It is known for being the first to bring new browsing features to the world that have become common on all web browsers, such as tabbed browsing and built-in search.
Opera continues to innovate with its integrated mail client, one-click bookmarking, tab stacks (a way of organizing your tabs) and very good support for HTML5 features.

Opera can be installed with the package opera, available in the official repositories.
Development versions can be found in the AUR:
- opera-betaAUR - a beta release version.
- opera-nextAUR - an alpha/development version.
Opera can use Netscape-based plugins that are supported by most major browsers, like Firefox and Chromium. For details about different plugins and installation instructions see Browser Plugins. In Opera, the plugin path can be specified under Settings > Preferences... > Advanced > Content > Plug-in Options.
Adobe Flash
Java Support
Install Adblock support using the opera-adblock-completeAUR package from the AUR.
Performance tweaks
Although Opera is quite fast on modern hardware, it can be tweaked even more. For further examples, see the Opera wiki page on performance.
Disabling features and services
One of the keys to maximizing application performance is to disable undesired features and services through the native opera:config Preferences Editor.
Some commonly disabled features are:
- Systray Icon: uncheck Show Tray Icon under opera:config#UserPrefs.
- BitTorrent: uncheck Enable under opera:config#BitTorrent.
- Geolocation: uncheck Enable geolocation under opera:config#Geolocation.
- Multimedia: unckeck desired options under opera:config#Multimedia.
- Web Server: uncheck Enable under opera:config#Web Server.
To more easily find these options just write the respective path (without spaces) in the address bar, for example
opera:config#UserPrefs|ShowTrayIcon or use the build-in search.
Disable the e-mail client
Additional command-line options are available for further control over browser features and services. To start Opera without the default internal e-mail client:
$ opera -nomail
Alternatively, if you want to permanently disable the internal e-mail client you can uncheck the Show E-mail Client option under opera:config#UserPrefs.
Disable ARGB, LIRC and mailto links
To start Opera without ARGB (32-bit) visuals, LIRC infrared control support and with
mailto: links disabled:
$ opera -noargb -nolirc -nomaillinks
Improving Flash performance
To improve Flash performance you can set the following environment variables before starting Opera, or export the entries in xinitrc, or ~/.bash_profile, or for system-wide changes, to
Another environment variable which may help resolve Flash issues:
See the blog article Flash problems on Linux? for additional details.
.xinitrc example
... export OPERAPLUGINWRAPPER_PRIORITY=0 export OPERA_KEEP_BLOCKED_PLUGIN=0 ...
Command-line example
To use the variables from the command line call Opera as:
$ OPERAPLUGINWRAPPER_PRIORITY=0 OPERA_KEEP_BLOCKED_PLUGIN=1 opera &
Profile in tmpfs
Relocate the browser profile to a tmpfs filesystem, including
/tmp for improvements in application response as the entire profile is now stored in RAM. Another benefit is a reduction in disk read and write operations, of which SSDs benefit the most.
There are currently two ways of doing this:
- using Profile-sync-daemon, that automatically detects and relocates the Opera profile to tmpfs.
- using the
-pdcommand-line flag to tell Opera where to store its profile data:
$ opera -pd /tmp/opera
Although Opera is cross-platform, it can be made to integrate very well into various Linux desktop environments.
- Qt
- To make the menus look integrated with Qt, install your preferred Qt theme and apply it by using
- To make Opera use KDE icons, you can install a theme such as this one.
- A nice GTK+ skin that uses the Tango icon theme can be found here.
Tab modes
Opera has native support for tab cascading and tiling mode. Appropriate buttons can be found by activating the "Main" toolbar or by dragging and dropping the buttons anywhere desired, found in Menu > Appearance > Buttons > Browser.
Fonts can be configured under Settings > Preferences... > Advanced > Fonts.
If the ttf-ms-fontsAUR package has been installed before running Opera for the first time, Opera will use those fonts by default, regardless of what is specified by local GTK+ options, GNOME or KDE font management. To force existing installations of Opera to use the options set by your system:
- Close all running instances of Opera.
- Un-install the ttf-ms-fontsAUR package.
- Move the existing profile folder:
mv -i ~/.opera ~/.opera.bak
- Run an instance of Opera and verify that your font manager settings have been applied.
- Restore bookmarks and desired filter files from
~/.operaexcept for the
- Re-install the ttf-ms-fontsAUR package, if desired.
Private tabs
To browse without leaving obvious traces of the Web sites you visit, you can use a private tab. When you close a private tab, the following data related to the tab is deleted:
- Cache
- Cookies
- History
- Logins
This is similar to the --incognito option in Chrome/Chromium and PrivateBrowsing in Firefox.
To open a private tab from the command-line use:
$ opera -newprivatetab
To ensure only private tabs are used throughout the duration of the browsing session:
- Set Settings > Preferences... > General > Startup > Start without open tabs.
- Clear any entries in Settings > Preferences... > General > Home page option.
- Enable Settings > Preferences... > Advanced > Tabs > Additional tab options... > Allow windows with no tabs.
To open a new window for private browsing when already running Opera you can just press Template:Keypress or look under Menu > New Tabs and Windows > New Private Window. All subsequent opened tabs with be private as well.
Accessibility Tips
Disable text selection
Grab and scroll mode
Besides setting text selection off, grab and scroll mode makes page scrolling possible with mouse dragging. It is very useful, especially when you have a touchscreen. Copy and paste the link bellow to get to the mentioned setting.
It is also possible to change this setting on the fly by dragging and dropping the appropriate Opera button into a toolbar. The button can be found in Menu > Appearance > Buttons > Browser View.
Long pressing a link opens it in a background tab (extension)
It is possible to open up any long-clicked link in a new background tab by installing this extension.
Virtual On-Screen keyboard (extension)
There is an extension which allows the use of an on-screen virtual keyboard. Further details and installation link can be found here.
Slow scrolling on NVIDIA cards
Try running the following command:
$ nvidia-settings -a InitialPixmapPlacement=2
On some computers, http://helion.pl works extremely slow without this hack, making it a perfect site for testing.
Horizontal mouse wheel scrolling
Check Settings > Preferences... > Advanced > Shortcuts > Mouse > Middle-Click Options... > Enable horizontal panning.
- Highlight Settings > Preferences... > Advanced > Shortcuts > Mouse > Opera Standard.
- Duplicate Settings > Preferences... > Advanced > Shortcuts > Mouse > Opera Standard.
- Edit... Settings > Preferences... > Advanced > Shortcuts > Mouse > Copy of Opera Standard.
- Search the
Backinput contexts and edit the appropriate button shortcuts to
scroll leftand
scroll right.
- Rename Settings > Preferences... > Advanced > Shortcuts > Mouse > Copy of Opera Standard as desired.
Launching an external browser
If Opera does not display a site well, a workaround is to launch the currently displayed page in an external browser.
Open With menu accessed via the right mouse button.
- Set the following line under
[Site Navigation Toolbar.content]in
Button0, "Chromium"="Execute program, "chromium, "%u", , "Chromium""
- If Firefox is desired, or preferred:
Button0, "Firefox"="Execute program, "firefox", "%u", , "Firefox""
- Any number of command-line options may be included in the string:
Button0, "Chromium"="Execute program, "chromium --block-nonsandboxed-plugins --disable-java --incognito --safe-plugins --start-maximized --user-data-dir=/tmp/.chromium", "%u", , "Chromium""
Opera crashes when starting or closing with GTK+ 2.24.7+
If this crash occurs, you can work around it by changing the DialogToolkit option to 4:
This will disable GTK+ styling support and hence avoid the issue.

