was waiting until the very last moment to close up.
With a single customer nursing a beer at around 3 p.m., he wasn't holding out for a surge of business. Rather, Walker said he wasn't impressed by the power Sandy had shown so far.
Despite the evacuation south of 17th Street, he planned to stay near the bar through the storm — or inside it if the storm worsened, on a single mattress made up with clean sheets in the back of the bar, under black lights and a disco ball.
Others appeared to take warnings of an unusually large storm surge more seriously. The rest of the downtown Boardwalk storefronts were shuttered behind steel doors, and motels nearby flashed "no vacancy" signs despite barren parking lots.
The few wet, bundled-up visitors who strolled the beach said they came to see the storm's power in person.
"It's a part of history almost," said Larry Jones of Salisbury, Walker's lone patron, who came to the beach for the day to get a glimpse of Sandy before it's too dangerous to do so. "This may be one of the biggest storms to hit Ocean City in years."
Sandy is expected to dump as much as 9 inches of rain on the lower Eastern Shore, with 6 inches possible in the Baltimore area. The storm is projected to slam head-on into the New Jersey shore Monday evening. With a full moon Monday, storm surges in Ocean City are expected to reach as high as 8 feet.
Wind gusts on Sunday reached 40 mph in the Ocean City inlet, according to a National Weather Service monitoring station, and were expected to pick up overnight and on Monday. A hurricane-force wind warning cautioned of sustained winds of 50 to 60 mph, with gusts reaching as much as 74 mph.
Town officials did not expect to order an evacuation for the rest of Ocean City, but they did ask all visitors to leave by 8 p.m. Sunday. Maryland State Police officers went door to door with town officials in the southern evacuation zone asking residents to leave. The town's full-time population is about 7,000.
About 50 area residents took refuge at a Worcester County shelter set up at Stephen Decatur High School in Berlin, Mayor Rick Meehan said, while about 200 residents of the low-lying downtown area had chosen to stay behind and brave the storm. Most have experienced tropical storms and nor'easters and can remain safe inside their homes, he said.
"We would prefer that they leave, but our next issue to them will be that they stay inside and use common sense," Meehan said.
Most flood areas in Ocean City lie along Assawoman Bay, which was filling up with rainwater held in place by heavy winds, said Joe Theobald, the town's emergency services director. But in the ocean-front high-rises and hotels that remained open, he said, there is less to be concerned about.
"It's going to get really noisy," Theobald said.
While Sandy could be more severe than Hurricane Irene was last year, officials said its arrival after the tourist season simplified the evacuation. When Irene neared Ocean City's beaches last August, Meehan said, there were about 250,000 tourists in town.
That prompted an evacuation of the entire town 24 hours ahead of the storm, he said. This time, officials determined 12 hours would be enough time to send visitors home.
If Sandy's storm surge proves as bad or worse than feared, it could indeed be historic — Walker, the bar owner, said he recalls only once in his 38 years working on the Boardwalk that waves lapped at his door. As with Sandy, it was during the off season, in January 1992, and coincided with abnormally high tides.
But he is keeping his fingers crossed.
"I just can't see the water getting up high enough to do that kind of damage," Walker said, watching the waves crash across the beach. "But I could be wrong."

State police are investigating a fiery one-vehicle crash early Sunday morning in Summit Township that killed a 29-year-old West Virginia man.
Craig Cole of Moundsville lost control of the vehicle he was driving about 3:30 a.m. on Route 422 west just before Mitchell Hill Road.
A police report said Cole was driving in the eastbound lane when the vehicle struck the guide wire of a utility pole and went over an embankment. The vehicle was engulfed in fire when police got there.
Troopers tried to put out the flames with fire extinguishers but to no avail. Lick Hill volunteer firefighters were assisted by East Butler and Onieda Valley.
Cole was found dead in the vehicle. A passenger, also from West Virginia, apparently was able to get out and crawl up the 50-foot embankment and flag down another motorist, authorities said.
The passenger, whose name was not available, was taken to Butler Memorial Hospital where he was reportedly treated and released.
Butler County Deputy Coroner Larry Barr pronounced Cole dead about 7 a.m. An autopsy determined he died of severe head injuries. Barr said Cole also had burns to the lower half of his body, his arms and face.

Seth Lozano 1998 Chevy 3500 Pickup
Someone bought Seth Lozano's green Chevy pickup at the equivalent of a VDOT auction in Duluth, Minnesota– it had been the property of the Forest Service– threw a snowplow on the front, and probably made good money clearing away tons of snow. When Snowplow Man had had enough– or at the end of the winter– he traded the truck in at Duluth Dodge, which is where Lozano snagged it this fall.
"I just got tired of hauling drywall around in my Mercedes 300 TD wagon," says Lozano, operations manager for a construction company. He parked the Merc, hopped in the Chevy with his puppy, and headed to Charlottesville, where he had a job lined up.
"It got 16 miles per gallon on the highway," the 6'4" Cornell University alum says, "plus the 8-foot bed is big enough for me to stretch out in when I can't find a motel that will let me bring my dog in."
Lozano says he doesn't miss the old Mercedes except when he has a date. Somehow, a pickup with a snowplow on the front doesn't make quite the same impression on babes.

A MAN appeared in court today charged with the murder of a young woman in Southampton.
