LEE COUNTY, Fla.- Lee County has seen its fair share hoarding horrors this year. It's a problem stirring county agencies to develop a Hoarding Task Force, to better address the problem in 2011.
From hundreds of cats left inside a single Lehigh Acres home, to a decaying body, kept inside a room to rot for over a year in Fort Myers... 2010 was a year filled with shocking cases of hoarding in Lee County.
"It's not new, but in this community, at the level that it's been happening, it's bringing us all to the table to come up with some solutions," Stacey Cook-Hawk, of Lee Mental Health said.
The new Hoarding Task Force joins law enforcement with social service programs, pooling the agencies together to better address extreme cases of hoarding in the area.
"Trying to make them pay fines and putting them into court is only going to be a short-term solution to a long-term problem," Adam Leath of Lee County Animal Services said.
Instead, the Task Force wants to focus on treatment. For example, a Cape Coral house was found flooded with dozens of cats in November. Instead of pressing charges, the couple was first offered treatment.
"What you're seeing, the cats, the deleterious condition of the home, all those are symptoms. What we want to do is to get to the root of the problem. And honestly, it's going to be mental health counseling," Leath said.
Experts say responding to hoarding cases caught too late can add up to a costly expense for taxpayers. The Hoarding Task Force hopes through early intervention they can cut costs, all while helping hoarders.
"It typically gets to the point of no return, and then people are forced to accept treatment. We want to figure out, how do we intervene sooner?" Cook-Hawk said.
The Hoarding Task Force's next meeting is scheduled for late January.

text: U.S. Official: Kerry's Syria Red Line a 'Major Goof' Print article Send a Tip by John Nolte 9 Sep 2013 post a comment Monday morning in London, Secretary of State John Kerry apparently went off script with the hypothetical suggestion that the Syrian government could avoid American air strikes if Bashir Assad would turn over all of his chemical weapons within a week. CNN reports that a U.S official called Kerry's unsanctioned red line a "major goof:" A U.S. official called Secretary of State John Kerry's remarks in Britain on Monday a "major goof," saying Kerry "clearly went off script here." The official was referring to Kerry's assertion that President Bashar al-Assad "could turn over every single bit of his chemical weapons" to avoid potential U.S. military action. Unfortunately for the Obama administration, Russian president Vladmir Putin has already taken advantage of Kerry's "major goof" by proposing to his Syrian friends that they accept Kerry's offer. Syria has already said they are open to the idea. The idea here is obviously to complicate things for America and stall for time through diplomacy and inspections in the same way Iran has with its nuclear program. Just for starters, the idea that we can place weapons inspectors in a country currently engaged in a civil war sounds absurd. To clean up its own mess, the administration is obviously trying to put as good of a face on this fiasco as possible. Earlier today, the State Department said they would take a "hard look" at the Putin/Kerry proposal. And in her first public comments about Syria, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton declared Kerry's "major goof" an "important step." As of right now, it looks as though Kerry's blunders are driving American foreign policy in the same way Obama's off-teleprompter remark about a "red line" kicked this whole thing off.

John Deere vehicle stolen from little league baseball field, Orlando police say
Published On: Mar 20 2014 12:52:54 PM EDT
Police are searching for the burglar who they say broke into a little league field and stole a John Deere vehicle.
Orlando police said the break-in occurred at the South Orlando Babe Ruth Baseball and Softball field between 8 p.m. Saturday and 8 p.m. Monday.
According to the police report, the burglar cut the lock on the northwest, exterior gate that contains the four baseball fields and stole a John Deere Gator 4 x 2 utility vehicle.
Police said 12 gallons of gasoline was also stolen.
The utility vehicle is valued at $4,000 and the gasoline is valued at roughly $20.
Police say nothing else appeared to be taken.

The young have a hard time imagining being old. The old have a hard time imagining how time could have flown so quickly.
So every time I hear 20-somethings suggest that they're not likely to live to retirement age or that they have plenty of time ahead of them to save for it, I have to answer: Yes, you are, and, no, you don't.
It boils down to math: life-expectancy math and the magic of compound returns.
Let's take life expectancy first.
At birth, a male's life expectancy in the U.S. is about 75 years, while a female's is nearly 80. Those expectancies inch up over time. The longer you live, in other words, the longer you're expected to go on doing so.
|Remaining life expectancy
Source: Social Security Administration
You might think you're some kind of exception, but odds are you're not. Consider:
- Out of 100,000 live births in the U.S., 79,061 males and 87,051 females live to age 65, according to Social Security actuarial tables. In percentage terms, 79% and 87% are synonymous with "the vast majority."
- By age 75, 60% of men and nearly 73% of women are still alive.
- Sixty percent of women are still alive at 80, while the percentage of still-kicking men drops below half after age 78.
- More than half of women are still alive at age 83.
In short, the odds are very good that you'll survive until traditional retirement age and many years beyond. Social Security will provide only part of the money you're likely to need. The average monthly benefit check for retirees in December 2009 was $1,063 ($1,311 for men, $1,011 for women).
Unless you can live on that, shivering through your last years in a threadbare cardigan, you'll have to figure out a way to set aside some money for your old age.
You don't need $1 million
- 64% of workers 25 and older have less than $50,000 saved for retirement (excluding their homes and any pensions).
- 40% of all workers have less than $10,000 saved.
Fifteen years is a long time to cover without paychecks, and you might need to pay for an even longer period if you retire earlier or live longer. (Use MSN Money's Life Expectancy Calculator to get a customized guess of how long you'll last. If you're in good health with good genes and good habits, you might be surprised.)
The amount you'll need depends on a number of factors besides how long you'll live, including whether your house is paid off, what you'll get from Social Security and pensions, and the return you get on your investments, among other factors. (You can play with MSN Money's Retirement Planner to get some idea of the variables.)
Only two things are certain:
- Even $10,000 is better than nothing.
- The less you have saved, the greater the power even a modest nest egg has to change your living standards.
Start now, today, this minuteRegardless of the sum you aim for, the earlier you start, the easier it will be to achieve.
Let's say you're trying for a $250,000 nest egg. If you start at age 25, you would need to set aside $61 a month to meet your goal of retiring at age 67, assuming 8% average annual returns (a reasonable assumption, given a diversified portfolio, a tax-sheltered account and historic returns).
Wait just 10 years, though, and you would need to put aside more than twice as much: $141 a month. If you delay until you're 45, you'll need to save nearly six times as much -- $349 a month -- to reach your goal. At 55, the monthly tab would be a whopping $1,039.
You can play around with some scenarios using MSN Money's Aim to Save calculator. (You can type in any rate of return you like. And if you'll be doing your saving within a 401k or a traditional individual retirement account, you can type a zero into the tax-bracket field.)
What this illustrates is the effect of compound returns. The money you invest earns returns, and then those returns earn returns, and so on. Even small amounts can grow to whopping sums over time because of this effect.

