What's Popular In The Linux World This Year

Here's a look at some of the most popular Linux news stories from this year to date.
Now being in Orlando for
the UDS-P summit
, but with the event not officially getting underway until Monday (beginning with
Mark's keynote
where something
be announced
), there's time to catch up on a few things (especially as
the beer is crap
and the weather is less than ideal for VFR flight at the moment). In deciding what to write about next, I was looking at the most popular Phoronix stories from this calendar year.
For those interested in what the most popular Phoronix news stories were in the past ten months, they are listed below in order of popularity. Along with each popular Linux news item is a small redux.
Say Hello To Linux 3.0; Linus Just Tagged 3.0-rc1
- The Linux 3.0 kernel was
released in July
and is found in Ubuntu 11.10 among other Linux distributions.
Linus Talks Of Linux 2.8 Or Linux 3.0; Ending Linux 2.6
- Ditto. The
Linux 3.1 kernel
just recently succeeded the Linux 3.0 release. Linux 3.1 brought mainline support for the OpenRISC architecture, VFS scalability improvements, open-source GPU driver improvements, EXT3 barriers by default, and various other changes. The
Linux 3.2 kernel
is now what's under active development with some exciting stuff in the queue.
Doom 3 Source-Code To Be Released This Year
- All indications are the Doom 3 source-code will be released this calendar year still. id Software's Rage game was released in early October as the premiere title on the id Tech 5 engine.
Rage is not expected on Linux until 2012
, but it looks like id will be releasing the Doom 3 / id Tech 4 sources in November or early December.
The VirtualBox Kernel Driver Is Tainted Crap
- No changes here... On Monday will be some Ubuntu 11.10 benchmarks of Xen, KVM, and VirtualBox virtualization on an Intel Sandy Bridge system against bare metal.
The Challenge In Delivering Open-Source GPU Drivers
- It's still a challenge. This article was as a result of Intel's troubling Sandy Bridge launch where there wasn't a pleasant out-of-the-box experience at the time of launch. With Intel's next-generation Ivy Bridge hardware, the Linux support should be in much better shape.
New GIMP Release Has Working Single-Window Mode
- GIMP 2.8, which will be the stable version of this GIMP release that presents so many changes, is still not ready. GIMP 2.8 has been delayed repeatedly and right now it's not looking like this open-source image application will be released until H1'2012.
Intel Sandy Bridge Linux Graphics? It's A Challenge
- With Ubuntu 11.10 and Fedora 16 the Intel Sandy Bridge support is finally mature. There's been many performance improvements, new features enabled, greater OpenGL support, and more. Intel OSTC developers are now busy gearing up for the release of Ivy Bridge hardware in H1'2012 that should offer some very interesting Linux opportunities.
Linux 2.6.38-rc1 Is Here With Two Features Linus Loves
- The Linux 2.6.38 kernel has long since been succeeded.
Open-Source Projects Are Getting Ripped On Amazon
- Some of the open-source projects that are being compiled and sold on Amazon (albeit legally for the most part) are still being sold while others are "currently unavailable" according to the Amazon product pages.
AMD Opens Up XvBA! Their Catalyst Linux Video API
- The X-Video Bitstream Acceleration API is now more open than it once was, but XvBA is still not nearly as popular as NVIDIA's VDPAU or the cross-driver VA-API implementations. XvBA so far has largely been a flop and there's no indication yet of major changes for the proprietary driver. If/when UVD is finally implemented in the open-source Radeon stack (using UVD), it will probably be for VA-API/VDPAU. The Gallium3D-based implementation already goes for XvMC/VA-API/VDPAU interfaces.
GNOME & KDE Developers Go To Battle Over A Name
- The developers continued to battle over the "system settings" name.

Exclusive: Backed by a powerful right-wing media and aggressive Tea Party activists, Republicans appear unafraid of any political risks from their out-of-hand rejection of President Barack Obama's jobs bill. The GOP senses its anti-government message remains potent, writes Robert Parry.
'Occupy' Movement Surfaces in Tulsa
The "99 Percent" movement continues to grow, surfacing not only in New York, Washington and other major cities like Boston, Chicago and Los Angeles – but in smaller cities, even in conservative bastions like Tulsa, Oklahoma, as Richard L. Fricker reports.
GOP Sees 'Mob' in Wall St. Protests
The Republican complaint that any talk about raising taxes on the rich is "class warfare" has now refocused on the protests against Wall Street greed as an example of "mob" rule, instigated by President Barack Obama. But Danny Schechter finds the GOP accusation absurd.
Washington Protest Stays Put
Across the United States, the 99 Percent Movement is occupying more and more parks to protest America's growing economic inequality. In Washington DC, activist Kevin Zeese reports on the protest at Freedom Plaza near the Treasury building.
Reagan's 'Greed Is Good' Folly
Exclusive: For three decades, the United States has undertaken an extraordinary social experiment, incentivizing greed among the richest Americans by cutting their top tax rates in half or more. The results are now in from Ronald Reagan's bold gamble and Robert Parry says they aren't good.
Occupying the Heart of the Beast
Finally, a truly "populist" movement – not like the Tea Party funded by billionaires to serve the interests of billionaires – has arisen in America to challenge the growing economic inequities in U.S. society. Phil Rockstroh found his time with the "99 Percent" movement at the newly dubbed Liberty Plaza invigorating.
From Boston with the "99 Percent"
The "99 Percent" movement – arising across the United States – represents the first major public manifestation of disgust and fury at the rampant greed that has concentrated the nation's wealth with the top "One Percent." Economic journalist Mark Provost reports on his experience at one front in Boston.
US Pols Say the Darnedest Things
As American politics continues its sorry decline – with many elected officials now sounding as goofy as any loud-mouth radio host – there are more and more suggestions about the need for reform, as Michael Winship observes.
'Occupy Wall Street' Movement Grows
The economic distress caused by out-of-control Wall Street greed finally has prompted a dramatic public response in the form of protesters occupying a park in the Financial District of New York City. Slowly, the movement has attracted broader support, reports Danny Schechter.
Would the Founders Back Health Law?
Exclusive: President Barack Obama's health care law is heading to the rightist-dominated U.S. Supreme Court which may render a decision during the heat of Campaign 2012. Some Republican jurists are sure to claim that the law violates the "originalist" thinking of the Founders, but Robert Parry offers a differing view.

