Very Good8/9/2013
Received package a few days after the order was placed. Everything worked great.
Good for use but average for performance8/4/2013
The product is good at price. You can dock apple and samsung phone at the same time. Bluetooth works great. I like the remotes power on/off option. It means your phone doesnt charge all the night. The only big problem is it is not loudy.
Nice product for the money7/31/2013
Pros: - Easy to connect via bluetooth - quality sound Cons: - Runs on AC, no battery - Does ont support Iphone 5 or IPAD docking - could be louder
Great Product7/23/2013
I felt this was a great value for the money. Works very well and is easy to use with either Iphone or android. Use it outdoors on my patio and bluetooth stays connected even when my phone is in my pocket and I go indoors. I gave it a 4 for performance because I thought the volume level could be a bit louder, otherwise a great product.
Good Value7/23/2013
The DA-E550 / ZA is a great product. It exceeded all expectations for the money. It is easy to set up and use. It looks great to.
Bluetooth Speaker7/22/2013
Very easy to use, including setup. Excellent noise. Loud enough, although louder when docked as compared to bluetooth. I agree with all the other positive reviews.
Great Sounding Device7/17/2013
Has Bluetooth and also charges your IPOD. Not the Loudest sounding but for the $$$$ it is well worth it.
Not as advertised7/17/2013
Docking station does not work with iPhone 4S it says not compatible with this device. I thought it was chord less but no batteries, has to be plugged into AC
Excellent product7/17/2013
Cannot beat the quality of this product for the price. Don't hesitate to get it, it's an excellent accessory for music and it complements phone and tablet well.
Difficult to Set up and lacks Value7/16/2013
Not worth it

10 Career Risks of the Sleep-Deprived. You?
by Dawn Lennon - Apr, 2011
Sleep is for wimps. Do some people make you feel that way? Time to refute! We've become a tired workforce, exhausted even. We work long hours, stay up late for household chores/family time and/or to socialize with friends. When we lay down to sleep, we often can't or the quality is poor. Sleep matters. Sometimes we treat sleep like it's an accessory, not a necessity, to our success. Be...
4 Ways to Make Personal Branding in Your Resume More Personal
by Jessica Holbrook Hernandez - Apr, 2011
One important aspect of writing a top-notch resume is ensuring that yours stands out among the many others that sit on a hiring manager's desk. This isn't always an easy feat, considering that many of the dozens of applicants competing for the position are likely very talented. But while your competition may be talented, they are not you.

by Jessica Holbrook Hernandez - Apr, 2011
Creating a proper introduction is perhaps the most important part of writing a cover letter because it introduces hiring managers to you and helps them decide whether they want to know more about you.

Audits Aim to Stop Employers from Hiring Undocumented Workers
by Marcia Robinson - Apr, 2011
The Obama administration has launched a major initiative to hold employers accountable for hiring undocumented workers and illegal immigrants. The primary investigative tool being used to uncover undocumented workers is an audit of the employers' employment records. The Star Tribune is reporting that at least 2000 undocumented workers in the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul, were fired because of inability to prove thei...
Is a Follow-Up Call Better Than a Follow-Up E-mail?
by Jessica Holbrook Hernandez - Apr, 2011
Being a part of a technology-driven society that regularly encourages electronic communication, it makes sense that a job seeker would feel justified in handling any part of a job application process in this manner. However, after a job interview, it's important to note that the rules change a little bit. It Depends When it comes to choosing whether to follow up an interview with a phone call or an e-mail, it may be bes...
Is Your Executive Resume Placing You Among the Top-6 Candidates?
by Jessica Holbrook Hernandez - Apr, 2011
When sifting through executive resumes, many hiring managers decide that they will choose six candidates to interview for a position. Of course, this number fluctuates depending on the circumstances, but for many companies, six is the magic number. So how can you increase your chances of becoming one of the top six candidates—those who are most likely to be called in for an interview? Make No Mistakes on the Resume A...
New Employees Can Mean Trouble | Managing Team Chemistry
by Dawn Lennon - Apr, 2011
A filled vacancy starts with optimism. The boss is high on what the new employee can add to the team. Existing employees are relieved they didn't have to absorb more work. Bosses usually start with an announcement before the person shows up. Employees hear about the new hire's capabilities and experiences. They often hear high praise for how s/he will strengthen the team. Enough already! New employees mean change....
Should Job Seekers Follow Up After an Interview?
by Jessica Holbrook Hernandez - Apr, 2011
Clients often ask us if they should follow up after an interview. There can be a lot of doubt and confusion about whether following up is a proper job search strategy. But the answer is: YES! The majority of candidates will never follow up after an interview. I would say that for every ten people I've interviewed, only one has followed up after the interview. Job seekers as a whole underestimate the effectiveness and...

Staying Safe
When auditioning for a part it doesn't do any harm to ensure your own safety and security. This is a very basic guide on things to consider.While you may be eager to add credits to your CV and gain valuable experience as quickly as possible, there is nothing more important than ensuring your personal safety.
Whether it be an audition, a meeting with an agent or casting director or even a full blown tour there are several steps you can take to try and make sure that nothing untoward occurs.
If the casting call does not contain sufficient information, do get in touch to ask what questions you wish. You should never have to attend an audition without full and frank information. If this is not forthcoming, you may wish to take this as a warning sign. You may also want to look into the history of the company or director offering the audition. If you have an agent they may be able to give you some background on the company, or make enquiries on your behalf. Make your own enquiries too: a website, reviews, testimonials from actors etc can all be useful. Of course, some companies may not have any history or reputation and while the majority will be genuinely new on the scene, you may wish to take more care in these cases.
