I'm so happy for Adele!!!
Need more examples of Adele's continued chart dominance?
To recap, here are some of the records that Adele has already attained:
- "21" has spent the most weeks - 23 - at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 for an album by a female artist.
- "21" spent its first 39 weeks on the Billboard 200 in the top five, passing Michael Jackson's "Bad" (38 weeks, 1987-88) for the most consecutive weeks in the top five dating to an album's debut.
- The set's lead single "Rolling in the Deep" appeared on 12 Nielsen BDS-based Billboard airplay charts, including those covering pop, rock, R&B/hip-hop and even Latin formats, making it the most widely crossed-over hit of the past 25 years.
- "Someone Like You" became the first song featuring only vocals and piano accompaniment to top the Hot 100.
- Following her breakout 2011, Adele became the first woman to sweep three of Billboard's signature year-end honors in a single year: top artist, top Billboard 200 album and top Hot 100 song.
Here's another.
On this week's Hot 100, "Deep" spends a 63rd week on the list and "Someone" remains charted for a 37th week, making for an even, and fitting, 100 weeks on the Hot 100 combined for the two former No. 1 songs.
No artist had previously charted two songs concurrently on the Hot 100 whose total chart weeks reached at least 100 weeks.
Although I have her 2 CDs and Chasing Pavements and Daydreamer are my favorites - I still cannot comprehend the hype surrounding her vocals. Agreed that she can sing and color her phrasing with emotions, but I dont see any spectacular reason that sets her apart from lets say, Eva Cassidy or even the superb Bonnie Raitt.
It's also the fact that Adele is powerhouse vocalist as well. She has one of the most powerful voices in the business currently. Combine that with the fact that she currently has a hugely successful CD and she sings live, Adele is going to receive a lot of praise for her vocals.
who's mad at the queen?
You're just a ball of yarn and this pussy is done playing with you
Oh, and hew else?
Adele > solar systems.
you know you've arrived when your haters get their panties in a bunch because you've stomped their fav artist into the dirt
You're just a ball of yarn and this pussy is done playing with you
It's because of her realness, she doesn't try to be a fashion model, she doesn't oversing, she doesn't sing trite songs about getting drunk at the club, and she makes better r&b than half of her af american counterparts. If beyonce wants to call herself an r&b singer she should put down the heels and corny pop tart sexually charged radio hits and take notes.
Also, this is why
You're just a ball of yarn and this pussy is done playing with you
^Maybe that's why we should redefine "diva".

and Ill run to behold your sacrifice..."
You're just a ball of yarn and this pussy is done playing with you
I bet she will certified diamond (I think that is 10X plat) by the summer. She still has some more hits on that cd if they chose to release them.
All I want, ain't no other, we together, I'll remember, sweet love, all night long - All Night / Beyonce.
Quoted for truth. Rumour has it, one and only, take it all, he won't go. Adele needs to slow down she is ruining other people's careers with this music, no one can go back to corny ass microwave chicken nugget songs like "s&m" or "run the world" when she's serving homemade gumbo like this.
You're just a ball of yarn and this pussy is done playing with you
You're just a ball of yarn and this pussy is done playing with you
And the success of "21" let a lot of people (re)-discover "19" - for an older release it's crazy how high it has charted this time around, got up to #4 around Grammy time.
Congrats to her.
I read an article the other week, can't remember where, about a major contributor to her sucess is her being white. It had a lot of truth to it even though I thought 'what a load of crap' before I fully read it. If a black artist came out with something similar, no-one is all that interested. But because she is a white, british girl with a soulful voice everyone is in love.
Not meaning to hate on her, shes a lovely lady! Serious question though, if she were black, do you think she'd be as succesful?
She can flop for the rest of her life and still have accomplished more than most entertainers.
guiness book of world records? check.
over 10 million albums sold? check.
ass full of grammys? check.
musical icon? check.
her place in the history books is solidified, she could retire and eat pizza and drink beer (her favorite pasttimes) on an island somewhere and rest comfortably now.
You're just a ball of yarn and this pussy is done playing with you
i won't deny that, i felt the same way about justin timberlakes success. a black man releasing the same exact music as he did would have flopped, her redemption is that she's making soul music in a time where most charttopping black artists are going the urban, hip hop route so the public is hungry for genuine soul music no matter who it comes from.
You're just a ball of yarn and this pussy is done playing with you
Lauryn Hill still has people feigning for a "proper" 2nd CD.
So the answer to that, is probable. I won't say yes or no.
Although there are still several black soul artists that are getting accolades but not as much of the "shine" as Adele is currently getting(Jill Scott, Erykah Badu minus the nudity flap, Mary J. Blige), that doesn't mean if she were black that she would all of a sudden not be as successful - but sadly it might mean she wouldn't have as BROAD an audience.
"Theres death on the horizon,

