Collections care and conservation work at the Penn Museum is ongoing and overseen by the Museum's Conservation Department. As resources become available, the conditions in which our collections are kept are continually upgraded.
For example, before moving the Asian collections into the Mainwaring Wing in 2002, the Museum commissioned a condition survey of its paper-based materials by conservators from the Conservation Center for Art and Historic Artifacts (CCAHA) located in Philadelphia.
Although the Museum's Conservation Department is responsible for all objects in our collections, we regularly consult CCAHA for information on and treatment of paper-based materials. Based on their recommendations, and with funding from the Carpenter Foundation, we undertook a rehousing project for these vulnerable items. Led by Conservator Julie Lawson and aided by a number of interns, this project involved constructing archival quality folders, study mats, and scroll holders for individual items, and then replacing the previous acidic and damaging storage media. As a result, this collection has been preserved and is newly accessible for future scholars.

Legal professionals. Entrepreneurial spirits. Science experts. Tech gurus. Idea defenders. Intellectual property protectors. These are the people who make up the fibers that make up Dunlap Codding.
Since our start in 1957, Dunlap Codding has grown to become Oklahoma's largest, oldest and most versatile intellectual property law firm. From right here in middle America, we secure and protect intellectual property for clients across the country and around the world. At first glance, you might think our success is an extension of our all-American principles and relentless pursuit of uncommon knowledge. Upon closer look, you'll see that is precisely the case.
If experience has taught us anything, it's that fighting for Intellectual Property rights can be a tough business. That's why we arm ourselves with quality writing utensils and an array of solutions built to tackle the toughest opponent.
A valuable piece of IP in its own right, the ink pen was invented so that man could leave a finer mark on his world, figuratively speaking. In that same vein, our pragmatic solutions can help ensure your innovative idea leaves a mark of its own. From medical science to computer science and anything in between, we will help you identify and protect the intellectual property that is rightfully yours.
If ideas are the currency of the future, it pays to know what yours are worth and how to keep them protected. Welcome to Intellectual Property Law. The art of staking your claim to the intangible.
From copyrights to patents, trademarks to trade secrets, IP law is a complex and evolving domain. But exactly what is IP? And how do you keep yours from being reduced, reused and recycled? Our IP IQ has the simple answers to these complicated questions.
We like to think of IP law as a moving, shifting, evolving form of live art. An incredibly abstract one, at that. Our aim with each project is to take an idea, give it shape and watch it come to life.
As proud as we are of the IP works we have to display, it's even more gratifying to have a long list of clients that trust us to turn the intangible into the tangible. Over the years, we've built these relationships through high quality, timely and reasonably-priced legal services. And it doesn't hurt that we know what to do with an idea once we have it in our hands.

Stem cell papers retracted
Researchers admit mistakes in work on easy method for making STAP cells
Researchers who claimed to have discovered STAP cells — stem cells made simply by stressing cells with a squeeze or with a brief plunge in acid — are pulling their papers from the journal Nature. The scientists say that mistakes in the work now make them doubt the existence of such cells.
"These multiple errors impair the credibility of the study as a whole and we are unable to say without doubt whether the [STAP cell] phenomenon is real," the researchers write in the July 3 Nature.
When they were announced in January, STAP cells were greeted with both hope and skepticism that easy techniques could turn back the developmental clock and reset cells to a primordial state (SN: 2/22/14, p. 6).
Researchers in other labs attempted to replicate the results but were unsuccessful. Scientists also pointed out that images and passages of text appeared to have been copied, sparking an investigation by RIKEN, the research institute in Japan where much of the work was done (SN Online: 3/10/14). That investigation found instances of plagiarism and data manipulation, and concluded that the study's lead author, Haruko Obokata, was guilty of misconduct (SN Online: 4/1/14). The institute is still attempting to replicate the work.
In the retraction notice, the authors now describe five more errors, including pictures of the same cells or embryos labeled as different cells or embryos.
Nature has marked the papers as retracted but the journal continues to host them on its web site. "In our opinion, to take down retracted papers from journal websites amounts to an attempt to rewrite history, and makes life needlessly difficult for those wishing to learn from such episodes," states an editorial in Nature.

High School Sports
Clayton's Klein Evans dominates Greater Neuse River 4A tennis tournament
Klein Evans was one game away from perfection at the Greater Neuse River 4A tennis tournament Thursday at East Wake.
The Clayton sophomore didn't quite get there, but he said he'll get over it.
Evans improved to 19-0 on the season with a 6-0, 6-1 win against East Wake's Will Clement to take his second straight conference singles title.
Evans won his first three matches in the tournament with 6-0 scores.
The Comets, who won the conference with a 14-0 record and are 15-0 overall, swept the titles as senior Ian Bliss and sophomore Brooks Campbell won the doubles by a 6-2, 6-4 score against West Johnston's Marcus Juarez and Ryne Turner.
"This has been a good year," said Clayton coach Ken Stivason, whose team has won two straight conference titles and four of the past six. "Klein won it as a freshman last year, and the doubles team is steadier than it was last year.
"We have sophomores at (Nos.) 1, 2 and 3 and they've been carrying us. We're stronger than we were last year, when we started three freshmen and two sophomores."
Evans got to the final with a 6-0, 6-0 victory against East Wake's Ty Matheny, and Clement topped Clayton's Naren Guha in a 6-7 (5-7), 7-5, 6-0 marathon.
"I like to get off to good starts and get momentum going and then keep doing the same things," said Evans, who is ranked No. 4 in the state in boys' 16-and-under and is 47-2 in high school matches. "It would be nice not to lose a game, but it's not a big deal.
"My backhand is my strength and I'm pretty good on the back line. But I always need to work on my forehand and my second serve."
Clement, who has never beaten Evans, said the long semifinal really didn't make much difference.
"I think I had won five games against him this season," said Clement, a junior who also plays soccer for the Warriors. "I knew I was going to lose however the semifinal went. But that (semi) was a tough match, and I played really well in that one.
"(Evans) just hits everything. On the back line, deep, everything."
Campbell and Bliss had advanced to the final with a 6-3, 6-1 victory against Southeast Raleigh's Hiren Gihwala and Blake Atkinson.
Juarez and Turner beat East Wake's David Egan and Lane Adams 6-0, 6-1 in the other semi.
"We had a tough final," said Campbell, a sophomore who is ranked No. 92 in the state boys' 16-and-under. "We had never faced those two guys before. I guess maybe we fought harder, but (the West team) played great.
"This means a lot. We lost in the second round (of conference play) last year, so this means a lot right now. "
Campbell and Bliss are 10-0 in doubles play this season.
"This is my first championship," Bliss said. "I'd never made it to a final. This is awesome and I'm really proud of us.
"Brooks is really a hammer and he kills the ball. I just try not to mess it up for him. We generally can keep the ball in play and play well at the net, and we have good serves."
Guha won the third-place singles match against Matheny 6-1, 6-0.
Southeast Raleigh's Gihwala and Atkinson won a wild third-place doubles match against Egan and Adams 6-2, 0-6, 6-3.

