Valentine's Day does not always allow for a lengthy trip to celebrate with that special someone, but if you are in Southern California a quick visit to Laguna Cliffs Marriott Resort & Spa makes for the perfect getaway.
Located in the heart of Orange County in Dana Point, Laguna Cliffs is just a leisurely drive on the five freeway from Los Angeles or San Diego. Once you check in, you will quickly forget that drive. As you take in the scenic view and feel the ocean breeze you will feel as if you took a long romantic trip far from your normal everyday worries. To make your Valentine's Day visit even more special, Laguna Cliffs has put together an entire package for you just to celebrate this special day. The package has Valentine's Day written all over it as you are given deluxe accommodations, a bottle of house champagne, a decadent treat of warm donut holes with vanilla ice cream and crispy waffles with salty caramel ice cream that you can enjoy at the Vue bar and finally breakfast for two. This is where the real dilemma comes in, do you have a romantic bedside breakfast in your stunning Laguna Cliffs room or do you head to the Vue restaurant to enjoy an amazing breakfast buffet with the gorgeous view of the Pacific Ocean. As tempting as the bedside breakfast is, feeling the ocean breeze while taking in that view really is hard to beat.
If you want to impress your date even more, you can enjoy a romantic Valentine's Day dining experience at Vue Restaurant. Vue is offering a six-course meal that features Maine lobster tail and filet medallions and it is finished off with seven-layer chocolate cake and red velvet lollipops. You can have this decadent meal paired with wine or you can choose to have it without wine.
While romance is the first thing on the menu this week, don't miss out on everything else that Laguna Cliffs and Dana Point has to offer to really complete your visit. If you love the water you will be able to find fishing, whale watching, jet skiing and sailing. If you just want to take in scenic Dana Point you can rent bikes and make it a couple's adventure or you just hit the walking and jogging trails that take you through area. Right next to Laguna Cliffs you can spend a relaxing day at Lantern Bay Park. If you prefer to stay at the hotel and not venture out, Laguna Cliffs has two great heated pools and a steaming whirlpool to enjoy with your valentine.

Girls right to education
Language: English

This Resource Tool Kit has been developed for UNICEF Education Officers in South Asia, and presents a synthesis of key issues related to disparities in education in the region and potential strategies to overcome or reduce these disparities. The document also includes references for further readings. The Tool Kit is a contribution to UNICEFs renewed focus on reaching the most disadvantaged children by taking stock of what we already know in education in South Asia from a number of publications produced by UNICEF ROSA, research groups and other organisations over the last few years.
The brief but composite account of dynamics which challenge the fulfilment of the right to education for all children and examples of interventions to help alleviate it provides a basis for reflection on equity in UNICEFs current work in education. The synthesis also includes the voices of children, parents, teachers and education workers through direct quotes collected through qualitative research.
The Tool Kit is also meant for people working in education in other UN agencies, government and NGO partners. It has six chapters, each of which has a list of resources for further reading at the end of the chapter. The resources included in this Tool Kit are not exhaustive and UNICEF ROSA welcomes submissions of additional resources for future consolidation.

Post-vacation DU hockey offerings
I missed a lot in my nine days of vacation and need to catch up.I'll start by apologizing about the lack of coverage we had with the NHL draft when pertaining to our local college boys. Incoming freshmen Beau Bennett, Jason Zucker and Sam Brittain deserve better from their new local paper, and in the future, I hope to prove to them and their families that we are in the big leagues.
Interesting stories with each of these guys. Bennett, who went 20th overall to Pittsburgh, is the first Californian to be selected in the first round (a second Cali kid went No. 29 in the same day). Zucker, who was selected by Minnesota in the second round, is the first Las Vegas native to be drafted. And with Brittain going in the fourth round to Florida, he follows the man he replaced, Marc Cheverie, as a Panthers draft pick. Chevy, of course, signed with Florida in April.
Bennett, Zucker and Brittain figure to have great college careers in front of them, but let's not forget, the other two incoming scholarship freshman that weren't drafted – forward Nick Shore and defenseman David Makowski – have huge expectations too. Shore, 17, will be draft-eligible next summer and could be among the top-20 North American prospects when Central Scouting's preliminary rankings come out this fall. Makowski, 20, was passed over by NHL clubs the two previous years – which in hindsight could be a blessing. As an unrestricted free agent, the reigning U.S. Hockey League defenseman of the year could be looking at Tyler Bozak-type offers in a year or two (hopefully three). Bozak, also a late-bloomer, had 20-some teams bid for his services before choosing the Maple Leafs last year. While Makowski is in a great position, it's not so terrific for the Pioneers. Instead of worrying about one team trying to sign him, they could have 30.
Bennett, from Gardena, Calif., will wear No. 9 at DU.I assume he likes the number, but he's partly doing it to honor former California-bred DU stars Gabe Gauthier (Torrance) and Rhett Rakhshani (Huntington Beach). Gabe donned that number when he amassed all those huge goals at the NCAA Tournaments in 2004 and 2005. And Rakhshani wore No. 9 during his All-American season last year. Gabe and Rhett played four years at DU, but the program will probably be lucky to get two out of Bennett before the Penguins lure him away.
Speaking of Gauthier, I skate on Wednesdays with Greg and Bud Ahbe's group at South Suburban, and among the skilled current or former paid-to-play skaters is good 'ole Gabe. At 26, he's married and has a 1-year-old child. We had a nice visit a couple weeks ago before his Green team upended my White squad in a shootout. He said the L.A. Kings, who signed him as a free agent two years ago, have said they would like him back at the club's AHL affiliate in Manchester next season, but Gabe is going to explore his opportunities with another team that's willing to give him a better look at the big club. . . . Some other former Pios skating with us is Max Bull, Kelly Hollingshead, Greg Woods and Don Mercier.
Not surprisingly, the goaltending plan going into the season is to platoon the two 6-foot-3 youngsters for at least the first month or so. Sophomore Adam Murray will likely get the season opener and freshman Sam Brittain will play Game 2.
The new third-string goalie is Josh Rosenholtz,a 5-8, 170-pound senior from Ridgefield, Conn. He previously played club hockey while at school. Rosenholtz takes over for senior Lars Paulgaard, who has chosen to retire. In two years with the program, Paulgaard appeared in just four games, including just one last season (4.26 GAA, .667 save percentage).
Thanks for reading.

