I've just installed new Ubuntu 11.10. The installation was successful. But when I start the Ubuntu, the splash screen does not work, and I get error (always some of these) "mountall: Plymouth command failed", "mountall: Connect to Plymouth was lost" or "Checking battery state..."
I'm sorry, if the error messages are incorrect because I translated two first of them from Finnish (my system is in Finnish) to English, so they maybe couldn't be just right.
I have already asked from our Finnish community, but they couldn't answer. Could anybody here?

How to Develop Your Personal Style
Posted by Audrey | Posted in Fashion Source | Posted on 14-10-2013
Believe it or not- as unique as our thumb prints are, each person has their own individual personal style. You might not have discovered your own just yet but there's no need to worry; we are all bound to develop our personal style as we grow to understand and recognize the person that we truly are. We know that this may sound confusing at first so in order to make this easy for everyone to digest, let's break it down to its simplest form by answering three general questions:
- What is personal style?
- How does style differ from fashion?
- Why is it important to develop a personal style?
- How do we develop our personal style?
Defining Personal Style
Personal style is the ability to correlate and apply your personality, taste, desires, inspiration, history, beliefs, hopes, dreams, ambitions and lifestyle into fashion. It is who you are, a connection with your inner self that transpires into your outer appearance. Style is basically is the way you translate who you are and how people want to see you. It's very much a personal thing.
As Epictitus the Greek Philosopher said, "Know, first, who you are; and then adorn yourself accordingly." And by accordingly he meant your own, authentic style and not anyone else's.
Style vs. Fashion
Note: Style and Fashion have a common ground but are completely two different things.
Fashion is the collection of popular trends and looks in a particular period of time; while style is the expression of your individuality through fashion, it is never restricted nor limited to time or fashion. It is the essence of you.
Fashion is there to guide and inspire you while style is what you create out of it.
Taking a cue back in time: When we were younger, our parents dressed us up in what would look on us on their own judgment (their personal style) but as we grew older we began to pick out our own clothes, we discovered what we liked and disliked, we judged what type of clothes or appearance looked good on us, so on and so forth as we grew to understand the world around us and ourselves. It was never easy, all of us passed through what we call 'the ugly duckling phase' or the awkward phase -many of us have experienced experimenting with different hair styles, cuts, colours, clothing, looks that we often took from magazines or our favourite celebrities from movies or even from MTV as music was a big influence in fashion. If you look through your old photos, you might find some funny looking moments – and then, our style later evolved slowly but surely, through lots of trial and error.
The Importance of Developing Your Personal Style
Imagine if everyone in the world wore the same exact clothes, doesn't this thought send chills down your spine? We would all look like zombies and feel like robots! Let's put it this way, take Marilyn Monroe for example, when you hear her name – what do you visualize? Her blonde locks, velvet red lips, and white halter dress blowing along with the wind– that was her signature look and up until now, we still think of her that way. What created her vixen look? Marilyn Monroe had the curves and personality to achieve that flirty, sexy appearance men found irresistibly attractive.
Well, what about Audrey Hepburn? She had a much more sophisticated and lady-like charm. Think Breakfast at Tiffany's, where she was dressed in a long, black gown, a tiara pinned on her hair with a pipe on one hand – a look that was meant to be classy and timeless. She was and has remained a style icon even after all these years with her large and expressive doe eyes, petite figure, and soft-spoken manner.
Now, how would it look and feel if we swapped their styles? Would it still feel right? This analogy tells us that our way of dressing reflects who we truly are.
Developing Your Personal Style
If you ask a fashionable looking lady where she gets her style – it might take a while for her to come up with a brief but concise answer because really, she might have to summarize a description of herself. Style comes from everything a person was and has become. Sometimes, we might even encounter 'late bloomers' people who mature slowly or are somewhat left behind in time and on trends. Otherwise, there are those who are very much 'fashion forward' or those who appeal to the future. Developing your personal style is absolutely essential to defining the person you are. Whether you're futuristic, a late bloomer or caught in between, here are some ways to develop your personal style:
- Reflect – Have you found your niche? Are you having an identity crisis? Reflect on the things that make you a better person. Connect with your inner self and find what makes you happy. Once you've figure that out, it will be much easier to settle in your own style. When you feel good inside, it radiates and your aura shines. There's nothing more sexy than a flower in bloom.
- Assess yourself – Be honest – what do you think looks good on you and what doesn't? What are you most confident in? Distinguish your personal interests, likes and dislikes, etc – cultivate your personal style through these aspects. You don't have to follow trends all the time.
- Acknowledge your assets and flaws – No one is perfect. Would you believe it if I told you that models and celebrities are flawed too? The difference is that they use some style techniques and secrets to look fabulous day-in-day-out. Once you learn to accept your flaws, you can do a much better job at hiding them and highlighting your best assets instead.
- Find Inspiration – Find a muse or style icon you are most drawn to, you don't have to copy her style down to the bones. Having a style icon serves as your guide when you feel like you're running low on trends. With social media platforms like WeHeartIt, Instagram, Polyvore, LookBook, Chictopia and Tumblr, you can search the world not only celebrities but source out fashion statements from people around the world like fashion journalists, photographers and style bloggers, who does an excellent job at translating trends and using their in their own way of dressing.
- Experiment – Get your creative juices flowing. Break the rules in fashion. Not long ago, print-on-print was a fashion taboo – who knew that today, the combination of mismatched prints and patterns or the clashing of two or three unlikely colours would be a mega trend that has taken the world by storm?
In conclusion, remember that whatever look or style you choose, it all comes down to comfort and confidence. As long as you're comfortable in the way that you look and project a confident and happy person, you'll be at your best.

