A Flying V for my son Jake

Jake has just started to play guitar and has learned as much in the last few weeks as I did int he first year! He wants a flying V so I'm building it for his 17th birthday in August.
The wood for the body is from that pine dining room table and the neck another leg from the table that my ukulele necks came from. It's not supposed to be an exact copy of a Gibson more like a mix of both models plus a bit of what I fancy. (Like a wrap round bridge) Should be fun to play, I hope he'll lend it to me sometimes!

Moth and Flame

we were like moths – hovering
around a flame – appealing…
caressing the edges of our kindred spirits –
enticing our souls
with the promise of
a life other than what has been…
like moths, we hovered – closer…
as if by hypnosis – we hovered closer still…
and in a trance, our wings started to burn…

ASU Civil War Lecture Series to Examine Counter-Insurgency

November 08, 2011

The Angelo State University lecture series commemorating the 150th Anniversary of the Civil War will explore the guerilla and irregular warfare of the time and its applications to today during a presentation at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 15, on the ASU campus.

“Guerilla Warfare, Counter-Insurgency and the Lessons of the Civil War” will feature presentations by Dr. Kenneth J. Heineman, head of ASU’s History Department, on “General Thomas Ewing Jr. and the Missouri Borderlands,” and Dr. Robert S. Ehlers Jr., director of ASU’s Center for Security Studies, on “Aftermath: The Truisms, Continuities and Discontinuities of Irregular Warfare.” The presentation will be moderated by Col. Mike Buck, former head of the Aerospace Studies Department at ASU.

The lecture is open free to the public in the C.J. Davidson Conference Center in the Houston Harte University Center at 1910 Rosemont. The program is the third of seven public presentations that will address various aspects of the Civil War during the 2011-12 academic year.

The Civil War speaker series is jointly sponsored by multiple ASU departments, including the History Department, Center for Security Studies, West Texas Collection, Multicultural Center and Air Force ROTC, as well as Fort Concho and the Concho Valley Civil War Roundtable, to commemorate the watershed even in American history.

Heineman said Angelo State’s “Civil War 150th Commemoration Discussion Series” will continue through April with ASU and local historians addressing various topics related to Civil War personalities, events and ramifications. All programs are scheduled at either ASU’s Davidson Center or in the Fort Concho Commissary.

Other presentations in the Civil War series will be:

?“Virtual Staff Ride of the Gettysburg Battlefield,” 7 p.m. Jan. 24, Davidson Center; Orientation Leader of the Staff Ride: Dr. Bill Taylor; Discussants: Dr. Kanisorn Wongsrichanalai, “Day 2 – Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain,” and Dr. Bruce Bechtol, “Day 3 – George Pickett;” Moderator: Dr. Maurice Fortin.

?“Emancipation, 1862,” 2 p.m. Feb 12, Fort Concho Commissary; Panelists: Dr. Kanisorn Wongsrichanalai, “The Abolitionist Stance,” and Dr. David Dewar, “The Moderate Republican View;” Moderator: Joe Muñoz.

?“Civil War/Total War,” 7 p.m. March 20, Fort Concho Commissary; Panelists: Cory Robinson, “Before San Angelo, Benjamin Grierson Dropped by on Mississippi,” and Dr. Kenneth Heineman: “William Tecumseh Sherman Demonstrated that War is Hell;” Moderator: Dr. Robert Ehlers.

?“A New Birth of Freedom: The Post-Civil War World,” 7 p.m. April 17, Davidson Center; Roundtable: Dr. John Klingemann, “Mexico, 1910,” Dr. Joe Zheng, “China, 1911” and Dr. Rob Nalbandov, “Georgia, 1989;” Moderator: Dr. Kenneth Heineman.

Heineman said the goal of the lecture series is to engage the community in reflection on the Civil War and its impact, even on contemporary society. He said the lecture series would also be a learning experience for secondary school teachers and their students.

A wake up call for us all...

A bitch woke up hoping it was all just a nightmare...

2 cups coffee, 1 Claritin, 2 government regulated fake-assed Sudafed, 2 Excedrin and cigs...

This morning, Katie Couric was wading through the sewage in New Orleans…her nose screwed up and her shirt crisp and white.

“Most Americans are shocked that so many people were living in poverty!”…Katie said as her cameraman stood knee deep in shit-water trying to get her good side.

That, Katie, is both bullshit and the motherfucking problem.

A wake up call for us all…

A bitch does not see the Katrina fucktitude as a wake up call for conservatives alone. People will find a way to absolve themselves of their role in this shit. 52% of this country voted for Scooter…to address the role that his fuck-ups played in this disaster would be to self-indict, and people are not known to do that without a fight.

Why are we moving swiftly to the blame game and not looking at our own behavior? To really change our environment don’t we have to examine all the folks playing in the pool?

Katrina needs to be a wake up call for all of us.

Liberals…before we feast on the carcass of republican moral supremacy we need to examine our own behavior. Where were Hillary, Kerry and Dean? Where are our so-called liberal leaders? That’s right…sitting in a conference room with their public relations hack trying to find the right angle on this shit. Lawd knows no power hungry liberal with an eye on the presidency would choose to speak his or her mind at a time like this! No! Better to indulge in spin and examine the polls first. Motherfuckers.

We need new leadership and we need to stop looking to the same fuckers who fucked up previously for that leadership. Anyone who has pontificated about how now is not a time for politics needs to have his or her name erased from the leadership list. Anyone who hasn’t raised his or her voice in outrage needs to explain why! And this bitch would like to see my fellow liberals call out our own on their bullshit too. This is how they beat us, chil’ren. It is time to take back our party and restore traditional DEMOCRATIC values back to the platform.

The working class needs to cease separating itself from the issue of poverty. If your ass is living paycheck to paycheck then your ass is one paycheck away from being evicted and having your car repossessed. Stop deluding yourself that “those people” are living such uncertain lives. “We” are living uncertain lives. There, but for the grace of Gawd, goes this bitch!

Black people need to step back and examine how we abandoned our poor along with the rest of America. This bitch has been hollering for years about the apathetic, middle class, got your ass a degree and now you don’t want to be seen as up from slavery bitches who can’t spare one hour a week to fucking participate in the lives of a fellow black woman. My own ass grew up so far from the city that a bitch was shocked to learn how fucking black St. Louis is! This is our creation too…black churches that condemn gays but turn the other way at chil'ren having chil'ren and rampant hetero adultery…middle class blacks who attend church in the hood but are too busy to swing by and teach a literacy class…black intellectuals who are so removed from the struggle that they refer to their own people as something other than black…black princesses and princes who play the celebrity game while seeking to exploit poor black’s obsession with material items by branding some sad assed perfume as the new cool $200/ounce item worth selling your soul for.

No, my ass is not done…poor blacks that act like they are the first generation to be fucking poor. Every fucking generation of my family was poor and they still found a way to be clean, get an education and seek out industry. Poverty is not a blank check for ignorant assed behavior, motherfuckers. Having a baby is not a ticket to a complete lack of self-respect and dignity!

There was a time when the most revered black women were our teachers and nurses…now our children idolize young women who spend half their time confusing their own sexualized exploitation with feminism and the rest of their time trying to maintain the popularity their "black woman in heat" media image has created. Take a moment and search out dignity, pride and personal responsibility…you know, the kind of shit you find in your soul not the motherfucking mall.

Before we cast a shadow on the system we must examine how we all surrendered our own to that system.

American poverty was not created in some distant far away land then dropped into our cities and rural communities in the dead of night. Poverty is right in front of us…yet invisible, as the reactions of both liberals and conservatives demonstrate.

If this is to be a true examination then we must examine all the angles. Otherwise, we’ll just throw money at the problem then settle down for Thanksgiving dinner having convinced ourselves that this catastrophe is fixed and could never happen again. At that point, what separates our behavior from “their” behavior?

One more time…how many people in your community live in poverty? There are programs in desperate need of volunteers…not your money, but your time. There are communities in desperate need of your presence…the visual confirmation that not all people are the same, not all women have to hustle for the car note, not all people self-medicate their depression away, not all broke assed motherfuckers resort to crime, not all gay people are white, not all feminists are lesbians, not all lesbians are feminists, not all white people hate you and not all black people love your ass.

