Rhubob, as it's known in Maine, isn't something I grew up eating. Our adventurous neighbors--the ones who foraged fiddleheads and pickled things other than cucumbers--offered homemade preserves, but we declined. Too sour, too weird.
Until recently, I was under the mistaken impression that raw rhubarb was poisonous, so I was concerned to see a vendor at the farmers' market chomping down on a stalk. I was afraid to cook with it, believing that, like blowfish, it would kill me if underdone. No need to worry, though: rhubarb leaves are toxic, but uncooked stalks, while incredibly sour, are harmless.
Because there was little else in season and the magenta stalks looked like flamingo celery, I bought a bunch of rhubarb last weekend without a recipe in mind. I made a classic strawberry rhubarb crisp, working loosely out of the gingham Betty Crocker and adapting a topping from the Veganomicon Berry-Coconut Crisp. The results were deliciously sweet and tangy, but because I poured ingredients freestyle and mixed with my bare hands, I can't yet give you an accurate recipe.
Spooning it up with basic vanilla, I couldn't help but wonder, "Why not cut to the chase and put the fruit in the ice cream?" A search brought up only a few strawberry rhubarb ice cream recipes, so I felt terribly innovative. The following is my basic vanilla recipe, with strawberries, rhubarb, and a little extra sugar. I thought it could have used even more sugar, but my husband liked it just the way it was, so I'll leave the sugar to your judgement.
This is soft straight out of the ice cream maker, but after a night in the freezer it's firm enough to scoop. I don't usually post recipes that require expensive niche appliances like an ice cream maker, but as a vegan and an ice cream fiend, I don't know how I'd live without one.
Vegan Strawberry Rhubarb Ice Cream1 cup chopped rhubarb (2 thin stalks)
1 cup thawed strawberries (approximately 1 1/2 cups frozen)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 15-ounce can coconut milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
In a medium pot, bring rhubarb, strawberries, and sugar to a simmer over medium high heat. Reduce heat to medium and simmer, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes, until sugar is dissolved and rhubarb is soft.
Add coconut milk and vanilla extract. Stir until any lumps in the coconut milk are dissolved. Puree if smooth ice cream is desired.
Set aside in refrigerator 2-3 hours, until completely chilled. I know you're impatient and you want your ice cream now, but if you don't let the liquid cool completely, all you'll get is sludge and heartbreak.
Freeze according to your ice cream maker's instructions.
Makes approximately 3 cups.

About Project WILD
- Contents
What is Project WILD?
Project WILD is "Wildlife in Learning Design," a Kindergarten - 12th grade environmental and conservation education program emphasizing awareness, appreciation and understanding of wildlife and natural resources. It can be used by classroom teachers, environmental educators, park and nature center personnel, and youth group leaders. It is interdisciplinary and supplementary and can be used to teach basic skills in science, social studies, language arts, math, art, music and physical education.
TPWD offers Project WILD through hands-on workshops for educators. With an unbiased approach to basic wildlife management practices, Project WILD:
- teaches young people how to think about wildlife, not what to think...
- provides a set of fun, hands-on, easy to use educational activities...
- trains teachers and youth group leaders in an outstanding six-hour, hands on workshop ..
- includes helpful, scientific background information with all activities...
- incorporates powerful techniques and methods for teaching problem solving and decision-making skills, and
- is a program that is kid-tested and teacher-approved!
Why Project WILD?
Human population growth is increasing exponentially. As our planet grows more crowded every day, natural and wild places are rapidly diminishing . . . and so is wildlife. Project WILD explores how people can understand wildlife and habitat and make decisions that use natural resources wisely.
Who can use Project WILD?
- Classroom teachers, environmental educators, park and nature center personnel, Scout, Camp Fire and 4-H leaders, and others who work with young people.
- Activities work well with gifted students and impaired learners as well as mainstream students
- Nature centers, museums, zoos, parks, camps, wildlife refuges and youth groups.
- Project WILD can be used indoors and outdoors.
- Teachers: Project WILD activities develop conceptual skills such as analysis, classification, description, estimation, evaluation, inference, hypothesis formation, and problem solving and are correlated with TEKS and TAKS! Educators also earn SBEC credit.
Project WILD Guides
The core of WILD is its activity guides. The Project WILD guide contains 124 activities concentrating on terrestrial wildlife, habitat and ecological concepts. The Aquatic WILD guide contains 48 activities emphasizing aquatic wildlife and habitats.. Proyecto WILD translates 34 of the most popular WILD activities into Spanish. Science and Civics: Sustaining Wildlife guide, for grades 9-12, has 350 pages of activities and resources. Growing Up WILD is the newest WILD program and is an early childhood education program that builds on children's sense of wonder about nature. Flying WILD emphasizes bird conservation and birding festivals. All are presented in lesson-plan format, which includes objectives, methods of teaching, background information, references available, a list of materials needed, and ways to evaluate learning.
The guides help incorporate wildlife-related concepts into classroom curriculum, and each activity is designed to teach one or more of the following concepts:
- awareness and appreciation of wildlife,
- human values and the wildlife resource,
- habitat and ecological systems,
- wildlife conservation,
- cultural and social interaction with wildlife,
- environmental issues and trends, alternatives and consequences, ecological
- systems and responsible human actions.
Each guide also includes grade level, subject, topic and skill indices as well as a glossary of terms.
How was WILD developed?
Project WILD materials follow a conceptual framework that was developed through a rigorous process to ensure its accuracy, balance and educational validity. The materials were written by classroom teachers and other educators, university faculty, resource agency personnel, representative of private conservation groups and other community representatives. The activities were extensively field tested and evaluated for student achievement and scientifically sound materials. The program continues to be monitored and evaluated with changes made to the materials to respond to educator feedback and incorporate new information.
Who endorses Project WILD?
Project WILD is endorsed by the Texas Education Agency through the Texas Environmental Education Advisory Committee (TEEAC), and the State Board for Educator Certification (SBEC.) Project WILD has earned the endorsement of organizations including the California Board of Education, the National Council for the Social Studies, and the International Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies.
In addition, Project WILD has received numerous awards including the 1984 Conservation Education Award from the Wildlife Society, a 1991 President's Environmental and Conservation Challenge Award for Education and Communications, and recognition from the North American Association for Environmental Education and National Wildlife Federation.

