Stark Park restorations about to begin
Now the final resting place of Revolutionary War hero Gen. John Stark is about to be restored to its former dignity, thanks to the dedicated efforts of volunteers and the financial support of the community.
For the past three years, the Friends of Stark Park has been doing research and raising funds to properly restore the Stark family gravesite. At last, the work is about to begin.
Pat Howard, president of the group, stressed nothing will be done to the actual graves.
Stark and his wife, Molly, had 11 children; most of the original headstones are missing, and the group has only a 1906 schematic to guess at where some Stark descendents are buried. The general himself lies beneath a granite obelisk and, a monument marks the graves of other family members.
The plan is to restore the pillars and fencing that surround the site, which is on both national and state registers of historic places.
Oak Hill Construction of Framingham, Mass., which has done work on the Currier Museum of Art's Zimmerman House and at St. Paul's School in Concord, will restore the cement pillars and curbing.
An early plan was to replace the black iron fence that surrounds the site. But Peter Michaud, a historian from the state Division of Historical Resources, told FSP the hand-forged structure, erected in 1913, is a treasure in its own right.
"He really opened our eyes to the fact this fence, as it exists, is valuable," Howard said. "It really needs to be saved."
So FSP hired Cassidy Bros. Forge of Rowley, Mass., which has done work at Old North Church in Boston and Valley Street Cemetery in Manchester. As soon as weather permits, the fencing will be removed, and restored off-site.
A road in front of the fenced area will be replaced by a grassy "apron" where official events can be held. By mid-July, the restoration work is expected to be finished and landscaping will be under way, Howard said.
The FSP is launching a final push to raise the $53,000 needed to complete the project.
It has raised $106,000 to date, including $20,000 from the Manchester Community Improvement Program; $10,000 from conservation "moose" license plate funds; $6,000 from state and national chapters of Sons of the American Revolution; and foundation grants.
Now the group is hoping city residents will donate as well, according to board member Melissa Ballard Sullivan. "We need the small contributions of many," she said.
For $75, donors can purchase commemorative bricks for a walkway, she said.
Howard said FSP wants to spread the word about this project. . "I think history matters a lot, and certainly American history should matter to all of us," said Howard, who is a native of Canada with dual citizenship in the United States.
Howard is a docent at the Current Museum of Art, where she often asks visiting students whether they know who Gen. John Stark was. "Some of them do, of course, but a lot of them don't," she said.
And it's not just youngsters. "I would say 50 to 60 percent of people in Manchester have no idea General Stark is buried in Manchester," she said.
Stark commanded the First Regiment of New Hampshire in the Battle of Bennington where, on Aug. 16, 1777, his troops defeated a larger British force. Two months later, in the Battle of Saratoga, Stark's soldiers cut off the last escape route for the British, forcing them to surrender.
It was a turning point in the War for Independence, Howard said. "American history would have been very different without General Stark," she said. "So we really need to honor him and his family."
It was after Stark retired to his Manchester farm that he penned a now-famous message to his former soldiers. Too ill to attend their reunion, he sent this toast to be read:
"Live free or die. Death is not the worst of evils."
The first part of that message became New Hampshire's state motto; the second half is largely forgotten. But Ballard Sullivan said, "That part, I think, is just as important."
Gen. Stark died in 1822 and was buried in the family plot. The land was dedicated as a 30-acre public park in 1893; there are walking trails to the Merrimack River and a ballfield.
But by 2000, the character of the park had deteriorated. So in 2004, a group of neighbors formed Friends of Stark Park and set about restoring the park and the gravesite, according to a "Preservation Master Plan" developed by the city.
A local benefactor donated funds to build a bandstand, which opened in 2009. And the group paid to restore an equestrian statue of the general the following year.
The restoration of Stark Park has gotten a lot of support from the city, Howard said. Police are happy to see the park returned to a family-friendly environment; and the parks and recreation department has contributed labor to projects.
These days, Stark Park is a popular setting for weddings and high school graduation photos. Sunday concerts draw hundreds all summer long.
And FSP expects as many as 1,500 people will attend its annual Easter egg hunt on March 30. The event starts at 11 a.m. sharp - and ends shortly thereafter, Howard said.
One remaining mystery is what happened to a decorative urn that used to adorn the Stark family monument. City leaders only realized it was missing in the 1970s, but had no idea how long it had been gone.
It would cost $15,000 to replace the urn with matching granite from a quarry in Barre, Vt., Howard said. To order a similar piece from China would cost just $3,000.
But she said firmly, "We're not going to China."
She harbors a hope that the urn, which historians estimate may have weighed 250 pounds, may have been thrown over the fence by vandals and could turn up in the surrounding woods someday.
"We could hold a treasure hunt," she suggested.

