Amanda Mikl ma, lmft - Mental Health Therapist, Billing Manager
When working with youth I utilize play and other creative arts to assist them in communicating emotions and working through difficulties. I also enjoy working with pre-marital couples and am trained to administer the Prepare/Enrich, an inventory for both pre-marital and marital couples that provides a snapshot of their current relationship. My therapeutic approach is a collaborative effort. Individuals are the experts on their own lives and experiences and it is my role to support them while providing tools and insight as they work to overcome current stressors. This approach helps me tailor to the unique needs of each individual. I enjoy working with many different people and supporting them through various life situations.
Jenny Schill ms, mft - Mental Health Therapist

In all aspects of my life, I approach issues and challenges through a strengths-perspective, focusing on highlighting the positive in others and decreasing situations causing life stressors. In a therapeutic setting, you and I will brainstorm solutions and work toward goals together, through a trusting, caring relationship. I am confident that through this respectful collaboration we will see an increase in healthy functioning in all aspects of your life.

I have worked with victims and survivors of domestic and sexual violence for the past five years.

Val Zellmer ms, lmft - Clinic Director, Mental Health Therapist
My career as a therapist and clinic director/owner has been among the most rewarding experiences of my life. Each day I am blessed with the opportunity to enter into people's stories and to help them move toward greater healing and wholeness. During my years in therapeutic practice, I am repeatedly amazed at people's resiliency, at their ability to overcome trauma and abuse, and at their capacity to triumph over incredible obstacles. Much of my work with clients revolves around helping them recognize their inner-strengths and developing new skills to facilitate happier, fuller, healthier living.

ah yes. now that the season has changed, the onslaught of dry skin and dullness starts to creep in. summer tans (
not that i ever saw the sun this year) and that post warm weather glow have faded. unfortunately, makeup tends to be drying and since that is the last thing we need, good skincare is absolutely essential in the next few months! last year, my post about skin was a huge hit! however, we bought a house this year and i wanted to buy more affordable products! i have done an overhaul of my routine and my skin has never looked better!
in the photo below (this was taken a couple days ago) i am not wearing anything but cherry chapstick. there is no fancy filter so you can see the differences in my skintone but note that i have a medium, with yellow undertones thing going on. ignore my dark circles, it was morning/pre-coffee
here's a run down of my routine: products can be purchased online at sephora, iherb.com ($5 discount code:SAH578) or at whole foods.
AM: wash face with this acure cleansing creme
-follow up with this moisturizer or bb cream. that's it!
PM: remove tinted moisturizer with this gel cleanser (i have combo skin that tends to be sensitive and this works great for me)! it's gentle but effective and doesn't strip the skin of it's natural oils.
-tone the face with homemade rosewater lemon tonique
-apply the same moisturizer as above but with 2-3 drops of argan oil as a night time treatment. if i could pick just one product for making my skin so soft and supple it would be the argan oil. i was scared to put oil on my face for ages but it has made a HUGE difference in the texture of my skin and reduced breakouts. i only have a small flare around that time of the month these days and this stuff helps keep those blemishes tiny and manageable under makeup! note*: acure also makes an argan oil that i will be replacing my stash with when i run out!
once a week, i use a homemade mask that i learned about in india several years ago. it has been the best mask i've ever used. sure, store bought ones have great smells and tingles etc but they haven't been able to reproduce the results i get from the homemade one!
here's the recipe. . .
combine 1 tbsp plain yogurt or sour cream in a dish with 1tbsp sandalwood, 1tsp lemon juice and a tiny bit of rosewater to thin. apply creamy paste to your face and allow to dry (~15-20mins depending on how thick you spread it). gently remove with a warm wash cloth and tone!
your face will look so.crazy.amazing. you will have a more even skintone over time, oil production will reduce and the skin will be properly moisturized! read about lactic acid (from the yogurt) benefits here & sandalwood use in beauty here.
other misc tips that have helped my skin:
1. drink.your.water
2. eat to nourish yourself and enjoy! i know it isn't very trendy to be a female and enjoy eating steaks and what not but gelatin is so nourishing to your skin health.
3. eat.your.fats! coconut butter/oil, oily fish and avocado in particular help your skin's mantle lock in the moisture
4. stress less! getting worked up about stuff causes your gut to react and manifests itself on your face…eeek! so chill out already
5. if you have an event coming up, lay off the coffee and wine! trade it in for herbal or green tea and you'll get a nice glow.
6. exfoliate every now and then but not TOO often! depending on how your skin cell turnover is, try 1 or 2x a week at most. i like to just put some raw sugar or coffee grounds emulsified in honey and gently rub over freshly cleansed skin after my night time face wash. do NOT scrub!
let me know if you try out the mask! i have a 'pumpkin' one that i'll share with you soon! tis the season! x

So, I bought Old World Blues and Honest Hearts a little while ago. I finished off main game stuff before going into Honest Hearts, but after I bought it, so I levelled up a bit. I finished Honest Hearts and ended up at level 38-39.
My question is, will I still hit level 50 with the other 2 DLC if I top out at 40 before I finish OWB?

