Super Bowl ads were better than the game
Anyone who remembers any of last year's Super Bowl commercials - raise your Buffalo chicken wing.
Like Cinderella's midnight transformation back into a charwoman, Super Bowl ads are famous for one night only. The next day, they reverse-engineer back into those damn things we fast-forward through. »Read Full Blog Post(10)
Bruno Mars' Super Bowl show: A Summerfest preview?
Looks like Summerfest is going to have a good opening night.
Sunday's Super Bowl halftime show with soulful pop star Bruno Mars offered a sneak peak at the Big Gig's headliner June 25. While naturally the scale of the 13-minute spectacle — with its stadium-wide firework finish to "Just the Way You Are" — isn't going to fit inside the Marcus Amphitheater, what stands a good chance of making the transition is Mars' showmanship. »Read Full Article(2)

Next Act Theatre keeps communication honest in Mamet's 'Race'
However earnest and well-intentioned it may be, politically correct thinking is pernicious in life and boring on stage. The invariable result is mind-numbing, feel-good stories exonerating all of us from thinking harder — and talking better — about difficult issues like race and gender.
The iconoclastic David Mamet is thinking a lot about both hot-button topics in "Race," his provocative play exploring the dynamic between three lawyers — two black and one white — as they wrestle with their latest case, involving a rich, older white man accused of raping a young black woman. »Read Full Article

Sep 16, 2013Oh, what a movie. Spielberg is back to his old tricks to making good movies. Lincoln is a character study, as well as featuring an authentic, true performance by Daniel Day-Lewis hat seals us away and shows off his acting talents. He gets everything about Lincoln's disposition down to a tee, beard and all.
Aug 22, 2013
Jun 28, 2013I'm not really into biographies or historical films, however Lincoln just fascinated me. The movie was set at the apex of his career and the film really never got boring. The acting was amazing, the narrative was well told, and it was an extremely memorable movie.

May 19, 2013It's confusing and a little tiring, but satisfying and therefore the performance of its cast saves the film from any negative review, apart from a policy, the film runs smoothly and its soundtrack brings an air of sweetness, which helps in the important parts of the movie and this establishes the film as one of Spielberg's best, even if he goes out of style movie director.
May 14, 2013
May 7, 2013Steven Spielberg can't go wrong. I've got to say I'm Latina, I already knew Lincolns story but this film is so meaningful and powerful that it made me realize the point of the whole historic event. Daniel Day-Lewis was Brilliant and Tommy Lee Jones was splendid. This movie is one of the Best movies i've seen in a while. Bravo Steven!

Mar 31, 2013My favorite movie of 2012. Lincoln is exceptional film making by Steven Spielberg, with brilliant performances by Daniel Day Lewis and Tommy Lee Jones.
Mar 30, 2013The best historical movie I've ever seen. It makes you care about our most important president in ways you would never think you would. It's funny, it's interesting, and of course, Daniel-Day Lewis is perfect as Abraham Lincoln.
Mar 24, 2013
Mar 15, 2013There is no way this movie did not win 'Best Picture' at the Academy awards. Truly fascinating It kept me glued to the screen. Congratulations to everyone involved here to make such a masterpiece. Daniel Day Lewis is truly an exceptional actor.
Mar 11, 2013In my opinion the best movie of 2012. Absolutely flawless. Daniel Day Lewis gave the greatest performance I have ever seen. Tommy Lee Jones best role since No Country For Old Men. Those who are saying this movie is too slow clearly doesn't appreciate history. It's as if you're getting a glimpse of Lincoln himself. Perhaps the closest we will ever be to the real man.

Jan 24, 2013This film has the best Lincoln as perfectly portrayed by Daniel Day-Lewis. While the performances are trophy-worthy along with production design, the screenplay enjoys the benefit of the doubt. Nevertheless, this one deserves to join the roll of best history movies. Worth-watching.

Jan 20, 2013Lincoln is unquestionably one of Hollywood's top three films of 2013; Spielberg's direction and Day-Lewis' performance are more than just noteworthy. This is an effective and fairly displayed period piece that can only be criticized for it accurate display of a slower time and its artistry prevents any other negative honesty.
Jan 15, 2013Daniel Day Lewis is a perfectly cut glittering diamond in this beautifully crafted setting. Spielberg has renewed my trust in him, since this is easily the best film he's made since Saving Private Ryan.
Jan 14, 2013Although the film is a little slow at times, the acting is superb. The beginning scene is one of the best as well as the telegraphers speaking to Lincoln. Anyone who calls this movie or acting mundane, i just don't get it.
Jan 13, 2013
Jan 10, 2013
Jan 3, 2013I like the movie. Maybe, because I am too spoiled with action movies, this one seems slow, almost like a reading book. I found the structure to be interesting, - arguments over a passing 13 amendment has almost took entire movie, building the culmination bust in the end. The characters were deep and passionate. Overall good movie.
Jan 2, 2013A wonderful movie, it tells the part of the story that wasn't told- the struggles Lincoln had to deal with in his fight versus the Democrats and even within his own party. It's a compelling drama, in the spirit of "The King's Speech" after watching this movie I admired Lincoln, and wished I had been around to hear one of his "stories"

Dec 5, 2012"Lincoln" is a triumph. Here is a historical film that is heavy in dialogue, but never strays into idleness or melodrama. Intelligent and powerful filmmaking.
Dec 3, 2012
Dec 3, 2012I thought the movie was good. the performances were good and the look of the film was spot on. It was a little confusing keeping track of who everyone was. I really liked Lewis as Lincoln. I want to see it again and I think I will get more out of it. overall 9/10.

