If a program needs to specify an architecture specification string in some place, it should select one of the strings provided by dpkg-architecture -L. The strings are in the format os-arch, though the OS part is sometimes elided, as when the OS is Linux.[77]
Note that we don't want to use arch-debian-linux to apply to the rule architecture-vendor-os since this would make our programs incompatible with other Linux distributions. We also don't use something like arch-unknown-linux, since the unknown does not look very good.
The configuration files
/etc/protocols, and
/etc/rpc are managed by the
netbase package and must not be modified by other packages.
If a package requires a new entry in one of these files, the maintainer should
get in contact with the
netbase maintainer, who will add the
entries and release a new version of the
netbase package.
The configuration file
/etc/inetd.conf must not be modified by the
package's scripts except via the
update-inetd script or the
DebianNet.pm Perl module. See their documentation for details on
how to add entries.
If a package wants to install an example entry into
/etc/inetd.conf, the entry must be preceded with exactly one hash
character (#). Such lines are treated as "commented out by
user" by the
update-inetd script and are not changed or
activated during package updates.
Some programs need to create pseudo-ttys. This should be done using Unix98 ptys if the C library supports it. The resulting program must not be installed setuid root, unless that is required for other functionality.
The files
/var/log/wtmp and
/var/log/lastlog must be installed writable by group
utmp. Programs which need to modify those files must be installed
setgid utmp.
Some programs have the ability to launch an editor or pager program to edit or display a text document. Since there are lots of different editors and pagers available in the Ubuntu distribution, the system administrator and each user should have the possibility to choose their preferred editor and pager.
In addition, every program should choose a good default editor/pager if none is selected by the user or system administrator.
Thus, every program that launches an editor or pager must use the EDITOR or
PAGER environment variable to determine the editor or pager the user wishes to
use. If these variables are not set, the programs
/usr/bin/pager should be used, respectively.
These two files are managed through the
"alternatives" mechanism. Thus every package providing an editor or
pager must call the
update-alternatives script to register these
If it is very hard to adapt a program to make use of the EDITOR or PAGER
variables, that program may be configured to use
/usr/bin/sensible-editor and
as the editor or pager program respectively. These are two scripts provided in
the Ubuntu base system that check the EDITOR and PAGER variables and launch the
appropriate program, and fall back to
/usr/bin/editor and
/usr/bin/pager if the variable is not set.
A program may also use the VISUAL environment variable to determine the user's
choice of editor. If it exists, it should take precedence over EDITOR. This
is in fact what
/usr/bin/sensible-editor does.
It is not required for a package to depend on editor and pager, nor is it required for a package to provide such virtual packages.[78]
This section describes the locations and URLs that should be used by all web servers and web applications in the Ubuntu system.
Cgi-bin executable files are installed in the directory
and should be referred to as
Access to HTML documents
HTML documents for a package are stored in
/usr/share/doc/package and can be referred to as
The web server should restrict access to the document tree so that only clients on the same host can read the documents. If the web server does not support such access controls, then it should not provide access at all, or ask about providing access during installation.
Access to images
It is recommended that images for a package be stored in /usr/share/images/package and may be referred to through an alias /images/ as
Web Document Root
Web Applications should try to avoid storing files in the Web Document Root.
Instead they should use the /usr/share/doc/package directory for
documents and register the Web Application via the
package. If access to the web document root is unavoidable then use
as the Document Root. This might be just a symbolic link to the location where the system administrator has put the real document root.
Providing httpd and/or httpd-cgi
All web servers should provide the virtual package httpd. If a web server has CGI support it should provide httpd-cgi additionally.
All web applications which do not contain CGI scripts should depend on httpd, all those web applications which do contain CGI scripts, should depend on httpd-cgi.
Ubuntu packages which process electronic mail, whether mail user agents (MUAs) or mail transport agents (MTAs), must ensure that they are compatible with the configuration decisions below. Failure to do this may result in lost mail, broken From: lines, and other serious brain damage!
The mail spool is
/var/mail and the interface to send a mail
message is
/usr/sbin/sendmail (as per the FHS). On older systems,
the mail spool may be physically located in
/var/spool/mail, but
all access to the mail spool should be via the
/var/mail symlink.
The mail spool is part of the base system and not part of the MTA package.
All Ubuntu MUAs, MTAs, MDAs and other mailbox accessing programs (such as IMAP daemons) must lock the mailbox in an NFS-safe way. This means that fcntl() locking must be combined with dot locking. To avoid deadlocks, a program should use fcntl() first and dot locking after this, or alternatively implement the two locking methods in a non blocking way[79]. Using the functions maillock and mailunlock provided by the liblockfile*[80] packages is the recommended way to realize this.
Mailboxes are generally either mode 600 and owned by user or mode 660 and owned by user:mail[81]. The local system administrator may choose a different permission scheme; packages should not make assumptions about the permission and ownership of mailboxes unless required (such as when creating a new mailbox). A MUA may remove a mailbox (unless it has nonstandard permissions) in which case the MTA or another MUA must recreate it if needed.
The mail spool is 2775 root:mail, and MUAs should be setgid mail to do the locking mentioned above (and must obviously avoid accessing other users' mailboxes using this privilege).
/etc/aliases is the source file for the system mail aliases (e.g.,
postmaster, usenet, etc.), it is the one which the sysadmin and
postinst scripts may edit. After
/etc/aliases is
edited the program or human editing it must call
newaliases. All
MTA packages must come with a
newaliases program, even if it does
nothing, but older MTA packages did not do this so programs should not fail if
newaliases cannot be found. Note that because of this, all MTA
packages must have Provides, Conflicts and
Replaces: mail-transport-agent control file fields.
The convention of writing forward to address in the mailbox itself is not supported. Use a .forward file instead.
rmail program used by UUCP for incoming mail should be
/usr/sbin/rmail. Likewise,
rsmtp, for receiving
batch-SMTP-over-UUCP, should be
/usr/sbin/rsmtp if it is
If your package needs to know what hostname to use on (for example) outgoing
news and mail messages which are generated locally, you should use the file
/etc/mailname. It will contain the portion after the username and
@ (at) sign for email addresses of users on the machine (followed
by a newline).
Such a package should check for the existence of this file when it is being
configured. If it exists, it should be used without comment, although an MTA's
configuration script may wish to prompt the user even if it finds that this
file exists. If the file does not exist, the package should prompt the user
for the value (preferably using
debconf) and store it in
/etc/mailname as well as using it in the package's configuration.
The prompt should make it clear that the name will not just be used by that
package. For example, in this situation the inn package could say
something like:
Please enter the "mail name" of your system. This is the hostname portion of the address to be shown on outgoing news and mail messages. The default is syshostname, your system's host name. Mail name ["syshostname"]:
where syshostname is the output of hostname --fqdn.
All the configuration files related to the NNTP (news) servers and clients
should be located under
There are some configuration issues that apply to a number of news clients and server packages on the machine. These are:
A string which should appear as the organization header for all messages posted by NNTP clients on the machine
Contains the FQDN of the upstream NNTP server, or localhost if the local machine is an NNTP server.
Other global files may be added as required for cross-package news configuration.
Programs that can be configured with support for the X Window System must be configured to do so and must declare any package dependencies necessary to satisfy their runtime requirements when using the X Window System. If such a package is of higher priority than the X packages on which it depends, it is required that either the X-specific components be split into a separate package, or that an alternative version of the package, which includes X support, be provided, or that the package's priority be lowered.
Packages that provide an X server that, directly or indirectly, communicates with real input and display hardware should declare in their control data that they provide the virtual package xserver.[82]
Packages that provide a terminal emulator for the X Window System which meet
the criteria listed below should declare in their control data that they
provide the virtual package x-terminal-emulator. They should also
register themselves as an alternative for
/usr/bin/x-terminal-emulator, with a priority of 20.
To be an x-terminal-emulator, a program must:
Be able to emulate a DEC VT100 terminal, or a compatible terminal.