2.0.21.stable (last update on Apr 16, 2013)
GPLv2 or later
Free Download
8 April 2009
2.0.21 is a security update. Please update your site as soon as possible.
Editor's Note
- This extension requires registration to download.
An AJAX driven Joomla! 1.5.x component to place a contact form anywhere on your web page with any number of custom fields of different types, including attachments.
In the component pack you also get:
- mod_aiContactSafe : a modul to display the contact form in any position of your template
- plg_aiContactSafeForm : a plugin to place the contact form in an article.
- plg_aiContactSafeLink a plugin to place a link to the contact form in an article.
You can install and/or upgrade any of them from the Control Panel of aiContactSafe and see more information about all of them in the articles of algisinfo.com.
Some of the features of aiContactSafe are :
- CAPTCHA with the possibility to specify code words for each language or random strings, easily integrated in your design by settings the colors and background color to use
- profiles ( multiple forms with different custom fields )
- unlimited custom fields of different types ( Textbox, Checkbox, Checkbox list, Combobox, Radio list, Editbox, Date, Email, Email list, Hidden, Separator, Joomla contact, File )
- add a prefix or suffix to the field

- extended configuration capabilities
- MVC architecture
- email templates
- order the fields for each profile
I tried two other contact-with-upload capability extensions before this one and wish I had come to aiContact first. The functionality is superior and the service is excellent. I had an issue that had nothing to do with the extension. My template was loading a script that caused a conflict. In no time I was given a revised version of the extension that solved the problem. And this is a free extension - or at least it was until I voluntarily donated. I did so after this was resolved because I felt a little guilty having a better experience than with some paid extensions. Well worth it.
- It is amazing it is free. (I would happily sign up for a subscription plan)
- This component is very flexible and can be used from simple contact form creation to large questionnaires.
- Different implementing options:
-- Added as module
-- Loaded into articles
-- Plain component display
- Customizable through separate css profiles
- Field unique CSS classes possible and style
- Redirect upon send
- Works very well with problematic servers in regard of sending out mails to admin or the submitter.
I could go on - it's just GREAT!
Thank you so much.
Once more: thank you
Easy setup, lots of options, long to list all the virtues of this extension. For contacts and feedback I will only use this component. I Advise!
Reviews: 7
What it even more incredible is the level of support that you get from the extension's author (Alex Dobrin): fast, precise and on point!
All this for free! (of course you can help him out signing to his subscription plan)
Thanks Alex!
Many thanks for all the hours of free development :-)
It puts all other in the shadow…
And: Alex doesn't ask for donation in penetrant way and doesn't "need" a copyright-link in the front end. Chapeau! That's the way, developers!!!
I think this is the "Joomla-spirit": for the first time I will make a donation. I feel free to do it and I like to do it.

CES 2013: The two craziest-looking computer cases at CES
Summary: In Win's H Frame and D Frame unique chassis will be sold in extremely limited quantities at $399 apiece.
Desktops were mostly an afterthought at CES -- unless you count adding touch capabilities to Windows 8 all-in-one PCs -- and desktop components had an even lower profile at the trade show. So let's give props to chassis maker In Win, which provided a little pizzazz with a pair of very, very different-looking computer cases.
The D Frame, shown above, takes its open-air cues from past experiemental cases like the Antec Skeleton and Lanboy Air, but heads in a Tinkertoy direction. According to Anandtech, the framing pipes (11 in all) are made of aluminum and the clear side panels of glass. It was on display in both red and orange options, and, per Engadget, claims to be "crush-proof and shock-proof." It also has room for three 3.5-inch drive bays, a pair of 2.5-inch drive bays, eight PCI slots, and large power supplies.
If you like a slightly more elegant, though still radical, approach, the H Frame might appeal more. Its fin-like design owes to the diamond-blade cutting of its aluminum plates. Despite the unusual shape, there's space inside the case for three 3.5-inch drives and a 2.5-inch one, among other parts. It also has one clear side panel. The look is reminiscent of the crazy Darwin Machine Hammerhead HMR989 gaming PC released a couple of years back, though slightly less "out there."
Needless to say, these cases won't appeal to everyone -- or nearly anyone, especially since each will cost $399. In Win is wisely limiting the production of each chassis to very small quantities -- 500 of the D Frame and just 100 of the H Frame. Will you be one of the few to build your next PC with one of these? Either way, if you want to see more pictures of the D Frame and H Frame chassis, head to this site.

Cleveland, TN
Cleveland's historic downtown is a great place to go shopping and dine out year round. But in addition to these standard activities, this part of town is also a prime location for enjoying special events and seasonal festivals. One of the most popular events that takes place here is the annual Halloween block party celebration. Though it has evolved to take the form of a safe trick-or-treating event for kids, this celebration has been a tradition in Cleveland for years. The Halloween spirit is particularly important to some Cleveland residents, including those who carry on the legend of "Tall Betsy", the "Official Goblin" of the area.
Both private and public institutions of higher learning can be found in Cleveland, meaning residents have a good range of options if they want to stay put for college or take some classes to advance their careers. The public Cleveland State Community College offers standard two-year community college programs, but students here may also be able to take more advanced classes thanks to the school's partnerships with other institutions. Lee University is one of the largest private universities in Tennessee. This school offers an award-winning, faith-based liberal arts educational program for about 5,000 students each year.

