Add items to Ubuntu 12.04 Unity Launcher (quicklaunch)
The recent upgrade to Ubuntu 12.04 Precise Pangolin left me somewhat hanging when it comes to creating launchers on the desktop, and also in the Unity Launcher (also called quicklaunch in some places) for Zend Studio and PHPStorm. In Gnome prior to Unity in Ubuntu it was easy to right click the desktop and select Create Launcher to create icons on the desktop to launch applications or scripts, but in 12.04 that options is gone. So here is how I solved some of the issues.
I will cover adding Eclipse to the launcher, adding Zend Studio to the launcher, and PHPStorm to the launcher.
Method 1 (easiest)
For Netbeans and Eclipse based editors like Zend Studio or Aptana it is not too bad. I created a {name}.desktop files for each one and put it in the /home/{username}/.local/share/applications/ directory. Here is how I created a zendstudio.desktop file:
Note: If you want this option to be available for all users you can alternatively create the file in the /usr/share/applications/ directory, but that requires superuser permissions.
[Desktop Entry] Version=1.0 Name=Zend Studio Comment=PHP IDE for PHP development Type=Application Categories=Development;IDE; Exec=/home/{username}/Zend/ZendStudio/ZendStudio Terminal=false StartupNotify=true Icon=/home/{username}/Zend/ZendStudio/icon.xpm Name[en_US]=Zend Studio |
After creating the file above I rebooted. Following the reboot I was able to click the Unity Dash Home button, type "Zend" in the search field, then drag and drop the Zend Studio icon to the launcher where I wanted it to be. Now the application stays in the Unity Launcher.
For PHPStorm see method 3 below.
Method 2
Another method I found was to install the 'gnome-panel' package. (Actually it was already installed on my system for some reason.)
sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends gnome-panel |
With the gnome-panel I was now able to create a launcher on the desktop using the command below.
gnome-desktop-item-edit ~/Desktop/ --create-new |
In the create launcher dialog I filled it out as follows:
Type: Application
Name: PhpStorm
Command: /bin/bash /home/username/PhpStorm/PhpStorm-117.257/bin/phpstorm.sh
NOTE: You could use /bin/sh or whatever shell you use. I use bash so that is why I put /bin/bash.
To create a shortcut in the Unity Launcher I double clicked the new desktop launcher I created above. (NOTE: If you start PHPStorm by executing the phpstorm.sh you do not get any options at all when right clicking the icon in the Unity Launcher.) Then when PHPStorm was running I was then able to right click on the icon in the Unity Launcher and selected "Lock to Launcher". Voila! Now I have phpstorm on the Unity Launcher.
Method 3
This option is built right into PHPStorm. The wonderful people at JetBrains created a handy item in Tools to automatically create a menu item for you. Simply click on Tools->Create Desktop entry…and now you can Lock to Launcher the next time you run it. Start the JetBrains PhpStorm IDE from the Unity Dash you can then right click on the icon that shows up in the Unity Launcher and select "Lock to Launcher". The icon now stays there, even after a reboot/logout.
Method 4
See comment to this post below by Shinybird on using Ubuntu Tweak. (Not sure if it works, but it sounds good.)
Method 1 works great! I used it to creat a shortcut for Aptana Studio 3. -Ubuntu 12.04

I used Method #2 in Ubuntu 12.04. Floppy mounted and launcher successfully created. Worked well. Thank you so much for this solution.

1) Install "Ubuntu Tweak" and launch it (find Ubuntu Tweak here http://ubuntu-tweak.com/)
2) Select "Admins" tab, click on the "Scripts" from the Personal category
3) You will see 2 columns Enabled Scripts and Disabled Scripts
4) Find "Create Launcher…" in the Disabled Scripts column and drag it to Enabled Scripts column under nautilus-scripts
5) Go to the folder where you have the file to be added to the launcher and right click anywhere on the folder and select Scripts -> Create Launcher… from the context menu
6) Create Launcher dialog box pops up. Give a name, Browse for the file, Add an icon and comment if you need. The launcher is created in the current folder
7) Drag the launcher to the Unity Launcher and you are doneIf the script doesn't show up in the context menu restart Nautilus (File manager) using the following command
nautilus -q

The method using Ubuntu-Tweak worked perfectly. Many, many thanks!
Ubuntu-Tweak worked like a charm!
Install it viasudo dpkg -i ./path/to/ubuntu-tweak-installer.deb
and to avoid crashes on startup, check for required dependencies with
sudo apt-get install -f
Also check to have gnome-panel installed, or the "Create Launcher…" script won't run anyway.
sudo apt-get install gnome-panel
Ubuntu tweak do the job perfectly!

method 2 worked for me
I wanted a link to CUPS printing admin through FireFox
the command line is
firefox localhost:631\adminThank you
May 31st, 2012 -
Excellent work. Thank you. I used method 2.
June 1st, 2012 -
When selecting Create Launcher the dialog box does NOT pop up.
June 19th, 2012 -
Works fine.
Method 2 Cheeeerrrrrrrrssssssss
Ubuntu-Tweak has solved all those niggly head-scratchers about Ubuntu configuration for me, not just making launcher icons! Thanks for the tip! Miles better than Compiz for twiddling with Unity.
July 9th, 2012 -
Method #2 worked nice for me…Thank you so much! Cheers from Italy
Method 1 worked for Eclipse Juno for me, only thing I had to do was right click on the eclipse.desktop file and go to properties and check the Allow Executing file as program under the permissions tab before it would work when double clicking the desktop file. Thanks
July 10th, 2012 -
Method #4 , excellent.
Because i need to execute phpStorm as root i use this command for launcher:
gksudo ./phpstorm.sh
and then gnome show me a little popup for input the root password before to execute the file
What a nightmare. I have used the information gleaned to write a info page for Commonist on Wikimedia. Please feel free to edit if I have blown it.

