It's not every day that writing about music apps means discussing a $2.6 billion initial public offering.
Pandora's IPO valued the company, whose customizable streaming radio service is used by approximately one out of every ten Americans, at $2.6 billion dollars, or $16 per share under the symbol "P." As the chart above shows (via Google, which has updated numbers), trading spiked sharply when the market opened, and the company's value increased upwards of 40 percent in less than an hour.
TechCrunch and others report that Pandora has 94 million users, but Evolver.fm recently learned that only around 30 million of those are active users of the service — not bad, considering that it's only available in America, which has a population of about 307 million, many of whom aren't music fans and/or don't have broadband, a cellular data plan, a smartphone, or a Sonos.
Pandora founder Tim Westergren credits much of Pandora's growth to its selection of smartphone apps, which allow listeners to bring the service wherever they go, so long as there's an available cellphone or WiFi connection. By one interpretation of its numbers, however, Pandora doesn't make much money streaming to mobile — "yet," one imagines.
The smartphone's ability to deliver locally (and personally) targeted advertising should provide plenty of ways for Pandora to make all that mobile usage pay as well, which would sure make all of its new investors happy.
As Peter Kafka of All Things Digital pointed out in a headline that would have made heads spin ten years ago, "Pandora is a free music company worth $2.6 billion."
Now it's worth even more. (Track Pandora's stock price on Google.)

Pinball godfather Roger Sharpe plays Paragon while Dan Cashetto repairs Kings of Steel. Nathan Kirkman
In the resurgent world of competitive pinball, brothers Josh and Zach Sharpe are among the elite. Which makes it surprising that neither made the finals in today's Illinois State Pinball Championships, unfolding in a suburban Chicago basement—wall-to-wall carpet, couches, pool table, and the relentless din of 14 pinball machines. Pinball is essentially a bat-and-ball game; it's just played on a course that's like a possessed amusement-park ride. When multiple games are live at once, it's a cacophony of bot voices ("Nobody messes with the USA!" "Jackpooooooot!") and clanging bells. The blinking lights are so emphatic they're almost audible. One of the machines, Attack From Mars, has a warning for epileptics.
The Sharpes are used to the noise. Zach, a compact 32-year-old with lively brown eyes, is number one or two in the International Flipper Pinball Association rankings, depending on the day. He doesn't have anything to prove today. "Some people take losing a lot harder," he says, smiling. He and Josh, 34, have started a sideline battle for third place on Theatre of Magic, one of host Jeff Hooper's tournament machines. They take turns, one playing, the other watching the finals. From a field of 16 contestants, the single-elimination competition is down to the two players who beat the Sharpes: Dave Hegge, a shaggy-haired ex–world champ who looks like he emerged from the AC/DC game, and the eventual winner, Josh "the Kid" Henderson, a flush-cheeked 16-year-old with his own pinball trading card.
Then again, pinball turns all of these guys—and they are mostly guys—into kids. There are aging IT professionals, fortysomething recruiters, hip freelancer types (and even pinball gangs, says Nick Campbell, a 34-year-old software designer with a "Billy Joel" belt buckle who recently started his own posse, called Dead Flip). These are the obsessive heroes in a new pinball revival. Membership in the IFPA, which hosted this and 27 other simultaneous state tournaments in February, now exceeds 23,000—up from just 500 in 2006. In March its sister organization, the Professional and Amateur Pinball Association, hosted a 400-player tournament, the largest in history. It's easier for people to discover pinball these days, thanks to an increase in game production and a resurgence in cities like Portland, Oregon, and New York, where machines pop up not just in bars but also in skateboard stores, laundromats, and doughnut shops.
For many players, pinball's appeal has to do with nostalgia for days spent stretching quarters in college bars or bowling alleys. Others thrive on the competition. Some revel in the electronics or the artwork. Still others—especially teenagers like Henderson who were raised on videogames—are attracted to the tactile physicality. For them pinball is an antidote to the programmed patterns and digitized detachment of screen-based gameplay. "Pinball is in real life. It involves real physics," Henderson says. "It's beyond trying to get the highest score."
That a teen today can wax philosophical about pinball can be attributed in large part to Josh and Zach's father (and fellow competitor), Roger, who is somewhere between the Michael Jordan and Santa Claus of pinball. Roger, 65, is from Chicago, the pinball epicenter—where major manufacturers were based—but he didn't fall for the game until college. At the University of Wisconsin, he watched in awe as a frat brother dominated a game while simultaneously eating a burger and smoking a cigarette; when this prodigy had to go to class, he left his turn to Roger. "Before he made it out the door, the game had ended," Roger jokes. "I vowed that someday I would have that same level of control and mastery."
Nathan Kirkman
Roger moved to New York after college, working in advertising and then journalism. Around 1974, eager to buy a pinball machine, he started researching an article that would turn into a definitive book, Pinball! A couple of years later, he cofounded PAPA—which set the standard for scorekeeping and league and tournament play. Then–managing editor of GQ, Roger Sharpe wore many hats in the world of pinball: He didn't just found PAPA, he also wrote for coin-operated-game trade publications and worked as a freelance game designer. (His likeness was drawn into the artwork of his first game, Sharpshooter, dressed as an Old West gunslinger.) Roger eventually left publishing for pinball full-time, moving back to Chicago in the late '80s to work for industry giant Williams Electronics Games, where he helped license entertainment brands like Elvira and Gilligan's Island for use in game design. But one turn at the flippers made him a legend. It was 1976, and many cities—including New York—had banned pinball, declaring it a game of chance, aka gambling. So in an audacious gamble of his own, Roger played in front of the New York City Council. The councilmembers were so impressed by his skill that they reversed the ban, and ruling bodies around the country soon followed suit. With bans lifted, pinball exploded, until being eclipsed by the arcade videogame era of the '80s. ("There was this great swell and release, a boom and bust," Roger says.) Next came the age of the console and the Internet and then the mobile-gaming craze. Now—thanks to player-collectors and the emergence of "barcades"—pinball is back.
Really, pinball is a game of skill and chance. Players say it's about an 80:20 ratio on newer machines; older ones hew closer to 50:50, because their bumper action is more unpredictable and they have wider-set flippers through which the ball can "drain" out. (Increasingly sophisticated technology has also allowed for more elaborate playfields and "deeper" games in which players work their way through narratives and sequential tasks.) Every playfield contains three potential drains—the flipper gap, or center drain, and the outlanes along each edge—but in between, on the playfield, each game is a self-contained universe with its own topography and laws. A game rewards players who can analyze and exploit its rule set, securing a multiball—an orgy of point scoring that occurs when multiple balls are released simultaneously—or executing a shot sequence with a huge payoff.
Although the rules of a pinball game can be memorized, no two machines play alike. Nowhere is this truer than at tournaments, where games are groomed like Augusta before the Masters: The back legs can be raised, increasing speed, and the tilt sensor—measuring how hard a player can jostle a machine before it "tilts," or ends the turn—can be adjusted. The outlanes can be widened, making the ball likelier to drain. Even the software can be tweaked; if five shots usually earn a multiball, 10 might be required in a tourney. "We do that as a last resort," Josh says, "because when a player walks up to a game, they expect it to behave a certain way."
This collision of predictability and randomness is the essence of pinball's appeal. Videogames have patterns that can be cracked, but every game of pinball is played anew, with real-life variables—a metal ball moving in controlled chaos—that force players to react with a highly calibrated combination of reflex and restraint. Bowen Kerins, IFPA's Massachusetts champion and a math-textbook writer, calls it a cross between golf and bull riding: "The game presents you with all of these choices, and you have to navigate them while figuring out a strategy."
That includes estimating shot angles and passing the ball from one flipper to the other for a better trajectory ("basic geometry," Josh says). Players also revise strategies on the fly: high-risk, high-reward shots in tight matches or safer ones when they hold a wide lead. Pinballers talk about "slowing the ball down," cradling it on a flipper while plotting moves. "If you control the ball, you control the game," says tourney player Tim Smith, 31. "When it's out of control, you cross your fingers and hope."
Before the Illinois tournament, players had an hour to acclimate to the groomed machines: learning tilt sensitivities, perfecting timing, testing strategies. "I'm getting a lot of air balls off the ramp," Joseph Blasi says while playing Theatre of Magic, referring to unexpected trajectories that send his shots flying. Another player asks about changes to the AC/DC game. "We have code that nukes the 'Highway to Hell' scoring strategy," Josh says, to audible groans, about a fix that eliminates a player's ability to score extra points just by choosing that song. The practice session is boisterous, but once it ends, the collective tension brings the room to a hush.
Pinball is an individual challenge, a one-person game of mental calculus. "If you choke, there's nobody to be mad at but yourself," Zach says. Players curse at themselves but are friendly competitors, with the camaraderie of students taking a final. Almost no one leaves the tournament once they're eliminated, even though it lasts seven hours; they stay late, playing pinball, talking pinball, absorbing pinball. Many predicted they'd have short days anyway, up against three Sharpes, although as it's turned out, Roger—wrists wrapped, hand towel in his pocket for wiping down the machines—lost in the first round. Like Zach, he takes it philosophically. "It's you—whether it's you versus the machine or with the machine," Roger says. "Today I was versus myself."

