Baker, an award-winning cartoonist and graphic-novel illustrator, gives aspiring cartoonists irreverent advice about how to succeed in their chosen field. He offers instruction in basic drawing techniques such as choosing the right tools and discusses the importance of learning to draw shapes, exaggerating, and using references. But the author's most inspiring advice focuses on how to succeed as a cartoonist. Using a no-nonsense tone, he explains to young artists that if they want to become cartoonists, they must begin by drawing cartoons. He also argues that young people do not need a "plan B" career to fall back on because if they really practice and become proficient at what they love to do, they will succeed. Baker's straightforward guidance is enhanced by his own unique black-and-white and full-color cartoons. This guide will help inspire young artists to stop procrastinating and start drawing.-Mari Pongkhamsing, St. Perpetua School, Lafayette, CA

Links and Reading for May 9th
May 9, 2011 11:00 pm
Some of the more interesting and important items for May 9th :
- Google to Unveil Online Music Service – WSJ.com – Google Inc. is preparing as early as Tuesday to unveil a new online music service similar to a service recently launched by Amazon.com Inc., according to people familiar with the matter, a move that escalates the battle to create the next generation of Internet businesses for storing and listening to music.
- Microsoft Near Deal to Buy Skype for Nearly $8 Billion – WSJ.com – At a value close to $8 billion, the Skype deal would rank at or near the top of the biggest acquisitions in the 36-year history of Microsoft, a company that traditionally has shied away from large deals. In 2007, Microsoft paid approximately $6 billion to acquire online advertising firm aQuantive Inc. Many current and former Microsoft executives believe Microsoft significantly overpaid for that deal. But they are also relieved that Microsoft gave up on an unsolicited $48 billion offer for Yahoo Inc. nearly three years ago. Yahoo is valued at half that sum today.
- Sputtering Video | Walt Mossberg | Mossberg's Mailbox | AllThingsD – Every time I want to view a video on YouTube, the video repeatedly starts and stops. Sometimes a five-minute video takes 20 to 30 minutes to view. This happens on all my computers and on my smartphone. What can I do to correct this problem?
- LinkedIn IPO Price Range Values Site at More Than $3 Billion | John Paczkowski | Digital Daily | AllThingsD – LinkedIn set the price range for its much anticipated IPO this morning, saying it expects to offer 7.84 million shares for $32 to $35 a share. That would make the offering worth as much as $274.4 million and LinkedIn, which will have 94.5 million shares outstanding after it, worth more than $3 billion.
- Rare Earth Metals Supply Seen Hitting Surplus Levels By 2013 – Focus on Funds – Barrons.com – Prices for rare earth metals have shot through the roof since 2009 as supplies of the strategic materials used in everything from high-powered magnets to mobile phone screens haven't been able to keep up with demand.
- CME Hikes Trading Fees As Oil Prices Jump 6% – Focus on Funds – Barrons.com – The CME Group (CME) said today that after the close of business Tuesday, it will raise such so-called margin requirements for futures trading in a wide range of oil products.
- China's yuan at record ahead of Washington talks – MarketWatch – HONG KONG (MarketWatch) — China's yuan rose to a fresh record against the U.S. dollar on Monday, edging up a fraction from its close in the previous trading session ahead of senior-level talks between Chinese and U.S. officials, slated for later Monday in Washington. China's central bank set the official central parity rate for the U.S. dollar at 6.4988 yuan, compared to Friday's setting of 6.5003 yuan. The level represented a record high against the dollar, according to the state-run Xinhua news agency. The U.S. dollar dropped below the 6.50-level for the first time on April 29, and was at 6.4955 around midday in East Asia on Monday, according to FactSet data.
- Microsoft near over-$7-billion deal for Skype: WSJ – MarketWatch – LOS ANGELES (MarketWatch) — Microsoft Corp. is nearing a deal worth more than $7 billion to buy Internet-phone provider Skype Technologies SA, The Wall Street Journal reported late Monday, citing people familiar with the matter. Talks on the deal were wrapping up Monday evening, with an agreement to be announced as early as Tuesday, the report said, but added the transaction could still fall apart. Microsoft and Skype declined to comment for the report, the newspaper said.
- U.S. Releases bin Laden Videos – WSJ.com – WASHINGTON—The U.S. government released five video clips of Osama bin Laden that were seized by Navy SEALs during the raid on his compound, providing the first photographic evidence of what officials described as the al Qaeda leader's "active command-and-control center" in Pakistan.

A remote sensing and GIS-based model of habitats and biodiversity in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem
Abstract:We used remotely sensed data and geographical information systems (GIS) to categorize habitats, then determined the relationship between remotely sensed habitat categorizations and species distribution patterns. Three forest types and six meadow types in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, USA, were classified using Landsat TM data. All plant species with 5% cover or greater, 31% of the butterfly species, and 20% of the bird species exhibited significant differences in distribution among meadow types. Sites of highest species richness coincided for plants, birds, and butterflies and were found in mesic meadows.