Fixing Mistakes in Lace Knitting with Brooke NicoEveryone who knits lace does it eventually. While working a lace shawl, you discover a mistake several rows back. If you've inserted a lifeline, you can rip back safely, but what if you don't have a lifeline, or what if you don't want to rip out all 100+ stitches simply to repair some of them?
In this class we discuss how to fix mistakes big and small in your lace knitting. We'll practice laddering up stitches in pattern using a crochet hook. We'll also learn how to rip out a repeat of 10+ stitches, leaving the rest intact, and re-knitting only those stitches. These are skills you will find invaluable in your lace—and other—knitting.
Note: Students must be comfortable with basic lace knitting including yo's, decreases, and knitting from charts.
SuppliesCrochet hook, 3.5 or 3.75mm/US 4 or 5 dpns, and stitch markers.
Sharp scissors, notebook, pen or pencil with an eraser, stitch markers, blunt tapestry needles (large and small), flexible tape measure, small calculator, and needles & crochet hooks of various sizes.
HomeworkSwatch 1: With smooth, light-colored, #1 or #2 (fingering or sport weight), wool yarn and 3.75, 4 or 4.5mm/US 5, 6, or 7 needles, cast on 35 stitches. Row 1 Purl across (WS).

I'm Today's Style at Home Glitter Guide Feature!
As I've said before, I admire Taylor and The Glitter Guide team for coming up with an ingenious new concept for online media. Blending a blog format with more editorial type stories and photography, they produce fresh, magazine-like content on a daily basis that readers flock to for inspiration. The thought that my personal style and home would be a part of that content was more than flattering.
I had so much fun spending the day working with my talented friend and photographer, Danielle Moss, to produce this photo spread. I hope you all enjoy this peek of my life and style at home!
And funny enough, I've blogged about almost everything I'm wearing in these photos.

Loved the feature! I've always thought your home was cute. The last words of the feature were actually what led me to post today. (I always read in Google Reader so posting is a pain at work).ReplyDelete
Anyway... I DO have a giant disco ball in my living room. And lots and lots of sparkly mirrors. It is glam-tastic. hahaha
This is fantastic! Congrats on such a huge honor!!ReplyDelete
great feature! I like GG...they're home features are always so bright! :))))ReplyDelete
Thanks for doing the post! I really liked hearing about your active decision to change the direction your life was taking at 23. I'm 23 now and having that very problem. I work in a crappy dead end job in Arkansas after moving post college from Massachusetts to live with my beau while he's going to law school. We're planning on moving to a different area of Arkansas when he's done in just less than two years so it's hard to justify looking for another job that will pay less without my great benefits for such a short period of time when I have big bills to pay. Moving to Arkansas meant giving up working in my dream industry, publishing, since there are no publishers in Arkansas. I'm not in a place to start my own, yet, but not living creatively is draining at times, which is why I started my blog. Thanks for sharing your story. It's really reassuring that if I work really hard at it, I can too.ReplyDelete

Yesterday, Karen and I went to the Slimbridge Wetland Centre. We visited all the fantastic hides that they have there and put our binoculars to good use. There were hundreds and thousands of these of all shapes and sizes to see.
But just as interestingly, they had over sixty English Longhorn cattle doing some conservation grazing. We use to keep this breed but not quite in the same numbers. They looked magnificent. The weather was a little misty, so apologies for the picture quality.

longhorns do look rather nice and the ones on the ings seem quite chilled but do they do the hook a knee thing that highlands find immensely funny in a tight space?

Round here they tend to use Highlands for conservation grazing; don't know why. Any idea what the ducks/geese are in the top picture? If we see any birds in those numbers round here they are Brent geese. They are supposed to be rare, but the numbers we get here can destroy a pasture and what they don't eat they mess on, and how they mess!

highlands are tough and can cope with nasty weather etc etc, they will eat stuff that other moos reject , fresh nettles, docks, small trees etc etc, they require little health intervention, they are fairly sensible and seem to avoid silly dangers although they will show considerable enthusiasm for getting to anything that looks edible, they are a bit frisky but most of them are not nasty, they taste good and can turn very poor grazing into top quality meat.
in many ways they are perfect conservation cattle.

in the western highlands they seem to do pretty well as a commercial breed living on the hills in semi wild herds. full grown ones are huge
and a bit surprising if they decide to see if the stranger wants to say hello.

Heading to the pool? Need a workout? From distance to sprint, beginners to triathletes--check out our ever-growing collection of swimming sets. Next step? Find and register for a swimming event to show off your improved swimming.
A Pool Routine for Every Level: Beginner
Why try it? You'll blast fat while sculpting your major muscles. Plus, little impact means no shin splints, sore feet, or knee pain.
It's not just about swimming laps. Try intervals or drills to increase your speed, endurance, and overall fitness, says Maria Mason, swim coach at Reebok Sports Club/NY in New York City.
No honking horns or pounding music to contend with — it's just you and the water.
The basics: Swim freestyle, using your rate of perceived exertion (RPE, or how hard the workout feels on a scale of 1 to 10) where indicated. Distances are based on a 25-yard pool (one length); to do these routines, you should feel comfortable swimming at least 100 yards without stopping.
You'll need a kickboard, fins, and a watch or clock with a second hand (available at most public pools).
100 yds. (4 lengths) Warm up (RPE 3)

3 Ways to Be a Better Swimmer
1. Focus on form: When swimming freestyle, look at the bottom of the pool, pressing chest down and keeping head, hips, and feet at the surface. If your head and chest are too high, your legs and hips will drop, creating drag. As you take a stroke, reach forward just under the surface, extending your arm from your shoulder when your hand enters the water. Pull the water toward you, then keep elbow high as you pull your arm back. Try to maintain a constant strong, fast, small kick. Begin by kicking from the hips (not the knees), keeping your ankles floppy and relaxed.
2. Breathe better: The smoothest swimmers practice "bilateral" breathing, or breathing alternately on right and left sides. To do it, turn your body to either side every time you take a breath.
3. Roll with it: Avoid lifting your whole head to breathe. Instead, roll your body on one side so your chest faces the side of the pool as your arm pushes down and leaves the water. Keep your ear in the water as you take a breath and the corner of your mouth at the surface.
Not a Fish? Start Here!
A Gallup Poll survey found that 46 percent of American adults are afraid in deep water in pools. Luckily, there are plenty of ways to conquer your fears. These drills will help make you a stronger swimmer and boost your confidence.
Practice by kicking in the shallow end of the pool. Start out wearing fins for extra power. Keep your arms extended in front of you, holding a kickboard, and keep your face in the water, looking at the bottom. Turn your body to one side to breathe every few seconds.
Once you feel comfortable, try rolling your body to either side every third kick.
Take short, quick kicks, generating from the hip. Now add in a freestyle stroke, breathing every third stroke.

