Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center Director, Rob Thieler
Dr. Rob Thieler is the Center Director of the U.S. Geological Survey's Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center in Woods Hole, Massachusetts. Rob conducts marine geologic research on the geologic framework and evolution of the coastal zone. This includes understanding relationships between geology, sediment transport, climate and sea-level change, and coastal erosion. Rob has conducted assessments of sea-level rise vulnerability for the U.S. and locations worldwide. He served as a Lead Author of a U.S. Global Change Research Program report on potential impacts of sea-level rise, and works with many federal and state agencies to develop science and policy plans for addressing coastal change hazards.
New Technique Quickly Predicts Salt Marsh Vulnerability
Scientists working on a rapid assessment technique for determining which US coastal salt marshes are most imperiled by erosion were surprised to find that all eight of the Atlantic and Pacific Coast marshes where they field-tested their method are losing ground, and half of them will be gone in 350 years' time if they don't recapture some lost terrain.

How does seagrass impact wave energy?
Submerged aquatic vegetation is generally thought to attenuate waves, but this interaction remains poorly characterized in shallow-water field settings with locally generated wind waves. Better quantification of wave–vegetation interaction can provide insight to morphodynamic changes in a variety of environments and also is relevant to the planning of nature-based coastal protection measures. Toward that end, an instrumented transect was deployed across a Zostera marina (common eelgrass) meadow in Chincoteague Bay, Maryland/Virginia, U.S.A., to characterize wind-wave transformation within the vegetated region.

Study finds limited sign or soil adaptation to climate warning
One of the greatest challenges in projecting future shifts in the global climate is understanding how soil respiration rates will change with warming. Multiple experimental warming studies have explored this response, but no consensus has been reached. Based on a global synthesis of 27 experimental warming studies spanning nine biomes, we find that although warming increases soil respiration rates, there is limited evidence for a shifting respiration response with experimental warming. We also note a universal decline in the temperature sensitivity of respiration at soil temperatures >25 °C. Together, our data indicate that future respiration rates are likely to follow the current temperature response function, but higher latitudes will be more responsive to warmer temperatures.

Mendenhall Postdoctoral Research Fellow Joins Hurricane Sandy Estuarine Physical Response Project
In March 2015, Dan Nowacki joined the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center in Woods Hole, Massachusetts. Dan is a Mendenhall Research Fellow working primarily with USGS research oceanographer Neil Ganju as part of the Estuarine Physical Response to Storms project. He is developing techniques to quantify the role of vegetation in the response and resilience of coastal areas to large storm events. Using a combination of numerical modeling techniques and field measurements, he will work to better understand how a variety of vegetation types modify waves and associated sediment-transport processes. Although coastal vegetation is generally thought to mitigate wave action and storm surge, the specific dynamics of the interaction remain poorly known; this work could ultimately help coastal planners understand the role of natural ecosystems in storm protection.
Telepresence Expedition Explores Unknown Deep-Sea Areas off of Puerto Rico and U.S. Virgin Islands
In April 2015, U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) scientists participated in a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Ocean Exploration research cruise investigating unknown and poorly understood deep-sea areas off Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. An interdisciplinary team of scientists working at sea and on shore examined the geology and biodiversity along various seafloor features at depths ranging from 300 to 4,500 meters. Twelve dives were completed with a dual-bodied remotely operated vehicle (ROV) system consisting of the ROV Deep Discoverer (D2) and the Seirios camera platform, both of which were launched and controlled from the NOAA Ship Okeanos Explorer.

Imaging Methane Seeps and Plumes on the U.S. Atlantic Margin
Scientists from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Gas Hydrates Project surveyed methane seeps and plumes on the northern part of the U.S. Atlantic margin aboard the research vessel (R/V) Endeavor in April 2015. The researchers collected high-resolution seismic data (cross-sectional views of sediment layers and other features beneath the seafloor) along ship tracks totaling nearly 580 kilometers (360 miles), in addition to continuous imagery of methane plumes in the water column above seafloor cold seeps. They also measured the flux of methane and carbon dioxide (CO2) from the ocean to the atmosphere.
Dive In – Explore Thousands of Coastal and Seafloor Images
Thousands of photos and videos of the seafloor and coastline—most areas never seen before—are now available and easily accessible online. This is critical for coastal managers to make important decisions, ranging from protecting habitats to understanding hazards and managing land use.
This USGS portal is unique, due to the sheer quantity and quality of data presented. It is the largest database of its kind, providing detailed and fine-scale representations of the coast.

