Canonical Declares Victory on Ubuntu's No. 1 Bug
Jun 3, 2013 5:00 AM PT
Declaring a thing may not make it so, but it certainly gets tongues wagging.
Case in point: Canonical's announcement last week that Ubuntu's longstanding Bug No. 1 -- which read simply, "Microsoft has a majority market share" -- has now been closed.
"Personal computing today is a broader proposition than it was in 2004: phones, tablets, wearables and other devices are all part of the mix for our digital lives," explained Canonical founder Mark Shuttleworth in a comment last week. "From a competitive perspective, that broader market has healthy competition, with iOS and Android representing a meaningful share.
"We have both competition and good representation for open source in personal computing," Shuttleworth added. "Even though we have only played a small part in that shift, I think it's important for us to recognize that the shift has taken place. So from Ubuntu's perspective, this bug is now closed."
'Definitely Not Fixed!'
Did the Linux-loving masses have thoughts to share on that bold declaration? You bet your market-share statistics they did -- on Slashdot, on InternetNews and beyond.
"Bug #1 is definitely not fixed, Mark!" began blogger Robert Pogson, for example. "There are still places on Earth where if you want a computer with a keyboard and mouse, a consumer has to pay M$ for permission to use some hardware the consumer buys from retail shelves.
"While Ubuntu GNU/Linux has made inroads on that, more work remains to be done before the bug can be called fixed," Pogson opined.
'There Is a Market'
On the other hand, "2013 offers another great opportunity to break through the barrier," he suggested. "'8' is not selling. Big, expensive PCs are not selling. Retailers know that. They are ready to try something else.
"They have choices like small cheap PCs running GNU/Linux on ARM, GNU/Linux docks for smartphones, and GNU/Linux on x86/amd64 tablets, smartphones, notebooks, thin clients and yes, even desktops," Pogson pointed out.
"The problem is not one of capability but imagination," he concluded. "Keep pushing the product. There is a market for it."
'I'd Propose Bug PatentTroll'
Slashdot blogger yagu had a like-minded view.
"I still want to see a day where some reasonable percentage of computers are non-Microsoft," yagu told Linux Girl. "Today it's Microsoft if you're buying a computer (unless you're in an Apple store). It's Android if you're buying a phone, Windows Phone if you're buying a phone and you're stupid (I mean that in most respectful way -- consumers fall prey to wrong tech choices all the time because marketing trumps deep understanding of product)."
Also, "if they want to close #1, I'd propose opening bug PatentTroll," he suggested.
"Consider that it's entirely possible Microsoft is making more money from Android phone sales than from Windows Phones sales simply by dint of extortionist sealed licensing pacts with Android phone manufacturers," he explained. "It's reminiscent of the contracts with PC makers whereby companies like Dell still had to pay a Windows OS license on any PC sold whether it shipped with Windows installed or not. Not okay."
In any case, "I suppose when they do regression testing on the #1 bug fix they could deem it 'not fixed' at some point and re-open it," yagu concluded. "I'd consider it 'in progress' still."
'Very Disappointing'
"At least he is being honest about thinking the desktop is irrelevant," consultant and Slashdot blogger Gerhard Mack told Linux Girl. "But for those of us who need to get work done, we still need a Linux distro that allows that."
Google + blogger Alessandro Ebersol had a stronger view.
"IMO, Mr. Benevolent Dictator is a trickster," Ebersol told Linux Girl. "He never really wanted that bug to be fixed, or else he would have been more aggressive in his market decisions. He wanted to create a brand and then sell it to a major company. Seems that didn't work out well... Yet."
Shuttleworth "has always been shy regarding the markets," Ebersol said. "Seems he was afraid to face MS dominance in the desktop, and RH dominance in the server side. So, his statement that bug #1 is fixed is very disappointing.
"I believe he used the hatred against MS to rally the troops of Free Software, but in the end his own actions were the determining factors, and he didn't address the real issues (commercial software, pre-installed Ubuntu, OEMs backing the company, and the list goes on...)," Ebersol concluded. "Even now, with the Ubuntu phone and TV, those seem like distant promises."
Nevertheless, "I, for one, wish him and the company he owns all the luck, because there are very important projects that rely on Ubuntu as a base," he pointed out.
'It May Limp Along'
Slashdot blogger hairyfeet was even more skeptical.
"BWA HA HA HA HA HA, oh they are serious? BWA HA HA HA HA," hairyfeet began.
"In case they haven't kept up on current events, the planet seems to be going walled gardens, MSFT still owns over 90 percent of the desktop and if Apple rams through DRM into HTML V5 (which I'm betting they will) you are gonna have locked down Apple, locked down Google, and locked down MSFT dragging up the rear," he explained.
"Oh and I'd like to point out that I did call that Ubuntu would be gone by 2016," hairyfeet added. "It may limp along as a niche server product for a year or two after that, but on the desktop they'll be done, and this move fits my prediction perfectly.
"After all, they can't bail on desktops if bug 1 still exists without major egg on their face, so moving the goalposts and declaring it 'closed' -- when in reality the numbers really haven't changed a bit -- lets them save a little face when they later say, 'We are giving Ubuntu to the community,'" he suggested. "Translation: We can't afford to keep it so here ya go, do all the work for free while we take a few good bits for Ubuntu Sever."
The move gives Canonical "an exit from the desktop they've not been able to make a cent off of," he added.
Bottom line? "Goodbye Canonical -- say hi to Xandros/Linspire, Mandriva and all the rest that tried to make a better desktop in Linux Heaven," hairyfeet concluded.
'I Don't Think That's the Case'
Not everyone took it that far, however.
"I think this is representative of Canonical's shift in priorities more than anything else," offered Linux Rants blogger Mike Stone.
"Shuttleworth claims that it's the rise of Android that leads him to close this bug, but I don't think that's the case really," Stone explained. "I think this more points to the fact that the desktop PC is becoming less of a priority for Canonical.
"Microsoft still dominates the desktop computer market, and they're still as evil as they've ever been," he added. "The only thing that's really changed about that scenario is many people care less than they used to because there's been a significant move to other form factors where Microsoft doesn't dominate."
Shuttleworth, apparently, "counts himself among those people," Stone said. "Considering Canonical's shift into the phone/tablet/TV markets, it's not really all that surprising."
'Dragging Others to the Grave'
On the "'market side of life,' you have to do your own propaganda and say, 'the king is dead, God save the king'," began Google+ blogger Gonzalo Velasco C.
"M$ is not dead," he opined. It "is surely sick, but still dragging many others to the grave as it falls: pressuring OEM brands to ship their buggy OS and a trial version of their bloated Office, planting FUD about GNU/Linux, buying whatever could be a foe or a friend of their enemies, etc."
Of course, "on the phones side, yes, they were defeated," he conceded.
In any case, "Shuttleworth is right when he says, 'it's better for us to focus our intent on excellence in our own right, rather than our impact on someone else's product,'" Gonzalo Velasco C. opined. "Canonical is trying to make Ubuntu a hit and influences more than a dozen other well-known distros. Perhaps this is Mark's way to shake M$ and make them taste their own poison. :-D"
'Its Days Are Numbered'
The bug is not closed, Slashdot blogger Rodolfo Saenz told Linux Girl.
Nevertheless, "there is a statistical tendency that is manifesting, like when we are in election day when the president is announced hours before all the votes are accounted for," he explained.
In this case, "I base my analysis on two factors," Saenz said. First, "PCs (the major force of Microsoft OS) are becoming less and less necessary, but they are still needed," he pointed out.
Second, "Linux's reliability and stability are becoming known to the masses through Android smartphones, tablets and other gadgets, not just to technology-savvy people like they were before," he noted. "They can see the OS is faster and does not crash so often as is the case with Windows."
Increasingly, "more commercial developers will realize this and will begin making software for Linux, not just Windows," Saenz concluded. "If Microsoft does not reinvent itself and become less rigid and closed-sourced, its days are numbered."
'Bravo, Mark - Carry On'
Last but certainly not least, Google+ blogger Brett Legree was perhaps most sympathetic of all to Canonical's declaration.
It may still be true that "if I go into any local PC store, I cannot find a machine without any proprietary software," Legree told Linux Girl. "However, I think this kind of thinking misses the point of Mark's comment."
Specifically, "closing the 'bug,' focusing on the good work that they can do and what they can bring to the world rather than attacking another company or product -- this is a good thing," he opined. "I believe that many in the free software world -- in fact, the world at large -- could learn from this."
Legree's suggestion: "If you want me to use your product or service (and maybe even pay you for it), then tell me all that is good about it," he said. "Tell me why you use it by showing me how it could help me to improve things in my life, or how it has already done this. Tell me about all of the great things that use Linux-based operating systems, from smartphones to supercomputers and beyond.
"Please don't tell me that using Windows is stupid or wrong or limits my freedom -- and heaven forbid, don't call me an iSheep because I also happen to use Apple products alongside Windows and GNU/Linux and *BSD and Android," he added. "You don't know everything about my life and you don't know what I need to get things done, so don't pretend to know what is best for me."
In short, "I say, 'Bravo, Mark -- carry on."