Saturday's game in South Bend between Notre Dame (9-0) and the Pittsburgh Panthers played out for the home team like a novel entitled "Tale of Two Notre Dames".
The first lines could have read "It was the best of Notre Dame. It was the worst of Notre Dame." Lucky for the Fighting Irish faithful this story ended with a happy 29-26 triple overtime victory, keeping its unbeaten streak alive.
The Panthers seemingly switched uniforms with the Fighting Irish at the start of the game. It was Pittsburgh's RB Ray Graham (24 carries, 172 yards, 1 TD) rushing for 77 yards and a 13-yard touchdown to give Pitt an early 10-6 second quarter lead.
Coincidentally a player with the last name of Holz, Freshman Panthers TE J.P. Holz (54 yards, 1 TD) to be exact, confused the blue and green by scoring against them on a 9-yard TD from Panthers QB Tino Sunseri (19/ 29, 164 yards, 1 TD) putting the Panthers ahead 17-6 in the third quarter. This marked the first time all season Notre Dame had given up 17 points to an opponent.
The Pittsburgh defense was stout allowing only six points on two field goals through three quarters. Their goal line stance denied Fighting Irish RB Theo Riddick (85 rushing yards) three scoring tries from the Notre Dame 5 yard line.
Just when the Notre Dame Nation thought things could not get any worse for their beloved blue and green, starting QB Everett Golson (23/42, 227 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT) was forced out of the game due to a major blow at the end of the third quarter. Backup QB Tommy Rees (6/11, 64 yards, 1 INT), the team's savior, was called in for Golson to close out. And it was Rees who took the field as he threw an interception midway through the third quarter.
It was now Golson's chance to be the hero and save the day for a desperate team down by two scores, 20-6 as he reentered the game. Through deft passing the red shirt freshman drove his team deep into Pittsburgh territory on a drive in the fourth. Thanks to some Irish luck pass interference was called against the Panthers on a pass to TE Tyler Eifert (6 receptions, 60 yards). Golson quickly capitalized and threw a touchdown pass to WR TJ Jones (5 receptions, 53 yards 1 TD) on the next play in the back of the endzone to pull the Fighting Irish within 8, 20-12.
On Notre Dame's next drive Everett showcased his blazing speed and amazing athleticism by rushing for three straight first downs for 27, 35, and 5 yards respectively. This effort was for naught as he ended the drive by throwing an interception into the endzone .
Yet, like any hero, the Notre Dame QB overcame this adversity and became even stronger. At first and 10 on the Notre Dame 50-yard line with under 2:11 remaining in the game, on a critical possibly final Fighting Irish drive, he tossed a bomb to WR Davaris Daniels (7 receptions, 86 yards) for a 45-yard gain.
On the next play Golson's golden arm found RB Theo Riddick (4 receptions, 35 yards, 1 TD) in the endzone for his second touchdown pass on the day. Needing a two-point play to tie, Golson gallantly and effortlessly found the goal line to tie the game at 20-20 and breathe new life into the team and the quiet stadium.
Golson capped off his extraordinary day in the game's third overtime. After a RB Cierre Wood botched touchdown attempt in the second overtime the Panthers then missed a 33-yard field goal. Like any hero he took advantage of his enemy's mistake by driving, and thriving, under the pressure he dashed into the endzone towards a perfect season and BCS berth.
The Notre Dame Defense returned to impressive form after the third quarter yielding only 6 points the rest of the way. LB Manti T'eo played like a human registered eight tackles and two sacks. Stephon Tuitt racked up 1.5 sacks along with 8 tackles and 6 hurries. No sack was greater than than the one Tuitt shared with Louis Nix III for a six yard loss in the third overtime.
Another tome has yet to be written about the team's fantasy perfect season and national championship. Boston College will try and prevent this story by defeating Notre Dame at home next week at Alumni Stadium.