Accumulation by Dispossession?: Loss, Change, and the future of the Melanesian Pacific
The Elusive Concept of "Capacity Building" in International Development
November 25, 8PM, Faculty House
The Melanesian Pacific is a place where we see persistent alternative social relationships that are based on indigenous ontological formations as opposed to liberal notions of the self and others. Many of these social relations are not configured through market exchange. By thinking through the analytic usefulness of "Accumulation by Dispossession" with materials from Melanesia we may shed light on larger questions about personhood, nature, culture and possible global futures. Over the past ten years the analytic abstraction "Accumulation by Dispossession" has become a popular frame in the social sciences for thinking about the loss of land, citizenship, natural resources, and rights as well as the growth of global inequality. This new attention to "Accumulation by Dispossession" as a way to understand social, political, and economic inequality by the discipline of anthropology should cause us to examine its explanatory value and to ask whether its application is driven by our own empirical materials. Over the past twenty years, cultural anthropology has had the tendency to draw conceptual abstractions from other disciplines and apply them, often to the exclusion of other possible forms of explanation, to empirical materials from a global range of places and social configurations. This has tended to have a homogenizing effect on the discipline and a generifying effect on our interpretive and descriptive practice. These talks ask about the usefulness of the analytic abstraction for contemporary anthropology, where it is being used to describe and understand multiple forms of contemporary social and economic inequality. They are based on eighteen years of field-based research on the island of New Guinea.
Paige West is the Tow Professor of Anthropology at Barnard College and Columbia University. She began teaching at Barnard and Columbia in 2001. Since 1997 she has conducted research among indigenous people in Papua New Guinea. The author of four books and many scholarly papers, her broad scholarly interest is the relationship between society and the environment. In 2002 she received the American Anthropological Association's Anthropology and Environment Junior Scholar award for her work, in 2004 she received the American Association of University Women Junior Faculty Fellowship and the American Council of Learned Societies Faculty Fellowship, in 2006 she received the Rockefeller Foundation's Bellagio Fellowship, and in 2007 she was named a Fellow by the Association of Social Anthropology in Oceania. In 2008 she founded the journal Environment and Society: Advances in Research, which is published by Berghahn Books, and for which she serves as editor. Professor West is currently the chair of the Association of Social Anthropology in Oceania and the past president of the Anthropology and Environment Section of the American Anthropological Association. In addition to her academic work, she is the co-founder of the PNG Institute of Biological Research, a small NGO dedicated to building academic opportunities for research in PNG among Papua New Guineans. She is currently on its board of directors. She is also the volunteer anthropologist for the PNG NGO Ailan Awareness (AA), a marine-conservation NGO.

Garold Burke recently completed what will become the new entry way into the Castle Dale cemetery. Burke did the masonry work on the new entry. Burke said he recently started his own company which he named Astound Mammoth Masonry and he's based in Castle Dale.
He does all types of masonry work. He said he hasn't advertised yet, but he's been busy with word of mouth referrals. He worked with a general contractor and decided he wanted to go out on his own and specialize in masonry so he worked and earned his masonry license. He has worked on fireplaces and retaining walls, anything that requires masonry work, he's up to the task.
In working on the new cemetery entry way, he was asked to make it as similar to the rock entryway on the east side. The new west side entry by the Cheddar ball field will become the main entrance to the cemetery. Rest rooms were recently added to Cheddar Field.
So far, Burke is his only employee, but when his brother Randy Burke was in town, Garold didn't hesitate to put him to work helping out with the project.
After Burke's work on the bricks is complete, there will be cement caps placed on top of the pillars he has created. The bricks are configured so two large flower beds are formed which will add color to the cemetery entrance.
Burke calls Castle Dale home now after being raised in the Montezuema Creek area in San Juan County. He and his wife have five children, one in junior high, one in fifth grade, a kindergartener and two little ones. Four boys and one girl make up the Burke family. His wife is Megan Allen from Blanding.
Burke is currently very busy and is working on five jobs all at the same time.
Burke is just getting his business established and encourages anyone in need of masonry work to consider giving him a try. His number is 435-749-9417.

Don't you love it when a baby boomer captures his memories in a book, and they're kind of like your own? That's what Bob Pine has done in his new book Tales of the Smoke Shop. This excerpt makes us nostalgic about what we've lost.
Central Playground was my summer home during the early 1960s. This was before color TV, the Internet, video games, cell phones, computers, Facebook, and all the thingsthat kids do nowadays. Back then, kids would actually get together and play and there was no better place than Central Playground.
Kids had nicknames like Aug Dog, Arab, and Pizza Face. Central Playground was named for the elementary school, Central, and the playground behind it. Every summer, the parks and recreation department would hire some college kids (including my Aunt Ethel) to pass out playground equipment, softballs, basketballs, bats, etc. and supervise the kids ages 5–12. Supervise meant keeping the kids from fighting with each other. My schedule went something like this: Up in the morning around 9:00 a.m. The playground opened around 8:30, but Jerry Thomas, the morning paperboy, who lived across the street, was the only one I knew that was up that early.
Then, I would say good-bye to my mom and hop on my bike that had my baseball glove on the handlebars from the day before. Down the driveway to Adams, a left on Adams to Harriman, another left on Harriman for just a couple hundred feet, and then a right turn onto Wheelock Drive. Once you hit Wheelock, you could coast the rest of the way to Central. But before you got there, you would pass on your left the huge plastic horse that was put there by the Beyers family. When we walked home from school, you could touch it, but you weren't allowed to climb on it.
Then on the right, you would pass Dale Burger's house, then the Spikouskis, and then a left turn into the playground. Park the bike and see who was there! There was usually a tetherball game going on, maybe some plastic horseshoes in the corner, and a game called paddle ball that would occupy most of the blacktop.
Much of the morning was spent waiting for enough kids to play softball. You needed at least six on a side. A pitcher, first baseman, shortstop, third baseman, and two outfielders. Since people were constantly coming and going, it wasn't unusual to have someone leave for lunch and come back thirty minutes later and end up on the other team! The teams would grow from six to ten on a side and back again. It was time to quit when one or both teams lost their players.
Besides the regular games, there were three made-up games that I can still remember. The first was for two people. It involved a wiffleball or bean bag and was a form of stickball. The batter stood by the screened-in window on the ground floor of the building. This was the strike zone. The batter had to protect the ball from hitting the screen or it was a strike. The pitcher tried to hit the screen without the batter hitting the ball. Runs were scored depending on how far the batter hit the ball. The Stedmen twins were the best.
The next one I remember was Home Run Derby. This involved teams and of course a "Home Run Fence." The game got out of hand when betting started, with the winning team getting "Little Toms" from the losing team. Little Toms were a six-ounce soft drink. The other drawback, which made the game unofficially outlawed, was that the "Home Run Fence" was on top of the bus garage. So after every home run someone had to climb up on the garage roof to get the ball.
There was one game that was officially banned from Central Playground. It was called "Hot Ass." Of course, this game was developed by the older boys and went something like this. Someone would hide a belt somewhere on the playground while everyone was around the corner at home base. Once the belt was hidden, the object of the game was to find the belt and start swinging until everyone got back to home base. Fun, huh? But most of the time it was the softball games that made up the summerdays back then.
Once in a while I would go home for lunch, but not often since you could ride your bike down to Bedford and get Popsicles for a nickel. On Tuesdays and Thursdays I would go to the Smoke Shop to check out the new comic books. Then back to Central to see what was going on.
At the end of the day, 6:00 p.m., it was time for dinner and the ride up the hill back home. Tired, hungry, and dirty, I was already thinking about tomorrow down at Central Playground and, of course, the Smoke Shop.

