As far as noise is concerned this is the worst apartment I have ever lived in and I have lived in a lot of apartments. The apartments are cheaply built. You can hear every single step the person above makes. Literally! You can hear the dryer run in the next door unit and every time someone flushes or runs water you can hear it running down the pipes in the walls. While laying in bed at night you more

Any good review on here is written by a worker and I promise that. The "cheap rent" (not very cheap when you include their bs water and electric bills that are suspiciously high) is 100% not worth everything I'm about to explain. 1. The apartments are in terrible shape, there are numerous walls with tape on it so they didn't hate to patch something or so the wall wouldn't more

I love this place, and hate to leave it. Its really convenient, located smack in the middle of UT and ACC-Rio Grande, about 4-5 blocks to either. I rarely drive anywhere. The management is the best i've ever had--she gives out her cell phone, and when there's a problem she's on it within hours, sometimes minutes. She's very laid-back and easy-going, and a real pleasure to deal more

I lived in a 3 bed/3 bath for 2 years and this was my favorite apartment during college. I highly recommend the Villas. PROS: -I think these were built in 1999, but they still feel new. Everything was in good condition when we moved in and remained in good condition during our 2 years there. -2 of the 3 bedrooms are very spacious (including closets) and the smaller bedroom has a huge more

I have lived in this property for years now, recently changes have been made with management and must say its an OK change (nothing special about new manager) he does have a very military demeanor, which you can not be all in your residents business & not call the police on them.

Windsong Apartments2703 Swisher St, Austin, TX 78705
07/13/05 by anonymous:
I really enjoyed living at Windsong while I was going to UT. The location is best for those in law, science, comm, etc., but you can still cut through campus quickly to get to the south side of it. As a female, I felt perfectly safe walking to and from campus, even at night, although the Red River intersection can be a bit dangerous for peds.

The location is easily the best in Austin. My unit had all new appliances, tile floors, new carpeting, nice fixtures. Neighbors were pretty friendly. Parking was fine, my unit had a spot in the Railyard lot, so was easy for me. Also, it is much cheaper than some of the newer buildings. Overall, I loved living in the Railyard and would recommend it to anyone looking more

I don't think people know that bedbugs can happen to anyone. My mother got them in her apartment and the staff at the village at collinwood handled it very well. Pest control came the very next day to inspect and just a few days later my moms apartment was treated. It's been a few months now and we have not have any new bedbugs. I was very impressed how the employees handled everything and more

I spent two happy years at Castle Hill & have pleasant memories of the place. If you want a spiffy apartment with pool and gym and all the modern amenities (like washer/dryer hookups), Castle Hill isn't for you. But if you're attracted to an older brick building with wooden floors on a quiet tree-lined street just a stroll from one of the most happenin' intersections in Austin -- 6th & more

text: Scottish rockers Gun are lucky to be alive following a terrifying incident on a highway in Europe. The musicians were travelling back to the U.K. following a gig in Belgium when a wheel on their van came loose at high speed, forcing the vehicle off the road. Frontman Dante Gizzi admits the incident was horrifying and they could easily have lost their lives in a crash if the vehicle had spun out of control. He tells British newspaper the Daily Record, "I heard a weird loud noise. Michael, the bass player, looked in the mirror and and saw the back wheel about to come flying off - wobbling all over the place at 70 miles per hour. We managed to get to the hard shoulder (roadside verge) and there were only two bolts left. We felt lucky to be alive."

