Is Winslow becoming an arts community? August 31, 2013Posted by Ron Warnick in Art, Motels, Towns.

With the galleries in La Posada Hotel as an anchor, the Route 66 town of Winslow, Ariz., is becoming an arts community, reported the Arizona Journal.
The newspaper cited these examples:
- Snowdrift Art Space, which displays La Posada manager Daniel Lutzick's sculptures.
- El Gran Art Garage, owned by Paul Ruscha.
- La Posada Hotel, which displays a wide variety of artworks, including works by Winslow resident and La Posada co-owner Tina Mion.
- The Winslow Arts Trust coalition, a nonprofit organization that is restoring the town's original railroad depot into an art space.
- The Station to Station event on Sept. 21, a train that will stop in Winslow as part of a show of contemporary art, experimental music and film. Musicians Jackson Browne and Georgio Moroder and photo legend Ed Ruscha will be part of the show.
- Artist James Turrell. who bought Roden Crater northwest of Winslow, is turning it into a naked-eye observatory.
The article is fairly persuasive. It wouldn't surprise me if Winslow becomes much like Marfa, Texas, which has become an artist's haven in its own right despite it being in a rather isolated location.
If so, it would be an amazing transportation. After Interstate 40 bypassed the town, Winslow shriveled and didn't have much going for it for a long time. The restoration of La Posada — plus a steady stream of tourists checking out the Standin' on a Corner site — played a big part in Winslow's slow but steady renaissance.

Driver aims to set coast-to-coast record in 1930 Ford Model A August 30, 2013Posted by Ron Warnick in Road trips, Vehicles.

Australian adventurer Rod Wade and co-pilot Michael Flanders are aiming to drive America coast-to-coast in a 1930 Ford Model A in less than 60 hours in mid-October, according to Wade's website.
Their planned route will take them along the Lincoln Highway, the pioneering American transcontinental route championed by Henry Ford, and part of Jackson and Cocker's original crossing, as well as down sections of iconic Route 66.
They will mark the start of their non-stop journey, which begins on Columbus Day (October 14th) by filling a bottle with water from the Atlantic Ocean, just off Staten Island. The water will then be poured into the Pacific Ocean when the team arrives at Venice Beach, Los Angeles. That's when the clock will stop and a new world record will be set.
The "Ocean 2 Ocean Challenge" pays tribute to the original coast-to-coast drive 110 years ago. Based on the map, it appears he and his crew will pick up Route 66 at Oklahoma City and stay on it to the Pacific Ocean.
So be prepared to wave to a 1930 Ford on Route 66 in mid-October. Don't expect him to stop and chat, however. He's on the clock.
Wade is no amateur in vintage-car challenges. He recently completed the Peking-to-Paris Motor Challenge, traveling 8,000 miles on primitive roads in 33 days. And he's planning a London-to-Cape Town journey — a distance of almost 10,000 miles.
Wade has been using the long journeys to raise money for kidney health awareness. His wife and daughter suffer from kidney disease.

Interesting observation from a Chinese tourist August 29, 2013Posted by Ron Warnick in Highways, History.

We've reported about the growing numbers of Chinese tourists traveling Route 66. A few days ago, Chinese winners of a General Motors contest to travel the Mother Road drove through Kingman, Ariz.
Naturally, when you're behind the wheel for long stretches in an unfamiliar land, you start to think about the contrasts of your homeland. Fang Cai, who maintains homes in his native Beijing and in Toronto, had this to say to the Kingman Daily Miner:
"I feel that the more I see Route 66, the more I want to know the stories behind it and how it affected America. […] We need to understand Route 66 and the culture behind it to be able to bring information back to China that will help develop it. Everything is getting better there, but it developed too fast and we created new problems because the people weren't ready for it. What we learn here is valuable to us."
Too bad the reporter didn't let Fang elaborate a bit more. It's well-documented China is experiencing growing pains because of its juiced-up economy. But the comparison to Route 66 is interesting. I don't know whether he mused on the rapid growth in traffic on early U.S. 66 leading to the interstate that nearly killed it, or whether he observed something else. Maybe he saw something desirable in Route 66's more-organic growth in its decertification era.
Thoughts, anyone?

