Book marketing on Instagram for authors (swag, ARCs, book boxes and more)
Author Jessica Pierce does some amazing Instagram promotion and wrote this awesome post about it. I often get asked questions such as, "Jess, what the heck is this Instagram stuff and how can I use it to sell my YA book?" or "Plz halp me because I don't get Bookstagram." Have no fear! I'm not the end-all-be-all expert, but I …Read More »
Perennial Seller: a media manipulator talks book marketing
This morning I did an interview on writing fiction and we discussed, among other things, whether writing faster books leads to inferior quality and whether writing to market creates inferior art. These are real conversations, and though I would answer "no" to both, I'm often challenged by thousands of passionate creators who very firmly believe "YES." The conversation prompted me …Read More »
How to get your book on Oprah – A LONG SHOT COME TRUE
This is a guest post by author Miantae Metcalf McConnell – I was so impressed she got her book featured in Oprah magazine, and I asked her to share what that process looked like. Every month O, The Oprah Magazine publishes a list of books that they recommend to their readers, a "Top Ten List" situated in the magazine's Reading …Read More »
How To Organize a Barnes & Noble Book Signing for your Self-Published Book
Note from Derek: I usually tell authors not to bother with in-person stuff like book signings because it's too much work, and to focus on online stuff instead… but book signings can be FUN – and doing a signing in Barnes & Noble (or any "real" bookstore) feels more significant, like a milestone or bucket list item. So when I saw …Read More »
2000 preorders cancelled! Incentivized purchases for book launches and Amazon's fine print
I screwed up. Months ago I agreed to be part of a multi-author box set. I usually say no to these, but I have personal relationship with Napoleon Hill's Think and Grow Rich (I even featured it in my PhD Thesis) so I submitted my chapter. The authors all offered a free course or bonus to incentivize preorder purchases, and these …Read More »
How to (quietly) launch a bestselling vampire book on Amazon
I haven't published a *new* book for over a year. Possibly, Amazon took the wind out of my sails when I overextended myself and failed to meet preorder deadlines (thus losing my preorder privileges for 12 months). I have gone back and fixed up or completed some other titles – so I've probably written and published about 100,000 words in …Read More »

How to make a living with your writing (writing jobs to make quick money online)
Two things: First, I'm involved in an anthology called "write and grow rich." I accepted because: A) I wanted to practice a story-based approach to sharing knowledge, so I shared a story I've never told before and focused on making it gripping. B) Think and Grow Rich is hugely influential, but few people appreciate the depth and specific tactics to …Read More »
How to publish and market a children's book or coloring book on Amazon

Music shapes the flow of our worship and enhances the sacred space. We aim to encompass a breadth of musical styles, while allowing the congregation to participate fully.
Each week a different group of musicians come together to offer their gifts in leading worship. We are very lucky to have 30 gifted musicians on our music roster, and are also mentoring and developing the gifts of a number of younger musicians.
We love exploring creative ways to use songs and music in worship – as introits, prayers, responses, readings or blessings, in praise or lament, to tell stories or to respond to God's call. We link our music choices to the biblical themes of the day, and make sure to choose at least one song that's accessible to even the youngest child, using actions and words for young readers. We also enjoy singing songs from different parts of the world and in other languages, celebrating our diversity and membership of the worldwide body of Christ.
Tune In & BUC Song Project
We have a number of wonderfully gifted songwriters in our congregation, and often sing their original songs in our worship.
In 2007 we released our very own songbook Tune In! (now out of print, but follow the link for full book and individual song downloads). We continue to collect and share new songs for congregational singing.
A member of our congregation, Natalie Sims, maintains a website suggesting songs based on the biblical themes for each Sunday. She says 'I like singing and I like the Lectionary, so I really like suggesting songs for other people to sing at church!'
Visit Singing from the Lectionary for more information about Natalie's passions, and to get an idea of the variety of songs you might be invited to sing at Brunswick Uniting Church.

Obviously, You should do it your self credit repair. you just dont want to pay alot of money and dont want to risk your remaining credit to go worst by using bad credit repair companies around. Lets discuss how you can repair your credit by yourself in quick minute and get results of improved credit in few days.
Open a excel file to plan a budget. In this to pay your loan by using spare money you just see your expenses on what you spend more and what could be avoided. Do a step not close your card but pay it regularly. Because by not closing cards and having minimum balance in it, you become a responsible person and it also induce credit companies to make you unsecured loans also. Best thing to improve your credit is always pay dues and installment well in time and no revolving outstanding is due. If you pay in this way atleast for 6 months your score raises. Low down your Debt- income ratio. Because debt must not be more than income as it reduces credit and make hindrance in getting loan further. Pay few of your credit card amount to raise credit.
To review your inaccurate things and obsolete information you can get your credit reports through internet. One must keep in mind that he/she should see its reports for incorrectness annually. As you are authorized for annual reports at no cost. So take benefit of internet facility and make hard copies of reports also. You are authorized to make letters of dispute regarding incorrectness in record. It is also possible that your inaccuracies or incorrectness in report is made fraudulently. You are bound to convey such things to credit report company. If it is proved that incorrectness is not from your side, it will be repaired and it will raise your credit. The information given by repair company must kept by you by documenting this process.