Charles Barkley, who says he once tipped a blackjack dealer $25,000 (after winning $700,000), threw Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen and Tiger Woods under the bus in the above interview with Conan O'Brien.
"Nobody's cheaper," he said.
Barkley recounted one instance when he tried to give some money to a homeless man, only to be reprimanded by His Airness. "If they can ask you for spare change, they can say, 'Welcome to McDonald's, can I help you, please?' " Jordan said, according to Barkley, who added a wrist slap for effect.
Let's give these guys deep-pocketed superstars the benefit of the doubt. Maybe they've been coddled by their entourages for so long that they've forgotten how to appropriately deal with the real world and those busting butts to make ends meet.
With that in mind, we're here to help. Rather, Tim Urban from the Wait But Why blog is here to help.
He set out on the streets of New York City, interviewing 123 people in various jobs that involve tips, such as doormen, waiters, baristas, busboys, valets and cab drivers. His goal was to find the answer to this nagging question: "What would a good but not ridiculously good tipper do here?"
And this is the handy chart he came up with:
Tiger, Mike, Scottie … does that make sense?
Urban called out a few other celebrities who could apparently use schooling on tipping etiquette, including Mariah Carey, LeBron James, Heidi Klum, Bill Cosby, Madonna, Barbara Streisand, Rachael Ray, Sean Penn and Usher.
Joining "The Round Mound of Rebound" in the big-tipper category: Johnny Depp, David Letterman, Bill Murray, Charlie Sheen and Drew Barrymore.
Urban ended his thorough blog post with this bit of straightforward advice for stars and regular folk alike: "I'll finish off by saying that digging into this all week has made it pretty clear that it's bad to be a bad tipper. Don't be a bad tipper."

We will be running a creative co-working session on a brief from PayPal next Wednesday. The challenge, posted in Jovoto*, is to "Help Paypal communicate in a concise and convincing way what PayPal is and how it can benefit its users"
We want to present and work on the challenge together with you. From this, put together a few breathtaking concepts, which we will translate into a nicely presented proposal, post it in Jovoto and see how the rest of the community and PayPal like it.
As we stated before we think that working collaboratively we can come up with broader, more creative solutions. Now, we want to prototype it and test it on a real case. PayPal offers a money prize – which will be divided amongst all of us if we win! And most important it will be one more reason to continue developing this new way of working. We feel that this is a critical point in our development and we would be delighted if you want to bring your skills in.
If you are intrigued or simply want to participate in this revolution come along next Wednesday the 6th of October at 19:30 to Open Design City.

New Jersey Symphony to Present Mendelssohn's 'Italian' Symphony, 3/8-10
The New Jersey Symphony Orchestra presents Mendelssohn's "Italian" Symphony on a program that also features gems from the Italian opera repertoire, including arias by Verdi, Bellini and Donizetti, along with Puccini's Chrysanthemums and Rossini's The Italian Girl in Algiers Overture. Soprano Joanna Mongiardo returns to the NJSO stage to perform the aria selections; Marcelo Lehninger conducts.
"Mendelssohn had this quality to be able to describe the essence of things," says NJSO Music Director Jacques Lacombe. "The 'Italian' Symphony is so fresh and so joyful with these typical Italian rhythms [that are] almost like dances. [It seemed natural] to pair the symphony with some of the greatest arias written for coloratura soprano-Italy is a country that sings."
Of the bel canto style featured in the arias on the program, Lacombe says: "Those composers knew how to write a phrase for the voice and to choose which vowel fit best with which note-[the music] is so perfect. Mendelssohn- despite the fact that he was a Romantic-era composer-had something of a classical aspect to his music: light, pure rhythms and very defined structure. You find all of those qualities in these arias, too."
Performances take place on Friday, March 8, (7:30 pm) at the War Memorial in Trenton, Saturday, March 9, (8 pm) at the Count Basie Theatre in Red Bank and Sunday, March 10, (3 pm) at bergenPAC in Englewood. A Classical Conversation begins one hour before the performances on March 9 in Red Bank and March 10 in Englewood.
Tickets start at $20 and are available for purchase online at www.njsymphony.org or by phone at 1.800.ALLEGRO (255.3476).