UPDATE: OUSD Spokesman Troy Flint said 10 protesters were arrested, beginning at 12:35 a.m., after refusing to leave the building.
Tonight, a group of about a dozen or more activists from BAMN held a sit-in and protest in the midst of the board meeting, saying they wouldn't leave until the board took back its October decision to close five elementary schools. (At one point Alice Spearman, who serves up at least two colorful quotes and/or insults per meeting, issued this challenge: "I want to say to these revolutionaries who want to camp out: I hope you've got your tent. I hope you do. Walk your talk.")
After an hour-long recess, when the Oakland school board and the television cameras returned to the board room, activists resumed their chanting about children, gentrification and schools not being for sale. (None are for sale that I know of; some might be leased to charter schools or the Emery school district, which some protesters were describing as majority-white. You can find that district's actual student demographics here. Oakland has a greater percentage of white students.).
Then, without further ado, the board members and staff grabbed their personal effects and left, adjourning the meeting to tomorrow afternoon.
After the board walked out the first time, a man in a Santa Fe Elementary T-shirt told the activists (which did include a couple of Lakeview grandparents) that he had been waiting for hours to speak on the agenda item to lease Santa Fe to Emery Unified after the school closes in June.
"The point is you deprived the community to make their point to the school board," he said. "This was disrespectful."
Earlier in the meeting, a number of teachers union leaders spoke out against Superintendent Tony Smith's plan to replace the regular teaching positions at Castlemont, Fremont and McClymonds high schools with teachers-on-special-assignment, or TSAs. They held a rally before the meeting on the steps of the district headquarters.
The board also had an interesting (and at times, procedurally perplexing) discussion about the future of Lazear Elementary. The board voted to close the school last fall, and to keep it open, parents have applied for a charter conversion. OUSD staff recommended the board reject the petition, but Noel Gallo made a motion to approve the charter. Alice Spearman also voiced her support, as did Chris Dobbins.
The board ended up tabling the matter, asking staff to work out a similar "partnership charter" arrangement as they did with ASCEND and Learning Without Limits. One of the provisions in that agreement might be for the charter organization to consider returning Lazear to district (non-charter) status in two years.
Anyone get why would that be, when the only reason it's going charter is to stay open despite the district's decision to close it?

Once upon a time this 660 card set was the hottest of the hot. Containing the best rookie cards of Donny Mattingly and Daryl "sweet swing" Strawberry, it was the pride of anyone's collection. Almost overnight is seems like Don Mattingly developed back problems and had to retire. Add to this Daryl's substance abuse problems and you have both of the key rookies from this set officially out of baseball way before their time. Having said this, it is still one of the nicest looking sets of the modern age, and will continue to hold a special place in collectors' hearts. To read an in-depth article, click here.

ZESCO managing director Cyprian Chitundu says the power utility firm will engage the World Bank Group for technical assistance to conduct a cost of service study on tariffs in the country.
Mr Chitundu said ZESCO had applied for new tariffs to the Energy Regulation Board (ERB) on the tariff adjustments but wanted the electricity tariff to be cost-effective for the power industry.
He was speaking in Livingstone on Wednesday night when he made a presentation of ZESCO operations to visiting WB executive directors.
The nine-member delegation left for Mozambique yesterday and was in Zambia on a familiarisation tour of various projects.
Mr Chitundu said ZESCO was working to increase access to electricity from 22 to 50 per cent through the Vision 2030 and rural electrification masterplan.
He said the power utility firm would carry out massive empowerment projects such as connecting at least 4,000 new customers per month.
Mr Chitundu said ZESCO would increase new connections by 10 per cent per annum through continued infrastructure improvement.
He said increased access to electricity services project was funded by World Bank, Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) and the European Union.
ZESCO would connect an additional 65,000 customers to the national grid and that approximately 550,000 inhabitants of Zambia would also benefit by 2014.
Other projects include rehabilitation and construction of small and mini-hydro-power stations among them Chishimba, Musonda and Shiwang'andu.
World Bank Group delegation leader Rudolf Treffers said Government's concerted efforts to foster various developmental projects in areas such as power industry was commendable.
Mr Treffers said the international organisation would support Government's ambitious programmes in various sectors.

Russian companies that want to sell their wares in the West have hit on a new sales strategy: deliver samples by rocket.
A Russian space capsule is currently orbiting the Earth, filled with Russian industrial products. It will splash down just off the western coast of the US on Sunday, in time to join a Thanksgiving Day parade in Seattle next week.
The public relations extravaganza was paid for by a collection of Russian companies, many of them government-owned. But it is being carried out by the ex-Soviet espionage apparatus. The space capsule was built to carry spy cameras in orbit, and it was launched on 16 November from the military launch pad at Plesetsk. The capsule will be recovered from the sea by the Marshal Krylov, a new warship designed to track and recover spacecraft. According to Peter Gladkov, one of the planners of the event, no civilians had ...