Chapter Three
A few days later, Minako and Rei ventured to Danie's apartment and knocked on her door. There had been no answer when she and Jessica called her cell phone earlier that day. Remembering the events of the other day, Rei immediately had become worried. She enlisted Minako to accompany her as they were leaving work that evening.
"What do you think could be wrong?" Minako asked as Rei lifted her fist, prepared to knock.
Rei said nothing and shrugged. She lowered her fist and knocked on the door.
And when the door opened, their mouths dropped to their chins as a gust of cold air hit their bare arms and nyloned legs.
"Oh my," murmured Rei.
Danie stood before them in a black bikini, holding an iced martini glass and a wide smile. Amid the low temperature, there wasn't a goosebump in sight.
"Rei-chan! Minako-chan!" she greeted them. "Come on in. Want a martini? I'm making a Cosmo next."
Minako broke out into semi violent shivers. Rei glanced around at Danie's apartment. Things seemed normal though there were no windows open as Danie would have normally had. Normally being the operative word. Danie pranced around the room fanning herself and sipping from her glass. Minako put her jacket back on and nearly buried herself in it.
"Um, Danie-san," Rei began, "are you feeling alright?"
Danie giggled, a high-pitched whinny that was so out-of-character. "Oh Rei darling, I feel fine. On top of the world."
A trembling Minako and a skeptical Rei shared a glance, then Rei spoke again.
"Um, have Alex or Amanda come to bother you?" Rei inquired.
Danie giggled again. "Of course not! They've probably shacked up in some hut rattling a box spring. If the leaves are a-rockin', don't come a-knockin'!"
Rei felt sick. She could feel something was wrong. The fact that Danie was spouting clichéd bullshit just added verification to her theory. Meanwhile, Minako was turning blue.
"Danie-san," Rei said with a bit more seriousness, "I think something's wrong. Are you sure you're alright? The air is on awfully high."
There was a pause as Danie gulped down liquor. She waved her hand at the statement. "I'm just going through some strange PMS or something."
"What kind of strange PMS do you mean?"
"Oh it's nothing! Just been feeling a bit hotter than usual. When I took a cold shower today, it started boiling on contact with my skin!" Danie burst out laughing then.
"Wh-what?" Minako stuttered in full-out alarm. "But hu-humans d-d-don't boil wa-w-water on their sk-sk-skin like that!"
Rei climbed to her feet and walked toward Danie. "Danie-san, we have to get you checked out."
"Nonsense!" Danie trilled. "I'm fine!"
Rei grabbed Danie's arm. When she did, she instantly found that Danie was indeed boiling hot. She took her hand back and looked at Danie squarely, violet eye to violet eye.
"Daniella," she began, "we have to take you to the hospital. You have a fever."
Danie's eyes narrowed and she clenched her fists. Soon the martini glass ended up shattered on the wall, in broken pieces on the floor. Rei took in a deep breath and began to speak but a loud ploow! nearly had her ducking for cover.
"Mamma Mia," Minako muttered, trying not to pee on herself.
Rei straightened up and turned around. The pot that had been holding some flowers that Danie had been growing was in a demolished mess on the ground. One of the flowers was still enflamed.
Danie, meanwhile, stared at the remnants in astonishment.
"Dios Mio," she muttered. Sobered, she sat down on the couch with her large eyes wide. "I…I've never done that before." She looked at Rei. "Something is wrong with me."
Once the admission was out in the air and she figured that she wasn't going to be killed, Rei took out her cell phone and pressed '1.'
* * *
At Angelia's apartment a block away an hour later, Angelia heard her phone ring before Orlando returned from the kitchen with the popcorn and the beer. She glanced at the caller ID and decided to let the machine get it.
"You have reached Angelia Buchannan. Please leave your name and number and I will make sure to get back to you. Toodles!"
Angelia rolled her eyes and tried to forget that that greeting was created on a sugar-induced whim.
"Angie, it's Brian. We need to talk. Call me back when you get a chance." Click.