Dr. Boyd has taken excellent care of my mother on several occasions
I had a cyst for the 2nd time in the same place! Dr. Boyd was accurate in her diagnosis and answered lots of questions. She was brief but detailed. She did seemed hurried, but as I kept asking questions, she stayed to answer. Often what is major to us, is normal and routine to Dr's. I belive patients have to take control of their care. I did and she responded. Her nurse was amazing. Kind and gentle. I was very nervous. The staff was great. The follow up was just with the nurse, but that was ok by me. She took the time to answer more questions. I had trouble with my stitches about 2 weeks later, and again both Dr. Boyd and the nurse were great. Thanks to all!
On first visit to Dr. Boyd's office after surgery, she didn't even look at the wound. Felt like the visit was just for the co-pay, very disconcerting.

Best Summer Iconic Food Places?
- s
- sierraandi May 17, 2007 02:56 PM
I want to visit the US food places that are absolutely completely associated with a particular summer travel destination. It's not that it is so much about the quality of the food, but about the chance to eat at really iconic food places.
Here are a list of some of the places I am thinking of including as an idea of what I am looking for:
Miami: Wolfie's Rascal House
New York, Coney Island: Nathan's
New York, Tavern on the Green
SF, Fisherman's Wharf: Alioto's
Please share your favorites from around the world...
For Washington DC, I'd say Ben's Chili Bowl firstly. Second I'd say Old Ebbitt Grill which is so very DC and has had many a political repartee over the many years. And because you said summer, I'm going to go out there and say the roof terrace at the Hotel Washington because you overlook all that IS iconic about DC: the monuments. For OK drinks and not for the food, it's breathtaking.
re: monavano
And just because it would have been near the top of my list were it not for the fire, Market Lunch at Eastern Market in the Capitol Hill area. The bluebucks (blueberry buckwheat pancakes) are iconic and the place beloved. I've met folks from far and wide while waiting in the inevitable line at Market Lunch. Eastern Market was severely damaged by fire 3 weeks ago, and the vendors will be temporarily housed in a transitional structure nearby.

I would recommend hoisting a dozen oysters at the old mill building of A.W. Shucks in Charleston, S.C., over which hangs the Gadsden Flag with the revolutionary motto "don't tread on me", which has an eerie parallel to Tianenmen Square.

A second vote for Shake Shack in NYC. And also for Ted Drew's in St. Louis, which was Danny Meyer's impetus for the Shake Shack shakes.
re: Chef D Quizzing
I have a feeling lines at the Shake Shack are going to grow from long to impossible. I had never heard of it, but in the past couple of weeks it has been featured on two television shows and has garnered multiple mentions on here. I bet the management is loving it.
re: Chef D Quizzing
Definitely Ted Drewes in St Louis - The best concretes bar none - nothing like it on a hot muggy day
Rehoboth Beach, DE - Thrasher's Fries, Nic-O-Boli and a van/choc twist custard with chocolate jimmies from Kohr Bros. (Kohr Bros and Thrasher's can also be found on the Boardwalk in OC, Maryland).
IMO...avoid Aliotos..not good food served bruskly...Tavern on the Green...completely over-rated...
re: chigirl71
Sadly, Jay Leno has made Al's Beef famous. But Johnny's is far better. Located in Elmood Park on North Avenue.
Another Chicago icon is the Pump Room at the Ambassador East Hotel.
And Unos Pizza. Although Lou Malnattis is the best of the bunch - Unos seems to get all the love.
In Baltimore, besides the many crab places that there are often disagreements about, I would say getting a 'snowball' or 'snoball' on just about every other corner in the city.
Not so much summer, but in May, there's the Flower Mart in Baltimore, and the most iconic food is the lemon peppermint stick. (A half lemon, where you suck out the juices by using a special peppermint stick!)
I would agree about Thrasher's fries in Ocean City. And, Grotto's pizza at the Delaware beaches.
re: baltoellen
Although Grotto's is iconic, it is way overpriced and not that good.
Louie's is better for pizza in Rehoboth, IMO.
re: QueenB
Will have to try Louie's next time. I think Grotto's cheese is so unexpectedly good!
re: baltoellen
Louie's is a different style of pizza than Grotto. I guess I just never could accept paying 15 dollars for pizza.
re: QueenB
Doesn't anybody like Nicola's pizza? Better than Grotto, and good enough that I haven't bothered to try Louie's.
re: QueenB
But Grotto's is packed and there must be three or four of them in Rehobeth alone. It is a great place to take a bunch of young kids, they love the pizza and nobody cares how noisy they are there.
re: dinwiddie
Yep, understand that it's packed. I still don't think it's the best pizza in Rehobo, especially for the exorbitant price. My opinion only, of course.
If you like it, and don't mind paying that much, more power to you. Like I said, it's definitely iconic.
re: Amuse Bouches
Maruca's pizza on the Boardwalk in Seaside Park, NJ. I think they've been there at least 50 years. Not the BEST pizza in the area (for that, go to Lenny's in Lavalette), but good, and the carnival atmosphere and smell of the ocean on the Boardwalk makes it fun. For dessert, there is a Kohr's Frozen Custard also on the Boardwalk
new haven, ct has two destinations:
1). frank pepe's pizzeria napoletana - maybe the best pie in the states.
2). louis' lunch - where the hamburger was invented. no ketchup, no mustard. don't ask.

1). galatoire's. it's been around since 1905. still run by the same family. bring jacket/tie.
2). central grocery - because a muffuletta is a thing of beauty.