Leading trainer says even fearful dogs can be helped with gentle approach
Of all the dogs that nationally known dog trainer and author Nicole Wilde helps, fearful animals are close to her heart.
"This is the issue that is so, so important," the California-based Wilde said Friday. "At stake is the dog's quality of life and even whether or not it will have a home."
That's because a very large proportion of what people call aggression issues actually is fear-based, she said. "Its like, 'hey, big person, stay away, stay away,'" she explained.
Wilde, who has written a book titled "Help for Your Fearful Dog," will present an all-day training workshop June 12 at the Humane Society of Boulder Valley focused on helping fearful dogs. Attending will be a variety of animal care professionals, but Wilde hopes everyday dog owners will come, too.
"I love it when owners come," she said. "They leave with specific techniques to help their pets."
Wilde operates a company called Gentle Guidance in Santa Clarita, Calif. She presents seminars around the world to trainers, rescue/shelter workers and dog owners. She has written eight books and writes an Ask The Expert column for Modern Dog magazine.
She believes there are a number of reasons dogs can be fearful. One is simply genetics, possibly due to over-breeding. Maybe the animal has been traumatized. The biggest problem may be that the pet has not been adequately socialized with people and other dogs.
"The window for optimal socialization is 4 to 12 weeks of age," Wilde said. "You can socialize a dog after that, but it is more difficult."
Training based on force won't work, she said.
"Be patient and work at the dog's pace," Wilde explained. "You're not forcing the dog to confront its fears. Introduce the dog to things in a gradual manner."
She describes this as desensitization, which is done hand in hand with classical conditioning, a principle developed by the Russian scientist Pavlov.
Shelter dogs are not necessarily more fearful, Wilde said, even though some may suffer separation anxiety as a result of being abandoned.
"If you get a dog as a puppy you have a better shot," she said. "But even if a shelter dog has fear issues, you still can make progress."
Wilde may be at the top of her profession, but she served her time in the trenches.
"A lot of my background came from training wolf-dog hybrids," she said, "I worked for a shelter and even went to people's homes for free. My whole goal was to help them keep those animals. This
is why I got into it."
But she had to work outside jobs to keep her efforts going, so she formed Gentle Guidance.
Wilde is a former faculty member and is on the advisory board for the Companion Animal Sciences Institute.