Something like fear skimmed up her back. She didn't know why, but she had a feeling that she shouldn't return the call.
Orlando strolled into the living room with a bowl. He sat down beside her and settled in, peeling off his socks and shoes. He offered Angelia her bottle. Angelia took it idly, not really watching the movie anymore. Orlando noticed this after some careful observation.
"Aw hell." He placed his beer bottle on the table beside them. "Annie, what's bothering you? You were fine a second ago. I thought watching Dumb and Dumber always cheered you up."
Angelia managed a small smile for his benefit more than her own. "I just…I got a strange phone call, that's all."
Frowning, Orlando reached over and pressed a digit into a button on the answering machine. Brian Littrell's southern drawl filled the room for ten seconds, then the machine clicked off. Orlando fingered his growing facial hair and carefully picked words that would not send Angelia flying off the handle.
"Angelia love, I thought you two were on hiatus," Orlando said in an even tone.
Angelia shrugged and pulled her fine blond hair up. "We are on hiatus. I suppose he just wants to chat is all."
Orlando laughed sardonically. "My Dearest Friend in the World, I think you are blinded by your naïveté. That young man who left that message has something heavy on his mind."
"Oh?" Slightly amused but more exasperated, Angelia turned to him. "So what do you think he wants, O Dali Lando?"
"He wants to fuck you," Orlando responded brusquely. "Duh, Angelia."
"Gee, why not cloud the air with euphemisms?" Angelia cried, a bit hurt.
"Why should I? As your best friend, I am entitled to give you nothing but the honest truth."
"Or honest bullshit. God, Orlando, he's from bloody Kentucky. They quote the Holy Bible like they breathe over there. He wouldn't dare ask me for gratuitous sex without putting a ring on my finger first."
"Uh huh," Orlando said doubtfully. "Right. And this chick that he cheated on for you—did they have sex? Or did it start with you?"
"I said we nearly slept together, Orlando. We didn't consummate the relationship in that way."
Orlando's brown-eyed gaze fell upon her again. Unreadable emotions lie in his eyes that troubled her greatly. "But that doesn't mean that he never wanted to, Angelia. A man is a man, and they have needs."
Angelia raised an eyebrow. "And you would know, wouldn't you?" Angelia gulped down her own beer for a second. "You seem to have been a fixture around here instead of getting your own dates."
Orlando sighed and bit off an oath. "Touché."
"Damn right. Go find a girlfriend and leave me alone."
Orlando placed a hand on her shoulder. "Annie, I'm supposed to protect you. Sorry, but I can't leave you alone."
Angelia nodded silently and watched as Jim Carrey urinated into a beer bottle not too much different than her own. If it had been any other time, she would have found this hilariously funny. But now…things were different. Things had been different for a long time, since she found her destiny…and fell in love with another woman's man. She looked sidelong at Orlando, who, she found, was looking back at her. She looked away and back at the TV screen.
I wish he could protect me, she mused. But he can't. And that's a bloody shame.
* * *
"Hana-sama, I can't reach Haruka and Michiru and Hotaru. Angelia is not answering her phone."
Jessica nodded as Minako, now thawed out, gave her a report on the whereabouts of the rest of the Sailor Senshi. As the leader of the Midnight Senshi, she had appointed herself the head of this impromptu gathering.
The basement of Cat Headquarters was a control room with a section for meetings such as this one. In a large capsule on the far side of the room lay Danie, unconscious and unnaturally rosy. Ami and Moira-Selene monitored the palpitations and beeps of the machines that were hooked up to the healing capsule. According to Ami and Moira-Selene, Danie's aura was heightened to a dangerous level. Jessica had a feeling that the recent events had something to do with it, and Ami and Moira-Selene had postulated that as well. Now, Jessica mused as she scanned the Inner Sailor Senshi and the other Midnight Senshi sitting on the couches of Cat HQ, all they had to do was to wait, no matter how costly it would be.
And that was what they agreed upon. They would wait.

