2. | critical mass | ||
A monthly gathering of people to ride bikes around a city or town. Its general purpose is to raise awareness that people ride bikes for transportation too and roads should be more accomidating for bikes. With many cyclists riding together in a group they are able to reach a "critical mass" and become a powerful entity of the roads, taking up many lanes.
Invented in San Francisco, it is celebrated in many cities across the world due to its simplicity to organize, often all you need to is spread the word about it. In San Francisco and New York participants often number in the thousands. It is usually at the end of the day on the last Friday of every month, at a standard, well-known gathering spot. Often criticized by motorists as a nuciance, though cyclists criticise back that motorists hog the road, pollute, kill, etc. Hey bro, want to see a movie this Friday at 5?
No man, I'm going to the Critical Mass to challenge the social norm of owning a car! Me and a few hundred other bike riders are going to be celebrating peaceful transportation. You should come. Everyone should come! No Critical mass? Start one! |
1. | critical mass | ||
When something reaches the threshold of it's limits. This can apply to things, people, events, or concepts. At the party, John told Sue the room had reached critical mass and asked if she wanted to go outside.
3. | critical mass | ||
A large gathering of mostly douchebag hipsters that ride their bikes around the city on the last Friday of the month. Participants feel that since they ride bicycles, they are somehow superior and permitted to break traffic laws. Did you count the number of hipster douchebags at critical mass? It's over 9000!
4. | Critical Mass | ||
When you are physically incapable of holding in a shit any longer. I was at Home Depot with my girlfriend when suddenly I reached Critical Mass and had to run to the closest toilet to avoid sitting in my pants. Thank god we were in the plumbing isle.
5. | critical mass | ||
pronounced: /KRIT-ik-ul MAS/
1. (noun) In physics, a measurable point at which a reaction becomes self-sustaining or self-increasing without external force 2. (noun) In sex, the moment when an orgasm is inevitable. 3. (noun) An emotional state of a large group of people which reaches a crescendo (such as in an angry mob or in a concert). 4. (noun) In traffic, the state of having too many cars on the road to effectively move. 1. The atom bomb is intentionally pushed beyond the point of critical mass to create an explosion.
2. When I was fucking my ho, I had to pull out before critical mass so she wouldn't get pregnant. 3. We'd better pull out the riot gear -- this crowd is reaching critical mass. 4. The Interstate has reached critical mass, it's bumper-to-bumper out there! |
6. | critical mass | ||
When something reaches the threshold of it's limits. This can apply to things, people, events, or concepts. At the party, John told Sue the room had reached critical mass and asked if she wanted to go outside.
7. | Critical Mass | ||
Another far left wing terminology to support diversity. Another name for a racial quota. "Critical mass" means that it is important for a sufficient number of "minorities" to be enrolled on campus so that they not feel "isolated." When the number of blacks dropped at UC Berkeley following the passage of 209, the opponents of 209 argued that the drop in black enrollment created a "hostile environment" for those enrolled. "Critical mass" theory also means that the remainder of the student body needs to see enough black faces so that they can benefit from "diversity." Don't listen to that hippie fart sniffer, critical mass is just another term for a racial quota.