You're just a ball of yarn and this pussy is done playing with you
Album has legs, which you don't see much of these days, it's been about a year and a half since it came out, and even now, if there's not a huge album coming out, it still has a shot at being the #1 album in the country. Very few albums camp out that high on the charts for that long. If there's an album to compare it to, I'd say Fleetwood Mac's "Rumours". Another excellent collection of pop-crafted beak-p songs. Maybe not the world's favorite album, but one that has become such a part of the time period, and pop music in general, that people will be referencing it and name-checking it from here On out.
She won't top this one - who could? She might not even come close ever again. But truth is - she may not need to.
Re: race. Would she be as popular if she were black? I'd venture a yes - if she were marketed the same way. Adele isn't marketed as masturbatory fodder first, music second. I'm willing to bet one of the people who like her music aren't even overtly aware of what she looks like, and in this day and age, hat's a minor miracle. The other artists Mouf mentions are good, but their image is a lot further forward in people's minds.
Preach! Topping this will be absolutely impossible short of a musical miracle, but this is one more hit album than most aspiring singers will ever produce. Massively successful.
On another note, how about Ray Charles drown in my own tears for my audition which is next tuesday?
You're just a ball of yarn and this pussy is done playing with you
Oh I definitely think she'd still be successful if she were black. Shes got talent and her material is good (if not to everyones taste) and that will always sell, if marketed properly. Though I do think that being white helped propel her into that realm of recognition and stardom that many black artists never reach, even though they are just as talented.
congrats to her. i'm a hater, not a fan of her music at all but i can't even hate on this. i hope she goes diamond.
one thing about the closet/you don't have to hurry/it will be bad tomorrow/so brother, don't you worry
Slayer-Adele? Is that a new Bastard-Pop mix?
she probably will go diamond. Wow that'd be the first diamond album in a long time in the US.
Back on the Billboard 200, Adele's "21" returns to No. 1 for a 24th week, selling 75,000 (up 30%). The set is basking in the glow of the singer's NBC TV special, "Adele Live in London," which aired on June 3. "21" holds the most frames at No. 1 since Prince & the Revolution's "Purple Rain" soundtrack also spent 24 weeks atop the list in 1984 and 1985. Only eight albums -- including "21" -- have ruled for at least 24 weeks.*
"21" has never left the top 10 in its entire 68-week chart run, dropping only as low as No. 7 on the Dec. 10, 2011, chart. It debuted at No. 1 on the March 12, 2011, tally.*

And right away to be honest! I need some new Adels tunes to wear out after 21.
Adele Pregnant With First Child
Adele is expecting her first child with boyfriend Simon Konecki, the 24-year-old singer announced Friday (June 28).
"I'm delighted to announce that Simon and I are expecting our first child together," she wrote on her blog. "I wanted you to hear the news direct from me, obviously we're over the moon and very excited but please respect our privacy at this precious time. Yours always, Adele xx." Adele's website went down -- likely due to capacity problems -- shortly after she posted the big news.
Adele discussed her relationship with 37-year-old charity CEO Konecki on her own blog in January and in a Vogue interview after he accompanied her to the 2012 Grammy Awards. "He's proud of me, but he don't care about what I do or what other people think," she boasted to Vogue.
Adele's "21" earned 24 nonconsecutive weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and has sold 9.4 million copies to date according to Nielsen SoundScan.

- Ben Adida(Harvard University)
Typical web sessions can be hijacked easily by a network eavesdropper in attacks that have come to be designated "sidejacking." The rise of ubiquitous wireless networks, often unprotected at the transport layer, has significantly aggravated this problem. While SSL can protect against eavesdropping, its usability disadvantages often make it unsuitable when the data is not considered highly confidential. Most web-based email services, for example, use SSL only on their login page and are thus vulnerable to sidejacking.

