Trump says he's looking 'very, very strongly' at welfare reform
Trump says he's looking 'very, very strongly' at welfare reform
President Donald Trump said Monday his administration will start to consider reforming the welfare system in the United States, saying that some people are "taking advantage of the system."
"People are taking advantage of the system and then other people aren't receiving what they really need to live and we think it is very unfair to them," said Trump, flanked by Defense Secretary James Mattis and Secretary of State Rex Tillerson during a Cabinet meeting. "Because some people are really taking advantage of our system from that stand point."
"We are going to be looking very, very strongly, therefore, at welfare reform," Trump added.
Trump didn't say when this roll out would happen but said he would announce his plan "shortly."

Find usage and benefits of energized rudraksha bead which are used for prayer, healing and spiritualism. Articles and blog posts are based on scientific result and personal experience.
Rudraksha bead is full of positive powers. A bead from a tree namely Utrasum. Scientifically known as Elaeocarpus ganitnus roxb. Beads have vertical lines numbering 1 to 21. These lines are called mukhi or face. There are 2 not normal rudraksh i.e. Gauri Shankar and Trijuti. These consist of more than one beads joined together. It can be worn on different parts of the body depending upon the requirement and significance. A real bead can also be recognized by feeling the energy frequencies emitted by it. If kept near us for sometime, then the effect can be felt. Can be worn around neck, on hand, around waist, on ear, on crown, above chest, on forehead. Benefits are felt on touching or seeing it. Number of beads to be worn are based on the requirement. Higher the number of beads, more the effect on us. Different number of beads in japa mala are used for various objectives like health, strength, wealth or desire fulfillment.
Beads give different type of effect based on number of faces. So different faces have different benefits. Generally used in a thread or worn as bracelet or as mala. Selection of color of the thread is purely the wearer's choice. People of all age group can wear beads, malas or bracelet. Male or female both can wear it. Based on our experiences and also those from testimonials – we find that these beads give very prompt response/benefits. Use of these beads are for fulfilling impossible tasks, for specific shat karmas, as a remedy during illness, worshiping and spiritual gain.
It fulfills all possible desires. Different faces or mukhi have special powers or benefits. Importance is given to special powers which are specific to particular mukhi. It is seen – people select particular mukhi bead based on their matching requirement to special powers. Energizing by chanting various prana pratista mantra makes the beads more powerful. Ritualistic use for Shiva puja or chanting Shiva panchakshari mantra, brings immense positive energy within the beads. The beads convert light frequencies of different colors from the universe into the body of man wearing it. Wearer can absorb the required positive frequencies of the universe making himself full of positive frequencies. Also these facilitate the activation of spiritual power within. This website is introduced by a group of intellectual people who got much benefit from them personally. All can get the benefits from these precious beads
Shiva lives a life of perfect yogi. He wears snakes and lion skin. He does not wear anything else. He kept the Chandra on head. And most notably, he wears Rudraksh beads all over his body. The wearer of this bead feels like Shivoham and gets all qualities to become a perfect Yogi.
There are references on the origin of the rudraksh tree in Shiva purana. Shiva has narrated himself the story on the origin to Mother Parvati - "For thousands of years, i was on penance. I opened my eye and brought a desire to help the world. Some tear drops from my eyes fell. And from those tears, there came up rudrakshi plants. Slowly the plant was spread to different places". The tree is medium size in height. Mostly found in Nepal and some regions of Bhutan. Suitable beads are found on the Himalayas. All Shiva devotees and Sadhus wear rosary of this bead. Leaves of the tree become round and the seeds are the most popular round beads.
The Rudrakshi rosary is used for Shiva mantra chanting. The effectiveness of the mantra goes crore times powerful when chanted with this rosary. The mind gets concentration and the body feels easy when worn during Japam and meditation. There is no other ornament as holy and useful as this mala. All the beads have their own significance and please the god effectively when used for chanting. It is favorite bead of saivites. The importance is differentiated based on the faces of the bead. The wearer achieves dharma, moksha and artha. All who want to enjoy life and live a fearless life and fulfilled life need to wear this bead. It is great and has many medicinal values.

#1 Occupy Wall Street Stealing From The Poor to Give to Themselves!01-16-2012, 05:34 PMIt is more common everyday. A man buys a house, the market collapses and suddenly his house is worth less than the mortgage, then he loses his job until, as a single father, he finds himself in foreclosure with no place to raise his two preteen daughters. Its a case made for the Occupy Wall Street movement to swoop in and right wrongs, right? Maybe not because the OWSers in New York stole this poor guys home away from him in order to give it to one of their own members. Confused? Read on.
A Brooklyn man living in an apartment with his two daughters was alerted to the fact that his in-foreclosure-home had been broken into and occupied by Occupiers, as in Occupy Wall Street activists. When he rushed to his home he found a group of strangers that had broken into his home claiming to have reclaimed the house and given it to another family.
Theyre trying to take a house and say the bank is robbing the people because the mortgage is too high so contact the owner! fumed Wise Ahadzi, 28, who owns the home at 702 Vermont St. in East New York.
Apparently Ahadzi had bought the house in 2007 for the princely sum of $424,500 but during the housing bubble of 2009 the house ended up being worth only half that. Then, when he lost his job and got behind on the mortgage, the bank foreclosed on the property.
Enter illegally, mind you Occupy Wall Streeters who discovered the home in foreclosure and decided that theyd steal it away from the bank with the ostensible goal of helping the needy.
Ahadzi is rightfully indignant that they didnt contact him so that they could help him retake possession of his own house. Ahadzi also asked why they didnt try to help him and his two daughters to which the Occupiers claimed he didnt qualify because he wasnt in their group. Why cant you fight for me?, he wondered.
So, who did they want to give the house to? An organizer for VOCAL-NY a gay rights activist group. A fellow with a job and one that belongs to their own group, yet.
Worse, when Ahadzi got to his home he discovered that the Occupiers had taken all his personal belongings and shoved them in a pile in the basement and then began to tear out walls and remodel the place, spending, they claimed, over $9,000 in the effort. ...
Call "The Brigade"...:DMay the FORCE be with you!
We need a Brigade Signal. You know, like the Bat Signal. Just shine it and here they come.Weve learned that, like any self-interested Wall Street Banker, the OWSers only want to enrich themselves and help their own members. They arent really interested in helping defend the poor and downtrodden. Just helping themselves.Be Not Afraid.

Not convinced of the "Letitia", because that first 't' isn't properly crossed, but it makes sense.
The addresses above look more like "Caris, Ky", or "Oaris, Ky" ... but again, Paris makes more sense. I'd have to research the area at the time, as I am unfamiliar with the names of the districts in KY.