Nov 28, 2012Honestly one of the best movies I have seen in a long time! Spielberg did a wonderful job on this piece. The acting and the costumes to the filming locations were perfect. The chemistry between Daniel Day Lewis and Sally Fields was epic. A must see!!
Nov 27, 2012I'm writing an example review for a school project. Sorry if you read this before I delete it. Well then again I hope metacritic allows me to delete this. Ok bye.
Nov 26, 2012A fantastic movie. I cannot say enough good things. The acting was amazing, especially Daniel Day Lewis and Tommy Lee Jones. However, the entire cast is great. The soundtrack is fantastic and the cinematography is great too. This is one of the few movies I have seen that left me in tears. If you dont see this movie, you should never watch another movie again.
Nov 26, 2012
Nov 26, 2012The best aspect of this film is that you see Lincoln the person and not Lincoln the hero. The acting was so superb that you forget you're watching actors. Also, had a great blend of political humor. Amazing film! The only reason I didn't give this movie a ten, was for the fact that it was a bit dialogue heavy, which made it hard to follow sometimes.

Nov 24, 2012Lincoln is one of the greatest biopics of all time.Steven spielberg has done an incredible job.this movie is grand.the cinematography is amazing.All the performances are astonishing.daniel day lewis delivers the performance of a lifetime.
Nov 23, 2012
Nov 22, 2012Lincoln presents the characters' conflicts without taking sides, but still manages to pull off a perfect historical film that, with the absolutely flawless performance of Daniel Day-Lewis, is sure to be an Oscar contender and remain one of the best films of 2012.
Nov 20, 2012The ingenuity of the script in impeccable. Never has a film payed such careful attention to the details of politics. Yet even through all the detail, and all the material covered, Speilberg's Lincoln is compulsively watchable. The result is a great American movie.
Nov 19, 2012
Nov 18, 2012Interesting movie. It prompted me to read Ms. Goodwin's book. There were several actors that I absolutely loved seeing and they all did an amazing job.
Nov 17, 2012Steven Spielberg's movie made a huge impression in theators. With a blazing $85,846. The movie has such a great cast. This is what a biography film should be like.
Nov 16, 2012
Nov 11, 2012they might as well give day-lewis the oscar now. he outdoes even himself here. a truly lived-in character right from the start. and kushner's script is unbelievable. bravo
Nov 10, 2012First rate look at the personal side of real people written about so much as "legend" that you forget. Is Rex Reed serious about this being a "bore"? When is he going to retire and stop boring us?
Nov 9, 2012Oh, this is beautiful film-making. Spielberg takes you on a ride inside Lincoln's mind and his intimate conflicts, in such a pretty and touching way...
DDL is outstanding once again, and this will be seriously a big contender to the award season. I bet . -
Nov 9, 2012I was enthralled from the start.
While it isn
Jan 11, 2013Steeped in the bitter political divisions of the Civil War, Spielberg's thrilling film about hardwon freedoms is immersed in its own time, but speaks eloquently to ours.
As unexpected as it is intelligent, thanks to virtuoso work from Spielberg and Kushner, Lincoln is landmark filmmaking, while Day-Lewis is so authentic he pulls off that stovepipe.
Lincoln does sometimes get a little sappy around the edges. Though his project here is clearly one of conscious self-restraint, Spielberg can't resist the occasional opportunity for patriotic tear-jerking, usually signaled by a swell of John Williams' symphonic score. But in between, there are long stretches that are as quiet, contemplative, and austere as anything Spielberg has ever done.