We just pinched the marketing blad for Thomas Kellers Ad Hoc at Home: Family-Style Recipes, the $50 cookbook Artisan will publish in November. In the introduction, Keller promises instructions for family meals and everyday staples, delicious approachable food, recipes that are doable at home. No immersion circulator required. No complicated garnishes. I promise! So why is Keller going populist? The story is quite touching.
Shortly after we set out to write this book, my father died. I was very lucky to have him just next door to me during the last years of his life and to be able to cook for him. I cooked his last meal, and we shared it together. I remember it happily: his favorite, barbecued chicken with mashed potatoes and braised collard greens. I remember the collard greens especially because I hadnt originally intended to serve them. But when I saw them in the grocery store, they were so big and vivid. I felt compelled to choose them. It was spring, and the first strawberries were in season, so I made strawberry shortcake. It was a good dinner. And now I am unspeakably grateful to have made it that dinner remains important to me. And so does the food we friends and family would have in the following days, brought together in grief, comforted by food.
Included in the blad are Kellers recipes for leek bread pudding, caramelized sea scallops, pineapple upside-down cake, and chocolate-chip cookies hence the fantastic photo you see here.

I have created this alter ego for myself. Why, you ask? Because I NEED her. Lol.
She can solve most of the world's problems with bandaids, milk and cookies, she knows just what to say to make you feel better when you're down. The monster under the bed is terrified of her and nightmares flee at the sound of her steps. She has superhuman powers of persuasion when it comes to broccoli, chores and bedtimes… and yet it's possible to finish your broccoli or chores, or land up in bed with the light out and still know that she loves you.
When I (finally) grow up, I wanna be just like her. ( :

November 21, 2014
MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- The Wisconsin Supreme Court says that Chief Justice Shirley Abrahamson is now the longest serving Supreme Court justice in state history.
The court says Abrahamson broke the record on Wednesday when she marked 36 years, seven months and four days in office. That passes the previous longest tenure of Orsamus Cole, who served from 1855 to 1892.
The 79-year-old Abrahamson joined the court in 1976 and has been chief justice since 1996. She was the first woman to serve on the court. She was re-elected to a 10-year term in 2009.
Abrahamson has written about 500 majority opinions and about 400 dissents.
The calculation on the length of Abrahamson's term was done by Madison attorney and legal historian Joseph Ranney.

Our technologies are becoming more powerful with each passing year, and with an eerie regularity.

Looking to explore this possibility, director Doug Wolens recently put together a fascinating documentary on the subject.