Jamie Nicholson is accused of killing 26-year-old Belinda Dalby.
Nicholson, 30, of no fixed abode, wearing a dark blue t-shirt and trousers, spoke only to confirm his date of birth at a two minute hearing at Southampton Magistrates Court.
Magistrates remanded him in custody to appear at Winchester Crown Court on Thursday.
The body of Miss Dalby - a former Alderman Quilley pupil - was found in Jordan House, Millbrook Road East, at 6.25pm on Friday.
Miss Dalby's family paid tribute to her, describing her as a "bubbly" and "popular" person.
Her sister Shannon, 20, said she was "really outgoing and was the life and soul".
Miss Dalby had been staying at Jordan House for a couple of months, having moved around a number of times in recent years.
She leaves behind four siblings - Shannon, Christopher, Madeleine and Marc, dad and step-mum Grant and Theresa Barrass, and grandmother Ruth Murry, who all still live in the Eastleigh area, as well as mum Sandy Ablewhite, who lives in Brighton.

10-year-old among kids arrested in 'brutal' bike trail robberies
Nine juveniles, including a 10-year-old, have been arrested in a series of sometimes brutal robberies along a downtown-area bike trail, Houston police said.
The nine told police they were an aspiring offshoot of a Third Ward gang, authorities said Wednesday when announcing the arrests.
The nine are also believed responsible for more than seven similar robberies near the Columbia Tap trail, police said. A map of the nearly four-mile trail can be seen here.
In some of the attacks, the juveniles, all boys, used guns. They told authorities the robberies were done for fun and money, police said.
"They thought it was a good summer activity," said Houston Police Department Captain Glenn Yorek. "Some said they needed money to eat or to buy shoes."
The juveniles, arrested on Tuesday, weren't taking direction from the older gang, said department spokesman John Cannon. HPD found no official ties with the gang, he said.
The teens are 10 to 16 and live near the trail. Many were arrested at schools in the area, where they are students. Some have previous criminal records.
The 10-year-old was charged with the robbery. The rest were charged with organized crime. All were referred to Harris County juvenile probation. Yorek said authorities consider the crimes gang-related.
The attacks began in mid-May and targeted victims, from college students to senior citizens, in the mid-morning and early evening, Yorek said. They struck 13 times on the bike trail between North MacGregor and the Gulf Freeway service road.
The captain described some of the beatings as "brutal." In one instance, the attackers broke someone's collar bone and ribs. Other times, the robbers hit their victims in the back of the head, followed with beatings by at least two attackers.
The attackers would jump out at bicyclists and joggers on the trail, knocking over their victims and rob them. Sometimes the robbers took the bikes, knowing which ones were higher-end models, police said.

TODO: Revise untar instructions.
The automated installer is out-of-date and until the new mingw-get installer is finalized, you'll need to download the files for the compiler manually and decompress and unarchive them in your MinGW directory (top level directory where you wish to install MinGW, usually c:\mingw).
To help simplify this task, below is a script that will download the files for you. The files to download are for version 4.5.0 of the gnu C/C++ compiler with latest updates as of 6/1/2010. You may need to update this script if later files are released or in order to add other languages. The script requires bash and wget. Both are available from the MinGW file downloads. wget is also available from the gnuwin32 site at Sourceforge. Bash is also available with the djgpp compiler. You can run the script within msys or standalone, just make sure bash and wget are in your path.
Quick links to wget and bash alternatives that don't require msys installed:
- wget binary from gnuwin32 archive
- wget dependent files from gnuwin32 archive
- bash
To run, type and enter within msys or from a Windows command prompt:
bash mingwdl.sh
The source code for mingwdl.sh follows:

Automated Installer
The mingw-get installer currently installs only GCC 3. You will get GCC 3 using this method. If you want to install the latest GCC release, use the Manual Installation method above.
If you are new to MinGW, the recommended way to begin is to:
- Download the mingw-get installer and extract the files to the C:\MinGW directory.
- Add C:\MinGW\bin; to the PATH environment variable.
- Use the mingw-get command to install MinGW as explained in the mingw-get release notes.
- The recommended installation directory is C:\MinGW. Unless you are very sure you know what you are doing, you should not change this; in particular: never install MinGW into any directory which includes spaces in its absolute path name.
- For versions of MSYS prior to MSYS-1.0.11; do not install MinGW into the same path as MSYS; (you may install to a subdirectory of the MSYS tree, as long as non-MSYS executables are not placed in the MSYS /bin directory).
- When you install both MSYS and MinGW, and have /mingw mapped to your MinGW directory (as is the default), if you then install ports, supplementary MinGW programs or libraries, you are advised to install them into the /mingw directory tree, to ensure that they will be available for use with GCC; e.g. you should configure with
../path/to/configure --prefix=/mingw
../path/to/configure --prefix=`cd /mingw; pwd -W`
(This latter form is preferred, when the program being installed is a native Windows binary, and the prefix may be hard coded into the executable).
- The installer will not automatically modify any environment settings, (in particular PATH). You will need to add the MinGW `bin' directory, as described below; see Environment Settings.
Manual Installation
Instead of using an installer you can as well get all required packets and unpack them manually into a subdirectory. In fact that's what this writer is doing himself.