Eye For An Eye
Important Items...[edit]
This side quest can actually be a lot longer and more arduous than it was for us. But as we stated endlessly during our Walkthrough , we aren't friends with the Legion. And that worked out splendidly for us during this particular side quest. To get things started, you'll need to head to Camp Searchlight, the ridiculously irradiated location controlled by the NCR at the southeastern portion of the Mojave Wasteland. A prerequisite for this side quest is that you've already unlocked Cottonwood Cove, the Legion-controlled camp to the east of the Searchlight locations. If you have, then quick-travel (or go overland) to Camp Searchlight, which is to the east of the Raided Farmstead. Don't adjust your television! That green cloud hanging over everything and severely obscuring your vision is supposed to be there.
You see, the radiation here stems from the Legion, who unleashed some sort of makeshift bomb to kill the NCR contingent here. And they've mostly succeeded. When you speak with an officer known as First Sergeant Astor, you'll learn a bit about how the NCR has been surviving here, and you'll eventually be given the option to help him out. Doing so will require you to go to the aforementioned Cottonwood Cove, where the Legion have set themselves up. Astor wants documents from the Legion, as well as for you to plant a bug on one of their radios. And you can certainly do this. But if you follow our advice, clearing Cottonwood Cove violently before this encounter with First Sergeant Astor will give you the option to tell him that you already killed everyone there, thus bypassing everything in this side quest, and completing it just as you began. Excellent!

The influence leaders and managers have on the performance of their teams and, ultimately, their organizations cannot be understated.
Leaders shape the way people think and behave—leaders are viewed by others as role models, and employees look around to see if their behavior is consistent with the organization's espoused values and philosophy.
Leaders set the agenda. Leaders influence the organization's culture and in turn the long-term effectiveness of the organization. Leaders and managers set the context within which organizational members strive for excellence and work together to achieve organizational goals.
Human Synergistics International's research, particularly that of Robert A. Cooke, Ph.D. (HSI CEO and distinguished academic), clearly highlights the relationship between leadership strategies, the impact leaders have on others, and effectiveness in the leadership role. This impact has enormous significance in helping understand organizational culture and the role that norms and expectations play in organizational effectiveness.
Leadership helps shape culture. Culture in turn shapes leadership. They both drive performance.
We help those in leadership roles identify the relationship between behavior strategies and styles and leadership effectiveness, while providing a process for building personal capability in the leadership role.
We offer a range of assessments designed to develop leaders and managers that meet rigorous academic and psychometric standards while being practical and relevant to the real world. These can be provided as part of your individual, leadership, group, or organization development programs, and can be administered by a member of our Human Synergistics Global Change Circle™ (HSGCC), another practitioner of your choice, or yourself. Our Application and Accreditation Workshops provide hands-on learning, giving you knowledge and confidence in interpreting, debriefing, and developing action plans around HSI assessment feedback.