Support the command-line option -e command, which creates a new terminal window[83] and runs the specified command, interpreting the entirety of the rest of the command line as a command to pass straight to exec, in the manner that xterm does.
Support the command-line option -T title, which creates a new terminal window with the window title title.
Packages that provide a window manager should declare in their control data
that they provide the virtual package x-window-manager. They
should also register themselves as an alternative for
/usr/bin/x-window-manager, with a priority calculated as follows:
Start with a priority of 20.
If the window manager supports the Debian menu system, add 20 points if this support is available in the package's default configuration (i.e., no configuration files belonging to the system or user have to be edited to activate the feature); if configuration files must be modified, add only 10 points.
If the window manager complies with
The Window Manager
Specification Project, written by the
Free Desktop Group, add 40
If the window manager permits the X session to be restarted using a different window manager (without killing the X server) in its default configuration, add 10 points; otherwise add none.
Packages that provide fonts for the X Window System[84] must do a number of things to ensure that they are both available without modification of the X or font server configuration, and that they do not corrupt files used by other font packages to register information about themselves.
Fonts of any type supported by the X Window System must be in a separate binary package from any executables, libraries, or documentation (except that specific to the fonts shipped, such as their license information). If one or more of the fonts so packaged are necessary for proper operation of the package with which they are associated the font package may be Recommended; if the fonts merely provide an enhancement, a Suggests relationship may be used. Packages must not Depend on font packages.[85]
BDF fonts must be converted to PCF fonts with the
bdftopcf utility
(available in the xfonts-utils package,
gzipped, and
placed in a directory that corresponds to their resolution:
100 dpi fonts must be placed in
75 dpi fonts must be placed in
Character-cell fonts, cursor fonts, and other low-resolution fonts must be
placed in
Type 1 fonts must be placed in
/usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1/. If
font metric files are available, they must be placed here as well.
Subdirectories of
/usr/share/fonts/X11/ other than those listed
above must be neither created nor used. (The
Speedo, and
cyrillic directories
are excepted for historical reasons, but installation of files into these
directories remains discouraged.)
Font packages may, instead of placing files directly in the X font directories listed above, provide symbolic links in that font directory pointing to the files' actual location in the filesystem. Such a location must comply with the FHS.
Font packages should not contain both 75dpi and 100dpi versions of a font. If both are available, they should be provided in separate binary packages with -75dpi or -100dpi appended to the names of the packages containing the corresponding fonts.
Fonts destined for the
misc subdirectory should not be included in
the same package as 75dpi or 100dpi fonts; instead, they should be provided in
a separate package with -misc appended to its name.
Font packages must not provide the files
fonts.alias, or
fonts.scale in a font directory:
fonts.dir files must not be provided at all.
fonts.alias and
fonts.scale files, if needed, should
be provided in the directory
where fontdir is the name of the subdirectory of
/usr/share/fonts/X11/ where the package's corresponding fonts are
stored (e.g., 75dpi or misc), package is
the name of the package that provides these fonts, and extension is
either scale or alias, whichever corresponds to the
file contents.
Font packages must declare a dependency on xfonts-utils in their control data.
Font packages that provide one or more
fonts.scale files as
described above must invoke
update-fonts-scale on each directory
into which they installed fonts before invoking
update-fonts-dir on that directory. This invocation must occur in
both the
postinst (for all arguments) and
postrm (for
all arguments except upgrade) scripts.
Font packages that provide one or more
fonts.alias files as
described above must invoke
update-fonts-alias on each directory
into which they installed fonts. This invocation must occur in both the
postinst (for all arguments) and
postrm (for all
arguments except upgrade) scripts.
Font packages must invoke
update-fonts-dir on each directory into
which they installed fonts. This invocation must occur in both the
postinst (for all arguments) and
postrm (for all
arguments except upgrade) scripts.
Font packages must not provide alias names for the fonts they include which collide with alias names already in use by fonts already packaged.
Font packages must not provide fonts with the same XLFD registry name as another font already packaged.
Application defaults files must be installed in the directory
/etc/X11/app-defaults/ (use of a localized subdirectory of
/etc/X11/ as described in the X Toolkit Intrinsics - C
Language Interface manual is also permitted). They must be registered as
conffiles or handled as configuration files.
Customization of programs' X resources may also be supported with the provision
of a file with the same name as that of the package placed in the
/etc/X11/Xresources/ directory, which must registered as a
conffile or handled as a configuration file.[86]
Packages using the X Window System should not be configured to install files
under the
/usr/X11R6/ directory. The
directory hierarchy should be regarded as obsolete.
Programs that use GNU
autoconf and
automake are
usually easily configured at compile time to use
/usr/ instead of
/usr/X11R6/, and this should be done whenever possible.
Configuration files for window managers and display managers should be placed
in a subdirectory of
/etc/X11/ corresponding to the package name
due to these programs' tight integration with the mechanisms of the X Window
System. Application-level programs should use the
/etc/ directory
unless otherwise mandated by policy.
The installation of files into subdirectories of
/usr/X11R6/include/X11/ and
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/ is
now prohibited; package maintainers should determine if subdirectories of
/usr/lib/ and
/usr/share/ can be used instead.
Packages should install any relevant files into the directories
/usr/include/X11/ and
/usr/lib/X11/, but if they do
so, they must pre-depend on x11-common (>= 1:7.0.0)[87]
Programs that require the non-DFSG-compliant OSF/Motif or OpenMotif libraries[88] should be compiled against and tested with LessTif (a free re-implementation of Motif) instead. If the maintainer judges that the program or programs do not work sufficiently well with LessTif to be distributed and supported, but do so when compiled against Motif, then two versions of the package should be created; one linked statically against Motif and with -smotif appended to the package name, and one linked dynamically against Motif and with -dmotif appended to the package name.
Both Motif-linked versions are dependent upon non-DFSG-compliant software and thus cannot be uploaded to the main distribution; if the software is itself DFSG-compliant it may be uploaded to the contrib distribution. While known existing versions of Motif permit unlimited redistribution of binaries linked against the library (whether statically or dynamically), it is the package maintainer's responsibility to determine whether this is permitted by the license of the copy of Motif in their possession.
Ubuntu: Packages that provide icons in a subdirectory of
/usr/share/icons must invoke
update-icon-caches on
each directory into which they installed icons. This invocation must occur in
both the
postinst (for all arguments) and
postrm (for
all arguments) scripts[89]. Doing
this allows GTK+ to make use of the icon cache for efficiency gains, while
ensuring that the cache does not get out of date and cause problems for some
update-icon-caches is not installed, this invocation may safely
be skipped. No additional dependency is necessary.
Perl programs and modules should follow the current Perl policy.
The Perl policy can be found in the perl-policy files in the
debian-policy package. It is also available from the Debian web
mirrors at
Please refer to the "Debian Emacs Policy" for details of how to package emacs lisp programs.
The Emacs policy is available in
debian-emacs-policy.gz of the
emacsen-common package. It is also available from the Debian web
mirrors at
The permissions on
/var/games are mode 755, owner
root and group root.
Each game decides on its own security policy.
Games which require protected, privileged access to high-score files, saved games, etc., may be made set-group-id (mode 2755) and owned by root:games, and use files and directories with appropriate permissions (770 root:games, for example). They must not be made set-user-id, as this causes security problems. (If an attacker can subvert any set-user-id game they can overwrite the executable of any other, causing other players of these games to run a Trojan horse program. With a set-group-id game the attacker only gets access to less important game data, and if they can get at the other players' accounts at all it will take considerably more effort.)
Some packages, for example some fortune cookie programs, are configured by the
upstream authors to install with their data files or other static information
made unreadable so that they can only be accessed through set-id programs
provided. You should not do this in an Ubuntu package: anyone can download the
.deb file and read the data from it, so there is no point making
the files unreadable. Not making the files unreadable also means that you
don't have to make so many programs set-id, which reduces the risk of a
security hole.
As described in the FHS, binaries of games should be installed in the directory
/usr/games. This also applies to games that use the X Window
System. Manual pages for games (X and non-X games) should be installed in