Thoughts on "Breaking Bad" August 28, 2013Posted by Ron Warnick in Attractions, Movies, Television.
Tags: Albuquerque, Breaking Bad
2 comments
The acclaimed AMC television drama "Breaking Bad" has received a lot of attention in recent weeks because it is embarking on its fifth and last season.
For those who are unfamiliar, "Breaking Bad" tells the story of Walter White, a mild-mannered high school chemistry teacher who morphs into a drug kingpin. A diagnosis of inoperable lung cancer unleashes his id ("I am awake"). He initially begins to cook high-quality methamphetamine to provide a nest egg for her pregnant wife and his handicapped son, but his activities begin to swamp his life and others.
This video conveys the tone of the series:
I've watched about 15 episodes on Netflix. In addition to the terrific acting and writing, "Breaking Bad" shows how the smallest details can trip up the most intelligent criminal.
Another thing notable about "Breaking Bad" is it's shot in Albuquerque. The producers undoubtedly shot in New Mexico to take advantage of generous tax credits for the film industry. But "Breaking Bad" wisely included Albuquerque as a vital part of the setting. I recognized many landmarks from the series, including at least two scenes at the historic Dog House restaurant on Route 66. Albuquerque has made such a big impression on "Breaking Bad," the city often is described as another character.
That leads to this essay in the New Yorker by Albuquerque native Rachel Syme, who observed the big increase of "Breaking Bad" tours and tourists in her hometown:
Many people have asked me if I think "Breaking Bad" shines a "bad light" on the state. I don't. And, often, the unabashed love of Walt and co. by locals (citywide events, themed microbrews, Heisenberg hat manufacturers) is puzzling to outsiders. The show is a fable about seediness and monstrosity and a city ravaged by drug trouble. Baltimore isn't exactly putting up billboards about "The Wire." (But we are!) I try to explain that New Mexicans are proud of anything that draws us out of neglect, out of never really fitting in. We are just happy to be considered, even if it is for our underbelly.
Perhaps it's also because we realize there is no sense in hiding our dark side, which is so deep a part of living in a state that has been dismissed and economically hobbled from the start. (We tried to become a state for more than fifty years; no one wanted us; we offered to change the state name to Lincoln; they still didn't.) […]
When I spoke with Ball, the Candy Lady, about the influx of interest in the state's more sordid affairs, she told me that she doesn't see a downside to it. She also told me that last year, just as her sugary narcotics made national news, her daughter-in-law died from a meth overdose. The reality of her life and that of the show are constantly in collision, in a way that might make other people turn away and look forward to its end. But she doesn't want "Breaking Bad" to be over. She'll keep selling blue rocks as long as the people arrive. "The whole world can see Albuquerque now," she says. "They see us with all our problems. We're not shy about it, just as I'm not shy about mine. But the people … they also see the sky. They never knew! I get so many travellers who tell me they can't believe this place. They can't believe this has been a part of their country, this whole time."
This excerpt dovetails back to a series of discussions during the Route 66 Summit a few weeks ago in Joplin, Mo. Michael Wallis said (paraphrased) to "tell the truth about history of Route 66. Don't just sugar-coat for nostalgia. People want the real history." Route 66 Corridor Preservation Program director Kaisa Barthuli said "people are looking for authentic interactions with people in a community. They want to hear your stories."
That's what's holding back many communities on Route 66. Residents in small towns that deteriorated in the interstate era often are ashamed. Residents of gritty larger towns (such as Albuquerque) or with unsavory histories (Tulsa) often are apologetic or defensive.
Instead, these residents and towns need to take ownership of that history and what they have. I'm not saying towns shouldn't try to improve their economies and standards of living. But these towns also need to accept what they are and embrace it. Tulsa ought to own up to the 1921 Race Riot and its one of its racist town fathers instead of trying to ignore them. Virden, Ill., should play up the 1898 massacre between security guards and miners that left 11 people dead (and helped kick-start the career of a prominent union activist). And the coming years, Joplin, Mo., should tell visitors of the 2011 tornado that forever altered the city.
Even Disney has learned its lesson from this. The fictional Route 66 town of Radiator Springs in the movie "Cars" is imbued with tragedy because it shriveled after being bypassed by the interstate. With this background of heartbreak, it becomes even more moving when the sun sets on Radiator Springs in Cars Land and its neon lights flash to life.
In short, Route 66 should embrace all the wonderful, happy, sad and messy things of its history — and its present.