Looking at the failure of others is often easier than examining what we ourselves have failed to do.

A bitch's eyes are open, chil’ren, and focused as much on a bitch’s role as the role of the other side.

You really know how to say it, ABB. I wish your posts were syndicated in all the major newspapers. Everyone needs a daily dose of ABB. I look forward to your posts for my daily reality check.

Tiger Lilly said...

Maybe you should be the one running for public office! You have it together, and I'd vote for ya. Just a thought.

CrankyProf said...

You are so eloquent.

Even if people made an effort to do something themselves -- if everyone reading this blog went out and volunteered for just ONE HOUR a week...if churches encourages such volunteerism...not just "gimme money," but giving time and talent and ATTENTION...

Think of the difference.

Check out my pet charity -- http://www.josephspeople.org

We help the underemployed and unemployed get their shit straight, get a resume together, get decent clothing and help them job-seach. We also help find (and fund) insurance for the uninsured and housing for those who were made homeless by losing their job.

"Americans like to talk about (or be told about) Democracy but, when put to the test, usually find it to be an 'inconvenience.' We have opted instead for an authoritarian system disguised as a Democracy. We pay through the nose for an enormous joke-of-a-government, let it push us around, and then wonder how all those assholes got in there."
---Frank Zappa

Hammer said...

Hey again ABB:
So, I think what you are talking about is a hot topic. I love it.

What concerns me is the desire of the un-poor, working poor, etc. to make the poverty striken (sleeping on the street in St. Louis, etc) people of the world like THEM. I get really concerned when people say things like "help them get their shit together" as if poor people are not together? Some of the wisest people I've talked to have been homeless on the streets. Also, when you try to impose your will upon people (not that you ever would ABB, I know better!) you immediately draw this line between US and THEM. It's horrible. What we need to do (and that zionist bitch K.C. would never understand) is to destroy the barriers between US and THEM.

Of course this freaks people out: "I don't want to be lowered to THEIR level" they say.

The idea here is that we as democrats/liberals/humanitarians need to make the resources needed to be free and to make choices available to everyone. I said this earlier in response to Peggy. You can't make everyone the same BUT YOU CAN ASSURE THAT EVERYONE HAS THE RESOURCES TO BECOME WHAT THEY WANT TO BE. That's the issue. This issue pervades icky things like CAFTA, NAFTA, FTAA etc. Our government does not want people to have access to resources. This way, the Elite are maintained and the non-ELITE are continually fucked (and work to support the ELITE!) grrrr.

I like ABB am confused as to how the socioeconomic status of our fellow Americans seems recently unfolded.

I think everyone gets really afraid of talking about this stuff and it gets phased out somehow.

But, alas, I will continue (as will the ABB) to draw people BACK INTO the public and political arenas.

Thanks for being vocal ABB.

Shark-fu said...

Oh, but Che a bitch is not completely on board with your thoughts. My ass is actually talking about educating people, encouraging people and being a catalyst for growth...otherwise known as getting your shit together.

This bitch believes in the unlimited potential of every one.

These are murky waters and one should navigate them carefully or you may stumble face first into a vat of patronizing stereotypes.

A person living in poverty is not the same as an aesthetic seeking wisdom in the wilderness…

albiesgirl818 said...

Damn you're always on point. I too, am a black woman who grew up in the suburbs, a comfortable distance from poverty and the inner city. I am shocked, appalled and disgusted by what I have seen during this crisis and it has made me want to get involved and do alot more for black women and girls. I'm also much more interested in environmentalism as a result. I just wish it didn't take something so damned catastrophic for me to open my eyes. :(

Dixie said...

I'm saluting a bitch and hope that we all can take heed to this message.

Theresa Z said...

Bitch, you so rock!!!

cee said...

Your readers may be interested in the following story on Alternet, which hits the nail on the head....actually, two nails with one stroke, if you'll allow me to stretch a metaphor: the tragedy of New Orleans, the Gulf Coast and Katrina AND the appointment of Roberts by Bush to replace Renquist.

cats said...

preach it sister! and don't stop. God knows that in a few weeks we will all go back to forgetting that there are poor people out there. and God knows i am tired of having morality shoved down my throat, by so-called xtian groups and politicians, when poverty IS an issue of morality, perhaps even THE biggest morality issue there is.

keep being angry!

Hammer said...

As I said earlier ABB,
the point is the availability of Resources. resources include education, etc.

It's important to understand that not everyone want to get "their shit together" and the togetherness of their shit is independent of what "we" think is best for "them." All we can do is humanitarians is make the resources available. Upon availability and accessibility the individual must decide what to do with the resources.

Now, I understand your point. A big problem with poverty today is that the poor in this country don't know where to find the resources and see that they are pretty much hidden. (there are resources taken and hidden from all of us in the world). I don't want to come off as saying "if they don't take the opportunity it's their problem." Clearly, that's not the way I think. But I do feel that upon availability and relatively easy access to resources would decrease the poverty status of the poor.

Now, ABB, my question to you is: is the definition of "together" universal? What about those of us who do not want to be 'together' within the hyper-capitalist American society? What about those of us who choose poverty as a path toward freedom? I mean, this is the problem with St. Louis' 10 yr plan (basically designed to sweep the poor under the rug)...the primary example of the 10yr plan success is a white guy (did you see this on the news?)

It's like, okay, all the homeless I see (except for the HOT HORNY HOMELESS) are African American, problem 1.
Problem 2: there have been repeated protests on Washington to stop the 10-yr plan and stop the 'progress' associated with St. Louis' recent 'urban' development (i love how the use of the word 'urban' changes: Don't go to that 'urban' area" or " look at the "Urban" development."

Anyway, I think the real solution is to make the resources available, allow for independence and individuality to utilize the resources.

I do think it is important to EDUCATE the poor on finding and utilizing the resources.

So, I really believe we are thinking the same way...

I also agree that being a catalyst is important. I don't know what you mean by growth, but I'll let you explain that.

I said this earlier on your blog: Everyone feels like they need to be the VOICE of the poor, etc (as activist this is a general rule) HOWEVER, being the voice of the poor isn't helping them. We need to encourage and support their voices. When the time comes we can stand SIDE BY SIDE with our brothers and sisters. Create unity!!

Anyway...kind of rambling. I hate typing at work when people are hovering...grrrr.

peace (we should totally do coffee and cigs!)

How's this for an idea: Every blogger pick the same day and post just one word--IMPEACH.

Eva said...

AMEN AMEN AMEN, Got me about to get "happy" in my office!

monkey said...

this monkey had to settle down and take a few breaths after reading some of the comments here.
che, i admit to being confused and a wee-bit frustrated by your posts. perhaps i am interpreting them incorrectly, that remains to be seen.
are you joking when you made this comment, "It's like, oaky, all the homeless I see (except for the HOT HORNY HOMELESS)are African Amercian, problem 1"?
jeezuz h. christ on a raft. what in the fuck are you talking about? you only see folks of african descent that are homeless? are we then to deduce that "HOT HORNY HOMELESS" are white? and really, what is a "HOT HORNY HOMELESS" person? i have worked with formerly homeless adults, and i can tell you with certainty, there is nothing "HOT" about being homeless.
che, i now ponder your thoughts on poverty. you said, "What about those of us who chose poverty as a path to freedom?". choosing poverty=downward mobility. is there some underlying shame of coming from wealth? can't access to resources, some of them financial, be utilized to assist those without means/less means? downward mobility is a frustrating concept for those of us who were born into poverty and still struggle below the line.
poverty is not glamerous. wondering if you'll eat or ever have a pair of shoes that fit right (or aren't hand-me-downs) is no "choice" for some. it's childhood--a life.
and i really get a fucking kick out of trust fund babies going to deisel to buy a pair of $190 jeans that look all kinds of thrift store (faded, yellowing, torn).
and i don't think many folks are attempting to wrongfully be the "voice of the poor". my voice rises from poverty. i don't speak for all, just myself. but our voices together make a difference. i will not sit in silence.
and a question for you, che (hammer), are you of latin descent, 'cause borrowing the name and face comes with a hefty price?

