Strand Hostel
June 24th 1918.
To-day we take possession of 4, Grafton Street, the Blue Triangle International Club which Lady Portsmouth's generosity has made possible; June 25th the Wardour Street Club Committee meets to take over the wider work which the War Department of the Y.W.C.A. has committed to it, viz. not only to have this Club for girls walking about Piccadilly Circus, but to start wherever it is needed in London and elsewhere. Receiving Houses, Hostels or Clubs for any girl who is feeling the fascination of streets full of Soldiers and facing the new problem envolved.
It reminds us old workers of the Conference long ago when we started Time and Talents and Factory Helpers Union for girls of leisure and of labour as new responsibilities for the Y.W.C.A; some were rather shocked at the smart appearance of these two types of girls and there was a feeling that both might spoil the Y.W.C.A.
Now again the call has come to give some better facility in the Association for girls of leisure and of education, a centre in which they will find what they need now when they are doing mens work in Whitehall and Pall Mall, a canteen, comfortable club and emergency beds; a centre from which the Association will draw an army of young workers whose outlook having been changed by war will be ready to put themselves under the Training Department for future work at home and abroad; a centre which will attract girls from overseas who, having done their service here and in future stay in or be drawn to London, will find hospitality and Christian fellowship.
And the Association having been called to serve the girls of each generation cannot escape from this responsibility of the pressure in London of millions of Soldiers from every part of the world, which is attracting to the streets thousands of young girls from all parts of our land who come from excitement, attraction to Soldiers and every patriotic reason. These girls are in grave moral dangers and are ever a menace to the future of the race, it is essential to have Clubs and Hostels to receive and help them as soon as possible; the work of the Wardour Street Club (Leicester Square) is being extended by taking a Receiving House in the Strand itself, a Farm Colony near London and some other Receiving Houses are being called for.

When we heard make-up maestro Pat McGrath was in town to shake things up at uber British brand Aquascutum this London Fashion Week, we knew we had to be backstage to see what she was up to. After all what Pat does, everyone else follows! 'Skin is gleaming but pared down,' she told us. 'I've been testing the new Max Factor Second Skin Foundation for a few weeks now and it's my new skin must-have.' We have to say that Pat's skin was looking just as amazing as the models, so we're sold on that! Classic Brit models Yasmin Le Bon and Stella Tennant mixed it up with Daisy Lowe and Jourdan Dunn but Pat gave them all 'a thick, black 1960s winged eye with touch of Max Factor False Lash Effect Mascara.' The look's inspiration? An early picture of a 1960s legend Eartha Kitt. Look below for more Aquascutum backstage shots.

SRAM GXP Team Bottom Bracket $39.00
Typically unsung, this SRAM GXP Team Bottom Bracket is what you'll find supporting your SRAM road or Truvativ mountain crankset. It's identical to the bottom brackets used in the Force and X0 groups.
SRAM's bottom brackets, while interchangeable between all SRAM and Truvativ cranksets, are brand specific -- meaning, they can only be installed with SRAM cranks. The key element that makes them different from a Shimano or FSA bottom bracket is that the left side bearing has a smaller diameter to mate with the stepped spindle of the SRAM crank. This design allows the inner race of the left side bearing to be captured between the crankarm and the spindle, effectively locating the crank. The right side bearing "floats" on the spindle handling only radial loads as you pedal. The SRAM design optimizes bearing load, minimizes drag, and gives you durability.
The GXP Team Bottom Bracket has alloy cups, anodized in Dark Silver. It's compatible with all SRAM road and Truvativ mountain cranksets. It comes in English threading only and will fit 68mm or 73mm bottom bracket shells (spacers included for 73).

Smooth Character
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Only one season on this BB, but thus far it's been running as smooth as a roadie's calves. Pretty inexpensive way to keep the cranks running smooth all season.
Blder Seven
3rd season now and it still works great!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I've put almost 10,000 miles on this bottom bracket with my SRAM Red cranks and have not had any problems. 2x a year I will remove the BB, clean it, grease the threads, and put it back together. I don't ride in the rain very often, but I do ride through the winter when the BB is exposed all the sand and other crap.
I'm not sure how often you are supposed to replace a BB, but I can see getting another year out of this one (at least) and if I have to replace it, I know it won't hit my wallet hard at all.
James Pramick
Works good
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
It lets my cranks spin real smooth like