What's the top the reason you're unable - or unwilling - to upgrade to the latest available operating system verions?

The current one just works!
I always format / install. NEVER upgrade. Keep it nice and clean. too many places crap can get lost or dup'd.
But if u mean going from older version to a new version, it's generally
edit: This is referring to Windows OS, not linux, etc.
Upgrading the OS on a server that is hosting lots of websites means many many hours reinstalling the sites on the new server, not to mention the downtime and the ever-present risk of missing some undocumented third-party component or service installed on the old server.
Same is true on a personal computer (though more of the work goes into reinstalling applications, and reconfiguring the environment).
If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
In a lot of cases, the compatibility of important software is not known. It may be even worse if the software was not updated since some time.
For me, it has to be downtime & loss of productivity.
On the desktop front, even though I try and keep my system relatively "clean" in terms of what is installed, it is still set up exactly how I need it. In the past, I've found it takes 2 or 3 days per year's worth of data / applications / settings to migrate to a clean OS install: with data being the most time consuming - checking out scores of projects from a half dozen different SVN repositories just isn't a quick process.
On the server front, "upgrade" is a bit of a misnomer: I would never ever upgrade the entire OS of a server whilst it was "live": critical patches would be as far as I went (if it ain't broke, don't fix it). When choosing a new server, it really depends on the requirements, but others have said, it's not really worth the hassle of being on the crest of the wave with a new OS - let others who can afford to throw money at problems trial and error it.
pretty much in that order
One Lession that I learned the hard way many times, I treat it as a law: You can NOT upgrade Windows. Formatting/Reinstalling is faster than "upgrading" and dealing with the issues. I've got bitten by this so often, even with seemingly straight-forward upgrades like Win2000 => WinXP.
The other reason is the "Never touch a running system" rule. If it runs and there are no security vulnerabilities impacting it, don't touch it.
I used to be the kind of guy who would jump to the latest OS as soon as it was out of beta. But with the shift from XP to Vista, I have become more cautious and conservative. You've all heard the horror stories about simple things that broke. For me it was the ability to connect to my company's VPN and use remote desktop to get to my work machine, which incidentally, I still can't get going.
That experience, coupled with the advances we've seen in virtualization recently (which makes trying an OS before you commit much more practical), means I'll be much slower on the uptake of Windows 7.
Short answer: I got burnt. Pain is an excellent teacher.
I subscribe to the "If it ain't broke" policy, especially on server versions. Having to go through the pain of working out how to get everything up and working in the new version tends to keep me with the version I currently have.
Only when the new features become essential and required do I feel the need to go through the process again. And then only when the new essential features outweigh the process of working out how to get everything working again.
I use Linux at work (Ubuntu 8.10) and I am very wary of updates around the kernel / driver area or updating to new versions (i.e. 9.04) because:
At home it's a different story because that's my time...
Stability. We know the applications work on the OS they're running on, and any change to the environment can introduce unintended consequences. Usually the OS is updated at the same time we're planning to deploy new hardware. We can purchase the hardware, configure the OS, install the software and test, test, then test some more before deploying to the production environment.
I'm usually keen to upgrade to the latest versions of an OS, however the most common reasons I have found for people not want to upgrade is either the compatability of old software, or not wanting to learn a new OS.
The hassle of reinstalling all my applications is the #1 reason for me. That and the fact that even after I reinstall, there'll most probably be incompatibilities.
I think it depends on the frequency the software is upgraded. If a new version comes out every 3-6 months, I would be upgrading systems almost everyday.
Having a large estate of computers which all need to be upgraded together. Having multiple Operating Systems or versions of operating systems complicates support.
Having to migrate lots of machines at once is also more complicated and requires more app compatibility checking beforehand and user support after.
Time involvement and stability, whether talking about Linux or Windows. With Windows, I haven't tried an upgrade in a long time, but experience has taught me to avoid the first release of any Windows OS. I always wait until SP1 comes out, unless I hear otherwise from friends who are early adopters.
With Linux, I've always used Red Hat. With Fedora, Red Hat releases have become more bleeding edge than they used to be. Due to this, I don't rush to upgrade my Fedora machines. I wait until a release has been out at least a few weeks and I read reviews from early adopters.
I have no experience with Mac (regarding installation and upgrades), but with Windows and with Linux, I find new releases are often not quite ready for prime time. I know if I used a less bleeding edge Linux distribution (such as Debian) then it would probably be more safe to upgrade as soon as a release comes out, but I'm a hacker from way back, and I like solving problems. (That's one reason I'm on SO and SF!)
Above I talked about the stability aspect. For any OS, it's often easier to reinstall rather than upgrade. For Linux, I'll often upgrade once or twice (a year apart) and then do a complete reinstall in place of the next upgrade. For Windows, I normally just replace the hardware and install a new OS on the new hardware. Why ever reinstall Linux? Well, as open source advances, some packages are replaced or discarded. When you upgrade, bits of flotsam are left behind, some in
That's the time involvement. Doing an upgrade takes time to clean up cruft (in Linux, *.rpmnew and *.rpmsave, for example). A full reinstall takes time, of course, to ensure that nothing is lost, everything is reconfigured and reinstalled, and so on.
If not USB support - i'd still be runing windows NT 4 sp6. But since I moved to 2000 I jump on every new client os as soon as it gets out, just to see where MS are going with it. And only tonns of stored data can stop me for awhile, but not for too long.
There are usually enough things I hate about the current version that are fixed in the next one that I end up upgrading sooner rather than later. I was on Vista x64 a year after it was out, and everything worked absolutely fine - which was quite unexpected given all the bad reputation it had.
Windows 8 is just plain ugly and unusable on a desktop system.
Windows Server 2012 is even worse.
Yes, I know, lots of technical improvements and so on.
But the UI totally sucks, and that's a death blow for Microsoft.