Help Battered Women
The Denver-based American Humane Association is seeking votes for its Pets and Women's Shelters (PAWS) Program, which is in the running for a $250,000 grant through the Pepsi Refresh Project to give domestic violence victims and their pets a safe place to go. With the grant, AHA can create 100 PAWS Shelters nationwide, and give domestic violence victims — and their pets — a safe refuge.
June is the American Humane Association's Adopt-A-Cat Month. This year, American Humane has partnered with the CATalyst Council to promote cat adoptions during the busy kitten season and to encourage a lifetime of proper veterinary care for all cats. Every spring and summer, cats reproduce in record numbers, and millions end up in animal shelters. Local shelters are brimming with cats of every breed, age and personality waiting for a home.

Ivar Jacobson is a father of components and component architecture, use cases, aspect-oriented software development, UML, and the Rational Unified Process. Bertrand Meyer is one of the pionners of object technology and the designer of the Eiffel method and language. He is Chief Architect of Eiffel Software and Professor of Software Engineering at ETH Zurich.
For someone in search of a software development method, the problem is not to find answers; it's to find out how good the proposed answers are. We have lots of methods -- every year brings its new harvest -- but the poor practitioner is left wondering why last year's recipe is not good enough after all, and why he or she has to embrace this year's buzz instead. Anyone looking for serious conceptual arguments has to break through the hype and find the precious few jewels of applicable wisdom.
In this note we argue that work on software development methodology must undergo a profound transformation. It should renounce its current reliance on fashion and political-style propaganda, turning instead to a serious scientific endeavor based on theory and experimental validation.
Fashion, Politics, or Engineering?
Software methodology is a strange field. In principle it should be a science-based engineering discipline, but in practice it looks at times like the fashion industry, and at time like politics.
As in the fashion industry, every new year brings a new style, and in their hurry to keep up people throw away the good with the bad. Instead of learning from their own experience, they start with something they believe must be better since everyone else says it's better. Contrary to the complaint -- common among innovators -- that large companies are slow to embrace change, many are eager to try out new things; the true problem is that they abandon them even more quickly, discarding expensive investments in processes and tools before having had a chance to apply them seriously. Everything is marketed to the trend setters and early adopters. We accept this for clothing, but with the size of our software investment and its importance for society this is wasteful and irresponsible.
As in politics -- more accurately, bad politics -- the emphasis is not on substantial solutions to hard problems, but on slogans, propaganda, and emotions. Ideas are not presented through careful discussions of pros and cons, but marketed like brands; they are spread by gurus delivering the Holy Word. Each approach tries to ignore its neighbors; if it has to acknowledge them, it is usually to berate them. The practitioner is left to wonder whom to believe.
In the end few new ideas ever get applied on a large scale, so that little changes in what counts: quality, productivity, and lead time in the development of large systems. For all the hoopla in software methods over the past 40 years, only a handful of major innovations -- structured programming, object technology, design patterns, UML, and so on -- have truly affected how the industry works.
These are signs of immaturity. The discipline needs to become adult.
The latest wave to sweep the industry is "agile". Agile methods have made a number of significant contributions and reminded us of the central role of people in software engineering. Some of the agile lessons are likely to remain in future methods.
At the same time, the agile field provides a vivid example of some of the phenomena cited above. For a movement that values people over process and tools, agility has given us many processes and tools advertised as "new", without making the effort to describe what is truly different and what is a restatement of known ideas. Practitioners are understandably confused. Regardless of the value of the ideas, it is striking to see how they are promoted: the elegantly written foundational document of the approach is a "manifesto", long on emotional appeals in the first person plural ("We have come to value") and short on facts. This style may be effective to capture attention, but as ideas mature it should yield to more traditional (even if also more boring) forms of argumentation.
In engineering and science, the originators of a new technique -- eager, like any other human beings, to promote their invention -- are careful to work out where its application is inadequate or unproven Few software methodologists bother with such intellectual safeguards. Too many exaggerate the differences with previous approaches. For one paradigm shift (such as object technology), how many supposed breakthroughs are adaptations of known ideas? There is nothing wrong with incremental improvements; much of the progress in science and engineering happens that way. But it makes no sense to disguise every increment as a revolution.

Something terribly wrong has happened with civilization in the short films of Factory Fifteen.
In "Megalomania," a simple construction project has seemingly fallen out of control, metastasizing to every corner of the urban landscape. Buildings are choked in thick jackets of scaffolding, dwelling units cling like barnacles to the side of a Ferris wheel and mountain-sized towers stretch into the clouds as if trying to reach the moon. Just who's doing all the building is a mystery. The only living thing presented in the animated film is a bird, adding to the imaginary city's sublime creepiness.
In "Gamma," there is plenty of life, although it's not the kind you'd want to hang out at a bar with. Set in the years after a nuclear war destroyed eastern Europe, the story details a shady corporation's mislaid efforts to clean up radioactive waste. The creatures the company uses to eat the gammafied rubble turn out to have a nasty side: They spread like a scaly, evil fungus all over buildings, periodically ejecting streams of milky vomit. Although the narrative has holes and the editing recalls a political advertisement, Factory Fifteen's choice of shooting the movie in the contaminated ruins of Pripyat adds immensely to the unease.
It's hilarious that these dystopian visions of humankind's demise are being produced by the same firm that does cheery, bright renderings of commercial projects. I guess the money has to come from somewhere? Anyway, whether they're crafting 3D animations of a new city square or a crazy robot riot in NeoLondon, the team behind Factory Fifteen – architects Jonathan Gales, Paul Nicholls and Kibwe Tavares – ooze 50-gallon drumloads of imagination. Here's hoping somebody gives them a suitcase stuffed with money to pursue their sci-fi dreams in feature length.
Oh, right, about that robot riot: Here's the description of "Robots of Brixton" from the Fifteen guys, and below is the actual film:
Brixton has degenerated into a disregarded area inhabited by London's new robot workforce - robots built and designed to carry out all of the tasks which humans are no longer inclined to do. The mechanical population of Brixton has rocketed, resulting in unplanned, cheap and quick additions to the skyline.
The film follows the trials and tribulations of young robots surviving at the sharp end of inner city life, living the predictable existence of a populous hemmed in by poverty, disillusionment and mass unemployment. When the Police invade the one space which the robots can call their own, the fierce and strained relationship between the two sides explodes into an outbreak of violence echoing that of 1981.