Sound: The sound on this DVD is not really as great as it is on the album. All in all though, it is very good and easy to understand. The musical styles used in this record vary as it is compiled of over thirty years of the bands work. The interesting thing about this DVD is that you get to see how the musical styles evolved over time as the band worked from a classical rock sounding band into the kings of heavy metal. The sound on the videos isnt really outstanding. It is rather faded. The live sounds on the album are actually very good though, and in my opinion, were the best parts of the DVD. // 9
Overall Impression: My overall impression is that this is probably the best music DVD I have ever purchased. I personally surprised to have not seen a review posted on it up here. What I really like about it is the BBC sessions because they are some of the earliest ever performances of the band and it is very interesting to watch and see how they grew. I honestly don't think that there is anything that I dislike about it. It is honestly that great. I would buy this DVD again and again. My DVD collection is not complete without it. // 10

English Language Tutor for Refugees

WhenIt's flexible! We'll work with your schedule.
Where3443 N. Central Ave.Phoenix, AZ 85012
The clients we serve require basic social services to transition to their new lives in the United States and education in English language and other skills. English is an integral part of their resettlement process. Few clients who do not speak English can successfully find employment and attain quality of life for themselves and their families after years of violence, trauma and the struggle to survive with meager resources. Because English language competency is necessary for most employment in the United States, clients require special assistance practicing material from the formal ESL classes offered through our agency.
The efforts of the intern will positively affect clients in gaining more competencies in English language. The improvement of clients in this area will assist the resettlement services in increasing client eligibility in employment and consequently in obtaining self-sufficiency at a more rapid rate. The hours must be consistent on a weekly basis and they must be during the hours that our office is open (8:00am-4:30pm). Applicants should be self-motivated as much of this position will be completed with minimal supervision. Applicants should be comfortable working in a multi-cultural environment and communicating with people with limited English skills.
Job duties include:
- Provide small group lessons in English as a second language for refugee clients
- Provide instruction and curriculum with guidance from Refugee Focus staff

Libor revelations15 Jul 2012

US and UK regulators came to know of Libor 'low-balling' in early 2008
Top US and UK officials were aware in early 2008 that large international banks might have intentionally distorted the London interbank offered rate, but a trove of releases by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and the Bank of England on Friday left unanswered how aggressively authorities pressed banks to address the problem.
In a transcript of an April 11, 2008, telephone call between Barclays and the New York Fed, an employee of the UK bank acknowledged to an analyst at the central bank that the lender was "not posting, um, an honest Libor" and misreporting interest rate data to avoid "unwanted attention". In October of 2008, after the financial crisis worsened, a Barclays worker told the New York Fed that the key global interest rate - Libor - was "rubbish".
Some of the records released by the BoE appear to undercut the recent statement by deputy governor Paul Tucker that he was unaware at the time of questions about the honesty of Libor submissions. The documents show Tucker was copied on emails between the New York Fed and BoE in early June 2008, in which the Fed offered "recommendations for enhancing the credibility of Libor", including steps to eliminate the banks' "incentive to misreport".
But it wasn't clear, based on the disclosures, whether US or UK regulators pressed the issue beyond efforts in mid-2008 by US Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner - the then president of the New York Fed - for changes in the Libor-setting mechanism.
The cache of material released on Friday also reveals that the New York Fed raised the issue of Libor-rigging on June 5, 2008 with the Interagency Financial Markets Group, an influential cross-department panel established by then US president George W Bush to deal with the global banking crisis.
In a presentation titled "Market concerns regarding Libor", the Fed noted that the British Bankers' Association, the trade body that sets Libor, made "no changes to the composition of any Libor panels" as part of its published recommendations on May 30 that year.
Meanwhile, a report by the Financial Services Authority into the Libor-rigging scandal has revealed that many of those involved in manipulating the benchmark global inter-bank lending rate at several financial institutions were former Barclays employees.
The FSA analysis into the scandal noted that "at least 12" of the US dollar Libor requests made to Barclays submitters "were made on behalf of external traders that had previously worked at Barclays and were now working at other banks".
Reacting to the news, John Thurso, the Liberal Democrat MP named last week as a member of the Parliamentary Commission on Banking Standards, said the disclosures were "clearly a cause for concern" and should be examined as part of the panel's banking inquiry.
The US Justice Department's criminal division is understood to have identified potential criminal wrongdoing by leading banks and individuals at the centre of the rate-manipulation scandal, and is apparently building cases against multiple financial institutions and their staff, including traders at Barclays.
Separately, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, as part of its sweeping regulatory probe into the affair, is pursuing a potential civil case against UBS, sources claimed. The Swiss bank has already struck an immunity deal with one wing of the Justice Department, which could protect the lender from criminal prosecution if certain conditions are met.
Comment: The cache of emails released by the New York Fed are most unhelpful for BoE governor Sir Mervyn King and his deputy, Paul Tucker, as the memos suggest that there appears to have been very little urgency, either from the BoE or the FSA, with regard to pressing the BBA to rectify the clearly malfunctioning Libor system.
Everyone is understandably obsessed with changing the culture of banking after the Barclays Libor scandal. We need to be equally focused on changing the antique culture of Threadneedle Street itself.

