Auryn Teams Up With Artist Lisbeth Zwerger to Bring The Little Mermaid to Life on the iPad
LOS ANGELES, Feb. 25, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — The Little Mermaid as told by Hans Christian Andersen and illustrated by Lisbeth Zwerger was released on the iPad today when Auryn, Inc., a leading digital publisher for children's storybook apps, unveiled the classic children's book as the first ever underwater storybook experience.
"This is a very different app for us," said Umesh Shukla, Founder and CCO of Auryn. "The interactivity is more sophisticated, allowing readers to immerse themselves in sounds and visuals that go beyond the existing book experience."
Key features of the innovative book app include subtle ripples that will make children feel (and sound) like they're reading the story underwater, and interactive creatures and plant life that seamlessly guide readers from one page to the next.
"We wanted to enhance the storytelling without taking away from the classic story or beautiful illustrations of Lisbeth Zwerger," Shukla continued. "It's such an honor for us to bring this piece of children's literature to life."
This is the first of award-winning illustrator Lisbeth Zwerger's books to become available on the iPad. In addition to The Little Mermaid, Zwerger's illustrated works include The Wizard of Oz, Alice in Wonderland, A Christmas Carol and many more.
"I'm beyond thrilled to see The Little Mermaid brought to life in such an innovative and interactive app," said Lisbeth Zwerger. "Auryn stayed true to the original artwork and created a beautiful way for a new generation of tech-savvy parents and children to enjoy the timeless story on a whole new level."
The app is available in the iTunes App store (http://bit.ly/fHmVc3 or search for Auryn) for a special promotional price of $.99 all weekend.

|NASCAR's Kurt Busch seeing sports psychologist
|Written by Admin
|Thursday, 01 December 2011 13:41
Busch was fined $50,000 by NASCAR last week for verbally abusing an ESPN reporter and making an obscene gesture in his race car during the season finale at Homestead. NASCAR also cited a pattern of previous incidents with reporters for fining Busch.
Now in his hometown of Las Vegas for the season-ending awards ceremony, Busch acknowledged Thursday he's been seeing a psychologist for two months and needs to work on improving his behavior.
Busch also said his actions at Homestead were inappropriate. He was angry because a transmission issue sent him into the garage early in the race and he knew he was guaranteed to finish 11th in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship.

MINNEAPOLIS After seven seasons with the Minnesota Twins, utility infielder Alexi Casilla has found a new team.The Baltimore Orioles claimed the 28-year-old Casilla off outright waivers, the Twins announced Friday. Casilla was signed by the Angels as an amateur free agent in 2003 and was traded to the Twins in 2005 for pitcher J.C. Romero.In seven seasons with the Twins, Casilla was a career .250 hitter. He played a career-high 106 games in 2012 and batted .241 with 30 RBI and a career-high 21 stolen bases. Casillas biggest moment in Minnesota came in 2009, when he drove in the game-winning run in Game 163 against the Detroit Tigers. Casilla played three infield positions with the Twins but was primarily used at second base (399 games).The Twins also acquired two players from the Colorado Rockies on Friday, the team announced. Infielder Tommy Field and right-hander Josh Roenicke were both claimed off outright waivers by the Twins. The 25-year-old Field has played 18 career games in...