Intel answers Microsoft's Linux 'noise' with MeeGo show
Microsoft and Intel are fighting for the affections of hardware makers as the PC industry tries to answer Apple's iPad. The world's biggest software company used the annual Computex show in Taiwan to release a preview of Windows Embedded Compact 7 — the latest rebranded version of Windows CE, which has been promised on tablets …
Today I talked to an Intel marketing guy
I was quite frank. Jobs is calling the end of the PC. Lots of people are asking for VDI. VDI clients are available for iPad, but not for W7 - no W7 tablets are due out this year. This is a new way of working. We can go about our business without being chained to our desktops.
He (paraphrased): We don't like that. We make a lot of money on desktops.
Me (paraphrased): What if it's not up to you? What if somebody else replaces the desktop without you?
At that point he was interrupted, and somehow we never got back to it.
I love that guy. He gave me very important information, though he doesn't know it. The giant is much easier to kill while he's sleeping.
Jobs the knob
There's as much chance that the end of the PC will come around as there is in the death of books, there's just some things people like to have.
Me and my wife use laptops on a daily basis in the living room, but I still have a hulking quad core 64bit beast tower case PC for all the eye watering stuff I like to do like games and video editing. I know I can do the editing on my laptop but that would also require me to hook up an external drive and a larger screen. There is also some psychology involved in keeping people chained to their desktops that businesses will want to keep.
People and market forces will keep the desktop alive through my lifetime, what OS they will all be mostly running is another story though.
@"Today I talked to an Intel marketing guy"
Funny, but you sound just like a marketing guy yourself.
But yes, portable devices will replace desktop PCs like portable TVs have replaced heavy, oversized stand TVs. Oh hang on .......
"The world's biggest software company..." - that would be Apple now... in case you missed the recent news, Microsoft is now the second-biggest software company...
and don't start saying that Apple is a hardware one because Microsoft also makes Zune, Xbox, joysticks, webcams, keyboards and so on...
Don't confuse size
with value
And don't confuse either...
with market cap. MS is still bigger in terms of size, markets and asset value. Apple just has a big share bubble going at the moment and it'll shrink back somewhat once the new toy smell has faded.
No, you're wrong, and the others who've tried correcting you are too. Apple is a *hardware* company. Microsoft is the biggest *software* company.
to make your point even easier to understand...
Apple is a hardware company that has a nice sideline in software. Microsoft is a software compant with a nice sideline in hardware. It not rocket surgery!
"and don't start saying that Apple is a hardware one because Microsoft also makes Zune, Xbox, joysticks, webcams, keyboards and so on..."
Apple is a hardware company that also sells software.. both theirs and others. Microsoft is a Software company that also sells hardware. Lots of Fanbois make that mistake! lol
Here we go again!
As much as I'd love to see Linux do *something* with itself in the consumer computing market (not counting Google's version of it ala Android) a Windows Embedded Compact 7 (WEC7) OS with the capabilities attributed to it by this article would offer a familiar face and apps to a new genre of computing tool.
These are indeed exciting (and frustrating) times for consumers. More than ever before we need to really think about future-proofing our purchases - even if that means doing without the "brand new" while we wait for the "best of breed" to come into its own. Google's Chrome OS, Android, iPhone 4.0 and now WEC7 and Linux all competing for our love and attention! I say hold onto your money folks - 2011 is going to be an amazing year for tech hounds!
I think you might be right
I'm really warming to Android as a platform, and will likely treat myself to one of those inexpensive Android tablets (with a card slot!), when there's a decent selection to play with out there.
Roll your own?
Well, you could roll your own Linux phone with a GE863-PRO3-64-LI --- at least the product name doesn't sound like they're trying to be cute! (It's a GSM/GPRS "modem" with an ARM CPU, Linux, Python, 64Mb, TCP/IP stack.) I've no connection with them, just spotted them on the web recently and thought it looks an interesting way to make a phone.
Meh, Meego
Installed it on my netbook to try, and it's a shiny, braindead pile of fail. Keeps dropping the network, the video drivers are a lot worse than I had under umbongo.
The interface is wretched, and it's stuffed with tonnes of really terrible default "integrated" clients that cover most protocols really badly, missing loads of features. The default repos are devoid of good alternatives, and it's not immediately obvious how to pop open a terminal to fix things (other than going to virtual tty1, obviously).
So, as a drool-proof vertical platform, it's nowhere near as slick or nice as Android (I'm used to 2.1 with HTC sense, which is surprisingly nice), nor is it any good as a computer interface (I am a debian/umbongo and ex-slackware user, and occasional MacOS and 'doze monkey).
Moreoever, I am disinclined to trust any platform that Nokia have any hand in at all, having being burned by useless crashing series 60 phones, defective software to talk to them, and the unmitigated horror of the Ovi store. Fuck Nokia right in the ear, with bells on.
"Meego" is also an offensively lame name- like something Steve "Uncle Fester" Ballmer might deem "cool". Actually, the faux-quirky cartoons during install, saying "Meego is cool", do look like the sort of corporate dad-dancing branding that brought us "Bing", now I think of it.
Goodness, that was a lot of nerd rage, wasn't it? I should probably have that first coffee off the day. Apologies, everyone.
I haven't encountered MeeGo. But Maemo has a lot to recommend it: a real Linux base that "just works" (meaning no need to look "under the hood"), with a skin designed very nicely for the small screen.
Yeah, Maemo is nice
..and pleasant to use. However, the fact that it was essentially killed as a platform before the N900 even hit the shelves doesn't bode well- given Nokia's total inability to support anything properly recently.
Where's the EU when you REALLY need em?
Microsoft has used a lot of foul tactics to move Linux away from the netbook ... I do not expect the US DOJ to do anything, but the EU must intervene immediately .... well, I guess it is already too late ... :-(
I cannot even find a single netbook with Linux on the high street, how come?
why should the EU second guess the consumer?
this isn't about the EU, unless you think they should prop up Linux distros like they do Opera.
this is about consumers actually wanting something they can use without having to recompile kernels or get scared half to death about warnings that the WiFi driver they are about to install isn't released under the GPL so it may violate your dog
Linux on a server is fine. It doesn't have to be friendly and cute. Linux on the desktop is still an unmitigated disaster because it's driven by engineers on a mission rather than people who need to sell consumer electronics.
the reason the iPad is getting traction is that it's drop dead simple. Turn it on and use it.
WinXP Tablet Edition, Vista with Tablet Pack, Win7 (with integrated Touch) are okay in theory but there are just about zero apps (have you ever tried to use Outlook on a 7" screen without a keyboard?!) so it's dead in the water
Aww Cute! Another user who's clearly not used linux in the last decade. I'm not saying meego's the dog's, but really, wipe the spittle off the monitor and go outside in the sun.
What "foul tactics"?
I keep hearing people make claims about all the nasty stuff that Microsoft is doing to kill Linux on Netbooks, but I've never seen any even vaguely credible evidence.
I'm pretty sure that that's not because Microsoft is a super-secret organization that can keep all details of it's nefarious deeds out of the public eye. I'm pretty sure it's because the manufacturers of these devices can't sell enough of the Linux based devices to make it worth the effort. The license costs for bulk OEM licenses are not that significant compared to the additional support costs.
If the only evidence you can point to that Microsoft engaged in "foul tactics" is other people that don't like Microsoft on principle claiming that Microsoft is engaged in foul tactics, then the EU isn't going to waste it's time and our tax money, pandering to your prejudices.
Linux on Netbooks
*Still* Linux isn't doing itself any favours. I installed the Ubuntu Netbook Remix onto my brand new Asus 1005P - and they still can't get the wi-fi working by default! It's ok for me - I fixed it, but I had to recompile the drivers(!) to do it.
Unless there is a single platform (like the iPad) which everyone buys, I can't imagine MeeGo being any different.
Same old story
I don't know for definite, but with that being a reasonably recent Netbook I'd guess that windows would need a driver disk for the wi-fi. It's the same old story of linux getting the blame because the manufacturers don't release the drivers so some poor sod has to reverse engineer them etc. Not sure on the recompile but I've certainly had to download a .fw file to fix wi-fi on a PC. Windows 7 wouldn't work with it and the manufacturer wouldn't update the driver.
Most things don't work in their entirety out of the box, but of all the (multi hardware) OSes linux comes closest.
What's my point? It is that most people never witness the problems with PCs because the OS is pre-installed. Get your average user to have to install windows on their hardware and they might be similarly peeved that they need to work through a pile of driver disks because things don't "just work". The only one immune to this is Apple because they control the permutations and you and I pay the premium for that.
Re : Same old story
Certainly EEEBuntu installed on my Asus 900 without any probs. Wireless worked perfectly
Brilliant. One of the best things about Linux is that you can get distros specifically designed for your hardware. I've been running Eeebuntu on my 901 for 12 months - flawless.
I think I've just spotted Microsoft's problem
"Microsoft released Windows Embedded Compact 7 preview with a tough message for Linux: Windows will win the heart of PC makers"
Er, shouldn't that say "win the heart of PC customers"? Or are they not important?
@ Paolo Marini
"The world's biggest software company..." - that would be Apple now... in case you missed the recent news, Microsoft is now the second-biggest software company...
Wrong Apple are the biggest tech firm (well according to the odd share prices that's all) they are not the largest 'software' firm.
Netbook with Linux on the high street
Is there a Maplin on your high street?
They used to have the UBISurfer thingy with Linux. Not sure now though. They have several Windows CE devices. Actually I saw one in Sainsburys too for kiddies (CE 5).
http://thistleweb.co.uk/blog/19/12/2009/linux-friendly-companies-uk describes someone shopping for, specifically, a Windows netbook with a rebate for not using the Windows licence. The major high street companies named didn't give very satisfactory answers. An independent computer shop may be a better bet, if only because they're more likely to be selling a job lot of something cheap from China with no processor that you ever heard of.
we just have to adapt
The highly portable tablet will replace the desktop PC and associated keyboard and monitor. But first, human eyes and hands will have to be modified to match the ergonomics of the new platform.
re: what 'foul tactics'?
A while ago, when netbooks first launched, I bought an eee 701 with xandros linux. And its been pretty good, all round - though I got a bit fed up with the original xandros after a while and installed ubuntu instead (asus weren't updating the repositories after the first few months). I was recently in the market for an nvidia ion based netbook, and looked about for a linux based one with absolutely no success. As far as I can see, it is impossible now to buy a linux based laptop or for that matter any linux based PC without jumping through hoops. If there was no cost difference I'd still prefer not to have windows, and I can't be the only consumer in that position. Where is the consumer choice here?
The evidence is pretty strong that microsoft have used their dominant market position to strongarm all the major PC manufacturers to only install windows. Use your eyes, anonymous coward. Try walking down Tottenham Court Rd to buy a PC with anything other than windows on it apart from an apple.
Microsoft still touting its products
Time and time again Microsoft is about the only one touting Microsoft products. If you read carefully you will notice that close Microsoft allies have been publishing a large amount of articles recently that also try to degrade Linux. Why all of a sudden? Because Linux is being adopted more and more, and Microsoft is trying to find ways to keep it at bay. Microsoft has also recently picked up a lot of software patent threats and lawsuits. Google around and you will soon see what is going on. Personally, I would advise only reading articles published by real network admins or reporters that USE the software.

