Salvatore was very nice and gave us some tips for Nice. He explained everything detailed and was trustworthy. The location and the apartment itself were ok but there was a huge problem with it: when you opened the window it smelled really bad, as if we were living in a cloaca ... We mentioned the problem to Salvatore and he said sorry and hopefully the bad smell vanished until the morning. It was the first night and we thought ok, we wait until the next morning. Because we couldn't open the window the apartment was very stuffy and we had only an electric fan which wasn't a big help. The next morning it was ok so we thought it was good now but soon the bad smell blew up again and it was useless to wait till the smell vanishes. In the four days we opened the window for about 5 minutes. In the corridor outside there was better air than inside the apartment. Unfortunately the apartment was not amazing but sunny all right.
Nice city was amazing and we had a lot of fun but the situation in the apartment ruined our holiday a little. We went unwillingly to the apartment and only to sleep. We left as early as possible and came back as late as possible. I hope the smell-problem is solved until the next guest arrives at the apartment otherwise they would have the same bad expirience like us.
Such a disappointment.
At the time we arrived to Nice, we had to meet Salvatore at the agency he works for. Salvatore was really kind with us and explained very well how to get to the apartment and some other things, such as supermarkets around the area, etc.
When we firstly got the apartment it looked pretty good, the apartment was setted up and clean.
A nasty smell came from the outside, we read about this smell in the street in other comments but did not really give it importance.
The smell was like a mix between cats pee and poo, which made us unable to open the window for the entire stay. To make it worse, the smell sometimes came from the bathroom. In addition, the apartment was very warm and humid. At least Salvatore had the detail of leaving a fan in the apartment.
Die Schlüsselübergabe verlief reibungslos und unkompliziert.
Die Wohnung liegt sehr zentral, direkt an der großen Einkaufsstraße und nur eine viertel Stunde zum wunderschönen Strand entfernt.
Lediglich die Parksituation in Nizza und an der Wohnung ist schwierig. Es lohnt sich etwas außerhalb einen Parkplatz zu suchen und die Stadt zu Fuß oder mit öffentliche Verkehrsmittel zu erkunden.
Salvatore muy atento y amable, nos lo explicó todo super bien. El apartamento limpio y con todo lo necesario.
El problema fue que el WIFI no funcionaba muy bien y que no podíamos abrir la ventana porque subía un OLOR HORRIBLE de la calle y estábamos a 30 grados solo con un ventilador (ni aire acondicionado) con la ventana cerrada porqué era imposible respirar con ese olor.
Si pusieran aire acondicionado, el problema se solucionaría!
Es handelt sich hier zwar um eine Agentur jedoch empfinde ich das nicht als negativ.Das Apartment war super.groß genug für zwei Personen.Die Toilettentür ging nicht gut zu und das Fenster konnte man tatsächlich (wie in vorherigen Komentaren geschrieben) wegen des Gestanks nicht öffnen. Nichts desto trotz wE die Lage spitze,es war sauber und für eine Reise nach Nizza nur zu empfehlen ä.
We stayed in a great apartment in a great location right at the top of the shopping street in Nice. The apartment had all the necessary equipment. But the apartment lacks air conditioning, which means you have to have the window up around the clock. And it can be both noise from traffic and odors that might be a little uncomfortable. But the apartment was great.
My husband and I had to leave the apartment after 2 nights. It was not "amazing" as the description says and this is for several reasons:
First of all, it is way to small and stuffy. But this would not be a problem if we could at least open a window. It was like 40 degrees there and absolutely no air.
Now the actual reason, why we could not open the window: these are the neighbors one floor down. We don't know, what was going on there, but it strongly smelled like human urin. Once you open the window, the smell just hits you right into your face and it smells like this in the whole apartment within 5 minutes. Just impossible...so we had to keep the window closed.
We wrote about this problem to Salvatore (whom we also did not get to know personally, just his cousin) on the very first evening and he promised us to find another flat for me and my husband. However, he contacted us on this regard first one day later in the evening (with no solution) and we had to stay there for another night. In the morning we have checked out and had to book another hotel in a rush.
We have to admit, that having such a neighbors is not Salvatore's fault, but there must be done something about it. And the guest have to be informed about this problem!
This situation has destroyed two days of our vacation in Nice and provided us a lot of stress, bad mood and costed us money, because it was very expensive to book another hotel in such a rush.
Salvatore has transferred us money back and we appreciate it, but still first after a couple of reminders...
We are sorry Salvatore, but for these reasons we can not give you a good feedback.
Natalia & Lars
I was only 1 houer in the "amazing sunny Appartment" and i leave the Appartment. I was disappointed about the Appartment. It was not sunny sorry to say that. On the pics looks good but not in real.
Fue todo perfecto, la recepción fue muy buena y cualquier problema fue arreglado con brevedad
Los defectos: hay bichos, estuvimos 4 noches y aparecieron en total unos 14 bichos(muy asquerosos y de unos 3-4cm) y a la hora de ventilar la calle olía mal.
Quitando estos 2 defectos muy contento

Massive security flaw left much of internet exposed
(NEWSER) – A major flaw in one of the Internet's chief security methods has exposed users' confidential information to hackers for the last two years, security researchers revealed Monday night. The "Heartbleed" bug affects the OpenSSL security protocol used by some two-thirds of websites to protect sensitive data as it moves back and forth. Major websites are scrambling fix the problem (Yahoo did so yesterday), reports the BBC, but experts suggest users change their passwords as soon as they are sure the sites they use are secure—or even avoid the Internet for a few days. "I would change every password everywhere," one tells the AP.

