Couldn't Finish It (88)
Compact | Rate recommendations
So, it took me two months to read this one start to finish, but I did it. And I must say, I enjoyed it. Although I think George Eliot could have told the story just as well in 700 pages as in 840, there weren't any obvious spots I'd cut; no detailed accounts of politics at the time or how much things cost or nineteenth-century fishing practices.
I loved Dorothea most of any character, mostly because the mistakes she made---which were fairly big---were all made in a spirit of self-sacrifice and doing the right thing. The other characters in the novel run into trouble when they start acting in narrow self-interest. If you live in Middlemarch and lack self-reflection, Eliot has it in for you.
Of course, even with ample self-reflection, that doesn't necessarily mean everything's going to be coming up roses for you. This is a realistic book in the sense that the problems people face don't have clear-cut solutions, and even the "happy" endings aren't unequivocally happy.
But Dorothea is awesome because she's unrelenting about following her convictions, no matter what kind of discomfort it leads her into. Even when she's making really big errors in judgement, I still love her.
Dorothea is the agent of the only totally genuine conversation of the entire novel---and that doesn't happen until Chapter 81, nearly 800 pages into the book. This is why I think this book took so long to read: Things couldn't happen quickly because no one was being straight with anyone else. Everyone's calculating what they should say based on how they think the other person will react or how they want to make the other person react, and in the meantime acting behind each others' backs, and it's enough to make me want to pull my hair out sometimes. Just say what you mean, Middlemarchers! Jeez, Louise!
For the rest of the review, please visit my blog,
I love the Virginia Woolf quote about Middlemarch: "one of the few English novels written for grown-up people."
I loved this book, from beginning to end. I can't remember right now when I read it, or why on earth I didn't write a review!
Though #1book140 took two months to read it, I couldn't get past the first few chapters. Just couldn't dedicate the time, though I would have enjoyed it again. Glad I read it in college.
Tweets by Rebecca Mead.
Many characters, a very broad canvas in a fictitious Midlands town, it has many interweaving themes. I regret having to finish it, it was that good.

With a lingering scent of Adirondack Aftershave, (Old Woodsman) tantalizing my nostrils, I hightailed it for home.
When I returned to retrieve the canoe, early the following morning, the woods were eerily quiet. It was cool and damp, and very few bugs were in the air. Since I was dressed accordingly, I figured taking a few quick trolls across the pond would be in order.
I made a few passes, without a tap. But as soon as the sun was fully in the sky, I remembered why I came. Quickly, I packed up and paddled to shore, shouldered the canoe and beat a path to the car, before the full squadron could assemble.
I've battled the flying nuisances of the Adirondacks for many years, including black flies, No-See-Ums, deer flies and horse flies and an assortment of bees and wasps. I've never been forced to back down, until now, and I wonder why?
A number of factors may be at work. I'm older now, but obviously not much wiser, or I wouldn't still be subjecting myself to such abuse. I may no longer be thick-skinned, simply thick headed.
However, I believe the already abundant rains, combined with the winter's significant snow pack and the accompanying flooding, has served to raise the threshold. Certainly, the availability of breeding grounds has been increased, with lakes, streams and rivers all overflowing their banks to create vernal pools of stagnant water that are ideal for mosquitoes.
I also wonder if the region may already be beginning to see the effects of White Nose Syndrome, (WNS) a mysterious disease responsible for a significant decline in bat populations throughout the Northeast. It has since spread to seventeen states and four Canadian provinces.
Bats are a primary predator of night-flying insects and they devour billions of them every night. Some species, including the Little Brown Bat, eat 500 to 1,000 mosquitoes per hour.

Quinoa with Latin Flavors
From EatingWell: December 2005/January 2006
Cilantro, lime and scallions lend a bright finish to delicate quinoa. This versatile side pairs well with seafood, poultry or pork.

- 1 cup quinoa, (see Note)
- 2 teaspoons canola oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1 4-ounce can chopped green chiles
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 14-ounce can reduced-sodium chicken broth, or vegetable broth
- 1/4 cup pepitas, toasted (see Note)
- 3/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro
- 1/2 cup chopped scallions
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Toast quinoa in a large dry skillet over medium heat, stirring often, until it crackles and becomes aromatic, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a fine sieve and rinse thoroughly.
- Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring often, until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add chiles and garlic; cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Add the quinoa and broth; bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to maintain a gentle simmer, cover and cook until the quinoa is tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.
- Add pepitas, cilantro, scallions, lime juice and salt to the quinoa; mix gently and fluff with a fork.
Tips & Notes
- Notes: Quinoa, a delicately flavored grain that was a staple in the ancient Incas' diet, is available in most natural-foods stores and the natural-foods sections of many supermarkets. Toasting the grain before cooking enhances the flavor, and rinsing removes any residue of saponin, quinoa's natural, bitter protective coating.
- Hulled pumpkin seeds, also known as pepitas, are dusky green and have a delicate nutty flavor. They can be found in the health-food or bulk sections of many supermarkets.
- To toast nuts & seeds on the stovetop: Toast in a small dry skillet over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until fragrant and lightly browned, 3 to 5 minutes.

