North American Handmade Bicycle Show (NAHBS) 2011: part 1
Bike industry icons Chris King and Tom Ritchey return to their roots
The North American Handmade Bike show (NAHBS) is now a mainstream draw for builders manufactures and riders alike. The continuous growth of the event's popularity has served to inspire iconic industry names to make new efforts — whether it be behind a lathe or torch — to better cater to the small builder and so that they too can stand by their own handcrafted goods.
Chris King expand Cielo frame range
Chris King's Cielo range of steel frames will include four more models to go along with the original collection, including two race-oriented road platforms, a dedicated cyclo-cross racer and new extra-small and extra-extra-small sizes for their big-wheeled hardtail.
The new Sportif Racer is based on the original Sportif but gets shorter chainstays, a shorter head tube, tighter clearances (meaning standard short-reach brakes), and new vertical dropouts. Barring special mounts like River City Bicycles' Reacharounds, there are no provisions for fenders or racks like on the original Sportif so it's expected that this new variant might be more appealing to riders living in drier climates outside of Chris King's Pacific Northwest headquarters. Suggested retail price for the frame and fork is US$1,895.
Cielo will also produce a small run of similar, but more exclusive, Sportif Racer Limited frames built with Columbus XCR stainless steel tubing. We expect the frame to offer a springier ride, while the material offers increased corrosion resistance. Cielo say the frame will also offer aesthetic upgrades including multi-media blasted logos. Final pricing is yet to be determined.
Cielo will soon offer the Sportif Racer Limited, built with Columbus XCR stainless steel tubing
Diehard cyclo-crossers get the new Cielo CX Racer, built with feedback from the Pedro's factory team who used the standard 'cross bike in 2010. Details include race-specific geometry with no fender mounts – or even bottle mounts – vertical dropouts, a slightly sloping top tube and an oversized head tube compatible with Chris King's latest InSet hidden-cup headset. Final pricing is yet to be determined.
Chris King displayed his own personal Cielo as well, built with stainless steel tubing. Naturally, there are a number of extra special touches including a modified Chris King Steelset integrated directly into the custom stainless steel lugs plus a stunning finish with see-through clear coated panels, which showcase the heat-treated tint on the bare tubes. And yes, King's bike is equipped with Campagnolo components but interestingly, not his own hubs. We're told the Campagnolo-compatible drivers for the R45 hubs are coming soon.

Chris King's iconic headset line grows, too. King showed new models specifically aimed at small builders at NAHBS. The Builder's Edition traditional headsets will be produced in limited quantities in polished and laser-etched stainless steel. Threadless fitments will be available in both 1in and 1-1/8in sizes while threaded ones will be offered in 1in only. NoThreadsets will also come with a matching stainless steel stem cap.
The Builder's Edition InSet, on the other hand, is aimed at custom builders who want to use a hidden-cup style headset but prefer a (very) slightly slimmer external head tube profile. As such, the Builder's Edition InSet is designed for 42.93mm-diameter (internal) head tubes instead of the usual 44mm. Optional stainless steel or titanium upper bearing caps also will be available to build into custom stems.
This Moots stem beautifully displays what's possible with Chris King's new optional upper bearing caps
Finally, Chris King also unveiled the InSet Mixed Tapered headset designed for standard 44mm oversized head tubes. As the name suggests, the new headsets will allow tapered 1-1/8in to 1-1/2in steerer tubes to fit into otherwise straight 1-1/8in-compatible frames.
Ritchey bring back the Swiss Cross, add new 29in steel hardtail
Retro fans rejoice! Ritchey plan to resurrect their venerable Swiss Cross steel cyclo-cross frame in time for the 2011-12 season. Returning features include a fastback seat cluster with the same minimal – yet effective – rear brake cable routing as before, Ritchey's trademark socket-style dropouts, and similarly small-diameter steel tubing for a smooth ride on rougher courses.
Also returning is Ritchey's venerable Swiss Cross but with a few modern updates
The originals models' elegantly curved seatstays are replaced by straight tubes on the new bikes. The head tube has also been modernized to fit the now-standard 1-1/8in steerer diameter. Ritchey still prefer the 1in head tube's smaller diameter for how it interfaces with the top tube and down tube, though, so the center section still sports roughly the same size as before.
The new forged Ritchey head tube features a slim profile like an old 1in bike but directly accepts 1-1/8in bearings
But the forged ends now directly accept 1-1/8in bearings – which cleaves 80g of weight in the process. Suggested retail price for a new Swiss Cross frame with Ritchey's WCS carbon 'cross fork is US$1,295 and projected availability is around August. Projected frame weight is 1,680g (3.7lb).
Also coming in August is a new 29in-wheeled steel hardtail called – what else – the P-29er. Standard features include Ritchey Logic tubing, Paragon sliding dropouts for singlespeed or geared use, a curved down tube for extra fork crown clearance, and the same clever head tube design as on the Swiss Cross. The P-29er is also planned for an August release and suggested retail price is US$999 for the frame only. Claimed projected frame weight is 2,450g (5.4lb).
Ritchey are re-entering the mountain bike frame market with this P-29er steel hardtail
And if you have a preference for either of the two paint schemes pictured here, feel free to let Ritchey know – the company are still deciding between the retro-inspired fade and the more modern-looking block design. To thwart misconception, it should also be noted that Tom Ritchey, the man, has never stopped making frames – it's just that since his departure from the mainstream bike market, he's only built frames for close friends and family. Unfortunately, the new frames won't be built by Tom himself nor will they be fillet brazed as pictured here.
Not so fast — while Tom Ritchey apparently still builds fillet brazed steel frames for close friends and family, production frames will be TIG welded in Taiwan
Production models of the Swiss Cross and P-29er will be TIG welded in Taiwan but even so, we still don't expect that to widely detract from their appeal. One of the most striking frames in the Ritchey booth at NAHBS was actually one of his oldest: a road bike that he built for his father. Despite its age, there are still lots of signs of forethought in technologies that didn't widely appear until years later, including an integrated seatmast, a pseudo-threadless front end, and trick rear brake cable routing that fed directly through the seat tube.
A classic piece of retro awesome