This page describes the N900 Developer edition release process.
Contents |
We have two OBS projects on the Community OBS:
Currently, each of them builds against MeeGo 1.2 release, via the Project:DE:MeeGo:1.2/standard . The project in MeeGo OBS is MeeGo:1.2:oss which is referred as MeeGo.com:MeeGo:1.2:oss in Community OBS.
The CE development is done against "a moving target" instead of a published release, which is called as 'standard' repository in the Community OBS CE projects. This standard is live link against the MeeGo:1.2:oss project mentioned earlier.
MeeGo.com weekly release comes out on wednesdays. DE weekly release comes out on fridays.
Both sanity & acceptance tests are very brief run-throughs of the functionality of the entire MeeGo distribution, to assure that the basic health of the distribution and report major regressions at the earliest time. All the checkpoints in sanity & acceptance test reflect the most important and basic functionality of the distribution.
We do the sanity test against the Trunk and the acceptance test against Trunk:Testing.
Day | MeeGo.com 1.2 Trunk & Project:DE:Trunk | MeeGo.com 1.2 Trunk & Project:DE:Trunk:Testing | MeeGo.com 1.2 Weekly & Project:DE:Trunk | MeeGo.com 1.2 Weekly & Project:DE:Trunk:Testing |
Monday | sanity | acceptance | ||
Tuesday | sanity | acceptance | ||
Wednesday (Freeze, only fixes to make sure a proper weekly release happens are let in to Trunk) | weekly release track sanity | weekly release track acceptance | ||
Thursday | sanity | acceptance | weekly release track sanity | weekly release track acceptance |
Friday (after weekly release, repository unfreezes) | sanity | acceptance | weekly release track sanity, if OK, DE weekly release |
Weekly release == MeeGo 1.2 Trunk on wednesdays, so no need to have seperate images.
Weekly release acceptance testing needs to happen to make the fixes flow to weekly release fix.
"Normal" Sanity/acceptance serves to help prepare for next weeks changes.
Choose your origin (in the following, ORIGIN) of the package:
osc -A https://api.pub.meego.com branch -cm "To work on MeeGo DE" ORIGIN packagename
This creates home:yourusername:branches:ORIGIN.
Go to https://build.pub.meego.com/home/list_my and find your project.
If there is no repositories listed in Repositories tab, go and click "add repository" and "advanced interface" and choose Project:DE:Trunk:Testing as project, "standard" as repository, new name "standard" and architecturesi armv8el and i586.
.. do your work
NOTE: Remember to add entry to .changes file and describe what your submit fixes. "- Fixes for BMC#1234" isn't enough, but "- photo-index.patch: Fixed segmentation fault when indexing photos (BMC#1234)" would do.
After your work is done, i.e., doing the changes to the package and after you have committed the changes to your branch, it is time to check that everything is like it should be. So, lets verify the diff between your branch and the target. NOTE: If you are submitting new package to Project:DE:Trunk:Testing the diff is most probably empty.
osc -A https://api.pub.meego.com submitreq -dm "." home:yourusername:branches:ORIGIN packagename Project:DE:Trunk:Testing
After you have confirmed that the diff is ok. It is time to submit the changes:
osc -A https://api.pub.meego.com submitreq -m "What you changed" home:yourusername:branches:ORIGIN packagename Project:DE:Trunk:Testing
As a result of this command you will get request id that corresponds the request. You can check your request from the OBS webui https://build.pub.meego.com/request/show/REQUEST_ID
If you'd like to help out with release engineering, poke Stskeeps / Carsten Munk on IRC.
General procedure for reviewing requests towards Project:DE:Trunk:Testing:
osc -A https://api.pub.meego.com linkpac -c MeeGo.com:Trunk <package> Project:DE:Trunk osc -A https://api.pub.meego.com linkpac Project:DE:Trunk <package> Project:DE:Trunk:Testing
Conditions and procedure for accepting a package change into Project:DE:Trunk from Project:DE:Trunk:Testing:
First check that there are not any pending submit requests to Project:DE:Trunk.
osc -A https://api.pub.meego.com request list Project:DE:Trunk <PACKAGE>
Then force the new link
osc -A https://api.pub.meego.com linkpac -c -f MeeGo.com:MeeGo:1.2:oss <PACKAGE> Project:DE:Trunk
Then checkout the copy of the package and update it.
osc -A https://api.pub.meego.com co Project:DE:Trunk <PACKAGE> cd <package_checkout> osc -A https://api.pub.meego.com up
Next we need to apply the diff, which might be possible to do with patch, or just applying manually. Remember to solve the conflicts if you used patch.
patch -p0 < project.diff
Remeber to remove the old diff from the project.
osc rm project.diff
And in the end just submit the changes.
osc ci -m "Rebased link."
Multiple options, we are currently looking at having the images physically built in internal Nokia IMG service and transferred to a public download site.
N900 DE image configurations (kickstart files) are located at https://gitorious.org/meego-developer-edition-for-n900/image-configurations gitorious tree under the kickstarts directory.
From the git tree above the images are created by daily-image-builder, which is available at https://gitorious.org/image-building-tools/daily-image-builder
daily-image-builder script is executed every morning on computer X from where the images are uploaded to http://repository.maemo.org/meego/n900-de/daily/ around UTC 03:00.
The directories in n900-de repository look following 184.108.40.206.20110412.6.DE.2011-04-19.2 where the start is the MeeGo version and the end after DE is the DE build version in following format YYYY-MM-DD.<build_count>
The MeeGo version is taken from http://download.meego.com/trunk-daily/builds/trunk/
Currently we have couple of different images types:
mg-handset-armv7nhl-n900-de-sanity mg-handset-armv7nhl-n900-de-acceptance mg-tablet-armv7nhl-n900-de-acceptance
All the images use MeeGo Trunk (later on MeeGo 1.2) daily repository as a base. So no Trunk:Testing packages are used. This pretty much means that DE images are closest to the MeeGo sanity test report results. In DE case the sanity and acceptance in image name means which DE repository we are using in addition to the MeeGo Trunk, i.e., in sanity images we use Project:DE:Trunk repository and in acceptance Project:DE:Trunk:Testing repository.
Tablet image uses also Project:DE:Devel:Tablet repository for some n900 tablet specific modifications.