Dialga (Japanese: ディアルガ Diaruga) is a Steel/Dragon-type Legendary Pokémon. Dialga is known as the temporal Pokémon, and serves as the Version Mascot for the game Pokémon Diamond. Its the rival of Giratina and Palkia.
Dialga is a sauropod-like Pokémon. It's mainly dark blue with some gray metallic portions, such as its chestplate, which has a diamond in the center. It also has various light blue lines. It has a somewhat wing-like structure on its back, and a crest on its head, resembling a type of dinosaur. Dialga also has two horns on top of its head, two fang-like horns around its mouth, long claws, and a short tail.In the manga
Pokemon Adventures
- In the manga, Dialga is being controlled by Cyrus and the red chain. Dialga uses it's ability to control time for battling.
Dialga had a role in all the Diamond and Pearl movies with the exception of Zorak Master of Illusions. Dialga had a major role in the Rise of Darkrai where it battled against Palkia in between dimensions. Dialga's Roar of Time cracked the pearl on Palkia's arm and forced Palkia to flee to Alamos town where the two had another spectacular battle with Dialga having the upper hand. When the sound disk was played from the Time-Space towers Dialga left to it's own dimension.
Dialga played a minor role in Giratina and the Sky Warrior where Giratina attempted to capture Dialga for polluting it's world in it's battle against Palkia. Dialga tried to escape the Reverse world at least twice but Giratina managed to drag it back. Eventually it was able to escape thanks to Shaymin's Seed flare but not before trapping Giratina in an infinite time loop preventing it from leaving the Reverse world.
Dialga played a major role (larger than Palkia's or Giratina's) in Arceus and the Jewel of Life where it saved Pikachu and Piplup from whirlpools at the ruins. It briefly battled Giratina when it arrived to capture Dialga again in revenge only to be stopped by Ash and Sheena convincing Giratina that Dialga had been misunderstood. Later when Arceus appeared to pass out it's judgement Dialga appeared alongside Palkia and Giratina to stop it. Dialga played a major role by transporting Ash and his friends back in time to stop Damos from betraying Arceus. Dialga was later healed alongside Palkia and Giratina by Arceus and flew off to it's own dimension.
Dialga also played a major role in The Battle Finale of Legend in the Diamond an Pearl Galactic Battles series alongside Palkia where Cyrus managed to control the two using the red chain. When Uxie, Mesprit and Azelf helped Ash and his friends destroy the chains Dialga and Palkia destroyed the portal created for Cyrus and thus saving them all.
Special Abilities
Dialga has the ability Pressure, which causes the opposing Pokémon to use twice as much PP for every successful hit.
Additionally, Dialga has the ability to control time. Dialga, like many other Dragon type Pokémon, can use many various elemental attacks. It is also one of the few Pokémon that can learn the move Aura Sphere. Capturing it gives you an item called the Adamant Orb, which powers Dialga's attacks.
Dialga is the only Pokémon that can learn the move Roar of Time, its signature move, aside from the special Event Pokémon Darkrai given in the Tenth Movie and in the Toys R' Us Nintendo World Tour, the Pokémon Smeargle, who can Sketch the move, Pokémon with Metronome, a Pokémon using Mirror Move immediately after Dialga uses the move, and a Level 100 special Event Arceus.

- Dialga has no known gender, but in the Mystery Dungeon games, it is referred to as a male.
- Dialga is derived from "Diamond", as Palkia's is derived from the Japanese word for "Pearl". It may also be derived from dial, referring to its time-based capabilities.
- No other Pokémon has the same type combination as Dialga.
- Dialga is the only Dragon-type Pokémon not to be weak to Dragon-type moves.
- Despite being able to levitate, it does not have the ability Levitate and thus remains susceptible to Ground type moves (unless taught Magnet Rise by the move tutor in Platinum).
- In the anime, Dialga's rear spikes grow whenever it uses Roar of Time.
- Dialga is the only legendary dragon in the quadrupedal class in the Pokédex. Palkia, Reshiram, Zekrom and Kyurem are bipedal, Rayquaza and Origin Giratina are snake-like, and Altered Giratina has six legs. The only quadrupedal dragons beside Dialga are Salamence, Shelgon, Deino, and Zweilous.
- In Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Darkness, Dialga was the one who created the Hidden Land. Ironically, he is also restricted from going back there when on an adventure.
- The fact that Dialga has to rest after he uses the move Roar of Time may refer to releasing the power of time and stopping himself from moving.
- Dialga has the most resistances of any legendary Pokémon with 11 resistances in total.
Dialga's 11 resistances are:
Steel, Water, Rock, Bug, Ghost, Psychic, Normal, Electric,
Flying, Dark, and Grass.
- Dialga also has the least number of weaknesses of any legendary Pokemon (with the exception of Palkia which has only one which is Dragon but has hardly any resistances).
Dialga's 2 weaknesses are:
Fighting and Ground (without Magnet rise)
- Dialga also is immune to Poison which is the best immunity to have, even better than Giratina's 2-3 immunities since Giratina has many more weaknesses and fewer resistances than Dialga.

Wish these comics were able in comic book form. That way I can store them and read them whenever I wanted to.
Well... that was interesting. lol
Check out my MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE ART & More at my ART BLOG!!!
JafariStew's ART BLOG!! UPDATED 4.19.15!!
Jafaristew...the guy that coined the term "200X."
This was a hilarious issue no doubt. However, the direction of this series is oxymoronic in terms of both style and content! Either too dark or too ubsurdly comical, too colorful or almost no color at all! As if the whole thing is a mad lab of experiments!
Epic Metal music rocks the universe.
I concur with the lab experiment idea. The way these comics are all "different" is a great way to celebrate 30 years in my opinion, but not to rope in any new audiences. The reason we all seem to like these is because of 30 years of history and media with which to associate...my 10-year-old nephew thought this issue was horrible and, unfortunately, isn't going to buy any more of them because he really hasn't understood any of them except for the sir Laser-Lot issue.
I think these comics really prove that the MOTU property is unique to our generation and Mattel and DC understand that, but probably don't have the wherewithal to make the investment it would take to introduce MOTU to new audiences. But that is just my opinion.
Its a long time time to wait for Electroid Love---AREMESH in 2016!
I took a couple of pages to get into it, but then really enjoyed it, works perfectly for an Orko story!
Plus, in one form or another, we got to see Man-E, Snout Spout, Stinkor and Buzz Off!
Worst one. I loved the others.
Randors was the best.
i just laugh a lot! hahaha really funny!