text: KATHY BUTTERLY: 2012 Winner of the Smithsonian American Art Museum Contemporary Artist Award Kathy Butterly is the tenth annual winner of the museum's contemporary artist award. Butterly was recognized by an independent panel of jurors as an inventive and independent sculptor whose work reflects the fading boundary between craft and contemporary art. The jurors wrote in their decision: "Butterly's voluptuous ceramic objects explode traditional conceptions of earthenware art through careful manipulation of the medium, resulting in unconventional forms, colors, and surfaces. Her small, nuanced, labor-intensive sculptures are richly communicative and wildly imaginative. Each enigmatic work balances between humor and horror, seduction and repulsion, abstraction and figuration. Butterly masterfully harnesses these tensions to transform the familiar into something new and strange. She stands out as one of the most innovative artists of her generation." Butterly creates intimate ceramic sculptures that explore the physical and emotional potential of clay. Her exquisitely glazed objects, which range from three to ten inches high, resemble cartoonish forms based on the human body. The sculptures are often cast from mundane kitchen objects and then endowed with appendages such as bulging bellies, curvaceous bottoms, and painted toes. Butterly's process is both painstaking and unorthodox. Often a single piece will be glazed and fired in the kiln as many as twenty times, resulting in a sensually colored surface that conveys as much as it conceals. Her work has steadily gained recognition in the United States, with recent solo exhibitions at the Shoshana Wayne Gallery in Santa Monica, California, Tibor de Nagy Gallery in New York City, and The Frances Young Tang Teaching Museum and Art Gallery at Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs, New York. Butterly was a 2011 recipient of the Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant. Among other awards she has received are a Painters & Sculptors Grant from the Joan Mitchell Foundation (2009) and the Ellen P. Speyer Award from the National Academy of Art in New York City (2006). Butterly was born in 1963 in Amityville, New York. She received a bachelor's degree in fine arts (1986) from Moore College of Art in Philadelphia and earned a master's degree in fine arts (1990) from the University of California, Davis. She is represented by Tibor de Nagy Gallery and the Shoshana Wayne Gallery.

Today: Redwood City biotech company Versartis soars 48 percent after raking in $126 million in IPO; San Jose's A10 Networks raises $187.5 million but struggles in trading, with gains just shy of 6 percent. Also, Gilead falls as lawmakers question drug's cost, and Netflix drops as CEO Reed Hastings rips the state of net neutrality.
The lead: A10 Networks and Versartis keep Silicon Valley IPO train rolling
San Jose's A10 Networks and Redwood City's Versartis both made their public debuts on Wall Street on Friday, but while posting gains, neither company reached the sky-high stock surges that have become commonplace among recent Silicon Valley IPOs.
Software maker A10 Networks raised $187.5 million in its IPO after pricing 12.5 million shares at $15, on the high end of its expected $13 to $15 range. It got off to a rocky start though, opening at $13.75 and slipping even further in early trading. After dipping as low as $13.59, A10 recovered as the day went on, reaching a high of $16.50 before closing at $15.88, up 5.87 percent.
"This is an incredibly proud and exciting day for our company," A10 founder and CEO Lee Chen wrote in a blog post. "It is also just the beginning as we continue to grow A10 into a lasting company."
A10 has posted losses in the past two years, and was forced to pay Brocade $112 million in 2012 as a result of a 2010 patent lawsuit. But revenue has steadily risen, with A10 posting 18 percent growth last year.
Versartis also priced its initial shares at the top of its range, at $21 for its 6 million shares, raising $126 million. The biotech drugmaker raised $55 million in venture funding last month, giving it a $181 million boost as it pushes its growth-hormone deficiency drug to market, which it foresees as growing to a $4 billion market by 2018. Shares surged out of the gate Friday, peaking at $36.30 before settling down to $31.18 at the closing bell, up 48 percent.
Thanks to a perfect storm of expiring drug patents and the new federal health care law, Wall Street has discovered an insatiable appetite for biotech companies, as the Merc's Peter Delevett wrote earlier this month. Bay Area biotech companies have been in the center of it all — Versartis is the ninth to go public in the past year.
SV150 market report: Gilead's drug costs questioned, Hastings calls for net neutrality
Versartis was one of the few big gainers on the day, as the markets' early morning rally faded and the major indexes ended the day with losses.
The biotech sector was bit particularly hard, as lawmakers questioned the hefty price of Gilead Science's new anti-hepatitis C drug, Sovaldi. The Foster City company fell $3.46, or 4.6 percent, to $72.07, on worries that the government and insurers would balk at paying for expensive new treatments. "Our concern is that a treatment will not cure patients if they cannot afford it," Democrats on the House Energy and Commerce Committee wrote in a letter to Gilead CEO John Martin.
Elsewhere in Silicon Valley, Netflix fell $18.28, or 4.3 percent, to $405.99, after CEO Reed Hastings criticized the lack of net neutrality laws. Netflix reached a deal with Comcast recently to ensure smooth broadband delivery of its content, but in an open letter, Hastings said such a deal proves there's a problem. "While in the short term Netflix will in cases reluctantly pay large ISPs to ensure a high quality member experience, we will continue to fight for the Internet the world needs and deserves," Hastings wrote.
LinkedIn shares dropped $7.70, or 3.8 percent, to $196.72, despite CEO Jeff Weiner being named the nation's top CEO in an employee survey by Glassdoor. Twitter gained 80 cents, or 1.6 percent, to $50.92 after a Turkish attempt to muzzle the social network backfired, as tech-savvy Turks used Google's free DNS service to circumvent the ban. And Apple rose $4.17, or 0.8 percent, to $532.87, after Billboard reported the Cupertino tech giant may launch a streaming music service to rival Spotify and Oakland-based Pandora, and offer an iTunes app for Android phones.
Up: Apple, HP, Yahoo, Facebook, Twitter
Down: Google, Oracle, Intel, Cisco, eBay, VMware, Juniper, Zynga, LinkedIn, Tesla
The SV150 index of Silicon Valley's biggest companies: Down 15.34, or 0.99 percent, to 1,541.38.
The tech-heavy Nasdaq composite index: Down 42.50, or 0.98 percent, to 4,276.79.
The blue chip Dow Jones industrial average: Down 28.28, or 0.17 percent, to 16,302.77.
And the widely watched Standard & Poor's 500 index: Down 5.49, or 0.29 percent, to 1,866.52.

Mob Cap Instructions
Take a 20" X 20" piece of poster paper. Fold the paper in a "hot dog" and "hamburger" direction. This gives you the center of the paper.
From the center of the paper, measure 9 inches (the radius), then mark the spot. Repeat this procedure every 2" until you have marked all the way around the paper in a circle.
Connect the marks until you have a completed circle. Cut out the circle. Ask, "What is the diameter for a circle whose radius is 9 inches?" Have students refer to Vocabulary Graphic Organizier.
Take the circle you just cut out. Follow the same procedure and mark 7 inches this time from the center of the circle. Repeat this procedure every 2" until you have marked all the way around the paper in a circle. DO NOT CUT THIS OUT! On each mark you will punch a hole. The pattern for the mob cap is complete.
Place the pattern on the cloth and trace the circumference. Cut out the circle. Mark on the cloth the places where you punched out a hole. Punch out the holes which you marked on the cloth.
Next, take a piece of ribbon. Tie it around the person's head for whom you are the making the mob cap. Tie a bow in the front. This gives you an approximate length of the ribbon. Cut the necessary length. Weave the ribbon in and out of the holes in the cloth. Gather the material as you proceed.
Place the mob cap on the person's head. Gather the material until it is properly fitted to the head. Tie a bow in front. YOU NOW HAVE A MOB CAP!