Compact Camping Concepts (CCC) founder, Scott Chaney, claims his do-it-yourself focused camping trailers "are unique in the camping industry," According to a report by RVing Examiner.
Designed specifically for the cost conscious, no frills, camping enthusiast Chaney's compact lightweight tent top camper solutions were inspired by the simplicity of those vintage tent trailers of yore and are aimed squarely at those who, as Scott puts it, "enjoy unplugged camping."
Chaney, a former IT Program Manager, incorporated his Salem, Oregon-based camping company in 2007 shortly after becoming a member of what he ruefully describes as Hewlett-Packard's "cast-off employees society." Fortunately, "I always had that need to take things apart and put them back together," said Chaney. "I can think all the way back to when I was a little kid building models. I'd build it first and then I'd take two or three other models I had, take them all apart and combine them into a single model that was better than the rest."
Chaney, who probably had no inkling that his childhood fondness for Tinker Toys and Erector Sets would culminate over three decades later in the creation of a prototype quarter ton, top loading, military-style camping trailer with an onboard tent, added, "It ended up getting sold within two camping trips."

Runway, your way: How to wear over-the-knee boots
Wonder how to work catwalk cool into your own closet? Here's how to translate the trends for real life.
You've got shoe-ties. And booties. Maybe a pair of cowboy boots, biker boots and ankle boots, too. You've got boots that nearly reach the knee in flat, stacked and stiletto styles. But do you have over-the-knee boots? If not, you better get shopping. BCBG, Phillip Lim, Prabal Gurung, Tom Ford, Pucci, Ralph Lauren, Donna Karan, Chanel and many others all sent models wearing super-tall, sometimes even thigh-high boots down their fall runways. It's not an easy trend to wear – after all, there's a fine line between pretty woman and "Pretty Woman," right? But with the right outfits, heels and other details, the look can be the, er, height of chic. Here's how to work the trend (without looking like a working girl).
THE RUNWAY: 3.1 Phillip Lim, fall 2013
Over-the-knee boots took on a preppy vibe during Lim's show, when he paired a luxe-looking camel pair with a boyfriend blazer, sweater and miniskirt. Just the right amount of sexy.
Go flat: If you're worried about your extra tall boots looking too street walker, opt for a flat pair. While still hot, the flat heel gives the boot a more casual vibe and looks great worn with tucked-in jeans or a skirt (or even shorts with tights) and blazer or oversized sweater. Remember, mixing more relaxed pieces with the hard-core boots is the trendy, cool way to go.

