Tony Whitmore: An Adventure in Doctor Who
November is really going to be Doctor Who month for me. It's been Doctor Who year really, but things really ratchet up a notch this month, as I am off to lots of events to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the show.
Last week I headed to the BFI for the preview screening on "An Adventure in Space and Time", by Mark Gatiss. It tells the story of how a small team of inexperienced people made magic, despite the hindrance of the old guard in the BBC. As bizarre as it might sound to say about a drama set so long ago, I won't spoil it for you. I will say that it was a magical way to spend an evening, ninety minutes of joy watching the excellent cast wearing familiar costumes in loving recreations of vintage sets.
The engagement from the audience was intense, and there were lots of sniffles and tears throughout the drama. The standing ovation was well deserved. It's on BBC Two at 9pm on Thursday, and you should watch it!
Yesterday saw stand-up comedian, presenter and fan Toby Hadoke perform a double-bill of his two Doctor Who-related comedy shows "Moths Ate My Doctor Who Scarf" and "My Stepson Stole My Sonic Screwdriver" at the Garrick Theatre. Although they are ostensibly about Doctor Who, and there are more than enough jokes to keep fans happy, both shows tell a much more human and personal story. It was clear that both stories were affecting and again there were a few tears amongst the audience. It was nice to see a fair few Doctor Who alumni in the audience, including Katy Manning, Nicola Bryant and Dan Starkey, and a pleasure to join what has become a little family of Doctor Who podcasters at yet another event this year.
It's hard to imagine after this week, but the best this month is yet to come!
Pin ItBenjamin Kerensa: Linux Mint: Stay Calm And Make Free Software
This morning like Oliver Grawert I learned a variety of Linux related news sites had decided to cover a discussion from a few weeks ago on the Ubuntu Devel mailing list surrounding the possibility of a Ubuntu MATE Remix.
The coverage in the media has been pretty mixed, but I was disappointed to see some sites trying to put a spin on things and suggesting that this was Canonical being critical of Linux Mint which is not the case. In fact for the most part Clement Lefebvre has clarified that what Oli and I said was accurate that being that certain updates in Linux Mint are not enabled by default and that Firefox on LMDE (Debian Edition of Linux Mint) was not always updated as much as it probably should have been but now is updated automatically.
I wanted to post briefly and just say that my personal opinion is that Kernel and Xorg updates are important for users to have, and Ubuntu Developers are diligent in testing updates to packages and addressing regressions.
I do not think stability and performance are as big of an issue as Clem alludes them to be, and I think it is important for users to have security updates for all packages automatically without having to do anything extra to get them.
Anyways this post is not to try to convince anyone of my opinion nor was the original discussion on the mailing list.
Lets get back to making awesome free software for our users! FOSS Yeaaaah!
Oliver Grawert: … lots of Canonical in my mouth …
Getting online this morning was in interesting experience, seemingly some news sites picked up a two week old post to a mailing list thread from me to turn it into something that generates revenue for them …
… intrestingly even though the original post was linked in all of these articles, people seem to be more intrested in the interpretation of the reporters of the sites than to read the actual thread, putting potential words from Canonical into my mouth that i didn't ever say.
I must say I find that pretty offending to me as an individual … yes, I do work for Canonical (still happily since nearly 9 years now and I love what I do and plan to go on to do so …) but please allow me to have my own mind and opinions, not everything an Ubuntu developer says is coordinated by Canonical, even if this statement might trash you conspiracy theories … (oh, and not every Ubuntu developer works for Canonical … unlike some people might want you to think, the Ubuntu dev community is healthy and happily chuggin along, with the new Ubuntu Touch community vibrantly growing)
What I wrote was my own personal opinion (that was actually the reason to use the word "personally" in my sentece about home banking, but I am not a native english speaker, so I might have misunderstood its meaning for all these years)
What I also did was to point to code evidence that shows that Linux Mint supresses security updates for certain software in its default setup … while it might be true that it is configurable and that it is only disabled for certain packages out of the box, this is still an evident fact and can be seen in the code, there is nothing to argue or discuss about (and as I learned now it seems to be part of the Mint philosophy since security updates seem to have caused them instabilities in the past)
Indeed I couldn't keep my feet still and made the mistake to actually read comments on the different articles …
"He fears losing his job and needs to stir up stuff" … dude … after such a long time in an opensource company and getting headhunter offers regulary, you dont have to worry for your job … what I'm actually worried about is the undeserved badmouthing of Ubuntu based on FUD. Ubuntu is more than Canonical or its decisions, please don't discredit the work of many many contributors out there … if you want to attack Canonical, do it, but pretty please take into account that Ubuntu is more than Canonical … Oh, and the stirring up part … I can tell you it isn't any pleasure to be in focus like that for a side statement you made weeks ago …
