ok if you downloaded the icewm dotpup and clicked on it in rox and it unzipped and installed then it should have given you the option to reboot X and run icewm before the script exited this will put you into ice and it will be your default wm forever if you installed the xp theme correctly it will appear under the "themes" menu item near the bottom of the "start"-like menu if you select it as your theme it will become your default theme you shouldn't have to do this every time you boot up if you do something is wrong
to make your sound work on every bootup without having to modprobe you need to add the commands you use to get your sound up and running into the /etc/rc.d/rc.local file this file is run every time you boot and can be edited
sorry but can't help you with cd burning

Well, for a start, if you figured out a way why don't you tell the rest of us how you did it?

I think to make icewm the default simply leave X and then at the prompt type
# xwin icewm
To make you CD work for writing try this:
Start -> Setup -> CD/DVD Drive Wizard
You will probably want to set it for SCSI Emulation.
Let us know.

...and the version of Puppy that you are using would help. It will make a difference, since the kernel series has changed from version 1.0.2 and 1.0.3.
Are you booting from a hard drive installation of Puppy, or off the cd (Live Puppy)?
I love it when a plan comes together

So did you set it up for SCSI emulation?
There might be a little problem with icewm menu. Like someone may have forgotten to add something to the end of the line.
Open /root/.icewm/menu with a text editor. Look for this line:
prog "Gcombust CD writer" mini-cd gcombust gcombustshell
It may just say:
prog "Gcombust CD writer" mini-cd gcombust
If so add the gcombustshell to the end of the line
Or maybe it doesn't make a difference with 1.0.3 - it did with 1.0.2
In any event set up your cd-burner on the burn tab of gcombust
Hope this help to confusion ratio of this post was good for you

I found in Puppy 1.0.1, I had to do the following. If you have grub as your bootloader, add the following to the kernel line (in bold);
kernel (hd0,0) /boot/vmlinuz root=hda1
Assuming that the burner is the secondary master (which would make it hdc). This example also assumes that Puppy is resident on hda1. Depending where your Puppy partition is, Grub may have it differently.
If the burner is elsewhere, then hd(x) (the x value) would be different.
This allowed scsi emulation to load with the kernel boot and Gcombust to see the drive as such.
Then when you are in Gcombust, click on the button to detect the drive, then the button to check the status. If this works, you should be good to go.
Otherwise, scsi emulation can be done from the wizard wizard-->setup cdburner, reboot and see if the status screen shows scsi emulation.
This added line is for the 2.4 series kernel, which is now what Puppy uses in version 1.0.3 again.
In the 1.0.2 version, this was not necessary, as scsi emulation was supposed to be handled differently by the 2.6 series kernel.
I love it when a plan comes together

