| ISO's facts
1. What is ISO?The European Space Agency's (ESA) Infrared Space Observatory (ISO) is an astronomical satellite that was operational between November 1995 and May 1998. It operated at wavelengths from 2.5 to 240 microns, in the infrared range of the electromagnetic spectrum. Because the atmosphere acts as an 'umbrella' for most infrared wavelengths -preventing them from reaching the ground- a space telescope is needed to detect this kind of radiation invisible to the human eye and to optical telescopes.The satellite essentially consists of: a large liquid-helium cryostat; a telescope with a 60-cm diameter primary mirror; four scientific instruments and the service module. The overall dimensions of ISO are:
2. ISO's predecessors. What are ISO's advantages?In 1983 the US-Dutch-British IRAS satellite inaugurated infrared space astronomy by mapping 250,000 cosmic infrared sources and large areas of extended emission. But that was only the beginning. ISO's detectors, with an enhanced sensitivity and resolution (by 1000 in sensitivity and by 100 in angular resolution at 12 microns), have allowed a much closer look, a much more detailed perception of the 'infrared scenery'. Thus, ISO has provided astronomers with a unique facility to see both familiar objects in an unusual way and objects that are invisible at other wavelengths.3. Why observe in the infrared?Infrared radiation is primarily 'heat', or thermal radiation. Even objects that we think of as being very cold, such as an ice cube, emit infrared radiation.For this reason ISO, operating at wavelengths from 2.5 to 240 microns, could observe astronomical objects that remain hidden for optical telescopes, such as cool objects that are unable to emit in visible light. Opaque objects, those surrounded by clouds of dust, are another specialty of ISO because the longer IR wavelengths can penetrate the dust, allowing us to see deeper into such clouds. 4. Who developed ISO?The scientific instruments were developed by multinational teams, with leaders in France, Germany, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. The satellite was developed, manufactured, integrated and tested by an industrial consortium made up of 32 companies, mostly from Europe, headed by Aérospatiale, France.5. The instruments and their function:The single 0.6-metre telescope in ISO fed infrared beams via a pyramidal mirror to four instruments. The fields of view and the selection of wavelengths are varied, to suit the nature of the object examined.The four instruments are:
6. ISO's lifetimeISO was successfully launched by an Ariane 44P launcher from Europe's spaceport in Kourou, on 17 November 1995. Initially it was supposed to be operational for 20 months, but thanks to meticulous engineering and some good fortune the satellite's working life was stretched to more than 28 months: ISO unveiled the infrared universe until May 1998.Observing the cool universe requires cool instruments, ones working at temperatures close to absolute zero, minus 273 degrees C. Keeping the temperature this low is the task of the large liquid-helium cryostat on board ISO, filled before launch with 2286 litres of superfluid helium. This cryostat has made ISO one of the coolest objects in the universe. ISO's lifetime was limited by its helium supply; hence nearly all observations had to stop when this coolant liquid got depleted on April 8. However, ISO's farewell included a further last gift for the astronomers. A few of the detectors in the Short Wavelength Spectrometer (SWS), one of the four instruments on-board the satellite, could still be used up to May 10, long after the exhaustion of the liquid helium. 7. Ground stations tracking ISOThe Science Operations Centre at the ESA's Satellite Tracking Station at Villafranca (Spain) has been responsible for the control of the satellite. This is also where observations were scheduled. However, for scientific use ISO needed to be in continuous contact with a ground station. NASA's station at Goldstone (US) tracked ISO when it was obscured by the Earth from Villafranca.8. ISO orbitISO's highly-elliptical orbit had a perigee at around 1000 km; an apogee at 70500 km; and a period of almost 24 hours. The lowest parts of the orbit lay inside the Earth's van Allen belts of trapped electrons and protons. Inside these regions ISO's detectors were scientifically unusable due to effects caused by radiation impacts. ISO spent almost 17 hours per day outside the radiation belts and during this time all detectors could be operated.9. How many observations has ISO been performing per day?On average, ISO performed 45 observations per revolution (a period of almost 24 hours). Througout all of its lifetime -more than 900 revolutions- ISO completed successfully well over 26.000 scientific observations.10. How many scientific teams have made observations with ISO?Astronomers from all over the world asked for observing time on ISO. Their proposals went through a peer review process during which a time allocation commitee composed of independent outstanding scientists decided on the scientific merit of the proposed programmes and observations. Only proposals of the highest quality were accepted.On the whole, about one thousand proposals were accepted (each one consisting on average of 50 observations). Over 500 principal investigators have made observations with ISO. 11. Some questions ISO is helping to answer:The birth and death of the starsAs if stars wished to keep their privacy during these critical stages of their lives, their births and deaths usually occur within thick and opaque clouds of dust (the nebulae). But infrared beams manage to escape these dusty regions, enabling ISO to see them.The origin of planetsISO searched for discs -rings- of matter around stars, which are considered to be the first stage of planet formation -hence they are called 'protoplanetary discs'.The chemistry of the UniverseWhen scrutinizing selected objects ISO could detect the emission or absorption of infrared rays at particular wavelengths, or "lines" in a spectrum, revealing the presence of identifiable atoms, molecules and solids. The Short Wavelength Specrometer and the Long Wavelength Spectrometer, along with the photometer ISOPHOT and the camera ISOCAM, provided detailed chemical diagnoses of celestial objects.What are the planets' atmospheres made of?ISO spectrometers have also concentrated on our closest neighbours, the planets in the Solar System. In several cases -such as in the giant planets and even in Mars- the study of the atmospheres' chemical constituents has produced unexpected surprises.The evolving galaxiesHaving ISO in space gave astronomers special opportunities for the study of the history of the galaxies. By detecting infrared wavelengths that are hard to observe from the Earth, ISO has picked out very clearly the galaxies that are evolving most rapidly via periods of intensive starmaking, and has been able to detect infrared galaxies powered by active galactic nuclei.ISO has observed many galaxies at about half the age of the Universe by staring through a window in the dust of our own Milky Way Galaxy, called the Lockman Hole. In those galaxies that glow most brightly in the infrared, astronomers suspect that frantic star formation is in progress, in episodes called starbursts. In nearer galaxies, ISO's astronomers can relate strong infrared emissions to collisions and to violent eruptions in the galactic cores, which have punctuated the evolution of the galaxies. The farthest known galaxy observed by ISO is a quasar called BR 1202-0725, dating from a time when the Universe was less than one-tenth of its present age. Already it is dusty, indicating star birth and death has occured by this early stage. What is a comet made of and how does it behave on approaching the sun?The infrared wavelength region is useful for investigating comets because they are cold -the thermal emission of the comet nucleus and dusty atmosphere peaks at infrared wavelengths. In this emission region the chemical composition of the comet can be studied: the volatile molecular species, sublimated from cometary nucleus ices, can be identified through their fundamental bands of vibration, and are therefore the subject for high resolution spectroscopic observations.Infrared observations from the ground are limited to a few atmospheric windows, and this is an annoying restriction for investigating changes in the comet on its approaching to the sun. IR spectra of comets have been obtained for Comet Halley, but they were limited in spectral coverage, resolution or both. 12. Some of ISO's discoveriesMany of ISO's discoveries haven't come out yet because they are still being processed by the researchers. These are some of the results published so far. For up-to-date information please refer to ISO's Homepage on the Web. (URL: http://www.cosmos.esa.int/web/iso).Water throughout the universe!Because of the Earth's atmosphere acting as an opaque screen, only with ISO have astronomers been able to study the chemistry of the Universe in detail. One of the most mind-boggling discoveries they've made is that there's a lot of water vapor in the universe.Indeed, ISO's found the telltale signature of water in starforming regions; in the vicinity of stars at the end of their lives; in sources very close to the galactic centre; in the atmospheres of planets in the Solar System. On the whole, scientists estimate the total amount of water in our own galaxy to be millions of times the mass of the Sun.