Lawsuits over K-9 bites now harder to win
A new state law enacted last year requires proof of negligence, which lawyers say will make it tougher for innocent victims of police K-9 bites to get justice.
Seattle Times staff reporter
If your dog bites someone, under Washington law you are liable for any injuries, with few exceptions.
That concept, called "strict liability," applied to pets and police dogs alike — until last June, when a law passed by the 2012 Legislature exempting the owners of police dogs from dog-bite liability went into effect.
Substitute House Bill 2191was sponsored by Sen. Ann Rivers, R-La Center, who explained during a committee hearing that the proposed exemption was in response to a "cottage industry that's popping up, where criminals can sit in jails and write frivolous lawsuits against municipalities because police dogs are labeled vicious animals for the job we ask them to do."
According to the lawyers of people who have been bitten by police K-9s, the law makes it more difficult for innocent victims to find justice.
Before, a city's liability in such instances was assumed. Now it will be up to the victim to prove the bite resulted from some sort of negligence.
The author of the amendment was Craig Adams, who until last year was legal adviser to Pierce County Sheriff Paul Pastor. Adams said he'd been told that police "all over the state" were being targeted with inmate dog-bite lawsuits. He said he could not recall who made the statement.
Pierce County has paid nearly $600,000 in K-9 dog-bite claims in the past three years — but almost all to innocent bystanders.
The Seattle Times reviewed five years of dog-bite claims turned in to the risk managers and insurers of the state and more than 100 Washington cities and counties. The search turned up only three payouts, totaling $46,455, to men who had been arrested and afterward filed claims alleging injuries from police dogs.

Miley Cyrus advises Justin Bieber on how to stay out of trouble
This is the story that YOU wanted to hear us talk about! It received 50 percent of the vote in our Radioactive poll!
The oft-criticized Miley Cyrus has some advice for the oft-criticized Justin Bieber: Stay home.
"I would just say, 'You've got a lot of money. Pay people to make sure you don't get in trouble and party at your house,'" she said in a Thursday night interview with Jay Leno, as transcribed by ABC News. "Buy a house, and add a club to it."
Cyrus offered herself some positive publicity later in the interview, pointing out that she's never been arrested, despite getting a lot of flack for her antics.
"I'm doing a lot of (expletive), I'm not doing anything illegal, so that's all right," she said.

DePaul Women Fine on Field Trip Day
CHICAGO- A crowd of 18,488 can make a lot of noise. A crowd of 4,001 can make even more noise.
|DePaul Women Fall to No. 7 Kentucky
LEXINGTON, KY- The last time DePaul women's basketball coach Doug Bruno was in Lexington, he did not fare well. Things were not much better for him 40-odd years later.
No. 7/6 Kentucky used an early run and defeated DePaul 96-64 before a record Kentucky women's basketball crowd of 18,488 Friday night at Rupp Arena.
On December 18, 1970 Bruno was playing for the DePaul men's team under coach Ray Meyer at the Kentucky Invitational Tournament. The Blue Demons lost that game to No. 3 Kentucky and Adolph Rupp 106-85.
Bruno said after his team beat Northwestern last weekend that the Kentucky game was going to be "a really tough game for us. [Kentucky] has ten, quick athletic players who are going to press and pick us up 94 feet."
A layup by DePaul's Jasmine Penny tied the score at two. Kentucky then went on a 23-0 run in the game's first six minutes.
"I think the environment got to us, and that is a tribute to the fans," said Bruno. "[Kentucky] had 17 second shot baskets at halftime and I think they were all made by the 7 minute mark of the first half."
"I was very proud of my basketball team after we got shell shocked. At the point of being down 22 points I thought we finally just played basketball. I thought we did some things at that point that are only going to help us get better as the season moves forward."
"There are not going to be a lot tougher defensive teams for us to play. Kentucky did a great job of jumping us out of the gate."
This was the most points DePaul (6-3) has given up since a 96-60 loss to Stanford on December 13, 2010.
Anna Martin's two three pointers and Jasmine Penny's two field goals helped DePaul go on an 11-0 run to pull to within 40-24 with 6:18 left in the half.
Martin scored her first points on her first shot at 13:09 left in the first half.
The Kentucky native, playing in Rupp Arena for the first time, scored 14 points.
"I had a lot of family and friends here, and my high school team was here, too," said Martin. "I obviously hoped the result would have been different, but our team will learn from this and get better. When I heard the fight song, it was kind of hard for me to not chant along. Once the ball was up, it was game time."
Penny led DePaul with 16 points.
DePaul trailed 51-33 at the half, its largest halftime deficit this year.
The Blue Demons opened the second half shooting 2-13 while Kentucky opened at 7-12.
The Wildcats led 69-43 before last year's Southeastern Conference Player of the Year A'dia Mathies made back to back three-pointers.
Mathies and Martin opposed each other during Martin's sophomore year in high school, with Martin scoring 25 points and her team winning the Kentucky state championship.
DePaul is now 0-3 versus Kentucky, having lost to the Wildcats in 1983 and 1984.
Samarie Walker and DeNesha Stallworth each had double doubles for the Wildcats (7-1).
DePaul returns home to play to play Wisconsin-Milwaukee this Tuesday at noon as part of Field Trip Day.
- This was the first ranked team DePaul has played this year.
- DePaul's Deanna Ortiz was in attendance to watch fellow Puerto Rican National team member and Kentucky guard Jennifer O'Neill play.

