Unable to setup Ubuntu One sync with Tomboy

|Ubuntu One Servers
|tomboy (Ubuntu)
Bug Description
When setting up Tomboy to sync with Ubuntu One I'm unable to click Save in the Synchronization tab in Tomboy Preferences.
After getting the "Tomboy Web Authorization Successful - Please return to the Tomboy Preferences window and press Save to start synchronizing." screen in my browser I'm unable to actually click Save.
The Tomboy Preferences is stuck at "Authorizing in browser (Press to reset connection)" and the Save dialog is grayed out.
Screenshot attached in next comment.

I have the same issue. Tomboy allows me to select Ubuntu One in the sync options, but it doesn't stick. I am unable to sync to Ubuntu One.

I also tried:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure tomboy, but to no avail
This is on a fresh install of oneiric beta 1 plus updates (Sept 10, 2011).
Attached is the screen video of what the problem looks like. I've already activated ubuntu one, so it doesn't have that step. Just the bug trying to select it for synchronization.

At this point the Save dialog is still grayed out per my original screenshot attached above.
Changing from Tomboy Web to Ubuntu One results in the Authorizing in browser (Press to reset connection) button changing to Already Registered and the Save button is grayed out.

A temporary solution would be to tell tomboy that sync is set up directly by setting the respective gconf key:
- close tomboy
- Make sure you are logged in into ubuntu one e.G. using ubuntuone-
- start gconf-editor
- select the key /apps/tomboy/
- change it's value to the following word: ubuntuone
- close gconf-editor
- start tomboy
- preferences/sync preferences
- synchronize now
- sync Works.
Unfortunately tomboy seems to forget about this once in a while.

@Tobias: for a moment I taught this might work for me as well. Unfortunatelly, just one single note was taken from server, and an error occured. Manually sync I can not obtain the other notes, so I will wait for the automatic sync in 30 min.

Comment #16 works for me as well. I believe that I remember the same problem several Ubuntu-iterations ago.
#16 works for me but whenever I do a sync (manual or auto), it doesn't upload my notes to the server and says sync failed. It also asks me to download the server copy of the same note and rename my local note as old. But my local note is the newer note and it should have uploaded. For me only download is working.
|PeterPall (peterpall) wrote :
What I sometimes experience if I try to sync after tomboy has lost track
of what really happens is that tomboy doesn't dare to touch the contents
of notes on the local computer or on the server and finds it less risky to
- rename all notes on the local computer it doesn't dare to replace
- download all notes from the server
- and afterwards to upload all notes it has renamed.
The advantage of this approach is that you are sure not to loose a thing
The disadvantage is that you might end up with loads of notes in two
versions: An old and a new one.
Not sure if you encountered this kind of behavior.
I've had that behaviour which is fine since its safer, but this one is definitely a bug. It fails to sync on every sync right now, and this is a fresh and updated 11.10 beta 2 install. If I edit an existing note and sync, it doesn't upload my one at all, it just downloads the old one from the server (I'm syncing to Ubuntu One) and asks me to overwrite or rename my local note. It just doesn't want to upload at all.
It works for me after remove the last slash char.
|Herbert Balagtas (hbalagtas) wrote :
Removing the trailing slash worked for me too!
The workaround doesn't work well here...
removing the slash I can only sync half of my notes and sync says it fails.
I tried also to purge all the tomboy config files locally and tried again but same error.. just a part of available notes are synced with u1 servers.
Same issue here, removing the slash doesn't help, it just downloads the notes from the servers and ignores my local changes.

The update must be published in -proposed for 7 days no matter what. After
that, if verification of the fix has been done, it will progress into updates.
So, expect to see it in about 6 days.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Delivers Hilarious Trump Diss During DNC Speech: 'I'm Michael Jordan…'
NBA legend and writer/cultural critic Kareem Abdul-Jabber got a major laugh from the Democratic National Convention crowd with a dig at Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump at the DNC in Philadelphia on Thursday (July 28) night.
"Hello, everyone--I'm Michael Jordan, and I'm here with Hillary," Kareem joked as the crowd laughed; then, without missing a beat, added: "I said that because I know Donald Trump couldn't tell the difference."
Jabbar also shared the story of Humayun Khan, an army captain who was among 14 American-Muslim soldiers who have died in combat while serving the United States since 9/11. Khan and his family visited the Jefferson Memorial when they first arrived in the U.S.from United Arab Emirates.
"The words engraved there read, 'I have sworn upon the altar of God eternal, hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man,'" said the Lakers legend. "Donald Trump's idea to register Muslims and prevent them from entering our country is the very tyranny Jefferson abhorred.
"In 1777, Jefferson drafted the Virginia statute for religious freedom, which later became a model for the First Amendment," continued Jabbar. "Today's so-called religious freedom acts, like the one signed by Gov. Mike Pence of Indiana, are the opposite of what Jefferson wanted because they allow discrimination. And at its core, discrimination is a result of fear. Those who think Americans scare easily, enough to abandon our country's ideals for a false sense of security, underestimate our resolve. To them, we say only this: 'Not here, not ever.'"
The DNC has delivered several highlights thus far, most notably, President Barack Obama endorsing Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, former President Bill Clinton's personal paean to his wife and First Lady Michelle Obama's moving speech from the convention's first night.
"That is the story of this country, the story that has brought me to this stage tonight, the story of generations of people who felt the lash of bondage, the shame of servitude, the sting of segregation, but who kept on striving and hoping and doing what needed to be done so that today I wake up every morning in a house that was built by slaves," First Lady Obama stated. "And I watch my daughters, two beautiful, intelligent, black young women playing with their dogs on the White House lawn."