Takes a lickin...
...keeps on tickin. Dozens of rock strikes later, spins smooth.
Andrew McKee
Very solid
Not my favorite installation or sealing setup out there, but once its installed it doesn't matter. These take a lot of abuse and keep spinning.
Matthew Van Wagner
Does what a BB does
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I found it kind of hard to track down a SRAM Italian BB and this one does the job great and CHEAP! No creaking or anything like that yet, I'm using for a Force Crank on a Pinarello.
Vinny Mauro
Nice BB
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I've used this thing for a full season now, no creaks or squeaks! In a world where you can't buy much for under $100 this is a great component at a great price. definitely planning to give it a nice cleaning this winter and keep rockin it.
Finally Replaced
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Finally got around to replacing my hand-me-down GXP with who knows how many miles on it, but still ran like champ. Only issue was that it made some clicking noise from time to time. But with new cranks I figured I should get a new BB and now it's super smooth and silent
Coop Bing
Smooth and Light
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
This is a great bb that's super affordable. If you aren't bound by having the most expensive parts on your bike there really isn't that any weight difference between this and the blackbox xx version. Your biggest difference is your bearings, but I have this on three of my bikes and my spouses and they are bullet proof. Never had any issues or complaints. I like the darker anodized look too.
Smooth spinning
This is my second GXP BB and it fits and spins smooth with my SRAM X9 cranks. I rode my first one the better part of a year and it still has plenty of life in it, I bought a new one to take on the great divide and I will surely put it to the test.
works great with the crank
The gxp bottom bracket is great match with the xo cranks,no problems and runs smooth
Perry Hall
It works, makes the cranks spin, and is inexpensive and durable. Win, Win, Win.

To become a member of 7hills Makerspace, you need to get two existing members to "sponsor" or recommend you for membership. The way you do this is up to you, but the best way is probably to come to open meetings and events at the space (which you can keep track of on the site's calendar), network with members at those events, make friends, offer to contribute something (even if it's your time to conduct a training class or something), and make your case.
If you are accepted as a member, you will be expected to pay your dues, abide by the member agreement, contribute to the space, manage at least one active project, participate in knowledge sharing, and be nice.
As a full member, you'll be given a key and will have 24×7 access to the space. Your sponsoring members will show you around, get you acclimating, introduce you to others and so on.
You'll have to sign our standard waiver, which you can download here.
One more key issue. This isn't the Supreme Court, and acceptance as a full member is not a lifetime appointment. If at any time, you flake out, go bonkers, embarrass 7hills, act mean or disrespectful to other members, steal, become too creepy, torture any lower life forms, don't contribute back enough, or engage in various other forms of nasty behavior, full members can take a vote to whack you. If a majority votes to do so, you'll be asked to "make yourself scarce." Of course that'll never happen, but we don't want there to be any surprises if it does.
So, that's all there is to it. If you'd like to get involved, feel free to reach out to introduce yourself. And be sure to attend open meetings at the space, every Thursday night from 6-9 -ish.
If you're ready to apply for membership, you can go here.

I had a piu piu like yours when I was a small girl. I still can feel the cold qand smooth surface of it in my fingers.ReplyDelete
What a nice"piu-watercolour";).It has an Asiatic air(I think more Chinese than Japonaise).
It´s curious how the different languages imitate animals'voices.In Spanish we say"pío-pío".
I can´t remember it exactly but something has been said about which language we'd better use depending of what we´re trying to express(was said by Carlos I Spanish Emperor who speaks perfectly French,Italian,Portuguese,German,Latin,Spanish),I´ll remember it and I'll write it to you.
I trust in finding more birds"flying"in your blog.

The Cauchy-Schwarz Inequality
Today I want to present a deceptively simple fact about spaces equipped with inner products. The Cauchy-Schwarz inequality states that
for any vectors . The proof uses a neat little trick. We take a scalar and construct the vector . Now the positive-definiteness, bilinearity, and symmetry of the inner product tells us that
This is a quadratic function of the real variable . It can have at most one zero, if there is some value such that is the zero vector, but it definitely can't have two zeroes. That is, it's either a perfect square or an irreducible quadratic. Thus we consider the discriminant and conclude
which is easily seen to be equivalent to the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality above. As a side effect, we see that we only get an equality (rather than an inequality) when and are linearly dependent.