"He wants to badmouth Linux Mint because they steal users from Ubuntu" … I seriously don't care if users use Ubuntu, Xubuntu, Mint or elementaryOS, in fact it makes me proud to know they base on work I participated in (note that I maintained one for the first derivative distros of Ubuntu (edubuntu) for about two years nearly on my own) derivatives (and the work they feed back into the Ubuntu archive) are a big part of the Ubuntu ecosystem, why would any sane developer badmouth them ?
A big thanks to OMGUbuntu for fixing their headline … which initially suggested that I "advised" users to not use Mint because it is vulnerable, I never did, I just stated that I personally would not use it for online banking since I know they dont install all available security updates by default …
Seriously, I HATE raisins, I would never eat a cheesecake that contains raisins … did I ask anyone to not eat raisins or did I propose to stop producing them in the former sentence ? no, obviously I didnt … and I dont want the raisin farmers go jobless just because I dont like their product … why people did read something like this into my words in the mail that was quoted is really beyond me …
So lets see if we can get something constructive out of all this, obviously would I be a debian developer that had posted to some debian ML nobody would have picked it up … but since this trivial statement has drawn so much attention we can probably both benefit from it…
To me PERSONALLY suppressing any available security updates is a no-go and while Clem points out that it is configurable in Mint, I don't belive my Mom or my sister would get along with that, they would just use the default. Which would leave them obviously vulnerable with some packages (wether the vulnerabilities are exploited or not, there are open security holes in your system after all) … obviously the practice to suppress these updates stems from bad experience with using Ubuntu provided security updates …
Hey Clem ! … so how about we take a look at this and improve that situation for you, obviously something in Ubuntu doesn't work like you need it, Canonical puts a lot of time and money into improving the QA since about two years. I think it would be really helpful to sit down and look if we can improve it well enough for both of us to benefit (Ubuntu from your feedback and you from improvements we can do to the package quality) … wether you still want to suppress updating any packages or not even after we fixed the issue for you, is indeed your choice, but please dear press allow me to also still not use Mint for online banking then
Quotes from the comments section in the above page:
… "Maybe it is time to re-evaluate whether security updates should be held back by default. Ubuntu have made steps to avoid regressions such as Phased Updates." …
Clem: … "I'd be happy to have that discussion and look at the pros and cons post Mint16 release. It's not a reaction to a particular incident though, it's a difference in policy. We actually built the tools that would allow us not to make it trivial for people to apply changes blindly. There's pros and cons to it, and that's why it's configurable." …
So hey, as much out of bounds these press posts were for such a non-issue, it apparently caused some discussions and will possibly improve the situation for all of us in the end …
Oh, and btw … many people missed the actually interesting part in the mail thread … having Mate in debian and Ubuntu will definitely reduce the maintenance work for Mint since they can just pull it in from the respective archives (and it might bring Ubuntu another new derivative distro)
Matthew Helmke: Survive! Inside the Human Body
This is a special review. This time around, I am including three books in a new educational manga series. I originally intended to produce three individual reviews, but I'm pretty excited about these books and don't want to make you wait. The series was just published, so if it isn't on your local bookstore shelves now, it will be soon.
Survive: Inside the Human Body, Volume 1: The Digestive System, Volume 2: The Circulatory System, and Volume 3: The Nervous System are being published by No Starch Press, the same people who brought us the Manga Guide to series, several books from which I have reviewed here in the past. Like that series, this set of books was originally published in another country (Korea, this time) and licensed by No Starch and translated into English. During this process, the information in these books was reviewed by medical doctors for accuracy. The story line was also updated in a few places to adjust the fun to an English-speaking audience.
There is much to love in this series. The information is useful and detailed. I'll tell you more about that in a paragraph dedicated to each volume. In all the volumes, the illustrations are beautifully done, colorful (not black and white!), and genuinely add to the experience without distracting from the information or the story line. There are lovely samples to view on the No Starch site at the links above.
The three volumes have one story line that arcs across the set. It is a cute story that is pretty typical in its use of standard manga motifs like overstated graphic representations of emotions. In all three volumes, at the end of each chapter, there are a couple of pages that step out of the arcing story line that give more academic details with just enough detail to tie up any loose ends that the reader may have without crossing the line into overwhelming the reader.
The first volume covers the digestive system. It covers everything from the mouth to the anus and everything in between. Beautiful illustrations show useful details and help the reader understand what the action describes. We learn about how food is processed, how nutrients are absorbed, how beneficial gut flora are vital to the process, and how waste is eliminated.
The second volume covers the circulatory system. Here we learn about blood and its components, the liver and filtration, the heart, the lungs and oxygenation, the bones and blood creation, blood types, and we even get a few bonuses with side tracks into skin, the nose, and the ears.
The third volume centers on the nervous system. Topics covered include the brain, different kinds of cells in the nervous system, and the diagnostic tests that can be used by doctors to investigate when problems occur.
