Most waterfowl hunters hung up their shotguns several months ago, but a few waterfowling opportunities still exist in parts of North America. The Ducks Unlimited Television crew traveled to Québec in the spring of 2012 for a greater snow goose hunt along the St. Lawrence River. This photo essay provides a glimpse of this unique late-spring hunting opportunity.
By Mike Checkett
Many of Canada's earliest settlements were established in Québec's St. Lawrence Valley. Located along the shores of the St. Lawrence River and its tributaries, this region is a historic migration stopover and waterfowling area.
Greater snow geese return to Québec in April and May after a 900-kilometer, non-stop flight from their winter grounds along the U.S. Mid-Atlantic Coast.
By the 1950s, the greater snow goose population had dwindled to only 12,000 birds. Today, greater snow goose numbers have grown to more than 1 million, and waterfowl managers consider the birds on the verge of overpopulation.
Between 400,000 and 750,000 greater snow geese will gather in the spring along the St. Lawrence River, where they gorge on spartina rhizomes at low tide to fatten themselves for their impending migration and the nesting season.
The St. Lawrence River and private landholdings in close proximity to Cap Tourmente Reserve are the cornerstones of Québec's superior snow goose hunting.
Greater snow geese are 30-40 percent larger than lesser snow geese. The sexes are almost identical in appearance, but females are often smaller than males.
Greater snow geese retreat to agricultural fields during high tide periods to loaf and continue feeding.
The average lifespan of greater snow geese is three years, but some individuals live into their late teens.
The Cape Tourmente Reserve was founded in 1969 solely to protect the greater snow goose population. Not surprisingly, unique hunting lore and traditions are deeply entrenched in the local community.

You don't have to be involved with competitive softball long to see it. Heck, I've seen it in rec league ball. Your team trails by one going into the home half of the inning with 10 minutes left and the home team is taking their time getting their batter into the box, fixing uniforms and all of a sudden has a rash of shoestring malfunctions all while the defensive coaches are screaming "batter up" and "balls in" before the umpires have even taken their positions. The old stall tactics come in many forms. What are your thoughts regarding the issue?? Let me first quantify the question by saying I'm talking about coaching kids and specifically about volunteer coach's decisions...obviously if you're getting paid to coach a team at whatever level, that changes the dynamic quite a bit. I coach both 14U and 10U softball teams and see this all of the time. I get it on some level, but what message are you sending if it extends to tactics beyond the game?? Sure you want to win and you play to win, but the lengths that some teams go to are just simply bush-league. Changing pitchers when they obviously aren't struggling, calling time to talk to your defensive players or batter with the sole intent to waste time, the rash of shoestring or uniform problems...they are all pretty weak and sends a pretty terrible message to your kids. Now, I'm not suggesting that you run up there and quickly go through the motions to HELP the other team, but you can stall within the context and flow of the game. Taking pitches until the pitcher throws strikes is one way to do it. But how about actually getting a hit or two or mowing down the batters if you're in the field?? Geez...some common sense ideas aren't bad either!! All I'm saying is that if you're going out of your way to do something you'd otherwise not do simply in an effort to waste time to insure a "win" for your team, then you might need to reevaluate why you're REALLY coaching as well as what you're REALLY teaching! Thoughts??
This is all part of a much bigger problem. What you described is obviously wrong. Coaches will defend their action via the rule book, but who cares? It is bush league. Their kids didn't play better, they didn't learn anything (good), and no one got any exercise through all the stalling and gamesmanship.
Also think you have to fault the ump. He should keep the game moving, not just collect his fee. A good ump is aware of the lessons both in the game and in the world we are trying to teach our kids by having them play in team sports. Coaches have a 'vested' interest in what happens to their team, umps should be involved in the bigger picture. Lots of the less than sportsmanship-like behaviour of coaches could be stopped by a GOOD ump. Take heed BLUE, the game is in YOUR hands.
You have to look at the situation. If it is early on a hot day and you are winning and 6 minutes on the clock and you are home team and stalling will keep your girls from playing another inning and wasting your pitcher with possible 3 or four more games to go that day. I will try my best to run the clock out. But we do it with limited swings, make sur you take all of your signs and yes maybe change a pitcher, its according of the score. I have never changed a pitcher and let her throw one pitch and then put my starter back in, I wouldn't do that. A State or National title, I will do what ever! LOL

