Hello dear follow members of the Linux Mint community,
One thing I miss from Windows operating system is the ability to click and then copy the path for a folder via the Explorer handler. In Linux Mint it's called Nautilus. I wish to copy the path for a folder and then use that information in Terminal to do some experimenting with Java.
Now, I know the answer are on the web. But I cannot find a good search string to find it.
Today, when I open for example Documents, it looks like this:
But I want to know the pathway to this folder. Yes, I can right-click the folder "Documents" and then get the information. But Windows Explorer has such a easy way to do this. How do I change the settings so I can more easily mark the pathway in Nautilus?
Thank you for taking the time to look at my thread.
Yours Truly

Calzat Women's Victoria Boot
Calzat Women's Victoria Boot
Really stylish snow boots!
Great waterproof snow boot with a nubuck suede look/fabric. Look more like trendy boots than snow boots. True to size so good feet and couldn't be more pleased. Bring on the snow!
16 December 2013
This product is comfy and cosy
I bought this product as I am sick to death of having cold wet feet. These boots are very comfortable and keep my feet warm and dry. They can be warn with trousers tucked in or left out and they look great.
29 April 2013
Warm, comfortable & stylish.
Really pleased with these boots. I bought them for a family ski trip to the French Alps.
They were great for Après Ski - I wore them out to both bars & restaurants - and they even kept me warm watching a gig and a ski competition out on the snow on a cold night.
Walking across town to a friend's apartment via road and piste they remained comfortable & they zip on and off really easily.
I definitely have no regrets about my purchase, though I should point out that from the original photo I mistakenly thought that they were going to be some kind of soft leather type of material but they are not. With hindsight, it is of course better that they are not as they are much better suited to the weather conditions of a ski trip.....and to everyone else they still think that I am wearing nubuck boots!
18 April 2013
Comfortable and stylish and good value for money
Had complimentary comments from friends to style of boot, and found them comfortable and warm for flying to the USA and walking round the Florida theme parks on cold days.

Chien, the owner, is the kindest guy we've met, he helped us in any way possible, his service cannot be beat, the hostel is very clean, the breakfast is great, the service is just exaggerated, that's how much he tries to keep you happy, he even gave us food for the road when we left, price of rooms for what you get cannot be beat in hanoi, he can get you tours or bus tickets at the lowest price, and we had shopped around. Location is amazing right in old quarter, this hostel is a must stay!

Pros: is well located, they clean the room everyday, host very kind Contras: a bit noisy at night or early in the morning, old rooms, low pressure on the shower, you have tu pay a 2% more if you pay with credit card. I paid 19 dolars for the Tam Coc tour but there was people that pay 16 dolars for the same tour, so check in other agencies before booking there I think for that price you can get a better choice in Hanoi

Men face powder. Women powder the face. Thats how its always been.
If it were me, I might have acted flippant, but I would have been downright giddy that I took out some of those vermin.
Soldiers, officers and enlisted, use callous-sounding words to make what they do a little easier. It, by no means, signifies an indifference to death and dying.Just sleep beside one of these men for 35 years and you know how deeply they are affected by what they do. I thought Captain Wales spoke seriously and reverently (in soldier-speak) about his work.
That´s what he does for a living.Now, it makes it uncertain that Prince Charles is his father.
The taliban declared openly that they wanted to kidnap Harry and do what they like to do with him. He wanted to do his job and he did. Well done, Prince Harry, may you nation´s media come to your defense.
FTA: soldier's flippancy disguising the deadly seriousness of his mission.The same can be said of police officers, firemen and even nurses. If your job is dangerous or you deal with death on a daily basis, you cope anyway you can and if outsiders don´t like it, well ...
FTA... 'It is a big step to take another human life. It is not to be done lightly'.IMHO, the Taliban, Al Quada, et al do not qualify as human.
The Prince is a warrior. Warriors kill the enemy. What the hell do these weenies think they do? Retired Colonel.
I loved the way that #8 laid things out!! Thank you, Sir. You are BRILLIANT!!! And thanks for your service to our country as well.

