Islander Fans,
Due to school I was unable to travel with the Islanders women's basketball team on Thursday, Dec. 1 to Houston for the Rice Tournament, so I don't know what they ate and I don't know how practice went, but I do know I had a ball coming up on Friday with the media relations staff and my new road dogg Sara Alva. Matt was a little jealous because we were talking about fingernail polish, make-up and hair. It was too much estrogen for him to handle being the only guy in the minivan at the time LOL.
To my surprise he turned on the radio and was jammin' to some rap and Sara was singing along. We stopped at a gas station on the way and they tried to leave me and all I wanted was some breakfast tacos! Smh…
We made it to Houston, 14 minutes after shoot around started. Sara and I jumped right in. We went to pregame meal after shoot around and I had fettuccine alfredo with chicken and shrimp and strawberry mango limonate. Then we went back to the hotel and I caught some zzz's. I roomed with Alisa Roberts (aka Lis) again who is going to be my roommate for the rest of the year.
I woke up and went to the gym for our first game against Rice. We were supposed to lose (as all the haters say) but we won 64-61 and the underdog rose to the top to advance to the championship game. Lis came clutch with the free throws at the end of the game to seal the victory. Then we got some wings, some chicken wings. I had Asian zing and hot barbeque mmm mmm good!
December 3, 2011 at 12 a.m. Verne'qua Taylor (aka Ne) and I sang happy birthday harmoniously to Jessica Jammer (aka Jam) for her 21st (the big 2-1 as she would say). Then the whole team came in and broke up the moment. Smh….
Saturday morning we got up and went to breakfast and I actually ate … some fruit that's it. I'm not much of an eater to be honest. Then Coach D hit us with study hall at 10 a.m. since we have finals this week … (wish us luck!)
We went to shoot around from 11:45-12:30 and when Coach Deb said to make a three and you're done I stepped up behind the arc, dropped back and sunk a three. I told Coach Deb, "Dunn is Done."
Then we went out to eat for pregame and I had prime rib and mashed potatoes and Sierra Mist and we sang to Jam again! Zoe Vega-Vega (aka Zo) gave Jam a brownie cake with icecream … mmm mmm good!
Back to the hotel we went to find out that the hotel management had locked us out of the room. So everybody sat in the hallway until their roommate came back with a new key.
Caught some more zzz's after that. Then it was game time vs. North Texas in the championship game. We lost 72-58 but sometimes there's things in a game you can't control … *cough cough* zebras.
Our SID Amber had the funniest moments on the trip. I won't get into specifics though … LOL.
We ate pizza on the way home. It is now 11:50 p.m. and we still aren't home and I'm tired, about to catch some more zzz's and I'll be back again on Wednesday.
d-_-b …. zzzzzzzzzzzzz

Every lawsuit against the city costs taxpayers money. That includes the lawsuit filed by government reformer Woody Merry against Commissioner Marion Williams. Now Merry has expanded his lawsuit to include every commissioner, and the mayor. News 12 has more on how much it's costing you, the taxpayer.
They've walked this path before. This time government reformer Woody Merry has included every commissioner in his lawsuit.
Merry and his attorney Joe Neal, Jr. filed the lawsuit Wednesday.
"We have expanded our petition to now include all commissioners both black and white, the government, and the mayor in our lawsuit," Merry said.
"That's why we've added all the commissioners and the mayor so we can have all of them subject to the same rules where these abstentions can not paralyze the government," Neal said.
In the lawsuit every commissioner is named, including Augusta Mayor Deke Copenhaver and the consolidated government.
"In reality look I am trying to get the business of the city done. I'm going to let the courts figure this one out. When they need me let me know and I will answer the questions truthfully," Copenhaver said.
But these lawsuits cost money. City Attorney Steve Shephard charges $125 an hour in preparation time, $135 an hour for negotiating contracts and $165 an hour for litigation. And it's costing you, the taxpayer.
"I think the money can be spent for better things than that," said Sandra Wiggins, taxpayer.
"I do think it's a waste of taxpayer money," said Golden Hare, taxpayer.
But Woody Merry's commissioners are the ones that are costing the taxpayers.
"This is small compared to the money they have wasted, the millions of dollars wasted running an inefficient government," Merry said.
And the money will keep adding up as taxpayers foot the bill.
A sworn affidavit was filed in the Clerk of Court's office yesterday. It was from former Mayor Bob Young who is now in Atlanta as Regional Director of Housing and Urban Development. Young says when he was mayor he was denied his right to vote to break a tie on more than one occasion due to a commissioner abstaining.

Kudos to the Washington Post for its Style section feature today on Med Grow Cannabis College. Who ever heard of such a thing?! Wait. The New York Times had it when? Saturday? This past Saturday? Fucking fuckity fuck.
Okay, before we delve into Med Grow Cannabis College and its myriad innovations in marijuana education, let's get all the dumb dope jokes out of the way: Yes, Med Grow Cannabis College does give new meaning to the phrase "higher education."
They didn't even use the extra two days to change this lead. Dude.

This is because of being compiled for 10.6.
All other binaries in the osx folder just work fine.

I updates my ps3 recently to the last firmware version, could that be the problem? I tried other versions of PMS with the same result ( I'm using always the default configuration that comes with it )

News 12 First at Five / Wednesday, Dec. 5, 2012
AIKEN COUNTY, S.C. -- Cpt. Nick Gallam has been administrator of the Aiken County Detention Center for almost a year. His new idea will shake things up with webcam visitations.
"I commonly refer to it as something like Skype or, you know, a video chat that you would, you know, sit down on your laptop and have a video chat with somebody," he told News 12.
Right now, Gallam says with a population of about 300, there are 200 visitors every week. It's a lot to manage for the jail staff, but computers make things easier.
"It's in a hardened, vandal-proof box that on one end the inmate would sit down in front of a monitor and then their family members would sit down on the other and have a video chat," he said.
All a visitor will have to do is make an account on the website Securus. They can chat with their inmate for free using computers in the jail's lobby. For only $20 for 20 minutes, visitors can even use the service at home with their own computer and webcam.
For those who argue the system is impersonal, Gallam says current visitations are similarly impersonal. Visitors see inmates face to face, but a layer of plexiglass is between them.
"One thing about inmate is if there's a system, they're going to try to circumvent that system. You know, their needs, or their necessity to get contraband into the facility, are big," Gallam said.
Prisoners test their luck, he says. He showed News 12 where they've had to re-caulk the seals of the glass barrier where visitors have tried to sneak contraband, like drugs and maybe weapons, inside.
Come next year, however, the old visitation rooms will be a thing of the past at no cost to the taxpayer. The private company will install the system for free. It makes its money through people who use the service at home.
The Aiken County Detention Center will look to implement the new system in the first quarter of next year.
Webcams are already used at the Webster Detention Center in Richmond County. The captain there tells News 12 they love it.

