Moss avoids direct sunlight, and with the sun's path curving across the southern sky, the north side of a tree-trunk is the one most shaded. ... In addition, they are invariably tilted at an angle around 450, to make sure that the arrival of the sun's rays is as close to perpendicular as possible. ...

... First of all, I should say that you cannot guarantee user-mode processes to have exact control of timing because of the multi-tasking nature of Linux. ... However, for most applications using I/O ports, this does not really matter. To minimise this, you may want to nice your process to a high-priority value (see the nice(2) manual page) or use real-time scheduling (see below). ... Linux 2.x kernels have soft real time support; see the manual page for sched_setscheduler(2) for details. ...

... My mother had a 'star named for me' with the International Star Registry (henceforth ISR) as a gift for this Christmas. ... On the back of the chart, a sticker described the precise location and visual magnitude of the star, taken from the Hubble Guide Star Catalog. The first thing I noticed, was the chart was Epoch 1950. ... The coordinates were also exactly those on the ISR sticker, so I now knew that even though the ISR chart was epoch 1950, the coordinates on the sticker were epoch 1983. ...

. Installation of Light Baffle: March 25, 1999 . A quick look at the installed light baffle covering the secondary support and mirror. Our local upholsterer, Harper's Upholstery, has really come through on these light baffle solutions. French Leger and Steve Bastian accomplished the work on 3/23/99.
