Spy Passion by Yakov | mp3 | 1:25
Description: Night. A long wall, a lonely string lantern. On the background of the walls, a citizen in a cloak with a raised collar and pulled on his eyebrows hat. ...Of course, in his hand he had a gun. Citizen moves, for some reason, on tiptoe.This is agent 001 and he once again is going to save the World. Wonderful! In the performance of classic rock Quartet you can hear as it may sound.
Spy passions 2 by Yakov | mp3 | 2:33
Genres: Royalty Free Music , Hardcore
Description: And again the World on the brink of catastrophe, and again the bad people manically obsessed with the idea to subdue the Nations. Fortunately, there is always Batman - and he will save us this time. It is not very easy job to be the hero - no time even to drink coffee.
The black Panther by Yakov | mp3 | 2:35
Description: The black Panther on the walk. I ask all sorts of excuses, but I think that something similar to the Panther is in every woman. You never know how the matter, the more so if the Panther wags its tail.

Maybe it's not a huge issue, but I feel we need the ability to change our votes. I downvoted someone before I remembered that we're not supposed to do that if we simply disagree with them. I tried to take it back, but couldn't figure out how to. All I would get would be a message saying that I've already voted. For the record, the comment I downvoted is
What happens if someone accidently clicks on a vote or changes their mind? Again, not important in the grand scheme of things. But it's something I'd like to see.

In 2005 Sam was met by Dean 22 years after there mothers death. Over time they re bonded and traveled the countryside as hunters. Sam found he was a "special child" and that the cause of all their problems was a demon named Azazel. Finding there father they eventually took out the demon but lost family in return. With supernatural coming out of the woodwork the boys found themselves deep in a battle that was beyond them. Demons, Angles, the Apocalypse, Alphas, Fairy tale creatures, and the Leviathans. It had been a long tough battle. Did they win, who knows, probably not for the supernatural is always out there. However, something happened, something no one can explain, it all changed.....
It's 2003 and Sam Winchester is in college at Stanford, while his brother is still on the road. Everything that once was is now not. The dead are living, the freed are trapped, and the apocalypse never came. Thankfully no ones known for the better, or have they? Are there some out there that know things were different, that this reality is not what happened, maybe. Yet for those that don't remember its a fine escape from what really happened. The ticking time bomb has started over. Its up to those in the game to decide whether that bomb goes off or not. What will you choose?

Paronychia (pronounced: par-uh-nik-ee-uh) is an infection of the skin around a fingernail or toenail. The infected area can become swollen, red, and painful. Sometimes a pus-filled blister may form.
Most of the time, paronychia is no big deal and can be treated at home. In rare cases, the infection can spread to the rest of the finger or toe. When that happens, it can lead to bigger problems that may need a doctor's help.
You're not likely to get paronychia in a toe (unless you have an ingrown toenail). But fingernail paronychia is one of the most common hand infections there is.
Paronychia usually happens when the skin around a person's nail is irritated or injured. When the skin around the nail is damaged, germs can get in and cause an infection. These germs can be bacteria (causing bacterial paronychia) or fungi (causing fungal paronychia).
Common paronychia causes include:
Some people get paronychia infections after a manicure or using chemicals like nail glue. Certain health conditions (like diabetes) also can make paronychia more likely. And if your hands are in water a lot (if you wash dishes at a restaurant, for example), that ups the chances of getting paronychia.
Chances are, if you have paronychia, it will be easy to recognize. There will be an area of skin around a nail that is painful and tender when you touch it. The area probably will be red and swollen and feel warm. You may see a pus-filled blister.
If the paronychia has been there a long time, the nail may turn a different color. It might not be its usual shape or might look as if it's coming away from the nail bed.
If paronychia is mild and hasn't started to spread beyond the fingernail, you can probably treat it at home. Soak the infected nail in warm water for 20 minutes a few times a day. The infection will probably heal on its own in a few days.
If paronychia doesn't get better after a week or so, call your doctor. You'll want to call a doctor right away if you have an abscess (a pus-filled area in the skin or under the nail) or if it looks like the infection has spread beyond the area of the nail.
If paronychia becomes severe and you don't see a doctor, infection can spread through the finger or toe and move into the rest of the body. Luckily, this is very rare.
Usually, a doctor or nurse practitioner will be able to diagnose paronychia just by examining the infected area. In some cases, a doctor may take a pus sample to be examined in a laboratory to determine what type of germ is causing the infection.
If you have diabetes, let your doctor know if you notice any signs of paronychia, even if it seems mild.
Don't try to puncture or cut into an abscess yourself. Doing that can lead to a more serious infection or other complications. The doctor may need to drain the abscess and possibly prescribe antibiotic medications to treat the infection. Once an abscess is treated, the finger or toe almost always heals very quickly.
If someone has fungal paronychia, a doctor may prescribe antifungal creams, lotions, or other medicines.
Here are some things that can lessen your chances of developing paronychia:
As much as possible, try to avoid injuring your nails and the skin around them. Nails grow slowly. Any damage to them can last a long time.