Carlisle woman stands by decision to close business after hate campaign
Last updated at 12:00, Saturday, 26 May 2012
A young mum who is being forced to close her business after becoming the target of an internet hate campaign has put the company up for sale.
Related: Police probe Carlisle woman's claim internet bullies forced her out of business
Cupcake queen Emma Barnes announced three weeks ago that she planned to shut Babycakes, the baking company she runs from her Carlisle home, in October.
She took the decision after admitting she found the cake-baking community "too cruel" after receiving anonymous emails.
The announcement led to a flood of support from friends and customers with Babycakes fans inundating her with pleas to continue.
But the 29-year-old, of Morton, Carlisle, has pledged to stand by her original decision and is now looking for a buyer for the firm. "I can't even begin to describe how important all of those messages of support have been to me," she said.
"In fact, I think I've cried more over the positive feedback I've had than I ever did over the nasty messages.
"It's been surreal really; I've had complete strangers turning up on my doorstep.
"But it's definitely time for me to move on, I've got exciting plans for a new business venture with a friend which I hope to get off the ground later in the year."
Emma said she would love to see Babycakes live on and thought it would make an opportunity for someone to buy "a fantastic business".
"Even though I'm saying it myself, I think Babycakes is an awesome brand and it's ready for someone to take it on and build on the hard work I've put in," she added.
"I've had some inquiries already and I don't think I'll have any trouble selling it.
"It's going to be emotional letting go, but I've made my decision and now I'm looking forward to the next chapter of my life."

Natural Observations–6-17-2012Monday, June 18, 2012
Photos by Robin Song: Wilson's warbler in May Day tree, crab spider, Lincoln's sparrow, Lyra, gray jay with bumblebee, trumpeter swans
Earth and Beyond host and producer Robin Song finds some sunshine in the first half of June, and, as always, some interesting observations of the natural world in the northern Susitna Valley. Audio runs 8 min 40 sec. Text follows.
Waking up and discovering yet another day of rain starting is a bit daunting to my spirit. Moisture can be disastrous to sensitive digital cameras, so my photo ops have been very limited so far this summer.
On June 5th and 6th we had what has become rare sunny weather. The May Day tree was in bloom in front of the cabin and full of insects and birds. (more…)

Get a grip on employee carelessness
What you can do is revoke repeat offenders' privileges when it comes to using the equipment. Decreased responsibility can impact performance reviews and potential wage increases, providing more incentive for employees to follow your handling and maintenance protocols. Another motivator: Make team members sign on and off the equipment to boost accountability and responsibility. And don't forget that thorough, careful training often eliminates this problem altogether.