This gorgeous brunette has a tight body and perky breasts that she just loves to show off. Wait until she lets you see the pretty pink kitty underneath her thong. Welcome Alyssa!
Alyssa Reese looks ready to play some very naughty games in her tiny bikini. The beautiful brunette exposes her lovely perky boobies and sweet spank-worthy ass as she poses poolside. See Alyssa and diunabashedly strip totally nude while looking into the camera with come-hither eyes. Are you ready for some naughty play with Ms Reese?
Alyssa Reese is looking hotter than ever! Wait until she strips out of her dress, down to her bra and panties. WOW! She models her sexy little body and gorgeous face, not to mention her long brown beautiful hair. She by far has one of the nicest asses around. You ass guys are going to go nuts. Get ready to see ALL her amazing goodies!
It's so nice to watch Alyssa Reese walk away - especially when she does it up the stairs in a super short dress without panties on! It gets even better as she walks back to the camera and offers a more up-close and personal view of what's under that outfit. The svelte sexpot strips the clothes away from her olive skin and parts her pretty pussy to let her fingers enjoy the glide.

Marshes and potholes on the Canadian prairies are freezing up tight, and as an even stronger cold front pushes across the region this weekend, remaining waterfowl concentrated on deeper waters should also begin to move south. Ducks Unlimited Canada (DUC) biologists are providing real-time reports about the latest conditions on Ducks Unlimited's Migration Map. As waterfowl continue to push south, peak migrations of waterfowl are expected to arrive throughout northern and mid-latitude states in each flyway. Below are some recent reports from DUC biologists.
DUC Biologist Shaun Greer
Fewer open water opportunities everyday as the lakes continue to freeze over. Few late season mallards and geese still available for field hunts.
There are a few remaining divers and mallards concentrating in the open water pockets of lakes and the Saskatchewan River. Expecting a push south of many of the remaining birds with expected snow and colder temperatures this weekend.
Many of the smaller wetlands are starting to freeze over. Two-week forecast calling for highs near or just below freezing and lows around 20F and colder. We have received very minimal snow to date, but calling for up to 4 inches by this weekend.
DUC Biologist Chuck Deschamps
Hunters are having trouble finding ducks and geese to hunt. Small flocks of Canada's and large flocks of mallards are concentrating where there is deeper open water, but they are difficult to find. Saw a large flock of mallards piling into a dugout this morning.
Snow geese and cranes have left the area as have teal and other ducks. Divers and mallards are still around, but continue to leave the area. There is a storm front moving in this weekend that may take a lot of the remaining ducks with it.
Weather has turned cold this past week with temperatures dipping at night to 14F and reaching just above freezing during the day. The lack of moisture continues, and we have no snow. The majority of wetlands are now frozen with about a 1/2 inch of ice.
DUC Biologist Kelly Rempel
Most water is now iced over after a week of lows between -10F and -15F. Many birds have migrated out of western Saskatchewan, but a few flocks of Canadas, mallards, and even a few snow geese are holding tough on the little open water remaining.
DUC Biologist Ian MacFarlane
With no major storms or weather changes for the past 2-3 months there was no urgency to the fall migration this year. The recent cold snap has resulted in increased movement and concentrated birds. There are still good numbers of mallards and Canada geese in the area. Snow geese have been reported south of Stettler, which is further west than typical.
Much of southern Alberta experienced the first push of Arctic air and snow on Oct 27. Temperatures dropped from highs near 60-65 F on Saturday to 25 F on Sunday. Overnight temperatures were 5-10F. Snow fall amounts were in the 2-6 inch range. Temperatures have since recovered but many small ponds now have 1 inch of ice. More snow and cooler temperatures are in the forecast for the coming weekend.

Girl Who Lost Brother, Leg in Boston Bombing Inspires
Posted August 16th, 2013 @ 6:57am by Matt Cantor, Newser Staff
(NEWSER) – The Richard family suffered multiple tragedies at the Boston Marathon: Eight-year-old Martinwas killed in the attack, mom Denise received a head wound, and Jane, 7, lost a leg. But in a Tumblr postyesterday picked up by the New York Times, they show they haven't been beaten. "It is not all heartbreak for our family, as we are making progress on this long, difficult and painful road forward," they write—even if "an hour doesn't go by that we don't feel the agony of Martin's death and the senseless way it came about."