" I consider it impossible then, for those who believe the Church to be one vast body in heaven and on earth, in which every holy creature of God has his place, and of which prayer is the life, when once they recognize the sanctity and dignity of the Blessed Virgin, not to perceive immediately, that her office above is one of perpetual intercession for the faithful militant, and that our very relation to her must be that of clients to a patron, and that, in the eternal enmity which exists between the woman and the serpent, while the serpent's strength lies in being the Tempter, the weapon of the Second Eve and Mother of God is prayer.
As then these ideas of her sanctity and dignity gradually penetrated the mind of Christendom, so did that of her intercessory power follow close upon them and with them. From the earliest times that mediation is symbolized in those representations of her with up-lifted hands, which, whether in plaster or in glass, are still extant in Rome,—that Church, as St. Iren?us says, with which 'every Church, that is, the faithful from every side, must agree, because of its more powerful principality;' 'into which,' as Tertullian adds, 'the Apostles poured out, together with their blood, their whole doctrine.' As far indeed as existing documents are concerned, I know of no instance to my purpose earlier than A.D. 234, but it is a very remarkable one; and, though it has been often quoted in the controversy, an argument is not weaker for frequent use.
'St. Gregory Nyssen , then, a native of Cappadocia in the fourth century, relates that his namesake, Bishop of Neo-Caesarea in Pontus, surnamed Thaumaturgus, in the century preceding, shortly before he was called to the priesthood, received in a vision a Creed, which is still extant, from the Blessed Mary at the hands of St. John. The account runs thus:—He was deeply pondering theological doctrine, which the heretics of the day depraved. 'In such thoughts,' says his namesake of Nyssa, 'he was passing the night, when one appeared, as if in human form, aged in appearance, saintly in the fashion of his garments, and very venerable both in grace of countenance and general mien. Amazed at the sight, he started from his bed, and asked who it was, and why he came; but, on the other calming the perturbation of his mind with his gentle voice, and saying he had appeared to him by divine command on account of his doubts, in order that the truth of the orthodox faith might be revealed to him, he took courage at the word, and regarded him with a mixture of joy and fright. Then, on his stretching his hand straight forward and pointing with his fingers at something on one side, he followed with his eyes the extended hand, and saw another appearance opposite to the former, in shape of a woman, but more than human ... When his eyes could not bear the apparition, he heard them conversing together on the subject of his doubts; and thereby not only gained a true knowledge of the faith, but learned their names, as they addressed each other by their respective appellations. And thus he is said to have heard the person in woman's shape bid "John the Evangelist" disclose to the young man the mystery of godliness; and he answered that he was ready to comply in this matter with the wish of "the Mother of the Lord," and enunciated a formulary, well-turned and complete, and so vanished. He, on the other hand, immediately committed to writing that divine teaching of his mystagogue, and henceforth preached in the Church according to that form, and bequeathed to posterity, as an inheritance, that heavenly teaching, by means of which his people are instructed down to this day, being preserved from all heretical evil." He proceeds to rehearse the Creed thus given, 'There is One God, Father of a Living Word,' &c. Bull (ed. an Anglican authority), after quoting it in his work on the Nicene Faith, alludes to this history of its origin, and adds, 'No one should think it incredible that such a providence should befall a man whose whole life was conspicuous for revelations and miracles, as all ecclesiastical writers who have mentioned him (and who has not?) witness with one voice.'
Here our Lady is represented as rescuing a holy soul from intellectual error. This leads me to a further reflection. You seem, in one place of your Volume, to object to the Antiphon, in which it is said of her, 'All heresies thou hast destroyed alone.' Surely the truth of it is verified in this age, as in former times, and especially by the doctrine concerning her, on which I have been dwelling. She is the great exemplar of prayer in a generation, which emphatically denies the power of prayer in toto, which determines that fatal laws govern the universe, that there cannot be any direct communication between earth and heaven, that God cannot visit His own earth, and that man cannot influence His providence."- Venerable John Henry Newman, C.O.
A Letter Addressed to the Rev. E. B. Pusey, D.D., on Occasion of His Eirenicon

Amazon cemented its long-term interest in the grocery industry when it spent nearly $14 billion to acquire Whole Foods earlier this year. Now it�s making a subtler move aimed at improving its own grocery selection online.
Amazon recently told businesses that sell non-perishable grocery items on Amazon.com that it was lowering the fee it charges them on items priced at $15 or less. Amazon previously charged 15 percent on all grocery items, but will now charge only 8 percent on the lower-priced goods for at least the next year.�To help you list more products and keep prices competitive, we are offering you a limited-time referral fee discount on Grocery products,� the email said, according to a copy forwarded to Recode. �This fee promotion starts at 12:00 a.m. October 15, 2017 (PST), and will run through 11:59 p.m. October 14, 2018 (PST).�The move could be looked at as a competition-focused one: While Walmart also charges 15 percent across the board for grocery items sold through its online marketplace, its subsidiary Jet.com charges only 10 percent for most non-gourmet packaged foods, according to its website.Perhaps more importantly, though, the fee reduction seems like an acknowledgement that it�s difficult for businesses to make a reasonable profit when selling some inexpensive groceries online.Take, for example, a business that wants to sell a 40-ounce jar of peanut butter that retails for $5.49. The easiest way to make the product eligible for the Prime shipping program is to store it in an Amazon warehouse under its Fulfilled By Amazon � or FBA � program.But the FBA storage-and-shipping fee alone for this one jar would be about $4.44 � in part because of its weight � and that�s before you factor in the cost for the seller to make or acquire the product as well as Amazon�s 15 percent commission under the previous fee structure. The economics don�t really work.As a result, sellers and grocery brands have had to come up with alternatives to sell these lower-priced grocery staples through Amazon. One popular option is selling a certain product in a more-expensive bulk pack, as you might find in a Costco or BJ�s Wholesale Club.

Special Puppy431 for broadcom 4312 (and other?) wifi cards
Subject description: wl.ko module and modified ssb.ko
Recently l faced the problem of adapting Puppy to two Lenovo s10-2 netbooks. These come equipped with the broadcom 4312 wireless card which up to this point has been incompatible with the standard drivers in Puppy.
After a number of partial solutions as detailed in
BCM4312 and Puppy 4.31
BCM4312 and Puppy431 on Lenovo s10-2 [SOLVED]
tempestuous has compiled a new ssb.ko module for kernel 18.104.22.168 which eliminated the conflicts with wl.ko, the driver for bcm4312. (Thanks tempestuous)
I have replaced the standard ssb.ko in initrd.gz with tempestuous' module, placed wl.ko in pup-431.sfs, removed b43.ko and b43legacy.ko (the old broadcom drivers) and created
It works well on the Lenovo s10-2. If you are in the position of having a broadcom wifi card that doesn't work with Puppy please give it a try and let us know how it works for you.

