Futuristic design for new Antarctic base
Article Summary
A futuristic design by Faber Maunsell and Hugh Broughton Architects has won the competition for the new British Antarctic Survey (BAS) Halley Research Station. The new station will have a series of mechanical legs on skis that enable it to stay above the surface of the ice and be relocated inland to minimize the risk of loss due to calving events. Designed to withstand extreme winds and freezing winter temperatures down to minus 56 degrees Celsius, the new design will provide a safe, stimulating place for scientists to live and work, in a building designed to minimize its impact on Antarctica's pristine environment.

Martin Priestman, Romantic Atheism: Poetry and Freethought, 1780–1830 Submitted by Jeffrey N. Cox on Mon, 09/30/2002 - 15:58 Martin Priestman, Romantic Atheism: Poetry and Freethought, 1780-1830. Cambridge Studies in Romanticism, no. 37. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1999. xiii + 305pp. Illus.: 7 halftones. $59.95 (Hdbk; ISBN: 0-521-62124-0). Reviewed by Mark S. Lussier Arizona State University Given the pronounced tendency in Romantic Studies to ground critical efforts historically and to re-examine past assumptions from that historical prospect, a book exploring the full range of "these [Romantic ] poets" in their "infidel phase" (6) was somewhat inevitable. And while Martin Priestman's Romantic Atheism: Poetry and Freethought, 1780-1830 traverses much familiar territory, the book steadfastly realizes its aim "to show how the possibility of being an atheist impacted on a wide range of poets and other writers" (257). Thus, while one can certainly agree with Priestman's initial self-assessment that "the core idea of this book is simple" (1), such modest, self-effacing critical humility, although rare and welcome in any scholarly investigation, hardly does justice to the motives for and results of this detailed re-assessment of one of the "givens" within Romantic thought. Taking the last first, this book strives in every possible way to provide its readers aids for reflection, including the quite useful "Glossary of Theological and Other Terms" (whose entries ranges from "alchemy" to "Zoroastrianism" [258-62]) with which it concludes. Such glossing is necessary to do justice to the spectrum of thinking and writing Priestman engages, and this range is evoked near the conclusion to the work's "Introduction," where the author carefully defines the terms of his engagement. Upon completing this satisfying assessment and re-examination, Priestman amply proves the case that the issues analyzed "touched everybody" (10). Tags: Martin PriestmanMark S.

James C. McKusick, Green Writing: Romanticism and Ecology Submitted by Jeffrey N. Cox on Mon, 09/30/2002 - 14:58 James C. McKusick, Green Writing: Romanticism and Ecology. New York: Palgrave/St. Martin's Press, 2000. x + 261pp. $49.95 (Hdbk; ISBN: 0-312-23448-1). Reviewed by Kevin Hutchings University of Northern British Columbia James C. McKusick is one of the pioneers of Green Romanticism, an emerging critical movement investigating Romantic literature in relation to the histories of ecological thought and environmental activism. His most recent book, entitled Green Writing: Romanticism and Ecology, is among the important contributions McKusick has made to literary scholarship as an author of ecocritical articles, a guest editor of special periodical issues on Romanticism and Ecology, and co-editor of a significant new anthology of nature writing. What sets McKusick's work apart from that of Jonathan Bate and Karl Kroeber, the earliest and most widely cited advocates of English Green Romanticism, is its avoidance of an overtly polemical basis for the establishment of ecological literary criticism. This difference in critical approach is a crucial one, for Bate's and Kroeber's heated dismissals of New Historicist and poststructuralist critical perspectives have arguably done as much to impede the cause of Romantic ecocriticism as to encourage its advancement. By rejecting the ground-breaking insights of Alan Liu, Jerome McGann, Marjorie Levinson, Marilyn Butler, and other socially minded Romantic scholars, Bate and Kroeber have not only helped to consolidate the view that contemporary literary theory and ecocriticism are dichotomously opposed and irreconcilable; whether deservedly or not, they have helped to perpetuate the stereotype that environmental studies scholars are reactionary anti-intellectuals whose work is idealistically naive and dangerously misanthropic (because somehow disengaged from fundamental issues of social justice). In an era wherein the editorial board of a mainstream journal no less important than PMLA has by its own admission unfairly characterized environmental criticism as critically "soft" "hug-the-tree stuff," Green Romanticism needs more advocates like McKusick, whose arguments are persuasive without being needlessly polemical, succeeding not by virtue of a negatively reasoned attack upon the established views of others, but on the solid constructive basis of their own intellectual rigor and critical merit.

