Yadkin County School District in North Carolina educates 6,000 students in ten school buildings representing approximately one million square feet of floor space. Yadkin County School Districts main objective is to provide a supportive, caring and productive environment in which the children can obtain the knowledge and skills that they will need to become productive members of society. The district believes that it is its duty to our community and environment to do its part to save energy and resources. Increasing energy efficiency helps cut the cost of operating facilities, thus giving more resources to aid in educating students. The district's partnership with ENERGY STAR has provided Yadkin County School District with resources and information needed to compare energy efficiency with other buildings nationwide. Partnering with ENERGY STAR has helped the district to strive to set new goals and keep its facilities operating at full efficiency.
Yadkin County School District has been recognized by EPA as an ENERGY STAR Leaders Top Performer for achieving a portfolio-wide average energy performance rating of 90 as well as a portfolio-wide increase in energy efficiency of 10 percent in 2009 and 20 percent in 2010. Over the past four years Yadkin County Schools has reduced its electrical usage by 5.2 million kilowatt hours and heating oil usage by 62,000 gallons. In the last year alone, the district has eliminated carbon emissions of more than 4,000 metric tons, the equivalent of planting more than 900 acres of trees. Yadkin County School District has saved a total of $716,000 in the past four years of its energy management program. The district's success in energy savings started when the Board of Education adopted an energy policy and, with the help of EduCon, implemented the policy and trained an energy manager to oversee the program. The energy management team tracks energy cost and usage, regularly audits all the buildings in the district, and makes improvements when needed to improve buildings' efficiency. With close communication between the administration, faculty, maintenance team, and students, the district has been able to make its energy efficiency program a success. Yadkin County School District has benefited from its relationship with ENERGY STAR.

Manchester has a good selection of hotels to choose from, ranging from 5-star properties such as the Lowry to budget choices like Britannia Sachas. In between there's a range of boutique hotels, including the Malmaison and the Great John Street, and established favourites such as the Midland. Serviced apartments are increasingly becoming the preferred choice for many.
Most accommodation is located in the city centre, although there is a good selection at the airport and Salford Quays. During the football season, visitors are advised at book well ahead, as rooms can be difficult to find if Manchester United are playing at home.

Elkhart, Ind. An Elkhart woman is one step closer to competing in the 25th anniversary Hoosier Millionaire game show this August.
Tiffany DeVon said she remembered watching the popular show as a kid and jumped at the chance to compete on the anniversary show this year.
"When I saw that they had that ticket coming out, I said I'm going to win this," DeVon said. "I'm going to enter all my losing tickets and I'm going to be on this show."
After entering about 79 losing tickets, with some contributions from her father, Tiffany got a call from the Hoosier Lottery last month.
"I saw that it was the Hoosier Lottery so I ran to the top of the stairs and I said 'Tiffany, you might want to take this call,'" Tiffany's mom, Peggy DeVon, remembered. "And she said 'Who is it?' and I said 'You might want to take this call!"
Tiffany learned that she won a trip to the semifinal Hoosier Millionaire Road Show round in Evansville on March 27. There she will compete against 5 other contestants for a shot at the finale show in August at the Indiana State Fair.
"I just look at this as a blessing," said Tiffany, who said she's bringing her best friend and ten VIP's along for the ride. "Really, there's so much negative stuff going on all the time and I'm just really excited to be part of something positive."
While Tiffany realizes she might not make it to the million-dollar round, she can't help but think about what she'd do with the money. After paying off her debts and paying back her parents for their help over the years, she said she'd work to make her dream come true.
"If I won the million, I would love to start my own bakery," said Tiffany. "I love baking, I love cookies and candy. I mean, I like the job that I have now, but it's not my dream and that's what I would do with it."

Parents should probably be more concerned about not allowing their diabetic teens to play sports than allowing them to play. Physical activity is not only an essential component of controlling diabetes-it also improves your child's current and long-term health.
Be Sure Your Teen is Ready and Prepared
Before giving your teen the go-ahead to play sports, schedule a doctor's visit for a physical to determine diet, insulin needs and exercise readiness. Your physician may advise your teen to start slowly and work up to more strenuous levels of exercise, especially if your child's overweight and out of shape. Make sure your teen follows your physician's recommendations to the letter.
Tell coaches and sports directors about your teen's diabetes and how to handle an emergency. Make sure your child brings a supply kit that includes a diabetic testing kit, written health plan, emergency contact information, insulin and healthy snacks to workouts and games.
Monitor Glucose
Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) can occur during or after exercise. Your doctor may advise testing glucose levels before and after a workout so your teen can eat and medicate as needed. If hypoglycemia symptoms occur, stop the activity, test your child's glucose level and correct the problem as directed by your physician. Make sure your teen knows to eat a snack to boost the glucose level, if needed.
Symptoms of hypoglycemia include shakiness, weakness, sweating, lightheadedness, anxiety, hunger, headache and mental confusion or problems concentrating.
If the body doesn't have enough insulin to use the glucose that's released during exercise, the glucose stays in the blood and results in hyperglycemia (high blood sugar). If your teen is hyperglycemic, physical activity should stop until the blood sugar level is back to its safe range.
Symptoms of hyperglycemia include exhaustion, increased urination and thirst, weight loss, vision changes, moodiness, numbness or tingling in hands or feet, muscle cramps and yeast infection.
Sports to Avoid
Avoid sports that pose greater danger if low blood sugar levels go down during the activity, such as rock climbing, hang gliding or scuba diving. To be safe, check with your child's doctor before trying any new sport or physical activity.