Derby said...

Props to ABB! But look, wealth isn't all it's cracked up to be. Rich people, white and black, are often profoundly unhappy, and I (raised middle-class white suburban) am seriously considering living my life a bit poorer than my parents. I visited McDowell County, WV - one of the most depressed counties in the US - and though they could do a better job of using the money they have; most need to fix their families and teach their kids better and stop using drugs; the sense of community, and their ability to keep it real (part of which comes from their low income) was very appealing to me.

J. Croft said...

Hello from a Angry, Awakened, Aware White Man ABB. From my vantage point all the convoluted, complicated problems are but symptoms of a few core problems we as Human Beings perpetuate:

*We leave fighting the evils of this society to others. Risking your own ass for a higher cause is too uncomfortable for today's mind conditioned 'Murikan, not to mention robs precious time from that electronic narcotic known as the TV set.

*We let others do our thinking for us. Every aspect of American society is centrally controlled in a devious, mostly indirect manner so as to maintain the illusion of freedom. Most conflicts in this country are deliberately engineered years in advance in what's known as the Hegelian Dialectic-problem, reaction, THEIR solution which assfucks us all! Most left/right debates are meant as a diversion to divide the People against each other while the criminals in the ten thousand dollar suits loot our resources, saddle us with technology designed to make us dependent on their industrial society, rob us with taxation at every level that would have made Americans 200 years ago revolt. They endlessly add to the laws they make us follow, dumb us down in their state schools to be good little debt slaves, rob us of our God Given Right to Arms for protection-from THEM!

I'm at freedomguide.blogspot.com, drop by would ya?

Remember last summer when the New York Post let their resident curmudgeon, Steve Cuozzo, loose on Times Square and he “reported” that the bike lanes and pedestrian plazas were killing businesses north of 47th Street? Well, a new study pretty much refutes him entirely and finds that the area has become what the New York Times describes as “a magnet for commerce as well as tourists. And get this, the economic uptick extends all the way to 53rd Street or five blocks past Cuozzo’s so called “murder” zone:

The Times Square district directly and indirectly contributes one-tenth of all of the jobs in the city and $1 of every $9 of economic activity, says the study, which was commissioned by the Times Square Alliance, the de facto chamber of commerce for the district. That amounts to $110 billion in annual economic activity — about equal to the output of Portland, Ore. — emanating from the district, which the report defines as roughly a block on each side of Broadway between 40th and 53rd Streets.

When skies are gray, there is nothing better than escaping away to feel the sun against your skin and the damp ocean air wrap around you like a warm hug. We recently spent a couple of days at The Cove Atlantis in the Bahamas which is a perfect place to go if you’re looking to play. I will admit… floating around the resort in a couple’s inner-tube looking up at the blue sky before being blasted through slides and under shark tanks was quite fun. And obviously, I had a waterproof camera just in case.

If you can’t get away this winter, I hope at least these images will make you feel slightly warmer.

New to KimDot...

Hello all! Here's a quick look at some new photos are available on my Etsy store here. I've been playing around with some new styles and I'm finding these ones so much fun!
Below are a few close ups. My personal favourite being the first one, it's the view from my bedroom window.
You can click on any of the images to see them in my store or to view all of them simply visit the main page.

If you want anything in a different size or style simply drop me a line! I'm very happy to collaborate :)

Also, I've sold out of my Little Crafter necklaces but I've a feeling they'll be back in the store soon.

The mod_perl Developer's Cookbook

By Geoffrey Young, Paul Lindner, Randy Kobes

Table of Contents

This chapter provides an in-depth mod_perl 2.0 installation coverage.

Before building mod_perl 2.0 you need to have its prerequisites installed. If you don't have them, download and install them first, using the information in the following sections. Otherwise proceed directly to the mod_perl building instructions.

The mod_perl 2.0 prerequisites are:

Downloading Stable Release Sources

If you are going to install mod_perl on a production site, you want to use the officially released stable components. Since the latest stable versions change all the time you should check for the latest stable version at the listed below URLs:

Getting Bleeding Edge Sources

If you really know what you are doing you can use the cvs/svn versions of the components. Chances are that you don't want to them on a production site. You have been warned!

Configuring and Installing Prerequisites

If you don't have the prerequisites installed yet, install them now.

  % cd perl-5.8.x
  % ./Configure -des

If you need the threads support, run:

  % ./Configure -des -Dusethreads

Most likely you don't want perl-support for threads enabled, in which case pass: -Uusethreads instead of -Dusethreads.

If you want to debug mod_perl segmentation faults, add the following ./Configure options:

  -Doptimize='-g' -Dusedevel

Now build it:

  % make && make test && make install

You need to have Apache built and installed prior to building mod_perl, only if you intend build a DSO mod_perl. If you intend to build a statically linked Apache+mod_perl, you only need to have the Apache source available (mod_perl will build and install Apache for you), you should skip this step.

  % cd httpd-2.x.xx
  % ./configure --prefix=$HOME/httpd/prefork --with-mpm=prefork
  % make && make install

Starting from 2.0.49, the Apache logging API escapes everything that goes to error_log, therefore if you're annoyed by this feature during the development phase (as your error messages will be all messed up) you can disable the escaping during the Apache build time:

Do not use that CFLAGS in production unless you know what you are doing.

Installing mod_perl from Binary Packages

As of this writing only the binaries for the Win32 platform are available, kindly prepared and maintained by Randy Kobes. See the documentation on Win32 binaries for details.

Some RPM packages can be found using rpmfind services, e.g.: However if you have problems using them, you have to contact those who have created them.

Installing mod_perl from Source

Building from source is the best option, because it ensures a binary compatibility with Apache and Perl. However it's possible that your distribution provides a solid binary mod_perl 2.0 package.

For Win32 specific details, see the documentation on Win32 installation.

Downloading the mod_perl Source

First download the mod_perl source.

Configuring mod_perl

To build mod_perl, you must also use the same compiler that Perl was built with. You can find that out by running perl -V and looking at the Compiler: section.

Like any other Perl module, mod_perl is configured via the Makefile.PL file, but requires one or more configuration options:

  % cd modperl-2.x.x
  % perl Makefile.PL <options>

where options is an optional list of key/value pairs. These options can include all the usual options supported by ExtUtils::MakeMaker (e.g., PREFIX, LIB, etc.).

The following sections give the details about all the available options, but let's mention first an important one.

Configuration options are discussed in Build Options.

Dynamic mod_perl

Before you proceed, make sure that Apache 2.0 has been built and installed. mod_perl cannot be built before that.

It seems that most users use pre-packaged Apache installation, most of which tend to spread the Apache files across many directories (i.e. not using --enable-layout=Apache, which puts all the files under the same directory). If Apache 2.0 files are spread under different directories, you need to use at least the MP_APXS option, which should be set to a full path to the apxs executable. For example:

  % perl Makefile.PL MP_APXS=/path/to/apxs

For example RedHat Linux system installs the httpd binary, the apxs and apr-config scripts (the latter two are needed to build mod_perl) all in different locations, therefore they configure mod_perl 2.0 as:

  % perl Makefile.PL MP_APXS=/path/to/apxs \
    MP_APR_CONFIG=/another/path/to/apr-config <other options>

However a correctly built Apache shouldn't require the MP_APR_CONFIG option, since MP_APXS should provide the location of this script.

If however all Apache 2.0 files were installed under the same directory, mod_perl 2.0's build only needs to know the path to that directory, passed via the MP_AP_PREFIX option:

  % perl Makefile.PL MP_AP_PREFIX=$HOME/httpd/prefork

Static mod_perl

Before you proceed make sure that Apache 2.0 has been downloaded and extracted. mod_perl cannot be built before that.

If this is an svn checkout and not an official distribution tarball, you need to first run:

  % cd httpd-2.0
  % ./buildconf

To enable statically linking mod_perl into Apache, use the MP_USE_STATIC flag like this:

  % perl Makefile.PL MP_USE_STATIC=1 \
    MP_AP_PREFIX=$HOME/src/httpd-2.x \

MP_AP_PREFIX must point to an extracted Apache 2.0 source tree.