Welcome to Ujoint Off Road, where it's all about 4x4 vans! We've been helping convert vans for over 10 years and have over 600 units built around the globe!
Here's how it started:
I became a van enthusiast at an early age, and dreamed of driving one around the country. Then I saw my first 4x4 van on a trip to NY. That brought it to a whole new level! So I found a beat up, rusted 1978 Ford with a Pathfinder 4x4 conversion. I drove it around a while, then it decided that it didn't want to run anymore. I proceeded to completely tear it apart. The drive train, every single wire, everything. It took me over 3 years to get it running again, and I can say I learned a few things! Especially what not to do! That van was great, took me all the way to California, where I started working in the off road industry. It didn't take long before I decided to tear down the van again, upgrading the suspension. I did a few conversions for customers, and started to build the ultimate van in my head. So it was time to upgrade......
I started the Vanaconda build, planning the conversion kit and future upgrades the entire time. It had to be a daily driver, mountain bike shuttle, cross country driver, tow vehicle and camping rig, all in one. After several requests for copies of my kit, I decide to build a limited run in early 2007. The first production run sold out, and I was surprised at the amount of interest the idea generated. So when it was time to build more kits, I decided to start UJOR. I relocated back to NC in 2008, and started adding new product with goal of making 4x4 van conversions easier for the DIY van enthusiast. Please check back often for the latest news!!
I prefer to work with every customer one on one, the old fashioned way. So I don't have a web store. Please feel free to call or email me with any questions/suggestions.

Let $V$ be a vector space over $\mathbb R$. A symmetric bilinear pairing on $V$ is a linear map $a: V\otimes V \to \mathbb R$. Because $\mathbb R$ is characteristic not-two, I will freely confuse symmetric bilinear pairings with quadratic forms; if $v\in V$, I will write $av^2$ for $a(v\otimes v)$; and $av_1v_2$ for $a(v_1\otimes v_2)$. The pairing $a$ is positive (negative) definite on $V$ if $av^2$ is strictly positive (negative) whenever $v\neq 0$. The pairing $a$ is nondegenerate if the corresponding map $a: V\to V^\*: v \mapsto a(v\otimes-)$ has trivial kernel.
Two subspaces $V_1,V_2 \subseteq V$ are orthogonal if $av_1v_2 = 0$ for any $v_1\in V_1$ and any $v_2\in V_2$. If $V_1\subseteq V$, its orthogonal complemenet is the maximal subspace $V_2\subseteq V$ so that $V_1$ and $V_2$ are orthogonal (it always exists, and may intersect $V_1$). A subspace $V_+\leq V$ is positive (negative) if $a|\_{V_+ \otimes V_+}$ is positive- (negative-) definite. A subspace is maximally positive (negative) if it is positive (negative) and not contained in any other positive (negative) subspace. Maximally positive (negative) subspaces exist by Zorn's lemma.
Let $a$ be a nondegenerate symmetric bilinear pairing on $V$. If $V$ is finite-dimensional, then the following are true (e.g. by running Gram-Schmidt):
- Let $V_+$ and $V_-$ be maximally positive and negative subspaces. Then $V = V_+ + V_-$. Since $V_+ \cap V_- = 0$, this presents $V$ as a direct sum.
- Let $V_+$ be a maximally positive subspace. Then its orthogonal complement is maximal negative.
An important corrolarry of 1. is that any two maximally positive (negative) subspaces have the same dimension. Then we can define the signature of the pairing $a$ as the pair $(\dim V_+,\dim V_-)$. When $a$ is not nondegenerate, the signature is actually a triple; the third term is the dimension of the kernel of the map $a: V\to V^\*$. ($a$ induces a nondegenerate symmetric pairing on $V / \ker a$.)
My question is: are statements 1., 2. true when $V$ is infinite-dimensional? If not, what (topologico-analytical, say) conditions on $V$ assure that they are? (Or at least that 1. is; I don't really care about 2.)

White Sox lose replay challenge in KC finale
KANSAS CITY -- Judging by Robin Ventura's controlled but agitated reaction following his team's 5-1 victory over the Royals on Sunday, the White Sox manager was not exactly thrilled with his first replay encounter.
Ventura challenged a call on Eric Hosmer's one-out grounder in the sixth back to starting pitcher Chris Sale, who forced Danny Valencia at second, but Hosmer was ruled safe at first by umpire Paul Schreiber on shortstop Alexei Ramirez's throw in an attempt to complete a double play. The play went to replay and the call was ruled to stand -- meaning there wasn't enough video evidence to overturn.
That challenge covered 1 minute, 47 seconds.
"I wouldn't say it went smoothly," Ventura said. "Especially when you see the replay on the board, and you can tell by the reaction of the crowd. I still haven't seen a replay when he's safe so we'll figure that out. We must be getting a different replay than everyone else is getting."
Because the ruling on the field was that the runner was safe, overturning the call required definitive evidence that Hosmer was out. Replays from multiple angles were deemed inconclusive.
"Apparently he was safe. That's what the ruling was," Sale said. "They have TVs and people up there doing all that. I didn't get a good look at it so I really have no comment on it. It is what it is. It's part of the game you are going to have to get used to. Just try to stay focused and still have a job to do."
With one out in the top of the sixth, Royals manager Ned Yost challenged a play at first base where Marcus Semien was initially ruled safe on a grounder up the middle fielded by second baseman Omar Infante. The replay of 1 minute, 8 seconds overturned the original call and Semien was called out on Infante's great effort.

Britain's Prince Harry will begin his week-long trip to the United States with two days in the D.C. area.
On Thursday, Prince Harry will begin his visit with a trip to Capitol Hill. There, he'll tour an exhibit sponsored by the HALO Trust, a group that works to clear landmines and other dangerous war debris.
Harry announced he would become a patron of the charity last month; his mother, Princess Diana, had also been involved with the group, Hello magazine reported. Cindy McCain, who serves on the board of the charity, will join Prince Harry.
Later Thursday, the prince will attend a reception and dinner at the British Embassy on Massachusetts Avenue.
On Friday, Prince Harry will lay a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery, and another in Section 60, the burial ground for military personnel killed in Iraq and Afghanistan.
He'll then visit Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, where he'll receive a private briefing on recent advances in prosthetics and visit wounded warriors.
Prince Harry's trip also includes stops in Colorado for the Warrior Games -- in which injured servicemembers compete in sports such as archery, cycling and wheelchair basketball -- before traveling to New York and New Jersey, where he'll meet with Hurricane Sandy victims and attend other events.