It wasn't a pretty sight to behold, but it was still exactly what North Henderson boys basketball coach Gary Pittillo wanted -- a gritty Western Highlands Conference victory at home.
The Knights had a poor shooting night from the field but countered with an excellent night at the free-throw line to take a 64-52 win over Mountain Heritage on Tuesday night at North.
North, which will host Owen on Friday, improves to 8-7 overall and 5-5 in the WHC, while Heritage slips to 8-8 and 4-6.
In the opening girls game, the Lady Knights looked like they were well on their way to upsetting the second-place Lady Cougars until a devastating six-minute drought in the second half.
Lady Knight coach Jimmy Williams could only watch in disbelief as Heritage went on a 23-5 run in the final 12 minutes of the game to take a 53-35 conference win.
The Lady Knights fall to 10-5 and 6-4, and the Lady Cougars improve to 11-5 and 9-1.
In the nightcap, it was nip-and-tuck most of the way with neither team holding more than a five-point lead. That all changed in the fourth period when the Knights made 10 trips to the free-throw line.
They wound up hitting 15-of-18 free throws in the closing minutes, including a 10-of-12 performance from Jake Pittillo, who led the Knights with 24 points.
"That's the ballgame right there. We hit our free throws when we needed to," coach Pittillo said. "I was proud of the way my players finally played hard all the way through the second half. I was also very proud of Seth Williams tonight. He had a great ballgame."
Did he ever. Although he finished with just three points, Williams was a force inside, ending the night with 11 rebounds. He also had five assists, including two nice give-and-gos to Jake Pittillo, and three steals.
"We saw that give-and-go play when the U.S. played Argentina in the Olympics. Argentina kept burning the U.S. with that play, so I decided to put that in our playbook. We like it," coach Pittillo said.
Three other North players hit double digits -- Eric Russell (11), Jamie Justus (11) and Levi Wright (11).
Cody Branton and Michael Harris each had 10 points for the Cougars.
In the opener, the Lady Knights and Lady Cougars swapped the lead nine times in the first three periods, but the final frame belonged to Heritage, thanks to North's 1-of-10 shooting from the field in the final eight minutes.
The Lady Knights tied things up at 30-30 with four minutes left in the game after a 3 from Mallory Bennett.
After that North started turning the ball over, either with traveling calls or simply throwing the ball away, and Heritage took advantage.
The Lady Cougars went on a 10-1 run in the final four minutes of the third period and took a 40-31 lead into the final frame.
They never looked back.
"They are just a better ballclub than us, and that's why we had that long drought near the end. We had too many turnovers, and they capitalized on them," Williams said.
For Heritage, Danielle Maggs had 12 points and Sam Mathis added 10.
Bennett and Jennifer Wilder each had 12 points and were the only double-digit scorers for North.

By David Brown
Times-News Staff Writer
It seems that in every organized basketball season, at any level, there comes a time a coach can look at his clipboard and then at his team and tell the players the outcome was solely predicated on its success, or lack thereof, shooting foul shots.
For Hendersonville High and Polk County that time came Tuesday.
In a contest otherwise balanced in most other phases of the game, the Bearcats (6-7, 2-3 in the Southern Foothills Conference) had the success shooting foul shots and the Wolverines had the lack thereof, falling 55-50 in Hendersonville's gym.
The Bearcats made 15 of their 17 uncontested 15-footers, and Polk missed seven of its 14 so-called "free" shots.
"They hit their free throws and I don't know what our free throw percentage was," Polk coach Steve Aldred said. "But I know it wasn't good."
Hendersonville's most crucial run from the line came in the last two minutes, when guards Charles Featherstone and D.J. Angram combined to make six of seven. Polk (7-10, 1-4) scored 16 points in the final 3:35, with seemingly every inadvisable shot they released going in.
Hendersonville coach Jay Merrill said the team had made a concerted effort to improve its free shooting after starting the season at 48 percent from the line.
"I told them that earlier on we would have lost that (game), because we would have made six out of 17 instead of 15 out of 17," Merrill said.
Justin Jackson gave the Wolverines eight of his 11 points in the last 1:44 with two 3-pointers. The second came with 27.1 seconds left and cut a Hendersonville lead to 52-48.
Angram (8-for-9 from the line, 13 points) then made one of two foul shots for a five-point Bearcats lead.
The teams alternated traveling violations, and with just over 11 seconds left Trabert Allen buried Polk's third 3 of the quarter (fifth of the game) to pull the Wolverines within 53-50.
"We laughed," Merill said. "The other night we were one out of 11 (on 3-pointers). We were saying we'd like to switch with them or whatever they're drinking in their water, because we didn't make a single one all night and they Hail Maryied everything in there."
Featherstone (4-for-4 from the line) was fouled on the ensuing inbounds pass and made two shots to seal the game.
Lee Shogren (10 points, six rebounds), scored six points in a 10-2 run to close the third quarter that gave Hendersonville a 36-27 lead entering the fourth.
"Lee Shogren showed up big for me inside," Merrill said, "which is what we haven't had. We haven't had an inside presence."
Polk missed six of nine free throw attempts in the first half.
"Thirty-three percent's not going to win too many games," Allen said.
With a pressure defense creating easy shots, the Hendersonville girls' ran over the Lady Wolverines 61-40.
Winning their third game since returning from Christmas break, the Lady Bearcats (4-9, 3-2) held Polk (2-14, 0-6) to three points in the second quarter. The Lady Bearcats led 28-14 at halftime.
"We're starting to enjoy running," Norman said. "And we're running in practice and we're running baseline to baseline and we're running on defense and we're getting some layups, so good things happen when you run."