Letter to the House of Representatives urging support of FY09 budget resolution
March 05, 2008
Dear Representative:
On behalf of the National Education Association's (NEA) 3.2 million members, we write to convey our appreciation for the increases provided for education in the Chairman's proposed fiscal year 2009 Congressional Budget Resolution. We urge you to support this resolution.
The proposed budget would increase education funding by $3.8 billion next year. We applaud the decision to provide $7 billion more for education than the Administration has requested – significantly departing from the path the President wishes to take, as we must to equip the next generation of Americans to compete successfully in the global economy of the 21st century.
The federal budget should reflect our nation's priorities. Top among those priorities should be ensuring that all children have a quality education, best obtained through additional investments in proven programs such as:
Title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA)
Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA)
Higher education programs such as Pell Grants
State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP)
These programs are underfunded and unable to serve fully all eligible students. Additional investment in them is essential to close achievement gaps and enable all students to realize their full potential.
In addition, we urge you to continue the $250 tax deduction for educators' out-of-pocket expenditures for classroom supplies, raise the deduction to $400, and make it permanent. We are pleased by the proposed reserve fund for higher education and look forward to working on the details. We appreciate the reserve fund for reauthorization of the Secure Rural Schools and Community Self-Determination Act that provides critically important payments to 4,400 school districts in rural counties in 42 states.
Overall, the proposal is an essential step toward meeting the needs of underfunded programs and fulfilling every child's basic right to a great public school. We urge passage of this resolution and look forward to working with you on these and other issues it moves forward.