Planet formation around a dying starAstronomers at the universities of Amsterdam, Louvain, Groningen and Utrecht have found proof that planets can form around old, dying stars. In the vicinity of the Red Rectangle, an old binary star in the Monoceros constellation, they have detected a ring of matter constituting the first stage of planet formation. Their results were published in Nature on 26 February 1998. It had previously been assumed that planets can form only round new-born stars.Click here for images and a more detailed description of the result. Fluoride molecules in interstellar spaceA team of astronomers from the United States and Germany discovered trace amounts of hydrogen fluoride gas in the near vacuum of interstellar space.Although approximately one hundred different kinds of molecules have been detected in interstellar space over the past 30 years, the discovery of hydrogen fluoride marks the first time that a molecule containing fluorine has been detected in an interstellar gas cloud. The discovery was reported in the Astrophysical Journal Letters. The astronomers searched for hydrogen fluoride molecules within a giant cloud of interstellar gas located near the centre of the Milky Way galaxy. The new observations were carried out with the Long Wavelength Spectrometer, one of four instruments on board ISO. Looking in the far-infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum, the astronomers observed the telltale signature of absorption by trace amounts of hydrogen fluoride gas. Click here for images and a more detailed description of the result. Studying a supernovaThe remnant of a supernova remains discernible for thousands of years after the explosion. The most recent supernova observed in the Milky Way Galaxy occurred little more than 300 years ago and the resulting nebulous object is called Cassiopeia A. ISO has made the first detailed examination of Cassiopeia A by infrared rays unobservable from the Earth's surface. It gives direct evidence of dust formation.Click here for images and a more detailed description of the result. The cosmic egg from which a star will hatchOne prize sought by ISO astronomers has been the detection of the earliest stages of star formation. Pre-stellar cores are egg-like objects hidden within a larger dust cloud. A cold, thick shell of dust obscures the interior, where gas collapses under gravity to make an embryonic star. By the time the dust has dispersed, and the object inside has hatched as a plainly visible star, the main event of star formation is complete. In the earliest stages, only radio waves and far-infrared rays can escape from the dust cloud, allowing us to observe the real origins of the stars.Derek Ward-Thompson of the Royal Observatory Edinburgh (UK) and his colleagues at Cambridge University and in France, first detected the pre-stellar core L1689B, using observations at sub-millimetre radio wavelengths, in the constellation Ophiuchus. It is a very young pre-stellar core, on the brink of collapsing to form a new star. Now the team has used ISO to make the first infrared images of L1689B using the photometer ISOPHOT at long infrared wavelengths, up to its limit of 240 microns. The shell of dust is so cold, at roughly minus 260 degrees Centigrade (or 13 K), it is undetectable even at short or medium infrared wavelengths. Astronomers can now combine ISO's results with observations of the same object and others like it, at sub-millimetre radio wavelengths, to build up a detailed picture of the earliest stages of star formation. Click here for images and a more detailed description of the result. Dust amid the galaxiesESA's Infrared Space Observatory ISO has detected dust for the first time in the apparently empty space between the galaxies. German and Finnish astronomers made the discovery in the northern constellation of Coma Berenices, where more than 500 galaxies swarm together in the Coma Cluster. The intergalactic dust is concentrated towards the centre of the cluster.In the past, astronomers have considered intergalactic space to be extremely clean. Except in the vast concentrations of stars, gas and dust that make up the galaxies themselves, the Universe was supposed to be filled only by very thin traces of invisible gas. ISO's detection of dust means that the Universe is less transparent than astronomers have assumed. Their cosmic window-pane is slightly dirty and large-scale inferences based on the brightnesses of distant galaxies and quasars may be affected. Click here for images and a more detailed description of the result. ISO's analysis of Comet Hale-BoppThe discovery of Comet Hale-Bopp occurred before ISO's launch in November 1995. When first observed by ISO in March and April 1996, the comet was still 700 million kilometres from the Sun, and almost as far from the Earth and ISO. With its privileged view of infrared wavebands inaccessible from the Earth's surface, ISO's spectrometer in ISOPHOT discovered that carbon dioxide was an important constituent of the comet's emissions of vapour. ISOPHOT measured the temperature of the dust cloud around Comet Hale-Bopp. In March 1996, when the comet was still more than 700 million kilometres from the Sun, the dust cloud was at minus 120 degrees C. When ISOPHOT made similar observations in October 1996, the comet was 420 million kilometres from the Sun, and the dust cloud had warmed to about minus 50 degrees C.Click here for more detailed description of the result. ISO reveals the energy source of luminous galaxiesObservations with ISO have revealed that the most famous of the enigmatic ultraluminous infrared galaxies (Arp220) is powered by an outburst of star formation, not by a central black hole. The same is true for all but one similar galaxies observed so far. Ultraluminous infrared galaxies (ULIRGs), the most luminous objects in the local universe, were detected in the 1980s by their prodigious emission of infrared radiation, but the origin of their enormous luminosities has yet remained unclear. The hopes of many astronomers were hence put on ISO, which allowed to study in unprecedented detail the infrared radiation, having wavelengths longer than visible light.Click here for images and a more detailed description of the result. Two galaxies collidingCollisions between galaxies, each containing billions of stars, are the biggest events since the origin of the Universe. They may occur often enough to play a major role in the evolution of galaxies, and they provide a major theme for ISO's research teams. Collisions trigger star formation within dense dust clouds. These are opaque to visible light, so that even the Hubble Space Telescope is blind to the events within them.One target for ISO's Camera was a pair of galaxies known as the Antennae, 60 million light-years away. The name comes from antenna-like streamers of stars torn from the galaxies by a collision. The galaxies look quite similar by visible light. With its ability to harvest and analyse infrared rays, ISO distinguishes between the different kinds of commotion provoked by the encounter. Click here for images and a more detailed description of the result. A galactic refrigeratorThe Long-Wavelength Spectrometer covered a range of the infrared spectrum entirely blotted out by the Earth's atmosphere. Instruments in high-flying aircraft and balloons have glimpsed some features in the sky at long infrared wavelengths, but only ISO offered a clear view. As a result the Long-Wavelength Spectrometer has been able to observe, in a wide variety of cosmic settings, radiation that plays an important part in cooling the Milky Way Galaxy.Emission at a wavelength of 158 microns (about a sixth of millimetre) come from ionized carbon atoms in the clouds that fill the spaces between stars. The Long-Wavelength Spectrometer has picked up the emissions from a region where stars are being born, from a dying star, from warm and cool clouds of dust and gas, and even from extremely cold clouds of hydrocarbons called infrared cirrus. Although completely invisible to the eye, the energy shed in this way may be equivalent to the light of a billion stars. It affects the energy budget - and therefore the temperature - of the Milky Way, and of other galaxies too. Click here for images and a more 13. ISO's last light and switch offISO was switched off on May 16 at 14:00h (CET), thereby bringing to a close the highly-successful in-orbit operations of the ISO mission. Prior to that, ISO's orbit was changed to force the satellite to burn up in the atmosphere, thus contributing to preserving the environment in space.For more information see ISO/ESA Information Note, ESA switches its infrared space telescope off 14. The Post Operations and Active Archive PhasesIn the Post-operations Phase, running until end 2001, ESA's ISO Data Centre developed and refined the ISO Data Archive to offer the ISO data to the worldwide astronomical community, and together with the several National Data Centres in various member states and in the US (listed below) worked to fill the archive with the best systematically processed and calibrated data products which could be achieved for the huge ISO database. ISO's Legacy Archive, containing this reference product set, was released at the end of February 2002. During ISO's Active Archive Phase, which runs from January 2002 to December 2006, the ISO Data Centre continues to work with active National Data Centres in The Netherlands, Germany and the U.K. to support the community in its use of the ISO data and to capture back into the archive as much as possible of the user knowledge so as to maximize the long-term value and usability of the archive.15. ISO's successorsMore often than not, the number of questions a scientific mission solves is not as good an indicator of its success as the number of new questions it generates. And ISO has been a successful mission from every point of view: no doubt more space telescopes are needed to do more infrared astronomy.The NASA's infrared space telescope called Spitzer Space Telescope (formely known as SIRTF) was launched into space by a Delta rocket from Cape Canaveral, Florida on 25 August 2003. Further ahead in time ESA is preparing the Herschel mission (formerly known as FIRST), a space telescope for far infrared and submillimetre astronomy due to be launched in 2007. |