Teen sentenced in real estate agent's murder
Ali Cubba admitted killing Yuri Ives
A Kansas City teenager has been sentenced for killing a real estate agent after the two met through an ad on Craigslist.
The Jackson County prosecutor's office said Friday the sentence for 19-year-old Ali Cubba includes 15 years for second-degree murder and 10 years for armed criminal action. The sentences will be served concurrently.
Cubba pleaded guilty earlier to killing 48-year-old Yuri Ives in March 2011 at the older man's renovated historic mansion in the city's Northeast neighborhood.
The two met through a personal ad Ives placed on Craigslist and exchanged emails arranging to meet. Authorities said Cubba went to the home intending to rob Ives, who was shot and stabbed in a struggle.
A co-defendant who drove Cubba to Ives' home is awaiting sentencing.

Change AutoRecover Interval in Office 2007
Share Printer Friendly
Text Size: A A A A
AutoRecover is a Microsoft Office feature that will keep you from losing work in the event of a system crash or power outage by automatically saving your document at certain time intervals.
You can easily change the interval when data is saved to have it save more often. This can be a lifesaver if disaster strikes and you lose the document you were working on.
We'll be using Microsoft Word for this example, but the options exist in all of the Office applications. Just click on the Office button in the top left corner, and choose "Word Options".
One of the things to keep in mind is that if you are working on larger documents, setting the AutoRecover to something like 1 minute might start to slow your computer down, since saving a large document in the background every minute will tax your computer.

Flashy Gray, a winner of two of three career races for Hall of Fame trainer Bill Mott but untested in top level competition, emerged as a somewhat surprising fans' choice over the "All Others" (#24) betting interest, reigning 2-year-old filly champion Beholder (#1) and unbeaten stakes winner Unlimited Budget (#23) when three days of betting concluded early Sunday evening in Churchill Downs' 2013 Kentucky Oaks Future Wager ("KOFW").
West Point Thoroughbreds and Tom Keithley's daughter of Flashy Bull, a 15-1 risk in the morning line odds established by Churchill Downs handicapper Mike Battaglia, attracted strong support during the final hours of betting and stood as the 6-1 favorite among 24 betting interests in the three-day pool that closed at 6:30 p.m. (Eastern) Sunday.
Flashy Gray, one of four Mott-trained fillies in the KDFW pool, edged the popular Mutuel Field (#24), or "All Others', for the position of betting favorite. That interest, which features all 3-year-old fillies other than the 23 individual horses listed on the pool's betting roster, closed as the close 7-1 second choice. Battaglia had installed the "All Others" interest as the 3-1 morning line favorite prior to the pool.
Beholder (#1, 8-1), the winner of the Grey Goose Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies (GI) who returned to championship form for trainer Richard Mandella in a 5 ¾-length victory in Saturday's Las Virgenes (GI) at Santa Anita; Unlimited Budget (#23, 9-1)., the Demoiselle (GII) winner who made the recent Rachel Alexandra (GIII) at Fair Grounds her third victory in as many starts for two-time Kentucky Oaks-winning trainer Todd Pletcher; and trainer Ken McPeek's Hollywood Starlet (GI) winner Pure Fun (#15, 10-1), were just behind the top pair when the pool wound to its close.
The Kentucky Oaks Future Wager offers racing fans an opportunity to bet on potential contenders for America's premier race for 3-year-old fillies well in advance of the event at odds that could be significantly more attractive than that that will be available on Oaks Day at Churchill Downs. . The 1 1/8-mile Kentucky Oaks will be run for the 139th consecutive year on Friday, May 3, the eve of the Kentucky Derby. The race will be televised on the NBC Sports Network.
Kentucky Oaks fans wagered $126,039 in the 2013 pool, a record for the wager in its single-pool format. The previous standard of $117,368 was established in 2003, the first year in which the Oaks Future bet was offered. The bet expanded to a three-pool format to mirror that of its companion Kentucky Derby Future Wager from 2004-2008, but reverted to its one-pool format in 2009.
Like the Kentucky Derby Future Wager, the Oaks Future pool offers $2 minimum win betting and exacta wagering, which is available in the form of $2 minimum straight exacta bets or $1-minimum exacta boxes and part-wheels. No scratches or betting refunds are permitted in the Kentucky Oaks Future Wager, but betting on an individual filly will be suspended immediately if Churchill Downs determines that an injury, illness or other circumstance revealed during the pool would prevent that horse from competing in the Kentucky Oaks.
The Mott-trained Emollient (#6), runner-up in the Demoiselle (GII) last fall at Aqueduct, was strongly backed on the final day of Oaks Future betting and finished just behind the top group at odds of 11-1. Other Mott trainees featured in the 2013 Oaks Future bet were Calistoga (#3, 22-1) and Close Hatches (#4, 29-1).
Two-time Kentucky Oaks winner Bob Baffert trains three fillies the Oaks pool: recent maiden winner Midnight Lucky (#14, 16-1), Las Virgenes runner-up Fiftyshadesofhay (#8, 20-1), and Executiveprivilege (#7, 23-1), whose impressive 2-year-old campaign in 2012 included Grade I victories in the Del Mar Debutante and Santa Anita's Chandelier.
Other fillies that attracted solid support in the just-completed Oaks Future bet included Live Lively (#10, 15-1), winner of the Davona Dale (GII) at Gulfstream Park for trainer Mark Hennig; and the Pletcher-trained duo of Dreaming of Julia (#5, 16-1), winner of Belmont Park's Frizette (GI) who was second in both the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies and the Davona Dale; and Princess of Sylmar (#12, 19-1), whose four-race win streak includes stakes wins in the Busanda and Busher at Aqueduct.
Information on the Kentucky Oaks is available online at the official event Web site at www.KentuckyOaks.com and KOFW real-time odds will be presented on that site throughout the three-day betting pool.