when we stayed, business meetings were taking place, we woke up a several times from 01am to 4am due to participants were talking loud at corridor. We do not think we wish to return there.
Too much noise on the hall during the night
We were shocked when we drove up to this hotel. It was not what we were expecting based on the area and other hotels we saw. It was beautiful inside and out. The staff was very friendly and the room comfortable.
Great breakfast buffet at very reasonable price. Super easy access from the highway with free parking right in front of hotel. Good bathroom.
Clean spacious bathrooms, including bidet and large shower. Large and soft bath towels.
Staff is somewhat less than friendly, maybe even a bit gruff.One can hear the people in nearby rooms use the bathroom at night.... bad soundproofing.
Very nice hotel: parking - available; good breakfast; English-speaking personnel; comfortable rooms.
Cleanliness and nice welcome from reception staff. In fact the lady on reception wore a number of hats: Receptionist, Barlady, Chef, Waitress and Odd Job Lady
Although booking.com advertised that there would be a bath in our room, we didn't get one, which was a dreadful shame for us because my husband had been looking forward to a soak in the bath after his 7-hour drive. Also the restaurant was rather limited in choice of meals. It was also difficult to get to from the motorway, even though we could see it from the road.
The staff'
Located on the center town
The noise and the bathrooms
The hotel is very well located, We had from our room a very nice view over an historical buiding.
staff was very nice
Here's why:
We're not the seller.
At KAYAK we don't set the prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We compile tonnes of data for you
Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we can't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time?
Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find, on occasion, that certain prices are no longer available.
If you have more questions or if you have a bad price to report to us,
please send us an
and someone from our team will get back to you promptly.