In this game, you play as a not so intelligent guy who just lost a bet to someone. He has to give up everything he has(house, car, money saved up etc) or streak through five cites for 24 hours each without getting caught by the police. He decided to streak. The night before he has to do all this, aliens abducted him and turned him into a super human. So yeah, you play as a naked guy with super powers who will be chased by police because running around naked is illegal. The cities will be New York, London, Paris, Moscow and Tokyo. There will be achievements and cool tattoos, hair styles and piercings, you can unlock. There is also a zombie mode that can be unlocked. In this mode you are running away from zombies in cities taken over by zombies during a zombie apocalypse.

Then and Now
I found the picture on the left of me and my mom while I was cleaning this afternoon. I'm about the same age my kids are now. I tried to recreate the picture with Oscar when I picked him up for school, but it didn't really work. I'm overly stylized, and he's not enthused. It lacks the spontaneity and seems over thought compared to the original. But there's something about posing with my kids like this.
It's not a pose professional photographers use, yet it's one of my favorites. Cheek to cheek. I've always loved walking around the house, holding my kids tight against my face. Their skin so soft. Their cheeks so bouncy. Nothing like it. It's such a weird sign of endearment, but one of my favorite parts about motherhood.
My mother died five years before I started having kids. I never had the chance to directly ask her about her favorite parts of motherhood. Seeing this picture shows me we share the same joy. Cheeks! I like to think it's something I learned from her.
What's one of your favorite part about motherhood?

What a beautiful memory, I'm so sorry about your mom. I know having my son has brought my mom and I much closer together.
Your pictures reminded me of this funny memory. When I was in high school there was a mother daughter look-a-like contest at the mall (small town). And I entered with a photo of me at the beach with our golden retriever, my mom had a similar photo, and it was uncanny how much I looked like her. We didn't win, but I love the pictures.
Have you seen that photo series where the photographer recreates a childhood photo of the person as an adult, hilarious and also eerie since you can really see who they will become at such a young age.

Great pics and great memories.
I love cheek to cheek too.I never knew that about you. I guess I learn something new everyday. I love the softness of babies'/kids' skin.
One of my favorite things about motherhood is going on adventures with my kids. I love planning trips/events. It is extra special when we all have a great time at the event!:) I also love volunteering in my kids' classroom too. I feel like I learn a little bit about their world for the day when I go in and help.
Motherhood can be very challenging without a Mom to help guide you through this amazing journey. I think that is why God made Sisters,Aunts,Friends,...:)
Love u:)

What a sweet picture, and you look so alike your mom.
Gyda. Re: Anonymous
Here's the link for the photo series! It took some weird googling, but I finally found it. ;)
It's called "Back to the Future" by Irina Werning
http://irinawerning.com/back-to-the-fut/back-to-the-future/Oh this post brought tears to my eyes! I lost my mom last summer, 2 months before my wedding. I am now 3 months pregnant (and praying for twins actually) and love looking at old pictures of my mom and I when I was a little girl - she was the best! I'm so looking forward to motherhood, but I often think of the questions I never got to ask her. But I know in the heart of hearts, she probably already taught me the answers...or will be there guiding me to the answers from heaven...
ReplyDeleteYour posture? And they way you're holding your little one? It looks just like your mom's!!! Amazing.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this post. I lost my mom a decade ago and last year had my first baby boy. I definitely wish I could share this time with her (and ask her for advice!). Your post helped remind me that our moms probably pass on a little bit of themselves to us more than we realize.
P.S. Cheek to cheek is the absolute best :)You know, my favorite part of being a mother is how my kids always have a way of making me feel like I am the most beautiful, talented, special woman in the world. I could wake up with the hair of a banshee, but yet, they are there saying, "Oh Mom, you look beautiful today!" So even when I'm not so great, or acting like a great mom, they have a way of putting things in perspective and I am so grateful for them. Love this post Sharon. Its fabulous. I also loved your post - you look a lot like your mother, both of you are beautiful ladies.

Cause of fire in vacant Manchester building under investigation
When the first fire crews arrived, Pelletier said there was a "pretty good volume of fire" and a "big ball of fire coming" out the window in the front.
Flames were extending up both the interior and exterior of the building. Firefighters, in addition to battling the blaze in the dark, had to use extreme caution to avoid holes cut in the second-story floor, according to Pelletier.
The building, designed with four apartments, was built in 1910 and features "balloon construction," meaning there are no fire breaks in the framing which allows flames to get into the walls and run free from the basement to the top peak.
Pelletier said fire crews cut through the roof in the front to get at the hidden flames.
No one was injured.
Fire crews contained the blaze to the building, although the fire's heat melted siding on an apartment building at 303 Hanover St. The fire was under control about 50 minutes after it was first reported, but crews did not clear the scene until about 1:20 a.m.
The building is owned by 305 Hanover LLC, with Doug Jones the contact person, according to Pelletier. Damage is estimated at between $80,000 and $100,000.