Download the Packages
At least the following (or newer) packages from the
- MinGW download page http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=2435
are needed (the automated mingw installer I think includes all of these and sets up the right directory for you--what it's doing is downloading compilers and default header files, and putting them in one place on your system, so the future builds will use those compilers and directories for building):
- GNU Binutils: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=2435&package_id=11290
- GCC Version 3: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=2435&package_id=82723
- MINGW Runtime: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=2435&package_id=11598
- Windows 32 API: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=2435&package_id=11550
Note that you will need gcc-core for other gcc language front ends to work properly.
These files are gzipped tarballs, Linux users will probably be familiar with .tar.gz files, but they are not that common under Windows. Essentially they are compressed folders like zip files. In order to access the contents you will need to decompress them, this requires that you have gzip and tar installed on your machine. Linux comes with these as standard in every distribution, but under Windows you will need to install them manually. Windows versions can be found at:
- Gzip for Windows: http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/gzip.htm
- MinGW downloads section, MinGW standalone version of TAR (which also handles lzma and xz): http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/download.sourceforge.net/pub/sourceforge/m/project/mi/mingw/MinGW%20Utilities/basic%20bsdtar/
- LibArchive for Windows, TAR: http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/tar.htm.
If you see a file with the extension lzma or xz instead of tar, it uses a newer compression algorithm that makes use of lzma. It's become the standard for Slackware tarballs and many Linux distributions are starting to use xz because it offers better compression ratios than tar. To decompress a file with the lzma or the xz extension, you can use 7zip http://www.7-zip.org/. If you prefer the command line, there's a 7za program at the 7zip site. You can also check the mingw file archives for the xz program. It will decompess xz files or the files using the older lzma standard.
Download the setup files and install the applications. Before you use them you need to tell Windows where to find them; specifically this means adding the install directory to your PATH. To do this, follow the procedure below, to update the PATH appropriately, in your Environment Settings.
Create Install Directory
Caution: Never install MinGW into any directory which includes spaces in its absolute path name.
Create a directory to install all the stuff into. This writer usually creates C:\MinGW, (the recommended default), and copies all of the above files in there. Now issue the following commands, remember to change the file names to match your downloads:
cd /d c:\MinGW gzip -df binutils-2.19.1-mingw32-bin.tar.gz tar -xf binutils-2.19.1-mingw32-bin.tar cd info ren dir dir.binutils cd .. gzip -df gcc-core-3.4.5-20060117-3.tar.gz tar -xf gcc-core-3.4.5-20060117-3.tar cd info copy dir dir.gcc copy dir+dir.binutils cd .. gzip -df gcc-g++-3.4.5-20060117-3.tar.gz tar -xf gcc-g++-3.4.5-20060117-3.tar gzip -df mingwrt-3.15.2-mingw32-dev.tar.gz tar -xf mingwrt-3.15.2-mingw32-dev.tar gzip -df mingwrt-3.15.2-mingw32-dll.tar.gz tar -xf mingwrt-3.15.2-mingw32-dll.tar gzip -df w32api-3.13-mingw32-dev.tar.gz tar -xf w32api-3.3-mingw32-dev.tar
- Notes:
- If you wish to use other programming languages, in addition or instead of "C" and "C++", you should repeat the commands related to "gcc-g++", substituting the appropriate language package tarball; you must still install the "gcc-core" package.
- The indicated commands copying and concatenating the info/dir files are really a rather crude way of creating a combined documentation catalogue; they apply only if using older package versions than those indicated, since precompiled info/dir files are no longer distributed. In any case, this technique really isn't appropriate: see the comment below, for discussion on the purpose of, and the correct way to maintain, an info catalogue.
Additional Programming Languages
To add additional languages apply some or all of the following commands:
cd /d c:\MinGW tar xvzf gcc-ada-3.4.5-20060117-1.tar.gz tar xvzf gcc-g77-3.4.5-20060117-1.tar.gz tar xvzf gcc-java-3.4.5-20060117-1.tar.gz tar xvzf gcc-objc-3.4.5-20060117-1.tar.gz
MSYS Installation
You may also want to install MSYS.
Environment Settings
When you install command line tools, such as MinGW, or GnuWin32 tools, you have to tell the command line interpreter where to find them; this is usually accomplished by adding the appropriate directory names to the PATH variable in your environment. Typically, it is your responsibility to do this; please do not expect the installer, (if you used one), to do it for you.
Warning: Adding entries to the PATH is normally benign. However, if you delete, you may mess up your PATH string, and you could seriously compromise the functioning of your computer. Please be careful.
- Right-click on "My Computer" and select "Properties".
- Click Advanced -> Environment Variables.
- In the box entitled "System Variables" scroll down to the line that says "PATH" and double-click the entry.
- You will be presented with a dialog box with two text boxes, the bottom text box allows you to edit the PATH variable. It is very important that you do not delete the existing values in the PATH string, this will cause all sorts of problems for you!
- Scroll to the end of the string and at the end add ";<installation-directory>\bin". Here <installation-directory> is the full absolute path name of the installation directory; if you accepted the defaults when installing tar and gzip, then for these, it will (probably) be C:\Program Files\GnuWin32, while for MinGW it will be C:\MinGW\bin, (if you kept to the recommended default installation directory). Don't forget the semicolon; this separates the entries in the PATH.
- press OK -> OK -> OK and you are done.

Lilo: party all weekend!