Meet Steve Carter – ChCh's brand new Good News Reporter
Hmmm, "important" is such a loaded word. I am an ex-pat Brit, born in Merseyside and raised in the heart of England (Warwickshire) but now a fully-fledged citizen of this beautiful country. I love Te Waka O Maui, and I live in North New Brighton, only two blocks from the beach. To use my Dad's favourite answer to the age question, I'm "as old as my eyes (green) and slightly older than my teeth (mostly intact)". I'm paid to be a Health Promoter but also have pretensions as a writer, musician, DJ, graphic designer and tai chi person. I love my garden and my evolving relationship with and understanding of Nature, and I love to grow and eat healthy food. I hate the word 'hate' but I really do hate cucumber.
2. What do you spend your days doing?
That really depends on the day. Sometimes I will spend the whole day trying hard to do absolutely nothing … but responsibilities generally poke their way in at some point. I do a lot of reading and writing for work, so I spend a heap of time in front of the computer, but I do always like to break from the hunched position and walk on the beach or do a bit of work in the garden. Meetings do take up a fair bit of my time, but thankfully I love meeting people and having a good yarn, and the people I get to meet in my work as a Health Promoter for the Mental Health Foundation are always interesting. And what else? Play my guitar, listen to music, put together my radio show Moods For Moderns (broadcast on www.andhow.fm), practice my tai chi, cook nice food, watch DVDs. Basically, I like to keep my days interesting and varied and I have a whole load of things I enjoy doing … so life never gets boring.
It's really exciting to be writing for Happyzine. The world seems to be drowning in bad news and if you believed everything you read or watched or heard, you'd be forgiven for thinking everything was immediately and pressingly doomed. But then you go out into the real world and many people are living conscious and positive lives, enacting solutions and just being great to each other and the planet. In the face of what might appear to be a terrible future, I think we need to shine a light on this stuff to give others hope and motivation to be involved. I heard a lovely quote the other day: "Nobody can do everything, but everybody can do something."
Many of my friends have sharp tongues and a wicked sense of humour, so I'm not entirely sure I could trust them to introduce me appropriately. I'd like to think they would say I'm basically a nice guy … funny, smart and kind … but I'm not sure if that means I have to do more work on myself or on them!
The people, definitely. With all the talk of collapsed buildings, destroyed heritage, potholed and bumpy roads and a totally changed city for everybody, it's the people that have survived. There's a sense of community here that is at the core of why many have stayed when many others left. I honestly believe that the Kiwi spirit of sharing, humour, ingenuity and pragmatism is epitomised in Christchurch more than any other city I have visited in New Zealand. This really is the City That Rocks!
The Christchurch Good News Column is set to launch Friday May 4th. Charlotte Squire, Editor of Happyzine will officially launch the column at the Christchurch Changemaker's Convention. If you'd like to propose a good news story to Steve email: firstname.lastname@example.com. If you'd like to promote a sustainably run Christchurch based business and support the Christchurch Good News Column find out more information here, or email email@example.com

Overall, my stay at the Madison was great. The location of the hotel is perfect - within a few feet of the trolley line and just off of Main St. The... staff is wonderful and the hotel restaurant, Eighty3, has excellent food. My room was large, had a comfortable bed, a tv with a wide range of channels and the shower was huge with a "rain" showerhead. They use the Lather line of shower amenities (Bamboo scent), quite nice. The only issues I had were that the housekeeping is a little spotty (my room was not consistently cleaned) and the housekeepers tended to bang the doors of each room while cleaning and it was quite loud if you remained in your room. I would definitely stay there again. بواسطة نزيل Hotels.com في 2013/11/27

Green Jobs and Construction Careers
Publicly financed construction creates a better future for workers and communities when it delivers expanded access to career-path training and quality jobs.In particular, the new green economy presents a unique opportunity to uplift those who need good jobs the most while conserving our environment for future generations.Whether repairing roads, constructing new schools, or building new transit lines, construction is one of our largest public investments and keeps our communities functioning. Construction in the green economy includes:
FRESC's Construction Career Opportunities project seeks to reverse this trend through a multi-pronged strategy.
First, we seek to expand pathways for individuals into existing apprenticeship programs, with a special emphasis on training more women, people of color, and low-income individuals. FRESC works to build a bridge between registered apprenticeship programs, public workforce staff and systems, and community and neighborhood based organizations.
Second, we are working to build a more coordinated system of recruitment, training, and support services to ensure individuals have the support they need to qualify for and graduate from apprenticeship programs. FRESC does not provide direct services to job seekers, but we use our construction expertise and relationships with key stakeholders to maximize existing resources, fill gaps, and improve the regional construction workforce system.
Third, we advocate for clear and proven policies to ensure public and publicly-subsidized projects train registered apprentices. Workforce plans are doomed to failure if they focus only on improving the supply of prospective workers, without attention to ensuring there is adequate demand and openings to place and train those prospective workers on the job. FRESC has carefully studied best practices and failed construction training initiatives across the country to develop recommendations that will ensure that the first two prongs of the construction career strategy are ultimately successful.