Owning a business in Fruitvale, TN means having to install a telephone service provider at one point or another. Calls from customers and vendors are still the number one way that the public will get in touch with you. The most reliable type of phone service is important to have for your business. You'll want to choose a company that offers dependable service for an affordable price. Customer service is also something you should factor into your consideration. So before you make the decision of what phone company to choose from, evaluate the various providers and everything they have to offer. You'll have the choice of either a VoIP phone service or the more traditional analog telephone service. You should understand exactly what the differences are between the two before you make your choice by comparing and taking into account the different rates and features. Decide which features and price range will work well for your business.
The more recent type of phone service, VoIP, stands for voice over Internet protocol. This is a new alternative to using the more traditional analog phone lines of the past. VoIP phone service in Fruitvale, TN has been around for nearly a decade but has just now become more popular among business owners. Many people are making the switch to VoIP from their traditional PSTN lines. Newer companies, especially small start-ups, are also more likely to choose this type of service for their company. They'll get the same call quality as they would with analog but at a lesser price. Calls are carried through your current Internet provider, so it is important to make sure your connection is strong enough that all of your calls always go through. Use the Wirefly Internet Speed Test to make sure your current Internet service provider supports VoIP before choosing a company. If they don't, it would be worth the switch to find a company that does, as you will save money in the end.
The biggest difference between these two phone services is the way that phone calls are carried. Most people using the analog system know that their calls are run through cables and telephone lines. VoIP calls are actually digital and go through your Internet connection instead. This is a less expensive way of making phone calls than by the regular old analog system, so making and receiving calls costs the consumer less. It is also much cheaper to make international and long distance calls with VoIP. Look for a company who has a flat rate package available for these types of calls if you frequently make long distance phone calls from your place of business. You won't have to worry about the cost of per minute calls if you have a package that includes everything.
Another perk of VoIP service in Fruitvale, TN is that these phone service companies offer many different calling features to their customers. You're probably used to having perks such as call waiting, Caller ID, voicemail and call forwarding. VoIP service offers these and more, such as fax to email, remote access to voicemail, and multiple extensions.
Most VoIP providers strive to meet the needs of all of their Fruitvale, TN businesses by offering their service to companies both big and small. Maybe you only need one or two lines for your small, family owned company, or your larger corporation needs hundreds of extensions to meet the needs of all of their employees. No matter what you need for your company, there will be a phone service that can fit the bill.
When you start your search for the best phone provider, you'll see that there are many VoIP service suppliers battling to do business with you. While you may be overwhelmed at first, you can actually use this to your advantage.
Consider what you need before you choose a company. You will want to know how many lines you will need, whether you will utilize the special features enough to be worth buying them and if your business has the potential to grow down the road. How much the companies charge for service will also be a factor. If you are a smaller company, you won't want a company that overcharges.
Compare all of the features between the companies to see who offers the most for the best rate. Look into the actual reputation of the company, as well. Finding a cheap VoIP service isn't beneficial if the company has poor customer service and a bad reputation. Remember that your company needs to have a reliable phone service to make and receive calls, so choosing a cheap company can actually lose you money if they do not offer reliable service.
Traditionally, most calls are carried through the PSTN, the public switched telephone network. This is a nationwide system that uses telephone lines, cables, satellites and mobile networks to connect calls. This particular phone service has been around for more than a hundred years and was the very first type of phone service ever to be utilized.
However, the traditional PSTN telephone service is a more expensive choice when compared to VoIP, mostly because of the large infrastructure the system still relies on. Since it is so old and large, regular maintenance is needed to make sure it runs efficiently. Also, an analog signal has a harder time sending data over a long distance.
As a long distance call travels over the PSTN system, it stops at quite a few locations as it moves. The data is transmitted through old equipment owned by numerous companies, making the calls expensive. Most of the infrastructure used to carry and switch telephone calls has become digital, but the "last mile' of the call is still analog. This is another reason a PSTN service can ultimately end up costing business owners more.
Most Fruitvale, TN businesses typically use a PBX, or a private branch exchange, that routes the calls that come into their office. The PBX is the system that allows the different calling features found in the analog system, such as call forwarding, voicemail, multiple extensions and conference calls.
With most traditional PSTN phone systems, the location of the PBX can be hosted from a remote location or found right at the user's premises. However, no matter where it is, an analog PBX can be very expensive. When you set up a complete phone system that needs a PBX, you will need different types of hardware that could cause your initial investment to cost at least $1,000. Remember, installation, configuration and future maintenance will not be part of your purchase price. If you have an in-house technical staff that can fix things later on, that would be beneficial to your finances. However, most business owners need to hire a professional, which usually costs at least a $100 an hour or more.
If you do decide to use a traditional PBX for your business phone needs in Fruitvale, TN, remember that if you need to upgrade or expand later on, it can get expensive. Some PBX systems will only be able to support a small amount of lines. So if your business grows and expands, adding additional lines will mean paying for more hardware.
Unfortunately, a PBX system will also be subject to breakdowns and problems, just like any other electronic system. You may end up paying high repair and hardware bills if something happens to your system. Plus, if it becomes obsolete, you may need to replace it every couple of years, costing your company even more money.