In the light of recently reported pressure-volume-temperature relationships in diamond, we show that the self-diffusion coefficient of diamond as a function of temperature and pressure can be satisfactory reproduced in terms of the bulk elastic and expansivity data by means of a thermodynamical model that interconnects the parameters of point defects to the bulk properties. Our calculated self-diffusion coefficients are in good agreement with the experimental ones when the uncertainties are taken into account.

There has been a lot of talk as of late about the receding importance of brick and mortar gallery spaces and a perceived dearth of quality programming at those that still exist. While the internet and the general ease of global communication are sited as causes, the rise of the art fair is most often blamed for the trend. I did not see a lot of evidence of gallery Armageddon as I conducted my monthly review of painting shows. Even on the eve of art world spring break (aka Miami art fair week), dozens of commercial spaces around the country are mounting first-rate solo and group exhibitions.
New American Paintings' alumni look great this month. In Chicago, one of the city's most interesting emerging artists, Dan Gunn, has new abstract work at Monique Meloche, as does Terence Hannum at Guest Spot in Baltimore and Seth Adelsberger at ltd los angeles. In New Orleans, Havana-born local legend Luis Cruz Azaceta looks good at Arthur Roger Gallery. My own gallery in Boston has been taken over by the great Franklin Evans, who is presenting new paintings in the context of a floor to ceiling installation. Former New York City dealer, and all around great guy, Jeff Bailey, has relocated to Hudson, NY, where, this month, he is presenting work by University of Iowa Professor and painters' painter, John Dilg. In the City, Sarah McEneaney continues to blow me away with her suite of hard won new paintings at Tibor de Nagy (Be sure to read Roberta Smith's review of the show in the New York Times.)
Jaqueline Cedar. Courtesy of Gallery 106 Green, Brooklyn.
I want to give a special shout out to one of my favorite emerging artists, Jaqueline Cedar, who has four new large-scale paintings at Gallery 106 Green in Brooklyn. I first did a studio visit with her when she was finishing her B.F.A. at UCLA, and she was already a skilled painter. She subsequently attended Columbia and since graduating in 2009 has only gotten stronger and stronger as time goes by.
Some of the many strong solo exhibitions around the country this month include: Angelbert Metoyer at Deborah Colton Gallery in Houston; Donald Moffett at Lora Reynolds Gallery in Austin; a beautiful show of figurative works on paper by New York School founding member Jack Tworkov at Valerie Carberry Gallery in Chicago; Brian Bress at Cherry and Martin and a major show of new work by Jonas Wood in David Kordansky's cavernous new gallery space, both in Los Angeles; and Whiting Tennis at Greg Kucera Gallery in Seattle. As usual, New York City is brimming over with strong shows. Top among them for me are: Bill Traylor at Betty Cunningham Gallery; Lily Ludlow at CANADA; Alexander Ross at David Nolan Gallery; Sean Landers at Petzel; R.H. Quaytman at Gladstone Gallery; Ridley Howard at Koenig & Clinton; Huguette Caland at Lombard Freid Gallery; Gladys Nilsson at Garth Greenan Gallery; Kara Walker at Sikkema Jenkins & Co.; and be sure to catch the work of emerging artist Ted Gahl in a project room show soon to open at Zach Feuer.
I am a huge fan of well-conceived group exhibitions of which there are a number around the country this month. Two in particular caught my eye, not only because they are well curated, but because, as a pair, they effectively speak to disparate, but vital tendencies within the realm of painting. In Los Angeles, Overduin & Co. presents "Seven Reeds," a group exhibition that includes an international cast of five of the most talked about emerging artists on the planet – including Jacob Kassay, Julia Rommel and Fredrik Vaerslev - each of whom are pushing abstraction to new places. On the opposite coast in Brooklyn, The Journal Gallery has just opened "The Great Figure." In this show six artists working in a figurative mode – including Dana Schutz, Henry Taylor and past NAP cover artist Keith Mayerson – demonstrate how the oldest of subject matters can, in the right hands, be as relevant as ever. - Steven Zevitas, Publisher

Rebecca Farr's Sweet Broken Now
Rebecca Farr's recent solo show at Klowden-Mann was a strong force to be reckoned with--both in terms of the physical presence of her paintings and in the contending contemplation her subject demanded.
With heavy paint on blotted and torn, layered paper, Farr collages print photos from 1970s and 80s coffee table books as her source material. She layers those with paper and heavy paint on wood panel, creating works that feel dense and heavy, yet very exciting and current.
Farr paints photos into vague suggestions of landscape paintings, as if her subjects inhabit a ghost world or ethereal dream. In "Sweet Broken Now," Farr's third solo show at Klowden-Mann, Farr made Manifest Destiny her subject of inquiry and aimed to capture the complex history arising from the ideology and religious fervor that justified white westward expansion during the early 1900s. – Ellen C. Caldwell, Los Angeles Contributor