Most guys never get to experience deep throating during oral sex.

Sean Jameson is a sex expert and founder of the Bad Girl's Bible website , where you can learn advanced techniques to improve your sex life. But I still want to do it.. Anal Preparation 3.
Your Man Needs To Know This One Thing
If you have significant control over your throat spasms, then you can allow your throat to spasm slightly while he is inside you. But if you want, you can add an extra layer of pleasure for your man by turning your head from side to side while moving your mouth up and down on him. I like to hold his load in my mouth and savor it. Most guys have never even thought of this, so be prepared to have one happy man on your hands when you do it.

To the editor: In 1975 a virus with the morphologic characteristics of a parvovirus was found in the serum of asymptomatic blood donors (1) and was found to meet the requirements for classification as an autonomous member of the Parvoviridae (2). Evidence suggests that human parvovirus is causally related to erythema infectiosum and aplastic crisis.
Parvoviruses are probably ubiquitous among mammals. Tissues composed of dividing cells constitute target organs. In patients with chronic hemolytic anemias, infection of the erythrocyte precursors in the hyperactive bone marrow leads to severe anemia, whereas in both canine and feline species transient leucopenia is a

The kitchen is one of those rooms many of us love to hate. Even the perfect design requires us to sift through drawers of endless stuff to find a single item, be it a spice or utensil. But thankfully, with little effort and planning you can turn your junk heap of a spatula drawer into a light, space filled area that's uncluttered and a joy to be in. To help give you a few ideas for organizing your kitchen space, check out this list of tips and tricks for helping declutter and spruce up.
Pot Rack
Always clumsy to store, pots can be well organized using a hanging rack. A handrail and several S-hooks will turn a few square feet of wall into a convenient rack for kitchenware. Handrails are better than towel bars for the job as they support more weight. Find out more.
Sort Utensils
With some cheap mason jars, you can clean up that willy nilly tong and spatula drawer once and for all. Paint them, label them, and put them on the counter to sort spatulas, ladles, whisks, and more. Check it out.
Use Risers
Give your cabinet twice as much surface space with a coated metal riser and/or separator - stuff fits on top, between, underneath, and it can be used for just about any kitchen item. Learn more.
Label Frozen Foods
The average freezer has piles of random, unsorted, asymmetrical bags and containers in it. Take a second to add a label, even with simple sharpie, to your freezer items with name and date. It'll save time and help you know when to toss old items. Read more.
Magnetic Fridge Spices
The fridge is another magnetic wonderland of unused space. Pick up some magnetic spice jars to free up needed cupboard space, and keep spices in view during cook time. Learn more.
Timbercreek hopes this list helps give you some ideas for how to better organize your kitchen. For more information about Timbercreek Communities in your city, please visit our website.
From cringing to excitement, it's always a bit hard to not get excited about back to school stuff. Pens, pencil cases, laptops, binders, kindles, chargers -- it's the best part of school starting up again. To help you find the best deals on supplies this season, Timbercreek brings you this list of cool gear for the back to school season.
Amazon Kindle Paperwhite
The Kindle Paperwhite is the latest Kindle version which has increased resolution, is glare-free, lighter in weight, and longer lasting on one charge. It's built for reading, and unlike tablets and phones, Kindle doesn't distract you with social media, emails, and text messages. Check out more.
Belkin SurgePlus USB Swivel Charger
A handy little unit, the Belkin Swivel Charger is a USB travel charger that plugs into any wall outlet, allowing up to three AC devices to charge at once without extra cords. Featuring a 360-degree swivel function, the SurgePlus is light and compact. Find out more.
HP Sprocket Photo Printer
This compact printer was designed to go anywhere. The Sprocket, as the name suggests, fits easily into any bag, and creates 2 x 3-inch (5 x 7.6 cm) standard photo size, stickable snapshots. Great for making memories in the moment. Learn more.
Seagate Backup Plus Ultra Slim
The Seagate Ultra Slim is one of the thinnest portable drives on the market, measuring just 9.6mm thick, yet still storing 1TB and 2TB of data. Available in gold and platinum colours, the Backup Plus slips into your backpack or courier bag and makes it easy to store your stuff. Learn more.
Endy Mattress
Now nearly legendary for their 100-night trial and 10 year warranty, the Endy mattress is a finely crafted 10", 3-layer foam mattress available in 6 sizes. Proudly Canadian made, it offers cool and amazingly comfortable support. Learn more.
With nearly 10 models, Fitbit has caught on like wildfire. The well known device is not only a fitness and step tracker, but offers heart monitoring, can measure weight and BMI, sleep tracking and more. They're also waterproof. A great addition to the back to school kit. Learn more.
Timbercreek hopes this list helps you stock up with the right stuff for back to school season! For more information about Timbercreek Communities in your city, please visit our website.
Ah, summer! Time to throw the tent in the car, pack up a cooler, and hit the trail. Summer is the perfect time for camping, and with the season in full swing, it's time to make your list. But from bedrolls to mosquito spray, what to take often spins out of control, or gets missed completely. To help you pack for a stress free camping trip, Timbercreek brings you this list of essentials to help make your summer trip easy breezy.
Most important for any wilderness trip of any kind is your water source. Get a good ceramic filter, or purification tablets, and pre-fill a quality plastic or metal water bottle for each member of the trip. Learn more.
A good tent can make the difference between a sad and soggy trip, or a fabulous, dry, idyllic experience. Tent rentals are available, but whether you buy, rent, or borrow, don't skimp on this essential. Check out more.
Sleeping Bags and Pads
A close second to tents in importance is sleeping bags. Pick something that works for 3 seasons -- that'll allow for autumn type night temperatures that can readily occur in the bush, even in summer. Similarly, a sleeping pad can mean the difference between having a root in your back all night, and a sweet, dreamy night's sleep. Read more.
Knife, utensils, dishware
From food to rope, to digging to firewood, a good knife makes a big difference on a camping trip. Also make sure you have a cooking stove and fuel, a plastic "spork" (spoon + fork) and a plate for eating, as well as a mug for coffee, tea, and water. Learn more.
Camp Food
Camp food has to be thought of in terms of weight, cooking time, and difficulty of cooking. Another major factor to consider is each item's ability to last without refrigeration. Cheeses, pita bread, oats/grains, refried beans and canned goods, crackers and nuts are all good options. Learn more.
Weather-appropriate Clothing
For men and women alike, clothes for camping share similar requirements. Pack and think in layers. Don't bring too much cotton as cotton soaks up sweat, gets wet, and takes a long time to dry. Aim for one pair of multipurpose pants, a few poly blend t-shirts, a long sleeve, a light sweater, a water-resistant jacket, a bathing suit, 2-3 undies, at least one pair of good socks, sturdy shoes, and potentially a toque. Check it out.
Hygiene and Medical Essentials
Take travel size hygiene essentials, and don't go anywhere without a first aid kit. They're not super expensive and can be very helpful. Always be aware of bears and other animals if camping in their habitat. Learn more.
Timbercreek hopes this list helps you pack perfectly for a stress free summer camping trip! For more information about Timbercreek Communities in your city, please visit our website.
Summer Bucket List for Couple Outings

To inspire you to enjoy summer to the fullest, Timbercreek brings you this list of fun summer outing ideas for couples.

