Interview: is Ubuntu beneficial for Debian?
Today I'm presenting you my first interview, today is the turn or Raphaël, a Debian Contributor. I've meet Raphaël by his blog. He is interviewing other Debian contributors, and I'm interviewing him, continue reading and meet him better.
What's your biggest achievement within Debian or Ubuntu?
In terms of number of hours put in a single project, I think it's the development of the new source formats and all the associated work to get them accepted in the archive, and to smooth the migration path for all maintainers.
In terms of impact on Debian, my proposal of "sponsoring" package uploads evolved and ended up really changing the way we deal with prospective maintainers. That was 11 years ago and we still have sponsors to review and integrate the work of newcomers.
What are your plans for Debian Wheezy?

When asked if he felt any pressure that comes with signing a 10-year, $240 million contract, Mariner Robinson Cano broke into a sly grin.
"Honestly, no," he said.
Then again, Cano has dealt with baseball-related pressure most of his life. It happens when you are the son of a former big-leaguer, born in San Pedro de Macoris, Dominican Republic — a place known as the "the cradle of shortstops" for the big-league players it produced and named after one of the most important players in baseball history.
Jose Cano pitched in just six games for the Houston Astros, but spent much of his life playing baseball professionally.

"It's an honor to be named after him," Cano said.
Cano wore No. 22 initially with the Yankees, but then gave up the number when the team signed Roger Clemens. Last season while wearing No. 42 in celebration of Jackie Robinson Day, Cano belted a three-run homer in the Yankees' 4-2 win over Arizona.
"He changed the game of baseball," Cano said postgame. "If it wasn't for him, we wouldn't be here."

More than eight in 10 Republicans who support Donald Trump regard refugees from Iraq and Syria as a major threat to the US, according to a survey that lays bare the deep political polarisation in America.
Trump's creed of "America first" set out in a recent foreign policy speech in Washington appears to be resonating with Republicans who believe the US should put its own interests ahead of playing the role of global policeman.
Experts have offered stark warnings that proposed power plants in India, China, Vietnam and Indonesia would blow Paris climate deal if they move ahead
Plans to build more coal-fired power plants in Asia would be a "disaster for the planet" and overwhelm the deal forged at Paris to fight climate change, the president of the World Bank said on Thursday.
In an unusually stark warning, the World Bank president, Jim Yong Kim, noted that countries in south and south-east Asia were on track to build hundreds more coal-fired power plants in the next 20 years – despite promises made at Paris to cut greenhouse gas emissions and pivot to a clean energy future.

Believe it or not but I think Guerrero actually poses more of a threat stylistically to Floyd than Canelo does. Remember size does not win fights.

I just don't see Floyd fighting Martinez. He might even retire (properly this time) on Canelo.

I have to agree. But Sergio Martinez at 160 is the only fight that can "semifix" floyd's severely tainted legacy

Guerrero earned the fight. canelo would be pure gimmick. Guerrero has a much more realistic chance of winning. He can box and brawl. Floyd would just outbox the sh1t out of Canelo. Bull-matador

Damn good to see some sensible people in this thread. I'll add, while Canelo possess a size advantage, Guerrero can fight in many different styles and is a great gameplanner. I think he's more of a threat to Floyd for that reason. Power isn't going to beat Floyd, strategy might.

Floyd should fight the Ghost. If he has no intention of fighting Martinez then he needs to stay away from anything over 147.
There are at least 3 fighters that compete at 154, that have a better chance of competing with Floyd than the thoroughly unproven & pampered red head.