Business Builders Club
What is the Business Builders Club?
The Business Builders Club is the student entrepreneurship organization at Ohio State. We connect current and aspiring student entrepreneurs with the knowledge, resources, and mentors to build successful businesses through weekly meetings, our mentor/incubator program, and IdeaPitch competitions. Last year we invested over $15,000 to help student entrepreneurs get their businesses started!
What does the Business Builders Club do?
The Tuesday weekly meetings feature an entrepreneurial speaker and serve as a venue to allow students to connect with successful entrepreneurs, other entrepreneurial-minded students, and community members. We view ourselves as much more than a student organization – more of an "entrepreneurial tribe" that will assist each other and collaborate throughout our lives. Oh yeah, we also have free pizza at our meetings!
Who are Business Builders?
Successful Business Builders come in all shapes, sizes, colors and styles. Our members study everything you can imagine – from art to business to engineering to English to pre-medicine…and everything in between. Some of them don't even study at all! Some will start businesses while in school, while some may start them 20 years later. It's all good. Come check out the BBC, meet some cool people, and see for yourself…
Entrepreneurial-minded students at The Ohio State University as well as successful entrepreneurs who we'd like to attract to connect with the club. We want a first-class website that will reflect the high caliber of students and events associated with the Business Builders Club.
We have built a detailed wireframe / mockup here: http://gomockingbird.com/mockingbir…789a7e0757.

Bibliographic record and links to related information available from the Library of Congress catalog
Information from electronic data provided by the publisher. May be incomplete or contain other coding.
In his more than three dozen books, Elmore Leonard has captured the imagination of millions of readers as few writers can. A literary icon praised by The New York Times Book Review as "the greatest crime writer of our time, perhaps ever," he has influenced many contemporary writers and is known for both the quality and the accessibility of his writing.
In this collection of new and recently published short fiction, Leonard demonstrates the superb characterizations, dead-on dialogue, vivid atmosphere, and driving plotting that have made him a household name. And once more this master of crime illustrates that the line between the law and the lawbreakers is not as firm as we might think.
Federal marshal Karen Sisco, from the bestselling novel Out of Sight, returns in "Karen Makes Out," once again inadvertently mixing pleasure with business. In "Fire in the Hole," Raylan Givens, last seen in Riding the Rap and Pronto, meets up with an old friend, but they're now on different sides of the law. In the title story, "When the Women Come Out to Dance," Mrs. Mahmood gets more than she bargains for when she conspires with her maid to end her unhappy marriage. In all nine stories -- each unique in their own right -- reluctant heroes and laid-back lowlifes struggle for power, survival, and their fifteen minutes of fame.
Vivid, hilarious, and unfailingly human, these stories ring true with Elmore Leonard's signature deadpan social observations and diabolical eye for the foibles of the good guys and the bad.

Lauren Haggis
Creating pseudo realistic, figurative paintings with a Rorschach inkblot test underbelly.
Lauren Haggis is a fine artist with a strong background in painting and drawing. Her paintings, usually with a nude solitary female figure, are rich with understated depth, carrying an engaging soft sense of the personal mixed with an underlying almost cinematic narrative that keeps the viewer occupied in guessing what is truly
occurring within the mind and surroundings of the artwork's subject. Often Haggis' paintings explore the boundaries and relationships of chaos and silence. Without giving her viewers a distinct and apparent answer for each painting, she asks questions, inviting the viewer to converse with the painting and find their own answers and meaning within it.
Her works have varied from private commissions by the global firm, Morgan Stanley, to appearances in Academy Award winning movies, along with group and solo exhibitions.
Her North Los Angeles studio is open to collectors and curators, as well as client requests for commissions & portraiture.
Haggis has been featured in various publications, such as LA2DAY. She has exhibited in Los Angeles, New York, and Canada.

Hundreds of people join a solidarity concert featuring prominent performers Sangpuy and Wu Zhi-Ning, in Taiwan. At events at 265 cities in 43 countries thousands of people took part in a day of solidarity to mark two months since the Arctic 30 were detained following a peaceful protest against Arctic oil drilling on September 18. A Russian court has charged the Arctic 30 (twenty-eight Greenpeace International activists, as well as a freelance videographer and photographer) with both piracy and hooliganism, which carry a maximum sentence of 15 and 7 years, respectively.

Like most people, Im constantly on the hunt for white teeth. If I had the money I'd get a full set of veneers, but until then Im stuck with highstreet bleaching (I've never had but its really unsafe and I really dont recommend) or home treatments. I've used lots of different things over the years to vary degrees of success. I drink way to much coffee and coke and I wish I could just stop as I know my teeth are suffering but I'm just addicted. I think as well that my teeth just naturally aren't that Hollywood white smile I really want.
Crest White Strips seem to get rave reviews over in the States so naturally, I had to try. I've tried both the normal white strips that you use everyday as well as the Two Hour Express ones. You cant actually buy these in store the UK at the moment so I tend to buy off ebay sellers. You can get them from the UK or US sellers, depends on who your comfortable buying from.
They are really easy to apply, are not particularly uncomfortable to wear. I tend to use 2 Hour Advance strips once every 3-4 months then use the regular ones once a week. The Two Hour strips are for a harsh bleaching process. I find they do make your teeth quite sensitive the next day even if you don't have sensitive teeth. But the uncomfortable feeling does go away after a few hours. They are intended for maximum whiteness in the shortest amount of time. The regular white strips aren't as harsh, but you don't get results as quickly as you would do with the 2 hour ones. Your supposed to use the regular ones everyday, but I think its quite hard to actually remember to put them on. When I was at uni I used to wear them on my drive to Hereford each morning! But its so easy to forget.
I wouldnt recommend these at all if you have sensitive teeth. However I can confirm they do actually work and you can definely see the improvement in your teeth colour time. I havent achieved as white as I'd like and highly doubt I ever will until I pay up and get them whitened professionally!But these are good if your on a budget and can deal with the uncomfortable-ness for a few hours after using them.