The official excuse from Lindsay Lohan in court on Friday, for which she was 90 minutes late, was that she was too busy, and her schedule too full, to complete her alcohol education program.
Busy with what? It's not like she acts anymore.
Still, the judge pretended to buy it and gave her yet another chance. So Lilo celebrated all weekend in LA by hitting the spa, and the hair salon, oh yeah, and also the clubs. Spotted out very late at Teddy's (which is A BAR) where Samantha Ronson was supposedly DJ'ing. Great. Stalking again. And trying to make her jealous?
As you know People.com typically resides inside the asses of celebrities, happy to whitewash for drug addicts, but they are reporting that Lilo was "all over" none other than Balthazar Getty the other night at a West Hollywood club. Apparently they snuck in the back, made out for half an hour, then quickly left, eager to take their hook up somewhere else.
Jude Law, Jamie Burke, Balthy G… must Lilo always follow Sienna Miller?

Good evening everyone. There's one remaining berth in the semi-finals of this year's Carling Cup and by close of play tonight we'll know who of Manchester United and Crystal Palace will join Liverpool, Manchester City and Cardiff City in the last four.
For supporters more familiar with administration, talk of ground freeholds and nerve-jangling flirtations with relegation from the Championship, Palace fans will be pleased with the progress their team has made under club hero and managerial novice Dougie Freedman. Comfortably settled in mid-table with a place in the play-offs a long shot if they can end a worrying 500-minute goal-drought, they'll have enjoyed the diversion of a Cup run in which their team has recorded victories over Crawley Town, Wigan Athletic, Middlesbrough and Southampton.
Their reward for progressing this far is a visit to Old Trafford, where they're 10-1 outsiders to beat a second-string Manchester United team almost certain to be comprised of fringe players and youngsters, among them Ravel Morrison, who will surely relish the chance of parading in front of photographers who might provide assorted media outlets with something other than this stock study of bored and sneery indifference which seems to be the only one in existence.
Breaking news: While we wait for the line-ups to appear on the wires, the sacking of Steve Bruce as manager of Sunderland is the only show in town. Martin O'Neill is odds-on favourite to replace him, with Mark Hughes also heavily backed, but my money's on the Mackem's going for untried local pyramid inverter Jonathan Wilson, who would probably like me to steer anyone looking for a nice Christmas stocking-sized present for that special somebody in their life in the direction of his new biography of Brian Clough.
Man Utd: Amos, Rafael Da Silva, Smalling, Evans,
Fabio Da Silva, Valencia, Gibson, Park, Diouf, Berbatov,
Subs: Lindegaard, Michael Keane, Pogba, Morrison,
Fryers, Cole, Lingard.
Crystal Palace: Price, Clyne, McCarthy, Gardner, Moxey,
Dikgacoi, O'Keefe, Wright, Zaha, Scannell, Easter.
Subs: Speroni, Parr, Ambrose, Iversen, Jedinak, Murray, Ramage.
Referee: Chris Foy (Merseyside)
Not long now: The teams click-clack out the tunnel and on to the pitch, with Manchester United's players kitted out in their usual home strip, while Crystal Palace's players wear an away strip of yellow shirts, shorts and socks. Sir Alex Ferguson has opted to leave many of the kids some thought might start the game on the bench tonight, while Dougie Freedman has also had to thihnk carefully about who to select, aware of the need to keep one eye on Friday night's Championship match against Derby County.
Before play starts, the players from both teams line up around the centre-circle for a minute's applause for Gary Speed.
1 min: Manchester United kick off, with Federico Macheda and Dimitar Berbatov doing the honours. They're playing into the Stretford End and line up in a 4-4-2, with Antonio Valencia and Mame Biram Diouf on the right and left their midfield four. Palace are playing a 4-3-3, with David Wright and Kagisho Dikagoi on the right and left of Stuart O'Keefe in their midfield trio.
2 min: Crystal Palace tyro Wilfrid Zaha, a stripling of just 19, goes on a box-to-box run with the ball at his toe, before shooting over from the edge of the penalty area when a through-ball to Sean Scannell would probably have been a better option.
4 min: Crystal Palace are really taking the game to Manchester United here, showing them little or no respect.
5 min: Not for the first time, Palace attack, with Jermaine Easter galloping between defenders to chase a bouncing through-ball from midfield. Chris Smalling does well to get back and put the ball out for a corner.
6 min: Valencia sends in a cross from the right, which Macheda picks up on the left-hand side of the penalty area. He keeps the ball in play and crosses it again and it's put out for a corner.
9 min: United take the corner, the ball is half-cleared as far as Rafael Da Silva, who has a pop from distance. He doesn't put his foot through the ball properly and shanks it horribly wide from the edge of the penalty area.
9 min: Sloppy defending from Rafael gifts possession to Sean Scannell in the Manchester United right-back position, but he's unable to make much of it and is forced to switch play to the other side of the field, where the attack fizzles out.
12 min: Under pressure from Jermaine Easter, Chris Smalling over-hits a backpass to goalkeeper Ben Amos, who prevents it going out for a corner but is forced to hack the ball clear for a Palace throw-in. The Championship side have had a great start, silencing the locals and prompting the visiting fans to strike up a chorus of "You're supposed to be at home!"