I do not understand why Ubuntu is trying to make use of their distribution difficult for users. If I want an icon on my desktop, I should be able to put it there with ease. Limiting user functionality does not make users happy. This does not make me want to continue using Ubuntu.

July 25th, 2012 -
Hey, thanks for a nice how-to!
As I was struggling with PhpStorm, I've tried method #2 first, and it created the desktop icon, but I still could not pin it to the launcher (I'm using Gnome 3 instead of Unity). But method #3 worked like a charm. And then I was wondering – why is it below #2?.. Try #3 first and if that fails (or phpStorm is older), only then move on to #2.

Easing my way into Precise & setting up launcher for claws-mail. Have found that .desktop file in ~/.local/share/applications/ (not 'local/applications/') overrides one in usr/share/applications.

hi, thank you so much, #2 it worked !

Ubuntu Tweak method works but my question is how to get the icon OFF the desktop and ON the launcher? As of now, I have the icon in the launcher but if I send the desktop icon to the trash, the launcher icon follows. I don't want my desktop cluttered with the same shortcuts as the launcher. Is this possible?
August 5th, 2012 -
Tweak looks good. Can't see any problem with it other than the fact that it is not working.
Create launcher…does not do anything on a new laptop with 12.04. Creating launchers is a bit like rockets science when using Unity.
August 7th, 2012 -
This is why I don't like Unity. Things I could 'just do' in Gnome 2, because it was simply obvious how to do them, now require me to go searching google to figure out.
I thought Unity was supposed to easier to use. So far it has not been the case.
Back in the days when I switched from Mac to Ubuntu with Gnome 2, I found it instantly easy to use. Anything I wanted to do seemed intuitive. With Unity this simply is not the case.
Come on now, creating a launcher should be easy, not something I have to hack some files with a text-editor for.
I guess Unity will get better (one can hope but removing things like 'Create launcher' from 12.04 doesn't seem like thats going the right direction.
Anyway, thanks for your post. Very helpful
August 13th, 2012 -
used method and it worked nicely!! thanks!
August 31st, 2012 -
Method #2 does not work for me.
It creates an icon on the desktop which I can edit. But dragging it into the icon bar (or whatever it's called) it loses it's icon.
September 4th, 2012 -
Just what I needed, thanks for the post!

You can create a launcher (also edit existing one) for any application via Main Menu in a GUI taste.
1. Type main menu in the Dash, then launch it,
2. select a category from the Menus tab on the left i.e Programming (if it's not there expand the Applications item by clicking on it),
3. then click on Add Item from the right. Create launcher window will pop-up.
The rest of it is self-explanatory.

This method worked for me to add Terminal and Komodo IDE.
After launching the program for example via command line, then I right click on the icon in the launcher and "lock to launcher"
September 18th, 2012 -
Used method #4, Ubuntu-Tweak. Worked perfectly, and Ubuntu Tweak is a very handy tool
September 23rd, 2012 -
#1 works for me with PhpStorm. But I created .desktop file in '/home/user_home/.local/share/applications', instead of creating it in '/usr/share…'.
*And gave +x (executable) permission to the .desktop file. That's it!!!
Thanks a lot.
If method #4 did not produce a Dialog Box as mentioned by Jeremy, you probably don't have gnome-panel installed:
sudo apt-get install gnome-panel
Method #4 worked perfectly for me after that.
October 5th, 2012 -
Thank you. Very helpful.
October 13th, 2012 -
I found a much easier method quite by accident. Open the program you wish to have a launcher for. Then minimize it; it gets minimized on the launcher. If you right-click that icon, it gives an option 'lock to launcher'. Then even when you close the program, the launcher stays.

I have a shortcut in my home folder, and dragging it to the Unity launcher works fine.

For most, though not all, apps, you can start the app manually, then right click on its "running" icon in the launchbar and choose "Lock to Launcher".
This works for me about 90% of the time, the exception being oddball apps that are not installed through the registry (ie. compiled from source or pre-compiled binaries)
Wow, using Ubuntu Tweaks Method work like a charm! Thank you!

Thank you for your post… it is a problem adding simple .sh scripts to the Unity dash.
Have a nice day,
Fabio -
Just to clarify, methods #2 and #4 are the same. Ubuntu tweak uses the same command in his scripts to create the Quicklaunch!
February 28th, 2013 -
[...] I had to google and found a nice post, which explains how to add Shortcuts to the launcher. I don't like all the options where you [...]
Pretty great post. I just stumbled upon your blog and wanted to say that I've really loved surfing around your blog posts. In any case I'll be subscribing on your feed
and I'm hoping you write again soon! -
Ubuntu tweak did the job. Fast and clean!
July 30th, 2013 -
Thanx to your tutorial I managed to add aptana studio on my launchbar. Thank you very much
August 2nd, 2013 -
Thanks, this worked very well for Freeplane, was able to "lock to launcher" using method #2. Method #1 didn't work for me. Good useful list!
August 12th, 2013 -
The drag and drop also works. click the ubuntu icon on the top of launcher ,type programme name when the icon appears just drag it to the quicklaunch bar . so simple and easy
Method 1 works great! I used it to creat a shortcut for Sublime Text 2. -Ubuntu 12.04
August 24th, 2013 -
An even simpler way to do it is follows:
1. In dash, find your program.
2. Once the program icon appears in dash, just drag it and drop it into the side bar.
3. It just statys there for later use just as expected.Thanks