Before attending an audition you should make sure you have as much information as possible. Get a contact number and a full address for the audition. Let friends or family know where you're going.
The most important thing to remember is that you should always feel comfortable. If you wish, ask to bring a friend or partner to the audition. If at any point you feel uncomfortable, don't hesitate to call an end to the audition and diffuse the situation.
As long as you are sensible and trust your common sense, you are unlikely to get into difficulty. The vast majority of castings will be safe, professional and enjoyable experiences.
Remember, you should never have to pay money to attend an audition. If you are asked to do this, please contact Singers Pro. Further, you should never give up your money, time or any other resource without thinking very seriously about whether it is worth it.
Are you an agency? Do you involve yourselves in contract negotiation?
Singers Pro is not an agency, we don't negotiate contracts or collect fees. For advice in these matters please contact your agent or the UK actor's union, Equity
This guide is in development. We are always keen to expand and update information on the site, so if you have any tips you think we should include please let us know.

%% This list of examples has been alphabetized. Please add your example in the proper place. Thanks!
* ''Series/AirCrashInvestigation'': Or, in the case of the would-be skyjacker in "Fight for Your Life", [[DropTheHammer Hammer]]-and-Speargun Crazy.
* ''Series/BabylonFive'': Centauri Emperor Cartagia, epically ax crazy and in charge of a planet. Prone to laughing and doing a merry jig with you one second and casually having you executed the next. Planned to have his world [[spoiler: blown up by the bad guys in exchange for his ascent to godhood (or so he believes.)]]
** The Sniper, in "Ceremonies of Light And Dark". [[spoiler: He took seven days to kill a Minbari. He cut his victim to pieces, starting from the digits and extremities and tying off the body part to be removed next, so as to avoid his victim dying from blood loss.]]
* ''Series/BreakingBad'':
** Tuco.
--> '''Jesse:''' [[DeadpanSnarker Are you basing that on he's got like a normal, healthy brain or something?! Did you not see him beat a dude to death for, like, ''nothing?!'']]
** Hector "Tio" Salamanca. In flashbacks, he is revealed to have been a particularly sadistic member of the Juarez Cartel who possessed a pronounced lack of empathy towards those outside the organization and was horribly abusive towards his own family (even while professing to value them above all things). In this manner, he served as the role model for his AxCrazy nephews, Tuco and the Salamanca Twins.
** The Cousins. They kill almost everyone they come across. They also have a literal ax.
* ''{{Buffyverse}}'':
** Drusilla. Drusilla's craziness is a result of the mental trauma she experienced as Angelus tortured her and made her watch while he tortured and killed her family.
** Angelus, who liked to recreate the slaughter of his own family whenever he got bored.
** Darla wreaked some very bloody havoc of her own.
** Faith. She later does a HeelFaceTurn, and both reforms and becomes more stable, although is it sometimes hinted that how her initial mental state lies just below the surface e.g. she is tempted to kill Angel in a hell dimension (so he would no longer place her and others in danger) and working as TheMole she loses it and tries to kill Buffy.
** [[SuperpoweredEvilSide Dark!Willow and Vamp!Willow]] very much embody this trope, however even normal Willow slides into it occasionally. The comics foretell this will lead to Buffy killing her, and lately she has an actual axe (the Scythe) that's used to ''slice up Angel's son.''
** Connor ends up Ax Crazy after [[spoiler: killing his godlike daughter Jasmine]], snapping completely after learning a man he stopped from committing suicide would have left his family alone, holding a mall hostage and rigging it with explosives, insisting that a man stop holding his daughter wrong (because Connor broke his arm). Connor had some [[AbusiveParents problems]] [[TykeBomb with]] [[OedipusComplex his]] [[EldritchAbomination family]].
** Caleb and Warren Mears.
** Glory. Juuuust a little bit.
** Simone is this, partially because she is psychotically obsessed with killing Buffy. Remember when Faith was like that? Simone's ''worse''.
* ''Series/BurnNotice'': Larry. To quote his former protege:
-->'''Michael:''' "If I let him out of my sight, that's when he starts killing everybody."
* ''Series/CharlieJade'': 01 Boxer, at least in the Betaverse, and arguably the Alphaverse. He seems to manifest a different personality in each world; in the Gammaverse he's a loving husband who is horrified at what he becomes in the other two universes.
* ''Series/{{Community}}'': Chang, particularly in episode [[Recap/CommunityS1E24EnglishAsASecondLanguage English as a Second Language]] where he takes a key-tar to a former students car.
* ''Series/CriminalMinds'': Most of the killers, as the show tends to only deal with the most extreme criminals. They range from the technically sane but extremely sadistic and heartless to people with almost no grip on reality whatsoever.
* ''Series/{{Dexter}}'':
** "The Ice Truck Killer" and the Trinity Killer. Dexter himself is not Ax Crazy. He's very particular and methodical about who, how, and when he kills, and limits his victims to murderers who have evaded justice (He does do in a couple of child molesters, as well).
** Though far less dangerous than the other {{Big Bad}}s [[spoiler:Miguel Prado]]'s descent into vicious insanity is probably the most spectacular so far.
* ''Series/DoctorWho'':
** Has numerous examples:
** The Daleks. Ex-ter-min-ate! Extra credit to the Special Weapons Dalek. Basically, a Dalek with a {{BFG}} strapped to the front. The only problem is that the radiation drives the Dalek insane, and as liable to destroy its own Dalek comrades as the enemy. The Daleks keep it chained up and call it "The Abomination".