Being There Again and Again: Joy Garnett at Platform Gallery
Most of the time, as soon as I am awake, I begin scrolling through the layers of news on my phone, while still laying in bed. The ISIS updates, the new Ebola cases, and the pithy comments on the latest art world drama barely stick during this first round of skimming headlines and images, my awareness of the day coming into focus as I work through the tweets and the "Likes." This activity would seem to have little to do with the meticulous, studied ways we usually interact with paintings. However, Brooklyn artist Joy Garnett proves otherwise, as evidenced by her new show, Being There, which opened at Seattle's Platform Gallery last week. Pulling images from the media—including photographs of conflicts in the Middle East and screen grabs of leaked US military videos—Garnett's new paintings bleed and blur their scenes into places that seem as familiar as the widely-disseminated photographs they reference. However, the artist also brings out the distant, fleeting way we absorb these images, turning their subjects into things we can never fully know. —Erin Langner, Seattle contributor

Far North: Interview with Beau Carey
As a culmination of a recent winter residency in Denali National Park, Far North marks Beau Carey's second exhibition at Goodwin Fine Art in Denver, CO. This recent offering showcases a group of exquisitely painted artic environments that highlight contemporary themes of globalization, environmental concerns and the variety of constructs that shape our perceptions of landscape. No stranger to the harsh conditions of the northern-most hemisphere, Carey's inclusion in the Artic Circle Residency in 2012 prompted an interest in coastal surveying and profiling, a theme he hopes to continue next year during a residency at Rabbit Island, a remote, 91-acre forested island on Lake Superior three miles east of Michigan's Keweenaw Peninsula. I recently caught up with Carey to discuss his work. – Claude Smith, Albuquerque/Santa Fe Contributor

The Notion of Landscape: Michael Cook
Albuquerque-based artist Michael Cook (#42, #114) has long been exploring the vast terrain of both landscape and our perceptions of it. Citing an interest in semiotics and specifically, the point at which "objects become visible in culture" he often conflates symbols, language and diagrams to build complex, multi-layered compositions. In his current exhibition The Notion of Landscape at the Francis McCray Gallery of Contemporary Art at Western New Mexico University in Silver City, NM, Cook presents a diverse body of work that spans the years 1981-2009. –Claude Smith Albuquerque/Santa Fe Contributor

After a sleepy summer the art world is once again up and running full tilt. Among the hundreds of painting shows on view throughout the country this month are close to three-dozen solos by New American Paintings' alumni. They range from shows by talented emerging artists such as Samantha Bittman at Andrew Rafacz in Chicago and Suzannah Sinclair in Boston to strong mid-career painters such as the phenomenal Sarah McEneaney at Tibor de Nagy in New York City and Emily Eveleth at Miller Yezerski Gallery in Boston. I want to give a special shout out to my buddy Eddie Martinez, whose show at the new Kohn Gallery space in Los Angeles confirms what many already knew: Eddie is one of the best natural painters of his generation.

There is a lot of good abstraction on view this month. For those in New York City, the fearless Chris Martin has his debut at Anton Kern Gallery and the much-hyped Norwegian artist Fredrik Vaerslev can be considered at Andrew Kreps Gallery. Also in New York, co-curator for the 2014 Whitney Biennial and juror for our upcoming Northeast issue, Michelle Grabner, has just opened a must-see show at James Cohan Gallery. In Los Angeles, don't miss Sam Falls at Hannah Hoffman and Pia Fries at Christopher Grimes Gallery. If you are in the Bay Area, visit Jessica Silverman Gallery to see the work of Hugh Scott-Douglas, who, like an increasing number of emerging artists, is obsessed with process.
While abstraction continues to look good this season, representational painting has been making a comeback and it owns the month. Over the past two years, more and more young artists have been engaging with imagery, in particular the figure. There are the aforementioned exhibitions by Sarah McEneaney and Suzannah Sinclair to consider. In New York City, emerging artist Gina Beavers continues to push impasto to the limits in her new group of paintings at Clifton Benevento and the virtuosic Angela Dufresne has a new suite of paintings with figure in landscape at Monya Rowe Gallery. Other shows of note around the country include: Storm Tharp at PDX in Portland, OR; Angela Fraleigh at Inman Gallery in Houston; Whitney Bedford at Carrie Secrist in Chicago; and the group show "Bedtime Stories" at Alpha Gallery in Boston.
In a quiet, but extraordinary exhibition at Matthew Marks Gallery in New York, LA-based artist Paul Sietsema renders carefully selected imagery with such technical dexterity that they almost revert to real objects. Sietsema is not interested in trompe-l'oeil for the sake of showing off; at the end of the day, his paintings and works on paper are a highly considered critique of the production of cultural objects and the roles that they play as they circulate. Taken as a whole, this exhibition represents the various aspects of how a painting can function. - Steven Zevitas, Publisher

Matt Magee at James Kelly Contemporary
In his first solo exhibition at James Kelly Contemporary in Santa Fe, Phoenix-based artist and recent NYC transplant Matt Magee (NAP #14) offers a bit of a departure from his typically looser, more shapely and often-codified works. In this stripped-down, analytical offering, Recent Paintings and Sculptures features works inspired by observed and imagined forms, collections, data analysis and the Arizona sky. – Claude Smith, Albuquerque/Santa Fe Contributor