This will configure Apache by passing MP_AP_CONFIGURE to Apache's ./configure script.

Here is an example:

  % cd ~/src
  % tar -xvzf perl-5.8.x.tar.gz
  % cd perl-5.8.x
  % ./Configure -des
  % make install
  % cd ..
  % tar -xvzf httpd-2.0.xx.tar.gz
  % tar -xvzf mod_perl-2.x.x.tar.gz
  % perl5.8.x Makefile.PL \
    MP_AP_PREFIX="$HOME/src/httpd-2.0.xx" \
  % make
  % make test
  % make install
  % ./httpd -l | grep perl

mod_perl Build Options

Boolean Build Options

The following options are boolean and can be set with MP_XXX=1 or unset with MP_XXX=0, where XXX is the name of the option.

Accept default values for all would-be prompts.

Generate XS code from parsed source headers in xs/tables/$httpd_version. Default is 1, set to 0 to disable.

Build mod_perl as a DSO ( This is the default.

Build static mod_perl (mod_perl.a).

Build Apache2::*.xs as static extensions.

Link with libgtop and enable libgtop reporting.

MP_COMPAT_1X=1 or a lack of it enables several mod_perl 1.0 back-compatibility features, which are deprecated in mod_perl 2.0. It's enabled by default, but can be disabled with MP_COMPAT_1X=0 during the build process.

When this option is disabled, the following things will happen:

Turn on debugging (-g -lperld) and tracing.

Enable maintainer compile mode, which sets MP_DEBUG=1 and adds the following gcc flags:

  -DAP_DEBUG -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wstrict-prototypes \
  -Wmissing-declarations \

If gcc version 3.3.2+ is found, not compiling on OpenBSD, and -Wdeclaration-after-statement is not already part of the gcc flags add it.

To use this mode Apache must be build with --enable-maintainer-mode.

Enable tracing

Non-Boolean Build Options

set the non-boolean options with MP_XXX=value.

Path to apxs. For example if you've installed Apache 2.0 under /home/httpd/httpd-2.0 as DSO, the default location would be /home/httpd/httpd-2.0/bin/apxs.

The command-line arguments to pass to httpd's configure script.

Apache installation prefix, under which the include/ directory with Apache C header files can be found. For example if you've installed Apache 2.0 in directory \Apache2 on Win32, you should use:

If Apache is not installed yet, you can point to the Apache 2.0 source directory, but only after you've built or configured Apache in it. For example:

Though in this case make test won't automatically find httpd, therefore you should run t/TEST instead and pass the location of apxs or httpd, e.g.:

  % t/TEST -apxs /home/stas/httpd/prefork/bin/apxs

  % t/TEST -httpd /home/stas/httpd/prefork/bin/httpd

This option exists to make the lives of package maintainers easier. If you aren't a package manager you should not need to use this option.

Apache installation destination directory. This path will be prefixed to the installation paths for all Apache-specific files during make install. For instance, if Apache modules are normally installed into /path/to/httpd-2.0/modules/ and MP_AP_DESTDIR is set to /tmp/foo, the will be installed in:

If APR wasn't installed under the same file tree as httpd, you may need to tell the build process where it can find the executable apr-config, which can then be used to figure out where the apr and aprutil include/ and lib/ directories can be found.

Add to compiler flags, e.g.:

(Notice that -Werror will work only with the Perl version 5.7 and higher.)

Read build options from given file. e.g.:

On Win32, in order to build the APR and APR::* modules so as to be independent of, a static library is first built containing the needed functions these modules link into. The option

specifies the name that this library has. The default used is aprext. This option has no effect on platforms other than Win32, as they use a different mechanism to accomplish the decoupling of APR and APR::* from

mod_perl-specific Compiler Options

Change the default mod_perl's 8K IO buffer size, e.g. to 16K:

mod_perl Options File

Options can also be specified in the file makepl_args.mod_perl2 or .makepl_args.mod_perl2. The file can be placed under $ENV{HOME}, the root of the source package or its parent directory. So if you unpack the mod_perl source into /tmp/mod_perl-2.x/ and your home is /home/foo/, the file will be searched in:

If the file specified in MP_OPTIONS_FILE is found the makepl_args.mod_perl2 will be ignored.

Options specified on the command line override those from makepl_args.mod_perl2 and those from MP_OPTIONS_FILE.

If your terminal supports colored text you may want to set the environment variable APACHE_TEST_COLOR to 1 to enable the colored tracing which makes it easier to tell the reported errors and warnings, from the rest of the notifications.

Re-using Configure Options

Since mod_perl remembers what build options were used to build it if first place, you can use this knowledge to rebuild itself using the same options. Simply chdir(1) to the mod_perl source directory and run:

  % cd modperl-2.x.
  % perl -MApache2::Build -e rebuild

Compiling mod_perl

Next stage is to build mod_perl:

  % make

Testing mod_perl

When mod_perl has been built, it's very important to test that everything works on your machine:

  % make test

If something goes wrong with the test phase and want to figure out how to run individual tests and pass various options to the test suite, see the corresponding sections of the bug reporting guidelines or the Apache::Test Framework tutorial.

Installing mod_perl

Once the test suite has passed, it's a time to install mod_perl.

  % make install

If you install mod_perl system wide, you probably need to become root prior to doing the installation:

  % su
  # make install

If Something Goes Wrong

If something goes wrong during the installation, try to repeat the installation process from scratch, while verifying all the steps with this document.

If the problem persists report the problem.

Maintainer is the person(s) you should contact with updates, corrections and patches.

Boost performance with a RAM drive

Boost performance with a RAM drive

We’ve previously covered the benefits of using spare RAM for disk-caching but there’s more than one way to put extra RAM to use: it may at first seem counter-intuitive to use RAM drive software to boost system performance — after all the contents are lost when you shut down — but it all comes down to how you use it.

The benefits of a RAM drive

Naturally a RAM drive gains the key performance metrics of system RAM: very low seek times and very fast transfer rates — faster than any hard drive or SSD can hope to match. Creating a RAM drive allows you to take advantage of these features for any tasks that might benefit from improved performance. Popular examples include audio image and video editing software that can use temporary ‘scratch space’ to accelerate its performance.

But a RAM drive has benefits for home users too — used as a cache for your browser it can speed up web surfing as a location for Windows temp directories it can speed up file operations like archiving and installing programs and if you make it large enough you can even run games from it for insanely fast loading times. It has extra benefits depending on your setup — laptops often with slower 5400rpm drives can get a nice speed boost. SSDs although already very fast can benefit by using a RAM drive for temporary file operations (like the browser cache) and spare unnecessary writes in turn increasing its longevity.

And the fact that data is lost when the power is turned off is often seen as a security benefit: all cached data will be irrevocably cleared as opposed to deleting on a hard drive where software could still recover fragments of data. There are lots of RAM drive products available both free and paid but we’ll focus on just one for this tutorial â€“ RAMDisk. We’ve chosen this one because it comes with a number of nifty features that make it easy to use plus it has a free version that limits you to a maximum 4GB drive which is plenty for most home needs anyway.

Before we begin head here and download and install Dataram’s RAMDisk software.

Configuring RAMDisk

The options are pretty straightforward but some bear covering in greater detail:

Setting up temp in RAMDisk
Telling Windows to use the RAM disk for storing temporary data.

  • Size. When setting the size of the disk don’t be overzealous. Remember that any RAM you allocate to the RAM disk won’t be usable by Windows for programs so don’t make it so large that you cause Windows to use its swap file and thus slow your system down. If you have a 4GB system you won’t want to allocate more than 1GB. For 6GB systems and more a 2-4GB RAM drive will give you more flexibility.
  • Format. For format type choose FAT32. You can also leave it unformatted and then format it in Windows as with any other drive for example to NTFS but FAT32 is faster than NTFS for smaller volumes and especially for the type of data you’re likely to use.
  • Image saving. Under the ‘Load and Save’ tab you’ll find one of the more useful features: you can optionally save the contents of the RAM disk to a hard drive at shutdown and have it loaded again at startup. This is useful if you want to use the RAM drive to launch and run programs (including games) and so need the data to persist. Note that depending on the size of the RAM disk this may slow down both bootup and shutdown times for Windows as the image is loaded and saved respectively (though RAMDisk will compress it for you to reduce the impact at bootup).
  • AutoSave: If you do want to use it as a persistent drive the ‘AutoSave’ option will regularly save the image at the specified interval. Note this interval only triggers if the contents of the RAM drive are modified which helps to reduce unnecessary hard drive writes.

