Ubuntu 11.04: an OS for your mum
The world is a big place, and it seems of no coincidence that Canonical's offices sit 27 floors up in the Millbank Tower with a 360-degree view of it right in the middle of London. Canonical is the parent company of the most popular distribution free, open-source computer operating system known as Linux, and if there's one thing between them and their broad horizons, it's Windows.
Since 2004 Ubuntu has offered users another way when it comes to their PCs, but with that way one of unfamiliar applications, no hotline support and less compatibility than one might get with Microsoft, it's been largely ignored by the mainstream computer owner. According to Canonical, however, with the launch of the latest version, Ubuntu 11.04, all of that is about to change.
"There's no real choice for an alternative OS at the moment," director of communications at Canonical Gerry Carr tells us as he walks Pocket-lint through the redesigned software codenamed Natty Narwhal.
"For the first time, Ubuntu is ready for consumers who are used to a PC experience. We just need people to give it a fair crack and then we're hoping to see it pre-installed."
While versions of Linux made an appearance on early netbooks not powerful enough to run Windows when the little laptop first arrived a few years back, Ubuntu 11.04 has been created with a higher resolution, big screen machine in mind. The more user friendly Unity interface, which debuted on the previous version of Ubuntu, 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat), is now upscaled for full-sized machines and is even touch-ready in case the tablet manufacturers decide to come calling.
"There are prototypes in existence," confesses Carr, "but no Ubuntu tablets available at the moment."
One reason, of course, is that with Android in existence, the tablet makers seem to need look no further, but it's not the answer for all the manufacturers according to Carr. The problem lies for those in the PC market looking to get in on the latest hardware trend that is, rather than those from the mobile handset space. The issue is one of coherency across devices and a reason why many have been keen to offer Windows instead.
"They can't use iOS or BlackBerry OS and Android leaves them stuck on one machine, so Windows is the trap. Their profits on the hardware become marginalised in order to afford to package in the Windows licence which they know that the consumer wants and needs. With 11.04, we want to create an alternative demand so that the OEMs [original equipment manufacturer] see a genuine interest and genuine market."
The fly in the ointment, of course, might be Google's plans with Chrome OS, something which would certainly be a better fit on a laptop as a companion device to an Android tablet, and that could well prove more attractive to the manufacturers rather than an operating system that's so often associated with a fair degree of confusion for the casual user.
Whether it's the fact that it's not a perfect fit from one to the other or because of Chrome OS's cloud-based approach, Carr dismisses the threat with a quick "we've taken a look at what Google are doing but it doesn't seem quite right".
So what is it that Canonical thinks Ubuntu has to offer this time around which will convince both the users and the laptop making industry that it's time to make the switch?
"People don't quite believe how far into the mainstream we want to push this. It's a product for someone's mum. That's not something we would have said 2 years ago.
"It's for someone who uses a PC at work and has one at home which they use to Skype the kids, email, watch iPlayer, browse the web, word processing and other basic office admin, and that's about the extent of it."
While it's a great idea on paper - a light-weight, no cost OS - the trouble is that there's a world of familiar desktop apps that people will no longer be able to use, but while Google continues to push the idea of computing through your browser, an increasing reliance on universally accessible web apps can only be a good thing for Ubuntu.
Until the practice becomes more prevalent, Canonical has redesigned the look of its leading software project and, from the off, it's created something all the more attractive to its target market. Gone is the brown desktop and in is a decidedly Mac-looking purple effect complete with a friendly launcher bar at the side of the screen - the first elements of the Unity interface that greet you. To give the team its dues though, that's where the similarity ends with the key focus of the UI all about search.
While it's perfectly possible to follow file trees to find whatever it is you're after, Ubuntu 11.04 introduces a search dash, the idea being that you just start typing your desire and up pops the relevant icon - be that an app you already own or one you can download from the software centre. It's not a new concept. Both Windows and Mac OS have the same thing delivered as a smaller piece of screen real estate, but for Ubuntu it's the main tool that Canonical wants you to use.
"We're trying to move away from the traditional file and folder menus; more that you type in what you want and it appears," explains Carr.
"We want to take the burden of administration away from the user. There's no need to remember where everything is. Just put it on the PC. Think how many people save onto the desktop because they don't know where to put it."
Combined with the idea of a software centre full of apps, the whole approach harks more to a smartphone than any other laptop computer OS at the moment, something of which the Ubuntu developers are very much aware.
"People are more and more familiar with this kind of look and feel and it's how they're used to interacting with devices."
Another potential big pull is Ubuntu One - the Dropbox-like cloud storage, syncing and streaming solution for those on the OS. Now headed by Roberta Nilerud, formerly of Spotify, it offers a music store as well as 2GB of free space to keep whatever you like. For an added $3.99 each month you can stream any audio you have in your locker to your iOS or Android device on the move via an app, plus an additional room should you be willing to pay for it. While you're still limited to playing only music that you own it's a low price if that's the kind of privilege that you're after, it's also complete with caching for those moments when you're out of coverage.
While a good handful of the standard apps are the same as you might use on your current desktop of choice - Firefox, Skype, VLC - there's still a few faces to get used to in the shape of Libre Office, Shotwell photo editor and the notoriously tricky but powerful image editor Gimp. For those desperate for a Windows supported application, they can always be run through the emulator Wine but it's not something those at Canonical recommend with the program "working well but not perfectly" and if it's iTunes you're after, that's apparently "a problem".
Another problem that's a lot more serious is the issue of PC gaming. Aside a bunch of casual games, you can forget about any of the big titles as compatible with Ubuntu or any form of Linux.
"Admittedly, gaming is one of those things," says Carr. "We'd love to bring gamers on board. There's a company in Brazil making games exclusively for Linux but, still, that's definitely one of the big barriers for people. As far as our target market for 11.04 goes, though, fortunately, your mum's unlikely to be a hardcore gamer."
Canonical has managed to add some back catalogue titles to Ubuntu which publishers have made available to them, and that's about as far as it's ever likely to go.
"I don't know if it will ever change. I think it's more likely that PC gaming will disappear than Ubuntu becoming a first tier gaming platform - and I don't think PC gaming will disappear."
What awaits for anyone who can stomach the changes and is willing to take the risk of something new is a system that'll boot up far quicker than Windows and one with no need for anti-virus.
"It's essentially virus free in any meaningful sense of the term," says Carr, outlining how, purely by numbers, it's just not worth writing malicious code for Linux.
"Ask our security team and they'll tell you that there were six virusus between 2006 and the present and none of them never made it anywhere."
Interestingly, it's just this kind of advantage that actually proves a hindrance for Canonical when trying to get its software to come packaged with PCs at point of sale.
"It's hard in retail because when you sell someone a PC, the next thing you do is sell them anti-virus. You can't do that with Ubuntu."
It's a similar story with peripherals. Linux simply isn't something that all the printer makers worry about.
"The other problem we face is having to explain to the sales staff exactly what Ubuntu is. So, we're working on some very simple presentations so that they don't have to read a bunch of documents to find out."
The cost of it all is that, currently, you only really get a choice of Linux on full sized PCs with Dell and in some of the developing markets, the latter of which has been an area of some contention. According to Carr, Microsoft gave Windows out as a free gift to a local district of schools in India. A few years later and the software giant told them it was to start paying for their licences. Most reluctantly coughed up but one school did stand firm and converted all their machines to Linux - an act which a further 1.8 million schoolchildren in the developing world will be following as they too change to Ubuntu in the coming months.
Whether in India, America or Europe, there's certainly a price argument to be had. "Do I want to continue to pay for upgrades to my OS?" is the question that Carr encourages the public to pose, but does that mean Linux and Ubuntu will become the preserve for knackered old PCs then?
"Yes, there is that danger," he agrees, "but our goal is not to be the cheap alternative. We want to be the desirable choice and that's why we've made the switch to be something that's easier to use and fun to use and functional as well. Competing on price is not something we've set out to do but, at the same time, there is a fundamental to make the best tech available to everyone for free."
"All we ask for is a fair playing field - an option to free install our OS with browsers. There's a notion prevalent that people only have one computer and it's a binary choice - Windows or Ubuntu, and that's not the case. Go to the website, install the software and try it out."