Erupting Unknowns: Ryan Molenkamp's Fear of Volcanoes
The first time I came to Seattle was to board a cruise ship, the same reason so many other Northwest outsiders first experience this city. Since I had been traveling with family (not to mention thousands of other cruisers), the only time I recall being alone on the trip was during the cab ride back to the airport, after we returned to port. Sitting in the backseat, moving alongside the lines of cars traveling southbound on I-5, the faint image of Mount Rainier floated among the license plates. It was among this swarm of rendered, friendlier mountains that I first saw the real Rainier, looming seventy miles away, above the mass of clouds that coated the passenger-side window.
Although I have lived here for nine years, and few things I saw during the cruise visit look the same to me now as they did fresh off the ship, Mount Rainier still radiates the same sense of severe immensity, even during its sunniest appearances. Walking into SAM Gallery's Made in the Northwest show, I was met with a similar hum of severity—this time coming from Seattle artist Ryan Molenkamp's (NAP #97) painted volcanoes. — Erin Langner, Seattle contributor

Top 9 Reasons to Install a Whole House Dehumidifier
Whole House Dehumidifier Benefits
There are many reasons to install a whole house dehumidifier in a home. The main reasons why people install a whole house dehumidifier in their homes is for comfort, increased air quality, allergy relief, and property protection. Ease of use, no buckets to empty and a healthy humidity level throughout the entire home are additional reasons. An increase in property value and preventing moisture damage are more reasons why whole house humidifiers are installed.
To begin what is a whole house dehumidifier? A whole house dehumidifier is a dehumidifier that removes moisture from the air throughout the entire home and not just one room. Instead of using portable dehumidifiers in every room in a home, you can keep the humidity in your home at a constant, healthy level by just setting the thermostat to your desired humidity level. A whole house dehumidifier is connected to the heating and cooling system in your home and water will be drained off to pipes in your plumbing system. So there will be no more buckets to empty, wires from portable dehumidifiers and simply pressing a few buttons on a thermostat is all it will take to have a healthy humidity level in your home. The ease of use of a whole house dehumidifier is the primary reason why people install whole house dehumidifiers.
A high level of humidity in a home can make you feel uncomfortable and lead to a sticky feeling on your skin. Having a humidity level between 40%-60% is recommended and will remove any sticky or clammy feelings due to high humidity levels in a home. High levels of humidity can cause mold and mildew to multiply and grow throughout a home triggering allergies. In severe cases of high humidity levels in a home water stains can appear on walls and on ceilings. Paint can start to peel off and this can become unsightly. Furniture and the actual home if made from wood can begin to rot if the humidity is very high in a home. A whole house dehumidifier can maintain a comfortable level of humidity, prevent mold and mildew from growing rapidly throughout your home and prevent water damage and rot.
A whole house dehumidifier is a big asset in a humid climate and can save a homeowner lots of money because it is cheaper to operate than turning the AC to reduce the humidity in a home and does a much better job. It will also add to the property value of a home if a homeowner wishes to sell it in the future. Whole house dehumidifiers also pump in fresh air from the outside and increase the air quality of the home. This prevents pollutants from accumulating and can have a positive affect on health.
So there you have it, some of the reasons why people install a whole house dehumidifier in a home. To summarize they are:
1. Comfort, no more sticky air in the home.
2. Allergy relief, mold and mildew growth is reduced that can trigger allergies.
3. Increased air quality, fresh air is pumped from the outside and pollutants are brought out of the home.
4. Prevent moisture damage such as water stains on walls and ceilings.
5. Increase the property value of the home especially for homes in humid climates.
6. Ease of use, no buckets to empty out and no need for portable dehumidifiers.
7. Property protection, wood furniture and structures can rot.
8. Prevent musty smells from high levels of moisture in the air.
9. Long term energy savings, no need to run the AC or other dehumidifiers.

The One Home Tip You Must Never Forget
Heating & Cooling Systems' Air Quality
Should I be Concerned With Indoor Air Quality?
There are a vast amount of good reasons for wanting to benefit from indoor air quality in your home or business. Every one likes to avoid health problems caused by bad odors, moisture causing mold, and poor ventilation. These are only a handful of reasons, but poor air quality can lead to breathing problems like asthma and allergies, and respiratory illness. Dust and pollution sweeping through your home due to poor ventilation and poor air quality. There are many risks when air quality in a home is not taken seriously. Inside pollution can have higher levels of pollution than outside pollution. And the energy efficiency can cause energy bills to raise without any benefits to your living environment. Think of all the discomforts, and damage to your home and furniture because of poor air quality flowing through your home.
Any one should be concerned about the air quality in their home. The risks of not breathing clean air, are not worth the harm done to your health and family.Studies have proven how pollution levels are much higher inside a home than they are outside. There are so many sources that pollute our air, and what we store in our homes add to this problem, such as cleaning chemicals, pet dander, and pesticides to name a few that are responsible for the need of good circulation in our homes. Imagine what you breathe when you sleep and eat, and the moisture created with appliances and bathing. These are thigs we do without even thinking about how it can affect the air quality.
What Does an Air Handler Do For My System?
An air handler is the solution to this annoying problem, because an air handler efficiently distributes, and circulates the air flow throughout your home. Air handlers work in any season assuring that a home is provided with the cool or warm air needed to circulate your home, while keeping your energy bills appropriately moderate. Air handlers help reduce dust particles, pollution, odors, allergens, mildew, and bacteria, among other discomforts caused by poor air quality. There is no more need for a gas furnace, when you have an air handler. Air handlers work side by side an air conditioning unit or heating system. Air handlers are controlled by thermostats, filtering dust and impurities that flow into our homes. Providing healthy clean air, and comfort.