The uses of a RAM drive are really limited only by understandably the size of the drive you create. Using a persistent drive and installing programs to it is easy enough so we’ll show you instead a little more complicated setup to speed up browsing and Windows temp directory usage using a non-persistent drive.

RAMDisk Configuration Utility
RAMDisk comes with some useful features that make it easy to use it to boost system performance.

RAMDisk as a browser and temp cache

  1. Start RAMDisk and set the format to FAT32 and size to 1GB or more then click ‘Start RAMDisk’.
  2. When Windows says it’s found a new drive open it in Explorer and create a ‘Cache’ and ‘Temp’ directory. Under the Cache directory create another one for each browser you’ll be using (‘IE’ ‘Firefox’ and so on).
  3. In the RAMDisk settings click the ‘Load and Save’ tab and hit ‘Save disk image now’.
  4. Then tick ‘Load Disk Image at Startup’. Do not tick ‘Save image at shutdown’ unless you want the contents to be persistent. This way the image you’ve already saved an ’empty’ RAM disk is loaded each bootup with your directories already created.
  5. Finally we need to tell any browsers and Windows to use the RAM disk.

To redirect IE’s cache go to ‘Tools > Internet Options’. Then under ‘Browsing History’ click ‘Settings’ followed by ‘Move folder…’ (your RAM drive letter and browser cache directory).

To redirect the Firefox cache you need to dig a little deeper. Launch Firefox and in the URL bar enter ‘about:config’. Next in the search bar type in ‘cache’. If it’s not already present right-click and select ‘New > String’ and add the following
configuration key: ‘browser.cache.disk.parent_directory’. For the value of the key enter the path to the RAM drive and Firefox cache directory you made earlier.

To redirect Chrome the easiest method is to edit the Chrome shortcut. Just append the following to the end (after ‘chome.exe’): ‘–disk-cache-dir=F:CacheChrome –media-cache-dir=F:CacheChrome’ using the appropriate path to your RAM drive and cache directory.

    1GB is plenty for browser caching but not so much if you also want Windows to use it as a scratch drive for temporary files. If you create a drive one of at least 2GB or more you can also do the following:

    • Go to the Windows Control Panel and click ‘System & Security > System > Advanced system settings’ (in the left-hand pane). From here click the ‘Advanced’ tab and at the bottom click ‘Environment Variables…’. At the top you’ll see two variables defined for TEMP and TMP click on each and click ‘Edit…’ and type in the path to your Temp folder on your RAM drive.

    Note however the following caveat: while you can restrict cache size for the browsers you can’t do so for the Windows temp directory. If anything should require more space than is available in the temp directory the action will likely fail and Windows will report it ran out of disk space. The most likely scenario for this to happen is decompressing large archives of a few GB or more since Windows writes data temporarily to the Temp directory when it does so.

    This aside using a RAM disk can work well for TEMP because the contents aren’t needed once Windows shuts down and often you’ll find the temp directory on your hard disk filled with gunk and taking up disk space that Windows fails to clean out. With a RAM disk this isn’t an issue.

    RAMDisk benchmark
    Using a RAM disk allows you to take advantage of insane speeds and accelerates programs and tasks.

    TechLife the next generation of tech magazine

    • Robert Paulson

      I use a RAM disk for a lot of different things… mostly because (1) it saves A LOT of writes to the SSD and (2) it eliminates annoying delays in games and delays in a lot of miscellaneous programs. You might just install (most) everything to the SSD to avoid delays but the SSD will probably fill up fast and that’s not good especially when combined with too many unnecessary writes. You might ask “how do all of the programs get installed on a (single?) RAM disk in addition to all of those (unnecessary) temporary files and aren’t they all lost when the computer is turned off?” (Note that data is only “lost” in the event of a power failure or user error.) My solution was to install 32GB of RAM and have a 20GB RAM disk initiated on every startup. –Install everything you can to the RAM disk (one at a time and then archive the data) and create a batch file to run the installed program – the batch file copies the program to physical memory (up to 20GB in my case), runs the program, and when the program ends only the files that have changed are saved back to a hard disk or SSD). Writes to the SSD and program delays are then reduced by a huge amount.

Thermal Paste Roundup August 2008 | Reports

By: Kenneth Kwok and Jonathan Kwan
August 9, 2008

It has been over a year since we've reviewed thermal paste. With the previous presented to us being Arctic Cooling's excellent MX-2 thermal compound in July 2007 and reviewed August 2007 -- it was, no doubt, excellent thermal paste; and were able to achieve a score of 8.1/10 on our Number Ratings. Thermal paste may seem so insignificant -- it can be easily overlooked to an extent that many people simply buy what they've heard of the most, and not necessarily what is the best. Thermal paste may 'seem' to be all the same with each other; but each is actually quite unique with different companies making different formulas for synthetic compounds or metal compounds. But all serves the same purpose to allowing better transfer between the cooled device and the cooler; filling microscopic valleys in surfaces that has microscopic imperfections to maximize heat transfer efficiency at its source. Today, we will be looking into several different brands of claimed 'high performance' thermal paste and see which one performs the best. Our four-way competition today includes the 'classic' Arctic Silver 5, our previous winner Arctic Cooling MX-2, the price competitive Tuniq TX-2, and the NT-H1 paste from silent PC enthusiasts' favorite company Noctua.

Let us first look at the classic Arctic Silver 5, which has been one of the longest selling and still one of the best known thermal interface material brand -- but after years and no new changes to the product, how well does it hold up to the reputation it has built up? It is still widely sold throughout major markets such as North America and Europe. Normally when purchased, the packaging for the Arctic Silver 5 is pretty much non-existent -- all you'll get is the familiar microscopic gray syringe. It only comes in the two sizes with no other forms of packaging commonly available. The 3.5 gram tube as seen above, is completely made of plastic and has a small black cap to cover the tip, but the syringe pressure applier at the top can be pulled out to act as a really effective thermal paste spreader. Application wise, Arctic Silver 5 is not runny, and spreads generally very well -- it sticks to surfaces easily as it is really 'heavy' paste for easy application, which is very good. Overall, the syringe design is solid and works well for applying the thermal paste itself, even if it's not the prettiest to look at. But as far as thermal paste goes, it's function over form/packaging, right?

Arctic Silver 5 is a polysynthetic silver based thermal paste; which means it includes silver and multiple heat conductive synthetic ceramics in the paste. This makes the paste a very good conductor of heat, but even as it is formulated to conduct heat and not electricity, it is still somewhat conductive and can cause trouble in the right situation. Arctic Silver 5 needs about 200 hours of break-in time for it to reach its peak performance. It is available in a 3.5 gram tube and a 12 gram tube. A 3.5 gram tube will only last the user about 8 applications on average as per Arctic Silver's website. Realistically, the user would most likely only get around 6 applications. The 12 gram tube is much larger and would likely be able to last around 26 different applications as calculated.

Thermal Conductance: 350,000W/m2 °C (0.001 inch layer)
Thermal Resistance: 0.0045°C-in2/Watt (0.001 inch layer)
Average Particle Size: 0.49 microns <0.000020 inch
Extended Temperature Limits: Peak: –50°C to >180°C Long-Term: –50°C to 130°C
Performance: 3 to 12 degrees centigrade lower CPU full load core temperatures than standard thermal compounds or thermal pads when measured with a calibrated thermal diode embedded in the CPU core.
Coverage Area: Arctic Silver 5 is sold in 3.5 gram and 12 gram tubes. The 3.5 gram tube contains enough compound to cover at least 15 to 25 small CPU cores, or 6 to 10 large CPU cores, or 2 to 5 heat plates. At a layer 0.003" thick, the 3.5 gram tube will cover approximately 16 square inches.