Students' Route 66 art on display at Tulsa Historical Society August 25, 2013Posted by Ron Warnick in Art, Museums.

Tulsa Public Schools students created about 80 pieces of art inspired by Route 66, and they're on display at the Tulsa Historical Society through Oct. 5, reported the Tulsa World.
The art pieces depict landmarks such as the Blue Whale in nearby Catoosa, Admiral Twin Drive-In theater, and the historic 11th Street Bridge.
Historical Society Executive Director Michelle Place said the exhibit is paired with another about Michael Wallis, author of "Route 66: The Mother Road" and the society's historian in residence.
"One of our goals is for school children to learn to love museums. They're not scary places. They can find a connection," she said. "We hope Tulsa Public Schools students can make that connection between the 'Cars' movie and the sheriff of Radiator Springs and Michael Wallis and our historian in residence." […]
Place said even though thousands of people from across the world travel along the historic highway every year, Tulsa doesn't take advantage of its Mother Road roots.
"Tulsa is really missing the boat in not embracing Route 66. Tulsa is the heart of Route 66. It's where east meets west," she said. "We're trying to raise awareness of and education about Route 66."

Costa Mesa, CA 92626
Category: Music Venues
Region: Costa Mesa
Entering a new phase of musical performance, the Pacific Symphony's opera initiative continues to soar after the immense success of last year's semi-staged portrayal of Puccini's La Boheme. This year, they take on the master composer's exquisite, grand tragedy Tosca. Starring Claire Rutter as the lead role, this romantic torrent gets wings from both the Pacific Chorale and Southern California Children's Chorus, creating an ethereal, haunting rendition of a tale of love, jealousy, deceit and murder. With the orchestra not in a sub-level pit but rather right on stage, and the singers in front of the musicians, this opera classic floods audiences with the full impact of Puccini's powerful music and story.

Cloud computing is the concept of using a distributed network of computers to solve accomplish a given task. The particular network of computers may logically be represented as a single computer, but have the combined power and resources of their total physical number. For instance, a cloud computing network may be made up of 100 individual computers, but only act as one machine. This makes administration much easier. Another benefit of cloud computing is the ease of expansion. More computers may be added to the cloud environment without disrupting the system.

My husband, Ryan, is a graduate of Vanderbilt, where he played baseball & studied business management. He played professionally for a few years and this led us to much travel. Ryan currently works as a manager or computer hardware in the technology field. We have two daughters who love to visit the cabin, which isn't too far from our home.
Erica or Ryan Rote purchased this cabin in 2011
Why Erica or Ryan Rote chose Pigeon Forge
This area is our favorite because the mountains are so beautiful and the town has a lot to do and see! It is rapidly growing. Every trip we take, we see something new & different. We love looking for bears in Cade's Cove, shopping around the various shops & outlets, eating at the various eateries, and seeing scenic areas. We can never get in enough trips! We take pride in making our cabin updated, unique, clean and your stay enjoyable and memorable. We are happy to share our getaway with you & hope that you like it enough to come back!

Guestbook comments from the owner
This is Huib from the Netherlands. Me and Lori have stayed at Show Stopper September 5th till the 8th. I would just like to thank you again for having us! We had a wonderful time in the cabin with all its splendid facilities. It was a true piece of paradise, and we have had a wonderful time together cause we were able to escape the craziness of everyday life. We truly enjoyed cooking in the cabin (Dutch, Italian and American classic food) and we truly enjoyed having all the luxury around us for the days that we spent there! We would love to come back in time, cause it all was just very pleasant! We also really appreciate the help with the door lock on the phone by you and your husband. The atmosphere felt great and we love the way it was decorated! Looking forward staying there again and you can be sure I will recommend this place to all of our friends in Tennessee and in Europe! If you have a newsletter or anything like that, we would love to be added to the list so we are kept in the loop about this piece of paradise!