13 min: Crystal Palace are pretty much bossing midfield at the moment, where Stuart O'Keefe is proving his worth as an industrious box-to-box midfielder. Manchester United are playing very narrowly, with Valencia and Diouf having been squeezed inside in search of the possession their central midfielders Darron Gibson and Park Ji-sung have failed to provide them with thus far.
16 min: Ben Amos is forced to hack the ball out for another Palace throw-in after another kamikaze back-pass, this time from Jonny Evans.
17 min: From that throw-in, the ball is put through into the penalty area, with Wilfried Zaha in hot pursuit. Fabio shoves him just outside the penalty area, he goes to ground inside it and appeals for a spot-kick. None is forthcoming. Replays show that Chris Foy should have awarded Palace a free-kick on the edge of the penalty area.
19 min: The ball is played towards Darron Gibson about 30 yards from the Palace goal. He shifts it on to his right foot and tries a shot, which takes a deflection and goes out for a corner from which nothing comes.
20 min: Attacking down the inside right flank, Valencia and Macheda link up well just outside the Crystal Palace box, with the Ecuadorian winger dinking the ball over the top,from where it drops beautifully for Dimitar Berbatov. He extinguishes his cigarette, buttons up his raffish crushed velvet overcoat and volleys wide from eight or nine yards. Should have done better.
22 min: More great play from Zaha, the Crystal Palace striker who's an early contender for man of the match. This time he picks up the ball on the right, cuts inside and shoots wide from a narrow angle.
24 min: "I don't think Jonathan Wilson needs any help selling his book," writes PJ Connolly. "Amazon is out of stock. Either you caused a stampede tonight or the tactics fella is already arranging crisp £50 notes into stacks and pushing them around a gigantic golden Subbuteo pitch, imagining it's the 1983 Widzew Łódź European Cup semi-finalist's."
25 min: Sean Scannell advances on the Manchester United after being picked out by an excellent pass from Zaha. He shapes to shoot and then lets fly, but Jonny Evans blocks and puts the ball out for a corner. Nothing comes of it.
26 mins: If Crystal Palace were even remotely intimidated by the prospect of tonight's match at Old Trafford, they're hiding it well. They've had the lion's share of possession tonight and have used it fairly productively, getting forward and creating several half-decent scoring opportunities.
28 min: United finally manage to spray the ball wide to Antonio Valencia and he gallops down the right flank before drilling it into the centre. His delivery is a mite too high for Federico Macheda, who had leapt a couple of yards inside the box in a bid to get his head to it.
29 min: Fabio and Zaha have been having a right old ding-dong in the opening half-hour, from which the Brazilian has emerged second best. He finally gets booked for a trip on the Crystal Palace striker, having spent the past 20 minutes persistently fouling him.
31 min: Ouch! Down by his own corner flag in the Manchester United left-back position, Mame Biram Dioup gets penalised for a foul throw. It's a fair cop; it was a really lazy effort. The camera cuts to the dug-out where Sir Alex Ferguson looks most unimpressed.
33 min: Sean Scannell, who boasts a similar barnet to Steven Pienaar (he used to be quite a promising footballer), goes down injured after a collision with Antonio Valencia, allowing Crystal Palace manager Dougie Freedman to summon a few of his charges to the touchline to issue some instructions. After getting to his feet, Scannell hobbles to the touchline and then limps back into the action.
36 min: Park gives the ball away just outside his own penalty area and it's promptly passed out wide to Scannell, who cuts inside and shoots from just inside the penalty area. His effort fizzes wide.
38 min: Manchester United substitution: Possibly as a result of its owner having been given the runaround by Wilfrid Zaha, Fabio's hamstring goes twang and the Brazilian limps off looking forlorn. He's replaced by Ezekiel Fryers.
39 min: Jonny Evans plays the ball through the centre, along the deck to Dimitar Berbatov. A period of sustained passing around the hinterland of the congested Crystal Palace penalty area ensues, but United fail to find an opening and are steadily forced backwards.
40 min: Valencia crosses from the right, sending the ball fizzing just inside the edge of the Palace penalty area, where Macheda and Berbatov get in each other's way, allowing the visitors to clear.
44 min: Manchester United break on the counter-attack, with Antonio Valencia galloping down the right flank, cutting inside and sending in another cross, this time to the far post. Mame Biram Diouf sends an acrobatic volley over the bar.
44 min: Crystal Palace substitution: Sean Scannell, one of their best players this evening, has succumbed to the knack that was bothering him earlier and has had to limp off. He's replaced by Jonathan Parr, a young Norwegian.
44+2 min: Zeki Fryer sends a deep cross in from the left touchline. Under pressure from Antonio Valencia, Federico Macheda and his own defender Dean Moxey, Palace goalkeeper Lewis Price does well to pluck the ball from the air on the edge of his own six-yard box. Moxey lands in a heap and stays down, but eventually picks himself up and is able to continue playing.
Half-time It's been a reasonably absorbing first half, despite neither goalkeeper having had much to do. Dougie Freedman will be the happier manager by far; his Championship players have been mightily impressive against Manchester United's second stringers.
Second half: Crystal Palace get the second half started and there have been a couple of changes. Crystal Palace substitution: Dean Moxey off, Darren Ambrose on. Manchester United substitution: Dimitar Berbatov has been replaced by Ravel Morrison. Oh Dimitar ... still, at least his hair will be dry.