Today's letters: Stage magic
Published: Sunday, December 9, 2012 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, December 7, 2012 at 6:32 p.m.
To the editor: Growing up in Henderson County, my family would drive past the Flat Rock Playhouse every day. I wanted more than anything to see the shows on the marquee. I would crane my neck to see as much of the Playhouse as possible; I knew magic happened there.
My first FRP show was in 2003, Singin In The Rain. It was so amazing I almost cried. I have seen many shows since then, but the FRP shows are always a little more special than the others; a little more magic goes into them. I cannot imagine my children seeing an empty marquee, a shell of a playhouse, a ghost of what it was. I want my childrens stomachs to flip with the excitement of a new show on the marquee, and turn around in the car to see the magic that is there just driving by.
FRP is a family in need; it needs some magic returned from the community. Let the commissioners know that Henderson County is not content with an empty marquee; buy tickets to see the next amazing show. Give what you can and support it so your children can experience the magic, too.
Stacie Worrell
Wrong prices
A letter was printed in Thursdays paper (Money problems) that was built around numbers that were not correct and therefore painted a false narrative of ticket prices at the Flat Rock Playhouse.
The writer said, FRP was doing fine when tickets were $18-$27 10 years ago, rising steadily to $40 this year. Neither part of the statement is correct.
In regard to FRP was doing fine when tickets were $18-$27 10 years ago, the true numbers are that top ticket prices have not been at or below $27 in 16 years. The actual top ticket price 10 years ago was $34.
In regard to rising steadily to $40 this year, the top ticket price of $40 has been in place now for the past three seasons and is not changing for the coming 2013 season.
It is also interesting to note that only 18 percent of attendees pay that top ticket price due to various discounts, season passes, rush buys, group rates, and because of the ticket donations to many different school and nonprofit groups as part of its educational nonprofit charter.
It is vital that we all base our opinions on this and any issue on accurate information.
Robert Danos
Doubling down
To the editor: The president went off to Burma and made speeches about the importance of not allowing the Bush tax cuts to expire for the middle class.
In the same speeches, the president wants to allow the Bush tax cuts to expire for the so-called wealthy.
The Republicans have argued that the tax increases on the wealthy will only bring in a few billion (about $80 billion) of revenue each year against our debt of greater than $16 trillion and that we should be addressing the major contributors to our debt Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. If the presidents strategy was to address the major financial issues of the country, he would be meeting night and day with leaders of the Senate and House to find the best deal for the country.
But instead, the president is not showing any interest in a compromise deal. It is clear that he intends to double down on just one thing, allowing the Bush tax cuts to expire for the wealthy, and if he doesnt get that and only that, he plans to blame the Republicans for allowing taxes to increase on the middle class. He scores political points, but we will pay dearly.

Well, just thought I'd give everyone an update that looks at this section. (Hopefully that will grow over time.)
- We have authorization from both the city and the park board to start working on the course.
- All of the money for this course came from city funding and city grants, so there will be no money coming out of pockets this time around (thank God!). And, from the looks of it, the money available should be more than adequate.
- We're all trying to round people up for some work days here or there this fall/winter/spring so that we can finish this course up by next spring. (Should be VERY do-able.)
So, if anyone is even remotely interested in helping with the course...please email me or PM me, and I'll gladly get you involved. But, if you're the lazy ass that just sits around until everyone else does the work for you...the course will be available soon.
First work day: this Saturday, November 18th. (No, Harmon, I'm not trying to steal participants. If anyone is NOT planning on going to Muscatine, let me know...I still have some room in my van if you need a ride. We're just going to get started, anyway. But, don't break plans if you plan on going to Muscatine, that should be great time!) I'll keep everyone informed as to our next work day. (So you all can not come to that one, too.)

Vail official report: 0" new snow
Weather: Warm and sunny, beautiful day.
Liftline status: Getting busier by the minute
Run of the day: The Slot
Breakdown: It's an absolutely beautiful day at Vail, so it's no surprise that by 9:30 a.m. it was getting pretty busy out there. Today you'll find tons of sun, no wind, and a nice soft surface to carve into. With the new snow we received recently, the groomers are amazing.
Snowcast: Hard to say, there's something coming this weekend but the weathermen disagree on whether or not it will hit Vail and the western slope.

Why should LFC be Rodgers guinea pig?
Why should FSG allow Rodgers to make LFC his experiment just so he can gain experience? We need a seasoned manager who knows his stuff and knows what it's like to win titles. I've no idea what BS Rodgers said to Henry but it was clearly good enough to con him. I'm now thinking would we have been better off with Martinez? Then again I'd have neither of them and gone with Villas Boas. He's doing well at Spurs. We missed a trick there by not getting him..Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
"Why should FSG allow Rodgers to make LFC his experiment just so he can gain experience?" - Is it not their experiment? They appoint the manager and the types of player we bring in are heavily influenced by their philosophy.
"We need a seasoned manager who knows his stuff and knows what it's like to win titles." Like who? Rafa Benitez? Roy Hodgson? Kenny Dalglish? Thats 3 managers all experienced and all won titles, did that do the trick for us?
"I've no idea what BS Rodgers said to Henry but it was clearly good enough to con him. I'm now thinking would we have been better off with Martinez? Then again I'd have neither of them and gone with Villas Boas. He's doing well at Spurs. We missed a trick there by not getting him.."
Martinez and AVB, 1 portugese league title between them and both combined been in the managerial game for less then BR.
Slate the manager all day long, you have to have some logic to it though!

No thinking along the lines of Manchini that calibre.. Hodgson is #$%$ and KD had been out of the game too long. Had KD still been a manager at the very top when we appointed him that would've been different. We got a KD that hadn't been a manager for many years. He was out of touch and it showed. So you approve of a manager trying to cut his teeth at a top club like ours then? There's plaent y of candidates out there that would've been perfect for us.. it's just dangling the carrot in front of them to get them. Villias Boas has been great with Spurs just the man we needed. Yes manybe that contracts my statement about wanting someone with expererience. He's the exception to the rule. We missed a trick there by not getting him. He never was suited for Chelsea but at a club like Spurs & LFC he'd have more freedom.
Hobitez ..another question , who has Rogers added to the squad via his transfer dealings since he arrived that has made it a better squad ? Couhtino...yes perhaps. Allen..NO ! Borini ..NO ! Assaidi..NO ! Sturridge..NO ! Now he wants 12 mill to bring in another Swansea deadleg a 28 yr old deadleg too in Williams and he will be another defo NO ! So for the most part whos team is this..Id suggest KK's.
Hobitez...my logic..... results and the football we have been playing this last month the awful inconsistency that plagues this side that derives zero inspiration from their manager inanimate on the sideline. There is a problem some kind of weird undercurrent running through this squad and it needs to be dealt with and Rogers aint the man to deal with it. I believe its there primarily because of him and his style of management. I think despite all the well publicised kick-up-the- #$%$ hes sposed to have given certain players this same tactic isnt working with others hence this weird undercurrent in the squad and I think this is the main reason for the inconsistency in our form. Its HIS JOB to address such problems and I dont think hes doing it. This is a problem of "attitude" where certain members of the squad are concerned.