ANTIOCH -- After a decade of steep highs and lows while at the helm, the city's top administrator plans to step down.
Jim Jakel, Antioch's city manager since December 2003, is staying on until the end of the year while the City Council works on finding a replacement.
As part of Jakel staying on, City leaders Tuesday night will consider giving him additional pay during his last six months on the job -- $2,750 per month in retention payment and $3,533 in monthly deferred compensation payments.
The monthly payments would not be included in calculations of Jakel's retirement payment formula, according to a city staff report. Jakel's current base salary is $200,628, which includes a 10-percent across-the-board decrease in city salaries since 2009 because of furloughs and a 3-percent raise all managers received on Jan. 1 in return for payment of 8 percent of their retirement costs.
Mayor Pro Tem Mary Rocha said after lengthy discussion, it was decided to keep Jakel on because of his knowledge of city affairs.
"He took the cuts himself and was willing to work with a city going down the drain," said Rocha, noting how managers in other cities were paid more the past few years. "In a way, it feels like we're making up for it."
A longtime public and private sector policy administrator, Jakel's career will end where it started.
"I guess there's some destiny in that," said Jakel, 57, who started in Antioch as a junior planner in 1980.
Jakel worked in Alameda and later Martinez, serving as that city's manager from 1990 to 1996. Before returning to Antioch, Jakel was executive director of the Contra Costa Council, an economic development advocacy group.
When Jakel started his second Antioch stint on Dec. 1, 2003, the city was nearing the apex of its growth. Property and sales tax were booming, setting record highs. New shopping centers were sprouting up on the southeast side of town while home prices soared.
"Every day I drive to work, and just think about progress I see on Highway 4 and eBART, those are the things I'll remember," Jakel said. "To have a community center that is now two years old. When I got here, it was just a goal and plans on a piece of paper."
Jakel's most trying time as manager came after the abrupt collapse in the nation's housing market sent city finances crashing into a tailspin. By 2010, Antioch's once-robust budget of $47 million dropped to near $34 million.
"It's been a pretty sobering tale," said Jakel, crediting the perseverance and dedication of city staff for helping the city survive.
Thrice forced to make the difficult decision to lay off employees, city staffing now has a vacancy rate of over 40 percent. Jakel also worked to help the city stave off bankruptcy by negotiating millions in concessions from employee groups, including cuts to employee compensation and retirement benefits, and initiating Friday furloughs.
"Throughout his whole time, you really felt like he was giving straight answers, and handled everybody evenly," Rocha said.
Jakel has quietly mentioned for some time his plans to retire after the most recent election if it was the new council's desire -- offering to stay on so they wouldn't have to rush to pick a successor.
"Hopefully, the person that comes in as (the city) is coming off the bottom and can build up a strong team," he said.
Jakel plans to pursue some kind of "new adventure" while still healthy, likely in the wine or hospitality field.
City leaders will soon pick a consulting firm to help recruit manager candidates.
Residential input on what they would like to see in a city manager will also be part of the selection process,
Mayor Wade Harper said earlier this month.

The Richmond County Sheriff's Department is already hurting from a deputy shortage, and now a plan for next year's budget calls for cutting more officers.
In the budget proposal drafted by city administrator Fred Russell, everyone gets hit pretty hard.
Cutting more law enforcement would save a lot of money...but as the sheriff told News 12, it'll cost more in terms of safety.
With a department already 40 officers short, you might understand why Sheriff Ronnie Strength is concerned about a proposal that calls for cutting more law enforcement.
"Well it would be devastating for the department, but that's not the big thing," he said. "The big thing is how will it affect public safety in the community."
To save $1.5 million, Russell has proposed cutting 25 positions from the sheriff's department and half a million dollars from the total operating budget.
"Crime is increasing every year," Sheriff Strength said. "Cutting manpower again would just cripple us."
The sheriff says the office has been chopped before during bad budget times, but they were able to make cuts with minimal effects.
He says any more cuts would be costly to safety.
That's why Augusta mayor Deke Copenhaver isn't supporting the plan.
"I could not support a cut to law enforcement at this point in time," Copenhaver said. "We've got some public safety issues in this community that we need to deal with, and the sheriff needs all the men he can get. "
"Crime is there, crime is going to increase, and I don't believe we would have one commissioner that would vote in favor of taking law enforcement officers off of the street," Sheriff Strength said.
News 12 spoke with most of the city leaders, and none are in favor of cutting any law enforcement. Neither, in fact, is Fred Russell...but he says he was told to come up with $6 million in cuts, and this was part of it.

Drivers may see improvements to two sticky intersections in Summit County over the next few years.
Colorado Department of Transportation officials are planning to expand and improve the Frisco roundabout at the Interstate 70 interchange and the intersection at Rainbow Drive in Silverthorne.
Both projects are still in the planning and design stages and will require right-of-way acquisitions.
The Frisco roundabout, which frequently backs up during peak traffic periods, will likely be expanded to two or more lanes to accommodate future development, including a Whole Foods Market planned near the highway.
"It's already a problem there," CDOT spokesman Bob Wilson said. "But because of Whole Foods and other land-use decisions ... we want to have something in place there because the traffic situation is going to be exacerbated."
In addition to new lanes, the circumference of the roundabout will also be increased to make it easier for large trucks to maneuver.
The project is expected to cost $1.5-$2 million and CDOT stated it plans to work with both the county and the town of Frisco on the project.
"We'll be involved in helping come up with the design and reviewing it," assistant Summit County manager Thad Noll said. "It's a reasonably easy project."
CDOT does not yet have a set timeline for the project.
In Silverthorne, transportation officials say they will likely be redesigning the intersection at Rainbow Drive with a new signal and additional turn lanes in 2014.
The $200,000 project came out of a feasibility study of the area last year and is expected to help improve traffic flows.
CDOT plans to alter the geometry of the intersection, allowing vehicles making left turns off Rainbow Drive and Wildernest Road onto Highway 9 to get the green arrow at the same time.
The Frisco roundabout and Rainbow Drive plans are among a mounting pile of projects on the CDOT docket for Summit County.
CDOT has highlighted eight other local road projects that could receive attention and funding - to the tune of more than $16 million total, based on current estimates - in the next two years.
"There's more going on at the local and regional level with CDOT involvement than I've seen in many years," Summit County Commissioner Dan Gibbs told the Summit Daily in March, a few days after CDOT handed local officials a three-page list of current and pending Summit County projects. "It's just exciting to see this whole page of what CDOT's working on."
That page included the long-awaited missing pieces of the Hwy. 9 widening project: $7 million in new lanes and infrastructure between Tiger Road and Agape church, as well as widening from Coyne Valley Road to Tiger Road and new roundabouts at Fairview Boulevard and Four O'Clock Road.
The state transportation department has received federal funding to help pay for the improvements between Tiger Road and Agape, which will include an additional lane in each direction, a new bridge over the Blue River with wildlife crossing space, drainage improvements and wetland mitigation, according to a CDOT report.
CDOT has also committed to widening Hwy. 9 between Coyne Valley Road and Tiger Road - a $2.5 million proposal that includes drainage improvements and recpath relocation along with the roundabout. The project, which is a high priority for the county commissioners, could go out for bids by spring 2013.