47 min: Diouf picks up a pass from Zeki Fryers, manages to keep it in play on the left touchline and plays it back inside to the replacement left-back, who'd continued his run. His attempted cross is blocked.
49 min: Darron Gibson gives to Diouf, continues his run and picks up the return pass before attempting a shot on goal from distance. Do you really need me to tell you it didn't trouble Lewis Price in the Palace goal. It was awful, even by Gibson's wayward standards, with the ball skidding diagonally across the six-yard box before eventually trundling well wide.
50 min: Sloppy defending from Anthony Gardner allows Antonio Valencia to bear down on Palace's goal with the ball at his feet. As Price rushes out to narrow the angle, the winger clips the ball past him and watches in horror as it rolls agonisingly wide of the far post. The goalkeeper got a touch - corner for United.
54 min: After good build-up play from Darron Gibson, Ravel Morrison is given the opportunity to shoot from distance. He stings Price's palms, but the shot was straight at the goalkeeper. Second-half possession stats: Manchester United 75%-25% Crystal Palace.
55 min: ""Looks like not many emails tonight, Barry," writes Mike Boulton, who is correct. "Does this mean the Grauniad's readership is largely made up of public servants who are all down the pub for a post strike drink?"
56 min: Well, I suppose if they're public sector strikers, you can be sure they all downed their placards at 5pm on the dot. You wouldn't catch them doing any free overtime, even on a picket line.
57 min: "You'd think that some of the United players would be busting a gut to impress the manager, seeing that their chance of getting regular Premiership football has disappeared with Bruce's sacking today," writes Ian Burch, to the sound of a cymbal-crash.
59 min: With Federico Macheda breathing down his neck in the Palace left-back position, Jonathan Parr has an anxious wait for Lewis Price to dash off his line and grab the ball. Palace's goalkeeper does so, but only just in the nick of time.
60 min: Morrison fires off another shot, a diagonal effort from right to left. The angle is narrow, but his aim towards the bottom left-hand corner is true - Lewis Price sticks out a right foot and blocks with another fine save.
61 min: Bizarre - now it looks as if Rafael Da Silva has done his hamstring. Coincidence, or a twin thing?
64 min: Manchester United substitution: Rafael Da Silva off, Paul Pogba on. The versatile and obliging Park Ji-sung moves to right-back, while Pogba slots into the centre of midfield.
GOAL! Manchester United 0-1 Crystal Palace (Ambrose 65) That is an astonishing strike from Darren Ambrose, who picks up the ball about 45 yards from goal, wafts a smidge to his right and dispatches an unstoppable right-footed surface-to-air screamer into the top left-hand corner. That was incredible! If a better goal than that has ever been scored at Old Trafford, I'd love to see it.
66 min: Wow! Just ... wow! What a goal to have on your showreel, and what a place to score it. I'm not sure how Ambrose did that - the ball didn't seem to be travelling with much velocity when it left his foot, but seemed to gather pace in the air before screaming into the corner. Amos had no chance. You could probably have had five or six goalkeepers in there and they wouldn't have saved it between them.
PENALTY FOR MANCHESTER UNITED! Or pelanty, if you're Chris Waddle. Macheda gets dragged to ground in the area by Patrick McCarthy and Chris Foy blows his whistle and points straight to the spot.
GOAL! Manchester United 1-1 Crystal Palace (Macheda 67pen) Having won the penalty, Macheda decides to take it. He takes a half-step, sends Price the wrong way and slots the ball into the bottom left-hand corner. It's all square again at Old Trafford.
70 min: Pogba squanders possession in midfield, allowing Jonathan Parr to launch a counter-attack down the inside left. He gallops forward and sends in an inviting cross, but despite Jermaine Easter's best attempts to make up the requisite ground, Parr was too zippy for him and he's unable to get on the end of the cross.
73 min: "Having worked in the public sector for 17 years I can tell you there is no way we'd be carrying any placards without a full risk assessment being done first," writes a self confessed cowardly doctor who would like to remain anonymous. "And 5pm? It's like the Marie Celeste in my hospital in the management offices from 4.30pm onwards."
73 min: Crystal Palace substitution: Jermaine Easter off, Glenn Murray on. A former Brighton striker, Murray missed a penalty for Palace against Millwall at the weekend.
75 min: "Because there aren't many email tonight, I'm delighted to inform you that your fellow countryman, Robbie Keane, scored the only goal for LA Galaxy against Indonesia Selection earlier tonight in Jakarta," Pangeran Siahaan. "The only let-down was that Keane didn't confess afterwards that playing in Gelora Bung Karno stadium was one of his boyhood dreams. I know he wept down inside."
76 min: Both sides have used all their substitutes at this stage, which means that if this goes to extra time, the 22 men currently on the pitch will play out the extra half-hour. One of those men is Mame Biram Diouf, who picks up a pass from Darron Gibson on the left flank, cuts inside and sends a diagonal shot from distance flying out of the stadium. Good grief ...
80 min: If I had to bet on it, I'd wager on there being one more goal in this match in the next 10 minutes ... possibly more. Having run their hearts out and chased shadows for much of the second half, a few of Crystal Palace's players are starting to look a bit leggy. Palace's engine-room, Stuart O'Keefe is quite obviously suffering from cramp and on the verge of seizing up, but he's trying to run it off.