Almost instantaneously the horrific shooting in Tucson, Ariz., became the occasion for partisan hatred.
We remain skeptical that the courts will step in to save Yucca Mountain - and, by extension, the Central Savannah River Area.
Among the great things about the deep South is that we have grits, the best college football in the land and very little snow.
Sometimes the most important lessons learned at school don't come from a classroom.
It sneaks up on you, your love for this place. You're assigned this duty station, so you pack up all your bags, hoping for the best, but expecting the worst. You arrive in the heart of the summer, and your lungs feel like the humidity just might kill you. You have no friends, no family, no job and no school. Then it happens.
When the state of Georgia arrested four Final Exit Network volunteers, it accused them and our group, which advocates for the right to die with dignity, of assisting in suicides. In doing so, it drew attention to a Georgia law that violates the First Amendment right to free speech - and now FEN has brought an action in U.S. District Court to defend its rights.
Year 2010 was not the year of the Georgia Bulldogs football team. Coach Mark Richt's team just could not seem to get anything right in 2010.
To Nicholas Wansley and Brian and Thomas Yarbrough:
The General Assembly gathers in Atlanta this week facing a deficit of more than $1 billion. Across-the-board budget cuts are no longer sufficient to bridge the budget gap. Georgia needs more innovative, transformative ideas.
The sun was shining Saturday on Coastal Georgia - just at it was on Tucson, Ariz. But instead of going down in history as just another unremarkable day, Jan. 8, 2011, will live forever in this country as a day of terrible tragedy.
Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal was inaugurated to lead a state mired in hard times. The hopes of almost 10 million Georgians for better things are now his burden, his responsibility and his opportunity. There could hardly be a better way to begin a new era, or to dispel the ethics cloud that hung over his head as a candidate, than for this governor to take the lead in real ethics and accountability reform in state government. The token gestures to come from the Capitol of late have been feeble and suggest that Republican rule has so far been no improvement ...
President Barack Obama's first two years in office were for the ages: Rarely has so much been spent so wantonly with so little discernible public benefit.
We're ankle deep in January and for some reason I haven't heard much about New Year's resolutions. Usually by this time, I've heard about diets, exercise, yoga, guitar lessons and improved church attendance just to name a few. But this year, it's almost like everything is being kept secret.
In what may well be the single most significant report made to the General Assembly this session, a panel charged with reviewing the state's tax code and making recommendations regarding it will present its findings to legislators and Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle on Monday.
I've gained 12 pounds since my husband's return. Twelve pounds. That means that all of the hard work I put into diet and exercise to impress him lasted for all of that one welcome home night before the effects started to quickly disappear.
Editor, An editorial cartoon by R. McKee serves as a modern take on the old Hans Christian Anderson tale about the emperor who was swindled by to weavers who promise to make him a suit of clothes that is invisible to people who are stupid and incompetent. When the emperor and his cabinet members cannot see the clothes, they pretend to be able to see them for fear of being deemed unfit for their positions. In reality, the swindlers only pretended to make the suit and clothe the emperor. He isn't wearing anything.
On my "to-do" list last week was a reminder to call former Gov. Carl Sanders and see if he had any thoughts on how to get the field at Sanford Stadium named for UGA's former coach and athletic director Vince Dooley. I knew he would like the idea and perhaps could jerk a few chains I seem to have been unable to rattle thus far.
Back in 1966, Bobby Fuller sang about, "Robbin' people with a six-gun, I fought the law and the law won." And rightfully so - robbery is a crime. But what happens when it's the law doing the robbing and the law wins?
It started accidentally. Some good ideas and memorable moments are like that. They aren't planned. They're born, bringing with them an ability to nudge a way naturally into our lives and become a tradition.
Moms want everything and nothing at all. We want to be everywhere at once and also nowhere to be found. We want to impress everyone, handle every chore imaginable and spend every waking second bonding with our children. We also want to totally escape from life. Failure to accomplish this leads to immense guilt and, occasionally, foul moods.
Editor's note: U.S. Rep. Buddy Carter, R-Georgia, and other area elected officials will contribute periodic columns during the upcoming legislative sessions. This is a report about orientation that he went through last week.
I was on St. Simons Island last week, scarfing down massive amounts of corn-fried shrimp at the exquisite little Georgia Sea Grill, when someone came to the table to inquire if Junior E. Lee had finished his analysis of the recent election. That really puffed up Junior when I told him.
One afternoon, I had a hankering, a primal-like craving, for a supper of pinto beans and cornbread with a tall glass of cold, rich buttermilk thrown in for good measure and extra filling.
Typically, I use this weekly column to address parenting issues, reflect on challenges faced by (fairly) new moms and provide what I hope are amusing anecdotes that stem from daily life encounters with a toddler. This Sunday, though, I'm going to explore a topic that's more indirectly related to - but still very much a part of - child-rearing.
Residents of Bryan County have the opportunity Monday to show our support for a continued strong presence of the Marne Division in Bryan and surrounding counties.
This is a story I shared with some of you a couple of years ago, but given the well-deserved tributes this week to our veterans, it seems an appropriate time to share it with all of you. It is about a terrorist; an honest-to-God terrorist. Not only does he not deny the appellation, he's proud of it.
At the Department of Veterans Affairs, we have one of the most noble and inspiring missions in government. I accepted this job and joined this mission to better serve you - our veterans - and improve the delivery of the care and benefits you have earned. It is our privilege to serve you, and I have made clear that as we move forward as a department, we will judge the success of all our efforts against a single metric - the outcomes we provide for veterans.
Over the years, I've crossed paths with many who were extremely successful as well as some who were such miserable failures that, as Mama liked to say, they "ain't worth the breath they draw."
I recently saw a meme posted to a social-media site that said something along the lines of "Having children: Your way of showing the world you no longer intend to be on time - ever."