SOUTH TAHOE, Calif. - As Tyler Griffin sailed down the line with a 42-yard touchdown pass tucked neatly under his arm, he eclipsed any chance of a Vikings comeback.
Griffin's TD gave Truckee a 21-point lead and delivered a devastating blow to the Vikings 26 seconds before half. South Tahoe was within one touchdown two minutes earlier, but two minutes is plenty of time for Truckee to change the fate of a game.
The Wolverines captured a 63-28 win in their final regular-season game in South Tahoe Friday.
Truckee smashed out of the gate in the first quarter.
Griffin spun out of South Tahoe's grasp on a 63-yard punt return for a touchdown. Less than two minutes later, Jake Pettit ran for an 11-yard TD off a stealthy Erik Holmer handoff. The Wolverines now held a commanding 14-0 lead and the clock hadn't hit 10 minutes yet.
But Truckee's fast pace was nothing unexpected. The Vikings started chipping at the early lead. Quarterback John Cefalu patiently worked the ball downfield with a series of short passes spread out to his receiving staff. Cefalu then found wide receiver Kyle Moreno with a 4-yard touchdown pass.
The Vikings had busted up the shutout.
With three minutes left in the first quarter, the Vikings slammed into Truckee on the kick return, forcing a fumble and recovering on the Wolverines' 40.
Cefalu started the procedure again. A 17-yard pass to Cale Backinger here, a quick handoff to Dylan Gardner there, and the Vikings were within striking distance. Cefalu capitalized, cutting the Wolverines lead to one with an 11-yard bullet to Kyante Wilson.
The Holmer and Pettit combination got the final word, however. Pettit drove another handoff up the middle to find end zone with 27 seconds left.
Yes, this was all still in the first quarter.
Holmer edged the Wolverines ahead still further to open the second. He connected with Tyler Curtis on a 33-yard pass to drop Truckee at the Vikings' 1-yard line. Curtis made good on the final yard with a leap into the end zone.
Curtis served up a repeat performance one minute later off a recovered fumble. The running back drove up the middle 7 yards for a touchdown on first-and-goal.
The Vikings hung in.
Their QB hit Brandon Cramer with a short pass, and the wide receiver took it for a 64-yard touchdown run. A two-point conversion, and the game was within two possessions for the
The Vikings rallied behind the shift in momentum to stop Truckee on its next
drive. Cefalu then brought the game within one TD when he found Backinger with an
18-yard pass.
But the score was close enough, and Truckee turned up the heat on a chilly night.
Holmer helped his own cause, taking the ball 26 yards into the end zone. Holmer then added the 42-yard touchdown pass to Griffin with seconds until half, crumbling the Vikings' comeback chances. The Wolverines went into halftime with a 49-28 lead.
Truckee devoured the clock with runs up the middle in the second half.
Griffin added two more in the third quarter for good measure off a 40-yard touchdown pass and a 36-yard touchdown run.
The win was No. 167 for Truckee head coach Bob Shaffer, which places him first among active coaches in the NIAA, and third all time.