Fixing Our Churches – The Lost Love
Acts 2:44-47 GOD'S WORD Translation (GW) – 44 All the believers kept meeting together, and they shared everything with each other. 45 From time to time, they sold their property and other possessions and distributed the money to anyone who needed it. 46 The believers had a single purpose and went to the temple every day. They were joyful and humble as they ate at each other's homes and shared their food. 47 At the same time, they praised God and had the good will of all the people. Every day the Lord saved people, and they were added to the group.
I was reading some articles about the problems that churches in the United States have. Things like lack of commitment, not teaching the Word (implies teaching a western university method with references and focused on the western academic mind), keeping the finances up with the perceived needs of the congregation, and on and on.
There actually were several articles with really good and deeply profound ideas, but I noticed that many of these articles missed what it seems to me was the core of the early church.
The early church (no matter how large or small) had at it's core one key focus – one another. I am intrigued by the American church's focus on either getting bigger by counting registered members or on staying small at all costs because "it is more personal".
Both have their merits as a church that is not growing is clearly not focused on living out the great commission. A Christian church that is not reaching the unsaved and not only leading them to Christ but also discipling these new believers is hard-pressed to say it is a Christian church when it is not following the core mission it was given by Christ.
Matthew 28:18-20 GOD'S WORD Translation (GW) – 18 When Jesus came near, he spoke to them. He said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 So wherever you go, make disciples of all nations: Baptize them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. 20 Teach them to do everything I have commanded you. "And remember that I am always with you until the end of time."
On the other hand a church that is so big that the people don't know or care about one another is not showing the love that was to be the mark of the church. It simply becomes a ritualistic exercise that assumes that there is some magic power to just being in the building and performing some amount of the ritual that is done there.
John 13:34-35 GOD'S WORD Translation (GW) – 34 "I'm giving you a new commandment: Love each other in the same way that I have loved you. 35 Everyone will know that you are my disciples because of your love for each other."
Both (very commonly expressed) points are valid, but I am not sure that the size of the worship or celebration service is the problem, as a matter of fact, I am convinced that these are symptoms of a bigger problem. The problem is the focus on anything but the "community of believers".
I am not saying that there is the absence of this concept, what I am saying is that there seems to always be something else that is more important than this key focus.
In my travels, most churches have an element of discussion on building some kind of deeply interpersonal community of believers, but it is almost always overshadowed by some other focus.
In research, discussion, debate, study and so on, I can usually find reasons for various focuses that each church model or denomination had for their focuses. These were not bad things even in the models of church that seemed to be miserably failing. To be honest, many of the models that seemed to be miserably failing seemed to have a focus that was for a particular season. The season merely seemed to change and the church simply didn't change with it. God moved and the church decided to stay.
I know I have written a lot in the past about church models and those that know me have probably had a few conversations about church models, but I do not think that even that is the real issue and I am not convinced that simply changes models will fix the struggles of the western church in the long term.
THE PROBLEM IS NOT STRICTLY ONE OF MODEL, STRUCTURE OR CONTENT, THE PROBLEM IS PUTTING FIRST THINGS FIRST!!! Look at this verse:
Revelation 2:2-4 GOD'S WORD Translation (GW) – 2 I know what you have done—how hard you have worked and how you have endured. I also know that you cannot tolerate wicked people. You have tested those who call themselves apostles but are not apostles. You have discovered that they are liars. 3 You have endured, suffered trouble because of my name, and have not grown weary. 4 However, I have this against you: The love you had at first is gone.
This message to the church in Ephesus has some interesting points:
- They work and endure
- They do not tolerate wicked people
- They test those who claim to be called of God and weed them out
- They stand up for their faith even in the face of great adversity
I have been taught in the past that the first love they had forgotten was the Word of God. Of course this was taught as a logical progression from the idea that the first love was Jesus, by extension that means that the first love was what Jesus told them to do and so that means the fist love is the Word of God where what Jesus wants believers to do is explained. I do believe that idea to be a part of the truth, but there is a more obvious idea expressed in the context of the time.
That period of history where the New Testament was not assembled yet, Old Testament texts were rooms full of scrolls in temples and there was little chance in Ephesus of doing things the way we do them in our modern contexts so although many of these sort of interpretations fit into our context and quality exegesis of the scripture they may not fit into their context.
So although our modern interpretations are okay, what did the text mean at the time. I wasn't there and have limited insight into the deeper details of their context, but there is something I have been pondering: The key is what the Church in Ephesus' first love was and how that plays out in our modern lives.
I started with the obvious question of what role love is supposed to play in the Church and in the lives of Christians. The most obvious place to start:
Matthew 22:37-40 New International Version (NIV) – 37 Jesus replied: "'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' 40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments."
I would have to say that the first love we were all told to have is in fact God with all of our hearts. In this passage, Jesus himself describes what the "by extensions" are. Loving others a part of loving God. Anything we do that is supposed to be about loving God has to be completely tied to loving others.
1 Corinthians 13:1-3 GOD'S WORD Translation (GW) – I may speak in the languages of humans and of angels. But if I don't have love, I am a loud gong or a clashing cymbal. 2 I may have the gift to speak what God has revealed, and I may understand all mysteries and have all knowledge. I may even have enough faith to move mountains. But if I don't have love, I am nothing. 3 I may even give away all that I have and give up my body to be burned. But if I don't have love, none of these things will help me.
Anything that is done without love (particularly expressions of God to other people as noted in this passage) is nothing and is definitely not truly expressing God. Now think about the church in Ephesus:
- They work and endure
- They do not tolerate wicked people
- They test those who claim to be called of God and weed them out
- They stand up for their faith even in the face of great adversity
But, some kind of "love" was not involved that was supposed to be. I think it is obvious that love of God is supposed to be everyone's first love and is what is being directly expressed here. It is the details of what they were or were not doing that is still a bit unclear. According to Jesus Love for God and expressing love for others are tied together. It is possible to work, endure, not tolerate wicked people, test what people teach and stand up for faith while not expressing love for others.
I have been around people who seem to be like this. They do lots of Christian stuff, they can tell you whats wrong with how others live out a relationship with or talk about God. They can boldly defend their theology yat they do all of this with no real expressing of love in a way that the people they encounter can experience the love of God through them.
There is that idea that showing love is trying to force people to believe as their theology dictates and to argue with them if they do not is a great showing of love. The mere idea of loving someone by force is a strange concept in and of itself, but this idea of what the passage is describing is something we commonly see even now. Was the church at Ephesus a church of doers but not lovers?
This possible translation in mind, it would seem that the most important things that a church should be about are:
- Loving God
- Loving others (starting with each other which is the way others would know that we are God's people)
If this does not permeate everything that a church does, the things that the church is doing is just a loud gong or clashing cymbal to God and to the world around them.
Most mainline churches have plans and programs to involve elements of loving the community or people in "missions fields" somewhere remote and poor, but are these really the love we are to show one another. That love for one another is a key outward expression of the the church that is supposed to be evident to all. Every church is supposed to exude this kind of love in a way that love for God, love for all people and definitely love for one another is what any outsider should be able to see and experience at any church.
This kind of love is something I have serious doubts about creating via a program or a six week sermon series. First off, this is a key ingredient and not some afterthought that we add later. This is even more than mindsets and theological thoughts; this is a lifestyle that should permeate the congregation create a sustained atmosphere within the church.
The question is how do we get this lifestyle throughout our churches? One thought is asking ourselves if the model we are using is the most likely model to produce this kind of love for God, one another, and the people around us or not. I may be generalizing a bit, but just finding some building and sitting through a sermon most Sundays and maybe going to a midweek service.
Many people do more like join ministry teams or groups within the church, but instead of being a portion of the church that has deeper relationships with each other and spends time together, shouldn't it be the norm and those that don't the exception? Shouldn't everyone be deeply interconnected with the other people in the church? Shouldn't everyone there quite naturally care for and about one another.
I am amazed at how many times one or two isolate incidents of members of the church caring for one another are paraded around by church members. Doesn't the fact these are such big news imply that these sorts of things are incredibly rare.
I know I am partial to churches either having a small group component or consisting entirely of small groups, but that is because that seems to be the only way that these things can happen on a deeper level.
We have to use models that best facilitate the growth of this kind of love for God, for each other and for the people of earth on the deepest levels.
Many of the models we western churchgoers and western churches are comfortable in wouldn't even have room to discuss but the deepest issues of an incredibly small segment of the congregation. As a matter of fact, if we tried to discuss the problems and needs of every person in the church each week, there would not only be too little time in the service to get through them all, I doubt if there would be enough time in the week. Our services are not structured for this information, so how could it be possible for the people in the church to respond to these problems and needs if they have no way of knowing them?
So yes, my suggestions on this key issue does include small groups. I simply do not see how you can get this personal and involved in every person's life without breaking it into smaller more personal settings. Having small groups and studies/discussions designed to lead to community is still artificial, but it also much more likely to develop in these environments and the tools are just to aid something that could probably happen on it's own.
The church described in Acts met together everywhere and did all kinds of things together as well of taking care of one another. It wasn't some program the Apostles came up with, it was simply the lifestyle ans those that joined were really likely to do the same.
It is very common in years past to hear great speakers saying the church is the people and not the building. There is more to that. The churches job is to love God and to love the people and there is nothing stated in the New Testament about loving the building or the address.
I guess what I am proposing is a question more than an answer. Have we as the American church lost the love? I am not asking about one church or the group of deeply spiritual people at every church that do more than the general membership of the church. I am asking if the general state of the church in America is one that exudes an atmosphere of love for God, each other and people in general that it is most likely what each person experiences most with any contact with us?
It is funny that most people I know that do not believe see us as angry at the world, complaining about politics (especially complaining about democrats), we hate homosexuals, we don't accept those who don't believe, we hate anyone who thinks abortions are okay and on and on.
I know these things are not true and is totally the opposite of many American Christians and so on, But what all of that does not reflect is that people know us for our love. The American church is most known in my area as the people who hate this and hate that and hate these people etc. I am not saying not to have political views or to take stands on morality etc., but no matter what we are doing love has to be broadcast as the message or we are misrepresenting Christ.
As I said before, it's not about a program or just adding small groups, this is about a complete change of focus for the American church and many churchgoers.
If you want to fix your church experience, your church, or the American church as a whole this must be the starting point. Have we lost the love we are supposed to have? Do we love God and one another in such a way that love the core of who we are and everybody can see it? Do we love others so much that everyone knows us for our love? If we cannot answer yes to all of that we cannot answer yes to any of it and definitely cannot say we are loving God without a deep level of loving others.