Template:K Precise/Wiki
Wiki software
Wiki software allows an organization to have a manual that can be edited by a number of collaborators. Wikipedia is the best known example.
MediaWiki is the free, open source server software that Wikipedia uses. It is scalable to very large uses. It runs on the LAMP server stack (which uses the MySQL database and is available as an installation option with the (K)ubuntu server), or it can be used with a PostgreSQL database. See these detailed instructions. (Other instructions are also available here.) Install from the repositories:
sudo apt-get install mediawiki
- Edit the config file so it recognizes MediaWiki:
sudo nano /etc/mediawiki/apache.conf
Uncomment (remove the #) the line:
Alias /mediawiki /var/lib/mediawiki
- Restart apache2:
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
- Run/install MediaWiki by logging into:
- You will be prompted for configuration variables to be set. The trickiest is the MySQL user/password. Hopefully you remember your MySQL superuser that you set at the time of LAMP (or MySQL) installation.
- Copy your local settings configuration file to /etc/mediawiki (and make a backup of the original):
sudo cp /var/lib/mediawiki/config/LocalSettings.php /etc/mediawiki sudo mv /var/lib/mediawiki/config/LocalSettings.php /var/lib/mediawiki/config/LocalSettings_at_install.php
Edit your configuration variables there:
sudo kate /etc/mediawiki/LocalSettings.php
- If you are using a virtual host server, make a symbolic link (named in this example mywiki) from your /usr/share/mediawiki installation folder to your /var/www folder:
sudo ln -s /usr/share/mediawiki /var/www/mywiki
then make sure you have an apache2 virtual hosts configuration file (in /etc/apache2/sites-available) that points to /var/www/mywiki as the DocumentRoot. Make a symbolic link from your virtual host configuration file in /etc/apache2/sites-available to /etc/apache2/sites-enabled to enable it. Restart apache2 after enabling the sites. (Warning: MediaWiki is not secure at installation and can be easily hacked by new users. Do not publish your wiki to the Internet before reading all the instructions and changing the configuration file (LocalSettings.php) so that it is more secure.) You would then access the database at:
Moin Moin
Moin Moin is free, open source (GPL-licensed) wiki software written using Python, with a large community of users, including the Apache, Debian, and Ubuntu wikis. See these Ubuntu installation instructions. Install:
sudo apt-get install python-moinmoin
Twiki is an open source wiki engine used by many small to medium size companies internally. It has an active development team with multiple plugins. See the website for installation instructions. Install:
sudo apt-get install twiki
TiddlyWiki is an open source personal wiki. It is ideal for creating a list of things to do, note taking, or as a collaboration tool for a small team. It is a single HTML file that can reside on your computer or can even be uploaded to a web server and be used as a simple website. It is developed using a Firefox browser as an interface. Installation instructions are on the website.

Binge watching is lame and lonely
When my brother, Reginald, turned 16, he was filled with excitement and anticipation.
He was now legal to get a driver's permit that would allow him to drive our family car.
When he went to my dad with the news, the joy was a one-way street.
"What do you plan to drive?" my dad asked.
"The car," Reggie replied.
"What car?" my dad inquired.
"That car," he said, pointing to the driveway.
"My car? Oh hell no. You're not driving my car at 16. I'm not going to have my car insurance skyrocket. You better wait until you're 18 before you drive anything," dad said.
He made clear to him—and to me since I am one year and one day younger than my brother—that patience mattered, and that it's not always necessary to be in a rush.
That has always stuck with me. Folks are so in a hurry to have sex these days that even 15 is an eternity. Others have desired that big job with the big salary even though they really weren't ready for all that it entailed. We truly live in a "Now! Now! Now!" world that doesn't appreciate waiting.
So forgive me if I'm not one of the folks who planned my Valentine's weekend around the season 2 premiere of House of Cards. Fans of the show were ready to ignore everything that night and on the weekend to watch all of the episodes of the show.
Ever since Netflix debuted Cards last year, the concept of binge viewing has skyrocketed. Fed up with the old system of networks dictating to us when we could watch a show and having to wait for them to dole out episodes on their schedule, today's consumer has made it clear that not only do we want to watch a show anytime we want, on any device that we want, but let's see all of it right now.
I'm a huge TV fan. Always have and always will. I despise most of reality television, preferring scripted fair. My DVR is filled with shows like Scandal, House of Lies, Californication, The Blacklist, Mad Men, Ray Donovan, Masters of Sex, and I can go on and on (sitcoms need not apply).

Boston Celtics dealing Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce to Brooklyn is a shocker on so many levels
For years, we've known what the Brooklyn Nets were doing. General manager Billy King has basically attempted to latch on to the biggest names available, no matter the basketball price, the actual payroll figure, or potential fit with his incumbent roster.
Boston's most recent motives were also clear. We knew the Boston Celtics were rebuilding. We just have no clue why they're going about it this way.
As was first reported and then broken by Yahoo! Sports' Adrian Wojnarowski, the Boston Celticshave sent the two remaining players from their 2008 NBA Finals-winning "Big Three" to Brooklyn. Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce will go to the Nets in exchange for Gerald Wallace, Kris Humphries, Kris Joseph, Reggie Evans, and a signed-and-traded Keith Bogans. Jason Terry will also head to the Nets, who will also send Boston about as many first round picks as it legally can – the team's 2014, 2016, and 2018 first rounders, along with the right for Boston to switch 2017 first rounders if Brooklyn's pick is higher.
On the surface, this seems like your typical fire sale return, even given the status of KG and Pierce. A deeper look reveals something more troubling for Boston fans.
It's understandable that Boston wanted to engage a rebuilding process, as the team wasn't exactly threatening to be an Eastern powerhouse even before Rajon Rondo's ACL tear in March. Garnett and Pierce had various contract options, though, that allowed for one last go of things next year under a brand new coach, or a chance to buy out and waive Pierce on Friday and Garnett the next summer. Neither would be ideal, because Garnett would be the wolf left amongst the veterans, playing for a team that probably wouldn't make the playoffs.
Teams don't rebuild with this sort of payroll, though. The Celtics will still be way over the cap next season, and the team enters the 2014 offseason right at the salary cap level due to Wallace's massive deal (three years, and $33 million after 2012-13), with restricted free agent Avery Bradley ready to hit a market that will have scads of teams working with cap space, and several roster spots left to fill.
Real cap relief, the hallmark for any rebuilding team, won't really set in until the 2015 offseason. And that's when Rajon Rondo, sick of it all, could flee as a free agent. By the way, Gerald Wallace will still be on the books (two full years after the Chicago Bulls basically ignored him on offense during Brooklyn's first round loss earlier this year) for over $10.1 million.
The reward for all this cash, and all this patience? Most likely four of the Nets' upcoming five first round picks.
Is that worth it? I understand that Garnett only had a few teams he would propose waiving his no-trade clause for, to say nothing of the massive salaries KG ($11.5) and Pierce ($16.7) are set to make next season, but was this the best Danny Ainge could do? It's not even a deal that was only NBA-legal on NBA draft night, either, as the deal can't formerly be announced until July 10. There were no timely stipulations, outside of a mutual insistence on getting it done, that forced the teams to agree to it on June 27.
It's not all that great for the Nets, either. Or, more specifically, the outlook isn't all that bright despite all these famous players that you've heard a lot about.