Bedlam, Bath and Beyond (World of the Storm Ravens, Book 1)
by J. D. Warren
My Rating:
Samantha is living in a suburban paradise. She has a gorgeous house, the perfect husband and adorable twin sons. Problem is, she thinks it is all too perfect. As it turns out, she's right. In reality, her milkman is the sexy shapeshifting leader of the Storm Ravens, her husband is a homicidal maniac who isn't even human and the twin sons are actually blood thirsty hell boars that have been sent to track her down. Now, with a little help from the Cor (the sexy mailman who's not really a milkman) and the rest of the Storm Ravens, she's on a mission to reclaim her life and stop the bad guys.
I really enjoyed this book. It is a fast-paced read with lots of excitement and a bit of romance. There are lots of interesting characters and funny dialogue. The main character is intelligent, funny and very likable. However, there are a few things that kept this book from earning a full five stars. First off, the title and book cover have basically nothing to do with the story! While this is not necessarily a bad thing, you might be disappointed if you are expecting the shopping-themed chick-lit that the title & cover suggest. The only other negative I found is that romance is definitely lacking something. It started off well, but by the end, I wanted to see a stronger connection between Cor and Samantha. In my opinion, if you're gonna risk your life for someone, there better be some a strong bond that you share with them. Unfortunately, I don't think the author developed enough of one between the two main characters. This didn't detracted from the story enough to make that much of a difference and I definitely will want to read the next book in this series.

1 comment:
The title of the book and the name of the main character (my oldest daugther's name is Samantha) are enough for me to be sold on it! The fact that it's such a fun read is gravy!
Thanks for the review :-D

London's solitary air ambulance could gain a companion if plans to seek funding from the City are successful.
Unlike our urban counterparts, Paris, New York and Sydney who have at least four air ambulances each, we rely on just one. London's Air Ambulance chief executive Graham Hodgkin aims to get funding for a second helicopter — the existing one currently spends up to six weeks per year undergoing maintenance. In the Financial Times, Hodgkin said:
"London is a city that can have up to 11m people in it at any time. Instinctively it feels vulnerable to have only one aircraft to do what we do."
We posted about London Air Ambulance's new chopper earlier this year along with some key facts about the service:
- The helicopter is not for transporting passengers – it's a rapid response unit that delivers an advanced trauma doctor and paramedic to a patient's side within minutes of their accident — demonstrated just yesterday when the helicopter landed on Waterloo Bridge after a man fell from a building.
- Trauma is the commonest cause of death for people age <45 including children, causing more lost years than cancer and cardiac arrest.
- The service is a charity and relies heavily on donations. It is not government funded and is only part-funded by the NHS.
To support London's Air Ambulance, you can donate here and buy things from the shop here.

The ideal case is to have all the time in the world to write a good essay. However, it is not always that way. Students do not always have too much time for writing. They always delay it for later, for tomorrow. However, that tomorrow finally comes and it is high time you start your writing. This is a better late than never essay, since even though it is late at least you remember to write it before the deadline.
These times you have to think extra quickly for ideas.
It is normal to panic, as long as it doesn't affect your writing in a negative way. However, you have to set your thoughts clearly and get rid of any negative feeling on the way. Give yourself some time to convince you can do it and take that attitude forward on the field. Take the paper and say to yourself "I'm going to impress my teacher and everyone else". Take the challenge, stay calm, positive and start the attack logically and systematically.
You don't need anyone to disturb you in this process. You are busy writing and you have to succeed. Turn off your phone. Sign out from all social networks. Go to a quiet place and hang the "Do not disturb" sign on the door. Sometime it helps if you install full-text editors in order to avoid being unintentionally distracted by anything surrounding the writing.
When you are finished, just quickly go through it again for proofreading and reward yourself for the completed work. You deserved it!

Take a moment to read about so many exciting district events and student/staff accomplishments!
Be the hero of the story! Join the EWG Sr. High Drama Club as they present Big Fish the Musical.
Based on the celebrated novel by Daniel Wallace and the acclaimed film directed by Tim Burton, BIG FISH centers on Edward Bloom, a traveling salesman who lives life to its fullest… and then some! Edward's incredible, larger-than-life stories thrill everyone around him – most of all, his devoted wife Sandra. But their son Will, about to have a child of his own, is determined to find the truth behind his father's epic tales. Overflowing with heart, humor and spectacular stagecraft, BIG FISH is an extraordinary new Broadway musical that reminds us why we love going to the theatre – for an experience that's richer, funnier and BIGGER than life itself.