The miracle of the ice cream maker has made it possible to bring the magic of ice cream to your own kitchen. Without much work, you can whip up an awesome ice cream recipe! And even if you don't have one, there are deceptively simple ways to make ice cream with nothing but a few ingredients.
Salted Pretzel Ice Cream with Chocolate and Peanut Butter
Wow, if the title doesn't say enough, the taste sure will. A salted pretzel-flavored ice cream base studded with dark chocolate and peanut butter. It requires an ice cream maker, but it's worth the effort. Check out more here.
Earl Grey and Lavender Ice Cream
With a slight Asian influence, nodding to green tea ice cream, this variation makes use of the wonderfully subtle flavours of Earl Grey Tea and Lavender, which gives the ice cream a slightly purplish hue, with a phenomenal aroma. Find out more and get the recipe.
Mason Jar Ice Cream
Here's a 4-ingredient stunner that doesn't even need an ice cream maker. Pour cream, sugar, vanilla and salt into a mason jar, secure tightly with a lid, shake until the cream thickens and almost doubles in size (4 to 5 minutes). Freeze for 3 hours, or until hardened. Learn more.
One-Ingredient Banana Ice Cream
This is an almost unbelievable recipe requiring just bananas and a blender or food processor. Cut bananas into slices, freeze solid, transfer to a blender or food processor and begin pulsing on lower then higher settings, until, magically, it turns from chunky ice bits to smooth ice cream. Best of all, it's airy and gluten free. Learn more.
"Lemonsicle" Ice Cream
This is another super simple variation requiring only cream, milk, lemon juice, lemon zest, and sugar. Mix all the ingredients together and either pour into your ice cream maker, or refer to the Mason Jar trick for a handmade version. Find out more.
Timbercreek hopes these delicious ice cream recipes help you cool off in style this summer with some deluxe homemade ice cream. For more information about Timbercreek Communities in your city, please visit our website.

I'm trying to install opensuse(windows xp) with 40 gb free disk space. Can you tell me how to do that? I'm using desktop with 2gb ram and amd athlon x2 desktop.

OK. Much more information is required before _anyone_ can help you:
1. Which version of openSUSE?
2. What is current configuration of your hard drive(s)? If you can't describe it properly, expect to be asked to boot
into a Linux shell using a bootable USB stick/DVD and be asked to output the result of `fdisk -l' (with code tags).
3. Can you provide more information concerning your hardware (e.g. is it a 32-bit or 64-bit motherboard?)?
My recommendation specifically for your dual boot configuration will probably end up being:
1. Before doing anything else, backup _all_ your data onto external media (e.g. DVD/USB storage).
2. If you want to continue to use Windows, get rid of XP because it is *_no_ _longer_* supported and therefore
represents a security risk - unless you've decided not to connect it to the internet which I guess is not the case. If
you can afford it buy Windows 7, or if you can stomach it buy Windows 8.
3. Since you're going to have to install a new version of Windows anyway, you're going to have to blank the hard drive
and so you'll have all the choices in the world of how to partition your drive. So in order give you any further advice,
we first need to know the size of the entire drive(s).
4. If your _unwilling_ to buy Windows 7/8, then it would be irresponsible for anyone here to recommend how to dualboot
with Windows XP - and so the best recommendation would not be to dual boot, but to run a single OS that is currently
supported, e.g. openSUSE 13.1 (and in your case I'm guessing subversion i586_KDE or i586_GNOME). That's easily done with
the openSUSE DVD installer because you can simply ask it to use the entire hard drive.
1. Opensuse 13.1
2. C hard disk with 78 GB. 38 for windows and 40 GB for opensuse.
3. I'm using 32 bit motherboard
I don't want to erase the windows because my fathers must use the windows such as autoCAD,ETABS, and something like that. I'm unwilling to spend money for windows 7/8.
Any idea please?

> Any idea please?
For a single thread, please try to reply in a single post rather than multiple posts because it makes things much harder
to responders who are trying to help you. I've combined your posts here for your convenience, but try to make like
easier for others!

I understand. A few points:
1. Since it's your father's computer, make sure he's backed up everything he might every need in case anything goes
wrong. There is always a chance you may lose all the data on the computer and/or that you leave the computer completely
unbootable (into Windows or Linux).
2. Make sure your father is aware that Windows XP is no longer officially supported and therefore insecure. If the
software he uses (e.g. AutoCAD) is an important part of his work, the he _MUST_ buy Windows 7/8 because his machine is
would otherwise would not be fit for professional use.
3. Are you 100% sure you want to install a GNU/Linux distribution? If so, why openSUSE? I only ask because it's not a
distribution that ideal for GNU/Linux beginners. You might have a very good reason, but it would be useful to know.