Digital harassment is the new means of domestic abuse
When most hear the words "domestic violence," the image of someone physically battered comes to mind. But technology is increasingly replacing fists as the weapon of choice in abusive relationships.
Katie Ray-Jones, president of the National Domestic Violence Hotline, explained that one of the goals of Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month this February is to educate teens and their parents about the perils of dating abuse in all its forms. Ray-Jones explained that in recent years they have seen a significant increase in the number of girls contacting the Hotline to report treatment by their boyfriends that didn't fit traditional definitions of violence but certainly constituted abuse.
"What we're hearing a lot on the hotline and prompted us to engage in a digital abuse awareness strategy was a lot of young people were talking about their partner—boyfriend or girlfriend—constantly texting them and if they don't respond in appropriate time there are repercussions and a fight breaks out," she said. Others reported their partners "constantly texting them to know where they are and who they are talking to."
Some reported their boyfriends threatened to post demeaning photos of them on social media if the teens disobeyed their commands. Others said their boyfriends set up fake Facebook accounts to test whether or not they were interacting with members of the opposite sex without permission. In what sounded like a particularly extreme case of technology being used as a form of control, one teen reported her boyfriend would text her on a designated schedule so he could be sure she wasn't with someone else cheating. When he would sleep, he had his friends continue texting her on the schedule, and whether she was trying to sleep or not she was expected to reply or face physical violence. This story sounded hard to believe until I spoke with Brittny Henderson a 23-year-old victim of dating abuse, much of it carried out through technology before allegedly escalating to physical violence.
Henderson was a freshman at the University of Wisconsin when she attended a speech on dating abuse. The speaker was sharing the story of his daughter who had been in an abusive relationship. "Everything he said about her had happened to me," she said. "That presentation hit home and it hit hard. It opened my eyes to the fact that I had been in abusive relationship." It was also "the first time I'd even heard the term dating abuse," she said.
As a shy high-school freshman, Henderson was pursued by senior who was a popular football star. She felt so in awe that he expressed interest in her that she never questioned the appropriateness of some of his behavior. Initially it began with him regularly critiquing her appearance, reminding her that many girls wondered why he had chosen to be with "someone like her." But the real warning sign she now realizes was the amount of time he expected her to be available to him by phone. Henderson explained that he would often spend time at her home when they weren't at school together, and after her parents would ask him to leave, he would call her and ask to stay on the phone with him for the entire drive home. After both dressed for bed, he would call her again. "I would wake up to his voice screaming at me on the phone because I had fallen asleep," she said.

Mummified Detroit woman somehow voted in 2010
(NEWSER) – It's unclear how she managed it, but a woman who is thought to have died in 2008 apparently voted in the 2010 midterm elections. That woman: Pia Farrenkopf, believed to be the identity of the person found mummifiedin a garage in Pontiac, Mich. Voting records show Farrenkopf voted in 2010, the Detroit Free Press reports, but it's possible that there was a clerical error, officials say. It's just part of the continuing mystery.

Fujifilm X100 DxOMark ReviewMonday April 18 2011 Sensor Review
High Tech in a Classic Package: The Hybrid Viewfinder
The X100 has been one of the most anticipated compact cameras. Although it looks like an old rangefinder, it is a very modern device. Its most obvious innovation is its hybrid viewfinder that combines both an optical viewfinder and an electronic one, projecting the information from the electronic viewfinder onto the optical one. And this really works!
Quite Possibly The Best in its Class
The X100 combines a 12-megapixel APS-C sensor with a fixed 23-millimeter lens (equivalent to a 35mm). For a compact camera; the X100 sits well on the upper-end range, (around 1,000 USD).
Nevertheless, it could be the case that its high price tag matches its high sensor performance making it the best mirrorless camera available so far.
Our Analysis Procedure
We will compare how the X100 performs in contrast with the NEX-5, Sony's top APS-C mirrorless unit, not only that but we will also compare it to mid-range DSLRs units as the EOS 60D and the Nikon D90.
Bare with us; comparing a small, mirrorless camera to much bulkier DSLR models might seem awkward or unfair at first sight, but doing so may answer one crucial question: could the X100 be the "everyday" camera for the much more demanding DSLR enthusiasts?
The key to answering this question lies in its sensor performance and how it will fare compared to those of DSLRs.
Further readings for the Fujifilm X100 DxOMark Review
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
Last year, photography headlines noted a revival of enthusiasm in the old-fashioned camera sector.
The most active manufacturers for this segment were Olympus with its PEN camera and Fujifilm, with its Fuji X100 one of the most acclaimed cameras of 2011.
When Fujifilm launched the X100, they certainly didn't expect it to raise so much interest among photography enthusiasts. Earlier this week, they announced the Fujifilm XPro1, which more specifically targets this demanding market.
As you well know, DxOMark, the world leader in image quality analysis conducts scientific and independent testing on the latest camera sensor technology available. This time around we have Fujifilm's latest creation; the FinePix X100 an APS-C camera with an impressive array of features, and one of the most awaited products in its category. Find out Fujifilm FinePix X100's review results...