All new Honeywell central vacuums are now manufactured by Electrolux Home Care Products of North America and are built at the former BEAM central vacuum factory in Iowa, USA. Electrolux manufacturers several brands including Eureka, Aggresor and BEAM brand central vacuums which began production of it's first units in 1957 and now offers central vacuums in over 50 countries around the world. The Honeywell Quiet Pro power units can be matched with other brands of central systems and they also works great as a replacement power unit for older models and other brands.
The Honeywell H902 Dual Motor power unit is finished with a durable powder coat finish on a heavy-duty steel body. The dual motor H902 units also feature a patented sound-reducing technology for lower power unit noise levels and each model includes an exhaust muffler. With the patented Quiet Pac® sound insulation system the Quiet Pro unit is engineered for installation in all areas, even where noise is a factor. Model H902 Quiet Pro is a large body cleaning system for areas up to 15,000 square feet with a maximum 1000 airwatts of cleaning power and is very similar in design and features with the BEAM 3500C model which offer the same power as BEAM SC3980A. All Honeywell power units provide excellent cleaning with 100% filtration when vented outside. Quiet Pro models use a new Triumph® HEPA permanent filter system that is self-shedding and maintenance free. Debris is contained within a large 7 gallon lightweight plastic collection bin. The collection bin is bagless with a see-through dirt level window and easy to use latching closure system. Great for large tube installations and hide-a-hose systems where more power is required.
Anyone offering central vacuums online can claim to be an expert, but the standard must be higher than sticking a shipping label on a box and hoping for the best. Only Vacdepot with nearly two decades of online shipping know-how and five decades of vacuum industry experience provides this unique service for its customers on every power unit, because only Vacdepot can.

Having read the various discussions between a (very childish) Carter and some other forum members (with which I fully concur) I was wondering if there are any possiblities, other than just not reading them to make the posts of certain people disappear.
We are all persueing the same wonderfull hobby. None of us (or at the very least almost non of us) get paid for it. If one person tries to vent his frustration in a manner as displayed here I think that this person is being either very stupid or has lost all tough with reality.
As a webmaster for another club I know how much work is put into getting a website that the members want. I know all of that costs a lot of effort and to have one geek that vents this kind of unfunded crap makes me want to blacklist this dude so that I cannot accidentily help this guy when he decides to use this forum for what it was meant for (sharing of information and experiences.
Just my 2 cents worth.

maybe i'm looking in the wrong places, but all i see so far are announcements. So i would sayThis past week AMD raised the Linux graphics bar
"This past week AMD announced to raise the Linux graphics bar"
perhaps i'm splitting hairs ...
If it all follows true as hyped, I completely concur with the article though, but Until then i'm not popping open any champagne.
I personally don't like this:
- there is something coming
- there are some slides coming
- they are delayed
- some more
- here's 7 seven yay? but there is something else coming
- not quite yet but it's coming
- coming to computers near you soon
- it will be clarified in the near future
- not here yet, but this is coming
- So now it's said to be finally concrete and very close
- o and aiglx didn't get into this one just yet, but it will be soon.
I don't want to sound ungrateful, but this process is just Cruel
You don't write a driver for a device range of devices as complex as the amd/ati dedicated graphics cards in a fortnight and a few liters of caffeine holding liquids.
And if this way makes the most economic sense who am i to criticize. We all know that great software is software that you never knew existed. and they say bad publicity is publicity all the same. Still doesn't mean i have to like it
If i was really evil, I would draw parallels with the epic tale of the vista release. Hopefully this story does have a happy ending.
Just the sentiments of this r500 user at the time of writing,the article states the mindset can changed rapidly. And I do really hope that the next item in the rss feed will link to something i can wget
My opinion regarding buying a new ati/amd card have been changed from "o my no never again" to "hmz maybe", by the "onlsaught of phoronix news articles", and i'm genuinely hoping that once I install this driver or the one which does feature aiglx (preferably the developed skeleton driver ...), I can change it to something even more positive.

Similar to a motorboat, however the key difference is the girl has small breasts. The giver sticks his head over the breasts instead of between the breasts as they are too small.
That girls breasts were too small to motor boat, so I had to hovercraft them.