** Their creator, Davros: who killed off his own race when they tried to stop him from making the Daleks, told the Doctor that if he were given the power to end all life he would do it just to prove that he could, and later on made a bomb that would DESTROY! REALITY! ITSELF!
** The Master; he likes to kill whether it helps his plans or not.
** The Silurians of the double-episode "The Hungry Earth/Cold Blood", though it's the military caste due to an unintentional incursion. This apparently gives them the excuse to attempt to start a war despite numerous protests that they don't need to.
** Hindle from "Kinda." It's clear pretty early on that he's not very mentally stable, but then he gets worse...and then he rigs up those explosives...
** The Cybermen are so sane and rational that they've gone out the far side into a new ''universe'' of AxeCrazy.
* ''Music/DougAnthonyAllStars'': ''DAAS Kapital'': Psycho Bob, a psychopathic American SerialKiller with a fixation on Tim.
* ''Series/{{Firefly}}'':
** River Tam may or may not qualify. Her main violence has been against bad guys; though she's attacked fellow crewmates in the past, but has not done so with enough force to kill. Still, it's enough to freak out more than a few people who are not familiar with her history and motivations for violence.\\
Particularly memorable is the scene in "Ariel" where she slashes Jayne's chest with a butcher knife because he was wearing a Blue Sun T-shirt, and because he would later try to [[spoiler: turn her and her brother Simon in to the Alliance for the reward money]]. With her psychic abilities, she most likely sensed something stabworthy about him.\\
In TheMovie, she singlehandedly [[spoiler:''slaughtered'' an army of Reavers in a CrowningMomentOfAwesome.]]
** Ax Craziness is the [[PlanetOfHats hat]] of the Reavers. As Zoe puts it in the pilot episode, these cannibalistic once-human horrors will "rape you to death, eat your flesh, and sew your skin to their clothing -- and if you're very, very lucky, they'll do it [[InThatOrder in that order]]."
* ''Series/GameOfThrones'': Ramsay Bolton, even after being somewhat ''toned down'' from [[Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire the books]], still manages to be one of the '''most''' frightening examples ever.
* ''Series/{{Heroes}}'': Gabriel Gray, better known as Sylar. Take one case of validation issues and compound with superpowers and murder, and you have a doozy.
* ''Series/ICarly'': Nora. She also held a medieval hatchet that scared off the trio back to their incarceration.
* ''Series/{{Insecurity}}'': N'udu is a more restrained version of this; he knows how to kill people using anything and once cleared a long check out line at the grocery store by describing how he would kill the other occupants of the line using the contents of their basket. Like everything in this show, it's PlayedForLaughs.
* ''Series/{{JAG}}'': Serial killer Charles "Charlie" Lynch in "Goodbyes". He actually confronts Harmon Rabb with an ax...
* ''Series/KamenRiderRyuki'': Takeshi Asakura aka Kamen Rider Ouja who was a sadistic serial killer, he also is the one with the highest body count of the series, he also loves to commit as much destruction as possible and has an absolute blast while doing it.
* ''Series/LawAndOrder'': There have been many episodes dealing with ax crazies.
* ''Series/{{Lost}}'':
** Keamy is already not a nice guy, but like several people on the freighter it appears that the Island has made him unstable. ''Extremely'' unstable. To the point where he casually kills the captain of the ship just to prove a point and intentionally puts the crew (well, the ones he hasn't killed yet) at risk...just so he can complete his mission of getting Ben. He also saves his own life by ''kicking a grenade at his second-in-command'' when it lands at his feet.
** In season 6, [[spoiler: a clearly-not-all-there Claire]].
* ''Series/MythBusters'': Parodied in the "Mega Movie Myths" episode. In the silent film-esque intro, Jamie is chasing Tory with a pickaxe after Tory forgot to put away his drill. "Heeeeeeeeeeere's Jamie!!"
* ''Series/{{Oz}}'': Many a inmate is this. Beecher becomes this after taking a level in badass, and some of the guards show these tendencies.
* ''Series/ParksAndRecreation'': Jean-Ralphio's sister Mona Lisa, who dates Tom, blurs the line between CloudCuckooLander and this. Tom states that he fears for his life a lot.
* ''Series/{{Pizza}}'':
** Bobo is, well, insane. He keeps a chainsaw under the counter for when he deals with customers.
** He once shoved a man into a pizza oven because he asked for a raise. This killed him.
** The Axe Murderer, who shows up from time to time.
* ''Series/RedDwarf'':
** In the last season there's an inmate named [=KillCrazy=]. Ironically, at the first chance to actually kill something, he runs headlong into a doorframe and knocks himself out cold.
** The Dwarfers used to occasionally run into Simulants, Ax Crazy robots who were bred for a war that never happen, and bent on destroying all life. Plus the one time they were sent a replacement for Kryten, Hudzen, it turned out to be Ax Crazy as well!
* ''Series/{{Revolution}}'':
** In "[[Recap/RevolutionS1E4ThePlagueDogs The Plague Dogs]]", Ray Kinsey. He used to be sane, and he and his daughter Lilah took refuge at a carnival. Then Lilah stepped on a nail, got tetanus, and he could only watch helplessly as she died, because the medicine they had was taken by raiders. In response, he trained a group of attack dogs, and he didn't react well to Team Matheson killing one of his dogs. In fact, he stabbed Maggie Foster in the leg and hit an artery. Then he kidnapped Charlie Matheson, tied her to a chair, positioned a crossbow in front of her, and rigged a wire to the trigger and the door. She tried to reason with him, and even though she reminded him of his daughter Lilah, he ultimately just left her.