Friday, the 19th day of the holy month of Ramzan, brought good news for the families of the eleven convicted under the repealed Terrorist and Disruptive Activities Act (TADA) in the twin blasts case of 1993, carried out in Surat reportedly to avenge the Babri Masjid demolition. The Supreme Court acquitted all of them after nearly 12 years of imprisonment.
One of those freed on Friday is former Gujarat minister in the Congress government, Mohammad Surti. Two of the convicts — Iqbal Wadiwala and Ehsaan Patel — died in prison. Four have completed their terms — Salim Patel, Aziz Patel, Saeed Nari and Aijaz Patel — and five are expected to be freed possibly by next Tuesday.
They were all serving sentences ranging from seven to 20 years in Surat district Central Jail at Lajpore.
Like every morning, Amena (71), wife of Mohammed Surti, was sitting near the window on the first floor of their two-storey home in Rampura area of Surat, reciting the Quran, when her youngest son, 29-year-old Amin, informed her about Surti being acquitted. Amena cried and kissed Amin on the forehead. Within no time, their home was flooded with well-wishers. Surti's eldest son, Faruk, was also wanted in this case and is still absconding. His other two children include Zulekha, who is married and settled in London, and Ruksana, married and settled in Surat.
Talking to The Indian Express, Amena Surti said, "I have not seen my husband for a long time. My eyes remain glued to the door in the hope that he will walk in. Now, the time has come and he will surely return. Earlier, people used to throng my home, waiting to meet my husband, seeking help on several issues. After he went to jail, nobody came and people even spurned us when we approached for help."
Amin says their lawyer in the SC broke the news to him Friday morning. "We have informed my sisters and well-wishers. This time, we have planned that on Eid, we will invite all our family members, relatives and friends. There has been no celebrations in our home for all these years." Surti has served nearly 12 years of his sentence, say sources.
After the news trickled in, Kharwa Chaal, where Mustaq Patel lives, burst into celebration. Three from this family were convicted in this case — Mustaq, his younger brother Aziz and brother-in-law Salim Patel. Aziz and Salim were convicted for 10 years and have finished their terms.
On Friday morning, Razia, Mustaq's wife, got a call from their lawyer, informing her about her husband's acquittal. She said, "This is the happiest moment in my life. Only yesterday, I went to jail with ice-cream, sweets and biryani to meet him. After returning home, I cried a lot and could not sleep for the whole night, missing him. We have planned to host a party on Eid."

McAfee Unveil New Comprehensive Tech SupportMonday, May 14th, 2012
McAfee have announced that they want to improve upon their existing tech support by releasing a new suite of McAfee technical support services for their UK consumers, called McAfee TechMaster™ services.
McAfee have recognized that in this day and age many family's digital lives are varied and very different to a few years ago. There are laptops of different makes, smartphones, tablets and cameras now in almost every home, many all at the same time. One of their new tech support solutions is one that covers a household for all of their devices.
When something does go wrong with a PC, laptop or other device, many consumers feel reticent in taking it in to be fixed. This is because it can be time consuming to pack up a computer or laptop, ensure things are backed up, and spend a period of time without a device. With his in mind, McAfee's new TechMaster™ services are delivered remotely via phone, so that the tech support can be given remotely and not require people to take their devices to a retail outlet.
McAfee's new suite of technical support includes a whole range of support services, for a wide variety of needs. These range from the comprehensive (for example covering all of a family's devices for a year) to ones that work incident by incident, depending on the nature of the problem. For example, there are packages for virus removal, or for troubleshooting. There is also help with setting up your new PC or Mac, including help with things such as monitors and keyboards.
McAfee believe that having a centralized technology support for all or one of your devices is something that is very important to consumers, and have used independent reports to support this idea. As households continue to buy new and different types of technology, the idea of having something to cover it all may certainly become a popular one.

Santa Barbara
Located right under the famous Kings Cross Coca Cola sign, this new bar-cum-restaurant will break all the rules to give you a frolickingly fun time. The cheeky venue is inspired by hot food trends in the US – in particular USAsian food. You'll find a heady mix of all the latest food trends, think Tex-Mex, US Diner and Asian flavours, particularly Korean and Chinese. The short rib slider is a multicultural tour-de-force, beef ribs slow braised in gochujang (Korean red bean chilli paste) served with kim chi and Sriracha (chili sauce). Grilled watermelon with jalapeno and smoked salt is a popular novelty that will leave your head spinning.
There's a beer for just about any taste and budget, but heck, let your hair down and order a Che Guava (tequila, lime and guava soda), the brain-numbing Catalina iced Tea (dark rum, scotch, bourbon, Kahlua, Tequila, coke and lime) or a scandalous Lindsay Lohan shooter (patron XO, Grey Goose and cinnamon sugar rim).