When you HAVE to use a public bathroom and HAVE to use the stall, but the seats are too disgusting to actually sit on and there's no seat covers so you have to just pull down your pants and hover your butt over the side of the bowl and drop your load in like a hovercraft dropping shipments/torpedoes.
Dude, that toilet was so disgusting, I had to do the hovercraft!

i dont see why so many people use " GUI's " all the time in Linux. use Microsoft windows if you " Need " GUI all the time. as for packagekit, no one is forced to use it if it doesnt work Nicely for you. iv'e even seen people saying how bad Software center/Synaptic is. but lets not go offtopic. there is nothing wrong with RPM IMO. read the advantages of RPM compared to .DEB .
Hi. I am the Fedora QA team leader.
Put yourself in my shoes. It's two weeks before the release date for Fedora 1. We now need to do all this testing you advise (that's a great idea, by the way, I'll get right on that. Why didn't I think of that before? Testing!)
So, what would you recommend we do? Well, obviously, we need to spin up some ISOs from the current package set. Well, okay, let's do that. (time passes). Okay, we have some ISOs. Let's do all that testing on them. (More time passes, say a day or two).
Okay, now we have this handy list of bugs that we found during testing. All we need to do is get those bugs fixed, and make some more images. Let's go tell the developers about the bugs, and get them fixed! (More time passes, say four days - it's now about a week since we made the test ISOs). Whew, all those bugs are fixed. Let's build some new ISOs and make sure everything's hunky dory before we release this thing.
*spits out pipe*
What the deuce?! Some impertinent developers have gone and *changed things* while we were doing all our testing! How inconvenient! Now all those bugs we found are gone, but all those changes have made things break since we did the testing. How can we possibly deal with this?
I know! Before we release Fedora 2, when it's two weeks before release, and it's time to do all that 'testing' stuff, we could tell the developers they're not allowed to change things any more. We could only let them change things to fix the bugs we find. It would be like the code was...unchangeable. Frozen in time. Ooh! That's a good word! Let's call it a "freeze".
(more time passes)
Well hey, that worked out pretty well. We did all that 'testing' stuff on Fedora 2, and because we didn't let the developers change things while we were doing the testing - that clever 'freeze' thing - we didn't wind up with new bugs showing up in the mean time. But those darn developers, they're never happy. 'What do you expect us to do during those two weeks?', they say. 'Just sit around and twiddle our thumbs?'
Well, yeesh, you just can't please all the people all of the time. But let's try. For Fedora 3, what we could do is have a separate place where developers could work on things while the main place we keep all the packages we're building the release from is 'frozen'. Let's call this separate place, ooh, a 'repository'. That way the developers can be happy and keep working, but what they're doing doesn't screw with our testing and we don't get lots of changes in the images we're building! Gee, what a clever idea.
So now it's Fedora 3 release day, and we have these well-tested images right _here_, and all these updates the developers have been working on over _here_, in this 'side repository'. We also, believe it or not, have a rather sophisticated process in place for testing these updates, and there's no reason we can't run that process while the freeze is in place. Actually, we do. So we have a big pile of updates which have been tested as updates always are, but which didn't get into the release because of this crazy 'freeze' idea we invented. So what do we do with them? We release the bloody things.
Congratulations, you are now up to date with where the entire bleeding software industry was in, oh, 1983 or so.
tl;dr summary: there is a perfectly good reason there are a lot of updates on the day of a Fedora release. It's because of a process that's been standard in the software industry for bleeding decades. It is not, shockingly enough, because a major distribution community backed by a billion-dollar software company is staffed entirely by drooling imbeciles. I realize it's hard to accept, but believe it or not, most of us actually know what the fuck we're doing most of the time.
Sorry to be so sarcastic, but seriously. Yeesh.
Well fucking said. Some people have their heads up their asses and really have no idea what it takes to finalize a successful release.
Having said that, I'm glad the GUI for YUM is in for a change. That thing froze so many times on me, I lost count - forcing me back to the command line to do any useful work. Maybe installing/removing packages should be left for YUM (the command line) only? Something to think about...
Note that you can continue to use the old names and it will still work.
I have used RHEL and Fedora a bit and then I got Debian and Ubuntu to my hands. That's where I understood that I like debian package management far more than yum/rpm. RPM itself is dumb and not meant to be used on daily basis. It's like dpkg in Debian and surely needs front end. That's where Fedora and RHEL hit their wall. Yum suxx. When compared to others.
1) Yum is slow. No, really it is. Does not stands comparison.
2) Yum is a memory hog. You see, on virtual machine with 128Mb RAM (which is more than enough to boot it and run networked services) yum would eventually cause OOM when installing packages with a lot of dependencies.
3) It's awkward and uses awkward data formats for repos. At the end they fugured this causes such a horrible performance that now they gone as far as to download pre-built SQLite databases. Which is a really strange way of doing things.
So yum suxx. Absolutely. And it looks that for some reason they failed to completely trash it to garbage bin and rather prefer to half-fix it. However the only proper way to "fix" this garbage is to completely trash it, give a boot to python script kiddies and rewrite it using C/C++ and adequate programmers, so it would be fast, do not eat hundred megz of RAM and will not be plagued by bugs. Somethings that other decent distros did ages ago. Most notably, debian based, suse-based, etc.
As for me I would never consider Fedora again and will avoid RHEL as much as possible unless they completely reconsider their shitty package management.
i thought ZIF was going to replace yum. http://people.freedesktop.org/~hughsient/zif/ It is mention on the DNF FAQ, but not really explained.
The idea of a shared dependency solver across distros is nice. I wonder if it can help bring advanced features like differentiating between depends, recommend and suggests as used in debian.

