While experimenting with the pywapi I found a few problems that require an article, in case someone is facing the same issues.
First, for Canadian cities, you need a more current version of pywapi. On Ubuntu 12.04, the python-pywapi is 0.2.2-1 and does not have the API for Weather.com. The version on 14.04 is 0.3.6, and does have that API.
Second, you need to find the code for your city. Here is a list of codes.
Al-Hakim's religious policy was as erratic as his other policies. He would issue a decree, then after a while, he would annul it for no apparent reason. His policies were catastrophic for Muslims, Jews, and Christians alike, and his actions caused a change in world history as you will see below.
Al-Hakim also was used to threaten death for seemingly trivial things.
For example, he said that death is the punishment for anyone who addressed any other person as Sayedna or Mawlana:
معاشر من يسمع هذا النداء من الناس أجمعين إن الله وله الكبرياء والعظمة أوجب اختصاص الأئمة بما لا يشركها فيه أحد من الأمة.
فمن أقدم بعد قراءة هذا المنشور على مخاطبة او مكاتبة لغير الحضرة المقدسة بسيدنا أو مولانا فقد أخل أمير المؤمنين دمه
فليبلغ الشاهد الغائب إن شاء الله.
Those who ate fish without scales, or possessed raisins were threatened with execution:
Today, I gave a KWLUG Talk on how I replaced the disk of my laptop under Linux, while preserving all the information on it and making hibernate work.
The PDF of the presentation is attached below.
In mid June, my laptop hard disk died. Suddenly, there was a flurry of disk I/O wait, then applications started to report errors trying to write anything.
With a 500GB 2.5" laptop disk lying around that was used for backup, I replaced the dead disk with this one.
I had an Ubuntu Server 14.04 CD lying around, and therefore did not bother to download Kubuntu 14.04.
My laptop's home directory is backed up daily via ssh to the server. So my data was safe.
Recently my laptop hard disk died suddenly, and I had an unused 2.5" laptop disk lying around, so I just put that in, and installed Ubuntu Linux LTS 14.04, then added the packages I needed.
However, using smartmontools, I found out that the not so new disk has unhealthy statistics, and did not want to risk down time on my main computer.
Here is another form of "you are the beneficiary of an unclaimed fund" scam. The name of the deceased rich person is Khalid. What a coincidence ...
From: Barrister Ebunie Johnson Nzewi
Good Day khalid,
This is to officially notify you on the unclaimed fund left by Mr.khalid, who was burnt to death with his entire family, in when their car collided with a trailer while they are coming back from a holiday in a resort off the town.
Here is another case of someone from Hyderabad, India, who was scammed of 700,000 Indian Rupees, which is the equivalent of almost $13,400 US Dollars.
Moreover, this was all borrowed money.

Attached are the slides from my presentation tonight at the KWLUG on how to flash a custom Android ROM (in this case OmniROM) on the Acer Iconia A500 tablet. The podcast is here.
The whole process was done without any Windows software. All was done from Linux.
If you have a slow cooker, cooking can be done with minimal preparation time, using cuts of meat that are often tough for other methods.
Note that food from the slow cooker does not look very appetizing if it is served as is. The taste and convinience, however make up for it. If you want, you can use garnishing to make the dish look better on the plates.
You do not need any cooking fat for this dish, which makes it the more healthy.