** In "[[Recap/RevolutionS1E6SexAndDrugs Sex and Drugs]]", Drexel the druglord, who is introduced to the audience by threatening to kill Miles in cold blood just for showing up on his propertyonly for him to reveal that his gun isn't loaded and laugh his head off. He doesn't get any saner.
* ''Series/RizzoliAndIsles'': Hoyt.
* ''Series/{{Scrubs}}'':
--> "Heh, Hooch is crazy."
--> "Who the HELL...put bouillon cubes in the shower head!?! Huh? Hm, did you do it? Hm? Did you? If it happens again...I will wait in my SUV, blast me some speed metal -- five point one surround sound, heavy on the bass -- and someone...will be getting...mowed...down."
--> "...Hooch is ''crazy!''"
* ''Series/{{Smallville}}'':
** Many Meteor Freaks. Bruno Mannheim, a gangster who appeared in Season 8's "Stiletto" was also visibly nuts, twitching in every one of his appearances, and gleefully killing his boss for wanting to go straight. And then there's LX-3, an utterly murderous clone of LexLuthor, who tries to kill or hurt ''every single person'' we see him speak too. He burns the other clones to death while ranting about how "ThereCanBeOnlyOne", attacks Tess, kills the whole staff at Cadmus Labs, and, to top it off, ties Lois to a scarecrow and sets the field around her alight after placing a bomb in the ''Daily Planet''. All this so he can force a SadisticChoice on Clark and have a few laughs before TheLastDance claims him.
** Major Zod is another example of an Ax Crazy ''Smallville'' villain. He spends most of his onscreen time in Season 9 slowly making this a DeconstructedTrope, as stress and his own constant failures [[SanitySlippage eat away at his sanity]]. He suffers repeated breakdowns, during which his inner lunatic strains to get out; during the SeasonFinale, he undergoes a massive VillainousBreakdown and finally snaps for good, charging TheHero while ranting about how the world will KneelBeforeZod!
** [[spoiler:[[EvilCounterpart Clark Luthor a.k.a. Ultraman]]]]:
-->Doesn't feel right, though. Not having blood on my hands before lunch.
* ''Series/TheSopranos'': Richie Aprile.
--> '''Richie:''' Did you ever meditate?
--> '''Beansie:''' Me, meditate? Ha, are you crazy?
--> '''Richie:''' Not as crazy as I used to be, still crazy enough to take an eye out.
** Several mobsters with a extremely homicidal behaviour definitely qualify... or with a temper that would not have any mentally balanced person. Ralph Cifaretto, Feech La Manna, Johnny Boy Soprano, and Phil Leotardo are straight examples. Even Paulie "Walnuts" has traits of one, but more downplayed compared to the other examples, though.

Teopista: Uganda
My name is Teopista and I am 13 years old. I come from a family of five children from two mothers. After my mother died when I was very young, my father remarried. My stepmother was very nice to all of us, but she also died. I was eight years old at the time, so my father took me to the village to live with my Jjajas (grandparents). After about three months, my siblings and I were told that our father had AIDS and was very sick. Before that, I didn't know what AIDS was. I went to visit my father and a week later he died. Soon after his death, my younger brother John also passed away.
Like my brother, father, and mother, I soon began to get sick. People suspected that I also had AIDS.
One day as I walked home from school, I passed out and woke up in the hospital. The doctors ran several tests and my Jjaja was called out of the room to receive the results. When she walked back into the room, she looked very worried. No one, including Jjaja, told me about what was said.
After I was discharged from the hospital, I began receiving several pills that I had to swallow twice a day, every day. Although no one discussed my treatment, I now know that what I was taking at the time were antiretroviral drugs – medicines to treat those living with HIV. I was nine years old.
Whenever people would ask my Jjaja about my health, she would simply tell them that I had a fever and was unwell. However, soon after my hospital visit, I developed shingles. People would run away from me, and I had to cover my head with a scarf every time I left the house. This went on for weeks. Some people even made comments like, "You are still alive? We thought you had died!"
When I turned 10 years old, Jjaja told me that I was HIV-positive. I was so worried. I kept thinking of my late parents. I cried all the time, so Jjaja took me for counseling, which helped me feel a bit better. It was during the counseling sessions that I was introduced to a support group called the Ariel Club, which was established by the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation. Ariel Club was created in honor of Ariel Glaser, Elizabeth Glaser's daughter, who died of AIDS-related illness as a child.
At first, I thought I would be the only one in the group living with HIV, but I was introduced to other HIV-positive children and this made me strong. We were counseled and given everything from school fees, to money for transportation, to pick up our medicine – even the shoes I am wearing right now. We also played lots of sports and games. It was so nice!
After learning my status, I became more responsible about taking my medicine. I soon started feeling healthy and more alive each day. The people who had seen my skin condition were amazed by my total recovery and started being nice to me. It felt so good to be accepted.
The Ariel Club gave me confidence to talk openly about my status. I now talk to my peers about HIV/AIDS and they actually take my advice. Today, I am happy because I look and feel good.
The Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation no longer provides services in Mukono district. As of May 2010, the Foundation initiated a new project, Strengthening Tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS Response in the South Western Region of Uganda (STAR-SW). STAR-SW is a comprehensive, district-based HIV/AIDS and TB program. The project now supports services in 13 districts in southwestern Uganda.
Children from Mukono district, like Teopista, continue to receive services through the Uganda Ministry of Health.

