Jorge Orejuela
Photograph by Becky Hale
Over the past 30 years, Dr. Jorge Orejuela has been an educator and conservationist in Colombia. He is currently the director of the Cali Botanical Garden and a professor in the environmental sciences department at the Universidad Autónoma de Occidente, but his work extends throughout the neo-tropics. Trained as an ornithologist, his research includes species as varied as orchids, spectacled bears, and bats.
Orejuela's early work led him to the cloud forests between Colombia and Ecuador. This area is home to one of the most important endemic bird areas of northern South America. Recognizing the need for its conservation, he undertook the establishment of the La Planada Nature Reserve. Now in its 18th year of operation, La Planada continues to be a research site with an established community development program in place.
While remaining involved with the education community and working to teach the next generation of environmentalists, Orejuela has been a driving force in the conservation movement for his country and region. His accomplishments include the creation of the Environmental Area of the Fundación para la Educación Superior and numerous protected places. Two national parks that Orejuela's research helped establish are Utría in the Chocó region and Gorgona Island in the Pacific Ocean. Besides La Planada, two more nature reserves have resulted from his work: Acaime in the Central Andes and the Calima River basin. In 2000 Orejuela realized a dream and established the Cali Botanical Garden, which is recognized as a leading research center.

Blue Crack Reviews
"This one gave me a good energy boost and had me very focused and productive. It was also smooth and had a nice berry flavor to it. However, the high didn't last as long as I would've liked."
"Really amazing for my insomnia. On nights where I can't sleep at all, this strain totally mellows me out and knocks me out, too. Don't drive much with this strain, a few of my friends have reported dozing at the wheel because it makes them so tired."
"I tried the co2 vape oil cartridge. Decent taste and heady effect.. After some inhaling! I like others better."
"Hybrids will always find weird ways to affect you. This definitely spices things up for the daily stone, it makes me feel so shaky and energized - but it get a lazy slump in my left eye. Awesome for hikes and long days at work"
"Heavy, happy head high. Very smiley. Came on strong and tapered quickly. A small amount goes along way!"
"The particular cut I had was one of the worst I've had. the grower obviously didn't put fourth the effort in truly utilizing the potential of this plant. the herb itself was extremely dry and burned fast. the high was Suttle and lasted only 45 min to an hour. however the flavor profile was surprising of all things considering. a lot of potential with this particular strain."
"this strain is so bomb i smoked it last week..love it.."
"Pretty happy hybrid, didn't last long enough though."

EU court lifts sanctions on several Iranian businesses
September 6, 2013 - 13:36 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - The EU's top court has ruled that the EU should unfreeze the assets of seven Iranian banks and other businesses hit by sanctions, BBC News said.
The European Court of Justice (ECJ) said there was insufficient evidence that the businesses concerned were involved in nuclear proliferation.
According to Reuters, the ruling covers Post Bank Iran, Iran Insurance Company, Good Luck Shipping, Export Development Bank of Iran, Persia International Bank, Iranian Offshore Engineering and Construction Co and Bank Refah Kargaran.
EU and U.S. sanctions are aimed at curbing Iran's nuclear programme.
Western powers suspect Iran of trying to develop nuclear weapons, so they have frozen the assets of various Iranian businesses thought to be linked to that programme.
Iran insists that its nuclear technology is solely intended for civilian uses.
The ECJ ruling will not take immediate effect - the EU governments, jointly called the Council, have two months within which to appeal. So for the time being the asset freeze will remain in place, the court said in a statement.
As the Wall Street Journal reported earlier, Iranian President Hasan Rouhani signaled a possible shift in the nation's nuclear policy by announcing that the Foreign Ministry would take charge of nuclear negotiations with the West.
Iran's Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, a career diplomat who served as ambassador to the United Nations and is known in the West for being moderate and pragmatic, will become the new chief nuclear negotiator.
The Obama administration and European governments greeted Iran's announcement with cautious optimism, with some calling for immediate talks between Iran and the P5+1 group—the permanent members of the UN Security Council and Germany.