Director of Government Relations

Weirdest Animals You Never Seen Before
Posted on 11. Dec, 2007 by Alicia in Animals
These are some weirdest animals you ever seen before. Interesting piece of information.
Sun Bear
The Sun Bear (Helarctos malayanus) is a bear found primarily in the tropical rainforests of Southeast Asia .
The Sun Bear stands approximately 4 ft (1.2 m) in length, making it the smallest member in the bear family. It is often called the dog bear because of its small stature. It has a 2 in (5 cm) tail and on average weighs less than 145 lb (65 kg). Males tend to be slightly larger than females.
Unlike other bears, the Sun Bear's fur is short and sleek. This adaptation is probably due to the lowland climates it inhabits. Dark black or brown-black fur covers its body, except on the chest where there is a pale orange-yellow marking in the shape of a horseshoe. Similar colored fur can be found around the muzzle and the eyes. This distinct marking gives the sun bear its name.
Komondor Dog
Females are 27 inches (69cm) at the withers. Male Komondorok are a minimum of 28 inches at the withers, but many are over 30 inches tall, making this one of the larger common breeds of dog. The body is not overly coarse or heavy, however, and people unfamiliar with the breed are often surprised by how quick and agile the dogs are.
Its long, thick, strikingly corded white coat (the heaviest amount of fur in the canine world) resembles dreadlocks or a mop. The puppy coat is soft and fluffy. However, the coat is wavy and tends to curl as the puppy matures. A fully mature coat is formed naturally from the soft undercoat and the coarser outer coat combining to form tassels, or cords. Some help is needed in separating the cords so the dog does not turn into one large matted mess. The length of the cords increases with time as the coat grows. Shedding is very minimal with this breed, contrary to what one might think (once cords are fully formed). The only substantial shedding occurs as a puppy before the dreadlocks fully form. The Komondor is born with only a white coat, unlike the similar-looking Puli, which is usually white, black or sometimes grayish. However, a working Komondor's coat may be discolored by the elements, and may appear off-white if not washed regularly.
Angora Rabbit
The Angora rabbit is a variety of domestic rabbit bred for its long, soft hair. The Angora is one of the oldest types of domestic rabbit, originating in Ankara , Turkey , along with the Angora cat and Angora goat.. The rabbits were popular pets with French royalty in the mid 1700s, and spread to other parts of Europe by the end of the century. They first appeared in the United States in the early 1900s. They are bred largely for their long wool, which may be removed by shearing or plucking (gently pulling loose wool).
There are many individual breeds of Angora rabbits, four of which are ARBA recognized. Such breeds include, French, German, Giant, English, Satin, Chinese, Swiss, Finnish, to name a few.
Red Panda
The Red Panda, Ailurus fulgens ("shining cat," from a Latinized form of the Greek, ailouros, "cat," and the participial form of the Latin fulgere, "to shine") is a mostly herbivorous mammal, slightly larger than a domestic cat (55 cm long). The Red Panda has semi-retractile claws and, like the Giant Panda, has a "false thumb" which is really an extension of the wrist bone. Thick fur on the soles of the feet offers protection from cold and hides scent glands. The Red Panda is native to the Himalayas in Nepal and southern China . The word panda is derived from Nepalese word "ponya" which means bamboo and plants eating animals in Nepal .
Sloths are medium-sized mammals that live in Central and South America belonging to the families Megalonychidae and Bradypodidae, part of the order Pilosa. Most scientists call these two families the Folivora suborder, while some call it Phyllophaga.
Sloths are omnivores. They may eat insects, small lizards and carrion, but their diet consists mostly of buds, tender shoots, and leaves.
Sloths have made extraordinary adaptations to an arboreal browsing lifestyle. Leaves, their main food source, provide very little energy or nutrition and do not digest easily: sloths have very large, specialized, slow-acting stomachs with multiple compartments in which symbiotic bacteria break down the tough leaves.
As much as two-thirds of a well-fed sloth's body-weight consists of the contents of its stomach, and the digestive process can take as long as a month or more to complete. Even so, leaves provide little energy, and sloths deal with this by a range of economy measures: they have very low metabolic rates (less than half of that expected for a creature of their size), and maintain low body temperatures when active (30 to 34 degrees Celsius or 86 to 93 degrees Fahrenheit), and still lower temperatures when resting. Sloths mainly live in Cecropia trees.
Emperor Tamarin
The Emperor Tamarin (Saguinus imperator) is a tamarin allegedly named for its similarity with the German emperor Wilhelm II. The name was first intended as a joke, but has become the official scientific name.
This tamarin lives in the southwest Amazon Basin , in east Peru , north Bolivia and in the west Brazilian states of Acre and Amazonas.
The fur of the Emperor Tamarin is predominantly grey colored, with yellowish speckles on its chest. The hands and feet are black and the tail is brown. Outstanding is its long, white mustache, which extends to both sides beyond the shoulders. The animal reaches a length of 24 to 26 cm, plus a 35 cm long tail. It weighs approximately 300 to 400 g.
This primate inhabits tropical rain forests, living deep in the forest and also in open tree-covered areas. It is a diurnal animal, spending the majority of its days in the trees with quick, safe movements and broad jumps among the limbs.
White-faced Saki Monkey
The White-faced Saki (Pithecia pithecia), also known as the Guianan Saki and the Golden-faced Saki, is a species of saki monkey, a type of New World monkey, found in Brazil, French Guiana, Guyana, Suriname, and Venezuela. This monkey mostly feed on fruits, but also nuts, seeds, and insects.
Tapirs are large browsing mammals, roughly pig-like in shape, with short, prehensile snouts. They inhabit jungle and forest regions of South America, Central America, and Southeast Asia . All four species of tapir are classified as endangered or vulnerable. Their closest relatives are the other odd-toed ungulates, horses and rhinoceroses.
Hagfish are marine craniates of the class Myxini, also known as Hyperotreti. Despite their name, there is some debate about whether they are strictly fish (as there is for lampreys), since they belong to a much more primitive lineage than any other group that is commonly defined fish (Chondrichthyes and Osteichthyes). Their unusual feeding habits and slime-producing capabilities have led members of the scientific and popular media to dub the hagfish as the most "disgusting" of all sea creatures.
Hagfish are long, vermiform and can exude copious quantities of a sticky slime or mucus (from which the typical species Myxine glutinosa was named). When captured and held by the tail, they escape by secreting the fibrous slime, which turns into a thick and sticky gel when combined with water, and then cleaning off by tying themselves in an overhand knot which works its way from the head to the tail of the animal, scraping off the slime as it goes. Some authorities conjecture that this singular behavior may assist them in extricating themselves from the jaws of predatory fish. However, the "sliming" also seems to act as a distraction to predators, and free-swimming hagfish are seen to "slime" when agitated and will later clear the mucus off by way of the same travelling-knot behavior.
Star-nosed Mole
The Star-nosed Mole (Condylura cristata) is a small North American mole found in eastern Canada and the north-eastern United States . It is the only member of the tribe Condylurini and the genus Condylura.
It lives in wet lowland areas and eats small invertebrates, aquatic insects, worms and molluscs. It is a good swimmer and can forage along the bottoms of streams and ponds. Like other moles, this animal digs shallow surface tunnels for foraging; often, these tunnels exit underwater. It is active day and night and remains active in winter, when it has been observed tunnelling through the snow and swimming in ice-covered streams. Little is known about the social behavior of the species, but it is suspected that it is colonial.
The Star-nosed Mole is covered in thick blackish brown water-repellent fur and has large scaled feet and a long thick tail, which appears to function as a fat storage reserve for the spring breeding season. Adults are 15 to 20 cm in length, weigh about 55 g, and have 44 teeth. The mole's most distinctive feature is a circle of 22 mobile, pink, fleshy tentacles at the end of the snout. These are used to identify food by touch, such as worms, insects and crustaceans.
Proboscis Monkey
Nasalis larvatus also known as Long-nosed Monkey is a reddish-brown arboreal Old World monkey. It is the only species in monotypic genus Nasalis.
The most distinctive trait of this monkey is the male's large protruding nose. The purpose of the large nose is unclear, but it has been suggested that it is a result of sexual selection. The female Proboscis Monkey prefers big-nosed male s , thus propagating the trait.
Males are much larger than females, reaching 72 cm (28 inches) in length, with an up to 75 cm tail, and weighing up to 24 kg (53 pounds). Females are up to 60 cm long, weighing up to 12 kg (26 lb).
The Proboscis Monkey also has a large belly, as a result of its diet. Its digestive system is divided into several parts, with distinctive gut flora, which help in digesting leaves. This digestive process releases a lot of gas, resulting in the monkey's "bloated" bellies. A side-effect of this unique digestive system is that it is unable to digest ripe fruit, unlike most other simians. The diet consists mainly of fruits, seeds and leaves.
Pink Fairy Armadillo
The Pink Fairy Armadillo (Chlamyphorus truncatus) or Pichiciego is the smallest species of armadillo (mammals of the family Dasypodidae, mostly known for having a bony armor shell). It is approximately 90-115 mm long excluding the tail, and is pale rose or pink in color. It is found in central Argentina where it inhabits dry grasslands and sandy plains with thorn bushes and cacti. It has the ability to bury itself completely in a matter of seconds if frightened.
The Pink Fairy Armadillo burrows small holes near ant colonies in dry dirt. It feeds mainly on ants and ant larvae near its burrow.. Occasionally it feeds on worms, snails, insects and larvae, or various plant and root material.
The Axolotl (or ajolote) (Ambystoma mexicanum) is the best-known of the Mexican neotenic mole salamanders belonging to the Tiger Salamander complex. Larvae of this species fail to undergo metamorphosis, so the adults remain aquatic and gilled. The species originates from the lake underlying Mexico City . Axolotls are used extensively in scientific research due to their ability to regenerate most body parts, ease of breeding, and large embryos. They are commonly kept as pets in the United States , Great Britain , Australia , Japan (where they are sold under the name Wooper Rooper, and other countries.