I am always struck by flickr member ivy style33's well, style! She is constantly styling her home, figuring out inexpensive ways to make her home look extremely expensive, and she is a master of print and texture. This white corner is a perfect example of what I'm talking about. The fact that it's mostly white makes one notice the texture on that shade, the mobile strand, the lampshade. The fact that she framed all of her artwork in the same frames makes them a cohesive collection:
Yea! Ivy is keeping us up to date with whatever she has going on in a blog – Check it out here! To get your own piece of Ivy Style, check out her Etsy shop.

Free Getting Started – or Refresher – Lessons
Just starting out in your family history search or wanting to to refresh your memory on researching how to and techniques is often available from classes or one-on-one tutoring. There are some online sources, however, which you can access at home (or library) on your own computer and at any time convenient to you.
Among the various choices, four seem to stand out in terms of organization, simplicity of use, and overall value.
Researching Your Family Tree at learnwebskills.com meets all of these criteria and offers exercises to practice what it teaches. It is easy to follow, and you can do one exercise, go off and do other life things for an extended time, and pop right into the next step with little difficulty. The lessons offer a LearnGen Group at Yahoo groups.com which does not seem to be too active, but you could always share you results and questions with us here with an email to the bulletin. (Our email address is email@example.com). You can access the Researching Your Family Tree lessons at http://www.learnwebskills.com/family/intro.html
A long time standard of the genealogical community online is Kimberly Powell of genealogy.about.com. She has posted information and tips on a regular basis for many years. Her Introduction to Genealogy series takes a slightly different approach to the beginning or refresher lessons, but they are rich in content and easily understood. Either by themselves are in conjunction with the Researching Your Family Tree lessons above, they are going to give lots of information, tips, and ideas. You can access Kimberly's lesson series starting at http://genealogy.about.com/library/lessons/blintro.htm.
The Rootsweb Guide to Tracing Family Trees has also been around for a while and proved it's worth. Like the others, it offers lots of basic information and is easy to follow. Rootsweb is a premier free website devoted to genealogy and is the source of all kinds of resources which help beginning and advanced researchers. You can access the Rootsweb Guide to Tracing Family Trees at http://rwguide.rootsweb.ancestry.com/.
Also, if you have high speed internet at home (or can go to a library computer) you can access the RootswTV video series Research Process Overview. It's a movie (and a talkie) which covers the basic getting started concepts and interviews various genealogists to illustrate the topic points of every lesson. It is also graphics-rich so that you can see examples of topics and techniques. You can access this RootsTV series at http://www.rootstelevision.com/players/player_howto3.php?bctid=232.