This information does not assure that this product is safe, effective, or appropriate for you. This information is not individual medical advice and does not substitute for the advice of your health care professional. Always ask your health care professional for complete information about this product and your specific health needs.
This medication is used to treat "cold sores/fever blisters" (herpes labialis). It can speed up healing of the sores and decrease symptoms (such as tingling, pain, burning, itching). Acyclovir belongs to a class of medications known as antivirals. It works by stopping the growth of the virus. This medication does not cure herpes, and it does not prevent passing the infection to someone else. It does not prevent a future occurrence.
This section contains uses of this drug that are not listed in the approved US professional labeling for the drug but that may be prescribed by your health care professional. Use this drug for a condition that is listed in this section only if it has been so prescribed by your health care professional. This drug may also be used for genital herpes. Other medications taken by mouth may work better for genital herpes. Discuss your treatment options with your doctor. This drug does not cure herpes or prevent infection of sexual partners.
Read the Patient Information Leaflet available from your pharmacist. Consult your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions. Use this medication at the first sign of infection (such as tingling, burning, redness). Wash your hands with soap and water before and after applying this medication. Clean and dry the affected areas before applying the medication. Apply to the affected area and rub in gently, usually 5 times a day (every 3 to 4 hours) for 4 days for cold sores, or as directed by your doctor.
Apply enough cream to cover all affected areas (red/tingling/burning areas, sores). Apply to skin only. Do not apply this medication in the eyes or nose, inside the mouth, or inside the vagina. If you do get medication in those areas, flush with plenty of water. Dosage is based on your medical condition, type of infection, and response to treatment. Do not use this drug more often or for longer than prescribed. Use this medication regularly to get the most benefit from it. This medication works best when the amount of drug absorbed by the skin stays at a constant level. Therefore, use this drug at evenly spaced intervals.
To help you remember, use it at the same times each day. To prevent washing off the medication, do not bathe, shower, or swim right after applying it. If applying to genital herpes sores, use a finger cot or rubber gloves to avoid spreading the infection. Do not apply other skin products (such as drugs, cosmetics, sun screens, or lip balms) unless told to do so by your doctor. Do not cover the area with plastic or waterproof bandages unless told to do so by your doctor. Cold sores (herpes) can spread easily. Acyclovir cream does not prevent the spread of herpes. Avoid close physical contact with others (such as kissing) during an outbreak until the cold sores have completely healed. Also, try not to touch the cold sore, and wash your hands if you do touch the cold sore.
If you are using acyclovir for treatment of genital herpes, it is important to follow safe sex practices to reduce the risk of giving herpes to your partner, even if there are no symptoms present. Always use a condom made of latex or polyurethane. When you have symptoms or are experiencing an outbreak, do not have sexual contact with your partner. Tell your doctor if your condition persists or worsens after treatment is finished.
Dry/cracked lips, burning, stinging, or flaky skin may occur. If any of these effects persist or worsen, tell your doctor or pharmacist promptly. Remember that your doctor has prescribed this medication because he or she has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects. Many people using this medication do not have serious side effects.