Recent studies showing a correlation between descent of the anterior and apical vaginal compartments suggest that cystoceles may recur if associated apical prolapse is not corrected. However, to date the anatomical relationship of apical prolapse with respect to cystocele has been incompletely reported. We present the predictive value of a cystocele for clinically significant vaginal apical prolapse.We retrospectively reviewed the records of all new patient visits to a urogynecology clinic in a 30-month period. Women with a point Ba value of -1 or greater (stage 2 cystocele and above) were included in analysis. Predictive values of clinically significant apical prolapse, defined as point C -3 or greater, were calculated and stratified by cystocele stage.A total of 385 women were included in study. Point Ba was the leading edge of prolapse in 83.9% of cases. The position of Ba strongly correlated with that of the vaginal apex (Spearman ρ = 0.769, p <0.001). Overall 59.7% of patients had a point C of -3 or greater. The finding of clinically significant apical prolapse increased significantly with increasing Ba values. Of patients with stage 2, 3 and 4 cystocele point C was -3 or greater in 42%, 85% and 100%, respectively.The finding of stage 2 or greater cystocele is highly suggestive of clinically significant apical vaginal descent to -3 or greater. Furthermore, as cystocele stage increases, the predictive value of apical prolapse also increases. Surgeons contemplating cystocele repair should have high suspicion for vaginal apical prolapse and consider concomitant repair.

Wednesday, March 10, 2010
Yesterday we took a drive down to a valley farm. The Rees Ranch was having babies. They called us and invited us to come down and see all the new colts that were born recently. That baby on the bottom right was born the night before last. Horses are so beautiful! I'm always overwhelmed at how majestic and lovely they are.
We took Carl with us because this is were we got him when he was a pup and we thought it would be nice if he saw all his brothers and sisters again. He had a great time.
If you are not a Corgi owner it's hard to see the subtle differences in a group of corgis that are related. Carl is, of course, the one with the leash. His grandmother was there; sitting between the Prospector's legs. She was such a sweetie. Old and quiet. She just wanted to have her head rubbed.
When we pulled up the Corgi dogs came from everywhere. It was so cute to watch them run to greet us. We had not been back to see the Rees Farm since we picked up Carl last Spring. All his brothers and sisters were there. His Mom.., the beautiful blond in the bottom right photo acted like he was just another dog in the pack. They were all very friendly.
Mr. E gave us a tour of the farm and told us about the interesting process of artificial insemination. They use this now exclusively. It's the difference between 4 or 5 babies and possibly 15 or more in one breeding season. When your business is horses this is a boon to breeding.
We had a great time and when we left....
"It's OK Carl. He's suppose to be in here. His name is Cutter. He's your nephew and he's going to come and live with us."
Yes, Carl is alone no more and we have a rescue puppy. He came from a broken home in Oregon. He and his dad were brought down here a few weeks ago by the Rees because the family who bought Cutter's dad could not keep him or any of the puppies that they were breeding. We not only came back to the ranch to see the colts but we came to see Cutter too. We just didn't tell Carl that we were coming to see more than horses...
Tomorrow I will give you the details about Cutter and LOTS of photos.

Wow 2 cutie corgies! How lucky for carl and cutter...that picture of the 2 of them is priceless! You could write some good captions for sure! How about cutter saying.."does he always stare like that?!" looking forward to more horse pictures.

That's so cool. I'm happy for you. Cutter is a pretty dog. I think Carl and Cutter are great names together, too. Carl's face is cute. He looks like Cutter shouldn't be there. :D

How exciting to have a new corgi in the family! I love corgis - did I tell you my sister has one? I can't think of much that's cuter than a bunch of corgi pictures! LOVE 'em.

How sweet is that! I loved the pictures of Carl and all of his kin folk. I am not quite ready to make that step. I am thinking just from things that JD has said that he is ready to get another companion as soon as I say the word. Everyone has there own time before moving on. I am just slower than most. I am anxious to read how your two furry children are having so much fun together.

that is so sweet that you got another puppy!!! Yeah!