Sorry my bad, I forgot I still had -O3 in my CXXFLAGS from testing another program. I recompiled with -O2 like normal and it works. Thanks for the patch!
figue commented on 2017-03-04 09:39
@gearshift :(
I checked and I can access just fine to Gmail for instance. Can you try disabling all addons and try again? Maybe your issue is with Spyblock or LibreJS addons...
gearshift commented on 2017-03-03 21:20
Thanks @figue but unfortunately I'm still getting SEC_ERROR_OCSP_SERVER_ERROR. Maybe the Fedora people did something different?
They also fixed this bug along side the first patch in their release so it might be worth it to try it too.
figue commented on 2017-03-03 18:19
@gearshift thanks. Just pushed a new release. Can you try?
gearshift commented on 2017-03-03 16:36
I'm having the same issue that others have mentioned in this thread:
It looks like there's a simple fix by applying this very small change. Could you please include it?
figue commented on 2017-01-22 13:29
Hi chftyrol,
I usually use "makepkg -sicC" to build my packages, so I've never that problem. Anyway, it doesn't hurt, so -p added to mkdir.
chftyrol commented on 2017-01-21 10:50
Hi, correct me if I'm wrong but I believe at line 69 of this PKGBUILD the mkdir command is missing the -p option.
Without it upgrading the package (from an existing installation) fails in the prepare phase, because the $srcdir/path directory already exists.
Thank you.
cert38 commented on 2017-01-19 21:39
Hey @figue,I compile icecat either using pacaur or the classic abs/makepkg way. The outcome is the same. I never had this problem before though. Your PKGBUILD usually works like a charm.
It definitely has something to do with the permissions. When I reset them icecat works indeed. Why the permissions aren't set correctly this time is beyond me. I'll re-compile and install icecat and check again tomorrow.
Thanks a bunch!
figue commented on 2017-01-18 22:05
Hi @cert38,
are you compiling IceCat or using some third party package? Because:
[5.3.1]figue@pluto:~> ls -ld /usr/lib/icecat
drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096 ene 8 16:47 /usr/lib/icecat
And about the second issue, could be related to the first? I've never get that...
You can try using icecat-bin in AUR instead...
cert38 commented on 2017-01-18 19:26
I'm installing icecat through pacaur.
First I had to change the permission on /usr/lib/icecat/, which was only 750 after the installation.
But now I get the following error message when I try to fire icecat up:
"Could not find the GNU runtime."
At first glance I can't see what's missing though.