If you read my blog through a feed reader, then you make the decision to click through to the full post based on my snappy title and compelling first 100 words because I choose to publish partial feeds. Lately, I've been made aware that this really pisses a lot of you off. Actually, I've known this for awhile, but given the continued back and forth between "Partials" and "Fulls," well, I figured I'd address the issue.
Here's what I have to say about that (but you're going to have to click through to see it).
I never realized partial versus full feeds were such a big deal until Heather Armstrong linked me on her blog after we were on the same Today Show story about mom bloggers and one of her readers emailed me. She said something to the effect of that she liked my blog but she refused to read anyone who didn't publish full feeds so if I didn't change she wouldn't be reading my blog.
"Oh no!" I gasped. "Let me change it for you right away. I wouldn't want to inconvenience you!"
Please. Screw that.
Apparently she's not alone in her disdain for partial feeds. I hear from folks every now and then that they just can't read me anymore because I publish partial feeds.
And I've seen some pretty heated discussions on Twitter about it.
Personally, I don't care about the extra two cents (if that) that I would get from the extra view on my blog if you click over.
The only reason I publish partial feeds is because my work here has been scraped too damn many times.
And I like to piss you lazy full feed snobs off.
(Okay, not really).
It's never ever bothered me to have to click through on my feed reader to see a post. Never. I'm more than happy to give the blogger whose blog I'm reading for free a click. Maybe even a few. If I'm feeling generous, I might even click their google ads, even if I'm not looking for a sexy Asian wife.
Really?! A click is that much of a pain? Obviously so because I'm writing an entire post about it.
As a writer, I value my writing most. I actually use the partial feed as a means to challenge myself to choose better titles and really think about how I'm opening my posts.
But I won't be changing to a full feed anytime soon. No matter how many times you try to tell me you won't read my blog anymore.
Even the lovely and talented Alice of Finslippy who was rallying for full feeds a week or so ago on Twitter can't make me change, damnit.
So since I know this post will incite one heck of an awesome yet pretty trite discussion about feed readers, let's make something good come out of it. I really hesitated to post on something like "feeds" given that my dear friend WhyMommy has been diagnosed with cancer again (that's 4 times in 4 years).
But then I thought, let's channel our strong feelings about feeds into something that's actually worthwhile.
So, I will personally donate $1 for every comment up to 500 comments to Crickett's Answer, one of the many causes that Susan has helped support over the last four years. This charity provides women with free Lymphedema sleeves, something that helps ease the pain of those undergoing chemo treatment but surprise! is not covered by insurance.
If I raise $500 with 500 comments, then 5 women can get these sleeves that they might not otherwise be able to afford very easily if at all.
[Comments will remain open until Tuesday 12am EST. One comment per person per day. Feel free to say whatever you want. You can't insult me but feel free to insult those who hate people who use full feeds! *KIDDING* Better, insult cancer. Because it deserves to be insulted]

A Must Read - Share
With the release of Alfonso Curon's "Gravity," it appears the portrayal of outer space in science fiction is about to take another huge leap forward. From all accounts so far, the special effects and visions of outer space in the movie are being hailed as second-to-none. Every few years — and sometimes every couple of months — a movie comes along that pushes the boundaries of what we believe is possible on screen. Ever since the first science fiction films hit the screen in the 1920s audiences have been wowed by visions of venturing into the great black and beyond. Our

Prosecutors Won't Pursue Domestic Battery Charge Against Troutman
Published: Thursday, November 29, 2012 at 11:21 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, November 29, 2012 at 11:21 a.m.
LAKELAND | Former state Rep. Baxter Troutman of Winter Haven will not face prosecution on a charge of domestic violence-battery stemming from a Sunday night altercation with his wife, the State Attorney's Office said Thursday.
Troutman told The Ledger on Thursday that he and his wife are back together and living in their Winter Haven home.
He was arrested Sunday evening by Polk County sheriff's deputies after his wife, Rebecca Troutman, called them. A deputy's report said Troutman threw a bedspread in her face and pushed her back into her bedroom after she had pushed him out. The report said Rebecca Troutman was not injured.
A State Attorney's Office press release said there was no cause for further action in the case "based upon the review of the totality of facts and circumstances of this case."
On Tuesday, Rebecca Troutman, signed a waiver of prosecution for her husband, Assistant State Attorney Brian Haas said.
The grandson of the late citrus and cattle magnate Ben Hill Griffin Jr. and a veteran of eight years in the Florida House, Troutman spent Sunday night, his 46th birthday, in the Polk County Jail.
In an e-mail he criticized the The Sheriff's Office. "... Maybe the PCSO acted too hastily? Maybe we need to address the 'someones got to go to jail' mindset?"
In 2008, he proposed to Rebecca on the floor of the Florida House of Representatives while it was in session.
"Becky and I have already said this has made us much stronger together," Troutman said in a later telephone interview. "We are very OK."
"She is a good person, a great mother, a loving wife and we will remain together for better or for worse," Troutman said in his email.