Game Changing Cooling System Tip!
Save Money With AC Maintenance
How does preventive maintenance ultimately save me money? Why is this important? These are two of the most important questions that a company would ask. Most companies make the mistake to think that they could save money by not spending for the preventive maintenance items that are needed. If you take the terms Preventive AC maintenance to heart, the very term means to prevent any break down and loss through a regular maintenance check schedule.
First we must look at the cost of an entire replacement weather it be a compressor or an engine, the cost would be in the thousands of dollars. Not really too good on the saving money part of the plan, bit had they had a budget and a preventive maintenance plan that company could have avoided such a tragic expense.
What any person needs to know when it comes to preventive maintenance is that you should have a preventive maintenance agreement plan with your company which will prevent any unnecessary break downs and costly repairs. The true reason for this is to keep your unit working and in good maintenance will pro long the life of any unit or engine. The old saying of "out of site, out of mind" may not be the wisest choice in this matter, and will definitely cost you in the long run for all of the neglect that will occur.
This was only a brief insight into why a good preventive maintenance schedule will not only keep things working efficiently, but will reduce the out of pocket expenses that will occur when you will have to needlessly replace the unit that may have been saved through proper maintenance and routine system checks. In other words, the military has vehicles that last a long time, even through 20 to 50 years. this is why, unlike most people they are constantly have routine preventive maintenance checks and services to keep the vehicles running. As a famous person once said, you could have the state of the art machine and without proper preventive maintenance you will find countless bugs and glitches will be with that machine. On the other hand, you could have a machine that is 60 years old and shakes like a rattle, but there are no bugs or glitches because of good preventive maintenance. That is why good preventive maintenance increases machinery life and will help you save money later.

Is Melting In Your Sleep On Your Winter List? Didn't Think So!
What To Do When Dealing With a Cooling Emergency
A cooling emergency can happen at any time, and is especially agonizing and stressful when it goes out on the hottest summer day. Regardless to when your AC goes out, it can go from bad to worse if you have elderly parents or small children in the house. There are generally three reasons why your AC might stop working: not enough refrigerant, dirty condensed coils or a dirty air filter.
Not Enough Refrigerant
Refrigerant keeps your AC unit cool. If the coolant level drops too low, it will cause your AC to run too hard, which will eventually cause it to overheat.
Dirty Condensed Coils
The condenser coils in your AC are filled with refrigerant. These coils run through the outside sheathing of your unit. When these coils get dirty, the dirt build-up creates insulation around the coils which prevents the heat from escaping. This disruption increases the temperature in the AC unit which causes it to overheat.
Dirty Air Filter
The filter protects your AC unit from dirt and debris that may get trapped inside. If the filter is not changed, it can get too dirty and clogged, which prevents the proper airflow. When the airflow is interrupted, it can cause your unit to work too hard and overheat.
What To Do With a Cooling Emergency?
When your cooling system is on the fritz, it is important to get it fixed and up and running again, especially if you have allergy sufferers, small children or elderly parents in your home. Commercial cooling emergency services provide 24 hour HVAC emergency services for such occasions. Some cooling emergency services even offer emergency service discounts to new clients.
Whether your AC unit has shut down completely or just requires minor repairs, an experienced, licensed, bonded, insured and EPA certified technician will come to your home or business and replace or repair your AC unit.
When researching a certified technician, keep in mind that locally owned HVAC contractors know the community and can provide services accordingly. Certified technicians are highly trained in central air conditioning, refrigerant leaks, evaporator coils, air handlers, split systems, blower motors and more.

Keep Your AC Ducts Clean!
How Often Should I Have My AC Ducts Inspected?
It is a question that many customers are inclined to ask and although the primary reason may be to adjust their budget, knowing the appropriate amount of frequency to inspect your AC ducts will ensure that other issues are dealt with in a timely manner.
The ducts are intended to provide free air from the exterior of the home into the residence and out again, which is why there should be almost no resistance or blockages along the way. Because of the elements that the ducts are exposed to, unwanted pollutants can breach the ducts and set up shop as they lay in wait to convert into bacteria.
Breathe In Please
Considering the fact that the air ducts are so important, especially when it comes to improving the air quality in your home, it is recommended that they be inspected at least once but preferably twice every year. The inspection will serve to identify sources of contamination that may be contributing to an unhealthy air flow. The frequency of the inspection may go up if the people in your household engage in smoking. If the humidity levels are higher than usual, it may be a good idea to have an inspection carried out, if only for the fact that the possibility of mold built up will increase.
Understanding The Process
In addition to the build-up of pollutants, it is possible for your ducts to develop a leak thanks to outside interference or even rodents. These same unwanted guests can leave droppings in the ducts and the quality of the air coming into your home will now be mixed with the fragrance of those particles. The longer it takes to have the ducts clear; the more build up will occur and the worse it will get for the inhabitants of the home.
What You Gain
It is important to understand that cleaning your ducts should be handled by a professional, if only for the fact that they have the experience and tools necessary to do the job right. Homeowners should never attempt to inspect or clean their own ducts because they may simply stir things up and make it worse. A professional duct cleaner will check for blockages and have them removed. Any leaks or hidden damages to the ducts will be rectified immediately and if necessary, the ducts will be sealed and returned to the way it should be. After your initial inspection, it is a good idea to set up a regular inspection plan for at least every 4 to six months.