So I have been working my way around the stern – rewelding all the TC bolts. These are the hardest ones as they are virtually overhead. This is where the rudder post goes up through the hull. Only a few left to go in this area and then I can move back forward to the starboard side bow. I am looking forward to those easy ones as my arms, neck and back are very sore from holding the welding rod overhead all day.
Imagine standing on top of a 9 foot high scaffold, blindfolded (you cant see with the welding helmet glass down). Now take both hands and grasp them together so that they are at eye level. Now simulate the slow burning of the welding rod by slowly and exactly moving your hands directly overhead at a slow but constant rate. Move them exactly one foot from your starting position over the next minute. Go too fast and you will drive the tip of the welding rod into the hull and it will stick. Go too slow and you will lose the arc and have to start again. Don't forget to breathe and don't fall off the scaffolding! Also don't forget to visualized the sparks of molten steel at 1370 deg C (or 2500 deg F) raining down on you! And don't flinch if you get a spark through your glove, shoe or even down your pants! I wont show you those burn marks. You have now just completed welding one half of a TC bolt. Grind off the slag scab over the weld and repeat for the other side of the TC bolt. Then repeat and repeat and repeat, etc….

So…we've yet to have the opportunity to try out Be fine's food skin care line (though we hope to do a product review on it soon!). But we have noticed their gorgeous, colorful ads in O, The Oprah Magazine.
Have you been as curious as we have to try them out?
Based on those pretty ads we had to go check out the Be fine website. First thing to note: the website is as pretty as the ads. They do a good job of letting us all know their philosophy straight from go: prepared from ingredients sourced from plants or minerals, paraben-free, allergen-free fragrance, vegetarian proteins. Goody goodness.
The 'menu' tab breaks down their product line, grouping them into starters (cleansers and toners), main courses (moisturizers), and the indulgent final course (special treatments). It's easy to scroll over the products (likened to their food counterpart; i.e. the eye brightening treatment is represented by an avocado, the main ingredient). Check out the products that appeal to you. Some great tidbits are listed, for example, if you were to look at the pore refining scrub you would not only get the quantity and price of the item, but it would also tell you about what its ingredients will do for you. In the case of the pore refining scrub, it includes tea tree oil, a natural antibacterial; provides smoothing qualities and feeds your skin Vitamin E and A; includes rice, soybean and yeast peptides which tighten the skin; and detoxifies with orange, a natural astringent.
If you're interested, Be fine is also promoting their Food For Thought community, meant to create gatherings of friends to share ideas and concerns, enjoy good food and connect with each other.
Has anyone tried Be fine products? We'd love to know your thoughts!

Isles women answer challenge in Southland Tournament
KATY - The 25-foot 3-pointer at the halftime buzzer by Sam Houston's Brittany Brooks was just about the norm for Texas A&M-Corpus Christi's first half.
The Islanders defense had been riddled at that stage of the Southland Conference Basketball Tournament. And even when the team displayed defensive effort — as Dez Green was within arm's reach of Brooks — the Bearkats' shots still were falling Tuesday afternoon.
But A&M-Corpus Christi shrugged off what could have been a back-breaker, and Islanders coach Robert Robinson knew just which buttons to push.
So, after Robinson told his five seniors at halftime that they had about 20 minutes of playing time left in their careers if the team didn't play defense, the Islanders responded with one of the team's all-time best halves. Down seven at intermission, third-seed A&M-Corpus Christi outscored No. 6 SHSU 59-32 in the second half, rolling to a 99-79 opening-round victory at the Merrell Center.
"We gave up 47 points in the first half, and I told the kids at halftime that we couldn't guard a good junior high team," Robinson said. "Sometimes that's what gets them going. I know the kids. I know that would fire them up. I knew they would come out ready to go. Sure enough, they were up the challenge."
The next challenge is No. 7 Northwestern State in the semifinals at noon, Thursday. NSU sprang an upset in the tournament-opener, knocking out No. 2 Stephen F. Austin 96-82.
The Islanders (21-9) gave different reasons for their lax first half — they were off a little or a bit tense. No matter the reason, the Bearkats (11-18) hit more than half their first-half shots and had stretched the lead to 11 at times.
"We were rushing things a little. We needed to settle down in the second half," said junior forward Adrienne Scott, who scored eight of her 17 points in the second half. "We were too tense. Anybody can get uptight."
SHSU was held to a more reasonable 38.2 percent shooting in the second half. After making five of eight first-half 3-pointers, the Bearkats hit only one of eight during the final 20 minutes.
The game became played at a less frantic pace, setting up an A&M-Corpus Christi specialty — burying teams with the power game.
"They cooled off a little, but I think our defense helped them cool off," Robinson said. "Once we were committed to getting stops in the second half, it really helped us. We knew their post players had foul trouble and we were able to isolate them inside. They were able to score at will."
The inside game savaged SHSU. The Islanders scored six conventional basket-and-foul three-point plays. A&M-Corpus Christi feasted at the free-throw line, knocking down 27 of 33 attempts.
Frontcourt players combined for 60 points, including a 13-point effort off the bench from Anitra Jeffrey who, with a previous career high of eight, said the output even caught her by surprise.
When Lauren Smith knocked down a jumper less than six minutes into the second half, the Islanders grabbed a 56-54 lead. They never again trailed or were tied.
"In the second half, our shots didn't fall and we got dominated inside," Bearkats coach Brenda Welch-Nichols said. "That was the difference in the game."
Six A&M-Corpus Christi players hit double figures, led by Jade Davis' 18. Green and senior post Elisa Beagle both had big second halves, with Green scoring 14 of her 16 points and Beagle nine of her 12 during the final 20 minutes.
"As a team, we just needed a little push," said Green, who led the Islanders with 11 rebounds.
SHSU (11-18): C. Davis 3-4 2-2 8, W. Smith 4-8 4-9 12, Agnew 5-9 0-1 10, Alexander 7-15 0-1 14, Brooks 5-19 1-2 14, Echols 0-0 2-4 2, Thomas 2-4 1-2 5, Morgan 0-0 0-0 0, Hager 0-1 0-2 0, C. Smith 5-8 1-3 14. Totals: 31-68 11-26 79.
A&M-CC (21-9): Green 6-11 3-4 16, Scott 4-10 9-9 17, Myles 1-3 0-0 2, J. Davis 5-12 6-7 18, Montgomery 4-10 1-1 12, L. Smith 4-9 1-2 9, Jeffrey 4-9 5-7 13, Beagle 5-9 2-3 12. Totals: 33-73 27-33 99.
Half: SHSU 47-40. 3-point goals: SHSU 6-16 (Alexander 0-2, Brooks 3-9, C. Smith 3-5). A&M-CC 6-16 (Green 1-3, J. Davis 2-4, Montgomery 3-7, L. Smith 0-2). Fouled out: None. Rebounds: SHSU 34 (Agnew 12), A&M-CC 57 (Green 11). Assists: SHSU 13 (Alexander 9), A&M-CC 14 (Davis 4). Total fouls: SHSU 27, A&M-CC 17. Technicals: None. A: 417.