While China is famous for its Great Wall and big exciting cities, its islands are less well known. But they are also well worth exploring, as you will see when you arrive on Gulangyu, just off the coast of Xiamen. This car-free island is dotted with colonial mansions and sandy beaches. A ferry crossing of just 10 minutes whisks you to a world away from the busy mainland.
Xiamen consists of a mainland section and an island that goes by the same name. Portuguese, British, French and Dutch seafarers all came to Xiamen and nearby Gulangyu Island centuries ago. While their attempts to establish ports there failed time and time again, they built mansions, consulates, schools and churches which still adorn the streets. This history is especially evident on Gulangyu. And since there are no cars on the island, pedestrians can make the most of the less than 2 square kilometres of beaches and architectural heritage.
The fine sand, palm trees and an average temperature of 21 degrees Celsius combined together make up the charm of the beaches of Gulangyu. A winding pathway along the coast connects all the beaches. Those on the south side are more popular, while the northern ones are deserted. The trail around the island passes the 93-metre-high Sunlight Rock, which offers a beautiful view of Gulangyu and Xiamen.
"The Lee Inn boutique hotel and its enclosed garden exude history"
As there are not many hotels on Gulangyu, most visitors take the evening boat back to Xiamen. The hotels that do exist there are often housed in colonial mansions, such as the Lee Inn & Coffee House. Housed in a 100-year-old building with colonnades and 17 rooms, this boutique hotel stands in a walled garden and exudes history. Draped curtains adorn the windows of the rooms, some of which even feature a bathtub on curled legs.
Lee Inn & Coffee House on Gulangyu, No.38-40 Zhangzhou Road, Gulangyu, Siming District, Xiamen 361002
Criss-crossing the island are alleys where you may still encounter old pushcarts. Laundry and lanterns hang between the houses. Gulangyu is blessed with a silence known by few villages in China. Piano music, however, does occasionally sound through the streets. At the beginning of the last century, Europeans opened their first music schools here and hundreds of islanders have since learned to play piano. Gulangyu also features the only piano museum in China. All of this has earned the island the nickname 'Piano Island'.

Revision as of 19:49, 15 December 2008
Time period, coverage & content of Maryland newspapers
Newspaper publication in Maryland began in 1727 with the release of the Maryland Gazette in Annapolis. Newspapers may focus on the world or a tiny community, and may serve a general audience or a particular ethnic, religious, racial, or political group. Newspapers report family information within notices of births, marriages, and deaths (obituaries), and local news. They may include the following information:
- Birth announcements may contain the infant's name, birth date, and parents' names, as well as the religion of the family.
- Wedding announcements may contain the wedding date and place; the names of the bride, groom, bride's parents, and groom's parents; and the religion of the family.
- Death notices and obituaries may contain the name and place of residence of close family and friends of the decedent, as well as the decedent's death date and place, birth date and place, and biographical information, such as occupation, military service, religion, schools attended, parents' names, places of residence over time, and place of origin.
- News stories, legal notices and advertisements may contain nearly any information imaginable, including political or criminal activity, legal and domestic disputes, real estate transactions, business information, social contacts, military service, missing persons (including runaway slaves), or information about local disasters, epidemics, or other community milestones which affected the local population.
Why use newspapers?
- Newspapers usually predate government birth, marriage, and death records.
- Newspapers may serve as a substitute for civil records that were destroyed.
- Unlike most government records, newspaper articles are not limited to a form. Thus, newspapers may contain details not found in more structured records.
- Newspapers can report marriages, deaths or accomplishments of people who no longer live in the area but who still have friends or family there.
- Newspapers may report events in the life of local inhabitants even when these events occurred elsewhere.
Before searching newspapers, know this
- The name of the person you are looking for (including, if possible, maiden and married names of women).
- The place and an approximate date of an event.
Where to get Maryland newspapers
Your local library and interlibrary loan
Although your local library may not have a newspaper collection for the place where your ancestor lived, you may still access newspapers from distant libraries there. Many historical newspapers have been microfilmed. Local libraries often have a service called Interlibrary loan by which they can order microfilm copies of old newspapers from other libraries for a reasonable fee usually paid by the patron. Telephone your local librarian to learn which newspapers covered your ancestor's area and time period. Also ask which libraries in your area offer interlibrary loan services and what the fees are.
Web sites
Since digitizing and storing thousands of images of newspaper pages on the Web is expensive, free online collections of digitized historical newspapers are rare. However, modern day newspapers are increasingly found for free online.
Historical newspapers online
- NewspaperArchive.com ($) has over 40 historical Maryland newspapers.
- Ancestry.com ($) has over 20 historical Maryland newspapers.
- University of Pennsylvania (free) has links to a handful of free historical Maryland newspapers online.
Current newspapers online
- RootsWeb Obituary Daily Times (free) has a searchable database of over 14 million modern-day obituaries extracted by volunteers. Most are from 2000 or later, but some date back to the 1980s.
- ABYZ Newslinks (free) has a directory of links to over 140 Maryland newspapers online organized by city.
- OnlineNewspapers.com (free) links to over 110 Maryland newspapers online.
- SHG Resources State Handbook & Guide (free) links to over 30 current Maryland newspapers online.

Maryland newspapers at the Family History Library
To locate newspapers in the Family History Library's collection which pertain to a large part of Maryland, click here. The Family History Library is not actively collecting newspapers of the United States.[1]
How to search newspapers
- Check newspapers from a week or two before or after a wedding, funeral, or wedding anniversary to find mention of out-of-town visitors and relatives.
- You may find it helpful to place a notice in a local newspaper in order to contact others who may have information about your family.
- Search all newspapers for your ancestor's area, particularly those focusing on your ancestor's ethnicity. Ethnic papers "care" about ancestors that mainstream papers ignore.[2]
- Don't ignore an ethnic newspaper that was published far from your ancestor, even hundreds of miles away. These papers often have a widely-circulated readership, so they tend to focus on a much wider area. For example, articles about ancestors from Illinois, Kansas, and Nebraska can be found in an ethnic newspaper published in Iowa.[3]
Milestone in newspaper content: the mid-1800s
Early American newspapers were generally only a few pages and focused on international rather than local events. However, the combination of the telegraph, the railroad, the power printing press, and public hunger for news during the Civil War changed American newspapers permanently during the mid-1800s. They increased the news gathering, production, and distribution capacity of big-city papers such that these papers took over the reporting of international, national, and state news. This changed the focus of small-town papers to local events and ordinary people.[4]

(Remake of classic '70s horror film)
I still retain the image of Sissy Spacek, standing on the high school stage, covered in pig's blood. It is a haunting memory of one of the first movies I ever reviewed.
I approached the remake with an open mind, impressed with Chloe Grace Moretz's interpretation of the mentally and physically abused teenager, and moved by Julianne Moore's chilling interpretation of her religiously fanatic mother. The story of the girl with telekinetic powers who uses them for self-preservation has been updated to include cyber-bullying at its meanest.
Talk about a dysfunctional family! Carrie's mother has deeply harmed her, turning her into a frightened introvert who wants little more in life than to be a normal teenager. The modern world of cell phones and video communication has made it easier for the bullies.
Realizing that many teenagers have never seen the original, I commend this version to them. I still can't get over the image of Sissy Spacek, now playing grandmother roles, standing on the stage about to unleash her powers.
Rated R, with violence, language and adult themes, yet ironically aimed at a teen audience.