thank you very much i was looking for this all over!
December 22nd, 2013 -
I tried #2 first. The PhPStorm pictogram is on my desktop but does not open.
Then tried the Tweaker option. Got stuck stuck at 5). The file I want to a make a desktop launcher for is in the wine file manager. (is silly program called Sumatra) Right clicking on it doesnt give any option. Other files in the home folder though do give the ´create launch' option.
Soooooo… what am I doing wrong? If anyone would be so kind to offer some assistence…
(btw this is my first day using ubuntu, i know absolutely nothing. Finding the wine file manager was already huge achievement)
February 5th, 2014 -
I wanted to add the firefox, which I manually installed to the launcher to all users and this helped me to get the idea and just did the following#cd /usr/share/applications/
#gnome-desktop-item-edit ./ –create-new

Asus VW266H review
26in screen size, 1,920x1,200 resolution, DVI: yes, VGA: yes, HDMI:
The Asus VW266H is a 26in screen with a 1,920x1,200 resolution, which will play Full HD (1,920x1,080) video in all its glory with room to spare. The extra vertical room is useful for reading web pages and long documents. Unusually for a PC monitor it has a component video input, as well as VGA, DVI-D and HDMI inputs. There are also stereo phono audio inputs and a coaxial S/PDIF output.
Asus claims that the digital output offers customers the option of routing audio through an AV amplifier, "if for example they want to utilise their monitor as part of a home theatre solution, such as in a bedroom or somewhere where space is limited for a large TV". However, we don't see it being a great advantage, as most people will take the audio output from their PC rather than routing it to the monitor first, via HDMI.
The menu system is reasonably clear, although by default a lot of options are greyed out and almost impossible to see due to the white text on a light grey background. The first screen includes a number of preset modes, and you can access advanced options, such as saturation, skin tone adjustment and dynamic contrast only if you choose a preset other than Standard. While each of the presets can be fine-tuned, we found that Standard mode had the most natural and realistic colours.
Indivudial colours can be tweaked although by default they are set to 100, which makes everything look over-saturated. The Standard setting left a blue cast in images, so we set red and green to 80 and blue to 65, which produced a more balanced tone. The VW266H doesn't have LED backlighting, and was neither as bright as LED displays we've seen recently, nor as evenly lit.
A panel at the rear of the case detaches to reveal VESA mounting points for wall mounting, but you'll need to a sturdy mount as the VW266H is very heavy. The round base has an etched design that will collect dust over time, while the glossy black bezel and the silver stripe underneath the screen look a bit dated.
The inclusion of component video input could be useful to some, but given that the VW266H's image quality isn't as good as Iiyama's ProLite E2710HDSD-1, which is larger and cheaper, we can't recommend it.

Few people actually sit down for an interview with a tax preparer, outside of "Here's my last return. Do you think you could handle it?" Even if you want someone to simply put you out of your misery and do your return before your head explodes, you will want to go a little bit deeper. Remember, too, that the reason most tax preparers don't face interview questions is that the customer comes in around tax time with an immediate problem. The best time to be shopping for a tax preparer is right after the close of tax season, around the time you are thinking, "I never want to go through the pain of filing on my own ever again." That way, you can contact potential advisors early and take the time to get complete information. Here are the questions you should ask:
Your First Meeting with a Tax Advisor
Here are the questions you will want to answer as you go about selecting and working with a financial planner. How long have you been preparing tax returns? Tax law is always changing, but experience counts for something. Think back to the first time you faced any tax form on your own, and you'll understand why you don't want to be any preparer's test drive into a new area of the tax code. Looking at my return from last year, how do I compare to your average client? Am I more or less complex, or about the same? Bring previous tax returns to an initial interview so that the advisor gets an idea of what is involved and can accurately forecast a cost. By asking how you compare to a typical client, you should find out what concerns the advisor might have in preparing your returns. ("Most of my clients don't have self-employment income [or fill-in-the-blank unique need]" is a big red flag.) Get the advisor to describe his or her average client, using specifics of age, family situation, average income, and so on. His idea of "average" may come from the paperworkâ

Michelle Obama To Make Nashville TV Cameo
Michelle Obama is to make a cameo appearance in country music drama series Nashville next month.
The First Lady will star in an episode called 'All Or Nothing With Me', which is set at Fort Campbell, a US Army base near Kentucky, Tennessee.
Airing on ABC on May 7, the episode will see Connie Briton's character Rayna James rope in Mrs Obama to host a charity concert.
It is not the first time the First Lady has graced TV screens in America.
She featured on Rachael Ray's cookery show earlier this year and has also appeared in two series of weight-loss reality show The Biggest Loser.
Earlier this year, she joined Sesame Street characters Elmo and Rosita to promote a White House healthy eating campaign.
Nashville, which also stars Hayden Panettiere, Clare Bowen and Chris Carmack, is nearing the end of its second season in the US.