Laura Mandell, Misogynous Economies: The Business of Literature in Eighteenth-Century Britain Submitted by Jeffrey N. Cox on Mon, 09/30/2002 - 13:58 Laura Mandell, Misogynous Economies: The Business of Literature in Eighteenth-Century Britain. Lexington: University Press of Kentucky, 1999. x + 228pp. Illus.: 4 halftones. $42.00 (Hdbk; ISBN: 0-8131-2116-7). Reviewed by Miranda J. Burgess University of British Columbia The first word in the title of this book is tonally at odds with the second, and with the argument of the book as a whole. "Misogyny" sounds like a topic for an older or more naïve feminism than Mandell's fresh and sophisticated version, and its transhistorical ring belies the specificity Mandell brings to her cultural study of eighteenth-century economic history. But these impressions are misleading, as Mandell makes clear in framing her book. She begins by arguing that "[m]isogyny in representations is not about women but rather about society" (1). She ends with the assertion that the "[d]isgust allegedly aroused by women's bodies comes in fact from the stench of social inequity" (158). Moreover, she insists that "misogyny is not necessary" either to literature or to culture (158). Criticism that is to be effective in the twenty-first century must be "willing to see gender as a figure, not a thing" (157). Yet according to Mandell's analysis, the figure of gender and an accompanying misogyny are everywhere in eighteenth-century writing, from the individual poems, plays and economic texts discussed in the first four chapters to the anthologies and critical writings that processed such works later in the century, addressed in chapters five and six. The key to the simultaneous ubiquity and unnecessariness of this seemingly essential discourse is the way in which eighteenth-century poets and Romantic anthologists and critics used misogynist rhetorics and practices to manage the pleasures of their readers. It is eighteenth-century readers and their pleasures, and the social anxiety these pleasures produce in contemporaries, that are the major topic of Mandell's book. Tags: Laura MandellMiranda J.

Richard Gravil, Romantic Dialogues: Anglo-American Continuities, 1776–1862 Submitted by Jeffrey N. Cox on Mon, 09/30/2002 - 12:58 Richard Gravil, Romantic Dialogues: Anglo-American Continuities, 1776-1862. New York: Palgrave/St. Martin's Press, 2000. xx + 250pp. $55.00 (Hdbk; ISBN: 0-312-22716-7). Reviewed by Kenneth M. Price University of Nebraska-Lincoln Richard Gravil studies English and American literature from the Revolutionary War until about the midpoint of the American Civil War. Gravil's thorough-going knowledge of connections between British and American texts enables him to create illuminating juxtapositions and to make provocative assertions. This book displays the strengths and weaknesses of its biases. More interested in Romantic writers than Victorians, Gravil offers an unreconstructed view of the Romantics in his emphasis on a select few writers--Blake, Wordsworth, Coleridge, Shelley, Keats--and he has little patience with those who would look beyond these figures. His study of literary influences is paradoxically broad and narrow at once. Expansive in its discussion of many writers on both sides of the Atlantic, Romantic Dialogues is also constricted in its lack of theoretical interests and its scant concern with history and politics. Gravil dismisses canonical revision and other current critical trends; for example, he belittles recent "definitions of context that take literary currencies to be of less account than those of merchant banking" (xii). He offers an insight into his overall view of literature when he describes a poem by Emily Dickinson as a "babel of 'quotation'" (199). For Gravil, literature grows out of literature: everyone quotes, echoes, alludes to, or rewrites someone else. Tags: Richard GravilKenneth M.

Michael Gamer, Romanticism and the Gothic: Genre, Reception, and Canon Formation Submitted by Jeffrey N. Cox on Mon, 09/30/2002 - 11:58 Michael Gamer, Romanticism and the Gothic: Genre, Reception, and Canon Formation. Cambridge Studies in Romanticism, no. 40. Cambridge University Press, 2000. xii + 255pp. £37.50/$48.00 (Hdbk; ISBN: 0-521-77328-8). Reviewed by Anne Williams University of Georgia Ever since professional criticism of the Gothic emerged in the early decades of the twentieth century, this literature's relationship to high Romanticism has been a vexed question. Although early critics such as Eino Railo (The Haunted Castle, 1927) took it for granted that since Gothic motifs and archetypes appeared in "Romantic" poets such as Coleridge and Keats, the two modes were fundamentally akin. It was the newly professional critics of the equally emergent "Romanticism," however, who established, usually by simply ignoring their favored poets' use of Gothic conventions, that Coleridge's "Ancient Mariner" had nothing in common with Lewis's Wandering Jew, for instance, or that Keats's Gothic edifice in "The Eve of St. Agnes" was no Udolpho (though Keats himself had commented on the "fine Mother Radcliff [sic]" names he had chosen for his characters). And as feminist critics have more recently demonstrated, another latent motive for marginalizing Gothic works lay in their associations with women both as writers and as readers. Michael Gamer's fine study directly confronts this critical amnesia or repression. In exploring the historical roots of the literary phenomenon we now call "Gothic," he exposes not only the ways in which this concept emerged around the turn of the nineteenth century in Britain, but he also argues provocatively that "the reception of gothic writing . . . played a fundamental role in shaping many of the ideological assumptions about high culture that we have come to associate with 'romanticism'" (2), and that the "Gothic's reception tells us much about how readers . . . organized and attempted to make sense of gothic as a 'new' kind of writing" (3).