James Salter's first novel in almost 40 years has been praised widely by critics and readers. His protagonist, Phillip Bowman, is a young man who serves as a navigation officer in the Pacific during World War II. When the war ends, he returns home searching for a career and a wife. He finds the first as a a book editor for a publishing house. The happy marriage proves more difficult.. He meets and marries Vivian Amussen, a wealthy and privileged girl from Virginia. But there are strains in their marriage from the start, the least of which is the vast difference in their families and upbringings. As Phillip navigates the years after the war, he struggles to find a relationship that will last and a place for himself in a rapidly changing world.
While this is advertised as Bowman's story, it is not quite that simple. It is more an exploration of a whole world of characters. Bowman will disappear for pages at a time, only to be picked up again as if there was no break. Characters are introduced and followed for a page or two, never to be seen again. This is both fascinating and frustrating. Salter creates a world of really interesting characters and I often found myself so intrigued by an auxiliary character that I was disappointed when they did not appear again. But this creates a disconnect for the reader with Bowman himself. It's hard to connect with a protagonist who is frequently absent and often the least interesting of the bunch.
Salter is often noted as writing beautifully simple prose. He excels at writing sentences that manage to be bare and simple while holding great depth and grace."Day was rising, a pale Pacific dawn that had no real horizon with the tops of the early clouds gathering light. The sea was empty. Slowly the sun appeared, flooding across the water and turning it white."
But the lovely writing doesn't cover some of the book's flaws. Throughout the novel, Bowman acts with no consideration for other people. This doesn't change as time goes on, despite the many failed relationships that litter the story. This gives a stagnant feeling to All That Is. This seems to be an intentional decision on Salter's part, but it gives a weight to the story that makes it difficult to keep reading with enthusiasm. This novel is also decidedly male in that the women in it are more plot points than characters. They are not developed in any meaningful way because Bowman (and Salter) will use them for a few pages and then dispose of them.
All That Is was lauded as a return of a very talented author. Unfortunately, this collection of one man's conquests and failures without much introspection or change doesn't match the excitement this book generated.

Here's What A 14-Year-Old McDonald's Hamburger Looks Like
Spoiler alert: EXACTLY the same as it did the day it was purchased in 1999. Doooooooooood.
1. A man apparently was going to keep the burger around for one month, then forgot about it…until he pulled it out of his pocket 14 years later. OMG EW WHY DON'T YOU CHECK YOUR POCKETS.
2. The burger was practically the same. It had hardened, but there was no mold, no decay.
Well, except for the pickle.
3. This makes you wonder…will McDonald's hamburgers outlive us all?