The following information was provided by one proud parent:
The week of March 13- March 18 was RI Brain Week all over the state. There was a big hands-on expo at Brown, more stuff at URI (for kids) and it was all free. In conjunction with Brain week, RI-CART (the RI Consortium for Autism Research & Treatment) and the RIHS opened an Art Show at the Museum of Work and Culture. The Art Show includes pieces from all different mediums exclusively made by students and adults on the autism spectrum. Here is the site: http://www.brainweekri.org/through-our-eyes/
Nolan Powers was the only student from our school district invited to participate. He is in 3rd grade in Mrs. Barbour's class at Metcalf Elementary. The show runs through the end of this weekend for anyone interested in seeing the work of some gifted artists.
Our own Nicole Pichette was named the 2017 Duck Stamp Teacher of the Year. She recently hosted our big event to a full auditorium with RI young artists, teachers across the state, Fish & Wildlife personnel, and Congressman Langevin! MANY Exeter-West Greenwich students representing all of our schools once again placed in the annual Duck Stamp contest. Great job, Nicole!
Congratulations to Mrs. Sue Blake and Mrs. Kim Regan for being named advisors of the year for our Best Buddies program. Best Buddies is in its first year at the Senior High School, and the goal of the program is to pair students with disabilities with student mentors to build lasting and meaningful relationships through social activities. The program was recently highlighted at a School Committee meeting - what an amazing first year, and an incredible honor for our advisors to receive such recognition!
I recently visited Mrs. Johnson's third grade class at Metcalf as they were using technology to conduct research on important women in United states History. They were all extremely excited about their work as they shared new learning with me - and equally excited to be highlighted in this blog!
Last evening, Metcalf hosted its annual band concert for parents and community members. The highlight of the show was seeing Principal Ratigan sitting in the band alongside her fellow students as they shared their music for the audience. Mrs. Ratigan has been taking saxophone lessons from music teacher Miss Place and it was important to show that we are always learning! Great job to all.
Come see another production on May 11th at our Junior Senior High School. Wings is an original production of our Unified Theater group and it promises to be an inspirational and motivating experience for all to see.

At Charity Cars, it is our mission "to engage in activities that will uplift humanity." Our primary means for doing this is through automobile donations from people such as yourself. Your automobile donations are picked up, running or not, at a place and time convenient to you from one of our affiliated towing companies. We can pick up anywhere in the United States and can typically arrange pick up within 24 hours of your initial call to us.
We screen our applicants looking for people to whom the gift of a car or truck can make the most positive impact. We help the working poor, some of whom could take a job, or a better paying job, if they could only get a reliable means of transportation to and from the workplace. In rural areas, for example, public transportation may not be sufficient if it even exists. Sometimes the work itself being pursued requires an automobile.
For others, automobile donations mean the ability to make many necessary medical appointments for themselves or a loved one. Some of our applicants are looking for a means to transition from government or charitable assistance to a more independent and productive life, or they are trying to rebuild their lives after a natural disaster or domestic violence. We're in the business of helping others and providing a hassle-free and enjoyable means for people like yourself to partner with us to strengthen your community and lend a hand to your neighbors in need.
Since 1996, we've taken automobile donations in this way to help the needy. Our efforts have been covered on the Good Morning America program on ABC as well as the CBS News and Montel show. People magazine covered our charitable efforts in an article, and we are very proud to have been honored with the Walt Disney World Outstanding Community Service award.
Charity Cars, Inc. is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, Federal ID # 593362703. If we provide your vehicle to a struggling family, you may able to deduct the fair market value of your automobile donations from your taxes, although, we must stress that every individual's tax situation is unique – consult your tax preparer or accounting professional for advice on how giving to Charity Cars will affect your tax status. We are set up to be able to process gifts and donations besides automobile donations and can accept cash donations as well as donations of real estate or any other assets. Contact our customer service professionals if you have any questions or concerns. We look forward to hearing from you.