How to create a Basic Page in Drupal 8
While there are a few different content types in Drupal 8, there are only two that are available by default. These are the Article and the Basic Page. This article will focus on the Basic Page.
What is a Basic Page?
The Basic Page is typically used for content that is static, or rarely changes. An example commonly found on websites is an About Us page. These types of pages are most commonly linked to the menu bars within your website. The instructions below will guide you on how to create your first Basic Page in Drupal 8.
Creating a Basic Page in Drupal 8
- Log into your Drupal 8 interface.
- At the top of the page, you will see a toolbar. Find and click on the Menu link.
- After clicking on the Menu option, another menu bar will appear directly underneath. Select the Content option.
- You are now on the main content list page. Here you will see a list of all content pages and articles that have been created on your site. As this will be the first page, there are none listed for now. Click on the Add Content button to begin.
- You will be met with a selection of available content types. There are two types by default, Articles and Basic Pages. Select the Basic Pages option.
- The next screen is the content editor screen. Here you will need to add the title and body content of the page. Once completed, click on the Save and Publish button at the bottom. Your new page is now published and ready for display and can be viewed by either menu link or direct access of the URL. Below is an example of the page we created in this tutorial.
Congratulations on creating your first Basic Page in Drupal 8! This is the quick and easy version, however. It did not cover how to change the URL alias of the page, add the page to a navigation menu, comment settings, or assign the content to the front page.