A senior Vatican spokesman has denied rumors that Pope Francis may appoint two women as cardinals at the upcoming February conclave. Theologically and theoretically, it is possible," Fr. Lombardi said. "Being a cardinal is one of those roles in the church for which, theoretically, you do not have to be ordained but to move from there to suggesting the pope will name women cardinals for the next consistory is not remotely realistic."

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - It is possible for the pope to appoint a woman as a cardinal, but it isn't going to happen, Vatican spokesman Fr. Federico Lombardi told the media.
"Theologically and theoretically, it is possible," Fr. Lombardi said. "Being a cardinal is one of those roles in the church for which, theoretically, you do not have to be ordained but to move from there to suggesting the pope will name women cardinals for the next consistory is not remotely realistic."
The media in the United States has suggested that Pope Francis may be considering two women for positions in the conclave. The Holy Father has also made mention that the role of women needs to be reassessed within the Church.
However, these comments should not be construed to imply that women would ever become ordained clergy. In fact, the Pope has no power to ordain women because it is simply not possible to confer holy orders upon them. (CCC 1577).
Still, the pope does have the authority to appoint women as cardinals. Cardinal is not a unique rank of Holy Orders. Rather, it denotes a role of service in the Church which is hypothetically open to the lay faithful, including women. The practice has been for sometime to select cardinals from among the Order of Bishops. There is no indication that a change is pending.
The issue is once again an example of an overly zealous media attempting to co-opt a popular pope for their cause, entirely ignorant of the reality that popes, unlike politicians and celebrities, do not belong to secular causes.
Still, a particular comment made by Francis has the media abuzz. According to UCANews, "In his ground-breaking August interview with Jesuit media, he said that 'the church cannot be herself without woman', adding that Mary 'is more important than the bishops.'" There is nothing new here. Through her Yes, her "Fiat" Mary cooperated in a unique role in God's saving plan for the whole world.
The article also mentioned speculation from Juan Arias, a former Vatican correspondent, that the pope could do such a thing based on the controversy concerning the use of the word "deaconness" in some early Christian writings. The word in greek means servant. there is no doubt that women played a unique role in the ministry of the early Church. Some, particularly working with women, also partipated in preparation for Baptism. However, most scholars agree that this was a different role of service than the ordination of men to the Order of Deacon.
To be clear, the idea of women as priests or Bishops will not and cannot occur. Women being appointed as cardinals is not beyond the realm of possibility. The term Cardinal is not a rank of Holy Orders. It is a special role given to those who advise the Pope and participate in the election of the Pope. They do not need to be ordained. However, the cardinals have been chosen from among the Order of Bishops for a very long time and it will not change according to the reports out of the Vatican.
None of this is a sleight to women-the Church is not misogynistic. To the contrary, the late Pope John Paul II in a 1988 apostolic letter entitled On the Dignity of Women sets forth a profoundly beautiful exposition on the unique and irreplaceable role of women and issues a call for a new and true feminism. However, God has assigned to men and women unique and profoundly important roles, having been created each specially to compliment the other and to reveal the fullness of the Image of God.
This is why Mary is always pointed to as the greatestexample of the absolutely indispensable role of women in the plan of salvation and the ongoing work of the Church. When God chose to come among us, he chose a woman. How much more needs to be said

how, isn't that all your government stands against
Ah, what a shame. I was hoping for a more active region. Alas, I fear I shall have to travel on.
I'm going on a limb here and say, I think our lack of activity is our problem. Example^^^
I don't know what to do we have around 3 active members and Sup Pwn is starting to be less active
I think it may be time to merge with another region
not again just leave us alone what do you have against us get out
guys we have a problem we obviously can not beat raids because inactive even SupPwn is inactive. if any of you will join me I will be merging us with New Coalition of Nations in a week from now. So pack up were moving to safety.
good bye TMR

This is the first Crazy Rumors lip balm I've tried yet, but definitely not the last one. It's cheap, smells amazing (and there are so many other scents!) and makes my lips so soft. I like the consistence and that it doesn't melt, it's one of the harder lip balms, but I like that. Will definitely repurchase.
Fantastic lip Balm

It's my firts CR lipbalm and I love it. It has a great formula, feels great on the lips and the vanilla scent is just right (sweet and lovely, not too much). I already ordered a new flavor.

Cyndi Lauper says Broadway is a much more pleasant place to work than the music industry.
The Girls Just Wanna Have Fun singer teamed up with playwright Harvey Fierstein and director-choreographer Jerry Mitchell to make Kinky Boots, a musical adaptation of a British film about a drag queen who comes to the rescue of a flagging show factory.
Cyndi, who wrote the music for the Tony-award nominated show, revealed: "They don't aggravate you as much.
"The record companies gave me a lot of grief for a long, long time. These people wanted me to be part of their team. I was so flattered."
Kinky Boots has the most Tony Award nominations this year, with 13, just one ahead of Matilda: The Musical, including Best Musical and Best Original Score.