The Horizon Foundation for New Jersey is concert sponsor of the March 9 performance.
Marcelo Lehninger, conductor
Marcelo Lehninger, Music Director of the New West Symphony Orchestra in Los Angeles, is increasingly recognized as one of the most gifted conductors of his generation. Selected by James Levine to be Assistant Conductor of the Boston Symphony Orchestra (BSO), the Brazil native's tenure was extended through 2013.
Lehninger made his BSO debut in 2010; highlights have included the world premiere of Harrison Birtwistle's Violin Concerto and his Tanglewood debut. The New York Times praised his "impressive technique, musical insight and youthful energy" in his Carnegie Hall debut with the BSO.
He has conducted the Houston, National, Hartford, Fairfax and Jacksonville Symphony Orchestras. Upcoming appearances include return engagements with the Brazilian and São Paulo Symphony Orchestras, Minas Gerais and Hamilton Philharmonic Orchestra, as well as debuts with the Florida and Seattle Symphonies and Deutsches Symphonie Orchester at the Philharmonie in Berlin.
In 2008, Kurt Masur chose Lehninger as the recipient of the first Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy Scholarship sponsored by the American Friends of the Mendelssohn Foundation; he was Masur's assistant with the Orchestre National de France, Gewandhaus Orchestra in Leipzig and New York Philharmonic. Lehninger participated in the 2009 Malko Competition in Denmark and the 2011 Bruno Walter National Conductor Preview. In 2001, he placed second in the first Eleazar de Carvalho National Conducting Competition in Rio de Janeiro, subsequently conducting top orchestras in Brazil and Argentina.
An alumnus of the National Conducting Institute, he holds a master's degree from the Conductors Institute at Bard College. He was music advisor of the Youth Orchestra of the Americas for the 2007-08 season.
Joanna Mongiardo, soprano
Internationally acclaimed soprano Joanna Mongiardo "radiates warmth through her unforced, pearly fresh timbre," writes Opera News. Recognized for her effortless coloratura and spellbinding charisma on stage, she is in high demand for both operatic and symphonic repertoire. Mongiardo performed a last-minute Blonde in The Abduction from the Seraglio for Grand Théâtre de Genève; she reprised the role for both Deutsche Oper am Rhein in Düsseldorf and Opéra de Nice. She appeared as Juliette in Roméo et Juliette for Dayton Opera, and she joins the Metropolitan Opera for Manon.
Mongiardo made a critically acclaimed Teatro Grattacielo debut at Lincoln Center as Rosalina in Giordano's The King. A Central City Opera favorite, she performed the title role in their 50th-anniversary production of The Ballad of Baby Doe, Eurydice in Orpheus in the Underworld, Thérèse in Les Mamelles De Tirésias and Lauretta in Gianni Schicchi.
She has appeared with the Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Detroit, Indianapolis, Minnesota and National Symphony Orchestras and the Orquesta Sinfónica Nacional de México.
Mongiardo was on fest contract with Deutsche Oper am Rhein in Düsseldorf for two years, which culminated in 2007 in Taipei, where she sang Sophie in Der Rosenkavalier with the National Symphony Orchestra of Taiwan. Other notable operatic roles include Susanna in The Marriage of Figaro, Zerlina in Don Giovanni, Despina in Così fan tutte, Adele in Die Fledermaus, Oscar in A Masked Ball, Nannetta in Falstaff, Zerbinetta in Ariadne auf Naxos, Adina in The Elixir of Love and Anne Trulove in The Rake's Progress. She is a 2003 Sullivan Award recipient and received a master's degree in music from Yale University.
The New Jersey Symphony Orchestra is comprised of some of the country's finest musicians. The Orchestra is proud to have Jacques Lacombe as its Music Director. Artistic excellence, innovative programming and community engagement are hallmarks of its mission. To best serve the people of New Jersey, the orchestra brings its programs to seven outstanding venues throughout the state. Education and community engagement programs enrich the listening experience for children and adults alike. Select performances of the NJSO are broadcast regionally and throughout North America.

Todd tried your previous kiosk pup and noticed it did not do dhcp on bootup. If it is going to open right to firefox it would be nice to be able to surf right away without closing firefox and running the network setup. (ignore if you have changes this behavior I will test when download finishes).

Actually, glibc is very large (5MB), but necessary for the latest releases of Flash. Glibc is also necessary for Wine to work correctly (although my mentioning this is just a side note). The target audience is used computers here in the United States. It is easy to find used computers 700 to 1500 Mhz that a 100MB Puppy can run on. A lot of these computers have dying hard drives and/or CDROM's, but USB Flash Drives are cheap and so as long as the cooling fans are still good, you are in business.

I don't know how to do this. Can you walk me through it?

On boot up run the command "dhcpd"
try it in /etc/rc.d/rc.local
You may have to find another place for it though. I ran it in a terminal and it worked so in the right startup file it should be golden.
Assuming puppy loads the driver for your nic you should be good to go.
It should be the default in puppy in my humble opinion.

It adds 5-15 sec to bootup (which if you are using DHCP) is no worry.
If you are not it slows Puppy down. Barrys thinking is you only have to set DHCP once BUT if it was automated - everyone would be waiting 5-15 sec perhaps for a service they were not using. Multiply by similar essential services and Puppy begins to slow at boot up.
Even though I use DHCP - I feel it should not be added to bootup except on more convenient and friendly versions such as kiosk pup, Rudy pup, Ezpup, Teenpup etc
Hope that makes sense

Understand the reason just respectfully disagree
It would be interesting to do a poll and see what percentage use dhcp. If it was 70%+ then it should probably be a default. Not a really big deal for me but one less thing to set up for the non computer savvy.

Couldn't you just run it in parallel? It might still slow things down a little, but nowhere near as much as waiting for it to finish before continuing. If there's anything that depends on dhcpcd being finished, you could put them all in the same script, then run that script in parallel.
For example, right now I'm using WIFI, so I made a script called rc.startwireless that loads the driver, configures the interface, then runs dhcpcd. I launch that from rc.local like this:
/etc/rc.d/rc.startwireless &
That way I don't have to wait on it and can boot much faster.

That would start the inet.d (daemon) - but not connect
IF the NIC driver is boot found/loaded - (lsmod or ifconfig -a to confirm)
The command is
d eth0
then connects
dhcpcd simply is one way to start/stop the dhcp --> daemon.
man ifconfig
Majority of users now DO use dhcp - for cable or adsl !
Wireless is common for laptops
As Pizza said - parallel it in background (ampersand "&" )
OR use "nice" command options (man nice)
WHY everyone is so hot & bothered over a few seconds boot time
Then what do they do - stare at screen while cpu is 90% of time in wait-state
It's the
bottle neck
between the

well bootup time isn't the only case.
i have everything powered up and sometimes puppy is so fast that 1 it takes a long time with settingup network and when the desktop is ready and i want to use firefox i can't get on with it and have to use connect again.
so maybe starting the script later on in the booting proces would i my case be better.
(but how do i cancel it at boot? and run it with rc.local?

strangely starting the daemon was all i needed to do and it pulled an ip. In the past I have always specified an interface but i did not and it worked. When the daemon is started does it automatically broadcast out all the interfaces? That would be good if you had more than one (or could be bad of course.
So if it can be run in parallel and most people use it why would we (we being Barry of course
) not make it a default? The real question is do most people use it, I do and I like to think the world revolves around me but sadly I am beginning to suspect that it doesn't.