Kenneth Daley, The Rescue of Romanticism: Walter Pater and John Ruskin Submitted by Jeffrey N. Cox on Mon, 09/30/2002 - 10:58 Kenneth Daley, The Rescue of Romanticism: Walter Pater and John Ruskin. Athens: Ohio University Press, 2001. ix + 169pp. Illus. $36.95 (Hdbk; ISBN: 0-8214-1382-1). Reviewed by Ernest Fontana Xavier University Given their obvious affinity of interests and sensibility and their importance in the Bloomian canon as strong critics, one would have expected more studies than currently exist of the interrelationship of Ruskin and Pater. One looks in vain for a study of them that is comparable to Delaura's study of Newman's influence on Arnold and Pater. Daley's study of Pater's possible revision of Ruskin's critique of an emerging concept of Romanticism attempts to fulfill this need. In his book, Daley focuses on what he feels are important topics shared by both writers: Wordsworth, the Italian Renaissance, and Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci. The last chapter deals with the possible relation between Ruskin's Slade lectures, given at Oxford in the 1870's, and Pater's contemporary critical project.

Brad Sullivan, Wordsworth and the Composition of Knowledge: Refiguring Relationships Among Minds, Worlds, and Words Submitted by Jeffrey N. Cox on Mon, 04/01/2002 - 16:58 Brad Sullivan, Wordsworth and the Composition of Knowledge: Refiguring Relationships Among Minds, Worlds, and Words. Studies in Nineteenth-Century British Literature, no. 15. New York: Peter Lang, 2000. xii + 202pp. $50.95 (Hdbk; ISBN: 0-8204-4857-5). Reviewed by Spencer Hall Rhode Island College Brad Sullivan describes Wordsworth and the Composition of Knowledge as "an experiment in critical discourse--an attempt both to discuss and embody an alternative model of knowing" (169). The word "experiment" recalls Wordsworth's own description of Lyrical Ballads, and like the poet's, Sullivan's ambitious and passionate "experiment" may well engender strong responses. The text is meant to propound and to reflect in its very composition a "rigorous" way of thinking marked by recursive, self-reflexive, and synthetic approaches to knowledge, as opposed to a "systematic" way of thinking marked by linear, logical, and "philosophical" reasoning (103). The stated aim of this aggressively interdisciplinary work is "to provide a starting point for more fruitful discussions of [Wordsworth's] literary theory, his philosophy, his educational ideas, his social and moral purposes, and his poetic and rhetorical strategies for reaching an audience" (12). Students of Wordsworth and British Romanticism will find much to interest them in Sullivan's book. They will also find much to question, beginning with its wildly inflated claim to be a "starting point" for Wordsworth studies.

Mark Storey, The Problem of Poetry in the Romantic Period Submitted by Jeffrey N. Cox on Mon, 04/01/2002 - 13:58 Mark Storey, The Problem of Poetry in the Romantic Period. New York: St. Martin's Press/Palgrave, 2000. xi + 197pp. $59.95 (Hdbk; ISBN: 0-312-23044-3). Reviewed by J. Morgan University of Kentucky In the preface to The Problem of Poetry in the Romantic Period, Mark Storey positions his work within a school of Romantic criticism that takes the self-conscious role of questioning or doubt on the part of the Romantic poet to be the central factor in the development of Romantic poetry. However, whereas earlier studies, such as Charles Rzepkas's Self as Mind and Andrea Henderson's Romantic Identities: Varieties of Subjectivity, treat the development of this self-conscious attitude in relationship to a more "psychological and phenomenological point of view," Storey prefers to concentrate, as he says, "much more centrally on the nature of the poet, on how each poet struggles with a definition of poetry that involves a definition of the self as poet, and on how this struggle manifests itself in the poetry" (ix). In essence, Storey takes the position that we will be able to better grasp the how Romantic writers struggled with the concept of poetic identity if we avoid reading their poetry in light of more "abstruse" models of subjectivity (viii). I should note though that Storey seems to takes this position not so much from a desire to shout his defiance at "theory" than from a quiet belief in the interpretability of poetry, the lives of poets, and the intersections between the two. As such, Storey's book is not wholly a polemic, but more a practical demonstration of what one can do with texts without a structured theoretical framework. Tags: J.

Mary Shelley's Fictions: From Frankenstein to Falkner. Edited by Michael Eberle-Sinatra Submitted by Jeffrey N. Cox on Mon, 04/01/2002 - 12:58 Mary Shelley's Fictions: From Frankenstein to Falkner. Edited by Michael Eberle-Sinatra. New York: St. Martin's Press/Palgrave, 2000. xxvi + 250pp. $65.00 (Hdbk; ISBN: 0-333-77106-0). Reviewed by Lisa Vargo University of Saskatchewan The very idea for this volume provides evidence for a significant reappraisal of Mary Shelley's career as a writer, a process that began in the late 1970s, when Frankenstein became an object of critical attention and a popular classroom text. Further recuperation of Shelley's critical reputation has been aided by the appearance of editions of Mary Shelley's letters (1980-1988) and journals (1987), by critical studies by Anne K. Mellor (1988) and Jane Blumberg (1992), and by the suitably titled The Other Mary Shelley (1992). More recently access to fiction by Shelley was made possible by the appearance in 1996 of The Novels and Selected Works of Mary Shelley from Pickering & Chatto and by single volumes from Broadview Press and from other publishers. Mary Shelley's Fictions joins two other volumes of essays, Iconoclastic Departures (1997) and Mary Shelley in Her Times (2000), in communicating "the vitality and richness of current Shelleyan criticism" (ix). The majority of the contributions that make up this volume took their first form in papers delivered at a series of conferences on Mary Shelley in Britain, Canada, and the United States during, as Nora Crook puts it, "the double bicentenary of Mary Shelley's birth and Mary Wollstonecraft's death" (xix). In tracing the development of Mary Shelley studies, Nora Crook suggests in her introduction to the volume that "[w]e are now in a phrase of transition towards--let us say--'The Inclusive Mary Shelley,'" and it is her hope that this collection is "partly its product" and "partly its producer" (xx). The fourteen essays, which are arranged into four sections, go a long way towards achieving inclusiveness in their considerations of Frankenstein, The Last Man, Mathilda, Valperga, selections from her short fiction, The Fortunes of Perkin Warbeck, Lodore, Falkner, and the fragmentary "Life of William Godwin."

