10 Finger Licking Linux Desktop Themes

By Pavs on October 10th, 2008

Last time when we published such a list on Linux Desktop; we received a lot of flak for showing mockups and not actually showing how the themes can be replicated by users. Anyone can go to gnome-look and go through thousands of available theme, but we have decided to make a list of ten themes that we thought are a cut above the others, with a link to download and you can try them yourself. Feel free to share your favorite Linux Desktop theme on the comment.

1) BlackWhite GTK

2) Mire v2

3) Arezzo

4) Gaia Nova

5) Aurora Smooth

6) DustTheme

7) Innocent

8) Hyo o9o8 - ThemePack

9) Motivation

10) Wreathing Gray

Sprite has fun at her annual veterinary visit

All three dogs (and their bag of treats) were at Sprite's veterinary visit

We mostly teach our pets to be afraid at the veterinarian's. Every time the animal comes in, she gets a shot -- or at least has her temperature taken in ways too unpleasant to contemplate.

My dogs know that most of the time, the vet's office is pretty much a theme park. I bring along my own treats (such as really yummy fish and venison jerky), and hand them out generously and continuously. I usually bring all three dogs along to each dog's appointment, so there's only a one-in-three chance of a medical procedure of any sort while they're there.

The fallout from the economic downturn could be a significant threat to mental health, according to a survey.

House repossession was rated as the event most likely to cause mental health problems, ahead of redundancy, or finding out about infertility.

Obama Buys Half-Hour of Network Primetime

Exclusive: Obama buys half-hour of network primetime

Barack Obama has purchased a half-hour of primetime television on CBS and NBC, sources confirm.

The Obama campaign is producing a nationwide pitch to voters that will air on at least two broadcast networks. The ad will run Wednesday, Oct. 29, at 8 p.m. -- less than a week before the general election.

"Obama's theme is not just change but unity, so he's appealing to the whole nation rather than a handful of tossup states," Sabato said. "He wants to win the popular vote by a good margin, which will enable him to govern."

Sabato said that national broadcasts were not uncommon in the 1960s and early 1970s, when TV time wasn't as expensive and the current campaign financing limits weren't in place. It's also a common strategy for candidates for statewide offices to patch together stations on a statewide telecast.

For The Fifth Time, McCain Campaign Illegally Uses Artists’ Copyrighted Music»

The problem is that the McCain campaign never obtained legal permission to use the song. Heart’s representative issued a statement:

Last month, McCain released his technology policy, in which he promised to “protect the creative industries from piracy.”

The Republican campaign did not ask for permission to use the song, nor would they have been granted that permission.

Sen. John McCain’s (R-AZ) campaign blasted the song “Barracuda” by Heart. The tune is meant to be a theme song for Gov. Sarah Palin (R-AK), whose high school nickname was reportedly “Sarah Barracuda.”

LIHOP: Let It Happen On Purpose

clipper's remarks: (cont.)In effect, taking the hit on 9-11-2001 -- or more accurately, having several thousand innocent people take the hit -- would then allow a fanatical response, which would be politically acceptable to the American public. Thus the initiation of what might best be described as Bush Wars -- a variation of a theme of Oil Wars.

An extremely credible and interesting article in this regard is by a member of the British Parliament, entitled The War on Terrorism is Bogus. This article has the advantage of basing its argument on what has been learned over the last two years -- but almost never publicized in the mainstream Media. In essence, it explains that the evidence is extremely convincing that the high level neo-conservatives in the US government were aware of the impending strike and took great pains to ensure that it was successfully accomplished. The latter includes making sure every member of the government was immediately unavailable to deal with the crisis as it unfolded o

LIHOP

The basic idea is that LIHOP stands for "Let It Happen On Purpose". In essence, we're dealing here with a theory that suggests the United States federal government -- and very importantly, high level members of the Bush Administration in particular -- were sufficiently forewarned about the 9-11-2001 attacks that these attacks could have been prevented. Furthermore these forewarnings were intentionally ignored, and allowed to happen, in order to have an attack on the order of Pearl Harbor. According to the theory, such an attack could be used to carry out a neo-conservative, covert agenda of invading various countries in the Middle East. By occupying and controlling several countries in the Middle East -- Afghanistan and Iraq spring to mind -- the United States and Britain would then have access and control over the oil fields in these countries.

The Teddy Bears' Picnic

Our thematic unit for the first week in September is Bears.
I send a note home the previous Friday explaining our plans for a week long Bear unit, a fun hall display homework activity and asking for treat donations for our culminating activity~~OUR TEDDY BEAR PICNIC. CLICK HERE TO VIEW THE NOTE TO PARENTS.

Each student brings a bear from home to visit for the week. Only bears with good manners get to stay for the week. Those with disruptive behavior need to be sent home. Usually the kids (I mean the bears...) handle their visit well and all bears are able to visit the whole week. On Friday we
make our own Bear Ears to wear and read The Teddy Bears' Picnic. We sing the song, and then take our bears out to the playground to have our Teddy Bears' Picnic. It is always a favoite activity that the kids remember at the end of the year!

7 Abandoned Architectural Wonders of Modern Asia

Abandoned buildings, properties and places take on remarkably different aesthetic character and are treated differently from one culture to the next - particularly in Asian nations where beliefs about the cultural role of architecture or the whims of a dictator can vary greatly. From South Korea to North Korea, Cambodia to Thailand and Azerbaijan to Hong Kong here are seven amazing oriental and subcontinental abandonments from the Near East to the Far East, from skyscraper hotels and pod cities to shopping malls and amusement parks and everything in between.

1) The Lawless Kowloon Walled City, Hong Kong

2) The Ryugyong Hotel in Pyongyang, North Korea

3) The Pod City of San Zhi, Taiwan

4) The Abandoned City of Agdam, Azerbaijan

5) Bokor Hill Station in Phnom Bokor, Cambodia

6) Opko Land Theme Park in Opko, South Korea

7) Chiang Shopping Complex in Chiang Mai, Thailand

Halloween at California Theme Parks

clipper's remarks: Five suggestions for Halloween fun at different California amusement parks.

Clip Source: travelingmamas.com

If the drug stores and supermarkets are any indication, celebrating Halloween is at least a month-long event - if not longer. Theme parks are no exception, of course. In fact, many of California’s theme parks start with the scary celebration of Halloween as soon as school starts in September.

Disneyland - The price of admission is no longer the scariest thing about Disneyland (though it’s still high on the list). Halloween Time at Disneyland is a gigantic annual event, running this year from September 26 to November 2. Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas and its star, Jack Skellington, really get to come out from the shadow of all those princesses every Fall. The Haunted Mansion has been transformed into what can only be described as a Halloween extravaganza in the past; we can assume that the same will hold true this year. It’s a little bit scary, with a few critters that pop out unexpected, but getting startled is part of the fun at Disneyland this time of year.