After posting 10 consecutive wins and going undefeated in 1A District 4 play, the South Walton Seahawk girl�s volleyball team has captured the district title and a chance to advance to the state tournament.
At 7 p.m., Nov. 5, the Seahawks, 14-7, will take the first step toward state when they square off against county-foe Freeport in the 1A Regional Semifinals at South Walton High.
"We really want to go to state," said team captain Katie Logan, who has played volleyball for the Seahawks four years. "I think we have a good chance if we stick together and do the fundaments. I think we'll be able to go."
And fundamentals are the name of the game for the Seahawks.
"Basically the more time we have with them, the better we are going to be," said Michael Emerick, one of three coaches who are working with the team. The other two coaches are Andrew Hock and Michael Nonnenmann.
Emerick and Hock came in late last year and had only three months to work with the team. Still they coached the Seahawks to an undefeated round in district play.
"We've had more time since then," Emerick said. "They have more understanding of our culture and our offense, defense and fundamentals � that's what has gotten us further this year."
In addition to this back-to-basics approach, Hock says their passing and service receiving is top of the line.
"We control the play, even on free balls we control the offense," Hock said when it comes to receiving serves. "We control the ball better than any school we've competed with � at least on a 1A scale.
"We have a couple of seniors that do that, and that's where I believe we control the game, that's how we've won the last 10 matches."
Two of the four seniors who are captains on the team are Sarah McManus and Logan.
"They were voted on by the team," said Nonnenmann. "As coaches we feel it is good for the team to elect their own leaders � who they feel represent the best leadership and who is the most outspoken and sets the best example.
"That's not to say that the other two seniors are not leaders," Nonnenmann said.
As a matter of fact, Nonnenmann said that Casey Perot is "both physically and emotionally a leader on the court and a huge contributor to how far we have gotten this year and a contributor to how far the remainder of the season will go." And outside hitter Hannah Crawford is also a big contributor.
And state is the goal for the Seahawks.
"If they play the way they know how to play � they'll win state," Emerick said.
"It's absolutely the goal and the focus," Nonnenmann said.
McManus said "chemistry" and "passing" are two of the big strengths of the team.
"We've improved a lot since our first game," said McManus who has also played four years for the Seahawks. "We have really good coaches, and that is awesome. Everybody works really hard."
Nevertheless, "Our goal right now is to beat Freeport, that's our focus. We'd like to go to state, but one game at a time."

German Chancellor Angela Merkel is making a southern trip, and this strategist sees the euro heading in the same direction.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel is heading to Greece, and she's not likely to get much of a reception.
But that is the least of her worries. Not only is the Greek economy in tatters, and Spain's is a mess as well. Meanwhile, Merkel is facing an election battle at home.
"What she doesn't want ahead of that election is for Europe to implode," says Rebecca Patterson, chief investment officer at Bessemer Trust. As a result, Patterson told CNBC's Melissa Lee, Merkel will probably "play nice" and work to support the euro at least until after she is reelected.
Maybe so, but that doesn't mean the common currency is out of the woods.
"There's still going to be a lot of uncertainty," says Kathy Lien, managing director at BK Asset Management. On top of the Merkel trip, euro zone finance ministers are meeting, Spain has regional elections, and more. So in trading terms, she says, "the risk is to the downside in the euro-dollar."