A father's obesity is one factor that may influence his children's health and potentially raise their risk for diseases like cancer, according to new research from Duke Medicine.
The study, which appears Feb. 6 in the journal BMC Medicine, is the first in humans to show that paternal obesity may alter a genetic mechanism in the next generation, suggesting that a father's lifestyle factors may be transmitted to his children.
"Understanding the risks of the current Western lifestyle on future generations is important," said molecular biologist Adelheid Soubry, PhD, a postdoctoral associate at Duke Cancer Institute and the study's lead author. "The aim of this study was to determine potential associations between obesity in parents prior to conception and epigenetic profiles in offspring, particularly at certain gene regulatory regions."
Researchers looking at health outcomes in newborns have historically focused on pregnant women. Studies have shown that nutrition and environmental factors during pregnancy can affect children's health and may raise their risk of chronic diseases. However, little has been done to uncover how paternal factors can affect children.
The Duke research team sought to determine associations between obesity in parents and changes in DNA methylation at the insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF2) gene among offspring. DNA methylation regulates the activity of certain genes, which can reflect a higher risk for some diseases. Decreased DNA methylation at the IGF2 gene has been associated with an increased risk of developing certain cancers, including colorectal and ovarian cancers.
"Our genes are able to adapt to our environment. However, we adjust in a way that may be problematic later," said Cathrine Hoyo, PhD, MPH, a cancer epidemiologist at Duke Medicine and the study's senior author. "It is not a change in the sequence of the DNA itself, but how genes are expressed. Some genes may get 'shut off' as a result of environmental trauma."
To gather data on newborn health outcomes, the researchers followed families enrolled in the Newborn Epigenetics Study (NEST), a research program developed by Hoyo and funded by the National Institutes of Health to test the influence of environmental exposures on genetic profiles in newborns.
Researchers gathered information about the mothers and fathers using questionnaires and medical records. They then examined DNA from the umbilical cords of 79 newborns to determine potential associations between the offspring's DNA methylation patterns and parental obesity before conception.
DNA methylation at the IGF2 gene in the offspring of obese fathers was significantly lower than in the children of fathers who were not obese. This suggests that paternal obesity may be associated with an increased risk of children developing certain cancers.
The researchers noted that the changes in DNA methylation could have been a result of something related to obesity, such as eating a certain diet or having diabetes, that was not measured in this study.
Additional research is underway to see if these changes in DNA methylation at the IGF2 gene remain as the children grow older. Future studies may also determine if certain interventions – similar to women taking folic acid while pregnant to prevent birth defects – can be used prior to or after conception to prevent irregular methylation profiles.
"This study is an important start in looking at the effects of environmental exposure on children, not only through the mother but also through the father," said Soubry. "Although we cannot define at this point which obesity-related factor may cause an epigenetic effect, we measured in this study a significant association between paternal obesity and aberrant methylation profiles in the offspring."

Mulla looks absurd, ridiculous, but that's what the whole of humanity has been doing for centuries looking at the sky, asking permission, praying - to somebody who is not there. Prayer is not the right thing; the right thing is to meditate. And what is the difference? When you pray you have to believe in someone who is listening to your prayer. When you meditate you meditate alone. In prayer the other is required; in meditation you alone are enough.
Yoga is meditative. It has no place for prayer, because it has no place for God. It has no place for any childish notions about God.
Let this become a constant remembrance in you if you really want to be religious, you will have to pass through the state of atheism. If you really want to be authentically religious, then don't start by being a theist. Start by being an atheist. Start by being an Adam. Adam is the beginning of Christ. Adam starts the circle and Christ ends the circle. Start by saying no so that your yes can mean something. Don't be afraid and don't believe out of fear. If you have to believe someday, only believe out of knowing and love - never out of fear.
That's why Christianity could not develop a yoga, Judaism could not develop a yoga, Mohammedanism could not develop a yoga. Yoga was developed by people who were courageous enough to say no to all beliefs, to all blind faiths, who were able to deny the convenience of belief to themselves and who, were ready to inquire and go into the wildness of their own being.
It is a tremendous responsibility. To be an atheist is to be very deeply responsible because when there is no God you are left alone in a cold world. When there is no God you are left alone with nothing to hang on to, with nothing to cling to. Great courage is needed, and you have to create the warmth out of your own being. This is the whole meaning of yoga to create warmth out of your own being. The existence is cold. No hypothetical God can give you warmth. You are simply dreaming. It may be a wish fulfillment, but it is not true. And it is better to be cold but to remain with truth than to live surrounded by lies and feel warm.
Yoga says realize the truth that you are alone. You are given an existence; now you have to create meaning out of it. Meaning is not already given.
Existentialists in the West say something with which Patanjali will agree totally. Existentialists say existence precedes essence. Let me explain it to you.
A rock is there. A rock's essence is given; it is already given. Its existence is its essence also. The rock is not going to grow: it is already that which it can be. But man is different man is born - he brings his existence, but the essence is not given yet. He comes as an emptiness. Now he has to fill that emptiness by his own effort. He has to create meaning: he has to grope in the dark; he has to work it out, what life means. He has to discover; he has to be creative. Existence is given, essence has to be created - and every moment the way you live, you create your essence. If you don't create it you will not have it.
People come to me and they ask, "Please tell us what is the meaning of life." As if meaning is given somewhere. Meaning is not given you have to create it.

Posted December 08, 2012 on AP on Fox
No. 1 Indiana lost forward Austin Etherington during the first half Saturday night against Central Connecticut State. The sophomore forward appeared to hurt his left leg on a play underneath the basket with the Hoosiers leading 49-29 and 2:28 to go in the half. He stayed down on the floor as trainers appeared to cover the leg with a towel and almost immediately called for help. Etherington was then lifted onto a stretcher and was surrounded by teammates and coaches. Team officials did not have immediate details about the injury. Losing Etherington is another blow to a team that has played all season without forward Derek Elston (knee surgery) and freshmen Hanner Mosquera-Perea and Peter Jurkin, who were suspended by the NCAA for accepting improper benefits from an Indiana booster.

