By GARY ARRINGTONSports writer
The Emery High Lady Spartan softball team lost a heartbreaker in their season opener played at Carbon High School. Under miserable playing conditions, Emery allowed 10 runs in the final two innings of the game and lost 13-12.
Emery scored one run in the first inning, two runs in the third inning, three runs in the fourth inning, two more runs in the fifth inning and four runs in the seventh inning but came up just short in this preseason game.
In the first inning, Markette Tanner got on base due to a Dino error and Shelby Mason tripled her home on a 1-2 pitch. The hit was to right center field.
In the third inning, Makia Sherman walked, Tanner again got on base due to an error and McKenzie Grange doubled them both home on a hit to centerfield.
In the fourth inning, Michelle Oliver singled, followed by JoLynn Jennings getting on base due to a Carbon error. Sherman then got walked again and Tanner singled to score a run. Grange then singled to score another run.
In the fourth inning, Oliver singled and then Jennings on a 1-0 pitch, hit a homerun over the centerfield fence for Emery's two runs.
In the seventh inning, Abbie Kay walked and Oliver got hit by a pitch followed by Jennings getting walked. Emery had the bases loaded with the top of the line-up up to bat. Sherman then walked to force in a run. Tanner hit into a fielder's choice to score another run. Grange then singled to score two more runs that closed out the scoring for the game.
Grange led the way in the game with three base hits in five at bats and knocked in five runs. Oliver had two hits in the game and scored three runs. Jennings and Tanner each also scored three runs in the game.
Through five innings, Emery pitching had allowed two base hits and no earned runs. Andy Smith at pitch had seven strikeouts. In the sixth inning, with two outs and the bases loaded, the next five batters got on base and eight Carbon runners eventually scored in the inning.
Emery now will travel to North Sevier this Tuesday and then will play six games this Thursday through Saturday in the St. George area. The team is looking forward to warmer weather.

Awesome For Reversing And Preventing Heat DamageGood product to have in your hair arsenal. I have long hair and i put it on ends after blowdrying and they are instantly softer and more manageable and if i also flat iron my hair the heat makes my ends even more soft and healthy feeling. The smell is amazing and it dosnt make my hair oily at all. It has defiantly made my hair cuts last a bit longer (i need less trimming). I couldn't be more happy with this product and recommend it to everyone i know.

Munster emerged on top in a classic Heineken Cup clash against Saracens at Thomond Park on Saturday with a 15-9 win.
Munster emerged on top in a classic Heineken Cup clash against Saracens at Thomond Park on Saturday with a 15-9 win.
Both sides committed multiple errors in attack as both defences excelled, Saracens struggling to execute at the lineout in one of the most physical encounters witnessed so far this season.
Owen Farrell missed four shots at goal on a bad night for the England fly-half to deprive Saracens of a famous victory, with Munster's win leaving Pool 1 of the Heineken Cup wide open after Racing Métro's victory over Edinburgh.
The physicality of James Coughlan alongside Peter O'Mahony proved to be the difference but Saracens came away from Thomond Park with an important losing bonus point ahead of next weekend's return fixture.
Munster started in ferocious fashion, scrum-half Conor Murray bursting through the Saracens defence but his pass to David Kilcoyne went forward under pressure in front of the posts.
Ronan O'Gara then added the first points of the afternoon in the fourth minute to give Munster an early lead, before Owen Farrell failed to convert his first opportunity of the match, a poor strike seeing the ball come off the pad of the post.
Munster conceded six penalties within the opening 20 minutes as they persistently infringed at the breakdown whilst on the attack to deprive them of valuable scoring opportunities.
A brawl moments later saw both Rhys Gill and Donnacha O'Callaghan sent to the sin-bin as the tension between the two sides boiled over.
A penalty this time against Saracens at the breakdown presented O'Gara with a second opportunity to kick at goal, which he duly took to stretch the lead to 6-0 coming up to 30 minutes gone, both sides returning to 15 men as Gill and O'Callaghan returned.
The visitors struggled to maintain their accuracy at the lineout when in Munster territory, but Saracens won a penalty from a scrum deep in Munster's half for Farrell to kick their first points of the match.
O'Gara responded after Munster won a penalty at the lineout, leaving the scoreline at 9-3 just before half-time.
Saracens were handed an early opportunity to put points on the board at the start of the second half with another Farrell penalty, but the England's fly-half's attempt fell short.
Farrell however was given an immediate opportunity to bounce back and did so from a much easier angle to close the gap to 9-6.
The heavens opened as Munster stole a scrum against the head in the Saracens half and won a penalty kick for O'Gara to increase the lead once more.
Confusion in the Saracens defence after a Munster box kick led to the ball being hacked on by O'Callaghan with Munster winning a scrum on the edge of the Saracens 22, winning another penalty from the resulting attack as Steve Borthwick was warned by referee Pascal Gauzere. O'Gara made no mistake with his shot at goal.