More often than not, our society marks an anniversary as a positive event, a day to celebrate something we take joy in remembering. There are exceptions though, more somber times when we recall things or people we've lost.
For wrestling fans, today falls into the latter category. It was exactly one year ago when Eddie Guerrero was found dead in his Minneapolis hotel room. At the time of his passing, the wrestling world came together to pay tribute to his life and his career. What's clear on this anniversary is that his absence is still being felt.
Obviously, Smackdown is a much different show without Guerrero on the roster. Various reports circulating a year ago suggested that Eddie was scheduled to win his first World Heavyweight title, which would have given the WWE a number of possible feuds to propel the show, which had switched to Friday nights in the U.S. just a few months earlier. Instead, Guerrero's death was the first of a number of hits to a talent pool already perilously short on star power.
But the WWE hasn't let Guerrero's memory fade away, using his name liberally on Smackdown over the past year. Certainly, it's impossible to consider Rey Mysterio's push, which included his Royal Rumble victory and his World Heavyweight Championship title win at WrestleMania 22, without recalling how he dedicated the run to his fallen friend. Critics have taken shots at the WWE for exploiting Eddie's tragedy, but watching the very real emotion shown by Mysterio over the past 12 months, it's tough to believe he would have willingly gone along with an angle if it was simply an attempt to cash in. One thing's for sure: Rey would gladly trade his title run for another day with Eddie.
Eventually, Mysterio and others close to Guerrero will have to move on, and in that respect the WWE hasn't been as successful. Had Rey simply dropped his title to Booker T, he would have paid his respects to his friend and gone on to his next challenge. Instead, Chavo Guerrero interfered and began a seemingly endless feud over who was doing the best job building on Eddie's legacy. When Eddie's widow Vickie became an active participant in the storyline, you started to understand where the critics were coming from. Now Chris Benoit has been drawn into the fray as well, and you have to wonder when enough is enough.
I'm not suggesting that the WWE never gets it right. Today on WWE.com, there are a pair of videos with Chavo, Ken Kennedy and Dean Malenko all sharing their thoughts on the anniversary. The company is also offering Eddie's final match for free online, which seems like a fitting tribute. It would be great to see even more free content, either through the website or through WWE 24/7, as it would give fans the opportunity to see the man doing what he does best one more time.
It would also be a real positive for the business if Guerrero's legacy was reflected in the form of more Latino champions down the road. We've already seen Eddie, Rey and Chavo wear various titles, and TNA has the L.A.X., so that's a good start. There are still plenty more Latino wrestlers out there in various promotions and lots of fans for them to represent. If anything, Eddie Guerrero stood out as an example of how hard work and determination in the face of obstacles -- even if you construct some of them for yourself -- really does pay off in the end. To honor that example and see it rewarded would be the best tribute wrestlers of all races and backgrounds could pay.
As for my own memorial to Guerrero, I simply looked back to the words I wrote in this space a year ago tomorrow and found everything I needed:
"Now that Eddie has become the latest wrestler to be taken from us at an unnaturally young age, I find myself thinking two things. The first is that, like an artist whose work goes on to find its largest audience after his or her death, the true measure of Guerrero's talent will live on even after he's gone. The word "great" is overused in our society, but Eddie's combination of physical skill and psychology made him a great professional wrestler, a trait that wasn't always appreciated during his career. It will be now, and that might be the lone silver lining to his sudden departure.
My second thought is hoping that the autopsy reveals that drugs and alcohol played no part in Eddie's death. For a man who worked so hard to overcome those problems and had been clean for years by all accounts, to succumb to them at the end would add an unnecessarily cruel twist to an already tragic story. I join fans everywhere in praying that this is not the case. Rest in peace, Eddie. You certainly deserve it. "
Those words are as true now as they were when I first typed them. This particular anniversary may seem like a sad one, but that doesn't have to be the case. One year later, the shock has subsided and the tragedy has lingered, but the appreciation we feel for the career and the impact of Eddie Guerrero can continue to grow for this and many more anniversaries to come.