Hurricane Katrina is being called the most significant natural disaster in United States history.
Rescue efforts continue, as entire towns are washed off the map, and the death toll continues to rise.
In New Orleans, much of the city below sea level is now under water-- 20 feet deep in some areas --after two major breaches in the levee system. Hurricane Katrina's storm surge knocked out the main Interstate 10 bridge to the east and flooded other access routes virtually isolating the city.
"What I saw today is equivalent to what I saw flying over the tsunami in Indonesia. There are places that are no longer there," said Louisiana Senator, (D) Mary Landrieu.
All day there were rescues people trapped by rapidly rising waters. Flood waters are quickly being contaminated by waste, debris, gas, and bodies. Millions are without power or food. Looting is rampant.
"This is no time for this foolishness. People trapped, a lot of them hungry, don't have no water, and need medicine," said a person caught in the middle of looters.
They're grabbing anything that can be picked up and carried away. There's little police can do to stop them.
"We're trying to do as best we can with everything that we have," said a New Orleans police officer.
Louisiana's governor has ordered all rescue shelters to be evacuated, including the Superdome where thousands are jammed in the heat, and filthy conditions
Inmates moved from the Orleans Parish Prison staged an uprising and reportedly are holding hostages.
Biloxi looks like a war zone. The city's beachfront is demolished. Officials estimate hundreds were killed. The American Red Cross is mobilizing volunteers from across the country. The National Guard is on the way, but it will take time to get to the places and people who need them most.
The search and rescue will continue for several more days, if not longer, forcing state officials to continue to evacuate those left remaining.

Mageia Blog (English) : Let's say goodbye to Mageia 326 de Novembro de 2014 - 0sem comentários ainda
It's been a great run, but all good things must end. Or at least, upgrade to a greater thing.
Since Mageia 3 was released in May 2013 our packaging and security teams have provided hundreds of updates (actually 1136 source packages in the Core repository, that accounts for almost 9000 binary packages), all of them tested and validated by our QA team.
As we announced in our earlier blog post, Mageia 3 has now reached the end of its product life. This means that we will not be providing any more security or bugfix updates for Mageia 3.
In order to keep your systems secure and functioning properly, you should upgrade any Mageia 3 systems that you still have to Mageia 4 as soon as possible.
And just in case you need another incentive to upgrade, Mageia 5 is coming soon (the final release should be at the end of January 2015). Mageia 5 will be our best release yet, and we only support upgrading to it from Mageia 4, so upgrading now will mean you will be ready to go when Mageia 5 comes around.
So head on over to this wiki page and upgrade your system today.
Liberdade na Fronteira : Presenting a Season of KDE 2014 student – Minh Ngo21 de Novembro de 2014 - 0sem comentários ainda
Season of KDE is an outreach program hosted by the KDE community. This year I am working as a mentor to a long time requested project related with Cantor – the development of Python 3 backend. You can read more about Cantor in my blog (texts in English and Portuguese). So, let's say welcome and good luck to Minh Ngo, the student behind this project!
My name is Minh,Minh Ngo
I'm BSc graduated student. I'm Vietnamese, but unlike other Vietnamese students spent most of my life in Ukraine. Currently, I'm preparing myself to the Master degree that will start in the next semester.
Open source is my free time hobby, so I would like to make something that is useful for the community. Previously, I was participated in the GSoC 2013 program and in several open source projects. Some of my personal projects is available on my github page https://github.com/Ignotus, not so popular like other cool projects, but several are used by other people and this fact makes me very happy .
Cantor is one of opportunities to spend time to create an useful thing and win an exclusive KDE T-shirt :). I decided to start my contribution with the Python3 backend, because few months ago I studied several courses that are related with Machine Learning, so I was looking for a stable desktop backend for IPython. A notebook version IPython I do not entirely like and its qtconsole version doesn't satisfy me in terms of functionality, therefore I decided to find some existent frontend for IPython that I can tune for myself. And the story with Cantor began after than
Happy hacking!
Mageia Blog (English) : As Philae, Mageia 3 is running out of batteries…19 de Novembro de 2014 - 0sem comentários ainda
As you all know, we can't maintain Mageia releases forever. And it's time to say goodbye to Mageia 3. After Wednesday the 26th of November, this release won't benefit from any more security or bugfix updates. This will allow QA team to give more time for polishing our coming Mageia 5.
So you have only one week left to upgrade to Mageia 4 if you want to keep an up-to-date system. Do not hesitate to use our mailing-lists, forums or IRC channel to speak about it and ask for help if needed.
See www.mageia.org/support for more details.
The various ways of upgrading from Mageia 3 to Mageia 4 are described in this page.
Bruno Cornec : HP MyRoom on a 64 bits Linux17 de Novembro de 2014 - 0sem comentários ainda
Well, HP is now promoting a new solution for webinars called HP MyRoom. And even if they provide rpm (and deb) packages, these are not working out of the box on my Mageia 64 bits distro, of course. That was already the case with HP Virtual Room previsouly.
But nothing you can't make work, as long as you have the source don't you ? So here is the receipe:
First install all the required dependencies that are not correctly mentioned in the rpm:
urpmi lib64xtst6 libxtst6 lib64xscrnsaver1 libxscrnsaver1 jpeg-devel lcms-devel
Then add an additional library which was not even part of Mageia when I started this post ;-)
Get it from Cauldron where I uploaded it:
wget http://distrib-coffee.ipsl.jussieu.fr/pub/linux/Mageia/distrib/cauldron/x86_64/media/core/release/libmng1-1.0.10-1.mga5.x86_64.rpm
wget http://distrib-coffee.ipsl.jussieu.fr/pub/linux/Mageia/distrib/cauldron/i586/media/core/release/libmng1-1.0.10-1.mga5.i586.rpm
urpmi libmng1-1.0.10-1.mga5.x86_64.rpm libmng1-1.0.10-1.mga5.i586.rpm
Then finally download HP MyRoom for a 64 bits RPM system and install it with:
rpm -ivh --nodeps hpmyroom-10.0.0.0210.amd64.rpm
and launch it !
And now enjoy exchanging from Linux as well as from Lynx but without the hassle to use Windows ;-)