You heard from Apple's Tim Cook on Friday, responding to a New York Times report concerning the harsh working conditions employees reportedly face at China's Foxconn manufacturing plants. The report speaks of excessive working hours, underage workers and flat-out unsafe working conditions. Cook defended his company's relationship with Foxconn in a statement, and now BSR, a consulting group that promotes corporate responsibility, has stepped up to point out some inaccuracies in the NYT report.
The open letter to the newspaper is published on BSR's website. The gist of the response relates directly to quotes in the Times report from an unnamed "BSR consultant," which the letter states creates "a false impression that those views [expressed in the report] should be associated with BSR."
The letter is followed by a summary of key points where the original report fails to match up with BSR's own facts and views. They are as follows:
* It is untrue that Apple has consistently disregarded advice that BSR has provided about problems related to working conditions in its supply chain.
* The account of the pilot project in south China omits and obscures key facts. Despite the publication of a report that has been in the public domain for several years, there are errors in how you present the project conducted under the auspices of the World Bank, BSR, and three other sponsors.
* Your attribution of several opinions about Apple to BSR misstates the views of the organization. In several places, you attribute certain opinions about Apple to an unnamed "BSR consultant," despite the fact that this consultant is unnamed, and are not affiliated with BSR. Associating these views with BSR is a serious misrepresentation, and should be changed.