Preliminary information: All sins have consequences. These consequences are separate from the guilt of sin, which must be forgiven before the expiation of the consequences (through penitential acts and suffering) can take place.
The consequences of (already forgiven) sin may be expiated in this life and/or in the next. The process of expiation in the next life is called purgatory (or among Eastern Christians, theosis). Theologically, it is best seen as a process, not a "place." See CCC §1030–1032 concerning purgatory.
By performing a specified pious act. There is a book, called the Handbook of Indulgences, which lists the various ways a person can do this. Also, certain new or temporary indulgences are announced by one or more bishops each year. One such indulgence is the recently announced Indulgence for the Year of Priests.
No. It supplements that penance, to make up for any deficiency in the penitent's performance of the penance.
The merits involved in an indulgence are the merits (see CCC §2006–2011 concerning merits) of the saints themselves, which they freely give to the penitent to aid in the performance of penitential acts or enduring of suffering to expiate the consequences of the sins he has committed, to supplement what the penitent does. Recall that a specific pious act is required to gain an indulgence. Comparison: An indulgence is like a foundation grant that provides a stipend or specific educational opportunity to an individual student who qualifies. The pious act is his qualification, and the merits of the saints are the grant. The foundation that supplies the grant is the "spiritual treasury" of the Church through what we call the Communion of Saints (see the Apostles Creed).
The consequences of sin continue even after one is forgiven the sin. You see this in the parable of the Prodigal Son (Luke 15:11ff): The sinful son recognizes (vv. 19, 21) that he is "no longer worthy to be called your son." The father indeed celebrates his son's return with a banquet, but as we see in v. 31, the inheritance that remains belongs to the elder brother. The younger son has squandered his inheritance, and it is gone forever. So in this sense, he will suffer the deprivation as a consequence of his sin.
What an indulgence would perhaps do for the younger son is to make that deprivation bearable, so that at the end of his life he will have expiated the whole of his sin and not have to endure purgatory in addition. He can therefore pass directly to heaven. However, if the penitent son does not bear his burden well, he will not expiate the consequences (or, as we say, complete his penance) during his lifetime; therefore, he will have to expiate the remainder in purgatory. An indulgence can still help him there. It does so not by allowing the penitent to "spend less time" in purgatory, for the process exists outside of time, but by aiding the process of expiation.
As explained above, purgatory has to do not with the forgiveness of sin, but with the expiation of the consequences of sin. If a person expiates all of his (forgiven) sins before death, he does not need to do so in purgatory. (Forgiveness of sins — if we may refer back to the parable of the Prodigal Son mentioned above — is freely given by the Father of Mercies and cannot be merited. Expiation involves merit and/or suffering to offset fault and remains even after one's sins are forgiven.)
The Church requires only that mortal sins must be forgiven through the sacrament of penance. For venial sins, other means exist for their forgiveness (for instance, the penitential rite at the beginning of Mass), although they may also be forgiven through the sacrament. All sins, both venial and mortal, must be forgiven for one to be saved. The expiation of the consequences of one's sins, both venial and mortal, is a separate issue, as explained above.
Catholic Dan Marcum asked in the combox:
In your last two paragraphs you gave the impression that sins cannot be forgiven in purgatory but only expiated: "purgatory has to do not with the forgiveness of sin, but with the expiation of the consequences of sin. ... All sins, both venial and mortal, must be forgiven for one to be saved. The expiation of the consequences of one's sins, both venial and mortal, is a separate issue, [and may happen in purgatory.]"
I was under the impression that venial sin could not only be expiated in purgatory, but also forgiven there, if we die before repenting of it -- "Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven...either in this age or in the age to come." (Matt. 12:32) Otherwise, what happens to someone who steals a popsicle, and gets hit by a bus on his way out, before he repents?
The Church has no defined doctrine in this area. I have heard of the theological opinion you refer to, but do not think it takes into account the individual judgment, which must precede God's decision as to where an individual person belongs, nor the question of when forgiveness must occur.***
We know that venial sin of itself cannot adversely affect the salvation of a human being; this is dogma (Catechism of the Catholic Church §1863). Yet we also know that the purpose of purgatory is the expiation of previously forgiven sins. Forgiveness, therefore, must precede one's entrance into purgatory.
In the event of a venial sin committed but not repented of (and I think we see a lot of venial sins going unrepented for years in many people's lives), what decides the issue is the individual judgment immediately after death. A person either recognizes and repents of his venial sins at that point, or he definitively rejects God in an act of defiance. This provides God with a basis, first of forgiveness, then of judgment. With repentance, the soul would enter purgatory to expiate his now forgiven venial sins; with defiance, not only would his venial sins be retained, but an unrepentant mortal sin would be added, thus making his destination hell (CCC §1864). Therefore, I believe that venial sins not fully repented of in this life are allowed to be forgiven, not in purgatory, but at the judgment.
This idea has a modern witness in the Diary of St. Faustina Kowalska, wherein she states (as frequently affirmed by Fr. Benedict Groeschel, possibly referring to §83, §1146 and other passages) that every human being, at the time of death and judgment, is given a final opportunity, through God's mercy, to decide in favor of eternal life. If mortal sins can be forgiven at the time of the individual judgment, so also can venial sins.