Ali White from T W White & Sons, a car dealership business, took to the Corn Exchange seat next at the jam-packed full BrightonSEO conference, providing real-business examples on how phone data meant his entire SEO and PPC strategy altered.
To start us off, Ali walked through what Visitor level call tracking actually was; as one of the many who weren't really sure, he explained that T W White & Sons used visitor level call tracking to provide a unique phone number to each site visitor so the business can better track who is calling to give stronger actual conversion data as well as a better customer profile.

It's easy to lose focus in the senior year of high school; there's a lot of hoopla around grad with talk about limousine rides, fancy dresses and of course a big dance. But Laura MacTaggart, a participant and planner for her school's Grad Service Committee, manages to keep everything in perspective. A senior at Ecole Secondaire Notre Dame High School, MacTaggart is not only ensuring that her graduation year is memorable, she is making sure a fellow classmate who won't be graduating this year, is remembered.
To to honour a classmate who can't be with her to celebrate, MacTaggart, along with other high school students, parents and teachers raised $130,000 for the Red Deer Suicide Prevention and Educational Services. "This is a very important charity to my classmates and I because suicide is a growing concern for people our age," MacTaggart says in her EventIQ scholarship application.
What a great bunch of grads. We are super proud to support students like these by awarding awarding three – $500 scholarships for high school seniors in Canada.
The deadline for scholarship entries is May 15 – winners will be announced in June. More details on the scholarship, as well as the application form itself, are here.

Ulster County officials keeping close eye on Hurricane Sandy (with Central Hudson storm preparation tips)
As Hurricane Sandy beats a path to the East Coast and toward weather patterns that could result in a 1991-like "perfect storm," local emergency officials are using what they learned from last year's Tropical Storm Irene to help them prepare for the worst.
Shandaken Supervisor Rob Stanley, whose western Ulster County town was particularly hard hit by Irene in August 2011, said on Thursday that last year's storm made clear which locations are vulnerable. He noted, in particular, the Oliverea Valley, which he said could flood easily because gravel accumulated in the Esopus Creek and feeder streams during Irene.
He also noted the portal area of Shandaken — where a New York City-owned tunnel transfers water from the Schoharie Reservoir to the Esopus Creek, which then runs into the Ashokan reservoir — has the potential for serious flooding, though that section of terrain was reworked after Irene in an attempt to avoid future crises.
The Mount Tremper Bridge on state Route 28, which was closed due to damage from Irene, is another area of concern, Stanley said.
"If that bridge goes and the portal location is damaged, that could bring catastrophe," he said.
Sandy was a Category 2 hurricane on Thursday as it struck Cuba and headed toward the Bahamas.
Forecasts showed Sandy skirting eastern Florida, turning northeast and then riding up the East Coast before veering inland, probably at tropical storm strength, on Monday or Tuesday. Its landfall point remained uncertain, though, with some models predicting the New York City-New Jersey area and others ranging from Virginia to Cape Cod.
Some weather experts have dubbed the system "Frankenstorm" because of its potentially monstrous size and its expected arrival just before Halloween.
Central Hudson Storm Tips
If the storm does impact the local area, the Belleayre Mountain Ski Center in the Highmount section of Shandaken will be used as an emergency shelter, as it was during Irene. Continued...
Belleayre also served as a Federal Emergency Management Agency information site during Irene.
Phoenicia Elementary School on state Route 214 in Phoenicia, also part of Shandaken, would serve as a shelter as well, Stanley said.
Firehouses also would be used, he said.
Ulster County Executive Mike Hein said on Thursday that it was premature to sound the alarm on Sandy but that county officials were monitoring the storm, hoping for the best and preparing for the worst.
"We are well aware of the possibilities, and preparation is the key," he said.
Hein, like Stanley, said emergency shelters will be available should the need arise.
Hein also said the New York City Department of Environmental Protection has assured him there is an adequate void in the city's Ashokan Reservoir than can handle abundant rain, thus reducing the risk of flooding along the Lower Esopus Creek, which the reservoir feeds.