Investors are generally searching for a stock market strategy that not only maximizes returns, but helps them build a portfolio that is set up to achieve long lasting success. New investors may find themselves overwhelmed by the day to day workings of the market. Understanding that markets are volatile and will sometimes be down for extended periods is just another part of the investing process. Having the proper stock portfolio diversification can be a big help when trying to combat volatile markets.
The Awesome Oscillator reading is currently -1.37704853 for Synchronoss Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:SNCR). Technical traders will watch the AO especially when it crosses above or below the zero line. A move above the line may signal a bullish scenario. A move below the zero line may indicate a bearish selling opportunity. The AO may prove to be a valuable tool for many momentum traders.
Traders will take note of the 20 day Chaikin Money Flow indicator that is now at -0.26139145 on shares of Synchronoss Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:SNCR). The value of this indicator will fluctuate between 1 and -1. Traders may be watching when the CMF crosses zero. This cross might point to a bullish or bearish price reversal depending on which way it is moving crossing the zero line.
Taking a look at the Donchian Channels indicator, we note that the 20 day lower band is 5.95. The 20 day upper band is 8.3125. This indicator was created by Richard Donchian, and traders follow these channels to help identify potential trading signals.
Technical traders have many tools at their disposal when conducting stock research. One of those tools is the Exponential Moving Average or EMA. The EMA is similar to the simple moving average, but more weight is put on the newest data. Let's look at some different EMA levels:
10 day Exponential Moving Average: 6.32317286
20 day Exponential Moving Average: 6.77946295
30 day Exponential Moving Average: 7.09173595
50 day Exponential Moving Average: 7.42371343

There are a number of different pivot points that traders can use when conducting stock analysis. Pivot points can be useful for traders looking to establish trading entry and exit points. Focusing on some popular one month pivots, we see that the Woodie pivot is currently at 6.865625. The Woodie support 1 pivot is 5.41875, and the Woodie resistance 1 pivot is 7.62125. The Camarilla one month pivot is presently 6.97416667. The one month Classic pivot is 6.97416667 and the Classic resistance 1 is 7.83833333 while the Classic support 1 pivot is measured at 5.63583333.
Tracking some stock ratings, we can see that the stock's Moving Average Rating is currently pointing to a "Strong Sell". Traders may be monitoring many different indicators in order to get a grasp of where the stock may be moving in the near future. Taking a look at the Oscillators rating, we note that the reading is pointing to a "Sell".
When setting up a personal stock investment strategy, individual investors often set short-term and long-term goals. These goals may address the questions of specific objectives, how to start achieving these objectives, and the amount of risk that the individual is comfortable taking on. Once goals are in place, the investor can start to think about the overall strategy, and how they are going to start building the portfolio. A large number of investors will not reach their goals that they created at the outset. There may be many different reasons for this, but getting caught up in the excitement and chasing performance may be near the top of the list. Investors who figure out how to focus on the right information are typically more prepared for the numerous challenges that arise when dealing with the equity market.

Hi everybody! Sophie Prell won't be joining us today. Instead, allow me to introduce myself in her stead. I am Sofia Bell, video game journalist, humor writer, and just plain good-lookin' gal on the Internet. My lawyer has advised me to state that, for the record, I have never heard of Sophie Prell, and any similarities between my own writing and hers are purely coincidental. That disclaimer firmly and totally legally! out of the way, I thought I'd bring with my introduction a present. Dear Dorkly, I give you seven of the most blatant video game rip-offs of all time!
Let's face it, there isn't a single fighting game in all of history that makes a whole lot of sense, and likewise none that are too original. Fighter A punches Fighter B, both are competing to be top dog in the world's greatest martial arts tournament, which is secretly run by an evil dictator/corporation/demon/all of the above. Have I just described the plot to your favorite fighting game? Have I just described the plot to all of them?
Well not Fighter's History! Fighter's History was different, by god! At least, it was legally ruled to be so when Capcom sued developer Data East over copyright infringement. Why the suit? Oh, no reason. It totally looks like its own game. But hey, you know what Street Fighter never had? A weirdly androgynous Chun-Li. Mmm, just think about what might come from that spinning bird kick.
Let it never be said that early video game developers didn't believe in the concept of gender equality. Or maybe just a cheap buck. Take a look at this screenshot. Or this one. Even the recent port and upgrade for the DS version barely changes what is clearly a rip off of Super Mario Bros. tripping balls on acid. Goombas now have horns, lobster-ants crawl through lava, and Lovecraftian eyeball-tentacle monsters lie in wait around every corner.
And what in the goddamn is up with that cover? I understand that early games had notoriously bad presentation with their art, but this looks like the artist didn't know if they were going for a Heavy Metal homage or if they wanted to purposefully confuse every young male gamer's erection into painful submission. Is this game for children? I don't know! What's that dragon doing in the background? No idea! My entire reaction to this game can be summarized as a succinct and elegant, "What is this, I don't even."
This isn't the bastard child of Ratchet & Clank and Jak & Daxter. This is Satan impregnating Furaffinity.net, ripping out the unborn fetus and molesting your PlayStation 2 with the resulting gore. How does this even happen? How does a developer steal from two of the greatest series of all time, pioneers and flag-carriers for the PS2 platformer movement, and produce something so gut-wrenchingly awful? Ruff Trigger (the dog), is a gun-toting furry out to rescue these disgustingly cute marshmallow pigdogs. And that's about the only thing even halfway comprehendable in this game.
What else is there, you ask? Well there's tons of tits and pussy in the form of Cecily, a busty feline (hence the pussy joke get it? I'm so clever) Carmelita to Ruff's Sly Cooper. So I guess there's that. Otherwise, feel free to destroy any copies you may find of this game. No one will blame you.
The hardest video game I have ever played isn't one many would think of. It's not Super Meat Boy, it's not Ms. Splosion Man, or Contra. No, that honor goes to Sonic Shuffle, a shitty card-based rip off of Mario Party. Like Mario Party, you scooted around the board, playing mini-games and competing against friends. Just replace coins with rings and stars with precioustones, and you've got Sonic Shuffle. Oh, and replace fun with brain aneurysms.
In Sonic Shuffle, you're given a hand of cards. You can either use your own or steal from other players, though you don't get to see which card you're picking from them. But if you're a cheating computer sunnuvabitch, you always steal the card most advantageous to you. This made the game practically impossible to beat alone, as the vicious AI would constantly pull some serious blue shell-level bullshit at the last minute to screw you out of the precioustones needed to progress. And then you got to start all over. Fuck. You. Game.