William D. Brewer, The Mental Anatomies of William Godwin and Mary Shelley Submitted by Jeffrey N. Cox on Mon, 04/01/2002 - 10:58 William D. Brewer, The Mental Anatomies of William Godwin and Mary Shelley. Madison, NJ: Fairleigh-Dickinson University Press, 2001. 246pp. $39.50 (Hdbk; ISBN: 0-8386-3870-8). Reviewed by Judith Barbour University of Sydney There is no denying the dramatic interest and thematic pertinence to the fictional writings of William Godwin and Mary Shelley of the metaphor of the "mental anatomy" (Introduction 1517 and passim), which gives the title to William D. Brewer's critical monograph, and contours its extended comparison of this father-and-daughter pair of authors. An anatomy in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries (in the old form of the word "an atomie") is a violent delapidation of an organic unity. In the primitive conditions of hospitals and morgues contemporary with the Godwin-Shelley writers, only cadavers could be anatomized and made intelligible, dissected and made visible, the veins, nerves, and musculature traced, flayed, and probed. The metonym of the eyeits "terrible aspect"is hegemonic in Enlightenment cultural politics. In one pathetic instance, the dead foetus, or as it was officially called the abortion, could by now be anatomized in situ in the dead gravid uterus, as the "naturalistic" optics and perspective machines of graphic artists gave the burgeoning male profession of scientific obstetrics its first breakthrough. Incidentally, "abortion" was one of the key words inserted by Percy Bysshe Shelley into the manuscript-in-the making of his pregnant lover's and soon-to-be-wife's Frankenstein (1818).

New York, New York, a Helluva Town, the Angels Were Up, Then the Angels Were Down
Friday, the Angels reached stop number two on the Four Corners Road Trip and returned to Interleague play with a bang. Joel Pinero notched his 100th career win as the Angels bested the Mets in a tight four to three victory. Both teams played well and the outcome was a question mark right up to the last pitch. The Angels bats were out in full force and clutch with men in scoring position. Torii Hunter, Maicer Izturis and Howie Kendrick all had a multiple hit game. Mark Trumbo, Peter Bourjos and Vernon Wells also contributed to the hit parade. Most importantly, every time the Mets scored, the Angels were able to score in response. That hasn't exactly been a given this season, a big part of the reason we're still below .500.
The defense was pretty good as well. Another highlight reel Bourjos catch up against the wall in center. A couple of great plays at first. We have got to work on keeping the other guys from stealing though, even though players like Jose Reyes are smart, fast and dangerous on the base paths. Fortunately, Pinero had a good start and kept the sinker ball down and the Bullpen did their thing with only minimal hiccoughs. Jordan Walden had us all on pins and needles when he walked the first two batters, but then he let the ice water back into his veins and struck out the next three in a row to earn the 16th save of his rookie season.
So what happened Saturday? Well, let's just say there are a lot of very satisfied goats walking around the Bronx right now. (Note to self, "if my husband laughs" is probably not the best barometer there is for appropriate. ;) ) Without the benefit of the DH option, in order to get Bobby Abreu back into the lineup (good idea), we put our weakest outfield configuration on the field (bad idea). Abreu, Wells and Hunter all alone in that giant Citi Field outfield without Bourjos' speed? Very bad idea.
Then, Russell Branyan replaced Mark Trumbo at first in the starting lineup for reasons unbeknownst to me – can't we declare Branyan a cheap, failed experiment already? – and Erick Aybar proceeded to have one of those, fortunately rare, games when you wonder where his head is at and what joker oiled his glove with Vaseline. The official record shows only one error, but I watched every play and the Mets scorekeepers were extremely generous in this regard. Dan Haren had a bad night and the umpire's strike zone was doing him no favors. And with few exceptions, the team could not hit – Mark Trumbo, a late innings replacement going two for two with one deep homerun to right center, was our only highlight.
"Which is more important, a strong offense or a strong defense?" is one of those questions whose answer varies with every team and every season. For the Angels this season, the offense doesn't seem to be in a position to weigh in on that argument no matter what tweaks Scioscia might make to the lineup. In this situation, every single run is a big deal. Ours and theirs. If we aren't going to give the pitchers run support then we absolutely have to put the best possible defense out on the field every day. No more Branyan at first and leaving speed out of the outfield…oh, and when Aybar is having one of those games? Pull him. So, on to the rubber match, where I hope to see a lineup that reflects our best defense, and then on to Miami:

Happy Father's Day to all of the wonderful dads out there, and especially to mine!
Daddy, softball coach, friend, confidant, giver of hugs, encourager of dreams and occasional shoulder to cry on, like most fathers, mine has worn many, many hats, and all of them much better than he will ever know. My father gave me my head for trivia, my irreverent sense of humor, my stubborn streak, my love of music, John Steinbeck and Mark Twain, my blue eyes and freckles and so much more. He taught me the value of working hard, the power of a good laugh and if the ball falls into your glove, never look surprised. And my love for the game? Well, as with so many things that are wonderful, I owe that to both my father and my mother. Thank you does not even begin to cover it, but it will have to do.