Century Reserve 21 Year Old (2010)
Whisky Review: Century Reserve 21 Year Old Canadian Rye Whisky (90.5/100)
a review by Chip Dykstra (Aka Arctic Wolf)
Posted on August 15, 2010
In November of 2005, Highwood Distilleries Ltd. finalized the purchase of Potter's Distilleries (founded by Ernie Potter in 1958). Part of this acquisition, was the purchase of all of the remaining aged barrel stocks of whisky in the Potter's facility. These barrels of whisky were then transferred from the Potter's warehouse facilities in Kelowna B.C. to the newly constructed warehouse facility in High River, Alberta, where they were allowed to continue to age at the foot of the Rocky Mountains on the western edge of the Canadian Prairies.
The brands which Potter's had established, Potter's Special Old Canadian Whisky, and the Century Reserve Brands were continued and expanded upon. Subtle changes in the taste of these whiskies may be occurring due to the change in location of the aging warehouse; however, these Potter's brands are still produced entirely from the aging whisky reserves which were originally distilled and barreled at the Potter's Distillery.
I was recently provided with a sample of one of these brands, the Century Reserve 21 Year Old Whisky, a corn whisky produced from a single bond, and not blended. In fact, we are able to call this a 21-year-old single grain whisky, which is a rarity upon the landscape of Canadian Whisky.
In the Bottle 4.5/5
The whisky is presented in a squat rectangular decanter style bottle which stands about 8 inches high. The bottle is very nice and has a masculine design. This is a style of whisky bottle that I can set at the forefront of my whisky shelf or as a display piece in my Liquor cabinet.
I am however, a little disappointed by the label. I realize that this is a personal preference, but I believe the ambiance could be brought up significantly with a stronger design. I guess I want to see some type of illustration, photo, or even a story which brings the heritage of this unique twenty-one year old single grain whisky to life. The quibble is minor, but it does prevent a perfect score for presentation.
In the Glass 9/10
The Century Reserve 21 whisky displays itself as an amber/gold spirit in the glass with apparent flashes of orange. When I tilt the glass on its side, the liquid imparts a moderately thick sheen of oil which causes small whisky droplets to form and slowly run back down the inside of the glass. The aroma is of butterscotch bathed in corn with oak tannins which rise gently disguising themselves within a citrus zest. Bourbon vanilla (actually reminiscent of melted vanilla ice-cream) appears, and I find the nose complex, but not necessarily assertive. There is a beguiling gentleness associated with the spirit in the glass.
In the Mouth 54/60
The initial entry in the mouth is mellow with a flavour of soft corn leading the way. Butterscotch, and a honeyed oaky spice quickly follow making the whisky lively in the mouth but not sharp and uncomfortable. Vanilla arrives on the mid palate, and I cannot help but feel I am tasting that melted vanilla ice-cream which I encountered on the nose. I am struck by a certain sweet dank flavour that has crept in from the beginning and then has steadily built up in my mouth throughout the tasting. This flavour has a delightful "rumminess" attached to it, as well as a dank earthy flavour similar to the underlying flavour of a Tennessee Corn Whisky. I feel this must be the flavour of the single grain corn mash continuing to assert itself throughout the palate.
The only drawback I found was that the flavour profile lacked a certain robustness. By this, I mean that the flavours I encountered tended to be somewhat dependent upon my mood and my palate condition. In particular, the dank sweet corn flavour seemed at times to be more aggressive, whereas at other times it sat back in the profile and allowed the other flavours to find more expression. This led me, on some days, to want to score the whisky higher in this category, while on other days I wanted to score it lower. I chose the midpoint of the two scores and deducted another half point to account for the inconsistency.
In the Throat 14/15
The exit is long and the whisky finishes with a wide swath of corn, sweet honey and vanilla. A rush of spice trails down my throat leaving a nice satisfying, but light burn on my tonsils. This finish is very smooth and satisfying.
The Afterburn 9/10
I sampled the Century Reserve 21 with several friends whom I often have over to my informal tasting sessions. While we do not always agree, on this occasion I was struck by how much more everyone else appeared to enjoy the whisky than I did. In fact the expressions on their faces were of pure delight. Of course, I did not allow their impressions to impact my review and score, but I will admit that I was tempted to. As it was I found the whisky to be an extremely nice sipper well worth plunking down a few dollars for. In fact based upon the extremely fair price I saw at a local store recently, I think it is a real bargain. I guess, I am trying to say that my friends, whose opinion I respect, would feel it was an even better bargain!
You may read some of my other Whisky Reviews (click the link) if you wish to have some comparative reviews.
Suggested Recipes
One of my favourite ways to enjoy myself is with a premium whisky cocktail. The Century Reserve 21 Year Old Canadian Whisky is the perfect starting point for such a cocktail. The trick when using a premium spirit is to allow it to shine through the cocktail, and to use only other ingredients which are of the same quality. The first recipe I have chosen to showcase this whisky is perhaps the most tried and true whisky cocktail in the world, The Old Fashioned Cocktail.
The Old Fashioned Cocktail
2 oz Century Reserve 21 Canadian Whisky
1 tsp sugar syrup
1 dash bitters
2 large ice cubes
1 Twist of lemon or orange peel
Add the first three ingredients to a rocks glass over the ice cubes
Rub the cut edge of the lemon peel over the rim of the glass and twist it over the drink. (This will release the oil from the lemon zest into the drink)
Discard the peel.
The Old fashioned is a great cocktail for this whisky as the quality of the whisky lends itself in direct proportion to the quality of the cocktail.
Another nice recipe which I constructed is one I call, Autumn Harvest.
Autumn Harvest
2 oz Century Reserve 21 Canadian Whisky
1/8 oz Triple Sec
1/2 oz Dry Vermouth
1 tsp sugar syrup
1 dash bitters
Frozen Blackberry
Chill a small rocks glass until it is very cold.
Aromatise the glass with Triple Sec.
(This can be done by pouring a little in the glass, swooshing it round and expelling any excess. The object is to coat the inside of the glass with a light film of the Triple Sec.)
Pour the Century Reserve 21 Year Old, the dry Vermouth,and Angostura Bitters into a metal shaker with cracked Ice.
Shake until the shaker chills.
Strain into the chilled rocks glass.
Garnish with a Frozen Blackberry.
As always you may interpret the scores I provide as follows.
0-25 A spirit with a rating this low would actually kill you.
26-49 Depending upon your fortitude you might actually survive this.
50 -59 You are safe to drink this…but you shouldn't.
60-69 Substandard swill which you may offer to people you do not want to see again.
70-74 Now we have a fair mixing rum or whisky. Accept this but make sure it is mixed into a cocktail.
75-79 You may begin to serve this to friends, again probably still cocktail territory.
80-84 We begin to enjoy this spirit neat or on the rocks. (I will still primarily mix cocktails)
85-89 Excellent for sipping or for mixing!
90-94 Definitely a primary sipping spirit, in fact you may want to hoard this for yourself.
95-97.5 The Cream of the Crop
98+ I haven't met this bottle yet…but I want to.
Very loosely we may put my scores into terms that you may be more familiar with on a Gold, Silver, and Bronze medal scale as follows:
70 – 79.5 Bronze Medal (Recommended only as a mixer)
80 – 89.5 Silver Medal (Recommended for sipping and or a high quality mixer)
90 – 95 Gold Medal (Highly recommended for sipping and for sublime cocktails.)
95.5+ Platinum Award (Highest Recommendation)