A loose pass however from Conor Murray sent Munster back pedaling with Doug Howlett penalised at the resulting ruck, but Farrell was unable to convert the resulting penalty.
Both defences continued to hold firm forcing the opposition into marginal errors in attack, but a driving maul from Saracens within the Munster 22 resulted in an overlap down the right hand side, only for openside flanker Will Fraser to be bundled into touch inches from the line.
Owen Farrell moving infield to fly-half gave Saracens fresh impetus in attack but Munster continued to force them into errors, with Farrell then missing another penalty kick at goal to leave him with only two attempts from six and keeping Saracens out of losing bonus point range.
A lineout outside the Munster 22 handed Saracens one final chance to get more points on the board and from a penalty at the lineout Farrell was successful with his seventh attempt of the afternoon, leaving the score at 15-9.
The scorers:
For Munster:
Pens: O'Gara 5
Yellow Card: O'Callaghan
For Saracens:
Pens: Farrell 3
Yellow Card: Gill

Lucas started this mezzotint in 1829 (Shirley 1930, p. 161), as one of the earliest plates intended for English Landscape. The mezzotint, however, was not published during Constable's lifetime.
Working under Constable's close supervision Lucas sought to capture the artist's expressive handing of paint. In a letter of 26 February 1830 Constable praised him for making 'the upright windmill quite perfect' (Shirley 1930, p. 25); and Lucas signed a proof 'the first Imp[ression] I printed myself, Paddington March 1830' (ibid., p. 24). Nevertheless he made at least eight progress proof variations before the published state.
In this progress proof the trees on the right reach almost to the top of the image and the highest and lowest mill sails have not been scraped. The woman in the lane faces left and there is only one bird in the sky, centre left.

A first-half try from Iain Balshaw helped Biarritz to a 17-0 Heineken victory over Connacht in horrendous conditions on Friday.
A first-half try from Iain Balshaw helped Biarritz to a 17-0 Heineken victory over Connacht in horrendous conditions at Parc des Sports Aguiléra on Friday.
Connacht were unable to repeat their heroics of a week ago as Biarritz took revenge for last week's loss in Ireland in Pool Three.
The saturated pitch contained pools of water in certain areas but the ground staff cleared enough of it for the fixture to go ahead as scheduled in heavy rain.
Balshaw's try and five points from the boot of Dimitri Yachvili sent the French side into half-time with a comfortable 10-0 lead.
Although there were two yellow cards to the hosts' Benoit August and Thibault Dubarry, a late touchdown from Seremaia Burotu secured the home team's second victory in Europe this season.
The Top 14 outfit were left reeling earlier in the week when president Serge Blanco sacked coaches Jack Isaac and Serge Mihas following their 22-14 defeat to the Pro12 team.
However, it didn't prevent the hosts from imposing themselves on the Irish province here as they dominated the early exchanges.
Yachvili slotted a penalty and decent handling in atrocious conditions sent Takudzwa Ngwenya away, but despite having crossed the whitewash, the American international was adjudged not to have touched down.
3-0 it stayed until the 31st minute when the Biarritz backs defied the rain-sodden evening to score a well-worked try off the back of a scrum.
It was eventually finished off by former England international Balshaw, with their scrum-half converting, to extend the advantage to 10-0 at the break.
The French side continued to have the majority of the chances at the start of the second half, but August's sin-binning allowed Dan Parks an opportunity to reduce the deficit.
However, his kick was well wide. And although Dubarry became the second player for the Top 14 team to be yellow carded, Connacht couldn't force a breakthrough. Biarritz were meandering to victory and put the finishing touches to a good night when Damien Traille latched onto his own kick, taking advantage of a fortuitous bounce to put replacement centre Seremaia Burotu over in the final minute.

Skip to comments.Buried in 844-Page Immigration Bill: Immediate U.S. Entry for Millions
Posted on 05/08/2013 12:51:47 PM PDT by jazusamo
Buried deep in the colossal immigration bill thats floating around Congress is an obscure little section that rewrites the current immigrant visa waiting list to allow millions to cut in front of the line via new categories of family-sponsored immigrants.
As if it werent bad enough that the measure, known as the Schumer-Rubio bill after the New York Democrat and Florida Republican pushing it, already offers 11 million illegal aliens instant amnesty. A nonpartisan group dedicated to researching legal and illegal immigration into the U.S., discovered the provision in the course of dissecting the monstrous legislation, which at last count spans 844 pages.
The groups Director of Policy Studies, a former State Department foreign service officer, found this interesting little tidbit that the mainstream media is unlikely to mention; the bill expands an old visa criteria by adding three new categories of family-sponsored immigrants that will instantaneously be allowed into the U.S. They include single and married adult sons and daughters as well as siblings.