After five years of baking in the California sun, our '86 Corvette wasn't very shiny or very black. In fact, it was dull and lacked any redeeming shine quality. We knew what we were getting into when we purchased the car for $3,000 some months ago, and we wondered if there was any way to liven up the paint short of a total repaint.
After thoroughly washing the surface, it was time to inspect the car for condition and assess what was possible. We purchased a proper car-washing soap, not a dishwashing liquid that would further damage the surface of the car. Frankly, the surface was so poor that anything short of bleach or lacquer thinner would not have been detrimental. But anyone who has a Corvette with any paint shine should use a proper car wash with a pH-balanced base.
We were working with the folks at Meguiar's, and we used its newest car wash soap, Quik Suds Car Wash Strips. Much like those mouthwash "tissues" that melt on your tongue, the strips dissolve in your wash bucket, ensuring the correct, premeasured amount of soap for the car-wash solution. We washed the car completely, away from the sun, to allow the surface to dry slowly. We used a sponge and car-wash mitt to clean the surface, which was then rinsed free of soap and debris. It was dried with a California Car Cover Water Blade and a Meguiar's Microfiber Drying Towel. The wheels and tires were cleaned, and the car was allowed to dry.
Ask The ExpertFor our paint resuscitation, Mike Phillips of Meguiar's came to the rescue. Our car was originally painted black, but had been repainted at least once. Clearly, the black paint was thick enough, but there were areas where it was scratched to the fiberglass. As you know, there's no cure for missing paint short of applying more. Mike can do some amazing things with paint, but he's not a magician.
"I can restore any paint job to its maximum potential," said Mike when he assessed what was possible for the black Corvette. "This is the most neglected and deteriorated paint I've ever encountered. In fact, I'd use 'horrific' to describe the condition of this car's finish."
At least we knew where we stood.
Finding The ShineMike began to "clay" the surface of the car. Claying involves the use of Meguiar's new reformulated clay, a soft, putty-like material that's wiped over the surface of the car. The clay removes debris trapped on the surface that wasn't removed during washing. The clay is turned and kneaded often to position a clean section over the surface.
You can't imagine the amount of debris we picked up with the clay. It was white and clean when we started, but soon turned black with dirt. It left no marks on the paint, whether the surface was good or poor.
Then we used Meguiar's ScratchX, which is made for all paints and works to remove minor swirls, scratches, and oxidation to restore the color and clarity inherent in all paint. ScratchX is a modern replacement for "old fashioned" rubbing and polishing compounds. Unlike wax, ScratchX should be removed after working a section, as it isn't necessary to allow it to dry.
In many locations, the paint was heavily faded especially those top-facing surfaces that had been exposed to countless hours of intense sunlight. Extra time was spent to work these areas. With a soft, 100 percent cotton terry-cloth towel (or Meguiar's Ultimate Wipe microfiber polishing cloth), the dried product was removed. Using the proper towel reduces scratches and aids in product removal.
In our case, the paint required a lot of polishing to bring out the shine, and we were amazed at the results. The surface was badly damaged from the sun and had swirl marks throughout, and the new polish removed the swirls and made the car appear more black. It was as if the paint had gone from gray to black.

What is something you do that makes you genuinely happy?
I want to know what makes you happy. An activity or something of that sort. Something you always look forward to and that you could see yourself doing all the time. If this thing is NOT your job, then I am curious to find out your reasoning of why it is not. I'll read and respond to all answers. I'm a 18 year old kid about to go into college and responding would really help me out. Thanks.
May 4 2013: Helping people makes me happy. It isn't my job because that career field doesn't exist.
May 4 2013: Hi Henry,
It does exist, I think, it's interdisciplinary. I don't know if there is a name for it though. Well said.May 5 2013: I think the same way of you Henry, i love help people, but from education... this is my pasion and, fortunately, my job. I'm really enjoy to give my students a diferent perspective, i love when the people open their mind and can imagine a different world... a better, and they can to propose something to change it. When i can do that in my students, thats really makes me happy...
Joao Lima
May 3 2013: Talking to people who I casually meet and make them laugh at something. Reflecting on the positive side of life, not paying much attention to the negative. Always seeing the humorous side of events. Observing nature in a beautiful park. A smile of child. Have the feeling that I learned something new.

May 6 2013: Unselfish Help to others makes me real happy and be with family and friends .....May 5 2013: I'm undergraduate in chemical engineering at one of the best programs in the country. After spending two years of watching friends struggle to pursue an engineering career they loved while others who easily succeeded discovered they were stuck in an engineering career they didn't want, I realized my calling was to change engineering education. Everyday since then, I've been happy when I'm pursuing this goal.