On May 4, 2007, Missouri State University President Michael T. Nietzel appointed the Emergency Response Task Force to review existing campus emergency response policies and procedures, identify areas of potential improvement, and develop a recommended implementation plan, including a timeline and budget.
In the first phase, the task force made recommendations regarding how to prevent, mitigate and respond to incidents of campus violence and threats, both internal and external. The second phase involved a broader review of campus emergency policies and procedures to include: tornadoes and severe weather; fire; bomb threats; and earthquakes.
Several recommendations of the Emergency Response Task Force have been funded and have been or will soon be implemented. More than $300,000 has been allocated during the 2007-08 fiscal year for implementing high-priority components of the plan, including implementing a mass notification system, installing generators for core functions in critical facilities, purchasing additional emergency phones, hiring a security consultant and conducting security training.

Should They Stay or Should They Go?
Cam Davie
June 29 2009 10:10AM
There is growing sentiment in Vancouver that, come July 1st, the Canucks will have signed all-star goalie and captain Roberto Luongo to a long-term contract extension and will let Daniel and Henrik Sedin walk away as unrestricted free agents.
All signs are pointing to both being true.
It's hard to judge yet if Canucks GM Mike Gillis making the right decision to let them walk away. We won't know unless we know the exact details of the contract demands tabled by the Sedins' agent. The rumour is that an offer of 12 years/$63m was put to Gillis, which is turned away without a counter-offer. Gillis has expressed many times how he does not like ultra long-term contracts, so it may be the length of the offer that's scaring Gillis away. Certainly the cap hit of this contract offer would be digestible and is in the target of what Gillis was looking to offer the Sedins.
Quite the opposite is the case with Luongo. Rumours have been circulating that he has agreed to a long-term extension. However, neither length or value have been reported. If these rumours are true, the details will likely be kept under lock and key for two more days.
So with Luongo likely under contract for the long haul, and the Sedins poised to join another team what will Mike Gillis do?
Dany Heatley - an all-world talent for sure, but he's due a $4m contract bonus on July 1st. Also, his character has been questioned since he asked for a trade out of Ottawa.
Marion Gaborik - one of the best players in the league when he's healthy. And that's the problem - he's never healthy. Ever. He's rumoured to have bought a house in Vancouver, sparking speculation that he's set to sign here to play alongside his good friend, Pavol Demitra.
Marion Hossa - along with Gaborik, is a good friend with Demitra. He has a high price tag associated with him. And let's not forget that he's now played on the losing Stanley Cup finalist in back-to-back years.
There are certainly other options, but these are the three big names who have been linked to a move to Vancouver.
Given those options, I have to say that the Sedins' proposal, while longer than Gillis prefers, makes the most sense for the Canucks.
Will Gillis get a deal done with Danny and Hank in the 11th hour? Is Roberto Luongo really staying put for the long term?
We'll know those answers and many more in about 48 hours.
Go Canucks!

No Break-in fuss.
"I ordered these shoes on the whim, because the colors looked really cool. I got a 7.5 which is my Sperry's size. I was worried it wouldn't fit, but to my surprise the first day I wore it, it first perfectly AND I did not have to deal with any heel rubbing/toe crowding. Unlike my Sperry's that need a week or two to break in and adjust my feet to, these shoes DO NOT NEED ANY FORM OF BREAKING IN. Just slip and go, as long as you get the right shoe size."

The point is, government doesnt provide that second response, corporates do. Its not who should provide things, its whats actually available and what would happen if a disaster was to come knocking on your door tomorrow. The government doesn't recognise the need for IT and definitely doesnt understand the uses of it. You just have to look at government websites to see that. Is there a single government podcast? I doubt it. Technology is used far more by corporates. I'd much rather be safe in the knowledge I could contact all my friends and family to tell them I'm alive off a live cd and boot a cluster of computers on donated hardware quickly and easily than wait for the government to make up its mind what to do. I realise the government has a larger plan to consider, but corporate relief efforts count for a lot and the benefits of them are sometimes not realised to the fullest extent as shown by the criticisms here: http://arstechnica.com/guides/tweaks/disaster-livecd.ars
My priority in a disaster would definitely be to let my family know I'm ok to stop them worrying about me and I'm trying to help people do that. If the internet access donated by corporates is a way of doing it, so be it. I'm not criticising the government so much as saying that there is an important need which must be filled and currently could be improved on.