This will allow more than 1.4 million family visa applicants to bypass the current waiting list and be admitted immediately and will permit an additional 2.9 million visa hopefuls to enter the U.S. as temporary visitors. This is outrageous since we all saw what temporary visitors did on 9/11. Its fair to assume that this can only weaken national security, which isnt all that strong to begin with.
This expansion is found in Section 2308 of the legislation, on V Non-immigrant Visas. Originally, the V visa was created to allow the eligible kids and spouses of legal U.S. residents (green card holders) to enter the country if they had been waiting a minimum of three years. The change will reward a much larger group with immediate U.S. entry under a perk intended for children and spouses of those living in the U.S. legally.
Heres another interesting detail; a chunk of the new immigrants can get work permits upon admission and will be processed similarly to immigrant visa applicants, with pro forma fingerprint and medical screenings. Those not entitled to a work permit can still stay in the U.S. up to 60 days a year and its likely many wont leave. Why should they? After all, they have already discovered that following the rules is not rewarded (many have been on the waiting list for several years) and overstaying is a better deal, the immigration research group points out in its analysis.
Earlier in the week another well-known D.C. organization published a report asserting that the pending immigration legislation will cost American taxpayers an astounding $6.3 trillion . Thats because newly legalized immigrants would receive $9.4 trillion in government benefitssuch as Social Security, Medicare, unemployment and workers compensationand services while paying only $3.1 trillion in taxes.
Rubio is a traitor.
Who inserted that provision? They should be exposed, charged with treason, run out of washington, and dropped off as an illegal immigrant to Mexico.
I'd include the whole gang of eight.
I do. The "sleeper" agent is Rubio, though.
Agreed...This is but one reason they want to vote on the bill to see what's in it.
Wow. Just the thing for an era of high unemployment: Increase the unemployment!
What a concept....
Nah, he's not a traitor. That assumes you were loyal in the first place.
He's really just a member of his own ethnic and political nation: the descendants of the Spanish conqueror class.
He simply wants to get as many people of his own nationality (globally known as "hispanics", but let's just call them Spaniards, regardless of their genetic mixing in the Americas) into the United States.
Why? So he can be their Leader.
It's the way it goes in his society.
But not ours, and that's the problem...for him.
He's loyal to them, and not us. And always has been. Everything else he's done is just a necessary bit of theater, designed to allow himself to rise in a hostile, alien society.
Now he figures he can out himself, it's too late to stop him.
Miscalculation. Isn't true.
"Give me. . . the wretched refuse of your teeming shore. . ."
His only possible defense would be that he is a naive dumbass. Either way he is not fit to be a Republican senator. He makes a good RINO senator, though.
Rubio clearly belongs to he wrong party, he lies, misstates the truth and then tells us that the "immigration system is broken!"
Senator Rubio, if the immigration system is broken, who, pray tell broke it!
Certainly not US!
Congress promised to fix it in 1986, hasn't then tells us in 2007 it was broken and they needed to fix it, we refused to go along with them.
Now, it's still broken and they're promising to "fix it" again, all we need to do is believe them again and quit being racist and nativist and demanding all of the lawbreakers go home!!!
As for me, unless all of those millions here, leave, take their underage children with them and go to the back of the line behind those who are trying to immigrate the right way, I'll vote against each and everyone who promises to "fix it" again, no matter what party they belong to or who they are or who is standing behind them, offering them billions in campaign contributions!
The real question is, once the 8 gangstas sneak their amnesty bill through, will Mexico become a ghost town?
Thankfully this will never survive the House, even if it manages to ooze out of the Senate.
I really can't argue with what you say. Totally ethnic empathy overarching all other allegiance.
My, and many many other consevatives' mistake is/was assuming this poser was actually a 'conservative'.
They are all traitors. Everyone inside the belt way is. Regardless of what clothes they wear.
Siblings ... it took more than 10 years for my wife to get two of her siblings here and she was a citizen at the time of application. It took 5 years for the application to be processed and approved and another 5 years to wait for an "available" immigration number based on yearly quotas.
Why am I surprised?
I won't argue with that, either....My feeling is that an American politican ranks below that of a lawyer, union member or a (ugh) journalist.
Yep, it stinks more with each passing day.
I pray you're right about the House. Hopefully more of this treason comes out before voting takes place, it will help insure it doesn't pass.
Deport the "Gang of Eight!"
Ted Kennedy broke it in 1965.
Rubio is going to switch parties after this passes. Watch.
Well, I don't even have a problem with your assessment, given my experience being oppressed by Obama.
I won't even go into my dream of how this is all resolved.
Its all about "the race." I know of two Latino GOP activists that are pushing for this monstrousity and am beginning to wonder if they are not plants. They are backing Rubio big time on this bill, saying the GOP is losing because of their resistance.