Hard-hitting Gudas Gaining AttentionSubmitted by jghoughtaling on November 14, 2012 - 18:01
By Jeremy Houghtaling
Growing up, Radko Gudas modeled his game after two players.
The first, his father Leo, represented his country in multiple world championships and won the bronze medal for Czechoslovakia in the 1992 Olympics.
"I learned how he played, and that's how I play," Gudas said. "He was a really hard hitter, he had a good shot – a really good defenseman."
North American hockey fans are more familiar with the second player – longtime NHLer Scott Stevens, a fearsome defenseman with the most penalty minutes of any player enshrined in the Hall of Fame.
Elitserien Game Night: 11-13-12Submitted by mike on November 13, 2012 - 19:58
Elitserien (Sweden)
Brynas 4 @ Linkopings 1
Johan Harju, Brynas, 0-1-1, +1, 0 PIM, 2 SOG
Season totals: 21 GP, 7-4-11, +1, 29 PIM
Bolstered by Andreas Thuresson's two goals and and Robin Rahm's steady performance (28 total saves) in net, Brynas leapfrogged Linkopings in the standings with a decisive road victory. Johan Harju had the primary assist on what proved to be the game-winning goal by Sebastian Enterfeldt with just over three minutes remaining in the first. Harju now has points (2 goals, 2 assists) in three of his last four Elitserien games dating back to October 30th. Calle Jarnkrok, selected in the 2nd round of the 2010 NHL entry draft by Detroit, hit the stat sheet with two assists. Late in the second period, Simon Hjalmarsson managed the lone score for Linkopings, which sent plenty of rubber (23 shots) Rahm's way over the middle and final frame but could not get the score any closer. Up next for Brynas (9-6-3-3, 36 PTS) is a showdown with league-leading HV 71, (12-4-3-1, 43 PTS), which has won the last three matches between the two clubs, on Thursday.
JT Brown Anxious to Resume Pro CareerSubmitted by chad on November 7, 2012 - 14:33
JT Brown was just getting his feet wet in the National Hockey League.
In the final game of the 2011-12 regular season – his fifth game since the free agent collegian chose the Tampa Bay Lightning – the highly sought-after prospect registered an assist for his first professional point.
But more importantly, the short time in Tampa gave Brown a taste of the NHL lifestyle, the speed of the game, and the coaching systems.
Killorn Concentrating on ConsistencySubmitted by jghoughtaling on November 2, 2012 - 17:00
By Jeremy Houghtaling
Alex Killorn certainly doesn't seem like a rookie.
With nearly as many playoff games as regular season, the 6-foot-1, 201-pounder is quietly piling up points like a veteran.
Registering six points over his first seven games in his first full professional season with the Syracuse Crunch, Killorn is improving on the impressive pace he set during his first taste of pro hockey last spring.
"When he came in, the game slowed down for him right away, within a couple of games," Crunch head coach Jon Cooper said. "You look at some of our other rookies…It took those guys a little bit more time."
Barberio Wants More WinsSubmitted by jghoughtaling on October 23, 2012 - 11:32
By Jeremy Houghtaling
As far as Mark Barberio is concerned, this season started with a clean slate.
Four months ago the 22-year-old, in his second professional season, hoisted the Calder Cup with the Norfolk Admirals and was named the winner of the Eddie Shore Award as the American Hockey League's top defenseman – and he's the first to point out those accomplishments are in the past tense.
"It was one season, and I'm not going to sit on that season and say 'Yeah, I had a good year,'" Barberio said. "That's all great, but there's a new season now and it's time to get back at it and win hockey games again."
Last season, Barberio notched 61 points in 74 regular season games and followed with nine points in 18 playoff contests. Now the Syracuse Crunch power play quarterback, it took Barberio a little more than five minutes to find the back of the net in the season opener in Rochester.

This collection is inspired by these - and all tomorrow's parties. PARTY ROCK!

The details in light pink, green and blue prove that the designers Fasoli and Marson devote considerable attention to continuity, stability, relevance and homogeneity.

Comfortable cut and bright colors, impressive prints and contrast strips are the hits of this collection. Tailoring at its best We love the classical blazer for each season at the year, but when it gets warmer outside, you guys might think about buying a lightweight blazer to accompany your favourite chino and shirt. With their coats and blazers, the Italian brand Boglioli has been getting a lot of exposure lately. If you absolutely love the Italian tailoring trend, definitely check out the Boglioli garments for yourself. The excitement of luxury Artu Napoli proves that men's fashion doesn't have to be predictable at all. Their mission is to bring the excitement back into your wardrobe.

Wim 22 23 HAIRDRESSER Hola Chola iiiitss...SUMMERTIME !!! My favorite season of the year, it can make you feel like when everything comes together effortlessly, and that is also true when it comes to our hair. For the ladies, we still see a lot of mid-partings in natural looking, but big, and wavy hair... Yes, you heard it right volume is back! But it shouldn't look artificial though. Those who are blessed with natural curly or wavy hair simply need a good haircut, and those with a more straight or limp hair can come a very long way with a CHI curler. All the surf babes are probably stocking up on the beach texture spray for that wild nonchalant look, but don't forget that when you use matifying sprays, you need extra conditioner or a masque to make sure it doesn't loose moister. The hair colours of the moment should look like only the sun has touched your hair. And I know what you're thinking right now... but NO I'm NOT talking highlights here. Stop what you are doing right now and make an appointment, please. And now for the men... Baby faces are still badass, remember that. To all of you who have read my article in the previous magalogue, you know that the `mad men meets James Dean' -look is really working. The only thing we need to do now is to summerfy it. So lets make that hairdo just a little shorter, maybe a little wilder on top, take out all the shine, put in that beach worthy look and BAM awesome, stud-summer-hair. All the baby face badasses who choose to go for a shorter version cannot live without a pair of SUPERretro-future sunglasses, obviously... and the matte wax. Who dares to leave his hair a little longer on top, will be happiest with the combo beach texture spray/ matte wax. If you have any questions, or if you just realized you need to change your hairstyle. Give me a call or find me in the store. Peace out, keep rocking!