I watched last night's game, and boy, did Aybar look helpless. But these are the Mutts, who are the butt of everyone's jokes around here…whenever they win, I chalk it up to a mixup by the baseball gods :)
C – Yeah, it makes no sense. Some games he's amazing, other games it's amazing to think he made it to the majors playing like that. Fortunately, the latter happens only a handful of times a seaon. And, hey, the best defense was on the field today and we won despite the badly chosen reliever.

I had to do a double take at the Haren game. I was like, there's now way Haren's getting lit up like that! (Wrong)…. "if the ball falls into your glove, never look surprised"… That is an awesome quote! I don't have kids, but I may use this on my MLB-bound nephews someday ;-)
Jeff – It was ugly. The Mets base runners took that pause in Haren's delivery and ran with it, again and again and again. Oh well, I expect he will come back and wale on the Dodgers to make things right. Yeah, I love that quote from my dad, and he had to say it a lot to us back in the t-ball and pitch-t days. Of course, if you successfully teach your nephews the Lincecum/Haren/Wainwright hybrid pitching style they won't have to worry about catching many baseballs.
— Kristen
I think if I had a dollar for every time our pitchers lost a game due to a lack of run support, I could practically buy the White Sox a Jose Bautista.
Amen, sister, about putting your best defense on the field. I am not in the majority, but I fully believe, if you've got five compentent but unspectacular bats in your line-up surrounding your typical run producers, that you gain at least as much from somone who can prevent a run from scoring (ie: your Bourjos and my duo of Brents) as someone who might hit slightly more often, but doesn't contribute significantly to your defense.
But, I like watching good defense. So, I am biased and no one will ever convince me otherwise. :)
Keleigh – I love great defense too. I'm a small ball girl at heart – stellar defense, situational hitting, manufactured runs and good pitching and I'm in baseball fan heaven.

My dad was never much of a baseball fan before I came along but he learned the spot just so he could watch it with me. He took me to my first game in '93 and I still remember it like it was yesterday.

Buejaysnest – That is such a sweet story. I'll bet your dad remembers the first game just as fondly as you do.

I've watched several of Haren's games this season, I knew runs were hard to come by, but I didn't realize it was this bad. Of the 53 qualifying AL starting pitchers, Weaver is 51st in run support with 3.87/gm and Haren in 52nd with 3.83/gm.
Russel – I did not know the exact stat, but having watched these two run starved pitchers' every start, I believe those numbers. Sad, but true. And yet Weaver still has nine wins. With adequate run support he would easily have had 11 or 12 by now.

I'm getting a kick out of your location shots. Amongst the more obvious Statue of Liberty and Beastie Boys, I wonder how many people realized the beverage in a glass is a Manhattan? (I had a great-aunt who drank these all the time; never actually tried one myself) So, was yours real, and did one of you drink it?? Or was it a stunt double? ;-)
Thanks Sue! We had fun setting up those shots. Yay! I was wondering if anyone would get the drink. It was a real Manhatten and, like the In n' Out burgers from L.A., was well and thoroughly enjoyed post close-up. Manhattens are delicious! :)