Note: Sample below may appear distorted but all corresponding word document files contain proper formattingExcerpt from Term Paper:
Abortion is the process determining the fate of a mother and a child who is not only unwanted but also is deprived of the opportunity to view the way the world is. All issues revolving around abortion have a strong connection with ethics, the "rules or standards governing the conduct of a person or the members of a profession" (Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary) or ethics are also defined as "a set of principles of right conduct" as well as "a theory or a system of moral values" (Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary). Hence, these carefully formulated rules and policies determine "the actions or reactions of a person in response to external or internal stimuli" thereby energizing behavior of the all human beings and motivating them to act accordingly (American Heritage Dictionary). Abortion, by some is considered the right of a woman or of the parents of the unbidden child, by some a crime and by many others a debatable and a highly controversial issue. The section that adheres to the latter stance also terms abortion a deviant behavior. Whether abortion is or is not a deviant behavior is out of the scope of our current discussion. For this reason we shall focus on why abortion is considered a deviant behavior and what is the role of labeling theory in this connection. Let us first understand what exactly is deviance and how sociologists define the term.
When the word Deviance is mentioned somewhere, we automatically assume that some abnormal or eccentric behavioral pattern is under discussion. This is because majority of researchers and sociologists link deviance with socially unacceptable activities and thought pattern. For this reason, most of us use deviance as an essential tool to separate the right and acceptable behavior from its evil counterparts. But the truth is that deviance doesn't exist in its negative form only, there are certain positive shades to it, which can only be understood if we delve deeper into this subject.
Thus the most important thing is to first focus on the way sociologists have defined deviance because this will help us understand why deviance is not always problematic even if most of the activities that fall under its umbrella bear visible signs of non-conformity.
Howard S. Becker observes that deviant behavior is intricately connected with labeling:
Deviance is not a quality of the act the person commits, but rather a consequence of the application by others of rules and sanctions to an "offender." The deviant is one to whom that label has successfully been applied; deviant behavior is behavior that people so label. (p. 9)
In every society and every culture, there are certain norms and regulations, which lay the very foundation of social order. If however, these norms are rejected and someone tries to deviant from the normal path, social order is threatened which can turn people against the traitors and this is when their behavior is labeled as eccentric or queer.
Erich Goode whose work in this connection is considered invaluable defines deviance in these words, "[Deviance is] behavior or characteristics that some people in a society find offensive or reprehensible and that generates -- or would generate if discovered -- in these people disapproval, punishment, condemnation of, or hostility toward, the actor or possessor." (Goode 29)
From this it follows that deviant behavior is not always connected with socially unacceptable activities but some section of the general public find it condemnable. In order to understand the real meaning of deviance, it is extremely important to make original observations about this kind of behavior instead of following the centuries-old theories. Deviance is usually connected with all types of anti-social activities and to certain extent, this is correct too. But to assume that deviance is only about criminal activities is to limit the scope of this study and all that it encompasses. Therefore the best way to understand deviance is to associate it with 'defiance', which destabilizes an established social order.
Abortion comes in this category of deviance. The person who decides to abort a pregnancy and disregards society's opinion about the matter essentially commits an act of defiance. By terminating her pregnancy, a woman defies the traditional and conventional social setup. For this reason, pro-life quarter maintains that termination of pregnancy is criminal act and all criminal actions are a form of deviance.
This quarter maintains that every child whether born or unborn has a right to life and health, therefore it is absolutely immoral for her mother to deny him this right especially when the child has not even entered the world. In other words, this section feels that if a mother has the right to life and if she can terminate the pregnancy because of her health, how can she be allowed to deny her unborn child his right to life. It is extremely important to understand that there is nothing wrong with the views of this quarter because though it may appear to be based on religious beliefs, this view is actually developed on the lines of civil rights. There are certain people in this section that would probably be atheists and still against abortion, this is because they feel that termination of pregnancy is another name for murder.
Edwin M. Schur (1965) writes:
Available evidence indicates that the women seeking abortions are of all races, religions, and socioeconomic classes; many are married, and often already mothers. Under the laws of the various American states -- which generally permit abortion only when medically necessary to save the mother's life -- most of these abortions are illegal. Because inducing abortion does usually contravene existing legal norms, it may be considered a form of deviant behavior." (p. 12)
Because this section calls abortion a form of deviant behavior, it has also developed certain strategies to crush this type of deviance. This often gives rise to abortion-related violence. Not only do pro-lifers repeatedly participate in rallies and demonstration, but also some extremists among this group would actually target anti-abortions clinics and there have been several cases of arson and violence.
David Whitman (1998) writes about anti-abortion violence that has peaked during the last few years:
While most types of antiabortion violence have ebbed over the years, disruptive tactics like picketing, hate mail, and bomb threats reached record highs in 1997. The most common tactic, by far, is picketing -- NAF reported more than 7,500 incidents of picketing during 1997. Clinics in 21 of 43 states surveyed by NAF last year reported weekly or daily protests." (2)
There are many social, biological and psychological theories of deviance which explain that deviant behavior is something that people learn through their interaction with others. Most sociologists are of the view that people develop certain personality traits by staying in the company of people with those characteristics. This is known as the social learning theory and it links deviance with criminal behavior in these words, "People learn criminal behavior through the groups with which they associate. If a person associates with more groups that define criminal behavior as acceptable than groups that define criminal behavior as unacceptable, the person will probably engage in criminal behavior" (Leighninger 331)
In other words, social learning theory maintains that criminal behavior is not inherited but it is embraced through social interaction. This theory thus considers deviance a result of one's interaction with a certain type of environment. Applying this theory to abortion, we can say that in some cases, social factors play an important role in a mother's decision to terminate pregnancy. For example, women without a steady relationship or marriage would often choose not to give birth to a child because of numerous social reasons. In this way, we can say that abortion can be explained with the help of social learning theory.
Labeling theory on the other hand blames people and their social rules for contributing towards the development of deviant behavior. This theory mostly discusses criminal activities and illegal drug use and maintains that rigid social rules are directly responsible for the development of 'eccentric' personality traits. Calhoun writes, " Labeling theory also helps explain the longer-term consequences of a deviant label on a person's social identity." In other words, this theory says that people indulge in socially unacceptable activities because they suffer from certain labels from a very young age.
When studying abortion from the perspective of this theory, we can say that labeling may not be the sole cause of abortion. It does affect a person's decision and we notice that those who have been considered defiance from a very young age are likely to indulge in deviant activities more often than others. The reason why labeling theory cannot be successfully applied to abortion is because of varying reasons existing behind a person's decision to terminate pregnancy. For example if a mother of four decides to terminate her fifth pregnancy because of medical and health reasons, then labeling theory doesn't come into play at all. However if a teenager who is known for making irrational…[continue]

Deviance Among Canadian Youths Deviation refers to the violation of the acceptable norms and values that have maintained within the cultural framework of a society. Norms are very important in every society since they allow the people of a given society to coexist with one another, and create the best environment for human living. The Canadian society like other societies is guided by certain norms and values, which are useful for
Deviance in Modern Society Defining Deviance in Society All human beings are socialized by their respective societies. That means they learn what sorts of behaviors are expected and what kinds of behaviors are considered immoral, unacceptable or inappropriate. Generally, the socialization process teaches all members of the society about the norms, values, beliefs, and behaviors are considered "normal" within that society. Not all individuals necessarily adhere to all of those societal norms.
DEVIANCE Historical Records Deviance is the violation of social norms. Norms are codes of ethics that act as guidance to people on how to live their lives. According to William Somner, there are three types of norms; Folkways are what a society considers being right with regard to culture and tradition. Issues like dressing, mannerisms are in this category. Different cultures and people have their own guidelines on dressing and etiquette. Violations
The common perception of organized crime as consisting of tightly knit underworld syndicates who operate on the periphery of the legitimate business world is a misconception.

With the revelation that there was a direct and demonstrable relationship
The issue remains widely debatable, with some insisting the behavior in the jails need to be reevaluated yet some insist on the societal emphasis in curbing recidivism.

Burapha is close enough to Pattaya and on the way to Bangkok to play en-route from or to the Airport. This course holds numerous corporate outings and is a good selection for a company sponsored day-of-play should you find yourself in that position.