DEFINITION of 'Unearned Revenue'
When an individual or company receives money for a service or product that has yet to be fulfilled. Unearned revenue can be thought of as a "pre-payment" for goods or services which a person or company is expected to produce to the purchaser. As a result of this prepayment, the seller now has a liability equal to the revenue earned until deliver of the good or service.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Unearned Revenue'
From an accounting perspective, unearned revenue is a double-edged sword. The early cash flow to the firm is advantageous for any number of activities, such as paying interest on debt to purchasing more inventory. However, by accepting unearned revenue, the firm has then entered a legal obligation to deliver on the terms of the payment. For example, with a prepayment on a lease contract, the revenue is a liability until it has been earned.

The most recent Hyperdunk 2013 releases we'd seen were team oriented, and while this new drop is certain to show up paired with some squad's unis, it's also a bit more expressive than the aforementioned black-uppered foursome. This Nike Hyperdunk 2013 is bound to draw more attention thanks to its Flash Lime upper, which adds a more verdant but still vivid shade to the midsole and lining, and Arctic Green on the Swoosh and outsole. We're about to enter fall but this springy green Hyperdunk 2013 has next at Finish Line. via SN

Long Description
TRADE WINDS RV PARK is a RV Park in or near the town of Mission. It is a largish and maybe almost large park with a claimed 300 sites to park your recreational vehicle. This park does not seem to have pull thru sites. Do not worry too much about the length of your large RV since the sites are built for large RVs. Electric hookups are provided. Power is no problem – the park has 50 amp service. Another of the basics – water hookups – is provided. Adding to your RVing joy, make sure you bring your stinky slinky as there are sewer connections at the park. If you just cannot get away without a little taste of the internet – do not be alarmed – WiFi is at the park. You will not have to miss the big game since Cable TV is part of this parks offering. Your pet is welcome at this park. Maybe an anti-riff-raff rule, but tent camping is not accepted. Swimming pool access is a nice touch for this park. If the days get hot, you can enjoy the shade trees that exist here. Do not be a stranger, when you are by Mission, give the peeps at TRADE WINDS RV PARK a call.

Our guests reviewsIBEROSTAR Tucán
Rick Wiggins says: about 1 month
Absolutely Wonderful!
"Food was great. Accommodations and Staff are wonderful. The animals were so amazing to see up close (monkeys, tzereques, raccoons, peacocks, iguanas, flamingos, parrots, turtles, etc) We love the jungle paths. Landscaping was gorgeous. This was our 2nd time to come to Iberostar Quetzal/Tucan and we will definitely be back!"Rating: 10,0
Alexander Perea says: about 1 month
"A beautiful resort with a great atmosphere... Except for the al la carte restaurants. The dress code just isn't enforced and its rather pathetic. Our last night I saw tons of people in flip flops, shorts and t-shirts. It's pretty misleading when you expect the atmosphere of a somewhat decent restaurant and end up with the sizzler."Rating: 7,0
Jessica Lambourne says: about 1 month
"My boyfriend and I stayed at the Iberostar Tucan from the 13th to 27th September this year. It was my first time in Mexico and my boyfriends third time, so I had heard a lot about how fantastic Mexico was. I was certainly not disappointed! The hotel was fantastic. The pools are excellent and so big there is no way you can get under anyone's feet. Some of the areas are quite deep but I didn't mind that. The pools were always being checked and cleaned by staff. The hotel staff were very friendly and always willing to help in any way they can. The food was great. There was always a lot of choice so even the fussiest of people can be catered for. During our two week stay we ate at all of the a la carte restaurants. The Japanese was by far our favourite of the restaurants but all of them were lovely. We'd heard some bad reviews about the drinks but we thought the selection was excellent. The cocktails were nice and there was a good selection of premium branded alcohol for the nights you just wanted a rum and coke! The beach is gorgeous. One day we walked to the right passed all the hotels and there is a lovely Bay Area which is quite quiet if you want to get away from the bustle of the hotels beach area. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, and always very clean. Fantastic stay and looking forward to planning a trip back next year. Thank you for making out holiday great!! "Rating: 10,0