Bacon Coffin Is a Delicious Way to Meet Your Maker
We'd like to tell you this product is yet another April Fool's Day prank, because the company announced it just before April 1st. But, as it turns out — it's real, folks.
Seattle based J & D Foods are makers of a whole array of bacon-themed products. But when you make everything from bacon salt to bacon-flavored lip balms, what's left to offer your loyal bacon-loving customer after you have fed them so much fat? A bacon coffin of course.
A visit to the website lets you actually order the bacon coffin. We didn't go through with the checkout, simply because the coffin costs a whopping (and real) $2,999 (plus shipping). And as much as we love our readers (and bacon), we can't afford to spend that much money to see if this a real product to rest our greased souls in when we die.
The makers say the coffins are actually from Costco, which are then painted a smoky red color that for "Premium Bacon" look. Other modifications include a bacon air freshener for "when you get that buried-underground, not-so-fresh feeling." Great April Fool's Day prank or just plain clever marketing? We'd like to think it's a bit of both.
If you love bacon, and have the dough — may you rest in grease.

In the Hill's polls released this week that I noted in "Signs and omens," nine-term Democratic incumbent Earl Pomeroy had taken the lead against Republican challenger Rick Berg for North Dakota's at-large seat. Like a lot of vulnerable Democratic incumbents, however, the Hill poll also showed Pomeroy stuck under 50 percent (Pomeroy was at 45 percent, Berg at 44), leading some observers to conclude that his time is up.
Pomeroy won his last race for re-election by 20 points, but he is a liberal running in a conservative state in a difficult year for Democrats. Incumbent Democratic North Dakota Senator Byron Dorgan stood down rather than face popular incumbent Republican Governor John Hoeven to retain his seat, and Governor Hoeven represents the surest pick-up among the several that Republicans stand poised to win in Senate races next Tuesday.
Pomeroy voted in favor of Obamacare and even ran an ad touting his support for the bill if you could decode the ad's language. He voted in favor of the stimulus bill. He even voted in favor of Nancy Pelosi for Speaker of the House.
But Pomeroy's survival instinct has kicked in. He declined to challenge Hoeven in the Senate contest even though he had easily won his own statewide race nine times before. He preferred the weaker opponent he would draw in his race for re-election.
Now he seeks to reintroduce himself to the voters of North Dakota (video below). Over a guitar chord repeated in the background, Pomeroy sadly declares that he's not Nancy Pelosi. He's not Barack Obama. There seems to be a misunderstanding he finds it necessary to correct.
His opponent will apparently privatize Social Security, kill the farm bill, and take away the prescription drug benefit. With that prescription drug benefit, Pomeroy is running on the coattails George W. Bush. Rather than touting his vote in favor of Obamacare, he now concedes that he knows he has let the voters down on occasion. But he's from North Dakota!
Pomeroy's closing ad is an incredibly lugubrious affair. Earl Pomeroy is singing the blues. We can only hope it is a song that presages defeat on November 2

On next week's episode of The Bachelor, Sean Lowe will whisk his remaining three ladies off to Thailand for romantic overnight dates that may or may not include actual hookups in the fantasy suites. He'll also narrow the field down to just two women -- one of whom reportedly accepts his proposal along with a very fat engagement ring.
But before we can find out who Sean picks to be his wife, we have to get more juicy details about his season on the Women Tell All special.
The claws tend to come out in full force on that show, and that's why it's so disappointing to hear that Tierra LiCausi doesn't plan on going to L.A. to make an appearance and defend her character.
Even though the Tell All show is Tierra's only chance to dish out some sort of rational explanation for why she acted like such a psycho in front of everyone but Sean -- she's still chickening out. And if that doesn't prove she's either a.) a spoiled brat, b.) a compulsive liar, or c.) both, then I don't know what does.
According to a source who talked to Wetpaint, Tierra is "very upset with the way she came across on the show. At this point, all she wants is for everyone to forget about her. She knows going to Women Tell All will just draw more attention to how crazy she acted and how nasty she came across."
Yep. That sure sounds about right.
She's also supposedly bent out of shape because she thinks "no one will stick up for her." And why should they? If she really thinks she deserves one ounce of sympathy from Sean or any of the women on the show, it only proves she's just as nuts as everyone already thinks she is.
And then there's the whole deal with Tierra being engaged to a man she refuses to name. If she goes on the Women Tell All show, you know somebody is going to grill her about her "fiance," who I still believe to be fake at this point. I'm sure she doesn't want to risk anyone calling her bluff, so she figures it's best to just lay low and stay out of the spotlight for a while.
But seriously, how bad does it suck that we won't have the pleasure of seeing her crazy antics one more time? If ABC really cares about ratings, they should offer Tierra a huge chunk of cash to come on the show simply for the viewing pleasure of Bachelor fans everywhere. There's just no way the Women Tell All is going to be the same without her.
Do you think Tierra is a coward for refusing to go on the show?

Men Need Feminism
Feminism with men in mind.
"The women of Bikini Kill let guitarist Billy Karren be in their feminist punk band, but only if he's willing to just "do some shit." Being a feminist dude is like that. We may ask you to "do some shit" for the band, but you don't get to be Kathleen Hannah."--@heatherurehere

Since people have put out a lot of energy into "Santa" its really possible that a "Santa" entity does exist, as thought form or tulpa.
Good stuff!

Had not heard of the term 'Tulpa' before - so looked it up. That was interesting - and that does sound like a very real possibility. Intriguing take on it. Very cool idea.