Students Skype with Jerry Coyne
In EFB Professor Rebecca Rundell's Evolution course (EFB 311), 170 students had a live Skype conversation with renowned evolutionary biologist and author Dr. Jerry Coyne. Jerry is the author of the recent book "Why Evolution is True," which the students read in the class. Students asked Jerry a wide range of questions, on topics ranging from species concepts, the nature of viruses, endosymbioses' role in evolution, the evolution of homosexuality, colonization of vertebrates on islands, to the origins of life and the creationism debate. The discussion was lively and stimulating and enjoyed by all. More information on Jerry Coyne can be found HERE

Chicago DEA head Jack Riley to outline new strategies for addressing violent gang-related crimes in Chicago
CHICAGO, Nov. 7, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Chicago Crime Commission will hold its Stars of Distinction, 2012 Awards Dinner tonight to recognize outstanding individual and organizational contributions in fighting crime. Drug Enforcement Administration, Chicago Field Division Special Agent in Charge, Mr. Jack Riley will be the keynote speaker at the event. Riley will discuss the formation of the new Chicago Strike Force, comprised of federal, state and local law enforcement, and their plans for addressing violent gang-related crime in Chicago. Specifically, SAC Riley will outline their strategy for focusing on the choke point where drug cartel and gang members interact.
The program will feature eight awards presented to individuals and the organizations they serve in recognition of their outstanding work in law enforcement. The Chicago Crime Commission will also present the fifth annual Mitchell A. Mars Prosecutorial Excellence Award to Will County State's Attorney James Glasgow for his efforts in the successful prosecution of the Drew Peterson case.
Additionally, a highlight of the evening will be the presentation of the Paws of Distinction K-9 Unit Award to DEA Special Agent Robert Glynn and his canine partner Rudy for law enforcement excellence.
"The recipients of the Stars of Distinction awards exemplify the commitment of all law enforcement in their efforts to fight crime in Chicago. While gang members and other criminals provide an unending threat to our safety and security, it is important to recognize the heroes who put their lives on the line every day and celebrate the victories they have won," according to J.R. Davis, President and Chairman of the Chicago Crime Commission.
"The Stars of Distinction, 2012 Awards Dinner is a chance to honor those whose efforts have been instrumental in the successful pursuit of justice. It is an opportunity for us to thank them and celebrate their outstanding achievements along with their family, friends, and colleagues," Davis added.
Awards presented and recipients of the Stars of Distinction Awards will include:
The Chicago Crime Commission Law Enforcement Excellence Award is presented to Sergeant David Cammack of the Cook County Sheriff's Police in recognition of his lifesaving heroics.
On May 10, 2012, Sgt. Dave Cammack responded to a shots fired/man down call in Ford Heights, Illinois. Upon arriving at the scene, he and his fellow officers found a man who was having difficulty breathing after suffering several gunshot wounds to his chest from a small caliber firearm. Fortunately, Sgt. Cammack is a licensed Emergency Medical Technician, and he assisted in attending to the man's wounds by placing what is called an Asherman Chest Seal on the victim. His quick reaction saved a man's life.
The Chicago Crime Commission Law Enforcement Excellence by a Task Force in the Area of Violent Street Gangs Award is presented to the Federal Bureau of Investigation - Special Agents Scott R. Davis, Holly M. Barille and Stephanie Lambert; the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives – Special Agent Christopher L. Bayless; the United States Attorney's Office – Assistant United States Attorneys Meghan Morrisey Stack and Jessica Romero.
The Belizean Bloods street gang was identified as an emerging threat in both Chicago and Salt Lake City, Utah. A gang faction aligned with the Black P Stone Nation's north side and south side factions prompted the Joint Task Force on Gangs to quell the potential rise of yet another street gang in Chicago. Operation Black Orchid and Operation Bloodhound, investigations into the operations of the Belizean Bloods street gang, were subsequently launched.
After probable cause was established, the law enforcement team executed a coordinated arrest of 60 Belizean Bloods members and associates in Chicago and Salt Lake City in November of last year, as well as the seizure of large quantities of cocaine and cash. The concurrent investigations effectively dismantled the leadership and narcotics supply chain of the Belizean Bloods and was a true example of effective law enforcement teamwork. The cases are currently being prosecuted by the Assistant United States Attorney's Office.
The Chicago Crime Commission Law Enforcement Excellence by a Task Force in the Area of Illegal Weapons Award is presented to the Federal Bureau of Investigation - Special Agents Christopher Hedges and Scott Holladay; the Chicago Police Department – Task Force Officer Robert Smith; the United States Attorney's Office – Assistant U.S. Attorney Lindsay Jenkins; the Attorney General's Office – Assistant Attorney General Christina Mahoney in recognition of their outstanding collaboration and performance combating the Imperial Gangsters and the removal of illegal weapons in "Operation Mousetrap."