Rubio is forever tainted in my book. Give me a real conservative Latino like Ted Cruz and forget this sham. That commerical with him blabbing about how tough this bill is on illegals wants to make me puke.
It's instructive that none of the bill's advocates are aware of its contents. It seems that, as with the HC bill, nobody with a vote has actually read the bloody thing.
I know I've mentioned this before...
but check out the Edict of Caracalla, 212 AD. There's a Wiki entry on it.
The Emperor's motivation to legalize Rome's illegals was the same as present Washington's: $$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Amen to that!
Stop with the racist crap.
"Ethnic identity." Mexicans loathe Cubans. If you got your information from something other than radio or the talking picture box, you'd know this. (Mine comes from 25+ years of marriage to a Cuban.)
You need to get out more.
Otherwise...Rubio's loyalty is to Washington's Master: money.
My wife's family took fifteen years for all to be naturalized, despite the fact that they are political refugees (from Cuba).
My father-in-law still won't talk about the bribes he had to pay on both sides of the border.
and each of those legalized get to bring in extended families too, under existing law!
I've HAD IT with him. Conservative my ass - the guy is as phony as a three dollar bill.
Rubio delivers his lines well. He may actually believe them.
But everybody he's addressing knows damn good and well that the federal government cannot be trusted to administer the "tough conditions" that are mandated by the Gang of Ocho bill.
The moment this bill is approved by Congress, it will be tantamount to opening the border and granting full amnesty to every illegal who can find his way here.
To hell with that!
"Rubio is a traitor."
The alternative explanation is he trusted Schumer and the Democrat Senate staffers to write the bill and didn't verify what they wrote. He is either naive and stupid or a traitor. Like McCain, he is not fit to be President.
Rubio cant know this.
They must have drugged him and slipped it in, or hypnosis.
Republicans always get bamboozled by Dems on stuff like this because they are so good and honest.
Dems are so diabolically tricky. Bush used to get fooled all the time by them, actually both of them.
Only one question, how come Rubio doesnt know this stuff NOW?
Cesar Conda, Marco Rubios Chief of Staff, worked on the editorial advisory board of George Soros magazine
somebody needs to apprise Marco Rubio of this cause he's sure looking like Schmucky's fool.
For anyone interested:
Section 2308 starts on page 313 of the pdf "monstrous legislation" live link in the article.
Thank you. I keep saying this here over and over. There is no one TexMexicans, Chicanos and Puerto Ricans hate more than Cubans who have left the island.
You need to go back and reread my post. You somehow take the words "ethnic allegiance" and call it racist. I don't care if he is Cuban or your wife is Cuban., he is a traitor, period.
"Ethnic allegiance" infers racial exclusivity.
That infers your zeitgeist.
You sound old and badly-read.
"My father-in-law still wont talk about the bribes he had to pay on both sides of the border."
We didn't pay any bribes. We did tip one guy for expedited service even though he wasn't the one who normally did that job. Run through another guy's in-box and put the application on the top of the stack. Heh, heh, heh.
My f-i-l will admit that the biggest bribes involved getting onto...and then off of...the airplane.
Once he was onto free soil...well, the bribing didn't end, but it slowed considerably.

Although the Emery High Lady Spartans took the early lead in their opening game of the 2008 softball season they could not maintain it against the veteran visiting squad from Uintah High. Uintah took the lead in the fifth inning and defeated Emery 15-11. This game was scheduled for Vernal on Wednesday but was transferred to Emery because of field conditions.
Emery opened the game by getting six of the first seven Ute batters out on three ground balls and three fly balls. At bat, Emery would score five runs in the first inning and add another in the second inning to grab a 6-0 lead.
In that first inning, Jalee Jensen opened the game by getting a walk and stealing second base. Keera Allred then flew out to right field. Chelsea Skinner doubled, Leslee Lake singled and then Emery took five walks off the Uintah pitching staff to score five runs. Emery ended the inning with a pop fly and the bases were still loaded.
In the second inning, Skinner singled again, stole second and scored on a ground out by Bailey Kay.
In the third inning, Uintah finally got their potent hitting attack going and scored six runs to tie the ball game at 6-6. Five singles, a triple and then another single gave the Utes their runs. Emery responded in the bottom half of the inning with 4 runs of their own to take the lead back at 10-4.
Whitney Allen singled, Adriane Weihing singled, Jalee Jensen singled, Keera Allred singled, Chelsea Skinner singled again and Leslee Lake singled and Emery had four runs. Skinner got thrown out at home on a Bailey Kay hit and Candace Norton grounded out to end the inning with two runners still on base.
Uintah would then score one run in the fourth inning on two base hits, five runs in the fifth inning on four hits and an Emery error and three runs in the seventh inning on two more hits. Emery would score only once more as the Emery bats went silent.