Dani foffa started his passion working on vintage bikes in 2007 from his tiny flat whilst keeping his day job in the city. In 2009 he quit his job and took a risk to follow his passion and teamed up with photographer tyson sadlo to create foffa bikes. They then opened a shop in east london along with a few more passionate cyclist friends. Since then foffa bikes have launched 4 customisable models, the `gears', the single speed `prima', the women's `grazia' and the urban concept `ciao'. They also have their range of high quality parts and are taking frame customisation to the next level with their range of designer stickers. Best of all, FOFFA bikes are now, exclusively available at YOUR, 30 31 YOUR PEOPLE Alain Ken You might have noticed this guy at our Gadget and Book Department and if you haven't met him yet, he has probably drove past you at least once on one of his fixies. We're talking about one of our dearest staff members, Ken. An energetic dude who keeps the positive vibe alive at any given moment. We had a little Q&A with him, but if you still want to meet him...just pass by YOUR or chase him on one of his bikes! Y: K: How did you start working at YOUR? What did you bring here? I have always liked YOUR, even before i worked here. For me it was like a store where you could easily enter and walk around to spend some free time. I've worked in the reataurant-business for a couple of years, but i kind of grew out of it and at some point i saw the application-poster at YOUR. Contacted the manager and a couple of days later i was working at YOUR! Ken travels everyday by bike. But not just a bike... Tell us a bit more about your bike(s) and why you love riding it. The feeling i have is so hard to explain. It's just a strong and absurd feeling of freedom and control while i'm riding my bikes. I love to ride fixed gear, which means that you ride single speed and have no brakes! Every day i look forward riding one of my bikes to work and returning home after a busy day. I try to find new routes every time, take detours to more quiet alleys and free my mind while others are stuck in traffic. I love the movement and rhythm of the city. Is it a coincidence that the amount of fixed gear books has increased at our Gadget and Book Dept. since you started working here? The fact that the books about biks have increased that much is because of the good taste of our store Guv'nor Jorrit. Maybe he just couldn't ignore that i'm always talking about bikes... But it's probably because you simply can't ignore the bike anymore. So i think it was the right time to get some interesting lecture and put it in the right place, our Book Department. After all, the bike is still one of the most loved tranportvehicles in Belgium! Be amazed! It's obvious that the bike-messenger look needs tattoos. Tell us a bit more about your tats? Where did you get them? What's the story? All of my tattoos have a story behind them. I will only get inked when there actually is a meaning behind it. Most of the drawings on my skin are things i will and can't ever forget. On one of my calves there's written: "sic transit gloria mundi" which is a Latin sentence for "Thus passes the glory of the world". A sentence that reminds me to stop dreaming and just be myself without thinking that the world is at my feet. Other tat's are an anglerfish, mermaids and a gingerbreadman. All of them have a specific and personal meaning. Y: K: Simple pine tables and stools outside offer a rustic counterpoint to the 300-euro sunglasses and trim Ann Demeulemeester tank tops worn by the style-conscious crews sitting at them. The menu swings in the same range -- from hearty stoofvlees (savory beef stew) to tuna steak served rare with mint pesto. Yes, we're talking about the lovely restaurant across YOUR; `Chez Fred'. In the cosy "Kloosterstraat" in our dearest A-town, you can find this unique and heartwarming restaurant `Chez Fred'. Alain loves to welcome you with his young, vibrant and super motivated team. Y: A: Can you tell us a bit more about the evolution of the Kloosterstraat for the past 5 years and which role `Chez Fred' and YOUR has in it. The concept of the Kloosterstraat has, as far as i can remember, always been popular. It used to be all about the antique-shops and the Montmarte-feel, but since 2 years it has changed a lot because of YOUR and Chez Fred. People visit the Kloosterstraat especially to go to YOUR and take the cosyness of the antique-shops as a plus. Those "new" visitors have had it with the busy shoppingarea and now enjoy a unique experience in Antwerp with some shopping at YOUR and a lovely lunch at `Chez Fred'. Our clients can enjoy the Parisian atmosphere in our French-like bistro with the best food and service they can get and together with the unique YOUR-experience. What's the power of "Chez Fred"? The first thing that comes to mind is the ratio quality and quantity. We serve our clients delicious dishes that aren't tiny and best of all: the price is right. A great plus about "Chez Fred" might also be the coffee. As a trained barista I do everything I can to serve a great espresso or cappuccino with a nice Latte-Art drawing. This all combined, added with a great vibe from our staff and the well known quiet terrace, will make your day/stay in Antwerp worth while. What's THE DISH at "Chez Fred"? Tuna steak, no doubt. We serve every dish made with care for the product, but if there's one thing you have to state as the best dish it's definitely the 2 versions of Tuna Steak. The well known "stoofvlees" and steak with fries used to be the reason why people came to us, but one of my favourites stays the Tuna Steak. www.chezfred.be -- Kloosterstraat 83 200 Antwerpen 03/257.14.71 -- 7/7 open from 10 .00 til they close Y: K: Y: K: Y: A: Y: A: www.your-antwerp.com A selection of damn fine products by Kloosterstraat 90, Antwerpen.

A week after the MHRM paper leak, the TYBCom students of the University of Mumbai had another tough day on Monday when the direct and indirect taxes paper delayed by 30 minutes to 75 minutes at many centres due to a technical glitch. The exam which was scheduled at 11 am started only between 11:30-12:15 at 80 centres out of 204 centres across six districts.
Several colleges complained that the varsity didn't send them the password in time and hence they couldn't open the weblink of the paper. Out of 204 centres, the exam was delayed while nearly 5,000 students had a tough time dealing with their anxiety and frustration at the varsity. "We thought that this paper was also leaked," said a student at Agrawal College at Kalyan from where the MHRM paper was leaked.
The controller of exam, Padman Deshmukh denied the paper leak and attributed the exam delay to the "glitch in cloud". 'The cloud system was slow hence the password which we sent to the colleges by the internet didn't deliver on time." Deshmukh also said that varsity earlier used to send the password an hour and half before. However, after a paper leak, the password is being sent at 9:45 which also added to chaos.