After a two year investigation, a large-scale search and arrest operation was conducted, resulting in the arrests of 29 Imperial Gangster members on June 12th, 2012. Along with a small amount of narcotics, investigators seized over 30 firearms. All members were charged with significant state and federal drug and weapons crimes, severely limiting the gang's ability to operate in the 14th and 25th districts. The case is currently being tried by the U.S. Attorney's Office and Attorney General's Office.
This case illustrates the long-standing commitment by Chicago law enforcement agencies to pursue gun crimes, especially when they intersect with drug trafficking. The life of a gun is very long, and the tragedy it can inflict is infinite. Removing these illegal firearms and the criminals using them from the city's streets will have a significant impact upon the safety of all of Chicago.
The Chicago Crime Commission Law Enforcement Excellence by a Task Force in the Area of Illegal Narcotics Award is presented to the Drug Enforcement Administration – Special Agents Timothy J. Oko and Jay R. Borns; the Federal Bureau of Investigation – Special Agents Eric J. McIntosh and Franklin Nivar; the Chicago Police Department – Task Force Officer David Bird; the United States Attorney's Office – Assistant U.S. Attorneys Greg Deis, William Ridgway, and Heather McShain for their work on Operation Gas Leak.
Operation Gas Leak was a joint investigation conducted by the DEA, FBI, CPD and the U.S. Attorney's Office. It targeted the Zetas Drug Trafficking Organization, one of the most violent drug cartels operating out of Mexico, Texas, and the Chicago metropolitan area. Once the team secured the cooperation of an individual associated with the Zetas money laundering operation, the team was able to conduct surveillance and verify money collected from drug transactions in Chicago.
The evidence gathered enabled the team to gain permission to intercept cell phone conversations, use wiretaps, extreme surveillance, and tracking devices. The subsequent seizures occurred in April and June of 2010 and included over $14.5 million in cash, 246 kilograms of cocaine, 55,080 grams of marijuana, and 2 pounds of methamphetamine, and resulted in the arrests of 20 Zetas members. After their indictment by the U.S. Attorney's Office in November 2011, 15 of these subjects were arrested in a coordinated takedown, and law enforcement made additional seizures of $440,000 in cash, over two kilograms of black tar heroin, and ½ of a gram of cocaine.
The Chicago Crime Commission Lifetime Achievement Award for Excellence in Law Enforcement is presented to Robert Grant, former FBI Special Agent in Charge for the Chicago Field Office.
Former FBI Special Agent in Charge, Mr. Robert Grant began his career as a special agent with the FBI on November 13, 1983 and immediately distinguished himself as an outstanding crime fighter.
In 1989, Mr. Grant was promoted to supervisory special agent in the Inspection Division at FBI Headquarters. Mr. Grant was tasked to conduct several special internal investigations. Mr. Grant served as principle investigator assigned to evaluate allegations of criminal and ethical violations of FBI Director William S. Sessions. The investigation resulted in the dismissal of Director Sessions by President William J. Clinton in 1994.
In 1994, Mr. Grant was promoted to the Chicago Field Office, where he supervised health care fraud, public corruption investigations and other white-collar crimes. He also served as the field office white-collar crime coordinator and as acting assistant special agent in charge of the white-collar crime and administrative operations programs. While assigned to Chicago, Mr. Grant led a Health Care Fraud Task Force that developed innovative new techniques for use in the employment of undercover operations.
After a stint in San Antonio and Washington, Mr. Grant was promoted to Special Agent in Charge of the FBI Chicago Field Office in 2005. Since assuming leadership of the office, Mr. Grant has overseen several significant investigations, including the arrest of former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich on corruption charges, the racketeering indictment and conviction of numerous high-ranking members of the Chicago Outfit as part of the "Family Secrets" trial, and the arrest of two Chicago men on charges related to the 2008 terror attacks in Mumbai, India.
The Chicago Crime Commission Law Enforcement Gang Expertise Award is presented to Cook County Sheriff's Deputy Franco Domma.
Investigator Domma has worked as a Gang Unit Investigator for 13 years at the Cook County Sheriff's Office. He has become the "go-to" person for the Chicago Police Department when it comes to developing or elaborating information obtained from Cook County Jail.
He has been the catalyst behind much of the information often forwarded to the Chicago HIDTA Office from Cook County Criminal Intelligence Unit. Domma has worked with numerous Law Enforcement agencies and assisted in numerous investigations, all of which he conducted with his usual enthusiasm and dedication. His knowledge of gangs and willingness to share that information was critical to publishing the Chicago Crime Commission's recent edition of The Gang Book.
The Chicago Crime Commission would like to extend its gratitude for Investigator Domma's generous willingness to work as the essential gang knowledge base needed in the publication of the Commission's recent edition of The Gang Book.