Ubuntu Linux 8.10 (one of the most popular Linux distribution) has been released and available for download ( jump to download link ). Ubuntu Linux is a community-based Linux distribution. Ubuntu is sponsored by UK based company Canonical Ltd, which is owned by South African entrepreneur Mark Shuttleworth. Instead of selling Ubuntu itself, Canonical makes money by selling paid support for Ubuntu.
Ubuntu 8.10 Desktop Edition is designed for the pervasively connected digital lifestyle. With new 3G network support, users can move smoothly from wired and WiFi networks onto 3G cellphone networks while traveling. Ubuntu 8.10 is also built to be shared – users can start a quick "guest session" on the fly and let someone use their computer to surf the web or check email, while maintaining the security and integrity of their own data. And if that person really enjoys their brief session as an Ubuntu guest, they can put Ubuntu on any USB key and take it home to install on their own computer rather than having to burn a CD.
What's new in Intrepid Ibex
"Intrepid Ibex" is the code name for Ubuntu v8.10. New features:
3G Support
For constant connectivity public WiFi has limitations. Improvements to the network manager in Ubuntu 8.10 makes it simple to detect and connect to 3G networks and manage connectivity.
Write Ubuntu to and Install from a USB Drive
Ubuntu has been made available to users as an image for CDs and DVDs to date. But CDs and DVDs are slower, less portable and less convenient than USB sticks. Now, a simple application in Ubuntu will allow users to write Ubuntu to a USB drive, even a modified version of Ubuntu with their data on it, so it can be carried everywhere to plug in and use on any machine.
Guest Sessions
Guest sessions allow users to lock down a session easily so a guest can use the full system without interference with programs or data.
BBC Content
Starting the media players within Ubuntu (Totem Movie Player and Rhythmbox) launches a menu of selected content from the broadcaster that is free to air. This is a mixture of video, radio and podcasts and available in high quality, much of it playable using non-proprietary codecs.
Latest Gnome 2.24 Desktop Environment
New features include a new instant messaging client, a built-in time tracker, improved file management and toolbars plus better support for multiple monitor use with the ability to set screen resolution by monitor.
Other new features in Ubuntu Linux 8.10
- X.Org 7.4
- Linux kernel 2.6.27
- Encrypted private directory
- DKMS (by dell to automatically rebuild drivers)
- Samba 3.2
- PAM authentication framework
Ubuntu 8.10 Download
You can download Ubuntu Linux 8.10 via the web/ftp server or via BitTorrent (recommended). The combined install/live DVD allows you either to install Ubuntu permanently on a computer.
32 bit vs 64 bit version
- For almost all PCs select 32 bit version. For e.g., most machines with Intel/AMD/etc type processors and almost all computers that run Microsoft Windows, as well as newer Apple Macintosh systems based on Intel processors.
- Choose 64 bit version to take full advantage of computers based on the AMD64 or EM64T architecture (e.g., Athlon64, Opteron, EM64T Xeon, Core 2). If you have a non-64-bit processor made by AMD, or if you need full support for 32-bit code, use the Intel x86 images instead.

The issue:
The risk of a devastating cyberattack on the United States is real. But is it too remote to justify the costs of countermeasures? That's the quandary. There's no question the country remains vulnerable to an "electronic Pearl Harbor," as debate continues on the role the federal government should play in securing computer networks that control the nation's electrical grid, water supply and other critical sectors.
Where they stand:
President Barack Obama wants owners and operators of essential U.S. infrastructure to meet minimum cybersecurity standards that the private sector and federal agencies would develop together. He says federal agencies and businesses should exchange information about looming cyberthreats or malicious software that can damage computer networks.
Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney says within his first 100 days in office he would order all federal agencies to develop a national strategy to deter and defend the country from cyberattacks. Romney's Republican allies in Congress support the sharing of cyberthreat information but oppose giving Washington a say in how the private sector protects its networks.
Why it matters:
Without warning, the electricity goes out, leaving you and your family in the dark for days, perhaps weeks. Or the gates of a dam holding back millions of gallons of water open suddenly and flood towns below. Or pipes in a chemical plant rupture, releasing deadly gas.
Any one, or all, of these nightmare scenarios could be invisibly set in motion by hackers, terrorist groups or foreign governments with the motivation and technical knowhow. Gen. Keith Alexander, head of U.S. Cyber Command, has rated the country's preparedness for a major cyberattack as poor, a 3 on a scale of 1 to 10.
But Congress hasn't taken action to bolster digital defenses.
The ideological divisions between Republicans and Democrats have grown so wide that the parties can't agree on how to confront a risk they acknowledge is real. At its core, the stalemate is a microcosm of the larger argument underpinning the presidential campaign: How involved should the federal government be in the economy and people's lives?
The risk to critical infrastructure comes from the heavy reliance of these industries on computer systems that remotely control functions once handled by humans, such as the opening and closing of valves and breakers, the switching of railroad tracks and the detection of leaks in oil and gas pipelines. Sending false commands to these systems or disabling them could be disastrous.
Obama says holding companies to minimum security standards would ensure no one is cutting corners. Republicans say that approach will only lead to costly, time-consuming regulations and red tape that won't reduce the risk.
Both sides agree there needs to be a way to share sensitive information about incoming attacks. Yet there are disagreements over how best to ensure these exchanges don't violate rights to privacy or civil liberties.
Politics isn't the only hurdle. The impact of a major cyberattack is hard to grasp because the U.S. hasn't been the target of one. That means less pressure on Congress to act. Cybersecurity experts worry it will take an actual attack to get people sufficiently concerned. The Stuxnet computer worm that infiltrated Iran's nuclear program is a reminder of how debilitating an electronic assault can be.
Gen. Martin Dempsey, the nation's top military officer, worries a cyberattack on critical infrastructure would imperil the armed forces, as well as civilians, because commercial transportation systems and electrical grids are part of the nation's defenses.
"The uncomfortable reality of our world today is that bits and bytes can be as threatening as bullets and bombs," Dempsey, the Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman, has told lawmakers.