This example design shows how to program the PL using the following Linux instructions and a raw binary bitstream.
mknod /dev/xdevcfg c 259 0 > /dev/null
cat system.bit.bin > /dev/xdevcfg
Note: An Example Design is an answer record that provides technical tips to test a specific functionality on Zynq-7000.
A tip can be a snippet of code, a snapshot, a diagram or a full design implemented with a specific version of the Xilinx tools.
It is up to the user to "update" these tips to future Xilinx tools releases and to "modify" the Example Design to fulfill their needs.
Limited support is provided by Xilinx on these Example Designs.

Xilinx Tools Version | Vivado/SDK 2015.1 |
Other details | -- |
In order to use the Linux driver for devcfg to program the PL, the bitstream needs to be converted to a binary.
The BootGen tool is used for this operation.
The BootGen tool uses an input file called a "BIF" which outlines the structure of the boot image.
An example of a BIF file is:
Note that the [bootloader] tag is needed to denote which ELF binary is the First Stage Boot Loader for this design.
In addition, note that the .BIT PL bitstream line is optional if PL programming is not needed during the boot process.
Open a command line shell (for example, cmd.exe on Windows or a shell terminal in Linux) and source the Xilinx tools environment.
Bootgen is executed in the following manner:
bootgen -image <bootimage>.bif -split bin -o i BOOT.BIN
In the above example, the .BIF specified is the one created above.
Using BootGen with the "-split" option will create binary versions of each of the input files from the .BIF and output them all as independent files rather than the usual monolithic boot image file.
The following file is created:
This binary output file can be used by Linux to directly program the Zynq PL.
Place the .BIT.BIN on an SD card and then boot into Linux.
Once Linux is booted, mount the SD card and then create a device node for the Zynq devcfg block:
mknod /dev/xdevcfg c 259 0 > /dev/null
Next, use the Linux "cat" command to stream the PL bitstream in the Zynq PL:
cat <path_to_storage_media>/<pl_bitstream_name>.bit.bin > /dev/xdevcfg
The PL is now programmed.
This can be verified by observing the "DONE" LED on the board or by DEVCFG.INT_STS(PCFG_DONE_INT) register value.
NOTE 1: The -split option has been removed from Bootgen in the 2013.2 release and added back in 2013.3 release.
To generate a separate bit swapped bit file in bin format for DEVICECFG, the promgen command line from an ISE install can be used.
promgen -p bin -data_width 32 -b -u 0x0 <design_name>.bit
NOTE 2: Starting from 2014.1 Bootgen has an option called "process_bitstream" and it will generate the BIN file which can be used for PL to configure from PS via Devcfg.
bootgen -image all.bif -w -process_bitstream bin
BIF File:
The file system.bit.bin is generated in the current working directory.
NOTE 3: In a later version of Linux Kernel the /dev/xdevcfg might be auto generated.
When you encounter "mknod: /dev/xdevcfg: File exists" warning message after running the "mknod /dev/xdevcfg c 259 0 > /dev/null" command you can just run the next command.