Vince Neil's AFL ownership claims premature
Listen to Motley Crue on iHeartRadio
Vince Neil's Arena Football team ownership isn't quite a done deal. The Jacksonville Sharks management has issued a statement saying the Motley Crue frontman is still "in talks" with the team about becoming a minority partner.
Sharks rep Jeff Bouchy adds that "those discussions do not include moving the team to another market." Bouchy admits the rocker "has aspirations" to launch an expansion team in his hometown of Las Vegas, Nevada. But he explains that if Neil becomes a Sharks co-owner he'll help to "elevate the Sharks brand on a local and national level" in Jacksonville, Florida, and in exchange learn about the business of the sport.
Neil reportedly told a Las Vegas newspaper earlier this week that he was a new Sharks owner. He also mentioned introducing an AFL team to Vegas, but didn't specifically say he intended to move the Sharks out of Florida.

After his kid's high school football team loses 91-0, dad files BULLYING complaint
A father in Texas has filed a formal complaint charging the coaches at Aledo High School with bullying after the Aledo High Bearcats beat the tar out of the Cougars of Western Hills High School by a score of 91-0 on Friday night.
The man's son plays on the Western Hills High football team.
School officials at Aledo High on the outskirts of Fort Worth have made a copy of the complaint publicly available, reports Dallas-area ABC affiliate WFAA. The father's name is blacked out.
"We all witnessed bullying first hand, it is not a pretty sight," the complaint reads.
"I did not know what to say on the ride home to explain the behavior of the Aledo coaches for not easing up."

Fort Hood shooter saw no combat: Army
(NEWSER) – More background but no answers in the case of yesterday's shooting at Fort Hood: The Army today confirmed that the gunman worked as a truck driver in Iraq from August to December 2011. He saw no combat, and the AP reports that his service record contains no mention of a Purple Heart, indicating he was never injured on the job. Those records show "no direct involvement in combat ... or any injury that might lead us to further investigate battle-related TBI (traumatic brain injury)," said Army Secretary John McHugh today. Gunman Ivan Lopez did, however, "self-report" a TBI. More:
- House Homeland Security Committee chair Michael McCaul has confirmed the gunman's identity as Lopez, but military officials are still declining to do so, pending notification of his family. There's someone else not using his name: Fox News' Megyn Kelly. Politico reports that she has made it a policy not to use his name, or that of any other mass killer, on the Kelly File; her guests, which today included McCaul, refrained from using his name as well. "Too often it is infamy they seek," she said, "and we decline to help."
- What McHugh did disclose about the shooter: He's a Puerto Rico native who joined the island's National Guard in 1999 and served on a yearlong peace-keeping mission in Egypt's Sinai Peninsula in the mid-2000s. He then enlisted with the Army in 2008.

- INTERPOL Bucharest
Member since :
7 September 1923
Romanian Police Force
The Romanian Police is the national police force and main civil law enforcement agency in Romania. It is part of the Ministry of Administration.
The Romanian Police is responsible for:
- Protection of fundamental rights and freedom;
- Protection of private and public property;
- Prevention and identification of criminal offences and their perpetrators;
- Maintaining public order.
The Romanian Police Headquarters – known as the "General Inspectorate" – coordinates police action across the country. It investigates major cases related to serious, organized and financial crime. The General Inspectorate is under the command of an Inspector General appointed by the Minister of Administration and Interior.
The principal units of the General Inspectorate include:
- Criminal Investigations Directorate;
- Firearms, Explosives and Toxic Substances Directorate;
- Fraud Investigations Directorate;
- Independent Service of Special Interventions and Operations;
- Institute of Forensics;
- International Police Cooperation Centre;
- Organized Crime Directorate;
- Public Order Directorate.
INTERPOL Bucharest
Under the direct command of the Inspector General, the INTERPOL National Central Bureau (NCB) for Romania is part of the International Police Cooperation Centre.
Staffed by 36 police officers, INTERPOL Bucharest is made up of two units:
- International Wanted Persons and Extradition:
- International search for wanted persons;
- Extraditions;
- Arrest warrants;
- Transfer of convicted persons.
- Identification and Documentation:
- Organized crime;
- Serious criminal offences;
- Rogatory letters;
- Identification of persons;
- Identity and travel documents;
- Identification of unidentified bodies.
As part of a strategy to boost national security and prevent criminal activity in Romania, INTERPOL Bucharest recently integrated INTERPOL's databases into the Romanian police network. This means that police across the country have instant and automated access to INTERPOL's information on wanted people, stolen passports and stolen vehicles. With this new capacity, almost 60,000 law enforcement officials across the country can quickly determine if a person is a potential threat.
Additionally, in 2010, INTERPOL Bucharest arranged for the Romanian Special Bureau for Combating Organized Crime to be connected to INTERPOL's International Child Sexual Exploitation Image Database.
INTERPOL Bucharest works with all member countries on investigations requiring input from Romanian law enforcement authorities, and responds to NCB requests for assistance and information.
The NCB is operational 24 hours a day. A permanent decision-making process is in place, enabling staff to initiate and carry out enquiries and investigations.