Bugs Q&A
After I save my game, I get something called Error 12 (or Error 16). It tells me to consult the Readme, but the Readme doesn't list this error. What is it, and how do I avoid it?[edit]
This is the worst bug The Sims 3 will hit you with, and is potentially game-breaking. Please see our page on Save Errors 12 and 16 for details.
I've been baby-jacked! What can I do?[edit]
If a Sim is holding a baby and you ask them to leave, they will more than likely leave with the baby, and it will be removed from your family. This is a bug, so just be sure to take your baby back before kicking them out of the house.
You can also do the resetSim cheat code. Hit CTRL + SHIFT + C, then type the following:
resetSim FirstName LastName
...So if I wanted to reset my namesake, I'd type "resetSim Pyro Falkon" without quotes. The Sim in question, regardless of age, will be teleported to his or her home lot with mood meters reset.
Two of my Sims got married. One Sim had a bunch of money, and moved into her new husband's house… but now her money is gone! Is it just somewhere I'm not seeing?[edit]
It's a bug probably—we can't imagine this would actually be a design choice. But you're right, when two Sims get married, their bank accounts do not wholly combine. There is currently no workaround for this short of avoiding marriage entirely.
My Sims have stopped / started aging when I had it enabled / disabled it! What happened?[edit]
The options menu doesn't stick by save game, it sticks globally. If you have Save Game 1 for example, then make a new game and switch the option, then go back to Save Game 1, you'd have to re-toggle the option to make things tick again. This applies for all options, of course, not just aging. This is by design.
Why are my bills going up? I haven't bought anything new.[edit]
There are a couple current snafus, probably bugs, that are in the game relating to bills. One that is being reported is that all objects on your lot work against your bills, so if a friend parks their car in your driveway, it works against your bills. This, naturally, seems to be a bug.
That's a rare occurrence though. More commonly, it seems your bills are partly based on how much money you have in your bank account, so if you suddenly get a quick influx of money—say, from a promotion—your bills may jump a little more quickly than you realize. This may or may not be a bug, but it's something to be aware of.
Either way, your bills won't jump to the point where you can't afford anything; you just may be shelling out a bit more to the Simulated Internal Revenue Service than you want to. Which I suppose does accurately mimic real-life, huh?
My Sim owned a business, but he doesn't anymore. I didn't sell it, so what happened to it?[edit]
If you switch your active family, most of your Sims' inventory items will vanish. That can include deeds to businesses as well. Before switching families, be sure to empty all inventories into the house, even if you have to make a little one-off room.
I assigned my Sim a trait when he aged up, but it didn't appear![edit]
Yeah, this is a bug too. We haven't personally experienced this aside from when children age up to teens, but it's been reported that it strikes other age changes as well. We've never seen this happen when Sims are aged up through birthday cakes, so a possible workaround is to just ensure you always give your Sims birthday parties. If your teen or children are hit with the bug, you could wait until they hit the next age, and the traits may correct themselves.
If you're struck with the bug, there are two ways to fix it. If you're uncomfortable with cheating, then you can spend 20,000 Lifetime Happiness Points to get the Mid-Life Crisis superpower. You can only do this once you hit adulthood of course.
If you're okay with cheating, the first thing you need to do is bring up the cheat console with CTRL + SHIFT + C. Then, type the cheat...
testingCheatsEnabled on
...(notice the space in there) to unlock some special commands. Now, hold SHIFT and left-click the Sim you want to alter. A pie menu will come up with two options: one to modify his or her traits, and one to force him or her to age up. After you alter things, you can do a "testingCheatsEnabled off" to disable the special commands if you so choose.
Why isn't my Sim dying from old age, even though he's older than the lifespan?[edit]
What a morbid question! The thing is, this is actually by design. The lifespan of a Sim, set in the options menu, is a minimum, rather than a hard number. By default, the lifespan of a Sim is 90 days; that means the Sim will live a minimum of 90 days (provided no disasters befall him of course). Some actions in the game, such as beating the Jogging Challenge of the Athletic skill set, can lengthen lifespan, so it's not impossible to see a Sim live to around 120 days even if his lifespan is only 90.
After switching active families several times rapidly, the game doesn't update the family member selection part of the interface, so I can't select my active family members![edit]
Simply go back to the main menu, and be sure to save. When you come back into the neighborhood, the game will have updated the interface correctly.
Why did half my romantic interactions disappear when the relationship between my Sims hasn't decayed?[edit]
This is by design. The game works on a "momentum" system when it comes to social interactions. Even if two Sims are completely, totally in love, if they don't live in the same house, then they can't immediately jump in the sack when they visit each other. You have to command them to do a couple low-level romantic interactions, such as flirting or shy kisses, first. Then, a few more commands, such as Make Out and Leap Into Arms appear. Do those, and then you'll see the high-level Woo Hoo and Try For Baby commands.
The thing is, the "momentum" can be broken if you do non-romantic actions. If you do four Make Out commands, then change it up and do a friendly-category Gossip command, the Make Out option usually disappears until you do some more low-level romantic interactions again. You need to simply keep doing romance constantly until you fulfill your (probably naughty) objective.
You can tell what stage you're on by the description of the chat bubble in the top-left corner. For example, if two Sims are at the low-level commands, it will read "Sim feels Other Sim is being flirty." As things advance, it will read "Sim feels Other Sim is very alluring." At the top level, it will read "Sim feels Other Sim is extremely irresistible." There are different phrases for other types of interactions, but they are consistent as far as their meaning goes.
I won second place at an opportunity, but I didn't get any money for it, even though the game said I did.[edit]
No current workaround, but this is definitely a bug. You still get money for actually winning, so if your Sim is greatly skilled, go ahead and try the opportunity or weekly event anyway, and you might be rewarded.
While on vacation, my Sim get stuck in an interaction with an object. How do I get him to stop?[edit]
Sims seem to get stuck doing some animations in the Base Camps, especially late at night (after midnight). The only ones we've seen where they'll be stuck for a long time are the bed when you give a "Go To Sleep" command, and the shower when you give a "Shower" command. In the former, they seem to hang out by the bed and stare at it until the next hour or two passes. In the later, they will do the action forever until manually stopped.
For example, Pete Falkon was given the "Go To Sleep" order at 12:20am. He stood by the bed until 2:00am when, exactly as the hour passed, he actually jumped into the sheets and fell asleep. The next day, I told him to take a shower, and he was just washing away for literally over 90 minutes after his Hygiene meter topped off. We have no idea why this is happening, and there seems to be no prediction when this one strikes. If the Sim is refusing to go to bed, your best bet is to just speed time up and hope he decides to get into bed presently. For the shower, things are much easier: just manually cancel the order by clicking the icon in the top-right corner, just like when you cancel any command.
I just wanted to build a basement, but I crashed when I clicked the tool! What do I do?[edit]
If you're like me and played for two hours straight without saving when this happened, you'll cry. (Go ahead, we won't tell.) Be sure to save before clicking the Build Basement tool, just in case: sometimes you'll immediately crash all the way to the desktop when you click it.
I just bought the "No Bills Forever" superpower but still got bills! What gives?[edit]
If you buy "No Bills Forever" on the same day bills are set to arrive (Tuesday or Thursday), chances are you might still get bills that one time. Think of it as that the superpower hasn't kicked in yet. After this one final bill however, you'll never see bills again in that family unless that Sim dies or moves out.
My inventory seems bugged. I can't move anything around, and now I can't move anything in my containers.[edit]
It appears that there is a bug connected to the mystical axe you get from China. If a Sim has the axe, then moves it into a chest, there's no problem. However, once the axe is removed from the chest, weird things start to happen. In our experience, we were then unable to move anything anywhere. Buy Mode became sluggish and we were unable to change styles of objects, and we were unable to sell anything from our Sim's inventory.
Once this bug strikes, there is little permanent damage. Save and quit as soon as you can, then simply restart the game. Once the game restarts, almost everything is back to normal. The axe itself, for us, disappeared entirely. However, our Sim that had the power of the axe still used it when commanded; the axe seems to be a state of being rather than an actual object as far as the game is concerned. So now, although the family doesn't have the axe at all, our Sim still pulls it out of thin air when she needs to shatter some rocks.
Why isn't my Sim isn't using his computer, even though he was able to the last time I played?[edit]
When you install the expansion pack, Sims may have trouble pathfinding some specific objects. We had an adult Sim who couldn't use his computer, and another toddler Sim unable to use one of his little toys for some reason. The solution here is to sell the offending object (the desk chair in the former case, the toy in the latter), then buy the same object and stick it in the same place.
We've also had similar problems with cribs. While toddlers can be placed in cribs, toddlers seem to not understand they're actually in a crib if it was leftover from prior to the expansion being installed. That is, say the toddler is sleepy, and you put him in the crib. He may not realize he's actually in it, and will continue to cry and scream (and keep everyone else awake) until he finally just passes out when his Energy meter empties. Again, the solution is to buy a new crib, even if you just use the eyedropper tool to clone the crib you've got. Once he's in the new crib, he'll realize it, and he'll go to sleep if he's tired enough.
Why does an opportunity say "Return home to complete the opportunity" when I'm already home?[edit]
This bug strikes when you've moved a family, especially when you move your active family, switch the active family, then switch back. It's best if you just clear out opportunities by right-clicking them in the opportunity pane if you have moved your family.
Why is there a giant hole in my terrain?[edit]
Probably because you had a staircase linking your first floor and your basement, and you used the sledgehammer tool to destroy the stairs. If you wish to avoid this (and who doesn't?), then make sure if you delete stairs, you do so by selecting the stair tool, holding CTRL, and clicking the stairs you wish to delete.
Why did my fish die while I was on vacation?[edit]
There is a bug where, although everything else is on a time freeze, going on a vacation does not auto-feed your fish. So, if you want your little guppy to still be swimming when you come back, be sure to take the fish out of your fishbowl and stuff him in the family inventory. When you come back, just take him out and put back in his bowl.