Sabayon 5.5 review
Sabayon Linux 5.5 is the latest release of the Gentoo-based Linux distribution. It is also the first Sabayon release this year and judging from this distribution's release history, we should expect to see at least three more releases before the end of the year. Sabayon offers a separate installation image for each of the major desktop environments. GNOME and KDE editions of previous Sabayon releases have been reviewed on this site, but not an Xfce edition.
This article is a review of the Xfce edition of Sabayon Linux 5.5.
Installation: The latest stable version of Anaconda, the Fedora system installer, is the same one used on all current releases of Sabayon Linux. That means that there is support for LVM, the Linux Logical Volume Manager, RAID (Random Array of Inexpensive Disks), and full disk encryption. Ext4 is the default journaling file system, and LVM is the preferred disk partitioning scheme. The installer creates two logical volumes (/ and swap) if the disk is small, and three (root, swap and /home) on bigger hard disks. The size of the boot partition, the only non-LVM partition, remains at 500 MB. A fresh installation of Sabayon 5.5 Xfce uses less than 2.5 GB of disk space.
Desktop: This Xfce edition ships with Xfce 4.8, the latest stable release. The default desktop has two panels – Panel 1, the top panel, and Panel 2, the bottom panel. I think the desktop would have looked more visually appealing without the rigid, dock-like bottom panel. Would have looked a lot better with Cairo-Dock, which is available in the repository.
Installed and Available Applications: There are very few applications installed by default. Compared to the Xfce editions of other Linux distributions, there is almost nothing installed. Here is a list of the major applications installed:
- Midori Web browser
- Ristretto image viewer
- Leafpad, a GTK+-based text editor
- Xarchiver
- XChat IRC
- Abiword, a word processor
That is it, except for a few desktop accessories and system utilities. Midori, the only Web browser installed, is a lightweight GTK+2 and WebKit Web browser, with DuckDuckGo as the default search engine. The only browser plugin installed is the Adobe Flash plugin. Firefox (3.6.13), Chromium 10, and the latest stable version of Opera for Linux (11.01) are in the repository.
Other desktop editions of Sabayon usually have XBMC, a media center application, installed by default, but not this Xfce edition. Also, most media codecs that are typically installed out of the box on other editions (of Sabayon) are not installed. There are no audio and video playback applications installed out of the box, Not a single one. If you are going to play a music CD or DVD video, use the package manager to install your favorite media player.
Package Manager: Sabayon's graphical package manager, Sulfur, is at version 1.0 alpha27. For an application still in alpha status, it works very well, only a bit slow to load. This the default view of the main interface. More features are available on the Advanced view. Compared to the Synaptic Package Manager, Ubuntu's Software Center, and Linux Mint's Software Manager, package installation on Sulfur involves more clicks than is necessary.
Bundled with Sulfur is the Entropy database backup tool, which makes it possible to backup and restore your system's applications database.
Other Graphical Administrative Tools: The Disk Utility application, used to view and modify disks or disk partitions, is installed and accessible from Applications Menu > System > Disk Utility. All other graphical administrative tools, mostly desktop customization tools, are accessible from Xfce Settings Manager. Some of the most important graphical administrative are not installed. For example, there is no User account management tool. Also, a graphical tool for managing LVM is not installed, and is not even in the repository.
Security: A fresh installation of Sabayon 5.5 (Xfce) has two open ports – 111 (rpcbind) and 631 (IPP – Internet Printing Protocol). The firewall is not enabled, and none of the mandatory access control modules – SELinux, AppArmor and Tomoyo, are loaded.
Final Thoughts: Though the GNOME and KDE editions of Sabayon are notorious for being buggy, they still ship with all the applications most desktop users will ever need. Not so with this Xfce edition. It appears less buggy than the others, but where are all the applications expected on a default desktop distributions? Where are the system-level graphical management tools?
I have always been hesitant to recommend Sabayon Linux to new users, but this edition is one you want to avoid if you are new, and if you want something that works right out-of-the-box. It is not worth the trouble. If you must use Xfce, the Linux Mint edition works as well as any.
Resources: If you still feel like taking this edition of Sabayon 5.5 Xfce out for a spin, mirrors for downloading 32- and 64-bit ISO images are available here.

For those that want to see how KDE should work just use the Gentoo 11 Live DVD. It has all the desktops and they all work great. Now all they need to do is to make an easy install and then no need for Sabayon. I am sure some would still use it but I would not be one of them.
And guess who introduced KDE 4.6.0 in their repos and squashes all bugs in time for Gentoo 11.
Stop spreading kiddy FUD.
You're blaming a distro for KWin bugs.
Are you 11yo or just the usual fanboy? Get back to the kindergarten.
I for one see what I like. Sabayon might have fixed the bugs but using KDE 4.6 on Sabayon is a joke. I know how it is supposed to run like using Arch and then to see Sabayon be so slow and error messages popping up. I do not mind messages popping up as some are quite useful such as the messages about your sound is being rolled back. I personally do not like KDE any more so looking else where but I know from using other distributions how it should run like so that is why I report on it. I am 43 by the way but that does not matter to you. I will leave now since my opinions do not matter to fanboys of Sabayon.
Gentoo 11 KDE and Sabayon KDE share the _SAME_EXACT_CODE_.
So the situation is even worse, you're 43 and you look like a 11yo kid.
Not to mention that I'm not a Sabayon fanboy, but its lead developer.