The American Red Cross Wabash Valley Chapter celebrated its successful "Save The Day" fundraising Campaign at its Annual Membership Meeting on May 20.
The 2008 campaign was chaired by Dr. Mary Ann Carroll. Jadcore Inc. gave the lead gift of $7,500 when the local campaign kicked-off. The goal was to raise $35,000 for local Red Cross emergency services in Clay, Greene, Parke, Putnam, Sullivan, Vermillion and Vigo Counties in Indiana and Edgar County, Ill. To date, the Chapter has received $37,036 in gifts and pledges for the campaign.
Campaign Captains included Steve Winkler, Winkler Chevrolet in Edgar County; Dr. Charles French and Nicholas French, French Funeral Home in Clay County; Jonas Uland, Greene County General Hospital; Ginger Scott, Wabash Capital and Kathy Skeel in Putnam County; James Exline, Wabash Capital in Sullivan County; and in Vigo County Rick Burger, Duke Energy; Dr. Rolan Kohr; Jackie Lower, Murray Pate, Old National; and Dave Piker.
Campaign solicitors included Rod Bosley, Jim Chesterson, Ruben Gonzales, Tom Graffis, Laura Hemming, Pardeep Kumar, Rhonda Lauderback, Tom Mason, Kayer Patel, Jenny Piker, Tom Sawyer, Thomas Schmidtz, Gary Schomer, Carol Stevens and Chasity Wood. Cindy Belt sponsored the Campaign Kick-off.
"I thank everyone who helped with the campaign including all of our Captains and Solicitors. I also want to publicly express my appreciation to John Doti, President of Jadcore, Inc. for his personal support and Jadcore's most generous lead gift this year and every year to the campaign," Campaign Chair Dr. Mary Ann Carroll emphasized. "Finally, I am deeply grateful to everyone who made a gift to the campaign, so that, the life changing and life saving mission of our local award winning Red Cross Chapter can continue," Carroll concluded.
Wabash Valley Chapter Board Chair Rod Bosley praised Dr. Carroll and everyone involved in the campaign for their efforts in making the campaign a success and exceeding the goal.
"This has been our most successful 'Save the Day' campaign," Bosley said. "Dr. Carroll and our Captains and Solicitors are to be commended. As Board Chair, I know how important our work is here in the Wabash Valley and this campaign demonstrates that our community believes in a strong and active local Red Cross Chapter."
The Wabash Valley Red Cross Chapter, winner of the American Red Cross "Highly Performing Chapter" Award, is dedicated to saving lives and helping people prevent, prepare for and respond to emergencies in Clay, Greene, Parke, Putnam, Sullivan, Vermillion and Vigo Counties in Indiana and Edgar County, Ill. Led by over 250 volunteers and eight employees, the Chapter annually mobilized relief to local families affected by more than 135 disasters, trains more than 10,000 youth and adults in lifesaving skills, provides disaster education materials and workshops to over 20,000 individuals and exchanges more than 200 emergency messages for the U.S. Military service personnel and their families.
Gifts to the campaign can still be sent to American Red Cross Wabash Valley Chapter, 700 South Third St., Terre Haute, IN 47807. Secure internet gifts can be made at www.wabashvalleyredcross.org

The distribution of movies via download in the United States and Western Europe will generate $1.3 billion in 2011, according to a new report from Screen Digest.
The report, "Online Movie Strategies: Competitive Review and Market Outlook," cautions, however, that the lack of a unified path toward digital distribution will hamper development of the market and confuse consumers.
The report projects that $720 million will be generated in the United States and $572 million in Western Europe. Movie studios and content owners will receive $935 million with the rest distributed between service and solution providers, according to the report.
According to Screen Digest, the online digital movies segment will constitute 3 percent of all movie/home entertainment revenues in the United States and Western Europe by 2011.