According to legend, Eliana was a young, beautiful witch who long ago lived in wizarding village in the mountains. In the dense forest that surrounded the hamlet, there resided a Dark wizard, Raczidian. The villagers and Raczidian managed to co-exist peacefully for many years; he left them alone, and, in return, they stayed away from the part of the woods where his fortess resided.[1]
One day, however, Eliana caught the special attention of Raczdian while she was out gathering berries in the forest. Taken by her, he decided she would make him the perfect wife, and he thus sent a missive to her mother and father demanding her hand in marriage. They refused. Raczidian then threatened to send his Dementors to destroy the village unless they delivered Eliana to him.[1]
The village elders conferred with each other and agreed to resist. Eliana was sent the shack of Illyius, a shy, poor orphan who had been ordered to sit out the battle and keep Eliana company because his mouse Patronus was perceived as being too feeble to be of any assistance in the battle.[1]
At first, the villagers were able to stave off the hoard of Dementors with the collective force of their Patronuses, but gradually the sheer number of foes began to overwhelm them. Eliana begged Illyius to do something. He cast the Patronus Charm, and despite its size, the mouse shone brilliantly, bringing the Dementors to a halt. Raczidian then decided to enter the fray himself. He attempted to summon a Patronus to ward off Illyius's mouse, but because he was not pure of heart, maggots shot from his wand instead and devoured him.[1]
Eliana went on to marry Illyius, who was hailed as a hero, and lived a long, happy life.[1]

Credit cards are not evil. There, I said it. But that's not how some people see them. They see credit cards as the devils that tempt them to spend more than they should. Debit cards are the angels in their wallet who keep them from piling up mountains of high-interest debt.
I can understand that. Credit counselors say people who can only buy what they can pay for on the spot are more likely to spend less than those who charge it.