I'm not simply happy because I know what I'm supposed to do with my life. I'm happy because I know I will help other people and make their lives better. I'm happy because I am constantly able to interact with new people and hear their stories while sharing passions. I'm happy when I'm helping to improve other people's lives and I think that's what you should strive for in your career, relationships and life.May 4 2013: I am blissfully happy when someone reads my blog about my volunteer work with orphanages in Mexico and they volunteer to help the children when they vacation in those areas. The joy I see from the children's faces and the volunteers who connect with the children ripple out contagiously to their friends and relatives and who are also making trips to help the children. There is nothing that makes me happier than to know that these little kids who have no families now have food to eat and toys to play with. But most importantly, every person who goes to volunteer shares the most important gift of hugging the children and giving them attention that they so much need.May 3 2013: Play on field , not just sitting before your computer, and when your team wins and when your opponent gives a handshake to you saying " You played well " , it really makes you genuinely happyApr 10 2013: Hi Aidan. I know I couldn't live without hiking the hills and mountains at least once a week. I treat this as a kind of meditative thing, as an antidote to the noisy distractions of everyday life at work and at home. It has to be either with 1-2 like-minded people or on my own. However, it's much better on my own - more restorative, and I can spend time taking photos and sketching. I come home tired, but reinvigorated to face another week!
You ask why this is not my job - well, I have thought about photojournalism for outdoor magazines and newspapers, but there is massive competition, even as a freelancer. However, I do make a reasonable income from selling paintings and prints from my own artwork on the fine art market here in UK, and photography of the British mountain landscapes. But income is not why I do it - happiness has more value than money.
It sounds like tennis takes up a lot of your time, and it's a fantastic achievement to get where you have on the pro circuit. How many 'boxes' does that tick for you? Would you be able to carry on pursuing the tennis training schedule separate to the demands of college? What about your filming interests? Does that tick different boxes? What subjects have you chosen to study academically?
I think the secret to happiness is how one treats the times that aren't so good, and the resilience we develop against disappointment. The good times will then remain spontaneous (rather than 'designed') - and all the more profound for that.
Apr 11 2013: Allan thanks for your amazing response. I love the outdoors so your hobbies that are your outlets from everyday life are very similar to my interests. Tennis pretty much takes up all my time. When I am not training, I am doing schoolwork. I am still a senior in high school currently. In college I will have to find the balance between academics and tennis training because I'm forced to do both since it's a D1 tennis program and they have a very intensive training schedule. I train much more now than I will there, but I don't have nearly the amount of schoolwork I will have when I go to college.
As for what I will study. I'm leaning more and more towards the film and entertainment industry. It's tough because I know I'm decent at it and that if I put in the time and effort I could be really good, however its a really tough industry to make it in and sometimes that overwhelms me. For instance, I wanted to get into studying business or becoming a doctor because I thought I'd have a better chance of making good money doing that, but recently I've tried to get myself away from the money and more towards what I really would enjoy doing everyday. I have a ton of scripts written out for short films (around 5 minutes) that I would normally do but tennis just takes up a bit too much time.
Thanks a lot for your response though. I'd love to see some of your artwork.Apr 6 2013: I genuinely like helping other people.
I genuinely like going to garage sales with my wife.
I genuinely like designing gizmos and gadgets.
Apr 7 2013: im like Robert im the type of guy that can fix almost anything and when i have free time or if someone has an emergency i will help them. i dont take money. im kind of a conversationanist and i truly enjoy talking about things i have read learned or seen to others and hearing there take on it or stories about things from there life. but my accual hobby is hand crafting i carve on of a kind hand carved pens. its a wonderful feeling when each one is done and im left with a piece of are that has a use
Apr 7 2013: I would really like to see some of those pens. It sounds really interesting. I like helping people and being generous but I feel as though I do it in a selfish manner. That feeling you get when you successfully help someone out through an act of genuine kindness is indescribable. I do it for that feeling. I'm not sure if that takes away from the good deed, however it still gets done and more people are happy because of it.Apr 7 2013: Those are some really cool outlets. I've come to realize very quickly that everyone has there own unique hobby no matter what it entails. I also find it interesting that you've found that special someone (your wife) and how she is part of one of these activities that make you genuinely happy. I think that takes a really special relationship and, me being 18, I'm not there yet but I hope to have that sort of one someday. Thanks for your post!May 5 2013: Smiles are incredibly infectious.May 5 2013: I'm 21 years old, college student.
I've never thought whether I'm happy or not in my life.
But one thing I'm pretty sure is I have an ambition and I know it's not impossible to achieve it if I try hard. Nothing is too late.
When I think about this, I feel sort of happiness.

I'm an electronics technician and that's my job.
When I do it well, I'm happy. When I do it poorly, I'm sad.
Happiness is not some condition that just sits there continuously.
You have to constantly re-create it, over and over.
If you are sad (or happy) without doing anything obvious to create that, then you are nevertheless doing something to create that. Not all the things we do are we fully aware of. I learned that from LRH.
Another thing that makes me happy is to study the work of someone who obviously wanted to help others through his writings (or lectures). In a sense that is also fixing something (my ignorance) that was causing malfunctions.
I recommend the writings and lectures of Hubbard. Maybe studying them would make you happier, too.May 4 2013: Traveling. The rush I get from exploring and discovering new things never gets old. I don't travel professionally, but I have chosen to work for myself doing something that requires only a computer and Internet connection for the specific purpose of the freedom to spend my time how and where I please. Best of luck to you in discovering and expanding upon your passions as well. If you are still figuring out how you want to spend your life (or even if you have a plan already), I encourage you to be as open to new experiences and possibilities as you can be. You are entering a very critical (but exciting) time of your life, and how you choose to develop yourself now will have a lasting impact on your future.

Today is Kentucky Derby Saturday.
I am happy to be able to Handicap
this Horse Race and find the winner, before it is run.
As of this moment, I do not even know who is in the race.
It is about 11am here on the central coast of California.
I will soon have the winner selected.
That will make me genuinely happy.
For the last 12 years I have gotten it right 9 times.
It is NOT my job. I am retired.
I started 21 businesses and Cancer retired me.
I handicap by phone,
against another guy, everyday for the last 10 years.
From about 3pm until around 8pm.
We compete.
We never wager.
I used to think happiness was attached to money.
I find that not correct.
Do only that which makes you happy. Only that.
But rise at 4:30am and start to find your happiness.
Long before the sleepyheads awaken.
It is the only way to fly.
Successful people do those things unsuccessful people won't.May 4 2013: There are so many things that make me happy that I could spend hours answering your question. The fact there are so many things is one of them in it's own right. I suffered from clinical depression for years, on and off, and to now be at a place in my life where I am happier than I've ever been it' s a great source of happiness to me.
An activity that makes me really happy is rummaging around charity shops and boot fairs looking for things I can use to make art or do crafty things with. This is a relatively new love and something I've only been doing for a year or so there's not been much time to make it a "job". I am, however, toying with the idea of putting some packs together for fellow creatives to use and seeing if I can sell them.
I love this new found "hobby" since I know nothing about art which leaves me free to play without having a whole load of judgmental dialogue going on in my head! Being naturally analytical this is a huge change for me.

One of the very first quotes I ever recorded in my collection, and probably the one that got me thinking that you can say something powerful with very few words:
"The mind, once expanded to the dimensions of larger ideas, never returns to it's original size"
Oliver Wendell Holmes, American writer
Now, imagine being on the giving part of the idea/learning......it's enough to make a teacher want to scream......YES!!!! I got this kid to learn this.....me!!!!
I think TED is so unique, because we come here not only to receive, but also to give. Some give generously, I am very thankful for all that I have learned, but I am genuinely happy when I can take what I learn and share it with others.
I think a good many teachers feel this way. And I also think mothers are the best teachers of all, don't you think so Lizanne? Are you teaching music?
May 5 2013: I so agree, Mary!
I give music/voice workshops, I direct a children's choir and give voice lessons. I am self-taught, and have developed a technique based on the fact that I know my body was genetically designed to sing, and pass that technique on to my students.
The main objective, whether it's the workshop, the choir or the lesson, is that the children have a successful experience in expressing themselves through music!
May 6 2013: That sounds fantastic Lizanne.......using your gift, to help others develop theirs.....through music.May 4 2013: Thank you, Mary. I work as a teacher too and also feel that is positive to see how giving and sharing changes others' lives for the better.