Mageia Blog (English) : The Long and Winding Road12 de Novembro de 2014 - 0sem comentários ainda
Well, it's been a long road, longer than we anticipated, but we're almost there! Mageia 5 Beta 1 is now validated!
What exactly does that mean? What took so long (a month and a half longer than originally planned)?
RPM 4.12 versus the Mageia buildsystem, a retrospective
The short explanation: Some stuff went wrong and other things got broken.
The long one: Back in September, we decided to update our package manager, RPM, to its latest upstream version 4.12. This was done shortly before our planned mass rebuild, a necessary step before the Beta where we rebuild all packages in the distribution to make sure that they are still compatible with the current state of our development stack. Usually, mass rebuilds show that a fair number of packages do not build anymore even if they did some months ago: the packagers' task is then to patch them so that they can build against the new stack, or in some cases to patch the development tools to fix regressions.
But this time, the new RPM version introduced changes that were significant enough to break a lot of core packages during the mass rebuild, and lots of packages failed to build in a chain reaction. It took a couple of weeks to fix and we were already long past the planned deadline for Mageia 5 Beta 1 (originally scheduled for the end of September). So we decided to postpone it to mid October.
Still, while fixing our core tools during this first mass rebuild, some important changes were made to our RPM setup. As a consequence, half of the rebuilt packages (the ones built before our RPM setup changes) were lacking some important metadata. We then decided to do a second mass rebuild in October, which went quite fine apart from some issues with the Java stack. It was already late October when the first Beta 1 ISOs could be spun and delivered to the QA team for pre-release testing.
You may know that a Linux distribution release is basically an installer together with a set of packages. The latter were now starting to behave properly, but we were then faced with some issues in the installer regarding glibc (the GNU C library) and RPM. This delayed the beta for another week or so.
Then the QA team could finally get started with a fresh set of ISOs, and found the usual numbers of critical bugs (system doesn't boot, stuff like that) that were fixed with the help of our developers. A big thanks to the QA team for their continued work on the ISOs while also testing update candidates for Mageia 3 and Mageia 4! This beta is far from perfect so don't forget to check the errata, but you should be able to install it and to see the state of current cauldron. Please report any bugs, we will try to fix as many as we can for Mageia 5 Beta 2.
Consequence on the development roadmap
According to our original schedule, the second beta should have been released on October 31st… So we had to choose between skipping Beta 2 or postponing the Mageia 5 final release and the intermediate releases. Based on the input from the Beta 1 testing, we decided that we can't afford to skip the second beta, since the current one still has some serious issues. As a consequence all planned dates for the future intermediate and finale releases have been postponed, and the new development roadmap reads as follows:
- Beta 2: December 16th, 2014
- Release Candidate: January 6th, 2015
- Internal release: January 23rd, 2015
- Final release: January 31st, 2015
Fine… Now, where is my Beta 1?
You all waited long enough for this release, so grab it with the first link, but don't forget to check the following ones:
Test, enjoy, and report any bugs! Now is the time to polish this Mageia 5!

Hemp History Week
The prohibition of industrial hemp costs the United States billions of dollars every year. You can't get high on hemp. It is a great food source and is better for making paper and fabrics than any other substance. Yet it illegal for an American farmer to grow it.
Manufacturers are allowed to import hemp, so when you look at it, the prohibition of hemp is really a big "F U" to American farmers and companies. The purchase of hemp from a foreign country is legal, as is using hemp in this country. The only thing that's really illegal is Americans making money off of it.
And yet very few politicians talk about industrial hemp. That may be because they don't hear about it often enough from their constituents. Elected officials have to know that people are tired of silly laws that stifle our economy.
The video below features a group trying to do just that. The nonprofit group Vote Hemp is trying to raise awareness on this issue and they say progress is being made on the state and federal level. The time for this ridiculous prohibition on an absolutely harmless product is brought to an end.

