will 2013 focus alloys fit on 2006 mk 2
Foci_st3 replied to Tzsteve's topic in Ford Focus ClubI think only the mk3 needed a limiter on the steering lock, I've not heard of anyone with issues on the mk2.
Foci_st3 started following Most Cost Effective Performance Boost 1.6 Ecoboost, will 2013 focus alloys fit on 2006 mk 2, Wheel alignment in Cambridge area and and 6 others
I wouldn't pay any more than £80 for a front and rear toe adjustment which is all that is available on the focus.

Foci_st3 replied to ZetecShearer1987's topic in Ford Focus ClubMy titanium X was built August 31st 2012 and it doesn't have sync, I placed the build order end of June 2012.
Exhaust Manifold 1.6 With Or With Obd
Foci_st3 replied to andrewblueboy's topic in Ford Focus ClubLook on pumaspeeds web site, I'm sure the 4-2-1 manifold down pipe was the most popular. My 2003 focus had a 4-1 manifold bought from the states and a custom made decat pipe so I could change it over for the MOT. I also ran the o2 cheater device all the time to stop the management light coming on.
Focus St-3 Mk2 Recaro Seat Rocking/broken
Foci_st3 replied to Kazzz's topic in Ford Focus ClubYou can buy the replaced part from ford for about £20, it was a TSB for the st on vehicle built up to late 2007. I had to do both seats on my old st, my local dealer didn't really want to do it and once I found out how cheap the part was it was easier and less stress to do it my self. The seat is fairly simple as long as you remember how the mechanism comes apart.
Focus Mk3 Dash Cam / Cigarette Lighter Question
Foci_st3 replied to DanTheManST's topic in Ford Focus ClubEasy, buy an add a fuse off eBay, 12v Socket, 7.5 fuse for the extra 12v socket. Plug the add a fuse into port f86. Cable tie underneath to existing wiring harnesses. Then just run your dash cam wire from the mirror to the left A pillar behind the trim and down behind the door rubber to under the glove box.
What Dash Cam.
Foci_st3 replied to blue flash's topic in Dash Cam VideosI got a transcend drivepro 200. Seems to work well so far but I'm yet to capture any dodgy driving by people. It has wifi mode so I can view footage on my phone through an app. I would have bought the drivepro 220 but I didn't have a choice on this one as it was a present. It works on full hd and the exposure can be adjusted to help with getting a clear image. The only thing I've noticed is the front widescreen heater wires shimmering in the light.
Most Cost Effective Performance Boost 1.6 Ecoboost
Foci_st3 replied to ZetecShearer1987's topic in Ford Focus ClubNope no plans for exhausts on the 1.6 focus, I spoke with piper at ford fair in 2012 before I got my focus to arrange them using it to develope but nothing came from it, all you can do is get a custome built systems which would prob set you back £400 just cat back. On mountune the focus st sports cat is about £450
Focus Zetec S Body Kit - How
Foci_st3 replied to Stano's topic in Ford Focus ClubNew car part accessories can be expensive, I think ford wanted to charge about £2500 plus painting to add the zetec s kit through the dealer, I done mine earlier this year and done front skirt side skirt and rear skirt bought from a dealer then painted at local body shop for about £1100. The prices on European parts are close to dealer prices. Like you found out with different bumper options u will need to get the right one, I waited a year and half before ford released the triangular front zetec s grill with parking sensors.
Most Cost Effective Performance Boost 1.6 Ecoboost
Foci_st3 replied to ZetecShearer1987's topic in Ford Focus ClubThe mountune gives you an inter cooler and the map is different which focus's more on torque than bhp and also keeps the original ford warranty. That's why it's more expensive, there are owners that have the bluefin so I suppose they will come forward and comment in time. You could do a turbo back system with sports cat, after doing my oil change myself I noticed that where the cat links the turbo they have open bolt slots so they won't rust and sieze like older cars so should be easy job but won't be cheap.

No Rear End Grip On Tyres In The Wet. Dangerous!
Foci_st3 replied to ZetecShearer1987's topic in Ford Focus ClubGuys be aware that the figures your looking at are only a very small insight to the complete testing tyres go through and all the gradings are done by the manufacturer. I've run continental, Dunlop and hankook on my old focus st and now with my current titanium X I've run continental and Michelin with both giving fantastic grip but the Michelin currently giving a better mileage return. Depending on what you want to pay for and whether grip or mileage is a factor, with my experience in the trade I would say grip would be 1.pirelli 2.goodyear 3.conti/mich 4.dunlop and mileage 1.mich 2.dunlop 3.conti/Goodyear 4.pirelli. Can't comment on Bridgestone as don't have many customers running them on mid to high performance cars. Some of the cheaper brands work well on different cars with different driving styles, I ran a pair of 13 inch budget Mohawks on a 1.2 fiesta for 13000 hard miles and when I sold the car they still had life on them so perhaps would of done 15k+, and one of my customers has an old Honda Civic running 14 inch Mohawks and he's had 30k out of the fronts. When it comes to grip you have to understand that they are cheaper for a reason so you can't expect an autogrip budget to work as well as a premium brand. I hope this helps anyone and that your local tyre dealers can give you enough advice to get you the tyre you need for your personal driving style and usage.