From Jennifer Thomson: In the month of January, the most important factor correlation to performance of developed market stocks has been dividend yield (DY).
Interestingly, though, the best performance has been generated in those stocks that belong to the lowest decile (those that pay a smaller dividend relative to their share price) while those with the highest DY have underperformed.
The trend remains the same over the last year– during which time the dividend yield had a near 80% correlation with performance (i.e. it was in the top 20% of influential factors). Which brings us to the question: are companies being rewarded for offering lower and/or cutting back on their dividends?
The best performing developed market sectors so far this year are materials, information technology, and health care.
Those three groups also rank at the bottom of all sectors with respect to dividend yield, payout ratio, and the percent of companies that pay a dividend.
We have highlighted various shifts in investor preference over the last few months–from defensive-driven leadership to cyclical-driven leadership, from higher quality to lower quality companies, the battle between growth and value (and how that relates to bond yields), and even early signs of growing appetite for European equities at the expensive of fixed income. We'll add this to the growing list!
The Materials Select Sector SPDR (NYSE:XLB) was unchanged in premarket trading Thursday. Year-to-date, XLB has gained 5.53%, versus a 5.10% rise in the benchmark S&P 500 index during the same period.
XLB currently has an ETF Daily News SMART Grade of A (Strong Buy), and is ranked #2 of 33 ETFs in the Industrials Equities ETFs category.

Nice Thing
Our neighbour back in the eighties gave us a photo of our old house in East Malvern taken just after it was built, 1934 I think. I scanned that and printed it out and sent a copy with a note to the present occupants, including my email address.
R said it was a nice thing to do. I thought so. I realise not everyone is interested in history or buildings as much as I am, not everyone has email, though I did include my name and where I live, so I could be found in the phone book, but there was no response from either.
People have been very kind and helpful to me on the internet over the years. I hope I have always thanked them. I think I have.
Sending the photos cost less than a dollar, nothing, and a little time. A lack of response will not stop me doing such thing again, but I am slightly disappointed. Perhaps I am just being silly and expecting too much. They didn't ask for the photos. I just thought they might find them interesting.

Here is a true story to reaffirm your faith in humanity.
I spent my Gap Year overseas in 1966 and became very close to a young woman from Peru. At the end of the year, we went back to our own countries and continued writing to each other for five years .. until she married a Russian newcomer and disappeared into the wilds of Brasil.
Then in 2006 she wrote to me again, care of the only postal address she had i.e my parents' home from 1966.
The young woman who lives in that house didn't know the sender or the addressee, so she asked around until she found someone who knew me. I received the letter and photos absolutely intact :)
Women are harder to trace because they often lose their surname at marriage.Windsmoke, maybe. I can't imaging people would really be that suspicious though.
BDT, yes, I reckon streetscape photos like that would be wonderful.
To use your lingo Rubye, aw shucks. That is such a nice thing to say.
Jayne, in some areas I do lower myself to other peoples standards, but in the areas no. I shall go on to share.
That is a way cool story Hels. Are you still in touch with her?
FruitCake, I would have thought it was a nice thing to receive, and just a minute to say thanks.
V, you have something on your mind. I hope I am not a friend who has not responded to kindness from you.Lovely thing to do dear Hawt Andrew.
The people might be very nice, but overseas? or in the middle of a major drama? in hospital, or the houses could have just been sold and new people are unpacking - there must be nice reasons why your thoughtfulness has been ignored. On the other hand, I have fallen over backwards doing good turns for people, and only got 'blah' in response, so that's the world really. Our reward in heaven ... maybe.