Do you lads know what an apprentice is? You speak as if Rodgers has no management experience at all, when the facts are actually quite the opposite; he's been involved in coaching for nearly 20 years. But I suppose learning the ropes as a youth coach or a reserve team coach does not count in your eyes, although most would consider this to be the apprenticeship period for first team management.
But if your only willing to look at experience as a first team manager it's at Watford and Reading where he cut his teeth, and then I suppose getting promoted from the championship and ensuring his clubs safety by establishing Swansea as a mid-table prem club does not count either. The excuse being it was Martinez's side he got promoted not his own. But if he can't take credit for what he did in 2 seasons at Swansea why should he be blamed for what he's done in less than a season with us. Surely the logic should be if you're not happy with BR right now, is to blame KD!
But since we're on the subject of being short sighted or long sighted or the need to have experience doing it at the highest level before being trusted with a top job, I'd just ask some to reflect on what our past great manager did. Shanks had never managed in the top flight before he came to us; it took him 2 full seasons to get promoted back to the first division, then another 2 seasons to win the title. But by the logic on here while some would never have hired him because he'd never done it with a big club before, others would have chucked him out before he finished his first full season, and most likely we'd never have seen what most of us miss.

Dave I was there when Shanks was appointed please dont mention this Muppet Rogers again in the same breath as u use to mention the Great Man. Bill Shankly established an attitude at Anfield that transformed into a winning mentality that in turn became a habit of winning. This guy has just got a collection of individuals without a winning mentality as he hasnt even yet managed to establish the "attitude" that precedes te "winning mentality"....Yes he came from Huddersfield Town and nobody less than Dennis Law himself said that had he not left for Liverpool he would unquestionably have turned Huddersfield into a similar dynasty that he managed to establish at Anfield...Law was his protoge at Huddersfield. He bought in very well and immediately upon his arrival he started to dismantle the first eleven and upon returning to Div 1 made an immediate impact via his signings of RonYeats a towering centrehalf "The Collosus" as he was known and Ian St John to partner Roger Hunt up front along with Cally on one wing and the inspired signing from PNE the flying winger Peter Thompson on the other...he made at this time no poor signings at all and inculcated that winning mentality into his lads...Rogers will never do that because hes incapable of it he can produce an average Prem side maybe mid table side but his sides will always labour under the curse of inconsistency and that is all down to him.

Or demote Rodgers to assistant manager and have someone with more expereince to show Rodgers how it's done.