I'm a ubuntu user and kubuntu and launchpad. I test ktechlab program. But i have some questions.
I have the source code and a french .po files.
i can involve in the translation of this file.
But i don't know the best practice for upload?
I search the good commit.
i use also ksimus. Do you have some links with this program.
Thanks for your help.
Zoltan P
if i understand correctly, you'd like to contribute to the french translation of ktechlab. I'd recommend to join the ktechlab-devel mailing list ( see the archive on sourceforge: https://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_name=ktechlab-devel ) and announce there the translation. For now, there is no automatic way of submitting translations, but the developers will be happy to add it to the project.
Note that the last released version is 0.3.7, and probably won't be any more releases of 0.3 series, but the new version will be 0.4, which is still in early development and for that one practically there is nothing to translate.
About ksimus: do you refer to this program: http://ksimus.berlios.de/ ?
This is the first time i hear about it…
Thanks for your replies

Application June 23, 1939, Serial No. 280,741
3 Claims. 301-13) The present invention relates to new and useful improvements in dual wheel assemblies and more particularly to such novel improvements in connection with the mounting of the inner and outer tire rims on the dual wheels.
Objects and advantages of the invention will be set forth in part hereinafter and in part will be obvious herefrom, or may be learned by practice with the invention, the same being realized and attained by means of the instrumentalities and combinations pointed out in the appended claims.
The invention consists in the novel parts, constructions, arrangements, combinations and improvements herein shown and described.
The accompanying drawings, referred to herein and constituting a part hereof, illustrate modifications of the invention, and together with the description, serve to explain the principles 02 the invention.
Of the drawings:
Fig. 1 is a side elevation partly in section of a dual wheel and tire rim showing the means for clamping the rims on the wheels;
Fig. 2 is a section, partly broken away, taken on the line 2-2 of Figure 1;
-Fig. 3 is a fragmentary section taken along the line 3-3 of Figure 1;
Fig. 4 is a fragmentary section corresponding to the upper portion of Figure 1 showing a modifled form of rim clamping means;
Fig. 5 is a section similar to Figure 4 but showing another modification of clamping means;
Fig. 5A is a face view of a spring retaining member;
Fig. 6 is a section showing a further modification for clamping the rims to the wheels;
Fig. 7 is a section taken alon the line 11 of Figure 6;
Fig. 8 is a fragmentary face view partly broken away showing clamping and adapting means for securing various sized rims to the dual wheels;
Fig. 9 is a section taken on the line 9-9 of Figure 8;
Fig. 10 is a section taken on the line Ill-l0 of Figure 8.
The present invention has for its object the provision of a novel and improved demountable -rim, dua1 wheel structure providing maximum ease in the removal and remounting of both the inner and outer tire rims, as well as a relatively small number of simple parts. The invention has for a further object the provision of a demountable rim dual wheel assembly in which the inner and outer wheels may be remounted securely and in proper alinement with certainty. The invention also provides a dual wheel structure which can accommodate standard demountable rims without requiring the use of split or other forms of retaining rings, and at the same time permitting the removal of the inner ring without disassembly of the wheel structure. The invention further provides a novel means of mounting different sizes of tires and rims on a single size of wheel.
In certain respects, the present invention is an improvement on a modification of the structure shown and described in my previous and copending application Ser. No. 265,880, filed April 4, 1939, for Rim mounting for dual wheels, but in other respects the present invention is of more general application.
In the mounting of demountable rims on dual wheels, it has been proposed, as in the patent to Higbee No. 1,975,273, to provide a separate retaining ring which is split and cooperates with the rim and is of smaller diameter than the rim, to hold the inner rim in place on the attaching lugs of the inner wheel. This structure is somewhat disadvantageous and more costly as it requires the use of a separate ring which must be removed from the inner rim, expanded and then removed over the attaching lugs on the outer wheel, and when in place, this rim serves to firmly seat the inner rim on the lugs which are spaced slightly inwardly of the inner rim. In this way, it is possible to use an inner rim of sufficiently larger diameter so that it may be passed over a similar lug construction on the outer wheel. However, this type of construction requires the use of non-standard rims together with a split or expansible ring which is removable with difficulty under certain conditions.
In accordance with the present invention, a standard form of rim is employed for both the inner and outer tires and the inner rim is secured to the peripheral portion of the inner wheel by substantially conventional rim securing and locating lugs, while the outer rim, of similar and preferably duplicate construction, is secured to and located on the peripheral portion of the outer wheel by lugs which are completely removable, the removal of the lugs from the outer wheel reducing the overall diameter of the outer wheel sufiiciently so that the inner rim may be removed from the inner wheel and over the outer wheel by simple axial movement of the rim.
According to a modification of the present invention, the foregoing objects and benefits are achieved, and means are provided which also permit different sizes of rims to be used on the same Wheel, so that tires and rims of a larger or smaller diameter may be substituted one for the other.
It will be understood that the foregoing general description, and the following detailed description as well, are exemplary and explanatory of the invention but are not restrictive thereof.