3.5 gram tube: $7.95 USD
12 gram tube: $19.95 USD

Approximate Retail Price
3.5 gram tube: $5.99 USD
12 gram tube: $17.99 USD

Factoring in average retail price at press time, that's a calculated average of $1.72 per gram in 3.5 gram form and $1.50 per gram in 12 gram form.

No density information is given, so volume information is not available.

Next up is our August 2007 favorite, the Arctic Cooling MX-2, which is a fully synthetic non-metal based paste that contain absolutely no traces of metal particles. It's not electrically conductive, and we have accidentally spilled some into our LGA775 motherboard socket last year with zero side effects. Such pastes are becoming much of the norm in today's thermal pastes over metal particle based products. The packaging for the 4 gram tube of Arctic Cooling MX-2 is a blister pack containing the thermal paste tube inside; with Arctic Coolings's signature colors of black and white color scheme on the packaging. The 30 gram tube is almost identical in packaging -- the only difference is that instead of a blister pack, it comes in a box. Removing the cap at the bottom of the syringe allows paste to be easily and precisely pumped out the bottom for application. Arctic Cooling recommends applying a small amount in the middle of, say, a CPU, and spread it with the heatsink on top. The paste is wet and flows easily not not necessarily runny, making it very easy to apply -- but behaves much 'lighter' than Arctic Silver 5 as it does not contain any metal particles.

Arctic Cooling advertises their thermal paste as not only non-electrically conductive, but also low thermal resistance. This means that heat will transfer through this product easily. Theoretically, it has no break-in time, but it works the best after a day or two. Arctic Cooling MX-2 is available in the form of a 4 gram tube and a 30 gram tube. A 4 gram tube lasts for about 7-8 applications, while a 30 gram tube is for frequent builders and/or CPU heatsink swapping enthusiasts that need... well, a lot haha.

Density: 3.68 g/cm3
Viscosity: 2850 poise
Net Weight: 4g

* High Thermal Conductivity
* Low Thermal Resistance
* Non-Electrical Conductive
* Non-Capacitive
* Non-Curing
* Non-Corrosive
* No Bleeding
* Odorless

4 gram tube: $9.45 USD
30 gram tube: $44.95 USD

Approximate Retail Price
4 gram tube: $6.99 USD
30 gram tube: $39.95 USD

Factoring in average retail price at press time, that's a calculated average of $1.75 per gram in 4 gram form and $1.34 per gram in 30 gram form.

Since volume determines how many applications you would get, the calculated price to volume ratio is $6.41/mL in 4 gram form and $5.15/mL in 30 gram form.

Our third contestant we have is the Noctua NT-H1, a 'relatively newcomer' to the thermal paste market (When we got it anyways, which is January this year haha). Noctua is known to produce quiet and efficient computer thermal solutions; and their case fans and heatsinks that are highly regarded in the enthusiast market for both performance and quietness. The Noctua NT-H1 thermal paste's packaging is done with a standard non-blister clear plastic packaging with cardboard backing. Both the tube of thermal paste and its retain package retains the usual Noctua colors of burgundy, black and blue. The thermal paste itself, again comes in the form of a syringe.

Noctua's NT-H1 is yet another non-metal synthetic thermal compound, which means that it is fully non-conductive and won't risk shorting your components if you accidentally got some on undesired locations. Noctua's NT-H1 only comes in 1.4 mL (3.5 grams, not 3 grams, according to Noctua) tubes; 15 applications is specified by the manufacturer as the volume is greater than its competitors for its volume to weight ratio -- although we've yet to test this. But since it only comes in one size, this means that users who need a load of thermal paste won't be able to get any discounts in buying bulk. The $8.95 retail price makes this our most expensive paste tested today. Noctua's NT-H1 paste feels dry and somewhat light; making it hard to spread -- again, the manufacturer recommends putting a small amount in the middle of the applied surface and let the heatsink spread it. Break in time is minimal; we noticed no performance gain a few hours after application.

Volume: 1.4ml (for at least 15 applications)
Specific Gravity: 2.49 g/cm³
Color: gray
Recommended storage time (before use): up to 2 years
Recommended usage time (on the CPU): up to 3 years
Peak operating temperature: -50°C to +110°C
Recommended operating temperature: -40°C to +90°C

3.5 gram tube: $8.99 USD

Approximate Retail Price
3.5 gram tube: $8.95 USD

Factoring in average retail price at press time, that's a calculated average of $2.56 per gram in 3.5 gram form.

Since volume determines how many applications you would get, the calculated price to volume ratio is $6.40/mL in 3.5 gram form.

Finally, we have the Tuniq TX-2 thermal paste. Relatively new to the market (Again, we are counting the date we got it, which is May this year haha). Although the Tuniq brand may seem unknown to some, the company behind it is not. Tuniq is a subsidiary of Sunbeam Tech, a company specializing in computer cooling solutions ranging from heatsinks, case fans, to computer cases. Our Tuniq TX-2's retail packaging is very simple -- sealed in a plastic bag with nothing more than a bar code and its name at the top. The syringe itself is identical to the Arctic Cooling MX-2 syringe, even the label is black -- the only difference is the branding. Wait a minute, "MX-2", "TX-2" -- coincidence?

Pretty much all of the latest thermal pastes in the market right now are non-metal synthetic compounds. The Tuniq TX-2 is no exception, making this the third fully synthetic thermal paste that will be tested in today's report. Like Arctic Silver 5, the Tuniq TX-2 comes in a 3.5 gram tube -- no larger option is available. When it comes to application, the wet, easy to apply, and relatively light TX-2 compound behaves pretty much the same way Arctic Cooling's MX-2 does. Break in time is minimal; but I would give it around 2 days for peak performance. The 3.5 gram tube will probably last around 6 applications before it is all used up.

Appearance: Grey
Viscosity: 285000 cP
Thermal conductivity: 4.5W/mK
Operating temperature: -45°C ~ 200°C
Specific Gravity: 3.96 @ 25°C
Volume: 3.5g

* Low thermal resistance for superior heat transfer, 4.5W/mK
* Small molecular size makes a better contact between the heatsink and heatsource.
* Thin bond line for hi-efficiency conductivity
* Low bleed under high pressure
* Spreads easy - clean consistency
* Help the low-pressure clip design of cooler to achieve better cooling performance.* RoHS compliant
* Not Electrically conductive

3.5 gram tube: $5.99 USD

Approximate Retail Price
3.5 gram tube: $3.79 USD

Factoring in average retail price at press time, that's a calculated average of $1.09 per gram in 3.5 gram form.

Since volume determines how many applications you would get, the calculated price to volume ratio is $4.31/mL in 3.5 gram form.

Moving onto our tests, we obtained our results under the following conditions:

- All pastes were given an adequate amount of time to settle. Data is collected over time, and its peak consistent score is used as the result.
- Because tests were run on different days due to the reason listed above, our lab temperature is strictly controlled and air conditioned to maintain a temperature of 23 degrees Celsius.
- The platform used in testing are okaced in the exact same location and position in the room throughout all of our tests.
- Both the CPU and heatsink base were thoroughly cleaned off using 70% isopropyl rubbing alcohol between all tests.
- The test platform is turned on and idling for a minimum of 30 minutes to obtain idle test results. CPU load is maintained below 2% at all times.
- High CPU load results were obtained using Orthos Small FFTs tests for maximum heat generated by the processor, ran for a minimum of 30 minutes before results are taken.

CPU: Intel Pentium Dual Core E2140 @ 3.08GHz 1.4V (380MHz*8)
CPU Cooling: Asus Silent Knight II
Motherboard: Asus P5K-Deluxe/WiFi-AP
RAM: OCZ Reaper HPC PC2-8500 2x1GB

Operating System: Microsoft Windows XP Professional SP3

Using our Intel Pentium Dual Core E2140 running at 3.08GHz with 1.4V and our full copper Asus Silent Knight II heatsink, test results were obtained using the controlled conditions listed about. The results of all compared thermal pastes are quite comparable across the board. Arctic Silver 5 and Tuniq TX-2 managed to get recorded temperature of 32c, while the Arctic Cooling MX-2 and Noctua NT-H1 were able to bring it down two extra degrees to 30c -- besting the other two and tied each other.