83 min: Palace win a corner, which is cleared spectacularly, but only as far as Parr on the left touchline. He plays it down the line, it's crossed into the penalty area and Palace win another corner.
84 min: The corner's sent into the mixer, Amos comes off his line to get it, but doesn't get near it. Luckily for him, the ball heads out over the touchline for a United throw-in.
84 min: A mistake from Gibson allows Zaha to advance on the United penalty area, but he's robbed of possession before he can find an opening.
86 min: "Ambrose's shot must have been taken from miles away because the commentators on the radio reached that high peak of screaming, when you're just waiting for them to confirm the goal, but there was this very unusual pause, making the listener lean forward towards the radio, wanting more," writes Steven Hughes. "It was probably akin to the rapt nation hearing Edward VIII jack it in in 1936."
87 min: Palace substitute Glenn Murray catches Chris Smalling with a boot to the head as the pair tussled for a 50-50 ball. It was accidental and the damage appears to have been minimal.
89 min: Ravel Morrison tries a shot from well outside the penalty area, but doesn't quite get hold of it and sends his effort horribly wide. Federico Macheda has a go at him for being selfish.
89 min: Glenn Murray gets the hopes of minute-by-minute reporters everywhere hoping to avoid extra time up by shooting a diagonal effort into the side-netting.
90 + 1 min: There'll be three minutes of added time. Then another half hour, which I think it's safe to say we could all do without.
90+2 min: Manchester United ping the ball around the edge of the final third, but Zaha robs possession back for Palace.
90 + 3 min: Peep! Peep! Peep! It's all square at the end of normal time. There'll be another half-hour and then - possibly - penalties.
ET1: Right, we're off ... but I missed a bit because I was having a go at self-promotion's Jonathan Wilson on Twitter. Park has a shot from distance for Manchester United, but his 20-yard effort flashes wide of the right upright.
ET2: Zaha picks up the ball on the left touchline and curls in a cross that's headed clear.
ET3: "Didn't Man Utd pay a load of dosh for some geezer called Bebe?" asks Robin McGrother. "Where is he?" As far as I know, he's currently recuperating from knee ligament damage, having suffered a long-term injury shortly after being farmed out on loan to some Turkish club or other.
ET5: Gibson does his trademark "thing", picking the ball up on his left foot, shifting inside to his right and then unleashing a shot from distance. Unlike what happens when he usually triies his trademark "thing", this effort fizzes just inches wide of the upright after taking a nick off a defender. Nothing comes from the ensuing corner.
ET7: It's Antonio Valencia's turn to try his luck. Wide.
8 min: A brilliant bit of skill from Zaha, who totally bamboozles Park with a soft-shoe shimmy, gets kicked on the shin and wins Palace a free-kick wide on the left.
GOAL! Manchester United 1-2 Crystal Palace (Murray 98) Palace go ahead as a result of the free-kick won by Zagha's sublime footwork. Ambrose lofted in a beauty from the left flank to the edge of the six-yard box, where Murray got in front of Jonny Evans and headed home from six yards out.
ET10: Darron Gibson goes close again, this time putting his boot through to the ball and sending his low drive flashing wide of the left upright.
ET11: Macheda fails to adjust his feet properly and pokes a close-range effort wide. Moments later, Crystal Palace win a free-kick over 40 yards from the United goal. Ambrose takes it quickly, chancing his arm with a shot on goal that United's players weren't expecting. His effort is another rocket, which Ben Amos does well to prevent from flying in the bottom left-hand corner.
ET14: Manchester United are pressing and probing on the edge of the final third, but Crystal Palace's players are defending doggedly, refusing to give them an inch. That's quite an effort considering how knackered they must be.
ET15: Peep! It's half-time in extra time. Looking at a replay of Palace's goal, it seems that Glenn Murray was offside when the free-kick was sent into the United penalty area.
ET16: There's no dilly-dallying at the changeover, with both sets of players eager to get home quickly and watch tonight's episode of Frozen Planet, which they've no doubt recorded.
ET19: Darron Gibson gets booked for a trip on Glenn Murray, just inside the Crystal Palace half. For all their huff and puff, Manchester United haven't done much in the opening minutes of the final quarter-hour and that foul seems to have been borne of frustration.
ET21: "Clearly the public sector Gods have punished you for your comment on 56 mins by sending this game into extra time," writes Michael Garton, who is probably right.
ET23: The ball's played through the centre for Park Ji-sung to chace, but Palace skipper Patrick McCarthy slides in and clears with a magnificent tackle. He's been immense tonight, despite giving away the penalty from which Manchester United scored.
ET24: There are few things more amusing than being accused of being one-eyed by somebody who is so blinded by bias that they don't even have the luxury of being able to see through even one eye.
"I came to your live updates looking for an impartial take on the game,"writes Frank Ecclestone, who is going to be embarrassed when this is brought to his attention in the cold light of day. "What a horrible mistake. I expect you're sat there in a United shirt surrounded by your lentil-eating colleagues - the most one-sided drivel I've ever read." Eh?
ET28: Lentils, though - tee-hee. Never heard that one before [*minute-by-minute reporter rolls eyes skywards*]. In the face of relentless pressure from Manchester United, Crystal Palace's players are putting their bodies on the line, with Anthony Gardner throwing himself in front of shots twice in quick succession as United lay siege on the visitors' goal.