First Impressions And Mods - Focus Mk3 Zetec S 1.6 Ecoboost 180
Foci_st3 replied to trevken's topic in Ford Focus ClubI bought mine brand new 3 years ago, had a st225 mountuned to 279 but after having to commute further I needed something that would do more than 27mpg on a good day, so the 182 titanium x was the compromise and the kit was put on in July this year to freshen up the look. Seen a nice steering wheel I want but it's like £470 at the moe and I can't spend money on my this car like I did my focus MP3 mondeo st200 and the focus st225

Canyonlands Panoramic Picture Framed
$ 99.00
$ 119.00
This panoramic photograph of Canyonlands National Park was taken by James Blakeway. It features a view of Canyonlands as seen looking through Mesa Arch. Authorized as a national park in 1964, the park contains a maze of deep canyons, mesas, spires, arches, and other geological features carved by wind and water. The air quality in this area is reputed as some of the clearest in the country. The snow-capped La Sal Mountains, visible through Mesa Arch, is approximately thirty-five miles in the distance. To a large degree, Canyonlands remains untrammeled. Its roads are mostly unpaved, its trails primitive, its rivers free-flowing. This is wild America.

Although counting iPhones isn't my particular cup of tea, a number of analysts and Apple sites have been trying to account for all of the iPhones Apple has sold worldwide. Originally, analysts believed that the discrepancy was because of stores having an excess inventory of iPhones. The current thinking, however, is that many iPhones are being unlocked, and AppleInsider is reporting that one analyst from RBC Capital has suggested that up to 40 percent of European iPhones are being unlocked.
Analyst Mike Abramsky's latest report is better news for Apple, since it means the phones are at least being sold (although Apple is losing out on revenue from carriers). The percentage of European iPhones being unlocked is estimated to be between 35 and 40 percent, while the US range is listed as 23 to 27 percent.That makes the worldwide unlock percentage between 25 and 30 percent, which is similar to the unlock percentage RIM calculated for the BlackBerry Pearl.
News like this should help investors be a bit more confident about Apple, a theme that Abramsky touches on in his research report. iPhone demand worldwide is expected to remain strong, and other Apple products are apparently "recession resistant." That may or may not be true, but at least the overall picture of iPhone sales is looking pretty good.

Survival statistics for acute myelogenous leukemia
Survival statistics for acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) are very general estimates and must be interpreted very carefully. Because these statistics are based on the experience of groups of people, they cannot be used to predict a particular person's chances of survival.
There are many different ways to measure and report cancer survival statistics. Your doctor can explain the statistics for AML and what they mean to you.
Overall survival for AML
People with AML must be treated. Without treatment, survival is usually measured in days to weeks.
With current treatment regimens, 65%–70% of people with AML reach a complete remission (which means that leukemia cells cannot be seen in the bone marrow) after induction therapy. People over the age of 60 usually have a lower response rate. About 25%–40% of people over the age of 60 are expected to survive 3 years or more.
If an allogeneic stem cell transplant is done during first remission, the 5-year disease-free survival rate is 30%–50%. If there has been no recurrence at 2 years after the stem cell transplant, the person has about an 80% chance of staying in complete remission for a long period of time.
People who had intensive consolidation therapy and those who had an allogeneic stem cell transplant have similar survival rates. The survival rates are slightly lower for people who have an autologous stem cell transplant.
Survival for acute promyelocytic leukemia
The treatments offered and survival statistics for acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) are different than for other types of AML. After reaching a complete remission, about 70%–90% of people with APL have long-term survival, and doctors consider them to be cured.
Questions about survival
If you have AML, talk to your doctor about your prognosis. Prognosis depends on many factors, including:
- your medical history
- type of cancer
- stage
- characteristics of the cancer
- treatments chosen
- response to treatment
Only a doctor familiar with these factors can put all of this information together with survival statistics to arrive at a prognosis.
Great progress has been made
Some cancers, such as thyroid and testicular, have survival rates of over 90%. Other cancers, such as pancreatic, brain and esophageal, continue to have very low survival rates.

The podium was Maxxis territory at the first round of the GNCC motorcycle season, held March 12 in River Ranch, Florida. Josh Strang was third in XC1 Pro, while FAR Husqvarna's Andrew Delong won the XC2 Pro Lites race and nabbed fifth place overall. Jason Thomas was second in XC2 Pro Lites and took sixth place overall.
After a strong start, Strang was among the front four riders for much of the race, and surged in the latter half to take his spot on the podium. Maxxcross SI tires proved to be solid performers for Strang as he began the season. "I ran the SI in the sand this weekend, and I'll probably run that most of the year. It works best for me in all conditions," he said. "I got off to a good start, and the tires got me through the deep sand and held up really good. We'll have a fresh set mounted up for the Maxxis General and we'll tear it up again!" The Maxxis General is the second round of the GNCC motorcycle series, scheduled for March 16-17 in Washington, Georgia.
Delong was also pleased with his finish, the result of much preparation pre-season. "I have been busting my butt training," he said. "I was not worried about getting tired today! I just followed them after I caught up from my crash in turn two. We all worked hard and it paid off!"
In other good news for Maxxis, rider Chris Bach was sixth in XC1 Pro and ninth overall, FAR Husqvarna's Craig Delong won the 4- stroke A Lites class, Kacy Martinez took second place in the Women's class in the morning race, and Jimmy Jarrett won Sportsman A and the overall for the morning.
Maxxis congratulates all its riders on their fine performances and looks forward to the Maxxis General.