Professor Peter Dale Scott
Peter Dale Scott, professor emeritus at UC Berkeley and one of the most esteemed researchers of the murky JFK assassination and CIA involvement in cocaine trafficking, recently had his Facebook account inactivated, along with a eighteen other activists who either challenged current US gun control initiatives or the the official version of events at Sandy Hook Elementary School (see * below for full list). After this evoked howls of protest from fellow activists, I'm happy to report Professor Scott's Facebook account has been restored.
It didn't occur to me to question that Adam Lanzo was the sole "lone nut" gunman at Sandy Hook Elementary School until I learned about the blatant Facebook and Twitter censorship of members who challenged the official story. After doing a little research I discovered that Jim Fetzer, another former academic and respected assassination researcher, has written quite comprehensively regarding the blatant inconsistencies and anomalies in the narrative Newtown police have presented to the public. As Fetzer stresses in many of the articles, it's clear the real enemy here is the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), not the National Rifle Association (NRA).
"Clare's" blog at http://youcanknowsometimes.blogspot.ca/ provides the most comprehensive and well documented list of Sandy Hook inconsistencies and anomalies. After looking at the massive amount of information she has amassed, I agree with Fetzer: the evidence doesn't add up.
Fetzer's co-authored his most recent (December 28th) article Sandy Hook: Huge Hoax and Anti-Gun "Psy-Op" with Dennis Cimino, a former US Navy electronic systems troubleshooter. The article briefly summarizes many of the inconsistencies in the official narrative. First we are told the mother was a former teacher and Adma Lanzo a former student at Sandy Hook – then we learn neither had any prior link with the school. We are told the principal called the local paper about the shooting – then it comes out she was one of the first victims killed. The police immediately determine there is only one shooter. Yet police radio reports refer to a second suspect being apprehended at the scene and a police helicopter video shows yet a third suspect being tracked in the woods. The article goes on to cite many other embarrassing mistakes that the police have been compelled to correct.
Fetzer also authored a much more controversial article, Did Mossad death squads slaughter American children at Sandy Hook?, in Veterans Today. It seems to have been written in response to an unfortunate headline the Iranian news outlet Press TV gave an earlier article Mossad death squads slaughtered American children at Sandy Hook. The Veterans Today article is much more detailed and carefully documented. It cites a substantial amount evidence suggesting the Obama administration is preparing for a massive civil unrest scenario in the US
Among other evidence Fetzer cites (aside from the stuff we already know about, like suspension of habeas corpus and most of the Bill of Rights and Obama's executive order granting him the right to summarily execute American citizens without due process of law) are the 300+ FEMA camps that have been established, the 30,000 drones Congress has authorized for domestic surveillance and the recent acquisition by the Department of Homeland Security of more than 1.5 billion rounds of .40 caliber hollow-point ammunition (which is not even permissible in warfare under the Geneva Conventions – see Fed explanation of hollow point bullets raises more questions).
Since DHS doesn't conduct operations abroad, Fetzer argues the hollow points must have been acquired for domestic consumption. More over with the recent determination by the US Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs (3 October 2012) that the US faces no current on ongoing domestic terrorist threat, he reasons they are intended for use against Americans.
His argument that the Mossad was involved in the Sandy Hook massacre, on the other hand, seems a little far-fetched based on the limited evidence. At the moment all he has to go on is evidence of Mossad involvement in similar false flag psy-ops operations. For example 911 (which Ryan Dawson summarizes quite eloquently in War of Deception)
And the attacks on the Benghazi embassy in Libya resulting in Ambassador Stevens' murder. (See Counterpsyops.com]
That's not to say conclusive evidence won't be forthcoming over time. At the very least it's troubling that Facebook (presumably at the behest of US intelligence) is trying to purge the accounts of bloggers challenging gun control initiatives or presenting an alternative version of the Sandy Hook massacre.

I'm going to be brutally honest with you here Dr. The American people do not deserve to have second amendment rights. I consider myself, and many others consider me, an expert with firearms. And the first thing I can tell you about them is you do not put them in the hands of an idiot (unless of course you are an intelligence operative looking to confiscate the guns in either America or Australia). Do not worry yourself over this Dr. I can assure you that the people they truly have to worry about neither belong to the NRA nor would they ever consider owning a registered fire arm. In actuality they are making the worst tactical mistake possible. I am almost in awe of their stupidity. The only people they will be disarming are the tea baggers and the FOX and CNN zombies. The very people who would bear arms against us dirty commie Satanists. They will be disarming their own ally's. Thank you very much Mr. "Intelligence" operative! I know none of you can fight your way out of a wet paper bag but I have to admit those fanatical Christian hillbilly's did scare me a bit. They have never been defeated in battle where as you are only good at shooting woman and children in the back preferably with robots too.
We must create a new Sparta with a new religion to go along with it Dr. It was the Spartans that put a stop to the excess's of the Athenian merchants and as the intellectual you are you must know that history always repeats itself. I have already written the book Dr. and believe me it will be published. Remember one thing even in the times of the most dire wars for survival the Spartans never allowed the helots to be armed.
Here's a link you might be interested in: http://members.iimetro.com.au/~hubbca/port_arthur.htm
Hopefully people smarter than I, can start freebook or something. I'm sure Richard Stallman should be involved, haha.
This thing reminds me of two quotes (one because I hadn't heard any hue and cry about Facebook censorship prior to this, and one because I just haven't seen it respected on the Internet at all).
1) "First they came for the communists,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a communist.
Then they came for the socialists,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a trade unionist.
Then they came for the jews,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a Jew.
Then they came for the catholics,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a catholic.
Then they came for me,
and there was no one left to speak for me."
2) "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it."