Re: Annual 2016 Review Thread
All in all, a good weekend.
The laning, while bumpy enough at times to sort out any loose fillings and even shake the bolts loose on a 2.8 was enjoyable and there was some crackingly good scenery too! Even the bobble hats were smiling!
Memo to all, beware of dodgy looking characters carrying jump leads in supermarket carparks... At that point I will shut up, I'm sure someone else will expand further!
Talking of bobble hats, I think we may have some undercover bobblies in the group. Thing is we parked up and the nutters went trotting up some track (now banned to vehicles) to stand on a cliff top and take pictures ffs... I think next years Annual should be held in Devon, on Dartmoor at the same time as Ten Tors, they can then go and do the up-hill, down-hill thing on the 55 mile course and get some stunning pictures from the top of the tors while the more sane of us do a few lanes and check out the local hostelries....
Campsite, what with that slope and the water soaked turf the campsite was 'interesting' to say the least. I'm still cleaning the mud off carpets in the van! Not so sure that parking the vans at the lower end of the slope was the best idea of the weekend but that was where the landlord wanted them and it's his field so hey-ho.... Out of interest, did anyone get bogged in dragging the caravan up the incline and then out the field?
Surprisingly, while everyone was out bashing the lanes on the Sunday we managed to get ours moving easy enough with low ratio, bottom gear and little to zero revs. I'd put the wheel chock things out when I parked it up so was able to just push back onto those to get a bit of a forward moment on the van. The problem came when we got up on the level part and then lined up for the gate and the ****** van and truck promptly sank in the mud! At one stage I was worried that the field would be taking a right chewing to get the truck and van moving but it slowly moved in the right direction without too much damage.
The pub attached to the campsite (or was it the other way round?) was err different... Well the 'music' evening definitely was! We were going to do lunch in there on the Sunday before leaving, but the place was all locked up even though they were advertising food all day on the sign outside. The line of Bobblies sat on the wall opposite in the cold, windy rain looked even more happy than normal... More so when the nominated pub door checker made the dash across the road to try the door (again) followed by the dejected walk of failure back to his group... Hopefully we helped the moral side a bit sat in the warm truck in the carpark, I did open the window a bit as it was getting too warm in the truck and I thought the excess heat would help warm the place up... Somehow I don't think it did though..
So to sum it up, cracking time. Well done and many thanks to the organisers, and it was nice to see folks again.
PS at no time did I mention draw tickets.....
This posting may have been helpfull, on the other hand probably not... Either way, I may have had drink when posting it in which case it's probably not as helpfull as it could have been
Work safe, and remember all technical problems can be resolved with a hammer, the trick is knowing where to hit it and how big a hammer to use (I often find it may also help to have a spare bit in the shed to replace the bit you have just mullered )
Work in Progress (or not as the case may be) I give you.... 'O-no' the truck.

Re: Annual 2016 Review Thread
Cracking weekend away, a decent break away from the daily grind just what the doctor ordered.Amazing how a few hours in the hills in good company can put you right. Good to meet MrPete who came up on his motorbike, and who rode shotgun in my truck all weekend and proved to be great company.
The camp site although wet and muddy was right up in the hills and it was nice to crawl out of the bivvy in the morning with a view of wildboarclough.The views more than made up for a little mud.
Two cracking days laning with only a little drama on the first day with a minor breakdown.Luckily we were relatively close to Milners who sorted out a part for us and left it somewhere safe so the lads could pick it up (just got the order placed before they closed).Top effort on Milner's service. After a quick pit stop down the pub while the repair was undertaken we were soon back on the lanes and headed across in the direction of Sheffield and as Snapper says stopped for a quick march up Stanage lol!!! Provided a nice interlude to the laning and was a chance to stretch our legs. Just a shame it is now closed to vehicles.
Back to the camp site and a welcome bbq followed by a chance to meet the locals in the pub which was err eye opening.
A quick breakfast on the Sunday and back on the lanes which helped to wake us all up. This time we stayed relatively local and took in some nice trails round Buxton and Bakewell finishing with the legendary climb up Monsal much to the amazement of a couple of walkers who watched on in awe as we passed and waved to us cheerfully. Really hope the PDNP don't get their way and tro it. Sadly had to say farewell at this point and headed for home. Being relatively local I was home in time for tea despite a kamikaze sheep throwing itself at my truck on the cat and fiddle. Luckily we both lived to tell the tale. Surprisingly this one wasn't wearing a bucket on its head
All in all a cracking weekend with a great bunch of people, I hope you all got home safe and sound with no dramas.Sadly no pics of any worth from me but Pete took loads from the passenger seat so will let him post these up.
Take it steady guys see you soon.
Someone mention laning? Just tell me when and where!

Re: Annual 2016 Review Thread
Had a really great weekend with you lot as ever, pitched up on Friday in relative sunshine and within an hour it was a raging blizzard and although it was freezing cold and soaking wet it didn't put a damper on the weekend, the views round there are stunning and the lanes are really impressive...
We had an impromptu climb up stanage edge that even George took part in (even if he was in his pushchair) which was really nice even if a few of us older ones felt the burn a little bit lol...
A couple of nice pub lunches a clutch slave cylinder change in the co-op car park and an exhaust held together with an empty soup tin,,a few scary moments including the fact that Andy is scared that he wasn't scared...a murder cottage, and of course Eric the sheep.... it was a really great weekend with some great friends and I can't wait to do it again
Re: Annual 2016 Review Thread
What a amazing weekend with some of the best people, anyone get any videos of the lanes?