Patch 6.0.2: PvP season 15 ends
This means several things - there will be no Arenas or Rated BG's after the patch, all Conquest Points will be converted to Honor, with excess Honor above 4000 points being converted to gold.
- PvP Season 15 comes to an end with the launch of Patch 6.0.2. (Date has not been determined yet.)
- Conquest Points will be converted into Honor Points, and any Honor above the cap of 4,000 will be converted into in-game currency at a rate of 35 silver per point.
- Season 15 items will have Conquest costs converted into Honor Points equivalent to their previous Conquest Point cost, with the exception of any items that have a rating requirement.
- Season 15 items with rating requirements will no longer be available for purchase.
- Note that Arena and Rated Battleground matches will not be available until PvP Season 16 begins.
So there you have it - the upcoming end for Season 15 is as soon as the patch itself (which we still have no date for) and when it comes, the usual conversions will commence. If you're trying to hit a certain rating, you have been warned.

text: With the Iron Man films breaking records since 2008, movie fans everywhere know who James "Rhodey" Rhodes is. Tony "Iron Man" Stark's best buddy, the Air Force Colonel who went on to don his own suit of armor to become "War Machine". Tony Stark's first appearance was 1968 and while Jim Rhodes wasn't introduced until eleven years later in Iron Man #118, Rhodey was retconned to be integral to the origin of Iron Man. It was later revealed that Rhodey himself was the man who helped Iron Man escape from Vietnam when the wounded Stark had just completed his first suit of armor (see Iron Man #144 for details). Long after that first meeting, but long before he went by the name War Machine, the man went by a different name. Not "Rhodey" or "Jim Rhodes"... for a time the name he went by was "Iron Man".

The FBV does not have a MIDI connector, only USB - you need to run it to your computer, use Line 6 Control software to control devices hooked to the computer. Not sure if you can install the Line 6 software on your iPad.

What is most unfortunate is that the vaccine is least effective in those who most need it – the frail elderly, young children and others without robust immune systems. "The flu vaccine is far from perfect but it's still by far the best tool we have to prevent the flu," Dr. Frieden said. But there is no question better flu vaccines are needed.
I've had the flu before so there's no point getting a flu shot right? – Ashok, Burnaby, B.C.
Getting the flu and recovering will confer natural immunity – but only for that particular strain. So, if you contracted the widely circulating strain of the flu this year, A/Victoria (H3N2), there is probably not a lot of point getting a flu shot now. It should be noted however that, after the A type of the flu hits, there is usually another wave of B type flu that follows a few weeks later so you could, theoretically, get the flu again. And, next year, there will be new strains of the flu circulating so you will need a vaccine to protect you against those. You are unlikely to have much natural immunity.
I read online that the flu is now officially an epidemic. That sounds bad. What does it mean? – Marnie, Saskatoon
The term "epidemic" conjures up visions of horror and mass destruction. But here's the official CDC definition: "The occurrence of more cases of disease than expected in a given area or among a specific group of people over a particular period of time." The flu, for example, is considered to have reached epidemic levels when it accounts for more than 7.7 per cent of deaths in a given week. That threshold was crossed Friday in the U.S. At the same time, data suggests that the spread of the flu has peaked and it is beginning to wane.
Is the flu and its impact actually getting worse, or is there just a greater amount of media coverage this year? – Laura, Scarborough, Ont.
Though terms like "Flumaggedon" are being tossed around and we are officially in an epidemic now, the reality is that this is a moderate flu season so far. There is no perfect tool for measuring the severity of a flu season but the best measure comes from the CDC, which tracks what percentage of people who see a healthcare provider do so because of an influenza-like illness (ILI). Over the past four weeks, that number has risen to 5.6 per cent from 2.8 per cent. Last year – a mild flu season – that figure peaked at 2.2 per cent. During the 2009 H1N1 pandemic, the ILI hit 7.7 per cent. And back in 2004, the last time there was a severe flu season, the ILI peaked at 7.6 per cent.
In Canada, we simply don't do a very good job of tracking the flu with hard numbers but, anecdotally, the consensus seems to be this is the worst 'normal' winter in memory (the 2009 pandemic being an exceptional circumstance) in hospitals. But this is due not to influenza alone, but to the simultaneous and early outbreaks of flu, norovirus and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) in children. So, to answer your question: Yes, the flu is getting a disproportionate amount of media attention this year, particularly with the echo chamber effect created by increasingly popular social media. But, overall, the impact of respiratory viruses is probably not getting adequate coverage.
Is there anything that can be done to shorten the flu's duration? – Paul Tate, Milton, Ont.

How to Do Hairstyles for 12 Year Olds
Six Methods:Hair PoofMessy BunBraidPigtailsHalf Up, Half DownFlipped pony
This is an article for 12-year-old girls who want to do different hairstyles with their hair.
Method 1 of 6: Hair Poof
1You can straighten, curl, or do whatever style you want to your hair before doing this style. Just don't do anything to your bangs. If you don't want to do anything to your hair, go to the next step.
2Gather your bangs. Hold them straight up. You may tease them for extra volume, but this is optional. Then, twist them a couple of times. After that, push them inwards. Then, clip down the part where it twists. If you want, spray with a volume hairspray to add even more volume.
Method 2 of 6: Messy Bun
Method 3 of 6: Braid
Method 4 of 6: Pigtails
Method 5 of 6: Half Up, Half Down
1This style looks super cute with it curled or wavy. But you can leave your hair however it is if you want.
2Take a section from the back of your hair and tease it. Do this with a few more sections from the back only, but not too many. Three is enough.
3Put your teased hair back and slightly brush it.
4Gather all the sections of your teased hair and twist them and push upwards. Put two bobby pins (make them criss-crossed) in the twisted part. Add a cute hair accessory to hide the bobby pins if you want.
Method 6 of 6: Flipped pony
1Tie a ponytail.
2Loosen the tie so its away from the head a little bit.
3In the space between the head and tie, separate in the middle to make a hole.
4Hold the hole open and pull the pony through.
5You can customize this however you'd like to. You can curl the hair, straighten it, make it a high or a side pony, do two, etc.Ad

Vicky...how could you?
What the hell? Danny thought, calling her. "You can't text message breakup."
"Okay, then let me say it right now. Danny, we're done. Over. There's someone else."
"But—you said you—loved me."
"Yeah? I lied. I was probably drunk."
A deep male voice mumbled something in the background. "Oh, okay," she said distantly. Then her voice got close again. "Goodbye, Danny. Have a nice life."
When Danny found his head again, he was in bed, fist bleeding from where he punched a wall, his eyes stinging.