im confused that the label says canadian rye whisky ,but in fact it is all corn.What are your thoughts.
August 21, 2010 at 3:45 pm
Good review. I think the lack of robustness that you noticed is simply the Highwood style. Centennial 10 and Century Reserve 15 are also very clean, subtle, laid back whiskies, as I'm sure you already know. What the 21 year old has is a richer flavour and bigger body. You really taste the age, even if it doesn't translate into more intense flavour.

[H] Mal'Ganis <Burn Phase> 8/8 HM DS 10man is recruiting a non-paladin off-tank (Feral Druid preferred) with a strong DPS spec for our progression 10man group as well as all classes for Mist's of Pandaria
Current Raid Times
Progression Group - 10man:
Tuesday/Thursday 8:30pm-12:30am (Sever Time/CST) 8 hrs per week:
This group is progression focused; players are expected to perform at a high level, handle advanced mechanics well and have an outstanding grasp of their class and spec and how that can be put to maximum effect in a given encounter.
Current Recruitment:
We have an immediate need for a tank with a strong DPS off-spec in our progression 10 man group, we would prefer a Feral Druid, although the right player on a Warrior or Deathknight would also be strongly considered. This group is currently farming 8/8HM Dragons Soul, as such we require an item level of 397+ and 6/8HM experience.
Additionally we are recruiting all classes and specs in preparation for Mist's of Pandaria.
Please see the; Who we are Looking For section for more information for potential candidates.
About Burn Phase:
Burn Phase is centered around our raid group. We may not raid 40 hours a week due to jobs and RL schedules but we take our raiding seriously. We don't aspire to be a server first or a US top 100 guild, but we do strive to clear content at a reasonable pace.
We use Vent for in game communication. We provide our raiders with flasks, feasts, gems, and enchants. We also provide crafted gear to our raider based on need, availability and the players performance and reliability.
Who are we:
We are a small raiding guild with a diverse roster of gamers who like to get together and kill stuff. We are a mature guild primarily made up of people in our mid 20s to mid 30s although we do have a few folks both older and younger than that. Most of the players in Burn Phase got their start in WoW in either Vanilla or early BC and bring a lot of experience to the table. We're by nature a fun bunch with lots of teasing, dirty jokes and pranks pulled on a regular basis.
Our raid team is an extension of our collective personalities with plenty of joking and fun through the trash pulls and in between bosses. During boss fights and especially during progression however we get serious. All of our raiders are expected to know their class, spec and role in the fight. Anyone not performing gets called out and that goes for everyone from the raid leader to the newest member of the group.
We raid because we like raiding. To us experiencing new content and killing bosses is why we play this game. Loot is a means toward that end and not the reason we raid.
Who we are looking for:
We're looking for mature, reliable raiders who understand that if they miss a raid they are affecting 9/24 other people and find that unacceptable. Who research their class and perform their role at a high level. We want raiders that can take feedback, who are tough enough to be called out for making a mistake and respond by getting better not by making excuses or pointing the blame at someone else.
Particularly for raiders aspiring to join our progression group excellence is expected. Everyone in this group is expected to know their class inside and out. We also expect a reliable internet connection with a computer that can handle the content without issue. Due to the small size of this group attendance in this group is extremely important and missing raids is something that is expected to happen only on extremely rare occasions.
We want raiders who understand that loot is not something worth getting mad about. Drama over loot is not tolerated.
Finally we're looking for people who can take a joke and give as good as they get, who just like to hang out play WoW and have a good time.
Joining Burn Phase:
Anyone interested in joining our progression raid team needs to fill out an application on our website, www.burnphaseguild.wowstead.com and go through an interview to ensure we're right for you and you're right for us.
If you have questions feel free to whisper Palthus or Meene in game for more information.

TomTom, GPS is based on linux, and has third party apps you can get.
But really, you probably wouldn't even have to make an App for the tomtom. If you just made a little program to facilitate, the creation of POI files based on task lists, then people could just have a POI category on their tomtom named RTM or something. And in it, it would have all the locations, that you have stored on RTM. And then in the POI details (Which can be VERY LONG) can list tasks for that location)
TomTom already has a feature where you can have it warn you if you are within a certain distance of a certain kind of POI category. So people could just tell their tomtom to tell them when they are near any RTM POI, and then their GPS would actively give them notice that they are near a task they could complete.
There are definitely things to be ironed out -- but this would be a FANTASTIC PRO feature.
FYI: for non-GPSers (POI=Point of Interest) It is how the GPS stores, all shops/police stations/trais stations, etc, etc -- and you can create your own, or get custom packs etc.