The Chicago Crime Commission Prosecutorial Merit Award is presented to the Federal Bureau of Investigation – Special Agent Mark Quinn of the Violent Crime Task Force, Special Agent Edward McNamara of the Organized Crime Squad, Special Agent Mark Sofia of the Special Operations Group; the LaGrange Police Department – Lieutenant Christopher Noel; the United States Attorney's Office – Assistant U.S. Attorneys Amarjeet S. Bhachu and Stephen P. Baker.
This case recognizes the successful prosecution of Chicago Outfit members Joseph Scalise, Robert Pullia and Arthur Rachel. Known as the "Wild Bunch", the Outfit relied on this crew to commit murder if needed.
The FBI Organized Crime Squad, Violent Crime Task Force, and Special Operations Group initiated intensive cover surveillance of the defendants in the fall of 2009 and continued over the course of many months. These agents partnered with several local law enforcement officers who helped obtain the information needed for court authorization to install a listening device inside a van utilized by one of the defendants. Based on the conversations that were intercepted, agents moved in and arrested the defendants before they attempted to break into a residential dwelling on the south side of Chicago.
The U.S. Attorney's Office charged the defendants with racketeering conspiracy, interference with commerce by robbery, possession of firearms in furtherance of a crime of violence and felon in possession of a firearm. Scalise and Pullia pled guilty and face 9-10 years in prison, and Rachel was eventually convicted and sentenced to 8 1/2 years in prison.
The Chicago Crime Commission Prosecutorial Spotlight Award is presented to the Cook County State's Attorney's Office Assistant State's Attorney Jim McKay, Assistant State's Attorney Veryl Gambino and Assistant State's Attorney Jennifer Bagby.
The case of People v. William Balfour garnered national interest because the victims were relatives of celebrity singer and actress, Jennifer Hudson. The level of interest also meant that the prosecution team's every move was scrutinized.
The Cook County prosecutors were faced not only with inevitable media attention but also with a case that produced no eyewitness and no confessions. They had to rely largely on circumstantial evidence, such as cellular telephone technology that was used to track Balfour's location at relevant times during the crime. The prosecutors also struggled with having to rely upon reluctant witnesses to testify against Balfour.
Despite all of these challenges the prosecution persevered. A jury convicted William Balfour of three counts of first-degree murder and sentenced him to natural life in prison without the possibility of parole.
The Chicago Crime Commission Mitchell A. Mars Prosecutorial Excellence Award is presented to Will County State's Attorney James Glasgow for his outstanding effort in the prosecution of former Bolingbrook police sergeant Drew Peterson in the murder of his third wife, Kathleen Savio.
After nearly two years of litigation before the Third District Appellate Court and the Illinois Supreme Court, State's Attorney Glasgow and his team were granted a ruling that would change the course of the case.
In April 2012 the Third District Appellate Court effectively overturned Judge Stephen White's earlier decision by ruling that the prosecution team could use eight statements made by both the victim prior to her death and by Peterson's still-missing fourth wife, Stacy, prior to her disappearance.
The Peterson prosecution was a five-year process that involved a number of groundbreaking initiatives. The Will County State's Attorney's Office conducted an 18-month Special Grand Jury investigation following the disappearance of Stacy Peterson. In addition, State's Attorney Glasgow filed a petition to exhume the body of Kathleen Savio, after which second and third autopsies revealed compelling new evidence that assisted him in proving she was murdered and not the victim of a slip-and-fall accident.
State's Attorney Glasgow also worked with the General Assembly to draft and enact new legislation that placed the concept of "forfeiture by wrongdoing" into the Illinois criminal rules of evidence. Forfeiture by wrongdoing enables prosecutors to enter relative and probative hearsay statements into evidence if they can prove a defendant killed a witness to prevent him or her from testifying. The Illinois Supreme Court eventually adopted the common law doctrine of forfeiture by wrongdoing in its decision regarding a DuPage County murder case and then adopted the federal rules on forfeiture by wrongdoing.
On September 6, 2012 after a lengthy and contentious trial, a jury convicted Drew Peterson of the first-degree murder of Kathleen Savio. He currently awaits sentencing.
The Chicago Crime Commission PAWS of Distinction Award is presented to DEA Special Agent Robert Glynn and K9 Partner Rudy.
This award recognizes the invaluable service that canine units lend to law enforcement. The 2012 recipients prove that these highly trained companions and their handlers very much deserve recognition for preventing and solving crimes, a task that would be much more difficult if not impossible without their unique collaboration.
This year the award goes to an officer-canine duo that, since February 2006, have seized more than $35 million in cash, over 925 kilograms of cocaine, two kilograms of crack cocaine, 40 kilograms of heroin, 13 kilograms of MDMA, four kilograms of methamphetamines, and approximately one ton of marijuana.
This duo proves once again that dogs are indeed man's best friend, even in crime fighting.