text: Home > Packaging & Hardware > Prototyping Tools, Equipment, Services This article was posted on 03/14/2012 Fundamentals of building an electric home breweryPopular hobby is beginning to see some exciting technological upgradesBY JEFFREY BAUSCHIn recent years, there's been a significant resurgence in the popularity of home breweries. Couple this trend with the ever-evolving world that is technology and what do you get? The awe-inspiring electrically based home brewery.The electric home brewery is fast becoming a popular, new approach to the time honored hobby.An electric home brewery benefits the user two ways: First, consider the fact that brewing beer requires a tremendous level of precision; one small error can impact an entire batch. An electric brewery eliminates a lot of the variables involved with gas-based brewing, thus providing a greater level of precision. Second is consistency. It is far easier to repeat the steps and reproduce a great batch of ale with an electric brewery.A (very) brief summary of the beer brewing process:Some makers claim that successful beer brewing begins with the quality of water. Then there are others who claim that their use of particular grains, hops, and mash ingredients are what separate their beer from the rest.Several different types of ingredients are necessary when brewing beer.Regardless, brewing beer is actually a pretty straightforward process, and can be summarized in these six steps:1. Malted barley is soaked in hot water to release malt sugars.2. Malt sugar solution is separated from the grain.3. Malt sugar solution is boiled with hops for seasoning.4. Solution is cooled and yeast is added to begin fermentation.5. Yeast ferments sugar which, in turn, releases CO2 and ethyl alcohol.6. When fermentation is complete, beer is carbonated and packaged.Most first-time brewer mistakes are typically the result of poor processes. If you're a first-time home brewer, you can make a quality beer simply by paying attention to the following elements: use the proper equipment and ingredients; sanitize everything, every time; and have patience.Or, perhaps more simply: don't take shortcuts.Brewing beer takes timeTime spent brewing a beer largely depends upon the style you are preparing. Generally speaking, though, it can take 5 to 10 hours to finish the first four steps of the aforementioned beer-making process. After that, the yeast needs about 1-3 weeks to ferment. Once that's done, you can keg/bottle the beer. Before you drink it, though, it's best to leave the beer in a cool, dark spot for another 1-2 weeks to further carbonate (stronger ales are typically left to age longer).When all is said and done, it's about a month's time before you can sample your first home brewed beer.Electric breweries are the way to goAn electrically-based home brewery provides the user with a more precise control of the beer-making process.Before we get into the differences between gas and electric, it should be stated that there is absolutely no difference between the types of beer that you can brew using either process: from Ale, IPA, and Barleywine to Lager, Wheat, and Pilsener, if you can brew it using gas, you can brew it using electricity.Now, here are some of the advantages that this new process has over its predecessor:• Electric home brewing is safer: there are no poisonous gases or emissions.• The brewer has more control over temperature.• Electricity is a more efficient use of energy.• Electric home brewing is cheaper to run.First-time brewery builders be warned: building an electric brewery is no small taskThere are three main sections to an electric brewery: the control panel, electric supply, and the kettle. Everything is pretty easy to find on the Internet; the only problem is you need a TON of parts, especially when it comes to the control panel.Putting the control panel in will require about three-quarters of time spent building an electric brewery. That's because it sits at the center of the whole brewing process: it plugs into your electric supply, controls the heating elements, and monitors the various temperatures. The rest of the brewery is just tanks, hoses, pumps, and setting the kettles up. (Okay, maybe it's not that straightforward, but it's pretty close.) With the control panel, you need to figure out placement of lights, switches, meters, handles, relays, wires, etc.The control panel requires the most effort when building an electric home brewery.There are two ways that you can tackle the control panel portion of this project: you can order it pre-fabricated and pre-tested, or you can build the control panel yourself. Details on how to do this vary depending upon the size of the electric brewery you're setting up, but there are sites out there like TheElectricBrewery.com that are an excellent resource for the electric brewery builder to reference.Tips for the aspiring beer brewerAre you considering setting up a (hopefully electric) home brewery? Here are some important tips to keep in mind as you take on this fun hobby:• Always clean and sanitize your work area: a very effective solution for doing this is liquid chlorine bleach.• Make sure all of your parts are functioning properly: a malfunctioning thermometer, for example, can have an unfavorable impact on the quality of your homebrew.• If you're not kegging the beer then before you start, try to collect at least 50+ non-screw-top bottles: never use a twist-off bottle — they're too thin and the caps will not seal the beer properly. Gather the thickest bottles you can find and clean them thoroughly. Also, keep in mind that darker bottles are better (they prevent light from getting in and aging your beer).• Keep temperatures at the low-end of the recommended range: this will result in a cleaner, better tasting beer. Keeping it cooler allows the yeast to go dormant; if it gets too warm, you'll get some unusual "fruity" flavors. Ideal temperature varies depending on strain of yeast used, but a good rule of thumb for beginners is to try to keep the temperature between 60 and 70°F for Ales, or 45° to 55°F for Lagers.Special thanks to Kal Wallner of TheElectricBrewery.com for the images used in this article. ■ Learn more about Electronic Products Magazine Related Articles Telecommunications: An industry in the midst of transformation 3D-printed rare earth magnet outperforms conventional version while...