Unlike users - that daemon has ONE pupose - it runs dhcp
> to broadcast to Web & find an I.S.P.
(for a dynamic address, NOT a static = supplied by your service)
It runs no inet interface - that is left to E.G. ifconfig
There ARE other ways to CFG eth devices
If the user has a bad configuration- the dhcp
may be running just fine - yet STILL be unable to connect !
To test that - turn off router/gateway > run dhcpcd :
A Msg is (supposed to be) output to screen,
stating that service is already running & "suggests" interactive user responce.
IF it is set up PROPERLY dhcp(cd) is run automatically -
ONLY if a (broadband) interface is found !
That is precisely how it gets
boot activated once the configuration is set !
(Check yout dmesg screen output @ bootup)
Or see logged system events folders > /var/log

Hi Todd,
I really would like to checkout kpup, but the "/kpup/" subfolder seems to has vanished from your webserver.
Another candidate that may require your checking is ww.ipup.info.
I get an "You don't have permission to access /ipup/ on this server" Acess Forbidden error when trying to visit it.
I'm working on an pc-based touchscreen tablet for home use (someday it will be released as an open hardware project) wich should only feature a browser in fullscreen mode to controll web apps.
I'm looking forward to start from a puppy based firefox linux distro like kpup and of course contribute to its development if necessary...

Utah, USC top college video game design programs
The University of Utah now boasts the top undergraduate program in the country for video game design, says the latest report from The Princeton Review.
The Salt Lake City school beat out the University of Southern California, which had held the top spot for three years.
"It caused a lot of excitement and a lot of interest in places where maybe we weren't getting interest before," says Mark van Langeveld, one of the founders of Utah's video game design program, which launched in 2007.
The program features staff with prior experience in video game design, including van Langeveld, who worked at Microsoft. "Our goal is to teach the student as many applications so they are ready to be employed the minute they get done with the program," he says.
Although USC falls to second in undergraduate programs, the Los Angeles, Calif., school still hosts the top graduate school program for video game design in the country, followed by the University of Utah.
Schools are judged by several criteria, including curriculum, faculty, facilities and career services. This year's survey featured 148 colleges and universities, a 17% increase from last year.
Also heading upward: salaries. For students who completed an undergraduate program, average salaries were up 3% last year to $55,662, and up 12% ($70,534) for those who finished a graduate school program.

Joan Does Dynasty/Joan Sees Stars
Two films by
Joan Braderman
1993, 95 minutes, Color, DVD
Order No. W99631
In the now classic, JOAN DOES DYNASTY (1986, 35 mins), Braderman superimposes her own image over scenes from one of the most popular night time soap operas in American history. With spearing humor, Braderman doesn't even spare poor Krystal in her wicked deconstruction of the fantasies of capitalism, patriarchy and consumption. JOAN SEES STARS (1993, 60 mins) is a savvy peek at the way celebrity culture, especially movies stars, make their way in to our lives, our beds and our dreams.
"Braderman looks at life through rose-colored glasses, then wipes them off and dishes the dirt. JOAN SEES STARS is no exception: movies meet life, life meets death and romance meets Perdue chicken in the meditation on our illicit VCR pleasures. Watch, and eat your heart out." --B. Ruby Rich, Cultural Critic

Orioles infield prospect Jonathan Schoop said Saturday that he plans to play for the Netherlands in this spring's World Baseball Classic.
Schoop is listed on the Netherlands' provisional roster that came out this week, but he said was considering not playing because of a nagging left knee injury.
"Last year, I felt a little big of weakness in my leg, in my knee," Schoop said. "I was feeling not 100 percent. Right now it feels good."
Orioles center fielder Adam Jones will represent the United States in the WBC, and reliever Luis Ayala will pitch for Mexico. Closer Jim Johnson was invited to pitch for Team USA but declined, as did right-hander Miguel Gonzalez with Mexico.
Schoop participated in the Arizona Fall League and was named to the Rising Stars Game. He's spent the offseason working with Brady Anderson.
"My knee felt a lot stronger even after just three, four days after working with Brady," Schoop said.

Houston area dream homes
Check out the mega mansions and expensive estates on our wish list this month.

Most of us will never be able to spring for that $15 million mansion, but it sure is fun to dream about it!
Take a peek inside these custom homes with tennis courts, huge guest houses, wine cellars, and in some cases, an overabundance of oppulence that is just a little much.