Gnome Panel is Alive
// February 5th, 2013 // Free Software
The death of Gnome Panel
Gnome Panel (or more properly, gnome-panel) is the main dock that you would see in the Gnome 2 series desktop, and in the Gnome Fallback session (also called Gnome "Classic" in many distributions) in Gnome 3.
To provide the typical desktop experience, it's also accompanied by Nautilus and Metacity along with a few other libraries (hence forth, gnome-panel's friends). Gnome Panel and friends have recently been deprecated so that developers have more time to focus on Gnome Shell, the new default shell for Gnome that has a vastly simplified (and better) technology stack. Last November, Vincent Untz announced that he would stop maintaining Gnome Panel and friends beyond the 3.6 release, which means the death for it unless anyone else takes it up.
Then What
I've been an avid user of the Gnome 2.x series and also Gnome Fallback in the 3.x series. I've gotten rather good at supporting it too. We include it by default in Edubuntu, and even have an option in the installer to make it the default for installations over Unity. It provides a low-footprint, fast and simple desktop experience with very reasonable usability, while being very configurable and lockdownable. (my spell check says that's not a word, but I don't care).
I've been considering whether we should switch to having Xfce or LXDE as an alternative to Unity, but after discussing it with other Edubuntu contributors, it became clear that if I wanted to do that, I'd have to be willing to maintain it for Edubuntu by myself. In Edubuntu we've been pretty good at having at least 2 people being interested in any side-project we pick up and I like to keep it that way if we can. It means that if someone gets a bit busy, there's someone who can pick up the slack for a little while. Also, Xfce and LXDE had big holes in usability, especially when it came to things like having multiple displays and running on laptops. I decided to put that project on the backburner a little since Ubuntu 13.04 will still be using Gnome 3.6, which meant that we'd have the Fallback session for one more release anyway.
The Inevitable Fork
Ikey Doherty forked off Gnome Panel to create a new environment called Consort. Metacity is forked to become Consortium. The website where the Consort desktop environment used to live seems gone now, but here's a link to some screenshots from Google+.
This caused a bit of a stir, Vincent Untz posted a good chronology of what lead up to it and why he believes that a fork is a bad idea when the Gnome project has effectively put the upstream code up for adoption.
I've been interested in the Consort family since it could potentially be something that we could use in Edubuntu once the upstream gnome-panel is no longer in the archives. Also, while Gnome Shell, KDE Plasma Desktop and Unity are great and have come incredibly far in terms of stability and performance, it's just not always for me. I want to be able to use it for myself in virtual machines, older machines and some other special cases (most notably, on LTSP).
Josselin Mouette, maintainer of Gnome in Debian, approached Ikey after some requests have been made for it in Debian. If you've read the post and the IRC logs linked, then you'll probably agree that it could've gone a lot better. I'm not on the SolusOS IRC channel so only saw the conversation after the fact, but I was disappointing since it would need to go into Debian if I'd want to support it in Edubuntu. I think both Josselin and Ikey could've handled it better, but humans are just that and emotions and misunderstandings happen.
And so I Bite
I was chewing a bit on Josselin's comment on how the former maintainer "maintainer decided to give the key to anyone who wanted to" and it's been several weeks since Vincent invited people to take over maintainership. I decided that I'd at least be willing to do the absolute minimum just to keep the project releasable every six months so that it can be included in distributions, maintain its online presence pages, bug tracker status and keep up with component changes in the stack. So I e-mailed Vincent and explained what I'm willing to do. I had very little resistance, Vincent sent an email out to other people who are steakholders in the gnome-panel project and after a week, there were no objections. So here I am, brand new maintainer of the Gnome Fallback session and its components!
This means that the project is, at least for now, alive again. It's not going to be part of the official Gnome 3.8 release (I still have to figure out exactly what that means), but there will be a 3.8 release of Gnome Panel and friends as tarballs and for people who maintain it in distributions, things will continue to work exactly as it did before.
Short-term Goals
- My complete primary goal for this at the moment is to ensure that gnome-panel, metacity, etc is releasable alongside the Gnome 3.8 release. This basically means making sure it builds, including any patches that we can and releasing.
Medium-term Goals
- Do something about the long buglist. The Gnome bug tracker has an ugly long list of gnome-panel bugs (939 at my last count). I want to eliminate all the stale Gnome 2.x gnome-panel bugs of which a very large amount of them are no longer relevant (at least on first glance). Then I'd like to do some regular posts to the mailing list and blog about a few prominent bugs every now and again and try to fix them and get people involved.
- Porting Metacity to GTK3. So here's a bit of really good news. Josselin is also involved with this and one of his mid-term goals is to port metacity to gtk3. It's something that I know would have to happen, but I don't have the skills to do that (yet) and I'm glad that he has took this up. Josselin's mid-term goals also include possibly adding support for the new notification system (if necessary) and adding support for the new Gnome global menu.
- Create a nice project page with goals and to-do list, who's envolved and what they're doing and encourage more people to get involved. The current page is rather outdated so it would be nice to fix it. For now that mostly involved bringing the Gnome Panel Gnome Wiki page up to date.
Long-term Goals
- My pet peeve… intelligent launcher icons. Windows 7, Mac OS X, KDE, Unity and Gnome Shell have docks that work very similarly in many ways. You click on a launcher and those same launcher entries are recycled as your window list. Gnome Panel is a bit old fashioned in this regard. Many people use 3rd party panels and launchers just to get around this. I have thought for a long time that this should be fixed in Gnome Panel and long-term, it's something that I'd like to see happen.
- Make the stack as downstream-friendly as possible. Regarding Ikey and Consort, I don't actually think it was a completely horrible idea at the time. We live in a free world where we use free software and anyone is allowed to do whatever they want and fork whenever they want, and while that doesn't necessarilly mean it's a good idea, it also doesn't mean that we need to get all hissy about it. I'd actually be very interested in working with people who want to fork and find out why they want to fork and try to reel them in closer to upstream. In the case of Consort, I think it would be most beneficial for both projects and all their users if Consort was a branch of Gnome Fallback, rather than a fork. Both projects use Git, FFS. I'll reach out and try to minimize duplication of effort while not blocking anyone on experimenting with new features or implementing distro-specific changes.
- More metacity features. Metacity's compositing features have come quite a long way, there are still a few bugs that need to be sorted out, but more than that, there are many window manager features that users have become accustomed to in pretty much all the other environments. Ikey has indicated previously that he wants to do this for consortium. It's one of the reaons I'll be super-nice to him because I'd really prefer that he submit as much of that upstream as possible.
- Make everything worth configurable and lockdownable. There are some settings that I get requests from from the users I support so often that it's just getting boring. The Gnome 2.x series proved to work well in educational and corporate environments. I say we should play on that strength and make it even more so, while sticking 100% with the Gnome Human Interface Guidelines, of course.
Very Long-term Goals
Well, the fact is, Gnome Fallback will die. There's a new project called Gnome Legacy, it implements a Gnome 2.x-like experience in Gnome 3. As time goes by, older machines become more powerful and the missing pieces will be implemented and eventually there would be no more good reason for anyone to want to run what we now know as Gnome Fallback. I think it could still have a good 3-5 years or maybe even more in it. Who knows, by then Gnome 4 might even be in development and all of this will be ancient history.
So, my very quick "Eek, I'm now maintainer of Gnome Panel!" post has become quite lengthy post, if you have any questions, I'll respond to it in the comments.