Action Alert: Tell the FDA: Don't Irradiate My Veggies!
The FDA has proposed a new rule under the 2010 Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA), one aimed at preventing foodborne illnesses. One of the ways for producers of fruits and vegetables to avoid having to comply with the new rule would be to irradiate their products.
The FDA would have us believe that irradiation is perfectly safe. Yet research has revealed a wide range of problems in animals that ate irradiated food, including premature death, a rare form of cancer, reproductive dysfunction, chromosomal abnormalities, liver damage, low weight gain and vitamin deficiencies.
Take action today! Tell the FDA: Don't irradiate my veggies!

Okay, disclaimer: I didn't read the actual issue, so for those who believe I have no place to make comments, please just ignore me.
That said… I can't be the only person thinking that these six panels are worth more than the entire first issue of the re-launched Catwoman, can I? I suspect not.
They're both poorly done and neither is entertaining.
No offense to the artists on the title now, but Mr. Hawthorne should be drawing Catwoman—in his commercial work style, not this "tosh", obviously.

I thought college would be a bastion of spirited intellectualism, that there would be so many more people like me, that I would love my classes. There would be vibrant lectures and debates, I would think deeply about hard issues every day, I would go to art shows and concerts and plays, I would play music, write music, sing music, become a poet. Would fall in love with so many girls, would have a close circle of deep, civically-minded, good-natured friends. Would have a beautiful girlfriend and discuss queer theory with whomever came along. Maybe it would be hard to find my major, but it would be because there were so many staggeringly fabulous options. My roommate and I would be close, my a capella group would be energetically-performing and musically literate, my house would be another family.
It didn't quite work out like that.
My circle of friends (half of which I'm close to, the other half of whom I hang with because my friends do), is shattering do to ridiculous drama over who called who a ho or a liar or a bitch. I haven't experienced this much ridiculosity ever, maybe a bit in high school. My friends from home say that's what I get for going to a women's school, but I feel a bit foolish now. I just think these girls are mean and stupid. I know there must be some cool girls on campus, but the general student body here is either preppy or academically driven or jaded--no passionate intellectuals or world-savers here, no one who wants to change the world or think about things. My actual friends are sweet, but I don't philosophize with them at all. I feel comfortable with them, and they're great for laid-back joking around, but I need something deeper! My ex and I had that somewhat, but I can't really be friends with her--she's too unstable.
My house is also petty and dramatic! When we had house elections, and I was running, some girls totally bitched me out for interrupting their perfect schemes of which of their friends would get what positions. I decided to stay at my house next year before all this ridiculosity erupted, and now I want to leave.
Classes are not stimulating. I don't want to major in anything I took this year. I'm very busy, but I don't like my schoolwork much. My mind is not being stretched. I thought the humanities and social sciences would make me confront deep issues, but the truth is they are very easy to bullshit. I'm not interested enough to think about the issues I'm presented with, but the thought that these are just BS classes makes me so sad.
I'm directionless, on the road to pennilessness, and have met noone like minded. I have two crushes, one of whom is straight and the other of whom is taken, both of whom I avoid. There is no one else I've met that I'd consider dating really. The first year queers are very unstable. I am picky. I thought I'd have lost my virginity by now, and I probably could have, but to me sexual stuff has greater significance, especially if it's a first time. I don't want my first time to be meaningless, and I don't really know how to pull strings to get a fuck buddy or to sleep around, if I wanted that. I don't want to get mired in that, but I'm tired of being inexperienced. My friends say I'm a sloppy kisser, but I don't know how to change it! Probably the main way would be to get experience, but... oy.
I thought college would solve all my problems. I have become more outgoing and more comfortable socially and with my sexual orientation (though everyone here is very homosexist and would never discuss queer theory as more than a tangent). Other than that, it's been a bust. I don't know what to do--there's only five weeks left in my first year, and I feel like friendships and situations are already cemented. I'm miserable, though--been crying all week since I got back from break. This has been the longest week of my life.
I'm sorry to hear that your experience has fallen short of your expectations- although they were very high.
All isn't lost though, is it?
Next year you'll be taking new classes and presumably higher level subjects and you now have an idea of what you don't like, which can help you focus on finding something that does inspire you.
I'm not totally sure how it works in the US (in the UK universities don't follow the liberal arts based curriculum) but everyone always says it gets harder accademically in the second year than the first where everyone is mostly focussed on settling in (or equally on going out drinking until they die).
Also, your friendships at this stage aren't set in stone. There are people you haven't met and you still have lots of time to get to know new people. There must be clubs and societies you can go along to, and if there isn't anything you find interesting then couldn't you apply to start your own, like a discussion forum sort of thing?
My friend CA has found university underwhelming, so have lots of my friends (almost all of them). We've all been told to focus on it for so long that the reality can never fulfill all the things it was meant to.
But even if university is never as great as you wish it would be, then you'll just have to work hard at finding your niche once you leave.
If I'm learning anything on this thoroughly depressing year, it's that this wonderland we're going to find one day, where everything we've been looking forward to is happening, just doesn't exist. Our best hope is to try to make some sort of facimile of it- if we can and try, if not to appreciate, then at least to notice, the elements of the fantasy we do have.