One of the reasons free operating systems are so great is because of their bug reporting features. Ubuntu is no exception. Like most other GNU/Linux operating systems, Ubuntu allows users to file bug reports using its bug reporting site, Launchpad. In the free software world, each user becomes a potential beta tester and gets the chance to contribute to the community without ever coding or writing documentation. Unfortunately, Launchpad's bug reporting tool often scares away users who have no idea what a ticket, project, or distribution is.
First off... is it really a bug?
The first keyword for each bug is "replication": the first step is to make sure you can actually get the software to behave oddly "at will". Sometimes, applications might behave oddly and it seems impossible to find out what the steps are to reproduce the problem. For example the application might have several files in your home folder (
/home/user/.vlc for example) and one of them might be causing the crash. This is why it's always a good idea to try and replicate the bug with a fresh user, or after wiping out the application's private data (if you can locate it, and if you know that the application doesn't store anything important to you there...).
Another important issue is that you need to make absolute sure you're using the latest version of the software. Bugs are constantly reported and fixed; reporting an old bug will simply waste the developers' time (and yours!). To find out if you're using the latest version of a piece of software, find out where the software's home page is, and check what the latest version is. Sometimes, your Ubuntu repository won't have the latest version of the software (if that's the case, use my article on finding Ubuntu software ).
Finally, make sure you are actually dealing with a bug. You can find this out by reading the software manual (you can find it under Help → Support in Ubuntu and K Menu → Help in Kubuntu).
Reporting bugs in Ubuntu
To start, I'll explain how to report a bug in the main Ubuntu software. We'll pretend there is a bug that makes Ubuntu crash when it turns on. First, go to the bugs.launchpad.net site and click Report a Bug. This will ask you to log in with your Launchpad account. If you don't have one, use your email address to register and follow the instructions that you will receive via email. Then, back at the bug reporting page, select your distribution (Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, and Edubuntu users should use the default "Ubuntu"), type in a summary of your problem, and hit Continue. For this example, the summary for my example will be "Ubuntu crashes when it turns on" (figure 1).
The next page will show you a list of bugs that sound similar to yours. Make sure that your bug isn't one of these, as developers are famous for blowing up at users who submit duplicate bugs. If none of them are yours, hit "No, I'd like to report a new bug". Type in exactly what you were doing when the crash happened, along with your machine information (e.g. Ubuntu 7.10 on a Dell Dimension 4700 with 1GB of RAM and an ATI Radeon x300 video card, don't worry if you can't get all the information). Also, include the text in any dialog or error message that might pop up. In other words: put in as much information as possible. A bad example of a bug report is:
Ubuntu crashes, help!
A better one is
When Ubuntu turns on, it pops up a "124t6136 truncated, need to reboot" message and reboots. I'm running Ubuntu 7.10 on a Dell Dimension 4700 with 1GB of RAM and an ATI Radeon x300 video card.
If you have any logs, do not paste them. Instead, use a pastebin like Ubuntu Pastebin or Pastebin.com. The rule of thumb: if it's more than ten lines long, use a pastebin. An example of a good bug report is shown in figure 2.
Now, hit Submit Bug Report. A new window with your bug report will appear. You can close it, as any time a person responds you will be notified by email. You may also be asked for more information ("Can you give us your /etc/log.txt" or "What processor are you running?"). If so, add a comment with the appropriate information.
Reporting application bugs
Now, as you may have guessed, most of the bugs in Ubuntu aren't Ubuntu's fault. Rather, they are different applications' fault. For example, when you log in and the weather applet in Ubuntu disappears, it's not Ubuntu's fault: it's the weather applet's fault. Or when VLC crashes, it's not Ubuntu's problem: it's VLC's. Luckily, many of these projects have their own bug reporting tool hosted on Launchpad.
Note: You should always first file a bug against Ubuntu, as it may have been an Ubuntu problem (a faulty package for example).
Suppose that every time VLC opens a WMA file, it inexplicably crashes. Here's how to file the bug report. First, open up the Launchpad site and Report a Bug. But don't choose "distribution". Instead, choose a project (clicking the "Choose" button will help you find your project, see figure 3). From here on, it's the same as before: add a summary, as much information as possible, and put all logs in pastebins.
Congratulations! Now, the next time Sound Juicer crashes or netcfg stops working, rather than letting it continue to wreck your life and the lives of countless other users, you can actually get it fixed. Now what are you waiting for? Go out there and start reporting!
Launchpad is not Free Software
I thought Free Software Magazine was about Free Software. You are encouraging people to use non-free software.
So what?
Oh come one, Sourceforge and Freshmeat are not free software too, and I don't see anyone complaining about it.
Besides, Launchpad may be free software, even under BSD license, but Canonical is just not distributing it, so they don't distribute the source code.
In fact, parts of Launchpad are free software - ie. Storm (an object-relational mapper for Python).
Windows Vista and Apple Mac are not free software too
Does that justify advertising non-free software on Free Software Magazine?
This article is about reporting bugs...
This article is about reporting bugs in Ubuntu.
I don't know, but to me not explaining how to report bugs in Ubuntu because portions of the bug reporting software is not free wouldn't be such a good idea.
Following this rationale, we should never mention "Search this in Google", because Google is not free software.
It is just a shame it's not a danger to us
You can't get a copy of the program that Google runs or Amazon runs either. The difference is Google is not claiming to be a Free Software company. Neither of them is into Free Software Business either. The issue is when some one in the community does not believe in the values that makes this community and has to look for comparison with proprietary companies. Does Red Hat, Debain, Gentoo or any other Free Software project run a proprietary bug tracker?
"If a proprietary program is on Amazon's computer, that's Amazon's conscience. Now I would like them to have freedom too. I hope they will want freedom, and they will work with me so that we all get freedom, but it's not directly an attack on you and me if Amazon has a proprietary program on their computer. It's not crucially important to you and me whether Amazon uses a free operating system like GNU plus Linux, or a free web server like Apache. I mean I hope they will, I hope free software will be popular, but if they give up their freedom, that's just a shame it's not a danger to us who want freedom."
In this case of Canonical, it is even more shameful when their business model depends on Sharing and Free Software. I don't know if Ubuntu community has access to the source code. Debian project servers are maintained by Debian developers, Fedora project servers are maintained by Fedora developers, same for Gentoo and umpteen other distros. Their developers have access to these software and their improvements are shared with the rest of the community because if some one from GNOME project fixes a bug in bugzilla, Fedora project gets the benefit. You can't consider these as just services like Google Search or Amazon because these are the backbone of a GNU/Linux distribution and this is run by a company running Free Software business and these software is similar to own own systems for every Ubuntu developer/contributor. For an Ubuntu user Launchpad may be a service but for every developer/contributor it is just like the web browser software we use on our computer. And I thought every Free Software user is also a Free Software developer.
My point is, should we support those who does not give back to the community or should we support those who always showed commitment to Free Software?
There is a great discussion going on in FSDaily where the issue is looked from multiple angles and there are many points raised which I don't want to repeat here.
And "search this in google example" you gave is a shallow argument. In the same way an article about using Google Search or Tips and Tricks of using Amazon.com does not fit to be published in Free Software Magazine an article about Launchpad should not be in Free Software Magazine.
Are you suggesting...
Are you suggesting that we don't tell our readers how to report bugs in Ubuntu (therefore improving a really important free software project) because the bug tracking system is based on non-free software?
They are two different issues.
I will never have a problem explaining people how to report a bug in Ubuntu, even if the bug tracking system is not free.
I agree that it would be nice if Launchpad were released under a free license. I talked to Mark about it, and he explained why it isn't - his answer made a lot of sense. What he thinks is summarised in the posts in this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/launchpad/+bug/50699
Commitment to the values makes a project important
... to the community, not popularity.
Bill Gates could explain why Windows is not Free Software and it would make sense to many, but that is besides the point. If a software is not Free it is non-free. Period.
The issue here is about shame and not a danger as someone pointed out in the FSDaily thread. How can we encourage people to use Free Software when we are not using it? How can we tell people to create Free Software when we don't make our software Free?
Community should be supporting those who give back to us and who respects our values rather than take everything we have (we have no problem in that and we are only happy about that) but refuse to give anything they create. When someone believes Free Software is not right for code he writes, how can we ever trust him to be supporting Free Software?
So we could talk about reporting bugs to Debian, Fedora, gNewSense or any other distribution which uses a Free Software bug tracker or you can talk about using bugzilla or trac which most upstream project use.
Why do we use Blender to edit videos or Gimp for graphics, because they are Free Software. We had to use non-free software when we did not have a choice and we were writing a replacement (early days of GNU project), but that does not justify using non-free software when we have good Free Software replacement for bug trackers.
Remember bit-keeper?
Nobody is encouraging other developers to use Launchpad
You seem to be making the mistake--both here and over at FSDaily--that this article is somehow praising, supporting or encouraging the deployment of Launchpad. By my reading, it's not.
How can we encourage people to use Free Software when we are not using it? How can we tell people to create Free Software when we don't make our software Free?
So you don't like the fact that Ubuntu uses a non-free product--okay neither do I nor I suspect do many here. Your complaints about the apparent dichotomy of Ubuntu using Launchpad would be better aimed at Canoncial--wouldn't they?
So we could talk about reporting bugs to Debian, Fedora, gNewSense or any other distribution which uses a Free Software bug tracker or you can talk about using bugzilla or trac which most upstream project use.
If we want new GNU/Linux users--which it's safe to say will probably be Ubuntu users--to join in, we need to encourage them to do so. Filing (useful) bug reports is part of that.
Your argument that this piece has no place in FSM (or FSD) might have had a point had this been a review but Andrew is neither reviewing Launchpad nor encouraging other development communities to use it. He is explaining how to file a helpful, useful bug report via the only reporting mechanism available to Ubuntu users. This is about the process and helping the developers, not the software that Ubuntu choose to use.