Well Amigos, a new chapter in my life awaits. I've accepted a position at a company in Denver and will start at the begining of March. I'll move up the last week in Feb and will hopefully nail down an apartment by then.
It is a bittersweet move, the opportunity is very good and Denver is Denver, but leaving my family and friends behind is very tough. The last couple of years have been a challenging period for me and I've been less active in TSBA as I've dealt with these challenges, but I still value the comradarie and good times we have shared over the decade that I've been a part of this group.
I will be in touch with my contact info once I'm settled and look forward to having my fellow TSBA'ers come up to visit and check out the twistys and dirt paths in Colorado.
I'll probably set up a shin dig to say goodbye to my family and friends towards the end of Feb and will post up the details when I've got them.

As telecom giants AT&T
Now, Craig Moffet of Bernstein Research, the telecom sector's most consistently bearish analyst, says the tax windfall that stemmed from stimulus incentives in the wake of the financial crisis may reverse in coming years and hit the cash coffers at AT&T and Verizon.
In a Monday note to clients, Moffett calculates that because of the federal government's 2008 stimulus program and an accelerated depreciation taxing policy that allowed companies to defer cash taxes using capital investments, telecom giants may soon see the subsidy reverse in coming years.
Over the past four years, AT&T has reported income taxes of $29.3 billion in taxes, paying a tax rate that averages 35%, while Verizon has reported tax expense of $11.4 billion, in the same period according to Moffett's calculations. As a percentage of profits, those rates seem nothing out of the order.
However, Moffett calculates, AT&T has paid just $13.3 billion in income taxes out of its cash coffers, while Verizon's paid just $1.3 billion, adjusted for Vodafone's
In actual cash taxes paid to the federal government, Moffett calculates AT&T's rate fell as low as 0% in 2011, as a percentage of pre-tax income less special items. Meanwhile, Verizon's actual income tax paid in 2011 was just 6%, and in the two years prior, Moffett calculates the company paid nothing at all.
"Both have been efficient at taking advantage of bonus depreciation benefits under the Federal Stimulus plan to minimize cash taxes. Both also take advantage of a bevy of other tax subsidies and benefits," writes Moffett, in the note to clients.
The analyst cites a report from the Citizens for Tax Justice and the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy ranked AT&T and Verizon second and third in their use of tax subsidies between 2008 and 2010. While AT&T saw a subsidy of $14.5 billion over those years and Verizon saw $12.3 billion in tax aid, only Wells Fargo
Verizon's tax subsidy, the report says, was nearly 50% larger than General Electric
Unfortunately for AT&T, Verizon, Wells Fargo, and the like, the government wasn't offering a full tax break. In fact, while the government allowed companies to count large capital investments against their end of year bill payable to the taxman in the wake of the crisis, the stimulus program's biggest tax recipients may spend coming years making up the difference.
"If the ability to take accelerated depreciation were to be withdrawn, simple mathematics would suggest cash taxes higher than GAAP taxes, all else being equal; depreciation benefits for cash tax purposes would be far lower than for GAAP taxes, since prior year benefits have already been exhausted," writes Moffett.
The analyst doesn't expect "anything Draconian" were the windfall to reverse because AT&T and Verizon are smart in their management of tax liabilities and may use larger contributions to company pension plans to reduce cash liabilities in coming years. Moffett projects AT&T's cash tax rate will be just 12% in 2013 and will rise to 29% by 2016, while Verizon's rate will be 25% in 2013 and 27% by 2016.

The Deepwater Horizon oil spill unfortunately is still leaking crude oil into the environment. Despite the best effort of several companies, our government and individuals, the oil spill has yet to be stopped.
The "top kill", a method where a drilling solution (called "mud") was pumped down into the well to overpower the pressure of the crude oil, was tried 3 times before it was considered a failure. It is the same effect as using water to stop Coca-Cola from coming out of a shaken bottle. If the water has enough pressure it can overcome the pressure of the Coca-Cola, and keep the soda in the bottle.

Then the cap containment system was tried. It involves removing the damaged pipes above the blow out preventer. A new pipe can then be connected to the old pipe allowing the oil to be collected by the Drillship Discoverer Enterprise (no not that one, or that one either). All the pipe cutting, sealing, and maneuvering is being done under water and using Remotely Operated Vehicles (check out my previous blog). They first tried to cut the pipe using ROVs with a diamond tipped saw. Unfortunately the saw became snagged and they had to use a shear, a large device that come form the top to grip down on the pipe, tear away the rest of the pipe, making a jagged edge. The more jagged the edge the harder it is to fit the new pipe so that no oil leaks out. This cap has been placed and it has been taking away some of the crude oil. Every day it takes more and more up to Discoverer Enterprise, but it has not fully contained the leak.
Relief wells are still being drilled on two sides of the well. These will open up a different path for the pressure to take, hopefully allowing the main well to be sealed. While this is still the mostly likely way to stop any oil from leaking into the ocean, it will take 2 more months to complete.
Louisiana is creating artificial sand bars to stop the oil from washing up into the wetlands. There has been some controversy over these. They will move massive amounts of sand to form small artificial sandbars and prevent the oil from coming into the wetlands. The oil would wash up on the artificial sandbars and then could be collected and removed from the area. Scientist are concerned that there may be unforeseen environmental damage done by creating these artificial sandbars. They do not want to act too rashly in the short term and cause more environmental damage in the long run, like the environmental damage done by dispersants that were used in the clean up of the Exxon Valdez oil spill.
How can you help? There are a number of different national and state organizations have geared up meet this challenge. Here are few.