Axolotls should not be confused with waterdogs, the larval stage of the closely related Tiger Salamanders (Ambystoma tigrinum and Ambystoma mavortium), which is widespread in much of North America which also occasionally become neotenic, nor with mudpuppies (Necturus spp.), fully aquatic salamanders which are unrelated to the axolotl but which bear a superficial resemblance.
The Aye-aye (Daubentonia madagascariensis) is a strepsirrhine native to Madagascar that combines rodent-like teeth with a long, thin middle finger to fill the same ecological niche as a woodpecker. It is the world's largest nocturnal primate, and is characterized by its unique method of finding food; it taps on trees to find grubs, then gnaws holes in the wood and inserts its elongated middle finger to pull the grubs out.
Daubentonia is the only genus in the family Daubentoniidae and infraorder Chiromyiformes. The Aye-aye is the only extant member of the genus (although it is currently an endangered species); a second species (Daubentonia robusta) was exterminated over the last few centuries.
The Alpaca (Vicugna pacos) is a domesticated species of South American camelid developed from the wild alpacas.. It resembles a sheep in appearance, but is larger and has a long erect neck as well as coming in many colors, whereas sheep are generally bred to be white and black.
Alpacas are kept in herds that graze on the level heights of the Andes of Ecuador, southern Peru , northern Bolivia , and northern Chile at an altitude of 3500 to 5000 meters above sea-level, throughout the year.
Alpacas are considerably smaller than llamas, and unlike them are not used as beasts of burden but are valued only for their fiber. Alpacas only have fleece fibers, not woolen fibers, used for making knitted and woven items much as sheeps wool is. These items include blankets, sweaters, hats, gloves, scarves, a wide variety of textiles and ponchos in South America , and sweaters, socks and coats in other parts of the world. The fiber comes in more than 52 natural colors as classified in Peru , 12 as classified in Australia and 22 as classified in America .
Tarsiers are prosimian primates of the genus Tarsius, a monotypic genus in the family Tarsiidae, which is itself the lone extant family within the infraorder Tarsiiformes. The phylogenetic position of extant tarsiers within the order Primates has been debated for much of the past century, and tarsiers have alternately been classified with strepsirrhine primates in the suborder Prosimii, or as the sister group to the simians (=Anthropoidea) in the infraorder Haplorrhini. Analysis of SINE insertions, a type of macromutation to the DNA, is argued to offer very persuasive evidence for the monophyly of Haplorrhini, where other lines of evidence, such as DNA sequence data, had remained ambiguous. Thus, some systematists argue that the debate is conclusively settled in favor of a monophyletic Haplorrhini.
Tarsiers have enormous eyes and long feet. Their feet have extremely elongated tarsus bones, which is how they got their name. They are primarily insectivorous, and catch insects by jumping at them. They are also known to prey on birds and snakes. As they jump from tree to tree, tarsiers can catch even birds in motion. Gestation takes about six months, and tarsiers give birth to single offspring. All tarsier species are nocturnal in their habits, but like many nocturnal organisms some individuals may show more or less activity during the daytime. Unlike many nocturnal animals, however, tarsiers lack a light-reflecting area (tapetum lucidum) of the eye.
Dumbo Octopus
The octopuses of the genus Grimpoteuthis are sometimes nicknamed "Dumbo octopuses" from the ear-like fins protruding from the top of their "heads" (actually bodies), resembling the ears of Walt Disney's flying elephant. They are benthic creatures, living at extreme depths, and are some of the rarest of the Octopoda species.
Frill-necked Lizard
The Frill-necked Lizard, or Frilled Lizard also known as the Frilled Dragon, (Chlamydosaurus kingii) is so called because of the large ruff of skin which usually lies folded back against its head and neck. The neck frill is supported by long spines of cartilage, and when the lizard is frightened, it gapes its mouth showing a bright pink or yellow lining, and the frill flares out, displaying bright orange and red scales. The frill may also aid in thermoregulation.
They may grow up to one metre in total length. They often walk quadrupedally when on the ground. When frightened they begin to run on all-fours and then accelerate onto the hind-legs. In Australia , the frill-necked lizard is also known as the "bicycle lizard" because of this behaviour. Males are significantly larger than females both as juveniles and when mature. The frill of the Australian frilled dragon is used to frighten off potential predators – as well as hissing and lunging. If this fails to ward off the threat, the lizard flees bipedally to a nearby tree where it climbs to the top and relies on camouflage to keep it hidden.
The Narwhal (Monodon monoceros) is an Arctic species of cetacean. It is a creature rarely found south of latitude 70°N. It is one of two species of white whale in the Monodontidae family (the other is the beluga whale). It is possibly also related to the Irrawaddy dolphin.
The English name narwhal is derived from the Dutch name narwal which in turn comes from the Danish narhval which is based on the Old Norse word nar, meaning "corpse." This is a reference to the animal's colour. The narwhal is also commonly known as the Moon Whale.
In some parts of the world, the Narwhal is colloquially referred to as a "reamfish."
Sucker-footed Bat
The Madagascar Sucker-footed Bat, Old World Sucker-footed Bat, or Sucker-footed Bat (Myzopoda aurita and Myzopoda schliemanni) is a species of bat in the Myzopodidae family.
Pygmy Marmoset
The Pygmy Marmoset (Callithrix (Cebuella) pygmaea) is a monkey native to the rainforest canopies of western Brazil , southeastern Colombia , eastern Ecuador , and eastern Peru . It is one of the smallest primates, with its body length ranging from 14-16 cm (excluding the 15-20 cm tail) and the smallest monkey. Males weigh around 140 g (5 ounces), and females only 120 g ( 4..2 ounces).
TDespite its name, the Pygmy Marmoset is somewhat different from the typical marmosets classified in genus Callithrix. As such, it is accorded its own subgenus, which was formerly recognized as its own genus, Cebuella.
TThe Pygmy Marmoset has a tawny coat, and a ringed tail that can be as long as its body. Their claws are specially adapted for climbing trees, a trait unique to the species. They are omnivorous, feeding on fruit, leaves, insects, and sometimes even small reptiles. Much of their diet, however, comes from tapping trees for sap. Up to two-thirds of their time is spent gouging tree bark to reach the gummy sap. The Pygmy Marmoset has specialized incisors for gouging holes in bark. Unfortunately, because of its small size, and its swift movements, it is very hard to observe in the wild.
TIn captivity, the Pygmy Marmoset can live up to 11 years.
The blobfish (Psychrolutes marcidus) is a fish that inhabits the deep waters off the coasts of Australia and Tasmania . Due to the inaccessibility of its habitat, it is rarely seen by humans.
Blobfish are found at depths where the pressure is several dozens of times higher than at sea level, which would likely make gas bladders inefficient. To remain buoyant, the flesh of the blobfish is primarily a gelatinous mass with a density slightly less than water; this allows the fish to float above the sea floor without expending energy on swimming. The relative lack of muscle is not a disadvantage as it primarily swallows edible matter that floats by in front it.
The Platypus (Ornithorhynchus anatinus) is a semi-aquatic mammal endemic to eastern Australia , including Tasmania . Together with the four species of echidna, it is one of the five extant species of monotremes, the only mammals that lay eggs instead of giving birth to live young. It is the sole living representative of its family (Ornithorhynchidae) and genus (Ornithorhynchus), though a number of related species have been found in the fossil record.
The bizarre appearance of this egg-laying, duck-billed mammal baffled naturalists when it was first discovered, with some considering it an elaborate fraud. It is one of the few venomous mammals; the male Platypus has a spur on the hind foot which delivers a poison capable of causing severe pain to humans. The unique features of the Platypus make it an important subject in the study of evolutionary biology and a recognizable and iconic symbol of Australia ; it has appeared as a mascot at national events and is featured on the reverse of the Australian 20 cent coin.
Until the early 20th century it was hunted for its fur, but it is now protected throughout its range. Although captive breeding programs have had only limited success and the Platypus is vulnerable to the effects of pollution, it is not under any immediate threat.
The Shoebill, Balaeniceps rex also known as Whalehead is a very large bird related to the storks. It derives its name from its massive shoe-shaped bill.
The Shoebill is a very large bird, averaging 1.2 m (4 ft) tall, 5.6 kg (12.3 lbs) and 2.33 m (7.7 ft) across the wings. The adult is mainly grey, the juveniles are browner. It lives in tropical east Africa, in large swamps from Sudan to Zambia .
The Shoebill was added rather recently to the ornithological lists; the species was only discovered in the 19th century when some skins were brought to Europe . It was not until years later that live specimens reached the scientific community. The bird was known to both ancient Egyptians and Arabs however. There exist Egyptian images depicting the Shoebill while the Arabs referred to the bird as abu markub, which means one with a shoe. Clearly, this refers to the striking bill.
Yeti Crab
Kiwa hirsuta is a crustacean discovered in 2005 in the South Pacific Ocean . This decapod, which is approximately 15 cm (6 inches) long, is notable for the quantity of silky blond setae (resembling fur) covering its pereiopods (thoracic legs, including claws). Its discoverers dubbed it the "yeti lobster" or "yeti crab"[2].
K. hirsuta was discovered in March 2005 by a group organised by Robert Vrijenhoek of the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute in Monterey , California , using the submarine DSV Alvin, operating from RV Atlantis[3]. The discovery was announced on the 7th of March, 2006. It was found 1,500 km (900 miles) south of Easter Island in the South Pacific, at a depth of 2,200 m (7,200 feet), living on hydrothermal vents along the Pacific-Antarctic Ridge[4]. Based on both morphology and molecular data, the species was deemed to form a new genus and family (Kiwaidae). The animal has strongly reduced eyes that lack pigment, and is thought to be blind.
The 'hairy' pincers contain filamentous bacteria, which the creature may use to detoxify poisonous minerals from the water emitted by the hydrothermal vents where it lives. Alternatively, it may feed on the bacteria, although it is thought to be a general carnivore[2]. Its diet also consists of green algae and small shrimp.