One Bighorn Sheep, Two Bighorn Sheep…
The day we have all been waiting for has finally come. After months of meetings, organizing logistics, applying for permits, and purchasing equipment, we are heading to Rancho Picacho, our base camp in the Sierra Juarez in Baja California. For the next few days we will capture 15 bighorn sheep to equip them with GPS collars and to carry out a genetic and health assessment.
Peninsular bighorn sheep occur from the San Jacinto Mountains in California south into the Sierra Juarez and Sierra de San Pedro Mártir in Baja California. Habitat connectivity between San Diego County and northern Baja California is becoming increasingly compromised by roads, the border fence, urban development, and incompatible public recreational use.
Bighorn sheep populations in southern California and northern Mexico have long been assumed to be isolated, but recent field surveys carried out by San Diego Zoo Global have indicated that bighorn sheep do use the border areas and likely move between the two countries. However, to successfully move from north to south sheep would have to cross four lanes of traffic on two major highways; I-8 in San Diego and Highway 2 in Baja California.
For the next two years, bighorn sheep equipped with GPS collars will provide us with important data on their movement in relation to habitat features such as roads, human settlements, and habitat oases. The biological samples collected will help us to describe the genetic structure and connectivity of the population across the border. They will also be used to test for different diseases to evaluate the health of the population. The recent pneumonia epidemic among bighorn sheep in the Mojave Desert shows the importance of health studies like these to better understand disease outbreak and interactions of wild bighorn sheep populations with domestic livestock.
The capture team included biologists and veterinarians from San Diego Zoo Global and the Universidad Autonoma de Baja California, as well as a crew that specializes in helicopter captures. The first day was spent getting the equipment ready and setting up everything. The veterinary and wildlife disease team transformed an old shack into a laboratory with clean work areas, centrifuges, and liquid nitrogen tanks to process and store all the samples for further analyses in the Wildlife Disease Lab. We discussed the plan with the capture crew for the next day: we will be targeting bighorn sheep in the northern part of the Sierra Juarez, close to the Mexican border.
The next day started early with a cup of hot coffee, eggs, and handmade tortillas. By sunrise the helicopter was ready to take off for a reconnaissance flight. Soon they spotted two rams and were ready for the first captures. With the helicopter flying only 35 feet above ground, the net-gunner leaned out the door and shot a large net over the impressive looking ram. The net tangled in the large horns, but the animal kept running. The second net brings the ram to a stop and a "mugger" jumps out of the helicopter to blindfold it, tie its legs and get it ready for transportation.
The captured bighorn sheep were transported by helicopter a short distance to a processing area where a wildlife veterinarian, who collected samples for disease and genetic studies, could examine them. Each animal gets fitted with a GPS collar that will record hourly locations and receives an ear tag that will allow identification during future aerial and ground surveys. After a short time the animals were transported back to the capture site and released. Without the blindfold that keeps them calm, they quickly run off and disappear into the rugged terrain of the Sierra Juarez.
It's impressive to see the capture team at work. When the crew returned to refuel after about two hours of flight, they reported another two to three successful captures. By noon the next day we had successfully captured all 15 bighorn sheep. Everybody was excited that things went so smoothly, but I think that most of us would love to spend another couple of days in the field.

This may be a long post so I apologize in advance: I am getting married in July, and every bridal shop has told me that I really need to order my dress ASAP (and I understand since it can take a while to get in and whatnot). I've tried on numerous dresses but haven't found "the one"-you, know, where you put it on and know that it is perfect/can't help but smile at your reflection/etc. My mom works at a bridal shop so I tried one on there that I liked and decided to get it since I am running out of time, the check was written but the order was not placed. Here is where the problem comes in. I skipped class today to go to another bridal salon and found a dress that I absolutely fell in love with. The problem is that you can only order the dress through the specific salons that carry the line, not even through the manufactorer. This dress is much more expensive than the other and of course, there will be no discount. Here is my question:Do I stick with the "2nd best dress" since I will get a discount and it looks bad not to order the dress from my mom's place of employment OR get the dress of my dreams, although it is $1300?

I'm very much looking forward to putting my own songs up for download with the Rock Band Network. I'm a DIY type of guy, doing everything on my computer. Sometimes I'll record real drums and real bass, but generally the only thing real are the vocals and guitar, and sometimes the guitar isn't even real.
Anyway, a lot of times, I won't even have a bass track. No bass synth or anything; just guitar. My question is what would you, Rock Band players, would like those to be like. One solution is to go back and record bass parts. Or I could just not have a bass part, assuming we don't have to have a bass part in a song. And then there's songs of mine where there's 2 guitars, but no bass. In cases like that, maybe the bass would play the second guitar.
I'm not getting into RBN thinking I'm going to earn a profit or even gain popularity or whatever. I mostly want to do it just so I can play my own songs by myself and with friends. But I'm just wondering what other players would think about songs with no bass part.