Beautiful Resort in the Jungle
"We stayed at the Iberostar Tucan on September 20-27th 2014. We were a party of 6 people. We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this all-inclusive resort and would return for another visit! Our favorite things: The star friends made for good entertainment and activity every day. All the star friends were so friendly and made sure to make the trip enjoyable. The jungle in the middle of the resort is amazing with some incredible sights including monkeys, peacocks, and other animals. The resort is well maintained for being 20+ years old. We loved all the open areas including the lobby. Our least favorite things: the food was okay (no one should go hungry) but it was very monotonous. We wished for more of a variety. The Mexican and Carribean specialty restaurant were horrible. The food was cold and so much food was wasted by people not eating the meals. They have so much potential and hopefully will improve. The Italian and Japanese specialty restaurants are great! "Rating: 7,0
Marguerite Johnson says: about 1 month
Our experience was great - and we hope to visit another of your Iberostar locations in the near future! Thank you again for a wonderful vacation!
"We thoroughly enjoyed our wonderful week with you at the Iberostar Tucan. It was a fabulous week! The staff is excellent - the view is breathtaking! I only have two negative comments: 1 - It would be nice if the swim up bar would be available a little longer than 5pm. That is a very enjoyable location and it closes too early! 2nd - the one restaurant on site we visited twice. One night it was Mexican and the 2nd was Tropical. The hostess at this restaurant was the least friendly staff member that we encountered our entire stay. And the food on both evenings was not good. We saw alot of food wasted both nights from not only us, but other tables that were not eating the food that they were served. The food was not hot, nor was it prepared well. However - even with those two experiences - I would return there again to enjoy all the good points of your resort. We truly had one of the best vacations of our life! Thank you - Margie and Roger Johnson"Rating: 9,0

Still a work in progress?
I'm new to the forum and I am hoping that someone may have the solution to my problem.
I should explain that my motivation for investigating Linux is that we have four computers in this house. Three run on Vista and one on XP media centre ed. All have 32bit OS but 64bit hardware. The Vista machines are so slow as to be intolerable, the XP machine, like all XP, is going out of support. Oddly enough, all of the hardware is reliable. I will not be paying four licence fees for W8 so want an alternative. My brother is a Linux loon. He is quite brilliant, but 99% nuts. For years he has been telling me to make the change to Linux. Every few years I look and then wander off again because Linux is still stuck in its teenage phase.
This time I have loaded numerous types of Linux to a USB stick and tested each on the various machines. Some work better than others and some look better. This Mint Cinnamon looks best so far, sort of 1990s professional rather than a student project file launcher from the 1980s. However none work in anything but the very basics and all respond differently on the various hardware (there are only 3 sets of hardware as two of the machines are identical).
Most versatile was Puppy Linux but it is the least attractive visually. None can see the network properly at all so I have not been able to get to connect with either the NAS drive or the network printer/scanner. Some won't play sound, some won't play video, I can only see what seems like random other PCs on the network.
Now, I am a normal person. I want to use the facility a PC delivers. I donlt want to know how it does it. A bit like a TV, I want to switch it on and have it work, no messing. My wife is even less interested in what puts the picture on the screen. As a retired university tutor in political philosophy, she hs been consistent in the decades we have been together. Her maxim is, "if it needs instructions, it's a bad design". She never reads instructions and I doubt she knows what F1 does.
I was hoping that, on the eve of 2014 and with the killing off of XP being heavily promoted, that the Linux community would be set to save the world from Microsoft. It is not. Unless one of you lot know where I can get a normal person, fully functioning Linux solution.
NB, this has taken a lot of effort to type as so many of my keyboard keys don't work or do strange things and my touchpad is dead. Thanks Minty.