May 5 2013: I agree, making other people happy is the source of our happiness.May 4 2013: With the flexibility granted to me by my healthcare employer, I leave my job at midday on Friday to volunteer at Southeastern Guide Dog (Palmetto, FL) in their puppy socialization program. It's a structured program of "exposures" for puppies 6-9 weeks of age bred to train as guide dogs for visually impaired people. We have to document their reactions to different surfaces, sounds, housebreaking, etc.; but the paperwork is very minor and before and after our "work" is done, I get to play, hug, "kiss" and watch little pupppies interact with their littermates. As a major dog lover, there is absolutely nothing better in this world than a constant supply of little puppies.
Nothing in my life has ever captured my interest and curiosity like healthcare, but it can be absurdly stressful. No matter how bad my week at work may have been, 60 seconds inside the puppy kennel and it's all forgotten. My volunteer work is far and away the best stress buster I have ever found, it gives me something to look forward to at the end of the week and I miss it terribly if, for some reason, I can't go. All of this and the fact that this organization's mission is special...over the top.
Getting a guide dog brings to visually impaired people a degree of independence otherwise unachievable. And dogs who don't get an "A" in training get "career-changed" into law enforcement or search and rescue, support dogs for veterans with PTSD, therapy dogs for VA medical facilities and companion dogs for visually impaired teenagers. I gave up some salary to get the flexibility to do this and I'd pay Southeastern to let me continue! It just doesn't get any better than this.

Specifically when students are wrestling with a topic and that light bulb turns on and I can see it happen. Or when there is excitement in their eyes when they are successful or have accomplished something that they did not think that they could. Those genuine learning moments when a student is successful and accomplishes something. It is incredibly fun to watch.May 3 2013: As an artist, I feel genuinely happy when I'm creating.

I wish it were my career, hopeing to make it one day... the reason I haven't yet is because of the disagreement of my conservative family with my liberal views, and being an only child. So, working on that one, and that's leading the way to being truly comfortable with who I am and not leading my life to please others, which I think is the biggest battle in my life so far.Apr 20 2013: I eat walnuts but I think this is probably just a chemical reaction in my brain

Apr 9 2013: I am currently in the process of finding out more about what makes me as an individual happy. I'm halfway through a book that I have found fascinating called 'The Happiness Project' by Gretchen Rubin which is about seeing whether you can increase your own base level of happiness. I agree that if you are constantly striving for happiness then you can find yourself feeling discontent with your current life as you think things aren't as good as they can be, but striving for improvement and discovering who YOU are can bring joy and happiness and rekindle old passions. My own list seems to be growing as the more I find out about what I enjoy, the more it opens me up to enjoying new experiences.
- +2
I love volunteering (particularly with children as they have an amazing take on life), I love learning Mathematics so I'm currently doing a degree in it, I love cooking for people, I love sitting with a cup of tea on the sofa with the front door open and a breeze coming in, I LOVE reading, I love seeing my family and particularly my grandparents as often as I can, I love boardgames, I love sitting on a swing, I love documentaries and gaining new knowledge from them, I love walking aimlessly while listening to my music, I love dancing (in private), I love singing, I love riding my bike, I love discussing new topics, I love meeting new people...and I'm still learning to love even more things and take happiness from them. Sorry it is a long list!
Apr 11 2013: As I've watched more and more videos on TED, I've come to realize that these tiny interests are always worth pursuing. I've been starting to pursue any little thing that I once had interest in as of 2 weeks ago and it's been amazing. I feel like I'm not leaving any stones unturned and that I'm trying everything that comes my way. Definitely a better way of going at things. I think I'm like you in the way where the more things I try, the longer my list will get. I also couldn't agree with you more on the child's perspective of life. I'm a tennis player and I'll help out the club I go to by teaching some younger kids and their view of the world is so simple and almost unaffected by some of the poisons we acquire with age. Thanks a lot for your response and keep trying new things!Apr 8 2013: something makes me happy like: play gameswhit child , music , help poor peole, to bestow gifts, thanks giving of god and etc...

Apr 8 2013: You know, I've found the the individual things you do don't so much bring happiness. They can be fun, rewarding, important, and meaningful for sure, but happiness comes from something else. Happiness comes from who you are. It comes from loving people and doing the right thing and knowing that you're doing it.

Apr 11 2013: I've thought about looking at it that way. It's different from what most people are saying but it is true. It's sort of like karma but a more accurate and consistent thing. If you are caring to everyone around you, then you will receive a lot of love and kindness in return. This in itself brings humans general happiness. I think that as humans, we all have a connection with each-other and that it is in our DNA to naturally care for one another. Some of us execute that gene better than others but I think for the most part people do want to improve the world around them on an emotional scale. Thanks a lot for your response.

May 5 2013: I can help people.May 5 2013: Training and working with my dogs is the activity in which I find delight. While dog training is not my full time profession, my profession & training are allied - I am a University Professor with research being my primary activity. In both activities I teach, delight in learning and problem solving, enjoy observing and then incorporating what I have learned to take the next step. Part of the happiness derives from working with the dogs as partners and communicating with another being.
- +1
There is a new "sport" - nosework (NW) which is only new to humans who live with dogs primarily as companions. The canine olfactory system is far superior to ours and playing in NW allows us access to the way the dog really "sees" its world. They delight in working in their strength and I enjoy finding out not only how they perceive their world but also how there is more than one way to live in our environment (e.g. more than one solution to a problem). In the process of observing the dogs what I have learned and derived joy, is that scents are means by which the dogs identify us and their surroundings, that they are innate problem solvers, profoundly talented in applied calculus and possess a strong work ethic whether a lap or working dog. The life lesson is that it is equally valid for humans of different backgrounds and races to achieve an end by differing paths.
Solving puzzles appears to be as thrilling for them as for me. Finally scent is dynamic - it is modified by the environment thereby making the dogs much more aware of their environment than we are. In the partnership we end up learning the lessons about air movement, temperature, moisture, surfaces, and time all in the context of life. In the spirit of the dog I also derive happiness of living in the here-and-now not dwelling in the past or worrying about the future.May 5 2013: There are two sources of joy (of happiness, satisfaction, peace): doing good and sustaining good deeds.
The man is happy if and only if he have received something what he regards good, or have done something what he regards as good.
Good action is the largest source of happiness than sustaining good deeds: "more happiness is in giving than in taking" (Acts 20,35).
Therefore the happiness of the man depends less on what is meeting him, but more from, how he will react to what is meeting him.May 5 2013: when I am being together with children, we feel happy to each other,and they always keep me be aware of how much I am learning from them and how much happiness they give me.