Dual Booting Android 3.2 and Ubuntu 11.04 on an Asus Transformer
UPDATE: This post is now out of date. The process has been enhanced and made much, much easier. See new blog post here.
Since purchasing my Asus Transformer tablet, now complete with docking station, I've had a hankering to install Linux as a dual boot operating system. This was unlikely to be an easy task, as there weren't really any builds for Nvidia's arm based Tegra2 CPU. However, Nvidia has released nvflash and a base kernel build for Linux, so it was just a matter of time until someone worked out how to dual boot this with Android. It has been the people on the XDA Developers website that have really taken up the challenge on this.
I am currently writing this post on my Transformer while booted into Ubuntu 11.04. It does work, although there are a few things not yet entirely up and running.
Before going any further, I need to point out that the steps I will outline below will destroy EVERYTHING currently on your Transformer. It will reformat and repartition your storage. You will have all current data wiped, so back everything up. I should also point out that there is some risk of bricking your lovely, shiny tablet.
At the end of all these steps you will hopefully have a dual boot machine with Ubuntu 11.04, a rooted Android Honeycomb 3.2 running the Prime 1.7 ROM and Clockworkmod (CWM) Recovery installed.
Equipment you will need:
- Another computer running Linux
- An SDCard for external/removable storage in the Transformer
- The Transformer USB charging cable.
The😄 Developers forum thread dealing with this topic is already over 21 pages long. I did not follow the instructions exactly as they are printed in the first post, so I will be deep linking directly to various posts in an effort to make things clearer.
Let's begin….
1. On your Linux machine, download and extract the 900MB+ ubuntu.img rootfs file found towards the bottom of this post.
2. On your Linux machine, download and extract the zip file from this post, containing a flash kit and installation script.
3. From the flash kit just downloaded, you will find a directory called "Bootloaders." In here are two files – Android.zip and Ubuntu.zip. These two files need to be moved (but not extracted) to the top level directory of the external SDCard you will be putting in your Transformer. If you don't have a card reader on your Linux machine, it may be easier to download this file a second time on your Transformer and move the files across to the "Removable" SDCard.
4. Copy or move the ubuntu.img from Step 1. into the same directory as the extracted flash kit files from Step 2.
5. Turn off your transformer. Connect the power cable. Connect the USB end of the power cable to your Linux machine.
6. Enter APX mode. To do this, hold down the Volume UP button and the Power button together, for around 10 seconds. The screen will remain black. It will appear that nothing has happened, but don't worry this is as expected. If something does appear on the screen, you're doing it wrong.
7. Open a terminal window on your Linux machine and navigate to the folder where the downloaded and extracted nvflash package (from Step 2.) is located. Run the download-ubuntu.sh script. You may need superuser permissions to do this. At this point, there should be lots of stuff happening in your terminal window – partitions being created, .img files being copied across. If you look at the screen of your Transformer, there should be some small white text in the top left corner about being in nvflash mode.
Hopefully everything will copy across correctly, and ostensibly Ubuntu is now installed. If you now power off your Transformer, unplug the USB power cable and power back on, it should boot into Ubuntu. However, there are a few more steps worth doing.
8. Power your tablet off again. Now, hold the Volume down button and the power button at the same time. The machine will start to boot, but there will be some small white text in the upper left corner of the screen. When this appears, let go of the two buttons and press the Volume up button. This will now take you into the CWM recovery mode.
9. Navigate through the menus here to install a zip from SDCard. Choose the Android.Zip file and install. Then reboot the Transformer. You will boot into Android.
This is how you dual boot at the moment. Every time you wish to switch operating systems, you will need to go into CWM recovery, and install the alternate zip file. Slightly painful, but the good news is that all data and settings are saved in the actual operating system. All you are really doing each time is installing a new boot sequence.
There are still a few other things worth doing. One of these is installing some additional firmware so that WiFi actually works in Ubuntu. To do this you will need to enter ADB mode.
10. Follow the tutorial on this page, including downloading the Android SDK, and additional Platform Tools file (read the documentation included in the SDK download).
11. Download and extract the flash kit found in this post.
12. Connect your Transformer to your Linux computer again using the USB power cable. Turn the transformer on, allowing it to boot into Ubuntu. Wait at the login prompt.
13. On your Linux computer, you should be in ADB mode. From the regular command prompt run the firmware injector script from the downloaded flash kit in Step 11. If all goes well, and your are successfully in ADB mode, there should be no errors reported by the script while copying the files across.
14. After now booting into Ubuntu and setting up the general parameters, WiFi will need to be configured using WPA Supplicant. Currently Network Manager doesn't seem to work, so this is the only known way. Follow the instructions here with regards to how to do this. You may need to change eth0 references to wlan0. You could also try the guide here, but there are lot of places online to find WPA Supplicant help.
With luck and a following wind, everything should be working correctly. The experience is a little slow, as hardware acceleration is not yet working. I am thinking of trying Openbox as an alternative window manager to see if that improves things any. Also worth noting is that the docking station trackpad does not work, nor does sound, Bluetooth or HDMI out. The touchscreen works for mouse clicks and scrolling is achieved by moving the application scroll bars (not from anywhere on the screen, like in Android). I am sure these things will be rectified or improved in the coming months, just keep an eye on the XDA Developers thread about this for up to date details.
Good luck!
Special thanks goes to XDA Developers forum members lilstevie, Jhinta and rdnetto for creating the files, scripts and instructions for making this possible.
August 11, 2011 at 13:26
Great guide. I'm struggling to inject the firmware, but I think I found the problem.
I'm also considering moving to a light environment like lxde.
August 12, 2011 at 20:44
I still can't get it to work, when i run the download-ubuntu.sh the terminal just doesn't do anything😦 i type in my sudo password then nothing happens
August 27, 2011 at 17:31
I can't download the flash kit from the post
can i get it from other place?
September 1, 2011 at 20:30
How is the boot time and battery time?
September 6, 2011 at 10:48
Shit I got an Error at step 7:
"file not found: ubuntu.img"
but its on my microSD card!
And now i can neither get in the recovery mode nor reboot it, the only thing i can do is to go in the apx mode and retry it but i alwas get the same error!!!!!
Please help me.
Sorry for my bad english
September 12, 2011 at 22:00
Hi, first thanks for a great guide!
I'm sort of new to linux, but figured I won't let that stop me. When I try running the download-ubuntu.sh script I get the error message: "sudo: ./nvflash: command not found". I have access as superuser and using "bash download-ubuntu.sh" as command in the correct directory. A little hint about how to get through this would be much appreciated!
Thank you very much!
September 14, 2011 at 06:25
I went through steps 7, apparently no error, but my transformer booted into Android. It also says it is unable to mount /sdcard from the CWM recovery (so I can' t load android.zip and ubuntu.zip) but it sees it fine if booted into regular Android mode.
September 19, 2011 at 12:05
Fixed, mine was due to a bad ubuntu download. Now just waiting for touchpad to work. Next step, to get the wifi going…
September 24, 2011 at 21:49
i am not quite sure but after my linux machine send the file "system.img", and ubuntu, there, the terminal turn off. The transformer said to me there the operation was succesfull.
When i reboot my transformer, it boot directly in prime not in ubuntu.
I am sure that "ubuntu.img has been sent
October 1, 2011 at 16:52
Any chance you can update the guide with the new features (or how to from the last point?)
I know there has been a lot more success getting the touchpad working properly along with a few other things over the past 2 months, but I don't know how to go about it.
Thanks when I first did this I found the guide extremely helpful!
October 7, 2011 at 12:56
I got all of this working, thanks.
a few things that it would take to actually replace my dell with the asus.
-ability to plug in an hdmi (or dvi with converter cable) for a monditor
– network manager running (not critical as the cli option works, but would be nice)
– trackpad would also be nice but external usb mouse and keyboard give desktop environment
-more HD space the current 2 gig (or is it 4G) is kind of slim.
just wondering if any progress has been made by the folks at😄 developers.
Again, thanks for the very well structured and follow-able write up.
October 17, 2011 at 15:02
I hope this helps, and I am no expert. when I did this I used the microSD card that is on the "tablet" itself, rather than on the keyboard. It all worked great. I did not have to deal with paths, it was just found. my suspicion is, and only a suspicion, that the card on the keyboard may not respond the same way, but I have not tried it.
I am still waiting to hear if any progress has been made on:
network manager, HDMI output, or more space for linux. thanks again to the folks who did all the work so far.
October 17, 2011 at 20:22
If you have the zip files and image on the card then you just need to reboot and you should be in ubuntu. You should not have to reach them. You are kind of done. (except if it does not boot into ubuntu) and then you do need to get your wifi working which are the next steps. The relevant files I have on my microSD card at this point are:
If those files are actually there and you have the CWM recovery (clockwork?) part done as you should have then you are good to boot into ubuntu.
hope it works