How COOL!!! Will love to hear details of the new Corgi!!! My hubby wanted to purchase a Corgi once, years ago, but the breeder refused to sell her dogs to someone who was in the horse business (raised and trained Appaloosas). He could not believe it! I guess someone didn't tell your friends at the ranch that horses and Corgis should not be around each other, eh?? Ridiculous!

What a great photo! Carl looks so "uncertain" of what's happening! And Cutter is a cutie, too.

What a cute story and nothing better than being out in farm land and enjoying the animals.
- March 10, 2010 at 4:11 PM
I'm just rolling around on the bed with laughter at the two of you and your Corgi love -- and how you said you couldn't see adding another dog for awhile!!! Pshaw! In the blink of an eye, Corgi passion strikes again at 3 Dog Farm.
Cutter! I just love that name! Carl and Cutter -- it is just too perfect. That shot of Carl and Cutter in the car is worth 1,000 words. ADORABLE.
What a wonderful gift you and Steve have given yourselves. It makes me smile and laugh out loud. Can't wait to meet Cutter in person.
Congrats and smoochas to the "proud parents"!
- March 10, 2010 at 4:50 PM
Cutter may not know it yet, but he has died and gone to heaven. Doggie heaven is definitely life at 3 Dog Farm...
It's gonna be wonderful for Carl to have a best buddy...probably already is so much fun just to watch them play together.

Yippie! You got a new dog--he's SO cute!!! Let me know how he and Carl (and YOU) are getting along!

How exciting, a blessing for Cutter to get such a great family, and a little plug in the great big hole Maggie left.
Carl's expression is a classic, but I think he'll come around when he realizes he has someone else to pester!

Mishawaka, Ind. You could call it a one stop shop in high tech hospital surgery and scans.
This afternoon, Memorial Hospital held an open house to celebrate the opening of their two new hybrid operating rooms.
A hybrid room will allow patients to undergo more than one procedure in the same room without having to move to different areas of the hospital.
It's easier on the patients who may be in severe pain, reduces the risk of infection, and hopefully shortens the hospital stay.
"A number of specialists can work in one room on one patient giving them the best care possible," said Jane Mitton, Director of Surgical Services at Memorial. "We do it some of that now but this has given us the ability to do it totally high tech and the best equipment around."
Memorial is the first hospital in the area to open the hybrid rooms.
The two rooms will officially open on July 29.

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Police say masked men in dark clothing stopped a jewelry merchant in his car, beat him and stole $2 million worth of diamonds during a brazen Los Angeles street heist.
Police Lt. Alan Hamilton said Friday the victim told investigators he was driving down a well-lighted North Hollywood street late Thursday when his car was blocked by two vehicles and five to six men jumped out.
The men ran up to the merchant's car and smashed a window while struggling for the backpack containing the diamonds. The attackers got back in their vehicles and fled.
Police say the victim followed the thieves but lost them in traffic.
The merchant was treated and released for minor injuries.
No arrests have been made.