text: On December 29, 1994, at 1456 central standard time, a North American F-51D airplane, N51TK, sustained substantial damage during a forced landing near Round Lake, Illinois. The solo airline transport rated pilot sustained minor injuries. The personal flight originated in Wheeling, Illinois, at 1445 and was conducted under 14 CFR Part 91. A flight plan was not filed and visual meteorological conditions prevailed.During a telephone interview on January 9, 1995, the pilot reported he was climbing through 2,500 feet when "the engine stopped abruptly." He was using fuel from the left tank and immediately switched the fuel selector to the right tank feed position. He placed the mixture in the emergency rich position and checked that the boost pump and magneto switches were on. The engine did not regain power and he conducted an emergency landing in a forest preserve. He said the engine had undergone recent carburetor work and he believed this had resulted in the loss of engine power.Mr. Tim McCarter of Amphib, Inc., reported, during a telephone interview, on January 9, 1995, that the airplane departed Kenosha, Wisconsin about 1305 with about 90 gallons of usable fuel. He said the airplane would burn about 86 gallons per hour during climb and 50 gallons per hour at a low power cruise.A controller at the Palwaukee Airport Air Traffic Control Tower in Wheeling, Illinois, reported that N51TK landed there at 1411 and departed at 1445.Federal Aviation Administration Inspectors who examined the wreckage reported no evidence of preimpact malfunction. The propeller, right wing, and left horizontal stabilizer were sheared from the airplane. The left wing and nose had tears in the skins and compression damage.

November 26, 2014
VICTORVILLE, Calif. (AP) - A homeless man who found a purse containing nearly $1,000 returned it to a needy mother of three - but admits he thought about keeping the cash.
The man, identified by the Victorville Daily Press only as Chris, told the newspaper he has been trying to save $700 to move into an apartment.
He said, "I can't say I was perfect because for a tenth of a second, I thought about taking it."
But he added "it wasn't my money."
Nancy Daniels of Rancho Cucamonga says she offered the man a $50
reward but he turned her down. Daniels says she is now going to be
able to pay her rent because of Chris' honesty.
Daniels had cashed a check from her parents and forgot her purse
on the roof of her car Tuesday in a Target parking lot.

As for your criticisms of it, with respect, they seem absolutely typical of someone who is afraid of change. It's true that SEO may change as a result of the continuous stream of new technology implemented by Google. I for one will embrace the changes that it brings. I always look forward to staying ahead of the game as the game changes. I don't think therefore, (this might change SEO) is a valid criticism.
Google already suggests popular terms so the only reason people may end up searching for the popular terms more is because they ARE what they were actually looking for and with the Instant Google feature enabled the searcher can see this before they finish typing.
All that said, Google Instant is in it's infancy and problems are bound to occur here and there. If Google has some kind of "evil" motive behind this new feature, it's certainly yet to reveal itself.
Google instant is great for people who can't type very good, but for me looking for things on google it just drives me insane. I spent a lot of time trying to target keywords people would think about, but now with google instant people will type something and they will get a list of other options which will take away from some of my potential traffic.
It's pretty cool...When we look at the future of search there are generally three axis these things progress along. Interactions. Comprehensiveness. Understanding. For a lot of the features and a lot of the changes we make, they really only move forward on one axis at a time. Google Instant is interesting because it actually moves the ball forward on all three of those areas. It is a totally new way of interacting with the search engine."
Google Instant is not working in www.google.com.sg , but it works www.google.com
Is this new feature available to all domains or particular domains only?
Seems so, though they rolled out that retarded left-hand sidebar domain by domain, so it's probably slowly cycling over to the other domains as we speak.
I find that google instant helps me pick the better search terms for finding what I want, I'm probably one of the not-so-few people that suffer from the total inability of finding anything worthwhile with google, mostly because I can't pick the right words for what I want.
Google instant on the other hand shows me what I get for typing the wrong words and lets me fix the bad search terms without having to click the search button again and again or having to scroll down the page, I just type words until the site that I want pops out as the top link,
then I do a cool shortcut that I learned thanks to all this: enter the words into google instant until what you want is first, then press the down arrow key, then the left arrow key, no mouse needed! finally! yay!
so it's not the speed of the search, it's the reduced clicking that saves time, for me at least.
p.s. the curiosity factor that poes mentions is not really a bad thing :)
It's called google-fu.Quote:
I'm probably one of the not-so-few people that suffer from the total inability of finding anything worthwhile with google, mostly because I can't pick the right words for what I want.
Not a bad thing, sometimes it can enhance what you're looking for, and find specific terms. Maybe it wouldn't be too good if people were too reliant on it.Quote:
the curiosity factor that poes mentions is not really a bad thing
I do see a potential problem with Instant Google, and this problem lies anywhere beyond the first page. People would prefer simply typing something new and seeing Google do it's magic that possibly going to the 2nd and 3rd pages to see if they can find what they want. To be honest I rarely go beyond page 1. Only if I am super-desperate.
No, the curiosity issue is when you start out searching for one thing, but because you get half-*ssed results as you go, you get distracted by something unrelated to your search and you end up spending hours "encyclopedia surfing" before remembering you were supposed to look up something.Quote:
Not a bad thing, sometimes it can enhance what you're looking for, and find specific terms. Maybe it wouldn't be too good if people were too reliant on it.
As you go through an encyclodpedia or dictionary, you see lots of other interesting words while you try to spell-search your term. The result is you never quite get to your search term.