Religious fairs
During the summer season, most of the villages in Maharashtra celebrate annual religious fairs in the name of some or other local God or Goddess. These carnivals serve as an occasion for entertainment and community get-together. Height of the festivities is generally animal sacrifice, which re minds us of barbaric behaviour of ancient times. But vested interests encourage the traditional rituals under the guise of religious practices and cultural occasion only to satisfy their commercial interests.
Most of the communities in Maharashtra have their local deity to worship and these communities believe in worshipping them annually so that no harm will be caused to the community and individual as long as they follow the traditions set up in the past. One of the heinous traditions followed by the communities is animal sacrifice. Occasionally a well-built buffalo is offered but generally a sheep or Cock is butchered in front of the temple, a piece is offered the idol and a portion is given to the priest. and his family whereas the remaining is cooked and consumed with family and friends. This is known as fulfilling a 'Navas' in Marathi.
Basically the belief that if you offer something to God, God in return will take care of you is itself a myth. This kind of myth forces poor people to spend lot of money and hardship unnecessarily which otherwise can be used for medical expenses, nutritious food, clothing and to educate the children. The conditions in which the meat of the sacrificed animal is cooked is unhygienic. It is estimated the billions of Rupees wasted in this way can be utilised in many ways to improve basic infrastructure and programs to alleviate poverty and impart basic education.
Efforts by MANS
Our activists face lot of opposition while campaigning against animal sacrifice. Persons whose livelihood is at stake start opposing the good intentions and efforts. The local rowdies try all their best to discourage our activists and even threaten them. They question about the posters arguing that the posters are hurting the religious feelings. The cronies of the priest even instigate the local youths who come in a group and start behaving as though the local deity has possessed them
ANS has all the while opposed the practice since animal sacrifice has never served any purpose socially, economically or emotionally. However though the courts have again and again stressed to stop animal sacrifice in public places, the police authorities are unable to implement the order since there is no support from the society. Our organisation tries to bring awareness and to educate the community in this regard by arranging lectures, poster exhibitions, processions, etc.

Hi guys,
I'm suffering from not being able to shutdown or reboot the pc. A while back I opened this thread: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=150849, but had no luck with that.
Many kernel updates have come by, but none have helped with the problem. So I figured that maybe there's a broken package somewhere in my current system, and that a manual installation of the `base` package group may help.
I was planning on doing this:
1. Backup, backup, backup. And then backup a bit more.
2. Boot from the installation media.
3. (option A): Follow this guide to end up doing `pacman -Syf base`: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/In … ion_Chroot
3. (option B): no chroot, simply do pacman -S -r /mnt/root base
4. Reboot and cross my fingers.
What do you think? will I break my installation? Does this even make sense?
Back up key areas like /etc /home and maybe /var and do a clean install to a freshly partitioned disk. Why mess with what you're proposing at all? If it doesn't solve your problem you will end up doing what I suggest anyway. Save yourself the time and do it that way first

CPU-optimized Linux-ck packages @ Repo-ck • AUR packages • Zsh and other configs
Unfortunately, I just booted with the arch linux installation media, and it's unable to shutdown or reboot as well. So it seems I was wrong and it's not related to a package being corrupted in my system...
My only hope is to flash the BIOS, which is a huge pain in the ass because I need windows for that (I dare not run the EXE Sony provides for firmware upgrade with Wine...), but I guess that's something to discuss in another topic.
Boy, that dose not sound good. I would try booting other Live Linux CD's too, like Ubuntu.
Ya, I would never upgrade my BIOS with Wine
OpenBSD-current Thinkpad X230, i7-3520M, 16GB CL9 Kingston, Samsung 830 256GB
Contributor: linux-grsec
Relax, even if you try, it wont do anything (neither good or bad)
Wine emulates the windows API, but is not possible to reach the bios. (on my experience)
Anyway, probably is something like an irq conflicting with something. I had to add acpi=noirq to my kernel line on grub for a series of lock ups I was getting on my old P4. Maybe you too need to add an option to your kernel.
There is always the possibility to try to compile your own kernel, optimized for your machine.
"open source is about choice"
Open source is about opening the source code complying with this conditions, period. The ability to choose among several packages is just a nice side effect.