Monday will bring the moment of truth in weeks of behind-the-door negotiations between farm bill principals on key components of the commodity title who have sent potential compromise solutions to the Congressional Budget Office to be scored. It isn't nutrition funding that has stalled discussions, but members reported that 95% of their time for the last two weeks of negotiations has been spent on Title 1. Coming out of meetings Wednesday, a tweet from the House Ag Committee indicated…Continue Reading
This Thanksgiving came without anything for farm bill negotiators to be very thankful for with another missed "deadline" of sorts to have more substantial progress made on the sticky issues of the commodity title, dairy program and how to tackle nutrition spending. The top four farm bill principals spoke via conference call Monday evening, but reported no new progress. A spokeswoman just confirmed the "process is ongoing." Frustrated by inaction, the National Corn Growers…Continue Reading
Reaction from the Environmental Protection Agency's proposed changes to the renewable fuels standard continues to come in mixed and will likely drag on with both sides threatening to challenge the rule in the court system. On one side, you've got livestock producers, food companies and oil interests saying thanks for the rollback, but it isn't enough. Their issue is with the premise of RFS which acts as a deterrent to real market forces. Over the last decade, I've covered…Continue Reading
Trade matters to farmers, proven in the latest record agricultural exports of $140.9 billion figures released. But what role will Congress play in expanding those export numbers looks to be coming to the forefront in the next few months. The most likely to surface first is what to do with county-of-origin labeling. The divisive issue has plagued legislators the past two farm bills and again looks to rear its ugly head in this year's already tangled mess of farm bill negotiations. Canada…Continue Reading
Congressional agriculture leaders continued their work this week to hammer out an agreement on a 2013 Farm Bill, with the Democratic ag leaders in both chambers saying they hope to have a conference product by Thanksgiving. However it looks as though the Budget Committees may hold the key to opening the door for final passage, said Charlie Stenholm at a Farm Foundation Forum on the farm bill Nov. 6. Stenholm, no stranger to farm bill conferences as a former House Agriculture Committee chair…Continue Reading
Leading up to the much-anticipated first farm bill conference meeting, attention has been predominantly focused on the different policy approaches to nutrition funding and the commodity title. But surprisingly country-of-origin labeling could be gaining steam to once again create an interesting twist within the farm bill process. Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, was the chairman during the 2002 and 2008 farm bills that brought about COOL, and said he hoped the committee does not interfere with USDA on…Continue Reading
In an era where legislators seem to have difficulty agreeing on what time of day it is, we saw a glimmer of hope that the government can indeed function as a combined unit and not be divided solely over partisan politics. In remarks delivered Oct. 24 at the Center for American Progress, Treasury Secretary Jack Lew indicated that, "As we move forward, we should make a pro-jobs, pro-growth agenda our focus. And we can advance this agenda by taking bipartisan action to replace…Continue Reading
Maybe I should be thanking Congress for doing what they should have done 3 weeks ago. But instead, I guess I'll just hope they can pull up their big boy – or girl – pants and get to work on what needs to be done yet – the farm bill. After Congress passed its debt deal President Barack Obama hit it on the nail in during part of his speech, "we know that the American people's frustration with what goes on in this town has never been higher. That's not a…Continue Reading
There has been plenty of speculation as to the path forward on the farm bill, but more pieces are falling into place to potentially set up final passage. Friday afternoon the House approved by voice vote a motion to go to conference with the Senate. Saturday House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, also named conferees. Earlier in the day Friday during the Rules Meeting consideration House Agriculture Committee Chairman Frank Lucas, R-Okla., said although constant dialogue…Continue Reading
I've always been a big believer that government functions better with different viewpoints/balance of parties that allow for compromise and coming to the middle. But this week I learned that might not be the case. Instead of coming together and doing their jobs, Congress has decided to draw deep lines in the sand and may not be able to salvage work on everything ranging from the farm bill to solving the nation's deep budgetary woes. This week Congress gave us the trifecta…Continue Reading

BUENOS AIRES, ARGENTINA (RTV/CBS) - Leandro Granato is making a splash in the art world through a new painting technique that uses his eye as the brush.
It involves snorting paint up through his nose cavity and squirting it out from his eyes onto a canvas.
The Argentine painter uses a special formula of watercolor paint that does not damage his eyes.
His watercolors have attracted eye-popping price tags of thousands of dollars in art markets.
Granato discovered the painting technique shortly after his grandfather died. He opened up his own studio at 20 years old due to growing demand for his unique style.
Each of the paintings is accompanied by a video that captures Granato's tearful artistic process.
A painting takes between 15 minutes to one month to complete.

Speaking of smiling, my SU markers make me smile! Seriously! I just love their vibrancy and ease of use. So today's post is another card using markers.
But what REALLY makes me smile, and it was purely accidental, is the background on this card. I wanted to create a background with words, and not having a background stamp like that, I used the Define Your Life stamp set and my Stamp-a-ma-jig to create my own! I love how it turned out. "Smile!"
After I made the background I didn't want to cover it up so I just added some simple pieces here and there including the flowers colored with markers!
All supplies are Stampin' Up!
- Country Morning stamp set - Hostess
- Define Your Life and Thank You Kindly stamp sets
- Kraft and Really Rust cardstock
- Really Rust designer paper - Hostess
- Watercolor paper
- Black Stazon and Chocolate Chip ink
- Various markers and a blender pen
- Designer Label, 1 3/8" circle, and Large Oval punches
- Rhinestone brad and Designer Filigree brad
- Big Shot and Beautiful Wings Embosslit - Occasions Mini
- Stamp-a-ma-gig

The National Leadership Seminar (NLS) is a weekend training program focusing on leadership development. Run by the Region Chief and his Advisers, it provides an in-depth look at leadership skills and techniques. An NLS discusses how these skills can be applied in your role in the OA and in other aspects of your life.
The NLS program is offered several times a year at various locations in each region. Scheduled dates are given on the National OA Program Calendar, and are published in the Order of the Arrow's National Bulletin. More detailed information is available from your lodge leaders, the Section Chief or Adviser, or the Region Chief or Region Chair.
Each region runs their own NLS program, so detailed information on upcoming NLS sessions is usually available on the appropriate region web site. (The region web sites can be reached from the Official Links page.)
If you are interested in attending an NLS, please contact your Lodge Chief or Adviser for registration information.
"I just returned from one of the greatest leadership courses around. The NLS course is a winner... "I didn't even get out of the room after the second or third session before I was putting the new knowledge to use. The use of movie clips to drive home points of leadership works well... "The Staff for the training was excellent. We were privileged to have our National Vice-Chief, the Region Chief, and several Section Chiefs and various members of the National OA Committee. A Great staff. "Well, I have now been given more useful tools to use to help the Arrowmen in my Council improve themselves and the Lodge. I feel a little less nervous about my own position....
"If and when you get the chance to attend a NLS, GO!"
Thanks to Section C-1B for permission to use some of the material on this page.