It�s football season in Craven County and a politician in the 2013 N.C. General Assembly could expect to take some hits tackling teachers� questions.
It�s football season in Craven County and a politician in the 2013 N.C. General Assembly could expect to take some hits tackling teachers� questions.
Rep. Michael Speciale, R-Craven, and Sen. Norman Sanderson, R-Pamlico, did just that, and drew laughter more than once as they interacted with more than 75 teachers at a gathering Speciale called for at New Bern-Craven County Public Library on Monday night.
The group applauded them for coming as the nearly two-hour session closed. but between kickoff and the two minute warning, the teachers hit them with question after question about changes made by legislation both of them supported that teachers said will make teaching harder and shows disrespect for them and their profession.
They questioned legislation affecting class size, cutting teacher aides while instituting stronger reading requirements and adding cursive writing, and vouchers, eliminating tenure, ending master�s degree pay incentives, a vague merit pay plan and a host of other changes they said are demoralizing.
Opening the session, which also included a small group of his supporters, a Craven County Board of Education member and an administration staffer, Speciale said, �This is what all of this is about right here,� as he put his hands on the shoulders of one of his seven grandchildren.
�My purpose for being here is to answer your questions,� said Speciale, but �I don�t want to get into a debate. This is about our trying to hold ourselves accountable.�
�There were close to 2,000 bills presented this year and I don�t know everything about all of them,� Speciale said. �If you ask about one I don�t know, I will get back to you and answer your questions.�
Sanderson said, �Everybody cries with loud voices as we go to Raleigh� but we cannot spend more than is taken in. �Our goal is to have the best education program in the U.S.,� but it won�t happen overnight.
Special said he continues to hear that this legislature cut education funding by a half billion dollars but it actually spent $400,000 more when school personnel consider that previous allocations came with the expectation that 40 cents on the dollar be returned to the state.
He said this legislature also gave local education authorities, like Craven County Board of Education members, more authority in how to spend that money so if there are teacher aide cuts, it was because they chose to spend the money elsewhere.
One second grade teacher said this is the first time she had no teacher aide help and the change comes when more reading results will be expected before students can pass the third-grade gateway. She asked if the new requirements were even part of the discussion when making the changes.
Speciale said they were and said he plans to sit down with the Craven County Schools superintendent Oct. 5 to get more answers himself.
Speciale sat on the committee for education funding but said he was still learning.
One teacher asked why, if there were no cuts, was the state�s school funding position is dipping to 47th or 48th in the nation.
Sanderson said the near bottom ranking comes only if you look at total school funding. If you look at state funding alone, North Carolina is 28th.
�Most states fund 45 percent state, 45 percent county and 10 percent federal,� he said.
North Carolina contributes 65 percent school funding, with 25 percent from counties and 10 percent from the federal government, he said.
Teachers said collaborative efforts to educate children are the underpinning of teaching here and a merit pay plan that would make pay competitive would be counterproductive.
Asked about eliminating the $3,500 annual stipend for a teacher getting a master�s degree, Speciale said he had been shown studies that masters� degrees and class size had little to do with teaching success.
That first got laughter, requests to see the studies, testimonials about how much both matter, and the comment from one teacher that she had spent her own time and $40,000 in tuition from her own money and will miss the cutoff for any payback by two weeks.
Speciale said he had been told that the average teacher makes $54,000, which also brought laughter and a comment from one teacher that she has been a teacher for 27 years and doesn�t make $54,000.
One young male teacher with five year�s teaching experience after getting a master�s degree said that money aside, without it, �I would not have been as prepared.�
One first year teacher, a New Bern native who started his career in law enforcement, said he �saw a lot of kids come through� that made him think he could make a difference if he returned to school to get a teaching degree and certification and came home to teach.
He did and �the county has been awesome but what was done in Raleigh this year breaks my heart.�
After one high school teacher said she has at least 37 students in each of three classes, Speciale said the numbers he was shown give an average of 29 per class in grades 10 to 12.
One teacher said ending teacher tenure ends their right to due process in job termination.
Speciale said they should let the �teacher�s union� work on that problem, which brought another large reaction saying the North Carolina Association of Educators (NCAE) is not a union; teachers� unions are not legal in North Carolina.
Another teacher said she sees the state attempting to attract business but one of the first things good companies consider before putting down roots is the schools.
�What you have done to education will take generations to overcome,� she said.
Both Sanderson and Speciale said they did not see that to be the case but, asked if they would reconsider their positions if shown evidence it was in error, Speciale said, �I�m still doing research. I don�t want the conversation to end here.�

Google gets happy-clappy with file transfer in talk widgets
Chat fat clients
Google has finally slotted peer-to-peer file transfers into its iGoogle and Orkut talk widgets.
Mountain View said it planned to - eventually - bring the long-awaited feature to Gmail too.
The file transfer addition means that users chatting in iGoogle and Orkut will no longer have to switch to email to send the file as an attachment.
"File transfer works directly in the browser so you don't need to install anything. Just start a conversation with a friend and click 'Send a file...' in the 'Actions' menu. After you select a file, your friend will be asked if they want to accept the transfer," said Google software engineer Bruce Leban in a blog post yesterday.
Google's decision to bolt file transfer on to its Talk widgets will be welcomed by many frustrated with Gmail's current attachment limit, which forces anyone wanting to send huge files to use a separate file-sharing service.
The ad broker did not reveal when Gmail will come loaded with the feature, however. ®
Correction: This story originally got its FTP knickers in a twist and wrongly linked protocol RFC959 used in Google's Blogger with the file transfer system it uses for the chat clients. That connection has now been removed from the story.

In my first post about the decision of William & Mary's president to remove the cross from the Wren Chapel, I argued that, though President Nichol claimed he was acting to protect the sensibilities of non-Christians on campus, his decision more likely was driven by his own sensibilities. I pointed out that Nichol had made the decision without any apparent attempt to determine campus sentiment, and that his wife had attempted, as counsel for the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill, to force religious groups to admit and empower individuals hostile to their religion.
Last night, as a further indication of his bad faith, I noted that while Nichol claims that his decision was based on the special role of the Wren Chapel in the life of William & Mary and by specific complaints unique to the cross, he has now created a panel through which he apparently intends to conjure up new sources of religious offense to "others." One candidate is probably the Chapel itself.
Now, Cesar Conda and Vince Haley, writing in the Weekly Standard, have presented the best evidence yet that Nichol's removal of the cross was a "top-down" a priori decision, not a response to sentiment on the ground. Conda and Haley note that the language Nichol says is coming from community members — e.g., the cross "sends a message that the Chapel belongs more fully to some of us than to others" and that that the college has "insiders and outsiders" — is the same language ACLU staff attorneys use in letters and lawsuits when they attempt to remove religious symbols from the public landscape. They cite chapter and verse from ACLU submissions around the country.
Moreover, Nichol himself was an ACLU chapter president in North Florida, and then a member of the ACLU state boards in North Carolina and Colorado. Thus, if there are "others" who are animating Nichol, they would seem to consist of ACLU attorneys, not members of the William & Mary community.
As Conda and Haley note,
Normally, when the ACLU seeks to remove religious symbols, it must either file, or threaten to file, a lawsuit. But if a leader of a public institutions shares the ACLU world view, one can dispense with the bothersome exercises of litigation and persuasion. Instead, they can achieve their ends by administrative fiat.
That's why the William & Mary Board of Regents needs to take a hard look at Nichol's decision and, if it doesn't, Governor Tim Kaine should.
JOHN adds: Long-time readers know that this is an ecumenical site. I'm the only Christian in the group; Paul and Scott are Jews. I always appreciate the fact that Paul and Scott are among the most effective and vigorous advocates for common-sense tolerance of expressions of Christian faith. It is, I hope, a two-way street.
PAUL responds: Hey, some of my best friends are Christian. More to the point, the Christians in America, inspired by their faith, built the greatest country ever and welcomed Jews (and others) to the enterprise. I hate it when we pay them back by impinging on their Christmas celebrations.