Spring is coming, spring is coming! The robins and red-winged blackbirds are back. Cardinals are singing their mating songs. It's too early to do anything outside in the garden — or even for starting most things by seed indoors. But this is the time to make decisions, buy seeds if you haven't, and plan.

Les Rencontres d'Arles 2012: A Turning Point ?
The Rencontres d'Arles festival opens today. We will be providing coverage through Sunday. Schools, especially those from Arles, will be featured prominently. A harbinger of change, perhaps? We know that François Hébel has plans to make Arles into a permanent center of photography, modeled after the International Center of Photography in New York. Will this project be compatible with Maya Hoffmann's? Will they be able to find the necessary funding? (We're talking 48 million euros.) Will local dissent undo the whole project? Perhaps by Sunday, we'll have the answer.

When my family and I joined the Elmhurst College community in 2008, we were impressed first by the remarkable beauty of the campus and its ideal location in an attractive suburb of Chicago, one of the world's most exciting cities. We also were immediately struck by the warmth of the people we met—students, faculty, and staff—and by their commitment to this community.
At the heart of the Elmhurst Experience lives a vibrant, student-centered culture. Our faculty and administration are committed to three ideals: providing an outstanding liberal arts education to every undergraduate; challenging each student to think critically and constructively about their beliefs and values; and preparing students from their first day on campus for meaningful, successful lives in a global society. These three ideals—liberal education, self-formation and early professional preparation—serve as the foundation for the entire Elmhurst Experience.
Liberal education. Effective liberal education begins with a great faculty. The Elmhurst faculty are dedicated teachers and scholars who work closely with students as individuals. We encourage the development of strong bonds between faculty and students through intentionally small classes, limited first-year enrollment, and special initiatives such as an intensive orientation program and a series of intimate seminars for first-year students.
Outside the classroom, many of our faculty are recognized leaders in their fields. They contribute to the arts and engage in scholarly work at a level usually associated with major research universities. For many of our students, working alongside a faculty member on a high-level research project is a highlight of the Elmhurst Experience.
Self-formation. Elmhurst students explore the world not simply to understand it, but also to understand and transform themselves; to grow as self-directed, ethical individuals while preparing for professional futures that are consonant with their values and worldviews. Our students are not cogs in a wheel; they are unique agents of their own futures and citizens of a world in which they have a stake and to which they bear a responsibility.
Whether by contributing to the cultural life of Chicago, serving the community or studying across the world, Elmhurst students seek out opportunities to cultivate themselves through intellectual, spiritual and social-justice exploration.
Early professional preparation. We believe that students' ultimate career decisions should be highly informed by real-world experiences. From their first day on campus, we encourage our students to meet with professionals in the private and public sectors and to engage in mentoring, shadowing, internships and other pre-professional activities. We also offer a select number of outstanding graduate programs that complement our undergraduate tracks and position our students for entry or advancement in their chosen professions.
Elmhurst is an increasingly diverse community in which each member is committed to learning from and contributing to the self-formation and professional preparation of the others. Though we are affiliated with the United Church of Christ, Elmhurst College embraces students of many religious traditions—and of none. We prize critical and constructive thinking, imagination and wit, compassion, and the cultivation of informed respect for different cultures and ways of life.
As you continue to explore Elmhurst College, I think you'll find a beautiful campus, an inspiring community, and experiences that will transform you in unexpected and exciting ways. And that's what a great liberal education is all about.