One of the top three fundraising activities of the Rolla Lioness Club was set to open Friday night.
"We're going to open tonight unless something drastic happens," said Jaci Huebner, chair of the Christmas in the Park light display, while both precipitation and temperature were threatening to fall Friday afternoon.
The Christmas in the Park is an activity that families in Phelps County and surrounding counties, especially families with small children, look forward to each year.
"Last year we had more than 4,100 cars go through, and most of them had three or four kids inside," said Huebner.
More than 70 lighted displays will elicit oooohs and aaaahs from the thousands of passing cars this year just as the displays have each Christmas season for more than a dozen years.
Along the trail of more than a mile, passersby will see familiar displays from years past, plus many new displays and some that have been gone for a year or two and are returning.
Planning for the event and overseeing the set-up of the displays by businesses and non-profit organizations, as well as working on setting up the Lioness Club's own multiple displays has been time-consuming for Huebner and other club volunteers.
"We were out there last night until after 1 a.m.," she said.
Hours for the display at Rolla Lions Club Park, Highway 63 South, are 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday through Thursday. The display will be open through the evening of Dec. 21.
The display is free, but donations will be accepted. Most people who drive through donate, for Christmas in the Park is one of the club's three main fundraisers. The others are the funnel cake sales at the Lions Club Carnival during the Fourth of July and the sale of chocolate-covered strawberries during Valentine's Day.
The money the club raises goes back into various community service programs.
"We give to the schools, to Shop With a Cop, to Heart to Heart," Huebner said. "We started giving to the Newburg after-school program. We get requests all the time. It keeps us hopping."
People who drive through the display will receive gifts. "RMU gave us $750 and the Lioness Club added enough to buy $1,000 worth of books," Huebner said. Those books will be given to children until they run out.
"We'll also give candy canes," she said. And food coupons from local restaurants will also be handed out on a first-come-first-served basis.

8.1 Introduction to Drug Offenses
Revised to May 23, 2013
The statutes in Title 21, Chapter 420b, Dependency-Producing Drugs, define the entire regulatory scheme for controlled substances, encompassing a broad range of prohibited acts from illegal street sales to improper dispensing of such substances by doctors or pharmacists. The statutes criminalizing the distribution of controlled substances (§§ 21a-277, 21a-278a, and 21a-278a) include numerous verbs that describe the variety of transactions that may be punishable. They are:
transports with the intent to sell or dispense
possesses with the intent to sell or dispense
administers to another person
Note that § 21a-278a incorporates § 21a-277 and § 21a-278 but specifies a limited subset of applicable transactions.
Of these, "administer," "prescribe," and "dispense" are defined in § 21a-240 in a very specialized manner that applies to practitioners, which includes doctors, pharmacists, scientific investigators, etc. See § 21a-240 (43). In State v. Jackson, 13 Conn. App. 288, 297 (1988), the information charged the defendant with "possession with the intent to sell or dispense." As the statutory definition of "dispense" makes reference to practitioners, which was not applicable to the defendant, the trial court instructed on the ordinary meaning of the word "dispense." The Appellate Court said that this was improper when there was an applicable statutory definition. These verbs should, therefore, only be used in a case involving a practitioner.
Because the trial court is
primarily faced with illegal street sales, the instructions in this section are
limited to "sells" and "possesses with the intent to sell."
The definition of "sale" in § 21a-240 (5) encompasses a broad range of transactions. See State v. Webster, 308 Conn. 43, 54-55 (2013) (sales includes offers to sell and attempts to transfer narcotics; there is no requirement that a drug transaction be completed before liability may be imposed); State v. Wassil, 233 Conn. 174, 193 (1995) (a gift of narcotics comes within the meaning of the statutory definition of sale).
Defining the
Controlled Substance
"Controlled substance" is defined as any "drug, substance, or immediate precursor in schedules I to V, inclusive, of the Connecticut controlled substance scheduling regulations adopted pursuant to section 21a-243." There are numerous controlled substances within these schedules. The trial court should ascertain which controlled substance is alleged. If the substance is within such schedules, the court may instruct that if the jury finds it proved that the substance is what it is alleged to be, it is included within the definition of a controlled substance. State v. Nieves, 186 Conn. 26, 31 (1982); State v. Vessichio, 197 Conn. 644, 650 (1985), cert. denied, 475 U.S. 1122, 106 S.Ct. 1642, 90 L.Ed.2d 187 (1986); State v. Kiser, 43 Conn. App. 339, 359-60, cert. denied, 239 Conn. 945 (1996), cert. denied, 520 U.S. 1190, 117 S.Ct. 1478, 137 L.Ed.2d 690 (1997).
In some cases, the parties may stipulate to the nature of the substance. See Stipulations, Instruction 2.6-9.
There are statutory definitions for the following substances, which the court may incorporate into the instructions as appropriate, depending on the nature of the substances alleged in the information:
In some cases, the quantity of the substance determines the punishment. In these cases the jury will have to make a determination that a certain amount of a given substance was involved. Note that effective July 1, 2011, the possession of less than one-half ounce of a cannabis-type substance is an infraction.
Lesser included
Distribution of any controlled substance other than marijuana (§ 21a-277) is a lesser included offense of distribution of certain quantities of specified controlled substances (§ 21a-278). State v. Bradley, 60 Conn. App. 534, 546, cert. denied, 255 Conn. 921 (2000).
Possession (§ 21a-279) is a lesser included offense of possession with intent to sell (§ 21a-277) as long as the substances are the same. State v. Johnson, 137 Conn. App. 733, 753 (2012), rev'd on other grounds, 316 Conn. 34 (2015).
Possession of narcotics (§ 21a-279) and possession of narcotics within 1500 feet of a school (§ 21a-279 (d)) are separate offenses. State v. Otto, 50 Conn. App. 1, 20, cert. denied, 247 Conn. 927 (1998). But possession of cocaine under § 21a-279 (a) is a lesser included offense of possession of cocaine with intent to sell under § 21a-278 (b) and possession with intent to sell within 1500 feet of a school under § 21a-279 (d). State v. Barnes, 47 Conn. App. 590, 592 (1998).
Possession of two narcotic substances at the same time does not constitute two separate offenses under § 21a-279 (a). State v. Rawls, 198 Conn. 111 (1985).