Post subject: response tips / links
The following code (used in the enclosed dotpup)
opens abiword with text documents that might be created by our documentation people - That means you gentle reader!
Eventually we would have a series of fact sheets on using Puppy and disaster response tips / links
Anyone up for creating a page? Do it and send it in.
manual on using Puppy Basic (wxbasicscript)
include "/usr/lib/wxbasicscript/basefunctions.inc"
// Lobster PTTR PuppyBasic script Sat Dec 3 05:44:33 2005
result = xmessage ( "-buttons About_PTTR,Getting_started,Tips,Online_resources,Quick_reference Welcome to PTTR Puppy To The Rescue" )
if result = "About_PTTR" then SHELL ( "abiword About_PTTR.doc" )
if result = "Getting_started" then SHELL ( "abiword Getting_started.doc" )
if result = "Tips" then SHELL ( "abiword Tips.doc" )
if result = "Online_resources" then SHELL ( "abiword Online_resources.doc" )
if result = "Quick_reference" then SHELL ( "abiword Quick_reference.doc" )
Tried putting a loop on this (so the program remains on screen until dismissed) but I am a lousy programmer so quit whilst ahead . . .

Lobster, you can run your programs in Background with "&"
if result = "About_PTTR" then SHELL ( "abiword About_PTTR.doc &" )
Then add an "end" if result is Nothing (the window was closed).
Finally run
shell( command(2))
command(2) is the name of the current script.
include "/usr/lib/wxbasicscript/basefunctions.inc"
//Lobster PTTR PuppyBasic script Sat Dec 3 05:44:33 2005

Lobster, your puppy rescue dotpup has some html pages which aren't available locally. The links arent fully qualified so they are pointing to local html files which dont exist. I think I might modify the video link page so you can see the current version or the cached version of the page, and include all the pages and videos on the cd. Also, Im not sure the link to that page for jabber chat is very helpful. Is it possible to control gaim from the command line? If so we could automatically join the server, or write a basic app to request and pass on credentials to a jabber server.
As a seperate point, are there any DHCP, DNS, proxy, ssh, web filter, Jabber, voip servers available as dotpups?

Just updated PTTR.html to not include the video files. I think a seperate entry would be more helpful for the videos. I rewrote the introduction. Do you think I left anything out?
New pttr.html renamed so I could upload it.

Yep that is possible
- if you mean the video links then each would IMO be best downloaded and stored on the Rescue Puppy as you suggest. If you mean other links then they can be changed easily I hope . . .
Also, Im not sure the link to that page for jabber chat is very helpful.
You mean the IRC wiki link - it does not do jabber - true enough maybe rhino will do a video on that . . .
(if he sees this or someone sends a message . . .)
Is it possible to control gaim from the command line? If so we could automatically join the server, or write a basic app to request and pass on credentials to a jabber server.
A new version of Gaim (version 2 I think) has just come out. I did try to run Gaim from the Command line but was unsuccesful - I agree it must be possible to have the IRC or jabber set up - DSL do this so maybe they would know . . .
and Johnny Rebel is working on a secure version of Gaim which MU has compressed
As a seperate point, are there any DHCP, DNS, proxy, ssh, web filter, Jabber, voip servers available as dotpups?
This I do not remember seeing but GuestToo would probably remember or know . . .

What do you think about having a dotpup which is downloaded by the clients and automatically run? If included on the PTTR menu, single click update of any file on the machine remotely. Instant updating of bookmarks for example, or anything else for that matter.

Sounds good - I would suggest an ajax site that gives the option to access and burn an ISO right from the web . . .
oh well - maybe later . . .
Yes that is a very good idea - there are two commands in Puppy wget and wput (I think the wput is a dotpup) that would help - in fact you only need wget
- but yes the dotpup would bypass that
- if you look in the help section (start /help) there is info on using a multiple click box option with gtkdialogue
The checkbox is a simple widget with a label and a check mark which
can be turned on and off by the user. Checkboxes are made with the
`<checkbox></checkbox>' directive.
The label is the text shown beside the check mark. Every checkbox
should have a label.
The initial state of the checkbox can be set by the
`<default>STATE</default>' directive, where the STATE can be either
`yes' or `no'.

I would have two dotpups, one with all server updates, one with all client updates from standard puppy.
The choice would then be up to the admins whether to use standard dotpups, a new iso with the dotpups integrated or just the .pup files added to the root of a puppy cd. Obviously integrated would be the default choice.
Once they had picked one of these, they could then update the dotpups to the latest versions by the simple click of a button which would go download and install the latest version off the web.
Integrated - lower size, all facilities of St Bernard Puppy available immediately, no user input, cant access full puppy
Download - existing puppy cds can be used, lower download size as latest version downloaded
.pup files on cd - Higher involvement (Mount and navigate to cd, run dotpups) but allows original puppy to be used and allows lower bandwidth usage

As a grass roots movement this Puppy is a fantastic idea. It would allow older technology to be stockpiled for emergency relief. It provides an inexpensive alternative to trying to get modern machinery loaded with expensive commercial operating systems into place. It allows a general call by relief agencies for donations of old, obsolete computer equipment that they know they will be able to get running and connected almost immediately.
I rather like Robs idea of a downloadable Puppy. There is a HUGE difference between techies and users. The primary requirement for end users is "just works". Strangely techies also like "just works" - they can then fix other stuff . . .
When I first used Linux - to just get an on line browser in X windows was quite an achievement. For me the question arose "what is the point?" I have an OS and it works.
In a rescue/emergency situation, ease of use and generic working programs are important. Pizzapup recently commented - he does not have to learn Abiword - it just works. Does it print though?
If Gaim went on line (preconfigured) we would have more IRC users.
Puppy is designed for stand alone machines - that we now are trying to create more network type puppys - all to the good.
To create a viable Rescue Puppy requires this appreciation of flexibility and ease of use.
So yes, Puppy is grass roots because the corps and govs are bloatware.
Did I mention "Puppy is frisky"
So the plan is? As develops . . . all aid is most welcome