This book deals with the beauty and brutality of nature. Buck's gradual abandonment of his domestic nature is enthralling and heart breaking. Its a realistic harsh look at survival.

This woman doesn't deserve the right to still be allowed to call herself a "photographer." In March 2011, my husband came home from an overseas deployment to do a photo shoot, since we were unable to be married in person due to the military. I spent a fortune on a dress, hair, makeup, flight to the states, etc, and she shot (I'm assuming she actually took any pics) at trinidad bay. I paid her the shoot fee and she said give her a week or two. Weeks went by, started turning to months. I begged her in emails, phone calls, facebook, through friends and even her husband that I just wanted the pictures, it was the only thing I had of my husband, who had since returned to deployment. I can't imagine anything more cruel than to photograph a couple that is spending a precious few days together, then blow them off and refuse to even contact me again. I trusted her because she did a varsity football shoot at EHS when my son was a senior. I reported her to the BBB almost a year later hoping for a resolution, but she never responded to them. It's sad that someone like this is allowed to prey on vulnerable people who put all their hopes and wishes in her, and it is unbelievable how Christina Russ thinks that it's okay to treat anyone like that. She knew my husband was re-deploying and she knew these pictures were all I had. Yet for whatever twisted reason, she ignored me. It's been almost 3 years, and not a day goes by that I do not think about what she did to us. And I also know that she has never even given us a second thought, and if so it was only to laugh at how she suckered us out of money, and gave us nothing. So be careful dealing with this snake.
Well, I waited a year before revisiting this poor excuse for a restaurant, so that the poor service I received would have an opportunity to work itself out, but you still suck. Did I really just pay +$15 for this tiny, mediocre cheeseburger, 3 jalapeno poppers, and some cheese fries? $2.40 of it extra for fricking nacho cheese out of a dispenser to drown my fries? I will NEVER do it again. Last time I intended to give you a chance to explain or make it right, but when I called to complain that you messed up every part of my order other than the milkshake, the little turd that answered said, "Well, I made the milkshake, so I'm feeling pretty good about that,". Seriously? You're not even gonna APOLOGIZE? I just hung up, and avoided visiting you for a year, hoping that it was just a matter of bad timing. I was wrong: It is apparently a permanent fixture for you to hire incompetent kids that have yet to develop a work ethic.
And WTF is the difference between a double bacon deluxe cheeseburger and just a double bacon cheeseburger? Because I asked for no pickles, no onions on a deluxe, and I have two patties, a strip of bacon broke in half, and some cheese on top of a ketchup-smeared bun. What is deluxe about that? And since there's no difference, why couldn't we just use the bacon cheeseburger combo you had listed on the board, and just charge me extra for bacon? Oh, wait, I see on "Yelp!" that someone points out that lettuce and tomato make it a "deluxe", so you just generally screwed up my order as well as overcharged me. I have never in my life seen such poor standards, uninvolved cashiers, and overcharging, even though I am becoming used to the local Dumboldt-level of customer service. I will be visiting every review page I can find to explain and describe what failures anyone that visits can expect from Bob's Footlong, and how the name is only appropriate in how deeply you are gonna get screwed.
Really like this store. Staff is friendly and nice selection of gold and silver jewelry. One of the only places in Humboldt County to find leather goods.
Redwood Raks is awesome! This studio offers all sorts of dance forms from around the world, a whole bunch of social dance opportunities, and just an all-around wonderful collection of dance communities from across our area. Hope you can come soon!
Fun fact...... "raks" is Arabic for "dance" and is often spelled "raqs." It's pronounced like "rocks" ... not "racks." Now you know. :-)
I ate here a couple nights ago. The food was filling and tasty. I am glad this place is here and I will return to eat more! Yummy! A little on the pricey side for my tight budget, but worth it.
The glass of wine tasted like the bottle had gotten warm. They might consider keeping their wine in a cooler location.
I had the Param Long Sromg with tofu and the Golden Triangles. Yummy!
BTW, it's on W Street, not West Street ...
What a great venue!!! I have never seen a bad show at the Playhouse. The place is an amazing community asset!
This wonderful event begins at 12 noon rather than 1 p.m. Please pass the word---don't miss a single note of JAZZ in the GARDEN!

« Previous | Next »
Size Chart
Olive Drab BDUs also known as Battle Dress Uniform (BDU) has been the standard combat uniform for the armed forces of the United States military since the 1980s. Since it's introduction BDUs have been designed in various solid colors and camouflage colors, and have been adopted as the uniforms of various public safety organizations. These uniforms are called battle dress uniforms because they are intended for use during "battles", as opposed to "garrison" dress uniforms worn at parades and functions. Olive Drab BDU pants are usually designed with ankle drawstring, button fly and reinforced seat and knees and they generally have six pockets in total. The Olive variant of the BDU is exactly the same design as all other BDU clothing except the color is Olive. Olive Drab BDUs are usually made of polyester/cotton twill, cotton/polyester twill, and rip stop just to name a few. Rip-Stop is very resistant against tearing and ripping which gives it a favorable weight to strength ratio and prevents smaller tears and rips to spread further in the fabric. Olive Drab BDU are perfect for security guards, hunting, fishing, construction and other tactical squads.