HK Army's PVTLock system is the soul of the new mask. The KLR is the first goggle system designed to incorporate a completely interchangeable lens, strap, and hinge that can be easily switched out and customized in seconds. HK's patent-pending PVTLock is easy to use. To switch out the lens you simply unclip the strap, open the strap-retained PVTLock hinges, replace the lens and clip the PVTLock hinges back in place.
One of the best elements of the PVTLock system is color and lens customization. There are 10 total lens options for every situation, 15 different strap colors and 16 PVTLock color options. Between the different color straps, masks, hinges and lenses you can create over 15,000 unique combinations. Aesthetically, the KLR is one of the most advanced goggles we have seen.

Minnesota Department of Human Rights Commissioner Kevin Lindsey will explore our state's changing demographics and what these trends mean for jobs, education, and our economic future in a public forum in the Large Community Outreach Room at Ridgewater College's Willmar campus from 6:00 to 8:00 PM on Thursday, Oct. 25. In addition, Commissioner Lindsey will discuss the impact of the proposed Voter ID and Marriage Amendments to Minnesota's Constitution, and provide an overview of the Department of Human Rights' role in ending discrimination in Minnesota. The Commissioner will discuss how Minnesota's demographics have shifted dramatically over the past decade, a trend that will accelerate and change the makeup of our workforce. As predominantly white workers of the "baby boom" generation retire in increasing numbers, the share of people of color in the workforce is expected to more than double. "Minnesota will not have the highly skilled workers it will need in 2020 and beyond unless we find ways to include more minorities in the workforce today, and provide training and education for the workforce of tomorrow," Commissioner Lindsey said. The Commissioner will explain why the Governor's initiatives in education are important, and discuss the efforts of the Department of Human Rights, working in collaboration with other organizations, to ensure that all Minnesotans have a chance to compete for job opportunities as our economy regains strength. In addressing the Voter ID and Marriage Amendments, Commissioner Lindsey will analyze the arguments pro and con, and explain why the Department of Human Rights opposes the Amendments. A public comment and question-and-answer session will follow the Commissioner's presentation. The forum is hosted by the Department of Multicultural Affairs, Ridgewater College.

Upski's insights are incredibly relevent and good. If you don't think that his honest thoughts on racism have merit, you probably don't have a very thorough understanding of your own racism or role in the racist system of our country. I hope you think about that shit again, for everyone's sake.
Embryo wrote: I wasn't really talking to you - I was talking to the first guy who bashed Upski, who said something ridiculous about race and his writing style. What he wrote leads me to believe that he had a negative reaction to some of upski's insights about white privilege - because it's a common reaction. And yes, I believe it is a flawed and shortsighted one.
I enjoyed reading Upski's writing and that's regardless of my opinion of his ideas.
Not to be disrespectful (in fact, quite the opposite), but in Canada race relations and institutional racism are issues that work out very differently than in the United States, and so you may not be so qualified to comment on such things. Rather than me trying to remember all of his specific points about race (which I cannot do because I have read many other things about race and a lot of them blur together), why don't you bring up specific issues you have with his ideas? And I think a lot of my responses will be explaining how it applies in the US, whereas it might not apply in Canada.

A 25-year resident of Frank Callaghan Towers in Oak Ridge, Beatrice 'BB' Duguay celebrated her 94th birthday with family and friends on Aug. 8. Daughter Diane Omasta of Knoxville said BB and her husband, Joseph C., moved from Maine to Oak Ridge in 1945 to work at the plants. They lived in an Oak Ridge 'flat top' and had to don boots to tread through the muddy streets of The Secret City at that time, Omasta said. BB also worked at the laundromat at Jefferson Center and was a bartender and manager at The Alexander Motor Inn, where she met several dignitaries.

STOCKTON - Authorities used a police dog to help them apprehend two people who attempted to flee from a stolen vehicle Tuesday morning, police officers said.
Members of the Delta Regional Auto Theft Task Force requested assistance from the Stockton Police Department after spotting an occupied stolen vehicle about 7:45 a.m., authorities said. Police attempted to make a traffic stop near East Harding Way and Sycamore Avenue, but the driver refused to yield, leading officers on a short pursuit, officials said.
Police terminated the pursuit for safety reasons due to the proximity of a nearby school, but the vehicle was located a short time later, officers said. The occupants of the vehicle attempted to flee on foot, but a police dog was deployed, and both occupants were taken into custody, police said.
Joshua Byrum, 29, and Katherine Giacovoni, 25, were arrested on suspicion of auto theft, evading police and other crimes, authorities said.

Illustration Inspiration
Category: Illustration,
Posted: Feb 20th 2012
No. of comments: 1
To aid in your photoshop fun it's worth looking at Debut Art — representing some of the UKs best illustration talents (and with offices in Edinburgh, Paris and New York, the talent is pretty much coming from all over!). If you are represented by these guys, then you've made it! (Thanks for the tip, Jo!)
Here you will find every illustrative technique going — the use of hand drawn, photoshop and vector.
Remember in the real world you may not actually illustrate yourself, you may in fact commission an illustrator. So when you see work you like, bookmark it (I can't tell you how many days I've wasted trying to track down an illustrator on the internet when I cant remember their name!)
Another couple of good sites to check out for illustration inspiration:
As you're looking through these sites, bear in mind you are looking for inspiration — and not stuff to rip off. Identifying techniques, how they assist with a design and how you might evolve and develop your own style through this inspiration is what is going to make you and your work unique.