It's Duct Inspection Time!
Why Should I Have My HVAC Inspected?
What Is An HVAC?
An HVAC unit is the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system of your home. It helps keep your home comfortable and can provide clean air.
How Often Should I Have My HVAC Inspected?
Since different mechanical parts of an HVAC unit work in different ways due to the season, it should be inspected twice a year. The air conditioning unit and all the components in the Spring, and the furnace and its' components inspected in the early fall.
Reasons to Have My HVAC Inspected
There are many reasons to have your HVAC inspected, most of all for safety reasons. When an inspection is conducted, the professional will investigate for any potential problems, and current problems, bacteria, and will verify all the various mechanical parts are running smoothly and effectively. They will also check the airflow and the electrical and gas connections and much more to ensure that you have the safest, best running unit that you can have. Any minor problem with these systems may leave you in the cold, the heat, or even without a home.
The HVAC specialist will also change, clean, or maybe even suggest a better filter for your particular model. Some of them can virtually eliminate all dust and pollen from being circulated through the air of your home. This can make allergy season much easier on the sufferer.
Carbon monoxide levels can also be tested at this time to ease your mind. With homes becoming more energy efficient, it is more important now than ever to make sure to have it tested for your family's safety.
How Do I Know Which Inspector to Choose?
The best way to choose the HVAC specialist for your furnace is simply to call around. Ask questions to find out if they service your make and model. Are they licensed, insured, certified, and bonded? How long have they been in business and how long have they been working on your brand HVAC? If you are at all skeptical, call state or city officials and see if they recommend them. You are perfectly all right to ask for references, too. After all, it's your unit, your money and your safety in their hands.

What are the Benefits of Duct Cleaning?
Benefits of Duct Cleaning
When you hear about duct cleaning, you might look at it as a pointless activity designed to siphon money from individuals who don't know what they are paying for. After all, your vents still work, so why do you need cleaning? Well, while your vents may still work, by not having your ducts cleaned you are actually throwing hundreds of dollars a year down the drain in excess energy bills, not to mention other problems you do not even know you are experiencing. While this is not something you can do on your own, but instead is something you need to bring a professional in to do. Thankfully though, there are all sorts of different benefits of duct cleaning that make it well worth your wild.
Cheaper Energy Bills
First off, over time as dust and other debris starts to collect in your ducts, it reduces the efficiency of the heating and cooling system. This forces your furnace or AC unit to work extra hard, shooting up your energy bill. When you have your duct cleaned, this corrects the problem and it helps remove all of the debris inside of the vents, improving the functionality of both heating and cooling systems, helping you save money over the long term.
Improved Air Quality
When the vents start to collect dust, it ultimately is going to push the dust and other dander into the air. This means, you are breathing all of this dust and dander in while you are inside of your home. This can cause health problems and other breathing conditions that might prove dangerous to you or someone else who is suffering from asthma. The duct cleaning removes all of this and improves the quality of air inside of your home.
Spot Problems
During the duct cleaning, the HVAC professional is able to look through your duct system and spot any potential problems. This can range anywhere from a general leak in the vent to other issues taking place in your HVAC equipment. When this happens, the professional is able to recommend potential corrections to the equipment, which helps you avoid any sort of extremely negative and drastic problem you might run into. This way, your heat remains running smoothly during the winter months and the cold air stays on during the summer months, without any interruptions.

Top Considerations When Hiring a Heating & Cooling Technician
What To Look For When Hiring a Heating & Cooling Company
There are three things that you need to make sure of before you hire any company to repair the heating or cooling system in your home or your business. You want to be certain that the company that you hire has the experience to make the necessary repairs even when the job is challenging and complex. You also want to know that the company has the insurance coverage that is necessary to guarantee that if there is any damage caused to your home or business, you will not end up paying for it out of pocket. Finally, any company that you hire should be properly licensed and have all the necessary credentials so you know that you are getting a company that can do the job without causing you even more problems
It is a risky proposition, even under the best of circumstances, to hire a company that is not properly licensed. The biggest problem here is that you are likely to hire someone that does more harm than good. You may also avoid any applicable warranties on your heating or cooling system because someone is performing work on the system that has no license to do so. You may also be setting yourself up to be forced to deal with a catastrophic failure of the entire system at a later date.
This is one of the most important things that you could possibly consider. If the company you hire fails to have the necessary level of experience, you are setting yourself up for failure because they may not be able to fix a problem that is relatively basic, much less a problem that is far more challenging than what they might see on a daily basis. It is only with experience that many technicians are able to truly understand exactly what is going on
It is important for you to remember that you are hiring a heating and cooling company because you have a problem and you need them to come out and fix it. This is already costing you valuable time and expense and the last thing that you need to deal with is a company that causes some type of damage and then fails to have the necessary level of insurance coverage to pay for it. If you take a chance such as this, you may find that you are filing a claim with your homeowner's insurance to try to cover the damages or you may find that you have to pay for them yourself because there is no one else who is willing to do it.when there are no obvious solutions.
As a result, you should always make sure that any company that you hire is able to produce documentation regarding their licensure and their insurance coverage, and that they will only send an experienced technician to your home or business.
We want to make sure our Ft. Lauderdale customers are happy, so leave the heating and cooling projects up to AAA Modern Air. Don't delay and call (954) 921-4486 today!
Benefits of a Whole House Humidifier
How Can a Whole House Humidifier Improve My Life?
When you are in your home you deserve to be comfortable. It does not matter is your home looks like it has been lifted from the pages of a lifestyle magazine if you are not comfortable. Part of what determines your level of comfort in your home is your air quality. If you want a better quality of comfort in your home, consider having a HVAC whole house humidifier system installed. The benefits of having a whole house humidifier include reduced allergy aggravation, reduced risk of mold and a greater sense of overall comfort in your home.
Reduces Allegies
The quality of your air directly impacts your health. Air that is overly dry can spur asthma and allergy symptoms. Dry air can lead to dry noses, sore throats and cracked and itchy skin. It is also not surprising that many viruses thrive in low-humidity environments. If you are in a low humidity environment, you are in a breeding ground for cold, flu and other respiratory ailments.
Reduces Mold
A HVAC system also controls moisture. The moisture levels are carefully monitored by the system, because an excess of moisture can create mold. If you are breathing in mold, you are likely to get sick. When humidity levels are above 70 percent this a threat to a building because it is a prime position for mold formulation. Since a HVAC whole house humidifier system closely monitors and controls the level of moisture, you will not experience the nuisance of mold growth in your home.
Provides Overall Comfort
If your air is not overly dry or overly moist, you will be the most comfortable. You will not be as susceptible to allergies, asthma or other respiratory ailments. If you can breathe easily, you can typically rest better. If you experience better sleep, you will be able to perform your daily tasks with more ease. Being comfortable with the air quality in your home actually benefits you in many other aspects of your life. It may seem to oversimplify the matter, but if you can breathe, rest and recharge in your own home, you can experience greater productivity in other areas of your life.
A HVAC whole house humidifier system can greatly enhance your life. This system benefits you by reducing allergies, reducing risk of mold and providing overall comfort in your home. Everyone deserves to be comfortable in their own home!