I have an old 50' Pontoon with twin outboards, I love it!! Drives great, straight, turns tight, easy to dock etc.
|Administered by The Pirate
I have an old 50' Pontoon with twin outboards, I love it!! Drives great, straight, turns tight, easy to dock etc.
I try to remember that I am pushing a several-ton house through the water, with a hull kinda shaped like a boat on the front. I have owned a twin engine boat and a single engine boat. Neither steered very well! I drive out to coves on my lake just a few miles at most. Steering isn't a concern until I try to slide that thing back into the slip with a big wind from either side. Thrusters would be very handy then. Crossing my fingers also helps, but interferes with steering.
After having a 12 x 52 Sumerset with a single outboard and a 14 x 72 Jamestowner with a single outboard and now a 18 x 80 Jamestowner with twin 5.0s and Bravo II outdrives, I can definitely attest to the desirability of twins when it comes to handling. And, I take my boats out pretty much every weekend from the beginning of May until the end of September.
My houseboat drafts about 28" with Vee Drives which is pretty shallow. Since the waters I boat in have sand substrates I can stretch that a bit, say around 25-26". When you pull out the tape measure and see what 25" looks like you realize this is VERY shallow water. I wouldn't want to try to navigate in anything shallower than that.
For me the only time that outdrives would be nice is when anchoring as we back up between sandbars that run perpendicular to the shore. The sandbars are about 12" under the surface while the hole is about 30" deep and only about 20' wide. It's like backing into a slip without the comfort of having fingers/pillars on either side. Gets a little hairy...
Another thing worth considering is the massive amount of stress that outdrives place on the transom. Houseboats are heavy and pushing them with outdrives can eat the transom for breakfast over time, and transom work is expensive.
your right goVols, i've had 3 pontoon houseboats. a 40ft crest,a 43 foot crest houser and a 54 ft playcraft. they handle like a dream and are pretty much indistructable. when something does happen its very easy to fix and they go where no man has gone before just like startrek.
I have nothing against pontoons since our 32' Party Cruiser is sitting on top of a pair and a half! I even poked a nice hole in one, and yes, easy to fix.
BUT- my 100 gallon and 40 gallon black tanks, 55 gallon water tank, 3 beds, vanity, several cupboards and shelves and all the stuff in them, Splendide washer/dryer, about 5 electric heaters, several large boxes of electrical parts, plumbing parts, spare genny parts, 2 macerators, 3 spare water pumps, spare oil and fuel gauges, 2 spare electric fuel pumps, 5 gallons of paint and 2 boxes of painting equipment, much fishing gear, DA sander, Ryobi multitool, belt sander, angle grinder (and many other tools), about 5 electric heaters, portable swamp cooler, 2 DVD players, spare cable box, VCR, several boxes of audio-visual wires & cables, 2 ceiling fans, 6 five-gallon water cans, several hoses, 2 burner propane stove, single burner propane stove, tabletop electric smoker, several gallons of pink antifreeze, many extension cords, inflatable cabana and pull tube, Magma BBQ, and that's just what I can think of at the moment-- are ALL in a place that doesn't even exist on a pontoon boat...
And our boat steers nice & straight!
(and FWIW most of that stuff was already here when we bought the thing!)

FR, sounds like you have a hardware store in the hull of your boat!
Depending on the mfg of the 'toon boats, they're countermeasuring the storage issue by hatching open the pontoons to create usable storage bins. The 'toons are bulkheaded every 8' and they're roughly 4' wide. Heck, they even stick the generators and the marine air systems in them!
My particular boat was the last one they built without the 'toon storage, so junk storage is not abundant for me. It just forces me to minimize the junk on-board. Since I'm not a live-a-board, it's a non-issue for me.

damn frantic you dont have a houseboat you have a floating hardware store.i dont even own that much stuff let alone carry it on my boat.....lol
In my years i have owned a 70 stardust with single outboard, 77 silver queen with single v8 and after several years beingg away from this hobby, I now have an 85 Gibson lazy cruz with single v8 . So, i dont know what a twin engine would be like. Kinda like the old saying you dont miss what you never had. As for a thruster, the man I ourchased this current boat from had a home made thruster. He put a bracket ( well made and looked professional) on the front of the boat. I found a trolling motor in the closet and that was his thruster. Everyone at the dock said it worked unless he got the direction mixed up. Lol. Thought it was a rather clever concept but so far i think ill take the bracket off. Wile windy i have found it best to stay in gear and get where you are going when docking as fast as you can and dont try to drift in or you will drift right past your slip. Lol

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) -- Kansas legislators returned Wednesday to the Statehouse to resume the 2013 session, hoping to move closer to resolving differences over the $14.5 billion budget for 2014.
They were met by more than 1,000 advocates for the intellectually and developmentally disabled who rallied against folding services for disabled residents into the state's KanCare Medicaid system.
Advocates are concerned that services for the disabled would be reduced if folded in the new system administered by three health insurance companies. Gov. Sam Brownback's administration wants to put the services into KanCare starting in 2014. A pilot program is currently testing how the inclusion of the services works in KanCare on a limited basis.
The Republican governor is proposing to increase funding for services by $18.5 million, contending that continuing to keep developmental services apart from the KanCare system will result in higher costs for the state over the next two years.
Joe Cheray, mother of 13-year-old Topeka boy with cerebral palsy, said she was worried that Brownback's plan would mean the loss of the attendant care her son recently started receiving. She said having the care provider means that she is able to work on her social media company and be less reliant on others for financial help. The care attendant earns $9 an hour to stay with her son.
Cheray signed a 65-foot canvass banner hanging down the steps outside from Brownback's office, asking him to "Have a heart" and rethink his decision.
"This is too important. I'm doing this for my son, my family and my son's care attendant," Cheray said. "It's a real crap shoot. I don't know what Gov. Brownback is thinking."
Angela de Rocha, spokeswoman for the Kansas Department for Aging and Disability Services, said moving services for the developmentally disabled under KanCare was aimed at getting better health results for recipients. She said people would be able to keep their case managers and providers and that the KanCare managers couldn't arbitrarily decide to reduce services that recipients are eligible to receive.
De Rocha said the change would provide financial stability for system, as well as better coordinated care.
"There are no incentives for better (health) outcomes in the current system," she said.
Legislators have been on a monthlong break since April 5. House and Senate budget committees met briefly over the interim to review a new state revenue forecast and remaining budget issues. It was unclear how soon budget negotiations would resume.
Rep. Jerry Henry, an Atchison Democrat and member of the House budget negotiating team, said there were a lot of questions regarding changes to developmentally disabled services, adding that support was growing to extend the exclusion from the KanCare program for another year.
"It still could be discussed during the next 10 days, but why not let the pilot program come forward and see how it works," Henry said.
He said any budget decisions regarding social services or plans to cut higher education won't be resolved until legislators settled differences over taxes.
The House is proposing to cut higher education by 4 percent, while allowing the state sales tax rate slide from 6.3 percent to 5.7 percent on July 1. The Senate proposes a 2-percent higher education cut, but would keep the sales tax rate at 6.3 percent.
Brownback's desire is to keep the sales tax rate at 6.3 percent and no cuts to higher education, having spent the past two weeks touring Kansas to build support for his position.