NEW YORK, Jan. 3, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Berkery Noyes, an independent mid-market investment bank, today released its full year 2012 mergers and acquisitions trend report for the Software Industry. The report analyzes M&A activity in the Software Industry during 2012 and compares it with data covering 2010 and 2011.
According to Berkery Noyes' latest research, deal volume increased one percent from 1,513 transactions in 2011 to 1,529 transactions in 2012. At the same time, transaction value fell from $80.78 billion to $66.60 billion, a decline largely attributed to the lack of deals above $5 billion in 2012.
The median revenue multiple moved slightly from 2.2x to 2.1x, while the median EBITDA multiple declined from 12.9x to 11.9x. Regarding financially sponsored transactions within the Software Industry, there was a 19 percent rise in deal flow compared to 2011 and a 38 percent improvement relative to 2010. This included a 50 percent increase for private equity acquisitions in the Healthcare vertical for 2012.
The Niche Software segment, which is characterized as software that is designed to be used in specific vertical industries, experienced a nine percent increase in transaction volume in 2012. This was in contrast to the segment's 18 percent rise from 2010 to 2011. Meanwhile, there was a 35 percent M&A uptick in the last twelve months involving companies that serve the retailer portion of the Software Industry. One of the largest corresponding transactions was NCR Corporation's announced acquisition of Retalix for $650 million. In addition, deals in the retailer market with a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) component increased 16 percent in 2012. Another growth area in the report involved the supply chain and fleet management subsector. Deal volume in this subsector rose 72 percent over the past year.
Transaction volume in the Consumer Software segment increased seven percent from 2011 to 2012. The segment was impacted positively by both photography and social video software acquisitions, as M&A in the combined subsector improved fivefold on a year-to-year basis. In terms of notable facial recognition software transactions, Facebook acquired Face.com for $60 million and Google, through its subsidiary Motorola, acquired Viewdle for $45 million.
Volume in the Business Software segment was down 10 percent compared to the previous year and 16 percent relative to 2010. However, the segment's value of $14.37 billion was on par with its 2010 level. This was largely attributable to SAP America's acquisition of Ariba for $4.40 billion in 2012, which was the segment's highest value transaction during the three years covered in the report. The most active acquirer in the Business Software segment in 2012 was Oracle with seven transactions.
The Infrastructure segment, after undergoing an 18 percent rise in transaction volume from 2010 to 2011, decreased 12 percent in 2012. Nonetheless, related acquisitions in the software-defined networking (SDN) subsector were made by some of the industry's most notable companies. For example, Cisco Systems announced its acquisition of Cloupia, a software company offering IT solutions such as data center convergence, for $125 million in the fourth quarter. VMWare's announced acquisition of Nicira for $1.1 billion in the third quarter – which Berkery Noyes' mentioned in its previous report – was the highest value SDN transaction in 2012.
"Software-defined data centers, by facilitating a converged infrastructure, allow services in the cloud to be delivered more efficiently," said James Berkery, Chief Information Officer at Berkery Noyes. "As virtualization and the cloud continue to evolve, product innovation in the Infrastructure segment is likely to have a significant impact upon acquisition activity in the Software Industry."
A copy of the SOFTWARE INDUSTRY M&A REPORT FOR FULL YEAR 2012 is available at the Berkery Noyes website.
Berkery Noyes specializes in mergers and acquisitions advisory, debt and equity financing, and financial consulting services for companies in the $10 million to $500 million range, a market that is enjoying a surge in activity. The firm's research teams publish acquisition activity in the respective sectors they follow on MandAsoft.com.