ET30: Valencia drives United forward and takes a shot, that is blocked. the ball breaks kindly for Park, but he's robbed of possession. Palace hack the ball clear, but United pour forward again. Diouf tries a shot and Nathaniel Clyne blocks. That surely is that ...
Peep! Peep! Peeep! After a heroic rearguard action in the second half of extra time, Crystal Palace have won. They've clung on to beat Manchester United and advance to the last four of the Carling Cup, where they'll meet one of Cardiff City, Manchester City and Liverpool. I suspect Sir Alex Ferguson will be furious with his side for embarrassing him tonight.
I'll hang on here to bring you the semi-final draw. Because I'm good like that. While we're waiting here's an email: "Ecclestone might be onto something," writes Steve Curley. "I've suspected you of being biased against lentils for some time now. It's about time the truth came out." You're right Steve, I've never liked lentils and to be honest I'm delighted Crystal Palace won tonight. Who wouldn't be, apart from Manchester United fans ... and Charlton fans. It's always nice to see the big boys slip on a banana-skin and as a longtime resident of south London, they're my local ... um, "big" team.
This, from Andy Gracie: "What about a quick mention for the fantastic Palace fans?" he asks, about the travelling 5,000 who did their club proud tonight, completely out-singing the home crowd for 120 minutes.
Semi-final draw coming up very shortly ...
Carling Cup semi-final draw
Manchester City v Liverpool
Crystal Palace v Cardiff City
Great stuff; we'll have a Championship side in the final of the Carling Cup. The first legs of the semi-finals will be played on 9 January, with the second legs to follow on 29 January. Thanks for your time and your emails, that's me done for the evening.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration on Tuesday ordered an immediate fix to the latest version of Boeing Co's 747-8 plane, saying a software glitch could cause it to lose thrust when close to landing and fly into the ground.
The FAA's so-called airworthiness directive covers Boeing's 747-8 and 747-8F planes with certain General Electric Co engines. It calls for replacing defective software with a new, improved version.
The rule, the fourth such directive involving the 747-8, directly affects seven airplanes in the United States, the FAA said.
If adopted internationally, the rule would cover a larger number. Boeing's website said it had delivered 66 of the four-engine jets, the company's largest, to customers worldwide since the model was introduced in October 2011.
The problem never caused a problem in flight, Boeing said.
Because of the seriousness of the safety issues, the directive takes effect April 9, skipping the usual comment period, although comments can still be submitted, the FAA said.
Boeing said data analysis indicated a potential problem, and it advised customers last year to update the software. It said it believed the majority of operators had already done so.
The risk of failure was "extremely remote," Boeing said.
GE said it owned the software and jointly analyzed it with Boeing, but plane maker decided to recommend the software change to customers.
According to the FAA, the risk arises when a plane is changing back into "air mode" while performing a "rejected or bounced landing." That change halts hydraulic pressure used to stow the engine thrust reversers, which slow the plane on landing, the agency said.
Without hydraulic pressure, the reversers may not stow fully and might redeploy, which "could result in inadequate climb performance at an altitude insufficient for recovery, and consequent uncontrolled flight into terrain," the FAA said.
Unidentified business jet/VIP customers own the eight passenger models of the aircraft in the United States, according to Boeing's website. Air cargo company Atlas Air is the largest U.S. commercial owner of the jet, with a fleet of eight 747-8F freighters.
Among passenger carriers, Lufthansa is the largest operator, with 11. It said its planes were unaffected by the directive.
"GE has confirmed that all our engines already have the software update that is required by the FAA," a spokesman said on Wednesday.
China's Cathay Pacific has 13 freighters and Cargolux, based in Luxembourg, has nine.
Korean Airlines Co, Nippon Cargo Airlines Co Ltd
and Volga-Dnepr UK Ltd also own 787-8F freighters, according to Boeing's website.
Shares of Boeing were up 0.5 percent at $124.01 in afternoon trading.

But the VMwares of the world aren't quaking in their boots just yet. Hyper-V requires 64-bit hardware, which may make some organizations think twice due to its associated hardware cost. And while Windows Server 2008 has received good reviews, migration will likely take years.
Features and Speed
But for those who are making an early investment in Windows 2008 and aren't frightened off by the prospect of 64-bit hardware, virtualization using Hyper-V makes a lot of sense. At the very least, the additional memory space that can be directly addressed will make for significantly faster performance for virtual machines (VMs).
Hyper-V can also support a Symmetrical Multi-Processing environment of up to four multi-core processors in a VM. This feature provides the ability to see similar performance on multithreaded applications in a VM, just as you might see it on physical hardware.
For migration and backup, Hyper-V lets you take snapshots of a running VM, making it possible to easily revert to a previously saved state as well as improve the overall backup and recoverability of your VM and its data.
Microsoft has also extended System Center as the primary management tool for virtual as well as physical operations. The System Center Virtual Machine Manager lets sys admins assess the health of VMs, perform backup and migration, provision new VMs and in general take care of a virtual server environment.
Coming up on the Competition
Certainly Hyper-V lacks both the maturity and market reputation of VMware ESX and, to a lesser extent, Citrix XenServer, but it already has some sophisticated features. Organizations should expect a modest amount of growing pains, but it's clear that the availability of Hyper-V is going to give those who've been putting off moving to a virtual infrastructure one more reason for making the virtualization move sooner rather than later.