I'm afraid the information to provided to the most question (#2) means very little and doesn't make sense. The 40 GB for
openSUSE cannot go into `C' because GNU/Linux systems cannot install (with one or two odd exceptions) onto ntfs filing
systems. I suspect it will be a very good idea for you to try to understand partitioning properly (e.g. what's the
difference between a primary and extended partition?) before attempting to dual boot. You might benefit from having a
look at the following links:
However. It's true to say that the openSUSE installer is very smart. It may ...just may... work without you having to
understand a thing. If you download the legacy 32-bit version of openSUSE from http://software.opensuse.org/131/en and
use Free ISO Burner onto DVD, set the BIOS to boot from DVD, and boot the openSUSE installer, it may recommend a
partition layout that _may_ work. I haven't even mentioned things like md5 checksums, media checks, and the MBR. Ideally
you would investigate those things before attempting the dual boot. But it's certainly possible you could end up with a
dual boot system that functions perfectly well without studying all these things... however I cannot guarantee you will
get away with it...
1. I've been use ubuntu and linux mint but IMO I prefer openSUSE because I want to learn more about GNU/Linux and how its work more than just using it.
2. My fathers knew that because He uses not genuine version of Windows.

Ok, we need some info. Boot any Linux live that you can get. If you do not have any, suggest you download this one:
Using Windows, I suggest you use DownThemAll!, a Firefox plugin, to do it: http://www.downthemall.net/. Using Linux, I suggest aria2c instead.
If your machine can boot from a usb stick, use one.
If not, burn to cd.
Then boot it.
Finally, what wee need you do to do is, in a terminal there, do:
su -
fdisk -l
lsblk --output NAME,KNAME,RM,SIZE,RO,TYPE,FSTYPE,LABEL,PARTLABEL,MOUNTPOINT,UUID,PARTUUID,MODEL,ALIGNMENT
and paste it all here, from initial command prompt, to last command prompt, in a single mouse sweep, and please do so inside code tags (the '#' button in the forum editor).
You can connect to internet from that live Linux. Keep the live handy, it is useful for repairs.
Cheers / Saludos,
Carlos E. R.
(from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)
su -
fdisk -l
lsblk --output NAME,KNAME,RM,SIZE,RO,TYPE,FSTYPE,LABEL,PARTLABEL,MOUNTPOINT,UUID,PARTUUID,MODEL,ALIGNMENT
Ok it is unclear what you consider free space. Free space in this context is unpartitioned space on the the hard drive. Note that Microsoft has confused everyone by naming partitions drives. ie C: refers to a partition on a drive not the drive. So when you say c drive is that the drive or the p[partition that MS has missed named c drive??
Ok Assuming you do have 40 gig free non partitioned space and that ther is only one Windows partition ( ie there are not recovery or utiltiy partitions hidden away) the installer should just use that space. it will create a swap,root and home partition by default There may be an extended partition created depending on how many partitions are really on the drive.
If you want more help or don't understand this you need to post the actual partitions by booting a Linux live disk and showing us the output of
fdisk -l
Note that is a lower case L not a one)
First of all, Windows XP thinks it's the only OS in the world - so the easiest way to dual boot is to start with an empty first hard drive and install Windows XP there. Then install openSUSE afterwards. You may find that backing up your entire Linux installation, installing Windows XP and then reinstalling Linux, albeit longwinded, is less timeconsuming than trying to add Windows XP to an existing Linux set up unless you virtualise Windows XP rather than dual boot.
There is no problem about using Windows XP alongside Linux for ever as long as you don't connect to the Internet - well, actually, if you do once a month, you still get MS's minimal security updates. I used Windows XP alongside Linux for several years because it had a program for which there was no Linux alternative at the time - I just used it solely for that program and nothing else - and your father can do that too.