I think he meant the actual path TO the SD card to navigate to.
October 18, 2011 at 12:32
sorry if I wasn't clear. My experience was that when I got to the point I think citrusrain was at, I did not have to "get to the card" I had a menu which I think was provided by clockwork recovery, and it had a menu item something like "boot from SD card" (may not be the exact text). so I guess if he was not at that stage then I misunderstood or he did something incorrect.
In any case I am not an expert at this. Am just trying to help clarify where I think I can.
I followed the instructions, it took a while, but I finally got a somewhat functioning ubuntu transformer. However at this point for my purposes, it is still basically a curiosity as the end result I was hoping for was to basically replace my dell laptop with the transformer. primarily using an external keyboard and monitor for "real work" but having portability for the airport the client site, the coffee shop and the couch. So I am sill longing for :
— functioning HDMI or equivalent to use a large monitor
— functioning network manager so I can pick up wifi at different locations or tether to phone
(-: — USB keyboard and mouse works great right now in ubuntu.
And again, thanks to all who have done the work to get it this far, I am grateful for the advantages I can get from other people's work. Unfortunately I don't have much to contribute back at this (technical) level, but try to when I can. BTW, I also tried to contribute on this site but somehow the link was broken, or did not work, I got lost, or whatever,but could not do it (this was about two weeks ago)
Citrusrain, did you get it working ?
all the best
January 6, 2012 at 18:07
Please update this or send me a e-mail if you do this and the prime because I am interested in doing this also.

Please check the status of this specification in Launchpad before editing it. If it is Approved, contact the Assignee or another knowledgeable person before making changes.
Launchpad entry: https://launchpad.net/products/upstart/+spec/emits
This specification proposes introducing a new emits configuration stanza to aid charting of the relationship between jobs.
There is currently no method to determine what events a job is likely to emit, other than those generated by upstart. This means that it's difficult to automatically chart the relationships between jobs. This new stanza would be optional and advisory, but aid in this.
Use cases
The udev job can emit several events, when charting the relationships, any script started by these events should be linked to udev.
The scope of this specification is limited to the introduction of a new documentation stanza, it does not specify any further use or limitation of use for this stanza.
The new stanza will be named emits.
- Each argument will be considered to be the name of an event emitted.
emits block-device-added block-device-removed
- Multiple stanzas are permitted.
emits block-device-added block-device-removed emits network-device-added network-device-removed
- These are stored in an advisory list, available to other processes.
The implementation is largely confined to the configuration file parser, adding the new stanza and parsing it.
The Job structure in init/job.h will gain a new member to hold a list of these events:
NihList *emits;
Each member will be an Event structure (or possible just a Name).
A method will be added to libupstart to permit the list of emitted events to be queried.
Data preservation and migration
These changes are backwards compatible with the previous behaviour.