Test Results
The temperatures of the Aumsville Wetlands are between 13 and 14 C. We were only able to take water samples at the surface to four feet below due to our lack of resources. If we were able to take samples from deeper depths the temperature would be lower and fish would spend their time in the deeper cooler portion of the pond. This would only occur if the temperatures were optimal in Porter Creek. The water temperature is on the higher range of the optimal level. This is a concern because these temperatures were taken in late fall when the water temperatures should be cooler. The water temperatures will increase greatly during the warmer months of the year.
The dissolved oxygen concentrations at the Aumsville site were extremely high ranging from 8.2 to ll.6 mg/l. According to the Habitat Suitability Index the optimal dissolved oxygen is above 8 mg/l.
The pH of the water at Aumsville Wetlands are neutral, neither basic or acidic. Therefore, the pH will not have an adverse effect on the salmon.
Access from the pond to Porter Creek
From observation, we found that in order for the salmon to have access to the pond, a barrier at the noth east of the pond to the stream would have to be removed.
Physical Characteristics
The soil at Aumsville Wetlands is mainly nekia silty clay loam (7). The rock types at the site are Columbia River Basalt Group Lava and Alluvium and basin-fill deposits (15). Annual precipitation is gathered by the surrounding cities, Salem (39.24 in/yr) and Stayton (51.48 in/yr) (7).
Connectivity, Species use, and Time of Year Utalized
As stated by Gary Galovich at Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, Aumsville Wetlands is part of the Mill Creek Watershed. Mill Creek gets a great deal of its water from the North Santiam River via an artificial diversion located in the Stayton area. Mill Creek supports primarily cutthroat trout but because of the hydrologic connection with the North Santiam winter steelhead may be seen migrating through the system during the winter and early spring. Although adult salmon and steelhead are rare to non-existent in Mill Creek, juvenile salmon and steelhead use the system for rearing habitat and seasonal refuge. When floods occur the fish take advantage of the slower moving water of the wetlands to avoid the high current of the main channel.

Post subject: are fedora updates trustworthy?
i mean really why would they provide decently working packages if they want people to run servers on RHEL.
As a laptop user, i suspect they start giving untested, unstable packages by the time another new release is due so that people move on . At the same time it must be good enough at release time so as to get good reviews.
So i am not planning to make any further updates on my fc10 installation. Redhat wouldn't like a stable fedora to stay for long.

This is pure speculation and absolute rubbish.
i mean really why would they provide decently working packages if they want people to run servers on RHEL.
Fedora serves as a testing ground for RHEL. They want it to be reasonably stable so that RHEL will have a solid base. In addition, the sort of people using Fedora aren't the target market for RHEL. RHEL is aimed at corporations who want support contracts and guarantees that it will work with software such as Oracle's database, not those who want a free distribution with no technical support.
As a laptop user, i suspect they start giving untested, unstable packages by the time another new release is due so that people move on . At the same time it must be good enough at release time so as to get good reviews.
Why would they want people to move on? It's not like Redhat makes any money off of Fedora users when they upgrade to a new version. Once again, Redhat isn't particularly concerned about reviews or the stability of Fedora at release but instead want users to try it out so that they have a solid base for RHEL. Over the course of the release cycle, stability improves and eventually it becomes a suitable base for RHEL.
Regarding the part about unstable and untested packages, this is simply not true, at all. I have never had any updates destabilize things late in the release cycle and Fedora releases always grow more stable the longer they have been out.
So i am not planning to make any further updates on my fc10 installation. Redhat wouldn't like a stable fedora to stay for long.
So you're also going to not install all of the security updates they release?
Years of
using BLAG (derived from Fedora) have proven to me and many other BLAG users that Fedora is a perfectly stable and solid system, as long as you don't install immediately after release. By 2-3 months in, a Fedora system is stable and most issues have been corrected. That's why BLAG releases typically trail Fedora ones by about that much.

thats fine
but if a 'perfect fedora' exists why would people say in 3rd world countries like india bother getting redhat (centos is another option, but bit old).supports are hard to get here anyway and why bother when one can hire someone else for support.
anyway if you say so confidently then i'll go ahead. but my past experience with this thing has been bad so i moved to ubuntu.

You moved to ubuntu to have something "more stable"? Is-it a joke? When a new version of ubuntu is released (I used it in the past), the forums exploded because of the number of people asking question about this or that bug.
In September, it was the first time I used something like fedora with my first blag installation; and I didn't have a lot of question to ask.
If you think you are a tester using fedora or blag and you want absolutely move to an other distribution: move to debian!
I always have a debian installed in dual boot with my blag (with a linux-libre kernel of course and no non-free software installed); but most of the time I boot and use my blag (i386 on desktop and x86_64 on laptop).

Fedora is now developed by way too many people outside of RedHat for them to pull that off.
Fedora isn't a free alternative for The RHEL customer pool, that is CentOS.
Yes, Fedora tends to push some untested items to the community before they are tested and proven. But Fedora is bleeding edge, that is the mission of the distro.
Ubuntu??? if you want something fully tested then use Debian.