Disclosure: I was given my copy of this book by the publisher as a review copy. See also: Are All Book Reviews Positive?
Jorge Castro: discourse.ubuntu.com is here, dive in!
After about ~7 months of prototyping our watercooler is here.
Introducing discourse.ubuntu.com:
Our new discussion site built on the modern 100% Free Software Discourse platform. Log in with your Ubuntu SSO and start the party!
Over the next week or so I'll be detailing instructions for community members to integrate their blog comments with the platform, and we have a bunch of integration ideas between Discourse and summit.ubuntu.com , as well as other integration points with mailing lists and social networks.
We also have an entire section dedicated to Local Team categories, so if you're looking to jump in with your local team, let me know.
Daniel Holbach: Another UDS, a new world to discover
As part of the Ubuntu community, I've been part of many UDSes and a growing number of vUDSes and while it'd be easy to say "Another UDS, more new work items." and be done with it, I'm very excited about this UDS.
In the last years I've mostly been involved with the Ubuntu Developer community, so the people who build Ubuntu itself, which is what other people install, deploy and build on. Last cycle I helped with managing the software store project, which got me involved in many discussions about apps on Ubuntu. This cycle I'm diving much deeper into the waters of Ubuntu App development and I'm looking forward to it.
My major task will be to improve the materials we have for app development and generally raise awareness of Ubuntu as a great app platform. For this I will obviously have to learn a bit more about app development, so expect me to ask lots of questions in the next weeks.
If this sounds like something you're interested in or would like to help out with, here's what I have noted down on my schedule for UDS, which starts tomorrow, 19th Nov 2013 and goes until 21st Nov 2013:
- 15:05 UTC: Build materials for the App Dev Schools initiative
- 16:05 UTC: Campaign to grow the number of tutorials videos
- 18:05 UTC: Understand what practical desktop usability issues exist with the current SDK
- 19:05 UTC: Click software store status and future development
- 14:00 UTC: Materials for porting apps
- 18:05 UTC: Loco community involvement in App Development
- 14:00 UTC: Make click apps runnable from the Unity7 dash
- 15:05 UTC: Supporting touch apps on Ubuntu desktop
There will be a number of sessions, like the Community Council meeting, I'm going to attend as well, as I'll be track lead for Community together with Jono.
Sign up for UDS, check out the complete schedule and find out how to participate.
Looking forward to seeing you there!
The Fridge: Empowering LoCo teams at UDS
With Ubuntu now running across all form factors and devices and entering the mobile space, a new era begins. While our values remain the same, we've now faced with a unique opportunity to drive adoption of our favourite Free Software OS to a user base that could potentially be one or two orders of magnitude bigger.
We've layed out the foundations of an innovative and scalable platform that provides a stunning experience for regular and power users, and that is a delight for developers to use. Years of experience, user testing and design on the desktop, pioneering work on the cloud and the app development story for the phone are some of the key aspects that have made it possible.
In this new era our community is more important than ever, with LoCo teams and the LoCo Council at the forefront. Ubuntu contributors, enthusiasts, evangelists, advocates… with your events, initiatives across the globe you are all making it happen.
With virtual UDS happening this week, we'd like to kick off a series of discussions to come up with a solid plan on how to re-energize and empower LoCo teams to scale up to these new challenges, and to involve them in the technologies and projects that are driving this new chapter in Ubuntu. The contribution of leaders in our LoCo community and the LoCo Council will be key to our success here.
The sessionsFrom the 19th to 21th of November, both the Community and the App Development tracks at UDS will be full with LoCo team sessions, and we'd like all advocates and everyone involved in Ubuntu local community teams to participate and contribute to our LoCo plans this cycle. Here are the sessions this week:
LoCo projectsAn initiative to work with LoCos to provide projects and outcomes for those teams and individuals looking for ways of contributing to Ubuntu. We'd like to create "LoCo projects", a pool of projects LoCo teams can participate in as a team.
Join this session >
The LoCo Portal is the window to the vibrant activity of our Ubuntu teams, and we want to come up with a plan to promote it and use it to highlight the awesome work that's going on in the LoCo world.
LoCo Leadership growthNew challenges require leadership, and we'd like to work with the LoCo Council to grow a team of leaders to drive the global LoCo community.
LoCo community involvement in App DevelopmentApp development is an exciting new area that is becoming key to the success of Ubuntu among mobile users. We're at a point where the platform and infrastructure is ripe for LoCo teams to get involved and start spreading the word and running Ubuntu app development events.
Build materials for the App Dev Schools initiativeGrowing the number of learning materials to write apps for Ubuntu will be a key focus for next cycle, and it offers a great opportunity to share knowledge and help others getting started creating content for the platform. Join us to discuss the plan to create a set of materials and presentations for the App Dev Schools.
Campaign to grow the number of tutorials videosAs an extension to the App Dev Schools initiative, we'd like to come up with a plan to publish a series of short, topic-based app development tutorial videos.
Looking forward to seeing you all at UDS this week!