Remember Eyjafjallajökull? The Icelandic volcano that was hilariously mispronounced by every non-Icelandic news reporter then pretty much avoided altogether and referred to as "the recent Iceland volcano eruption"? On a more serious note, do you remember, if perhaps you were unfortunately traveling at the time, the cancellation of hundreds of flights in various parts of Europe and other places which resulted in the airlines being financially hammered to death?
It most likely could happen again on a bigger scale with bigger consequences. Except, Eyjafjallajökull isn't going to erupt this time, the much more easily pronounceable and bigger Katla volcano could be.
When Eyjafjallajökull erupted last year, many were worried that Eyjafjallajökull's eruption could trigger either the biggest Icelandic volcano (Katla) or the stratovolcano Hekla to erupt. That year, neither erupted.
However as 2010 turned into 2011, many monitoring the Katla volcano worried that, due to the historical tendency of Katla volcano erupting following a Eyjafjallajökull eruption and the fact it historically occurred almost every 50 years, the question of the biggest volcano in Iceland erupting is a matter of "when" and not "if".
Recently, there has been an increase in the strength of the earthquakes occurring underneath Katla, the strongest being a 4.1 on the Richter scale last week.
Though the seismic data and other observations give no indication of an exact date or time of an eruption, scientists say that there is no need for alarm while also saying in the same breath that the situation could change "abruptly".
Other scientists are arguing that Katla's behavior is unpredictable and erratic, which makes it difficult to ascertain if the eruptions could be big, small or if the quakes underneath are just another phenomena.
The last major Katla eruption occurred in the year 1918. The eruption lasted over a month as plumes of ash actually blocked out the sun in the most affected areas, introducing harsher winters and effectively killing off crops and subsequently livestock.
Major floods also occurred as Katla resides underneath the Mýrdalsjökull glacier.
If Katla is to erupt again in a similar manner, the eruption could lead to mass flooding and yet another disruption of air travels.

Stryker Receives Top Supplier Awards From Novation Reprocessing Services Recognized for Delivering Significant, Measurable Value
PHOENIX, May 14, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Stryker's Sustainability Solutions division announced today it has received two prestigious awards from the group purchasing organization Novation for supplier excellence. Novation named Stryker's reprocessing division Purchased Services Supplier of the Year and presented it with top honors in the category of Environmental Excellence. Stryker provided single-use medical device reprocessing and remanufacturing services to over 680 members served by Novation in 2012, helping them realize a total of $75 million in supply cost savings and divert over 2.3 million pounds of medical waste from landfills.

"At Novation, we partner with suppliers that embrace our purchasing philosophy of ensuring patient safety, environmental responsibility and cost-effectiveness to deliver total value to the members we serve," said David Gillan, Vice President of Sourcing Operations, Custom Contracting for Novation. "Our annual Supplier Summit allows us the opportunity to give special recognition to suppliers that offer the most value in these areas. Stryker's reprocessing programs deliver significant, measurable results to hospital members, helping us create a more sustainable model for healthcare delivery."
The members served by Novation (including members of VHA Inc., UHC, Children's Hospital Association and Provista) purchase a wide variety of reprocessed single-use medical devices from Stryker, including compression sleeves, EP catheters and laparoscopic devices. Reprocessing programs allow hospitals to reallocate their scarce resources to enhancing patient care through investments such as hiring more nurses or the purchase of much needed equipment.
"Our business is to enable hospitals and surgery centers to use their resources in a smarter way through next generation sustainable device solutions," said Kevin Liszewski, Vice President of Marketing and Corporate Accounts for Stryker Sustainability Solutions. "As Novation's nationally awarded full-service supplier for reprocessing services, we share and contribute to the financial and environmental goals of over 680 Novation-served alliance members every day. It's an honor to be recognized for the value we deliver through our strong partnership."
Novation is not alone in realizing the impact reprocessing can have on developing a more sustainable future for healthcare. Today, reprocessing programs are in use at the majority of U.S. News & World Report "Honor Roll" hospitals.

this IS spring
(just in time for summer)
yes please
shirt by gitman, jacket by gant rugger, jeans by j brand (you can get better jeans for less), sweatshirt by paul smith jeans (ditto), boat shoes by yuketen — all via park & bond
I strive to look like this as often as possible
(edwardshair via beforecommon)
a treasury of…
pointer brand coat, j. crew shirt, imogene + willie jeans
unabashedly prep
gant rugger
i think i need these faded jeans by rag & bone but, if anything, i will end up with these levis
perfectly simple outfit for those cooler spring days
tommy ton
why this works: the slimmer pants balance out the boxy shirt jacket (although keep in mind there's no way to make clothes that just plain don't fit look good.) as discussed previously, the earthy brown shoes and bag (and hardbound book) warm up the cool blues and blacks of the rest of the outfit, and the colorful plaid peeking out hints its wearer isn't always as serious as he looks.

Adaköy Peninsula Cruise from Marmaris Including Dalyan River Cruise, Turtle Bay, and Mud Baths
- Location: Marmaris, Turkey
- Duration: 10 hours (approx.)
- Full-day cruise to Dalyan from Marmaris including lunch
- Enjoy two swimming breaks and a delicious onboard lunch while cruising
- Visit a secluded bay and phosphorus caves on Adaköy peninsula
- Stop at İztuzu Beach and look out for loggerhead turtles while swimming and sunbathing
- Take a riverboat cruise along the Dalyan River to the local mud baths and thermal pool
- See the Lycian King's Tombs at Kaunos and learn about their history from a guide
What You Can Expect
Your first stop is at a secluded beach on the peninsula's north coast, known locally as 'aquarium bay.' Use your time to swim in the clear waters with the colorful fish, or simply sunbathe on the beach. A set of phosphorus caves are nearby that you can explore easily, if you wish.
From Marmaris, continue cruising around Adaköy, and then head east toward Dalyan, the gorgeous coastal village west of Fethiye. Savor a lunch of grilled chicken, salad and either rice or pasta as you cruise, and then dock at İztuzu Beach for your next break. Known to many as 'turtle beach' for its large population of loggerhead turtles, the sun-drenched sandy beach is a conservation area and prime breeding ground for the endangered reptiles.
Take some time to swim, sunbathe and look out for friendly turtles along the beach, and then hop aboard your riverboat for a cruise along the Dalyan River. Stop at the local mud baths and thermal pool, and make the most of some free time to wallow in the mineral-dense mud that's said to aid skin complaints and rheumatism. Cleanse yourself with a refreshing dip in the natural thermal water, and then cruise past the ancient King's Tombs at Kaunos while learning about their history from your guide.
Swap back onto your main boat at İztuzu Beach, and finally cruise back around Adaköy to Marmaris. After stepping onto dry land, your day trip finishes with a hotel drop-off.

On my very first trip with my brand new double deck, the rubber sheared off the bearing. I would have thought it would be more durable. Anyway, I'd love to find out where I can get a replacement wheel. I live in New Zealand. Please help!