Kubuntu Oneiric System Administration
User Administration
Users and Groups
- K Menu -> System -> System Settings -> Advanced -> User Management
- Add New Users
- K Menu -> System -> System Settings -> Advanced -> User Management -> User Accounts -> Add
- Remove Users
- K Menu -> System -> System Settings -> Advanced -> User Management -> User Accounts -> user -> Delete
- Modify Users
- K Menu -> System -> System Settings -> Advanced -> User Management -> User Accounts -> user -> Modify
It is quite often necessary to have extra privileges to do certain tasks. These privileges are assigned to your user by belonging to certain groups. The tasks are allowed to be performed by any user belonging to the group associated with that task.
- Example: a "sudoer" is a user who can perform certain administrative tasks, such as updating the system. To become a "sudoer" a user must belong to the "sudo" group.
- K Menu -> System -> System Settings -> Advanced -> User Management -> User Accounts -> user -> Modify -> Privileges and Groups --> sudo (ticked)
To become an administrator, you must belong to the adm, admin, and sudo groups. To be a virtualbox user, you must belong to the virtualbox group. To change printer settings you must belong to lpadmin. To use the cdrom, you must belong to cdrom. To use hot-pluggable devices, you must belong to plugdev. To share Samba folders (on a Windows-based network), you must belong to sambashare. To access NTFS files using the virtual filesystem fuse, you must belong to the fuse group. To use many games, you must belong to the games group. The list is long, and not always obvious.
Unfortunately, while this is the feature that gives Linux such a high-level of security, it can also take diligence to remember to add your user to certain groups. It is not uncommon for programs and functions on your system not to work merely because you don't have privileges to do so because you forgot to add your user to the appropriate group(s).
Of most importance, you must already be an administrator in order to change membership in groups. Therefore, if you create a new user and intend to give that user administrative privileges (by assigning the user to the administrative groups), you must do so from your original administrator account (the one you set up at installation) or from another administrative user account.
PolicyKit-KDE is the KDE frontend for PolicyKit, a toolkit for controlling system-wide user privileges.
Timekpr (Parental controls)
Timekpr is a program to track and control the computer usage of user accounts. (This is different from KTimeTracker, which merely records your usage but does not restrict it.) It is available from a Launchpad PPA.
- If updating, remove any prior versions:
sudo dpkg --purge timekpr
- Add the timekpr third-party repositories:
deb deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/timekpr-maintainers/ppa/ubuntu oneiric main deb-src deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/timekpr-maintainers/ppa/ubuntu oneiric main
- Install:
sudo apt-get install timekpr
- When prompted which default display manager to use, select "kdm"
- Start:
- K menu -> System -> Timekpr Control Panel
Web content filtering
DansGuardian provides web filtering capability, similar to NetNanny. It is useful for limitng objectionable content in publicly accessible workstations, or for filtering objectionable content for younger users. It integrates with ClamAV, and uses several criteria for filtering websites (which is difficult to modify). It is used with Tinyproxy (best for individual users) or the Squid proxy (best for a network server). Install:
sudo apt-get install dansguardian tinyproxy
- or
sudo apt-get install dansguardian squid
See these installation instructions for setup details. In brief,
- Edit the dansguardian configuration file:
sudo nano /etc/dansguardian/dansguardian.conf
- comment out the UNCONFIGURED line:
- If using tinyproxy instead of Squid, change the proxyport to 8888:
proxyport 8888
- Reinstall dansguardian:
sudo apt-get install --reinstall dansguardian
- Set your browser to use the localhost:8080 proxy. For example, in Firefox:
- Firefox -> Edit -> Preferences -> Advanced -> Network -> Settings
- Manual proxy configuration -> HTTP proxy: localhost -> Port: 8080
- A Webmin module is available to administer settings. Also, a GUI to change Dansguardian settings called Webstrict is in development.
System Administration
Automating Tasks (cron)
- Cron is a system daemon that runs tasks in the background according to instructions found in a crontab file. To edit the crontab file for the current user:
crontab -e
Tasks that normally require administrative (sudo) privileges should be added to the root user's crontab:
sudo crontab -e
Add commands using the format specified here (or see the Ubuntu Community Help). The crontab command format can also be found using:
man crontab
- Scheduled/automated tasks (cron events) can also be edited using a KDE GUI interface for cron. Install the configuration module:
sudo apt-get install kde-config-cron
- K menu -> System -> System Settings -> Task Scheduler
KWallet (Password Manager)
KWallet is a password manager for the KDE desktop. Refer to the handbook for detailed usage instructions. If a password is not desired to be used for an application, merely leave the password blank when prompted.
Boot Menu
Login Menu settings
You can change the Login menu settings from the GUI interface:
K menu -> System Settings -> Advanced -> Login Manager
You can choose an integrated theme or select individual components of the login screen/process.
GRUB boot manager settings
Oneiric comes with Grub2, a difficult boot manager to customize. (Grub2 is also known as grub-pc.) See the evolving instructions at the Ubuntu wiki or Ubuntu forums. In brief, some settings can be edited:
sudo nano /etc/default/grub sudo grub-mkconfig --output=/boot/grub/grub.cfg
Alternatively, use the command:
sudo update-grub
Grub2 background image, colors, fonts
- See this Ubuntu Forums thread.
- Any background image can be used for Grub2 by placing the image in the /boot/grub folder and then reconfiguring Grub2:
sudo update-grub
The image ought to be the same size as the Grub2 startup resolution specified in /etc/default/grub (e.g. 1024x768).
- A selection of splashimages can be installed into the /usr/share/images/grub folder:
sudo apt-get install grub2-splashimages
- One of the images can be linked to the /boot/grub folder and used as the splash image. For example:
sudo ln -s /usr/share/images/grub/Plasma-lamp.tga /boot/grub sudo update-grub
Grub2 configuration
- A KDE-based frontend to Grub2 configuration can be installed:
sudo apt-get install kde-config-grub2
- K Menu -> System -> System Settings -> Startup and Shutdown -> Grub2 Bootloader
Protecting Grub2 from cracking
- See this section of the Grub Manual for important information on securing Grub2.
- To add password protection, in the /etc/grub.d/40_custom configuration file, add the lines:
set superusers="user1" #password_pbkdf2 user1 grub.pbkdf2.sha512.10000.biglongstring password user1 insecurecleartextpassword
and change your password to something other than insecurecleartextpassword, or use the pbkdf2-encrypted method described here. You can then password-lock menu items as well. For detailed info see this blog.
Grub Legacy
The older version of GRUB ("Grub Legacy") is available, for use with a boot partition, for example. Install:
sudo apt-get install grub
- If you have multiple operating systems (OS) on your computer, you may be using the GRUB Legacy boot manager (in a boot partition, for example). You can edit the options for GRUB Legacy in the menu.lst configuration file. (See this detailed info.)
sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst
- (kate can also be used instead of nano as the text editor.)
Removing Grub2 entirely
Personally, I have had nothing but trouble with Grub2 since the beginning. Every version brings a new headache and one OS or another stops loading. I have reverted to Grub Legacy entirely by uninstalling Grub2 (grub-pc) prior to installing Grub Legacy (grub):
sudo apt-get remove grub-pc grub-common kde-config-grub2 --purge sudo apt-get install grub