Which of the following verbs is most commonly used with movie? Or are they both used, but the connotations are different?
I watched a good movie yesterday.
I saw a good movie yesterday.
Which of the following verbs is most commonly used with movie? Or are they both used, but the connotations are different?
Generally, 'see' has the connotation of having gone to the movie theater and watched the movie there whereas 'watch' tends to mean to watch it in a home environment on DVD or TV.
In the cases where 'watch' is used to mean doing so at a theater, it is often accompanied with a construction like "go and", e.g. "We're going to go and watch X." In the absence of other context, this implies the sentence, "We're going to go to the theater and watch X" as opposed to "We're going to go to Bill's house and watch X."
This is just my experience of course.
Also, the distinction doesn't seem to apply to past tense. I mostly hear 'seen' used in this context but sometimes hear "watch"
The first one is much more common in my experience.
Either way, the primary distinction between watching a movie in a home environment and watching it at a theater is probably constructions involving the use of the verb "go".
To "go see something" applies to more than just movies. One can go see a play, an art exhibition, or what's happening somewhere. It's the act of going out somewhere and looking at something. Saying "Let's go see a movie" means that that you will go to the movie theater and watch a movie. When you are actually sitting in the movie theater, you are watching the movie.
I have two theories on the use of watch and see:
Like Did you see the stuff displayed in the museum? v/s. You should watch the way he batted.
Well, just from my experience of language and words :)
'See' is used when one tells of the intention.
Eg. 1. I will go to the movies to see the much talked about film. 2. I will be going out to see a movie soon. 3. We went to see a movie together last weekend.
On the other hand, 'watched' is used when actually the film is rolling or rolled and it's being appreciated or was appreciated respectively.
Eg. 1. Please I am watching a movie at the hall. 2. We watched a movie last night.
Technically, one watches a film (movie). One can also see a film - this is acceptable in colloquial speech, but stems from a misuse I would posit. It also has the connotation that you're going somewhere to watch it (e.g. the cinema).
Other European languages (including French and Spanish) use the verb to see in this situation, I believe (even though they have verbs for "to watch")... so it's probably quite a common mistake.
Consider saying "I watched a movie" or "I watched a photograph." Or rather consider saying "I saw a movie" or I saw a photograph (picture.)" Obviously, watched makes more sense in the case of a movie and saw in the case of a photograph.

Now-famous Alabama Shakes return with confidence, polish
So much has happened to Alabama Shakes in the past nine months that the band that sold out the Riverside Theater on Friday is in a sense different from the one that sold out the Pabst Theater in March.
Back in March, the Southern rock band anchored by Brittany Howard's bountiful voice had never headlined a show for so many people before. (Credit $10 tickets, frequent RadioMilwaukee airplay and strong endorsements from Adele and trendsetting music writers for the sellout.) Given the size of the crowd of approximately 1,300 people (and the volume of their chatter), the band initially appeared stiff; perhaps the Shakes' nerves were shaky. But when hundreds sang "Hold On" along with Howard, the frontwoman flashed a stunned smile. Clearly it was a sound she hadn't heard before, not on that level.
That show preceded the South by Southwest hoopla, the release of the debut album "Boys & Girls" and the nonstop gigging in front of far larger audiences. So on Friday, when the band took the stage, a confident Howard was doing a little jig. »Read Full Article(3)
Sanders' record night not enough vs. Timberwolves
Minneapolis - Larry Sanders staged his own block party but it was not enough to turn back the Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday night at the Target Center.
The Milwaukee Bucks forward blocked 10 shots, tying a franchise record established nearly 40 years ago by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
But the Timberwolves received a gutty performance from forward Kevin Love, who played despite stomach illness, and pulled away in the fourth quarter for a 95-85 victory. »Read Full Article(31)