Emery added a run in the fifth inning as Skinner got on again and scored on a Lake single. Jensen and Allred singled to open the seventh inning but then two pop flys and a strike out ended the game.
Chelsea led Emery with three hits and three runs including Emery's only extra base hit. Leslee also singled three times but only scored once. Jalee and Keera each got two base hits and Jalee also walked twice.
Emery finished the game with 11 runs on 12 base hits. Six different players got those base hits. Emery also received seven walks and struck out six times. Uintah scored 15 runs on 17 base hits but only received two walks and had two strikeouts.
Emery will now play in a St. George tournament this Friday and Saturday. They will play five games over the two days.

Konoha (Tsunade) is trusting on Naruto to take care of Pain when he will attack Konoha.
Personally, I think this is absurd!
Pain, a Ninja who has never lost and beat many great Ninjas such as Jiraya and Hanzo, cannot lose to Naruto who did few days of Sage training and now has (more or less) The same Sage abilities like Jiraya did.
I am not gonna put aside The fact that Jiraya was much better than Naruto in other fields if not ALL The other fields.
I really liked The clone training concept. a good explanation how Naruto can get real strong in a short time.
But this doesn't work here.
Also, Konoha didn't learn any thing about Pain - which could help Naruto.
At The moment I don't see how can Naruto win.

"I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore" is a famous quote from a 20 or 30 year old movie which the American people have been repeating for almost that long. On Tuesday evening, Jan. 19, the voters of Massachusetts translated that quote into action and elected a dark horse, Scott Brown, to office selecting him over the bay state favorite. By Wednesday morning Republican pundits and conservative talking heads were claiming this as a rebuke of the Democratic party and Democrats, left-wing pundits, and Mr. Obama were branding it as a (misplaced) reaction to Bush administration policies and shortcomings . . . they (the business as usual politicians) still don't get it.
The stunning defeat of the Democratic candidate in the bluest of blue states by an underdog Republican was not a rejection of the Democrats, that simply doesn't make sense in a state where Democrats outnumber Republicans by 3.5 to 1 nor was it a response to the failures of George Bush (come on, it's been a year and "that dog don't hunt no more"); what it was, was the rejection of the arrogant, radical, left-wing, anti-Americanism that has high-jacked the American legislative process and the American government and a response to the incompetence, greed, dishonesty, and elitism that has become the hallmark of American legislators, both Democrat and Republican. It was, in short, a good start and, as in the 18th century, our Yankee cousins in New England have pointed the way. It's time for the rest of us to pick up the banner of American exceptionalism from the dust and run with it.
Each election has at least one sound-bite that resonates with the voters. In this election, I believe it was ". . . With all due respect sir, it is the People's seat". This admonition was to the reference of the Congressional seat in play as "Ted Kennedy's seat" and was a needed reminder that public offices are not Democrat nor Republican nor do those offices become the property of long seated politicians but are the sole property of the people who elected the occupants. Every American should adopt and adapt this tag line into "With all due respect, it is the People's government" and emblazon it upon that banner as they confront "business as usual" incumbents this election year. We, as voters, need to make it clear that we will no longer return incumbents to office based on party loyalties nor on the empty promise of "We get it and we'll change"; we've fallen for that line too many times in the past only to wake up the morning after an election to discover that nothing has changed. We need to emphatically state to incumbents beginning today that they have from today to the November elections to demonstrate that they ". . . get it" and have implemented change and that change is the change that we wanted; they had better not guess what that change is but rather get it directly from us because if they get it wrong this time they'll be needing to find a new job come the morning after these elections.

Skip to comments.Say Hello To Linux 3.0
Posted on 05/30/2011 10:08:42 AM PDT by zeugma
.. except there are various scripts that really know that there are three numbers, so it calls itself "3.0.0-rc1".
Hopefully by the time the final 3.0 is out, we'll have that extra zero all figured out.
Yay! Let the bikeshed painting discussions about version numbering begin (or at least re-start).
I decided to just bite the bullet, and call the next version 3.0. It will get released close enough to the 20-year mark, which is excuse enough for me, although honestly, the real reason is just that I can no longer comfortably count as high as 40.
The whole renumbering was discussed at last years Kernel Summit, and there was a plan to take it up this year too. But let's face it - what's the point of being in charge if you can't pick the bike shed color without holding a referendum on it? So I'm just going all alpha-male, and just renumbering it. You'll like it.
Now, my alpha-maleness sadly does not actually extend to all the scripts and Makefile rules, so the kernel is fighting back, and is calling itself 3.0.0-rc1. We'll have the usual 6-7 weeks to wrestle it into submission, and get scripts etc cleaned up, and the final release should be just "3.0". The -stable team can use the third number for their versioning.
So what are the big changes?