Chainloading Grub2 from Grub Legacy
- Grub2 is erratic. I no longer chainload it. Instead, it is possible to bypass Grub2 entirely and load an OS directly using Grub Legacy (stored in a boot partition, for example) using an entry in menu.lst of the format:
title Kubuntu Oneiric OS (chainloader) rootnoverify (hd0,6) kernel /vmlinuz root=/dev/sda7 ro initrd /initrd.img
- My old method for chainloading Grub2 (installed in this example in the /dev/sda7 partition) from Grub Legacy used an entry in the Grub Legacy configuration file (/boot/grub/menu.lst, stored in the standalone boot partition with the Grub Legacy files) with this format:
title (K)Ubuntu Oneiric OS (chainloader) rootnoverify (hd0,6) kernel /boot/grub/core.img
Protecting Grub Legacy from cracking
- See this section of the Grub Manual for important information on securing Grub Legacy.
- To add password protection, in the /boot/grub/menu.lst configuration file, uncomment (remove the hashmark) from the line:
#password topsecret
and change your password to something other than topsecret, or use the md5-encrypted method described here. You can then password-lock menu items by adding the descriptor lock below the title of any item menu.
Default Applications
You can choose which program to use as your default program for a specific task.
- K menu -> System -> System Settings -> Default Applications
Kill a process
Sometimes a program (or "process") just freezes. To "kill" (or end) the program/process:
- K menu -> System -> System Monitor -> highlight the errant process -> Kill process
From the command line:
sudo killall process
- where process is the name of the frozen program, such as firefox.
Manage Bootup/Startup services
There are two ways to select which services should be started at bootup, and I recommend both. The KDE System Settings only shows KDE services, so the Bootup-Manager is also required to show any GTK-based services installed on your system. Preventing unneeded or unwanted services from loading at startup can improve system performance.
- Select KDE services to run at startup:
- K menu -> Settings -> System Settings -> Startup and Shutdown -> Service Manager
- Install the GTK-based Bootup-Manager:
sudo apt-get install bum
- Run Bootup-Manager:
- K menu -> Settings -> Bootup-Manager
Enabling NUM LOCK On Startup
- K Menu-> System -> System Settings -> Keyboard & Mouse -> Keyboard ->"turn on Numlock on KDE Startup"
Working with Menus
- There are two menu formats -- Kickoff Menu Style and Classic Menu Style. To swtich between the two, you must have the Widgets unlocked:
- Right-click K menu -> Unlock Widgets
the choose your menu style:
- Right-click K menu -> Switch to ... Menu Style
- To edit menus, unlock widgets as above, then:
- Right-click K menu -> Menu Editor
Create an encrypted folder
With Kubuntu, you can create a folder whose contents are encrypted. See these instructions.
Create a symlink from a file to another location
A symbolic link (also known as a symlink) is a method in Linux of referring to a file (or directory) in one location from another location. Usage:
ln -s /path/to/source /path/to/destination
If /path/to/destination requires superuser rights, then use:
sudo ln -s /path/to/source /path/to/destination
This is similar to, but more powerful than, creating Shortcuts, with which former Windows users may be familiar.
Assign a root password
To be able to log in as root directly, you must assign a root password. This can be done with:
sudo passwd root
Afterwards, you can use
to get a root prompt. You would then use the root password.
Get a root prompt without using a root password
If you have not set a root password (or don't know it), you can obtain root user privileges anyway. From the command-line terminal (Konsole):
sudo -s
- or
sudo su
- or
sudo bash
You will use your own user password instead of a root password.
You could also get a prompt to become any other user on the computer by typing:
sudo su <username>
Use the File Manager as root
sudo dolphin
- or
kdesu dolphin
- or
kdesu konqueror
Of course, you can make a Menu Item / Shortcut using either the kdesu dolphin or kdesu konqueror command, as well.
- When opening a file manager in this way, the default folder will be /root/. User files will be found by clicking on the "Root" icon and then navigating to the /home/user/ folder(s).
- It is also possible to open a file manager in the ~/ folder (i.e. /home/user/ folder) using
sudo dolphin
- There is a risk to doing this, however. Some files with user-level permissions may unpredictably be changed to root user (superuser) permissions (especially when copying or moving files) when the file manager is opened using sudo. It is worthwhile to double-check file permissions for unintended consequences. While I have never seen any problems using sudo dolphin, in general it is recommended to use kdesudo dolphin instead.
- A Root Actions Servicemenu is available for Dolphin in order to perform certain functions with root user (superuser) permissions. However, this service menu does not allow a user to enter folders that have root permissions unless Dolphin has been started using kdesudo dolphin.
Synchronize clock to network time server
The Network Time Protocol (NTP) allows time synchronization of your computer to time servers on the Internet.To enable it:
- K menu -> System Settings -> Date & Time
- Check the "Set date and time automatically" option
- Choose an ntp time server near you.
Manually Mount and Unmount a device
To manually mount a device:
sudo mount /dev/hda
replace /dev/hda with the location of the device.
To manually unmount a device:
sudo umount /dev/hda
replace /dev/hda with the location of the device.
Windows Compatibility
Mounting NTFS Partitions (with read/write privileges)
Install NTFS-3G, the NTFS manager:
sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g
Note: You should also be a member of the fuse group to use ntfs-3g.
Find out the name of your ntfs partition:
sudo fdisk -l
Method 1: In this example, the NTFS drive is listed by fdisk as /dev/sda2, but yours may differ.
Make a mount point for the drive:
sudo mkdir /media/WindowsNTFS
Edit fstab:
sudo nano /etc/fstab
Comment out the automatically added lines by Kubuntu installation:
#/dev/sda2 auto nouser,atime,noauto,rw,nodev,noexec,nosuid 0 0 #/dev/sda2 /mnt auto user,atime,noauto,rw,nodev,noexec,nosuid 0 0
and instead add the line:
/dev/sda2 /mnt/WindowsNTFS ntfs-3g quiet,defaults,rw 0 0
Note: There are many ways to mount the drive, depending on your needs. The fstab file controls this process. See How to edit and understand fstab and Intro to using fstab.
In this example, I indicated that the file system was an ntfs-3g filesystem, so did not use the auto option (which detects the filesystem automatically). I used rw to specify read/write privileges for all users, but umask=0 and umask=000 are accepted by some kernels.
Method 2: Edit fstab:
sudo nano /etc/fstab
When Kubuntu installation finishes, it mounts all ntfs partitions automatically with ntfsprogs, adding a line similar to the following to fstab:
UUID=8466268666267956 /media/sda1 ntfs defaults,gid=46 0 1
Change this line to:
UUID=8466268666267956 /media/sda1 ntfs-3g defaults,nls=utf8,locale=zh_CN.UTF-8,rw,gid=46 0 1
In this example, I have a Chinese-language Windows installation on my first partition, so I set the locale parameter (locale=zh_CN.UTF-8) so that my Chinese documents can display correctly. Setting rw (same as umask=0 or umask=000) lets me read/write the partition without sudo. gid=46 specifies that the drive will belong to the group of hot-pluggable devices (plugdev) and is not necessary unless your ntfs drive is a hot-pluggable one (such as an external USB drive). nls=utf8 is the default and is optional for most ntfs users, but there are other options for Chinese (and other specialized character-set users).
Mounting FAT32 Partitions
Follow the above instructions, but use vfat instead of ntfs-3g.
In other words, if you have made a mount point directory /mnt/WindowsFAT32 and your FAT32 drive is /dev/sda3, then edit the /etc/fstab file to include the line:
/dev/sda3 /mnt/WindowsFAT32 vfat quiet,defaults,rw 0 0