The Council's 100 Thousand Dollar Question
No tax increase in the city of La Crosse isn't a done deal. Mayor Tim
Kabat's budget proposal has been met with only a little resistance from a key council committee this week. But it's the part of the budget that could mean a tax bump or not for city property taxpayers
City council president Dick Swantz says council members want the mayor to consider allowing taxes to increase to the maximum allowed amount and maybe put that money towards property inspections.

Well, first thanks for your answers.
The point is that i'm tired about Ubuntu, and wanna use something other. Btw I already tried MATE, but didnt liked
I use terminal very often, nowadays I even launch Web Browser from terminal by typing chromium-browser
And I know, the best way is experiencing, but I heard about much distros, and now I'm confused.
And about the appearance: my main intent is to remove the panels, and replace them with AWN docks. So thats what I mentioned as "ability to customize desktop".
You mentioned that I described Ubuntu, but I don't agree with this, and here are my justifications:
- Unity and Gnome Shell don't allow me to remove panels, but they have many options to tweak the desktop
- it isn't fast... it's getting slower and slower version by version...
- Less custiomization options about the notification/indicator area without 3rd party program. Also doesnt wanna integrate my skype properly, even though I already tried many tutorials.
-can use xfce4, but can't use Gnome2
-not really power saving. my laptop's accumulator can work for about 1,5 hours, while it can work for 2,5 hours by using Win 8
-boot is slow as hell. Win 8 boots for me in less than 10 sec, Ubuntu boots for about 30 sec (normal 5400rpm hdd)
+ in my last pharagraph, I said I don't wanna use Ubuntu anymore ^^
There are two things about your position I don't quite understand.
First, you are the first - and only - person I have ever heard claim that he prefers GNOME 2 to MATE! Considering that MATE is literally a fork of GNOME 2.32 whose express goal as a project is to maintain the GNOME 2 experience, I don't understand what you like about GNOME 2 that you dislike about MATE. My only guess is that you have only tried MATE on Linux Mint, and dislike the abomination of a menu that Linux Mint added to MATE or the Linux Mint default MATE configuration (which is similarly abysmal in my opinion). If that is your issue, try installing MATE from their repository on a clean install of Ubuntu or Debian. The experience has not changed from GNOME 2; MATE has merely added a few new features and improved some of the unerlying code.
Second, I think you're being unfairly biased against Ubuntu. It sounds like you are confusing the desktop environment with the operating system. While they are tightly coupled - to the point of being nigh inseparable - in Windows and OS X, that is not the case in Linux. Every component can be modified, updated, or removed individually. If you're an advanced user and would prefer to do an expert install of Ubuntu, that is certainly possible with the alternate install disc. Using that method, you can install only the essential packages and build your system from the ground up. (If you have the experience to perform that type of installation, I would normally recommend that you go upstream to Debian, but you would have a more difficult time getting the latest beta versions of WINE and Ubuntu One installed. It certainly can be done, but you would need to have a very good grasp on how the system works.) Even if you would prefer to install Ubuntu from the live disc and simply remove packages or disable startup services manually, that is also a possibility.
Finally, the Arch Wiki and Debian Wiki are both very good resources no matter which distribution you choose. I would highly recommend that you refer to your distribution's wiki, forums, and IRC channel for help (in that order), but you can often find excellent technical documentation that is somewhat distribution agnostic on both of the aforementioned wikis.

When I paste text it is sometimes not pasted at the caret (cursor) but at some other random position nearby. It happens in Leafpad, gedit, and in textboxes in Firefox. Very annoying.
I have CrunchBang installed on a Eee PC 1005HA. Everything runs well after a few tweaks, drivers, etc. I've been using it for a couple of months but have this problem that's been with it since day one.
If I ctrl-Z (undo) the wonky paste it is properly undone and my caret is moved to the nearby random position. I then have to cursor back to the correct position to paste which always works the second time. If I moved the caret around and do another copy/paste its wonky again. Its like its lost track of the true caret position at the operating system level, not the application program level (since its a problem with multiple applications).
Anyone else have/had this issue? Anyone know of a fix?
I searched the forums but I don't see any mention of it.
Last edited by carbonsink (2009-11-22 23:56:56)
don't have a solution, but some information.
Its like its lost track of the true caret position at the operating system level
the cursor position is managed by each application.
and you have the problem with different application.
so the problem is not the cursor position, but more like the copy & paste feature witch is broken.
the first suspect would be the "clipboard manager".
try to disable it in ~/.config/openbox/autostart.sh
# Launch clipboard manager
#(sleep 1s && parcellite) &
If you're using a mouse click to change focus and you click in a text field, the insertion point immediately changes to wherever you clicked. In many (but not all) applications this also happens if you use a right-click to select 'Paste' from a context menu.
thil77: Thanks for thought. In autostart.sh it looks like it is already disabled because this is what I find:
# Launch clipboard manager
#(sleep 1s && parcellite) &
pvsage: I generally don't use the mouse at all when I'm editing, preferring to navigate with the keyboard. However, it is possible I'm inadvertently touching the mousepad as I type. As a test I'll try and figure out a way to disable the mouse pad and only use an external mouse and see if the problem goes away. One downer is that the random insertion point is sometimes not showing in the window (viewport) which makes it less likely that its the case that the touchpad is getting in the way. Thanks.
pvsage: Thanks for the suggestion, it allowed me to find this: http://crunchbanglinux.org/forums/topic … e-writing/ (to disable the touchpad conditionally in real time). Implementing it seems to have solved my problem (just did about 15 minutes of heavy text editing with no sign of the issue).