Much has been made in recent years about modern man's role in raising children. See, things have changed. Many men are choosing to be stay-at-home dads right from the start, and these dads chafe at the old cliche of the typical father, sitting in an easy chair, sipping a bourbon, reading the evening paper. Today's new-fangled fathers? Go-getters, the whole lot of 'em. They happily – and all at the same time! – attach their newborns to their chest, put their toddler in the stroller, take their kindergartener to school.
As for me, father of three?
Bring me a bourbon and an evening paper. I'll be in my easy chair.
Listen, I think it's great some dads take this very active role in rearing their children. I really do. Sometimes, it's 100 percent necessary, and for those dads who relish the challenge and rise to the occasion, I don't begrudge these guys their happiness.
But me, and virtually every other father I talk to? We're not that skilled at the day-to-day of raising children. And we're not that upset about it, either.
I can handle it – barely – when called upon, but I'm not anywhere as good as my wife. And I'm not talking learned skills like changing diapers; I'm talking parenting-from-the-gut, knowing, in your bones, how to get it done.
Case in point: The other night, post-dinner: Our baby is screaming. Our 3-year-old daughter is rampaging. Our 4-year-old son managed to hop the gate to the stairs and the water to the bath is running. I stood there, frozen, and loudly asked me wife the following question: "What do you want me to do?" Her answer? "Nothing. I got this."
Within 15 seconds – and I'm not exaggerating – she had the baby on her breast, the 3-year-old calmed, and our son in the bath. She also managed to get me upstairs to bathe the kid. I don't even know how I got there. She just mom'd me there. She may have installed a holodeck in the foyer. For all I know, while I was giving my son a bath, another version of me was still standing downstairs in absolute panic.
If I had to handle the situation? It wouldn't have been over in 15 seconds. Probably would've taken hours for everyone to just fall asleep wherever they we sitting/standing/bathing.
So why is this? Why do I believe this? Why do I think women are better than men at handling the kids? I'm going to claim science on this one. From the dawn of humankind until the dawn of Brooklyn hipsters, child-rearing, across virtually all cultures, was the domain of women.
And it makes perfect biological sense. You see, after babies are born, they soon need to (according to Wikipedia) eat. As it turns out, women are equipped with the proper tools for this job. Men, alas, are not.
Interestingly, men do (again, according to Wikipedia) have nipples and so, using Darwin as my guide, it's not so far-fetched to imagine a time in ancient human history when men could also provide their offspring with nourishment.
But if that's the case, it's been bred out of us. Not surprising. I mean, can't you just picture it? There's Oog with his baby, plus a few toddlers running about the cave, and everything is OK until Oog gets distracted by a good Throw the Rock game on TV, and three hours later, there's a starving baby, the kids are missing and a village-wide stuck-in-amber alert is sounded.
Now listen: I'm no Oog. I can do it. I can do it all. I do do it all. I'm a present father. Believe me, in my life, there's no evening paper, no easy chair, no bourbon. (OK fine there's bourbon, but not until after bedtime, and then there's probably a two fingers too much of it.) So to be clear: I do help out, I do take an active role, I do change diapers and feed the baby and everything else.
But my wife is so, so, so, so much better at it all than I am.
And I know I'm not alone.
So to all the dads out there, don't feel bad because you're not living up to some false ideal of what fatherhood is supposed to be. Don't feel bad because when you hear your baby crying, your first instinct is "make it stop!" instead of "coo-coo, there-there." Don't feel bad because when you try to make a ponytail for your daughter, it ends up looking like it was done by a corkscrew plugged into a wall socket. And don't feel bad because you say things like "make a ponytail." What is it anyway? Put a ponytail in? Put a ponytail on? Ponytail her hair? I have no idea.
I do know I love my children and I'm a good dad, just not a SuperDad, and I'm perfectly, happily, wonderfully OK with that.
I also know, done right, an evening paper could be a pretty big hit. Roll it around your head, the plusses and minuses of it in the Internet age, and you'll see. It could work.

Control the transport functions of Cubase or Nuendo and more.
The USB-powered CMC Transport Controller is the ultra-intuitive hardware equivalent of the Cubase transport section. This featurepacked yet easy-to-use micro controller is the ultimate choice for smooth project navigation, demanding editing tasks and mouse-free recording sessions. With a total of 17 buttons, user-definable functions and a pioneering touch device, this controller is a valuable addition to any project studio or live performance setup.
The high-precision touch-sensitive slider forms the centerpiece of the CMC Transport Controller. This innovative, multi-purpose touch device takes DAW control to a whole new level. Six working modes allow you to jog or shuttle through the project, to tap in the tempo, to scroll, zoom and browse with the convenience of a slide. Now you can control your audio with your fingertips " it' faster, smoother and more accurate than with the computer mouse. To never get lost, the red LED lights provide visual feedback on the exact position.
Apart from this novelty, the CMC-TP houses buttons for all major transport functions, including play, stop, record, cycle, fast forward and rewind. Additional buttons for inserting markers, setting the locator range or inserting a new track, to name a few, make the CMC-TP a powerful recording and editing assistant. Best of all, four of its buttons can even hold a second function, which can be freely assigned by the user.
Introducing the CMC series
The CMC series is made up of six USB-powered controllers that can be individually combined to form a custom-made Cubase control desk. Whether beat creation, transport control, editing or multi-track mixing, there is the perfect model for every task. Each of the six slim-sized units is unique in its own way and features a dedicated set of illuminated rotary encoders, touch faders or pads " each of them designed to take hands-on control of a specific section in Cubase. Due to the adoption of Cubase' icons and color scheme, users will instantly feel at home with the workflow. Take control, keep focused and be flexible " the CMC series will tremendously speed up your recording, editing and mixing workflow no matter if you are in the studio or on the go.
Top features:
* Six unique micro controllers perfectly tailored to Cubase users
* Modular approach allows for flexible expansion
* Most seamless Cubase integration ever seen
* Innovative technology including high-resolution touch fader
* Portable due to compact design and USB power
Total modularity
CMC stands for the world' first truly integrated, modular controller system. Made up of six unique units, each designed for a dedicated purpose, the CMC micro controllers can be individually combined to form a personal Cubase control desk " with up to nine CMC units. With the included joint plate, it is a straightforward matter to fix several CMC units. Plus, you can even combine the PD and FD models with Steinberg' CC121 Advanced Integration controller, leaving no control request unanswered. For the first time ever, it is possible to individually design a personal controller system that exactly fits your needs. You can stack up to nine CMC units to form your individual control solution
Highly responsive touch controller with LED-based visual feedback
The CMC-FD (#H77578), CMC-CH (#H77575) and CMC-TP (#H77577) controllers introduce a newly developed, high-precision touch device that offers a whole new approach to DAW control. While the CMC-FD and CMC-CH house a high-precision touch fader with a resolution of up to 1,024 steps and integrated LED lights, the CMC-TP comes with a multi-functional touch slider. The ultra-high resolution, integrated LED lights for visual feedback and dedicated working modes make this innovative control solution a smart and intuitive addition to any studio and live performance setup.
Smart and intuitive: the AI Knob
First introduced with Steinberg' CC121 Advanced Integration Controller, the revolutionary AI Knob is an exceptionally helpful œpoint and control knob. Rather than attempting to replace traditional mouse pointing devices, the AI Knob harnesses the flexibility of a computer mouse to offer unprecedented speed when editing parameters and adjusting settings. The computer mouse is simply moved over the parameter, which is then automatically placed under full precision control through the AI Knob, with no need to make any additional settings in Cubase, any additional software module or on the interface itself.
Visual feedback galore
The CMC-QC (#H77576) and CMC-CH units house convenient rotary encoders with green LED lights. The LED brightness varies according to the encoder position: the farther from the center, the brighter the LED. And also the CMC-PD (#H77579) features 16 highly responsive rubber pads with LED-based background lights. Best of all, the lights change colors depending on the velocity level " from green to orange over to red.
Slick and mobile
Small in size but big in value, the CMC series are your perfect partner on the road. The units are small enough to fit in your pocket, on a master keyboard or wherever desired. Since the CMC units are powered via USB, you don't need any additional power supply. And with a unique level of handling quality, the CMC series is suited for both crowded live venues and project studios ranging from bedroom to mansion.
AI: Advanced Integration
AI stands for Advanced Integration, being a technology developed in close collaboration between Steinberg and Yamaha. The AI technology allows for a seamless integration of the DAWs developed by Steinberg into the digital audio hardware from Yamaha and Steinberg. AI provides plug-and-play at an as-yet unknown level. The software automatically carries out the required settings of the connected hardware, such as selecting drivers and the remote settings " it couldn™t be easier.
Instant plug and play with Cubase
Each CMC controller features full plug and play with Cubase, requiring no additional setup as a controller device. A swift, one-step installation procedure is all that' required. Once the installation has been performed, Cubase detects the device when launched and automatically binds the unit into the Cubase production environment. To reflect this, the Ready lamp lights up and the controller is ready to assume control.
Cubase AI 6 included
Each of the CMC units includes an exclusive download version of Cubase AI, a special, compact version of the popular Cubase music production system. Together with one or more CMC units, you have a complete system solution for fine-tuning your music to perfection.