Although military comms are reliable, they achieve this by limiting the traffic going through.
Not precisely true. Military comms limit traffic only when necessary to maintain stable connectivity. When conditions allow traffic ramps up considerably. As an example, just about every US camp in Iraq has a "comms tent" for the use of soldiers which allows full video teleconferencing with family members, usually by connecting to a unit level computer room somewhere in a battalion headquarters back in the States. The connection to the unit's stateside hq is not a necessity though; if a family has the technology to support VTC at home the soldier can connect directly to his living room. The home HQ computer room is provided to support families without computers (or without computers good enough to support decent VTC).
The US Army tactical networks do indeed work through ad-hoc networking. Each tank (or personnel carrier, hummer, etc.) is a relay point, and tactical data can "hop" from vehicle to vehicle back to the command and control point, assuming no dedicated relay is in range.
Which is neither here nor there. The political point I was trying to make is that the government, or dedicated relief agencies, COULD provide connectivity if they wanted to. They simply don't want to spend the money (in the case of the government), or don't have the money to spend (in the case of the Red Cross or other agencies more interested in food, shelter, and medicine than in letting people know their family is safe.)
In the absence of a government behaving responsibly (I won't get started on the piss poor management of the Katrina situation which continues to this day), there needs to not only be an emergency OS, there needs to be a way to connect the systems, and a basic ad-hoc network isn't going to work. You're simply not going to get a computer every couple hundred feet to interconnect the network to the nearest access point, which may be many miles away. Case in point, when New Orleans went down the nearest connection for just about anything was in Baton Rouge, which is a pretty good distance.
Please don't take this as condescending, but having lived in Europe I understand that frequently Europeans don't comprehend the distances involved in the United States. Consider that in many cases one of our states is the size of an average European country. Towns are hours apart by car, not minutes. Major cities are even further. Visualize the US as a coalition of 50 seperate countries and you begin to get the idea of the scale involved. And remember we have a LOT of empty space, which might not even be covered by cell phones, let alone any internet access which doesn't involve a modem and a land line.
There has to be a way to connect everything to the internet. The government isn't going to do it. They just don't get it, and they won't pay for it. It is going to take either corporations (heck, Microsoft could completely rebuild New Orleans and barely feel the impact), or it is going to take volunteers going in with the proper hardware to allow an ad-hoc network to extend to an access point. Personally I have high hopes that in the future the new "wireless broadband" providers will step in to fill those gaps.
I am not trying to shoot holes in your idea for St. Bernard. I am merely pointing out that it is only part of the solution. A unified software/OS is a grand idea, but the hardware side needs to be looked at as well.

I like the concept, a couple of things to take into account ...
First of all for something like this I'd recommend a 128Mb build of Puppy, it boots on more hardware and you can be sure it'll load to RAM (although you can be pretty sure others will too).
Secondly I'd recommend a nice firewall/router config tool, so that a network may be set up quickly in situations where maybe you are sharing a modem or something.
Like this one :
(My 1.0.7 mini-cd build will include this along with a few other goodies).
Anyway, it would be pretty easy to create a Puppy that had start menu options along the lines of :
1 - Run as network client.
2 - Run as network server.
If you started a machine as "network server" first, the network clients could look for this server on startup and configure themselves to use it (and any local network services it may be providing).
Other posibilities include getting the live CD to boot all the other machines from one machine over the network (with PXE).
Mmmm ... Do I have time to play with these concepts

John what do you think of a wild grubber puppy (puptrix.org) that had DSL (for hardware recognition) as well as Mean 1.0.7 for this?
Other ideas all seem sound - and "Rescue Puppy" sure sounds good . . . Hope you get involved
Enclosed is the latest code for a PuppyBasic menu (though not sure how to get rid of the first menu part which is the activating part'. . .)
// Lobster Rescue Puppy menu version 2 Sunday Dec 4 005
include "/usr/lib/wxbasicscript/basefunctions.inc"
dialog = "--title 'Rescue Puppy' "&
" --menu 'Program launcher "&
" \n\nWhat Information do you require?' 0 0 10 "&
" 'abiword About_PTTR.doc' 'Introduction to St Bernard Rescue Puppy' "&
" 'abiword Getting_started.doc' 'Using Puppy offline' "&
" 'abiword Online_resources.doc' 'If connected to the internet . . .' "&
" 'abiword Tips.doc' 'Tips on Puppy'"&
" 'abiword Quick_reference.doc' 'Quick Reference'"&
" 'dillo /root/my-documents/code/StBernard/PTTR.html' 'Document with web links'"
result , choice = xdialog ( dialog )
if result = 0 then
shell ( choice & " &" )
xdialog ( "--title 'info' --msgbox 'Goodbye from Rescue Puppy' 0 0" )
end if
PS Did you get Real Basic working in Puppy? I tried without success . . .