3.9-30 State Highway Defect Case - §
Revised to January 1, 2008
Note: This
statute applies to highways, bridges or sidewalks. This
instruction uses a highway as an example.
There is a statute
that provides that a person who is injured by means of any
defective highway that is the duty of the state commissioner
of transportation to keep in repair may recover damages from
the state.1
In making a claim
under this statute, the plaintiff must prove all of the
following elements by a fair preponderance of the evidence:
that (he/she)
gave the required statutory notice of injury;
that the
highway was one that the commissioner of transportation and
not some other person or entity, had a duty to maintain or
that the
highway was defective; that is, that it was not reasonably
safe for travel;
that the state
had notice of the defect;
that the state
failed to exercise reasonable care to remedy the defect; and
that the defect
was the sole proximate cause of the plaintiff's injuries;
that is, no other cause was a substantial factor in causing
(his/her) injuries.
In order to be
entitled to compensation from the defendant, the plaintiff
must prove each and every one of these elements.3
If (he/she)
has failed to prove any one of them, then (he/she) has
failed to prove (his/her) claim.
notice of the injury
Note: If there
is no issue over the statutory notice of injury, this
portion may be deleted from the charge.
First, the
plaintiff must prove that the applicable statutory notice
was given.
The statute states
that an action can only be brought against the commissioner
of transportation because of a defective highway if the
plaintiff provides written notice of the injury and a
general description of the injury, including the cause, the
time and the place of its occurrence. The notice must be
given in writing to the commissioner within ninety days of
the event.4
Whether the notice
meets the requirements of the statute and whether it was
given within the time prescribed in the statute are
questions for you to determine. The notice that is mandated
by the statute includes five elements: 1) written notice of
the injury, 2) a general description of the injury, 3) the
cause, 4) the time, and 5) the place.5
The purpose of the
notice requirement is so that the commissioner will have
precise information to enable (him/her) to investigate the
circumstances of the accident. The plaintiff must give such
notice as a prerequisite of (his/her) right to recover
If you find that
the notice was not given to the commissioner within the time
prescribed by the statute or that the notice did not conform
to the requirements of the statute, the plaintiff is not
entitled to a verdict and thus you would need not deliberate
further. You would return a verdict for the defendant.
Duty to
maintain or repair
The next element
that the plaintiff must prove is that the highway on which
(he/she) claims to have been injured was one that the state,
acting through its commissioner of transportation or the
commissioner's employees, had a duty to maintain or keep in
repair. The term "highway" can include more than just the
traveled portion; it can include those areas related to
travel such as the side of the road or perhaps, even a
parking area, provided that the defect was "in, upon, or
near the traveled path."7
You will have
to determine whether the location in question was a
"highway" that the commissioner had a duty to maintain or
Defect in a
The next element
that the plaintiff must prove is that there was a defect in
the highway. A defect is "any object or condition in, upon
or near the traveled path which would necessarily obstruct
or hinder one in the use of the road for the purpose of
traveling thereon . . . ."8
Again, the defect does not have to be on the actual traveled
portion of the highway. Whether there is a defect in such
proximity to the highway so as to be considered "in, upon or
near the traveled path" of the highway, is a question of
fact for you to resolve.9
The state does not
guarantee the safety of travelers upon its highways. The
obligation of the state is not to keep its highways in
perfect condition. The duty of the state is to keep its
highways in a reasonably safe condition.10
In making this
determination, you should consider such factors as <state
factors that are applicable such as lighting, the location
of the highway, the extent of the use as compared to other
highways, the nature and use of traffic on it, the number of
miles of streets located within the supervision of the state
and the amount of money spent and number of employees and
equipment involved in maintenance and repair of streets>.11
Notice of
the defective condition
The next element
that the plaintiff must prove is that the defendant knew or,
in the exercise of due care in inspecting the highway,
should have known that the highway at issue was in a
defective condition. The plaintiff must prove that the
defendant had notice of the particular defect itself which
caused the injury and not merely notice of the conditions
that in fact produced it.12
The plaintiff must
prove that the defendant had either actual or constructive
notice of the condition that is claimed to be the defect.13
Actual notice is something like a report of the condition to
the defendant or observation of the condition by state
employees responsible for the maintenance of the highway.
The other kind of
notice is called constructive notice. If the condition that
is claimed to be a defect was present for a sufficient
length of time that the defendant should have discovered it
using reasonable care to inspect highways, then the
defendant had constructive notice.14
Failure to
exercise reasonable care to remedy defect
The next element
that the plaintiff must prove is that after having notice
and having had a reasonable opportunity to do so, the state
failed to take reasonable care to remedy the claimed defect.15
In determining the care that a reasonably prudent person
would use in the same circumstances, you should consider all
of the circumstances that were known or should have been
known to the defendant at the time of the conduct in
question. Whether care is reasonable depends upon the
dangers that a reasonable person would perceive in those
circumstances. It is common sense that the more dangerous
the circumstances, the greater the care that ought to be
proximate cause
The plaintiff must
finally prove that the highway defect was not just one cause
among many of (his/her) injuries, but that it was the sole
proximate cause; that is, the only substantial factor
causing (his/her) injuries.16
The plaintiff must prove that the injuries claimed were
caused solely by a defect in the highway.
The plaintiff
was bound to use reasonable care for (his/her) own safety,
that is, the degree of care that a reasonably prudent person
would use in order to avoid injury.17
(He/She) could not be entirely heedless of the situation,
but had a duty to reasonably use (his/her) vision and
(his/her) faculties to observe (his/her) surroundings and to
use reasonable care in view of any danger that was presented
by the condition of the highway.18
A person who knows
of a dangerous condition in the path of travel is not
required to take an alternate route or a detour, but is
bound to take precautions that an ordinary prudent person
would take to avoid the dangerous condition.19
If a person
makes the decision to pass over a dangerous condition that
(he/she) knows about, then that person has a duty to use
reasonable care in doing so. Knowledge of a dangerous
condition generally requires greater care to meet the
standard of care.20
If you find that
the plaintiff failed to prove that (he/she) was exercising
reasonable care for (his/her) own safety and that (his/her)
own negligence was a substantial factor in causing (his/her)
injuries, then any defect in the highway would not be the
sole proximate cause of the plaintiff's injuries, and you
must find for the defendant.