In our load tests, our results were again quite comparable -- but not necessarily the same way as before. This time, the fully synthetic pastes all managed to get a load result of 62c, while the only polysynthetic silver paste, Arctic Silver 5, recorded a degree higher in our results of 63c. Arctic Silver 5, once the king of all thermal pastes and seems to be so invulnerable to challenges, is beaten by everyone else. It's interesting how history works.

Let's do a recap. Arctic Silver 5 comes in at $1.72 per gram in 3.5 gram form and $1.50 per gram in 12 gram form. Arctic Cooling's MX-2 comes in at $1.75 per gram in 4 gram form and $1.34 per gram in 30 gram form, price to volume ratio is $6.41/mL in 4 gram form and $5.15/mL in 30 gram form. Noctua's NT-H1 retails for about $2.99 per gram in 3 gram form, price to volume ratio is $6.40/mL in 3.5 gram form. Tuniq's TX-2 thermal compound comes in at $1.09 per gram in 3.5 gram form, price to volume ratio is $4.31/mL in 3.5 gram form. Noctua's paste appears to be the most expensive when it comes to weight, but in actual practicality volume calculation it is actually a few cents lower when compared to the average retail price of Arctic Cooling's MX-2. Tuniq's TX-2 is still the cheapest in all calculations. In our tests, Noctua's NT-H1 tied the Arctic Cooling MX-2 in performance. While it has excellent (Pretty much no) break time, it's not necessarily easy to apply due to its nature -- where the MX-2 is one of the easiest pastes to apply; also with very little required break time. But considering our performance numbers, most users should be glad that a small tube of Noctua NT-H1 paste comes with Noctua heatsinks. On the other hand, Tuniq's TX-2 tied Arctic Silver 5 in our idle tests and even beat it in our load tests -- and the best priced product of our report today at $1.09/gram and $4.31/mL, it offers a surprising good amount of performance for your money -- not to mention its easy-to-apply characteristic. Arctic Silver 5... you've had your glory, but it's time for you to retire.

Special thanks to Colin over at Arctic Silver, Patrick over at Arctic Cooling, Jakob over at Noctua, and Derek over at Tuniq for making this report possible.

Best Overall: Arctic Cooling MX-2 ($1.75/g & $6.41/mL @ 4 grams, $1.34/g & $5.15/mL @ 30 grams).
Best Value: Tuniq TX-2 ($1.09/g & $4.31/mL @ 3.5 grams)

I commonly edit .txt files on my PC (Notepad) and my Mac (using TextEdit) and store them in Dropbox. I would like also like to be able to edit these .txt files on my iOS devices. Every app that I've tried breaks the Windows-style line breaks; if I edit a .txt file, all line breaks are lost when I open that file in Notepad.

Is there any iOS app which can edit .txt files and preserve Windows-style line breaks? (Paid is OK, but cheaper is better.) I have tried iA Writer and Write 2.

This has nothing to do with Kenmore or Sears, these are made by Whirlpool and bought from them by Sears, it then became the property of Sears...same thing happening with the boxes with the Whirlpool name on them...

Title: Is a treatment delay in radical prostatectomy safe in individuals with low-risk prostate cancer?

Journal: J Sex Med 9(11):2961-9

Date: 2012 Nov

Abstract: INTRODUCTION: Many patients diagnosed with localized prostate cancer (PCa) are presented with several treatment modalities, which may require time to understand these options before making an informed decision regarding treatment. AIM: The aim of this study was to compare the effect of radical prostatectomy (RP) delay on postoperative functional outcomes and mortality in a North American population-based cohort. METHODS: Overall, 17,153 men treated with RP for non-metastatic clinical stage T1-2, low-grade PCa between years 1995 and 2005 within the U.S. Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Medicare-linked database were abstracted. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The effect of treatment delay (from PCa diagnosis to RP of >3 months) on pathological upstaging at surgery (≥pT3) and postoperative functional outcomes (urinary incontinence and erectile dysfunction) was examined using logistic regression analyses. The 10-year PCa mortality rates were computed using cumulative incidence rates. RESULTS: Overall, 2,576 (15%) patients underwent RP > 3 months after diagnosis. A treatment delay of >3 months was associated with a 24% and 33% higher rate of erectile dysfunction diagnosis and procedure, respectively (both P ≤ 0.001). Treatment delay was also associated with 6% higher rate of urinary incontinence procedure (P = 0.01). Furthermore, a dose-response effect was detected with respect to increasing durations of RP delay (≤3 vs. 3-5 vs. 5-9 vs. ≥9 months) the rates of erectile dysfunction and urinary incontinence diagnoses/procedures. Treatment delay was not associated with pathological upstaging and PCa mortality. CONCLUSIONS: Customarily, the timing of RP following biopsy is dictated by tumor aggressiveness. In general, patients with more unfavorable characteristics are operated sooner. This may obliterate the potential detriments of delayed RP. The treatment delay between biopsy and RP may result in more extensive periprostatic tissue resection and may adversely affect postoperative continence and erectile function.

Repix Review

Remix images using your fingers.

by Pu on April 19, 2013

Sometimes it does take a little more than a one-tap effect to give your photo the look you are looking for; you have to work a harder for it. There are a thousand iOS apps available that let you apply artistic filters by just tapping on a single button, but there are also apps that will offer you instruments to process photos more creatively by overlaying them with organic effects and brush strokes. Yes, a bit like in painting, but not quite. Repix is one of these latter apps.

Main Features

  • Full resolution saving available;
  • 20 effects (8 free + 12 via in-app purchase);
  • 6 crop ratios;
  • 8 photo filters;
  • Random feature;
  • Adjust brightness, contrast, saturation vibrance, temperature, vignette;
  • Undo/redo;
  • In-app guide;
  • Send via email;
  • Share via Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, Instagram.

Appotography Opinion

Repix is an image processing app coming with a selection of photo filters, plus light and artistic brushes to spice up your images by playing with your fingers. You can combine filters and special effects together for producing different and unique results. Settings for brightness, contrast, saturation and vignette can be adjusted depending on yor need by tapping and holding on each filter’s icon to call the menu and then sliding on the screen to increase and decrease values. The artistic effects can be applied by finger painting; for each there are additional settings available that are accessed either by tapping on the plus sign on the tools and by holding and sliding. If you make a mistake, you can undo; if you want to change something, you just have to use the undoer brush, the eraser or simply paint over. You can then save your final images as PNG files, share them on some of the most popular social media or send them to a desired email address.

The choice of different effects in the free version of Repix is fine but quite limited. The additional effect brushes however will broaden your possibilities a little. There are three themed packs, each containing four extra brushes. Each pack is $1.99, but you can unlock all the packs in one go through the “Master’s Collection” option, which is $4.99.

The app Repix shows some nice ideas and a few brilliant effects, but it also has its shortcomings. As far as I could see, you cannot directly control brush size, opacity, angle and so on in any away; you can only get a little more accurate if needed with zooming in and out by pinching on screen. Overall, I find the lack of brush control limiting, since it doesn’t allow you to work freely. Even by zooming in to the maximum magnification allowed, you cannot be very detail-oriented, unless you rely on other apps to stack and blend layers and so forth. The zooming in and out is not one of the most responsive out there either and at times I found myself applying strokes when I was in fact trying to pan or get closer.

Repix is not one these apps with poor artistic filters that will only look good on the iPhone screen: the output quality is very good, even at full resolution, the brush strokes are very well done and combining the various effects together can give you many creative possibilities. To be honest, the results attainable with Repix can be extremely pleasing if you spend some time on your editing instead of just applying strokes at random, but they definitely won’t work all the times as you wish. With some more brush control Repix could easily become one of the best apps of its kind.

Repix is a universal app optimized for iPhone 5 and it is free in the App Store. If you want to have an idea of what it is capable of, go ahead and try it.