Good news; I had zero trust towards Facebook getting it included in the Linux kernel.
There's another external module doing what flashcache does, I wonder what it became...
Phoronix: EnhanceIO: New Solid State Drive Caching For Linux
A commercial company has opened up their Linux driver that is based upon their SSD (Solid-State Drive) caching software product. This code is designed to use SSDs as cache devices for traditional rotating hard drives. This new SSD caching driver is based upon Facebook's Flashcache...
Good news; I had zero trust towards Facebook getting it included in the Linux kernel.
There's another external module doing what flashcache does, I wonder what it became...
Nice! I hope they will push to get it included in mainline.
This is good news. I've been using the capabilities of the zfs/zfsonlinux l2arc, but was just testing out flashcache again yesterday on non-zfs filesystems. Bcache is the only other current product that also provides a cache solution.
I may be wrong, but I couldn't see a way to install Bcache into an pre-existing linux kernel--the install method is to download a full blown, pre-patched kernel--too much work and to intrusive. Let me know if there is simpler way.
The latest flashcache was a small git clone and compile--took just a few minutes, and there were no problems with my existing 3.7 installed kernel source. I did have an issue with flashcache not working which I need to look into more. Flashcache caused sector read errors when used on an md raid device-- a raid0 device with two different sized raid1 devices. Flashcache worked fine on a simple md device.
Understood. The need was testing the ability of using a cache device without the zfs/spl dependencies.
A follow up to my flashcache issue I made reference too--seems flashcache has issues working with my 3TB 4k sector drive.
Good news, I only use obsolete magnetic disks for bulk data storage, where caching is irrelevant.
I wouldn't waste an SSD on this.
My initial impressions with EnhanceIO are very positive.
The installation was simple, it required copying the source directory to a linux kernel source folder, running a patch to get the source into the kernel make system, then compiling the kernel modules ( I just did a full make to re-build my my entire kernel ). It's a little more work than flashcache which builds the modules entirely outside the kernel source tree, but the directions and process were clear enough. The code also looks fairly small which hopefully means easy to maintain.
A few things I really like with EnhanceIO:
1. The cache is completely transparent. This means you can add and remove a cache device to a mounted disk or individual partition. I added a cache device to a mounted, in-use partition, then removed the device with no issues. It also means no separate dm mapping to the physical device, so you continue to mount and access the cached device through it's default /dev entry.
2. Along with being transparent, the SSD cached device can fail and reads/writes to the actual device will continue. To prevent the loss of data in a write-back configuration, you can mirror SSD devices.
3. Everything is done through the /proc interface. There is one python script used to create and manage the cache devices. Lots of stats are available through the /proc interface.
4. Different cache replacement modes: random, FIFO, and LRU .
My favorite feature, and the one I think sets EnhanceIO apart from other cache solutions ( outside of zfs), is the transparency. I'm used to adding cache devices to running zfs filesystems, so it was strange for me--at first-- when setting up flashcache to have to create/add a cache prior to mounting and accessing the underlying, cached device.
What we need now is a feature matrix comparing the available cache solutions as they continue to mature and prepare for inclusion in the kernel along with some performance benchmarks.

Gansevoort Park Hotel
420 Park Avenue South (at 29th Street), New York City, NY, USA
Neighborhood: Manhattan - Murray Hill
Check availability as rates may vary for dates. Best rate guaranteed.
If you'd said a few years ago that one of the cornerstones of the Meatpacking District nightlife and hospitality scene was going to pick Murray Hill for a sequel, most of us would have scoffed. That may be why most of us aren't successful real-estate developers. Some people, though, were savvy enough to see that this onetime no-man's-land — too far south to be midtown, too far north to be downtown — would be one of the next rising neighborhoods. Among them, the incisive reader will have by now guessed, was the Gansevoort group, whose Gansevoort Park now stands at the corner of 29th and Park Avenue South.
The interiors, including the 249 stylish guest rooms, are palpably influenced by the prewar Gotham romance of Park Avenue. Even at the lower end the rooms are certainly spacious enough by Manhattan standards, and all come equipped with the current luxury-hotel standards, right down to the iPod-ready sound systems.
Of course the appeal of a hotel like the Gansevoort Park is at least as much about its common spaces. Here they certainly haven't skimped. For guests there's a gym and spa, and the ground floor is home to retail and dining spaces as well as a Culter hair salon. All very fine, but you'll want to head straight for the roof, where three stories of rooftop bars and lounges are oriented around an indoor-outdoor pool.

Great location. Good Nightlife.
What the hotel could do better:
Toilet broke 3 times on the stay. They half-heartedly "repaired" it instead of replacing a small part within. Its very embarassing sharing a double when you cannot use the rest room.

About The Pirates: In An Adventure With Scientists
A stop-motion animated film from Aardman Animations that promises silly slapstick action for the kids and sly jokes for their parents. The Pirate Captain (Hugh Grant) is dashing, suave and a bit vain. He has a faithful crew and a trusty parrot (described by one pirate as 'like an auntie...with a beak!') but he's having trouble finding ships that carry gold. He decides to compete for the Pirate of the Year award, given by the Pirate King (Brian Blessed). Cruelly mocked by rivals Black Bellamy (Jeremy Piven) and Cutlass Liz (Salma Hayek), he devises a foolproof scheme that involves Queen Victoria (Imelda Staunton), Charles Darwin (David Tennant), biscuits and his crew dressing as Girl Guides. This also features the voices of Martin Freeman, Lenny Henry and Russell Tovey.