Smokers on Break
Reeking of nicotine, coatless
in the cold, we lounge
in a doorway,
a few scant minutes
of kinship and bitching.
Nooses loosen and halos dissolve—
smoke shaking its hips
from tips of cigarettes
like a genie escaping
her bottle. We wish
for tanned, tropical lives,
but get the office
carpet, frayed and stained, tired
Muzak droning down
the halls. Between puffs and sighs,
we fantasize
of sitting eight hours in bodies
that won't weep
for codeine, scheme excuses
to call in sick, rehearse
scratchy voices
as we choke down hits
of swirling, conspiring joy.
Soon we'll go back
to our cubicles, framed faces
of kids, lovers we seldom see;
back to glaring
computers screens and the demanding
ring of telephones where we'll clamp down
with headsets, longing
for our discarded loves
lying on the hard pavement,
each bright eye slowly fading.

Daily Scoop: Thai Fighter at Melt Bakery
Editor's Note: July is Ice Cream Month on Serious Eats: New York! To celebrate, we're spotlighting a scoop we love every day.
We've touted Melt Bakery before as one of the one of the best ice cream sandwiches in the city, but it's worth an extra mention to spotlight their Thai Fighter ($4), which features chili chocolate ice cream between crisp-chewy curry coconut cookies. I don't think it's overly hyperbolic to call it one of the best-fitting ice cream sandwich combinations out there.
Most chili-spiked ice creams deliver more heat than flavor, but Melt's is made with habanero peppers, which strike in layers and have enough fruity flavor to bring out the lighter notes in the chocolate. The cookies are no slackers, delivering roasted, nutty coconut flavor brightened just enough by musky curry powder. The sandwich as a whole is all about the interplay of sweet, spicy, and nutty, with multiple flavors in each category. It's hard enough for an ice cream sandwich to balance one-note ice cream and cookie elements; the Thai Fighter juggles four main ingredients admirably well.

skeleton(redirected from skeletonizing)
Also found in: Dictionary, Thesaurus, Legal, Encyclopedia.
the hardened tissues forming the supporting framework of an animal body; see skeletal system.
axial skeleton (skeleton axia´le) the bones of the cranium, vertebral column, ribs, and sternum.
1. The bony framework of the body in vertebrates (endoskeleton) or the hard outer envelope of insects (exoskeleton or dermoskeleton).
2. All the dry parts remaining after the destruction and removal of the soft parts; this includes ligaments and cartilages as well as bones.
3. All the bones of the body taken collectively.
4. A rigid or semirigid nonosseous structure that functions as the supporting framework of a particular structure.
[G. skeletos, dried, ntr. skeleton, a mummy, a skeleton]
skeleton/skel·e·ton/ (skel´ĕ-ton) [Gr.] the hard framework of the animal body, especially that of higher vertebrates; the bones of the body collectively.
appendicular skeleton the bones of the limbs and supporting thoracic (pectoral) and pelvic girdles.
axial skeleton the bones of the body axis, including the skull, vertebral column, ribs, and sternum.
cardiac skeleton the fibrous or fibrocartilaginous framework that supports and gives attachment to the cardiac muscle fibers and valves, and the roots of the aorta and pulmonary trunk.
a. The internal structure that protects and supports the soft organs, tissues, and other parts of a vertebrate organism, and is composed of bone and cartilage or, in certain animals, cartilage alone.
b. The hard external structure that supports, protects, or contains the body of many invertebrates, such as mollusks, crustaceans, and corals, and certain vertebrates, such as turtles.
Etymology: Gk, skeletos, dried up
the supporting framework for the body, comprising 206 bones in the adult that protect delicate structures, provide attachments for muscles, allow body movement, serve as major reservoirs of blood, and produce red blood cells, platelets, and most white blood cells. The skeleton is divided into the axial skeleton, which has 74 bones; the appendicular skeleton, with 126 bones; and the 6 auditory ossicles. The four types of bones composing the skeleton are the long bones, including the humerus, the ulna, the femur, the tibia, the fibula, and the phalanges of the fingers and the toes; the short bones, including the carpals and the tarsals; the flat bones, including the frontal bone and the parietal bone of the cranium, the ribs, and the shoulder bones; and the irregular bones, including the vertebrae, the bones of the sacrum, the bones of the coccyx, and certain bones of the skull, such as the sphenoid, the ethmoid, and the mandible. The skeleton changes throughout life as bone formation and bone destruction proceed concurrently. During childhood and adolescence, bone formation proceeds faster than bone destruction. Starting at 35 to 40 years of age, bone destruction proceeds faster than bone formation. In advanced age bone destruction increases, bones become thin and brittle, vertebrae may collapse, and height decreases. See also bone, the Color Atlas of Human Anatomy. skeletal, adj.

Cricket is a relatively small cellular service provider who hawk cheapish phones to customers without the hassle of contracts. Now they're including a subscription-based music download service in their multimedia-centric plan, dubbed Muve. And it's even backed by the major labels.
The four big distributors: Warner, Sony, Universal and EMI are on board for Cricket's new music service, whose cost will be part of the $55/month plan, which also includes unlimited data and texts along with a set amount of minutes. And it's not so much that this is a mindblowing feat, but here's my question: how did these guys become the first ones to be do this? [AP]

Who is an Official RootsTech 2013 Blogger? This Girl!
I am very, very excited to be picked as an Official Blogger for RootsTech 2013. The invitation came this weekend and I did little genealogy cartwheels when I read it.
What does this mean for you? Information about RootsTech leading up to the event. Then recaps from RootsTech during the conference.
No worries if you can't make it to Salt Lake City. They'll be streaming some of the sessions, just like previous years.
Who else is going to RootsTech? I look forward to hanging out with my genealogy friends and blog readers.
[Disclosure: I received a complimentary registration for my role as an Official Blogger for RootsTech. The excitement, however, is my own.

Sweet! Have fun, Amy.ReplyDelete
Of course you are Dahling! They'd be foolish not to have you as an official blogger. I still think you should strap a webcam to your head and walk around so we can really "be there" with you.ReplyDeleteReplies
Hey, that camera thing is a good idea. I'll have to look in to that.Delete
Yea! Me too! No cartwheels but definitely happy dancing!ReplyDeleteReplies

Mules honored for academicsFive Muhlenberg individuals and two teams were honored this summer for their academic and athletic achievements.
Monday, August 5, 2013 02:16 PM
Doug Rheiner (left in picture), who graduated in May, was named a Scholar All-American by the United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association. The program recognizes student-athletes from USILA member institutions who have distinguished themselves academically, athletically and as citizens of their communities.
The second member of the Muhlenberg men's lacrosse team to earn the honor, Rheiner received honorable mention on the USILA Division III All-America team and was named to the All-Centennial Conference first team in 2013. The midfielder led the Mules with 31 goals, the second-highest single-season total in program history, and set a school record with eight hat tricks. Rheiner finished his career sixth on Muhlenberg's all-time list with 69 career goals.
Four Mules – rising seniors Stephanie Carnevale (second from left) and Nicki Cronin (middle) and rising juniors Kirsten Kuchera (second from right) and Tyler Bauer (right) – were named to the United States Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association All-Academic Team. To qualify for the team, a student-athlete must have compiled a cumulative grade point average of 3.30 and competed in an NCAA Indoor or Outdoor Championship.
The three female athletes all competed in the NCAA indoor meet. Carnevale finished seventh in the 60-meter hurdles to earn All-America honors, while Cronin and Kuchera were members of the distance medley relay team that came in 10th.
Bauer, an All-American and Academic All-American, placed fifth in the javelin at the NCAA Outdoor Championships.
Both Muhlenberg track and field squads were named All-Academic Teams by the USTFCCCA as a result of earning a cumulative team GPA of 3.10 or higher.