Adventurer wouldn't let Grand Canyon fall stop him
Verne R. Read was president of the venerable T.A. Chapman department store, survived a near-fatal fall in the Grand Canyon, climbed the Himalayas (four times) and helped save bats - yes, bats - but he is also a member of a very rare club indeed: He climbed the Matterhorn on his honeymoon.
He owed the fact that he could say the words Matterhorn and honeymoon in the same sentence to his bride, Marion, who, as the daughter of Alice Chester - founder of the Girl Scouts in Milwaukee - grew up climbing things (trees, mountains), playing tennis and generally embracing the outdoor life.
"He was a sportsman. He was game for anything," said his son Ross Read. »Read Full Article

Neglected WEDC taxpayer-financed loans grow to $12.2 million
Madison - Borrowers have fallen behind in making payments on taxpayer-funded loans worth $12.2 million in total that were neglected by officials at the state's top jobs agency - $3 million more than was previously believed to be at risk.
As of Nov. 2, borrowers were late in making payments totaling $2.5 million, but the state could easily end up losing more than that, records show. One late borrower, Flambeau River Biofuels, is unlikely to repay $2 million of its outstanding loans from the state, though the amount currently past due is only a fraction of that total, according to state figures and past interviews with its owner.
The Wisconsin Economic Development Corp. Friday afternoon turned over the information on the 67 past-due loans and a stack of other documents in response to an open records request by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. »Read Full Article(357)

Cudahy Carolers find heart of holiday, aina hey?
In the best of many wonderful moments in "A Cudahy Caroler Christmas," Alison Mary Forbes makes her appearance as Trixie, a mousy librarian auditioning for Stasch Zielinski's Cudahy choir.
Trixie can't sing a note - until downing half a bottle of mango-peach schnapps. Suitably fortified, the real Trixie moves into a clothes-shucking burlesque routine that liberates her body and unleashes Forbes' amazing voice. Forbes may be singing a sadistic librarian's fantasy about torturing patrons, but her Trixie is also gloriously - and uproariously - free.
Yes, this song - and "Cudahy" generally - is very funny, and the spirited audience at Thursday night's sold-out preview was laughing from start to finish, as the cast made its way through traditional carols sporting titles like "In the Dells" ("Silver Bells"), "We T'ree Guys" ("We Three Kings") and "O, Bowling Night" ("O, Holy Night"). »Read Full Article(3)

Johnson Controls touts 'Midwest play' to build batteries of future
Illinois may be the host of the new $120 million energy research hub announced Friday, but the inclusion of Wisconsin's largest company and the University of Michigan makes it "a Midwest play," said MaryAnn Wright, vice president at Johnson Controls Inc.
The Joint Center for Energy Storage Research will receive $120 million in funding over five years for Argonne National Laboratory, other energy labs, universities and Johnson Controls.
Energy Secretary Steven Chu on Friday announced the award during an appearance near Chicago at the Argonne headquarters in Lemont, Ill. The goal: to bring together energy storage research that's taking place in different spots and help to bring the best technologies to market quickly. »Read Full Blog Post(28)
Area manufacturing remains slow, Marquette survey says
Manufacturing in southeastern Wisconsin and northern Illinois remained slow in November for the fifth consecutive month, according to a survey released Friday.
The survey's index measuring industrial health was 45.5, compared with 43.3 in October, according to Marquette University's Center for Supply Chain Management and the local chapter of the Institute of Supply Management, the organizations that compile the data.
An index score above 50 indicates growth, while below 50 indicates declining conditions. It was the fifth time the area's seasonally adjusted index fell below 50 since July 2009. »Read Full Article(33)
Former Whitefish Bay barbershop owner convicted of child porn
A former Whitefish Bay barber who tried to frame his landlord on child pornography charges has been convicted of the crime himself, and now faces at least 30 years in prison.
David P. Foley, 50, who ran the Sport N Cuts barbershop at 402 E. Silver Spring Drive in Whitefish Bay, was charged last year after a 15-month criminal investigation.
A federal jury in Milwaukee this week found Foley, of Shorewood, guilty of six counts, including producing, distributing and possessing child pornography, and transporting an underage boy across a state line for the purpose of sex. Foley is accused of taking an unnamed teenage boy to the Mall of America in Minnesota and sexually assaulting him in their hotel room during the trip. »Read Full Article
Profit increases at Johnson Outdoors
Johnson Outdoors Inc. on Friday said its operating profit grew by double digit percentages on higher revenue for fiscal 2012, but a tax rate adjustment ate into its net earnings.
The Racine-based outdoor recreation company said in a statement that pretax income was 62.7% percent above the prior year, "however a significantly higher effective tax rate in the current year resulted in an unfavorable comparison to prior year adjusted net earnings."
"Our three-year plan ending in fiscal 2012 focused on strengthening operations and enhancing marketplace performance against the backdrop of a gradual recovery of outdoor recreation markets," said Helen Johnson-Leipold, chairman and chief executive officer in the statement. »Read Full Article