Columbia River K405BXP Ken Onion Ripple 3.125" Plain Blade, Blue Handles
Part Number: | CRK405BXP |
Manufacturer: | Columbia River (CRKT) |
CRK405BXP: Ripple Blue Pocket Worn
Columbia River Knife & Tool
He's back. He's here. Ken Onion Ripple.
In their first collaboration, Ken Onion and CRKT introduce their Ripple series of folding frame locks with premium stainless steel build and a stiction-free IKBS ball-bearing pivot.
Columbia River Knife & Tool and noted knife designer Ken Onion are proud to introduce their first collaboration together, the Ripple folding knife series.
This knife is noteworthy for its exceptional manufacturing quality, premium stainless steel build, plus an almost unbelievable silky smooth and fast opening action thanks to the use of the IKBS internal knife ball bearing system.
The modified drop point blade has a high hollow grind, swedged top edge, a high satin finish and Razor-Sharp cutting edge. Steel is premium Acuto, stainless, noted for its high chromium and molybdenum content and hardness of 59-60 HRC. It is instantly opened by pressing the blade flipper with either hand. For safety while closed, the blade has a ball detent.
Even the best conventional blade pivot bearings have some degree of friction which resists initial movement, or "stiction." In contrast, the Ripple blade opening action is almost friction-free due to the IKBS ball bearing system. This innovative and simple design places eight uncaged ball bearings on each side of the blade pivot in races which are machined into the stainless steel handle. It is compact and adjustable at the blade pivot screw if ever needed. Not only is opening and closing exceptionally smooth, the IKBS system is durable and requires little maintenance, and yields a folder with great rigidity and no blade play.
This Ripple KX405 models are frame lock open build knives with stainless steel frames. In typical Ken Onion attention to detail, the frame lock does not create an unsightly gap in the right frame, but its cut is neatly integrated into the grip design of the frame, which is CNC machined with a complex 'ripple' textured pattern plus 44 small lightening holes.
The Ripple KX405KXP receives a blue titanium nitride coating, which we then hand buff to give a pocket worn look, that is to lightly reveal the underlying stainless steel on the high points. The Ripple K405BXP achieves the same effect, but with a dark ultramarine blue titanium nitride finish.
Both models feature a removable stainless steel mirror polished pocket clip, high-mounted, and also with small CNC-drilled holes.
This knife combines brilliant design, custom knife quality, and advanced manufacturing technology.
- KX405KXP: High Satin blade finish with Blue Titanium Nitride frame coating Pocket Worn, Razor-Sharp Cutting Edge
- Blade Length: 3.125" (79 mm)
- Blade Thickness: 0.10" (2,5 mm)
- Steel: Acuto, 59-60 HRC
- Handle length: 4.375" (111 mm)
- Overall length: 7.50" (191 mm)
- Weight: 2.9 oz. (82 g)
UPC Code: 794023940527
Developed by Chris Reeve, it functions like a liner lock but the lock is comprised of one of the handle scales. It's an extremely strong and easy to manipulate lock.
Includes a pocket clip for easy accessibility and a more secure carry.
Stainless Steel knife handles provide strength and durability while using chromium oxide to create a rust-resistant barrier.

14 CFR 21.3 - Reporting of failures, malfunctions, and defects.
Title 14 published on 2014-01-01
no entries appear in the Federal Register after this date.
Title 14 published on 2014-01-01
The following are ALL rules, proposed rules, and notices (chronologically) published in the Federal Register relating to 14 CFR 21 after this date.
GPO FDSys XML | Text type regulations.gov FR Doc. 2015-03544 RIN 2120-AJ60 Docket No. FAA-2015-0150 Notice No. 15-01 DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION, Federal Aviation Administration Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM). Send comments on or before April 24, 2015. 14 CFR Parts 21, 43, 45, 47, 61, 91, 101, 107, and 183 The FAA is proposing to amend its regulations to adopt specific rules to allow the operation of small unmanned aircraft systems in the National Airspace System. These changes would address the operation of unmanned aircraft systems, certification of their operators, registration, and display of registration markings. The proposed rule would also find that airworthiness certification is not required for small unmanned aircraft system operations that would be subject to this proposed rule. Lastly, the proposed rule would prohibit model aircraft from endangering the safety of the National Airspace System.
GPO FDSys XML | Text type regulations.gov FR Doc. 2014-29799 RIN 2120-AK20 Docket No. FAA-2013-0933 DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION, Federal Aviation Administration Notice of availability and request for comments. Comments must be received on or before January 21, 2015. 14 CFR Parts 21 and 45 This notice announces the availability of and request for comments on proposed revisions to three FAA Advisory Circulars (ACs). The proposed revisions correspond to proposed regulatory changes outlined in the FAA's February 27, 2014, notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM), Changes to Production Certificates and Approvals. Due to erroneous information in the docket that may have led commenters not to submit their views on the ACs, the FAA will accept comment on the three ACs only, and not on the regulatory changes proposed in the NPRM. The three ACs include: AC 21-43, Production Under 14 CFR Part 21, Subparts F, G, K, and O; AC 21-44, Issuance of Export Airworthiness Approvals Under 14 CFR Part 21 Subpart L; and AC 45-2, Identification and Registration Marking.
GPO FDSys XML | Text type regulations.gov FR Doc. 2014-04330 RIN 2120-AK20 Docket No. FAA-2013-0933 Notice No. 14-01 DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION, Federal Aviation Administration Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM). Send comments on or before May 28, 2014. 14 CFR Parts 21 and 45 The FAA is proposing changes to its certification procedures and identification requirements for aeronautical products and articles. The proposed changes would: require production approval holders to identify an accountable manager who would be responsible for, and have authority over, their production operations and serve as the primary contact with the FAA; allow production approval holders to issue authorized release documents for aircraft engines, propellers, and articles; permit production certificate holders to manufacture and install interface components; require production approval holders to ensure that each supplier-provided product, article, or service conforms to the production approval holder's requirements and establish a supplier-reporting process for products, articles, or services that have been released from or provided by the supplier and subsequently found not to conform to the production approval holder's requirements; and remove the requirement that fixed-pitch wooden propellers be marked using an approved fireproof method. This proposal is necessary to update our regulations by revising certification and marking requirements to reflect the current global aeronautical manufacturing environment, thereby promoting aviation safety.