And do you expect a distro that has a new version of it come out 2 to 3 times a year to be rock solid? Again, try Debian minus the nonfree. Or you could try gNewSense as it is based on LTS unbuntu.

After he was pulled from Royal Rumble 2014 at the last minute, Evan Bourne told fans on Twitter that he was still working on making his return to WWE, but as of right now, it does not appear that management is making that a priority backsage.
At one point, Evan Bourne was supposed to make his return to WWE at Royal Rumble 2014, but management opted against that move on Sunday night. The high flying wrestler decided to address the issue on Twitter by telling his fans to not worry about last night and that he is still working on his comeback.
Rumor has it that Evan Bourne is expected to make his return to WWE soon, and many believe that management will be making that happen at the Royal Rumble pay per view as a mystery entrant. He has recently been taking it up a notch with his workouts.
After a lengthy absence due to an injury, Evan Bourne has been waiting to make his return to WWE. The high flying performer has been teasing fans through Twitter that he could be doing that at the Royal Rumble as a mystery entrant.

Dies irae, dies illa
Solvet saeclum in favilla
Teste David cum Sibylla.
Liszt introduces the material dramatically: the piano and timpani accompany the lower winds, brass and strings in the first two phrases, then a series of spiky cadenzas culminates in a restatement, followed by the third phrase, played three times. Finally, the piano reiterates the first two phrases alone. Variation I is a double variation where bassoon and violas play a new rhythmic counterpoint to the first two phrases in the lower strings, which the piano then repeats, and then clarinet and bassoon are in counterpoint with the strings for the third phrase, again repeated by the piano, which takes control of Variation II, with a new counter-theme from the horn, and multiple glissandos from the soloist. Oboes and clarinets add another new counter-theme in Variation III, whilst Variation IV is a much freer affair for solo piano where each phrase is introduced in four-voice canon.
So far, the work has remained firmly in D minor, but the piano now takes very gentle wing in a delicate cadenza leading to B major and thence to G minor, where a lone clarinet joins in for ten bars before D minor is abruptly restored in the brilliant transition to Variation V. This fugato uses just the first two phrases of the theme for its subject and leads to a development in which the full orchestra plays a part. The section is brought to an end by a grand cadenza which makes a brief excursion into F sharp major before bringing matters to a close in D minor. That which Liszt marks Variation VI amounts to a new theme and six variations—also in D minor, also on a theme which fits the verses of the Dies irae text, but which is quite different, and whose origins are uncertain. The last of these miniature variations is extended to introduce a final cadenza, which brings back the original theme. The coda begins with piano glissandos over the third phrase of the theme, after which the soloist is left to improvise until the end, since Liszt's score is blank in the solo part for the last statement of the first two phrases. The tradition of adding the scale in contrary octaves to the orchestra seven bars from the end certainly stems from Liszt's lifetime, and is also found in the (otherwise very unreliable) edition/version produced by Liszt's pupil Alexander Ziloti.

FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. (AP) -- The Atlanta Falcons have signed four NFL draft picks, including defensive ends Malliciah Goodman and Stansly Maponga.
The Falcons also announced Friday they have signed safeties Kemal Ishmael and Zeke Motta. The terms of the deals were not disclosed.
Goodman, from Clemson, was the first of Atlanta's two fourth-round draft picks last month. He had 12 career sacks at Clemson. Maponga was a fifth-round selection who had 15.5 sacks and eight forced fumbles at Texas Christian.
Ishmael and Motta were seventh-round picks. Ishmael had six interceptions at Central Florida. Motta had two interceptions in 29 career starts at Notre Dame.