Szuhaj: Enough Bells and Whistles
DDS and Dartmouth's administration must adopt substantive change.
With the introduction of flat-screen TVs, the option to "text Foco" and musical accompaniments at mealtime — to name a few of the changes Dartmouth Dining Services has implemented in the past few months — it seems like DDS is doing everything it can to increase student satisfaction. The sad truth, however, is that DDS can dress up overpriced food and basic service with all the bells and whistles it wants, but none of those Band-Aid fixes address the real problem: DDS has a virtual monopoly over student dining choices.
Enrolled students are forced to buy a meal plan; the cheapest option, which is $970, is only accessible to students living off-campus. This is despite the fact that for some, buying groceries and preparing their own food is a more sensible option. Not only that, but incoming students are forced to buy the most expensive meal-plan, "the 20," named after the amount of meal swipes included each week, which comes with $100 in DBA and little flexibility in dining options. While some may argue that the 20 ensures that freshmen stay adequately fed and increases social interaction by encouraging them to dine at the Class of '53 Commons, the reality is that DDS is concerned first and foremost with profit, reportedly generating over $1 million in net income in 2011.
Rather than making real, substantive changes — such as improving the quality of food, lowering the cost of food or expanding operations to include an additional blender in Collis or a second line at the Courtyard Cafe — DDS flouts quick, meaningless changes, such as the removal of napkin dispensers on all tables or the addition of unwanted music in Foco, as laudable action. One must only wait in line at the Hop and read the messages sent to "@txtcyc" to realize the foolishness with which DDS regards its relationship with the student body. Rather then provide actual, valuable customer feedback, the Hop's flatscreen monitors provide mindless entertainment. Rather than vent serious frustrations with its service, exorbitant prices and questionable food quality, students have taken to ridiculing DDS. While comedy can and should be used as a method of coping, we must not let it cover DDS' inefficiencies. We should recognize that this very dynamic — our tendency to "meme" annoyances — is also at work when we discuss Dartmouth's administration.
It's no secret that the administration is unpopular. In a survey carried out by The Dartmouth last July, '18s gave the administration as a whole a -75.5 favorability rating. Issues such as ending need-blind financial aid for international students and the "Moving Dartmouth Forward" initiative received -78.2 and -65.7 net favorability ratings, respectively. In the same survey, the faculty received a +84.3 net favorability rating. Student opinion is clear: faculty are doing their jobs well. Administrators — even if they are doing their jobs well — are viewed unfavorably.
Staff at Dartmouth increased by 14 percent from 2010 to 2015, while the number of faculty only increased by 6 percent during the same period. Of that 6 percent, about a quarter were faculty added to one of Dartmouth's professional schools — the Tuck School of Business, Thayer School of Engineering or Geisel School of Medicine. With the $160 million Dartmouth committed to create the Arthur L. Irving Institute for Energy and Society, it is increasingly clear that the administration values its role as a research university. While opinions on this move will differ, one of Dartmouth's main draws is its storied history as a top-tier liberal arts college. Boasting excellent faculty and academic diversity in the relatively remote location of Hanover, New Hampshire, Dartmouth often bills itself as a bastion of learning, creative freedom and self-growth. However, Dartmouth feels less and less like a "small college" filled with "those who love it" and more and more like a corporation.
Dartmouth's administration has struck an increasingly patriarchal tone with students. Banning hard alcohol, instituting the housing system and de-recognizing Greek organizations are all manifestations of apparently unwanted administrative intrusion into the lives of students. As thrilling as Founder's Day was for many starry-eyed freshman last winter, contrived events like it are often met more with sarcasm and memes than with genuine excitement. We, as students who simultaneously inhabit a position of tremendous privilege due to our education and one of powerlessness to change institutional mainstays such as DDS, often respond with a curious mix of apathy and humor.
However, while we laugh, we must not forget that other, better systems exist. Many schools have a system whereby students can spend funds similar to DBA on off-campus dining options. Administrative restructuring — and therefore the possibility of reducing the number of administrators — is a feature of many college presidents' tenures. Alternative strategies to increase efficiency, reduce costs and improve student satisfaction are clearly viable options, but they will not be carried out unless we continue to pressure both DDS and the administration.
That said, what should be the easiest fix of all still hasn't happened. How many times do I have to text DDS before it adds a second blender for Collis smoothies?

"Super service at The Elephant House"
19 Mar 2013
By Mike, United Kingdom
"This was our second visit to The Elephant House. Although it has been almost 10 years since our last the friendly and efficient stay was as good as before. The Lodge has been developed and expanded in that time but I would defy anybody to see the joins. We were brilliantly looked after including spotting a flat tyre and changing the wheel for us. Well done to the owners and staff."

Volcanic activity worldwide 26 Nov 2013: Merapi, Santa María / Santiaguito, Pacaya, Fuego, Popocat
Tuesday Nov 26, 2013 17:57 PM |
Glow from Etna's New SE crater last evening
Small ash emission from Popocatépetl this morning
Santiaguito volcano this morning (INSIVUMEH)
Etna (Sicily, Italy): No changes in activity have occurred since yesterday. Very occasionally, glow from the summit vent at the NSEC and from a vent at its southern base is visible, suggesting ongoing sporadic deep-seated explosions inside the cone. Tremor is low at the moment.
Comparison google earth image and Landsat satellite image from 24 Nov, where the new island can be seen (Blog Culture Volcan)
Ulawun (New Britain, Papua New Guinea): Activity continues. Darwin VAAC reported a small gas and perhaps ash plume at 12,000 ft (3.6 km) altitude this morning.
Sinabung (Sumatra, Indonesia): Ash emissions and explosions continue. So far, about 18,000 people have been evacuated from the most endangered zones in a radius of 5 km around the volcano.
Merapi (Central Java): Particular vigilance should be maintained to monitor the volcano. A large crack, about 230 m long and 50 m wide, has appeared in the lava dome that had been emplaced in the summit crater at the end of the 2010 eruption. It increases the current risk of sudden collapse of the dome, resulting in rock avalanches and dangerous pyroclastic flows. Even a smaller phreatic explosion than the one from 18 Nov could trigger this.
Popocatépetl (Central Mexico): No significant changes in activity have occurred. Only 8 weak emissions / explosions were recorded by CENAPRED during the latest 24 hr observation interval. The attached picture shows the largest of these events.
Santa María / Santiaguito (Guatemala): The INSIVUMEH observatory reports weak to moderate explosions with ash plumes up to 700 m height and constant block avalanches from the rims of the Caliente lava dome, sign that effusive activity has increased somewhat.
Pacaya (Guatemala): Strombolian activity continues, but has been weak over the past days.
Fuego (Guatemala): The lava flow on the upper southern slope was no longer active this morning (while it was still 100 m long yesterday). The volcano is back to its typical mild explosive activity from the summit crater with strombolian bursts generating ash plumes up to about 600 m high, sometimes accompanied by loud shock waves.
Jebel Zubair (Red Sea): Satellite images show signs of ongoing activity (steam plume, discolored water) at the new island at least until 20 November. A satellite image from 24 November shows no such signs any more, suggesting that the activity has stopped or paused.
Previous news
Monday, Nov 25, 2013
Etna (Sicily, Italy): The New SE crater is restless. Occasional glow from the summit vent suggest that deep-seated strombolian activity continues. At the same time when this activity was visible, a glowing spot at the southern base was present as well. This could be a small effusive vent that is activated briefly during phases the magma column rises high enough inside the conduit. ... [more]