I would say that doing things by following my inner rhythm, makes me always happy. This about honoring your passions, and participating in life at your own pace, with authenticity.
This is true regarding the big things and the small everyday things. For example, although I have tons of things to do now, I took a few mins to read the answers and post here. I felt the attraction, and I responded.
What attracts you? Go there. The rest you will figure out. Best of luck (and happiness) to you!May 4 2013: Finding out new things, learning even more and how to use all of it to benefit from it and moving on to learning even new things and so on and so forth... In a helix, preferably a double one, not in circles. Pain can either lead to even more pain or gain, or both. And don't believe anything they tell you. Good luck, Aidan and best wishes! :)May 4 2013: I do voluntary work in a museum where computers are available to help visitors determine the meaning of their family names. A few days ago I was given the following name: PACHO .
After a search that initially failed I was able to come up with the source: Its a Hebrew abrievation for "petuach hatimot" or in English, a developer of seals (and signet rings).
The visitor was pleased because he had not previously found out what his name means. It is this kind of help that gives me real happyness.May 4 2013: Adian, I meet new people and friends. It make me happy. Meeting new people means developing relationship, connection and network to be alive with them. This feeling of being alive with many people makes me happy.
Be my connection and I will be happy... same will be with you... you will be happy too..

The old "Aero Glass" theme is no longer being made default, or it might not be included entirely anymore, I'm not sure. But all the hardware acceleration is still there in Win8. That hasn't changed since Vista.
it was the upgrade assistant that told me it wasn't compatible. I would try installing it with a flash drive and see what happens but the computer doesn't support booting from usb I dont think and I don't have any blank dvds
32bit says cpu not compatible
c'mon MS you jacked up the requirements too much I heard it doesnt even have aero anymore and they go and make the requirement too high I mean tablets haven't even broke the 2ghz mark yet so I don't see how there will be any win 8 tablets
sorry just a rant but this is such a fail on microsofts part

To be fair it could probably handle most daily tasks fine, Office 2010 would run perfectly on it. A P4 2.66 is not amazing compared to what we have today, however for a general Office / Internet PC i dont see anything wrong with it.

Leave your PC at the curb for some crack head bums to play around with the parts. You can get a modern PC for like $100.
He's looking for help and all you guys do is come in here and tell him to upgrade, or bash him for no other reason other than to satisfy your own supremacy. None of you ever give thought to maybe he has low income. I would tell him to just use XP, for Windows. But then you guys would come in and bash about a great and not even unsupported (yet) OS.
So he is dammed if he does and dammed if he doesn't. Here is your advice OP: Roll Linux on that rig, Lubuntu to be exact, It's going to do everything you need for that particular machine and it's Modern. You will not have to feel forced to upgrade every time Microsoft tells you to upgrade. For others: Don't bother posting if all you have to contribute is to make the OP feel low and satisfy your need to be a Troll, and I'm not coming back to read abusive comments projected at me, if you got something bad to say about me, meet me somewhere.
Hope you get that system running to your expectations OP.

The FX5500 does work in Windows 7 with Aero, using the Vista driver, but with transparency enabled it's slow. Other than that, it works fine.
According to the nVidia website, no. Even so it was one of the first DX9 cards and didn't even fully support the specification. However, that won't stop Windows 7 or Windows 8 from running - it simply means they won't be able to run Aero / hardware accelerated rendering. I have installed Windows 8 on a laptop that doesn't meet the minimum graphics requirements and for the most part - aside from being a bit sluggish - you don't even notice; however, you can't run the new Solitaire (lol). As I said, although it may technically run it's certainly not recommended.
Posted 09 June 2012 - 16:19
ignore the adviser as i said burn iso to dvd and install it if you want
It's not going to work, Windows 8 will not install on a system without the CPU support requirements. See the white paper.
There's a whitepaper from MS explaining the CPU support requirements in Windows 8: http://msdn.microsof...e/hh975398.aspx
Simply put, forget installing Win8 on a P4 system without support for the NX bit.

Our UTI Relief is an effective blend containing organic herbs with antimicrobial, astringent and soothing constituents for dogs and cats suffering with urinary tract infections. This formula was developed by a certified Master Herbalist to be used short-term to help the body overcome infection or once a month for three to five days to prevent future infections.
Use in conjunction with our Topical Probiotic Spray for long-term success naturally treating and preventing urinary tract infections.
✓ Organic Herbs
Our formula contains organic herbs and other foods grown organically have been shown to have higher amount of important nutrients. They are also better for the environment and of course do not have the levels of residual pesticides that conventionally grown herbs can have.
✓ Natural Ingredients
Natural ingredients are going to be gentler on your animal's body when compared to synthetic chemical ingredients or medications. The proper natural constituents are able to provide the body with what it needs to heal and get better. This is in direct contrast to synthetic ingredients or medications that can be especially hard on the liver and kidneys. Medications are also designed to have a symptom suppressing action in line with the principles of allopathic medicine which is to create a diagnoses and then use drugs to suppress symptoms. Using this course of action can never result in true healing and is not really meant to.
✓ Non Alcoholic Tincture with ORGANIC Vegetable Glycerin for Animals
Our blend is formulated by a special process using low heat and organic vegetable glycerin. Tinctures are concentrated forms of a plant's constituents that are readily absorbed and utilized by your pet's body. Because your pet may not like the taste of alcohol, we use vegetable glycerin which gives our tinctures a sweet taste your animals will like. Vegetable glycerin is a carbohydrate but is metabolized differently than sugar and does not raise blood sugar levels. It is also an efficient menstruum which extracts valuable constituents from plants and makes them readily available to the body. In addition, we take the extra time and effort to use a low heat process that extracts many more constituents than just soaking in glycerin alone as is done by most other herbal companies. And, of course, the use of USDA organic vegetable glycerin ensures your pet avoids genetically modified ingredients and herbicides in their natural medicine.
✓ Uses only Human Grade Ingredients
Our products are manufactured using human grade ingredients. In the pet industry this is far from the rule as many companies use pet quality ingredients, those considered "not fit for human consumption".
✓ Uses Fresh, High Quality Ingredients
We purchase our ingredients from some of the most highly regarded companies in their respective fields so you and your animals are ensured the finest quality supplements. In addition, we purchase in small quantities to make sure the products we provide to you are fresh and bursting with important nutrients. This is in direct contrast to many other products on the market that can spend a year or longer sitting in non-climate controlled warehouses before they even get to you.
Uva Ursi (Arctostaphylos uva-ursi), Echinacea Root (Echinacea angustifolia), Marshmallow (Althea officinalis), Cornsilk (Zea mays), Couch Grass (Agropyron repens), Cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpon) in a 1:5 ratio of herb to menstrumm.
Inactive Ingredients: Organic vegetable glycerin, distilled water, Willard Water (catalyst altered water - added because antimicrobial herbs like uva ursi are more effective in an alkaline environment). Alcohol Free!
Uva Ursi - Strong antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties.
Echinacea Root - Stimulates immune system activity.
Marshmallow - a mucilaginous herb that provides a lubricating, protective barrier for mucous membranes.
Cornsilk - Gentle anti-inflammatory.
Couch Grass - A soothing tonic with gentle antimicrobial activity.
Cranberry - Helps prevent bacteria from adhering to the lining of the urinary tract.
To help relieve acute urinary tract infection symptoms use 1 ml per 25 lbs 3 times per day. Use for no longer than 5-7 days at a time as the Uva ursi is a strong astringent. Then switch over to a milder blend such as our Kidney Tonic Formula if necessary. See cautions below.
Giving between meals is optimum. Squirt into mouth by pulling out lower lip at the rear corner of the mouth. Rinse off dropper before placing back in bottle. You may add to meals or a small amount of yogurt or favorite food if necessary.
May use once per month for a period of 5-7 days as a preventive.
Storage: Refrigerate after opening
Caution: Consult with a holistic practitioner if your animal's condition worsens. Contraindicated in animals with kidney inflammation or renal failure. Use only as directed on label. Refrigerate after opening. For use in dogs and cats.
Follow the links below to view Natural Pet Health Protocols in which this product is included. We have created these protocols using our years of experience working with dogs and cats. Protocols are a group of supplements that work together to help support weak organs and glands and improve overall health. They can be very powerful at solving many pet health complaints and often result in true healing. We feel they are a much better alternative to medications that basically just suppress symptoms and often have many serious side-effects. There may be a time and place for prescription drugs, however we feel that time is after a safer and more natural approach has been tried.