Yes, there is still life in that old netbook
Just a few years ago, netbooks were very common, largely because they are dirt cheap. A netbook, of course, is simply a scaled down laptop and the most common configuration appears to be a 10.1″ screen, a 1.6 GHz, single core Intel Atom processor, 1 gigabyte of RAM and a 160-gigabyte hard drive. Most netbooks came bundled with Microsoft Windows XP (not bad in terms of performance) or Windows 7 Starter.
While new netbooks are still available, they've been largely replaced by more powerful ultrabooks and tablets like the Apple iPad line and Samsung Galaxy. The problem with netbooks, of course, is that they are very underpowered. Still, they are very useful and a few modifications to the Compaq Mini 110c I got back in 2010 have turned it a great portable laptop. Since I already own one, I figured I'd rather improve its performance rather than simply tossing it in the back of a closet and forgetting about it.
While the Compaq Mini doesn't hold a candle to the Intel Core i7 laptop I use at work or even the 64-bit Windows 7 laptop I use at home, it's hard to beat the little Compaq for sheer portability and convenience. All I need is a WiFi connection and I've got a great system for getting some work done on the road.
Updating my Compaq Mini cost about $30 and more than a bit of time. The $30 was spent on an upgrade that should be considered crucial for a netbook — more RAM. Most netbooks max out at 2 gigabytes of RAM which is available for cheap on eBay. The performance boost realized by jumping from 1GB to 2GB is substantial, particularly if you're the type who has a few applications open and opens browser tabs like crazy while surfing the Internet.
Another way to boost the performance of a netbook is by dumping Windows and switching to Linux. The thing about Linux, however, is that there are so many distros out there that choosing the right one can be a chore. I tested a lot of them and found that three work very well on netbooks as they don't require a lot of resources — Joli OS, Xubuntu and Linux Mint.
My personal favorite is Linux Mint with the Xcfe desktop as it runs faster than Xubuntu on my Compaq and is less troublesome than Joli OS, but here's the great thing about Linux — it's easy to test drive as many distros as you want before settling on one. Like two flavors of Linux? No problem — simply choose to dual boot and run both of them on the same netbook. Want to keep your version of Windows? You can set up a dual-boot system to retain that operating system and boot into Linux when you want.
Test driving various flavors of Linux and setting up a dual-boot is easy enough — simply grab a USB stick, head to PendriveLinux.com and follow the directions. Finding the version that combines speed, compatibility and ease of use is critical and discovering that "perfect" Linux OS is a highly subjective thing — you might hate what works well for somewhere else, so it's well worth your while to spend some time testing out several before settling on one or two to install on your system.
It's worth mentioning that I ran Xubuntu for a couple of years before switching to Linux Mint and have very little bad to say about it. The only complaint I have about Xubuntu is that it got slower with every new release and got to the point where doing routine things like opening the built-in apps store or finding and installing updates took a ridiculously long amount of time. While I switched from Xubuntu to Mint prior to getting my 2GB RAM upgrade, the performance boost under Mint on my 1GB system was very noticeable. Still, Xubuntu is packaged with plenty of software that is actually useful, is based on Ubuntu — the most popular Linux distro out there. The only real difference between Ubuntu and Xubuntu is that the latter comes packaged with the lightweight Xfce desktop instead of the more resource demanding Unity. Xcfe looks and acts a lot like Windows XP and is a clean desktop that a netbook can run without breaking a sweat.
If you want something that's incredibly lightweight, give Joli OS a look. That one will turn your netbook into something that acts very much like a Google Chrome Book — the emphasis is on saving documents to "the cloud" and works very well with online storage accounts such as Google Drive and Dropbox. Navigating around Joli OS takes some getting used to as it's similar to using a tablet than a notebook and you'll spend a lot of time in your browser. The only drawback to the OS is that it can be a pain when your WiFi connection is down or running slowly, but you can still get plenty of work done with local apps when you can't get online. There's a bit of a learning curve with Joli OS, but it is very fast and an easy way to turn your netbook into a cloud-based machine.
As for Mint, I chose that because it is also based on Ubuntu, runs wicked fast when the version with the Xcfe desktop is installed, has a great apps store and comes with plenty of great programs already installed. The program line up, in fact, is very similar to what Xubuntu offers — Libre Office is there for cranking out documents, spreadsheets and presentations that can be saved in a format compatible with the Microsoft Office suite, The Gimp was included as a viable alternative to Adobe Photoshop and it is very compatible with Ubuntu repositories — if your familiar with installing applications through the terminal in Ubuntu, you'll feel right at home with Mint.
How fast is Mint? My system boots in less than two minutes and that includes the time it takes to open Dropbox and check for updates. My system monitor tells me the entire OS takes up around 200 megabytes of RAM, leaving plenty open for applications.
The only problem I had with installing Mint is that I've got a Broadcom wireless chipset that is proprietary and not bundled with Mint. The only way I was able to connect to my WiFi was to attach my computer to a wired connection, open my settings menu, select the driver manager and then request it to download the Broadcom driver. That wasn't any trouble, really, but the Broadcom chipset appears to be common so it's wise to be around a wired connection when installing Mint.
Netbooks may be on their way out, but they've still got a lot of life in them. RAM upgrades are cheap and Linux distros are free, so why not experiment a bit on your netbook and see if you can turn it into the great mobile system you wanted when you first bought it?
Click here to learn about a couple of inexpensive, effective hardware mods that will make a netbook even more useful.