Many computer programs work with data that represents quantities. Examples are numerous: the age of a person, the weight of a parcel, the duration of a video clip, the distance between two cities, etc. Usually quantities are simply represented by numbers, because numbers are very easy to handle in popular programming languages. However, quantities are not numbers: two years is not the same as the number two. A quantity is defined by a magnitude (which is a number) and a unit. The same quantity can be represented by different magnitude-unit pairs. For example, one minute is the same quantity as sixty seconds. The quality being measured by a unit is called its dimension. Time, length, and weight are examples of dimensions.
There are a few good reasons to represent quantities by magnitude-unit pairs rather than by plain numbers:
- When quantities are represented by numbers, the units become a matter of convention, written down in a comment (if at all) rather than in the program code. This makes mistakes rather likely, with possibly serious consequences: NASA's Mars Climate Orbiter crashed because of different units being used in different parts of the software that was used to calculate its flight trajectory.
- With just numbers, it is not even possible to verify that a quantity passed into a function has the right dimension. With an additional unit, such a check is very easy to do.
- The unit and dimension information provides additional documentation to the human reader, and aids in debugging.
A number of libraries for various programming languages therefore implement units, dimensions, and quantities, with the associated arithmetic and comparison operators and sometimes also mathematical functions. Clojure recently joined the crowd: the
units library is available at Clojars.org and the source code is hosted by Google Code. In this post, I describe how the library works and give a few examples.
First, a simple example for illustration. Like any Clojure script, the first thing to do is to set up the namespace with all the stuff we need:
(clojure.core/use 'nstools.ns) (ns+ unit-demo (:clone nstools.generic-math) (:from units dimension? in-units-of) (:require [units.si :as si]))
This looks rather complicated, so it deserves some explanation. We will want to be able to calculate with quantities, units, and dimensions, in particular do arithmetic (+ – * /) and comparisons ( min max) on quantities. Clojure's built-in arithmetic and comparison functions work only on numbers, so they are not useful here. In
clojure.contrib.generic, there are generic versions of these operations, meaning that they can be defined for any datatype for which they make sense. To achieve this goal, they are implemented as multimethods, which implies some bookkeeping overhead that reduces performance. In fact, it is for performance reasons that Clojure's standard arithmetic functions are not generic.
Constructing a nice namespace for generic arithmetic using Clojure's standard namespace management tools is a bit cumbersome: we'd have to use an explicit
:refer-clojure clause in
ns in order to exclude the standard arithmetic functions, and then have a
:use clause for adding the generic versions from the various submodules of
clojure.contrib.generic. An easier way is to use the nstools library which defines a suitable namespace template that we can simply clone. We then add the dimension-checking predicate
dimension? and the conversion function
in-units-of from the
units library and the shorthand
si for referring to the namespace that defines the SI unit system that we will use.
Now we can start doing something useful. The following function calculates the force exerted by a spring of force constant
k that has been compressed or extended by a displacement
(defn spring [k] {:pre [(dimension? (/ si/force si/length) k)]} (fn [x] {:pre [(si/length? x)]} (- (* k x))))
The basic code looks just as if we had written it for use with plain numbers. The only difference are the preconditions that verify that the arguments
k and
x have the right dimensions: length for
x, force constant for
k. The test for length is simpler, because for all dimensions that have been assigned a name in the definition of the unit system, there is a direct test predicate, such as
si/length?. There is no predefined dimension for "force divided by length", so we have to use the generic predicate
dimension? and construct the dimension arithmetically. The only operations defined on dimensions are multiplication and division, the rest (addition/subtraction, comparison) would not make sense.
Let's use our function
(def a-spring (spring (/ (* 5 si/N) si/cm))) (prn (a-spring (si/cm 1/2)))
The first line defines a spring with a force constant of 5 N/cm. You can see in the expression that calculates it that units can be used like quantities in artithmetic. The unit "Newton" behaves just like the quantity "1 Newton". However, these two values are represented differently internally, for a good reason that I will explain a bit later. The second line evaluates the force exerted by the spring when elongated by 1/2 cm. It shows another way to construct a quantity from unit an magnitude: units can be called as functions, with the magnitude supplied as the argument, returning a quantity.
The last line produces the output
#:force{-5/2 N}
The result thus has the dimension "force", the magnitude "-5/2″ and the unit "Newton". The dimension can be shown because it is a named dimension defined in the SI unit system. Otherwise the computer could not have guessed the name of the dimension. Let's see what happens when we print a force constant:
(prn (/ (* 5 si/N) si/cm))
The output is
#:quantity{5 100.kg.s-2}
No dimension name, no unit name: the magnitude is 5, the unit is 100 kg/s^2, and it is expressed in SI base units plus a prefactor.
Let's look at some more examples of unit arithmetic in the following REPL protocol:
unit-demo> (+ (si/m 1) (si/km 3)) #:length{3001 m} unit-demo> (+ (si/km 3) (si/m 1)) #:length{3001/1000 km} unit-demo> (= (+ (si/m 1) (si/km 3)) (+ (si/km 3) (si/m 1))) true
This shows how units are converted in arithmetic: the result has the unit of the first argument. However, exchanging the argument still yields a result that is equal to the original one, as indeed "1 km" and "1000 m" are the same quantity.
Next, some more complicated examples: we calculate the kinetic energy of a car:
unit-demo> (/ (si/km 100) si/h) #:velocity{100 5/18.m.s-1} unit-demo> (let [v (/ (si/km 100) si/h) m (si/kg 800)] (* 1/2 m v v)) #:energy{4000000 25/324.m2.kg.s-2} unit-demo> (let [v (/ (si/km 100) si/h) m (si/kg 800)] (in-units-of si/J (* 1/2 m v v))) #:energy{25000000/81 J}
The last line shows how to convert a quantity to a different unit. Note that the result is always equal to the input quantity, only the representation changes.
At some point, one inevitable has to communicate with the number-only world, usually for I/O, or for plotting. So how do we convert a quantity to a number? It should be clear that this operation implies the choice of a unit. The simplest solution is to divide the quantity by the desired unit: the result will be dimensionless and thus a plain number:
unit-demo> (/ (a-spring (si/cm 1/2)) si/mN) -2500
Another approach would be to convert to the desired units using
in-units-of and then extracting the magnitude using the function
magnitude from the
units library:
unit-demo> (units/magnitude (in-units-of si/mN (a-spring (si/cm 1/2)))) -2500
At this point it should be clear that the
units library defines three datatypes: dimensions, units, and quantities. It is less obvious that dimensions and units (and thus indirectly quantities) refer to a unit system. Without a unit system, the computer could not know that the quotient of a length and a time is a velocity, for example. Nor could it know that "Newton" is just a convenient name for "m kg/s^2″. A unit system defines base dimensions and base units. The SI system (SI = Système International) that is today used all over the world in science and engineering, as well as in daily life in most countries, defines seven base dimensions and associated units:
- length (meter, m)
- mass (kilogram, kg)
- time (second, s)
- electric current (ampere, A)
- temperature (kelvin, K)
- luminous intensity (candela, cd)
- amount of substance (mole, mol)
Neither the choice of these particular dimensions nor even the choice of seven base dimensions is obvious. One could very well use the electric charge instead of the electric current, for example. And one could very well not have the dimension "amount of substance" at all. The choices made for the SI system reflect the state of the art in metrology, taking into account what can and what cannot be measured with high accuracy.
All dimensions other than the base dimensions are expressed as products of powers of the base units. For example, velocity is length^1 time^-1, and volume is length^3. The SI system is constructed to make sure that all powers are integers, but this is not true e.g. for the older cgs system, which has fractional powers for dimensions related to electricity. According to the principles of dimensional analysis, a dimension is in fact nothing else but a name for a collection of powers (seven integers for the SI system). Metrological reality is a bit more complicated because there can be multiple dimensions with the same set of exponents. For example, in the SI system, both frequency (measured in cycles per second) and radioactivity (measured in decays per second) are equivalent to time^-1, because neither "cycle" nor "decay" has its own dimension. The
units library takes this into account and makes a distinction between frequency, radioactivity, and 1/time. The first two are not compatible with each other, meaning that you can't add 1 Bq and 5 Hz. However, either one is compatible with 1/s, so you can add 1 Bq and 5/s. This feature requires that dimensions be represented by a specific data type; otherwise a list of exponents would be sufficient.
Units are handled much like dimensions: each base dimension has a base unit, and each non-base unit is defined as a product of powers of base units, plus a numerical prefactor. Quantities are then made up of a unit and a magnitude, which is typically a number. It is not strictly necessary to make the distinction between units and quantities, as in fact any quantity can be used as a unit. There are libraries around that use a single representation for both. However, there are two advantages to keeping the distinction:
- The
unitslibrary permits magnitudes of quantities to be values of any type that implements generic arithmetic, whereas unit prefactors must be numbers. It it thus possible to use matrices as magnitudes, provided all elements have the same unit. This permits efficient implementations of many algorithms while still profiting from dimension checking and unit conversion.
- Without specific unit objects, every quantity would be represented as a prefactor with respect to a product of powers of the base units. The information of what unit the quantity was initially represented in is lost. While this doesn't matter from the point of view of dimensional analysis, it does matter from a numerical point of view. For example, quantities at the atomic scale would have very small prefactors when expressed in terms of SI base units. With magnitudes expressed as floating-point values, there is thus a risk of underflow in unit arithmetic. It is in general preferable to keep quantities in their original units and apply conversion only when requested or when inevitable (such as in addition of two quantities).
To close this brief description of the design decisions behind the
units library, a few words about temperatures. I have decided not to include support for temperature conversion in the initial versions of the library, and I am not sure if I will ever add it. Temperature is special in that the scales we use in daily life (nowadays mostly centigrades and Fahrenheit) have an arbitrarily chosen zero point that does not coincide with the "natural" zero point of temperature, which corresponds to the lowest possible energetic state of a system. Allowing for such units defined with an offset implies enormous complications: a distinction must be made between "differential" and "absolute" units, and arithmetic must be defined carefully to make sure that absolute units can be used only in addition with a differential unit or in subtraction. I don't think that introducing that amount of complexity is justified, considering that daily-life temperatures are rarely combined in computations with quantities of other dimensions.