Gmail, Windows Live SkyDrive Boost Storage

gmail skydrive storage increase

My Gmail account is overrun with random, storage-eating threads that I'm generally too lazy or nostalgic to erase. I'm apparently not the only user whose account capacity is in the mid-90 percent range, though, because Google on Friday announced that it will be increasing storage for Gmail users.

"Today we're announcing we are speeding up our counter and giving out more free storage," Rob Siemborski, a Gmail engineer, wrote in a blog post.

The search engine giant did not specify exactly how much storage Gmail users should expect. The boost also applies to businesses, schools and organizations using Google Apps to get Gmail on custom addresses. Standard and Education Edition storage will jump from 2GB to match Gmail's counter, while the Premier Edition will increase from10GB to 25GB, Siemborski wrote.

Not to be outdone, Microsoft also announced plans to double Windows Live SkyDrive user storage to 1GB. The service will also allow users to add RSS feeds to public folders so people can be notified immediately when friends upload new files to SkyDrive folders, according to Microsoft.

Picasa 3.0 Build 57.19 Beta  غير المفتاح

Picasa 3 now has the ability to support more photos on your computer -- now up to a million photos! And we've made plenty of other improvements that we think you'll enjoy. Click the links below to learn more about each feature.

Experiment with six different collage types and a slew of new settings in the more hands-on collage creation screen.

Collage has been reborn. You now have total artistic control over your collage content and layout.

* For 'Picture Pile' collages, click an image to drag it to a new location or use the wheel to rotate and resize it. Add or delete images to your collage as you go.
* Grid spacing: Use the slider to precisely control the space between images.
* More background options: Select an image as background or select any color you'd like.

Print your collage in high resolution, and choose from 10 different display dimensions.
Getting started

* Create a collage for all photos in a folder or album by clicking the Create Photo Collage button collage in the folder or album header.
* If you'd like to pick and choose photos from different collections, place them in the Photo Tray and click the larger Collage button in the Photo Tray.

Use the Settings tab to control the collage type and appearance. Use the Clips tab to find additional images to insert. Experiment with these tabs to perfect your creation.

* Depending on the type of collage you choose, you'll have different options on the Settings tab. While all collage types share basic settings like 'Background Options' and 'Page Format,' there are some settings that are only available for specific collages.
* If you're half-done creating a collage and need to finish later, just click the Close button, and you'll be prompted to Save Draft. You can pick up your work at any time in the 'Collages' folder.

Why take two steps when you can do it in one? Upload an album to Picasa Web Albums and email invitations to friends and family with just one click.

By clicking the Share button sharing on the right side of the folder or album header, you can choose your recipients, and compose your accompanying message. Click Send, and your photos will be uploaded and shared in the same step.

If you use the Share button for an album that's already been uploaded, it'll simply set up an invitation that you can send to friends to view your existing online album.

Auto red-eye

Our improved technology automatically detects faces and corrects the red eye in your photos.

While editing any photo, you can access the Redeye button redeye from the Basic Fixes tab. After the red eye is identified and auto-corrected, click Apply to accept the changes.

Your manual controls are still there, should you want them. Just click the Reset button after the automatic correction is made, and you'll be able to use the red-eye tool manually.

The Crop tool offers three crop suggestions based on the composition of your photograph. Don't miss the 10 different dimensions to choose from when cropping.

You can access the Crop button from the 'Basic Fixes' tab. Select your chosen dimension. Click the Preview button to get a sneak peek before you apply the changes.

Spice up your screensaver by pulling in pictures from additional photo sources, such as your Web Albums and photo feeds.

You also have more control over presentation aspects such as slide transition style, slide duration, and captions.

To customize your screensaver, click the Tools menu in Picasa 3 and select Configure Screensaver. Select Google Photos Screensaver in the dialog window and click Settings to choose your screensaver sources. Click the relevant Configure buttons to get more granular choices.

Multiple word tags

You can now add multi-word tags to your photos. Finally, you can tag your rocking chair as 'rocking chair,' rather than 'rocking' and 'chair.'

To add a tag, select your photo and click the Tag button tag next to the Photo Tray area or use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+T. The blue status bar at the bottom of the screen shows any tags that have been applied to your pictures. If you'd like to see all your tags listed under each photo, click the View menu, select Thumbnail Caption, then select Tags.

To help you import images from a particular day or event, Picasa now segments your images according to the time frame when they were taken.

Each group of images in the import window will be marked by a clock icon. Hover over the clock to see the time stamp of this group or click a clock to select all the images in the group.

Click the Import button , choose your media, and watch as your photos are segmented by the time period in which they were snapped.
Due to size constraints, Picasa can only create up to five groups at any one time. The first four groups will be segmented according to time and the fifth group will contain the remaining photos that can be imported.

Make your slideshow come alive with new capabilities.

Banana cake is a term used to describe all forms of sex that are not 'physically' relevant, such as Phone-sex/Cyber-sex.

It is often used as a term to describe ones affections for another on social networking sites such as facebook, twitter, and other public forums.

Banana cake is performed when those involved are aware that they are not likely to ever meet in real life, but wish to consumate a mutual desire for heightened intimacy involving the release of bodily fluids via talking on the phone, texting, msn, as well as on social networking sites.
Actual exchange on Windows live messenger/MSN:

Dee: Higz, last nights banana cake was mind blowing, I'm still quivering thinking about it. God! I am so wet!

Higz: Yes, it certainly was, but when are we going to meet up for the real deal? We're in the same city ffs, so what about it muffin ass?

Dee: Maybe I'll pay you a surprise visit on your bday <3

Higz: That's what you said back in 08. If you're setting up for another argument, I'm not falling for it. Arguing makes you horny, and to be quite honest.. banana cake just doesn't cut it anymore with me.

Dee: In other words, you are saying that you are undressed and Gung-ho for another round of banana cake until your bday arrives?

Higz: Hmmm.. pretty much. Okay, I'm laying blindfolded on my workout bench, and you walk in wearing nothing. Over to you....

Dee: Now you're talking baby!
بواسطة Higzy يونيو 8, 2010
Comparable to fubar, or kitty wampus. When something is very screwed up or off kilter, it is all sort of bananacakes.
"I tried to apply online today, but the website is all bananacakes"
بواسطة Mr. Bananco اكتوبر 15, 2009
A Cake that is better than sex itself, it is very healthy for you and should be made with real banana's.

General term for any small object, action figure, or toy, that is passed from person to person while playing a board game. When a person possesses the Turn Cow then it is their turn, when their turn is complete they then pass the Turn Cow onto the next player. The use of a Turn Cow may help players avoid missing their turn and will help them to keep track of whose turn is next.
After returning from a snack break while playing Monopoly, we had forgotten whose turn it was, so we checked to see who had the Turn Cow. The Turn Cow was sitting in front Jimmy's seat so we knew that it was his turn.

Slash Blasts His Way Into Angry Birds Space

Rovio has been busy today. In addition to making Angry Birds free for the first time and releasing a gameplay trailer for The Croods, they have added a Slash Bird to Angry Birds Space. Because ... why not?

The legendary Guns n' Roses guitarist also recorded a new theme song for the game! Turns out that Slash is a big fan of Angry Birds. And what does he get out of this whole thing (other than an honorary Angry Bird of his own)? There's a link inside the app to buy some of his music. Shocking.

Unfortunately, the update did not feature any new levels. But that can go by the wayside, since Rovio has been up to so much today.

Our Church: Ever Ancient, Ever New Saturday, February 26, at Maria High School in Chicago

Chicago, IL (January 19, 2011) – A Conversation with Cardinal George will be one of the major highlights at the Archdiocese of Chicago’s Parish Leadership Day on Saturday, February 26, at Maria High School, 6727 South California Avenue in Chicago.  Francis Cardinal George, OMI, Archbishop of Chicago, will directly engage in an informal dialog with Leadership Day participants and will be the celebrant at the Closing Liturgy.  Rev. Freddy Washington, CSSp, pastor of St. Mary Magdalene and St. Ambrose Parishes in Chicago, will be the homilist.