Richard Sherman: 'Thug' just an accepted version of N-Word
(NEWSER) – Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman found himself the center of a storm of controversy after he gave a loud, emotional post-game interview/rantmoments after his team beat the 49ers to make it to the Super Bowl. Many critics responded by calling Sherman a "thug" (the term was used an incredible 625 times on TV Monday, according to Deadspin)—and at a press conference yesterday, Sherman explained why that's not cool, the Huffington Post reports. "The only reason it bothers me is because it seems like it's the accepted way of calling somebody the N-word nowadays," he said. "It's like everyone else said the N-word, and they said 'thug' and they're like, 'Ah, that's fine.' That's where it kind of takes me aback and it's kind of disappointing."

WATCH: Michael Jackson teen dancer releases 'Smooth Criminal' video
Listen to Michael Jackson on iHeartRadio
The teenage dancer whose talent show performance of "Billie Jean" became a viral hit has released a follow-up.
Seventeen-year-old Michael Jackson dance-alike Brett Nichols is now taking on Jackson's "Smooth Criminal" in a new YouTube video posted this week. This time, Brett is shown dancing alone in a parking garage without his high school audience looking on.
According to Billboard, the new video comes after Jackson's camp caught Brett's "Billie Jean" performance and invited the teenager and his family to Las Vegas to see a performance of the Cirque du Soleil production, "Michael Jackson ONE."
Brett's original talent show video now has over 15 million views, and even helped bring the 1983 Jackson classic back to the singles chart. "Billie Jean" logged a number 14 ranking on Billboard's Hot 100 last week.

Yielded to Christ: In Every Trial There is a Blessing by Victoria Boyson
There is an unclean spirit whose sole purpose is to convince us that he is God. He comes sounding very much like God and plays on our weaknesses and on our sinful thoughts and desires. It is sent to deceive those who have a strong gift of intercession, and it seeks to gain access to our hearts and minds to use our prayers to bring harm to the Body of Christ. One of its goals is to cause our mouths to come into agreement with the realms of darkness.This demon may present himself as a gift of … [Read more...]
Living Every Moment Well by Robert Ricciardelli

Knowing God Beyond Knowing About God by Robert Ricciardelli
We can come to know God by learning about God, but knowing about God without really knowing Him relationally means nothing. We just need God, living, loving, moving, and having our being with Him.

Our willingness to illuminate and reflect our intimacy with Him is foundational in maturing us into the image of Christ and the power of His presence. Fear, inadequacies, and all obstacles are conquered … [Read more...]