Ubuntu 'Natty Narwhal' breaks the surface
If you are looking for something to do before the Royal Wedding gets under way, Canonical has officially released Ubuntu "Natty Narwhal". The company opened up the mirror floodgates at 11:36 am Greenwich Mean Time for Ubuntu 11.04 for desktops, notebooks, and netbooks and its server companion, Ubuntu Server 11.04. Last week, El …
Desktop is surprisingly good
Have been running it on a netbook for a week - it's excellent for small screens.
Annoying as hell for a workstation - but if you are using a big hairy Linux workstation with big screens you are using KDE anyway ;-)
"... if you are using a big hairy Linux workstation with big screens you are using KDE anyway ;-)"
Or XFCE...
Or LXDE...
Or Fluxbox...
Or Openbox...
Or even GNOME 2.3x "classic"
Personally, I think KDE SC 4.x has made a lot of great strides (especially with regard to stability), but it's still a bit too resource-heavy for my tastes.
For now, I'll stick with my Lucid (10.04 LTS) installation, then make a decision as to whether I'm going Unity or XFCE when the next LTS arrives. I may even take another look at KDE SC.
All I know is that my next desktop will NOT be contaminated by Gnome Shell, unless something radically changes.
Besides, with LaunchPad PPAs, I'm not missing out on the latest-greatest; for example, I have installed the "official" Firefox 4 package provided by the Ubuntu Mozilla team PPA, for example. Works great...!
Contaminated with gnome shell you will be
Unity sits on top of gnome shell.
"Unity sits on top of gnome shell." Huh?
No, it does not.
It sits on top of the GNOME library framework, which is provided by GTK+ 2.x and 3.x.
Unity, however, avoids using many of the specific components upon which Gnome Shell relies, like Mutter (the GNOME 3 Window Manager) and Clutter (the JavaScript-like graphics library used by Mutter to render its effects).
Unity 3D relies on Compiz for Window Management, and interacts with Compiz through the Compiz plugin framework. I am not sure what Unity 2D (the version for systems where OpenGL acceleration is not supported) is (or will be) using for its Window Management, but old-school Metacity might be an option.
Not Found
Click on link on the download page and...
The requested URL /11.04/ubuntu-11.04-netbook-i386.iso.torrent was not found on this server.
Not fishing...
I like Ubuntu, but I'm steering clear of this one, mostly because of these issues:
-- Ubuntu Wiki: Natty Narwhal Release Notes:
-- https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NattyNarwhal/ReleaseNotes#Known%20Issues
-- -- The swap partition appears become unusable during some installations (UUID not set). This issue is under investigation. (709363)
-- -- The return_to_partitioning function executes and returns as normal, but seemingly fails to properly clean up after partman-commit and initialize partman. (740903)
-- -- During boot, on the cryptsetup passphrase prompt, every character typed causes a repeat of the prompt. (566818)
-- -- When installing the amd64+mac version, please do not use LVM. Also avoid using multiple linux instances at this time. (745960)
I need 64-bit address space AND the ability to use encrypted logical volumes, so installing an operating system with a broken partitioner and storage volume management system isn't an option for me.
Not to mention that, IMHO, Unity isn't quite ready for "prime time." Probably be OK after two more releases, though...
To be honest,
who outside the Ubuntu fanbois really cares.
The same goes for other OS releases including Windows & OS-X.
Mines the one with a copy of RT-11 on DECtape in the pocket.
wrong website?
You might be on the wrong website mate...
During the meanwhile ...
I'm running the latest version of Slackware, released this last Monday.
Works like Slackware ... In other words, I never even notice the OS unless I'm talking to someone else about it, which is pretty much all I want in an OS.
Virtualbox!! Works a treat!
Ubuntu 11.04 and VirtualBox (VB) and Windows -XP. Dual-boot.
'Native' XP had problem accessing my 3G modem, which is my only connectivity. Worked on install, but when I put all the XP updates (downloaded with same dongle), and rebooted, couldn't get dongle - either (E220 or E160) working, no matter what I tried. In desperation, I tried VB.
Installed Windows - a breeze! Ran XP under VB - worked a treat! Modem accessed via Ubuntu, but connection accessable with XP.
Goddammit, I swear the windows in 'guest mode' is niftier than native. Apart from having to hit the 'guest key' (Right-shift), it's seamless.
Forget Royal Wedding, I'm hosing my ancient T30 to remove native Win-XP completely and go this way. The installation was as simple as calling Elop a ****.
First time in my life-of-messing-with-computers, nothing, bar Nothing has worked as seamlessly as this.
Well done, folks.
(H/W? IBM T30 lappie, 512Meg ram, 30G HDD.)
Well me too...