NOTHING. Absolutely nothing. Sure, we have the usual two thirds driver changes, and a lot of random fixes, but the point is that 3.0 is *just* about renumbering, we are very much *not* doing a KDE-4 or a Gnome-3 here. No breakage, no special scary new features, nothing at all like that. We've been doing time-based releases for many years now, this is in no way about features. If you want an excuse for the renumbering, you really should look at the time-based one ("20 years") instead.
So no ABI changes, no API changes, no magical new features - just steady plodding progress. In addition to the driver changes (and the bulk really is driver updates), we've had some nice VFS cleanups, various VM fixes, some nice initial ARM consolidation (yay!) and in general this is supposed to be a fairly normal release cycle. The merge window was a few days shorter than usual, but if that ends up meaning a smaller release and a nice stable 3.0 release, that is all
good. There's absolutely no reason to aim for the traditional ".0" problems that so many projects have.
In fact, I think that in addition to the shorter merge window, I'm also considering make this one of my "Linus is being a difficult ^&^hole" releases, where I really want to be pretty strict about what I pull during the stabilization window. Part of that is that I'm going to be travelling next week with a slow atom laptop, so you had better convince me I *really* want to pull from you, because that thing really is not the most impressive piece of hardware ever built. It does the "git" workflow quite well, but let's just say that compiling the kernel is not quite the user experience I've gotten used to.
So be nice to me, and send me only really important fixes. And let's make sure we really make the next release not just an all new shiny number, but a good kernel too.
Go forth and test,
3.0 is apparently not going to be a major change. Seems like we're moving from 2.6.x to 3.0.0 pretty much just because Linus wants to. I'm fine with it, given that there really has been a lot of change in the Linux kernel in the years since the 2.6 series started. There's also an article at Slashdot (of course). Some of the comments are even funny.
Mods, feel free to move to blogs or whatever if you want.
I hate to post and run, but I'm about to hop on my Sportster and blow through a few tanks of gas this beautiful memorial day. God bless our soldiers, past, present, and future.
Please don't use the term "Nerd". The word "Geek" is far more complementary.
Just updated two Dell laptops from Fedora 14 to Fedora 15. The Dell 820
has the Broadcom BCM4312 based wireless mini_PCI...fails. The
Dell D630 has the IntelPRO card...no problem. Not thrilled with the
Gnome 3.0 change. The D820 has to run crippled with an external
Ethernet to 802.11b/g gaming adapter until I can fix the wireless drivers.
The switch to the 3.0 kernel numbering will impact folks who carefully
script installs against kernel version. Another time burner for no net
gain in features.

I just turned on my Dell w/Windows 7 and it worked. No time burned ;-).
Don't wanna hafta upgrade my Ubuntu 10.4 LTS! DON'T WANNA!
< /drama >
But seriesly, the one tip I've found for dramatically speeding up Ubuntu's (and probably other Linux distros') performance was to reduce "swappiness" from the default 60 to 10
The least he could have done is put the new KDE-4 or Gnome-3 face on it.
A new version should offer the user at least something different.
You're talking applications. They kernel is code that all the applications run on.
Thanks for the updater.
I still use windows primarily, but I fire up any of my several Linux live CDs on a regular basis to perform certain
They are like handy little swiss pocket knives. I have Kaspersky Antivirus in a Linux bootable CD. It goes out and
updates the virus signaures too, before it scans.
It has saved me from rootkits a few times.
I can assure you that I've wasted many more hours helping people with Win 7 problems. Definitely a time burner. The D820 isn't even supported by Dell for Win 7.
I'm running a newish Dell and I have had zero hours OS-related down time (a hard drive crapped out, though), although I do little more than surf/email/upload/download music
I've found a distro I really like: CrunchBang. I've ran it from a USB flash drive and I'm pretty happy with the responsiveness of Openbox.
But, I have a netbook with no optical drive. I can't figure out how to partition and install from the USB drive.
I have "Windows 7 Starter" with the hard drive not partitioned. I'd like to partition the drive and install CrunchBang on the other partition.
Can this even be done if I don't have an optical drive? I'd love any suggestions at this point.
I take huge offense being called a geek. I do NOT bite chicken heads off! nerd is the much preferred term.
Yes, I understand that.
Please correct me if I'm wrong (I'm still new to Linux), but isn't KDE and Gnome simply the interface layer? In other words the desktop atmosphere, etc.?
As far as the kernel, it sounds like he only made driver upgrades and a few other tweaks.
Nice post.
You want to install from USB.
IT's easy if your laptop will boot from USB through BIOS. And it's faster than using a DVD due to better transfer speeds.
It's not impossible if the laptop won't boot from USB from BIOS, but somewhat difficult.
Depends on the manufacturer and motherboard, most modern PCs and laptops without an optical drive will boot from USB.
try the link above, freepmail me if you run into issues.