Marine who saved pal from grenade to get Medal of Honor
(NEWSER) – A Marine credited with throwing himself on a grenade to save a buddy, suffering devastating injuries in so doing will become the third US marine of the Afghanistan and Iraq wars to receive the Medal of Honor, the Marine Corps Times reports. William Kyle Carpenter, now a 24-year-old medically retired corporal, dove on a grenade as the pair stood guard on a rooftop in Afghanistan in November 2010. The explosion shattered his jaw, broke his arm in several places, cost him his right eye and most of his teeth, and forced him to undergo more than 30 surgeries, while his friend, Nicholas Eufrazio, also suffered a brain injury so bad that he wasn't able to speak until recently.

After an exciting first week of high school football, I expect week 2 to be even more interesting.
The Beacon Journal's preseason No. 1 team, Tallmadge, defeated Cuyahoga Falls 17-14 in week 1. The close score makes me think that either Tallmadge is more vulnerable than I thought or Cuyahoga Falls is better than I thought. This week, Tallmadge plays Ellet and Cuyahoga Falls plays Wadsworth. I hope Friday's games reveal more about Tallmadge and Cuyahoga Falls because frankly, I was confused by their season opener.To read more or comment...

Are you growing bored, unappreciated or frustrated at work? A person's God-given temperament should always be considered when determining a career path. An assessment will be administered to assist in career/occupational guidance. This assessment will aid in understanding and identifying an individual's strengths, weaknesses, stressors, intellectual energies, decision making skills, and the desire to take on responsibilities. Based on the results of the assessment, and with my guidance, the client will become more aware of careers and/or jobs which may, or may not, serve them well in the areas of emotional and mental stimulation and satisfaction.

It can be very hard to find exactly what you want to do in life. Uncovering one's purpose, though supposedly intuitive, can be elusive and transitive. What's more, messages from friends, family and society can add to the confusion. You may feel like you know what you are doing right now is not quite right, but you are not sure what is the next step. Or the thing you love to do does not fit with other dreams you have for your life. Working together we will unpack the complex pieces of career and purpose, allowing you greater freedom and clarity from which to make decisions. You do not have to know right now what is next, only that you wish things to be different.

Jen Arnold of 'The Little Couple' battling rare cancer
Jen Arnold of "The Little Couple" is battling cancer.
The TLC star revealed the news on Friday.
"I have recently been diagnosed with a rare type of cancer and am currently undergoing treatment, including surgery and chemotherapy," said Arnold in a statement.
She continued, "I am very fortunate as the prognosis is good. While there is never a good time to get news like this, getting it just as we are building our new family is tough in many ways… But being surrounded by the love of my husband and our two beautiful children is actually in many ways giving me the strength to fight it even stronger."
Arnold and her husband Bill Klein, both of whom have dwarfism, are parents to two young adopted children — 3-year-old son Will and 2-year-old daughter Zoey.
On Friday, Klein tweeted, "My darling wife released today that she is currently battling a form of cancer. Prayers are welcome, hugs are not due to her weakened state."
"Thanks to everyone for your continued support," he added. "We appreciate everyone's generous well wishes and prayers. We will fight and we will win!"
We wish Arnold a swift return to good health.

You may well have 'caffeine use disorder'
(NEWSER) – You're probably aware of health concerns tied to coffee—but you may not know that your dependence could amount to a diagnosable problem. In a recent study, researchers find that Caffeine Use Disorder may be more of a problem than many doctors realize. "There is misconception among professionals and lay people alike that caffeine is not difficult to give up. However, in population-based studies, more than 50% of regular caffeine consumers report that they have had difficulty quitting or reducing caffeine use," says study author Laura Juliano via Eureka Alert.
Do you have the disorder? Quartz points to three key symptoms:
- You want, or have tried, to quit or reduce your caffeine intake.
- You know caffeine leads to health problems for you—it makes it hard to sleep, for instance—but you keep using the stuff.
- You suffer from withdrawal symptoms, which can include headaches or nausea, if you don't get your daily dose.

Death Benefit Scandal Is the Government Shutdown's Ultimate Insult
Three days after the government shut down and two days before he was killed, 19-year-old Marine Lance Cpl. Jeremiah Collins Jr. went on Facebook.
"Get it together Obama and not to mention Congress. Jesus! Make up your minds," Collins wrote on October 3 from Afghanistan. "I will protect…my country with my life, but do not go fucking with the men and women that protect your sorry asses."
Collins had enlisted in June 2012 immediately after graduating from Alexander Hamilton High School in Milwaukee. He did so with the knowledge that he would very likely be sent to a war that had begun when he was just 7, a war that was now all but forgotten and already lost.
Once in Afghanistan, he had nonetheless served with notable dedication, and he wrote in September of his sense of duty. He seems to have taken the government shutdown as a kind of betrayal. He suggested in the October 3 post that he might stage his own personal shutdown.
"I am out here in Afghan so I can't just leave, but I can sit the fuck down and not give two shits," he wrote.
Two days later, on October 5, Collins was killed in circumstances the Marine Corps described as "while supporting combat operations," adding only that "this incident is under investigation." Whatever the cause, whether hostile fire or mishap or anything else, the tragic result was the same.
The pain of Collins's loss was then compounded by an insult to his memory. The shutdown that had so disgusted him prompted the Defense Department to say it could not authorize payment to his family of the usual $100,000 death benefit. The money is intended to assist with travel to meet the body at Dover Air Force Base in Delaware and to cover funeral expenses.
His mother, Shannon Collins, who called the sight of two Marines in dress uniform appearing at her door "the ugliest vision I could ever see," counted herself lucky that her employer offered her paid leave. She proved as decent as her son when she wondered aloud how others who were less fortunate would fare. She herself had worries no mother of a fallen American service member should suffer as she consulted with a funeral director.
"Am I going to be on a payment plan for the rest of my life so that my son can have the services that he deserves?" she asked herself.
Just before the shutdown, the House of Representatives had passed the Pay Our Military Act to ensure that active service members would continue to get paychecks. Nobody seemed to pay specific attention to the needs of the families should their loved ones be killed in action.