- Why Mighty Leaf?
ML Organic Hojicha
ML Organic Hojicha green tea is made from toasted bancha - a mixture of leaves and stems pan-fired to impart a flavor reminiscent of a roasted grain. Within the green tea category, this tea has lower levels of caffeine. Enjoy this organic tea packaged in a silken tea pouch, a gourmet teabag treat.
Organic green tea
Brown and tan roasted leaves
Rich, nutty
Golden-brown liquor
Sweet and smooth, roasted woody flavor
Preparing the perfect cup of tea is a process to be savored. Watch how the traditional elements harmoniously come together to make the perfect cup and enjoy the liberation of pure tea goodness.
This is what we call the Mighty Leaf signature multi-sensory ("sensory melange") tea experience. Come share with us and learn how to get infused.
The quality of tea is affected by the quality of water used to prepare it. Using filtered or bottled water is best. If possible, avoid brewing tea with tap, distilled or mineral water. Never over-boil water, as it results in flat-tasting tea.
1) Heat filtered or bottled water to a rolling boil and then let sit for 1-2 minutes or heat to 170F-180F. 2) While the water is heating pour hot water into your teapot and cups, let sit and then drain completely. A warm teapot will maintain the requisite temperature for superior tasting tea.
Whole Leaf Tea
Slowly open up our specially created, sensually handcrafted tea pouch and enjoy the aroma of fresh whole tea leaves. Use one Mighty Leaf tea pouch per cup.
Infusion Time
Pour water over tea pouch. Time steeping carefully and infuse for 2 - 3 minutes. Watch how the leaves within the pouch have room to gracefully unfurl in your cup, creating a rich and flavorful infusion and a superior tasting tea.
Savor the Leaf
Sip your cup and rediscover the pleasure of the way tea was naturally meant to be. This is the magic of Mighty Leaf.
Health Benefits
Both black and green tea originate from the same plant, the Camellia sinensis. However, the final product differs in style, taste and caffeine content due to differences in processing. Green teas are not fermented or fully oxidized like black teas, but instead steamed or pan fired.
Like black teas though, green tea contains an abundant source of natural plant-derived antioxidant compounds called polyphenols. Included within the broad antioxidant polyphenol class are flavonoids and catechins. A kind of flavonoid, catechins are found in tea leaves and may provide protective antioxidant action against harmful free radicals. Research shows that these free radicals cause heart disease, some kinds of cancer and increase the risk of strokes.
Drinking green tea with its high antioxidant levels help protect the body by combating dangerous free radical activity. Further health benefits of green tea may include lowering cholesterol, strengthening the immune system, promoting healthy blood vessel functionality and even protecting teeth and bones. In addition, green tea provides a source of nutrients including magnesium. Manganese, potassium, calcium, and the vitamins C and K all in trace amounts.

NEWARK -- It was fitting, in his own way, that the last match Albany coaching icon Kermit Bankson would coach was for seventh place at the North Coast Section tournament.
"It's been a nice run," Bankson said as he prepares to retire after 43 years as head coach at Albany, a tenure which made him the dean of coaches in the NCS. "A lot of people came up and shook my hand and said 'Hello,' people I don't even know."
Albany sent seven wrestlers to the tournament, though only two -- Garen Pelesauma, at 152 pounds, and Cyrus Wafford, at 120 -- made it through the second day of the double-elimination tournament.
"We got a couple of kids through the second day, and that's what you want to do," Bankson said.
It ended with a victory, when Pelesauma edged Eric Oeth of Campolindo for seventh place at 152 pounds.
"It felt great; it felt like I had to win it for the team, and for coach Bankson most of all," Pelesauma said. "It was Bankson's last match, I was the last person in for Albany. I'm sorry I couldn't get any higher; I was trying for third and trying to go to state."
Pelesauma said it was especially emotional week of practice leading up to the tournament, as the Cougars wanted to give Bankson a memorable sendoff.
"Everybody had something in their hearts, and we practiced harder than I've ever seen in my wrestling career," he said. "He's helped me a lot through wrestling, but more than that he's helped me mature. I'm a better person in the world and that's because of Bankson."
During his career, Bankson has coached two wrestlers who placed at the CIF State championships, and has had a handful of NCS medal winners. Though the medals are a badges of honor and achievement, it's always been more important to him, he said, for his wrestlers to be successful after they leave the sport.
"Everybody likes to win, it just makes you feel better," Bankson said. "But it's more of what they get out of this and can carry on later."
Bankson, who wears an irrepressible smile, said that his last NCS tournament hasn't been an emotional experience. There's been too much work to do, he said. The emotion will come later when he's chasing his grandkids around his house instead of chasing wrestlers around the mats.
If Bankson had any hopes of leaving quietly, those were dashed before the consolation finals. NCS Commissioner Gil Lemmon presented him with a plaque in commemoration of his years of work and service to the sport as a coach and teacher, which was greeted by a long round of applause.
"They won't just let me get out of the gym quietly," he said.
"I was wrestling to win, not just advance," McNaney said. "It was pretty tough to just come back."
Each won four straight elimination matches Friday. Aquino started his second day by defeating Harrison Walsh of De La Salle 7-5 in the fifth round of consolation, which guaranteed him a medal. He then outlasted Albany's Pelesauma 12-9, but his five-match streak came to an end with a 9-1 loss to Ian Black of Healdsburg in the consolation semifinal.
The run ended with a 5-4 loss to Marc Wilhelm of College Park in the fifth-place match.
McNaney ensured himself of a medal with a 6-1 victory over Harry Hanna of Terra Linda in his first match Saturday, then was pinned by East Bay Athletic League rival Connor Veit of Amador Valley.
"It was kind of a downer," McNaney said. "He'd only beat me by a point in overtime, but he pinned me."