material difference in the obligation imposed on the state
by § 13a-144 and that imposed on municipalities by §

Much improved on Home Hub 2 and 3
Reviewed by Karen Tennant. Review Posted 07/06/2013
I have now had my Home Hub 4 for 24 hours. We live in the country, miles from our exchange, so the broadband speed is painfully slow on a good day and we need something that makes the most of what speed we do have. Our house is old, with very thick, stone walls and is a long, single storey L-shape, with the master socket at one end of the L - distinctly wi-fi unfriendly - but this hub manages to get the signal all over the house with full bars. So far, there have been no dropped connections and it handles multiple devices much better than our previous hubs. It was a doddle to set up and is visually, a much better design, taking up less space too. It comes with a nice long power cable too. Can't fault it at the moment and it was £41.95 well spent! (Also the box it is sent out in gives you prepaid postage to return a Home Hub 3 for full recycling. If you have a Home Hub 2, you can send that back in the box to be disposed of by BT, but you have to pay the postage for that.)

What is a fish?
Fishes are fascinating animals that come in an amazing variety of shapes and sizes. Learn more about fish bones and scales and the answer to the question - what is a fish?
This is a difficult question to answer because fishes have a huge variety of body forms.
The popular concept of a fish as an animal that has fins and scales, and lives in water, is not strictly correct. Many species of fishes such as the clingfishes lack scales, and others such as some species of eels have no fins. Some fishes such as the lungfishes can spend considerable time out of water.
All fishes have a backbone or a notochord, and all breathe using gills. Some animals that are not fish, such as the axolotls also breathe using gills. These animals however have fully formed limbs that are lacking in fishes.
Berra (2001) states that 'If we allow room for these and other exceptions, we can define a fish as a poikilothermic, aquatic chordate with appendages (when present) developed as fins, whose chief respiratory organs are gills and whose body is usually covered with scales.'

Does anyone know if there's a way to sort selected blocks inserted in a file and count them in an xl type of table ? Autocad and vectorworx do that very well, and that's very helpful to keep a trace of how many "this "or "that" you have in your plan.
Thanks !

ARNOLD - Calaveras County sheriff's deputies called to the 2600 block of El Dorado Drive in Arnold about 12:15 p.m. Monday on a report of a possible stabbing found a 63-year-old man suffering from injuries caused by a sharp instrument, the Sheriff's Office reported.
The victim was taken to a hospital for treatment, and there was no further information on his condition.
Deputies are investigating what happened and offered no further information on the victim's assailant.
Additional information will be released at a later time. Anyone that has knowledge of the incident is asked to contact the Calaveras County Sheriff's Office Anonymous Tip Line at (209) 754-6030.
STOCKTON - A 28-year-old man who was being arrested early Monday on suspicion of assaulting an underage girl he was dating turned his anger on a Stockton police officer and required a wrap device to subdue him after kicking the officer, authorities reported.
The suspect, Rigoberto Salgado, 28, was taken to San Joaquin General Hospital, where he was pre-booked before he was jailed on suspicion of battery, resisting arrest, assault on an officer and narcotics violations, according to a report.
Police got a call about 1:20 a.m. Monday regarding a man assaulting a woman in the middle of the intersection at California and Lindsay streets, just northeast of downtown. They learned that the suspect, Salgado, and victim were in a dating relationship and that Salgado was accused of striking her in the face during an argument.
As Salgado became uncooperative and continued to interrupt interviews, officers tried to put him in the back of a patrol car. He refused to get up off the ground and had to be carried, at which point he kicked an officer several times in the shin. When the officer released him, Salgado got back on the ground and began slamming his head into the concrete, claiming he was going to kill himself, police reported.
This led to a small laceration on his head, and the restraint was deployed to help control Salgado, police said. While searching him, officers also discovered 0.46 gram of crystal methamphetamine, according to a report.