I'ts really good to know that you are willing to implement the SolusOS patches upstream. I think that Consort is a great effort and represents the ideas of freedom that we strive to maintain, but I also agree that duplication of effort should be eliminated as much as possible.
Gnome panel is actually more useful for people with accessibility needs and older people migrating from other proprietary environments. Thank you and best of luck for your efforts :)
I hope this is successful. I have one machine on gentoo stable (still has gnome2) and one on F18 with MATE. I have no strong attachment to any of the particular methods of keeping GNOME2 style desktop going, but eventually it will have to be something that uses GTK3.
Have you had a look at the work done in the MATE project. They have made some progress towards removing deprecated libraries, which might be useful for you.
Congrats! That's a big step dude. I hope it works out well for you. I've looked at that code, you're a braver man than me :-)
I do most of my linuxy stuff in VMs due to the nature of my work and I can tell you that even though I do enjoy Unity and Gnome 3, I really just want a solid 2D Gnome interface.
I and many others have been using XFCE on multiple-monitors setups as well as big and small laptops for a long time, so I'd be interested in knowing why it's not usable. I must have been dreaming all this time…
Thank you very much for offering to do this. I've found Metacity with no effects to run just as light as xfwm, and almost as light as Openbox.
This is also much easier to integrate into a home PC environment where one user may want Unity while another user may want a "classic" DE.
I was very cautious about that when I wrote this:
I can't help at all with development but you can count on me to help with testing.
@nemoinis is that a static setup or do you regularly plug and unplug monitors. Does xfce remember how you previously arranged that monitor? if your combined monitors are non-rectangular does it constrain the mouse to stay in the visible area?
I think last time i tried xfce would hotplug the monitor, but assumed that i always wanted it to the right, so everyday i configure it to be above.
Congratulations! I'm very happy to hear gnome-panel will be maintained. I wish you all the best.