Re: Will Thaksin follow other great leaders
What a funny notion to paint a blurry picture of Thaksin as a possible philanthropist, just as it would be to imagine the same for Sondhi or any number of Elites, who garnered wealth via corruption; to give any more than dribbles of their assets for charity.
[Good on anybody who can give away "MOST" of their money and still own private jets and estates on a few continents.]
IF 'charity' is a salient question for Thaksin, then it, surely, should be asked of others, as well.
I view charity by rich Thais to be way, way down on the "To Do List" for solving The Kingdom of Thailand's problems.
*Freedom, NOT wildness, of speech; *Apathy of the masses; *endemic Corruption by Officials, *Globalisation without Participation and *a Western borrowed, twisted political structure would have to be engendered before entertaining grandiose notions of largess by the Thai Upper Crust. [Class division is NOT the biggest problem.]

SDB:Hoe migreren naar een nieuwe versie van openSUSE
tagline: Uit openSUSE
Getest op openSUSE | Aanbevolen artikelen | Gerelateerde artikelen | |||
Inhoud |
[bewerken] Voorbereiding van de migratie
[bewerken] Reservekopie maken van uw gegevens
Uw gebruikers bevinden zich in /home/<username>. Dus om er zeker van te zijn dat er absoluut niets verloren gaat, moet u hier een kopie van maken op een extern medium. U zult van alles wat zich in /home bevindt een reservekopie moeten maken als u geen separate partitie hiervoor gebruikt.
Dit artikel is nog maar gedeeltelijk vertaald. Als u mee wilt helpen met vertalen lees dan Wiki vertalen naar het Nederlands. |
Backing-up data is a bit different than just copying. Make sure that you preserve the user and permissions of the files, if not you will end-up with read-only settings-files your new system cannot write to.
If you burn your files to a DVD, tell the burning application that you are doing a backup. In K3B you can do this in the dialogue that pops-up when you click on Burn by going to the Filesystem tab, clicking on the Advanced-button next to the filesystem setting and ticking the checkbox for Preserve permissions (Backup).
If you want to copy all of your user's files to an external harddisk, it's easiest to do it via a konsole. Make sure your external harddisk is mounted and accessible. If you did not change anything, it can be found in /media/<folder_of_your_external_harddisk>. You can find out by navigating through your system with your favourite filemanager. If you know the path to your external harddisk, just open a konsole and do:
$ su
- cd /home
- cp -r -b -vvv username_to_be_backed_up /media/<folder_of_your_external_harddisk>
This will copy the whole user's folder to the external harddisk. If you are logged in as the user whose data you copy to an external harddisk (not burning them), you should not have to worry about files' permissions.
If you just backup your own user, you do not need to use su.
[bewerken] Selective backup
Backing up everything is the safest method, but might not be necessary. You can copy files manually from your user's folder to the external harddisk. The tricky bit is to know which folder holds what data.
There are the non-hidden files, i.e. those you see, they are straight-forward. Yet there are some important ones that one might forget about.
your.username.revoke - If you created and published an encryption key, you need this file to revoke it
There are hidden folders and files as well. To see them, open your filemanager and enable Show hidden files, which in KDE's Dolphin is situated in the View-menu or can be toggled via ALT+..
The hidden files and folders' name start with a ".". You can back them all up or select those you know are important. Their names are mostly straight-forward:
.kde - KDE3 settings .kde4 - KDE4 settings .mozilla - Thunderbird/Firefox settings .gnome - Gnome settings .bogofilter - Bogofilter spam-tool settings .ssh - SSH key .gnupg - encryption keys for encrypting/signing emails and files, also used by front-ends such as kgpg. .ooox - OpenOffice settings .strigi - desktop search indices . . .
[bewerken] Remembering partitions
Your harddisk is divided into so called partitions. You might have one with your Windows on it, another for your Linux and yet another for your data.
To find out, open a konsole and execute:
You will see a list of all partitions. You need to write down their partition, e.g.
/dev/sda1 = /windows/C /dev/sda2 = / (Your linux sysstem) /dev/sdb1 = /home (your users) /dev/sdb4 = SWAP
If you do not see any /dev/sdX = /home but just /dev/sxyz = /, then you must backup all data within /home since everything in there will be lost! The reason is that a new installation will format the partition the main system is put on, i.e. the root/system partition (/). If your /home folder is not on another partition, i.e. does not have its own /dev/sdX, it is part of the system partition and thus lost when the latter is formated during the installation.
[bewerken] Installing
Make sure your webcam, printer etc. are attached and switched on, otherwise the installer cannot detect them.
Start the openSUSE installation and pick new Installation instead of Upgrade. The important bit about the installation is to make sure that the installer gets your harddisk partitions right. So check twice, if it assigns the correct mount-point to the partitions, i.e. that for the example above /dev/sda2 is mounted as /. Same for /home.
The installer will mark all partitions it will format with a F and red font-colour. Make sure it only formats / and not /home. If done correctly, this will result in a new installation of the linux system on '/ but your users, which are on /home will be preserved.
In case the installer wants to resize your partitions you will have to change its recommendation. Make sure to assign the existing partitions to the correct mount-points and only format /.
If asked for a username, pick the same username you used before, the installer will re-use your old data from /home/<username>.
[bewerken] Subsequent work
If everything went as expected you do not need to copy anything from your backup to you system, as everything in your users' folder was preserved.
However you do need to set-up system-wide things like printer and or graphics-drivers. You can do this via YaST.
For multimedia make sure you add the Packman repository, via YaST > Repositories > Add > Community Repositories > Packman. It holds packages like libxine1 which you need to update in order to play mp3 files. See opensuse-community.org/Multimedia for details.
Further articles on how to set-up your printer and other hardware can be found in the HOWTO's-section of this wiki.