What Does MSRP Really Mean?
October 21st, 2011 by Armaan AlmeidaMSRP, or Manfacturer's Suggested Retail Price, is the amount manufacturers would like dealers to charge for a given model and trim level. It is the most commonly quoted price for comparison purposes, including on this blog.
MSRP is not necessarily the same as what you'll actually be paying. The sticker price, or what the dealer seeks to charge for a new car, is usually slightly lower than MSRP. The listed MSRP also excludes destination charges, which add around $750-$1,000. Then there are taxes, titling, documentation and other fees.
As the new car buyer you can often purchase a vehicle at significant discount over MSRP by watching for incentives and rebates, finding several quotes and through a little negotiation. Some hard-to-find vehicles just won't sell at any lower price, or even thousands above MSRP if demand is very high.

Stocks rose on Wall Street Friday after a new report said the nation's economy grew at its fastest pace in six years.
The Commerce Department said the gross domestic product grew at an annual rate of 5.7 percent during the fourth quarter, easily topping economists' forecast for growth of 4.5 percent.
The strong GDP report should get the market back on track after a 10-month rally came to a screeching halt over the past week.

Michael Steele/Getty ImagesUsain Bolt ran 100 meters in 9.63 seconds. That skill could translate.
Every four years, American sports fans are wowed by the speed of Jamaica's Usain Bolt. Then many of these same fans immediately think: "OMG. I wonder what he could do on a football field!"
Probably not much, because Bolt has never played football, has never been hit, and probably can't catch very well. That said, why are we limiting Bolt's future to football?
There are many other sports in which he theoretically could succeed.
Long jump: Can he jump long? Who knows. Carl Lewis was a great sprinter and did pretty well in the long jump. When you run a 9.63 in the 100 meters, the long jump isn't too hard. You just sprint to the line and lift up your legs. Physics takes over from there. Watch a plane take off sometime.
Marathon: With a 9.63 pace in 100 meters, Bolt would run a marathon in about an hour. That time would blow the world record out of the water. What's that, you say? He couldn't keep that pace up for 26.2 miles? Fine. Even if he just coasted half-speed, he'd still do quite well.
Swimming: What's swimming if not running in the water? In both running and swimming, you succeed by moving your arms and legs really fast. Bolt would just have to jump in the water and do what comes naturally, albeit with the plane of his body tilted forward 45 degrees. Michael Phelps' records wouldn't stand a chance.
Pinch runner: Even more unlikely than Bolt being able to catch a football with a defensive back draped on him? Bolt hitting a major league slider. But he wouldn't have to hit. He could just come in late in the game as a pinch runner, steal second, steal third -- those first two steals often coming on the same pitch -- and then steal home. Game over. If George Steinbrenner were still alive, the Yankees would have signed him already.
Tennis ball man: Perhaps not as exciting a job as the others, but a speedy tennis-ball retriever guy sure would keep matches going.
NFL draft bust: Bolt would be insane to not show up at the 2013 NFL draft combine to run a 3.8 40. Scouts would explode in excitement and make him the No. 1 overall pick. He wouldn't have to impress anyone with actual football activities -- or rather, not impress anyone with actual football activities -- until after signing his contract.

One Art Transience Quotes
How we cite our quotes: (stanza.line)
Quote #1
so many things seem filled with the intent
to be lost that their loss is no disaster. (1.2-3)
The implication here is that many things are destined to be lost, and even actively will their own loss; the speaker isn't in control of what comes and goes in her life.
Quote #2
Lose something every day. Accept the fluster
of lost door keys, the hour badly spent. (2.4-5)
This odd command suggests that loss is a permanent state of unsettledness, and that only by accepting its inevitability can we learn to cope with it.
Quote #3
Then practice losing farther, losing faster (3.7)
The expansion of this idea of the "art of losing" into the abstract begins in this line. The poem gains momentum as the poet loses things of greater and greater value, increasing our sense of instability and change.

Very few home invasions are random. Burglars choose targets based on a number of factors, including perceived affluence, ease of entry, and of course, vacancy. Burglars especially love it when you take a much-needed vacation, because they can make their way through your home with little chance of being detected. But how does a criminal actually know that you're leaving town? The answer may be a lot more sinister than you realize.
A Professional Burglar Speaks Out
Walter T. Shaw once belonged to the Dinner Set Gang, one of the most notorious burglary rings in the country. A seasoned professional with a lengthy rap sheet, Shaw claims there has never been a home he couldn't get into. According to Shaw, in an interview with MSN Money, "Americans tend to tell everyone they're going on vacation, a weekend getaway or a business trip." Shaw further elaborates that thieves have informants everywhere, and that his own tipsters included carpet installers, bank tellers and hairstylists. "These folks were often told about a customer's upcoming trip and gave us the details, making it very easy to plan our 'visit' to the house."
Social Media Madness
It's one thing to chat with total strangers about your vacation plans; it's another thing entirely to announce your plans to the world via CyberSpace. "OMG About to spend the next two weeks in Cabo! #winning." Well it may interest you to know that as many as 80 percent of burglars use social media to find potential targets, according to a report from Friedland. So just say no to social media vacation announcements. Even if you have the maximum privacy settings on your accounts, you never quite know who's listening in.
It's Not Just Word of Mouth
Aside from talking too much, we can inadvertently send messages to would-be burglars simply by how we organize our trash. For example, let's say that you just purchased a new 60-inch HD-TV for your home. Just one problem. You placed the box out on the curb for the trash collector. You might as well put up a giant billboard that reads, "Hey burglars, I just bought a new $800 TV. Come and get it!" Many burglars will even dig through trashcans while casing a home, so be very mindful of what you throw away. Shred all personal mail and financial records before disposing of them, and don't advertise your valuables to the curious public.
Additional Vacation Tips
If you do plan to head out of town for a while, there are a few things you need to know. For starters, don't let newspapers or advertisements pile up on your porch, and don't let the mail collect in your mailbox. Ask a trusted neighbor to collect your mail and other deliveries while you're away. Additionally, set up some timed lights to shine during the nighttime hours. This will present the illusion that someone is home. A fake TV light can reinforce this illusion even more. Remember, it's all about how you communicate to the world, and verbal communication is only a very small part of the equation.
Securing Your Home
Even when you're extremely careful, and you go to great lengths to avoid the TMI factor, you can't always avoid a burglary. You can greatly reduce your odds of becoming a victim, but you can't guarantee that it won't happen to you. A burglary occurs every 15 seconds in the United States, and every home needs a quality security system. If you're still rolling the dice on your home safety, check out the wide selection of home security systems right here at Home Security Store, and see just how easy and affordable it can be to establish professional-level security. And next time you're tempted to tell your local barista about your upcoming Vegas trip, just remember those three important letters: TMI.