Drama, Romance
Adrienne Willis, a woman with her life in chaos, retreats to the tiny coastal town of Rodanthe, in the Outer Banks of North Carolina, to tend to a friend's inn for the weekend. Here she hopes to find the tranquility she so desperately needs to rethink the conflicts surrounding her--a wayward husband who has asked to come home and a teenaged daughter who resents her every decision. Almost as soon as Adrienne gets to Rodanthe, a major storm is forecast and Dr. Paul Flanner arrives. The only guest at the inn, Flanner is not on a weekend escape but rather is there to face his own crisis of conscience. Now, with the storm closing in, the two turn to each other for comfort and, in one magical weekend, set in motion a life-changing romance that will resonate throughout the rest of their lives.

Introduction The interplay of interactions between membranes, membrane proteins, and antibodies is of great interest in the field of drug discovery and development. Membrane proteins and membrane-associated proteins and peptides have been shown to be important in many biological processes and are involved in key pathways in diseases such as cancer. Membrane proteins are fast becoming the next big class of drug targets.
This poster describes the use of a ProteOn XPR36 protein interaction array system, which uses surface plasmon resonance to measure 36 biomolecular interactions simultaneously, to study the interaction of artificial membranes and two significant peptides.

The ProteOn webinars feature presentations from leaders in the field of label-free biomolecular interaction analysis using surface plasmon resonance (SPR) technology. Since 2009 this webinar series has covered a wide range of novel SPR applications spanning protein characterization, antibody and small molecule drug discovery, and structural biology research topics.
The ProteOn™ XPR36 protein interaction array system is an SPR optical biosensor that provides real-time data on the affinity, specificity, and interaction kinetics of protein interactions. Using XPR technology*, a unique approach to multiplexing, this system generates a 6 x 6 interaction array for the simultaneous analysis of up to six ligands with up to six analytes. The ProteOn XPR36 system increases the throughput, flexibility, and versatility of experiment design, enabling the completion of more experiments in less time:
See the ProteOn Technology and Applications videos for more information about how the ProteOn system works and how it can be applied to drug discovery and to address important experimental questions.

HSBC "lift" by Grey London
Agency: Grey London
Rating: 5.0
campaignlive.co.uk, Thursday, 13 December 2012 08:00AM
A clever bit of capitalisation on Geordie Shore, the reality TV series described by one critic as "a gaudy kaleidoscope of six-packs, shots, fights, simulated fellatio and exposed breasts". Enough reason for Geordies wanting to flee such hedonism by booking a Thomson holiday – if only to escape the tourists said to be flocking to Newcastle to check out the decadence for themselves.
Agency: Beattie McGuinness Bungay; writer: Tom Sillars; art director: Danny Asensio
A hint of The Usual Suspects about this ad from the winner of the Newspaper Society's Local Business Accelerators scheme. The brewery was founded only in 2009 by Christopher Ives, Richard Shelton and Stewart Ross, none of them with previous brewing industry experience. This seems not to have hampered them – turnover has doubled each year on the back of awards for its cask real ales.
Agency: In-house
Presumably, this ad slipped under the radar of all those one-man-and-a-dog pressure groups in search of an easy headline about promoting snack foods with child appeal, as well as the Advertising Standards Authority, which takes a dim view of anything that might be deemed as encouraging pester power. Ah well, it is the season of goodwill and this campaign is a neat way of highlighting the offers available in Tesco in the run-up to Christmas.
Agency: Tag; writer/art director: Don Barclay
Business In You is a partnership between the Government and private enterprise to provide advice, inspiration and practical support to help small businesses start up and grow. The creative work shows the dreams that drive entrepreneurs to bring their ideas to life and uses inspirational real-life stories.
Agency: St Luke's; writer: Al Young; art director: Julian Vizard
E.ON, one of the Big Six that dominate UK energy supplies, has been trying a bit of tea and sympathy in its local advertising. Well, it had to do something, having put further pressure on beleaguered household budgets by adding another £170 to average gas and electricity bills in September. But there's an offer that the people of Nottingham surely can't refuse: pop into its new high-street home to chat about bills and they'll even brew some tea.
Agency: DLKW Lowe; writer: Seb Housden; art director: Ben McCarthy
This is a no-nonsense ad that articulates Morrisons' founding "market stall" principles of offering fresh food at competitive prices. Having concluded that shoppers are seeking a "deeper engagement" with food, the supermarket is increasing floor space to allow its fishmongers, butchers and bakers to prepare food.
Agency: DLKW Lowe; writer/art director: Tom Hudson
The Olympics gave London an opportunity to bask in its glory. This ad, featuring a production of Shakespeare's Cymbeline, helped promote the London 2012 Festival, which set out to harness the power of the Games to engage new audiences with the arts. More than 19.5 million people participated in the festival's 12,000 performances and events at a range of venues across the country.
Agency: McCann London; writer: Chloe Grindle; art director: Michael Thomason
Santander has bucked the trend among major banks by increasing its lending to small and medium-sized enterprises. This ad highlights what the bank has been doing – Cordell, a Stockton-based engineering company, secured a multimillion-pound funding package from Santander in June after landing a major new contract.
Agency: Engine; writer: Chris King; art director: Simon Nicholls
No drafty dorms at Langley School, it seems. The Norfolk co-educational independent school has turned to Indigo Swan for help. The company advises organisations on buying their energy, claiming to remove hassle and securing the best possible contracts. The school is clearly satisfied enough to lend its name to the campaign.
Agency: In-house
October saw the start of the second phase of the Local Business Accelerators initiative, designed to highlight the power of regional press advertising to boost small and medium-sized businesses. The ads feature some significant regional business owners, such as Gadgets4Everyone's Sam Hargreaves.