7 Pre-winter HVAC Tune-up Services
How Should I Prepare For the Winter?
Winter will be here before we know it. It is always a good idea to do annual home maintenance and fall is the perfect season to do it. Your HVAC system is an invaluable part of your home and when it performs correctly keeps everyone comfortably warm or cool, depending on the season. No one wants their HVAC system to malfunction during the freezing cold of winter. Fall is the season to make sure all is working correctly and ensure that your system will work correctly all winter long.
Here are 7 services that will help your HVAC do it's intended job.
1. Do a visual inspection of your HVAC's exterior. Remove anything flammable and keep the area around your HVAC clear.
2. After checking the exterior of your HVAC it is time to call in an HVAC professional to do an equipment evaluation. He/she can determine if your current equipment is working efficiently. If all is well then move on to number 3. If your current equipment is not performing competently then consider upgrading and think about an Energy Star model. Energy Star models are efficient which means you save money and help protect the environment.
3. If your existing HVAC is performing well have your HVAC professional do a seasonal tune up. A proper tune-up can reduce your energy bill, ensure your safety, help your system work more efficiently, and will satisfy the conditions of your manufacturer's warranty. Most importantly, you can rest easy knowing that your home will be warm for the winter months!
4. Have your air filter changed regularly, at minimum change every 3 months. If your air filter is dirty after 1 month of use then have it changed. This prevents dust from building up and will keep your HVAC running smoothly.
5. Consider having your HVAC professional install a programmable thermostat. If you are away from home for long periods of time during the day then a programmable thermostat is a great idea and can save you a sizable amount of money annually.
6. Get your heating and cooling ducts cleaned, especially if you have done an in home construction project this summer or you can see visible mold around your ducts.
7. Have your heating and cooling ducts sealed. This will help your HVAC system work more efficiently and helps keep your house warmer or cooler depending on the season.
It is time to prepare your HVAC system for the winter! Call AAA Modern Air today at (954) 921-4486 for our professional services in the Ft. Lauderdale area.

"Portland Food"/Must-try.. ~2 days
I will be in the downtown area for ~2 days a Sunday and part of Monday--I would like to know what is the best of the best. I will probably walk everywhere or take public transportation, but please let me know where I should go for street food, novelties, maybe a lunch, maybe an ok (not TOO nice) dinner. A range. This will be after my conference, so I will probably be burned out and just want the real-deal good food (and not want to wear anymore formal clothing...).
(I am thinking of staying at the Benson or Paramont because there's a reduced rate for my conference.. but if you have opinions/suggestions, let me know.)
Thanks! I have heard great things.
I suggest you take some time to read the Portland section. You will see a wealth of quality reports that will give you what you ask for. Read them. Then ask questions on this thread. You'll get replies.
Check the Kimpton's (vintage plaza and ?) in Portland. I think they are better than the Benson.
Lots great info in the Portland thread - tons of must eat lists, Monday in Portland recommendations, etc.
re: ronin223
Bunk breaky sando with ham is the bomb (does anyone still say that?) Cafe Velo is carrying Lauretta Jean's biscuits which are brilliant. Also don't miss the apple fritters at Blue Star, the muffins and cannele at Courier (coffee too, or go for Maglia Rosa).
re: grayelf
Thank you ronin223 and grayelf for being specific. I have read a lot of the other threads, but I was looking for specific, individual items (as opposed to saying: go read and then ask questions...) and both of you sent me ideas! Thank you
re: GraceW
My pleasure -- Portland is a fun city for food, whether you're a visitor like us or a local. I'm not sure how easy they are to get to by transit but we've also really enjoyed the chicken dish at Pdx671 food cart (snacks from Guam) and found the dishes at Guero ('nother food cart) to be excellent as well -- tacos, tortas and bolos (bowls), with special props to their vegetarian "huarache" patty.
The newish outpost of Case Study on 10th is carrying Nuvrei baked goods -- love their monkey bread and anything pastryish with seasonal fruits but I'd pass on the savoury stuff. Also wasn't blown away by the coffee here though they did a very nice steamed milk.
Grain and Gristle could work for your casual, real-deal meal, though again not sure re transit. Great burger (wish I'd got the onion rings though -- they looked marvelous, not rings but shreds of onion), fantastic braised pork, beautiful hamsteak special and really well executed veg accompaniments to the elevated comfort food mains. Solid, well-priced draft beer selection as well available in 8, 12 and pint pours.
The Paramount struck us as loud what with the very early morning garbage trucks and general downtown sounds going on outside. Haven't stayed at the Benson.
re: grayelf
I am sorry--this is probably a "dumb" question, but do the foodcarts accept credit-cards?
re: GraceW
An increasing number of carts accept cards. Most don't.
Take the 14 bus from downtown which runs down Hawthorne. There is a foodcart area at 12th and Hawthorne.
There are a variety of places to eat all but you might want to check out EVOE for a late lunch or early dinner (it closes at 7pm) and might be in that nice but not too expensive pricepoint for your dinner. It is a casual dining space around the kitchen, which adjoins Pastaworks (gourmet market) which adjoins Powells Books cooking/garden store around 37th.
re: GraceW
Does it have to be a seafood place? What have you settled on for your other meals?
re: GraceW
Definitely cant recommend Dan or Ring Side...or Jakes for seafood.
Riffle is completely hit and miss. Hit and it is great. Missing and not.
Try http://blockandtacklepdx.com/ (brand new website...dont judge it by this) or their intimate high-end fish place - ROE - that just won Visionary of the Year.
re: DanielLP
I am with DanielLP on the seafood recs. Problem is the OP is only here Sunday/Monday and I believe Roe is only open Thurs-Saturday.
Block & Tackle is probably a great option if she wants to cross the river, but she seems to want to stay downtown.