There is no charge if we cannot assist you. Fees are charged if we accept your case. We do not provide free legal advice, however. Virtually everything we do in our daily lives creates some type of a relationship. Different relationships give rise to different duties by reason of the relationship or contract creating it. Employment, sales, purchases, banking, partnerships, corporations, securities, leases, real estate, licensing agreements, insurance, competitors, former employees, former employers, accountants, attorneys and investments are but a few examples of the relationships formed and terminated on a daily basis. Persons and companies doing business together create relationships whether by express contract or by operation of law. In turn, those relationships each have duties. When the actions or omissions of one side or the other, intentionally or accidentally, damages or threatens to damage the other economically this gives rise to a potential legal claim. Depending upon the nature and immediacy of that harm the injured party may be entitled to monetary compensation, injunctive and/or other equitable relief. Each of these relationships gives rise to the need for legal counsel on both sides of that relationship. The need is there to assist the person or company in their business dealings to prevent inadvertent violation of law, minimize the damage or injury to others when it is necessary to terminate that relationship, or prevent others from benefiting unfairly by their actions. Similarly, when a person or company has been sued or threatened with a lawsuit, legal counsel and/or representation is necessary to minimize harm to the company or person sued and, perhaps, seek affirmative relief back against the aggressive party. Success Examples The McCrory Law Firm was able to assist a woman who moved to Dallas and then was terminated after one day on the job in recovering her moving expenses, lost pay, and mental anguish damages. We represented a securities broker fired after receiving a bonus keep the majority of it. We have prevented recovery in a lawsuit by a corporate officer against our client, a fellow officer and director. We have made a partner pay back money he siphoned from a partnership. Recovery for minor beneficiaries on contested ERISA life insurance policies involving hundreds of thousands of dollars was obtained without necessity of a trial, including the agreed resignation/refusal to serve by a major bank named Trustee under a will and the appointment of a new bank as Trustee. We have represented companies against DTPA (Deceptive Trade Practice) claims. We brought suits against co-partners of businesses for recovery of monies embezzled or taken by fraud. We have defended builders against wrongful claims by homeowners and brought lawsuits on behalf of builders for contract breaches. McCrory Law Firm has obtained a settlement from a bank for paying out a company's monies to an employee who embezzled money . We have recovered monies stolen from persons believing they were investing in oil and real estate ventures, some by trial and others by settlement. We have also recovered monies for companies and a veterinarian for breaches of contracts. Results are fact specific and are not indicative of future results.

We have helped clients throughout Dallas, Richardson, Plano, Denton, Fort Worth and other Metroplex cities and would welcome the opportunity to help you. • BACK TO EXPERIENCE • BACK TO TOP Real Estate is one area of business that touches most people at some point during their lives; whether it be the purchase or sale of a home, the purchase of an office building, a corporate lease, an investment alone or through a partnership or perhaps with another person. McCrory Law Firm has been there for our clients in all of these situations. We have recovered substantial sums of money for persons who have been defrauded in their real estate dealings. We have assisted others in dissolving partnerships involving real estate ownership, recovering our investors' monies from the offending partners. Constructing a new home or adding a home addition can give rise to disputes between homeowners and the builders. We can help contractors and homeowners work through the maze of applicable laws of the TEXAS RESIDENTIAL CONSTRUCTION COMMISSION ACT (TRCCA) and the Residential Construction Liability Act (RCLA) and the Deceptive Trade Practices-Consumer Protection Act and their notices, deadlines and other requirements necessary to protect and limit damages or to maximize and assert legitimate claims. McCrory Law Firm has successfully set aside foreclosure sales wrongfully conducted, recovering title to a single person's home. Provided guidance in lawsuits to limit builders' exposure and restrict the types of damages recoverable against them. Recovered investors' monies from unscrupulous general partners, sending one to prison, in real estate ventures. We have sued for and obtained partitions (division) of real estate between partners and heirs.