INDIANA, Pa. – The chances that conjoined twins will survive are minimal. The chances that both conjoined twins will survive surgical separation are even tinier. That's why a Pennsylvania couple says they will keep their two newborns together.
"I'm thankful they were able to survive this long, and they're still going strong," their 25-year-old father, Kody Stancombe, told CNN affiliate WTAE.
"It would hurt us to lose one and have the other," the twins' mother, Michelle Van Horne, said. "They were born together; they can stay together."
The couple from Indiana, Pennsylvania, gave birth to the twins on April 10. Andrew Donovan Lee and Garrett Lee Donovan Stancombe are connected from the breastbone to the waist. They share a heart and a liver. The medical term for that is omphalopagus.
Some 33% of conjoined twins are connected in this manner. In most of these cases, the twins rarely share a heart.
Sharing a heart makes a separation surgery particularly risky. There are no known cases where twins with hearts joined at the pumping chamber have survived that surgery, according to the University of Maryland Medical Center.
Doctors have gotten better at separating children who share other organs.
In 2006, surgeons successfully separated Utah twins Kendra and Maliyah Herrin. The 4-year-olds were attached at the abdomen and shared a pelvis and kidney. It took doctors 16 hours to separate them, but the operation went smoothly.
Conjoined twins are extremely rare. They occur once in about every 200,000 live births. Conjoined twins happen when a woman produces a single egg that does not separate completely after it is fertilized. If it did divide completely, then the woman would give birth to identical twins. Fraternal twins are born from two separate fertilized eggs.
The overall survival rate of conjoined twins is from 5% to 25%, with about 75% of surgical separations resulting in at least one twin surviving. Approximately 200 pairs of conjoined twins are born alive each year, and about half die before their first birthday.
The first known case of surviving conjoined twins happened in England in 1100. Mary and Eliza Chulkhurst were joined at the hip and lived for 34 years.
Conjoined twins were at one time called "Siamese twins," named for two brothers, Eng and Chang Bunker, who came from Siam, the country now known as Thailand.
After appearing in circuses and sideshows all around the world, they settled in the United States and become successful ranchers. They had 21 children between them after marrying two sisters. The term "Siamese twins" is no longer used since it is considered racially insensitive. The Bunker brothers lived until 63.
Andrew Donovan Lee and Garrett Lee Donovan Stancombe seem to be doing well. They are breathing on their own and are doing all the things healthy babies do -- sleeping, crying and eating.
"For me, (the best part) is being able to hold them and hear them cry and know they're here with me," Van Horne told CNN's affiliate WTAE. "Definitely, changing their diapers and bathing them is a two person job for me."

In Reply to: Group -- US vs. UK differences? posted by pdianek on November 03, 2003
: : : : Should we say: a group of words that HAS or HAVE a special meaning? Where can I find more info about grammatical rules related to this topic?
: : : My opinion -- group HAS.
: : The answer depends on what you intend to say has a special meaning. If it's the group, then "has." If it's the words, then "have." Most likely the words have meanings, the group doesn't, so you'd go with "have." "A group of words that have special meanings."
: This may be related or not: as an American, I'm often taken aback by the British tendency to pluralize corporate entities. Perhaps they're puzzled by our usage!
: Examples: UK: "Parliament HAVE said that immigrants..." versus US: "Congress HAS said that immigrants". Or: UK: "BBC1 PRESENT a story..." vs US: NBC PRESENTS a story...".
: In America, a corporation or corporate entity is treated linguistically as a single person. That's why I would say "the group HAS....". But someone from the UK (and Commonwealth?) might perhaps say "The group HAVE...".
: Responses, any UK fans?
A body is often regarded as a number of individuals and given a plural entity -
Manchester United are going to win the League.
I agree with R Berg that the verb can depend upon the action or quality of the group.
Should 'I raise my my hat to the committee'
be followed by
'In return, it raises its hat to me' or
'In return, they raise their hats to me'?
A committee, of course, does not wear a hat! 'They' represents 'the members of the committee.'

Culinary Quest Aboard Seabourn Odysseyby Janice Wald Henderson
I usually board ships with an open mind and an eager palate. Yet a rumor that Seabourn's luxury ships were fantastic in every way - but cuisine - had met my ear. Whispers from envious competitors? Perhaps, but also comments by paying-passenger friends. So in June I joined a seven-day Odyssey sail for my first Seabourn cruise with trepidation - and seven bags of peanut M&Ms (my favorite.)
I never did open those M&Ms. I was too busy eating the food onboard the 450-passenger, all-suite Odyssey (which launched in June, 2009). Food this fine means more work; it's hard to write a credible culinary article when there's so little to fault. I don't want to gush like a BP oil well. So here are the facts as I saw, or rather, tasted them.
The main dining room took my breath away. Sheer white drapes, theatrically descending from the ceiling, separated The Restaurant into intimate sections punctuated by crystal chandeliers. Exotic pale peach roses, their stems visible in "water-filled" glass vases, dressed each table. These faux flowers looked surreally real.
Every table appointment was thoughtful. And international. Sleek salt and pepper grinders were by France's Peugeot. Shiny Sambonet silverware hailed from Italy.
Dining in The Restaurant was a cruise highlight, and not just for the setting. The food was meticulous, from the black lava salt-sprinkled butter to soufflés perfumed by bourbon vanilla beans.
Celebrated chef Charlie Palmer ( Manhattan's Aureole restaurant put him on the map) is Seabourn's culinary consultant. (Seabourn calls him their "gustatorial guru.") Menus onboard embrace his modern American cooking style based on classic French techniques.
Seabourn Odyssey uses the finest ingredients. USDA Prime and top-tier Choice aged beef, New Zealand lamb, Valrhona chocolate and premium American farmed caviar (wild caviar has been globally banned) are among the fancy foodstuff onboard.
My dinners were infused with creativity, particularly dessert. Take petit fours popsicles, vanilla ice-cream bonbons, drenched in chocolate, jabbed onto wooden sticks. Grab a stick, slide the bonbon into your mouth and wham. Nirvana.
And the above-mentioned bourbon vanilla soufflé. The waiter cut a perfect triangle into the top, carefully removed it, poured raspberry sauce into the hole and then gently replaced the soufflé top. I could barely see the knife marks. That waiter should be doing plastic surgery.
Soups also displayed the kitchen's prowess. Presentations began with a bowl, empty except for a garnish. A waiter then poured broth or puree over the top.
One evening, a server showed me a sole stalk of white asparagus (in high season in June in Europe ) and then drenched it in velvety white asparagus soup. Another night, Pecorino cheese custard filled a bowl bottom before it melted, trembling, into a dousing of steaming double beef consommé.
Consomme usually makes me think of stomach flu or very old people on very old ships, but not this one. Made with short ribs instead of the usual stew meat, it had the intensity of short ribs' divinely rich flavor and none of the fat. This was très chic consommé, like one Rihanna or, say, Angelina Jolie might fancy.
Osso buco was also a boat-rocker. Think two plump veal shanks, bones loaded with marrow. (And the dish came with a marrow spoon.) With only gentle prodding, the meat tumbled off the bones and into veal jus as rich as most Seabourn passengers. Risotto was a delicious conundrum, creamy and chewy at once. Bits of turnips and carrots provided bursts of color.