text: Macy's Promotes Jeff Gennette to President Seen as a rising star in the retail world, Gennette has served for the past five years as the company's chief merchandising officer. By David Moin on March 31, 2014 NEW YORK — Macy's Inc. has given Jeffrey Gennette a bigger playing field.The U.S.' largest department store retailer on Monday promoted Gennette to president of the corporation, giving him the additional responsibility of overseeing its rapidly growing private label brands. Gennette, who has been seen as a rising star in the retail world, has served for the past five years as Macy's chief merchandising officer.He continues to report to Terry J. Lundgren, chairman and chief executive officer of the $28 billion Macy's Inc. Lundgren is turning over the title of president to Gennette."It's a very big deal," Lundgren told WWD on Monday. "Jeff has had all of merchandising, all of marketing, all of macys.com," reporting to him. "Now he will have the Macy's Merchandising Group [MMG] reporting to him as well. It's a big job, the second largest job in the company after me." MMG is the corporation's private brands organization. Asked if Gennette's promotion reflected succession planning, the 62-year-old Lundgren replied: "This is giving an opportunity to one of the most creative and talented individuals in the retailing industry. That's all we are stating and signaling."Lundgren suggested that he is not about to retire from Macy's anytime soon. "I am having way too much fun," he said.The ceo called Gennette "an outstanding merchant, insightful strategist and strong leader," adding, "As our president, with the additional responsibility for Macy's private brands, Gennette will have a total view of Macy's merchandise assortment and marketing strategy — both in stores and online — consistent with our omnichannel vision. Our exclusive private brands, which have provided a powerful competitive advantage for Macy's, will continue to play a vitally important role."For several seasons, Macy's private brand sales have been outpacing the overall business, and Gennette acknowledged that his biggest challenge with that part of his job is "to keep the momentum going. We have been winning for five years running." Some key private brands include INC, Charter Club, Hotel Collection, Style & Co., Alfani and Bar III.While Gennette has an omni perspective on the business, the rest of the merchant team remains channel specific. Asked if he would consider reorganizing responsibilities so merchants work across channels, as some retailers have begun to do, Gennette replied, "We are always looking at the future. Right now, we see management and buying-line talent in both channels.""We think the reason we have grown to be the 10th largest Internet company in America is because we have very talented people dedicated to the online business. We never want to make it store number 801," Lundgren said, referring to Macy's 800 stores. Lundgren said Macy's no longer breaks out online sales from store sales because the channels support each other and each could play a part in a particular transaction. "If somebody walks into the store and spends 20 minutes with a sales associate and then buys online, is that an online sale or a store sale? If someone does all their research online and buys [the product] in the store, should it be recorded as a store sale or an online sale? It's completely mixed up and merged, but we do know the online is getting bigger and bigger as a percent to the total," he said.While some see Gennette's appointment as elevating his chances to one day run Macy's, Lundgren was clear not to couch Gennette or other key executives as second-in-command. Other top officials include Peter Sachse, chief stores officer, and Karen Hoguet, chief financial officer.Macy's Inc. has recently seen some high-level departures, including Michael Gould, who in February stepped down as chairman and ceo of Bloomingdale's. He was succeeded by Tony Spring, who has already been reshaping the team at Bloomingdale's and identifying new areas for business that the upscale department store could tap. Spring reports to Lundgren.Just last week, Macy's disclosed that Stuart Goldblatt, executive vice president of men's and children's for private brands, retired after a 35-year career. Molly Langenstein, formerly executive vice president and general merchandise manager for the Millennial family of business, succeeded Goldblatt and Langenstein's women's apparel duties were assigned to Tim Baxter, who is executive vice president and gmm for ready-to-wear. Her kids duties were assigned to Richard Arnstein, who now serves as executive vice president and gmm for men's and kids.Gennette, 52, has been Macy's chief merchandising officer since 2009. Previously, before Macy's centralized its store divisions, he served as chairman and ceo of Macy's West for about a year, and earlier was chairman and ceo of Macy's Northwest in Seattle from December 2005 to February 2008. Before that, Gennette was executive vice president and director of stores for Macy's Central in Atlanta and senior vice president and gmm at Macy's West. He joined Macy's West in 1983 as an executive trainee and held various merchant and store management positions in that division. He also once worked as a store manager for FAO Schwarz and director of stores for Broadway Stores."Macy's has traditionally had merchants at the helm," said retail analyst Walter Loeb. "The company differentiates through its merchandising creativity. I am very positive about this appointment. The company will continue as a merchandising organization which is the most important to the customer."Lundgren has been president of Macy's Inc. since May 1997, ceo since February 2003 and chairman since January 2004. Most retailers are structured with a chairman and ceo, and another individual serving as president. "I actually have had four titles," Lundgren said. "Chairman, president, ceo and 'chief customer officer.' My sign on the door of my office says chief customer officer. My stationery I send notes out on says that too. That's my most important title." load comments blog comments powered by Disqus