Dustin Kirkland: Is privacy really yours?
I'm trying desperately to hold private my opinions about the latest revelations on the ways and means of modern espionage, its targets, and rationalizations.
But I find this logic, from Congressman Mike Rogers, Chairman of the House Intelligence committee, offensive...
He says, and I quote:
"You can't have your privacy violated if you don't know your privacy is violated".While the United States laws on privacy are complicated, I feel that this is so awfully wrong :-(
Criminal voyeurism is illegal. Date rape is illegal. This is not a thought experiment. If a tree falls in the forest, there is a tree on the ground irrespective of its audiology.
Comprehend Congressman Rogers' same logic applied to Rohypnol. Or a video camera hidden in a dressing room. These are blatant crimes, whether or not the victims are aware of the violations of their privacy.
This recent TED talk, by Mikko Hypponen, is incredibly thought provoking. Chillingly, he quips, "Orwell was an optimist". Yikes. On a happier note, I'm almost positive his slides in this talk use the Ubuntu font. Presumably he delivered this presentation in Brussells from an Ubuntu PC?
Canonical Design Team: The new Ubuntu Resources
Today we've launched the alpha version of our latest project: the Ubuntu Resources website.
This is our first responsive project that follows the mobile-first methodology and we're very excited to share this with everyone!
As you'll be able to see, we're not quite done with it yet, but we wanted to share what we've created so far, so we can get feedback and keep improving the design and expanding the features.
The new Ubuntu Resources on an Ubuntu-powered phone
A little bit of backgroundThis project grew from the need to separate content like case studies, news, press releases and events, from the core of the Canonical and Ubuntu sites — and it will eventually replace much of what currently is at insights.ubuntu.com. As the site is designed for reading and engaging with longer pieces of content, we thought it would be the ideal place to explore mobile-first and responsive approaches. And we plan to use what we''ve learned from it to make www.ubuntu.com and our Web Style Guide responsive.
Scaling things downWe started the research phase taking a holistic view of the project, trying to understand what types of content and users we wanted to target. We realised that with limited time and resources we would have to divide the project into different releases, so that we could make sure each aspect of the site was given the attention it deserved.
The first and current release of the site — alpha — focuses solely on small screens. The main goal is that all the content is accessible and the visual style and features will be progressing and being added as we go.
Initial wireframes across a variety of screen sizes
Reusing existing stylesOne of the challenges in this project was deciding how we were going to integrate the existing Web Style Guide, which we've been using internally for a while now and will be made public on design.ubuntu.com soon.
Sneak peek of our Web Style Guide
We decided to use a minimal version of the style guide that kept the Ubuntu Resources' style coherent with www.ubuntu.com and that we could improve on.
You'll also notice small details that align with our phone design, like the grid, navigation selection and icons, and we'll be adding even more in the upcoming releases.
What's comingApart from working on the larger screen versions of the site, some of the things we will be looking into for the next iterations are:
- the ability to subscribe to different types of content
- more curated topic landing pages
- content filtering and sorting
- cleaner URLs
- the way we handle PDFs and other file formats
- more content like a press section
Go and have a look at the site and let us know your thoughts. We want to know what you like and what you think can be improved, or any other comments you might have — we've included a handy link to the feedback form at the bottom of every page. Enjoy!
Riccardo Padovani: Why you should contribute to Ubuntu Touch
I'm going to talk about Ubuntu Touch because is the biggest open-source project in which I'm involved, but the following post is applicable to any open-source project.
If someone asks me which is the better part of been involved in an open-source project, like Ubuntu Touch, I answer: "The fun!". Seriously.
First things first: I did my first commit to Ubuntu Touch on March 15, 2013, but it's only since the beginning of July that I began to collaborate on an ongoing basis. In these four months, I have achieved many goals: I have become a developer of ubuntu-touch-calculator and of ubuntu-touch-clock, I fixed more than 60 bugs and implemented a lof of functionality and, last but not least, I took Ubuntu Membership. So, my experience is very positive and I want to continue to collaborate to Ubuntu and Ubuntu Touch in the future. And I believe that many people could collaborate with a open-source project, so let's move to the reasons why you should try to collaborate for yourself;
FriendsWe're all working together; that's the secret!
Since I started I met a lot of awesome people, with whom I became friends, rather than colleague. This is one of great thing of the community: I can often have a chat just to know each other better.
The first day I joined on IRC I met nik90 (Nekhelesh Ramananthan) and dpm (David Planella): Nik is a community contributor who develops the Clock App: he helped me to fix some bugs and introduced me to fantastic world of developement, showing me the tools and explaining the basic mechanisms of contributing. David is Ubuntu App Development Liaison for Canonical, and he is for me a very important person: always available and always with a word of support or a compliment. He helped me to acclimate and get to know other members of the team.
After I have joined the calc team I met also mihir_ (Mihir Soni) and boiko (Gustavo Boiko): Mihir is another community contributor and we worked together to create the final version of the calculator which is the default in Ubuntu Touch, a very cool app! Boiko is an awesome guy who agreed to be my mentor: thanks to him I learned a lot of thing about software developement, group work and much much more. Thanks boiko!
I have encountered many other people who have given me so much like popey, mhall119, jono, oSoMoN, randomcpp, balloons, mefrio, mzanetti, me4oslav, PaoloRotolo, Letozaf_ and many many more!
It's nice to be part of such a great family that works for a common goal: the user's freedom.
KnowledgeKnowledge makes people special. Knowledge enriches life itself.
Collaborate with an open-source project gives you much more than you gives: contribute wrtiting code gives you knowledge. When I started with Ubuntu Touch I didn't know anything of QML. Now I think to be proficient in QML, and I have improved also other skills, like group work, use bazaar, code in Javascript, "think like a programmer".
So, if you decide to collaborate to a open-source project, you'll learn many things that will enrich your cultural background and, maybe, one day will come in handy. Not only code, but also mentality, visions of the world: meet new people is always constructive.
FunFind a job you love and you'll never work a day in your life.
To contribute on an ongoing basis to a project has to be fun for you: if you do it grudgingly, or under duress, you will not like and this affected both the quality of your work that your relationship with others.
I find in Ubuntu Touch (and Ubuntu Italian LoCo team) a project where I can have fun: it's a pleasure, for me, to return to home after a day at the university and have the possibility to write code, fix bugs and so on. The ambience is nice: sure, there are deadlines and things less fun (like autopilot test, I hate to write autopilot test :-P) but the result gives a lot of satisfaction.
A common goalArise! Awake! And stop not until the goal is reached.
Another awesome thing of the project is the spirit that moves people: you can see that is not only a work, but it's a hope to do something good for the world. Yes, a software is not the most important thing in the world, but the idea of freedom is. So, in a market where the only company which works for "open-source" is Google, the hope to do the difference is very strength. And this is reflected in the quality of relationships: everyone is always available to help you, even outside working hours, and there is a lot of enthusiasm
I talked about Ubuntu Touch because I'm involved, but I think the situation is similar in all open-source project.
Some suggestion to start to contribute to a project:
- Know the people, make some friends, work together
- Find a project you like, there are infinity open-source project
- Search a field for contribute where you are good and you can be useful
Congrats, you are now a part of a big family, and you do something to make the world better ;)
Meanwhile, on my italian blog I wrote about privacy: Perché la privacy è importante.
Other interesting things to read this week: Mark Shuttleworth apoligizes for errors by Canonical and himself, kudos Mark! TED posted a talk by Mikko Hypponen "How the NSA betrayed the world's trust — time to act". Ubuntu community is bigger, welcome Ubuntu Brasil, Ubuntu Morocco and Ubuntu Portugal!
My english is bad, so if you find a mistake, please report it!