Had a HD crash. I struggled for 2 days with several live distributions. None really worked very well with my dell 8600 wifi. Saw a suggestion to try puppy. They said it was very good at working with older hardware.
Got it. Fired it up. Then connected to my WIFI with encryption in less than a minute. Rock Solid.
This puppy with the bc43legacy is fantastic. If I hand only known sooner
Thanks Guys

Post subject: Special Puppy431 for Broadcom
Subject description: Works with Acer Aspire AOD150
Thanks jrb!!!
The Puppy431 special ISO works great with my Acer AOD150 internal Broadcom wifi with my Dlink wireless router using WPA2 AES security.
This is the first time I have been able to get the AOD150 internal wifi working with a Puppy release 4.3.1. The added advantage is that version 4.3.1 audio plays to the speakers without other drivers.
I was able to get the wifi to work with earlier versions using ndiswrapper with the Broadcom wifi drivers that came on the XP hard drive, but this did not work with the newer Puppy 4.3.1.

Post subject: Puppy431 Pdvdrsab DVD rip/shrink/author/burn
Subject description: libdvdread.so.3: cannot open shared object file:
I know that most netbooks running the BCM4312 WiFi module (like mine) do not have optical drives, and thus may never use the Pdvdrsab DVD rip/shrink/author/burn application located in the Multimedia menu, but....
I just loaned my Special Puppy431 USB drive out to a friend, who tried to use that app to backup (rip) a DVD his father had sent to him. It would not work, instead groaning with this message:
libdvdread.so.3: cannot open shared object file:...
The error message went on to say something about 'input/output' blah, blah, blah....
I tried to create a symlink in /usr/lib of libdvdread.so.3.0.0, renamed to libdvdread.so.3, but was refused by Puppy. So I google'd the error message and found libdvdread-0.9.7-i486.pet located in this thread:
Puppy431's Pdvdrsab application now works after installing sikpuppy's libdvdread pet. This probably effects the "official" Puppy 4.31 version as well.
For those with more experience, does creating a simple symlink to /usr/lib/libdvdread.so.3.0.0 that is renamed to libdvdread.so.3 correct the error without adding the extra library? If so, how do you correctly create the renamed symlink?

Oops! It looks like I spoke too soon! Read on for details....
The multimedia DVD-ripping tool mentioned in the above post indeed worked after installing the aforementioned .pet -- until the next reboot of my system. Then, the required library link again dissappeared. [NOTE: The library link did NOT dissappear when restarting JWM or restarting the Xserver, only upon rebooting.]
I added yet another pupsave.2fs file to my USB and, when asked which save file to use, chose 'no save file' (the equivalent to puppy pfix=ram).
The library which was missing from my 'saved' Special Puppy431 was there, with the required symlink.
I burned the "official" 4.31 to a CD-RW and checked its /usr/lib/ directory -- the library and symlink are there, too.
So, the cause of my problem appears to be a corrupted save file, not a bug in Puppy Linux. A thousand pardons.....?
My solution was to simply delete my USB puppy-save-file(s), and rebuild them from the important .pets and documents I had earlier backed-up by saving on an external hard-drive.

Post subject: Broadcom WIFI BCM4322
I need some help, please.
I just got my first notebook, HP Mini 5101. It have Broadcom WIFI, BCM4322.
I installed Puppy 431 to USB stick. WIFI does not work.
There is this special Puppy431 for Broadcom 4312.
Will it work with BCM4322?
And finally, can I do something to get my Broadcom to work in my USB-installation?
There are files mentioned, drivers replaced, etc.
Where to get those new files and where to put them?
I ask because I would like to stay with this installation. There are many things installed and I would like to save some time, without installing new Puppy and all applications again.
Maybe I learn something, if I update drivers myself.

Post subject: LAN
I tried this special Puppy.
WIFI works fine but LAN is dead.
Somewhere else in Puppy pages I told, that I tried "XPUD" Linux.
It is a very small distro and more limited than Puppy, but both WIFI and LAN works fine out-of-the-box. Just install and You are connected.
I just want to know, how THEY did it?
Why Puppy can't handle Broadcom if other can?
Are You angry for Broadcom?
I don't accept any explanations that it's Broadcom's fault, because it works fine in XPUD and propably some others too.

Everything in Linux seems to be about solving problems. No one gets paid to solve problems in Puppy, its all done by volunteers. To get Puppy to work on your HP Mini 5101 someone who has one will have to put in the time and energy required to make it work.
You can click on the links in my first post to see some of the process that I went through to get Puppy working on the Lenovo S10-2. Luckily there were other Puppians more technically capable than myself to give me help and advice.
You don't mention what type of LAN connector you have or whether it worked in the Standard Puppy431 or not. This might be a start to getting your problem sorted out.
Good Luck, J

If wi-fi is working, then jrb has done an outstanding job! As for your LAN problem, read on.
I do not have a HP machine available to verify any of what follows, but this
prove helpful....
Google'ing your HP Mini 5101 shows several differing configuration numbers, but most (all that I have researched) show an Integrated Marvel ethernet card.
Searching this entire Puppy Linux forum (instructions in Beginner's section) shows at least one instance of someone using a Sky2 driver for a Marvel connection....
Have you tried loading the Sky2 driver (already included in jrb's .iso) for your hard-wired LAN connection?