For the joyce of the Latin American fans the ANIMAX (Latin America) channel announced its teaser trailer for the premiere of Death Note which will begin broadcast in the channel on March 3rd, 2009.
It's been less than two years since Death Note (anime) ended in Japan and is going to start airing in my country. This week is going to be eternal to me.

Am i going crazy?
I finished watching Death Note, and i just cant stop thinking about Light's death.
Im watching the ending over & over again. [just the last 5 min], and i cant believe its over.
Death Note is a truley amazing well done anime.
I didnt cry yet but i feel like im going too. [i know, its just an anime, i feel stupid....].
This anime touched me really deeply.
I know myself, now it will take me time to get over it.
I know that now everyday i will watch the end over & over again.
Its never happend to me with another anime.
I remember how its started so simpley, how he found the book... how he saw Ryuk in the first time.... and in the end he just died.
Cant stop thinking about it.
Am i just crazy? ;_;

Not at all, it's perfectly natural to not want something that you really enjoyed to end and to feel sadness when it does end. Doesn't matter if it's anime or not. But instead of watching the ending over and over again you could move on to the manga or the movies to try out new things.

I actually Just finnished the series, and I noticed there was alot of questioning about good and evil. Very few were answered. Which gave me frustration. I mean, if they wern't going to have an answer and leave it up to us to ponder about it, then why bring it up when theres way too many open questions that can have more than one answer to it? Thats just me though. It was okay, and rational to ask at the begining but it seems they kept asking. Over all i enjoyed the series. I cryed when L died. (yah big baby!! ) hehe

I can't tell about him.Is he a crazed killer all the time, or is it the Notebook causing him to be like that? Because he seemed alright when he was in solitary confinement, but as soon as he got back the notebook he got all evil again. Is that like some alter ego of his? Is the power hungry man who would kill anyone and everyone the same one who is nice, smart, and has a altogether good life, because it doesn't seem possible to me.

after L died and i noticed there were plenty more episodes, i didn't think it would be very interesting (i was sure that Kira would take the world into his hands). But, with the introduction of Near (and to a MUCH lesser extent, Mello) the series easily managed to sustain its quality in its sometimes overwhelming complexity.

so this is a random thought thread?
first off, love death note. i think L is over rated and Kira is the coolest cat on the block.
Spoiler for death note, when l dies:
but anyways, death note, pretty awesome.
the thing is that the show wouldn't explain the aftermath of a whole different ending if it didn't with the regualure ending.
and the whole orphanige, probably wouldn't. they woulda figured it out and killed light, or maybe he would have just killed off the less challenging orphanige. but anyways with how crazy the show got at the end, i dought that it would have countinued if it could have(by changing the manga series) because it was just to messed up.
...but it did have some nice music playing...

Beautiful black and white canvas prints adorned the walls and sets the scene for a retro shopping experience. And the clothes! What beautiful pieces there were, I simply did not know where to look first! There were maxi dresses, gorgeous jumpsuits, crop tops, high-waisted denim shorts and so much more.
|Thank you to the lovely ladies for being so helpful!
|Spilt Milk swimsuits, gorgeous!
The ladies could have their nails done by Nail Dresses; 'I <3 the Lot' Nail Dresses were made for the occasion. Too lovely!
Girls being girls, my friend Tara and I had about 15 pieces to try on; eventually we narrowed it down to two gorgeous pieces - Tara bought a gorgeous cardigan and I am absolutely in love with the polka dot vest I bought, lucky girls!
There was also a small section of Wardrobe pieces, a store which Ash also owns. I also was lucky enough to meet Jo Alexander who owns the clothing label Moth Clothing - also such beautiful pieces!
|Jo Alexander and Ash Battle - was lovely to meet you both!
|I <3 The Lot :)
All in all the shop looked aboslutely amazing, and there is no doubt that it will be hugely successful!
Congratulations Ash!

Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher believes the return of Jose Mourinho will see Chelsea topple Manchester United and become Premier League champions.
Liverpool and Chelsea had an intense rivalry in Europe when Mouirnho was last in charge of the Stamford Bridge club, though the Reds could not match his sides in the league.
Carragher saw how good the Portuguese's last Chelsea side were in winning two consecutive titles and believes he can do similarly in his second spell.
One of the biggest factors he believes will be in Mourinho's favour is that he already has a very good side on his hands and will not need to make wholesale changes.
Add a great squad to the motivational qualities of Moruinho returning and the Anfield legend believes you get an irresistible combination.
"If you put me on the spot and ask me right now, 'Who will win the league?', then I'd pick Chelsea," he is quoted as saying in the Mirror.
"I'd pick them because Mourinho is coming back, and also because they actually have a very good team - they had a really good team last season, with some fantastic players."
Carragher will not be trying to thwart Mourinho sides as he did of old as he will be watching on from television studios.
The 35-year-old decided to hang up his boots at the end of last season and has taken on a role as a pundit for liver screening of the Premier League.

Time For Sports Leagues To Embrace, Not Fight, Free Online Streams
from the don't-make-the-same-mistake... dept
Sport, like music and mainstream media beforehand, has a stark choice before its governing bodies. If they remain resolute in their determination to follow old-school methods of disseminating their product, they will quickly drown under the deluge of fraudsters and pirates all too eager to capitalise on their mistakes. On the other hand, if they realise that they have to adapt to financially survive, they need to move fast to prevent a potentially catastrophic loss of income.He notes that at least some leagues have figured this out:
The Indian Premier League (IPL) cricket games are broadcast live and free via YouTube, effectively heading off at the pass any rogue broadcasters seeking to steal their feed for themselves. The IPL authorities have a guaranteed income from their YouTube deal and, with a dedicated millions-strong audience subscribing to their feed, advertisers know how many people they can reach via the stream and how much each commercial slot is worth.But, of course, others have not:
Yet with all the signs pointing to a brave new world of online broadcasting, the industry dinosaurs continue plodding along the road to extinction. Premier League enforcers boast of their success in shutting down a handful of illegal feeds, but most online sports piracy goes unpunished. With mobile phones providing yet another alternative to television in the race for audiences, there is even more pressure on rights owners to be proactive rather than simply shut the stable door behind the bolting horse.In the end, it's difficult to see how any sports league thinks it makes sense to spend all this effort trying to fight against giving people what they want, when there are plenty of easy and lucrative ways to monetize such demand directly. It's too bad that so many leagues are slow to realize this.

Released just two weeks ago, "120 Dessert Recipe Favorites: Mary Engelbreit's Fan Fare Cookbook," by Mary Engelbreit, is the third installment in Engelbreit's "Fan Fare" cookbook collection.
Following in the footsteps of "120 Family Favorite Recipes" and "120 Slow Cooker Recipe Favorites," Engelbreit's latest cookbook is decorated with the author's trademark artwork and filled with the personal dessert recipes of friends and family.
The good looking Humdingers (made with dates, nuts and crispy rice cereal), pumpkin dessert and microwave-baked chocolate Bundt cake, the three recipes I've tried so far, proved to be exceedingly easy to make and were as delicious as they looked. Each dessert baked up sweet and rich and may be cut into portions smaller than what the recipe indicates. The pumpkin squares, for instance, calls for cutting them into 12 squares, but, really, even cutting them into 24 squares still provides a generous enough portion that, for all intents and purposes, is like eating a piece of homemade pumpkin pie.
I plan to keep this dessert cookbook closeby through the holiday season, and you may expect to see the book's recipe for Aebleskivers (Danish Pancake Balls), as we move closer to Christmas. For more information about this cookbook and Engelbreit's other "Fan Fare" cookbooks, visit www.andrewsmcmeel.com or Mary Engelbreit's website at www.maryenglebriet.com.

All recipes from "120 Dessert Recipe Favorites: Mary Engelbreit's Fan Fare Cookbook," by Mary Engelbreit, Andrews McMeel Publishing, LLC (www.andrewsmcmeel.com)
Recipe by Lisa Raymaker, Charlotte, North Carolina
1 (8-ounce) package chopped dates
½ cup butter
1 cup sugar
Pinch of salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups crispy rice cereal
1 cup chopped nuts, such as pecans or walnuts
Confectioners' sugar
Grease a 9-inch square pan.
Cook the dates, butter, sugar and salt in a medium saucepan over low heat for about 6 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat and add the vanilla, crispy rice cereal, and nuts. Sprinkle confectioners' sugar in the bottom of the prepared pan, spread the mixture in the pan and top with more confectioners' sugar. Let cool completely, then cut into squares. Makes 9 squares.
Kitchen Ade note: These are sweet and can easily be cut into smaller size squares.
Recipe by Fran Rice, Lincoln, California
1 (15.25-ounce) box spice cake mix
½ cup finely chopped pecans
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon baking soda
¾ cup plus 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin purée (not pie filling)
¾ cup sugar
1 (12-ounce) can evaporated milk
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
¾ teaspoon ground ginger
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
2 eggs
Fresh whipped cream (with a pinch of ground nutmeg added, if desired)
Chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
Chocolate sprinkles (optional)
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9 x 13-inch baking dish. To make the crust, combine the cake mix, pecans, salt, baking soda and oil in a large bowl and blend. Press* the crust evenly into the prepared pan. Bake for 20 minutes, or until the crust is slightly brown. While the crust is baking, make the pumpkin filling. In a medium bowl, combine all of the filling ingredients and blend until smooth. Remove the crust from the oven and pour the filling over it. Bake for 30 minutes more, or until the center is firm. Let cool completely. Spread the whipped cream over the pumpkin filling. Garnish with the pecans and/or chocolate sprinkles. Refrigerate any leftovers. Makes 12 squares.
Kitchen Ade note: Because the crust ingredients actually mixes up more like batter than dough, you will be spreading the mixture into the pan, rather than pressing it. In addition, if you prefer smaller portions, cut the dessert into 24 squares rather than 12.
Recipe by Karen Wold-Wallis, Oceanside, California
Unsweetened cocoa powder, for dusting*
1 (15.25-ounce) box chocolate fudge cake mix
1 (12-ounce) package double-chocolate chips*
Generously grease a 10-inch microwavable Bundt pan and dust with unsweetened cocoa powder. Prepare the cake mix batter according to package directions. Fold in the chocolate chips. Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake in the microwave at 50 percent power for 11 minutes. If using a microwave without a turntable, give the pan a half turn. Continue microwaving for 4 to 5 minutes at full power. Let cool for 10 minutes on a flat surface and then turn out onto a serving dish. *Kitchen Ade note: I did not have a 10-inch microwavable Bundt pan, so I substituted with a microwave oven-safe 10-inch (12-cup) tube pan. I sprayed the pan with Baker's Joy and did not dust the pan with cocoa powder, which can sometimes produce a burnt taste. If you cannot locate "double" chocolate chips, substitute with an equal amount (2 cups) of bittersweet or semi-sweet chocolate chips. Ghiradelli sells Double Chocolate Bittersweet Baking Chips in 56-ounce bags via their website at www.ghirardelli.com. The cacao content of Ghiradelli's Double Chocolate Bittersweet Baking chips is 50 to 55 percent.