Divisional Cup
The quarter-finals of the Divisional Cups take place on Thursday 5th March. Please note that these will NOT be handicapped, and will follow the same format as the Handicap Cup with a random draw deciding the line-ups.
County three points clear with three games to go
County Cons remain at the top of the table after a 4-1 win over Trecenydd Bandits, while Canton Libs A stay second after matching that result against Cuesaders. Savoy closed the gap though after being handed a 5-0 win after their opponents Park Club failed to show, which means they are deducted 6 points. Mackintosh continued their excellent recent form with a 4-1 win over Senghenydd, meaning the top 4 will play each other in the next round of league fixtures, which could have a huge bearing on the destiny of the title. In Division 1, Cathays Cons remain in control after a tight 3-2 win at South Wales Snooker B, but Canton Libs Z have the best chance of catching them after winning the battle of the contenders by defeating Taff's Well 3-2.
Cathays Cons open up a 9 point lead
Cathays Cons took advantage of a bye week for Taff's Well by beating Rumney British Legion 4-1 to move 9 points clear at the top of Division One. Canton Libs Z join Taff's Well in second place after winning 3-2 against South Wales Snooker A to make the Division One title race a three-way battle. In the Premier League, Canton Libs A won the game of the week 3-2 against Savoy in a high quality match. Sam Thomas and Kishan Hirani avoided each other and were able to maintain their 100% records, while County Cons extended their lead at the top thanks to a 4-1 victory at home to Cuesaders. With only 4 games to go, there is still all to play for in both divisions and at the top of the individual rankings. There were two notable breaks this week, a 78 for Kishan Hirani and a 75 for Jason Hewitt, although the league is still waiting for its first century of the season.
Title Race Wide Open
Savoy have inflicted County's first defeat of the season after beating them 4-1 to close the gap at the top of the table to just one point. A massive 5-0 win for Canton Libs A at Senghenydd means it's definitely a three-horse race, with only 5 games remaining. Next week sees the champions face Savoy, where the winners will take a big step towards the title, but there's sure to be many twists and turns before the end of the season. Cathays Cons won the big game in Division One, overcoming Taff's Well to open up a 4 point lead over their title rivals. The end of the season in both divisions looks certain to go all the way to the last game!
Sam Thomas remains unbeaten
Savoy gained a point on County Cons this week, with a 5-0 win over Cuesaders to move within 5 points of the leaders. They were helped by another win for Sam Thomas, who made it 14 out of 14 to stay at the top of the individual rankings. County also retain their 100% record with a fine 4-1 against Senghenydd, to set up a massive clash at Savoy next week, whilst champions Canton Libs A managed a 3-2 victory at an under-strength Mackintosh. Cathays Cons are the first leaders of Division 1 thanks to a 4-1 win over Canton Libs Z, but Taff's Well are close behind as they beat Canton Libs B 3-2, with Kevin Jones winning again to lead the Division 1 rankings ahead of Adrian Jonas of Rumney British Legion.

Attention: Interior Designers & Decorators
"Turn Your First Appointment with a Client Into a Highly Profitable Design Job in the First 15 Minutes Or Less …"
You're About To Discover My Simple And Easy Strategies for Getting Your Potential Clients To Agree On A Project Budget In The Very First Meeting - Even If They Don't Know What There is, So You'll Know Immediately If You Have an Ideal Client & How Much They Can Pay You…
What does a potential client usually say when you ask them how much they want to spend on their interior design project?
Do these responses sound familiar?
I don't know
I don't know (version B – they actually have a number in mind but will not tell you because they think it might be done for less and if you knew you would spend it all.)
I don't have a budget, if I like it I will buy it… (This is also not the truth. This is a person who is doing well financially but not educated in how truly expensive furniture, rugs, art etc. can actually be.)
I am going to spend $5,000.00. (This budget to furnish the living room, dining room and foyer is completely unrealistic. This is also an uneducated client that needs your help.)
I have set aside $50,000.00 for my living room, dining room and foyer. (Now this is a realistic and educated number that you could work with right away!)
Unfortunately scenario #5 happens on only about 3% of new client leads. So what can you do for the other 97%?
Wouldn't it be great if you could…
Find out in a matter of minutes if your new lead is actually a real design client and job or if we're talking Pottery Barn or Holly Hunt.
Design and sell bigger jobs because you're bundling all the pieces together and designing the entire job at once
Make a serious impact on your family's income… get out of debt, save for college or retirement, or fund a memorable vacation
Instantly know how much to charge on your Letter of Agreement for your design time and sign up the client at the first meeting
Set yourself up as the expert designer with all the knowledge and answers
Qualify your clients on the 1st phone call! ( I'm sharing my new client template)
Create a highly valuable and professional new-client "give-away" budget on the fly and stop giving your design ideas away for free
Immediately discover the potential client's "spending ceiling"
Make your design offer at 3 levels so you sign up that client no matter what
Save hours of time by using my Letter of Agreement template (I am sharing the one that I use) for your new clients
Stop selling a room design piece-by-piece and start making twice as much money by selling the whole project at once
Why Would You want to talk about money with a client?
To instantly relieve client fears about the cost of hiring you, so they say "yes" to your fee at the first meeting.
To build a relationship of trust and comfort with new clients when you first meet.
To sign up only qualified clients and change your whole design business for the better
To know the client budget and if you're designing a Volkswagen or a Mercedes right from the start
To discover more about the client's preferences and taste in your programming phase, so your presentation is "right on the mark"
To show the client you're a professional and different from "the decorettes"
To be a responsible and educated designer… you cannot design a space without a budget
What happens when you don't have a budget to work from?
You waste your time creating and pricing a great design only to find out that it's way too expensive and the client is unhappy. Then you redesign the space (with unpaid time) with something less expensive. You lose twice.
The client never completes the design or stops the job because they have reached their spending limit. They start cutting you out of the job, making decisions without you, buying things that don't work to save money. The client isn't happy, you are not happy and you don't have anything to photograph.
You give away your profit trying to please the client because they're complaining about how much everything costs.
Never getting your design business off the ground!
Consistently working with clients who can't make a decision, have trouble spending any money and abuse your time
You're not taken seriously by family members, friends, and clients
What happens when you and a client agree upon a budget?
You know what to design and how much you can spend right from the start.
The product sales are assured because you've already agreed upon what to spend… all you have to do is design to the agreed upon budget… it's that easy!
You know how much your design fee should be.
Easily sign up clients with a fee because everyone has agreed upon the costs… there are no surprises.
Your business grows, you make a profit and you have happy clients.