Accept it or not. Like it or dislike it. Justice Markandey Katju will end his term as the most controversial and outspoken Press Council of India Chairman. His single comment on an issue gives a lot of food for thought and airtime to television news channels who inadvertently say, "Today India is hearing. The people of India needs an answer!" Sigh! Even Ekta Kapoor's serials were less dramatic!
Sometimes, I wonder that is every and any kind of publicity really the best publicity? Well, the likes of Rakhi Sawant, Sherlyn Chopra, Poonam Pandey might now see a lot of people joining their bandwagon driving the media persons around them. Latest yet unnoticed entry is Mr. Katju. First of all, I respect Mr. Katju a lot. He has shown the guts to come and speak in public sphere time and again against ill-practices in states against media and the wrongdoings by media itself.
Pic: Retired Supreme Court of India Justice Markandey Katju
But, some of his statements have been perplexing. The latest jaw-dropping statement made by the Retired Supreme Court Judge is that, "Pakistan is a fake country, and one day it will reunite with India along with Bangladesh." At a time when both the neighbor countries are disturbed internally and India's foreign policy has taken a beating, such statements won't amuse many.
He may confuse you with his words many a times. When he sees that he is in danger then he says that he has made that particular statement as a citizen of India, and when he sees that he has to take decision, he asserts his authority as a retired judge. Swapping roles fast, eh?
He further goes on to say, "A fake country was created in the name of Pakistan. It is an artificially created entity by the British to make Hindus and Muslims keep fighting with each other, to stop India from becoming a powerful industrialized nation," he said, answering questions after a symposium on 'Reporting Terror: How Sensitive is the media?' on 07 April 2013.
I am not against his statement but I do not like the timing as well as the free publicity element behind it. Without digressing from the subject, I would say that unless the politicians stop mixing their profession with religion and avoid from calling for caste based voting, there shall not be any solution or occurrence of merger between countries.
Once he said, "Ninety per cent of Indians are idiots. You people don't have brains in your heads." Subsequently, a PIL was filed against him and he eventually said sorry.
If that wasn't enough, read his one more remarkable statement! On September 3, Justice Katju had written an article in The Hindu, in which he, inter alia, went on to say:
"The level of intellect of many teachers is low, because many of them have not been appointed on merit but on extraneous considerations. To give an example, when I was a judge of Allahabad High Court I had a case relating to a service matter of a mathematics lecturer in a university in Uttar Pradesh.
Since the teacher was present in court I asked him how much one divided by zero is equal to.
He replied, Infinity.
I told him that his answer was incorrect, and it was evident that he was not even fit to be a teacher in an intermediate college. I wondered how had he become a university lecturer."
Justice Katju claims that anything divided by zero is indeterminate. He is wrong and the lecturer was right because any non-zero number divided by zero is infinity. It is zero divided by zero that is indeterminate.
While one can understand the plight of the poor lecturer who did not have the courage to correct the judge hearing his case, I am appalled at the timidity of "some of the top senior academicians" of Jawaharlal Nehru University, to whom Justice Katju narrated the incident.
Well there a many startling statement made by him, but they cannot be put in here.By the way another one was, when he said that, "Sanjay Dutt should be pardoned because he was part of Munnabhai film, spreading Mahatma Gandhi's ideologies…" And the list goes on.

|AbouAssi, K., & Trent, D. (2013). Understanding Local Participation Amidst Challenges: Evidence from Lebanon in the Global South. VOLUNTAS: International Journal of Voluntary and Nonprofit Organizations, 24(4), 1113-1137.
|Scholars frame local participation as a continuum of tools, processes, and values, with outcomes primarily serving implementers or beneficiaries. Donors have adopted participation in their policies and are asking local partners in the Global South to implement participation in their work on the ground. Development management practitioners in the Global South have unique understanding and practice of local participation. This article analyzes the status of local participation in Lebanon using recent empirical data. We address Lebanese DM practitioners' perceptions of participation. They relate that participation is used in a limited way, as a tool at best. We also identify some of the underlying conditions: weak readiness and understanding; lack of coordinated efforts; and rhetorical use of the participation paradigm. The form of participation changes as these conditions change. We recommend modest expectations of citizen participation, investing efforts to develop organizational readiness, enhance cross-sector coordination, and secure more serious donor engagement.
|AbouAssi, K. (2012). Hands in the Pockets of Mercurial Donors: NGO Response to Shifting Funding Priorities. Nonprofit and Voluntary Sector Quarterly, 42(3), 584-602.
|The NGO–donor relationship is especially volatile. NGOs in developing countries heavily rely on foreign donor funding and donor dominance is evident. This article explores the relationship at times when donors revise funding priorities and partner NGOs try to adapt. The article draws on qualitative research of multiple observations to study the decisions of four NGOs in response to several shifts in donor funding. The analysis reveals variation in NGO responses to such shifts: suspend the relationship, reach common ground, automatically execute the donor's interests, and voluntarily and deliberately adapt to the situation. Building on Hirschman's typology, four modes of NGOs' response are identified: exit, voice, loyalty, and, a newly proposed mode, adjustment. Additional interpretation of NGOs' responses and possible implications for NGO management are discussed.
|AbouAssi, K. (2010). International Development Management through a Southern Lens. Public Administration and Development Journal, 30(2): 116-123.
|Development Management (DM) has always been seen through the lens of the Global North. Taking its cue from Brinkerhoff and Brinkerhoff's (2010) study on the state of international DM from a Northern perspective, this article provides a complementary perspective from Lebanon in order to spark a North–South debate on the state of DM in terms of its values and institutional agendas and the role of government. The article concludes with a discussion on some implications for policy and practice in Lebanon and the DM more generally, suggesting that the Southern perspective is cautiously more tolerant of politics in development and that the role of government in development should be that of an active partner and facilitator.