Since you haven't posted any information on your hardware, there's really no way to respond to the problems you mention.

Hi yancek.
1. The machines we have are two Toshiba laptops with deal core AMD 64bit processors 800Mhz, 4GB ram, slowish 120G disk model year 2008. Two HP desktops, a dual core 2.6GHz and a quad core 2.8, both with 4GB ram, one with integrated and one with separate Nvidia graphics. No games played so low level graphics, 1GB on one with HDMI output . Both have slowish 160G disks. The best machine, and by far the fastest, is the older 2.6Ghz that has XP. When I say faster, that's all relative. With the Vista machines you can go off and make a cup of tea, drink it and wash-up afterwards while they get started. We have a full CAT5e wired network through the house with a central comms cabinet housing LG NAS and also, in the office, a Brother network printer/scanner. There's a Samsung TV that connects too that I sometimes use to play video off the NAS but it has to transcode through a PC running a server. I use the XP machine to do that as it runs the best.
2. You edited my sentence about my brother. He's nuts as well as brilliant. He also lives in Aus and I live in England, bit of a problem, can't pop round there and the time difference is a bit tricky too. I note that everytime I talk to him about about Linux he has moved on to another type. Right now he's promoting Knoppix but he wasn't last time we spoke. Knoppix and that was one of the least successful Linux I tried. A few years back he was recommending Debian or was it Unbuntu. Tried Unbuntu, disappointing, kept freezing one, no network, no sound on any, strange keyboard behaviour. My brother is like a Linux missionary and just won't stop trying to convert people. His capacity to explain things is limited because he just hates MS and every conversation turns into a rant.
My original question wasn't about solving a specific issue with the a specific Linux on a specific type of hardware, it was if anyone had knowledge of and could point me to a Linux version devloped for people who don't have the depth of knowledge of a committed enthusiast. I seem to have upset you and I'm sorry about that. Look at it like this. Most people just drive their cars, a few like to service their's too but me, I'd rather not. It's the same with PCs.

Hi Gregm, thanks for your reply.
My interpretation of you comment is that the Linux OS is mature and works but the user interface side, the windows (really need a better word) as such are another matter.
I can see that where I am coming form is very different to the regular Linux user. I was trying to find one Linux I could install on all four PCs that would do the things we need. This is not the first time I have been through this exercise but each time Linux has moved on. After spending a series of days testing different Linux types on the 3 different sets of hardware I was left frustrated. I recognise it's free but I still have not found one that works in the vital areas straight off. Networking is vital and I'm sure that I am not alone in that.
What I can see though is the speed. There must be many millions of people, like me with older machines that are on the point of scrapping them to buy new in the hope it will be faster. Linux boots in less than a minute on my slowest machine running off a USB stick. Now, that's less time than it takes my kettle to boil so it is faster by several degrees of magnitude when compared to Vista. Think of all the older machines in the world that could be saved from landfill if everyone with XP and Vista went to Linux. To convince them though, it will have to be right first time. I have not found one yet so my question remains, do you know of one?

Linux networking is excellent. If you've had problems in the past you've likely needed to do a little reading before doing the installation.
Personally I prefer a simple desktop environment and for me xfce (default in Xubuntu) works very well. It is also suitable for older machines because it is lightweight. Some Linux distros should be ignored by new and casual users. Environments such as Ubuntu on the other hand are very easy in install and setup. It isn't MS and doesn't work that way so a person should read up on the installation procedure for the distro being installed and check compatibility with your hardware.
There are things to be learned. It may turn out that a driver needed for a card your computer uses has to be downloaded from somewhere. Laptop power management support isn't what it could be, in part because manufacturers have tended to ignore standards in favor of supporting MS. It can be frustrating but it can also be fun. On the flip side, when I'm forced to work on MS or OSX I findmyself frustrated by the cruft they put in the way of actually getting some work done.