"I am going to look for beads at the dollar stores and thrift stores. This will take a lot of beads to make a garland. I think I will use mine on my mantle instead of on my tree. I do have a lot of plastic pony beads already so I might start with those. The colors would look cute by some tiny white Christmas trees."
"What an adorable basket and great way to use up scraps of yarn. I did not even think of a yarn bowl but it would be perfect. I have to do that since I always have my yarn rolling all over the floor. Easy pattern to follow and you can customize it as well. Thank you."
"Wow! All I need to buy is the coconut oil and I am all set. I have plenty of green tea in my pantry. I drink it all the time. I am super sensitive and like to make my own scrubs. This will be perfect. And smell nice as well. Thank you."
"I have a lot of skin sensitivities so I am always looking for something homemade. No reactions there and it works great. This recipe will be do the trick plus smell great. I live in NYC and you need a scrub to take off the impurities of the air. Thank you,"

Do not use unbaked clay on unprotected furniture or finished surfaces. Start with clean hands and work surface area. Good work surfaces include wax paper, metal baking sheet, or disposable foil. Knead clay until soft and smooth. For best results, clean your hands in between colors. Shape clay, pressing pieces together firmly. Bake on oven-proof glass or metal surface at 275 °F (130 °C) for 15 minutes per ¼" (6 mm) thickness. For best baking results, use an oven thermometer. DO NOT USE MICROWAVE OVEN. DO NOT EXCEED THE ABOVE TEMPERATURE OR RECOMMENDED BAKING TIME. Wash hands after use. Baking should be completed by an adult.
Begin by preheating oven to 275 °F (130 °C). Test temperature with oven thermometer for perfectly cured clay. For best results, condition all clay by running it through the clay dedicated pasta machine several passes on the widest setting. Fold the clay in half after each pass and insert the fold side into the rollers first.
Roll out a sheet of each color of clay through the Clay Conditioning Machine on the thickest setting. Using the Super Slicer, cut out rectangles approx. 2" X 2.5".
Stack the colors as desired. The stack shown is Red Glitter, Orange, Sunshine, Bright Green Pearl, Blue Glitter, Purple Pearl - so the colors would blend nicely.
Using the Acrylic Clay Roller, roll the stack of clay until it is increased to 3" X 6". Fold the stack into thirds accordion style. Repeat this step one more time.
Using your hands form the slab into a compact rectangle about 2.5" X 2". Use the 6mm Style & Detail Tool to poke holes down through the red side of the slab only going half way through. Plug the holes with green clay. Repeat this on the purple side and plug the holes with blue clay. Form the slab back into a compact rectangle making sure the plugs have been secured into place by the surrounding clays.
Stand the slab on edge. Slice down through the slab at least 1/8" thick parallel to the stripes. Alternate cutting slices from either side of the slab so that you have slices with different color spots. Press each slice through the pasta machine on the thickest setting then again on the next thinner setting before using in your project.
Roll out a sheet of Sunshine (or whatever color you chose for your base) through the Clay Conditioning Machine on the thickest setting. Lay your card stock template on the clay and cut around it with the flexible super slicer. Cut out the middle with the larger circle cutter.
Lay the slices for mokume gane on the coaster base in patchwork fashion. When placing the strips on the coaster base it's easier if the pieces have straight edges to line up. Make sure you do not cut through the coaster base if you are cutting a straight edge on a piece that is already on the base. If you need to remove excess clay from the center of the coaster, use the smaller circle cutter to cut away any extra.
Cover the entire coaster base with a layer of mokume gane. When complete, turn the coaster over, remove any excess clay from the center of the coaster using the larger circle cutter and use the flexible Super Slicer to trim any excess from the edges. Turn the coaster over right facing. Run your finger over the edges to smooth.
Roll out a thin snake of clay in a coordinating color. Press the rope into place around the inside of the coaster circle and trim. Buff with your finger to finish.
Bake the clay coasters according to manufacturer's instructions. When cool, use a pen to trace around the outside of each clay coaster onto the cork. Cut the cork with a craft knife. Sand the rough edges of the cork with a sanding sponge. Use the silicone glue to secure the cork to each coaster and dry completely before using.