Modbook, the Mac Tablet of Yore, Marches Back Into Action
Jun 29, 2012 6:00 AM PT
The Modbook Pro, a converted MacBook Pro that has been modified by Modbook and is billed as the first Mac tablet, is set to return to the market later in 2012 after an absence of several years.
Its predecessor, the Modbook, which was based on a MacBook, was one of the best-of-show winners at Macworld 2007.
Modbook basically takes a 13-inch MacBook Pro, strips off its enclosure, including the display and the keyboard and trackpad assembly, and slips what's left into its an enclosure with a screen and stylus interface.
The modification voids Apple's one-year warranty, so Modbook offers a limited one-year warranty of its own. However, it reportedly is still in the process of setting up authorized service centers. These will be announced before the device ships in early fall.
Modbook Pro Specs
The Modbook Pro's configurable base system has a 2.5 GHz dual core Intel Core i5 processor or a 2.9 GHz dual core Intel Core i7 processor. It also has up to 16 GB of RAM, a 2.5-inch SATA drive of up to 1 TB capacity, an Intel HD Graphics 4000 chipset, an 8x SuperDrive DVD burner, a built-in 64.5 WH lithium-polymer battery, and a 60 W MagSafe power adapter. It supports WiFi and Bluetooth.
A Modbook Pro tablet has a 13.3-inch display with 1280 x 800 pixel resolution and a ForceGlass screen that provides an etched drawing surface that simulates paper. Its Wacom digitizer delivers 512 levels of pen pressure sensitivity.
The device runs all Mac applications. Users can also run OS X's Boot Camp app to install 32- or 64-bit Windows 7.
The Modbook Pro serves as a standalone tablet.
Just Another USB Peripheral
The Modbook enclosure links to a MacBook Pro through one of the latter's two standard USB 3.0 ports. The enclosure seals the connection and the port within the Modbook Pro. All other ports remain accessible from the outside.
The Modbook Pro closely follows Apple's design guidelines for USB high-performance peripherals, Modbook says. The Mac modifier contends the Modbook Pro is essentially a fully standards-compliant USB device.
Dibs on Bragging Rights
"Is this [Modbook Pro] cool? Sure," Jeff Orr, a senior practice director at ABI Research, told MacNewsWorld. "But like anybody who makes custom enclosures for current laptops like jewel-encrusted ones, people will buy it because of that -- and I don't think it's going to be a good idea."
The Modbook Pro "has a very high cool factor, and Apple's base is filled with folks that chase stats," said Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group. "This product will carry a very high status aspect. Hell, I'm tempted to buy one."
Further, the Modbook Pro "is a device designed for the Mac OS and those who like to work with styluses," Enderle told TechNewsWorld. "It's a productivity tablet focused more on creation than consumption."
Too Much Focus Hurts
However, the Modbook Pro's extreme specialization might hurt its future.
"People are going to be asked to pay a premium for something that's going to have a very specialized purpose," ABI's Orr pointed out. "That's where I'm challenged. You could say this is a good OS, has a good application base, a good connection to the Internet, but how many people are there that really want it?"
On the other hand, the Modbook Pro's ability to run Windows 7 "also suggests it could run Windows 8," Enderle told MacNewsWorld. That "might provide a hedge if the user wanted to switch to Windows 8 either because they like it or because support sucked too much on this product."
Modbook did not respond to our request for comment.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - British-born author Christopher Hitchens on Wednesday cut short a book tour to undergo chemotherapy, which several media outlets reported was because the heavy smoker has been diagnosed with cancer.
"I have been advised by my physician that I must undergo a course of chemotherapy on my esophagus. This advice seems persuasive to me. I regret having had to cancel so many engagements at such short notice," Hitchens, 61, said in a statement released through his publishers Twelve.
A representative for the publisher offered no details beyond the statement.
Hitchens, known to be a heavy smoker, launched a book tour last month to promote his memoir "Hitch 22" which tackles subjects ranging from the Middle East and Zimbabwe to his friendships with prominent writers including Salman Rushdie and Martin Amis.
As a journalist, critic and war correspondent, Hitchens has carved out a reputation for barbed repartee, scathing critiques of public figures and a fierce intelligence.
In his 2008 book "God Is Not Great", Hitchens put himself on a collision course with major religions with his trenchant atheist views.
Hitchens was born in Britain, lives in Washington D.C., and retained his British citizenship when he also became an American citizen in 2007.