Central Texas Regional Mobile Authority finds solutions to the congestion needs of the metropolitan area. Mike Heiligenstein, Executive Director of the CTRMA, spoke at a recent transportation forum about the growing congestion problem and the infrastructure needs in Texas.
Toll roads and other issues were discussed as solutions to the congestion and poorly used highways. Heiligenstein talked about the low numbers for State Highway 130. The route from San Antonio to Austin is long and windy and narrow in spots. He speaks about the solution and how it may not be to add lanes to the highway. Toll roads are not the only solution, but they do help to finance the projects. Instead of using tax dollars, user revenue from toll roads has financed many projects. Tags that help to toll cars and trucks differently would help. Trucks and farm equipment cause wear and tear on roads quickly.
Congestion and road repair are two main concerns facing Texas traffic. These issues will not be solved with only one solution. Different modes of problem solving have to be utilized in order to achieve the goals of less congested road ways and better conditions of county roads. The CTRMA is a private, local organization that works to help improve these conditions through a variety of solutions.
The goal of the CTRMA is to improve the road and travel conditions in Williamson and Travis Counties. They are an independent government agency created in 2002 with the expressed purpose of creating better conditions in and around the greater Texas area. The organization is overseen by a seven member board of directors with Mike Heiligenstein as the Executive Director. Staffing needs are addressed based on the individual project needs. They are operating under Texas Transportation Code Chapter 370 and are allowed to make decisions based on needs. They develop individual and unique needs based on

I guess amputation must feel something like this. Delivering Geen to the Shippers was more emotional than I expected. Rather like waving your kid away onto the bus for their first day in school.
Terrible wind and rain overnight from storm Katie, the same rain that washed out our Chelsea Cruise plans, meant I had been awake most of the night before the five o'clock alarm. An eventful trip up, London was like it had just had a riot: fences torn down, rubbish and debris still flying around in the winds. At Clapham North, the police had cut a single lane path through a massive tree that had fallen on both footpaths and four lanes of road. At the bottom of the A11, I came very close to rear ending three cars that stopped suddenly to avoid a two foot deep flood blocking the way. Having fought off the worst nature could put in our path, it seemed rather mundane to get stuck on the motorway for half an hour while the police cordoned off a hazardous tanker that had broken down in a bad place.
Geen seems to have built up a resistance to departing for new continents. Before leaving for Africa, she blew off a load of water in a stroppy fit after the fan failed two miles from home. This time, before she shipped out to Asia, she climbed the side of the trailer like a spoilt pram escaper, only restrained by the winch cable. In the darkness she really looked like she was straining at the leash. When we finally got to Cars depot in Suffolk, Geen then didn't want to get off the trailer. The winch jammed up, so, after a bit of lateral thinking, we got one of the wheel bars out, skidded Geen in reverse which turned her slightly on the trailer, this released the winch and she was gone.
Into strangers hands, a sort of 80 day parc ferme. We see her again 36 hours before the start. We can then add in all the fluids, foods, medicines, spare parts that weren't ready in time or aren't permitted to ship in the car and our personal kit.
We will also have to swap the existing front suspension units for the new springs we'll hand carry to Beijing, bin the current spring spares and mount up the spare dampers. We're going to be busy those first days in China. Usefully we'll have a bit of time to tune in the mark six suspension before the first time trials.
Amazing to think they get three of these cars in one forty foot container, even then, with maybe 70 cars originating in the UK, it's a lot of packing, organising and big metal boxes.
A last lingering look…we have no plan for what we do if the car doesn't make it over to China, so it will be a major relief to be re-united on the 10th June.

Hi, y'all
November 27th, 2012 (05:21 pm)
Even though I don't post to LJ anymore (because I do that here now), I wanted to say again that I'm still reading my LJ friends and probably not commenting as often as I should. I know that many of you have faced challenges this year. I hope as 2012 draws to a close, you find much to be grateful for and can look forward to a terrific 2013.
I'm grateful for you.