Post subject: About LAN
There is a Marvell Yukon Gigabit Ethernet Controller in this HP.
Wifi is 4322.
Well, I installed special Broadcom-Puppy once again into USB-stick.
This time I can see eth0 and eth1. But for some reason soon after that mouse and keyboard didn't response anymore. This could be my fault, I was messing up with my cables.
Then I had to stop my experiments because of Olympic Games in Vancouver!
I've been using Linux Live USB Creator2.4 in Windows XP to create bootable Puppy (from iso-file) to USB-stick.
I know there are also other similar programs to make these USB-Puppies.
Is it ok to use these programs? Or should I burn this Special Broadcom-Puppy to CD, boot with that and then create my USB there? (With that nice utility in Puppy).
Does it make any difference?
I've been using Puppy 431 in my internet PC. It is old, 700MHz processor with 384M RAM. Working just fine. There is no WLAN but wired LAN.
This HP 5101 is my first portable PC. I was not happy because WLAN didn't work. But don't have much experience about WLAN so it explain a bit.
I will continue with puppy this weekend. These small notebooks are really cute. I have 1366 x 768-panel in my version (FU355EA#AK8).
It was a special offer, 289 € here in Finland. There were two batteries included, 4- and 6-cell!

The Impossible Quest for the Most Popular Linux Distro
Feb 8, 2013 5:00 AM PT
Linux lacks any clear-cut system for determining which is the most popular or the best distribution, or which desktop environment is used more than others. That may be one of the major frustrations among Linux developers trying to spread the word about adopting the Linux desktop instead of Microsoft Windows or Apple's OS X.
Linux, like the countless denominations of religions, is a product of technology, ideology and endless options. Unlike its competitors, the Linux OS is not sold. It just is available to those who know about it.
One reason for the apparent uncertainty surrounding Linux is that no single company markets Linux as a product. The open source operating system lacks traditional sales and distribution channels, so there are no warranty or registration numbers to tally. Likewise, no store receipts exist for off-the-shelf purchases of boxed Linux operating systems.
Similarly, little if any tracking of actual computer purchases with a particular Linux distro preinstalled occurs. As a result, potential Linux converts are left to their own initiative in learning about options and usability issues.
"Measuring Linux adoption, especially on the desktop, has always been -- and will likely always be -- a difficult task, due to the lack of empirical data," Jeremy Garcia, founder of LinuxQuestions.org, told LinuxInsider. "While a couple distributions have attempted census-like projects in the past, they typically didn't end up being as useful as originally hoped due to their opt-in nature."
Endless Counting
Many publications claim to track the most popular Linux distro by frequency of downloads each distribution receives month-to-month. This causes the most popular rankings to change frequently.
However, counting downloads is not an accurate indicator of actual use. An alternative method -- counting responses to user surveys -- lacks precision and credibility.
Even a successful census-like project would only give a partial view of the overall Linux ecosystem. The reality is that a single download might be used to install Linux on thousands of machines or on none, Garcia explained. That typically leaves other adoption statistics to be used, such as Web analytics.
"These have historically likely undercounted Linux adoption, perhaps dramatically, and are anecdotal at best," he warned.
Secret Findings
Some Linux distros that "sell" their desktop version using a subscription business model may have a firmer count on the number of active users its brand has. That is the case with Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL).
Since Red Hat is a publicly traded company reporting quarterly financial results, it has a very clear understanding of how many customers it serves and how many subscriptions they are using, according to Mark Coggin, senior director for product marketing at Red Hat.
"While we do not publicly release volume numbers, our consistent growth, revenue and inclusion in the S&P 500 speaks to our rapidly growing base,"Coggin told LinuxInsider.
Red Hat also gleans its market share from technology research and advisory companies. For example, IDC reports market size and vendor share in unit shipments and revenue, then ties those numbers to its tracking of several operating environments, he said.
"We conduct our own market research every year that provides usage estimates for Red Hat Enterprise Linux compared to other commercial and community Linux distributions. These numbers are kept confidential for our own strategic and business planning efforts," explained Coggin.
Download Stats Meaningless
Statistics on how many people download a Linux distro amount to nothing useful. The Fedora Project community sees lots of first-time users connecting with older versions of its well-known Linux desktop trying to update the OS. The Fedora Project is sponsored by Red Hat and is sometimes thought of as a breeding ground for new features in RHEL releases.
"Download numbers by themselves are not representative," Robyn Bergeron, Fedora Project leader, told LinuxInsider. "One download could burn an installation disk that spawns 500 installations. So there is no correlation between download numbers and actual users."
Even counting users who subscribe for paid support gives false results on how popular a distribution is. That only provides a limited number of users.
Knowing that limited number of known support subscribers does little to assess real user numbers. You can not count them as using a particular desktop day-to-day, Bergeron explained.
No Value Added in the Mix
Popularity and download rankings speak to specific markets, typically defined by free users, noted Red Hat's Coggin. Popularity based on downloads is a measure that fails to take into account the value delivered to the customer.
In other words, who uses your product can shout volumes about a Linux distro's stature in the pecking order of most popular desktops.
"We would regard Red Hat Enterprise Linux's use by the New York Stock Exchange for its trading systems -- and at many other stock exchanges -- and by hundreds of other global entities to run their core business as powerful indications of the product's merits and suitability for the enterprise market," Coggin declared.