The Central Connecticut women's basketball team earned a 43-32 victory over New Hampshire on Sunday afternoon with a strong defensive effort. The Blue Devils (4-3) were led by 14 points from senior Jaclyn Babe.
The offenses for both teams started slowly with the Blue Devils scoring the lone basket over the first four minutes of play.
Following the slow start, the Blue Devils began to score and opened up an 8-2 lead. CCSU kept control of the game, but New Hampshire (4-5) was able to climb back in late in the first half.
Central scored the final basket of the half on a steal and break-away layup by sophomore Kaley Watras. The score put CCSU up 22-18.
In the second half, UNH closed the gap to 27-25, but junior Jessica Babe hit a three to put CCSU up by five. A Wildcat free throw cut Central's lead to four before baskets by Watras and Jaclyn Babe put CCSU ahead, 34-26.
Free throws by junior Jaleen Thomas and a basket by senior Kirsten Daamen helped Central take a 38-32 lead with 6:08 left in the game.
New Hampshire did not score again in the game.
A layup by Thomas and free throws by Jessica and Jaclyn Babe pushed Central's lead to 43-32.
Central limited the Wildcats to 32 points, the lowest total CCSU has allowed this season. The Blue Devils also held their opponent to 14 points in the second half for the second consecutive game.
Jaclyn Babe led all scorers with 14 points in the game. She also had seven steals for the third time this season, matching her career-high. Daamen was second on the team with eight points.
Jessica Babe contributed seven points and led the team with eight rebounds. Thomas followed her up with six boards.
The Blue Devils never trailed in the game and also prevented UNH from tying the score at any point.
New Hampshire's first points of the game came seven minutes and 20 seconds into the first half. The Blue Devils also held the Wildcats scoreless over the final 7:11 of the second half.
The Blue Devils return to action on Wednesday, Dec. 19, against LaSalle at Detrick Gym. CCSU will play again on Dec. 21, as part of a doubleheader with the men's team.

More Martiniana
It is now officially 'Adrian Martin Month' here at the blog: he's writing 'em faster than I can read 'em. In the last week, at least four new pieces have appeared. Adrian: you should think about recording one of those Tony Robbins-style infomercials for the rest of us!
Two of the pieces are in the new issue of Undercurrent, edited by Chris Fujiwara. The issue isn't large, but every single piece in it is good and worth reading. For me, one of the highlights is an exchange between Adrian and Andrew Klevan.
Adrian reviews Klevan's book about acting, Film Performance: From Achievement to Appreciation, praising and recommending it. After getting this strong endorsement over with in the first few paragraphs, the review switches tack to do something unusual: without pulling its punches, it mounts a forthright but very constructive critique of the book. The review takes the book to task for several reasons: valorizing classicism; displaying a lack of interest in cinematic modernism; not drawing from anecdotal material like biographies or memoirs; and sidelining the film director and mise en scène in favor of the actor.
Klevan's response essay replies to these criticisms with great openness and generosity, clearly outlining the rationale for the choices he made in the book. The two essays together make for a rare critical dialogue that is plain and direct in its disagreements but ever mutually respectful. (I'm wondering: Are there other examples of criticism undertaken in this gracious spirit of dialogue?).
Other Martiniana of the week:
(1) "Cruising: The Sound of Violence" in Undercurrent;
(2) "The Enigma of Gesture," a report on the Brisbane Film Festival at the FIPRESCI site; and
(3) "'Abolish All Film Magazines!'": the new Filmkrant column.
The Brisbane piece is much more than a film festival report; it smuggles in a sustained reflection on crying in cinema. Here's an excerpt on why we often sense a discrepancy between the tears of a character and what prompts or triggers that emotional outpouring:
Yet maybe it is only bad, conventional movies which have conditioned us, down the years, to expect that an emotion (as effect or release) can cleanly match or be appropriate to its cause: as philosopher Giorgio Agamben reminds us, we are always more and less than ourselves, and our emotional response (or affect) invariably occurs in the zones of the not-enough or the too-much. It is our fate. Life confirms this regularly: we find that we cannot grieve enough as we would like, or openly enough, at the funeral of a loved one or family member (with catastrophic social effects, as for Camus' immortal 'outsider'); conversely, we find that that the tiniest pretext, along a convoluted line of displacements and sublimations, can send us into wailing histrionics, uncontrollable and inconsolable.

-- Jonathan Rosenbaum on two Jim McBride films, David Holzman's Diary and My Girlfriend's Wedding.
-- Mubarak links to an essay by Nicole Brenez called "On the Subject of Regrettable Searching - Body to Body, the Filmed Body." It opens thus: "Necessarily, the body is a source of worry: subject to accident, decline, death, it is that from which we must escape by, for example, leaving figurative traces that others perhaps will consider art."