Built on a foundation of trust, Armstrong has built a reputation of quality and craftsmanship throughout its complete line of flutes. The 103EOS flute has offered students durability and dependability for generations.
The "Progressive" style headjoint offers players crisp response and ease of playing throughout all registers.
The offset G key follows the natural contour of student's hands and makes playing more comfortable.
Open hole keys provide students the ability to develop and progess into a higher level of playing, encourages proper hand position and provides more clarity in tone.
The split E mechanism makes the third octave E natural easier to play and speak more clearly.
Top adjusting screws provide ease of repair and adjustment to keys.
Built in Elkhart, Indiana, the Armstrong 103OS flute is designed to last and provide a superb playing experience for students.
In 1931, William Teasdale Armstrong, a highly respected craftsman and a C.G. Conn shop foreman, founded his small flute repair shop in Elkhart, Indiana. Word of his skill and uncompromising commitment to quality quickly spread, and it wasn't long before he was asked to manufacture instruments for professional musicians.
The proud Armstrong heritage passed on to son Edward, who apprenticed under his father and shared his father's attention to detail regarding quality. Edward's concern for quality went well beyond the crafting of professional level instruments. He recognized a need to provide quality instruments to a rapidly growing number of students and community musicians.
In the 1970s, Armstrong developed a "new" flute scale in conjunction with Albert Cooper. Prior to this new scale, flute makers would correct the tuning of A=435 commonly found on flutes by cutting the end of the headjoint to bring pitch up to A=440. While this served to correct the pitch in the center registers, all other octaves did not play in tune. Armstrong and Cooper collaborated together to create a whole new flute with improved performance. Changes would include a tapered headjoint, alterations to dimension of tone holes and tone hole placement. This redesigned flute would become today's 102, 103, and 104 model flute platforms.
In 1984, the Armstrong woodwind company was sold to King Musical Instruments, which later merged with C.G. Conn in 1985 to form United Musical Instruments (UMI). UMI later merged with the Selmer Company in 2002 and created Conn-Selmer, Inc.

What do you think of the
Giordana FormaRed Carbon Women's Long Sleeve Jersey
? Share a...
Shannon H.
Great base and outer layer
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I have a medium in this jersey; I am 5'4" and 125 lbs. I love it. It fits snugly without binding. It is a great all-around jersey for unpredictable spring weather. I have worn it under layers, during chilly rain, and it works to help keep my core comfortable and dry. It wicks sweat well, and also is great as a stand-alone jersey. one of my favorites.
Debbie C
Inside Scoop
More attention to detail, like no others!
Here again, you can see the tech. differences between the F.R.C. on the left, & the Silverline, on the right.
Debbie C
Side x Side Compare
The F.R.C. vs. the Silverline...just no comparison. Besides fit, look at the zipper detail. The F.R.C. has a fabric backing, and fine-toothed zipper to help block the wind/cold; while the Silverline's zipper has no fabric backing, and large, course zipper teeth which allow cold air to flow right through...and cold metal to touch skin; and this cold still radiates through base layers in winter.
And then, of course, is fit/looks!
Debbie C
Back Zip Pocket
Not quite large enough to accommodate my i_phone in the case, but fine for keys, C.C., and things of like size. All back pockets are perfectly proportioned, and relatively easy to access.
The inside of the zip pocket is a perforated material...so, if you want, you can just use this pocket as a 'vent', if things get too toasty!
Jersey is stretchy, yet holds it's shape.
Debbie C
Attention to Details
Love the 'weather-stripping' along the back of the zipper: keeps wind out, and freezing metal away from skin.
Nice collar height, and close, but not restrictive or choking.
fits a bit small
- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
- Fit: Runs small
Very nice jersey, had all the specs I was looking for, but was too small for me across the shoulder and around the tummy. I ordered size S, I am 5'4", 125lbs. Returned.
Debbie C
All the F.R.C. runs small (all the Italian bike wear, and regular clothing run small). Try the next size up. Or, you may like the Silverline, with it's more relaxed fit...but not the same level performance.
Debbie C
Perfect Purple Passion
- Gender: Female
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: Runs small
I also just got this jersey...it is so comfortable! And so good to know, that something of this level of technology AND style/fit is available for most all body types! The sleeves are plenty long enough, good room for shoulders/and bust (if you're so blessed!), stretchy but not like a compression type garmet, unless you order close size-wise. The jersey is much more attractive in person: I got the purple, very nice shade; and the white accents have a kinda' pattern/texture giving it a more sporty feel (almost like a carbon fiber look). Can't wait to get the jacket in purple to complete the look and system. Have the FR Carbon jacket in black...it's is just wonderful! So go for it, what ever level you're at; good equipment/gear will help you succeed and enjoy cycling even more!
Awesome Jersey
This jersey is perfect for temperatures in the the mid 40s-50s with a baselayer. If you're dipping into the low 40s, it still works great, but I've been wearing a vest over it. It's very flattering. I'm 5'-5", 115 lbs with a non-curvy runner's build and got an XS, which fits pretty tight, but doesn't seem to ride up. If you have larger hips, you might want to size up because it's definitely tight at the bottom. My only complaint is that the pockets in the back are really small. I could barely fit my gloves into one pocket.