Wisconsin judge denies subpoenas of reporters
Baraboo - A Sauk County judge has refused to authorize subpoenas for three Madison reporters who covered a raw milk dispute, saying Wisconsin's reporter shield law protects them.
Wisconsin Freedom of Information Council President Bill Lueders said he believes the case marks the first time the shield law has been invoked since then-Gov. Jim Doyle signed it into law in 2010.
Under the law, judges can order reporters to testify, produce information or reveal a source's identity only when it is "highly relevant" to the case or critical to at least one party's argument. Attorneys would have to show they couldn't get the information any other way and there was an overriding public interest in disclosing it. »Read Full Article(5)

Walker fails to bag a deer in this year's hunt
Madison - While the number of deer killed in Wisconsin during this year's hunt went up nearly 8%, Gov. Scott Walker wasn't among those contributing to the increase.
Walker said Friday he went hunting but failed to bag a deer.
Walker said he "didn't even see anything" when he went hunting in Vilas County. There was no snow on the ground, which Walker said complicated the hunt. »Read Full Article(113)
Suburbs show strong gains in home sales
Regional home sales are on the rise, approaching levels not seen since 2007 in the four-county Milwaukee area.
The rally is fueled by low prices, mortgage rates that remain at historic lows, and an economy inching toward recovery.
"We're on our way, I think, and hopefully the rest of the economy responds well," said Rick Bohmann, vice president and sales director of the Elmbrook-Wauwatosa office of Shorewest Realtors, 11622 W. North Ave. »Read Full Article(13)
Persistent firefighters, wardens rescue deer stranded on ice
A determined crew of emergency workers and wardens rescued a deer stuck on the ice Thursday on Tichigan Lake.
Residents in the area noticed the deer continually collapsing on the ice, and the Tichigan Volunteer Fire Department began looking at ways to help the animal.
They and some Department of Natural Resources staff finally found a way to get out to the buck with a special sled, then towed him to the shore.
"It was almost as if he knew that we were there to help him," Tichigan volunteer Bob Zortman told WITI-TV (Channel 6), which has this report and some great video of the rescue. (4)
Waukesha's Hebron House Overflow Shelter will open Saturday
While it's a couple weeks past their original scheduled time, the Hebron House of Hospitality's Overflow Shelter in Waukesha will open its doors on Saturday.
The shelter, located at the former Northview Shelter, 1721 Northview Road, was scheduled to open Nov. 15, but due to a lack of funds it pushed its target date back to Dec. 1.
Although Cathy Malkani, director of development for Hebron House of Hospitality, said $33,000 is needed for it to stay open for three months, the $28,000 that has been raised so far was enough for the interim. »Read Full Article

New CBS cooking competition show looking for home bakers
Do you have a talent for home baking? Comfortable in front of the camera? A new, national baking show that CBS is developing is looking for non-professional bakers who will compete in challenges that test their skills.
Bakers can submit a video online by Dec. 15 or bring their most impressive baked good to an open call on Dec. 8 in Chicago, at Kendall College, 900 N. North Branch St. The open call is from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., and organizers say attending an open call is preferred over submitting a video.
Anyone who will be at least 18 years old by Feb. 1 and is in no way a professional baker is free to try out for the show. That means no former professional bakers can apply, either, and professional training in the last 10 years isn't allowed, although recreational cooking classes are.
To find out more about the show, register for the open call or to apply, visit the show's website. (2)
'Liking' Facebook posts? You may be helping spam go viral
If you ever "liked" a photo on Facebook posted by someone you didn't know because you thought it was fun or would result in the poster donating money to a charity, you may inadvertently have helped spread spam.
It's the latest scam involving Facebook, according to the Better Business Bureau.
Here's how it works: Tech-savvy spammers set up an account and post funny or moving images. The more people "like" or "share" the post or image, the more it improves the business' so-called "EdgeRank." That's the algorithm that predicts how interesting each story is and helps filter stories so only the top-ranked ones appear in people's Facebook newsfeed. »Read Full Blog Post(1)

I have heard this from friends, but I never investigated whether this is true.
Is it true that the data results of an executed query are stored in cache?
I mean, if I have a stored procedure like :
...is it true that the result (list of users, in this case) is stored in cache.
Also, if I have these :
SELECT * FROM USERLIST WHERE user="mark"
SELECT * FROM USERLIST WHERE user="markzzz"
(in which mark/markzzz are passed as parameters), is it correct that it stores 2 different results on the database cache.
I don't think so, but I want the confirmation from you, experts!