Indonesia asks donors to fulfil tsunami pledges
Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono has called on the international community to disburse more of the billions of dollars of aid pledged to help rebuild the country's tsunami-devastated Aceh province.
Nine months after the Indian Ocean tsunami struck Aceh and other parts of Asia, international donors have raised more than $US11 billion.
The December 26 earthquake and tsunami left more than 232,000 people dead or missing when it slammed into 13 countries.
Most of the dead were in Indonesia.
Dozens of governments, the World Bank and the Asian Development Bank have now paid or approved $US5.7 billion - 80 per cent of the $US7.1 billion they promised.
The public donated a similar amount.
However, Mr Yudhoyono says only about one-third of the $US3.5 billion earmarked for his country has been disbursed.
"That means there are some funds the committed countries are supposed to distribute," he said.
"I have asked for UN cooperation in the effort so those countries can fulfil their promises to distribute the funds."
On Sunday, the England's Princess Anne visited Aceh where the tsunami left more than 170,000 people dead or missing and rendered around half-a-million others homeless.
According to the UN's World Food Program, around 650,000 tsunami survivors still rely on the group's daily basic rations nine months after the disaster.

Medieval Dublin IX: Proceedings of the Friends of Medieval Dublin Symposium 2007
This 9th volume of proceedings of the annual Friends of Medieval Dublin Symposium contains, as usual, reports on recent archaeological excavations: Claire Walsh found traces of an early pre-Viking roadway at Chancery Lane; Giles Dawkes discusses his excavations at Church Street and May Lane, which revealed the enclosure of St Michan's church and two medieval timber-framed buildings; Franc Myles reports on a millpond, watercourses and 17th-century defences along Ardee Street in the Liberties; and Linzi Simpson suggests that the graveyard known as Bully's Acre may have been part of the early medieval monastery of Kilmainham. Other papers include Peter Harbison's revelation of neglected illustrations of St Doolagh's medieval church, in north Co. Dublin, done over a period of two centuries; Bernadette Williams reveals the discovery in a Dublin manuscript of the lost coronation oath of King Edward I; and Peter Crooks casts new light on the place of Dublin in the Windsor crisis (1369-79) that erupted in the latter years of King Edward III. Among the other essays is a presentation by Breffni O'Rourke and Niall Ó hOis'n on the making of Medieval Dublin: from Vikings to Tudors, a DVD for schools.

Q. When I calculate staff expenses in Excel, I regularly need to calculate how many days between two dates. Is there an easy way to do that?
A. Yes, just use the expression
="end date" - "start date"
So, if you want to know how many days before you can retire to your farm in Indiana on April 30, 2003 and today is January 1, 2003, use this formula:
="1/1/2003" - "4/30/2003"
Be sure to include the quote marks around the dates.

State President Nguyen Minh Triet said that the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union (HCMCYU) offers a good environment for youths and young cadres to cultivate their virtuous characters and lifestyles.
President Triet talked to former HCMCYU experts, who were sent to help Cambodia for youth work during the 1979-1989 period, at a reception in Hanoi on Jan. 6.
The President spoke highly of the former experts' efforts to fulfill international tasks.
Comprehensive development can be seen in the two countries' friendship and cooperative relations in economics, culture, education and other areas, he said, adding that Vietnam's investment in Cambodia is being promoted./.