|QB Cannon Smith aims to deliver on time at Miami
|Written by Admin
|Thursday, 07 August 2008 12:23
He knows that.
No, the reality - fair or not - is that he'll probably always be Cannon Smith, the son of FedEx chairman Fred Smith, one of the richest and most powerful businessmen on the planet. Or Cannon Smith, the kid who got charged with possessing ecstasy and headed to a military academy for a year instead of enrolling at Mississippi as he'd planned. Or Cannon Smith, the guy who presumably got a chance to appear in movies only because of his family's copious wealth.
``He's got to work twice as hard,'' Fred Smith said. ``That goes with the territory. There's a lot of benefits, being my kid. A lot of negatives, too.''
So rarely, if ever, has Cannon Smith just been plain old Cannon Smith.
Until now, that is. At Miami, maybe for the first time, he can feel like everyone else.
``These guys around here, my teammates, none of that is anything to them,'' Smith said. ``I'm just another teammate and another player to them. They treat me like family. It really isn't a distraction and it feels good to just be one of the guys on the team.''
That's all he's ever wanted.
Clearly, there's no special favors at play here - he's facing a battle just to get playing time with the Hurricanes.
Smith, Robert Marve and Jacory Harris are essentially competing for two quarterback spots; because none of them has ever played on the major college level before, Miami intends to declare one the starter and have another one play regularly in an effort to create necessary depth at the position. Marve and Harris both grew up in Florida and were record-setting high school quarterbacks, so most people believe that they'll be the two who take the snaps.
But Miami coach Randy Shannon won't discount Smith's shot.
``I'm not going to leave Cannon out,'' Shannon said. ``He's gotten stronger. He's bulked up since he got here. Cannon's done a great job.''
Even so, Smith might seem like a long shot. His resume, however, suggests he can compete.
ards in a single game.
The legal issues were eventually resolved, and Miami welcomed Smith with open arms.
``He learned a very big lesson there,'' said Fred Smith, who graduated from Yale, won two Purple Hearts in Vietnam and founded FedEx 37 years ago. ``He never ducked the issue. I think in a perverse way, it helped him. Partly because of that, he decided to take the year at Hargrave, which is a very tough environment. It helped him. He did learn a lesson from that and going to a prep school like that made it very easy for him to go to a place like Miami.''
There's one part of his past that Cannon Smith will never shake. The first name, perhaps the most perfect name ever given to a quarterback.
Alas, it's just a nickname, one he got shortly after birth, long before his family knew he'd be blessed with a powerful arm. His given name is Frederick Buchanan Smith, named for his great-grandfather, Capt. James Buchanan Smith, who guided steamships through the South. Buchanan got shortened to Cannon, and six years later, the kid who is the youngest of 10 children started playing football.
``I've heard plenty of plays on words about my name,'' said Cannon Smith, who as a high schooler had a role in the film ``Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants,'' which was released in 2005. ``Hey, it's fun.''
He's heard plenty of plays on words about his father's business, too. The son of the FedEx chairman has to be able to deliver, right?
It's a tired question, one the younger Smith has heard plenty of times over the years, and his father thinks the incessant comparisons only belittle what his son has done on the field.
``I didn't throw a single one of those touchdown passes,'' Fred Smith said. ``I didn't get him selected for the Army All-American game, etc., etc. Cannon loves to play football. He's just a down-to-earth guy, too, and hopefully he gets a shot because, golly, he is a tough guy and he is a player, too.''
Of course, his dad would say that.
Thing is, the guys he's vying for time against say the same.
``I think Cannon's a great quarterback, honestly,'' Marve said. ``He has a lot of the features a lot of people, I don't think, see as much. He's great in the pocket and at the same time he has mobility to get out of the pocket. He makes good decisions for the most part and I think he's a great, great thrower. And he makes plays. If you have a quarterback that makes plays, I always call him a great quarterback.''
Now that's something Cannon Smith doesn't mind being called.
``I feel extremely comfortable here,'' he said. ``The chemistry on this team is incredible. It feels like home.''