Mustard Seed Eureka!
10 comments:
Amen, thanks for the reminder.ReplyDelete
Great post, and a gentle reminder! :-)ReplyDelete
Everything starts somewhere and it's usually a small beginning that builds. When we start with big faith or big ideas, it becomes easier to pick them apart and find fault.ReplyDelete
Wrote By Rote
Thank you so much for the gracious comment you left on my post "Rabble in the Church". It's fellow Christians like yourself that give me the encouragement to keep blogging. Thanks again.ReplyDelete
Oh and by the way...great post !!!!!ReplyDelete
Yes, from the smallest thing can grow a great kingdom! I remember one of the Laurel & Hardy shorts, and they were aspiring entrepreneurs and their motto was 'From Little Acorns Great Oak Trees Grow', and although it was meant to be funny, it has a ring of truth. Most people who become great at something, whatever it might be, assuming they aren't wealthy or have influence or connections at the start, have to start small, have to start somewhere.ReplyDelete
Where faith is concerned, even Christians of long standing I think can wander around without faith for whatever reason; until we stop struggling perhaps and just learn to lean fully on God, His promises and His Son. It is certain that whoever we are, and whatever our standing with God, we will all have struggles in life; how we approach these struggles will be the difference between whether they are stumbling stones, leading us to despair, or stepping stones, leading us on to better things and a better relationship with Jesus.
Oh, lovely blog by the way, I love the way you've designed it, it looks so professional! I use mustard seeds incidentally when I cook curries; I'm all the way down in lil ol' England! If you have the time or inclination, come take a look at my blog.
Great post - very thought provoking!ReplyDelete
Good post! It's encouraging to know that big things can happen with small beginnings!ReplyDelete
Hi honey. It's been a long time, hasn't it? Way too long. So much has changed though and guess I kind of lost track of everybody. I love this post because reading about the mustard seed in the Scriptures helps me remember how small my great faith once was. Hope things are good with you. love you and think of you often. I invite you to visit my spiritual journal "FROM BARB'S SPIRITUAL JOURNALS" I will email you the link.ReplyDelete
Hi Barbara,ReplyDelete
It's been a while since I have hoped over for a visit. I loved the mustard seed Allegories. They tied in so well together. It also made me smile.
When our daughter was around 6 yrs old her church pastor sent her class home with one mustard seed. He told them to plant it and watch it grow. Brittany watched it every day. Then it started growing. She was so excited. But something wonderful started happening. That one mustard seed kept growing and growing! This one seed not only grew in the pot-it grew into Brittany's heart. She saw the words of Jesus come alive. Since then Brittany has had one of the strongest faiths I have seen. And she is a beautiful and wonderful prayer warrior! How thankful I am that she was able to experience something that wonderful. And thankful to Pastor Chris-who shared the word of God in a very tangible way to six year old's.
I look forward to your next posting.
Your friend~Donna