Summary and Book Reviews
Ruby's Spoon: Summary and book reviews of Ruby's Spoon by Anna Lawrence Pietroni
Many a novel has begun with a stranger settling in a small town, but Anna Lawrence Pietroni has taken this familiar scenario and spun an intelligently conceived, atmospheric tale rife with maleficia, mermaid folklore, religious references... She revisits themes including revenge, the power of rumors, and the nature of cruelty (whether premeditated or simply reactionary) in ways that gradually reveal how certain characters share a common bond. Ruby's Spoon allows us to immerse ourselves in an enchanted place, and more poignantly, shows us what it truly means to support someone through any event, even when it endangers one's life. (Reviewed by Karen Rigby). Full Review (932 words). Media Reviews

Projects Selected to Advance Innovative Materials for Fossil Energy Power Systems
Washington, D.C. — Four projects that will develop capabilities for designing sophisticated materials that can withstand the harsh environments of advanced fossil energy power systems have been selected by the U.S. Department of Energy.
The projects will develop computational capabilities for designing materials with unique thermal, chemical and mechanical properties necessary for withstanding the high temperatures and extreme environments of advanced energy systems. These innovative systems are both fuel efficient and produce lower amounts of emissions, including carbon dioxide for permanent storage.
An effective way to accelerate research is to use advances in materials simulations and high performance computing and communications to guide experiments. Concurrent with the continuing drive to reduce costs and design cycle time in the manufacture of power plant equipment is an increase in the need for more materials property data demonstrating sufficient performance.
The total value of the four projects is approximately $5.1 million over three years, with $4.1 million of DOE funding and $1 million of non-Federal cost sharing. The work will be managed by the Office of Fossil Energy's National Energy Technology Laboratory.
The selected projects follow:

Cedar Key Arts Center Presents
Levy County Commissioner Mike Joyner wants homeowners and business owners to be alert to repair and construction scams by fly-by-night work crews that could leave them in worse off than they started.
Despite some bumps along the way, the Levy County Tax Collector has purchased an office building in Williston.
Lt. Scott Tummond, head of investigations for the Levy Sheriff's Office, said the best advice is for residents to deal with local vendors. "So if a problem arises they can call them back to do it right," he said.
The Cedar Key FFA donated another truckload of fresh vegetables to the Cedar Key Food Pantry.
The produce was grown in the gardens around the school by FFA members.
Recently, Cedar Key Arts Center members partnered with the Friends of the Lower Suwannee Refuge and took a trip to Seahorse Key with Dr. Jennifer Seavey to tour the laboratory and the Seahorse lighthouse, as well as the coastline and beaches of Seahorse Key. A few brave souls stayed overnight to continue talks on herpetology and ecology of this area.
M.T of Perry writes: My wife of 20 years has decided to divorce me. I don't want the divorce. Can I stop her?
The City of Williston has good news on the business front: The Levy County Tax Collector has purchased an office building in the city and a tourist destination, Blue Grotto, won approval of a land use change that may revitalize it.
Cedar Key School held its annual speech contest and these young orators finished at the top of their classes.
They now move on to countywide competition.

"So cozy and pleasant."
My husband and I had a great time. Used the inn's bikes to go for a spin through the vineyards. Had a private little patio with fountain and hummingbirds. It was lovely-wish we could have stayed more than two nights.Verifierad gästrecension
"Perfect weekend retreat"
Wonderful place for a Napa getaway. We had a great outdoor patio, hotel staff was friendly and accommodating, great wine/cheese hour and great breakfast!Verifierad gästrecension från Expedia
"Yountville Wine country inn"
Great location!Verifierad gästrecension
We went up for a special event of trying to obtain a reservation at the French Laundry! Staying at The Lavender could not have been a more exciting exprience! It was wonderful and Marion at the front desk could not have been more gracious, funny, knowledgeable about the area and just plain nice! Our room was excptional. We had a king room with a hot […] tub on the patio which was very relaxing. The whole house is very comfortable and the grounds are immaculate. The breakfast was wonderful and in the afternoon the wine and hors'derves were amazing. The other people staying there were very interesting and friendly. This bed and breakfast is only about a three minute walk around the corner to the French Laundry and very short walking distances to other restaurants and town. I would find it hard to find someone that was not 100% pleased with their stay. We wil defnitely return! MerVerifierad gästrecension
"Lovely hotel but rooms varied in quality"
We came to Lavender Inn as a group so had a few rooms. We were advised that as one of the rooms would be taken by two adults, my sister and my aunt, there was only one suitable. My poor sister was put on a sofa bed that did not accommodate an adult. When she complained the next day the gentleman checking her out laughed and said she was quite right […] that bed is only for children and should not be given to adults. For 250 a night and a twin room request I expect a little more courtesy. The other rooms were nice but we preferred Maison Fleurie up the road. Breakfast was excellent but not child friendly (we had young children). Maison Fleurie did a lovely job of balancing our needs and making us feel welcome whilst balancing needs (peace and quiet!) for other guests. MerVerifierad gästrecension