To say you are the developer makes you a fanboy. They might share the same code but I have read on Sabayon's website that Sabayon adds their own tweaks. I forget which version of Sabayon I installed some time ago but I tried to do a Gentoo update which in the FAQ's or some other section says can break Sabayon which I did. I stopped using it after that point and then when version 5.5 came out and I read some reviews on it I decided to try it out again. When ever I did I would not be able to log in no matter which environment I chose. It was normally on the default. I was lucky enough to know the commands to update the system. This might have been a fluke or might have been some thing with my configuration but a beta test would probably have found out this problem. I saw some where else which I can not find at the moment that there was a problem with the KDE update so people were suggested to run a command to fix the issue. Now my problems probably had to deal with the graphics card and that is why I had errors popping up on my system. If they had an easy install I would install there version and see if I had the same bugs. I just think that more testing would be better off and post on every site that a new beta version or alpha version is out. You can just use the daily builds that you call weekly and just change the name. If I knew nothing about Sabayon other then what I read in a review and tried it out and could not log in I would have wiped the system clean and gone else where.
Reviews like this help people know what to expect. If you want people to use Sabayon do not attack the person writing the review but offer advice on how the experience could be better. By attacking the person writing the review all you show to others is that the fanboys have come out of the woodwork. I like the idea of Sabayon and will continue to use it when I see other reviews. The only reason why I did not try the Gnome version is that I read on the website that it will be updated to version 3 and I at the moment do not want to try this out. This is why I tried KDE, XFCE which was more stable for me and even LXDE. I appreciate the work it takes to make this release a reality. I even read a review of some one that created some items for Gentoo to make it easier but could not get some thing to work and gave up and went else where and then when he decided to release his fixes he went with Fedora because Sabayon was out and he was happy that you made it easy to install and no need for him.
Like I said when I read about a new release I may try it but will see if I am happy with what I am already using at the time.
Reviews like this help people know what to expect.
Reviews are certainly useful but, in order for them to be helpful the reviewer first needs to understand what the distro or (in this case) spin is intended to achieve. This review doesn't give the impression that Finid has done this research.
It's in the comments, though, that things really have gone to pieces.
I can see that lxnay is clearly annoyed at the fact that a review for the XFCE spin has a throwaway remark about the stable releases being buggy. As a developer I can sympathise with this – vague complaints with no specific indication of what needs to be fixed are incredibly annoying.
Elsewhere in the comments, wolfden has attempted to clarify the difference between the experimental spins and stable releases.
This difference really is something that should have been made clear in the review, but rather than go back and check his facts, Finid's response so far seems to have been to stick his fingers in his ears and shout "I'm right, you're wrong, I can't hear you!"
We all make mistakes and we all miss bits of information on occasion. But to adamantly refuse to reconsider once it's been pointed out that we've missed something is not impressive behaviour at all.
I can more useful information about distros reviewed on this site than any other site. I got fed up with reviews that tell you how great a distro is, and raise my hopes high. However, when I download and install it, I find two many problems that the reviewer did not bother to report.
I've been using OpenSUSE for several years, and I know the system pretty well. I can tell in a few minutes if a new stable release is buggy or that. Note that "buggy" does not necessarily mean that the system will crash, but that certain applications crash or exhibit unexpected behaviors.
A different story if the distro is new to me.
It's amazing how a simple review can lead to so much acrimony. Based on what I know about Sabayon, I do not think that describing it as "buggy" is a stretch.
Given that there are no alpha or beta releases, it is more likely than others to have unstable applications. It does not even have Release Candidates before a "stable" comes out. And don't tell me that a rolling distro does not need pre-releases.
Novak, you better check your sentences before writing. We have DAILY builds of ISO images.
This demonstrates once again how much ignorance is spreading around here. Congrats everybody!
This does not mean the same thing as Alpha builds and Beta builds. A daily build is just that what ever is available for that day. It does not show the users that so and so release is at beta stage and please use and report bugs. As a user we just see one release after another. It would be nice for them to release alpha builds and beta builds and release candidates so that people like me can use them and report bugs and have them fixed before the new release is made. I do not mind using alpha software as I know it will have bugs but that is fine for me. I also do not mind wiping my hard drive clean between builds.
In fact our daily builds get pushed to mirror 2 times a week.
You clearly don't know anything about our distro and yet pretend to know it all.
Stop that, you're getting ridiculous.
All I was saying is that a daily build of any distribution is not the same as a beta release. You can not compare the 2 as how many people know about the daily builds and use them and report bugs on them. Most people will use a beta release and report on those such as Ubuntu or even OpenSuse as examples.
Hey man, come on. You are a developer, you are hurt by the critics… Be mature and quit bitching. You want people to understand the specific release cycle of this spin right away? Of course a stop by your site might enlighten some but be mature, accept critics and stop being a dick 😉
*From developer to developer
And again… Maybe you should look at allowing deeper levels of reply 😉
Finid Said…
Trust me, there is nothing, comparatively speaking, in the Xfce edition of Sabayon. And this review is short because there is nothing to write about.
So what is stopping you from talking about why the spin has so much less in it?
The XFCE spin is not a default desktop distro, it doesn't pretend to be. Your review doesn't make this clear.
We appear to have run out of reply buttons. never mind…
Finid Said…
If the devs have been saying that, what's wrong with me saying that this is not for you if you want an Xfce distro that works out of the box. It's funny that we slam Microsoft all the time for crappy software, but we can't stand a critical review.
There is nothing wrong at all with saying that an experimental XFCE spin is not for you if you want an out of the box XFCE distro. The problem is that this isn't what you said.
Whether you intended it or not, the review comes across as treating the XFCE spin in exactly the same way as the Gnome and KDE spins – which pretty much completely misses the point of the experimental spins.
Also, calling a base system "crappy software" on the basis that it does not have all the features that we would expect in a full out-of-the-box system strongly suggests that you are still missing the point.