Referring in detail to the drawings and more particularly to the embodiments shown in Figures 1 to 3, an inner and outer wheel Ill and I2 of a dual wheel unit are shown as being mounted for independent rotation upon an axle I4 which may be provided in the usual manner with ball or roller bearings (not shown). A brake drum I6 may be provided in operative relation with either one or both of the wheels I and I2 and is illustratively shown as mounted adjacent the inner side (left in Figure 1) of the inner 'wheel I0 whereby it may be conveniently operated by conventional braking mechanism (not shown).
The pneumatic tires, which are omitted from the drawings, are mounted on the wheels I6 and I2 by the usual tire rim I8 having upon one side of its cylindrical portion a flared flange 28 which acts as an abutment for one wall of the tire. The other side of the rim I8 is tapered inwardly, as indicated at 22, to provide means for locking the tire on the rim and for mounting the rim upon A cotter pin 62 retains each support lug 56 in place on the bolt 54. A clamp lug 64, also carried on each bolt 54, is provided and as embodied has a head portion 66 whose inclined surface wedges the rim I8 against the support lug 56 when the clamp nut 68 is tightened. The base III on the clamp lug 64 bears on the foot 68 of support lug 56.
The construction as illustrated and described thus provides a dual wheel unit upon which tires and rims of substantially identical size and shape may be separately and independently mounted, and having a minimum of removable members. The unit also allows the inner tire and rim to be secured on or be demounted from the inner wheel by passing it over the outer wheel. When it is desired to mount tires and rims on the dual wheel the operator first removes the clamp nuts 68, clamp lugs 64, cotter pins 62 and support lugs 56 from the outer wheel I2, and clamp nuts 42 and clamp lugs 46 from the inner wheel ID. A rim I8, with a tire mounted thereon, is then passed over the outer wheel I2 in such a manner as to bring the conical surface 38 upon the seats 36 formed on the inner wheel I6. Clamp lugs 46 and nuts 42 are then replaced on bolts 38 and the nuts screwed up tight to secure the rim and tire in place. The operator than replaces the support lugs 56 upon bolts 54, where they may the wheel. As embodied, the outer surface of be held by replacing cotter pins 62, and then the tapered portion 22 is formed as a groove 24 into which may be sprung the split locking ring 26. A removable tire retaining flange 28 corresponding in shape to the flared flange 20 serves, in conjunction with looking ring 26, to removably secure the tire upon the rim I8, and the inner tapered or conical surface 38 of the tapered portion 22 serves as the supporting and clamping means whereby the rim I6 is removably secured to the wheels.
The inner wheel I6 of the dual wheel unit is provided with a series of spoke-like radial projections 32 upon Which the rim I8 and its tire is supported and clamped. As constructed the projections 32 are channel-shape in cross section and provided with a head portion having an inclined surface 36 which forms the-seat for the conical surface 30 of the rim I8. Removable clamping means for securely holding the rim I8 on the spoke projections 32 are provided and as embodied comprise bolts 38 having formed thereon, beneath the head, a squared shank 46, and a threaded end upon which a clamp nut 42 is carried. The bolts 38 are secured in the spoke projections 32 by cotter pins 44 and held against rotation therein by the square shank 40. Clamp lugs 46, having a fulcrum toe 48 and clamp head 50, serve to force the conical surface 36 of the rim upon the seat 36 of the wheel I6 when the clamp nuts 42 are tightened.
The outer wheel I2 is also provided with a series of spoke-like projections 52 but differing from those of the wheel I8 in that their outermost diameter is such as to allow the rim I8, which is intended for mounting on the inner wheel, to be passed over them. Bolts 54 having a I squared shank portion are carried in square holes in the spoke projections 52. I
Means for supporting and clamping a rim I8 and its tire on the'spoke projections 52 of the outer wheel are provided and as embodied comprise support lugs 56 mounted on the bolts 54 and having an offset head 58 to form a seat for the rim and a foot 60 which bears upon the wheel l2 adjacent the base of the spoke projections 52.
places the second tire and rim I8 in place on the support lugs in clamping position whereupon the clamp lugs 64 and nuts 68 are replaced and tightened to thus secure the tire and rim I8 upon the outer wheel I2.
In Figure 4 there is shown a modified form of the invention in which the spoke projections on the Wheel serve both as the supporting and as wedging means for the tire rim. As embodied, the spoke projections 80 are enlarged to form 'bosses having a peripheral inclined surface 82.
Clamp lugs 84 are provided with a corresponding incline on the underside of their heads 86 and a reversed incline on their outer or top surfaces for contacting and wedging the conical surface 38 of the tire rim I8. Abutment lugs 88 are pro? vided to properly position the rim I8 and serve as the fixed member against which the wedging action takes place. Abutment lugs 88 are rotatably mounted on the inner face of the spoke projections by means of the bolts 92 which are carried therein. A cotter pin 94 retains each abutment lug and bolt in assembled position.
When it is desired to remove the inner tire and rim from the dual wheel the outer tire is demounted by removing the clamp lugs 84 and then rotating the abutment lugs 88 about the bolts 92 until the offset head on each lug 88 is no longer in the path of the rim to be removed from the inner wheel.
Figure 5 shows another modification of the outer wheel construction wherein the support lugs for the tire rim are supported upon the periphery of the spoke projections, thereby differing from the form shown in Figure 1 which transmits the load to the wheel at the base of the spoke projections. As embodied, each support lug I60 is provided with ahead portion I82 whose undersurface is inclined to coact with a corresponding peripheral surface on the spoke projections I64. The support lug is mounted upon the bolt 53 and held in place thereon by a removable spring ring 55, and the method of removing the inner tire rim over the outer wheel is generally the same as that described in connection with the construction shown in Figure 1, with the exception that the spring ring 55, instead of the cotter pin 62, is removed to free the support lug.