Re: names: "Nerd", "geek", whatever. I do computers, deal with it. :)
I expect the Golden Eagle to emerge any minute, squawking to remind us that Torvalds' parents were communists or whatever and that this has something to do with an operating system.
Either one works for me. I've been a nerd pretty much all my life, since even before there was such a thing as home computers.
Yeah, broadcom wireless sucks. You'll probably have to use the bcm wadcutter tool. It's a pain. I no longer buy any hardware that's not fully supported. I don't giving money to folks who don't support Linux.
As for the 'swappiness' issue, my solution is to have so much ram that it's oozing out the back of the PC. My system almost never touches swap.
Sometimes it's the only way to save data from a windows box without physically pulling the hard drive.We had a guy at work a while back, who's laptop was well and truely toasted. Wouldn't boot 'safe mode', or from media. It looked like he was going to lose a lot of stuff until we popped in a live Linux CD, and was able to scp all his data to another box.
Thanks. What's really nice is that the trolls haven't destroyed it. (yet)
The least he could have done is put the new KDE-4 or Gnome-3 face on it.
You're talking applications. They kernel is code that all the applications run on.
I'll personally take either/or. Guess I'm weird like that.this, something's wrong with your ears.
Or you can get raw with these strings. Either way, the violin is sweet yet lethal.
Do it!
Doesn't matter what the name on the check says...geek...nerd...dweeb..the bank still takes it.
Good to see ya rdb. Hope all is well.
I kept running into a problem when I tried to run any distro based on Ubuntu 11.04 . That link points out a specific problem with the SanDisk flash drive I was using and how to fix it. I couldn't get 11.04 LXDE to start before but now I'll give it another try.
I didn't have any problem getting #! to boot off the flash drive. What I couldn't figure out was more related to how I would install the distro on the netbook's hard drive in a more permanent fashion.
I was thinking I had to boot up with a disk utility to partition the drive for the linux install so as to not lose any Windows system files/user data.
But after some research it looks like I can adjust the partitioning from within Windows without data loss. I just need to figure out what format to use for the new partition and I should be set.
I don't even have a swap partition. :-)
But I had to do that once I moved away from hard drives. I wouldn't give up my SSDs for anything!

"I purchased these 2 weeks ago and am online to buy another pair. The muted gold tone is interesting without being flashy and doesn't look like that weird low-end suede with bizarre glitter flecks you see. The gold is subtle enough to be office-appropriate as well.

By CHARMAINE SHARPCastle Dale
Dear Editor,
I am writing this letter in response to two excellent (though opposing) articles on polygamy published in the Sun Advocate on June 6. The fruits of polygamy can best be measured by polygamy's effect on the first Mormon family who practiced it: Joseph and Emma Smith. Plural marriage (as Joseph called it) was devastating to his first wife Emma. Though Joseph in speeches and church publications continually denied the doctrine and practice of plural marriage, Emma strongly suspected her husband of practicing it and she enlisted support from other anti-polygamy women to spy on him.
In February of 1843 Emma became aware that Joseph had taken her best friend, Eliza R. Snow, as a plural wife. Emma became so enraged that she pushed Eliza down the stairs at their home with a broomstick causing Eliza to have a miscarriage. Now the cat was out of the bag and it became Joseph's top priority to convince Emma she should accept polygamy. In official LDS history, on the morning of the July 12, 1843 Hyrum (Joseph's brother) said to Joseph, "If you will write the revelation on celestial marriage, I will take it and read it to Emma, and I believe I can convince her of its truth, and you will hereafter have peace." Joseph smiled and remarked, "You do not know Emma as well as I do.". . . Hyrum then took the revelation to read to Emma. . . . When he came back, Joseph asked how he had succeeded. Hyrum replied that he had never received a more severe talking to in his life. After the revelation was written Emma teased, and urgently entreated Joseph for the privilege of destroying the revelation. Joseph became so weary of her teasing and to get rid of her annoyance, he told her she might destroy it and she did so. Of course Joseph knew he could "re-write it at any time." (History of the Church, introduction to vol. 5).
Later after Joseph promised Emma she would be a queen and a priestess if she accepted plural marriage Emma briefly accepted plural marriage. Temple records, church history and the personal journals of the women involved show that nine of Joseph's first 12 wives were women then currently married to other men and reassigned to Joseph. Emma battled her feelings that plural marriage was an evil practice and even though she consented to Joseph's marriages, Emily Partridge (one of Joseph's wives) wrote in her journal: "from the very hour we were married to Joseph, Emma became our bitter enemy."