Several years ago I preached a sermon on Joshua 9, a chapter my Bible titles, "The Gibeonite Deception." The story tells how the Israelites, fresh from their initial victories over the Canaanites at Jericho and Ai, were tricked into making covenant with the people from the city of Gibeon. The Gibeonites were Hivites (Josh 9:7), one of the Canaanite people groups God had singled out when he commanded the people of Israel, "You shall make no covenant with them" (Deut 7:1-2). Unlike the cities outside the borders of the promised land, God commanded that the Canaanite cities like Gibeon should be kharam-ed, put under a ban of complete destruction (Deut 20:10-18).
The Gibeonites may have been aware of God's command because they came up with an elaborate ruse to fool the Israelites into thinking that they were not from Canaan. When the Gibeonites heard that the Israelite army was approaching, rather than harness their chariots and sharpen their swords, they "took worn out sacks for their donkeys, and wineskins, worn-out and torn and mended, with worn-out patched sandals on their feet, and worn-out clothes;" they made sure "all their provisions were dry and crumbly" (Josh 9:4-5). They went to the Israelites, told them they had come from a distant country, and asked them to make a covenant. At first the Israelites were wary, but the crumbly provisions were enough to convince them that it was safe to make a covenant.
The text says, "The [Israelites] took some of the provisions, but they did not ask counsel from the LORD" (9:14). There's a good sermon in that verse: one that would remind us that we can't always trust our natural senses, but need supernatural direction from God. Man shall not make decisions based on crumbly bread alone.
However, that was not point of my sermon, and I don't think it's the central message of the passage. My Old Testament professor at Asbury Seminary, Lawson Stone, has pointed out that Joshua 9-11 does not focus on the actions of the Israelites, but the re-actions of the Canaanites. The subsections show a repeated pattern: the various Canaanites 1) hear their predicament, 2) respond, and 3) reap the consequences of their response. The section begins: "As soon as all the kings who were beyond the Jordan…heard [about the destruction of Jericho and Ai], they gathered together as one to fight against Joshua and Israel. But when the inhabitants of Gibeon heard… they on their part acted with cunning" (9:1-4). The same news prompts two different responses, two different strategies.
The Gibeonites "on their part, acted with cunning," or as the King James says, "They did work wilily." The wily work of the Gibeonites has occasioned a considerable amount of ethical debate. Is deception ever an acceptable means to achieve a desired end? More pointedly, could it ever be right to trick God's people into transgressing his explicit command, like Delilah tricked Samson? The text gives little help in answering these difficult ethical questions. The only help it offers for judging the scheme is its presentation the outcome.

In one of my darker days I played Hannah in Stoppard's Arcadia, a trip around a brilliant writers intellect, knowledge and passion, one of the most sublime pieces of writing an actor will encounter.
I would love to be writing this as a winsome 21-year-old heading out into the blue yonder with a bag full of student debt and pocket full of dreams. However I was never winsome at the best of times and 21 was a long, long time ago.
We're into the second week of rehearsals now. We've just had a session this morning with Scott (choreographer) and Grant (composer).
The good people of Newcastle Upon Tyne were given a small hint that I was about to take their beautiful city by storm, I think that perhaps my dear friend Banksy had left this modest token of his affection and respect!

Angelina Jolie has revealed she has hung on to her inner bad girl - but she saves it for partner Brad Pitt these days.
The 36-year-old actress is now a mother of six, but she was once a hard-partying Hollywood wild child.
Angelina told US TV show 60 Minutes: "I went through heavy, darker times and I survived them.
"I didn't die young, so I'm very lucky. There are other artists and people who didn't survive certain things."
"I'm still a bad girl. I still have that side of me. It's just in its place now ... It belongs to Brad," she added.

Pavithe Prince comes in wearing his
latest lovers face on his
own like a crown
with a smile that wins over
inhuman hearts,
for who can resist the
impeccable charm and the beauty
of sheer love incarnate?
blowing kisses and wooing anyone available, the
Rapists crawl on the dank walls, clawing
at the exposed mountains of flesh, ripping
through layer after layer of
thick veiny pulp
to stare into cold manipulative eyes,
an incurable hunger fueled by a power to
obtain the necessary, the fuckers will bleed,
and the Prince will
kiss the adoring young women, eye the men
by the wall, and move as a smooth liquid, glide
to seduce the wanting and the willing and
to find and
defile the
ones left unwanting, to force them a kiss
through two sets of lips, to
give what they fear,
to get what he needs.