This iron structure is like a open roofed pavillion --I liked looking up at it to see how it intersected with the colorful house.
I'm impressed that the Sunnyside Piazza community managed to get the City to ok putting big planters right on the street...not to mention painting the street and sidewalk lime green! How did they manage that??
In the center of the street is a giant sunflower. It's somewhat faded, but very happy-hippy-looking nonetheless. If you find yourself in this area (it's right off Belmont), swing by and take a walk. You'll probably love it..... like I did.
I also went to the art meeting at O'Connor's today. Check out the art that showed up for discussion HERE.

Hear the epic live set Skinnerbox played at Fusion Festival
We have the technology. We have the capability to play live sets on mainstages. And for a brilliant example of that, look no further than the frenetic, exquisitely hyperactive acid performances of Skinnerbox. Their set at Fusion Festival from this weekend demonstrates that you can command massive mobs of dance lovers outdoors with live sets, too. And maybe you thought such things were confined to chin-scratching handfuls of nerds.
Ableton hacks: map anything, even Kontakt and Reaktor
Isotonik's £22 PrEditor is the powerful mapping functionality Ableton forgot. It lets you customize the mappings of a variety of controllers to your music software, opening up custom controller arrangements and tailored interactions to support the way you play. And the latest version does still more. Hackers and patchers will love this – whatever tool they use. If you use Reaktor, that environment is available – doubly useful now because of Reaktor's beautiful Blocks modular environment. (There are quite a few things I prefer in Reaktor, so being able to map its controls to my Push means I may completely …
Watch a live looper performance troll itself
YouTube is a mystery – completely arbitrary videos getting down votes for no reason, arbitrarily angry comments, spam, conspiracy theories… well, one artist has decided, if you can't beat 'em, join 'em. Artist Arkaei has made a very respectable live looper performance using Ableton Live and Push 2. And rather than wait, he's delivered it with its own angry comments. Call it con-troll-erism. (Uff, let me really apologize for that.)
Someone recorded an Ableton tech support prank call
Okay, obvious disclaimer. Please do not prank call Ableton tech support. They're busy, hard-working people. But … this is hilarious (as is the fact that it's labeled as a tech support call "from Berghain"). A custom-built Launchpad and Live hacked to run inside Linux? Going with the flow and working the audience when a glitching Live set randomly launches clips? At least this scenario sounds like a plausible one involving a regular CDM reader. Listen:
Movement is a do-everything, musical rhythmic effect
Movement is here – and it's a little scary. The folks at Output have some weird way of dialing directly into the zeitgeist of what we want from production these days, and delivering it in an easy form. They did that with reversed samples (REV), with vocals (EXHALE), and now they're doing it in an atypically musical multi-effect with loads of rhythmic and side-chaining features. This isn't just another delay or something like that. It's an entire effects toolbox built around rhythm and modulation, in a way that's unusually accessible.
Get a free pack that recreates Prince's signature drum sounds
With so much to talk about in recent days about Prince's legacy, it's possible to overlook just what a deep impact he had on production and sound design. Working with Roger Linn's classic boxes, the LinnDrum and LM-1, the artist left an indelible mark on the sound of pop. And you don't have to slavishly copy those contributions: by learning how they're put together, you can understand what went into them and follow your own sound. Just that sort of education in sound design – something for fans and students – is embodied in a free download for Ableton Live …
Shiftee takes us inside his latest virtuosic laptop DJ routine
Master turntablist Shiftee has posted a sharp routine. It's a clever product placement for Razer's laptops, but – well, it's more than that. It's an ad for laptops in general, at a time when DJing has increasingly come to mean "showing up with a couple of USB sticks." And it's sort of an ad for being DJ Shiftee. So, we asked Mr. Shiftee to show us what was going on.
Make Novation Circuit your own, with updates, browser tools
When Novation's little Circuit came out, it was already an appealing, simple box for making music. You got two polysynths and a four-part drum machine built in, coupled with a step sequencer, RGB pads and encoders for control, and MIDI, all for just a hair above $300. At the same time, though, you were restricted to the built-in sounds. Today, Novation are unveiling a bunch of updates that open up the machine to more customization – to personalizing it for your own use.
Tested: Chromaphone 2 has kinder, gentler acoustic modeling
If it feels at times like everything has been done in sound synthesis, every new sound uncovered, then look to physical modeling for a way forward. This collection of techniques simulates the way sound is produced by acoustic objects. Applied Acoustics Systems (AAS) of Montreal has been one of the leaders in that field – and they've got a new product out that might be the friendliest offering in this field yet.
SX on how they make electronic gospel so good it "Hurts"
SX are the embodiment of just how dynamic DIY music can be. The Belgian duo, now in their second outing, make music that's unmistakably pop, but with plenty of raw power humming under the hood. And Benjamin and Stefanie are fully invested in their collaboration in every last detail of production, from studio to music video to live. I wanted to talk to them primarily about how that creative process came together.

The France international has stated that he will do his utmost to make sure his compatriot feels welcome at his new club, following his arrival from Lens
The 18-year-old centre-back signed a six-year deal with Real Madrid on Monday to complete his transfer to the Spanish capital from Lens, and Benzema has stressed he will do his utmost to make his young compatriot feel at home at his new surroundings.
"It is an immense fortune to play at this club and he has to seize the opportunity. I welcome him. He can count on me to talk to him and help him in his new life in Madrid," Benzema was quoted as saying by AS.
"Zinedine Zidane has recommended him and that says it all. I think Varane knew the Madrid train only happens once in a lifetime."
Benzema joined Real Madrid from Lyon at the tender age of 21 in 2009, and initially struggled to adapt to life in La Liga, but eventually found his feet in his second season and appears eager to ensure Varane will not encounter similar problems.