Marion was so helpful in explaining the area, wineries, and making us feel welcome.Verifierad gästrecension
"Cute B&B"
Liked the privacy of the rooms. The one we stayed had a separate fenced patio. Wished we stayed longer to enjoy it more. The room and bathroom were large and roomy. The breakfast was average. The Inn is very close to French Laundry if you decide to dine there. You can walk to it.Verifierad gästrecension

Our room was like a cozy little cabin. We just loved it. The staff was great (we especially loved Marion!) and, of course, location, location - an easy walk to everything. Can't wait to go backVerifierad gästrecension

Beautiful place. Nice room. Unfortunately for us, there was a construction project going on next door. Started early and lasted all day. I know this is an unusual situation, but definately annoying.Verifierad gästrecension
"Quaint setting situated in the heart of Napa"
We loved our stay at the Lavender Inn. Our room was exceptionally appointed with comfortable furnishings, private outdoor jacuzzi tub, gas fireplace (which we needed) and outstanding location in the heart of Yountville, one block from Bouchon and the French Laundry restaurants. The roses in the garden were in full bloom--a real treat for the eye and […] nose. The Victorian charm was oozing as we enjoyed the wicker chairs on the front porch while sipping on complimentary wine and devouring a wide array of appetizers. The next morning Rose Marie made us feel right at home during our delicious hot breakfast of a delicate homemade strata, fresh muffins and fruit. The service this hotel provides extended well after our stay when we received a phone call about a left behind golf shirt. They have packed it up to ship to our home without hesitation, complete with a chipper "Have a great trip!" Excellent service, excellent inn. MerVerifierad gästrecension
"Super charming Inn"
I wish our stay was longer than one night. We loved our room and the Inn, and wish we stayed another night to take more advantage of the place. Super charming place, in a great location inYountville. We'll definitely stay there again.Verifierad gästrecension från Expedia

This was a wonderful stay, in the upstairs room of the main house. The room was large with a gas fireplace , sitting room and jetted bathtub.

SIM card maker: Apple's design won standards effort
An Apple design did indeed prevail in a standardization struggle over a design for next-generation SIM cards, the tiny chips that let mobile phones identify themselves to wireless networks.
Apple had been duking it against Nokia, Research in Motion, and Motorola over the design of a fourth-generation, smaller SIM (subscriber identity module) card. On Friday, the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) settled on the design for this fourth form factor (4FF) SIM card, but it didn't say whose design won.
In an interview today, SIM card maker Giesecke & Devrient said Apple's design, unchanged since last year, is … Read more

Greenwood Post Office could see reduction in window hours
The Greenwood Post Office could see reduced window service hours in the future, according to a survey mailed to residents by the U.S. Postal Service last week.
The survey, dated Sept. 15, asks citizens to select their preferred choice from four options: keep the office open with window service hours changed from seven hours each weekday to four hours each weekday (Saturday hours will not change); do a "discontinuance" study for the office and provide roadside mailbox delivery, with retail and delivery service provided through a rural carrier; conduct a discontinuance study and find an alternative location operated by a contractor, usually a local business; conduct a discontinuance study for the office and relocate Post Office boxes to a nearby Post Office.
The survey also asks for preferences for window service hours, in the event they are reduced to four, and notes that the time when mail is delivered to mail receptacles will likely be affected by the range of hours selected.
Residents are asked to return the surveys by Oct. 10.
An informational meeting is scheduled at the Post Office for Oct. 24 at 4 p.m. A decision on options will not be made until after that meeting.
The survey was mailed from the U.S. Postal Service office in Portland.

Canucks lose game 1 to the Sharks 3-1.
Raffi on Corrado. SMACK. It was that kind of night.
It started out well, but went downhill fast in the third. The Canucks struck first, but gave up three straight goals in a 3-1 loss Wednesday night in Game 1.
After a scoreless first period in which San Jose outshot Vancouver 15-9, the Canucks got on the board at 12:26 of the second. Dan Boyle snapped a tie at 9:17 of the third period and Patrick Marleau added insurance less than 5 1/2 minutes
Canucks Henrik Sedin and Daniel Sedin combined for only four shots on goal. Alex Edler led the club with five.

A step ladder can walk (see: http://dottech.org/130701/self-walking-ladder-tries-escape-abusive-owner-video/), but a server is more intelligent, so it could have been making a break for freedom (and away from Win 8).

I especially like the reaction of the guy walking across the parking lot.

If servers are so intelligent, then why can't they count beyond the number one?
Ladders are much, much smarter: They have many steps to avoid such goofs and, if all else failed, they certainly would have rung for help.