How I Did SXSW 2011
Filed Under Douchebag, Events, SXSW | 2011-03-21, 00:09
This was my third year at SXSW and I feel like I've really gotten the hang of it. Here are my notes from this year accompanied by some photos and videos. (All of my photos and videos are over on Flickr)
Running a Panel: Last year I led the Core Conversation "How To Not Be A Douchebag at SXSW" with Violet Blue and John Adams. This year I resubmitted the idea and SXSW decided it should be a panel. So along with John Adams, Scott Beale of Laughing Squid, and Amber Osborne (aka Miss Destructo) we taught a packed room of mostly first-timers how they can avoid being a douchebag at SXSW. Overall it received a very positive reception, and I didn't see too many people sneaking out of the "at capacity" room.
If you missed the panel, SXSW was nice enough to record it. You can listen to it on the SXSW site, download it here, or listen below.
The Austin Chronicle has a summary with some quotes. Methodshop, KMP Blog, and Curiosity have write-ups as well.
Attending Panels: Once again I didn't make it to too many panels this year. I'll be honest, part of the reason was the late nights out with old and new friends. Getting up and out of the hotel before noon was a bit difficult most days. The time zone change and the Daylight Saving change didn't help. As such I missed quite a few early morning panels that I really wish I could have made it too. One other hurdle for making it to panels was that they were so spread out. I didn't attend any panels that weren't in the Convention Center or the Hilton. I understand the want to have more panels available to the steadily growing SXSW Interactive crowd, but I was sad to miss a number of friends' panels just because they were scattered or double-booked. I quickly stopped even bothering to look at venues other than ACC/Hilton when I wanted to go to one. I don't have a solution, this is just my experience and the similar sentiments I heard from others.
Hotel: My first time at SXSW I stayed at La Quinta Inn Oltorf because I decided to go at the last minute and all the other hotels were booked. That was terrible, don't do that. Last year and this year I split a room with friends (@violetblue, @dotben and @ekai) at the Hilton, which was awesome. Splitting the room four ways (two beds and a roll away bed) made the room more affordable as well as more fun. This Hilton is also right next to the Convention Center and also has panels in its own building. Definitely the most convenient place to stay in my opinion and I've never had any problems with service or accommodations there.
Badge: I got a Gold badge again this year because I was a panelist. Last year's Gold badge came in handy because I got a chance to attend the screening of Objectified. This year however I didn't make it to any films. With so much to do and so many people to spend time with I didn't want to wait in line for a movie that may or may not be enjoyable. I wish it was easier/more convenient to see films. If I had to buy a badge, I'd go with an Interactive only badge in the future. We also had several people in our group that didn't even have a badge and most times that wasn't a problem except for a couple of SXSW-only parties.
Parties: We went to quite a few parties this year as well as created our own. At the SapientNitro party (at Venue 222) DJ Spider was awesome and we played the Primal Scream Game (get people to give their best primal scream). The ACLU/Google party at Maggie Mae's was a fun 80's themed party where Amy was given the challenge of collecting 13 silly straws (she completed it). Five or six of us won free Timbuk2 bags from the WatchDotTV people at the Mashable party at Buffalo Billards and then we caught Eclectic Method. And then there was the Twitter party at Icenhauer's, which was one of the few parties I actually waited in line for since it was packed and I wanted to see friends inside. It was worth the wait. The gdgt party at Purevolume was kind of a joke, as it was "RSVP only" and after cashing in my +5 RSVP we found out it was basically a trade show. A couple free beers and a free iPhone case and we bailed, but not after taking over a table and attempting to find investors for Spacerack (more on that later). Sadly, I missed out on all the parties at the Seaholm Power Plant which I thought would be a cool venue; next year perhaps.
Shenanigans: Saturday night was Brides of March so I donned my wedding dress and we went pub crawling with a dozen or so beautiful brides. We started at Casino El Camino and hit Beauty Bar, Trophy Room for some bull riding, classed up the Driskill, danced at Oil Can Harry's, pondered a ride on the RVIP Lounge (it was too crowded for all of us), and finished off at Fado's with the last few remaining brides. (Afterward we ditched the dresses and headed to Elysium, Austin's goth club.)
Monday night was the 2nd Annual Revolving Door Party in the Hilton's revolving door. Matt scored some great party supplies (hats, noisemakers, glowsticks, and even stamps for the door). It was much shorter than last year's party but was very crowded. While we partied the annual foursquare Hilton lobby backstroke competition went off.
Throughout the week I tried to pitch as many people on my latest startup: Spacerack. Everyone is starting to store their data in the clouds these days, but Spacerack wants to take this one step further. We go above the cloud. That's right, satellite based storage technology. You can safely store your sensitive data outside any terrestrial jurisdiction. Additionally you can increase the distance between your sensitive data and the magnetic field of the earth, which scientists have discovered is the number one cause for bit rot. We currently have funding from ScoNelz which helped us launch our first two satellites. We're looking for additional funding to get 5 more satellites up next quarter, and are aiming for a moon base to help with redundancy by Q4 2013. Don't tell anyone, but our exit strategy is to get acquired by Rackspace. Rackspace Spacerack == $$$$
People: I met so many new people and got to spend time with a lot of old friends over the course of SXSW. Now would be the time to list of all of them, but I don't know where to start and where to end. To all the people that I met and spent time with at SXSW whether it was at a panel, hitting some tech party, bouncing around to random bars, having lunch/dinner together, running around in a wedding dress, late night food adventures, or at a BBQ, thank you for making SXSW an awesome event and one I look forward to returning to next year. In the end it's all about the people.
Oh hell, here we go: @violetblue, @dotben, @scottbeale, @missdestructo, @netik, @evacide, @nelz9999, @efng, @scottyiseri, @redshoes, @jonathanstray, @compressorfilms, @heathervescent, @ahnie, @jess_stang, @spitfiregrrrl (thx for the book!), @wombatina, @amywhiggins, @danger_ranger, @willpants, @mariangoodell, @netdiva, @calliloopy, @kittenhotep, and more
I Can Haz Douchebag Move?
Filed Under Douchebag | 2010-03-30, 20:30
So I run Geeky Tattoos. It's mostly a labor of love for body modification and geek culture. Awhile back I started watermarking images as I noticed that photos get posted and reposted around the internet and sooner or later attribution just stops. I watermark images so people know at least one place they can go back to in order to track down the original owners of the tattoo. I do my best to find the tattoo owner, the artist, and if there's a different photographer and include it in every post. If someone wants to find the original owner/photographer for say an article or to reuse the photo, it's possible.
The Cheezburger network, a group of sites that makes a large sum of money off of tacking text onto images and reposting them, has a site called Ugliest Tattoos. Arguably some of the stuff I post on Geeky Tattoos could also pop up on Ugliest Tattoos depending on your opinions on geeky ink. That's cool, everyone's entitled to an opinion. What's not cool is this post on Ugliest Tattoos. It's using an image that I originally posted back in June 2009. What's wrong with it you ask?
1. They've cropped the watermark out of the photo. This image is available elsewhere without a watermark, but they've obviously used the one posted on Geeky Tattoos. If they'd used the original image, I'd have no qualms, but "erasing" my mark to replace with theirs? Douchebag move.
2. They've added their own watermark to the image. I wonder how they feel if someone takes that image, removes their mark, and reposts?
3. They've lied and said that I submitted the image. I alone run Geeky Tattoos, there isn't anyone else that has permission to represent GeekyTattoos, and I never submitted this image.
4. Their "attribution" is simply mentioning "GeekyTattoos.com" without any sort of linkage. This is just poor manners in the web world. When you find something cool, you give a nod to wherever you found it.
In this case, I sadly don't know the original owner of the tattoo or the photographer. The closest info I've gotten is the tattoo artist. But like with many of the "unknowns" I post, the hope is that some day I'll find the owner and be able to update the post with that info. The watermark helps in that info collection and removal of it prevents that from happening. In addition to that, there's also the impolite failure to attribute properly. The Cheezburger Network gets a lot of traffic, and to use content from sources without at least a small favor of link love shows a lack of care for the online community. It's like removing links from a article or erasing all but a book title from the references section of a paper. In today's Internet of sites like FFFFOUND! and Tumblr, proper attribution seems to be disappearing.
UPDATE: I contacted Cheezburger and they got back to me. They've updated the post to link directly to my site, but not the original post. They've also left the cropped image up on the site and did not comment on that aspect of things.