Re: Deep Space Nine thoughts & questions
Why did I hate the show when it aired? Because it contradicted Roddenberrian wisdom, of course. Humans didn't progress over time. Take away their creature comforts and they're a bunch of savage beasts, even worse than the farengi. HERESY, teenager me said! I think it's the opposite, people wanted to love the show. The highest rated Star Trek episode in history? The Emissary. But the fact is the number of people who want dark serial shows is far smaller than the number of people who want optimistic light heartedness. DS9 is what we want, but it's not what most of the Neilsen audience wants, unfortunately. |

Re: Deep Space Nine thoughts & questions
When I got over that, and gave the show a chance, I found that it was pretty good. Towards the end of the first season it got very good, and then during the second season it got even better. By the end of year 2 I'd been completely won over. I stuck with Trek all the way through Voyager, through Nemesis, and through Enterprise, but for me, DS9 was really the last time that Trek was brilliant. It also helped when I stopped comparing the show with B5 in my head, and just accepted them both for what they were, great shows.

Re: Deep Space Nine thoughts & questions
I ended up giving it a second look and it's become my favorite incarnation of Trek. Unlike most other Trek shows I felt like DS9 was consistently good right from the get-go. And there was so much character development, I felt more attached to those characters more than others just because so much time was spent on character driven story arcs. And I'm saying this as a lover of all things Trek, but DS9 is just a stand out to me when it comes to story telling. |

Re: Deep Space Nine thoughts & questions
I know it sounds cliche', but I really think it was ahead of its time. If it had come in today's era of cable networks producing original programming focusing on heavily serialized stories it would rock. We're talking Breaking Bad/Walking Dead awesome. And I do believe someone posted here a long time ago some data that showed that DS9's ratings were better than VOY's despite all that.

Re: Deep Space Nine thoughts & questions
My story: I tried to watch DS9 when it began and again when Worf switched over. Just couldn't get into to it. Early on, there's was some pretty lame episodes. I liked Emissary but the ones after that were (then) boring. Space station=yawn No capt=WTF? Bajor/Bajorans=Yawn squared Then in fall of 1995 tried it again. Didn't know who the Jem Hadar was or the Shapeshifter/Changelings that was referred. Pretty good episode, but I was lost. Quit on it. Late one night, I got to watching Spike TV and Sacrfice of Angels was onl Holy Cow that was awesome, so I watched a couple of more and really liked it Then I was stuck for a week away from home and little to watch so I began to rewatch a week of it (S7) and thourghly loved it. Started DVRing it and have been hooked ever since. Again, what hurt: 1) Writing much like early TNG in S1-boring 2) Voyager coming on and stealing some thunder 3) Not having a ship until S3 |

Re: Deep Space Nine thoughts & questions
The ratings chart tells the story... You can see the ratings for DS9's launch episode being the highest among all the others. It had the benefit of airing when TNG was still at the height of it's popularity. People saw it, and weren't impressed with what they saw. A space station, religious mumbo jumbo, whiny alliens, no starships only shuttlecrafts. Yeah no wonder DS9 ratings took a dive after the pilot. Problem with DS9 I feel is the first 3 seasons were boring. TNG kept it light and adventure of the week. Tune in for a new adventure. Not your fancy try back next week. DS9 had a shaky start. The preachy, whiny, and unsympathetic Bajorans grated my nerves Dax was a know it all Spock type who borderlined Mary Sue with all her talents and knowledge Odo hadn't been developed yet The constant trolling by the Cardassians got annoying really fast. Not like they didn't have a government to run or anything. DS9 didn't feel like a space station. It felt like a space mall with Sisko as the GM. Season 4-7 we saw a change for the better for DS9. Unfortunately it came at the expense of ripping out things established by TOS and TNG. Breaking Kirk's greatest achievement the Khitomer Accords from Star Trek VI, and undoing TNG's Redemption storyline and by changing Gowron's character and making the Klingon Civil war a long forgotten footnote. The Dominion War was toyed and teased by the show runners for the better part of season 3, 4, 5, and finally jumped off in season 6. The first 6 episodes of season 6 to be exact. The the stories go back to episode of the week for specific characters with a mad dash to end the Dominion War in the last 9 episodes of season 7. |