Middle East a Cauldron of Horror
January 19, 2016 by SARTRE · Leave a Comment
As-salamu alaykum (the peace be upon you (plural) and Shalom (peace, harmony, wholeness, completeness, prosperity, welfare and tranquility) may have different nuances but both express a similar intent of goodwill. In reality, not much benevolent friendship exists in the eternal cauldron of Semitic hatred. Genetic and blood feuds have proliferated throughout history, but the foremost difference in this ongoing struggle is that the prospects of initiating a nuclear holocaust are reaching a meltdown radiation level. Human comprehension of the actual devastation from a nuclear strike, much less an all out exchange of warheads cannot be understood by playing a video game or watching a media presentation.
What the Fall of Ramadi Means
May 22, 2015 by SARTRE · Leave a Comment
One: Reintroduce 10,000 ground troops and Marines to retake Ramadi and Anbar, and thousands more to retake Mosul and cleanse Iraq of ISIS. Another surge, like 2007.
Yet that does not solve the problem of the Islamic State, which would retreat to Syria and wait for the Americans to leave Iraq again.
Two: Adopt a policy of degrade-and-contain by continuing air strikes on the Islamic State in Iraq, while training and backing the Iraqi army and Kurds in keeping ISIS out of Baghdad and Irbil.
Three: Accept the inevitable — that the Shiite-led Iraq we created by dethroning Saddam and smashing his Baathist state and army is going to be in the orbit of Iran. For we cannot now, without a major and indefinite reintroduction of U.S. forces, alter the existing balance of military and political power in Iraq.

eBook (ePub)
Price: $8.99
Pygmalion is a 1912 play by George Bernard Shaw. Professor of phonetics Henry Higgins makes a bet that he can train a bedraggled Cockney flower girl, Eliza Doolittle, to pass for a duchess at an ambassador's garden party by teaching her to assume a veneer of gentility, the most important element of which, he believes, is impeccable speech. The play is a sharp lampoon of the rigid British class system of the day and a commentary on women's independence. In ancient Greek mythology, Pygmalion was the creator of a statue which came to life and was a popular subject for Victorian era English playwrights, including one of Shaw's influences, W. S. Gilbert, who wrote a successful play based on the story in 1871, called Pygmalion and Galatea. Shaw also would have been familiar with the burlesque version, Galatea, or Pygmalion Reversed. Shaw's play has been adapted numerous times, most notably as the musical My Fair Lady and the film of that name

Hey lovelies,
welcome to another "Vegan Wednesday"! I hope, you liked my recipes so far. :)
Today I want to tell you, how to cook this delicious and oriental dish. It's perfect for autumn and winter and not too difficult to prepare.
I don´t know how you feel, but I really love pumpkins in every variation. The classic hokkaido pumpkin, which you all may probably know. It's perfect for soups or delicious and a even healthier version of potato fries. For this recipe, we need a so called butternut pumpkin. It's looking a bit like an oversized peanut, but it's soooo tasty. You have to try it!
So, here we go! :)
You need (4-5 persons):
Preparation time: 90 minutes
- Butternut pumpkin or sweet potatoes (≈ 1kg)
- 2 red onions
- 1 can of chickpeas
- 1 can of diced tomatoes
- some cilantro (dt. Koriander)
- 10 – 15 Kalamata olives
- 1 vegetable stock cube
- 1 tbsp cinnamon
- as many chili flakes as you like
- 2 cups of couscous
- olive oil, salt and pepper
- Peel the butternut pumpkin (or sweet potatoes, depends on what you like better) and cut it into pieces (4-5 cm)
- Put them into a gratin dish, add some salt, pepper and olive oil, and roast them for about 30 minutes, until they are soft (190°C).
- In the meantime, roughly cut the onions, pick the leaves off the cilantro and cut the stalks as fine as possible.
- Put the stalks and the onions into a large preheated pot with a splash of olive oil and add the chili flakes and the cinnamon.
- Cook everything at low heat for about 20 minutes.
- In the meantime stone the olives and cut them into large pieces.
- When the pumpkin is soft, add it to the pot.
- Add the olives, the canned tomatoes and the chickpeas (with all the water in the can) too.
- Crumb in the vegetable stock dice, and add 500 ml of boiling water.
- Set the heat to medium, and let it simmer for another 40 minutes.
- For the couscous, put it in a bowl, mix it with 3 cups of water, cover it and let it sit for 15 minutes.
- Tipp: Use the cilantro leaves to decorate your meal or just cut them and sprinkle them over your meal
Besaha! (Morrocan for "Enjoy your meal") ;)
Thanks for reading and your support so far! I'm so happy about that! :) We started Ina Nuvo – Fashion and Lifestyle Blog exactly four weeks ago and it's just amazing: over 800 "Fans" on Facebook and almost 1200 Followers on Instagram.