Toews, Crosby set to meet as rivals for first timeby Corey Masisak / Chicago Blackhawks
CHICAGO -- Jonathan Toews remembers watching Sidney Crosby lift the Stanley Cup in 2009 and imagining himself in a similar position.
Toews matched Crosby's feat a year later and climbed to the top of the NHL mountain a second time in 2013. He and Crosby have been two of the premier players in the League for years. They're considered two of the best captains in the NHL, and have been collecting individual and team honors at various levels of hockey for the past decade.
One thing Crosby and Toews have not done is play against each other. That will change Saturday when the Pittsburgh Penguins and Chicago Blackhawks meet at Soldier Field in a primetime Coors Light 2014 NHL Stadium Series matchup.
"It's kind of weird that it's taken this long," Crosby said. "I think I've been hurt for a few games, but I think just knowing that either we're going to go head-to-head or if not, I think he's a guy who's pretty competitive. That whole group of guys that I've played with for the last few weeks are pretty competitive guys and have a lot of pride, so I'm sure they'll be up for this one.
"But yeah, going head-to-head against [Toews], I'm sure it'll be a good challenge."
These franchises have met four times since Toews joined the Blackhawks at the start of the 2007-08 season, but Crosby has been unavailable each time. He missed games against Chicago on Feb. 27, 2009, and Dec. 5, 2009, because of separate groin injuries. He missed games against the Blackhawks on Feb. 20, 2011, and Dec. 20, 2011, because of lengthy absences stemming from post-concussion symptom.
The first meeting of Crosby and Toews, two of the League's marquee stars, would be noteworthy at any point on the calendar. It carries extra significance because of the setting of this game at the home of the Chicago Bears and because of the stage they just shared six days ago.
Toews had the opening goal and Crosby followed with the second in a 3-0 victory for Canada against Sweden in the gold medal game of the 2014 Sochi Olympics. Crosby centered the top line for a dominant Canadian club, and Toews was in the middle of the second line.
"We don't see Pittsburgh too often to begin with, but I think it is always fun to play against the top guys in the League and he is pretty much that guy," Toews said. "It will be interesting to see how we match up."
Crosby and Toews are just one of several interesting storylines for a game featuring two of the top franchises in the NHL. Chicago and Pittsburgh share similar recent history; each has climbed from the depths of the League standings to become a consistent resident in the Stanley Cup contenders club.
Crosby and Evgeni Malkin led the Penguins to back-to-back Stanley Cup Final appearances in 2008 and 2009. Toews and Patrick Kane led the revival in Chicago, and the Blackhawks won the Cup in 2010 and 2013.
The teams are among the top Cup contenders again in 2013-14.
"They've had a great year and they have some firepower over there," Kane said. "We feel the same way about our team. I think that's a great matchup to have for this kind of game. It is two teams that a lot of fans want to watch on TV and when you mix in the Stadium Series type of game like this, it makes it even more entertaining."
The fact that the Penguins and Blackhawks haven't faced each other in more than two years adds a little extra spice.
"You might have three opponents like this for our team. You're playing a Western Conference team and we don't play them very often," Penguins coach Dan Bylsma said. "They are Stanley Cup champs and again, one of the best teams, best records in the League. I think when the schedule comes out and before you know this is going to be an outdoor game, you know you're facing the Blackhawks first and foremost. You circle that as a big date, a big game on your calendar."
While Crosby and Toews experienced Olympic triumph, Kane and Malkin came back from Sochi with similarly frustrating stories to tell. Each struggled to produce at the expected levels, and neither came back with a medal.
Bylsma coached Kane with the United States team in Sochi, and had a chance to see more of one of the League's most talented players in person.
"You see it live, and he's a head-shaker," Bylsma said. "Some of the stuff that he does, bringing the puck up on our power play and distributing the puck, I had seen it and watched it, but he's just got some nasty skill with the puck. I call it 'head-shaker' because he makes a play and pulls up and floats a pass right onto someone's tape and you have three or four guys on the bench just shaking their heads at how good he is with the puck."
This game will not only be a matchup of two of the NHL's top clubs, but also a celebration of how the Blackhawks and Penguins have become two of the top hockey markets in the United States. They were at the bottom of the heap a decade ago; now they are in the midst of lengthy sellout streaks, consistently deliver strong television ratings and are among the NHL's go-to teams for events such as this one.
"Chicago is a team that everyone likes to watch on TV," Pittsburgh defenseman Brooks Orpik said. "The way they play, I know the guys in our room has a lot of respect for the guys on their team and the way their team plays. I think it is a more of a measuring stick to see where you are at. It is a good challenge for our team."
Kane said, "I like watching Crosby and Malkin, just kind of to see how they're playing and see if I can pick up anything or what they're doing on the ice. They are, it seems like, a well-coached team that plays hard. The bottom two lines are tough to play against, and it seems like they follow a team-oriented structure that works for them. They've been a good team for a long time, and you can see why."

London Underground commuters would interact using mobile phones and station-side wireless hubs under a project aiming to turn the tube transport system into a city-wide song-swapping network.
Undersound hopes to let travellers with mobile handsets upload and download tunes to and from platform transfer points using Bluetooth, in an effort to map the hidden flow of music through the capital. The website says:
"Each track in the Undersound system will be tagged with its place of origin and this information is visible as the track is being played.
"While in the carriages of the tube, I can browse undersound music of other people in range. Because the system will be gathering metadata on the stations where the track has been has been played."
In transit between stations, commuters would be able to browse and download tunes stored on each other's phones using a special client application.
The project is the brainchild of three female digital media artists keen to use new technologies to explore how consumers relate to cultural messages that can be wirelessly exchanged.
Arianna Bassoli, Johanna Brewer and Karen Martin have previously developed software that lets passers-by see what each other is listening to on their wireless handheld computers.
"We are on our way towards completing the demo," Ms Brewer told us. "Right now we are in the implementation phase of the project, and so it is not up and running – yet.
"Undersound is being implemented in part by the EU funded project Bionets, of which both Nokia and Sun are participants. We are still working on getting permission from the Transport For London to install our system,"
Microsoft's forthcoming Zune music player will similarly offer listeners the ability to wirelessly swap tunes – a development Apple boss Steve Jobs dismissed last week.

Joel Surnow began writing "Small Time," a sweetly nostalgic comedy-drama about a divorced used-car salesman and his teenage son, in 1976 when he was 21.
A recent graduate of UCLA film school, Surnow worked during the day that summer at the snack bar of the L.A. Country Club and wrote "Small Time" at night with his college friend, Randy Wallace.
Though they completed the script, tragedy struck when Wallace, who had a congenital heart defect, died that year during surgery.
Surnow went on to a stellar career as a TV producer and writer, working on such shows as "Miami Vice," "La Femme Nikita," The Commish" and most...