Originating in Richmond, BC, it is a celebration held in January where adults get together after the busy Christmas Holiday season and drink & eat completely way too much. Often times there will be vomiting, noise complaints and ridiculous drunken shenanigans. Every year there is different theme.

In a college town, it's the massive celebration that occurs on the Saturday before everyone leaves for break. It takes the place of other holiday parties because mostly everyone will be gone.

Homeowners in the Fort Worth-Arlington, Texas, metro division paid a median of $109,000 for their homes, according to a 2011 American Housing Survey profile released today. The median purchase price of homes constructed in the past four years was higher at $220,000. Nationally, homeowners paid $110,000 overall and $235,000 for new construction. There was no statistically significant difference between the national and Fort Worth overall median purchase price, and between the national and Fort Worth median purchase price of homes constructed in the last four years.
The profile released today provides information on the area's housing costs, mortgages and a variety of other physical and financial characteristics about housing in the Fort Worth area. The statistics come from the American Housing Survey, which is sponsored by the Department of Housing and Urban Development and conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau, and is the most comprehensive housing survey in the United States. National data are collected every odd-numbered year and metropolitan area data are collected on a rotating basis.
"The last five years remind us how central housing is to each of us personally, to the fiscal health of our cities and counties, and the national economy. For 40 years, the American Housing Survey has provided a unique set of data that connects the detailed characteristics of who is living in homes to the detailed characteristics of the homes themselves," said Kurt Usowski, HUD's Deputy Assistant Secretary for Economic Affairs. "From the American Housing Survey, we can see why people chose to move, how often homes need repairs, and the extent to which housing costs are outpacing income growth. All this information can help inform policymaking around continued recovery in Fort Worth and other metropolitan areas."
"We are pleased to have the opportunity to collaborate with HUD on these profiles," said the Census Bureau's Arthur Cresce, Jr., Assistant Division Chief for Housing Characteristics. "Analysts in government and business study the nation's housing very closely and the AHS yields a wealth of information that can be used by professionals in nearly every field for planning, decision-making, and market research."
Some highlights for the Fort Worth area include:
Physical Characteristics
Financial Characteristics
The American Housing Survey coverage of the Fort Worth-Arlington, Texas, metro division matches the 2009 Office of Management and Budget definition.

HUD's mission is to create strong, sustainable, inclusive communities and quality affordable homes for all. HUD is working to strengthen the housing market to bolster the economy and protect consumers; meet the need for quality affordable rental homes: utilize housing as a platform for improving quality of life; build inclusive and sustainable communities free from discrimination; and transform the way HUD does business.

Obito Uchiha and Kakashi Hatake continue their battle, with the former unleashing a barrage of shuriken only to be stopped by Kakashi's wall of earth. As Obito slips through the wall, Kakashi continues to ask him why and to ask him if it is related to Rin, to which Obito tells him to shut up. Obito then warps Kakashi to the other dimension, but his victory is short lived, as Kakashi returns using Kamui. In the meantime, Madara's Wood Dragon begins absorbing Kurama's chakra, causing Naruto's Tailed Beast Mode to falter. Obito begins to overwhelm Kakashi, bringing him to his knees. Madara uses Wood Release to bind Killer B and Might Guy, then begins to activate his Susanoo to finish things up on the battlefield. Resolved, Naruto notes that the Uchiha's ideals annoyed him to no end and, creating a shadow clone, he is able to stop both Obito's shuriken and Madara's Susanoo Sword from making killing blows on Kakashi and Guy respectively. Hearing Naruto's words that he would protect his friends, Kakashi and Guy both spring into action with the former using Lightning Cutter to destroy Obito's other shuriken and Guy using Daytime Tiger to attack Madara. Turning to his former comrade, Kakashi tells Obito that what he still remembered what he had taught him in the past and what he could do now, was protect Naruto.

Juliet of the Spirits (Giulietta degli spirit)
Drama, Comedy
Juliet of the Spirits is a fantastical showcase for Federico Fellini's vibrant imagery, starring his wife, Giulietta Masina, as the titular leading character. Juliet is a wealthy housewife who constantly fears her husband, Giorgio (Mario Pisu), is cheating on her. While she yearns for a peaceful intimate evening on the night of their 15th anniversary, the egotistical Giorgio has forgotten about it and instead arrives home with his eccentric friends. After a trip to a séance, Juliet is haunted by images from the spirit world, including obsessions from her past involving religion and her late relatives. With her sisters and mother prying into her life, Juliet seems to be seeking an inner peace amidst all the sexual temptations surrounding her. She meets her neighbor, Suzy (Sandra Milo), a showy pleasure-seeker who lives in a sensual playhouse. It appears that all of Juliet's family, friends, and fantasies demand that she loosen up and embrace sexual freedom, yet she remains chaste and dowdy, lamenting over her unfaithful husband. The reasons for Juliet's repression are not clearly defined by the narrative, despite glimpses into her supposed imagination. Forced to endure the constant bombardment of sexually charged imaginings, the demure Juliet retreats on her own.~ Andrea LeVasseur, All Movie Guide