Bearings are not made out of rubber so I am a bit confused. Did you mean the wheal was cut up? Either way, all burton luggage wheels are skate wheels. You can get a new wheel and bearing at your local skate shop. Where in New Zealand do you live?
Perfect bag
Member since
Great luggage. I own four from the previous version and this one is basically the same, just a slight change in the outside appearance. Durable and the perfect size to meet the international 50-pounds luggage weight limit. The more colorful the easier you find it!

Though the Oles will make a second consecutive trip to Arden Hills Thursday afternoon, they were happy to leave Wednesday after finally defeating the Royals for a 4-3 win. Catcher Pat Wadzinski '09's clutch, two-out single in the top of the 13th knocked in Tyler Johnson '09 for the go-ahead run. Despite putting two runners on via hit-batsmen, St. Olaf's second reliever, Brandon Agneberg '11, managed to work out of the jam and pick up his second win.
The teams were evenly matched throughout the four-hour contest, each finishing with 13 hits and trading scoring opportunities after the game was deadlocked at 3-3 in the sixth inning. Each defense was tested, as the offenses consistently put the ball in play throughout the long ordeal. St. Olaf was led on offense by Tyler Jones '10, who had three hits and two stolen bases. Leadoff man Josh Maus '08, Sam Baltes '10 and Johnson each had two hits. Johnson's late double put him in position for Wadzinski's game-winning hit off Bethel reliever Kyle McCracken, who pitched seven innings in extended duty. Todd Mathison '09 pitched seven innings for the Oles in what would ordinarily be a complete game effort. Alex Beckman '09 tossed three scoreless innings before giving way to Agneberg after a leadoff Bethel double in the 11th.
The game's length pushed the supposed nightcap to Thursday afternoon.
It only adds another game to the next month, which already features a packed schedule after a series of weather-postponed games. Last weekend, the Oles were scheduled to play Gustavus at home Saturday, Sunday and finally Monday as the games was pushed back each successive day. The Bethel games were originally scheduled for Tuesday until extended cold moved them to Wednesday. Monday and Tuesday were particularly frustrating, as St. Olaf's Mark Almli Field was in sufficient playing shape, but the chilling wind prevented the metal bat-armed teams from taking the field.
A home doubleheader against St. Scholastica was also postponed indefinitely, as was a doubleheader at Concordia-Moorhead from the previous week. Clearly, the Oles have some makeup work to do. Fortunately, most other MIAC teams are in the same boat, and with their deep pitching staff, Coach Matt McDonald '87's squad may have an advantage.
Going into the Bethel game, they boasted the MIAC's top E.R.A.
However, the adverse weather will change the season's dynamics, as McDonald acknowledged. "When things get bunched up, it's kind of a crapshoot," he said. "You don't know how pitching matchups are going to be."
St. Olaf hosts its first home doubleheader of the season Saturday against Augsburg College in games beginning at 1 p.m.

Rosemary pairs well with fish, but too much can cancel out all of the other flavors. If you do have excess fresh rosemary, don't add it to the recipe (even an extra teaspoon will be too much). Instead, garnish the serving platter or save it for another use.
1) Combine all the ingredients except the fish in a bowl.
2) Wash the fish, pat dry, then put it in the marinade. Turn it once or twice so that all sides come in contact with the liquid. If you have time and the fillet is thick, let the fish sit in the marinade for up to 30 minutes.
3) Preheat the oven to 350°F.
4) Place the fish in a baking dish. Pour the marinade over the fish until the liquid comes about halfway up the sides of the fillet.
5) Bake until done. Many fillets take only 7 minutes to cook, although a thick piece of haddock might require 15 minutes.

Unlike other platforms, Android devices often times give you the freedom of installing other operating systems. The Linux kernel is the source of this great freedom, so it's not uncommon to see projects like webOS, LuneOS or Ubuntu Touch ported to Android devices without bigger problems.
The last of the aforementioned OSes is definitely not least. Ubuntu Touch has a growing and thriving user base. It's relatively popular, which can be illustrated by the number of official and unofficial ports for multiple devices. If you have it installed on your device and want browse the XDA with your Ubuntu-powered phone, XDA Recognized Contributor nikwen gives you a great opportunity to do it without using your browser, just like on Android, iOS or Windows Phone. Forum Browser is a modified application originally created by Michael Hall, known as XDA Forum Member mhall119, who gave us a few instructions on Ubuntu Touch development at XDA:DevCon 2013.
In the current form, the application allows you to perform the following tasks:
Forum Browser can be used to participate in other forums, just like Tapatalk or Forum Runner. In fact, it uses the Tapatalk API, just like the official XDA Application. If you want to make this project even better and add your contribution to the growing Ubuntu Touch community, you can add your commits to the project, since it's fully open-sourced.
If you decided to leave Android and give Ubuntu Touch a try, you can browse the XDA forums with Forum Browser. Learn more about how to get it by visiting the Forum Browser application thread.

Ubuntu, founded in 2004, has a long heritage as the most popular Linux desktop and cloud platform in the world, but in early 2013 they announced their foray into the mobile platform, followed quickly by their announcement of Ubuntu Touch. While it's been a long road, Ubuntu has committed themselves to delivering on this platform with the plan to create a single, convergent Operating System that works across phones, tablets, TVs, and desktops. We were excited to have them sponsor xda:devcon '13, and are ecstatic to have them back for xda:devcon '14.
Ubuntu will be leading a few sessions on Ubuntu Touch as well as a workshop devoted to developing apps for Ubuntu Touch. When asked about their interest in continuing to support XDA and xda:devcon, Ubuntu's Community Manager Daniel Holbach had this to say:
Ever since Ubuntu for devices was first announced, we were thrilled from all the feedback, great ideas, patches and ports we received from XDA community members. XDA's community is a vibrant place, and we're really proud of the great relationship we've grown together. Sponsoring xda:devcon was an obvious thing to do for us, and we are delighted to be supporting such a great event.
We are excited to have them back and look forward to hearing what they have to say, with their session information soon to follow. If you don't already have your tickets, make sure you head to xda:devcon '14 and get your tickets now before they're all gone.