Organizational Tips for Knitters and Crocheters by Kelsey Innis, San Francisco, CA
When knitting or crocheting, if you need to put down your work and you don't have a point protector handy, try using one of those erasers that fits over the end of your pencil. It's soft, so even if your needle doesn't fit snugly into the opening, you can jam it in. This is also useful when you are crocheting, especially with slippery yarn.
To use up yarn scraps, start a yarn ball! Just tie the scraps together. As long as it doesn't get too big , you can stash it in your bag. Just make sure you don't start using it for a project!
When knitting or crocheting, to help keep yarn tension even, wear a smooth gold ring on your ring finger and thread the yarn through it. This is especially helpful to those with arthritis or carpal tunnel syndrome.
To remove wrinkles from yarn that has been ripped out, wind the yarn around a large box, like a suit box. Tie it in four places with contrasting color yarn and remove the hank from the box. In the microwave, boil a bowl of water, turn off the microwave, and put the hank beside the bowl. Leave it in the microwave for about 20 minutes. Then lie the hank flat on a towel and let it dry completely. Wind it loosely into a ball.
When knitting or crocheting, try putting your ball of yarn into a Ziplock bag, almost completely closed except for where the yarn comes out. This prevents tangles and knots.

The 200bhp motorcycle is a replica of Ducati's Desmosedici GP6 MotoGP machine, which Loris Capirossi and Sete Gibernau rode in the 2006 World Championship and features the same chassis layout, bodywork and 'long bang' ...