Syndication FormatOctober 09, 2003
I realize I'm opening up a can of worms here, but I honestly want a solid answer. I'm hoping everyone can put aside their differences and help constructively. Flames and off-topic comments will be deleted liberally. Consider this a social experiment. I can't believe I have to write all this.
The issue: due to various constraints which I will not discuss, if I had to choose just one syndication format to publish with today, which should I choose? Consider aggregator support, ease of human readibility, and ease of implementation. I want Really Simple Syndication, not Rich Site Summary.
Choices are RSS 0.91, 1.0, and 2.0. Discuss.
Reader Comments
Why do you have to choose? Aren't these all XML-based formats? Just use XSL to make all three from a common document (or one of the three if it has all the data the other two need).
I'd say either 1.0 or 2.0, and flip a coin to pick. It looks to me like both of those specs have (a) possibilities for expansion, (b) reader support, and (c) forward motion in terms of "community" support.
(Personally, I find the differences both confusing and arcane, and while I totally grok the social issues, I can't help by being annoyed by them.)
As for ease of implementation…I've always used built-in tools to generate RSS, so I can't speak to that. Although I am getting ready to write some XSLT to generate RSS out of an XML data source, so I might have more to say in a week or two!
Is this something where you'll have to either hand-generate, or write a script to generate, the feed?
Sorry, I've had a few beers and I didn't reread my post. Maybe you don't know XSL (I don't blame you, it can be very frustrating), so let me rephrase:
Why do you have to choose? Aren't these all XML-based formats? Just ask a benevolent soul to write XSL that can make all three from a common document (or one of the three if it has all the data the other two need).
[deleted - DS]
I can't see that you could make a case for 1.0 with those conditions. It's got other benefits, and I find its specification easier to follow, but it's not easy for humans to read (mainly thanks to namespaces and rdf:about attributes).
I would go for 0.91. Unless you need extensions or the extra RSS 2.0 elements–and as you want it to be 'really simple,' I'm guessing you don't–there's no reason not to. Of course, valid 0.91 is also valid 2.0, so it's easy to 'upgrade' if you need to.
Elaine - a script will probably be written, but it will have to be written by hand. Chicken and egg, so to speak. I believe the current setup generates 0.91.
Eric - XSL is probably something to look into for the future, but I'm thinking more quick and dirty here.
Sean - more or less where my thoughts lay right now. 0.91 is pretty universal, right?
RSS 2.0. It's pretty lightweight but makes more bells and whistles available than 0.91.
Until Atom is finalized, of course.
Another vote for RSS 2.0. RSS 2.0 is backwards-compatible with RSS 0.91, so readers that understand 2.0 get the bells and whistles, while readers that only understand 0.91 should simply ignore them.
If I don't need bells & whistles? Will 0.91 suffice? Or put differently, is there any valid reason not to use it right now?
As far as I can tell it's not officially deprecated, probably because it's still very useful.
rss 2.0. strikes the best balance between forward thinking and backwards compatibility, imo.
I personally like RSS2.0 but respect RSS1.0 because its RDF. But as someone already mentioned it doesnt really matter because one xsl can transform one into another and back again.
Yep, RSS 1.0 is my choice… The more semantic meaning the better. It would be trivial to add more meta to rdf.
"Why do you have to choose? Aren't these all XML-based formats? Just use XSL to make all three from a common document (or one of the three if it has all the data the other two need)"
to extend this idea further…isn't XHTML an XML-based format ? Just use XSLT to generate the XHTML from the RSS, or the RSS 1.0 and the XHTML from an RSS 2.0 file, or…etc etc. heck, you can even give users the choice of what they want, and generate it on the fly…
XSLT is indeed your friend, and now that you're using PHP it's actually straightforward enough to use http://uk.php.net/manual/en/ref.xslt.php
'Ease of implementation' is a big reason against XSLT. Learning curves do not a quick setup make. That it's for this server, implemented by me, is also a wrong assumption in this case.
I want to abstract this as far as I can and make a decision without a specific implementation path. I just need an answer. Right now I'm leaning toward 0.91 since I don't think it will require any change, and it seems that it's still a good (or at least, valid) choice.
[deleted - DS]
I too will say RSS 2.0, it's pretty simple if you avoid unneccessary extensions. If you're comfortable writing valid HTML by hand, you should have no problem grokking RSS 2.0.
While various content producers may be extremely partisan, every consumer I know of is totally agnostic. IMHO, the thing you should worry most about is using the elements correctly.
<quote>'Ease of implementation' is a big reason against XSLT. Learning curves do not a quick setup make. That it's for this server, implemented by me, is also a wrong assumption in this case.</quote>
Assuming you don't know XSLT…. XSLT is so _easy_ to learn!!!!! Pick up "XSLT Cookbook" to get a feel, pick up "XSLT" to learn it, then pick "XSLT Cookbook" back up to understand it (all books from O'Reilly)! With the help of (the free) XSLT Quick Reference from mulberrytech.com, I was making nice, quality stylesheets in less than a week. Someone as smart as you, Dave, should be able to pick it up in a day or less.
I don't know PHP, but I hear its easy to use XSLT with it.
Thanks Sam, glad to have your answer. That clinches it for me. 0.91 it is.