I agree that it is not ready. People are having problems with this release they did not have with 5.4 such as getting pppoe to work where it worked in 5.4. I also have a problem in these releases that I need to use xdriver=vera just to get it to boot. It then can not handle all the graphic capabilities that are needed by some of the desktops. I have a ATI video card and the wiki has many different instructions for getting these to work. Some are using the emerge commands. They do not make it easy to install or to fix problems. I know that from using the KDE version that it is buggy. I could not even log in until I did some updates and then because I was using vera as my driver I even had more issues that I did not have on other distributions. I like the idea of the distribution but they need a lot more testing before it is released. I will be going else where as each time it just gets buggier and buggier.
While you say buggy I tend to disagree. 5.5 KDE is quite stable and I've never had it to crash onme. Aso I think you might need to learn that it is vesa not vera. Your use of the term vera shows that maybe Linux is not for you
You are right I am working nights and so mis-spoke on what it was called. I have used Linux for a long time and was using Arch Linux before and after Sabayon. Most distributions just work and that can not be said for Sabayon. They include a lot of stuff and some of it is not even needed. I do not need a game that takes up to much space. I also do not need xbmc that takes up even more space. They include a lot of crap that is not needed and can trim this down to include items that should be on the DVD instead. Sabayon gets buggier and buggier all the time so I will just go else where and use some thing that will work.
Give us the proof. Or I'll start thinking you're just one of many kids writing around here.
What proof do you want. I use what I want to use so think of me as you want to think of me. I do not care as I wrote a comment and take it for what is it worth. I have used Sabayon in the past after I had issues installing Gentoo. It was ok but I got the system screwed up after an update so I went back to Arch Linux which I really liked. I found out about issues with Arch and not having package signing so I came back to Sabayon to give it a try again. When I first installed it I could not sign in to the desktop. I had to do equo update and equo upgrade and after the updates I was able to sign in. Had issues with KDE which they even mention that since the update people have had issues. I did not like how slow it was so I went to XFCE and for the most part it was ok. I did not like how they mention that they offer the best amd/ati experience out there which is not the case and you can see from the link that is what is said. Because of issues before and issues now I am going else where just because it is to buggy for me. If Arch Linux had package signing I would have stayed with them as I like the rolling release but do not want to give up security for a fast system so looking else where.
From the ML you can see changes were made. I totally disagree you can use a distro for 5 minutes and get an honest understanding opinion. If that was the case, linux wouldn't be growing in the number of users. Looking back at the 5.4 review you did, you don't understand why releases are kicked out. Joost and lythandrel hit on those subjects. We've also had a update notification for quite some time now. First impressions are a big thing, but understanding the project and a user can go much further.
Reviews are fine, but people need to try and test things for themselves. The spins are not for newbies, that is for sure. They are even tough to support, but only way they will get better is via feedback. An irc user recently came in and had issues and we discovered issues with groups. Time and fixes on the spins are on the back burner as we focus on KDE and Gnome editions as official releases. In the future if you do reviews, please distinguish the Spins from Official releases.
The work on the latest spins was to cut down the sizes of wasted space taken up by programs installed and we were able to thin down the dependency tree a lot and this in turns helps entropy and all of it's users also. We will continue to experiment with the spins to find the "right blend" of packages vs. file size. It just won't happen over night. The spin releases of 5.5 were very educational to us. I suggest to new users to give Gnome and KDE a try instead. If advanced users want to test the spins and report, great.
Fabio can and will butt heads, I do it all the time with him, doesn't make him less of a person and he does take it all in, just takes time for a plan of action. Good luck on your future reviews of the linux world.
I have been using Sabayon for many years now (back in the RR days) but I have found Sabayon to be very stable and what few issues I have had the online chat that Sabayon provides quickly helped me resolve them. I use Sabayon on my main media computer and the Dell laptop that I am using now. There is a bit of a learning curve but this is stated in several places…omg you have to read and learn a little. But in any case I am using the current version and have found it to be rock solid and fun to use.
"Though the GNOME and KDE editions of Sabayon are notorious for being buggy"
You've proven once again the poor quality of your reviews. Not to mention your website, messy as hell.
Thanks, next time feel free to review some other distros other than Sabayon. Users don't need poor quality reviews at all.
As a potential user of any distro, I'm looking for a review that will tell me the good and the bad. Glowing reviews are useless.
I do not always agree with finid, but his reviews tend to be more balanced than others.
The problem is a distro's fanboys always want to attack a reviewer if the review is not of the glowing type.
Not true as their is no perfect operating system, but it is too easy for someone to put in a disk and use it for 5 minutes and claim it be buggy. Nothing was said as to what issue they ran into. A lot of reviewers do not even understand what they are testing. I posted my other comment to inform the reviewer of what they were testing.
We have no problem with feedback, but provide details. Stating it was buggy doesn't help any developer of any kind. It shows that the person behind the keyboard doesn't know what they are doing. We do not claim to be bug free on a bleeding edge system, but people need to visit our bugzilla page and provide info so it can get things corrected. Help us make the world a better place by giving proper feedback.
I do not always agree with finid, but his reviews tend to be more balanced than others.
Finid's reviews can be quite thorough and, while many of his obsessions are not mine, I do find that they are usually worth reading.
This one, though, is incredibly short compared to what he normally posts. I get the sense that he's just booted up the distro, though "Oh, not much there" and immediately given up.
That you did not reference any issues he raised about this Xfce edition tells me the review is probably right on target, which makes it a good quality review, rather than what you call a "poor quality" review.