In Figures 6 and 7 there is shown still another form of outer wheel construction wherein the member which serves to position the tire rim and provide the fixed point against which it is wedged is removably interlocked in the spake projection and is independent of the clamp bolt. As embodied, the spoke projections I06 are boxshaped, having a peripheral top wall I08, an outer side IIO, two lateral sides H2 and an open inner side II4. Each of the spoke projections I06 are provided with a clamp bolt H6 having a squared shank portion and held in place by a cotter pin IIB. A clamp lug I20 and nut I22 are carried by each of the bolts H6. The head I24 of the clamp lugs I20 is provided with two inclined surfaces, one for cooperating with a similar surface on the top wall I08 of the spoke projection and the other for cooperating with the conical surface 30 on the tire rim I8.
Stop lugs I26 are provided for positioning the tire rim I8 and resisting the wedging action of the clamp lugs I20, and as embodied, are constructed with a T-shaped bottom portion I28 and an offset top portion having a tooth I30 which, when the lug is in its operativeposition, hooks over one edge of an enlarged opening I32 in the top wall I08 of the spoke projection. The cars of the T-shaped bottom portion I28 of the lug I26 lie against the edges of the lateral walls II2 of the spoke projections and maintain the lug I26 in its operative position for acting as a stop for the tire rim I8.
When it is desired to remove the tire from the inner wheel, the outer tire is demounted by removing the clamp lugs I20 and then manually disengaging the tooth I30 from the edge of the enlarged opening I32 when the stop lug I26 will drop into the box shaped spoke projection, as shown in broken lines in Figure 6, and thereby be out of the path of the inner tire which it is desired to remove from the dual wheel.
In Figures 8, 9 and 10, there is shown a modified embodiment wherein the spoke projections on the inner and outer wheels are substantially identical in form and the means whereby the inner tire rim may be passed over the outer wheel in mounting and demounting consists of adapter rings removably bolted to the spoke projections of each wheel and carrying means for clamping the tire rims thereon. As embodied, the inner wheel I is provided with spoke projections I40 having a head portion I42 with an inclined surface. Clamp bolts I44 having a squared shank portion are carried by the spoke projections and, with their nuts I 46 serve as the means whereby an adapter ring I48 is secured to the wheel I0. The adapter ring I48 is substantially circular in form and carries a series of inwardly projecting portions I50 having holes therein, through which the bolts I44 extend, and a support shelf I52 having on its underside an inclined surface for cooperating with a similar surface on the head I42 of the spoke projections I40. Interspaced between the portions I50 are rim supporting portions I54 the head I56 of which is provided with an inclined surface which acts as a seat for the conical surface 30 of the tire rim.
Clamp lugs I55 and bolts I51 are carried by the support portions I54 and serve to securely lock the tire rim I8 on the adapter ring.
The outer wheel I2 is provided with spoke projections I58, clamp bolts I60, nuts I62 and an adapter ring I64 which are, in construction and function, similar to those described in connection with inner wheel I0 with the exception that the rim support portion I66 is modified to form a seat I68 for the edge of the tire rim I8 against which the latter is wedged by clamp lugs I61.
In this embodiment, when it is desired to remove the inner tire from the wheel I0, the outer tire and. rim is removed from its path by removing the outer adapter ring I64 with its tire and rim intact thereon from the outer wheel I2, after which, by removing the clamp lugs I55 on the inner adapter ring I48, the inner tire and rim I8 may be passed over the outer wheel I2.
In the embodiment illustrated in Figures 8, 9 and 10 the adapter rings I48 and I64 have a further advantage in that, by constructing them with a greater or lesser outside diameter, tire rims of various sizes may be adapted foruse on the same dual wheel unit.
The invention in its broader aspects is not limited to the specific mechanisms shown and described but departures may be made therefrom within the scope of the accompanying claims without departing from the principles of the invention and without sacrificing its chief advantages.
What I claim is:
1. A demountable rim wheel including a wheel member having a generally circular periphery, spaced-apart slots in the periphery of the wheel and wall members inwardly of the slots, inner lugs insertable through said slots to extend radially outwardly therethrough for engagement with the inner side of the rim, each of said lugs having a fulcrum portion to engage the Wall member, and a tooth to engage the wheel at the slot to prevent accidental disengagement of the lug, and outer lugs secured to the wheel by threaded means and moved thereby to clamp the rim between the inner and outer lugs.
2. A demountable rim wheel including a Wheel member having a generally circular periphery, spaced-apart slots in the periphery of the wheel and wall members inwardly of the slots, inner lugs insertable through said slots to extend radially outwardly therethrough for engagement with the inner side of the rim, each of said lugs having a fulcrum portion to engage the wall member, and outer lugs secured to the wheel by threaded means and moved thereby to clamp the rim between the inner and outer lugs.
3. A demountable rim wheel including an inner lug and an outer lug having inwardly inclined converging faces on their peripheral surfaces to engage the inner portion of the rim, screw means on the wheel forcing the outer lug inwardly of the wheel, said wheel being slotted inwardly of the wheel and adjacent the lug, said inner lug being provided with an inwardly extending portion to pass through the slot and to be fulcrumed on a portion of the wheel.