The problem
Suppose you have a machine with 8 cores. Also suppose you have the following source packages that you want to compile from scratch.
eog_3.8.2.orig.tar.xz grilo_0.2.6.orig.tar.xz libxml++2.6_2.36.0.orig.tar.xz Python-3.3.2.tar.bz2 glib-2.36.4.tar.xz libjpeg-turbo_1.3.0.orig.tar.gz wget_1.14.orig.tar.gz grail-3.1.0.tar.bz2 libsoup2.4_2.42.2.orig.tar.xz
You want to achieve this as fast as possible. How would you do it?
Think carefully before proceeding.
The solution
Most of you probably came up with the basic idea of compiling one after the other with 'make -j 8' or equivalent. There are several reasons to do this, the main one being that this saturates the CPU.
The other choice would be to start the compilation on all subdirs at the same time but with 'make -j 1'. You could also run two parallel build jobs with '-j 4' or four with '-j 2'.
But surely that would be pointless. Doing one thing at the time maximises data locality so the different build trees don't have to compete with each other for cache.
Well, let's measure what actually happens.
The first bar shows the time when running with '-j 8'. It is slower than all other combinations. In fact it is over 40% (one minute) slower than the fastest one, although all alternatives are roughly as fast.
Why is this?
In addition to compilation and linking processes, there are parts in the build that can not be parallelised. There are two main things in this case. Can you guess what they are?
What all of these projects had in common is that they are built with Autotools. The configure step takes a very long time and can't be parallelised with -j. When building consecutively, even with perfect parallelisation, the build time can never drop below the sum of configure script run times. This is easily half a minute each on any non-trivial project even on the fastest i7 machine that money can buy.
The second thing is time that is lost inside Make. Its data model makes it very hard to optimize. See all the gory details here.
The end result of all this is a hidden productivity sink, a minute lost here, one there and a third one over there. Sneakily. In secret. In a way people have come to expect.
These are the worst kinds of productivity losses because people honestly believe that this is just the way things are, have always been and shall be evermore. That is what their intuition and experience tells them.
The funny thing about intuition is that it lies to you. Big time. Again and again.
The only way out is measurements.

Hopefully soon I'll get time to put some pics in here!
I've been using these Halloween "light wands," sold under various names, for night-flying kites for awhile now. They are BIG, lightweight and put on a great show. They have different settings, allowing you to change colors.In the past week, I have seen them for sale in RiteAid drug stores, they generally have one display case of 6 or 8 pieces, for something over $2.00 each.I have rarely seen them for other holidays, and rumor has they are sold for raves, with no shrink wrap on them. It looks like some of the rave ones just have one color, when shopping online watch for that. I have seen some with a red, white and blue LED inside, and some with red,white and green.
Some of the kites I can toss in a bag and bring to an event (up to the baggage allowance!)

WHY AIR DUCT AND DRYER VENT CLEANING IS NECESSARY: Air duct and vent cleaning increases your indoor air quality.
The allergies are more irritative. If there are pets in the house and if there is someone who smokes in the house it becomes more important that you clean the air ducts in your houses regularly.
Dust contains pollutants, viruses, and micro organisms that can stimulate allergies. Also asthma like symptoms can be seen in homes which have polluted air running through there air ducts.

Sept. 14, 2000
SEATTLE, Wash. -
Junior defender Jeff Stewart (Bellevue, Wash.) made the most of his first non-conference career game as a collegian in his home state in Santa Clara's (3-1) 1-0 win over Oregon State (3-2) in the opening match of the Nike Northwest Soccer Challenge hosted by the University of Washington.
Stewart directed a deflection off an Anthony Chimienti (San Jose, Calif.) corner kick into the goal at the 35:56 mark of the first half for the game-winner. Stewart also led a Bronco defense that prevented Oregon State from connecting any of its 17 shots in the game, including nine in the second half.
Junior goalkeeper Rusty Johnson (O'Fallon, Ill.) recorded his second shutout in three games and grabbed six saves in the game. He has allowed just one goal in three games this season after missing the season-opener due to a deep thigh bruise. Johnson was one of several Broncos who were in familiar territory in Seattle. Four Broncos: Joe and Nick Ascolese (Chattaroy), Phil Johnson (Bellevue) and Stewart (Bellevue) all hail from the state of Washington, while Johnson lived in Chattaroy for a time while a prep.
Santa Clara outshot Oregon State by a narrow 17-15 margin in the match and withstood an eight-shot barrage by the Beavers' Justin Kirk and Jesse Servin. OSU received four yellow cards in the match. Junior Tony Cota (Modesto, Calif.) saw his first action of the season at midfield for the Broncos, who continue to battle several nagging injuries among its starters.
SCU faces Washington, the event host, in a 2:15 p.m. match on Saturday at Husky Soccer Stadium.