Lowest Price Guarantee
The Green Biscuit Training Hockey Puck is the perfect puck for virtually any rough surface: street, driveways, parking lots, etc... The patented 2-piece design absorbs the vibration caused by the rough surfaces and allows the puck to stay flat and glide better than other pucks.
The Green Biscuit Puck allows players to train anywhere, improving their passing and stick handling skills. Aside from normal stick handling, it's a great tool for one-touch passing, toe drags, and saucer passes. The Green Biscuit Training Puck emulates the feel of an ice puck on ice, or a roller puck on tile, making it an incredible training tool for ice, roller, and street hockey players of all levels.
The Green Biscuit Training Puck is designed for passing and stick handling, but may chip if used to shoot on a steel goal. If you're just looking to practice shooting, check out the Green Biscuit Snipe Puck.
- Hard Plastic Training Puck
- 2-piece design helps absorb vibrations
- Keep the puck flat and gliding on rough surfaces
- Glides effortlessly on virtually any hard surface (driveways, streets)
- Feels and acts like a real ice puck
- Makes off ice training convenient and fun
- Designed for passing and stick handling
- (If Shooting it may chip when hitting the post)
Comments: This is great. Except mine chipped after the third shot. Off the post and there is green plastic, flying everywhere! It still works though.
From: Ashley, Wilkes-Barre, PA
Comments: I bought one of these to keep my hands sharp while I recover from surgery due to an injury sustained while playing hockey. The green biscuit feels natural on most surfaces, it even works ok on carpeting. The weight and movement of the puck on the floor is very similar to a puck on ice. This is the closest I will get to playing hockey for 6 months, so its better than nothing. I also bought a smart hockey stick handling training ball and an IW wood stick handling ball. The green biscuit is by far the most realistic. These pucks are worth the money
From: Matt, IL
Comments: This puck is a great puck to train my stickhandling with. I can use it literally everywhere, I've even been using it inside on the
hardwood. I love this puck, if you don't have one, then you're doing something wrong.
From: Larry, GA
Comments: The Green Biscuit Training puck is personally my favorite puck on the market. i use it on every surface for practicing and it holds up great. I've had one for about 3 years and its still working and in good condition. But, remember that this puck is only for stick handling. a couple of months ago i was training and decided that one slapshot wouldnt effect the puck... i took a slapshot and the puck shattered. but for puck handeling i say GET THIS PUCK!!!
From: Sam, SLO, CA
Comments: :The praise for this puck is justified. I particularly like to use it on my condo complex's parking lot, as it glides quite well even
on less than perfect asphalt. I think the 2 piece, floating design of the puck makes it inadvertently (or perhaps intentionally) easier to settle down, if you happen get it rolling. Love the thing, buy one already.
From: Tim, IL
Comments: Best practice stick handling puck period. On the smooth surface in my garage its crazy good. Even doing passes on my street, slightly rougher pavement it still flies. Sometimes we do like 300 foot passes.
From: Mike, WA
Comments: This is a fantastic puck for training puck handling skills and passing. It moves moderately well on rough surfaces and fantastic on smooth asphalt. Even when the puck begins rolling, it is far easier to settle like an ice puck than any roller puck. You can even shoot them, but they are prone to cracking if they hit a post. I would also warn that the puck seems a lot easier to lift, so it may not lend itself to developing a good shot technique. A local pickup group has been using these for games, but it is a costly alternative to the pro puck. We hoped that the Green Biscuit Snipe may offer the best of both worlds, but it is far stickier than this puck.
From: Mike, Sacramento, CA
Comments: Green biscuit is awesome! Thank you ice warehouse for great service and fast shipping.
From: Jason, FL
Comments: I bought the Green Biscuit two months ago, and all I can say is WOW. It's two piece design is perfect because it enables the puck to stay flat on almost any surface. This is the ultimate puck because it glides nice and smooth, just as a regular puck would on ice. This puck is great for practicing toe drags, and saucer passes. I stickhandle with this puck for atleast an hour everyday and it has been just as durable as the day I bought it. I have used a lot of training tools to improve my skills, and this is by far the best one I have found. I highly recommend this product to anyone looking to improve their stickhandleing and passing. I often get asked at the rink, "What is your secret to having such quick hands?" I say, "It's the Green Biscuit, you should go to Icewarehouse and get you one."
From: Blake
Comments: These are great for practicing, they feel like real pucks, and they slide on almost any surface. The only problem I had is I didn't know they were not intended for shooting, so a little piece broke off when I took a hard shot. It still works great though, so overall I'm happy with this. It's definitely worth the money.
From: ??
Comments: Can be used on every surface imaginable. Slides amazingly well. Best training aid off the ice. Says not recommended for shots, but I've found it to be nearly indestructible.
From: Ryan, NC
Comments: This is a great training tool for stick handling. The best aspect is that you can use it almost anywhere. It works great on
asphalt. The dimensions being the same as a regular puck help with feel.
From: Nick
Comments: The green biscuit is amazing. It slides on almost any surface, so I can practice almost anywhere. It's also very durable. I've used it for a long time and it's still in pretty good condition.
From: ??
Comments: One of the best, training device if you do not have access to shooting pads, or anything of the sort. This puck will slide on almost any surface. Concrete asphalt, you name it. I've had this puck for 3 years, and it still is holding up. The only down fall of it would be that it looks like it wears down because of the friction, but thats normal.
From: Peter
Comments: This puck does exactly what it says it does, it is a training puck to practice your stick handling and passing. What I am amazed at is how easily it slides on surfaces that most "street" pucks have a hard time sliding on, I use this puck in my driveway to practice stick handling and it does extremely well, I don't shoot this puck, only stick handling and passing.
From: Joshua
Comments: This thing slides everywhere. Road, rink, cement. It's great to practice with. Highly recommended. Only issue is mine went down my sewer lol!
From: Mark
Comments: Amazing puck for off-ice play however they do break quite easily if you are using them for game play. I play 2-3 times per week with a group of people for about 3-4 hours at a time and we usually go through at least 1 biscuit per week. If they were a bit more durable they would be THE best puck on the market.
From: Kevin
Comments: I own more than a dozen of these things, purchased here and there over the years and after years of abuse from a son with a mean wrist shot but (originally) not so much accuracy, while I had a blistering slap shot....with not so much accuracy....and thus, we've done our share of damage to these things while missing the net, but not the car, the mailbox, and above all else,the curb across the street. Only NOW are they showing signs of extreme use, with some larger chipping, but even THOSE pucks are more of a danger to slicing my nets than to anything else. Even broken, they still float across the asphalt like vulcanized rubber on ice. I shoot a minimum of 150 shots or more per day, using nothing but the Green Biscuits, and even though they say they aren't designed for shooting, here we are, 5 or 6 years later, still firing away, and only now having to replace 2 of the more than a dozen pucks I bought, originally because my son kept losing them in the trees. They also feel great in goal gear, not bouncy like street balls. I play a lot of hockey in the streets and tried a lot of different supposed "roller hockey pucks," but in all my experience there's nothing I'd rather use than a Green Biscuit! I'm glad they're cheaper now, too! $15 a pop was a bit steep, but worth every penny, and even more so today!
From: Tina, Oregon
Comments: This puck is seriously the best puck I've ever used. As a goaltender sometimes I can loose track of where the puck goes but it being lime LIME green really does help. Super easy to spot and follow. And still tough enough to shoot at goal (not recommended because it does chip a little bit after time, but still tough enough to do so). Greatest 10 bucks I've ever spent on a puck, highly recommend you get some
From: Joe M
Comments: The Green Biscuit is the greatest non-ice training aid I've ever used. Seriously.
From: Michael, USA
Comments: This puck is fantastic. Probably the easiest gliding puck on concrete for passing or training I've ever seen. It's nice and heavy, great for stick handling and 1v1 play. As a side note, they say it's not for shooting at all, but I admit I have two of these and have taken hundreds of hard shots at a goalie with pads on, hitting the post more often than I'd like to admit too. It's very durable and I haven't seen any broken chips yet, just make sure you're goaltender buddy realizes it's probably a harder shot than what he's used to during summer play
From: Scott
Comments: One word: AMAZING!!!! I bought three of them 2 years ago thinking that one of them (if not more) was going to break down. Well 2 years later I'll gave the other 2 away because 1) the original one I was using was still going strong and 2) I wanted to show others how amazing these thing are. My only regret is that i wish I would have thought of making this thing!
From: Hockey Dad
Comments:Really great for up commers and it is durable and slides really good I reccomend it to any one who wants to start and plays the game
From: Nicolas
Comments:This puck is incredible. The weight and the balance make it much easier to use and improve your skills. Perfect for passing and improving Stick handling.
From: Taylor
Comments:Handles just like a puck on ice. It's a little lighter than a normal puck. Strong enough to bank off a wall for short passing drills. Works best on slightly rough surfaces that aren't perfectly smooth. Good buy
From: Nathan
Comments:These biscuits kick a$$. That's all.
From: ??
Comments:I love green Green Biscuit simply put. I play mostly on a rough cement surface, where sometimes a ball has trouble gliding if it's to hot out. From the first time I set it down I could tell this was like no other puck. I think since the height is slightly bigger then other roller pucks, I think it makes it easier to practice/improve stickhandling as well as make the transition from roller to ice. A must buy training puck!
From: Joe, PA
Comments:This puck glides amazingly well across rough surfaces. It has great weight and feel to it and handles very well. It has also held up amazingly well to the abuse my son and I have dished out to it. I bought one thinking that if it worked well, I would buy more. This one has held up so well, we don't need to buy another one.
From: Trey, Memphis, TN
Comments:I have been buying stickhandling balls, street hockey pucks, and whatever training items I could find to help for stickhandling and passing. I bought a couple of Green Biscuits in the beginning of the summer based on a recomendation and they are exceeding all expectations. I bought them to practice with my kids (9)(7) and we do everything from keep away, to passing games, toe drags. Both went from having weak passes and struggling to catch hard passes to become very good at both. Our street is rough ashphalt and both kids can pass this puck 75 yards if they have proper heal to toe release. They are great to practice saucer passes as well b/c if the pass is done right way the puck will land perfect and keep going.
From: Chris
Comments:I ordered this for my son who plays roller hockey, and he said it is very similar to the puck he uses in games. It glides well across the driveway, and he was able to use it for practice shots on the net. He said that using this puck makes practicing at home more realistic.
From: ??
Comments:The Green Biscuit is literally the best trainig off ice puck I've ever used. It works on every surface. A must have for improving stickhandeling.
From: Michael, IN, USA
Comments: Ok... I'm just a normal dad. I bought several of these things for my son and I not knowing what to expect. Well all I can say is the green biscuit exceeded expectations!
My son and I routinely go out into the street, in front of our house, and have a catch with this thing. Passing it back and forth usually a good 20 to 30 feet apart. The rougher the surface, the better it works. Im serious when I say its as if we were on the ice.
My son will even pass it to himself buy shooting it to the street curb. It bounces right back to him even if hes stand a good 10 feet away.
It got to the point that we TRIED to break it. We only exceeded after 2 or 3 slapshots (and they had to hit the post).
Anyways great production!!!!
From: Bruce, Philadelphia Pa