If you've been wanting to try out Ubuntu on your mobile device but found yourself reluctant to switch to an entirely new ROM, Canonical has a special treat for you. Earlier today, they announced the developer preview of their new dual boot solution, which lets you seamlessly switch between Ubuntu and Android in just a few clicks.
Unlike previous solutions that allowed users to switch between Android and Ubuntu, Canonical's new dual boot solution allows users to switch between the two OSes with nothing more than an application. Moreover, the new system is incredibly simple to set up, as installation happens nearly automatically through the Android client app. And if you wish to return to Android, you use the ubuntudualboot app on the Ubuntu side to reboot back into Android.
Not much is needed to get started. You need to be running Android 4.2 or higher on an AOSP-derived ROM, 2.7 GB of free space, ADB on your desktop and your phone's bootloader must be unlocked. Currently, this has only been tested by Canonical on the Google Nexus 4, but they state that other Nexus devices should work as well. One small thing to keep in mind is that installing this dual boot solution will overwrite your recovery partition. So if you end up giving this a shot, make sure you are comfortable with the fastboot flash command in order to get your recovery back.
Those looking to get started should head over to the source link below. Are you going to give dual boot a try, or do you only care about Android? Let us know in the comments below.

There was much hype around the unveiling of Ubuntu Touch, Canonical's take on a smartphone OS. People who had been getting a bit bored with Android or were looking for a smartphone experience similar to desktop Ubuntu had their eyes on Ubuntu Edge, an exciting yet highly ambitious crowd-sourced project. Following its unfortunate failure, Canonical decided to soldier on, inking their first deal with a partner to ship smartphones with Ubuntu Touch.
As Canonical founder and product strategy leader Mark Shuttleworth revealed in an interview:
"We have concluded our first set of agreements to ship Ubuntu on mobile phones. We've shifted gears from 'making a concept' to 'it's going to ship.' That has a big impact on the team."
No specifics have been given in regards to who the partner is, but Shuttleworth has been dropping hints, with the breadcrumbs leading towards a companywe will all be pretty familiar with:
"We are now pretty much at the board level on four household brands. They sell a lot of phones all over the world, in emerging and fully emerged markets, to businesses and consumers."
One daunting question that'll be looming on everyone's minds is how Canonical will break into the market and successfully grab and hold people's attentions. One way they could do this is follow in the footsteps of Jolla Sailfish and Blackberry OS—that is, adding Android app compatibility. This way, Ubuntu Touch will be able to latch onto the success of Android until they've gotten enough attention or are shaken off by Android. Shuttleworth sees this as a possibility, citing Android's fragmentation and the closeness between Android and Ubuntu OS. However, there's no guarantee that this is the case though:
"We make no claims for Android compatibility, but we make it super easy for you to target both [Android and Ubuntu Touch] at the same time and super cool for you to do so."
Who is looking forward to holding an Ubuntu Touch smartphone in the future? And any guesses on which company Canonical has partnered with to make this a possibility? Share your thoughts with us below!

Back at XDA:DevCon 2013, Ubuntu community manager Jono Bacon gave a talk about the future of Ubuntu on mobile devices. Also at the conference, Ubuntu coder Michael Hall held a Ubuntu Touch Development Workshop aimed at spurring and fostering application development for the soon-to-be-ready platform. Both of these presentations can now be viewed online. Fast forward a few months, and Ubuntu for phones is now available for its first two devices.
Coinciding with the desktop Ubuntu 13.10 release, Ubuntu for phones is now officially available for installation on the Google Nexus 4 and Samsung Galaxy Nexus. The release bills itself as being feature complete, with quite a few bells and whistles available including gesture control for multitasking and regularly used apps, click packages, cloud photo storage, easy access to search from anywhere, extensive personalization possibilities, and a set of APIs with which to build new applications. And because all of the included core applications run natively rather than through an interpreter, Ubuntu promises high levels of performance.
While today's release is a very big step forward, not everything is fully baked just yet. Only two devices are currently supported. And even for those devices, the experience isn't quite perfect. For starters airplane mode and a lock screen have not yet been added. And remember the promise of convergent computing where a smartphone can function as a complete PC, as long as it meets the minimum requirements? Well, that's not yet available. Despite the limitations, today's release is quite exciting. It's always nice to see other software options available for the devices that some of us already own.
Head over to the Ubuntu for Phones splash page and follow the relatively simple instructions. More information about the specific capabilities and limitations in today's release can be found here. Finally, those looking into community-based progress on Ubuntu for Phones for other devices should head over to the Ubuntu Touch Wiki.

Last week, XDA Developer TV Producer Jordan showed us how to work with developing an app in the upcoming Ubuntu Touch OS. Of course, developing an App for a device or operating system is always easier if you have a device to test it on. Luckily, Google released a new version of the Nexus 7, and the market is full of old Nexus 7s you can pick up for cheap.
In this video, Jordan shows you how to install Ubuntu Touch on an original Nexus 7 (2012) device. This will allow you to try Ubuntu Touch out as an operating system or even push apps to for testing your development. So if you have an old Nexus 7 (2012) or you want to try Ubuntu Touch, check this video out!

In the past, XDA Developer TV has made videos showing you how to build an Android App. We even made videos showing you how to build a Windows Phone app, back when Windows Phone was new and had a chance. At our first Developer conference Ubuntu Staff Member Michael Hall gave a presentation on Ubuntu Touch.
On October 17th, Ubuntu Touch will reach version 1.0. This is a big deal. Given the interest in the new mobile operating system XDA Developer TV Producer Jordan has started a series showing you how to build an Ubuntu Touch app. Jordan has already created a video on how to set up the Ubuntu SDK on your computer, but today he shows you how to start working with an application for Ubuntu Touch. Check out this video.