I don't do giveaways often but when I do, I make sure it's something I know my readers will really love. I've been a longtime fan of the bilingual animated series El Perro y El Gato on HBO Latino & HBO Family, so when they asked me if I wanted to giveaway their new DVDs, it was a definite "¡Sí, señor! … (actually, it was a woman who contacted me… but nevermind.)
As for the DVDs – I really can't tell you how much the kids and I love these, (and at almost 13 and 10 years old, they are definitely not pre-schoolers, so I can only imagine how much even younger kids adore these characters.) My younger son watched one of the DVDs with his visiting nephew yesterday and they both laughed and repeated things in Spanish every few minutes.
If you haven't seen the show before, here's one of the episodes that has aired on TV:
Here's some more information from the press release:
El Perro Y El Gato…offer valuable lessons from a lovable, overexcited orange dog (El Perro) and his laid-back, always hungry pal, a purple cat (El Gato). The specials help children to learn a new language in a playfully quirky, humorous, and engaging way. The El Perro Y El Gato titles will be available on August 9, 2011 for the suggested retail price of $9.95 each.
As a cat and dog, El Perro Y El Gato may have different worldviews, but they are still best buds – and totally bilingual. Featuring lots of vibrant colors, catchy music and plenty of attitude, the specials show the friends in their daily routines as they tackle problems and mount wonderful adventures that create non-stop fun and laughter – all the while teaching kids how to speak in English and in Spanish. New episodes of El Perro y El Gato returns to HBO Latino on September 15th at 7am and on HBO Family September 18th at 6:30pm.
Now for the chance to win your own set of the new El Perro y El Gato DVDs!
I will be selecting -THREE- (Sí, ¡tres!) random winners. EACH winner will receive the entire set of 4 DVDs which includes:
El Perro y El Gato: La Aventura Comienza/The Adventure Begins
El Perro y El Gato: Sin Correa/Unleashed
El Perro y El Gato: Juntos Otra Vez/Together Again
El Perro y El Gato: De Aquí Para Allá/From Here to There
For a chance to win watch the video [above] and then leave a comment telling me which character is your favorite – El Perro, or El Gato, and why. Make sure you use a valid E-mail address so that if you win, I will be able to contact you. If you're a winner, you must be able to provide a shipping address in the U.S.
Buena suerte/Good luck!
Giveaway comment entries will be accepted until: 11:59 pm EST on Thursday, August 11th, 2011. Winner to be announced here and contacted via E-mail on Friday, August 12th, 2011.
The winners are:

NeNee's Soft Blankies Arctic Sea
100% cotton flannel with 100% cotton fabric. Pre-shrunk.
NeNee's Soft Blankies have been a tradition in our family for over 52 years, when they were first made by my mother for my eldest sister. They have been requested by generation after generation of friends and family because of their softness, durability, and size. Made to be durable, all of NeNee's Soft Blankies are constructed of 100% cotton flannel and 100% cotton material and are machine washable. The corners are rounded (because square corners easily wear through) and they are double stitched (though you will only see the finished top stitch). They are generously oversized, averaging 42" x 42" (a bit of variation is due to the handmade quality of the item). This makes swaddling larger infants much easier and covers more of a toddler than standard receiving blankets.
NeNee's Soft Blankies come to you ready to use.
We adore our NeNee's Soft Blankies and hope they will become a loving part of your family's story, as they have been with ours.