But let's be honest — credit cards don't make you spend more. And thanks to the Credit CARD ACT of 2009 , many of the worst tricks and traps commonly used by credit card companies have been outlawed.
"Credit cards can actually be extremely beneficial if you use them correctly," says Bill Hardekopf, CEO of lowcards.com. "That means paying off your entire balance on time each and every month."
Credit cards are also the safest way to pay because they have built-in fraud protection required by federal law.Video: Tips for finding the right credit card (on this page)
"Normally, you won't be responsible for any fraudulent purchases on a credit card," notes Gerri Detweiler, personal finance adviser for credit.com. "With a debit card, if you don't catch the theft right away or you don't notify your issuer right away, you literally could lose your entire bank account plus an overdraft line of credit."
Most banks promise zero liability with their debit cards. Even so, you'll probably have to wait to get your money back. Some banks will return it in a day. Others may take a few days. By law, they generally have up to ten days to investigate your claim.
"That could be a crucial time for you if you need that cash to pay for gas or rent or groceries or the mortgage," notes Adam Levin of Identity Theft 911. "If you're having automatic debits taken out of your checking account, it could cause them to bounce."
With a credit card purchase, you're also protected if the merchandise you buy is defective and the retailer or manufacturer won't help. You can contact your credit card company and ask for the charges to be reversed.
"You can't do that with a debit card," says consumer advocate Edgar Dworsky, founder of ConsumerWorld.org. "You can't call up the bank that issued your debit card and say, 'That refrigerator that I just bought is defective, reverse the charges back to the store.' No such thing with a debit card."
Many credit cards also offer a variety of perks, such as:
Extended warranty: Many cards, especially gold and platinum cards, extend the manufacturer's original U.S. warranty for up to one additional year if you use that card to make the purchase.
Price protection: It's always nice to know that if you buy something and the price drops, you can get some money back, even if the store won't help you. Many cards refund the difference (up to a specified amount) if you find the same product from the same manufacturer selling for less within a certain time period. Lowcards.com says that's typically 60 days. There are restrictions and this price protection does not apply to airline tickets.
Fraud protection:
Federal regulations
Credit cards: If your credit card is used without your permission, your maximum liability is $50. If you report the loss before the card is used, you are not responsible for any unauthorized charges. If the thief uses your card number – but not your card – you are not liable for the unauthorized charges. To minimize your liability, report a loss as soon as possible.
Debit cards: If a debit or ATM card is lost or stolen, you cannot be held liable for more than $50 if you notify the bank or credit union within two business days after you realize the card is missing. After two days, your maximum liability jumps to $500. If you do not report the loss within 60 days, there is no cap on how much you could lose.

Baggage fees: Some cards pay for checked bags when you use them to buy your tickets. With the Continental OnePass Plus MasterCard you can check the first bag on every Continental flight for free. The Gold Delta SkyMiles card from American Express lets you – and up to nine people traveling on your reservation – check the first bag for free on all Delta flights.
Lost luggage protection: Most lost bags usually show up within a few days, but not always. Sometimes your luggage never arrives and the airline or cruise line won't pay for everything you've lost. This secondary coverage from the credit card helps reimburse you for losses not covered by the carrier.
Purchase protection: Let's say you buy a new TV and within a few months it's stolen or accidentally damaged. Your warranty won't cover that. With the "Citi ThankYou Premiere Card" most items are protected against theft, fire or accidental breakage (up to $1,000) for up to 90 days from purchase date. American Express offers similar protection.
Special deals: Some cards give you the chance to buy concert tickets before they go on sale to the general public.
Concierge services: When I travel I always take advantage of the hotel's concierge service. Many premium cards (such as American Express Platinum, Visa Signature, MasterCard World Elite and Chase Sapphire Preferred) have their own 24/7 concierge service. Use it change your travel plans, find show tickets, make dinner reservations or in any sort of emergency situation.
The list of benefits offered by credit card companies goes on. They include: trip cancellation and interruption coverage, roadside assistance, baggage delay coverage, travel insurance and hotel/motel burglary insurance.
"It's very important that people check the terms and conditions of the credit card they have or the card they're considering applying for," says Lowcard.com's Bill Hardekopf. "Not all credit cards have the same benefits. Those benefits will be spelled out in the terms and conditions, so read them carefully."
A few debit cards now offer some of the perks listed above. But they still don't provide the same fraud protection as a credit card.Video: Should you take advantage of credit card check offers? (on this page)
My two cents
If used wisely, a credit card can be your friend. You get the benefit of the float, the maximum fraud protection and some nice perks (depending on the card). You also build up a credit history. Debit card transactions are not reported to the credit bureaus, so they have no effect on your credit score.
The trick is to use a credit card like a debit card. Never spend more than you have or will have when the statement arrives. You are in control of that card. As long as you don't use it to buy things you can't afford, there's no reason to fear it and many good reasons to use it.

Oil change. I'm surprise to know most teenagers dont know how to change their car oil, cant change the tyres even. Guys without handyman skills are like a girls who cant cook, both are useless. Most handyman job can be easily done with the right set of tools.
My favourite tool is the knife (prefebly the kitchen knife). The blade should be about 7" inch long, if the knife is too short it cant reach the vital organs, if the blade is too thin it will break when it hit the bones. When stab, the knife should be rotated to 90 degree, therefore the handle should be wrap with fabric for better gribs. If the victim scream he will die instantly due to blood filling his lung, if the victim collapse he will die from accessive bleeding.
Cuong and Vy's wedding reception. Most of my highschool friends are engaged, married or having kids to each other. While I have a fear for commitment and enjoy being single.

Flashback 17th April, 2005.
Came to uni for end of semester exam. I'm a typical Asians that do last minute cramming for exams.
Tony got an awesome place in the heart of Sydney city. A place for me to crash when I have too much to drink.
When I get my holiday home or rebuild, I want to make an extra room for a guestroom. Hey! I can use the extension room of my current place as a guestroom!
Playing tennis.
Experiment with making food, outdoor catering food in paticular. Because they uses fresh ingredients and no messy clean up afterward. Personally, I like throwing things on the barbie. I'll call friends and Julie over sometime.
I'm giving away 5 healthy palm trees, they're about 10-15 years old. Otherwise I will put it on eBay next month.
Need to take it down because it's blocking the sunset view. Call 0415 771 213.