Preseason Game Preview/Shootaround Report: Dallas Mavericks (1-0) at F.C. Barcelona Regal
Preseason Game Preview/Shootaround Report: Dallas Mavericks (1-0) at F.C. Barcelona Regal
BARCELONA – After getting pushed to the brink of defeat Saturday night in Berlin before holding on for an 89-84 exhibition victory over ALBA Berlin, the Dallas Mavericks don't expect things to be any easier Tuesday night in Barcelona.
Taking the court at Palau Sant Jordi for the team's morning walkthrough before facing a talented F.C. Barcelona Regal team that's been together since mid-August, Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle preached to his team the importance of playing better basketball. The coach also stressed to his players not to overlook the 17-time Spanish champions after the Mavs' sluggish start to the preseason.
"It's an NBA team. Simple as that," the coach said of Tuesday night's opponent. "Simply put, it's an NBA team. You know, they've got three guys that have played in the league and two or three others that are going to. And they've been together for two months and we're in the early stages, so this is a challenging situation.
"You know, we've had a lot of meals together and the guys have done a lot of things together by choice," the coach added as the team builds chemistry on the fly. "That's a very positive thing. And now we've just gotta go out and play well tonight. That's really what it's about."
In order to do so, however, the coach admits the Mavs will have to pay better attention to details, after committing 27 turnovers in the win over ALBA. That message hit home, according to guard Delonte West, who expects a better effort from the squad as it wraps up its European tour. The eight-year veteran also believes the team will play a more well-rounded game after a disappointing showing.
"The first game the turnovers were a big issue for us with 27. You know, I don't know if I've ever seen that many," Carlisle admitted. "And then we've really talked and worked on the last couple of days of just getting five guys in there rebounding. Both things deal with possession of the ball, which is huge. So, we've gotta do a better job with it."
"You've gotta bring your A game every night," West emphatically said. "We brought our A game against ALBA, well we tried to, but they brought theirs also. We squeaked out a win, but this is a pretty good team tonight. And if we don't click on all cylinders, then we're gonna go home with a loss."
Fortunately for the Mavs' sake, big man Brandan Wright is expected to see time after being held out of the exhibition debut due to a strained quad injury suffered on Day 2 of training camp. Meanwhile, the team will also have to fill the void left by the absence of three-year guard Rodrigue Beaubois, who was ruled out of Tuesday night's game after spraining his ankle in the third quarter on Saturday.

LUMBERTON — A Lumberton teenager was killed Sunday night when he was thrown from his truck in a single-vehicle wreck on Lamb Road, according to the Highway Patrol.

Locklear, who was not wearing a seat belt, was killed immediately, according to the report.

Salem was first established as a fishing settlement on Cape Ann in 1624. The city gained historical significance in 1692 when Reverend Samuel Parris' daughter and niece fell ill and were believed to be bewitched. The famous Salem Witch Trials resulted in the hanging deaths of 19 individuals suspected of being involved with witchcraft.
In the 18th century, Salem became a major center for fishing, shipbuilding, and maritime trading. The town prospered from international trade with foreign nations, leading Salem to be one of the richest cities in the maritime era. Salem transitioned into a major manufacturing and retail center in the mid-19th century and today is still Massachusetts' most unique seaside community. Close to one million people visit Salem each year to celebrate the city's history, arts and seaside attractions.

About Ratso
I served in Vietnam and was proud of my country. The scars I came back with I kept to myself. I was greeted by despicable socialists bragging about how evil I was and my fellow veterans. They bragged about taking over our country and make everyone equal. That was code for making everyone poor and subservient but the elites. In retrospect, they were more dangerous than the VC and NVA I fought in Asia. It turned out my new enemy was the home bred. they were a once proud organization determined to do our country well. They changed and became intent on changing our homeland. They were the democratic party and in their name have corrupted this once great nation. I spit on them and their ilk. I am no longer proud of my country because it is no more. The stench of democrats have won over common sense and decency. They have contaminated our blood, our soul.
Maybe someday they will be found to be the the vermin they are and the people will rise up and crush them. It will be a long time from now however, for they have many years of folly and destruction to complete.
God save America!