Disaster Risk Management Education
Latin America and the Caribbean is a diverse region, where potentially destructive natural and socio-natural hazards occur. Earthquakes, storms, tsunamis, hurricanes and volcanic eruptions, among other disasters, create high levels of risk. This is amplified by vulnerable conditions and lack of spaces for social participation in development processes.
The integration of disaster risk management in the education sector is crucial in order to increase awareness of the effects and causes of disasters. Schools that take action to manage risks contribute to a culture of prevention, which is essential in the sustainable development process of countries. Indeed, it reduces disaster risks and strengthens the capacities of the most vulnerable communities to respond to emergencies.
When a disaster occurs, education restores everyday life and gives people hope for the future, in addition to helping satisfy basic humanitarian needs and transmit essential messages that promote security and well-being. OREALC/UNESCO Santiago, together with other offices in the region and cooperation agencies, works with countries in Latin America and the Caribbean to support awareness-raising, mobilization and commitment processes.

This is a very hard to find version of Madame Alexander's 13" Wendy - Ann with twist n turn waist and molded hair. She has some flaws but displays so cute! Wendy Ann has been re-strung and she poses great. Her hair has some typical scuffs and there is a rub to one eyebrow. She has no splits or crazing other than a line between her thumb and first finger as shown in one picture. The darling outfit is custom made using vintage fabrics for Wendy. Nice quality and antique lace. Her shoes and socks are original but the sole on one shoe has gone missing. I have priced her to reflect these issues hoping that she will be enjoyed.