Today's Daily App is one that some IT workers will wonder how they've managed without. TextWrangler for Mac OS X is a general-purpose text editor that also supports Unicode, the universal character set often used by developers for internationalizing applications.
Creator Bare Bones Software, based in Bedford, Mass., created TextWrangler specifically for Web authors, programmers and software developers seeking to localize their apps. The tool includes a selection of text-manipulation tools, such as line wrapping, case conversion and line numbering and the ability to insert the contents of other files into the current document. It can also edit documents residing on FTP and SFTP servers without manually downloading them to the Mac.
TextWrangler's Find and Replace feature allows for more free movement between open documents and the search window, rather than the conventional modal search dialog that requires findings to be completed before they can be replaced. The history of search-and-replace operations also is preserved, even after shutdown. For those familiar with regular expressions or grep pattern matching, TextWrangler allows for the construction of intricate search criteria for a more precise modification of the text. It also supports function navigation and syntax coloring for numerous source code languages, code folding, AppleScript and Mac OS X Unix scripting.
Additional editing capabilities are provided through the Find All feature, which presents a two-pane search-results window. The top pane populates the search results and the bottom pane highlights the string of selected text from the top, and the text can be edited directly in the search-result window.

Henrico's Top Teachers – Sharon Johnson
Weinstein JCC, preschool
The hardest part of being a preschool teacher, says Sharon Johnson, is that the end of the day comes too soon. After 25 years teaching at the Weinstein Jewish Community Center's preschool (where she got her start as an intern from the VCU School of Social Work), Johnson still finds it hard to accomplish everything in three hours -- and disappointing when she has to call a halt to the day's activities. "I get so much joy from being a preschool teacher," says Johnson, citing such favorite moments as seeing a child's eyes light up, or bringing smiles to her students' faces with something she said, did or taught them. "[But] there are times when the children are really engaged in exploring a lesson and we have to stop," she says. "Sometimes I am able to revisit [the lesson] the next day, but sometimes the interest or level of excitement has gone by then." Short day or not, Johnson gets an amazing amount accomplished in those three hours, say her colleagues. "Sharon has magical abilities," wrote a nominator. "Through her enthusiasm and generosity of spirit she touches so many lives of staff, children and parents." An inclusive program, the JCC preschool has many students with special needs, ranging from developmental delays, Down syndrome, autism, speech and language delays, and medically fragile conditions. But preschoolers of all abilities, ages, and backgrounds "flourish" in Johnson's care, wrote a colleague. "Sharon creates a warm, engaging classroom . . . [and] meets every challenge with a warmth and sense of purpose that reaches into the inner being of each child," said a nominator. "She teaches them to 'kiss their brain,' and rejoices in their accomplishments." While working with special needs children might be challenging, says Johnson, it's not nearly as hard as being the one who breaks the news to parents about a child's learning issues. But as a teacher of two-to-four-year-olds, Johnson is on the front lines, and more than once has had the difficult task of presenting her concerns when she recognizes a problem. "At times the parent may be hearing this information for the first time," says Johnson. "I have to be sensitive to the parents' needs while reassuring them that I will do everything that I can to support them and their child." But often, she adds, those newly-identified children turn out to be some of the most rewarding to teach. Not only can she watch them progress throughout the year, says Johnson, but their parents often return years later to thank her for making them aware of the delays and working with them on strategies – and to inform her of the child's successes since. Another group that frequently returns to the JCC to visit Johnson is made up of former students, who come as middle schoolers to volunteer in her class and as college students to work alongside her in the summer camp program. In many cases the college students are pursuing degrees in education, she says, and they remind Johnson of something positive she said or did as their teacher that helped lead to their decision to teach. For Johnson herself, the decision to teach did not come at one defining moment, but it was definitely influenced by an elementary school teacher she had named Mrs. Cason. "She made learning fun and showed a lot of genuine interest in each of her students," Johnson recalls. "She made me feel special by always taking the time to listen and encourage me in all aspects of my learning. "I did not know at that time that I would become a teacher one day," she adds, "but I did know that whatever I did, it would involve caring for children and families." Her colleagues will tell you that Johnson takes care of both, serving as a role model for children and as a mentor to parents as well as fellow teachers. "She is one of those rare teachers that can mesmerize children and their parents with her calm and gentle manner," said a nominator. "She deeply respects young children . . . [and] has left an indelible mark in thousands of children's lives." |