Whenever Lipscomb and Belmont meet on the basketball court the outcome is going to hang in the balance until the final buzzer.
Friday night at Belmont's Curb Center the Bisons watched a first half lead disappear on the way to a 74-65 loss in the second round of the "Battle of the Boulevard".
"I told them to keep their heads up," said Lipscomb coach Scott Sanderson. "We have to learn from this. I thought our young kids played well."
The Bisons jumped out to a 7-0 lead with a lay-up by freshman center Adnan Hodzic, a 3-pointer by freshman guard Josh Slater and a jumper from senior forward Eddie Ard.
Belmont did not score its first goal until the 16:08 mark when Justin Hare connected on a 3-pointer.
The Bisons would extend their lead to 19-9 on a lay-up by freshman forward Brandon Brown with 9:54 left in the first half. The Bisons maintained the lead until Alex Renfroe connected on a 3-pointer with 2:41 remaining before intermission.
"We should have been up by more than that," said Sanderson. "We were very good defensively for the first 15 minutes, but we were not very good offensively. You can't be bad offensively for that long a period of time and count on your defense for that long a period of time and think you are going to shut them down. Belmont is too explosive offensively. You are only going to hold them down so long."
Henry Harris gave Belmont a 23-21 lead, their first of the half, on a lay-up with 2:01 on the clock. Belmont extended its lead to 29-24 as Matthew Dotson hit a 3-point with one second to go.
In the second half Belmont led by 10 points, their biggest lead of the game, at 38-28 with 16:50 left to play.
The Bisons responded with a 14-2 run to take a 42-40 lead on a 3-pointer by Slater with 12:15 on the clock.
"We lose focus sometimes," Sanderson said. "We can't turn it on and turn it off defensively. We have to guard for 40 minutes to give ourselves a chance to meet a team like Belmont that is very polished offensively."
From 11:19 to 9:09 the lead shifted six times with the Bisons holding a 50-49 edge on a lay-up by freshman guard Jimmy Oden.
"I thought for the balance of the game Jimmy was really, really good," said Sanderson. "He caused havoc defensively. He got a lot of lay-ups for us. He created baskets for us. Late in the game he had two turnovers that hurt us, but he didn't mean to do it."
The Bisons maintained the lead until 6:09 when Andy Wicke scored on a lay-up for Belmont for a 55-54 advantage.
`We were up one and they beat us to every loose ball," Sanderson said. "You have to finish both halves and in the last five minutes of both halves we didn't play very well."
Belmont would not relinquish the lead the rest of the way. The Bisons cut the lead to 67-63 with a lay-up and free throw by Hodzic at 1:09.
Slater led the Bisons in scoring with a game-high 16 points. Ard scored 14. Hodzic just missed a double-double with 10 points and a game-high nine rebounds.
Hare led Belmont with 14 points. Dotson scored 12, Jordan Campbell added 11 and Renfroe scored 10.
The biggest difference was at the free throw line with Belmont hitting 19-of-29 attempts and the Bisons hitting 5-of-9 tries.
The Bisons finish the season with home games against Gardner-Webb Feb. 28 and Campbell March 1 at Allen Arena. The Bisons then head to the Atlantic Sun Tournament March 5-8 at Lipscomb.
"We have two more games to try to get better and then seven teams come to visit us at Allen Arena," Sanderson said. "We don't leave Allen Arena for the rest of the season."
The Bisons are 13-15 overall, 7-7 in the A-Sun. Belmont is 20-8 overall, 12-2 in the conference.

NEW YORK — Scents often bring on memories and Jason Wu packed a personal one into his first fragrance, that of jasmine. But finding just the right raw ingredients was a process.
The designer told The Associated Press at the Fragrance Foundation Awards, where the packaging for his namesake eau de parfum was nominated, that a niche fragrance like his demands an intimate connection. He smelled a lot of different raw ingredients when he was creating it with senior perfumer Frank Voelkl at Fermenich.
"And there was one smell that was so captivating to me and it turned out it was Jasmine. ... It just kind of brought me back to 5-year-old me in Taiwan picking those flowers with my cousins," Wu said.
With top notes of fig and pink pepper, a woodsy touch at the base and hints of iris, it was the jasmine sambac flower that stood out. Wu created it last year and it launched recently in a bottle reminiscent of a boxy clutch he showed on the runway that fall. The top of the thick glass base is in a circular gold design that looks like the handles of his handbags at that time.
The biggest challenge, he said, was creating something that will endure.
"When we design a fragrance ... it's something that is forever," Wu said. "You have to really commit and you have to really know how to encompass your brand in one little bottle. That means everything from the cap, the bottle, the paper carton, down to the scent."
The liquid inside is a nude pink, a common hue for the designer. The box is a darker shade. And the floral notes in the perfume refer to the many floral prints he almost always includes in runway collections.
"I think that scent can evoke memories like nothing else you know. Like a scent of something can bring you the richest memories back," Wu said.
On Tuesday, however, Carolina Herrera walked away with the fragrance foundation's women's packaging of the year, for Good Girl by the fragrance company Puig.
Wu said he's proud of his first effort.
"It's not something that's put together by committee," he said, "and it's something that has a significant personal meaning to me."