WinXP in VirtualBox under Ubuntu 10.04. Definitely snappier than my XP Dual Boot native --- but frankly, if it wasn't for some weird quirks of my bank's internet service, I wouldn't have Windows on the machine at al.
Downsides (noticed so far) of using V'Boxed WinXP for anything else: the disk access is pretty slow, and the sound qualty is poor.
While we're offtopic (well, a bit ;)) --- the latest Wine seems excellent. I now have Cool Edit Pro and FastStone Image viewer working just fine in Ubuntu. The former was considered a lost cause under previous Wine versions.
Does suspend and resume work OK on the T30?
I have serious issues with 10.04, with the state of the ATI graphics card not being restored correctly after resume, leading to corrupted screen.
Look forward to it
Tried going Windows-free for a while but had to succumb to the might of Redmond and had to run XP under VirtualBox, so I am looking forward to a non-Royal Wedding day too. Thanks for the info.
T30 resume
Had massive problems with Kubuntu. Default screen res. was something I needed a microscope to see. Tried different res., always ended up with scrambled screen. Found a fix, which was to open a terminal, with "sudo reboot" ready (as root) but not hit return, and size to the left-half of the screen. Change screen res. to what I wanted, (screen scrambled) but before timeout move cursor to where I estimated the terminal was, click and hit return. It worked, a hell of a cluge, but....
I dumbped KDE not just for that, but the flakiness of handling my wifi modem. Forums said use nm-applet, but I decided to go back to 'vanilla' 10.10, thence upgrade to 11.04.
I digressed. Suspend seems to work OK, haven't tried 'hibernate'.
Narwhal sunk
Updated 10.10 to 11.04.
Will not boot.
Luckily, got XP on dual boot.
Never upgrade
I know it generally works with Linux but I've always found it much more reliable to reinstall. Now if anyone knows of a program that will take note of all I have installed in terms of non-base apps and either list package and source or allow for simpler reinstallation that'd be great.
I've had at least one Ubuntu upgrade balls-up (I'm thinking it was a 9 to 10) and similarly for OSX my Snow Leopard upgrade died a death after a while.
Although it's better these days it's still far less effort long run to reinstall unless you have some real bespoke installation that you have a cloned backup of so can justify the upgrade attempt.
Rajah of Dungarpur - This is today's title
HOWTO Reinstall all of your current packages if you do a fresh Ubuntu install
Please also ensure the point made by pepemosca in post #13 on Page 2:
I might add that you need to check on the bottom: "Save full state, not only changes"
We've done the inteligent talk last time
So this time, I'll just say that Unity is rubbish, and Ubuntu must have taken on some designers that failed at Fisher Price. It's a toytown mess, with lots of ideas, all missing the word "good".
Speaking of Toytown, Mr Grouser said it all: "It ought not to be allowed!"
Never fear: First step is to log in to a "Ubuntu Classic" session, and you'll be greeted with the desktop you know and love. Second is to remove that ridiculous global menu app. With a few more tweaks: Voila!
11.04's "killer app"
is definitely Ubuntu Classic
What the hell is it with these UI people? KDE3 was easy to use. KDE4 introduced a whole lot of abstractions that might make sense to UI theoreticians but make no sense to Joe and Jane Punter.
Unity seems like the Ubuntu attempt to to KDE4.
I won't be a BETA tester on this one ! !
Seen a release candidate and read heaps of reviews. I have converted the family from the darkside BUT this new interface is something else.....like something I stepped in .... |;-O>
Xubuntu; Lubuntu even Kubuntu (if pressed) will chosen before unity ! ! I'm even looking at Fedora if this rot continues.
Just in the nick of time!
Otherwise, they would have had to rename it Ubuntu 11.05!
1024 MB required.
Pity it requires a one GB. My test machines are using still relatively expensive DDR-1, and the one that is free is only 512MB.
The great thing about FOSS is choice ...
... and once the semester is over (< 1 week), it'll be time to exercise it. Debian? Fedora? Slack? Maybe even Gentoo, the distro that lured me over from FreeBSD in the first place. Or maybe back to OpenSUSE, which I ditched when Novell had its fling with M$ ... but only if OpenSUSE is sufficiently detached from Novell and Novell's new overlord (can anyone comment?).
Since alpha, all good
I moved over to 11.04 while it was in early alpha but I can't really deal with Unity.
But fortunately you can just put the gnome3 PPA back in and put gnome-shell on (which is what I do).
It's been pretty rock solid for the last couple of months, both the underline kernel, packages and gnome-shell. The Open Source ATI driver finally does 3D out the box without messing about, which is nice (fgrlx always gave the ugly text based boot - Not the end of the world but not impressive when people look over your shoulder).