Grammy-winning rapper Lil Wayne is sending shockwaves across the Internet today (October 26) after suffering from medical complications aboard a private jet in Texas hours ago.
Details of what reportedly went down Thursday (October 25) surfaced online early this morning.
Lil Wayne made an emergency landing in Texas after suffering seizure-like symptoms on a private jet … TMZ has learned. A source close to Weezy — real name Dwayne Michael Carter, Jr. — tells us, right after the plane touched down … the rapper was transported to a local hospital to get treatment on Thursday afternoon. We're told Wayne was at the hospital for several hours … he checked out around 6 PM local time. It's unclear if doctors made an exact diagnosis — but we're told Wayne is "doing better." (MTV)
Earlier this year, Weezy F. Baby spoke on suffering a nasty skateboarding injury.
Lil Wayne has always put his music first, but Weezy's passion for his skateboard may come in a close second. Tunechi was pretty bummed when he learned he had to stay off the ramps for a week after injuring his shoulder in a skateboarding accident at his Miami home. "Unfortunately I was skating and I tried to do an ollie down one of my banks and I tailed out at the end of it," Weezy said in a clip from DJ Scoob Doo's upcoming "The Nino Brown Story" DVD that was given exclusively to MTV News. "I ain't worried about the pain, it hurts like hell but the worst thing is that I couldn't really skate," he said. "I always get injured but I never get an injury where I can't get back on the board. Remember we had the nine stitches? That didn't mean we couldn't skate the next day, so we skated the next day." (MTV)
Last fall, Wayne discussed a separate skateboarding crash he experienced.
"It wasn't that bad. It wasn't. It was real quick. Happened, and I was stitched up and went about my way. I told everybody. Everybody was like, "Oh, my God. You got nine stitches. You busted your head?" I was like, honestly, I fell so much harder in other places. Like, I wish you were there to see me really bust it. I busted my ass before, like, literally, this is nothing. These stitches are like–this is the first time I have seen blood shed, but I've fallen much harder than that." (GQ)
In late August 2011, Wayne made headlines for his skating mishap.
Lil Wayne needed 9 stitches to close a bloody wound over his left eye last night … after crashing HARD at a skateboard park in St. Louis. Weezy was treated at a local hospital — and one witness told a local TV station the rapper was accompanied by several members of his entourage. According to the hospital, Wayne was treated and released. (TMZ)


text: Carney: Biden's Smirk 'Passion and Joy,' Not Condescension Print article Send a Tip by Tony Lee 12 Oct 2012 post a comment White House press secretary Jay Carney found nothing wrong with Vice President Joe Biden's laughs, smirks, giggles, and guffaws while discussing some of the most important -- and somber -- foreign and domestic policy issues during Thursday night's vice presidential debate with Paul Ryan. Carney said Biden's laughter represented someone who brings an "enormous amount of passion and joy" to his job. He continued: The person I saw up there last night is somebody who is absolutely passionate about fighting for and defending the middle class... and who comes to his job -- this many years in to serving his country in the Senate and now to the White House -- with an enormous amount of passion and joy. Biden rubbed many viewers the wrong way by laughing off nearly every issue put on the table during Thursday night's debate with Paul Ryan. Biden smirked while contradicting State Department officials and throwing the U.S. intelligence community under the bus by claiming the administration never heard U.S. interests in Libya needed more security. Biden grinned when discussing Iran's nuclear threat and guffawed while talking about America's struggling economy. Even progressive journalists like Tom Brokaw said Biden should not have been laughing while discussing a potential nuclear war that could break out in the Middle East. But Carney doubled down: As someone who worked with the vice president for two years and traveled with him around the country and the world, I took extreme pleasure in watching the debate last night because of the way that he demonstrated his passion and his wisdom and the joy that he brings to the job of serving the American people as vice president. Carney also said Biden was joyous in attacking Paul Ryan on Medicare, the stimulus, and entitlements, even though the Obama administration does not have serious plans to address any of these issues except to propose more government spending while the country goes further into debt. When pressed by reporters about whether some Americans found Biden's antics to be condescending, though, Carney was not quite so defensive. "I think it is for the American people to decide," he responded.

Hey guys,
I tried the chin strap, and that just doesnt work for me. What kind of tape do you use to tape your mouth shut?? I need some suggestions so I can give that a shot and see if it works!!! :) thanks!

What are They Singing about? Musicians sometimes Know the Past

Popular music often addresses the issues of today. Yet, some songs tell the story of past historical events that correspond to primary source documents from that time period.

He was taken to UC Davis Medical Center and his condition is unknown.

I count myself lucky that I get to be my own boss, schedule my own time and do something I'm passionate about. Ten years ago, I left my old life behind and started a business helping others do the same.
Here's the short version: I started some large online communities that help people live better than they ever have before. I've also written some books and I own a pharmaceutical marketing company as well. It's part inspiration, part science, part owning your own stuff, and a whole lot of 'let's get it done…' It's a way of living I try to instill in my kids without being a freak about it… They're my world, even if they don't get to be in it 24/7.
Exercise and fitness are important to me too. Nothing clears the mind like hitting the weight room or going for a run. But I'm definitely not "that guy" at the gym. I'm equally prone to skipping the work out, calling up a couple friends, and checking out live shows, new movies etc. And I'll never turn down the chance to try a new restaurant or some crazy dish I've never heard of. I'm somewhat of a foodie and and I like to eat healthy, but I'm not hardcore about it or anything. If I'm in the mood, I'll happily snag a greasy slice of NY pie.

Sometimes it is difficult to choose from the four options given, but there is usually one that fits better than the rest, or at least one that you could see yourself as more so than the others. If you're still unsure, try asking someone who knows you well, such as a parent or sibling. They can give clarity on areas of your personality that you may not notice.

Marshall Gulch Picnic Area is located in the forest south of Summerhaven, on the upper slopes of Mt. Lemmon. Large outcrops of granitic rock, almost white against the background of a pine needle-covered forest floor, are crisscrossed with dikes of even whiter pegmatite. Sabino Creek wanders through the picnic area as it begins its drop into the upper reaches of Sabino Canyon, one of the most beautiful canyons in the Southwest. With all that scenery conveniently close-by, a good way to add spice to your lunch is to hike along one of the trails that start at this picnic area. Both Marshall Gulch Trail and the Aspen Trail provide access from the picnic area to the Santa Catalina Natural Area, where they connect to a broader network of trails on the southwestern slopes and canyons of the mountain range. Accessible to persons with disabilities. A large area of Pusch Ridge Wilderness is closed to dogs for the protection of desert bighorn sheep. Check with the Santa Catalina Ranger District for more information.