Lenovo To Launch Chinese Gaming Platform Called Ebox 71
from the wide-open-market dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
It probably is too pricey for the Chinese market.
But they could *absolutely* develop it in 3 months. You could build a better-than-360 console that quickly using off-the-shelf stuff. If you have it run Linux on x86, then developers can CRANK out the games. And if you don't go nuts with the copy protection and licensing restrictions (and historically China doesn't care about those things), you'll have what amounts to a modern version of the Amiga- i.e., a computer built for games.
If that's what it's going to be, that would be pretty awesome.
If it was actually intended for the chinese market and not to "accidentally" be sold to other countries through international web sites and under-the-table dealers I might agree with you.
You are wrong. You know why the real estate prices soar in Hong Kong, Macau and Canada? Mainland Chinese keep buying them with cash. Like everything else, this thing is not marketed to those who cannot afford it.
Waste of time.. The story mentioned China, so full xenophobia mode is engaged. Any depiction of a Chinese national as anything other than a poverty stricken sweatshop worker will be aggressively and hysterically denied. I imagine Japan had the same treatment at one pint.
At the source of every error which is blamed on the computer you will find at least two human errors, including the error of blaming it on the computer.

Anybody see any Mirliton seedlings in the New Orleans, Northshore area?
They are starting to show up in the grocery so I wonder if I can just try to start a couple of those?
Hubby and I simply bought a couple of mirliton at the fruit stand and planted. This will be their 3rd year of production. Look at LSU agcenter web site - they have a great pdf file on growing these. good luck. If you are ever in Baton Rouge Naylor's had potted mirliton for sale.
I'm going to try growing these for the first time. Do check out the LSU Ag site. At another site (http://www.cookinglouisiana.com/Articles/Mirletons.htm Jack Guidry from Lafayette gives this suggestion: Take several mirlitons and place them in a paper bag (leave it open for air flow) and set them in a cool, dark, dry place.
Good luck!
Here is a link that might be useful: LSU Ag site
See if you can click on this link or cut and paste this url address. It tells about what you are asking and a history and how Katrina destroyed most vines. They are trying to bring the vines back. Good luck. Try the French Quarter Farmers Market, other local farmer's markets, and LSU Ag Center for further info. Season for mirlitons is fall/December.
I was wondering how many people grew these and how far north in Louisiana they do. I recently watched a video on youtube from a guy named John Kohler who grows them in northern California.
http://www.youtube.com/user/growingyourgreens This is the link to his site which gives you his most recent video. The guy converted his whole yard into raised beds for vegetables.
I am thinking of trying to grow chayote or mirlitons along a fence. One other thought was how to best utilize any fruit that may be produced.
You do NOT need a male and female mirliton. Only one is required. To learn all you ever wanted to know about mirlitons go here. http://mirlitons.org/
Also , the grocery store mirliton will not produce fruit and will probably not survive.
Get a heirloom Louisiana mirliton. You can sign up for notification when and where they are available at the link shown. If you do get one, don't let it cross pollinate with another variety.
Here is a link that might be useful: mirlitons.org
This post was edited by one800fish on Sun, Jun 9, 13 at 13:29
I am looking to plant some Mirliton this year, family farm, nothing large -- am looking for anyone who sells them on the North Shore of the Lake -- around Slidell or Picayune, Mississippi.
Thanks for any help

Scientists Baffled By Unknown Source of Ozone-Depleting Chemical 303
from the i-blame-the-schools dept.