Upcoming Ubuntu Open Week session – how to contribute translating Ubuntu
Friday, May 4, 2012
Just a heads up that in about 50 minutes, and as part of the Ubuntu Open Week, I'll be talking again, this time about how to contribute translating Ubuntu.
So if you're either interested in learning how to do it, or if you want to ask any questions, join me on IRC in the #ubuntu-classroom channel on Freenode.
See you there!
Get the Ubuntu Online Tour on your LoCo site
Wednesday, April 25, 2012
I'm thrilled to announce the availability of the Ubuntu 12.04 Online Tour for local community teams to localize and use on their websites. The tour has been the result of the stunning work done by Ant Dillon from the Canonical Web Design Team and should provide a web-based first impression of Ubuntu to new users, now in their language.
It's a great opportunity to showcase Ubuntu to your local community to celebrate release day tomorrow.
Where is it?
How can I use it for my LoCo website?
First of all, you'll need to get set up with the right tools before you start.
Getting set up:
- Bazaar. Install the bzr revision control system
- Polib. Install the polib library
- Terminal. You'll need to run the commands below on a terminal. Simply press Ctrl+Alt+T to fire up a new terminal console.
If you've already translated the tour in Launchpad, you can build a localized version in 3 easy steps:
1. Get the code:
bzr branch lp:ubuntu-online-tour/12.04
2. Build the localized tour:
cd 12.04 cd translate-html/bin ./translate-html -t
3. Deploy the tour:
- This will vary depending on your setup, so simply make sure you copy the chromeless, css, img, js, pie and videos folders along with the videoplayer.swf file to your site. In addition, you will need the en folder and the folder for your language created in the previous step.
If you haven't finished the translation for your language in Launchpad, you will need to complete the corresponding PO file before you run step 2. Just ask on the Ubuntu translators mailing list or on Launchpad in case you need help or are not familiar with PO files.
For any issues, suggestions or enhancement, use the Online Tour's Launchpad project to report bugs or submit improvements.
Ubuntu Global Jam events: jamming Catalan style
Wednesday, February 29, 2012
If you follow the Ubuntu channels, and unless you've been living under a rock, you'll have noticed that this coming weekend we're organizing the Ubuntu Global Jam, a worldwide event where Ubuntu local community teams (LoCos) join in a get-together fest to have some fun while improving Ubuntu.
As we're ramping up to a Long Term Support release, this is a particularly important UGJ and we need all hands on deck to ensure that it does not only meet, but exceeds the high quality standard of previous Ubuntu LTS releases. This is another article in the series of blog posts showcasing the events our community is organizing, brought to you by Rafael Carreras, from the Ubuntu Catalan LoCo team.
Tell us a bit about your LoCo team
Our LoCo is language-oriented, and by language I mean Catalan (a Romanic one), not Perl or Python. In fact, the Catalan LoCo Team was the first language-oriented LoCo to be approved back in 2007. We manage our day-to-day in three mailing lists: technical doubts, team work and translations and do IRC meetings twice a month. We organise Ubuntu Global Jam events every 6 months (with some minor absences) and of course great release parties every 6 months along with some other little ones in between.
What kind of event are you organizing for this Ubuntu Global Jam?
As always, we will translate some new packages, discuss translation items, a bug triage session, some install release work and even evangelization to some passing people, as we organise UGJ this time in a civic centre.
Is this the first UGJ event you're organizing?
No, it's not, we are running UGJs since the first one and I think we only missed last one.
How do you think UGJ events help the Ubuntu community and Ubuntu?
It's a great opportunity for meeting people you only know by email or chat. Also, as we sit down together, there is little room for procrastination. Well, more or less, anyway.
Why do you think Jono Bacon always features pictures of the Catalan team when announcing the UGJ? Are we the most good-looking LoCo?
Yeah, definitely. It must be that.
Join the party by registering your event at the Ubuntu LoCo Portal!

Ubuntu Precise Open for Translation
Tuesday, December 13, 2011
I am pleased to announce that our current development release, Ubuntu Precise, is now open for translation:
Some additional information that will be useful for translators:
- Translation schedule. Remember that according to the release schedule translatable messages might be subject to change until the User Interface Freeze on the week of the 23rd of February.
- Language packs. During the development cycle, language packs containing translations will be released twice per week except for the freeze periods. This will allow users and translators to quickly see and test the results of translations.
- Test and report bugs. If you notice any issues (e.g. untranslated strings or applications), do check with the translation team for your language first. If you think it is a genuine bug, please report it.
- Learn more. Learn how to start translating Ubuntu and enable millions to use it in their language.
Ubuntu 12.04 will be a Long Term Support release, so let's rally around translations to provide the best translated OS around and go over the mark of nearly 40 languages in which Ubuntu is fully translated!