Behold! Just what Brussels needed. More Mella.
I moved in with the boyfriend this weekend. Technically I'd been staying here for the better part of the year already, but I still had my own place in Antwerp. Now, everything I need is here and the rest is in storage until we figure out what to keep and what to sell.
I probably sprained a muscle in my leg, and I didn't even do anything, really: by best friend K and three professional movers made sure everything got to its destination perfectly.
Did I mention I hate moving? I got a semi heartattack when the storage space I rented turned out to be about half the size of what I needed, and I had to switch twice before we found one that could house it all – and thus twice the price. Movers cost 600€ for 4 hours. I'm so broke right now 😉
Anyway – now the unpacking starts, and also the packing actually, as we leave for France next week with the five of us. Two weeks in the Provence, with no wifi. Peace and quiet – although with 3 kids, that might be the understatement of the year.

I have read thousands of books in my lifetime and I have to say my very favorite are the seven books of the Harry Potter series. So in honor of International Literacy Day I am going to discuss my favorite!
There is a reason this series is so popular, why they make non-readers spend hours with their noses in the books! There is no other literary world that has drawn me in quite like the world that J.K. Rowling has created. I have read the books multiple times. I will never tire of reading them.
Last year I read the series from start to finish to my three children. What a wonderful bonding experience it was for us. I can't describe how magical it was to reveal this world to my children. It is by far one of my most treasured experiences with my kids. Of course they fell in love with Harry's world as much as I did. We got so into it we planned an impromptu trip to Universal Studios last January just to see the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. It lived up to the hype. It was such a fantastical trip, literally walking into the books. The attention to detail was phenomenal!
This July I was finally able to go to the midnight opening of a Harry Potter movie. In the past I have always gone alone on opening day but felt it would be odd to go alone to the opening midnight show. This year my two oldest kids, Joey and Ally, were old enough to join me! We headed to the theater, the kids armed with the wands they purchased in Florida! It was so much fun to sit amongst all the die hard Harry Potter fans in the theater and see the book come to life on film. I have to admit I was pretty choked up at the end, not because the story was too sad, but because it was the end! For 12 years I have anticipated the book and movie releases and now we had reached the end. No other book has touched me in quite this way.
Fall in love with Harry Potter all over again by reading the series to your students and children. Check out my novel units that accompany each book. The first unit for Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone is newly updated with new activities added and now aligned to the Common Core Standards for Grades 5-8!
Find it at:
Also in honor of International Literacy Day I am offering my Frindle Unit for 15% off at my Teachers Pay Teachers store from now through 9/14! Check it out! Check out some other great sellers that are offering great deals on their items as well: Teacher 2 Teacher Blog

to Springfield, where he entered the Academy of Wittenberg College. After his graduation in 1884 he became a student
at Wittenberg College, from which he received the degree of Bachelor of Arts in 1888. He continued his studies
at Wittenberg Theological Seminary, now the Hamma Divinity School, from which he was graduated in 1891. Reverend
Smith came to Ashland during that year as pastor of Trinity Lutheran Church and has continued in that charge to
the present time with the exception of four years, 1904-08, when he was located in Springfield as pastor of the
Fourth Lutheran Church. He is a member of the Lutheran Synod of Ohio, which is a constituent synod of the United
Lutheran Church in America. He has also been president of the East Ohio Synod, and for seven years was a member
of the executive board of the United Lutheran Church in America. Doctor Smith is a member of the board of directors
of Wittenberg College. He was assistant editor of the Lutheran World from 1904 until 1908, and for several years
was an editorial writer on the Lutheran Church Work and Observer. In 1924 he was the author of a history of the
East Ohio Synod and the following year published "Preachers and Preaching." He is also the author of
"The Lutheran Church and Child Nurture." During 1926 he traveled extensively in the Holy Land and in
1929 traveled throughout Europe.
In 1892 Doctor Smith was united in marriage with Miss Abby U. Billow, of Springfield, the daughter of George W.
and Sarah J. (Tressler) Billow. The former died in 1924 and is buried in Springfield. His widow, who was born in
Perry County, Pa., is now 92 years of age and lives in Ashland with her daughter, Mrs. Smith. To Doctor and Mrs.
Smith were born two daughters: Dorothy, a graduate of Wittenberg College, died in 1923, was the wife of Charles
Means; and Sarah B., born May 2, 1902, a graduate of Wittenberg College, now a teacher of Latin in Ashland High
In 1909 Doctor Smith was given the degree of Doctor of Divinity by Wittenberg College. He is a Republican.

ok lets say jedi get married. This is why they should not.
Anger, fear, agression.
the anger over your loved one showing another more attention than you. That would lead to anger and jealousy.
fear that your loved one may be injured or killed or not faithful.
agression, getting mad because one or the other dies or divorces the other for another love.
there goes the new jedi order. How creative.
I'm sure Yoda and Ben must haven given luke just a little bit on how the jedi order worked before the empire and how it is suppost to work, but all of the eu fans out there will never grasp this consept, after all the jedi are not gods they have needs just like everyone else and getting married would give into sins of the flesh and the dark side.