Well below what audiophiles normally expect to pay for superbly engineered and hand crafted components. Best Value of any cables available. First of all, there is no other cable on the market at this price point that even comes close to these. No hype, No snake oil No voodoo. Pure, simple, outstanding cables with performance approaching the very best and most expensive audio cables on the market, for a fraction of the price. Well below what audiophiles normally expect to pay for superbly engineered and hand crafted components. Best Value of any cables available. The majority of the high definition speaker cables (typically over $1,000 per pair) are made from silver conductors with Teflon insulation. These expensive materials generally are thought to sound the best. Prices for these premium speaker cables are high for these reasons: The materials ( silver and Teflon) and the labor-intensive processes, both are costly. Then, the manufacturer expends enormous resources on advertising, to maintain their brand." These advertising expenses must be added to the final product cost. Also, speaker cables are not sold directly to end users. Instead, manufacturers sell to stereo dealers who resell the product to end users, after adding their markup. Dealers typically charge twice their cost. They must earn this amount, as profit, in order to survive, because they, too, have necessary high costs- rent, advertising, salaries and sales commissions, business taxes, etc. Let's analyze the distribution of funds paid by the end user for a pair of 8-foot silver and Teflon speaker cables from a name brand manufacturer: Cost of Materials $ ..200. Assembly Labor Costs $ ..175. Administrative and Sales Costs $ ..125. Advertising Costs $..225. Manufacturer's Profit $..275. Dealer Mark-Up $1,000. TOTAL COST TO END USER $2,000 All my cables are made by hand by me one at a time, I'm a small operation working at my home, with a small markup (40%) including labor. Unlike large cable manufactures which have a large overhead and typically charge 16 - 20 times cost. My mission is to the finest audio components, of the finest materials, at a reasonable price. The wire is MIL spec aerospace stranded silver plated copper wire, silver being the best conductor of electricity, Teflon insulation is very close to air resulting in very low capacitance which makes the cable suitable for any audio component as it will not contribute to instability,or absorb the signal. Teflon insulation is very thin resulting in a cable that is lightweight and flexible. This cable will not stress the jacks on your components, but is very large gauge.

Glad to here you are embracing the DE safety razor. I think in time you will find that as your technique improves, your skin will feel much better. I am a firm believer that the multi blade cartridge razors are harsh and irritating on your skin.... partly because of the multiple blades all at once on your skin..... but mostly because I feel guys are less likely to use a sharp blade because the cartridges cost so much that they try to use them as long as possible (which is usually too long).
To answer your question, simply rinse well. I use all different kinds of shave soap and cream.... some lightly scented and some heavily scented. I have never used one that the scent of the soap or cream lingers very long after the shave when rinsed well after the shave. I have a post shave routine that consists of a warm water rinse, a cold water rinse, spraying witch hazel on my face and neck, applying an aftershave lotion (splash), and then an aftershave balm. It is overkill.... but it works for me. The aftershave scent can sometimes linger depending on what I use..... but shave soaps and creams typically do not contain enough fragrance oil for the scent to stick around very long. If it is, you just need to rinse more after your shave.
You could also try an unscented soap or cream.
Hope this helps.

Wikileaks Reveals Super Injunction Blocking Reporting On Massive Australian Corruption Case Involving Leaders Of Malaysia, Indonesia & Vietnam
from the no-free-press-for-you dept
The super-injunction invokes "national security" grounds to prevent reporting about the case, by anyone, in order to "prevent damage to Australia's international relations". The court-issued gag order follows the secret 19 June 2014 indictment of seven senior executives from subsidiaries of Australia's central bank, the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA). The case concerns allegations of multi-million dollar inducements made by agents of the RBA subsidiaries Securency and Note Printing Australia in order to secure contracts for the supply of Australian-style polymer bank notes to the governments of Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam and other countries.It's the reasoning given that's most troubling:
The suppression order lists 17 individuals, including "any current or former Prime Minister of Malaysia", "Truong Tan San, currently President of Vietnam", "Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (also known as SBY), currently President of Indonesia (since 2004)", "Megawati Sukarnoputri (also known as Mega), a former President of Indonesia (2001–2004) and current leader of the PDI-P political party" and 14 other senior officials and relatives from those countries, who specifically may not be named in connection with the corruption investigation.
The document also specifically bans the publication of the order itself as well as an affidavit affirmed last month by Australia's representative to ASEAN Gillian Bird, who has just been appointed as Australia's Permanent Representative to the United Nations. The gag order effectively blacks out the largest high-level corruption case in Australia and the region.
The purpose of these orders is to prevent damage to Australia's international relations that may be caused by the publication of material that may damage the reputations of specified individuals who are not the subject of charges in these proceedings.It's difficult to see how that's a legitimate reason to completely hide the entire case from public view, when it appears to cover a variety of important matters of which the public should be aware. If some people may be embarrassed about this, even as they're not subject to the charges in the proceedings, then they should easily be able to explain that fact. There are lots of lawsuits that will embarrass some people (even those not directly subject to the case). But we don't hide them when they deal with everyone else. The decision to do it here really smacks of the "high court" / "low court" distinction between the treatment those in power receive vs. what those not in power do.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You are humming with happiness on the holiday weekend. You have been looking forward to a trip or a romantic escape for quite some time and refuse to let little criticisms or hardships bring you down.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Don't be tardy to the party. You can lead others to the trough of fun and make them drink. Your gaiety and warm heartedness can melt the heart of even the most unpleasant grouch who shows up.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You will need to watch your p's and q's. You should be optimistic about your ability to successfully navigate the ins and outs of a powerful social setting, although there is a tendency to live in the past.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): Try on your mood ring. If you listen to sad songs, you become melancholy; if you hear dance music you become energized. You are influenced by the atmosphere around you and sensitive to surroundings.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Choose those to imitate wisely. You may admire your betters or feel the need to follow a guru. Imitation may be the most sincere of flattery, but you may inadvertently mimic undesirable traits by mistake.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You care enough to send the very best. You might not have very much to share but what you do offer to your guests this weekend will be top notch. Better one sip of champagne than a barrel of beer.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Stay home and don't bother to answer the phone. Someone may be seeking a partner as a security blanket or for monetary reasons rather than for harmonious companionship. Business and pleasure won't mix.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): All is fair in love and war. You can see clearly now that security, trust, and reliability are what is most important to you. You are equal to any intense situation that tests your dedication or stamina.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): A worry or concern about what is truthful or not is sapping the strength from a relationship. Feed a relationship the proper foods for it to flourish, such as trust, appreciation, kindness, and tolerance.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You can be noted for your good deeds or become notorious for the lack of them. If you want to earn respect and admiration it is necessary to do the right thing, even if it hurts a little to do so.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Get something real and concrete accomplished this weekend. Going around in circles can create a whirlpool that sucks you in and may drown your hopes. Don't worry about what you can't control.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Your talents unfold gracefully as they are required. You may have an opportunity to ride along in an ever-expanding sphere of influence among people who can help you and make you more successful.
IF MAY 28 IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: You might feel like passion's plaything as this year unfolds. You are almost obsessed by attaining your dreams and quite willing to work to achieve them. However, your business savvy is not in top condition during the next four weeks, so do not make investments or job changes. Your hard work and dedication will help gain you recognition by October, November or December. In the meantime, circle August on your calendar as a good time to take a vacation or have a no-strings-attached fling.