Among the recent success stories to put down roots in The Village is Estilo, created by the owners of the gastropub Toast (featured in a Feb. 21 review in the Citizen), only a few steps away.
Estilo – which translates to style – offers a taste of Peru, Chile and Bolivia, among other countries, and a menu that rotates regularly through the rest of Central and South America. > Read more.
Magic, on ice
Disney's Frozen shines as an instant classic
Disney has spent the past few years in search of that certain something; that 'Disney Magic.' It's been a slow process. From The Princess and the Frog to Tangled to Wreck-it Ralph, the studio took slow steps, welcoming its princesses and fairy tales and musical numbers back into the fold. Every film was an improvement on the last, but none of them had anywhere near the charm or lasting appeal of the early '90s highs of the "Disney Renaissance."
Frozen, by far, is the House of Mouse's best attempt at a new Little Mermaid. > Read more.

We stayed here for a night, and i was surprised at how clean it was. My fiance says the shower curtain wasn't as clean as she would like, but I didn't notice it.

Artist hopes to preserve history through sculpture
Date: January 3, 2013
by: Nick Friedman | Community Editor
Greg Marra, a classically trained sculptor, wanted to carve his niche within his line of work, so, the New Jersey native combined his two loves: preserving history and molding clay into works of art.
A practicing artist since 1998, Marra was originally a painter, who traveled to Europe to study. He didn't begin sculpting until he experienced an eye-opening encounter with another artist in 2001.
"I shook the hand of a well-known painter, and I knew I wasn't meant to paint," says Marra. "I needed to do something more physical. It seemed simpler to me — it's one color; it's three-dimensional. It (scuplting) was my calling."
Marra says that when it comes to keeping history alive, the power of a statue shouldn't be underestimated.
"Statues are extremely powerful," he says. "They can define and conclude how people perceive an entire war. They can set the tone for the rest of the country."
In 2008, while Marra was in Zohor, Slovakia, he experienced this power firsthand. He was working for a construction company, owned by his wife's family, when one of the employees told him about an American B-24 bomber who had crashed nearby during World War II.
Driven by his love of history, Marra went to see if he could find the crash site. Much to his surprise, he discovered a monument had been built to commemorate the airmen who died in the crash. It had become overgrown with brush.
"I just felt compelled to clean it up and hang up American and Slovak flags," says Marra. "I could feel the impact, smell the jet fuel and sense the energy at the monument. It made me think about the sacrifice of our soldiers."
After doing some research, Marra learned that after the plane crashed in 1944, the people of Zohor conducted a secret funeral to honor the deceased pilots. By recognizing members of the U.S. military, Marra says the Slovaks were taking a big risk. In 1995, the monument was erected, and a tombstone, which had been hidden since the war, resurfaced and was added to the memorial.
In November, Marra received a phone call from a Pennsylvania man named Ray Hadden, whose father was the tail gunner in the downed bomber. As Hadden was doing online research on his father, he stumbled upon an article detailing Marra's efforts to clean up the monument. Hadden thanked Marra and informed him that none of the airmen's families had known the memorial existed.
After their conversation, Marra decided that he wants to thank the people of Zohor for their bravery by building two matching statues — one to be placed in each country.
"I think a gesture like that would be really special," says Marra. "Everyone knows that the Statue of Liberty was a gift to us. Shouldn't we get in the habit of doing the same? I think people need to know the story of what a little town in Europe did for us 68 years ago."

- Your feature article, highlighting Greg Marra, was so interesting and inspiring. The combination of his artistic talent and passion by acknowledging the toils of war through sculpture creates living legacies for generations to reflect and remember.
History is more than a lesson from a book, but, a real life event fought by men and women heroic to fight for their dreams. The poignant story of Greg Marra, discovering the statute in Zohar, Slovakia, cleaning i up and bringing to "life" those that served by his endeavors was a joyful story.
Thanks so much for sharing. Kudos to Greg.