Each year, ESPN "The Magazine" trots out special issues like the goofy jocks-are-in-charge issue one when they let a professional athlete play editor for the week. (Remember one year Matt Leinart did this. Yeah, it'll probably be a long time before he gets on the cover again.) This year the mag has enlisted the help of grunty, long-legged tennis player Maria Sharapova to put her own distinct editorial flourish on it. According to the email sent out to the ESPN magazine staff, she's, not surprisingly, going with a fashion-oriented issue — but could use some more help:
Folks, Maria Sharapova is going to be the "Editor-in-Chief" of our Athletes Issue. She accepted this responsibility with great enthusiasm and would like, for an issue, to focus her efforts for the Magazine toward revamping the fashion-sense of America's favorite athletes. She has two ideas: -The make-over. She wants to redo the style of LeBron (even though he only wears Ralph Lauren's premium label), Carmelo Anthony, Reggie Bush etc. -The Best Dressed/Worst Dressed list. It's debut in our pages. Why am I going on about this? Because we need to come up with some other things she can do in addition (or in place of) the above. Ideally, some of you have ideas that put to use her interest in style and applies it to our pages. I'd love to hear any and all thoughts on the matter. There are no stupid ideas. Please take a few minutes and ask yourself "If Maria Sharapova were my boss for a day, how could she make the magazine better?" And then send me what you come up with. By Wednesday, please.
I predict there will be a lot of "Less words, more creepy up-skirt shots of Sharapova" suggestions from the staff for the sake of job security. Gotta move those suckers off the newsstands if they're going to survive the downturn in ad pages. ESPN The Magazine [ESPN.com]

I hate to see Khloe Kardashian upset. Unless, of course, she's upset at her sisters, which I find shamefully entertaining, but generally speaking, I want things to be right in Khloe's world if only because she symbolizes the sanity in that absurd family of hers, and if she loses it, well, then, there's no hope for the rest of us.
Khloe recently took to her personal blog to clear up a few rumors she's read about herself recently about her marriage, her miscarriages, and her jealousy, and truth be told? She sounds pretty pissed.
She writes:
It is disgusting that Life & Style and InTouch magazine continue to print these false stories about my life: the status of my marriage, false reports about a miscarriage, the horrible lie that my dad is not my biological father, jealousy over my sisters' lives, etc. It is a complete waste of time to address these reports every time they print these ridiculous and absurd tabloid stories, but not only are these stories untrue, they're also unfair to the people who buy the magazine expecting to read accurate reports.
I'm happily married to a wonderful man and fall in love with him more and more each day, and we'll have a baby when god wants us to and when the time is right. These blatant lies are distasteful and shameless.
Whoa. We've just been smacked with a ham sandwich of truthiness, huh? Glad to hear that things are all A-OK on Khloe's end, but she can't be surprised that people are skeptical of her marital status after she married a stranger a few weeks after they met.
So since none of these rumors are true ... guess Khloe's life is pretty damn great. Marriage is awesome, family is awesome, not having kids (for now) is awesome ...
Something feels like she's protesting too much, but at the same time, if things really are as wonderful as she says they are, I guess there really wouldn't be anything to bring her down.
Well, I mean, obviously she's grossed out about Kim's baby with Kanye, because like, who isn't, but that's beside the point.
It's just like Khloe to tackle the rumors head on and keep it real with her fans -- that's what we like most about her. She's an open book that isn't afraid to tell it like it is. I just hope that is, in fact, what she's doing.
Sounds like everything's just great in Khloe's world -- do you believe her?

A Modesto Junior College student has filed a lawsuit in federal court against the school and officials who blocked him from handing out copies of the U.S. Constitution on Constitution Day.
Videos of MJC student Robert Van Tuinen got more than 153,000 hits on YouTube. The college received more than 500 phone calls and thousands of emails from across the nation regarding the incident, some including hate speech or death threats, officials said.
The complaint, filed Thursday in U.S. District Court in Fresno, seeks an injunction against school policies restricting freedom of speech and unspecified damages and attorney fees.
Reached Thursday, Van Tuinen said he doesn't expect to make anything off the lawsuit. "This is not about money," he said. "The complaint pretty much lays it out pretty well. I just don't want to see it happen to anybody else."

Lawyers from the Washington, D.C., and Los Angeles offices of Davis Wright Tremaine filed the lawsuit on behalf of Van Tuinen, 26, of Modesto. The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education is providing financial support for the legal action, said spokesman Nico Perrino.
Van Tuinen, an Army veteran, was handing out fliers outside the Student Center on Sept. 17 when a campus security officer stopped him and took him to speak to Christine Serrano, an MJC administrative specialist. Serrano told him he could pass out fliers only inside a small cement block on the campus quad after speaking by appointment with an administrator and filling out paperwork, and then only on a scheduled future date.
The unnamed officer and Serrano are listed as defendants in the lawsuit, as are the Yosemite Community College District, Chancellor Joan Smith, MJC President Jill Stearns and several additional administrators.
Smith and Sterns issued a joint statement after the filing: "We do not comment on pending litigation; however, we express our thanks to those individuals willing to stand up for our Constitution and expression of free speech. We affirm the commitment of the college and district to civil discourse.
"We appreciate all points of view across the spectrum and support every individual's right to express their view. Modesto Junior College and the Yosemite Community College District wholly support the state and federal constitutions and student free speech."
In an earlier letter, Stearns wrote, "There is absolutely no requirement that a student register weeks in advance and hand out his literature only in a small marked area."
However, the lawsuit lists policies that appear to contradict state law by limiting free speech to one small area on each campus, for up to eight hours per semester per individual, and only after giving administrators five days to approve materials being handed out.
The policy "functions as a licensing scheme," the complaint argues, with penalties that could include expulsion or removal from campus.
The complaint claims the actions of the defendants "have caused Mr. Van Tuinen to refrain from expressing his beliefs or distributing literature while on campus for fear of being punished under college or district policies."
Citing free speech rights of the U.S. Constitution's First Amendment and California's state constitution, the lawsuit says denial of Von Tuinen's rights constitutes an irreparable injury and has caused him significant emotional pain and anguish, asking the court for damages as well as legal costs.
It also asks the court to grant a permanent injunction restraining enforcement of MJC policies that limit the time, place and dates of free speech that is not disruptive.
Van Tuinen graduated from Modesto High in 2006, joining the Army that summer and serving in Kuwait as a satellite communication systems operator-maintainer. He is majoring in photography at MJC, but said he now is considering a career in journalism.