New Orleans, La.
New Orleans, the largest city in Louisiana, is located in the southeast part of the state, between the Mississippi River and Lake Ponchartrain. It is coextensive with Orleans Parish.
One of the few cities of the nation that has been under three flags, New Orleans has belonged to Spain, France, and the United States. The French founded it in 1718 and named it in honor of the Duke of Orleans. In 1762, France ceded the city and the territory to Spain. In 1800, the territory was returned to France, but government authorities did not take over until 1803, just 20 days before the region became part of the United States in the Louisiana Purchase.
New Orleans is famous for its French Quarter, with its mixture of French, Spanish, and native architectural styles. The Mardi Gras > a week of carnival held in New Orleans before the beginning of Lent—is the most spectacular festival in the U.S. and is a popular tourist attraction. Despite Hurricane Katrina, the 2006 Mardi Gras was still scheduled to be held.
New Orleans has one of the world's greatest international ports and it is a major focus of the city's economy. New Orleans is home to the corporate offices of oil companies with major offshore operations in the Gulf of Mexico, as well as the distribution and service centers of offshore equipment suppliers and fabricators.
The manufacturing industry is a significant part of the economy, with petroleum, petrochemical, shipbuilding, and aerospace industries all playing a role. The New Orleans region also functions as a mining, processing, and transportation center for other minerals, principally sulfur. Service industries are playing a larger role, with health care and telecommunications leading the way. The New Orleans region is widely regarded as a leading center of medicine and health care in the South.
On Aug. 29, 2005, the Category 4 Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans, flooding the city on Aug. 30 and disabling its pumps. This was followed by the breaching of the levees holding back Lake Pontchartrain, flooding 80% of the city. Federal and local officials were widely criticized for their slow and inadequate response. A year after the disaster, many evacuees had not returned to the city and the city population had dwindled to about half of its pre-Katrina numbers.
Today, New Orleans is making strides on the path toward recovery. Always hospitable, the city has opened its doors extra wide as part of the city's revitalization efforts; Mayor Mitch Landrieu: "We have hosted an unmatched string of major events in the last two years including the BCS Championship, NCAA Final Four and Navy Week, and now we get ready to welcome the world to New Orleans for the world's biggest show"—2013's Super Bowl XLVII—"we couldn't be more excited."

This product is also available in these versions:
Wheels, CD (£11.50)
Of all the '60s instrumental sounds, those coming from Norman Petty's studios in Clovis were among the most influential and best-loved in the genre. Petty is best known as the guiding force behind the career of Buddy Holly & The Crickets but his early '60s recordings of instrumental pop groups brought an equally distinctive sound to rock'n'roll. Ace have already reissued Petty's work with The Fireballs (CDCHD 418) but Wheels gathers together in one bumper compilation 28 tracks of that other fine band The String-A-Longs (all in great sound, taken from the original master tapes). The String-A-Longs sound is made up of those twisting Latin cum Tex-Mex rhythms with three guitars weaving patterns and skating around the melody instead of inside it.Both Skippin' and You Don't Have To Go are released here for the first time but all the hits are included among them Wheels (No 3 in the US charts, No 8 in the UK), Brass Buttons and Should I?, as well as tougher, more bluesy instrumentals like My Babe. A must for all guitar freaks!