> My pet peeve… intelligent launcher icons.
In the Gnome 2 days, there was a panel applet called Talika which performed this task very well : http://sourceforge.net/projects/talika/
Maybe a good starting point ?
Anyway, thank you for your work on Gnome Classic, and good luck.
Hey Jonathan,
I tried sending you a mail. I would like to help, but I didnt get any reply. Please let me know what I can do to support Gnome panel?
Btw i had a look at the talika code. Its quite a lot of code because it seems the developers copy/pasted a lot of code from libwnck and metacity into their codebase. That makes it quite complicated to maintain it or even port it to gtk+3, it is probably way easier to port some of the features over to my window-picker-applet.
Hi, I'm a user of gnome-pannel for a long time, I'm still using it on ubutnu 12.10 but I can't in 13.04 because of lot of bugs never fixed and some window lost focus problems that doesn't allow me to close apps and I have to use alt+f4, I reported some bugs to ubuntu in the past about gnome-panel and I would like to know if is still alive? Bests
"Also, Xfce…had big holes in usability, especially when it came to things like having multiple displays and running on laptops."
I'm stumped here. Can you explain specifically what you mean?
THANKS!! I love gnome-fallback, and for a lot of educational purposes, it is absolutely crucial to keep going. I work on a project where Edubuntu is being deployed at secondary schools, and to maintain relevance, it is important to have a DE that gives the user an impression of what basic, classic window management is. This should practice the skills that are relevant for most office work, and Unity and standard Gnome3 can always be practised on top of that for the sake of making the students more adaptive.
Benjamin, FAIR
With Trusty vUDS approaching next week I must ask; will Edubuntu continue supporting "gnome-panel + metacity" for LTSP installs in Trusty?
That would be a blessing for me personally ;^)
Thanks. Happy user of Gnome Flashback under Ubuntu 13.10. And nemo as the default file manager. The perfect linux distro :-)
What is the status of this as relates to Trusty? Our elementary school computer lab has been running smoothly on XRDP with gnome-session-fallback (Precise) for about a year. With the end of support for Precise, we need to find a way to move to Trusty and maintain our precious XRDP accessibility. Is there any way to get this working? Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

When we got there the crowd was pleasantly thin. I breathed a sigh of relief, not because it was empty but because we had survived the transition of home to museum in one piece and we made it without too many melt downs, band-aides, bathroom trips, changes of clothes, last minute diaper changes, spills and G-d only knows what else.
We are fortunate to have a beautiful Children's Museum relatively close by with lots of things for the kids to do. We walked in and hung up our coats. The children were so excited! Immediately the older children began to shepherd the younger ones to different parts of the museum and excitedly showed them all of activities that they could do. It was really cute to see. Sruly had an absolute blast. He looked like any other typical child, completely enjoying himself running around, exploring and letting the other kids show him "the ropes" with a big smile on his face. He thoroughly enjoyed touching, feeling, running, jumping and simply being a part of it all.
An hour later we found ourselves in the jumping room. This was a cavernous room with an equally large tunnel shaped moon bounce. The kids had a blast (I'm not sure who had the biggest smile - the kids or me watching them)! This was probably Sruly's favorite activity. After about 20 min on the moon bounce, one of my boys, who is known to be a real tough guy, came limping over to me crying. Just for the record, this is a child who never ever cries unless something is very wrong. Judging from his reaction and the look on his face, I knew immediately that our next stop was most probably going to be what we are beginning to think of as our second home - the emergency department of Children's Hospital. It just so happened that as he was exiting the tunnel, his foot somehow managed to find and wedge itself in the only exposed space in the entire moonbounce, a gap five and a half inches wide between the main structure and the landing mat. As his body continued forward his leg stayed put and twisted. I found myself on the phone with my husband who was five exhibits over begging him to drop - I mean grab everything and high tail it to the moonbounce room. As my husband sat there examining my son's foot and making the determination that it would be a while until the two of them would see the cozy interior of home that evening, the staff of the museum came over with an incident report form for us to fill out and a wheel chair to bring our now immobile child to the van.
Before leaving the lobby I made a quick head count to make sure we were all together.... Well to make a short story a bit shorter, I kept coming up with one child more then I thought we should have. This wasn't so bad, only that I honestly thought we had one child less then that in our family. When do I need to start worrying that I am loosing it? After counting the children for the fifth time I began to think, well, maybe I really do have that many kids! When did that happen?? ...But I could have sworn we had one less than I had counted.... So I counted again, and again I came up with one extra child! I was dumbfounded. How on earth?!?! Seriously, I could have sworn we were not up to that number just yet.
While I was re-counting and trying to de-clultter my infamous mommy brain, my husband was talking with the nervous staff about what had happened. I counted one more time and my eyes landed on the sleeping child in the stroller who was covered with coats. I checked to make sure he or she was still breathing under the mountain of goose feathers and it was then that I discovered that it was nothing more than a pile of coats. At this point my patience were beginning to run thin. I had counted the children a dozen times by then and had asked them to put on their coats at least half of that, but the only thing that they seemed interested in was how fast the wheel chair could take a corner without tipping and spilling its' occupant flat out on the floor.
Miracle of miracles, we made it to the car without any additional tears (or broken bones for that matter). On the way home my husband called the ER to find out which attendings were on for that shift. (Not that it would make a difference either way, being that my husband pretty much knows ALL of them on a first name basis, thanks to our "ever so passively calm and quiet" dear children).
After settling the rest of the family at home, my husband and our now immobile former Mexican jumping bean headed to what I am absolutely now convinced to be our home away from home - aka Children's Hospital.
After the standard routine examinations and x-rays he was given the diagnosis (of which my husband had already bet our life savings on what it would be well before we had even left the museum) of a fractured tibia (thank G-d for little things), which would need to be set and casted. Under normal circumstances this would render him pretty much immobile for the next eight weeks. However, once he figured out that he could drop his wheel chair and crutches and still ride his scooter, skate board, bicycle and play hockey without too much pain, he considered himself a free man. Six weeks, three shredded casts and a rather relieved chief of orthopedic surgery later, he was given the "all clear" to resume his "normal" daily activities.
"What??!" I said, when the two of them came home. "They sent you home without a rocker boot?? Do they know how active this child is???! He is going to break it again before tomorrow morning! He hasn't used those muscles in 8 weeks and they think that this is a typical child who will just ease those muscles back into use slowly and gently! Well they will be seeing him again!"
Sure enough, 4 hours after my husband and son returned from the hospital, they were on their way back once again with a freshly re-injured leg. This time, however, they had the sense to send him home with a rocker boot. After another six weeks and a rocker boot that was shredded and worn down to the metal base plate we had a healed and happy young man who was ready to do it all over again....