Packaging plays a number of roles in satisfying the appetites of consumers, retailers and food marketers for convenience, efficiency and product visibility. New bags, boxes and trays that are coming to market as microwavable, resealable, leak-resistant and compostable provide consumers with easy handling, preparation and storage, but the benefits of innovative packaging can be an advantage for retailers as well.
For example, a meat and seafood bag that's been used in European supermarkets for years is coming to the States. Alpem's "Valencia" bag saves meat department associates time, said Yves Lajeunesse, president of UIC USA, a West Palm Beach, Fla.-based distributor and broker.
Instead of placing a meat or seafood item on a foam tray and wrapping it with clear film, retailers can simply drop the item in the opaque bag, remove a strip and seal it up for the shopper to take home. Retailers can print their own labels, coupons or recipes on the outside of the bag. It does not leak and will keep meat and seafood cool, since it has thermal properties. Consumers also can use it to store the product in the freezer without fear of freezer burn.
The Valencia bags will hit U.S. supermarkets some time in the next two to three months. Furthermore, several food retailers in Canada are testing it or intend to test it in their stores, he said.
Another new item that promises benefits to both shoppers and retailers is the packaging for Butterball's new fully cooked fried turkey breast tenderloins. Cooked in-store, the tenderloins are packaged in a bright blue bag with a built-in handle and zipper for resealing. It can also take the heat — the bag is designed for use in deli department hot cases. It doesn't get hot, so shoppers can pick it up without fear of getting burned.
"The best thing this bag will do for our product is it'll really stand out to consumers coming up to the prepared food section," said Chris Bekermeier, brand manager of Butterball's deli division. "That deep Butterball blue is noticeable from 20 feet away. It creates attention and conveys the brand very well."
Designed by Appleton, Wis.-based Curwood, the bag is being tweaked a bit. The window will be enlarged for better product visibility and it will get an anti-fog film to reduce condensation, which was a concern raised by retailers, Bekermeier said.
Retailers and other show-goers got to sample the turkey at Butterball's booth at the International Dairy-Deli-Bake show in Anaheim, Calif., in June. Based on the response, officials are optimistic about the product's future, Bekermeier said. Boneless and skinless, the turkey tenderloins will be promoted as an alternative to rotisserie chicken. Cooks in the deli departments prepare the meat using fryers in store kitchens that might otherwise go unused between lunch and dinner rushes. The tenderloins can be displayed in the hot case for up to four hours.
Retailing for about $5.99 a pound, the product is scheduled to arrive in supermarkets in mid-August. To promote sales, Butterball will encourage retail chains to conduct countertop sampling activities, Bekermeier said.
The grab-and-go attitude continues to drive innovation for lunchtime items as well. According to a company survey, 70% of Americans work straight through lunch or break for only five to 10 minutes. In response, Oscar Mayer's new "Deli Creations" line is the company's answer to a fast, hot lunch in a box for consumers with very little time to spare for a meal in the middle of the day.
The sandwich kits, consisting of bread, meat, cheese and specialty sauces, are packaged in colorful cartons, which include a specially designed, microwave receptor paperboard tray. Consumers can remove the package from their refrigerators, microwave the sandwich and have a hot sandwich 60 seconds later. The tray, developed by Marietta, Ga.-based Graphic Packaging International, has laminated quilts, or pockets, which work in the microwave to heat the bread to an appealing consistency while melting the cheese and warming the meat at the same time. Graphic Packaging also produced the outer cartons, which are printed in seven colors.
"The product has only been on shelves for three months, and the initial reaction has been very positive," said Chris Carlisle, senior brand manager for the line.
Available at stores nationwide, the line consists of five sandwiches — shaved oven roasted ham and cheddar, shaved turkey and cheddar Dijon, shaved honey ham and Swiss, shaved turkey Monterey and shaved steakhouse cheddar. Each one has a suggested retail price of $2.99.
Oscar Mayer, a division of Kraft Foods, used a similar tray for Oscar Mayer Fast Franks, which are kits containing frankfurters with buns that can be heated up in the microwave.
To generate interest and sales, the company has conducted sampling events in stores in several cities. Officials were encouraged by the feedback they got from shoppers, Carlisle said.
"They really like the convenience and ability to have a hot lunch," Carlisle said.
For shoppers tired of handling and storing open bags of messy meat, Oscar Mayer is about to roll out sliced bacon packaged in a reclosable tray at supermarkets across the country. The 12-ounce Center Cut Bacon in the new "Stay-Fresh" reclosable tray will retail for about $3.99, which is no higher than a comparable product in a traditional package, according to the company, which noted it's the first high-quality packaging innovation of its kind in the bacon category.
The product "is designed to combat consumer dissatisfaction with traditional bacon packaging — hard to open, not resealable, messy to remove bacon and cumbersome storage because the packaging could not be reclosed," a company spokeswoman said.
Consumers, however, can have mixed feelings about food packaging, one industry consultant noted.
"You've got one side of the coin where the consumer wants things that are microwavable, ready-to-eat, resealable or in smaller portions," said JoAnn Hines, the so-called "packaging diva" who is president of the Packaging University, a Kennesaw, Ga.-based consulting firm.
"The other side of the coin is, people are saying there's too much packaging."
While the desire for convenience trumps concern for the environment for the majority of shoppers, Hines thinks the outlook for both types of packaging is healthy.
Environmentally friendly packaging has continued to gain momentum in the market as consumers are becoming more aware of the environmental consequences of their consumption choices. Because of this, retailers will find it beneficial to carry convenience-oriented eco-friendly alternatives.
Sealed Air Corp. hopes to tap into the demand for green packaging with what it's billing as the first foam tray in the U.S. created with polylactic acid polymers from NatureWorks, a division of Cargill. Cryovac's NatureTRAY is made entirely from corn, and can be used by supermarkets to package meat, poultry and fish, as well as produce and dry goods. The sustainable tray can be used on any standard automated in-store wrapping equipment in supermarkets.
According to the company, the tray provides all the benefits of traditional polystyrene foam trays, but can be composted in any industrial compost facility. It is available in a range of sizes and comes in a natural, unpigmented white color.
"Our partnership with NatureWorks has enabled us to create a tray for supermarkets made entirely from an annually renewable resource," said Richard Douglas, marketing director for rigid packaging and absorbents for Sealed Air's Cryovac Food Packaging. "The Cryovac NatureTRAY keeps with consumer demand for sustainable packaging."
For Alpem, its thermal, leakproof Valencia bag is also recyclable, and Lajeunesse said he believes that feature alone will score high marks with certain consumers. Retailers are increasingly hearing from shoppers who want to steer clear of polystyrene foam trays and other materials that don't degrade, he noted.
"Everybody we're talking to is saying we have a lot of pressure from consumers" to discontinue polystyrene foam trays, Lajeunesse said.
Hines agreed that the outlook is bright for products that deliver on convenience while having minimal impact on the environment.
"We've just started on our green journey," she said. The potential for green packaging "is stronger than it's ever been."
Keeping Score
Thousands of companies that supply Wal-Mart Stores are under pressure to reduce, eliminate or improve their product packaging.
The retailer and its suppliers are keeping tabs on the progress. Wal-Mart devised a Web-based packaging "scorecard" for companies to evaluate the materials they use, based on criteria such as greenhouse gas emissions related to production, product-to-packaging ratio, recycled content usage and emissions related to transportation of the packaging materials. Beginning next year, Wal-Mart said buyers will be able to use the scorecard results to "influence their purchasing decisions." The retailer will use the system to make progress toward achieving a 5% reduction in packaging by 2013.
Since its debut in February, the scorecard has gotten a lot of use. To date, nearly 3,000 suppliers and more than 7,800 products have been entered into the system, a Wal-Mart spokesman said. Companies can use the program to evaluate their own materials and see how they stack up against those used by industry peers.
Naturally, Wal-Mart's initiative is expected to have a profound effect on the sustainable packaging movement.
"They've affected how things are moving on this in the U.S.," said Erin Malec, director of external relations at GreenBlue, a Charlottesville, Va.-based nonprofit that operates the Sustainable Packaging Coalition. "All their suppliers are going to have to adjust their packaging if needed. The Wal-Mart scorecard will be a catalyst for all their suppliers."
Companies from across the board are focusing increased attention on the environmental impact of product packaging and shipping materials. The SPC's growth as an organization demonstrates the trend. When the industry group started in 2003, it had nine members from the business community. Now more than 130 companies belong, including Kraft Foods, McDonald's, Earthbound Farm, Starbucks and Green Mountain Coffee Roasters.