One of the nation's most-loved musicians and successful artists of all time - Sir Elton John – has been honoured by a PRS for Music Heritage Award.
A special plaque was erected at Northwood Hills this bank holiday weekend where Sir Elton, then known as Reginald Kenneth Dwight, first performed at the Namaste Lounge, formerly The Northwood Hills Hotel, in 1962 – aged just 15.
PRS for Music set up the Heritage Award last year to recognise the unusual 'performance birthplaces' of famous bands and artists. Sir Elton John is the fifth artist to be given the honour of receiving the permanent plaque.
The plaque was unveiled at the Namaste Lounge in Northwood Hills on Saturday May 29th in front of VIP guests including:
• George Hill, Landlord of The Northwood Hills who booked and hired Sir Elton for his first gig
• Northwood Hill locals who attended Sir Elton's first gigs
• Members of Lunch Around The World, Elton's fans fundraising for the Elton John AIDS Foundation
• International fans heading to the UK from as far afield as the USA
• The Worshipful the Mayor and Mayoress of Hillingdon Cllr David Yarrow and Mrs Rita KilroyAt the age of 15, with the help of his mother and stepfather, Sir Elton John became a weekend pianist at The Northwood Hills, playing Thursday to Sunday nights for £25 a week and tips. Known simply as "Reggie", he played a range of popular standards, including songs by Jim Reeves and Ray Charles. PRS for Music Director, Simon Darlow, who unveiled the award said: "It's impossible to sum up the enormous contribution that Sir Elton John has made to the UK and the international music scene, as a brilliant composer, a consummate musician and a generous benefactor to worthy causes. It is an honour and a privilege to be able to honour him and Namaste Lounge today with the PRS for Music Heritage Award."
Sir Elton John said: "I am delighted and honoured to receive this recognition from PRS for Music. We often forget what a significant and important part British musicians, writers and composers and performers have played in the history and development of music. Thank you."In his five-decade career, Sir Elton John has sold more than 250 million records, making him one of the most successful artists of all time. His single 'Candle in the Wind 1997' has sold over 37 million copies, and is the best selling single of all time. He had 7 consecutive No. 1 U.S. albums, 6 UK No. 1 albums and 56 Top 40 singles, including 8 No. 1 hits. His numerous awards include Best British Male Artist Brit Award, 5 Grammy Awards, 11 Ivor Novello Awards, 2 Tony awards and an Oscar.For more information please go to www.prsformusic.com/heritageaward
Namaste Lounge:Within the splendour of Northwood Hills, there remains a historical building which, even today, is remembered as the beginning of a journey of a genius- Sir Elton John.This is where the history was made; thus the external Architecture is the same as depicted on the sleeve of Sir Elton's album "Captain Fantastic". In order to keep up with the times, the internal décor of the Northwood Hills Pub has been quintessentially modernized, with the addition of a beer garden at the rear of the Pub. Indeed, gourmet of spicy Indian food to cater for the ever-changing palate of not only the locals, but, people from far afield, is also catered for, hence, the name Namaste – (warm greetings) Lounge.Maintaining the tradition and Northwood Hills' association with music, artists from all walks of life perform on Saturdays. Not to forget Contemporary and Classic music on Fridays with the assistance of a Disc Jockey.We at Northwood Hills Pub (Namaste Lounge) pride ourselves with the knowledge that this is the place where Sir Elton John started his journey to stardom.

apt-mirror created another folder
Hi all,
I have a local Ubuntu mirror running in my office which uses http://archive.ubuntu.com to download updates and new releases. It downloads everything under /export/ubuntu-repo1/apt-mirror/mirror/archive.ubuntu.com/ folder. Recently I discovered that the Ubuntu mirror in India i.e. http://in.archive.ubuntu.com is a lot faster for me than http://archive.ubuntu.com which is based in UK. Therefore to download latest release QUANTAL QUETZAL I configured Indian mirror in /etc/apt/mirror.list deb-amd64 http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu quantal main restricted universe multiverse deb-amd64 http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu quantal-updates main restricted universe multiverse deb-amd64 http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu quantal-backports main restricted universe multiverse deb-amd64 http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu quantal-security main restricted universe multiverse deb-amd64 http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu quantal-proposed main restricted universe multiverse After making this change and leaving apt-mirror to run overnight I found that it downloaded everything to a new folder called "in.archive.ubuntu.com" so now I have two folders where apt-mirror downloads updates. /export/ubuntu-repo1/apt-mirror/mirror/archive.ubuntu.com/ /export/ubuntu-repo1/apt-mirror/mirror/in.archive.ubuntu.com/ Now, since apache does not have "in.archive.ubuntu.com" configured, client computers are unable to access QUANTAL QUETZAL release and its updates. Now my question is: Is there any way I could copy everything downloaded under "in.archive.ubuntu.com" to "archive.ubuntu.com" so all new updates of the latest release become accessible to Ubuntu clients? Also, how can I configure apt-mirror not to create a new folder and instead download everything to archive.ubuntu.com? Thanks a lot for your help in advance. I Kazi |

USAID Oversight of Assistance Funds and Programs
GAO-12-802T: Published: Jun 6, 2012. Publicly Released: Jun 6, 2012.