I know because it's happening all over the Coachella Valley. I have seen cut rate guys NOT reclaiming or pumping down coils - jettisoning 10+ pounds each time. This occurs at least 50 times a day here in the desert that I know of. Even top paid contractors like callthegeneral.com just don't care because their commission is based on number of visits per day, and it takes an extra 15-25 minutes to pump a system down before removal. The wholesale houses even pay a couple $$$ per pound of the reclaimed stuff, but commission rates ensure blowing off straight to atmosphere every time.
The Clear Skies Act 2003 was a failed attempt by Republicans to INCREASE the amount of allowed air pollution. It would have done exactly the opposite of its title. It is a textbook example of doublespeak. It was never passed. It was an abysmal failure on so many levels.
Old George and Tricky Dicky weren't quite so brazen as Dubya. But: HW's sulphur cap and trade program took another five years to start, and was less successful than conventional regulation in Europe.

The Illyrian bid for legitimacy
By Robin Waterfield
The region known as Illyris (Albania and Dalmatia, in today's terms) was regarded at the time as a barbarian place, only semi-civilized by contact with its Greek and Macedonian neighbours. It was occupied by a number of different tribes, linked by a common culture and language (a cousin of Thracian). From time to time, one of these tribes gained a degree of dominance over some or most of the rest, but never over all of them at once. Contact with the Greek world had led to a degree of urbanization, especially in the south and along the coast, but the region still essentially consisted of many minor tribal dynasts with networks of loyalty. At the time in question, the Ardiaei were the leading tribe, and in the 230s their king, Agron, had forged a kind of union, the chief plank of which was alliances with other local magnates from central Illyris, such as Demetrius, Greek lord of the wealthy island of Pharos, and Scerdilaidas, chief of the Illyrian Labeatae.

SIMCOE COUNTY - All Simcoe Country District School Board School are open today.
However, all buses serving these schools have been cancelled.
The board sent a press release early this morning saying that elementary teachers and designated early childhood educators are expected to report for work at their schools.
Protest action declared illegal.
The board apologized for the short notice but said the timing was beyond the school board's control.
Elementary Teachers' Federation of Ontario president Sam Hammond told reporters he was disappointed but the union would respect the decision and expect that teachers show up for work on Friday. Protests had been planned outside the Ministry of Education and the offices of the provincial Liberal leadership candidates.
"We will be complying with all of the orders," Hammond said. "We will be directing our members to report to work tomorrow ... it has been a very difficult day but this is the process where we feel these types of decisions should be made."
Hammond said he would be speaking to legal counsel in the following days before deciding whether to appeal.
He announced on Wednesday that 76,000 teachers would walk off the job Friday in response to controversial Bill 115 and the collective agreements the government imposed on teachers. Hammond has said 92 per cent of teachers who voted in December approved the Friday walkout.
The province called the move an illegal strike and asked the OLRB later Wednesday for a cease-and-desist order, which was granted by chair Bernard Fishbein early Friday. Among his other orders was the demand that his decision be posted to every union bulletin board in public elementary schools.
Before the decision, Premier Dalton McGuinty pointedly didn't want to discuss punitive measures for teachers, if they go against the ruling. But disobeying the order could place the union and teachers in contempt of court resulting in fines of up to $25,000 for the unions and as much as $2,000 for individual teachers under the Ontario Labour Relations Act.
Minister of Education Laurel Broten said the ruling "clears up some of that confusion and misinformation.
"Now teachers understand from the Ontario Labour Relations Board that what they were being asked to do by their union was to break the law," she said in a statement. "Teachers are law abiding and now that they know the facts, I know that they will report to work this morning."
The deputy minister had contacted school boards after the decision, in hopes that schools will open, Broten said, noting some schools had decided to stay closed and others were treating it as a "reverse snow day" by planning to communicate with parents in the morning.
During the labour board hearing, which began at 3 p.m. on Thursday, ETFO lawyer Howard Goldblatt initially made the case that the matter should be dealt with by the courts, as it is tied to an existing constitutional challenge to Bill 115.
"They basically created the rules and put us in the ring with our hands tied," he said.
But OLRB chair Bernard Fishbein ruled against the deferral about two hours after the hearing began. ETFO also said the planned protest was not illegal but Fishbein said "I am not persuaded that these are sufficient or salient distinctions" in response to their arguments.
Lawyers were also present for the Ontario Public School Boards' Association and the Ontario Secondary School Teachers' Federation, which had also been planning a protest for next week.
"This whole negotiation process has been one of disappointment, not only for the teachers but for us as well ... now we have to rebuild this relationship," said OPSBA president Michael Barrett. "We shouldn't have to go through these marathon decisions in order to determine what's legal and what's not."