Study: 3D Ads More Effective, Programs More Enjoyable Than Standard Fare
November 5, 2010: The young but burgeoning category of 3D TV has received a strong marketing vote of approval from a biased, yet influential, source. According to a study from ESPN Research + Analytics, 3D TV ads can be more effective than standard commercials, there is a higher level of viewer enjoyment and engagement with 3D telecasts and there were no adverse effects on depth perception (stereopsis) among the people who participated in the study.
The research was conducted by Dr. Duane Varan, professor of New Media at Murdoch University, during ESPN's coverage of the 2010 FIFA World Cup at the Disney Media and Ad Lab in Austin, Texas.
ESPN recently launched a 3D network and has been a major proponent of sports and entertainment programming in 3D. Parent company Disney also has a major stake in the future of 3D. The entertainment giant already has released in 3D such movies as Toy Story 3 and Step Up, with upcoming 3D Disney movies including Tangled and Tron:Legacy.
ESPN launched its 3D network to coincide with the 2010 World Cup, and has on its scheduled events including college football's ACC Championship (Dec. 4), college basketball's Jimmy V Classic (Dec. 7), the 2011 BCS National Championship game (Jan. 10, 2011), the Winter X Games (Jan. 27-30, 2011) and college basketball's Big East Tournament (March 8-12, 2011).
Several companies have aired commercials in 3D, including VIsa and Gillette, but the bulk of 3D spots currently are from the movie studios supporting their films. The NFL, NBA, MLB and Nascar are among the major sports entities that have had 3D events telecast. During Super Bowl XLIII in 2009, DreamWorks and PepsiCo's SoBe ran a 90-second spot for the movie studio's then upcoming animated release, Monsters vs. Aliens.
"The results from this comprehensive research project support what we have said time and time again: fans have a higher level of enjoyment when viewing 3D," Artie Bulgrin, svp- ESPN Research + Analytics, said in a statement. "Plus, for advertisers, this study provides good news on the level of fan engagement when viewing 3D ads."
Among the key findings:
• When showed the same ads in 2D and 3D, 3D ads produced significantly higher scores among participants across all ad performance metrics, generally maintaining a higher level of arousal than the 2D counterpart.
• Participants showed better recall of the ad in 3D:
• Cued recall went from 68% to 83%
• On average, purchase intent increased from 49% to 83%
• Ad liking went from 67% to 84%
Overall, results of the study showed a higher level of viewer enjoyment, engagement with the telecast and a stronger sense of presence with the 3D telecasts; and enjoyment increased from 65% to 70% in 3D while presence went from 42% to 69%.
According to ESPN, the research employed an experimental design approach including the use of perception analyzers, eye gaze and electrodermal activity. The study focused on a multitude of topics including overall viewing enjoyment, fatigue and novelty effects, technology differences, production issues and advertising impact. In all over 700 measures were processed during the testing. The Ad Lab used five different 3D manufacturers in its testing.
"This study will help us continue to develop ESPN 3D as an industry leader for event-based 3D viewing," said Bulgrin.

People who smoke appear to face a higher-than-average risk of needing bowel cancer treatment in the future, new research suggests. Scientists found that people who had smoked for over 40 years or who did not quit before the age of 40 were between 30 and 50 per cent more likely to develop bowel or rectal cancer during the study period. The researchers followed almost 185,000 people aged 50 to 74 years from 1992 to 2005 in order to make their observations, which are published in the journal Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention. The link between smoking and bowel cancer was apparent, even after alcohol consumption, lack of exercise and consumption of red and processed meat had been taken into account. Senior author Dr Michael Thun, from the American Cancer Society, commented: "This provides one more reason not to smoke, or to quit as soon as possible. "Colorectal cancer should be added to the list of cancers caused by smoking." While smoking is usually associated with lung cancer, it also raises the risk of several other forms of the disease, including cancers of the mouth, voice box, oesophagus, liver, pancreas and stomach.

Flycatchers, tongues, and sucking red light: Entering a parallel world during a studio visit with Fernanda Chieco
It is Friday afternoon, 5 pm. I am meeting Fernanda Chieco at her studio. She has set up her working space at her apartment, a clean-cut place dominated by simple shapes and a functional, clear design. I came across Fernanda's work at her gallery Leme in Sao Paulo, where I saw the piece "The anteater died under the bridge as soon as the wolf ate the giraffe's cherry" (2008) of the series Battle Fields. Looking like a war zone between movement and coming to a rest, the drawing is inhabited by simple-lined naked figures who execute their actions individually, following their own destinations and absorbed in their own world of thought. In the midst of the scene stands a giraffe-headed man who is urinating on a person cowering before him. The other figures are hit by cherries, suffering, apathetic, but all seemingly emotionless.
Intrigued by this scene entirely following its own logic, I contacted Fernanda for a studio visit. While we have coffee in her kitchen, she tells me about her work, her time studying at Goldsmiths College in London and her residencies in Bristol, UK and Ballinskelligs, Ireland.
Fernanda Chieco explains that she is interested in the functionality of things and the limitations reality imposes on us. Finding more freedom in drawing that offers possibilities, which in real life could not be implemented, the figures and constellations in her pieces also create doubts of whether they could really exist. Her compositions are arranged in a manner that remind of the large-sized mural paintings and frescoes in Italian Renaissance churches. The people in her drawings are connected in an elaborated system, which nevertheless does not allow for any direct communication between them. Tongues, which in Fernanda's narratives take on the role of the source of life, connect the people by coming out from and entering their mouths and anuses. Fernanda invented an own logic and system of rules for the universe she has created and that obeys her decisions. She has invented a world in which the tongue - as sticky as a flycatcher, lending its name to another series of works of which "Lizard watering the moss" (2009) forms part - can grow to an infinite length. In a question / answer section on her website, she explains the functioning of the tongue: It is the essential organ for the figures, whereby they can connect to other individuals. Those who do not possess a mouth or other way for the tongue to leave the body, have swollen bellies with rolled up tongue trapped inside of them. When a person dies, the tongue leaves the body and looks for another human's or animal's tongue to connect to in order to survive.