What is the correct pronunciation HaGeshem or HaGoshem?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
Since geshem changing to gashem is dependent on whether the word comes at the completion of a phrase (esnachta or sof pasuk), the real question is:
Is the ability to make rain a praise in itself (ending the phrase- hagashem), or is it only a praise if it is used to sustain life and must be followed by mechalkel chaim b'chesed (hageshem)
There are many in each camp. Interestingly, even though Rav Moshe writes hagashem, the sefer Tefila K'hilchasa quote a pamphlet (Mechalkel Chaim) which claims much support for hageshem and claims that Rav Moshe retracted.
Actually the sefer you are refering to is Birchos HaChaim. It is available on Otzar HaChochma. Based on what I have read so far, the correct reading would be haGESHEM. (I have not found yet where he says that Rav Moshe retracted, but I have only gone through half of the 97 pages). The nusach of haGASHEM seems to have been put in by a maskil... He also discusses if haTal should be with a kametz or a patach. Check the sefer for a full explanation.
See excellent article here: http://ohr.edu/this_week/insights_into_halacha/4903. it explains not only the why's but also the who's.
another relevant link : http://www.dinonline.org/2011/11/07/pronunciation-of-gashemgeshem/
also i would not rely lmaaseh on the tefillah kehilchasa's claims that rav moshe retracted. if he would have, it would be listed in more reliable sources. many others including rav elyashiv said gashem as well. I think he is confusing it with rav shlomo zalman auerbach who is quoted in halichos shlomo as retracting after reading birchos chaim. the tefillah khilchasa also claims that the gr"a said geshem - and that the steipler said gashem - both the exact opposite of every other source.

I know that for some L-series there is still a rapidly-converging series. My question is about the existence of a such a series for the Dirichlet series of the Hasse–Weil L-function associated with an elliptic curve over rationals. A google search do not gives important answers.
A rapidly-converging series of the Hasse–Weil L-function associated with an elliptic curve over rationals
Possibly the answer would be the so-called "approximate functional equation" for the $L$-function. This of course takes as input the modularity of the Hasse-Weil zeta function, and gives rapidly convergent series representing it at any point. I would expect Cremona's book on algorithms for modular elliptic curves to contain a description. Software like Pari/GP implements such algorithms (see the command elllseries).
Also look at my paper: Computational methods and experiments in analytic number theory, in Recent Perspectives in Random Matrix Theory and Number Theory. Available here: http://arxiv.org/pdf/math/0412181v1.pdf See section 3.4, example 5 which deals with elliptic curves.

Let $\phi:R[x]\rightarrow C$ defined for a fixed $z\in C$ as $\phi(p(x))=p(z)$ where $p\in R[x]$. Then this map is supposed to be surjective. Could someone explain me please why?
I assume that $C$ wants to be $\Bbb C$ and $z\in\Bbb C\setminus\Bbb R$. (Else, if $z\in R$, then for all $p\in R[x]$, we have $p(z)\in R$ whatever ring $R$ is.)
Let's assume then that $z=a+bi$ for $a,b\in\Bbb R$ and $b\ne 0$. Then $$g(x):=\frac1b\cdot (x-a)$$ and for arbitrary $r+si\in\Bbb C$, consider $p(x):=r+s\cdot g(x)\ \in \Bbb R[x]$, then, as $g(z)=i$, we have $p(z)=r+s\cdot i$.
Let $\rm\,\bar R = \phi R,\,$ Then $\rm\, \phi\,$ onto $\rm\!\!\iff\!\! \phi(R[x]) = \bar R[z] = C.\:$ Thus $\,\phi\,$ is surjective iff $\rm\,C\,$ is the ring generated by adjoining $\,z\,$ to the subring $\rm\,\bar R\subseteq C.\,$ To say more requires knowing further details.
For example, if $\rm\,\phi : R\subset C\,$ are fields then $\,\phi\,$ is onto if $\rm\,[C:R] = p\,$ is prime, and $\rm\,z\not\in R,\:$ since then $\rm\,1 < [R[z]:R]\mid [C:R]=p,\,$ so $\rm\,[R[z]:R] = p.\,$ This is true, e.g. for $\rm\,R = \Bbb R,\ C = \Bbb C$.