Looking for a rug that combines the best of both style and durability? Then consider a Rio. Hand woven in India of 100% New Zealand wool, we have re-imagined typical flat weaves by way of contemporary design. Each Rio also features nuanced variations in color throughout the rug for added beauty. Best of all, these rugs are durable, reversible, and crafted to withstand plenty of foot traffic.
Product Care
With proper care and cleaning of your rug, you can help ensure your investment will last longer. All that is absolutely required to care for your rug is regular vacuuming (without using a beater bar) and spot cleaning stains. However, with a few simple additional steps, like using a rug pad and turning your rug 180 degrees once a year to ensure even wear and fading, you can further extend the life of your rug.
This item ships FREE via either UPS or FedEx within the delivery time frame quoted. If the rug is oversized, it will ship by common carrier and may require a longer lead time for delivery. If you have any questions or if you are interested in expedited shipping, please contact customer service at 1-877-RUG-HOME (877-784-4663).
We at Rug & Home want you to be 100% satisfied with your purchase and, to ensure this, we have a convenient 7-day in-home-trial-policy for all rugs, art, mirrors, lamps, and accessories.

Wednesday Hodgepodge Vol 67
Interesting, my grandson's, Wadiah, name means "humble" in Arabic. He makes me very proud as do my children and grandchildren.
What keeps me humble is the fact that in an instant I know all that I am proud of can disappear. I would rather be thankful than proud.
2. Where is the catch-all (aka dumping ground) in your house?
This is a big "No, no" in our home. I am constantly removing my hubby's keys and wallet from the countertop in the kitchen. He has a dresser and a desk for that stuff!
3. Do you make it a point to visit State/National Parks when you travel or even in your own hometown? What's your favorite?
Yes, and once the hubs retires, we plan to visit as many as possible. Yosemite is my favorite and I cannot wait to return.
As far as being honorable, I would say a person who stands by his/her word, tells the truth, doesn't curse or swear or wish bad upon others, and treats everyone fairly. My father was all of these things--and more.
5. Angel's food or Devil's food-which cake do you prefer?
No choice when it comes to chocolate. Devil's food it is.
6. What's the most recent road trip you've taken? Where did you go and how many hours did you spend in the car? Do you like to zoom to your destination without stopping or leisurely wind your way there with stops along the way? What is your car snack of choice?
Since we are now living in Europe and traveling from one country to another is like traveling from one state to another back in the U.S., car trips are very frequent for us. The last one took us to Venice, Italy. I refuse to go non-stop. I'm a photographer and everything is new to us so we are often stopping along the way. It's the journey, not the destination! So we plan for frequent stops.
Car snacks for me are apples or pretzels and the prerequisite diet Pepsi, of course.
The packed lunch contained a turkey and cheese sandwich, an apple juice box, a bag of chips, and a banana. You can read the story here. Your thoughts?
All I have to say is, "Big Brother." How can this justify the salary of a school lunch inspector? Next, we will have them in our homes.

- Forum: Classic Menswear
- Thread: Question about "Tucking In"
I understand that I should get clothes that fit, but what sort of size pants should I get? Unless I am mistaken, my inseam is 34", and I usually get size 36 waist- but these sit pretty high on my body which just further reduces the length of my torso. If I end up buying pants with a larger waist I feel like they make me look wider (might not be true and just a mental thing) and don't fit right either.
My body is good for football - not for looking good...

Little Lemon Creams
Recipe by Panda Rose
I stumbled across this recipe yesterday whilst looking for something quick and easy. I did not have any lemons in store except for bottled juice, so I made the alternative and used the beautiful navel oranges that are available instead. It was superb. It is a Rachel Allen recipe which is always good to follow. I halved the recipe and still found it very sweet so next time I will decrease the amount of sugar. I have described the recipe as I found it, adjust the sugar to your taste. I don't like very sweet things.
See Discussion:
- Dissolve the sugar in the cream and bring to the boil.
- Simmer for 3 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and add the lemon juice and some grated lemon rind.
- Spoon into pretty glassed or dishes and leave to set.
- I put some orange segments on the top after it had set to make it look pretty.
- ( I still added a bit of lemon juice with the orange juice, partly because it was too sweet, but I think it helps it to set better with lemon juice.).

There are some great people working in the services group in Newburgh and Montreal
Very poor development and integration of products. Services group is constantly held accountable for the poor performance of development by giving free of charge hours to the customer. In turn they are punished by not receiving bonuses because of this. Bonuses are only based on billable hours not performance. Salary is the same. No accountability in dev or management for the delivery of consistently poor products. Management changes every 6-12 months and is not consistent. The same managers are just shuffled around, no improvement. Extreme favoritism by management to some individuals so they will not get FOC projects. Services is punished for helping customer support, this is not considered approved non-billable time and doesn't count to bonuses. This leads to poor customer care.
Advice to Management
Clean up your development dept, the same problems have existed for years. Reward people for their work not billable hours determined by someone else.