Lesson 25: You've Always Had the Power
November 11, 2011
These workbook questions were curated by Martha Beck. The goal is to continue the conversation and go deeper into the lesson. Your answers are private, no one else can see them.
You have the power—and the responsibility—to make your life better. How will you own that power?
Who would you be, and what would you do, if you had no fearful beliefs?
Look at your life: This is a portrait of your beliefs. What is beautiful about it? What's troubling? What will you change—because you can?
How do you define "success"? What has truly made you happy in the past? Are you pursuing
version of success, or someone else's? Can you choose yours?
Describe your highest hopes. Now ask, "What would be better"? Keep asking this until you can't imagine anything better. That's your new dream.
How are you going to sustain your hope and faith when times get tough? Do you have a plan in place for nurturing yourself in the moments your faith wavers?
Do you still define success according to how much stuff you have, or how admired you are? Notice that this is the ego's definition. Gently put it aside, and notice what your spirit defines success.
What's one step you can take toward your vision of a fully realized life? Is there one small thing that's part of your ideal future that you can take today?
What's the most important thing you've learned over these 25 lessons?

AJ Styles
Real Name
Allen Jones
Date of Birth
June 2, 1977
Place of Birth
Sarita posted this interesting picture of herself on Instagram, where the former TNA Knockout is posing with a statue of a Transformers. She even revealed that she was a big fan of the cartoon and that Seaspray, a lesser known character from that toy universe, was her favorite robot.
February 9, 2014
A group of people in Pittsburgh have put together the time and effort required to erect a statue of wrestling legend Bruno Sammartino, but the owners of the land where the old Civic Arena stands are against the idea and have placed a stoppage on those particular plans.
January 18, 2014
While they have both been in the business for a very long time, AJ Styles and Joey Styles have never met before. Through Twitter, the former ECW commentator posted this picture of the two o them together at a convention in New York City this weekend. Joey also joked that AJ was his southern cousin.
March 9, 2014
While a lot of fans were hoping that he would sign with a promotion in the United States so that they can watch him on television again, it appears that AJ Styles will be signing overseas instead. Word has it that he is close to finalizing a contract with New Japan and should be heading to that country to work a few tours. He may be paired up with Karl Anderson, Luke Gallows and Prince Devitt.
March 6, 2014
A little bit of controversy erupted over the weekend, as AJ Styles injured Lionheart during a match in England. The British wrestler broke his neck in two separate places because of a botched Styles Clash. There was some heat on Styles for not checking on his opponent, but Kassius Ohno revealed that Styles had no idea that Lionheart was injured.
March 2, 2014
The feeling backstage is that Christopher Daniels will be leaving TNA once his deal expires this summer. He is one of the better paid performers on the roster, and management is still intent on cutting cost. There is a chance that he could take a pay cut, as he does like working for the company, but he could join AJ Styles as a free agent instead.
February 8, 2014
Seiya Sanada is being brought to the United States with the Great Muta to work TNA Lockdown 2014, but instead of returning to Japan with his mentor, it appears that he will be sticking around to work for Dixie Carter for a couple of months. For those that don't know, Sanada was the one that challenged AJ Styles for the TNA title a couple of months ago.
February 8, 2014
In a rather interesting move, AJ Styles has decided to emphasize a post from Twitter, where a fan criticized him for being too demanding during contract negotiations and walking out on TNA. The fan noted that Impact Wrestling drew in good crowds in Europe. He also went as far as to instruct Styles to keep working "shitty ROH shows".
February 7, 2014
To show off his playful side, Seiya Sanada, the Japanese star who recently challenged AJ Styles for the TNA world title, posted this picture of himself on Twitter, where he is playing a Hello Kitty guitar.
February 7, 2014
When he initially left the company, AJ Styles gave the impression that the doors were left open and a potential return to TNA might still take place if he and Dixie Carter could ever come to terms on a contract. However, Styles has changed his tone as of late, and it does not appear that he will be returning.
February 6, 2014
During a recent interview, AJ Styles was asked who his dream opponent in WWE would be, and the former TNA champion chose Rey Mysterio for that honor. Styles then made sure to tell the fans that he was not sure of that happening, as the company has expressed very little interest in giving him a contract.
February 6, 2014
While the possibility of a return is still there, there has been no negotiations between AJ Styles and Dixie Carter as of late, since the latter has been focused on the European tour and the signings of MVP, Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards over the last few weeks.

text: BY: Channel 9 Eyewitness email@example.com, Neb. (AP) A state lawmaker and Republican candidate for governor is pushing again to pass a voter identification law in Nebraska.Sen. Charlie Janssen of Fremont will present his proposal Thursday to the Legislature's Government, Military and Veterans Affairs Committee.His measure would require voters to show government-issued photo identifications before casting a ballot. The bill would require the Department of Motor Vehicles to issue identification cards to qualified voters who don't have a driver's license or other IDs.The measure wouldn't apply to early voters or mail-in ballots, unless a person hasn't voted before.Lawmakers killed a similar measure last year with a filibuster. The debate raged for hours, with one state senator referring to the legislation as ``Jim Crow Lite.''