With the challenges of union elections being similar to other local elected positions, a union campaign website can help voters know more about the candidate and help them win their election!
Simple, affordable pricing
There are NO monthly charges, long-term contracts or hidden costs with Online Candidate. Your site is easily updated through your web browser. With our design customizations, you will NOT need to hire a website designer or programmer to have an attractive, fully-functional website.

Your Online Hub of Support
Here is some important content to include when developing a union candidate or a union organization website:
Home Page: The home page text should change often, but to start, you may want to create a 'letter to voters' announcing your campaign, why you are running and what you hope to accomplish if you win. In time, you can update this text to include new developments or to shift your focus from awareness to support-gathering.
Biography/Resume: Start off with some personal information, such as family, time lived in the area, hobbies, etc. Then take your resume and work it into a short biography. Keep it short and bullet-pointed, but don't simply make it a list of your work history. Work in a few words about what you did in those positions. Electing someone is more than just whether are qualified - voters need to like you, as well.
Issues/Positions: This is the heart of your website content, and the most unique content you will create. Stake your positions against those of your opponent.
Endorsements: Include organizations and direct quotes, where possible. Endorsements can be added throughout your site, particularly where they are relevant to a particular issue.
Use your website to keep in touch with supporters and send voting reminders before your election!
For less than the cost of a mailing, you can have a great-looking website that will help you WIN your election!

Praise from a repeat customerI have set up two campaign websites using Online Candidate and have been extremely happy with the product. I was able to get both sites up in a very short time. It allows you to create very professional sites for very little cost. The software is extremely easy to use, and the support provided by Carol Daley, the owner, was just exceptional. It helps if you know just a little HTML, but you can create a great looking site with absolutely no programming skills. I highly recommend Online Candidate. Howard S. - Read More
Union Web Design Packages
Our Regular Campaign Website Package includes a custom design that reflects your campaign. We create a website header with your campaign colors, logo, background and candidate head shot. We also modify colors, font and background to create a consistent look. Easily update pages, create a poll, integrate forms, add events, create blog posts and more. In addition, you can add event forms, expand your site with more pages, create a multi-level site menu, add multiple user accounts to allow and restrict site administration access to different users. We also include data capture of all submitted forms, allowing you to easily incorporate this information into your marketing efforts.
The Enhanced Campaign Website Package features ALL of the design and functionality of the Regular website package, but also includes the setup of your initial site content. We'll arrange your site text and images for a pleasing design and optimize your content for search engines. After that, it's all in your control.
Our Lite Campaign Website Package is designed for campaigns starting with a tight budget or with a limited campaign time-frame. This package allows you to select from a wide selection of header images, color styles, and font types to create a unique look that works for any campaign (particularly school board, judicial and sheriff). From there, add your site content and go live! It's easily upgradable to the higher packages so you can grow your site with your campaign!
Many of our Lite color schemes have a corresponding brochure print template that you can use for your offline marketing.
Additional options are available when you order your website package. With our Site Setup Option, we can set up your initial website content for you. We'll arrange your site text and images for a pleasing design.
Easy and Painless Setup
You have enough to do getting your campaign off the ground. Why let the creation and design of your political website become a headache? We've streamlined our setup process down to a few simple steps.
- Select your campaign website package and order online or over the phone. After you order, you will be returned to an online form to supply us with basic contact and campaign information. From there, we can start your site setup right away!
- Your website domain is set up in 1-2 business days - or less. You can log in and start building your site when you get your login information. For Regular and Enhanced Packages, if we have your candidate head shot and/or logo, your site design customizations can usually be finished within in that time. While we work on your custom design, you can log in and begin setting up your site content.
- Short on time? We can set up your content! Text and image information must be provided in electronic form. The site setup is performed once with the materials provided. After that, it's all in your control. Order our Enhanced Package or choose as a Website Option when you order your package.
- Go live! Once you are ready to launch, generate your site and go live! Afterwards, you can update, edit and add additional content to your site.
- Upgradable. With a Lite Website Package, you can easily upgrade to a higher package with custom design without losing any of your existing content. The price? Only the difference between the packages!
Pick the package that's right for you, and you'll be on your way with a winning campaign website for your union election!