Redesigned 'Project Runway' is ready for its close-up
- The 11th season premieres 9 ET/PT on Thursday on Lifetime
- Posen is a popular addition%2C despite the loss of Michael Kors%2C Gunn says
- After 10 seasons%2C %22we needed to do something different%2C%22 Gunn explains
- In TV%2C as in fashion%2C %22change is good%2C%22 Posen says
NEW YORK — Skeptics, be silenced, says Tim Gunn.
Even with Project Runway's overhaul — a new judge (Zac Posen instead of Michael Kors) and, more radically, a new format (team face-offs) — the show's mensch of a mentor says the new Season 11, premiering Thursday on Lifetime (9 p.m. ET/PT), is his favorite "ever."
Though he hasn't seen an episode, "all I know is the experience that I had doing it," says Gunn, looking his signature soigne self in a chalk-stripe navy suit and purple pocket square. He's amid a space as integral to the show as the Parsons workroom: Mood fabric store. When it came to taping, "I loved every second of it."
In large part because of the (controversial) team challenges. The season starts off with 16 contestants split into teams of eight, designing individual looks but presenting as a group. The weaker team — which may boast the strongest contestant — loses a designer. On the other hand, a lackluster designer might get carried along thanks to the strength of his or her team.
All of which creates "a lot of friction," says Gunn, who admits he had a "moment of pause" when he first heard the idea (host and judge Heidi Klum wasn't so keen, either). "But then I had unbridled enthusiasm."
The budget is divvied up by the team's treasurer. And Gunn's critiques are conducted en masse, which means "if they see something going awry with the design work of one of their teammates, they have a responsibility to speak up … because you don't want to be on the bottom."
For sure, the conceit adds up to entertaining reality TV. "What happens to one designer in particular is absolutely unbelievable," Gunn says. "She's really, really outstanding, but she's like the Flying Dutchman of doom. It's, like, wherever she goes, the team loses," even though she's not the contestant who's sent to clean up her space in the workroom.
But Gunn insists the approach also reflects fashion, well, reality. "The fans who are writing on my Facebook page saying this is so contrived? It's not. This is the way the industry works," he says. "Name a designer other than some newbie who's designing alone. No one is!"
Still, why tinker with a trusted TV formula? After 10 seasons, "we needed to do something different," Gunn says — especially after the relative unraveling of Season 10 itself. "It was the season of the grumpy Eastern Europeans." No. 11's crop is "more mature."
Some seasons, "it's magical and everything resonates so positively," he says. "And other times, it's just the chemistry. You could have individuals who are stellar, but as a group? Blech. It falls flat. And there's not much you can do about it except let it run its course."
The one change fans aren't grumpy about, Gunn says: Posen's presence. "People are so excited to have Zac on board." Including the contestants. "They never once asked me, 'What happened to Michael Kors?' " (Scheduling conflicts prevented his full participation, although he does return to judge the finale.)
"That's really cool," says Posen, who has served as a guest judge in the past. He's seated next to Gunn among bolts of brocade in a three-piece navy suit he made himself. A pearl and gold swan pin adorns his lapel. The pair, who have a chatty rapport that Posen says extends to his relationships with Klum and judge Nina Garcia (he's known both "for years"), stand out in dapper contrast to the lint-flecked, industrial-carpeted floor. They nerd out while fingering the rolls of jacquards and boucles, the stacks of ribbons and packages of zippers.
"You just have to get your hands into the fabric," Posen explains. "It tells you the story."
About that tangerine-tufted swirly mustard print that acts as a tablecloth in a corner? "This is unusual," says Gunn, the master of the kind critique.
"Very unusual," Posen concurs, more archly.
"Memorable!" says Gunn, rethinking his assessment slightly. ("I try to be positive.")
"Just because you're a fashion designer doesn't mean you're a good judge on Project Runway," Gunn says. "One of the exceptional qualities in Zac is he's able to leave his own aesthetic at the door ... as opposed to saying, 'Well, this is what I would have done.' "
"Obviously, there are things that you cringe," Posen says. But "you keep a poker face, which is hard for me. I make a million expressions a minute."
Dubious duds aside, "it's remarkable when you think about what they're able to achieve. I mean, I'm always in awe. Even when it's bad I'm in awe," says Gunn, laughing.
"It takes a certain kind of skill set. It's like fashion design improv," says Posen, who grew up wanting to be a song-and-dance man.
As he negotiates Mood's cramped but colorful aisles, Gunn is warmly greeted by employees with shouts of, "Hey, Tim!" It's his first time in the store since September, and lucky shopper-slash-fans aim their iPhone cameras at him and Posen.
"I might pee my pants," says one of them, Alison Fullerton, 34 and a park ranger. "I'm shaking. I'm not kidding." Another ogler is all of 13.
"It's always challenging to be sort of the new kid in school," says Posen, who concedes that the prospect of replacing Kors, the king of critical quips, was intimidating. "It's always nerve-wracking to take on somebody's role who has been very popular within the role."
But in TV, as in fashion, "change is good," Posen says.
Still, he brought the show's trademark one-liners to the runway. "I love being funny. It's part of it, without it getting mean, personal or snarky" — although cutting remarks about cutting and sewing "makes great TV, and I'm sure," he says, grinning, "it got pulled out of me at moments."
Posen isn't surprised that Runway has remained on while other competition reality shows have been booted off. "Popular culture is fascinated by craft and it's fascinated by process. And there's not a lot of exposing of it." Viewers "want to see creative people's expression through their hands and minds. I think that's really powerful and valuable."
"At its very core, (Runway) has an incredible integrity and seriousness of purpose," leavened by a relatively unproduced format, Gunn says. "It's as though we drop a little hand grenade and see where it goes."
No matter that only one winner — Christian Siriano, who guest judges this season — has exploded onto the fashion scene.
"I'm not even remotely surprised" by the lack of household names Runway has nurtured, Gunn says. "The show can only do so much for (the contestants). It cannot do more than what their own ambitions and resources allow them to do." Not to mention that a protracted economic downtown hasn't helped fledgling fashion folks navigate a notoriously fickle business.
But success isn't just defined by a Lincoln Center show. Season 2 champion Chloe Dao is happy in Houston, Gunn says. "She has a store that's three times the size than it was before she came on the show. She goes on QVC four times a year" to help fund her collections. "She has a career."
Which is an achievement, Posen says. In fashion, as in TV, "there is no guarantee."

I'd point out the parts that were particularly awful, but really, that's everything from 0:00 to 0:58. Which is when the commercial mercifully draws to a close.

Product Description
The Globall is made with high quality plastic. The object of this puzzle is to scramble up all of the colors and then return it back to its original starting position. Although this puzzle has 12 rotating axes, there are only 6 different colors, which can make it quite difficult to solve. This puzzle is unique because any piece can be interchanged with any other piece, as they are all the same shape. The Globall is manufactured by Hryahlavolamy.

This puzzle is small, but packs a big punch. It'll challenge you plenty, and looks great both solved and scrambled. Because of it's size, this is a perfect puzzle to carry around with you.
I haven't yet seen more than your images of this; it looks like Alexander's Star, which, in its original all-plastic form, was not a practical mechanism. I have high hopes for this one, though! Btw, I love your "captcha" design.