"Now that I can be honest, I really wanted to win,'' Williams said. "I wanted it so bad but I didn't want to say it ... It was really important for me to end the year with this title in particular.''
Williams ended the season with a 59-4 record. Since her first-round loss at the French Open, the American is 31-1, winning Wimbledon, the Olympic gold medal and the US Open.
But because she did not play as well at the start of the year following injuries and illness, Williams will have to settle for the No. 3 ranking, despite dominating the tour in the past few months. She finishes behind No. 2 Sharapova and Victoria Azarenka, who ends the year as the top-ranked player in the world despite losing to Sharapova in the semifinals.
"I had such a good year, it was important to end on a good note. It was good for my sanity to win,'' Williams said." I really wanted it, although I didn't need it.''
In 2001 and 2009, Williams also won the elite, year-end tournament that brings together the top eight players in the world.
Williams raced forward to reach a drop shot and put away a passing-shot winner, but the seventh game still went to Sharapova after five deuces. But the American was pumping her fist, and there was no holding her back as Williams closed out the set with an ace - one of 11 she had in the match.
"Today she had another great serving day against me,'' said Sharapova, who never had a break point.
She broke Sharapova's serve to start the second set and was never really threatened again. Williams hit a powerful return on her first match point and had 40 winners, compared to Sharapova's 13.
Williams finished the tournament without dropping a set, and she also beat Azarenka in round-robin play, one of her four wins against the No. 1 this year. The American has won 12 straight against opponents ranked No. 1 or No. 2 and has not lost to a player ranked in the top two since 2007.
"If I'm playing well and doing everything right, it's pretty difficult to beat me, without trying to sound too full of myself,'' Williams said. "And I hate to lose.''
Williams also became the oldest player, at age 31, to win the year-end championships and has seven titles this year.
Shortly after winning Wimbledon two years ago, Williams cut her foot on glass at a restaurant, leading to a series of health problems, including being hospitalized for blood clots in her lungs.
She also injured her ankle at the start of the year in Brisbane, Australia.

About the exhibition
Open 6 December 2013 – 21 April 2014 Canberra only
Gold and the Incas showcases the splendour of ancient cultures of Peru. Art made of gold, silver, precious stones, textiles and ceramics will excite our visitors and provide a new experience at the National Gallery of Australia. More than 200 objects are included, from gold regalia, intricate jewellery and striking vessels to elaborate embroidered and woven cloths. Australian audiences will encounter the aesthetic depth, drama and beauty of the famous Incan empire and its predecessors.
As well as being highly-skilled metalworkers, potters, carvers and weavers, the artisans of Peruvian civilisation incorporated religious and political ideas based on the natural world. Lively depictions of gods, animals, birds and fish decorate the works of art. Technological inventions such as the knotted string quipu provide a new outlook on the sophisticated world of ancient Peru. Chavín, Nazca, Huari and Moche cultures were succeeded by the Chimú, which was overcome by Incan warriors, themselves to be conquered by the Spanish in 1533.
The works of art are lent by the Museo Nacional de Arqueología, Antropología e Historia del Perú and its fraternal collections, the Fundacion Museo Amano, the Museo Larco and the Museo Oro del Perú, as well as the collection of the National Gallery of Australia.
The exhibition marks the 50th anniversary of Australian-Peruvian diplomatic relations, and is organised in co-operation with the Peruvian Ministry of Culture. It is also a key component of Canberra's centenary celebrations in 2013. A major catalogue, consisting of essays, entries, maps and timeline and colour illustrations of each object, will accompany Gold and the Incas: Lost worlds of Peru.

Schedule for Final Exam Week
Fall 2013-2014 - Final Exams Tuesday, December 11 through Monday, December 16
The University follows a full 15-week academic calendar for Terms I and II. During the fifteenth, or final week of the term, every class is expected to meet once for a one-hour and fifty-minute (1 hr., 50 min.) period, whether or not a final examination is given. If no examination is planned, the time is to be used for normal instructional purposes.
Each class will meet in the room assigned for the previous 14 weeks. The day will be one of the days on which the class met during the term, but the time will be different. (These changes are necessary to protect students, as much as possible, from having three examinations on one day or even from having back-to-back examinations.) To determine the day and time for each final class meeting, please read the following:
Final Exam Schedule - Day Classes
Final Exam Schedule - Evening and Weekend College classes
For classes scheduled from 8 a.m. through 3 p.m., Monday through Friday:
For courses having both lecture and recitation periods, the time of the final class meeting is determined from the day and time for the first lecture period of the week. For courses having recitation periods only, the final class meeting is determined from the day and time of the first recitation period.
To determine the day and time for the final meeting of any class, note the day and hour of the first lecture or the first recitation period.
From Section I "Final Class Meeting Times by Code Letters," obtain the final class meeting code letter which has been chosen for the class involved. Then consult Section II "Actual Dates and Times of the Final Class Meeting."
EXAMPLE: PHL 100 SEC. 02 10:00 a.m. MWF
From the basic Schedule, the first meeting in the week is Monday, 10:00 a.m.
From Section I final class code letter is C
From Section II, final class meeting will be Monday, December 16, from 11:00 a.m. to 12:50 p.m.
Instructors should inform all members of their classes of the time and place of the final class meeting as soon as possible.
If a student has been assigned three examinations during the same day of the final week of the term, he/she may ask his/her academic dean for reassignment of an exam. Conflicts involving two scheduled class meetings may also be referred to his/her academic dean for resolution.
Class meeting times during the final week of the term have been determined by the Academic Leadership Team. No allowance is made and no approval is given by the Academic Leadership Team for final examinations prior to the final week. Furthermore, no regular examinations or quizzes are to be assigned during the week prior to the final week.
Instructors wishing time/room changes for the final examinations must obtain approval from the dean of their college/school.

"Total flashback to my youth buying these shoes! And I can't figure out why I stopped. Super comfy and cute. They are not really workout shoes (but if you want to, I'm not gonna stop you) but are perfect for an everyday sneaker. LOVE them!"