I am so cheesed off. (Could use stronger language)
I should be in bed but we have had the internet down all day and most of the night due to overload. (Great huh because all the info about the floods and weather is on the internet and TV) Alot of suburbs around here have been without power for the last two days so the internet is pretty important.
So being sensible I ring the local council (its a public holiday here) and yes it was manned. I spoke to them about the creek at the back of my house and they said they wanted to check my location before they offered advice. Late tonight one of the water engineers rang me back and told me I would get "some water on my property". I am in a high block home (stilt home) but have underneath built in and its got my laundry, freezer, washing machine, etc and all my storage, and Truly's storage, but we have alot of low homes in my street too.
I felt great... no problem. Not like last time. Yay.
As I had been trying to access and email the predictive flood maps on the net on my phone for a friend who is worried about her mum in Ipswich which is due for some major flooding, I decided to check my area on the PC
A BIT OF WATER??? According to this... my whole street and into the next street will be under water. Where did the water engineers who drew these maps up get their information???? I saw the young guy next door was up so let him know... to which he said "Piece of cake! Totally insured! Will make a killing!" The rest of the street are asleep and as this is supposed to peak at 9am we shall see what happens... at least it is in the daylight. Oh crap!
http://www.logan.qld.gov.au/__data/asse ... dridge.pdf
Its also the same time that I will be getting H of to her first day at High School... which by the way, if the map is right will also be mostly under water, but there is no notice of her school closing in the list. Mind you THEY have their own agenda... the news here has made a huge deal of race riots here and schools being unsafe (it wasnt a freaking race riot! It was an arguement between two families that happened to BE non white!!!).. but the bloody politicians turned it into something it wasnt so they could get brownie points in the news. ARGH! H's school is perfectly well adjusted but every school knows the bloody news crews will turn up for the "first day at school" reports in this area! ARGH!
Its fine... I cant do anything. The washing machine and freezer is way too heavy to lift up and where would I lift them to anyway right? Cant even trolly it to my neighbours as according to this they might go under too.... Its way too late to go through all my stuff.
I most probably wont EVEN happen.
You know me.... worrying about nothing.

Classified ad of the week: survivor special
Set your root to fizz, then choose from 400 never-driven classics
Posted: 14 Jun 2013
Of course you want a classic car. So much style, so much character. But also, so much unreliability. So what about a brand new old car? And we're not talking about some retro-styled £500,000 Eagle effort here - an actual, work-a-day classic without any miles on the clock?
In the tiny Mid-West town of Pierce, Nebraska, there was a small Chevrolet dealership that wasn't very good at selling cars. It eventually closed its doors in 1996, leaving all the cars it'd failed to shift, which date as far back as the forties, sitting on a farm. And all four HUNDRED of them - scores of which have either zero or delivery miles - are getting auctioned off in the American town on September 28.
How about '59 Impala with two miles? Or a '66 Chevelle with four? Or a '65 Bel Air estate with five? OK, so you'll have to scrape off a few inches of dust. And buy a new battery. And tyres. And evict some wildlife. And probably undertake a colossally expensive restoration. But still, when's the last time you saw a '65 Impala with ten miles on it for sale?
Click here for the full list. Then here for a very cheap storage facility.
Who said TopGear didn't do real-world consumer advice?

Watching Piers get destroyed last night on his show Dana Loesch and Scottie Hughes was something of a treat. Morgan wanted to hang his hat on the second amendment applying to tanks. It was pretty darn funny.
The annoying thing about it is that liberals, the constitutional loose constructionists who found a right to abortions, via a right to privacy, via the fourteenth amendment (which says nothing about privacy, much less inferring that said privacy is a good enough impetus to allow infanticide) would think it's crazy that the second amendment would be "loosely" interpreted to include anything that could be considered "bearing arms."
You can see the video at The Right Scoop. I also created this little graphic to honor Morgan's
valiant pathetic performance on his own show.

Sorry! Netflix is the only way I was able to watch this. We don't have regular cable anymore.
I've watched through season 6 and I'm waiting for 7 to be available either on disc or instant view. I will admit the plot lines are tiresome at times, but it's good, mindless fun. I like the silly episodes where they poke fun at themselves. Although I still haven't forgiven them for not bringing back the father! I've said it in another thread, those boys are kind of cute but have nothing on the guy who played John Winchester.

The Sun has unleashed its most powerful eruption of 2013 so far.
The solar flare - a sudden release of radiation - peaked at 1705 BST on Monday, and was associated with a huge eruption of matter.
When these eruptions reach Earth, they can interfere with electronic systems in satellites and those on the ground.
Nasa said this solar explosion - known as a coronal mass ejection (CME) - was not directed at Earth, but it could pass several US spacecraft.
The event on Monday was classified as an "X-class" flare - the most intense type - with a designation of X2.8 (higher numbers denote a stronger flare). It surpassed an X1.7-class flare that occurred 14 hours earlier.
They are the first X-class events to occur this year.
When intense enough, a flare can disturb the Earth's atmosphere in the layer where GPS and communications signals travel.

- Decent Brush Review by Sara
Price Value Quality
This is the first makeup brush I've bought from glo, I purchased this to go with glo's under eye concealer. The brush is incredibly soft and a very high quality, it applies the concealer initially very well, but the problem I have is with the blending, it doesn't seem to blend the concealer well and I end up having to use my pinky finger to make the concealer not appear cake-like.

Really enjoyed 2012 Wipe.
Being a big fan of Two Episodes Of Mash, I was very pleased to see Diane Morgan in it. Her bits were great.
That entertainment show where the presenters apparently didn't realise that the Titanic disaster was real and wasn't just a film by James Cameron was incredible. If you didn't see it, they described the Costa Concordia disaster in Italy as a "like a Real-Life Titanic". Wow.

Wouldn't it be possible to provide sort of an option? I think it's annoying to have to swipe over titles ten times to be able to read them. Having them wrapped just allows me to scroll down the page (which is a lot smoother).

Here's a better idea, stop ruining the mobile skin and put it back as it was yesterday. Who the hell wants to have to scroll every news item just to read the title, it's just dumb. Also, why should we have to change how we choose to browse? I prefer my phone in portrait mode for browsing and I'm not changing that for one site.
Posted 20 November 2012 - 05:48
Like I said, new phone here so no cache issues, yet the skin was not like this 2 days ago. Clearly, you DID change something, and others on this thread seem to agree.
Oh, and nice bit of support there... Not.