Learn more about volunteering at our volunteer experience days! Rachel Bates Rachel joined the ORNC in 2014 and was inspired by her love of maritime history and the magnificent architecture of the ORNC. She originally applied for the role of Communications Volunteer, seeing it as a chance to experience a side of the heritage industry she wasn't familiar with. Rachel helped out in the busy communications office, where she scheduled social media posts, created flyers and posters, and updated the ORNC website. Over time Rachel's role changed and she was offered to opportunity to curate the 'Hidden Details of the ORNC' photography competition, which was a massive success. The exhibition encouraged our visitors to photograph their favourite 'hidden details' around the ORNC. I had the freedom to run it independently, even though staff were always willing to help me. I have learnt a lot, including project management skills, budgeting, how to lay out an exhibition, and about the importance of social media for museums. It's been a fascinating journey. I am now working on the next exhibition called ORNC Goes to the Movies and I'm managing another volunteer. Rachel urges anyone who might be on the fence about volunteering to 'give it a go' If you are 'on the fence' just give it a try! Everyone here is so welcoming you'll soon believe you've always been here. Daren Clarke Meet Daren Clark, Volunteer Explainer at the ORNC. I volunteer at the ORNC because I want to gain more experience and promote my local neighbourhood, I also heard really good things about the ORNC Volunteer program as a whole and I wanted to expand my knowledge about the history of the site. I really enjoy meeting the public, and my role as a Volunteer Explainer, involves giving short talks to visitors about the history of the Painted Hall and the upcoming conservation works. I feel I have learned so much about my local area and its history, and I have increased my public speaking skills thanks to giving talks to groups and visitors. There has been so many fulfilling moments during my time at the ORNC, I like it when visitors have previous connections with the site through the Royal Navy, and they've usually got some great stories. Frances Moore-Hill Frances has been an ORNC volunteer for a year and has worked in a number of different departments. I decided to volunteer at the ORNC because I have always had an interest in history and I came across the advert and it really appealed to me. I joined as a visitor experience volunteer, meeting and greeting our visitors and telling them about the site and what they should see here. I love working in the painted hall and telling the stories about the paintings. It is great to be able to let a visitor see the meanings in the work and to bring it all to life. I also helped out with the schools, taking groups around the Discover Greenwich centre before going over to the Skittle Alley and letting them have a go. I trained to give short talks on the Tudors at Greenwich and undertook short walks to the Water Gates, pointing out places of interest to our visitors. Another role I do is to provide Volunteer Co-ordinator, Anne, with some admin support, helping to recruit other volunteers like myself. Since volunteering I have found my confidence has really increased and I was able to use old skills I had not used for some time. I realised I enjoyed administration and organising much more than I had thought! I also became much more confident in public speaking through giving the 10 minute talks. I have had a great time and met some lovely people. To anyone hesitating I would say take the plunge and apply. You will never be asked to do something you are not comfortable with and there is plenty of support for you. It doesn't take long before you are able to share the stories with the visitors and it is very rewarding.

Baked Smothered Chicken
Total Time
Prep 15 mins
Cook 1 hr 20 mins
A recipe I have made over 10 years from the Little Rock UMC cookbook. So EASY! A great Sunday family dish. Note that when made with breasts or thighs, you may need to add more of the water/flour mix for the gravy.
Ingredients Nutrition
- Season chicken with salt, pepper & garlic. Place pieces skin side down, one layer deep in a shallow baking pan lined with foil. Dribble the melted butter over the chicken, distributing well. Close foil tightly. Place in 450°F oven for 15-20 minutes or until chicken is slightly brown.
- While baking, use this time to blend together water & flour until smooth; set aside.
- Remove chicken from oven; tilt pan and blend into the drippings the water/flour mix. Gravy will start to thicken. Stir it around over bottom of pan and turn chicken, then salt & pepper chicken.
- Return to oven and reduce heat to 350°F and bake 45 - 60 minutes.
- Baste once or twice, adding a little boiling water if gravy has cooked down low before chicken is done. serve with rice or mashed potatoes.

My Mother LOVES the baked chicken we get here in Alabama at home-style restaurants. I always wanted to duplicate the recipe for her at home, but didn't know how.....'til now. MAN, this turned out good. I followed the recipe to the letter and it was EXACTLY like the southern-style baked chicken we get here in the deep south. SUPER easy, SUPER moist, and SUPER delicious :)
I followed the directions and the meal was great. I used chicken wings instead of chicken breast. The complete meal consisted of smothered chicken, buttery mashed potatoes, corn, and honey butter biscuits. I was great couldn't have used a better recipe if there ever was one.
Great meal!! It was quick and easy, steamed some rice and used skineless chicken breast, being a single guy and all it made the house smell good and impress a certain young lady, thanks!!