The world's largest man-made island
The property boom going on in the Persian Gulf at present knows no bounds, largely because it has been given a grand vision. Conceptualised to solve Dubai's beach shortage by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the person who has masterminded the emergence of Dubai, the Palm Trilogy is to be completed with a collossus, adding a few records to Dubai's already splendid set of man-made biggests. Nakheel will employ its now highly-refined island building methods to create the largest man-made island on the planet, housing more than a million people in fine style. With a surface area of 46.35 million square metres, the Palm Deira will be bigger than Paris. That's it on the right, next to the World, then Palm Jumeirah, then Palm Jebel Ali on the left. Check out the great piccies and renderings in the photo library.

Zimmermann looks to give Nats two-game set in Houston
Oberholtzer out to get Astros split with visiting Washington
Despite having several of their key players, including third baseman Ryan Zimmerman and outfielder Bryce Harper, on the disabled list, the Nationals are starting to pile up the wins.
The Nats will go for a two-game sweep over the Astros on Wednesday at Minute Maid Park, when they send right-hander Jordan Zimmermann to the mound. Washington has won three of four games, and five of seven, heading into the finale of the brief Interleague series.
"We're pretty banged up right now, so we have to pick up for the guys not on the club right now, and it's a process," Nationals manager Matt Williams said. "We're getting there."
Zimmermann has been the hard-luck loser his last two times out, with Washington dropping a pair of 4-3 games despite Zimmermann allowing just four earned runs in 13 combined innings during those defeats. He's pitched one road game so far this season, winning with seven innings of two-run work against the Marlins in Miami.
"Jordan just needs to keep pitching hard for us out there," Williams said.
Astros starter Brett Oberholtzer, the second-year lefty, is coming off the worst outing of his career. He gave up eight hits and six runs in 3 2/3 innings Thursday against Oakland. It marked the first time in his 15-start career he hadn't made it to at least the fifth inning.
"He didn't have his best stuff, didn't look like he had the arm speed we were accustomed to seeing," manager Bo Porter said. "I know he's anxious to get back on the mound. It's always tough for the starters. If position players go 0-for-4, they can come back tomorrow and have an opportunity to do something about it, erase that feeling. For a starting pitcher, they've got to sit on it. I know Obie is looking forward to his start, and getting back to form out there."
Oberholtzer, despite generally pitching well, has lost his last eight decisions. Since joining Houston's rotation on July 31, 2013, he's posted a 2.05 ERA in 15 starts, which ranks ninth in the American League over that time (85 starts).
Astros: Castro, Fowler heating up
Astros catcher Jason Castro, who represented the club last season in the All-Star Game, enters Wednesday on a six-game hitting streak, during which he's hitting .318 with one homer and six RBIs. He's also drawn three walks to raise his on-base percentage to .340.
Castro was hitting .193 with a .309 on-base percentage in his first 16 games this season, so the left-handed-hitting backstop is rounding into the form that made him the team's Most Valuable Player a year ago.
Meanwhile, Dexter Fowler is riding a team-high nine-game hitting streak after recording a second-inning RBI single on Tuesday. He's 10-for-32 during his hitting streak after going 11-for-56 during the first 14 games in which he played.
Nationals: Mattheus happy to be back with Washington
Right-hander Ryan Mattheus, who was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse after right-hander Taylor Jordan was optioned out, didn't expect to be back with the Nationals so soon. The righty got the call back up sooner than expected due to Jordan's inconsistency, and the club's preference for more relief pitchers, given Washington's relative plethora of off-days and the fatigued bullpen.
"Yeah, it did [surprise me]," Mattheus said. "It caught me off-guard. You try not to predict when the call's coming, because it's just counterproductive for your performance."
Mattheus said he was initially frustrated at spending time in Syracuse after missing most of Spring Training with chest inflammation. Though the results don't indicate he was a lock-down pitcher there, he said the time in the Minors was necessary.
"Spring Training was tough, so it probably was the best thing for me to go [to Syracuse]," he said. "At the time, I didn't really embrace it, but I needed the workload. Everybody else broke camp with 12, 13, 14 appearances. I needed to build back up."
Worth noting
• Nats first baseman Adam LaRoche has set a career high with 29 hits in April. He has hit safely in 11 of his last 12 games, and 21 of 25 overall this year.
• Nats closer Rafael Soriano has successfully converted his last 17 save opportunities, and has retired 20 of the last 25 batters he's faced, covering his last five outings.
• Astros starting pitchers have allowed three earned runs or fewer in nine of their last 10 games, while posting a 3.32 ERA and 57 strikeouts in 59 2/3 innings.