Office of the Comptroller of the Currency Recognizes National Financial Capability Month at Capitol Hill Event
WASHINGTON — The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency recognized National Financial Capability Month by participating in the annual Financial Literacy Day on Capitol Hill event today.
"National Financial Capability Month provides an opportunity for consumers to focus on building a strong financial foundation," said Comptroller of the Currency Thomas J. Curry. "The OCC encourages partnerships among national banks, federal savings associations and community organizations to promote financial literacy across the country."
During the event, OCC staff distributed its financial capability materials, including the Financial Literacy Update, and OCC's Consumer Advisories. Staff also promoted the OCC's HelpWithMyBank.gov website, which provides answers to 250 common banking questions covering such topics as credit cards, bank accounts, mortgages, consumer loans, insurance, identity theft, and safe deposit boxes. The site also includes links and references to financial information and an online consumer complaint form.
The OCC is a member of the federal Financial Literacy and Education Commission, which manages MyMoney.gov, the federal government's website dedicated to financial literacy. The site provides a variety of resources from the OCC and the other 22 federal agencies that are part of the Commission. These resources help people make informed decisions about buying homes, balancing checkbooks, investing in 401(k) plans, and other financial matters.

The boring fine print (that is actually the same size as all the other print): The size (scale) you see displayed in all Spoonflower offerings is actually only a suggestion. In my case it is the size I personally wanted for my eight inch proof of the design. Because this is custom printing designs can be made in any (technically possible and reasonable looking) size. You can even order the same design in two sizes, such as a yard of big and a yard of small, to use together. This does take communication and co-ordination with the artist. But do not think that the scale you see on the screen is the only way the design comes. If you need tiny and the design is big, or the reverse, you can buy a design you like that way.

On the premiere of last night's American Idol, scat-happy judge Steven Tyler licked every single female aspirant with his eyeballs, no matter their age. You'll notice in the clip above that you can actually see him, at times, speaking to women's legs. The most awkward though, was when he leered at one 15-year-old girl, and then told her father that she was "hot and happening." At 63, he could be her grandfather. Gross.
In other Idol news, Amy Brumfield, the 24-year-old contestant who revealed that she lives in a tent and then went on to wow the judges with her version of Alicia Keys' "Superwoman" has a very lengthy arrest record. One of her offenses? Getting so drunk that she pissed her pants in a Baskin-Robbins.

You want some forward speed when you land so you are on a plane seamlessly - think of an airplane landing and it is getting the angle and speed right?ice wrote:This is interesting to me.
I know to land softly on a jump you re-direct the kite forwards. You can continue and complete the downloop.
Can someone explain the science of this to me?
It seems so counter intuitive - why does redirecting the kite forward and toward the water, give you lift?
If just trying to soften your landing then some kites you can sheet in to 'parchute' but you will plop down and sink before having to dive the kite and get going again.
Downloops are very easy, but maybe spend some time just looping your kite on a wide beach or in some shallow water to get a feel for how and where the power comes with your particular kite?

Of all the best practices enunciated by the Agile movement, perhaps no other makes as much sense in practice as continuous integration (CI). It is predicated on the simple theory that if you rebuild the project every time source code is checked in, developers can be informed immediately of changes that break the build. The shorter the loop between the break and notification to the developer, the more likely the developer will still remember the details of the changes, hunt down what's wrong, and get it fixed. This approach is easy to understand, straightforward to implement, and very effective. If you're not using continuous integration, you're working under a very substantial handicap.
A secondary, but important, benefit of CI is that by building the product regularly, the organization has in theory a working (if still incomplete) binary that it can use to demo the software if the need arises. (Without warning, the CIO might want to see where things stand). Moreover, the usual problem of discovering build problems one of the final stages in waterfall-like methodologies is moved up the cycle, so that the effects of changes on the builders are known all the way along. This step removes all the frantic patching and rewriting that occurs in non-CI shops when a project is first tested.
The next step in CI, called "Continuous Delivery" after the Jolt Award-winning book that came out in 2010, takes CI even further. It contends that the process automation of CI should be extended to delivering and installing the apps and running tests on the installed app. This added step gives the development organization an additional level of comfort. They can automate installation and verification with each new build, and know that the product subset they can deliver on any given day is completely ready to go should the client want to see it. The need for tighter integration between development and operations caused by the automation of continuous delivery is what forged the term "DevOps." It is supposed to mean a closer relationship between developers and operators (a historically wide and sometimes acrimonious divide), but in fact, everyone seems to have different definitions of what DevOps really means.
Given the new emphasis on CI and continuous delivery, you'd think that the industry would be offering all kinds of new tools somewhat akin to the sudden profusion of cloud technology vendors. But in fact, the reverse is happening. The high end is consolidating around two or three principal products, and the low-to-middle end is being dominated by two OSS solutions. The numerous other OSS CI products of the past have disappeared entirely or are simply awaiting word of their impending doom.
At the high end, there are IBM Rational BuildForge, ElectricCloud's Electric Commander, and UrbanCode's DevOps Platform. These products regularly handle the build, test, deploy stages of codebases greater than 20 million LOCs. In fact, that kind of line count is their sweet spot. In the next tier are mid-range products such as Atlassian's Bamboo. There then comes a very large gap as we enter the domain of CI servers for SMBs and enterprise departments. Historically, these were served by open-source tools, especially Cruise Control. Other competitors, although somewhat less capable than Cruise Control, were Continuous, Hudson, LuntBuild, and others. Today, these are all more or less shrinking (LuntBuild seems to have ceased activity entirely) and being replaced by Jenkins (formerly Hudson).
Hudson was, for years, gaining ground on the other products listed here due to its ease of installation and numerous plugins. When it was acquired by Oracle as part of the Sun purchase, there arose a dispute over the Hudson name. Most developers, including the principal developer, decided to fork the project and renamed it "Jenkins." Hudson was then donated by Oracle to the Eclipse Foundation, where it is primarily maintained by Oracle contributors and staff from Sonatype (the Maven company). While the bulk of the new activity is occurring in the Jenkins fork, Hudson is undergoing a top-to-bottom cleanup. Which version you prefer depends mostly on personal choice as the differences between them are salient mostly to diehards within the respective communities. Either one will serve you well. And between them, they are clearing out all other competitors in the low to lower-middle strata of the market.
It's not often that we see a market's mission expand, while the number of its constituent products contracts. Nonetheless, I expect, that both trends will continue. Continuous delivery will reach farther into development process automation and the number of companies who can keep up with the new demands will continue to shrink. As a result, it makes sense to take time to choose your CI platform with particular care. CI builders can be difficult to swap out if you made the wrong choice.