Continuing our little jaunt in the presentations we recorded and uploaded for your enjoyment from XDA:DevCon 2013, we present some great footage covering presentations from Ubuntu. As we all know, Ubuntu has been working hard to get Ubuntu on to mobile devices. They even had a failed Indiegogo campaign to make a device. The Indiegogo campaign is referenced in the video because this was recorded while the campaign was still ongoing.
The first presentation was from Ubuntu's own Community Manager Jono Bacon. As the Ubuntu Community Manager, Jono is leading a team that grows, inspires, and enthuses the global Ubuntu community—a community numbering the hundreds of thousands. In his presentation "Building a Convergent Future With Ubuntu," Jono talks about what Canonical and Ubuntu's vision is for the future of computing. By having Ubuntu on your phone, tablet, and computer; they strive to have you be able to be productive no matter where you are. Start a document on one device and pick up the completion on another. Ubuntu isn't afraid of the obstacles against them. When asked "Why would you go up against Android," they often reply, "Think about the mobile device landscape over 5 years ago, Blackberry was huge and Android was just starting." To hear more about Ubuntu's vision for the future, check out the video.
Ubuntu realizes that even with the most fine-tuned mobile operating system with many great features and facets, your ecosystems needs apps. So to help grow the app selection, Ubuntu employee and coding addict Michael Hall presented the "Ubuntu Touch Development Workshop." Michael is an open source software developer, community manager, and technology evangelist. He has extensive experience in developing desktop and web-based software in a large variety of languages and frameworks, and contributes to a number of open source projects and communities. He is ideally suited to talk about the features and benefits of Ubuntu Touch. Additionally, he creates an app for Ubuntu Touch and demonstrates how anyone can create an app themselves, or add-on to his app in the spirit of open source.
If you want to see more or get a copy of the presentations slides, visit the XDA:DevCon Presentations page.

We've talked a little bit about Ubuntu Touch in the past. If you've got the operating system loaded onto your device, you may wish to check out the unofficial XDA-Developers app created by Michael Hall over at Canonical, who gave a talk during XDA:DevCon 2013.
The application, which is available from the Dash, is available to anyone running the latest version of Ubuntu Touch. Currently the application all0ws you to browse the forums in a streamlined manner. More importantly, however, all of the code is available on the project's LaunchPad so you can see how they made the app and build from this in your own app.
If you have a device loaded with Ubuntu Touch, give the unofficial XDA app a shot. While you're at it, visit Michael Hall's Google+ post on the subject as well.

2012 ended with a promise that the next year would bring more joy to our users. Keeping in mind our new year resolution, we begin 2013 with a bang. 2012 saw the Cooliris app soar to unprecedented heights in its short 4 month tenure. In just a few months we gathered the biggest names in social networking under the Cooliris umbrella. Helping our users store and share their photographs with ease, we garnered facebook, flickr, google+, picasa, google drive and China's Renren as our sources. With the click of a button, photographs from all these sources could be shared and stored via the Cooliris app. As 2013 begins, so does our journey. We continue from where we left off and once again for our users, we have managed to add one of the biggest social networking sites as part of our growing family; Twitter.
With over 500 million registered users, generating more than 340 million tweets daily, twitter has been counted as one of the top ten most visited sites on the internet. With photographs, either personal or professional making up a big chunk of the tweets, Cooliris has now made it easier for all twitter users to store and share their photographs all in one place. With the advent of version 2.4 of Cooliris, no photograph will ever be lost in twitterverse again.