DiGiovanni Beauty SalonRead MoreYes, there have been times when I've wished I could do it all myself. Times I've dreamed of snipping through those blond and amber tendrils bound only by the vast horizon of my will, wholly immune to the whims of that hand which guides my every move. Such bondage! Tell me—what able-bodied creature does not crave an accomplishment to call his own? What noble steed has not dreamed of charging into battle with a sword clutched in his hoof rather than with a cumbersome knight straddling his back? Granted, I am just a pair of scissors. But do I not have a soul? Do I not, like she who grasps me, have two arms? I would happily give them both for a voice with which to lament my pitiful condition. I have much to be thankful for—this much is true. My blades are sharp; my reflexes strong. Alas, my strengths are not entirely my own. But when we work in tandem, her and I—when her hands fuse to my handles and I respond to the touch of her fingers before they even squeeze … well, that's when the existential dread falls away like so many clipped tresses to the floor, replaced by an overwhelming sense of duty, adventure, even—dare I say it?—pride. Together, we are no less than trail scouts, blazing through chaotic thickets in the name of civilization. Together, we have conquered the stubbornest of cowlicks and disciplined the most uneven of bangs. We've felt the hard rain of spray bottles pound upon us as we marched around the ear line and ascended toward the highest summits of the scalp. I have listened for—and hear even now!—a chorus of blow-dry minstrels that sings of our conquests. The tales of our triumphs have spread to the farthest-flung corners of DiGiovanni Beauty Salon. Those who enter from the outside world may not know my name, but when they ask for my stylist, who does she fetch from the blue well of barbicide? No one but I! To conquer the unkempt. To restore order to a world entangled in chaos. These are my goals. Yes, I am just a pair of scissors. But my blades are sharp, my reflexes are strong, and my victories outnumber the hairs on the most fertile scalps my arms have traversed.145 Aragon Ave.Coral Gables, FL US
Fairchild Tropical Botanic GardenRead MoreSince 1938, the keepers of the Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden have cultivated more than 85 acres of floral displays with a mixture of science and art. The gardens are lush with plants valuable to scientists and educators, and the tropical landscapes designed by William Lyman Phillips are like ever-evolving canvases, blooming and fading as the seasons change. Most of the palms, cycads, flowering trees, and vines were collected from the wild, but the grounds also harbor endangered plant species. Guides give English and Spanish tram tours as well as walking tours through specific parts of the gardens, or visitors can explore the displays at their leisure, wandering through the 16,428-square foot two-level Tropical Plant Conservatory exhibit, which blooms with orchids, fruit trees, and rare palms. Cascading waterfalls punctuate the stream flowing through the 2-acre Richard H. Simons Rainforest, where visitors admire the diverse plant life and reflect on the worldwide threat of rapidly vanishing rainforests. The Wings of the Tropics exhibit features thousands of exotic butterflies with tropical fish and rare plant life. Butterflies are released twice daily and the Butterfly Metamorphosis Lab lets kids experience them up close. The water gardens combine tranquility pools with waterfalls, sculpture, and lily pads to evoke a sense of calm.10901 Old Cutler Rd.Coral Gables, FL US

Customer review by bluekukoo
I initially went to Michael's to check out their art supplies and found that a basic 24-pc set will cost me about $12+ after using my 40% coupon! I went to Walmart and first found a 12-pc artist brand for $6.53. Not pleased with the store's selection, I went online and found a 24-pc pack for a little over $5.03 before tax! My 5th grader needs this for her art class and I am very pleased with the value. I just hope it holds up and does not fall apart during use this school year!
Customer review by Cristinaismagic
I was thinking this was just going to be a basic set of pastels, but the set was actually much larger than I originally thought. I was pleased, as sets of this size usually retail for about fifteen dollars or more. They are a little softer than I expected, but I am still extremely pleased with the price and the product.

- These are NOT oil pastels. It is clearly marked "chalk" pastel on the box and has a more powdery feel unlike the oil pastel which is sticky and oily to the touch. Not sure if the chalk pastel will work well on the hair though.by bluekukoo1/22/2016Was this answer helpful? (3) (0)Was this answer helpful?