I did right away:
"Keep in mind that the spins are experimental and little testing has been done on them. Sabayon official releases are the KDE and Gnome editions"
Keep in mind that the spins are experimental and little testing has been done on them. Sabayon official releases are the KDE and Gnome editions, wish the title of this was Sabayon XFCE 5.5 Review instead of Sabayon 5.5 Review. I also wish that people that did reviews would do their homework and know this.

For Starkville Daily News
In announcing his candidacy for the office of Oktibbeha County Supervisor in District 3, Dennis "Denny Daniels made the following statement:
"I am Dennis 'Denny' Daniels, a candidate for Oktibbeha County Supervisor in District 3. I offer you numerous qualifications with life experience, work experiences and educational experiences.
"Born and raised in Oktibbeha County, I began service to my community as a young boy in the Boy Scouts of America where I earned the rank of Eagle Scout. After high school, I worked my way through college as a dispatcher and jailer with the Oktibbeha County Sheriff's office and later as a Police Officer with the City of Starkville. After receiving my bachelor's degree, I returned to the sheriff's department where I served for many years as a deputy sheriff.
"During this same time period, I also served our community, state and country as a member of the Mississippi Army National Guard. I've had over 18 years of military service with six of those years being on active duty with the Army, serving overseas in Bosnia and Iraq. During my time of service, I earned the rank of captain and was a battery commander in combat in Iraq where I was responsible for 100 fellow soldiers and over $500 million worth of military equipment.
"While in Iraq, I was wounded in combat. I was awarded the Purple Heart and the Bronze Star. These injuries led to my retirement from law enforcement and the military. After my military service, the Veterans Administration afforded me the opportunity to further my education. I returned to Mississippi State University where I will graduate in December with a master's degree in public policy and administration. I will strive to utilize this education along with my life and work experiences for the benefit of all the citizens of Oktibbeha County.
"I have experience in construction of homes, roads and levees. Along with that are hundreds of hours of experience in the operation and the maintenance of heavy equipment. I want to use this experience to ensure that county equipment is maintained at a high level thus to reducing operating costs and prolonging the life of the equipment.
"Furthermore, I have political experience serving as vice-chairman of the North Central Mississippi Regional Railroad Authority, a public board charged with re-opening a rail line through Oktibbeha County in order to attract economic development to the area.
"I believe in being fiscally responsible and feel that the County should seek more efficient ways to operate and utilize the best management practices wherever possible.
"I believe in a transparent government in which citizens are openly aware of actions taken by the board of supervisors and are actively involved in the process through citizen advisory committees. I will be responsive to the public and will be available to take your calls and address your concerns.
"I believe local governments within the area could cooperate and find ways to work together in order to offer more efficient services.
"I will work hard to bring new businesses, new jobs, and new economic development to Oktibbeha County.
"I would like to ask for your support and vote in the Nov. 8 general election.
"Please visit my profile online at www.facebook.com/dennisdennydaniels or call 662-418-2071 if you have any questions or comments.

Read an excerpt from Lauren Conrad's novel
Look out world! It seems Lauren Conrad wasn't kidding when she said she was "writing" a novel.
Teen Vogue got their mitts on two pages of the young adult novel titled, L.A. Candy, due out June 16. What's it about? I hear you ask. Well, it's about a girl named Jane who moves to Hollywood and lands her own reality show (sounding familiar yet?). Jane soon finds the pressures and pains of being the star of her own somewhat rehearsed reality show a drag.
In other words, it's bound to mirror LC's own life and the reasons behind why she has decided to leave The Hills. Click here to read an excerpt.

Juba — Lam Akol, the leader of the main opposition party in South Sudan returned to the country on Saturday, bringing to an end over two years of self-imposed exile.
Lam, who heads the Sudan Peoples Liberations Movement for Democratic Change (SPLM-DC), returned nearly a month after president Salva Kiir unexpectedly issued an executive order pardoning key opposition leaders and a number of former militia commanders.
He was accused of supporting a rebellion in his home state of Upper Nile to destabilise the country, an allegation he repeatedly denied.
On arrival at Juba airport, however, the SPLM-DC leader said he was happy to return home, adding it was time for South Sudanese to put aside their differences and work together for prosperity.
"The time has come for all the people of South Sudan to come together and work for the success of this new nation," Lam told reporters in the capital, Juba.
Akol, a former member of the governing Sudan People's Liberation Movement (SPLM), previously served as Sudan's minister of foreign affairs from 2005 to October 2007 under the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) signed in 2005.
In 2010, he unsuccessfully challenged Kiir for the presidency, garnering only 7% of votes in an election, which he claimed, was highly flawed in favour of the incumbent.
A section of the country's population expressed mixed reactions over Kiir's decision to pardon his main rival in the elections, while others questioned his intentions.
"Much as I welcome the decision of the president to pardon those militia leaders, which is a sign of peace and harmony, I do not understand what crime has Lam Akol committed for him to be included", said a citizen, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
"The president is being misled. Being in opposition does not amount to rebellion", he added.
Simon Deng, a native of Jonglei based in Juba said he was still not aware of what charges Akol was being pardoned for.
"I have never heard what he was accused of. I thought he was only being criticised for staying in Khartoum. Is the pardon for having been self-exiled, or what? I do not understand. What really has [he] done?" asked Deng.
Urbano Othwon, a native of Upper Nile state currently based in Juba, said the government could not substantiate the claims it made, even when it was challenged to prove it in court.
"It was just allegations. The government could not provide proof of the allegations. Lam and the SPLM-DC leadership went to court with the SPLM in Khartoum he won the case when Sudan was still one country. So, the issuance of the order of pardon is misplaced, though the intention of the president may be for good reason", he said.