Start a SwapLuck to Share the Things You Make and Do
Published on - April 4th, 2009 (by J.D. Roth)
When I wrote about homesteading magazines in February, several people praised Countryside as the best of the bunch. Intrigued, I subscribed. I've received my first issue and I have to say: I'm impressed.
Countryside isn't for everyone. It's very much geared toward those interested in getting "back to the land". When I read the magazine, I couldn't help but think of my father. He loved this sort of thing. But even though I live in suburbia, there was still plenty of interest for me, as well.
Every month, Countryside features an enormous section of reader feedback, for example. People write in to tell their stories and to share tips and tricks about living in the country. It's like a great blog conversation in print. This month, a letter from Khaiti Kahleck of Wisconsin introduced me to the concept of SwapLucks:
I want to share an idea with readers, as we are all facing pretty freaky economic times. I know folks who knit, but don't can food, or make soap or go fishing or have a huge garden, etc. Many of us have skills or abilities to share, so we get together about once a month and have a "Swap-Luck", where we all bring something we've made, grown, grown out of, or a skill to trade with each other. These are so fun!
Our group is slowly growing to include others now too. The last one had a dozen folks with pizza dough, goat milk, habanero peppers, fresh granola, kimchi, wine, soup — there's something for everyone! I'd highly encourage others to try this; it really encourages you to try new things, make creative foods or products, and doesn't involve money. And it builds community as well.
I think it's clever to extend the potluck concept beyond food, but I was unsure how it would work in practice. I wished Khaiti's letter to Countryside contained more information, so I tracked her down and sent her e-mail. "I'm curious about the mechanics of a SwapLuck," I wrote. "How do they work?" Khaiti replied to describe the concept in greater detail:
Our SwapLuck group has over twenty folks who come and go, but started with a handful of friends. Friends tell friends, and so it goes. We get together about every two weeks. Last summer I read this fantastic book called The Revolution Will not be Microwaved, by Sandor Katz. He described these underground groups who get together and trade things that may be your specialty, but the financial overhead and burden to do what you love for a living (and up to code) is nearly impossible. But you love to do it anyhow.
So we got a group of interested folks together and started. In our group we have:
- bread bakers
- kimchi fermenters
- potters
- a seamstress
- gardeners
- backyard egg-producers
- home brewers
- goat milkers
- peanut sauce makers
- different dessert and cookie makers
- a masseuse
- cool junk collectors
There's all kinds of stuff! We all bring as much as we want to trade — no limit or restrictions. And if people like what you make or have brought, they swap with you (as long as you have something they want.) We all have our specialties, and the group is ever-evolving. People try new things all the time. That was part of the incentive, so we'd all be inspired to try making new things, knowing we had a ready audience.
Over the winter, we met at a local bakery/coffee shop. Now that summer is coming, we'll return to meeting at people's homes. It is amazing at how business-like we are about it. Sometimes it's like a party afterwards, but the swapping comes first. At each swap we always decide as a group when and where the next is. That way the communication doesn't have to be on one person's shoulders. We are mostly all on Facebook, so if someone misses one, it is easy to find out where the next one is.
Our typical swap would be at 5:30pm. We wait til 6pm, then one-by-one we go around and describe what we have brought. Then after everyone has their time, swapping begins. It is first-come first-serve, but second swaps are not unheard of! By 7pm we are usually done swapping. The one rule is "pre"-swapping is not allowed — like you see something good, you can't interrupt and say "I want that and I have this to swap!" That is our only basic etiquette rule. Swaps on "futures" happen all the time. Maybe you only have one batch of cookies, say, but you could promise a fresh batch to trade. This is all based on trust, and we have found it has built an incredible community as well.
I'd say the hardest thing to swap is services — and I am not sure how many of them have been swapped. The people offering services put it out there, but I am not sure if much has happened outside of the swap.
Have you ever done anything like this? If so, how did it work? More to the point, would you ever do anything like this? As I said, I love the idea. I'd love to participate in something similar here in Portland. I could swap writing services or blog consulting! (Those are sure to be in high demand, right?)
On a semi-related note, check out this article from Yahoo! Green about how swapping is shopping for the new economy. That's overstating things, of course, but I've heard of a lot more people swapping lately.
This article is about DIY, Frugality, Relationships
Neat concept!!! Thanks for sharing!!
Sounds similar to bartering, which I love to do. I would be interested if I knew of a group like this. I think it's an excellent idea.
Getting rich is about using your time effectively, among other things. That is why hobbyist bartering or self-sufficient gardening will not make you rich, not even slowly.
However, people starting to get out of debt might benefit – if nothing else, compulsive spending isn't possible during no-money-activities.
And, this kind of things can help (re)discover the joy and meaning of life regardless of money. Essentially: get happy, not rich.
What an excellent idea. This takes yard sales to a new level. Sort of MeetUp.com meets FreeCycling.com.
I see how something like this could be fun to do, but mostly for the social interaction. If I wanted almost anything on that list, we have a farmer's market here in town every thursday afternoon where I could get it.
The cash I'd spend on fresh baked bread at the farmer's market really isn't very much, and I'd earn it a lot faster by just doing my regular job as a software engineer than I would by taking up beer brewing (for example) as a hobby.
If I already brewed beer for the fun of it, and had tons of extra beer sitting around, then I could see this being a good way to get rid of it. Getting into any hobby like this to save money is a lot less efficient than just doing a few hours of freelance work, or taking on a second part-time job. After all, I'd still have to pay for the beer-making supplies.
Sure, you could trade for the beer-making supplies, too, but the more people you interact with, the harder it is to arrange the trades for physical goods, so pretty soon you get to the point that other early economies did where you need a currency to represent goods and services. We've already got a perfectly decent currency to use, and it's got a lot more goods and services available with it than I do with a local barter system.
I think it's cool that this works for Khaiti's group. I wonder how it would scale up for mine. Where I live in the Boston area, we pretty regularly have:
Soup Swaps
Recipe Swaps (like a soup swap, but for any vegetarian entree)
Clothing Swaps
Toy Swaps
…as well as several e-mail lists where people can do ongoing trades of stuff they no longer need (Freecycle, Boston Reuse, etc.)
What all those events have in common is that there's some constraint on what gets swapped. I'm curious enough about doing a Makers Swap of handmade items that I'll probably try it, but the breadth of available stuff makes me think it could be hard to organize.
Swaps are a huge part of my personal economy. I get paid in barter for much of my daily work as a homeschool coop teacher. We have a stash of frozen food our friends and neighbors have swapped with us that we can pull out on nights when we don't feel like cooking, which replaces the need for take-out dinners. Likewise, I rarely buy clothes, even at thrift stores, because I can swap for just about everything my family needs.
Swaps don't have to be an inefficient use of time. It's just easy to make six quarts of soup as it is to make one, and simple enough to take a bag of clothes to a friend's house to swap for new stuff.
Great post!
Countryside (which I also get, oddly enough) and ideas like a "Swap-Luck" are a great example of the fight against lifestyle inflation.
The point is to spend less money and get more pleasure from your expenditures (and life!).
I guess the question as to whether or not this kind of thing can make you rich depends a lot on how you define rich. If you only define it in terms of dollars, then this probably isn't going to help you much. But if you define rich in terms if things like belonging to a community and the gratification that one gets when making things oneself, then this is an excellent idea. It seems like some of the previous comments are focused on the money definition. I use swapping/bartering quite a bit in my life, and it turns out that it can also have a pretty good financial outcome.
I think it's important to remember the value that can come from the sense of community that results from this alternative economic system. And remember, too: not everyone makes as much as a software engineer. I have a good friend who has built a business from word of mouth advertising. All of her clients began in bartering deals. When the demand for her services outstripped what they had to offer, they began to pay cash as well (she still swaps when she can). When bartering/swapping, the "items" traded are just another form of currency, only their "cash value" is more easily negotiable.
I have never done anything like that, but I would!
I can knit, and tutor French. However, doing it for the money can be tricky. Knitting takes a lot of time, and the price people offer to pay would translate to a few cents per hour of work. Tutoring and translating are usually in demand, but you'd be surprised how many people get shocked or upset when they realise you're expecting to be paid for your work.