Maintenance UpdateA substantial systems upgrade is planned for Monday Evening, at 16:45 Eastern, 13:45 Pacific.
0 Members and 1 Guest are viewing this topic.
With the grace of God and the blessing of His Grace Bishop Serapion, St. Peter and St. Paul Coptic Orthodox Church will hold the Fifth Annual Orthodox Day of Praise on May 12, 2012.This day is a gathering and a participation of different Orthodox churches with love which is the greatest truth for a praise day. This is a humble effort is to unite our Orthodox congregation using the language of heaven - hymns and praises.In the past years we had the blessing of the Russian, Syrian, Serbian, Armenian, Antiochian, Syriac, Ukrainian, and Ethiopian churches' participation.
Is this day to feature EO/OO concelebration?
I don't believe there is any Liturgy celebrations.
While I have not attended in the past, what I do know is that there is no joint liturgical celebration. The liturgy will be a celebration of the Coptic liturgy and if non OO attend, they would be simply observing. The event is mostly presentations of various ecclesiastical choirs of the various Orthodox traditions and some fellowship.In Christ,Fr. Kyrillos

Claus, I need help. I'm asked about how to keep userbase page translations in sync with changes on the English pages. You are among the most prolific of translators, so would you mind sharing with us your methodology? How do you monitor changes? What tools do you use? Anything you can tell me would be very helpful. Thanks. --annew 15:50, 18 October 2009 (UTC)
I have been in touch with the Kopete devs. They plan to completely update their website 'soon'. I propose that we do nothing more about Kopete until that happens, then we can start a complete re-write. The current info was taken from wiki.kde.org, and was out of date even when I imported it. I'll keep an eye out for the kopete site update and alert you when I start to make changes worth translating. No point in making work for you :-) --annew 10:34, 23 October 2009 (UTC)
Over the last few days I've done a lot of work on categorising pages because I wanted to add an extension that uses them. I have now discovered that the extension is unsuitable for userbase, so that work is useless. Please don't waste your valuable time in adding the category marks to your translations, and please accept my apologies--annew 13:06, 26 November 2009 (UTC)
Please read and add your comments to http://userbase.kde.org/Talk:Category_Translation. Thanks --annew 19:20, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
When you have time, could you start converting your categories to match the page suffixes - eg. [[Category:Sider på dansk_(da)]] becomes [[Category:Sider på dansk/da]] Thanks annew 14:45, 12 August 2010 (CEST)

Good to have you back, Kaiz! If you ever need help with something in my RPG or anything else, PM me. Always here for my Vod
Ok clan, got another question for those who care to answer I'm currently reading the Bounty Hunter Wars books and I have gotten to a part in Slave Ship, where Kuat of Kuat is describing how he made specifications and built slave I for Boba. I thought Boba is using the same Slave I that Jango had. am I missing something, or is Boba Fett's Slave I an entirely different ship, built directly for him?
Thanks guys, hope someone can answer this
That was written before Ep II, before we knew so much about the Fetts. The author made that up trying to write come up with Boba's history on his own. Now after Ep II you have to take books like that and pick out the parts like that as non-canon, and in somecases the whole book.
Hope this helps
Hey Ralin, thanks so much. It does help rather a lot, as the book was starting to get me very confused. Thanks for the info
Ok people, trying not to double post, but the topic is dying, so I'm here to bring it back (again )
Got a funny idea for an RPG, but don't know all the specifics. Goes something like Fett, or other character of choice, crash lands on Earth. Yes, I know how ridiculous that sounds, but it could be pretty good with some work. If anyone thinks it would be a cool idea, then I'll try and work on it some more any feed back would be appreciated, good or bad.
(yes I know i'm double posting) NOOOOOO.... looks like green took my idea
Doesn't mean......
I took your idea? i havent even posted on here!
(yes I know i'm double posting) NOOOOOO.... looks like green took my idea
LoL, I wonder if he did get the idea from you...............wondering if I should have given him the Rep point now for what I thought was a very original idea..............
My suggestion for RPG ideas was meant to spur discussion and improvment before they were posted, but if ideas are getting stolen then maybe it's not such a good idea.
I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt this time, Green. But if another idea that starts here suddenly shows up in one of your RPGs without the permission of the original creator, I'm going to be VERY unhappy about it
And it is a good idea, CA. Sorry again for not checking the posts here. Maybe we could have worked on it before the idea got posted *still can if you like; Green's idea might die or could shift, as I was trying to talk him into making it more like War of the Worlds, with us *BFFC members* fighting aliens that land.*
Here's an idea from me. What about a real Medieval setting? Could be one side against another *neighbering kings/barrons or whatever* with a wildcard faction thrown in *Vikings or the like* With all the Oblivion and Fantasy RPGs, I thought it might be refreshing to get things 'real' again. Any thoughts/suggestions?
WHAT HAVE I DONE!!!!?????? :X geeeez! i haven't done anything!!!!
WHAT? why are you sighing?
I'm sorry green and everybody, didn't mean for every one to get into a big argument, I was just kinda depressed bout it. Again, I was not trying to cause trouble, so everyone can calm down I'll just think of a new RPG
Sorry, CA, but i didn't copy you, about the RPG idea.......k?
Thats fine, great minds think alike, or is it dumb ones? It's all cool
I'm sorry green and everybody, didn't mean for every one to get into a big argument, I was just kinda depressed bout it.
No need to say sorry or be depressed, CA. You had an interesting idea. I haven't seen Green's new version of his idea, so maybe we can still work yours if you want. Just ask if you would like to work on it
Hell, if you drop it, I might revive the version of this my brother and I used to play when we were little
I didn't copy......I didn't copy.......I didn'y copy......:(
It would be very fun to work on, and just drop the subject green Perhaps I could think of something with an even better twist, but I don't know where green's going with his. Also, Ralin, you said earlier when I joined that you would help me with a title or something. That would be pretty cool, but I don't know what to put, so if you can give me some suggestions that would be cool Thanks
K, sorry, CA. I've made another RPG, like the same one...... " Wandering Fans " you can join if you like
No Prob, CA. What would you like? A literal rank in Mando'a? Or something more creative like what V_M did?
I joined like two or three months ago.....
Do you like my title? ~ alit drakus ver'alor a sharad hett......
Can I get something that has to do with the clan? That would be pretty spiffy
Can I aswell? Please, spiffy also....
Translations people! no idea what your's means so please translate, I know Ralin's means clan drakus leader (am I correct?) and terra told me her's mean clan drakus's leader's darling/sweetheart
What is Mando'a for Green?
Can I aswell? Please, spiffy also....
What's not spiffy about yours Green? *it means 'Clan Drakus lieutenant Ashard Hett *spelling; I can't see it here in the quote box*
I'm thinking 'Aliit Drakus Alor'ad' for you CA 'Clan Drakus Captain'
If you like, you can add a name at the end of it as well like green and Kaiz did.
If you'd rather have more of a job description like Mandalorian Assassin or something like that, give me an idea and I'll see if I can find it
Hey, I like it Sounds perfect just the way it is, I'm gonna go add it now, thanks Ralin
CA (now Clan Drakus Captain )