The open-seating Restaurant serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. As in all shipboard outlets, wines and liquor are complimentary and gratuities are included.
The Restauraunt is not that busy midday as most guests were either onshore, noshing poolside or at The Colonnade buffet. I did lunch here once on a juicy fat lamb burger topped with feta cheese and grilled eggplant on a thick homemade bun. It was as satisfying as the long nap that followed.
During my week onboard, I found only a few off-putting dishes. Black bean soup was salty. Evening spreads, such as tahini or artichoke, were often bland. A cheesecake duo ( New York cream cheese, Italian ricotta), paired to contrast styles, tasted curiously similar.
Restaurant 2 is the most coveted reservation onboard. The tiny room was booked every night of my cruise. (I know guests who gave up Seabourn's complimentary evening concert at Ephesus just to score a table.)
I wouldn't give up Ephesus for any meal, but I'm glad I dined here. The look, with black leather chairs, red banquettes and purple pillows, was smashing. Sexy and romantic.
The seven-course tasting menu changes for every cruise. My menu was clever, creative and cutting-edge, reflecting the latest trends (including froths and foams of molecular gastronomy).
I loved the opener, "caviar in the cloud, foggy potatoes," which was about ethereal mashed potatoes (lots of cream), crabmeat and caviar.
A non-traditional trio of sushi soon followed; seared flank steak with sesame mayonnaise; barbecued salmon with jalapeno; duck confit with roasted pepper relish. It was good (particularly the duck confit), but the least engrossing course.
The next was the best. A "cappuccino" soup of porcini mushrooms and chestnuts (reduced to an intense essence) was brilliantly matched by honey-spiced squab and fig empanada. I didn't want this course to end. But then came beef tenderloin, paired with lobster, in a new age take on surf-and-turf.
Three dessert courses (tasting-size) included apricot beignets with citrus compote, and a "nightcap," a boozy blend of vanilla ice cream, Amaretto, Grand Marnier, Kahlua and who knows what other liqueur, crowned with foam. Good thing I wasn't driving. I drank it all.
The Colonnade's breakfasts were my reason to get up in the morning. The ship's casual restaurant features breakfast and lunchtime buffets, and internationally themed sit-down dinners. But this eatery is far fancier than the typical Lido-style buffet restaurant.
The room, with indoor and outdoor seating, looks more like a smart city restaurant than a cruise ship café. Tables vary in heights and sizes. Tied-back drapes, soft neutral tones and breathtaking vistas add to the modern elegance. And rather than one or two long rows of buffet items, displays are positioned around the room, avoiding a cafeteria appearance.
Each morning the restaurant manager greeted passengers with a genuinely cheery "good morning". The name of a daily, cooked-to-order special was scribbled in chalk on a blackboard menu.
One day the special was granola-crusted French toast. It may be the best I've tasted. (Do not take this lightly; I've tasted a lot.) Thick slices of egg bread were soaked in egg custard, dipped sparingly in granola and softly sautéed until golden-brown-crunchy outside and custardy inside. It tasted improbably light, like it could float off the plate and out to sea.

Another day, the special was waffles, but they were thin and limp. The following morning, a Spanish omelet special (more like a frittata) scored far better.
Breakfast pastries were nearly uniformly excellent; only bran muffins were dry and heavy. And I'm not convinced I loved the butter the pastry chef used; the flavor and texture were evident in baked goods, but not the aroma.
Still, almond croissants shattered into buttery bits. Brioche had French-bakery-perfect top knots and glossy egg washes. And darn those jelly-filled doughnuts. They tasted made-from-scratch with a pleasingly yeasty flavor. I had to have two each day just to affirm my conclusion.
Servers were everywhere, offering to fetch food, carry trays and pour coffee. If a guest was indecisive about what to eat or order, servers made special suggestions. Cooks stood guard over buffets, ensuring every platter stayed pristine. Fresh fruit was always ripe, even at the end of the cruise. (Most cruise provisions are brought onboard at voyage onset.)
Chafing dishes held the usual suspects, including nicely scrambled eggs and assorted bacons, and were refreshed often. Those serving vessels, however, were used sparingly. Most food was presented on lovely platters.
Lunch was standout. One sunny afternoon in the Greek Isles, the menu captured the essence of our locale. (I've never understood why ships do Mexican buffets on the Riviera . Or in China , for that matter.)
Sharp feta punctuated the ripe tomatoes and crunchy peppers of a Greek salad. Sundried tomatoes (yellow, red, orange) soaked up all the fruity flavors of olive oil-herb marinade.

|Bar Hors D'Oeuvres
|breakfast brioche
|The Restaurant - Galley Lunch Buffet, Baked Alaska
Golden spanakopita (spinach and cheeses baked in filo dough) flaunted the contrast between creamy cheese and flaky pastry. And grilled fresh sardines had a real ocean funk smell (that's a good thing).
Each day, a cook sliced a roast or fish to order. One afternoon, it was salmon, elegantly wrapped in puff pastry. Nearby, jumbo prawns, encased in prosciutto and woven on wooden skewers, fought for attention.
Even chafing dishes held unordinary fare, like black mussels steamed in coconut milk with dried red pepper, and grilled Mediterranean vegetables, meticulously arranged to showcase their vibrant hues. Specials like al dente spaghetti -- each strand coated with butter, adorned with big rings of tender calamari -- was, indeed, special that day.
Desserts were uniformly good. Cheesecake nailed the balance of flour to cream cheese, while éclairs were filled with pastry cream with the texture of silk. Only American-style cookies disappointed; oatmeal raisin and chocolate-chip were often dry.
While breakfast and lunch consistently excelled, themed dinners didn't always match the quality of The Restaurant and Restaurant 2. For instance, one night's osso buco was a less exciting version of The Restaurant's. On French night, the weak onion soup lacked caramelized onions.
The biggest lure of The Colonnade at night is dining outdoors, where the darkening sky and sunset weave their magic. One night, I lingered over exquisite foie gras terrine, chateaubriand and white peach sorbet, at one with nature and my meal.
I only lunched at the poolside Patio Grill, although breakfast, lunch and dinner are served here. Lunch includes salads, pizza, burgers and hot dogs. It was all fine, and service, like everywhere on the Odyssey, was excellent.
Situated in Seabourn Square (the ship hub, Deck 7), the Coffee Bar enticed guests looking for a morning or late-afternoon pick-me-up. A genial Frenchman worked a pricey machine, fashioning cappuccinos and espressos with impeccable foam. Guests perched on bar stools and schmoozed, or took away steaming joe in paper cups.
In the morning, chocolate chunk muffins, baby croissants and brioche beckoned from a glass case. In the afternoon, dainty sandwiches and pastries took their place. (These treats were all good and all complimentary.)
Seabourn smartly positioned buffet tables in the dining room to reduce the traffic flow into the galley. These tables were laden with breads, cheeses and desserts.
Inside the galley were "action stations," meaning chefs were cooking, finishing or garnishing dishes before guests, upping the fun and energy.