Microsoft could soon release a free edition of Windows 8.1
Rumors are circling that Microsoft is working on a new version of Windows 8.1 that the company would release for free in an effort to introduce more people to the company's flagship operating system. The free version is reportedly called "Windows 8.1 with Bing," and will include several key apps from the Redmond software giant that have been limited in functionality in an effort to promote sales of the higher tier versions of the OS.
Microsoft could introduce the free version as an upgrade from current Windows 7 customers, which could significantly boost Windows 8.1's adoption numbers. The free version of Windows 8.1 would also most likely push Microsoft's subscription-based cloud services as a way of generating revenue from the free OS. Many see the free version of Windows 8.1 as a way for Microsoft to combat Google's Chrome OS as well as the growing popularity of Linux-based OS such as Ubuntu. Additional rumors suggest that Microsoft is also using this initiative as a way to push integration of Windows RT and Windows Phone into a single low-cost mobile OS, which could entice more OEMs into releasing Windows-based smartphones.
Windows 8.1 Update rumored for April 8 launch
If you are one of the PC users out there who are using Windows 8.1 without a touchscreen, you may be wondering when the next update will land. Microsoft has promised to make Windows 8.1 easier to use for people that aren't on touchscreen devices with the new update.
The update is tipped to add things like a right click context menu and the ability to launch apps from the task bar. The update is also expected to put the search and power buttons inside the Start screen. Back in January, we heard that the update might land in March.
A new rumor is making the rounds that Microsoft will wait until April 8 to make that next update. The specific day the update will land according to the rumor is April 8. There is something else interesting about that date for Microsoft fans.

AMD and BlueStacks to bring dual-OS Android solution to market
MWC 2014 - AMD has partnered with Bluestacks to unveil a new dual-OS Android solution that has been optimized for AMD APUs at this weeks Mobile World Congress. The new dual OS solution brings a virtualized Android experience to new Microsoft Windows 8-based AMD-based tablets, 2-in-1s, notebooks and desktops and can be found on devices at select retailers across the US now.
"The ability to span two OS ecosystems gives end-users access to both Windows and Android apps, but the key is providing for the seamless integration of entertainment and productivity across those ecosystems," said Steve Belt, corporate vice president, Product Management, at AMD. "Introducing our solution in retail puts AMD and BlueStacks in a unique position to offer in-store customers the option to include access to this great experience at the time of purchase of their new systems."

Microsoft provides details on Windows Phone 8.1
Microsoft is beginning to finally, kind of, talk about Windows Phone 8.1, but won't utter the words during Mobile World Congress. Microsoft's Joe Belfiore says that the company will "technically" support all existing Windows Phone 8-based devices with the upcoming mobile OS update.
The company says that the update will arrive in spring, with some major changes coming to Microsoft's mobile OS. Microsoft will support on-screen buttons in Windows Phone 8.1, as well as new hardware support for Qualcomm's Snapdragon 200, 400 and 400 LTE chipsets. This will allow device makers to make cheaper devices, as well as devices without physical buttons.
Belfiore says that the changes talked about are designed to "help us get more and more momentum", while allowing phone makers to reuse their existing Windows Phone devices. The new update will also include support for apps to be stored on the microSD card, which will pave the way for cheaper phones with less on-board storage.

Microsoft slashes Windows 8.1 prices for OEM partners
To appease OEM hardware manufacturers upset with disappointing Windows 8 sales, Microsoft reportedly will slash 8.1 prices it charges to OEMs by 70 percent. Instead of paying a license fee of $50 for mobile products that cost $250 or less, OEMs will now only have to pay $15 per unit.
Microsoft said it did 1.24 billion hours of Windows 8 testing during development, hearing about user displeasure of the Metro interface. New CEO Satya Nadella must try and determine if Microsoft will move on to the next version of Windows, or put full effort into trying to raise adoption as quickly as possible.
Using market-development funds and other incentives, larger hardware OEMs were paying around $30 per unit, according to a report published by Bloomberg Technology. Microsoft offers MDF money, similar to other companies, based on sales, revenue generated, using a tier system with its partners.