Another factor is the implied damage that ranking Linux distro popularity does to the concept of a unified professional operating system. Counting downloads or trying to measure popularity harkens back to Linux's hobbyist background in the 1990s through 2000s, Coggin added.
"It trivializes the markets where Linux is now operating," he said.
Too Many Variables
Another fallacy in trying to determine distro rankings is relying on the number of downloads at uncountable outlets for installation disks. The various websites that track Linux usage apply different methods of accumulating their statistics -- and far too many websites offer one or more versions of different OS distributions.
People get installation disks for Linux in such a large variety of ways. The increasing use of virtualization to run one operating system within another makes counting downloads even more inaccurate, noted Fedora's Bergeron.
Then developers factor in differently. Some developers run numerous distros because they are developing applications for different distros. A developer can download one copy and make 10 more, she said.
"So you really don't know an accurate installed user base number," Bergeron concluded.
No Phone Home
Websites and mobile apps are notorious for placing hidden cookies to track user locations, surfing activities and buying habits, but that approach does not exist for operating systems. Web analytics can determine which platform a site visitor uses, but that does not reveal the specific variety or version of the operating system.
A couple of Linux distributions have tried embedding identifiers in the OS coding that would send a user confirmation to the distro developer, but no long-term, large-scale successful projects of this nature exist, said LinuxQuestions.org's Garcia.
That is an area that could infringe on distributions that are freedom-focused. Those communities, including Fedora, tend to shy away from embedding tracking code in Linux distros, Bergeron insisted.
"We cannot embed any tracking features in a desktop. It's not going to phone home with a user tally. I think some people think that approach would be useful. Besides, people do not necessarily want it known what they are using. It becomes a slippery slope," she added.
Distro Watching
Another type of slippery slope is the appearance of usage rankings tracked by various industry watchers. It is not uncommon for product reviewers to refer to one or more of these so-called distro rankings as statements of fact. Perhaps one of the more credible Linux distro ranking sources is DistroWatch.
Is it possible to accurately track real user numbers for Linux distributions? When LinuxInsider posed that question to DistroWatch officials, the answer was to the point: In a word, No.
"There is no way to know. Unless there is a complete break of privacy on the Internet and we are all required to submit data to a central database, we'll never ever know," Ladislav Bodnar, founder and executive editor of DistroWatch.org, told LinuxInsider. "It's as simple as that, and anybody who tries to determine the usage is really just guessing based on various metrics. Some might be more accurate than others, but none of them is perfect or accurate."
LinuxQuestions.org makes no real effort to track Linux distribution usage, according to Garcia, but his website lets users add which distributions they use to their profile -- and he releases general OS statistics for the site once per year.
Range of Metrics
Linux communities and distro developer websites watch the soft statistics for clues on installed user bases. The amount of activity on forums and other factors hold some measure of waning or growing popularity among various Linux distributions. Canonical's Ubuntu developers, for example, use a range of metrics to understand how Ubuntu is used, where its users are, how many there are, and what their overall needs are.
"This ranges from direct numbers such as the number of downloads from the Ubuntu site, through to feedback from OEM partners or subscribers to our Ubuntu Advantage support services," Steve George, vice president of products and communications for Ubuntu, told LinuxInsider.
Ubuntu also monitors input from its community of users through their comments and uses metrics like bug reports and user answers generated on the help forums, he said.
"Our experience is that talking to organizations and people that actually use the software for different use cases is still the best way to get real user insight," offered George.
Business Considerations Count
Does the Linux OS really need an individual distro ranking? Perhaps just for non-enterprise users.
"The download market is important to a small subset of Linux distributors because it is how their business model operates, but these days, it is a pin prick in the overall Linux universe," said Red Hat's Coggin.
Enterprises choose a particular Linux product to meet their essential needs. Part of the value of Linux is that there is a wide choice of distributions. The best choice depends on the planned usage, he suggested. Google uses its own Linux on millions of servers. Companies like Facebook and Amazon are running businesses, not popularity competitions.
Today's enterprises have workloads that demand the high computing power that Linux offers, and as such, Linux adoption is accelerating across the board. As enterprises look toward deployment in the cloud, they turn to Linux for its ability to support next-generation workloads. In fact, eight out of 10 major public clouds are built on Linux. Many of them use Red Hat, according to Coggin.
Deciding Factors
Industry distro usage stats based on downloads represent little more than guessing games. So Linux users have to do the same kind of consumer research they would apply to any product purchase.
That involves reading the descriptions and reviews and then trying out different distributions. After a few trials and errors, users are likely to find a distro that is perfectly compatible with their hardware and comfort level, suggested DistroWatch's Bodnar.
The major factors are going to be the focus of their use and their experience with Linux. Other factors users should consider are the strength of community support, the hardware compatibility, regularity of releases and security updates reliability, offered Ubuntu's George.
One of the great strengths of Linux is that there is not one end-all and be-all distribution. That means most distributions have a fairly specific focus. For some, it's ease of use; for others, it may be security, noted LinuxQuestions.org's Garcia.
All the usual things matter -- price, support, performance, capabilities, security, application availability -- but with different emphases, concluded Coggin. Every distribution offers a particular mix aimed at a specific market and use case.