To the editor:
The Leavenworth downtown Christmas parade and the lighting of the Mayor's Christmas tree held on Nov. 30 was an embarrassment to our city.
It was the most disorganized event I have ever attended in my life. You could not hear dignitaries speaking, nor the choirs singing because of the lousy PA system that was set up under the canopy of Haymarket Square.
Being a warm evening, people came out in numbers to witness the lighting of the Mayor's Christmas tree. When many discovered the tree consisted of a metal pole with lights draped down to the ground, the crowd diminished before the tree lighting.
I realize that budget is a great concern; and the city made do with what they had. Couldn't someone had asked for a donation for a real Christmas tree? I have one in my front yard I would have gladly donated.
With Leavenworth being the First City, is there some unknown factor as to why we can't provide hospitality in a more fashionable manner?
No wonder downtown Leavenworth is a dying legend.

I'm on a quest of finding the best tool to manage what I do.
TL;DR: Freelance web developer looking for tool to connect project management and daily tasks.
I like Getting Things Done methodology a lot and found many great tools for implementing it (the best of them seems to be DoIt.im). I also like SCRUM methodology. I am the only developer in my "business" for now, so obviously I can't implement the original SCRUM guidelines, but I think I can use some ideas. Mainly creating user stories, backlog, dividing development process into sprints etc. For this, I found Yodiz to be quite good fit.
I would love to have a tool that would allow me to use agile methods to plan and organize my projects (project -> release -> sprints -> user stories -> tasks to implement user stories) and then organize tasks that raised from project planning as well as tasks of my personal life in GTD way. For example: I wake up in the morning and look at the "Next" list (GTD). It contains all tasks (from my projects, personal, etc.) that are set to be processed next. I set some of them for today and now I have to-do list that contains all things I have to do. Some of the tasks are simple, without any context (call mom, go to library), some of them belong to projects. The beauty of this system is the connection of complex project planning with simple daily to-do lists.
Do you know about a tool that is capable of all the above, or two separate tools that could communicate together? Or am I going all wrong about projects and tasks management?
All tips are welcome!

What does it mean when the driver behind you on the Autobahn flashes his headlights?
If he/she is coming from behind, it means normally:
The frequency of the light blinking indicate the urgency, a short one after a while means "Please ?" a whole flurry of it means "GET OUT OF THE F****** LANE, YOU STUPID SNEAKER !!". And no, it is not an exaggeration, Germans can be very offensive behind a steering wheel.
EDIT: In the comments it was suggested to use the left turning indicator. If you drive in Germany on the left lane, you will see that this is nearly invisible from the front car during daytime within the appropiate breaking distance. Short light usage to indicate overtaking is legal and recommended (§5 Part 5 of the StVO, the German street law):
If there is no indication that the driver behind you wants to overtake you, it means that something seems to be wrong with your car (headlights or taillights not working/not on). Get out at the next service station and look. If the blinking comes from the opposing traffic, it means that you have you high beam on or you forget to switch on your lights.
Now some corrections, because Paul got it wrong:
You have no choice choosing your lane, you should
You must also pass someone always on one of the left lanes. It is also punishable to drive too slowly without reason, 100 km/h should be normal on the right lane (If you are e.g. running low on gas, you could drive 80 km/h and switch on the warning lights).
Because Germany is in Middle of Europe, we have an extremely high amount of truck traffic. So while not intended as such, the right lane has in fact mutated to a lorry/truck lane. So if we have three lanes and the right lane is full with trucks, the middle lane accommodates the normal cars which in fact have a speed of 130-150 km/h, the left lane should be reserved for overtaking (meaning that people use it for high speeding). If only two lanes are open, the left is used for overtaking.
ADDITION: If the driver behind you is coming too near and caught, he will be punished with increased severity. The correct distance is the speed halved in meters (140 km/h = 70 m, the poles on the right side have a distance of 50m between them. From 80-130 km/h and less than half it is 35 €, with more than 130 km/h and less than 1/20 of the speed (140 km/h => less than 7m) it means 400 € and immediate suspension of the driving license for 3 months.
It usually means get your slow ass out of the way.
The main Autobahns have three lanes:
If you are driving in the inner lane and someone flashes their headlights at you, it means move over to the middle because they want to get past. If this happens regularly it's a hint to not drive in that lane, or speed up.
It is an official signal and has a name: it is called Lichthupe in German.
The German road-traffic regulations Straßenverkehrsordnung (StVO in short) mention this in two paragraphs:
A typical danger could be you see that a driver loses freight. You may not warn other drivers because of a traffic control checkpoint. ADAC notes that the fee will be 10 EUR.
It is not allowed to reduce the safety distance between two cars. Reducing the distance and flashing lights will be interpreted as pushing and leads to severe punishment.
NB: It is allowed outside of towns to flash lights from a safe distance to "ask for permission" to overtake.
It can mean different things, depending on context:
As you can see, there are lots of different meanings, and it's not always clear what the other driver meant.
In many cases it simply means that the guy behind you is crazy thinks he doesn't have to care about speed limits and safety distance. If there are cars on the line right to yours and you are driving faster than these cars, just ignore the guy behind you.
As @Jonas Stein already mentioned its usually just a reminder that somebody is coming on from behind with a much higher speed then you and wants to overtake. They usually signal from a longer distance. This is for safety reasons so that you know somebody is going to pass although you are already are in the correct lane.
It is to prevent that a driver in the middle lane is going to overtake by going to the left while a car is coming from behind with much higher speed which is pretty dangerous! You don't really see that happen that much in Germany as drivers are used to high speed overtakes but in other countries - like the Netherlands - people just go left without proper mirroring.
You should first let cars pass and then move a lane if you want to overtake. It is very rude and very dangerous to just slam the car to the left as the driver from behind will need to break hard or even insanely hard if he is traveling at 250km/h which is not very uncommon on some highways.
Keep mirroring when you are driving reasonably fast at 180km/h and always move a lane to the right when possible as there is always a faster car.
Although the official rule is to move to the right most lane you usually see that card keep their lane in Germany unless they see a faster car approaching and then move a lane to the right when possible. If its not possible you usually see the car from behing overtake and keep his lane until someone approaching him from behind and them moves to the right very early to not hinder the car from behind.
Also, as people mentioned is that German drivers more often signal when they think something is wrong with your car like signals, lights, tyre pressure as all these can cause dangerous situations due to speed differences.