Matches the interior of my 2009 Infinity FX 35 perfectly. I went with the darker color which is a perfect match. I like the texture and feel of this cover much better than the faux suede ones everyone else has.

I love my new steering wheel cover. It makes it so easy to have a comfortable grip on the wheel and even though the heat index has been up to 104 here in Pennsylvania, this cover does not get hot. And as a bonus...it looks fantastic!

CLI Magic: Bring in podcasts with BashPodderSubmitted by srlinuxx on Monday 5th of February 2007 10:57:46 AM Filed under
Podcatchers, the programs that download and aggregate your favorite podcasts, are popular on all platforms. Many are available for Linux, including iPodder and Podget. But the truth is that you don't need all that fancy stuff to harvest podcasts with Linux. BashPodder is a quick CLI-based GPLed podcatching client. It's one of the oldest ones out there, and may still be the best. It's hands-on, no-frills -- and a perfect example of how a few command-line statements can work together to do a powerful job.
Winning the Linux WarsSubmitted by srlinuxx on Monday 5th of February 2007 10:55:39 AM Filed under
Competing with Linux once filled Microsoft partners with dread, but now many are taking on the open source operating system with growing self-confidence -- and success. Here are the tactics for winning the fight.
Is Windows losing out and Linux gaining?Submitted by srlinuxx on Monday 5th of February 2007 10:53:02 AM Filed under
The penguin's come of age. What began as a battle between proprietary and open source Linux software, started by geeks around the world, isn't plain tech rhetoric anymore. It's now a mainstream commercial platform — a technology that enterprises are taking very seriously and looking at as a major cost-effective solution that has scalability and a great future roadmap.

Memo to Reuters: stop spreading FUD about Novell and LinuxSubmitted by srlinuxx on Monday 5th of February 2007 12:26:53 AM Filed under
The British news agency Reuters came up with a sensational bit of spin on Friday, US time, claiming that the Free Software Foundation could "ban" Novell from selling Linux. Good headline, but very weak on facts. Here's a FAQ that I've written for Jim Finkle, the intrepid Reuters reporter who filed that story:

Rants over Fedora Desktop 7 Test 1Submitted by srlinuxx on Sunday 4th of February 2007 11:20:55 PM Filed under
I don't believe in Fedora as a stable, production-grade distro, as it changes radically twice a year (with each release), always bringing something new, but also always breaking something. Relying on Fedora would mean to say, twice a year: "here's a good release; here's a bad release; here's a good release; here's a bad release...".
Ubuntu: 3 Steps to Make it Look NeatSubmitted by srlinuxx on Sunday 4th of February 2007 11:19:36 PM Filed under

Introduction: Using diff and patch (tutorial)Submitted by srlinuxx on Sunday 4th of February 2007 08:43:10 PM Filed under
The commands diff and patch form a powerful combination. They are widely used to get differences between original files and updated files in such a way that other people who only have the original files can turn them into the updated files with just a single patch file that contains only the differences. This tutorial explains the basics of how to use these great commands.
Drupal: Please help fixing an elusive login issueSubmitted by srlinuxx on Sunday 4th of February 2007 08:40:33 PM Filed under
For quite some time now, we have been getting sporadic reports of mysterious login problems, mostly with Internet Explorer but sometimes with other browsers on other OSes.
Help by answering the following:
- What specific browser and OS has the problem? (including Major / Minor version)
- Does another browser on the same OS have the same problem?