Exchanging knowledge for knowledge would be, I think, the best trade. It's giving something without losing it. Then you have trading goods, which is good as well since I do like to knit, but there are many things I can't do… sew, for instance.
This being said, I'd rather teach a friend to knit and have them teach me to sew than trade our final products with each other. But with some things, you might not have the time or equipment, so it's definitely a good idea.
If we look at it as a way of sharing, it's marvelous.
If you are making these things anyway, because you love it, and wish to see them in a good home, how wonderful. We can knit or brew or bake as much as we want, and get things we cannot do in exchange.
Hmmm, seems interesting.
I can immediately see that in most cases, it's not really about the money.
For someone who has makes item X and has more than they need, it is about saving time and reducing some expenses.
For someone who has makes item X and has more than they need but is otherwise unemployed or in reduced circumstances, this can be a life saver.
Nothing here will make you rich financially, but it will make one feel further from the edge, reduce anxiety, open new avenues of experience ("I never tried X, but since so-and-so has it, I think I'll try it…"). And the social and societal aspects are tremendous.
I wonder how 'value' is determined? Is one jar of kimchi worth one or two jars of peanut sauce? Is one massage worth four or two gallons of milk? If one person makes, say, kimchi and sells it sometimes, they have a conception of value; whereas if the peanut sauce maker never sold it, how do they determine what is "fair" value?
I know a group of young people (college kids through 30-somethings) who do this about once a week. It's actually a group that gathers for dinner, a very laid back Bible-study sort of thing, and yoga, but they've included a swap as part of it – everyone brings stuff they no longer want and puts it on a table. Anyone can glance through the stuff throughout the evening, and at the end of the night, when people leave they take what they want with them. It's not technically a swap, though – its more like giving stuff away. If no one takes what you have brought, you have to take it back home with you (so that the hosts don't end up with a bunch of extra stuff they can't use). It's not a one-for-one trade, more of a "this is stuff I'm willing to give up, and if I see something I want then I'll take it." I've only been once, and didn't participate in the swap. But someone brought an old version of Guitar Hero they no longer use, and one of the couples who have children picked it up for their kids. How cool is that?
JD – Have you heard of Brightneighbor.com? It's Portland based, and does something similar online. You list what you want and what you can offer, and people can look and contact you to make the swap. Obviously the face-to-face contact is a wonderful addition, but this is a great place to start, especially if not everyone can meet up on the same night.
OK, I've been intending to email you about this for a while, JD. This is an ideal segue!
I am a member of a co-op here in Portland called the Sunnyside Swap Shop and Indoor Playspace. It's an indoor playground for parents and their children to gather and play, but it is also a swap shop at heart. Members can bring in clothing, books, and toys that their children have outgrown and swap for new items. It is the ultimate form of recycling! The founder was inspired to start the co-op when she realized that all the parents she knew were spending lots of time alone with their kids and surrounded by an identical set of stuff. She thought, "why not reverse the situation and create a place where parents can connect with one another as a community and SHARE all that stuff?" I have been a member for over a year now and I just love it. It really cuts down on the cost of kid's clothing to have a huge bin of quality swapped clothes right there. Also, we frequently swap toys so my daughter gets new and exciting things without the combined burden of cost and clutter at home. The Swap Shop has lots of meet-ups like a baby music hour and and family music night, where local musicians play live music on Saturday nights for our member families (no charge!) with the understanding that kids (and their noise) will be in the audience. A member recently opened up another Swap Shop in St. Johns (Swap-n-Play).
Our members form a wonderful community. Anyone who is interested can visit the Sunnyside Swap Shop website at http://www.sunnysideswapshop.org/wp/ The St. John's Swap-n-Play website is http://swapnplay.wordpress.com/.
I love the idea of specific skill-swapping! We might have to incorporate that….
Will Wright > Oh, I almost forgot, we have a French similar one!
When you have something to offer, you put it for grabs, and you link to your profile. You profile lists things that you are looking for or could be interested in.
A friend works at a museum and can get free tickets every month. She trades them every time.
Many people on that website ask for food (1kg of rice for instance) because they're students and broke.
In exchange for free tickets to the museum where she works, my friend has had earrings, a food bowl for her rabbit, I think a book and some other such things. It doesn't cost her a thing and she gets something in exchange, it's definitely a nice way to do it. And in her case, since she trades the same thing every month, a small face-to-face group probably wouldn't cut it.
Interesting concept! Would provide a benefit beyond the actual swap– a social event!
DH and I do something similar, though much more informally. We trade time and such with some friends. For example I cook for a friend of his who is divorced and he comes over and helps DH with larger jobs that take more than one person. In fact DH has a number of single friends I can trade food for time.
So much of it is about changing your frame of mind. DH always considers what we do for others as being neighborly, but what others do for us as favors. But you can trade time and expertise and both be better off. As others have said it won't make you rich, but very few things will in and of themselves. Thrift is a state of mind, and be it cooking at home, buying second hand, or doing a SwapLuck, it is a method of consumption that focuses on saving money.
This is a great money saver because so much of starting a frugal habit is the start-up costs. (For example, if I hadn't inherited canning supplies from my mom, I'd be reluctant to shell out for all new stuff.) If everyone bears the cost of the supplies for one process, you're really saving a ton.
Up here in Canada, this would be considered a barter group and the government likes to get their taxes on the exchanges even if no money changes hands. Unless you want to take your chances at doing this underground, you can join a barter exchange group in your area (check the phone listings). They usually allow one person for each specialty in each group (ie. one florist, one real estate agent, one seamstress, one bookkeeper, one handyman, etc.) and then they have a form where you log your trades by 'selling' your product/service for the same number of 'barter' dollars that it would sell for in real dollars to anyone else and then you build up an account of barter dollars to 'buy' products/services from other members with. The organization then takes care of calculating the taxes owed and you get a monthly bill for the taxes you owe on your trades, but you didn't have to pay for the stuff/services you got so you still save a pile of money!
FWIW – Bartering is taxable in the United States, too. IRS link:
I love the concept and I am going to try to do something like this with my buying club, and neighbors. I think our summer block party would be a perfect time to do this. In the mean time, my friends and I have started a database of skills that we have to share on our Yahoo buying club group, in SE.
@JD: She didn't mention how they determine order of trade? do they go one by one, or is it then a free for all (ala PIT)?
In addition: Please remember that these are things you have to pay taxes on. Services/goods/whatever. If you didn't make it yourself, it counts as something you "paid" for, and thus must pay taxes on (local codes may differ)… Just like you pay local sales tax on items you buy online, right? RIGHT?
I've attempted to be a part of 2 barter groups in my county, and neither of them was successful for me. I don't know if it's because I offer mostly services, or if it's because the groups both focused on value equivalency (in other words, you tried to barter based on the monetary value.) That's not for me. I barter more based on who-needs-what. A loaf of bread might be really valuable to an unemployed photographer, for instance, so maybe I'd photograph a house or a wedding in exchange for a few loaves of bread.
Apparently, my neighbors were just really fixated on monetary value equivalency. I gave up, but I'm always willing to barter with people.
Jen M.
We are going to try this on May 16th in SE Portland. From 9:00 AM until 5:00 PM We are inviting people to bring whatever they have to trade for other goods or services.
SE 97th and Boise st.
great to see all the feedback and stirring this has caused JD! I hope others all work this out to their own advatcage. It is certainly NOT a way to get rich, moneywise, it is a concept to en-RICH your life, as well as provide you with some inspiration/incentive to make those things you are good at! And it IS social as well, nothing wrong with that. Sounds like for the folks who have tried this before and got stuck with a bunch of money-fixated folks, try again with more likeminded people and be open and honest about what you want in a group as it get started. Open communication is pretty important, as is flexibility.
Someone asked about the order of presenting: when we each present, it goes around the table or circle, one by one, then after all are done show and telling, it is a free for all. Usually really civilized, but fairly rowdy. There is a politeness, but a get down to business way about our group. Good luck everybody!

When cutting onions, a chemical called 'Suberin' is released. This irritates the eyes and causes watering. This chemical is sensitive to heat. Therefore if you cut onions near your stove, the irritation will be less.