Translations sessions at the 12.04 Ubuntu Developer Summit
Sunday, October 30, 2011
So now it's the turn for the translations post!
For all of you interested in helping and being part of the effort of making Ubuntu available in any language, here's a quick list with an overview of the Ubuntu Developer Summit sessions we've got in store this week.
Remember you can register your interest in sessions you want to attend or keep up to date with by using the Subscribe link on each session's blueprint. The links in the list below will take you to the blueprints used to define the specifications for each feature or goal. You can also check out the full UDS schedule.
So, without further ado, here's the list of translations sessions:
- Translations roundtable – a roundtable discussion for all topics related to Ubuntu Translations. Add yours to the whiteboard!
- Localized ISO community growth – an initiative to raise awareness and increase usage of the localized ISO tools created last cycle
- Translations portal relaunch – relaunching and growing the Ubuntu translations portal
- Complete desktop Simplified Chinese translation – an effort to reach 100% translation coverage for the Simplified Chinese ISO in 12.04
See you all there!

(*) Mark is on vacation this week, but we'll schedule a separate IRC session with him, stay tuned!

Canadian Feed Bag Book
I have some fascinating reading to do! Check out this awesome book I found at the Mississippi Valley Textile Museum. It is full of domestic history, photos of different feed bags and companies, photos of quilts and crafts made with the vintage fabrics, and the memories behind it all. What a heartwarming and insightful resource.

Feed Bags from Fibrefest
Behold my Fibrefest find! I found this lot of feed bags for $5 at one of the vendor booths. I've been hoping to come across a few of these for a long time, and am pleased because these are specifically for products that I like, clover and oats. I love the the bold logos, the typography, the faded ink, the hole clean through the clover seed bag, the name Gold Standard, and reading the Ontario place names.

L.M. Montgomery Journals
I found these delightful diaries at a used book store for a total of $15. The first volume begins with entries from Mongomery at age 15, and chronicles her friendships, school adventures, career development, and maturing introspection. She certainly had plenty of men falling head over heels for her! The journal entries are charming, witty, honest, and absolutely enthralling, and I can't get my hands on the next 3 volumes fast enough!

Golden Art Nouveau
I found this brass candle holder at a flea market for $6. I love its curvy asymmetry and lily of the valley details.

Those Hours With You
Oh what a dreamer's delight! I found this sweet illustrated poem at Value Village for $1.99, bundled with 3 other tiny frames--bonus! The 1700s themed illustration, gilded details, and reflective verses thrill my soul. It looks like framed Maurine Hathaway prints were a popular piece of 1920s décor.

Florida Sunshine
How cheery is this can of sunshine?! In the '80s my mom's friend went to Florida for spring break and brought this back for her. The can contains "48 average sniffs of pure Florida air" and the label offers a "suggested dosage: for daily pick me up, take two large sniffs before breakfast." Quite the novelty souvenir.

Bring Back the Flour Sack
This grandma's flower garden quilt was made by some of my female relatives in the 1930s.
It was likely created using their old dresses and flour sacks, and the whole thing was pieced and sewed by hand, which is absolutely incredible! Some of the hexagons are torn off with wear.
Now the cheery quilt hangs on the wall behind my computer and art desk, inspiring vintage style designs!
This is my new surface pattern design motto, and this is my start to the return of the calico!

text: I just moved all my HT equipment from the floor next to my 61" Toshiba to its own closet to the side. This unfortunately means that I had to purchase longer video cables for my DTV and my DVD. Since I no longer have need of the following, I'm putting them up for sale at 40% off of what i paid for them (retail). These have only been used for about 6 months and they are in fine condition. Monster Video3 S-video 2m(6.56 ft.)-$30 Monster Video3 Component Video 2m(6.56 ft.)-$54 I will be willing to split shipping costs (shouldn't be much as they could ship in a padded envelope or a small box). Please take these off my hands as my wife is very upset that I just spent more money on new cables after my huge purchase just a few months ago!! I might consider a trade for some anolog cables (6) as I need them for DVD-A and it WILL be awhile before I spend any more money on cables.

If you are an individual you are welcome to post your adverts to milton-chat for items you want to sell or give away. If you are on Facebook you might also like to consider joining the Facebook group
Milton Buy & Sell (Cambridge, UK). It has over 700 members so there's lots of being posted on there, especially child related things but also other items such as eggs, DVDs, and Ikea furniture.