Install and Configure Auth Shadow on Debian/UbuntuSubmitted by srlinuxx on Sunday 4th of February 2007 08:36:10 PM Filed under
This method of installation and configuration works for me, using a combination of apt and building from source. You must have a working apache or apache2 installation and understand the concepts involved with restarting the server, enabling modules and the location and format of configuration files, e.g., httpd.conf or apache2.conf.

we discussed default package contents and what settings to look into for customization for fedora 7. looks like f7 stands a good chance of having really nice kde packages thanks both to the fedora community expanding their embrace of the community in general (merging core and extras is a nice move, too) and rex and other kde fans putting in the time and effort.

Year of the Linux desktop? Who cares!Submitted by stmok on Sunday 4th of February 2007 06:33:27 PM Filed under
Remember all those articles around the web that claim "This year might be the year for the Linux desktop" ? Honestly, should we really care? Shouldn't we let the user decide from themselves? Aren't they the final decider in all this?

The third and final segment of Tennessee's 2012-13 dove hunting season is now underway. The final segment began on Dec. 19, and will continue through Jan. 15, 2013.
The daily bag limit is 15. There is no limit on collared doves. Doves not readily identifiable as collared doves will be considered mourning doves and will count toward the mourning dove daily bag limit. No person shall take migratory game birds by the aid of baiting, or on or over any baited area. Any auto-loading or repeating shotgun must be incapable of holding more than three shells while dove hunting.
Doves are found throughout the various regions in the state, but the most concentration is in farming areas. The hunter must have on his/her person a valid state hunting license and Tennessee Migratory Bird Permit at all times while hunting. Hunters must have landowner's permission to hunt on private land.
More information on Tennessee's dove season can be found on the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency website (www.tnwildlife.org) under the "For Hunters" section. The 2012 Tennessee Hunting & Trapping Guide can also be viewed on the website or a copy may be obtained at any TWRA regional office or wherever hunting and fishing licenses are sold.

AGGGGGG~!!!!! *is in love* so here's the original text:
The woman, a Rebel spy working with his mother, tugs her son forwards. He's not much, a few years older than Ben, but not quiet as tall. With red hair messy around his face, and clothing that seems to fit poorly on his thin shoulders. General looking nowhere near exciting as Poe or any of his other friends - kids of the Rebellion have to stick together after all. "Ben," his mother says, stopping him from staring. "Meet Armitage. He's going to be staying with us for a while."
I ended up drawing them WAY older than i had originally intended, but… i'm a totally in love with the idea of the two of them meeting at the last possible moment when they could have changed each others life path's (i have so many sad HCs about it!!! (T AT) i have a whole story board about it that i'd just DIE to have the time to draw!!! UGGGGG~!!!!!) So thank you so much Plinys!!! I really had fun doing this one and i hope you enjoy it!!!

Well, I just hope you know I had your best interests at heart when I put your sandwich down my pants.
Howd you meet this guy?
I found him next to my pants on sunday morn.
My niece just unknowingly cock blocked me. Obviously, someone won't be getting a christmas present this year.

i feel like words won't express my appreciation properly so at some point i'm just going to bring you pizza then go down on you for an hour. fair?
all i remember is that her bootyshorts said 'shameless' and that there was no turning back.
I know he gets bloody noses a lot...so that explains all the blood...but I'd say the condoms are definitely from a penis.
oh don't forget that when we go furniture shopping we have to find a matching bong so put more money in the furniture fund
Oh just living the dream. And by living the dream I mean drinking franzia out of a martini glass and watching family matters. Also, drinking every time Carl Winslow has a mustache and Eddie wears MC Hammer pants
i bought another $5 worth of vodka. with change. i look like a homeless alcoholic. i need your dino cups or else i'll be forced to make a giant jello bowl shot
the arrest was probably divine intervention, cause i think we were heading to an ill-advised threesome.
i caught him jerking off, doing his SAT Prep. forever alone.