ST. PAUL, Minn., April 30 (UPI) -- Scam artists who say they are from Medicare or Social Security are trying to trick seniors into disclosing financial data, Minnesota's attorney general says.
State Attorney General Lori Swanson said Medicare and Social Security beneficiaries across the country report receiving calls from people claiming to represent Medicare, Social Security or an insurance company, saying new benefits cards are being issued or that the beneficiary's file must be updated.
"The scam artist asks the citizen to verify or provide their personal banking information, which is then used to commit theft using the person's identity," Swanson said in a statement. "Callers involved in this crime ring may be extremely aggressive, calling over and over, and at all times of the day, in an attempt to wear down the potential victim. These criminals will say anything to try to gain a person's trust."
The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services and the Social Security Administration do not call beneficiaries to ask them to disclose financial information in order to get a new card, Swanson said.
"These fraudulent callers may claim that they can improve the benefits. Do not believe these claims, and do not carry on a conversation with the caller," Swanson said. "If you receive a call asking you to disclose your bank account or other financial information, hang up immediately. These are criminals, and by speaking with the callers, even to ask them to stop calling, they may be encouraged to continue calling your telephone number."

Remembering Wabash Coach Bob Brockby Brent Harris • January 17, 2012 Share:
Former Wabash College basketball coach Bob L. Brock died Sunday afternoon at the age of 89.
Brock served as the head basketball coach of the Little Giants from1953 to 1965. His 114 victories in 12 seasons are third on the Wabash all-time wins list.
Brock came to Wabash after successful coaching stints at Richland Township, where he won two Indiana high school sectional titles, and Tell City High School, where he served as head coach for one season.
As the coach of the Little Giants, Brock led his team to the NCAA College Division Regional Tournament in 1958, 1959, 1960, and 1961 — the only coach in Wabash history to take teams to four consecutive NCAA tournament appearances. His 1960-61 team defeated Butler University 68-61 to record the 600th win in Wabash basketball history.
Brock (in photo left with star player Charlie Bowerman '61) was inducted into the Wabash College Athletics Hall of Fame in 1989.
A 1940 graduate of Clay City High School, Brock attended Indiana State Teachers College, where he played basketball for former Crawfordsville High School head coach Dave Glascock.
Brock served in the U.S. Marine Corps from 1942 to 1945, serving in the South Pacific. After World War II, he returned to Indiana State to play for coaches Glenn Curtis and John Wooden.
Bill Boone '60, one of Brock's former players, remembers his coach as a fair man who was an important part of his life.
"I have thought a lot about my days playing for Coach Brock in the 50's," Boone said. "I probably spent more quality time with my two basketball coaches, Coach Jack Hester at Ladoga and Coach Brock at Wabash, than I did with any other male figure in my life.
"Coach Brock treated everybody the same. It didn't matter whether your father was a big Wabash contributor or whether he was never able to give dime like my father. You played or didn't play based on what you could do for the team on the floor. I treasure my days at Wabash, both for the influence of Coach Brock in my life and the relationships that I had with the greatest teammates in the world. He was truly Some Little Giant."
"Coach Brock mentored many young Wabash men during his outstanding career," legendary scorer Charlie Bowerman '61 said. "Evidence of his caring for his players off the court is demonstrated by the continuing relationship with so many after graduation. Former players always made it a point to stop and see Coach Brock during visits to Crawfordsville.
"Coach Brock was a great tactician and strategist. His great achievements were always highlighted in games against Butler. Coach Brock developed a 'match up' zone which Coach (Tony) Hinkle of Butler could never quite figure out. One of Coach Brock's fondest memories was the five-overtime game in which Wabash defeated Butler 110 to 108. After that game Coach Hinkle informed Coach Brock that Butler would no longer be able to play a home and home game with Wabash. Coach Brock delightfully reminded Coach Hinkle that the contract between the two schools called for a home and home contest each year. One of the highlights of my career was having him as my coach and friend."
Robert Wedgeworth, who also played for Brock, remembered his former coach's no-nonsense approach to the game.
"Just before a home game at Chadwick Court an opposing coach came up to Coach Brock and asked if we were going to play the national anthem or say the pledge of allegiance before we start play," Wedgeworth recalled. "Brock said, 'No, we just sing "Old Wabash" and start the game!'"
Brock is survived by his wife, Nadine Ley, along with their three children, four grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren.
Funeral services will be held at Christ's United Methodist Church on Friday, January 20 at 11 a.m. Burial will be at the Maple Grove Cemetery in Clay City. Calling will be from 4-7 p.m. on Thursday, January 19 at Hunt and Son Funeral Home, and one hour prior to the Friday services at the church. Memorials can be made to Christ's United Methodist Church.

This is the older of the two standard range Karuizawas. There seem to have been expressions of this that are very different in character. Some reviews have talked of a fruity, warming tipple. I found nothing like that here although the nose (honey and lemon) seemed to be gesturing in that direction. The taste was dominated by dry, tight saltiness. There were very restrained and distant notes of tobacco, smoke and liquorice near the finish, but it was very much a one chord whisky. I didn't dislike it. In a certain context, it might work very well. With a cigar, perhaps?
Reviews by others
There are at least three different Whisky Magazine reviews of a Karuizawa 17: Issue 26, Issue 56 and Issue 64. Only that last one seems to bear any resemblance to my impressions.