Long-Term Planning and Adoption of Commercial Practices Could Improve DOD's Operations
April 18, 2013
What GAO Found
The Department of Defense (DOD) satellite control networks are fragmented and potentially duplicative. Over the past decade, DOD has increasingly deployed standalone satellite control operations networks, which are designed to operate a single satellite system, as opposed to shared systems that can operate multiple kinds of satellites. Dedicated networks can offer many benefits to programs, including possible lower risks and customization for a particular program's needs. However, they can also be more costly and have led to a fragmented, and potentially duplicative, approach which requires more infrastructure and personnel than shared operations. For example, one Air Force base has 10 satellite programs operated by 8 separate control centers. According to Air Force officials, DOD continues to acquire standalone networks and has not worked to move its current standalone operations towards a shared satellite control network, which could better leverage DOD investments.
The Air Force Satellite Control Network (AFSCN), DOD's primary shared satellite control network, is undergoing modernization efforts, but these will not increase the network's capabilities. The Air Force budgeted about $400 million over the next 5 years for these efforts. However, these efforts primarily focus on sustaining the network at its current level of capability and do not apply a decade of research recommending more significant improvements to the AFSCN that would increase its capabilities.

Ernesto Livon-Grosman wanted to create an electronic version of XUL: Old and New Sign. XUL is a journal of experimental writing first published in Buenos Aires in the early 1980s during the time of one of the most repressive military dictatorships in Argentinian history. At the time of its first publication, XUL 's defiant gesture toward censorship made it possible to create a forum for experimental poetics. Livon-Grosman owns one of the few complete sets of the 11 paper issues and has exclusive rights to publish XUL electronically.
Working collaboratively with the BC Library, Instructional Design and eTeaching Services was able to create a website to connect with the electronic versions of XUL housed on firstname.lastname@example.com. Along with the original Spanish version of the XUL, this website contains English translations originally published in The XUL Reader, published in English by Roof Books in 1997. This site also houses an eBook containing scholarly texts about the pieces that were originally published in XUL.

Kemal Pasha, by Isaac F. Marcosson - October 20, 1923
THERE was a time when Angora was famous solely for cats and goats. Today the shambling, time-worn town far up in the Anatolian hills has another, and world-wide significance. It is not only the capital of the reconstructed Turkish Government and the seat therefore of the most picturesque of all contemporary experiments in democracy, but is likewise the home of Ghazi Mustapha Kemal Pasha-to give him his full title-who is distinct among the few vital personalities revealed by the bitter backwash of the World War. read more

Turkish Foreign Minister Dr. Davutoğlu Comes to Washington
Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu's visit to Washington this week comes at a pivotal time in U.S.-Turkish relations. The importance of Turkey to the U.S. administration can be traced by the number of high-level visits by U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in July 2011, Secretary of Defense Leon E. Panetta and Vice President Joe Biden in December 2011 while this is Davutoğlu's first reciprocal visit since his last trip to Washington in November 2010. While there is a sense of deja vu given the frenetic pace of meetings, speaking and awards including his selection for the second time to Foreign Policy's top 100 Global Thinkers list for "imagining a new role for Turkey in the world - and making it happen," there is much that has changed since the last time Dr. Minister came to Washington. read more

Running A Biomass Gasifier On Various Wood Fuel Pellets
A biomass gasifier is a piece of equipment used to break biomass down from a solid matter into a flammable gas called syngas or synthesis gas. Synthesis gas is made up of mainly carbon monoxide and hydrogen. Converting biomass into syngas is one of cleanest ways to capture and burn energy from biomass such as wood. As well as using pellets.
A biomass gasifier can be used to generate energy for several purposes. For example during the second world war, over one million vehicles were converted to run on synthesis gas using wood. The reason was due to supply issues with oil. Synthesis gas in a 1:1 ratio with air can be used in internal combustion engine. However using a biomass gasifier for transportation is not really practical, particularly in the 21st century as the gasifier has be attached to the vehicle. The use of a biomass gasifier is more suitable to produce gas for heating and electrical generation. A biomass gasifier can be used as both small and large scale CHP units, where both heat and electricity are generated at the same time. For a biomass CHP unit, the biomass gasifier would generate gas to be used in an internal combustion engine which would then power a generator to produce electricity. There would be a large amount of heat from the gasifier and the internal combustion engine which can then be used to heat the property. Germany believes its future energy network will be made up of small scale electrical generators feeding into the national grid such as small gasifiers.
Wood Pellets Fuel and Biomass Pellets
To help the biomass gasifier run efficiently and without complication, the gasifier requires a fuel which can flow through the reactor. Also have a low moisture content so the gasifier can achieve the thermal decomposition temperatures required to produce a clean gas. Pellets have both of these qualities, and are therefore ideal for the gasifier. Turning grass and straw into pellets is particularly relevant, as they cannot be used in their unprocessed natural form very effectively.
Practically all biomass materials can be compressed into pellets, however each raw material has its characteristics which make the material behave differently in the pellet mill. For example material density effects the rate of production and heat required to compress the pellets. Where wood, and particularly hardwood has a high density, straw has a much lower density. Another important factor is the percentage of natural lignin. Lignin the substance which hold biomass together and is crucial in pellet production to help form durable pellets.