Home * Board Representation * Bitboards * Sliding Piece Attacks
If applied for move generation we better traverse directions rather than sliding pieces. Naturally this approach becomes less efficient, the less sliders are processed in parallel. Of course, one should avoid processing empty sets.
Up one Level
This is basically about how to calculate attack-sets of sliding pieces for evaluation and move-generation purposes. While the attack-sets of pawn, king and knight are only dependent on their origin square, sliding pieces like rook, bishop or queen have to consider occupancy, as pieces may block the attack-ray in one particular direction. |
Carina Jørgensen, Queen's Star [1] |
Table of Contents
Move targets
Move target sets from attack-sets require intersection- with opponent pieces for captures
- with all empty squares for quiet moves
Single Sliding Piece Attacks
The single sliding piece, a rook, bishop or queen is determined by square index, likely from a bitscan of a piece-wise bitboard serialization of a sliding piece bitboard from a standard board-definition.On an empty Board
Sliding piece attack sets or their disjoint subsets on lines or rays on an otherwise empty board are that simple than none sliding pieces. They are often base of further attack calculations.Tinker's Approach
Brian Richardson proposed a move generation approach as used in Tinker based on rook or bishop attacks on the otherwise empty board [2]. While serializing all potential targets, he tests for legality inside the loop body, that is whether the inbetween squares of origin and target are empty. This is not in the "real" bitboard spirit to determine attack sets in advance rather than to test individual elements of a superset belonging to a set, but at least it allows traversing disjoint target sets i.e. for captures in quiescence search.By Calculation
Some bit-twiddling ray-wise and line-wise approaches, unfortunately not always for all directions.- Blockers and Beyond
- Classical Approach
Bitfoot - A/B Bitboards - Shifted Bitboards
- Subtracting a Rook from a Blocking Piece
- Reverse Bitboards
- Hyperbola Quintessence
- Obstruction Difference
- Exploding Bitboards
By Occupancy Lookup
Covering line-attacks in one run, magic bitboards even covers rook- and bishop-attacks in one run.- First Rank Attacks
- Occupancy of any Line
- Rotated Bitboards
- Rotated Indices
- Kindergarten Bitboards
Sliding Piece Attacks in OliThink - Hashing Dictionaries
- Congruent Modulo Bitboards
- Magic Bitboards
BMI2 - PEXT Bitboards - Sherwin Bitboards
- Titboards
Multiple Sliding Pieces
For bitsets with multiple sliding pieces one can apply a fill algorithm in each of the eight ray-directions to determine attacks. Since we keep disjoint directions, there is still a unique 1:1 relation from each bit of the target set to it's source square. This approach is great to determine target sets we may reach in two or more moves. One may use the union of rooks and queen(s), respectively bishops or queen(s) though.If applied for move generation we better traverse directions rather than sliding pieces. Naturally this approach becomes less efficient, the less sliders are processed in parallel. Of course, one should avoid processing empty sets.

Mikey pissed the day away doing no work and then immediately left right after his boss did. What a clock puncher!

Top 10 Vines Of 2014
Vine boomed in 2014. The video-sharing site came out of nowhere and made overnight celebrities out of six-second videos. While it's popularity has since tapered, let's look back at 10 Great Vines you should bow down before and sacrifice animals to.
How I Became Team Reynold's Wrap…
The story of how comedian/writer/neat guy Robert Punchur (former unofficial spokesperson of Glad Kitchen Supplies) allied himself with the more powerful, shiny, and protective Reynold's Wrap.
The Great Glad Catastrophe
Comedian Robert Punchur and Glad Kitchen Supplies had a fun Twitter conversation about product quality and homicide coverup.

The What Would I Say Ap scans past Facebook posts, comments, and captions in order to understand your vernacular and string common phrases into potential statuses.

Robert Punchur Comedy posts from WHAT WOULD I SAY Ap
The professional side of me likes to post on my Facebook fan page once a day, but the personal side feels ashamed of our own vanity. Therefore, we were very relieved when WWIS bot offered a solution. The new ap simply scans all past posts, comments, and captions to estimate a phrase I'd be likely to say. So to give myself a break from faking consistent originality, here's some things I'd probably post anyways…

In Shifting Sands Directed by Scott Ritter (Five Rivers, opens December 27, at the Quad) The UN's former chief weapons inspector in Iraq, Scott Ritter has caught grief for veering wildly between wanting to kick Saddam's ass and blasting the U.S. for warmongering. Hawks loved the voluble ex-marine when he was painting a grim scenario of Iraq's weaponry. These days they hate him because he's now telling anyone who will listen that U.S. officialswhether under Clinton or Dubyanever wanted Iraq to disarm peacefully. Ritter's point is that the U.S. has tried to set up confrontations between the inspectors and Iraq to give the U.S. an excuse to bomb Baghdad and oust Saddam. Why should anyone be surprised by Ritter's disillusionment and schizo behavior? He was a pawn in a deadly chess match, and pawns get sacrificed. Ritter himself aside, his 90-minute documentary is an interesting cross between a Frontline exposé and World's Scariest Weapons Inspections Videos. And basic truths seep out sideways: Yes, it's all about oil. And, yes, Saddam is a demon who's perfect for further demonization. Ward Harkavy
Kaante Directed by Sanjay Gupta (Pritesh Nandy, at the Loews State) Shot in Los Angeles, this Bollywood thug meditation is another in a recent spate of crossover bids aiming for stateside audiences. Rounding out at two-and-a-half hours, Gupta's film is ostensibly concerned with a bank heist gone awry, butactually seems more intent on proving that five tough guys in suits walking towards the camera in slow motion really is the coolest thing ever. Similar Reservoir Dogs homagesbroken up by some typically incongruous Bolly-pop featuring the requisite scantily clad Indian J.Lostand in for plot, creating a slothfulhybrid of Hollywood gangster flicks and genre garishness that may be a new animal. Just like last summer's Fish From Hell. Nat Johnson