I am now the proud owner of an EMachines E350 netbook. Well, proud is probably overstating it. It's about the same spec as most of the other netbooks out there and it was cheap.
This particular model boasts 1GB RAM, a 160GB HDD, and an Intel Atom N450 processor.
It also comes with Windows 7 Starter as the OS. Hmmm, not sure about that last bit.
My purpose in obtaining this machine is to replace the venerable Laptop I've been carting around on the train for the last several months. Like the Emachines, it also has 1GB RAM. Unlike the netbook, it's running Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS.
So, all I need to do now is to wipe away Windows and install Ubuntu. Oh, and make sure the wireless network card still works ( which has often been a problem with this kind of exercise).
So, what follows is the steps taken to install and configure Ubuntu on my netbook, with all the mistakes and associated cursing removed so I can pretend I really do know what I'm doing.
If you want to follow along, you will need :
- a machine to experiment on ( or your new netbook)
- a machine running Ubuntu already
- a wired network connection
- a USB stick with at least 2GB capacity
- a bit of time (such as a Bank Holiday)
By the way, I'm going to ruin the suspense here and say that I've typed this on and posted it from the netbook in question, using OpenOffice Writer and a wireless connection. You can probably tell by the fact the typing is a bit slower and there are probably some amusing spelling mistakes. I put this down to getting used to the new keyboard.
A word of warning here – apart from the wireless card, I'm really not too bothered about the other peripherals on this machine. So, I'm not worried about the web cam, for example and have not covered this here.
Getting Ubuntu
Head over to the Ubuntu Download page and press the big orange button. Note – I've decided to stick with the OS version that I know here and gone for the Long-Term Support version (10.04.2 LTS). I'm not quite brave enough to explore the delights of the Unity desktop just yet. For the rest of this post, I'll assume that you've followed suit. If you have got a bit adventurous, just remember that the name of the file you've downloaded will be that appropriate for the downloaded version.
Depending on the speed of your connection, you may want to make a cup of tea (or coffee, if you prefer), mow the lawn, or do any of the other jobs that Deb has lined up for you on this fine Bank Holiday weekend.
What's that ? She only does that to me ? I wondered why she kept saying I was special.
Anyway, after the download, you should have the following under $HOME/Downloads :
Creating a Live image on a USB
Deb thought I should call this section "Where Ubuntu babies come from". Having listened to one or two further suggestions about inserting USB sticks, I decided that it would be rather more edifying to stick to the point. Honestly, a bit of sunshine and a jug of Pimms and there's no stopping her !
Anyway, at this point you need to make sure that any files you have on your USB stick are backed up because we're about to wipe it.
We're now on your existing Ubuntu machine ( running 10.04), which also has the iso we downloaded (ubuntu-10.04.02-desktop-i386.iso).
Insert the USB stick then go to the System menu Administration/Startup Disk Creator
In the top pane you need to select the Ubuntu iso file (ubuntu-10.04.02-desktop-i386.iso) you're going to use and in the bottom, select your USB.
NOTE – it may be that the USB is listed twice in the bottom pane. If so, choose the line that shows an amount of free space on the USB.
At this point, you do have the option of creating a startup disk that has an area of writable space. You don't have to do this to complete this exercise and doing so will cause both the disk creation and, later on, booting from the USB, to take a bit longer. On the other hand, it will allow you to test the wireless card setup BEFORE you take the plunge and install the OS on your netbook.
When it's all done, you should see…
At this point it's probably a good idea to test the Live image is working as expected. To do this, simply make sure that the BIOS on your machine is set to look for a USB drive before the hard-drive, insert your shiny new Live Image USB, and restart.
If your machine now boots off the USB and you see a screen offering a language selection, together with a buttons to either try out or install Ubuntu, you're pretty much good to go.
The Wireless Card
As I mentioned earlier, this is my main area of trepidation. Some machines are built in such a way that the wireless card can only be enabled in Windows. I really don't want to dual-boot, but if I were to go ahead and wipe Windows out completely, would wireless be lost to me forever ? Slightly dramatic I know, but I'm trying to build some tension here.
Anyway, with your netbook booted from the Live Image on the USB, Go into the Applications Menu, Accessories/Terminal.
Now we need to get some info as to the nature of this wireless card :
lspci -v
The output you get from this command should include an entry for a Network controller ( that's your wireless card). Mine looks like this :
02:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation Device 4727 (rev 01) Subsystem: Broadcom Corporation Device 0510 Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 17 Memory at 52000000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K] Capabilities: <access denied> Kernel driver in use: wl Kernel modules: wl
At this point I must confess that this is the output AFTER I've done all the configuration. The relevant bit is really the First and second line, which gives details of the wireless card. If yours is the same, then the signs are quite positive.
If you have created your Live Image with a writable area, you can at this point test to see if the driver setup will work. If not, you'll have to take the plunge and go for an installation.
Now, you need to make use of your wired connection so that your netbook does actually have an internet connection.
Next, you should notice a green network card icon on the top menu bar :
Click on this and select the install drivers menu item from the drop-down ( it should be the only one). You'll then get a screen asking if you want to activate this driver. Just say yes…
Once it's completed and activated, remove the wired connection. The wireless card should now be active and you should get a list of wireless connections available when you click the wireless icon on the menu bar ( that's the five concentric semi-circles).
Provided all has gone to plan you can now go forth and install Ubuntu for real. Just re-boot with the USB stick in place, select Install Ubuntu and away you go.
I've got to run off now, I think I'm being summoned to the Garden Centre. Bank Holidays. Don't you just love 'em ?