Before our son realized that he could get around just fine without his wheel chair and crutches.

I was wondering if anyone has ever used vinegar to help with the healing process after birth (6 weeks). I was told that I should try this vaginal rinse (I forgot the name) but it has iodine in it and its suppose to help heal the vagina quicker after birth so that I can do simple things like sit down and be comfy. Has anyone ever tried to use vinegar instead? If so, how did it work for u? Thanks!!!
Vinegar for afterbirth vaginal wash???

Um that just sounds wrong. Is vinegar in douches? Cuz I know women are not suppose to use vaginal douches. Using a squirt bottle with warm water while going potty works well! Doing sitz baths work too.
I would definately talk to your dr before deciding to use anything!
Jodi~Jamie 11/6/04
ive always been told your never supposed to put anything to clean or wash up there, it messes with the natural pH and can cause infections which would probably slow healing. it seems counterintuitive

I agree, vinager would defintely sting!! I wouldn't try it. I had a periwash bottle that I filled with warm water and a little bit of Betadine. It really helped when peeing too! I would just squeeze the bottle over the area while I went to the bathroom and so it didn't sting as well. Plus, I would take a bath in Epsom Salts every night. I tore in two places and all that stuff helped me heal pretty well. : )
No. But adding witch hazel to the squirt bottle for during/after you pee is amazing! Plus freezing a witch hazel soaked pad is really nice because it help with swelling as well.

That sounds painful.
My midwives ordered me am herbal mixture to brew some tea with...then I pour the tea into some maxi pads, and freeze them. They are wonderful for postpartum soreness and swelling and the herbal mixture helps with healing.

Ouch! I had my son 16 years ago and that particular burning pain makes I me cringe even now. Find a nice open cut and put vinegar on it and then skin your knee on the concrete and put vinegar on it... I would try that first and see if it feels ok... but I am thinking no...
Ok...The stuff I have is Betadine but it has iodine in it and it says that it could interfere with my breastmilk somehow. I would NEVER put anything inside of me after delivery, I only wanna try the spray bottle thing. And those freeze pads sounds soothing too lol. But Idk anyone else who has used Betadine.

The Deer Fly (Chrysops spp.), also known as the "yellow fly", is a fly of the family Tabanidae that can be a pest to cattle, horses, and humans. It is often found in damp environments, such as wetlands or forests. It lays clusters of shiny black eggs on the leaves of small plants by water. The aquatic larvae feed on small insects and pupate in the mud at the edge of the water. The Deer Fly...

Spain, France gain spots in Euro basketball final
KAUNAS, Lithuania Tony Parker has France one win away from its first European championship.
Parker scored 22 points to lead his team past Russia 79-71 Friday and set up a European championship final against defending gold medalist Spain.
With the win, France is also back in the Olympics for the first time in 12 years.
"I've been chasing this for 11 years and I'm very happy that I can finally say I'm going to the Olympics," Parker said. "I had tears in my eyes when the buzzer came and I knew we'd won the game."
Juan Carlos Navarro scored 35 points in a performance his coach called a "masterpiece" as Spain beat Macedonia 92-80 in the first semifinal on Friday.
The European championship finalists automatically qualify for next year's London Games.
The next four teams go to an additional qualifying tournament. Greece beat Serbia 87-77 earlier to join Lithuania, Macedonia and Russia in that group.
In its most recent appearance at the Olympics, France won the silver medal at the 2000 Sydney Games and Parker led the country's Under-18 team to the European title.
France, which also got 19 points from Nicolas Batum, reached the championship game for the first time. It won silver in 1949, but the tournament was played in a different format and did not have a final.
France won bronze medals in 1995 and 2005.
"It was our year and we played great tonight," Parker said.
Parker was the MVP of that junior team in 2000. He has gone on to win three NBA titles with the San Antonio Spurs, including being the MVP of the 2007 finals, and has been selected to three NBA All-Star games.
Tied at 45, France went on a 10-2 run to finish the third quarter for a 55-47 lead.
The lead stayed in double digits into the fourth when Ali Traore scored to make it 61-49. He had eight points in that key run.
"We know Ali is a huge potential offensively and we use him to score," France coach Vincent Collet said.
"Our goal was to qualify for the Olympics and we played our best game. We controlled all the best assets of the Russian team and the rebounding, especially Batum."
Batum's seven rebounds helped France control the boards against Russia, which was undefeated until the semifinal.
"Tony was Tony, but the guy who really hurt us was Batum, he made big plays at big times," Russia's American coach David Blatt said.
Batum, who plays for the NBA's Portland Trail Blazers, had a three-point play for a nine-point late in the fourth. He also had a drive for a dunk for a 75-66 lead and grabbed a big offensive rebound with less than a minute remaining.
Andrei Kirilenko led Russia with 21 points.
Pau Gasol, of the Los Angeles Lakers, had 22 points and 17 rebounds for Spain.
Navarro scored 19 points in the third quarter to break open the game. Spain coach Sergio Scariolo did not hold back in praising his point guard.