I am truly glad to learn that your wound is doing so well and hope you may speedily recover from its effects � to do this however you must be very careful not to exercise too much for the more quiet you remain the more rapidly you will gain the full use of your leg � let me again beg you to be very prudent in the use of it as far as possible. You complain of receiving no letters from me, and express a great desire to have me write to you at this very particular juncture of time giving my approval and consent to a momentous subject. I say momentous because it is a lifetime affair and in it is involved much happiness or much misery and unhappiness. I am sorry that I am not better prepared to meet your request having no knowledge [margin] Give my very warmest love to your Aunt Magruder & family.

Emergency contraception is now being offered at most Indian Health Service clinics around the country but it's not certain the medication will be offered in the future.
On Tuesday President Obama reiterated that the U.S. has evidence chemical weapons have been used in Syria, and regular contributor and Syria expert Joshua Landis discusses "game changers" and crossing "red lines."
Universidad de Chile industrial engineering professor and Educación 2020 founder Mario Waissbluth joins the program for a conversation about socio-economic segregation in the South American country's schools.
U.S. and other diplomatic officials say discussions within the Obama administration in favor of providing arms to the Syrian rebels are gaining ground amid new indications that President Bashar Assad's regime may have launched additional chemical weapons attacks.
Joshua Landis, the Director of the Center for Middle East Studies at the University of Oklahoma, says eliminating Syria's air defenses would be the first step before inspectors could determine if the regime did indeed use chemical weapons.
"Once you've destroyed the Syrian military, you're in Iraq in a sense," Landis says. "We were criticized in Iraq because we only had 100,000 troops to protect an entire country."
Lawmakers have until the end of this month to complete their work, including the passing of a state budget. The adjournment date might come sooner with the announcement of an agreement on how to spend the state's money.
The budget to pay for Oklahoma's government will be $7.1 billion for the fiscal year beginning July 1, under an agreement between Gov. Mary Fallin and legislative leaders. For most state agencies the amount of money they'll receive in the new budget year is the same as last, but Fallin says the largest increase in the budget is for public schools in Oklahoma.
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - A government report says the rate of suicide among middle-aged Oklahomans rose 34.4 percent from 1999 to 2010.
The Centers for Disease Control reported Thursday that there were 231 suicides among the 35-64 age group in 1999 for a rate of 18.2 suicides per 100,000 population. The report says there were 345 suicides in that age group in 2010 for a rate of 24.4 per 100,000.
The CDC report is based on death certificates and says people ages 35 to 64 account for about 57 percent of suicides.
Students in Chile took to the streets of Santiago again last month protesting for reform of the country's education system.
The BBC reports the students started a second wave of protests this decade in 2011, but the April demonstration was the first of 2013.
Mario Waissbluth teaches industrial engineering at Universidad de Chile. In 2008 he founded Educación 2020, a nongovernmental organization that wants to improve primary and secondary education in the country.
"Forty percent of the kids that go out to university don't understand what they read," Waissbluth told KGOU's World Views. "And they are grabbed by a university sector completely and fully deregulated, for profit, which abuses them to the point that we've had the explosions that we've had."
NORMAN, Okla. (AP) - April showers won't bring May flowers to parts of Oklahoma this week. Instead, forecasters say some areas could see sleet and snow over the next few days.
The National Weather Service says temperatures are expected to plummet from the 70s and 80s on Wednesday to near or below freezing early Thursday. A handful of severe thunderstorms popped up Wednesday in southwestern Oklahoma ahead of the cold front.
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - Oklahoma Schools Superintendent Janet Barresi says she will explore all the state's options to ensure that the needs of students and school districts are met following a series of technical glitches in student testing.

Best downloadable games of 2009: A year without boxes
In many ways, 2009 seems to be the year download-only games hit their stride. Between the iPhone and iPod Touch dominating the portable market with the ever-growing App Store; the release of the completely disc-free PSP Go; and the Nintendo DSi--which also can download games from an online store--portable gaming has started to move beyond the cartridge and disc. Even in home consoles, there's been a continuing focus on lower-cost downloadable games and DLC sold on Sony's PSN, Microsoft's Xbox Live Arcade, and the Nintendo Wii's WiiWare as alternatives to pricier disc-based titles.