The official UK inquiry into the climategate affair has found that the "rigour and honesty of the scientists involved are not in doubt". But it also concluded that researchers at the University of East Anglia's Climatic Research Unit (CRU), who were at the centre of the row, showed a "consistent pattern of failing to display the proper degree of openness."
The seven-month investigation by former civil servant Muir Russell found that the scientists responded to requests for data under freedom-of-information law in ways that "were unhelpful and defensive".
The university – based in Norwich, UK – compounded the errors by "failing to recognise not only the significance of the statutory requirements but also the risk to the reputation of the university and the credibility of UK climate science" when the affair broke, it found.
The Muir Russell inquiry was requested by the university after the theft and online publication of more than 1000 emails from the CRU's web server last November. This resulted in a flurry of accusations ranging from charges of outright scientific fraud to poor professional conduct over peer review.
Complete exoneration?
The report clears the researchers on many charges, especially relating to their personal integrity. It defended the "robust" attitudes taken by scientists such as former CRU director Phil Jones in many email exchanges: most of the bombast and vitriol was "typical of the debate that can go on", it says. This allowed university vice-chancellor Edward Acton to call it a "complete exoneration".
However, a close examination of the findings calls that statement into question. For instance the inquiry found that scientists at the CRU and elsewhere had been "misleading" in the way they used a version of the celebrated "hockey stick" graph of reconstructed past temperatures. Although the initial paper gave full disclosure of the methods used to amalgamate thermometer measurements with proxy data – from tree rings, for instance – a subsequent publication of the graph in a World Meteorological Organization volume did not, which Russell and his colleagues deemed misleading.
Elsewhere, the report's own methods seem less than thorough. For instance, the inquiry team investigated only three among many instances in which the scientists seemed to be subverting the peer-review process. In particular, it did not look in detail at one instance in which Jones, then director of the unit, said in an email that he had "gone to town" to prevent publication of a paper that was critical of his own work.
Reasons to delete
Nor did the investigators get to the bottom of whether CRU scientists had deleted emails for fear they might be requested under freedom-of-information laws. "We find that there was evidence that emails might have been deleted in order to make them unavailable should a subsequent request be made for them," states the report. But at the launch this morning, the authors admitted they had not specifically asked the researchers if they had deleted such emails.
Russell did tell the university to rethink its attitude to the freedom-of-information laws, after finding it had been "unhelpful" in granting the public access to data. "In a new world of openness, accountability and citizen involvement in public-interest science… there need to be new ways of making results and data available," he said today. And he called for "a more productive relationship with critics", without which he felt climate science will lose public trust.
The university has responded by abolishing the role of director of the CRU, held by Jones until last November. Indeed, the CRU itself will no longer function as an administratively independent unit within the university. Acton said Jones would now become "director of research" for the CRU, working within the university environment department.

Golf Classic turns a perfect 10
Monday marked a perfect 10 for the McCleary Marleau Moen Foundation's annual Charity Golf Classic.
A capacity field of 180 golfers were out at the Elmwood Golf Course to support the McCleary Marleau Moen Sports and Recreation Foundation through their participation in the 10th annual Boston Pizza Charity Golf Classic.
Trent McCleary was excited to see the decade anniversary tournament begin, and was pleased to see the continued support behind the charity event.
"Believe me there's been lots of help for the 10 years, but we've been fortunate to have a lot of really good core sponsors that every have came back to the plate and have sponsored us and come out and enjoyed a great day of golf," McCleary explained.
The Foundation has expanded their mandate over the past years, and one of the ways they are branching out is helping fund the Boys On The Move program offered through the City of Swift Current.
"We're following the needs. For the individual athletes, is there a need - yes. But all of a sudden there's a need for program development in this community too. So that's where the City of Swift Current has helped out too. They're creating the programs and we're helping to fund them, so it's been a very good relationship that way. And, again, we're filling a need. That's what we're here for. That's why we have 180 golfers out and 180 people are supporting the needs of Swift Current."