Etna (Sicily, Italy): The New SE crater is not completely quiet: there are small strombolian explosions, sometimes with lava ejections and sometimes only indicated by occasional weak glow from both the summit vent. In addition, at the same time increased glow is visible at the effusive vent on the east side of the cone. The latter has shown a similar behavior for the past two weeks before and after the main phases of the eruption. It seems to become active whenever the internal pressure in the conduit increases during explosions, and reacts by squeezing out small amounts of lava. ... [more]

TODAY sees the start of National Curry Week. We don't normally need an excuse to eat curry, but this gives us the perfect one, anyway.
This Thai green chicken curry is from restaurant chain Thai Square. It's an authentic Thai recipe which is packed with flavour.
We predict you'll go back for more!
See thaisq.com for further details.
You'll need
For the paste
1 green chilli
½ cup diced purple onion
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 thumb-size grated ginger
1 stalk lemon grass, minced
1 tsp ground coriander
½ tsp ground cumin
1 tsp shrimp paste
½ cup fresh coriander leaves
2 tsp fish sauce
1 tsp brown sugar
1 tsp lime juice
1/3 can coconut milk
Other Ingredients
4 lime leaves or grated zest
2 tsp peanut oil
1/3 can coconut milk
1 kg boneless chicken thigh/breast
1 red or green bell pepper
Place all the green curry paste ingredients in a food processor and blitz to form a paste.
Separate lime leaves from the stem, (discard the stem) then cut the leaves into thin strips.
Warm a wok or a frying pan over medium heat. Add oil and add the green curry paste. Stir-fry for 1 minute to release the fragrance, then add the coconut milk.
Now add chicken. When the curry comes to a boil, simmer for 5 minutes and check that the chicken is cooked. Stir occasionally.
Add the vegetables and lime leaves or zest. Stir well. Simmer until the vegetables are cooked.
Add some fish sauce and taste. If you like it sweet, add sugar, if it is too salty then add lime juice, if too spicy add coconut milk. Aim for a balance of all flavours.
Serve with jasmine rice.

May not have been necessary, but to make sure the pin was solid and the rest of the print followed standard infill, I printed with 4 outer shells. Note: S3D wouldn't place support under the tip of the pin automatically, I had to manually add them. (3mm on build platform only was a good start then added under the tip).
How I Designed This: All done in Tinkercad. First, I took the ring and closed the gap since I was planning to create my own pin anyway (I actually remixed the original pin when I printed the first few awhile back). I married the ring with the bottom (no pun intended) and designed a hinge inspired by the original with smaller gap and slightly more durable pin. While I was at it, I decreased the size of the button to actually fit in the socket now (doesn't require a heat gun and forceful persuasion). I like the base of another Pokeball so I sized it accordingly and included it.

It's a crappy picture I know – a little too dark, not centered, etc. – but it's so appropriate for tonight's episode of South Park, "Red Hot Catholic Love." This is absolutely one of my favorite episodes. When the priest-molesting-boy scandal makes the South Park parents fear for their children's safety, they abandon the Church and become atheists. In the meantime, Father Maxi goes to the Vatican to try to put a stop to the molestation and save Catholicism and the results and closing words of the episode are inspirational and amazing.
Personally, I found the Vatican to be one of the most sensational places I visited in four months of non-stop backpacking around Europe. The Vatican Museum was by far my favorite museum, especially Raphael's School of Athens painting. It was breathtaking and brought tears to my eyes. The collection aside from that was spectacular, and I can't even imagine all of the amazing knowledge waiting to be found in the Vatican's files and libraries. Conceptually, that it's a country, the place is also fascinating – so small and entirely inside the capital city of another country! St. Peter's Basilica is unbelievably enormous (though the statues everywhere I found a little weird – kind of pagan and a little too cult worshippy). All in all, though, a sensational place that I recommend to every traveler.
But the issues in the Catholic Church are fascinating and require greater scrutiny – something that South Park gives us in episode 608. Why do the South Park parents go atheist? Are their reasons connected to their concerns about their children? Do you agree that when people don't have any mythology to try to live their lives by they just start spewing a whole bunch of crap out of their mouths? A fantastic episode – do not miss it!

International Women's Day
International Women's Day means something different for everyone.
Today we would like to reflect and appreciate the journey of women in Paramedicine. We have made huge strides from Ontario's first female Paramedic Marg Kwilla (nee Beatty) who was hired by Halton/Mississauga in 1975, to the amazing 118 female Paramedics in OPSEU Local 303, making up 35% of frontline paramedics.