Celebrities add sparkle to inauguration
PUBLISHED: 21 Jan 2013 10:19:00 | UPDATED: 21 Jan 2013 10:22:04PRINT EDITION: 21 Jan 2013Singer Beyonce Knowles is one of a number of celebrities set to perform at US presidential inauguration events. Photo: AP
As the US capital prepares to honour President Barack Obama's second inauguration, celebrities are descending on the city to attend balls and perform at concerts adding to the pomp of the grand celebration.
The inauguration and two inaugural balls on Monday are the main events featuring stars, for which the presidential inaugural committee handpicked performers with the approval of the president.
At the inauguration ceremony on Monday, pop musician Beyonce will sing the national anthem and Kelly Clarkson will perform My Country Tis of Thee.
Singer-songwriter James Taylor, who also sang at the Democratic National Convention in September 2012, will perform America the Beautiful at the ceremony.
"Vice President Biden and I are honoured to have these wonderfully talented musical artists perform at the inaugural ceremony," President Obama said. "Their music is often at the heart of the American story and speaks to folks across the country."
In light of the recent economic struggles, the presidential couple will attend only two inaugural balls, both of which will take place in the Washington Convention Centre to minimise the need for additional security.
The Commander-In-Chief's Ball, a tradition started by former president George W Bush in 2005, is open to select active and reserve members of the military, Medal of Honor recipients and wounded warriors and their spouses.
The first couple will also stop by the official Inaugural Ball attended by members of the public, grassroots volunteers, local community leaders and local and state representatives.
A limited number of tickets for the ball were sold for $US60 ($57) to the public.
Celebrities performing at the balls include Alicia Keys, Brad Paisley, Far East Movement, fun., members of the cast of Glee, John Legend, Katy Perry, Marc Anthony, Stevie Wonder and Usher.
The anticipation over fashion statements is already running high, especially with many wondering what dress first lady Michelle Obama will wear at the balls.
Twenty designers have sent ball gowns to the White House for consideration including Michael Kors, Derek Lam and Zac Posen, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
In 2009, the first lady wore a long white chiffon dress by Jason Wu, a young Taipei-born designer.

Here's a phone call you have *got* to hear! A San Francisco man called Comcast to make a simple request.
All Ryan Block wanted was to cancel his Comcast internet and cable subscription.
But the Comcast guy wasn't going to have it.
"I'm just trying to figure out here what it is about Comcast service that you're not liking? You're not wanting to keep." insisted the Comcast rep.
Block, who did not want to go on camera, said he switched providers, but he never expected it would be so tough.
So, what is it about this other internet provider, TV provider that's making it sound so much better than the number one TV service available?
I don't know. It's totally arbitrary decision.
Okay, so why not keep what you know works?
Block -- a tech journalist -- recorded and posted the call -- so far more than 2 million hits, and people can't believe what they hear.
I don't see the need to get into it. If I want to cancel my service, I want to cancel my service. There's no need to debate anything.
The Comcast rep was persistent.
Why don't you want those services?
Because I'm not interested in your services any longer, can you.
Okay. So you're not interested in the fastest internet in the country?
In a statement Comcast wrote:
"We are very embarrassed... the way in which our representative communicated with him is unacceptable."
So even after that 20 minute call. And they finally heard what they wanted to hear. The Blocks still didn't trust their service was canceled. They decided to come to an office in person, just to make sure.
Tonight Block was expecting a personal call from Comcast executives, presumably an apology. Hopefully it was a quick call.
Comcast says it will investigate and promises quick action.

Microworld Research LaboratoryThis Web site describes the computer-simulated microworlds and facilities used for our continuing research efforts on measures of expertise (i.e., CWS), decision-making, mental models, individual differences, and team behavior.
Controller Teamwork Evaluation and Assessment Methodology (CTEAM)The CTEAM computer-simulated microworld is a low fidelity simulation of air traffic control. Developed and maintained by the Federal Aviation Administration, CTEAM is a simplified version of a real air traffic control task that allows for individual or team operator designs. CTEAM operators control traffic in their virtual airspace by using a command toolbar, located in the right hand corner of the screen, to issue heading, speed, and altitude commands. Aircraft are either landed at an airport in the operators sector or sent through an adjacent exit gate. Time through sector (the time from when an aircraft appears in an operator's sector to the time it reaches its final destination) is a common performance measure used in our studies. Demonstration DownloadsYou can view the demonstration as a Web slide presentation. View PPS of an individual controlling air traffic in a single sector (1220 KB) or View individual sector demonstration as a Web page (for best viewing, click the "Full Screen Slide Show" icon in the lower right corner of the window) View PPS of a team controlling air traffic in a multiple sectors (820 KB) or View the team demonstration as a Web page (for best viewing, click the "Full Screen Slide Show" icon in the lower right corner of the window)
Networked Fire Chief (NFC)Networked Fire Chief was created by Mary Omodei and is continually being adapted to explore contemporary research questions by Mary and the rest of the Complex Decision Research Group (CDRG). For more information about their work with Fire Chief and related decision research, please see the CDRG hompage. NFC is a program for generating distributed interactive task environments, including but not limited to firefighting simulations, that capture the essential attributes of real-life distributed decision-making situations. The two major features of the program are its flexibility for scenario development and the ability to network a number of computer stations running the same scenario. NFC can be used to simulate firefighting or any other scattering environmental malady, for example, oil spills and locust swarms. We have designed firefighting team scenarios that have multiple-sector layouts similar to CTEAM scenarios. A demonstration of an individual fighting fires in his or her sector can be downloaded below. In this scenario, the operator's goal is to save as much landscape as possible using a helicopter and a firetruck. Both of these firefighting appliances are limited in speed (i.e., the helicopter is faster than the firetruck) and the amount of water they hold (i.e., the firetruck holds more water than the helicopter). When an appliance runs out of water, the operator must refill it at any one of the ponds. In addition to directing the appliances to fires and ponds, operators must also attend to the direction and speed of the wind. Common performance measures used in NFC include the amount of landscape preserved, resources used, and the number of moves used in the scenario.