Microsoft has sold over 200 million Windows 8 licenses
How is Windows 8 going for Microsoft after a year on the market? Well, Microsoft's Executive Vice President of Marketing, Tami Reller, spoke at a Goldman Sachs technology conference yesterday, where he said: "We've surpassed 200 million licenses now on Windows 8, which is pretty stunning".
This seems like a lot, and it is - especially when you compare the numbers against Windows 7 after a year in consumers' HDDs. Windows 7 at this point in time had sold over 240 million licenses, but with Windows 8 not being received anywhere near as well as its predecessor, it's doing quite well at this point in its lifecycle.
Google rumored to be forcing OEMs to use recent versions of Android
Google has pushed out a new policy that will see OEMs using newer versions of Android, if they want to quality for Google Mobile Services (GMS) - otherwise known as Google Apps, reports Android Police.
If the rumors are true, it would see the Mountain View-based giant no longer authorizing devices running versions older than Android 4.2. The report also states that OEMs will no longer be allowed to release devices running versions of Android older than Android 4.2 after April of this year, with the same rules applying to Android 4.3 after July 2014.
OEMs won't be happy with this news, but consumers will benefit greatly from having the latest versions of Android on new devices.
Windows Phone 8.1 Notification Center teased in leaked shots
Winphollowers has posted some leaked screenshots from an internal Microsoft PowerPoint presentation, which show off Windows Phone 8.1's heavily improved Notification Center.
The Notification Center, or "Action Center" as Microsoft seems to call it, will display itself with a quick swipe from the top of the screen. From here, four basic settings are on-hand, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and more. These four actions are customizable, so you can play around with them, but the basic Action Center will also display the date, and battery level percentage.
If you continue to pull on the Notification Center, a full "Action Center" will be displayed with even more information and settings. Microsoft's update to its mobile OS will also push forward a split in volume controls for ringer/notifications and media/apps, too. Windows Phone 8.1 will also bring forth Microsoft's own personal assistant, "Cortana". We should hear more about Windows Phone 8.1 at Microsoft's Build developer conference in April.
ReportTT: Apple wanted Sony VAIO's to run its OS as far back as 2001
A new report has surfaced that unveils some interesting information about talks between Sony and Apple way back in 2001 that could have seen an Apple operating system on the company's VAIO product. The report from Nobuyuki Hayashi reminisces back to an interview between Hayashi and ex-Sony president Kunitake Ando who spilled the beans on a 2001 meeting between Steve Jobs and himself on a golf course.
Ando recalls that after a round of golf with several Sony executives, Steve Jobs and other Apple employees greeted him at the end of the golf course and were holding a Sony VAIO PC that was running Mac OS. The report states that Jobs liked Sony's VAIO line so much that he offered to make an exception to his "No Mac clone rule" just for Sony. Unfortunately, this was also around the time that Sony was beginning to see its VAIO line skyrocket with Windows, and the cards never fell into place for a VAIO-branded Mac PC.
The sun was not enough, North Korea rips off OS X with Red Star Linux
After returning from its mission to the sun (satire), North Korea appears to have kicked its development of Red Star Linux into high gear. New screen shots have surfaced of the OS and they tell two very big tales. First off, the screen shots are square, so North Korea has yet to adopt widescreen technology. Secondly, Kim Jong Un must be a huge fan of Apple's OS X operating system.
Former iterations of the Linux-based OS took on a more Windows 7 desktop appearance, but these new screen captures are clearly a direct rip-off of Apple's OS X. Red Star Linux has been in development in the isolated country for more than a decade now, and this new OS X style version marks the third revision in the OS' history. The screen captures came from, Will Scott, a university professor who spent a semester teaching in Pyongyang at its University of Science.
The operating system does include a Mozilla-based web browser even though Internet access is restricted to most North Korean citizens. The browser is used to access a country-wide intranet that serves up websites for North Korean educational institutions, and government propaganda sites. The OS also features a copy of Wine so that some programs coded for Windows can be run. With such a blatant rip-off of OS X's theme, one is left wondering when we will see the first North Korean knock off iPhone or iPad arrive.

Awareness is neither male nor female, because it does not belong to the body; it hovers above the body. People come to me and ask, "Where is the location of awareness" It cannot be located, because it is not part of the body. It hovers somewhere above you. It is not exactly in the body; it cannot be located. And once you become aware, you also hover over your body: you are not in the body. That is the meaning of the English word ecstasy. Ecstasy means standing out of oneself, ecstasy: standing out.
When you become aware, you become ecstatic: you stand outside yourself. You become a watcher on the hills.
Enough for today.

In Madrid we are meeting up with an Irish friend Mark who lives in Valencia. He will join us in the flat on Saturday night. We love languages, meeting new people and exploring new cities. We look forward to meeting you soon. Arida