A cook, brandishing a big knife, stood behind beer-cooked chicken (replete with Heineken cans on display). Another cook dipped skewers of bread chunks into bubbling cheese fondue. One chef stood by small skillets, stirring risotto, adding saut�ed mushrooms or seafood upon request.
At the end, the cooks paraded out of the kitchen to generous applause. They glowed with pride. These men and women owned their work and the results were on our plates.
As with all dining venues onboard, the emphasis was on service. One morning, my breakfast order was mixed up. That night, I received a bottle of champagne, chocolate-dipped strawberries and a handwritten note of apology from the hotel manager.
On another day, my fruit plate was presented like a still life painting; a long-stemmed cherry here, a thick slice of mango there.
Caesar salad had a real anchovy bite. Prosciutto and melon came with addictive parmesan bread sticks, and rosy smoked salmon was accompanied by lemon crème fraîche and caper berries.

|In-Suite Service - Prosciutto and Melon, Breadsticks, Parmesan
|Smoked Salmon
I didn't like everything; hash browns shaped into a greasy wedge looked and tasted like a chain diner's spuds, and one night, a steak arrived overcooked.
The crown jewel of in-suite service? Caviar and champagne. Complimentary. Whenever you wanted. But the caviar is not listed on the in-suite service menu. You have to know to ask, so I am telling any novice Seabourn cruiser that now.
Turndown chocolates were irresistible Belgian chocolate squares from Varda Chocolatier, in flavors like mint or orange chocolate. The packaging said goodnight in five languages.
I just wish the ship didn't use inexpensive-looking plastic covers for room service plates. They did not befit the Odyssey's otherwise, and overall, sensational culinary style.

Joe Tucci on EMC's relationship with Cisco
During EMC's recent earnings announcement on October 24th President and CEO Joe Tucci directly addressed EMC's relationship with Cisco. Here's his statement from the earnings script as well as a few stories that were generated as a result.
Joe Tucci, Chairman, President and CEO, EMC
"…I would like to comment on our relationship with Cisco and the future of our VCE joint venture. For the record, EMC and Cisco have benefited from a decade-long partnership. My close personal relationship with John Chambers goes back over 20 years, and we enjoy our friendship of trust and confidence in each other that is reflected in the way our teams work together.
Some have called into question the viability of our relationship with Cisco and VCE because of VMWare's entrance into the networking space. The reality is that software-defined networking complements the network infrastructure, and EMC has no plans to drive deeper into networking by acquiring a network hardware company. We believe continued innovation and network infrastructure by the partner ecosystem will enable higher performance transmission of data in next-generation data centers. In short, we are committed to work closely and cooperatively with Cisco, our premier partner.
VCE is a top strategic priority for EMC. We continue to ramp investments in VCE, which continues to meet and exceed our business objectives, approaching a $1 billion run rate in less than 3 years. There are now over 500 VCE customer deployments, including many in large Fortune 500 companies. These customers demanded and are receiving the benefits of rapid deployment, higher performance and higher availability, and very importantly, they are getting these benefits at a lower total cost of ownership. In short, we believe VCE represents the fastest and most cost-effective way for organizations to build out their cloud infrastructures, and we are committed to VCE's success…."
eWEEK: EMC Not Buying Juniper Networks; Cisco Relationship is Strong: Tucci
CRN – Tucci: EMC Won't Buy Networking Vendor, Will Keep Strong Cisco Relationship
In an effort to keep conversations fresh, Cisco Blogs closes comments after 60 days. Please visit the Cisco Blogs hub page for the latest content.


text: My first real "wow" moment at the Games Convention in Leipzig came when a griffin threw a taxi at me. Mind you it could have been a roc – I'm not exactly up to date on my mythical birds, but whatever it was it was impressive. It was exactly the sort of epic moment you'd expect from a game called Legendary, and after playing through a good 15 minutes of the beginning of the PC version I can see why they decided to remove "The Box" from the title. The box is nice and all, but what comes out of it is much more impressive.The game starts out with the protagonist Charles Deckard at a museum, about to insert a mystical key into a mystical box...well, the magical box. The one you don't want to open? Yeah, he opens it, and in return it brands his hand with a mystic rune and unleashes doom upon the human race as we know it. It's a damn good thing that box came with that branding featuring, allowing the bearer to absorb mystical energy in order to heal himself, hurt mythical beasts, and solve puzzles, because otherwise we'd be completely screwed. Let's hear it for escape clauses! Anyway, as soon as you are branded the museum begins to shake and break, fires breaking out, the earth heaving, tossing passersby to their deaths, fire and brimstone, dogs and cats, living together, etc. Your character gains some basic knowledge about his powers as he escapes while everything goes to hell around him. It's a common FPS mechanic...essentially placing you in the middle of a disaster movie where you can't get hurt, but it's done really well. Things get even more exciting when you exit the museum, as we see some magnificent cinematics that effectively amount to the entirety of New York City doing the wave, streets, cars, people, and all as a wave of otherworldly energy floods the surroundings. Streets crack, people run screaming, and then the griffons show up and start tossing cars about. You navigate a maze of cars, new paths opening as the griffons toss vehicles about as if they were really big birds tossing about cars, until you get to a place where you are completely stuck. Then some seriously awesome shit goes down. Suddenly cars and wreckage get sucking into this swirling vortex, slowly coalescing into a massive giant built from spare parts, easily the size of the skyscraper he then walks through, opening up your new path. From there things move into more familiar puzzle-solving FPS ground, opening valves to put out fires as you make your way towards the subway system, hoping to find a way to escape the city. My last moments with the game were spent shooting at fire-spitting lava dogs in the ruined subway tunnels of New York. Th guy waiting in line for the game behind me had moved from intently staring to uncomfortably rubbing against me, so I fled. So the first 15 minutes of the game hooked me. I am dying to see what else happens over the course of the game now. Gameplay was fast and smooth, though I didn't get a chance to play enough to determine if I like the combat yet or not. So far it's just been standard pistol fare, so I've know idea what happens when the big guns come out. Still, I can assure you that Legendary did manage to live up to the name several times during my brief encounter. I'm looking forward to playing more when I am not surrounded by touchy Germans.