Tkachuk's quick goals send Blues to 4-3 win
ST. LOUIS -- Keith Tkachuk ended a five-game goal drought when he scored twice in a span of 33 seconds in the second period as the St. Louis Blues beat the Carolina Hurricanes 4-3 Thursday night.
Chris Pronger had three assists and Brent Johnson, who shut out the Colorado Avalanche Wednesday night, made 30 saves.
The points were the first in three games for Pronger. Tyson Nash and Pavol Demitra also scored for the Blues.
St. Louis was outshot 18-4 in the first period, falling behind 1-0, but outshot the Hurricanes the rest of the way.
Jeff O'Neill had two goals for the Hurricanes, giving him 10 on the season. David Tanabe also scored for the Southeast Division-leading Hurricanes, who have lost three of four.
Al MacInnis, who had two penalty minutes in the Blues' first 11 games, was whistled for two penalties in the first period. The first one, an interference call for twice knocking a dropped stick in the direction of Josef Vasicek, led to an O'Neill goal on a 5-on-3 Hurricanes advantage at 12:03 of the first.
The Blues took control in the second period with a 20-7 shots advantage. Tkachuk scored his first from the point on a power play at 2:27 and his second off a Pronger setup at the three-minute mark to put the Blues ahead 2-1.
Tanabe tied it off a faceoff won by Vasicek at 9:30 before St. Louis took the lead for good on Nash's deflection of a Pronger drive at 9:59.
Demitra scored on a rebound shot from the side of the net at 3:30 on a power play to put the Blues ahead 4-2.
O'Neill stuffed a rebound past Johnson at 9:31 for the final goal.
Tkachuk, second on the Blues with six goals, assisted on the only goal in the 1-0 victory in Colorado Wednesday.
The Blues were 16-11-5 playing on consecutive days last season. This was the first of 12 such occasions this season for the team.
NOTES: This was the only meeting between the Blues and Hurricanes this season. ... MacInnis, who had eight shots, assisted on Tkachuk's first goal and has scored 42 points in 43 career games against the Hurricanes. ... Sami Kapenen had a first-period assist and has two goals and six points in six games since recovering from a back injury. ... The Hurricanes have been outscored 14-9 in the third period.

The surfing titles keep coming for Raglan's Poulter family.
On Thursday the youngest of the three kids, Sam, took his first New Zealand crown when winning the under-18 longboard event at the national championships at Piha.
Poulter, 16, has something of a family path to follow in the sport, with his elder siblings Ben, 18, and Alexis, 20 having won eight national titles between them and represented New Zealand at the world junior championships.
"I was pretty happy; it was kind of cool to finally get one because Alexis has five and Ben's got three," Poulter said of his victory.
The youngest Poulter has been surfing for about eight years and is part of the Raglan Area School's surf academy.
He attributes his success to being able to surf every day in his sixth school period.
"That was really helpful, surfing every day, in all conditions," he said.
With a lack of numbers in Poulter's event, there was a straight final, but he was made to work hard for his victory, with less than 0.1 points between him and the second place-getter.
"The surf wasn't very good, so it was pretty hard. It was pretty close, I was pretty stoked to win."
Poulter also surfs a shortboard but doesn't compete in it because he's found his niche on the longer one.
"It just seems to come a bit easier. I can turn a longboard because I'm a bit bigger than some kids, so I can turn it a bit easier," he said.
The national championships were the second leg of the Hyundai Longboard Tour and Poulter is set to compete at the remaining three rounds in Northland, New Plymouth and Mt Maunganui.
Ben won the same event last year at the same venue. This year he got to the semifinals of the open longboard competition, while he reached the quarterfinals of the shortboard event.
Alexis won the women's bodyboard title and came second in the longboard; today she is in the final of the shortboard after posting a score of 7.5 points yesterday to finish second in her semifinal, which was contested in two-to-three-metre waves.
Also in the final will be Whangamata's Ella Williams, who won that semifinal with an 8.33-point ride and a 10.2 total.
After waiting five days to get back in the water after horrible conditions, the men's open surfers were able to contest their quarterfinals yesterday.
Two Raglan riders will look to advance from the the last eight after Billy Stairmand and Leon Santorik both finished second in their events by scoring 14.17 and 9.17, respectively.
Meanwhile, Raglan's Daniel Kereopa retained the men's stand-up paddle board title with a dominant performance yesterday, notching up a 15.8 point heat total.
Armie Armstrong, also of Raglan, finished second, with Whangamata's Karl Arsene fourth.