Not that it contradicts the authors larger point, but the F-14 was a Navy plane, not an Air Force plane, and there are none left operational in the U.S., even in reserve. All operational ones remaining after retirement were destroyed so none of the parts could ever make it to Iran. Click Here if you Like this Comment
1a. Because he can.1b. Because he will do whatever he is allowed to get away with to damage US interests and weaken our position in the world wherever he can.2a. The F-14 Tomcat was operated by the US Navy. I am not aware the USAF ever used them as a front-line interceptor. A few might have been used for exercises or "aggressor" roles. Maybe.2b. The F-14 was big, size was mission-dictated. They were fleet [Battle Group] air defense against fast, long-range Soviet bombers carrying high-speed air-to-surface cruise missiles. The F-14 was capable of about Mach 2.4, carry any of our air-to-air missiles, and the only plane to operate the big, long-range Mach 5 Phoenix air-to-air missile [to attack the Soviet planes mentioned]. It could carry up to six of them, or a mix of missiles. Click Here if you Like this Comment
Why is he giving Abrams tanks and F-16s to Egypt? They are not our friend and will probably use them against Isreal. But then again that may be why we are providing them. The fact of the matter, if we get in a real war, we might need those tanks and planes ourselves, but than O would probably surrender first. Click Here if you Like this Comment

Previous posters are correct. F-14 Tomcat was NEVER flown by ANY services except US Navy and Iranian Air Force. Zero are flying outside of Iran.ALL US F-14s were destroyed after they left the US Navy service, except for a few totally gutted airframes in museums and as gate guards. All spare parts have been thoroughly destroyed to prevent Iran from obtaining them. Click Here if you Like this Comment
It´s a fire sale, it´s all got to go.The money is all gone. America´s gold reserves are gone as the Germans have found out when federal reserve (privately owned institution who emptied fort knox) informed Germany it would take seven years to return the gold that Germany actualy believed they were storing in the federal reserve repository.The Chinese government has even sent teams to America to inventory assets that could settle the debts that can not be paid off with fiat American dollars that have little to no value.

Specifically, 41 percent said that they had a negative view of the Creative Cloud compared to 32 percent who expressed a positive view. Beyond that, 62 percent of respondents … Read more

Louis Garneau Vorttice Black Knight Helmet $259.95
The Black Knight always triumphs.
It was Nietzsche who famously spoke the aphorism: 'Battle not with monsters, lest ye become a monster, and if you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you.' But after a mesmerizing stare into the cold, mirrored lens and stealthy black finish of the Louis Garneau Vorttice Black Knight Helmet, we're already more than a bit tantalized by the allure of the dark side, taking little heed to Nietzsche's warnings. The Vorttice has an imposing, almost medieval appearance that looks as deadly as it is fast. And that's before you're even in the start gate. This is especially critical, because when your battles are against individual riders and the clock itself, nothing is more important than the power of pure intimidation. Can you imagine the thoughts running through an opponent's head as he glances behind him and sees only darkness approaching as you bridge the gap? Absolute demoralization.
While the Vorttice looks fast, its spell-binding powers are more than psychological. The front of the Vorttice is dimpled like a golf ball to disturb the air just enough to speed its flow over the surface of the helmet. The angled ridges that follow the dimples are vortex generators that compress air as it flows over the helmet, again speeding its flow down the backside of the helmet. The combination of the two technologies cuts drag by 11 percent.
A single, front vent situated at the point of highest air pressure takes air in and directs it over the head through three different channels to help keep you cool. The Vorttice includes that aforementioned mirrored lens to improve airflow around the face. It can be removed or flipped up if desired. Keeping the helmet stable on the head is the Garneau Spiderlock SL which can be adjusted on the fly with just a simple twist of the retention dial. Steplock SL Dividers adjust the length and position of the straps quickly and easily with a locking cam design. Unlike many aero helmets with a heavy, elongated tail, the back of the Vorttice cuts off abruptly, making the helmet exceptionally light and keeping it out of the wind when you put your head down or look to the side.
The Garneau Vorttice Black Knight Helmet is available only in the color of darkness, and includes a matching black mirrored lens to block road glare and strike fear into the hearts of thine foes. It's available in three sizes from Small through Large.
- Mirrored blackout lens hides the intense focus of your continence, shielding it from wind and the sun's ultraviolet rays while minimizing fog accumulation
- Spiderlock SL rack-and-pinion adjustment lets you quickly and single-handedly dial in your perfect fit

COLUMBUS, OH - Landowners interested in planting Ohio Conservation Seedlings must place their orders before April 14 in order to receive trees for planting this spring, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources. More than 20 varieties are available from the Marietta State Tree Nursery and six of those varieties are now priced at a 20 percent discount. The one- to four-year-old, bare-rooted tree seedlings will be "lifted" from the nursery bed and distributed when planting season arrives in the different areas of the state. Available in groups of 25, a minimum total order of 100 Ohio Conservation Seedlings is required. The Division of Forestry, the largest producer of tree seedlings in Ohio, sells more than 2,000,000 trees each year. The seedlings are sold for reforestation, wildlife habitat development, erosion control, windbreaks and other conservation projects. More than 60 varieties of trees are grown at the nursery, including white pine, white oak, bur oak, black walnut, silver maple, Norway and white spruce, arborvitae, silky and red-osier dogwood, and paw paw. Some species, such as Ohio Buckeye, sweetgum, red oak, bald cypress, buttonbush and hazelnut are either sold out or are now available only in limited supply. Check the ODNR website at ohiodnr.com/forestry for current availabilities. Selecting the proper type of tree for a particular location and soil is essential for a successful planting. Landowners with three or more acres can receive help in choosing the right trees for their property through the Division of Forestry's service forester program. For availability of various tree species and prices, or for a list of service forester office locations by county, contact the Division of Forestry toll free at 1-877-691-8733 or online at ohiodnr.com/forestry.
For additional news online, check out the ODNR Press Room at Ohiodnr.com