Go to distrowatch.com and use their search function. Check the boxes for beginner and old computer, and they will give you a list of distributions that should work on your hardware, and don't require advanced linux skills. When you have a list, work from the more popular (highest ranked) ones on down, and try different live distro's until you find one that you like. I prefer Lubuntu, others like Mint or Zorin, or some other flavor. The only way to tell what works for you, is to try several.
While you are at distrowatch.com, look at the top 100 on the right side of the page, and down a bit. These are the 100 most downloaded distro's, in order, and is a good indicator of what other people have found to work for them.Registered Linux user #526930

There are quite a few members here who are also from Australia but, if your brother is 'nuts' I guess that would complicate things. Knoppix is a poor choice to install on a hard drive and that is explained on their site. It was designed to be used as a Live CD so I wouldn't consider it in your case. The biggest factors are processor, RAM and graphics cards.
There are quite a few people who like your brother either are Linux fanatics or hate microsoft. I don't like microsoft for their business practices but rarely get into discussions about it. If you want real fanatics, try an Apple forum.
You've tried and Mint which was designed to entice windows users and since you didn't like it, the new distribution claiming to be the most friendly to former windows users is Zorin which was mentioned above. Just google 'Zorin OS' and you should be taken to their site. You would probably be better off getting the release 6.4 rather than the newest as the 6.4 version will have longer support for updates. They also have a 'lite' version which might be better on your older machines.
It ends up being a matter of taste or choice. The advantage is that you can download and burn to a CD/DVD for the cost of the CD/DVD or you can install virtual software like VirtualBox for free and test them in that, not even the cost of a CD.
- 12-31-2013 #10
Hello there! Welcome aboard!
Honestly, the suggestions about Mint and Zorin would be the ones that top my list for new Linux users who don't necessarily want to learn all of the ins and outs of Linux. Both are stable systems, and are easy enough to manage once you get the hang of not doing things 'the Windows way'. The learning curve is really quite minimal with them, especially Mint.
I would say give it another shot. Maybe use a LiveUSB or LiveDVD of it for a few days to really get into the swing of it, then you can decide it Mint is right for you.
yancek also mentioned VirtualBox, which is a great way to install and use Linux without risking your current system and saved data.Jay

So, I want to tap into that energy a day ago about traveling to India.
It seems that our readers here have extensive knowledge about traveling around India and know where to go and the best places to visit.
I like to make an opportunity for you to come forward and possibly help us generate discussion regarding travel destination.
If there's anything that you want to talk about. Please feel free to make self-post.
i understand that this subreddit is more about posting pictures and stuff. That's really great. But let's try and expand it.
I hope you can all help us and expand it by generating more discussion regarding travel destination, best foods to try, tips and whatnots.
if there is enough interest, we can open a wiki page or a faq page for some who may want to contribute something to the subreddit.
with that contribution, there might be a reward possibly having a new mod to the mod team as an incentive!
Also, if you can, please help us by spreading the words about this subreddit. It's a small subreddit but the only way we can grow is for you to help us create awareness about this subreddit!

Friday 28 Nov 2014
By Anna Somers Cocks. Web onlyPublished online: 21 November 2013
The Abu Dhabi Art fair has closed on its second day due to water leaking into its main building, the sand dune-shaped pavilion that is the UAE's legacy from the Expo 2010 Shanghai. It did not stand up to last night's storm, which was the worst to hit the Gulf since 1993. The Dubai Air show, an event at which hundreds of millions of dollars worth of business is being done, has also closed.
At three am, the shippers Hasenkamp were in the pavilion protecting the works and so far no reports of serious damage to any of them have been made. Some dealers are angry because they remember the building leaking three years ago when it was first used, but Mohammed Hafiz of Athr Gallery from Jeddah said, "We want to be accommodating because this has been an act of God". Christopher Bentley of AXA Art insurance said, "If a work displayed on a gallery's stand is damaged, that is normally covered by its insurance. Usually exhibitors don't insure against a fair being cancelled and the consequent loss of earnings, although such insurance does exist. Whether the exhibitors have a claim for this on the fair organisers will depend on the terms of the contract between them." Later in the day, the organisers reopened the adjacent Manarat Al Saadiyat, in which part of the fair and all the talks are taking place, and tomorrow's programming will go ahead as planned, although more rain is expected.

Let's start with the rain. Many areas of the south and east recorded anywhere from a half to three quarters of an inch. But some spots managed to get way more than that. Here's a list of some of the harder hit areas. Remember that the melted snow that much of the area saw (with the exception of northwest Iowa) is in these liquid totals.
And now on to the snow totals... A couple impressive bands of snow developed in this storm. One set up in the north and west, and a second in the southeast. These two bands yielded some heavy snow with very little distance between the areas that received a bunch and the areas that didn't get a flake. Here is a look at the storm totals.