A Look at Gay Marriage Laws in Arkansas
In declining to put on hold a judge's ruling that overturned Arkansas' constitutional gay marriage ban, the state Supreme Court on Wednesday created some confusion because it offered no direction to county clerks who had pointed to another part of state law that also bans gay marriage. The court simply noted that a lower court judge had not addressed it in his ruling last week.
Pulaski County Circuit Judge Chris Piazza had specifically struck down Arkansas' constitutional amendment 83 of 2004 as well as Act 144 of 1997, which says that marriage is "only between a man and a woman." However, his ruling did not address another section of the law that directs how county clerks issue marriage licenses and specifies that they're not to be issued to same-sex couples. Below is the text of the amendment and the state laws:
Constitutional Amendment 83 of 2004
1. Marriage.
Marriage consists only of the union of one man and one woman.
2. Marital status.
Legal status for unmarried persons which is identical or substantially similar to marital status shall not be valid or recognized in Arkansas, except that the legislature may recognize a common law marriage from another state between a man and a woman.
3. Capacity, rights, obligations, privileges, and immunities.
The legislature has the power to determine the capacity of persons to marry, subject to this amendment, and the legal rights, obligations, privileges, and immunities of marriage.
Act 144 of 1997 (codified at Arkansas Code annotated 9-11-109)
Validity of same-sex marriages.
Marriage shall be only between a man and a woman. A marriage between persons of the same sex is void.
Arkansas Code annotated 9-11-208.
License not issued to persons of the same sex.
(a) (1) (A) It is the public policy of the State of Arkansas to recognize the marital union only of man and woman.
(B) A license shall not be issued to a person to marry another person of the same sex, and no same-sex marriage shall be recognized as entitled to the benefits of marriage.
(2) Marriages between persons of the same sex are prohibited in this state. Any marriage entered into by a person of the same sex, when a marriage license is issued by another state or by a foreign jurisdiction, shall be void in Arkansas, and any contractual or other rights granted by virtue of that license, including its termination, shall be unenforceable in the Arkansas courts.
(3) However, nothing in this section shall prevent an employer from extending benefits to a person who is a domestic partner of an employee.
(b) A license shall not be issued to a person to marry unless and until the female shall attain the age of sixteen (16) years and the male the age of seventeen (17) years and then only by written consent y a parent or guardian until the male shall have attained the age of eighteen (18) years and the female the age of eighteen (18) years.
Arkansas Code annotated 9-11-204.
Issuance of license unlawfully - Penalty.
If any county clerk in this state shall issue any license contrary to the provisions of this act, or to any persons who are declared by law as not entitled to the license, he or she shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction shall be fined in any sum not less than one hundred dollars ($100) nor more than five hundred dollars ($500).

Viacom Fraudulently Claims Ownership Of Indie Filmmakers' YouTube Clips
Viacom is sending bogus copyright ownership claims and illegal posting notices to independent filmmakers posting their own movies on YouTube. These films contain not one iota of Viacom content. Take, for instance, this lovely short animation, "Juxtaposer," made by Joanna Davidovich for her senior project. It's completely her original creation. She has copyrighted it and says that she "only entered into distribution agreements that were nonexclusive." Yet, the media corporation saw fit to have YouTube tell Joanna, "Viacom has claimed some or all audio and visual content in your video."
Joanna is, of course, disputing the claim.
The video is still up, but now Viacom gets access to her video statistics. The worst part is the fear Joanna has that something she slaved and sweat over could be taken away from her. "I'm just a scared that my little film will be lost in the shadow of the hulking monolith…," she wrote on her blog. Also on her blog is a comment by another filmmaker indicating Joanna isn't the only filmmaker Viacom has fraudulently targeted in this manner.
YouTube used to be cool but the site allowing actions like this show how much it's become just another co-opted drek-hole… all because they're too cheap to hire enough people to vet either the uploads or the corporate takedowns.
Below, a screenshot of the creepy and baseless stake-claiming.

Let's get started.
Then you want to cut the rolls in half.
Next, cut up newspaper or any other thin non glossy paper you can find. The newspaper really worked the best, but I also had some brown paper that was used in a package I received. It worked pretty well too. Cut the paper into small strips.
Then layer the strips across the bottom of the toilet paper roll. I also put a strip all the way around the toilet paper roll to secure the pieces across the bottom.
The kids loved helping.
Let them dry overnight.
Once they are dry, you can fill them up with compost or potting soil.
I placed a couple of cilantro seeds in each of mine, then covered them with the compost.
Once your new seedlings are big enough and it is warm enough outside, you can transplant the pots to your garden. Remove the paper bottom before planting to allow the roots more room to grow.