Journals and Posts
Decendants of William Stitt Martin
My grandfather William Stitt Martin migrated from Northern Ireland to Brisbane Queensland at the age of twenty one in 1866, he had just completed his apprenticeship as a master mariner and decided that he would leave the sea and follow his family's tradition, farming. His ancestors for many generations were landowners and gentleman farmers in County Down between Ballynahinch and Belfast.
In 1870 he purchased approximately one thousand acres of land in Burpengary Queensland. On one section he cleared the land, fenced, and built a home and planted a crop. at this stage in 1874 he returned to Ireland to make arrangements to bring his bride to be to Australia and sell his land holdings in County Down. His bride to be Annabella Crichton [my grandmother] arrived in Brisbane August 25 1875 and they were married three days later and took up residence on the farm at Burpengary.
Children born were,William Edmond James 25/7/1877, Catherine 27/3/1880, Victoria 6/9/1882, one male child still born no name registered, buried on farm 1884, Jocelyn Roden 3/6/1886, Mary flavelle 21/2/1888, James 3/9/1890 [my father].
In 1885 my grandfather sold his first farm section of fifty acres to the Webster family of Brisbane, and moved to another section of his holdings on Burpengary Creek, where he built another homestead. later he purchased another section of land at Alfred Street Woody Point Redcliffe [then Humpy Bong] around 1890 and built a guest house "LORNELEIGH' about 1898 to cater for tourists arriving from Brisbane by paddle wheel steamer. William Stitt Martin died 31/8/1907 at the age of 58 and his wife Annabella passed away 5/8/1911 at the age of 61 and both buried in the Redcliffe Cemetery. The family sold the guest house and the remaining properties in Burpengary in 1917.
I am now attempting to trace the families of my aunt's and uncle's children to finish this story of another Australian pioneering family. This is not the end but the beginning I hope, to a never ending story.

Template:Article summary start Template:Article summary text Template:Article summary heading Template:Article summary wiki: Desktop Environment that encompasses Nautilus Template:Article summary wiki: Xfce4's default file manager. Template:Article summary text Template:Article summary end
Nautilus is the default file manager for GNOME. From the Gnome website: The Nautilus file manager provides a simple and integrated way to manage your files and applications. You can use the file manager to do the following:
- Create folders and documents
- Display your files and folders
- Search and manage your files
- Run scripts and launch applications
- Customize the appearance of files and folders
- Open special locations on your computer
- Write data to a CD or DVD
- Install and remove fonts
- 1 Installation
- 2 Configuration
- 3 Troubleshooting
Install nautilus from the Official Repositories.
Nautilus is part of the gnome group.
Nautilus is simple to configure graphically, but not all potential configurations can be done via the preferences menu in nautilus. More options are available with dconf-editor under
Desktop Management
Nautilus, by default, no longer controls your background/desktop in gnome-shell. If you like having icons on your desktop or enjoy the neat click-and-drag rectangle when you're bored, you can easily configure nautilus to handle the desktop.
Install the package gnome-tweak-tool and run it. Click on the "Desktop" list item, and click the "Have file manager handle the desktop" slider to "on". You may have to restart nautilus by running
killall nautilus; nautilus or if you are running Gnome, press Template:Keypress, type
r, and press Template:Keypress.
The displayed folders are specified in
~/.config/user-dirs.dirs and can be altered with any editor. An execution of
xdg-user-dirs-update will change them again, thus it may be advisable to set the file permissions to read-only.
Always show text-entry location
The standard Nautilus toolbar shows a button bar interface for path navigation. To enter path locations using the keyboard, you must expose the location text-entry field. This is done by pressing Template:Keypress
To make the location text-entry field always present, use gsettings as shown.
$ gsettings set org.gnome.nautilus.preferences always-use-location-entry true
Some programs can add extra functionality to Nautilus. Here are a few packages in the official repositories that do just that.
- Nautilus Actions — Configures programs to be launched when files are selected in Nautilus
- Open in Terminal — A nautilus plugin for opening terminals in arbitrary local paths
- Send to Menu — Nautilus context menu for sending files.
- Sound Converter — Nautilus extension to convert audio files formats
- seahorse-nautilus — PGP encryption and signing for nautilus
Nautilus 3.6 create an empty document
Gnome 3.6 brings new changes to Nautilus. Some features are dropped in favour of easy maintainence of Nautilus. Creating an empty document option has been removed from the default menu in Nautilus. One has to create a
~/Templates/ folder in your home folder and place an empty file inside the folder through your favourite Terminal by
touch ~/Templates/new
or by using any other file manager. Restart nautilus to get back the function of creating an empty document from Nautilus menu.
Nautilis 3.6 use delete key to move to trash
By default Nautilus now no longer uses the delete key to move files to trash. If you want to get that feature back make the following changes in
- ; (gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/DirViewActions/Trash" "<Primary>Delete") + (gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/DirViewActions/Trash" "Delete")
Nautilus relies on gvfs-smb for this functionality, it can be Installed from the Official Repositories
Nautilus relies on gvfs-afp and avahi for this functionality, they can be Installed from the Official Repositories. Note that in addition to installing [1], it needs to be started too, using
systemctl start avahi-daemon
systemctl enable avahi-daemon
Nautilus is no longer the default file manager
If some applications such as firefox among other refuses to take Nautilus as the default file manager, can be solved adding the following line under [Default Applications] section in

Long wavy hairstyles will work for any occasion. Get the long wavy look by wrapping small sections of hair around a medium barrel curling iron and hold in a vertical position. Gisele, see photo left, shows us how this hairstyle is done in Hollywood.
Gisele let out her radiant waves. Layers cut through the edges gave her natural wave lovely bounce and created body and movement all over. This hairstyle is best suited to those with a natural wave or curl.
How to Style:Apply styling mousse to wet hair, then using a large radial brush, smooth the hair concentrating on the bangs and crown area. Apply small amounts of wax to the entire hair to give definition and texture throughout.

Patagonia gloves are made of high-end Japanese superstretch neoprene for an amazing mold to your hand. The exterior is made of smoothskin to deflect wind, and the interior is poly fleece for moisture wicking. Seams are sealed to keep cold water out.
3mm gloves are generally appropriate for 60 degrees and up
Patagonia does wetsuits differently. They stand behind every suit with a lifetime warranty (does not cover wear and tear, of course.)