Japan to start building underground ice wall at Fukushima
Published on Jun 2, 2014 12:22 PM
TOKYO (AFP) - Japan will on Monday start constructing an underground ice wall at the crippled Fukushima nuclear plant, freezing the soil under broken reactors to slow the build-up of radioactive water, officials said.
The wall is intended to block groundwater from nearby hillsides that has been flowing under the plant and mixing with polluted water already there.
The Nuclear Regulation Authority, the national watchdog, last week gave the go-ahead to beginning the construction of the ice wall at Fukushima No.1, owned and operated by Tokyo Electric Power Co (Tepco).
The government-funded scheme will see pipes laid deep in the soil through which refrigerant will be piped to create the 1.5km frozen wall that will stem the inflow of groundwater.

North Umpqua Trail (The NUT) -
Revered as one of the International Mountain Bicycling Association's Epic Rides, the North Umpqua trail system sits near the southern terminus of the mighty Cascade Range and features dramatic Pacific Northwest riding. Start at Swiftwater Park and pedal east up into the mountains on the 16-mile stretch of the Tioga Trail, passing over many bridges as you wend your way through thick, old-growth Douglas Fir forests. Some of the trees are more than six feet in diameter.
A short, easier stretch on the Mott Trail brings you down near the North Umpqua River, where salmon and steelhead can be seen migrating from June to October. From there, jump onto the Panther Trail, which features many spectacular and exposed faces high above the riverbed.
You've now reached the mid-point, and it's decision time. Either turn around and gain a new perspective on the Panther Trail, or veer onto the Riverview Trail – either way will get you toward home. For the truly hardy, the complete North Umpqua trail totals 79 miles in length, divided into segments of no more than 16 miles. It rises to the spine of the Cascade Range, where it connects with the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail. Trailhead: The North Umpqua Trail is located approximately 12 miles east of Roseburg in the Umpqua National Forest. Length: Up to 79 miles Elevation: 2,500-4,500 feet Terrain: Mostly single-track over rolling terrain in old-growth forest.

Critical Essay by Pearl K. Bell
James Michener's long and earnest novels … have not been found worthy of even the most casual mention in serious studies of contemporary American fiction, and neither do they appear on college-literature reading lists. None of this has made a particle of difference to his readers….
Michener's panoramic chronicles are a very different breed of fiction from the classic schlock … that ordinarily hogs the best-seller list, for Michener's novels are short on sex and long on facts. Though he enlivens and simplifies the dusty record of the past by means of invented characters, incidents, and dialogue, and has a canny respect for the allure of romance and melodrama, his plots are braced with a solid rigging of expert knowledge about the history, archeology, religion, language, geology, wildlife, agriculture, and specialized social and economic lore of the...

Burlingame state park: Rhode Island Camping
Wonderful and peaceful this camp ground consists of over seven hundred campsites. Although this seems like a lot it really doesn't deter from the grounds. It is well kept, clean and friendly. Sites are $17.00 for residents of Rhode Island and $20.00 for non residents. Showers are 25 cents for 2.5 minutes but have plenty of presure. There is a campstore on th egrounds although I didn't visit it since we were only there for a night.
On the banks of Watchaug Pond the state park has two entrances one for camping and one for scouts and picnic areas. Cabins are also available they sleep 4 with 2 bunk beds for $35. per night see picture below.

Photo gallery: In S. Korea's "Exam Village" young voters yearn for change
Published on Dec 19, 2012 5:30 AM
SEOUL (REUTERS) - Living on US$2 (S$2.44) bowls of rice in rows of tiny rooms, thousands of young South Koreans are voting early ahead of Wednesday's presidential election as they cram for exams that they hope will lead to a government job for life.
There are 30,000 residents of a drab neighbourhood of the South Korean capital known as Exam Village, where people preparing for tests for low-level civil service jobs have gravitated for years.
There is a growing sense of frustration among the young in a country where there are simply not enough jobs to go round, especially for graduates of less prestigious universities whose options are largely limited to the public sector.