Introduction to Lynchburg, Virginia and Surrounding Areas
Lynchburg is an independent city (meaning a city not belonging to a county) located in central Virginia, near the cities of Roanoke, Danville, and Charlottesville. Nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, the city is situated approximately 180 miles southwest of the nation's capital, Washington, D.C. Principal highways in the city include U.S. Route 29, 221, 460, and 501.
Incorporated as a town in 1805 and as a city in 1852, Lynchburg got its name from its founder, John Lynch, who was granted a charter in 1786 by the Virginia General Assembly for a town on 45 acres of his own land. The 19th century saw prosperity for Lynchburg, a center of manufacturing and commerce whose principal industry was tobacco. The onset of the 20th century brought a change in Lynchburg's economic base from tobacco to manufacturing. A large number of factories opened, many of which remained cornerstones of the economy for many years, allowing the city to grow and diversify. Colleges, libraries, and housing developments slowly populated the town over the years, to the point where today's Lynchburg is a vibrant community with a strong industrial base and is a regional center for retail and commerce.
Known as the "City of Seven Hills" (College Hill, Garland Hill, Daniel's Hill, Federal Hill, Diamond Hill, White Rock Hill, and Franklin Hill), Lynchburg was frequented often by Thomas Jefferson, who maintained a nearby residence (Poplar Forest). The city is home to several colleges and universities, including Liberty University, established in the 1980s as Liberty Baptist College by televangelist and Lynchburg resident Jerry Falwell.
Lynchburg Arts, Culture, and Entertainment
Lynchburg's rich history and unspoiled beauty make it a natural setting for a wealth of historical landmarks, cultural events, and recreational activities. Some of the more prominent are as follows:
- Academy of Fine Arts: Houses both an active studio theatre and an historic theatre undergoing renovation
- Amazement Square, The Rightmire Children's Museum: Four spacious floors of interactive exhibitions, workshops and educational programs
- Anne Spencer House and Garden: Honoring the internationally acclaimed poet who was the only black woman and the only Virginian included in the Norton Anthology of Modern American and British Poetry
- Daura Gallery Museum: More than 1,000 paintings, drawings, sculptures, and prints
- Legacy Museum of African-American History: Explores all aspects of local African American history and culture
- Liberty University Theater: Located on Liberty University's main campus
- Lynchburg Museum/Old Court House
- Maier Museum of Art
- Miller Claytor House
- Old City Cemetery
- Sandusky Historic Site & Civil War Museum
- South River Meeting House
- The James River Heritage Trail
Although Virginia does not have a major league sports team, the city of Lynchburg is rich in baseball history. Minor League professional baseball has existed here since 1894, when the Lynchburg Hill Climbers brought baseball to the city. The team, which played in the Virginia League until the league disappeared in 1943, underwent some name changes during that time, becoming the Shoemakers, then the Grays, then the Senators. The team moved to the Piedmont League in 1943 and remained there until 1955 as the Lynchburg Cardinals. After a few more league changes and name changes, the team settled down in 1995 as the Lynchburg Hillcats of the Carolina League, where they remain to this day. The Hillcats are a class High-A affiliate of the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Introduction to Roanoke, Virginia and Surrounding Areas
Roanoke is situated in the Roanoke Valley, west of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The city is known as the "Star City of the South" and features the prominent Roanoke Star on Mill Mountain. The Appalachian Trail, the Blue Ridge Parkway and a wine making region are nearby. The Roanoke River runs through the town. The city is a major center for health care and retail businesses for the region.
History or Roanoke
The town was founded in 1852 and was known as Big Lick. The name was selected due to the huge outcropping of salt in the area. Big Lick was chosen as a railroad junction which significantly increased the population and stimulated the economy. In 1884 the town was established as Roanoke. During the Colonial era the city was a prominent location for trails and roads. The Great Wagon Road was one of the busiest roads during the 18th Century and ran through Roanoke.
The Norfolk and Western Railway company produced steam locomotives in Roanoke and employed thousands of workers. The locomotives were manufactured in the city until 1953. Manufacturing companies moved to the city primarily due to the railroad. Regarding land, the city significantly expanded during the middle portion of the 20th Century due to annexation. Roanoke was once a prominent area for the garment industry.
Roanoke Transportation
The city is served by the Roanoke Regional Airport. The Valley Metro provides bus transportation.
- The Center in the Square contains the History Museum of Western Virginia, the Science Museum of Western Virginia as well as the Hopkins Planetarium.
- Virginia Museum of Transportation features locomotives which were constructed in the city.

Introduction to Shenandoah Valley, Virginia and Surrounding Areas
"The Big Valley"
The Shenandoah Valley stretches 200 miles across the Blue Ridge and Allegheny mountains. It's been nicknamed "The Big Valley" and immortalized in song, dance, film and television.
The history and heritage of the region includes many sites devoted to the pioneers who traveled westward, settled and farmed - those like the Frontier Culture Museum in Staunton and Cyrus McCormick's Farm in Raphine. He invented the first reaper!
During the Civil War this region was nicknamed "The Breadbasket of the Confederacy." In Lexington, visit Virginia Military Institute and Washington & Lee University - where Gen. Robert E. Lee served as president after the war and where the Lee Chapel & Museum is located. See battlefields - New Market Battlefield State Park and Fisher's Hill Battlefield.
Another historical site of the region is the Birthplace of President Woodrow Wilson.
Outdoor Wonderland
The Shenandoah Valley features picture-perfect postcard farms and inns along country roads and the popular Skyline Drive and Blue Ridge Parkway. One of the natural wonders of this world is the Natural Bridge. Be sure to visit the region's many caverns, which include Luray, with the only stalacpipe organ, and Shenandoah, with an elevator to take you underground!
If you're interested in the great outdoors, you'll love the hiking trails, paddle sports and horseback riding in the Blue Ridge Mountains, too!
Two popular resorts are in the Shenandoah Valley: Bryce and Massanutten, which offer year-around activities. And don't forget the beautiful Shenandoah National Park with its portion of the Appalachian Trail and two resorts, too!
You'll be singing "Oh, Shenandoah!" when you arrive and experience this magnificent "Big Valley" for yourself.