Q: I'm not running my waterfall over the winter. How do I shut it down?
Valerie – Smithsburg, MD
A: You want to shut down your waterfall for the season? You're not alone. When the outdoor temperatures dip, most people don't spend a lot of time lounging outside by their pond enjoying the sound of running water.
Though a pond with ice formations can create a beautiful scene, shutting down your waterfall or stream when it's not in use for the winter is a great way to save some money, prolong the life of your equipment, and prevent ice dams from forming and potentially draining your pond.
Putting your waterfall to bed for the winter can be done in just a couple of hours – or less if you have a helper. Here, we've outlined four simple steps to make the chore easy:
- First, remove the pump from your pond. Store it in a 5-gallon bucket filled with water in a place that will not freeze, like your garage or basement, so the seals do not dry out.
- Next, blow out your tubing with an air compressor. Though most tubing will be OK if water freezes in it, it's still a good idea to blast away all the gunk and debris that could be in there. Don't forget to cap it off to ensure no water or debris enters the tubing.
- If your pump is in a skimmer box, drain the water to slightly below the weir door. You can also place a milk carton or 2-Liter bottle about ¼ filled into the skimmer. This will alleviate some ice pressure on the skimmer walls.
- If you have biological filter media in your waterfall box, spray the filter media off with a hose to remove built-up gunk, and pump the water out of waterfall box and scrub it down. The filter media will be fine stored in the waterfall box for the winter.
Because your waterfall will be turned off and not oxygenating the water for your fish, don't forget to run an aeration system. Airmax® PondAir™ Aeration Kit is ideal for infusing O2 into ponds up to 2,000 gallons; Airmax® KoiAir™ Aeration Kit handles ponds up to 16,000 gallons. Both are energy-efficient and can be run 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Have you ever run your waterfall or stream all winter long? What was your experience?

Second suspect arrested in Lone Star College shooting
Trey Foster found in the Plano area
HOUSTON – The accused gunman in the shooting at Lone Star College's North Harris campus was arrested early Friday. He claims the shooting was self-defense, according to community activist Quanell X.
Trey Foster, 22, was taken into custody without incident by U.S. marshals as part of the Gulf Coast Violent Offenders Task Force in a Plano house north of Dallas-Fort Worth shortly after 1 a.m. He arrived at the Harris County Jail at 6:25 a.m.
Foster was charged with two counts of aggravated assault. Officers confiscated a pistol from Foster during his arrest. Tests will determine if that weapon was the same used in the college shooting.
Harris County sheriff's deputies said a dispute outside the library on the Lone Star College's North Harris campus, 2700 W. W. Thorne Drive near Aldine Westfield, at 12:19 p.m. Tuesday sparked the shooting.
According to court records, Jody Neal, 25, bumped into Foster and they got into an argument. They parted ways, but 30 minutes later Foster, who was with Carlton Berry, 22, saw Neal again and they got into another argument, officials said. Berry told investigators that Foster then fired shots at Neal.
When asked why he got into a fight with Neal, Foster said, "Someone bumped me." He also told reporters that he knew Berry.
"What we had here was idiocy, stupidity," Sheriff Adrian Garcia said. "We had individuals who did not care about putting other people in harm's way. It was a ridiculous, adolescent confrontation that occurred."
At least 10 shots were fired, according to Garcia.
Quanell X said he spoke to Foster after his arrest. He said Foster told him that he didn't want to shoot anybody, but Neal threw a punch at him and he opened fire to defend himself.
"He just wanted me to say he's not some monster," Quanell X said. "He was not going to school looking for a confrontation, not looking for trouble, but he had his weapon on him because he had been shot before."
"He has indicated that he always carries a gun," Garcia said.
Foster has a criminal history. He was convicted of possession of a prohibited weapon. At the time of his arrest, he was also wanted on an evading arrest charge. He was arrested last year and posted bond, but he never went back to court.
"Trey was on my bond for a couple months for resisting arrest," said Linda Traylor of Country Bonding. "I just think he's a kid that mixed up with the wrong crowd."
Quanell X said Foster told him that he had never met Neal before. Sources told KPRC Local 2 that Foster and Neal have police-documented affiliations with the Bloods gang.
Neal suffered gunshot wounds to his abdomen and leg. According to court records, he identified Foster as the shooter.
A maintenance man, Bobby Cliburn, was nearby when the shooting occurred and was wounded in the leg. He was released from a hospital on Wednesday. According to Quanell X, Foster said he was sorry that Cliburn was wounded.
Berry was shot while, investigators said, he put a gun into his back pocket. He was charged with two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. He remained hospitalized and in the custody of Harris County sheriff's deputies on Friday. His bond has been set at $60,000.
According to court documents, Neal said he misidentified Berry as the shooter shortly after the incident. Cliburn also said Berry was the man who shot him. Prosecutors said the charges against Berry will stand.
"They know each other, they were together when it all went down," Garcia said. "We're going to let the legal process sort it out."
Quanell X said Foster told him that Berry did not fire any shots and that Berry did not know he had a gun.
"It's just heartache and pain," said Sharonda Felix, Berry's mother. "I want justice. My son is innocent and I want him released."
Berry has a criminal past, including arrests in 2011 and 2012 for possession of marijuana. He was also arrested for a theft charge in 2009. Foster also has a criminal history that includes charges of resisting arrest and possession of a prohibited weapon.
Garcia also asked anyone with cellphone video of the shooting to turn it over to deputies immediately. At least eight investigators have been dedicated to the case, Garcia said.
A fourth person, a woman, was transported to a hospital after she suffered an anxiety attack. She is expected to be OK.