Mint, which just released its latest version (Linux Mint 12 Lisa), has become the most popular Linux distribution on DistroWatch. Seizing the top spot from Ubuntu, the GNOME 3-based distro has evolved from a mere spin to a serious competitor to Canonical's flagship product. As Mint continues to dominate DistroWatch, some journalists have already come to a conclusion that Ubuntu is no longer the most popular distro around. How true is that claim? Is Ubuntu's popularity really declining? The answer to both these questions is Yes and No.
Yes, Ubuntu's popularity is declining, but Mint's not to blame.
With Unity, Ubuntu managed to annoy a lot of its loyal users. Regular Linux users, who relished the comfort of a clean simplistic UI, were presented with something entirely different and confusing. With Ocelot, Canonical did manage to alleviate many of those issues. However, Unity still remains a punching bag for longtime Linux users. Since there's no denying that Unity's complexities have coerced veteran Linuxians to look for better alternatives, many of them have found comfort in the familiar freshness of Mint and are probably never looking back. So, if Ubuntu's popularity is declining, it's here; it is the faithful Linux user who's quitting the distro.
Having said that, Ubuntu's popularity decline might not be something Canonical should worry about right now. Mint, though popular and better than the Unity-ridden distro, is still unknown to the average user who's trying to escape the shackles of a world with Windows. Over the years, Ubuntu has gained a lot of popularity among Windows users, and to them, it's still the virus-free magic pill that they can load onto a USB drive and impress their friends. Moreover, Ubuntu has a vast repertoire of support tools like Ask Ubuntu and Ubuntu Forums, which assure the user that if anything goes wrong, there's a huge community backing you.
If you check out Ubuntu's website, it's far more appealing and inviting than Linux Mint's homepage. Furthermore, Ubuntu has its very own cloud service, music store and even training courses that have been quite popular lately. Overall, it goes without saying that Ubuntu is still a behemoth in the wild distroland, and to topple it, ain't that easy.
What about those lost users then?
As I mentioned before, Canonical shouldn't worry about those lost users right now. They may be 100, 1000 or even a million, the number just doesn't matter. If they manage to pull off something impressive with Ubuntu 12.04 Precise Pangolin, I'm sure almost 90% of those users would hop back on to Unityland. For veteran Linux users, switching distros isn't a big deal. So, if Ubuntu does come out with something spectacular and useful of course, they'll definitely switch back.
So, what about Unity then?
Many journalists have attributed Ubuntu's much-hyped 'decline' to the contentious Unity interface. We all know what Unity is, what a launcher is, what global menu does, and how bad all that looks. But hey, does the average Windows user who has just started exploring Ubuntu know about these terms? Moreover, does he or she even care about them? Users just want a desktop that works for them. If they find it attractive and easy-to-use, they'll download and use it. In short, Unity isn't a cross Canonical has to bear for the rest of its life. It's just a small feature of the desktop that needs some work.
Oh but DistroWatch says…
Since when did DistroWatch become the ultimate authority on a distribution's popularity? Do they check each and every computer and see if users have switched to Mint? The answer is No. Currently, there is no way of telling whether a user has switched to Mint or any other distribution. Also, considering the fact that Ubuntu comes pre-installed on many laptops (see: Affordable Ubuntu Laptops) - its user base is undoubtedly much bigger than Mint. What's more, the UbuntuOne client, which recently released its Windows version, is bringing in many new users to Ubuntu. So that, coupled with Ubuntu's brand, still make it the no 1 Linux distribution around.

WESTCHESTER COUNTY, N.Y. -- Longtime Dobbs Ferry resident and "Law & Order" director Ed Sherin, died Thursday, May 4, in Nova Scotia. He was 87.
Sherin, who received eight Emmy nominations and won one Emmy for directing "Law & Order," was also known for his directing work on "Hill Street Blues," "Moonlighting," "L.A. Law," and "Homicide: Life on the Street."
Law & Order" creator Dick Wolf, said in a statement, Sherin was "a vital contributor to the success of 'Law & Order'" and "a consummate professional."
Married to actress Jane Alexander, Sherin was also active in the Directors Guild of America where he served three terms as National Vice President and was instrumental in establishing the DGA Honors and helping to establish a health care and pension plan for actors.
Sherin was born on Jan 15, 1930, in Harrisburg, Pa. He attended Brown University, before joining the armed forces and serving in the Korean War. After the war, he began acting in both theater and television before he discovered the directing bug.
Known for hiring New York actors, Sherin had 13 directing credits on Broadway, including "The Great White Hope," which won Tony Awards for best play, best actor for James Earl Jones and best-featured actress for his wife.
His last Broadway show was 2004's "Prymate," by Tony-winner Mark Medoff.
Sherin is survived by his wife; sons Anthony and Jonathan; step-son Jace Alexander; grandchildren Isabelle, Mac and Finn Alexander, Evan, and Vita Sherin and Hazel Sherin. He was predeceased by his son, Geoffrey, and sister, Edith Markson
A living memorial ceremony was held in Novia Scotia two years ago to mark his 85th birthday and was attended by everyone who knew and loved him.