Church On Sunday Lyrics
Artist: Green Day
Album: Warning
Today is the first day of the rest of our lives
Tomorrow is too late to pretend
everything's all right
I'm not getting any younger as long as you don't get any older
I'm not going to state that yesterday never was
Bloodshot deadbeat and lack of sleep
Making your mascara bleed
tears down your face
leaving traces of mistakes
If I promise to go to church on Sunday
will you go with me on Friday night?
If you live with me, I'll die for you
and this compromise
I hereby solemnly swear to tell the whole truth
And nothing but the truth is what I'll ever hear from you
"trust" is a dirty word that comes only from such a liar
but "respect" is something I will earn...
If you have faith

On Wednesday, January 4, 10 fire halls across the city of Vancouver will be distributing free salt to residents between 9:00 am and 8:00 pm.
Supply will be limited, so residents are asked to take only as much as they need. Residents are also asked to bring their own bucket(s) and shovel(s), with a maximum of two buckets per household or business.
City officials and fire crews are hoping to provide enough salt to help people clear their sidewalks and driveways.
In return for the free salt, people are asked to consider making a donation to local charities.
Vancouver fire halls offering free salt on January 4, 2017:
Whether you decide to pick-up the free salt or not, it's advised you should clean up around your property immediately.
The city of Vancouver has currently employed additional staff to enforce clean-up warnings and fines.
Fines start at $75.

A Welsh Vegetarian Menu for St David's Day
30 comments:
What an impressive array of Welsh recipes for St. David's Day, Mango. You should really think about putting together a cookbook - your recipes are that unique and vegetarian! Wish I had some of those pakoras now.
And I love seeing those snowdrops; mine are still buried until mounds of snow, but it won't be long before they pop through - the first sign of spring, here in the Hudson Valley. Can't wait!Love the welsh theme! If I was with my boyfriend this St. David's Day I was planning a welsh themed day (as he is welsh).
I love welsh cakes, his Mum makes the best ones! I've never tried before. I came to uni today and they were selling what they called welsh cakes, but they were nothing like them!- Judith1 March 2011 at 22:47
I made the rarebit risotto today, as directed, using 100g sharp Cheddar, and found it lovely, warm and creamy. Just the thing for a day with a minus 28C temperature! I hope you have a good holiday, mangocheeks. And, Happy St David's Day.
ReplyDelete Thank you Sue.
I woud recommend the Welsh cakes - made fresh they just melt in your mouth and the smell is gorgeously sweet.
Thanks Funkbunny.
What part of Wales did you grow up in?
Its kinda sweet to read that you dressed up for St Davids Day. I never ever had to dress up on St David's day :)
Thank you Kath x
Thank you Ruth.
Guess where I first saw my first daffs of the season - not Wales, but Essex :-D
Thank you so much Barbara.
The thought does cross my mind now and again. Who knows, it may happen, but I wish to Thank you for your confidence in me and my recipes. Really does mean a lot to me.
Hope your snowdrops start peeping through :)Thank you Zoe.
Shame you did not get the opportunity to make a Welsh feast, maybe next year.
I agree with you about Welsh cakes - yum! Once you've had the real thing, subs are not acceptable.
Thank you Mama.
The potato soup was very filling.
Thank you affectioknit.
Thanks Dan.
So what did you make for your lovely Welsh Mrs?
Thank you so much Taz.
May I ask, what part of Wales you grew up in?
Take care xxThank you so much Fay.
So lovely to hear from you :)
It took me a while to find, but I used a cookie cutter. The Welsh dragon is a very intricate creature and even with my patience I would not have been able to capture the detail.
Thank you so much Judith.
I'm so delighted to read that you made the 'Welsh rarebit risotto'. Moreso, that you found it tasty and warming. Your right, it certainly is a welcoming dish for a day with a minus 28C temperature!
I do hope its much warmer now :)
Thank you so much for repaying the compliment and coming by Wendy aka duchess_declutter. Thank you also for choosing to become a follower. I do appreciate it. Do hope you get to make the sweet potato falafels.
PS Every blog starts small and then grows with time, your will bloom too :)
Well whatever brought you here Joanna - Thank you for coming by and leaving a lovely comment.
I used a Welsh biscuit cutter for the shortbread. I know you can purchase it online.
Thank you so much Theanne.
Thanks Johanna GGG.

The shape of the new data center
This article is part of the Storage magazine issue of Vol. 2 No. 3 May 2003
The data center of the future will certainly have more powerful computers, networks and storage than today's data centers. However, if that's all the future holds, it will just be a larger, faster, cheaper version of the present, and that won't be much of a step forward. Change to one pillar can bring the whole architecture down, because the pillars are not independent of each other. This model (above) is actually layered, as the diagram of the storage infrastructure (below) demonstrates. The goal at each level is to use agnostic components. A better approach is to conceive of the architecture as the sum of agnostic components. Changes to each will change the overall shape, but not destroy the functionality. We're at a point where we need to move past a feeds-and-speeds approach or even just a checklist of standards compliance and develop, evaluate and deploy products that enable a balanced architectural approach. This will allow us to respond to changes in the business and the continuing evolution of technology much more ...