Official LDS history shows that Joseph Smith as mayor of Nauvoo ordered the destruction of the Nauvoo Expositor (a newspaper that was making public, the secret-sacred plural marriage life of Joseph Smith). Joseph and his brother Hyrum were arrested on charge of treason (of course freedom of the press was/is a Constitutionally protected right) and taken to Carthage jail (History of the Church, vol. 6, p.38). Joseph's plural marriages and what many considered a treasonous act of destroying a free press had so angered the people that a mob formed at the jail and Joseph and Hyrum were killed in what can best be described as a gun fight in which Joseph Smith killed two men. Official LDS history records that when the mob approached the door to the room where Joseph and Hyrum were being held, Joseph; "approached the door, and pulling the six-shooter left by Brother Whellock from his pocket, opened the door slightly, and snapped the pistol six successive times, only three of the barrels, however, were discharged. Two or three (mobsters) were wounded by these discharges, two of whom died." (History of the Church, vol. 7, pp.102-3).
Emma later wrote, "it was the secret doctrines that got Joseph and Hyrum killed." Emma left the church after Joseph's death and claimed the authority of the church rested in her son, whom she used to start a new church called "The Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints." Obviously this church left out the practice of plural marriage and most of the other secret/sacred doctrines of Mormonism. I know this doesn't sound much like the romance fiction novels/movies now being published about the Joseph Smith era. But it's time for someone to throw some light on the true origins and nature of polygamy and its disastrous consequences.

Protect yourself from the credit crunchBy Jason Alderman
As the economy continues to falter, many people find themselves trapped in financial limbo: unable to cover their bills (such as adjustable rate mortgages) and not qualified for more favorable interest rates that could help because of lenders' tightening credit standards. Compare that to a few years ago, when just about anyone could secure a mortgage or car loan.
Maintaining a strong credit score has become more important than ever, since anything less could greatly increase interest rates you pay – or even prevent you from obtaining credit in the first place. It could even impact your ability to rent an apartment or purchase a car.
Here are a few tips for strengthening your credit score:
Understand how credit scores work. The three major credit bureaus (Equifax, Experian and TransUnion) track your credit history and activity and use that information to create a three–digit credit score – commonly referred to as a FICO score, after Fair Isaac Corporation (FICO), which developed the proprietary software.
Your FICO score is determined by such factors as your on–time payment record, overall debt amount, credit history duration, ratio of debt to available credit, number of accounts and types of credit used (credit cards, auto loans, mortgages, etc.) Creditors use your score to determine the level of risk involved in lending money to you and set credit limits and interest rates accordingly.
Warning flags that might lower your credit score include:
- Late or insufficient payments for credit cards, loans, utilities and other bills.
- Too many accounts. Think twice before opening unneeded new accounts.
- Maintaining high individual account balances and making frequent balance transfers.
- Closing old accounts. Closing older, unused accounts can backfire because your available credit amount is lowered, thereby increasing your "credit utilization ratio" – the portion of your available credit limit you're actually using.
- Not using existing accounts. Many financial experts recommend occasionally using all open accounts to keep them active (paying off balances right away, of course).
- Unpaid fines or penalties. However miniscule, unpaid library fines, traffic tickets and other civic penalties could show up on your credit report.
Here are several actions that can establish or improve your credit:
- Always pay – on time – at least the minimum due on all bills. Consider signing up for automatic payments if this is a recurring problem.
- Although using lower interest–rate accounts makes sense, don't overburden any particular card or use more than 30 percent of the available credit.
- Open a secured credit card, which is backed by a deposit account you open with the issuing financial institution. Often, you can convert a secured card to an unsecured (regular) card after you've made several on–time payments.
- Carefully review your credit reports. You can order one free credit report a year from each of the three bureaus at www.annualcreditreport.com. Look for errors, omissions and fraudulent activities that could lower your score.
- Consult a financial professional to help resolve your particular situation.
You can purchase copies of your credit scores from each of the three credit bureaus for about $15 each at their websites (www.equifax.com, www.experian.com and www.transunion.com).
Or, if you'd rather just estimate your score, use the free FICO Score Estimator at What's My Score, a financial literacy program run by Visa Inc. (www.whatsmyscore.org/estimator.) The site also features tips on repairing damaged or unestablished credit scores.
Don't let a poor credit score ruin your chances for future financial security.

Oxnard House Fire Displaces 7, Kills Dog
An Oxnard family is salvaging what is left of their home after an early-morning house fire. The fire started just before 1 a.m. Friday in the garage of a home on the 2000 block of Walden Street.
Firefighters arrived to the scene within minutes, and quickly knocked out the flames and made sure the family that lived at the home was OK.
"There were seven people inside the home at the time of the fire. No injuries to the family. However there were two dogs in the home one of them was found under a bed. It had passed away of smoke inhalation. There were efforts made to resuscitate the animal, unfortunately they could not resuscitate the animal," said Oxnard Fire Battalion Chief Sergio Martinez.
Fire investigators say the fire was caused by an electrical malfunction in the garage.
The entire garage was gutted and the home suffered moderate smoke damage. The damage is estimated at $175,000.
The family is now staying at a local hotel courtesy of the American Red Cross.23876288