What are the pros and cons of using irish moss versus whirlfloc tablets for clarifying beer?
I used Irish moss for many years before switching to whirlfloc. But I think that was an availability thing more than anything else.
Irish Moss:
In my experience whirlfloc is easier to use, with few draw backs. But in real world application the two are practically the same performance wise.
In my experience, Whirlfloc works better. I used Irish moss for my first couple of years, until I found Whirlfloc. The first time I tried it I was amazed at how clear my wort got. I chill by putting my kettle in a tub of cold water, and the visual effects of a Whirlfloc-treated wort when it hits about 25 degrees C are pretty cool. I've never seen anything like it in my Irish Moss batches.
Yesterday I did my first batch going back to Irish Moss (I ran out of Whirlfloc) and it did not clear nearly as well as all my Whirlfloc batches.
Maybe I'm not using enough Irish Moss. I'm using about 1 tsp in 5 gallons, re-hydrating it in warm water before putting it in for the last 10 minutes of the boil. I think I'll try a couple more batches with IM, but if I don't get better results I'm going back to Whirfloc.
I should clarify that I'm talking about pre-fermentation clarity. I get crystal-clear wort when using Whirlfloc, but I don't think I've ever seen that with Irish Moss. But I'm not sure about the difference between the two post-fermentation. I always have significant chill haze with both, and I haven't really compared the two. But I've found that pre-fermentation the difference is striking.

8:20 The Future of Biomanufacturing: Flexible, Compact, Cost-Effective and Modular Facilities
Sadettin S. Ozturk, Ph.D., Head, Process and Analytical Development, MassBiologics
Recent advances in technology and process optimization resulted in significant enhancements in product yields, allowed robust operation, and established systems for consistent product quality. New cell culture processes are so efficient that they require smaller production facilities than before and they can fully take advantage of the latest single use systems. In this talk we will review the latest developments in process and technologies and provide a vision for the design of future biomanufacturing facilities.
9:00 Regulatory Considerations for Flexible Multiproduct Facilities
John Godshalk, Senior Consultant, GMP, CMC, Biologics Consulting Group, Inc. and former Review/Inspector, Division of Manufacturing and Product Quality, CBER, U.S. FDA
This talk will review the regulatory considerations for hybrid, multiproduct facilities and consider if any additional requirements are necessary. We will discuss whether the current facility requirements similarly apply to modular, multiunit, multiproduct facilities and how open ballroom, flexible manufacturing concepts may be assessed.
9:30 Personalized Therapeutics, Biosimilars and Pandemic Risks Demand New Approaches to BioManufacturing
Sid Backstrom, Director, Business Management, G Con Manufacturing
Today's biopharmaceutical manufacturing facilities are smaller, more flexible, efficient and cost-effective, and they are able to adapt quickly to market changes. With modular systems, we could now place an entire small-scale clinical production line inside a manufacturing suite/environment that could be easily scaled up or redeployed elsewhere as needed. We will explore case studies that are in operation today as a proof of concept and technology robustness and the progress made in this area of patient health needs.

3:05 Combining Single-Use Technologies with Flexible Workforce to Maximize Utilization of Manufacturing
Wolfgang Noe, Ph.D., Vice President, Technical Operations, Agensys Inc.
Use of disposables for manufacturing is becoming a 'standard' in the biotech industry. There is a perception that the use of disposables will make biotech processes more economical, however, very often the effective interaction between involved departments during early clinical manufacturing is underestimated. The author will give a detailed insight into effective manufacturing by using a flexible work model where many departments will contribute to the on-time availability of clinical material as well as the start of clinical trials.