We are thrilled to announce that 'As You Like It', the second edition of our Gerald Kraak Anthology of African perspectives on gender, social justice, and sexuality, has won the 2019Lambda Literary Award for an anthology.
The Other Foundation, in partnership with the Diakonia Council of Churches, and the Durban Lesbian and Gay Community Health Centre invites you to attend our religion convening, Breaking through the Backlash: Transformative Encounters Between LGBTI People and Churches in Africa.
The third Gerald Kraak anthology, Heart of the Matter, is out. Congratulations to OluTimehin Adegbeye, whose essay, 'Mothers and Men', made her this year's worthy winner. Submissions for the next Gerald Kraak anthology and prize are open all year.
15 peer reviewers selected from across southern Africa have made recommendations to our board about which of the grant applications we received should receive funding. With backgrounds in religion, business, human rights, the arts, and community organizing, this class of 2019 will ensure that our grantmaking continues to be informed, smart and impactful.
Thank you for your active involvement in our community this year. With your support, we have cast a wider and deeper net to help build a movement of activism across southern Africa – from Luanda in Angola to Port Louis in Mauritius, and from Mzuzu in Malawi to Cape Town in South Africa.
The Other Foundation partners with Facebook on its inaugural South Africa NGO Day, aimed at bringing together local NGO communities in a day of learning and networking.
Many are calling kopano – Accelerating Change, the best LGBTI convening of all time. Couldn't attend? No sweat! We captured on video all the plenaries, key outcomes and all around magic for you to watch.
Estimating the value of the pink Rand is critical in building the case for more advances in getting the private sector to move faster in opening space for the LGBTI community, and creating safe spaces in cities and workspaces.
A public debate is raging about how churches can spread homophobic hatred, or promote respect and inclusion based on the equal dignity of every person. Our new report, Silent no longer!, examines the types of engagement churches have with homosexual men and women, and transgender and intersex people in southern Africa.
Homophobia has become a site of painful struggle in the churches, in much the same way as slavery, racism and sexism was in the past. When faith does violence, a new reflection paper by African Christian scholars, reflects on how churches can become liberating rather than oppressive, redemptive rather than violent towards homosexual women and men, and transgender and intersex people in Africa.
All ten country reports in our Canaries In The Coal Mines studies are now available. What is the state of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex organizing and social inclusion, in Angola, Botswana, Lesotho, Malawi, Mauritius, Mozambique, Namibia, Swaziland, Zambia, and Zimbabwe?
There is a general belief that African people are deeply homophobic and unaccepting of gender diversities. But what does the African public really think? The truth is that we don't really know because hardly any work has been done to gather and analyze the views of the public in a structured way in Africa. Until now.

Everyone should be free to live a safe and dignified life, have a family and make their contribution to society. The Other Foundation works to change the views, practices and institutions that prevent people – because of who they are or who they love – from being able to do that in southern Africa. We gather support for those who are working to protect and advance the rights, wellbeing and social inclusion of people of all sexual orientations and gender identities – and we give support in a smart way that helps groups to work better for lasting change.
Our Mission
The Other Foundation is an African trust dedicated to advancing human rights in Hailo Öko Duo Plus 22 Tret-Abfalltrenner Mülleimer Abfalleimer Mülltrenner red, with a particular focus on lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex (LGBTI) people. Our primary purpose is to expand resources available to defend and advance the rights and well-being of LGBTI people in the Southern African region.

Our Grant-Making
The Foundation is pleased to announce the outcomes of its inaugural round of grant making. The Foundation allocated 32 grants, totaling around ZAR3.1 million, for work that will advance the rights and improve the well-being of LGBTI people in Southern Africa. Organisations and individuals were given grants ranging from ZAR10,000 to ZAR500,000. Click here to see a full list of grants that were allocated. The Other Foundation wanted its first grant making initiative to be a truly transparent and participatory process. Rather than consider grant proposals entirely on its own, the foundation's board asked the public to nominate a panel of peer reviewers to help review and assess grant applications. The 12 peer reviewers chosen formed a diverse group from six countries in southern Africa. They worked in four teams, each facilitated by a board member, to decide which projects to recommend for funding. This gave meaningful expression to the identity of The Other Foundation as an LGBTI community foundation. Click here to see who the peer reviewers were in the grant making process.Click Hailo Öko Trio Plus 33 Tret-Abfalltrenner Mülleimer Abfalleimer Mülltrenner red to see a report about the development, implementation, and outcomes of this unique grant making process. The report will be of interest to foundations and philanthropists interested in more accountable and transparent ways of making grants.
Our Fundraising
The funds for the pilot grant-making initiative have come from personal gifts from 18 individual donors who visited South Africa early in 2014 to find out more about the amazing work that activists are doing to defend and advance the rights of LGBTI people in Southern Africa. The Atlantic Philanthropies matched the funds raised from this donor tour, providing The Other Foundation with close to ZAR4 million to give out as small grants to individuals and organisations across Southern Africa. A range of fundraising initiatives were launched in 2014. All funds that are raised will go to programming and grant-making as our operational costs are fully covered by the Atlantic Philanthropies for the next five years.