What GAO Found
The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) has experienced systemic challenges that have hindered its ability to manage and oversee contracts and assistance instruments in Afghanistan. Key challenges include gaps in planning for the use of contractors and assistance recipients and having visibility into their numbers. For example, GAO reported in April 2010 that, absent strategic planning for its use of contractors, individual offices within USAID often made case-by-case decisions on using contractors to support contract or grant administration and risks, such as possible conflicts of interest, were not always addressed. While having reliable data on contractors and assistance recipients is a starting point for informing agency decisions and ensuring proper management, GAO has also reported on limitations in USAIDs visibility into the number and value of contracts and assistance instruments in Afghanistan, as well as the number of personnel working under them. USAID, along with other agencies, has not implemented GAOs recommendation to address such limitations. USAID, however, has taken other actions to mitigate risks associated with awarding contracts and assistance instruments in Afghanistan. In June 2011, GAO reported on USAIDs vendor vetting program, then in its early stages, which was designed to counter potential risks of U.S. funds being diverted to support criminal or insurgent activity. GAO recommended that USAID take a more risk-based approach to vet non-U.S. vendors and develop formal mechanisms to share vetting results with other agencies, both of which USAID agreed to do.
GAO has found systematic weaknesses in USAIDs oversight and monitoring of project and program performance in Afghanistan. In 2010, GAO reported that USAID did not consistently follow its established performance management and evaluation procedures for Afghanistan agriculture and water sector projects. For example, only two of seven USAID-funded agricultural programs included in GAOs review had targets for all their performance indicators. Moreover, the USAID Mission was operating without a required performance management plan. In addition, GAO reported on a lack of documentation of key programmatic decisions and an insufficient method to transfer knowledge to successors. USAID has taken several actions in response to these findings, such as updating its performance management plan and establishing mandatory guidelines on file maintenance to help ensure knowledge transfer.
USAID has established and generally complied with various financial and other controls in its direct assistance agreements, such as requiring separate bank accounts and maintenance of records subject to audit. However, GAO found in 2011 that USAID had not always assessed the financial risks in providing direct assistance to Afghan government entities before awarding funds. For example, USAID did not complete preaward risk assessments in two of eight cases of bilateral assistance GAO identified. With regard to direct assistance provided multilaterally through the World Banks Afghanistan Reconstruction Trust Fund (ARTF), GAO found in 2011 that USAID had not consistently complied with its own risk assessment policies, and USAID had not conducted a risk assessment before awarding $1.3 billion to ARTF in March 2010. In response to GAO reports, USAID revised and expanded its guidance on preaward risk assessments for the World Bank and other public international organizations.
Why GAO Did This Study
Since 2002, the United States has appropriated nearly $90 billion to help stabilize Afghanistan and build the Afghan governments capacity to provide security, enhance governance, and develop a sustainable economy. To assist Congress in its oversight, GAO has issued over 100 reports and testimonies related to U.S. efforts in Afghanistan, including those managed by USAID and the Departments of Defense and State. USAID provides assistance to Afghanistan through contracts and assistance instruments, such as grants and cooperative agreements, and in the form of direct assistancefunding provided through the Afghan national budget for use by its ministries. Direct assistance is provided (1) bilaterally to individual Afghan ministries or (2) multilaterally through trust funds administered by the World Bank and the United Nations Development Program. This testimony discusses findings from GAO reports issued primarily in 2010 and 2011 that cover USAIDs (1) management of contracts and assistance instruments, (2) oversight of development-related program performance and results, and (3) accountability for direct assistance.
What GAO Recommends
GAO is not making new recommendations but has made numerous recommendations aimed at improving USAIDs management and oversight of assistance funds in Afghanistan. USAID has generally concurred with most of these recommendations and has taken or planned steps to address them.

Hemis Monastery is the largest and richest Buddhist monastery in Ladakh and it hosts to the popular festival called Hemis Festival. The day has been declared as the state holiday. This 2-day festival is celebrated on the 10thday of the Tibetan lunar month, which is the birthday of Padmasambhava, the founder of Tibetan Buddhism. During the festival the Lamas perform... More
Try visiting in the month of July because a great festival held there. I used Bike to get there , as there is no public transport available. Nice Place , Great Architecture Museum was nice nothing special except skin and head of a lion and leopard. We had few talks with monks, they make children join the race and follow... More
What a spectacle! The Hemis Festival was packed solid with spectators standing shoulder to shoulder and every seat occupied for the amazing experience. The sounds were something I have never heard before and I could not believe where the monks got their breath to blow through the incredible trumpets which must have been 10ft or more long. The costumes, colours... More
It is a nice time pass. However we did not get a feel of a great attractive place or a feeling of visiting a temple. A few monks praying and simultaneously eating samosa, created a bit casual feeling. Did not get the place of worship feeling. The group of monks sitting and praying attracted us from outside. The museum was... More
What a lovely new addition to the monastery and at such an affordable fee. The museum is truly a gem and a must visit. Although Hemis is not too close to Leh, the roads have improved since we last went and it was a joy to see the kids learning.
I went to this wonderful place on 29th April 2016, it's my last day of my Leh tour, 28th I went to Pangong Lake, on the way I visited all the monastries including Sindhu ghat, 3 Idiots school and crossing Chang La was a experience by itself, on 29th morning it was very cold (-5°C) at Pangong Lake, I stayed...

The richest monastery is Leh Ladakh region. Truly beautiful. Has a museum which is worth seeing as it contains some priceless articrafts.
This is the biggest monastery in Ladakh. It has lots of things to explore. Also it has museum that has many ancient artifiacts. Please note even during summer this museum, since underground, is cold. So wear all your thermal stuff plus socks, shoes not allowed. Also one needs to keep mobile, wallet, camera in locker, none of it is allowed... More
It's very beautiful and well maintained monastery it has gorgeous Buddha statue and very well maintained museum inside it has very good souvenir shop and it's very good for photographers.
We went there during the Hemis festival so we only visit a small part of the monastery, which is intriguing.the monks were nice enough to allow people to enter the place from where the dancers were getting ready. Even thiugh we were pestering themwith our cameras and barring their ways we only got tolerant smiles in return.