DONG Energy says it has erected two 6 MW Siemens offshore wind turbines at the site of the Gunfleet Sands III demonstration project in England.
According to Siemens, the installation was performed by an offshore wind installation vessel called 'Sea Installer.'
The turbines were already tested onshore at both the Hovsore test center and Osterild test center in Denmark, and they will now undergo a demonstration program at Gunfleet Sands. DONG Energy is preparing the turbines for operation and expects that they will start producing electricity in February.
In July 2012, DONG Energy and Siemens entered into a framework agreement for Siemens to supply a total of 300 6 MW wind turbines for DONG Energy's projects in England.
'With the new and almost twice as large wind turbines, we prospectively only need half the number of foundations and half the number of cables between the turbines compared to today," notes Morten Hultberg Buchgreitz, deputy CEO of DONG Energy.

This book is about a boy whose name is Sam. He finds a mysterious news article ripped from a newspaper. It says someone with the name of Sam Bell went missing from an orphanage in the thousand islands. Sam gets curious and thinks that he might be the boy that went missing from the orphanage. So after school every day he goes to the school library and researches on where the Thousand Islands are. He ends up having to do some extra work to get to the bottom of the mystery of who went missing from the orphanage that rainy night.
I think this book was okay. If I would rate it on a scale from one to ten I would give it a four. I think this book has a lesson in it, never give up. I think that that lesson is in Eleven because when Sam saw the article and got curious what did he do? He kept researching until he figured out what he wanted to know. I think you should read this book because it really makes you curious and interested. It was a good book for a mystery book. For a mystery book I would give it a four.

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — As March comes to a close, students will gather to tell the story of Passover, or the Jews' exodus from slavery in Egypt. Passover brings together families, friends and communities to reflect on themes of oppression and liberation through a symbolic meal and storytelling, a Seder. Passover at Penn State tends to draw more than 350 students, a number too large for just one Seder.
Penn State Hillel will offer seven Seder options this year, providing students with a more personalized experience that fits their specific interests as well as their comfort level with religious tradition.
"The themes of Passover are so universal. I knew we could reach a more diverse population of students," said Kayla Kahn, engagement coordinator for Penn State Hillel and the staff member behind this year's Passover initiative. "Because each Seder is student-led, the participants and leaders will both have an engaging and meaningful experience. The preparation leading up to the Seder is ultimately a model for leadership development."
Penn State Hillel will partner with a number of organizations to offer a variety of themes on Monday, March 25, the first night of Passover. Students and family may choose between an LGBT (Lesbian, Bisexual, Gay and Transgender) Seder, a Freedom Seder, a Women's Seder, a Traditional Conservative Seder and a quick liberal Seder. Co-sponsors include the LGBTA Student Resource Center, The Penn State Student Black Caucus, The Presidential Leadership Academy and The Lion Scouts. Students may also choose to hold their own Seder sponsored by Penn State Hillel. Jews in Greek Life, a Hillel organization, will offer a second-night Seder for interested students.
The Seders will take place at the Pasquerilla Spiritual Center at 7 p.m. Monday, March 25. Logistics will be coordinated by Penn State's Hotel, Restaurant and Institutional Management students and the Penn State Catering Club.
Penn State Hillel is the foundation for Jewish campus life. For more information, visit www.pennstatehillel.org.

The dinner, scheduled to coincide with the start of the deer hunt, was a revival of the traditional "Deer Hunter's Ball" which used to kick off the hunting season. More than 230 community members purchased tickets for dinner and door prizes.
Proceeds from the dinner were then combined with other funds raised earlier in the year by the club, resulting in a $5,000 check for the city.
According to Lance Hatch, club president of the Monticello Lions Club, "The Lions Club raises money throughout the year through a variety of events, including the traditional July 24th breakfast. While the funds are often used to provide scholarships and eyeglasses for the needy, this year the primary goal has been to help the community by contributing to the construction of the new pool."
Lions members thank everyone who contributed throughout the year to this important cause. You are truly helping Lions make a difference in our community."
The Monticello Lions Club has 28 members and meets on the second and fourth Tuesdays of each month at 7 p.m. at the Lions Club Building near the Fairgrounds.
Lions clubs are a group of men and women who identify needs within the community and work together to fulfill those needs. For more information or to get involved with the Monticello Lions Club, contact Lance Hatch at 587-1020 or Kraig Black at 587-3335.

Wednesday night at chilly Ken Dugan Field at Stephen L. Marsh Stadium the Bisons spotted Tennessee-Martin's Skyhawks a 5-1 lead in the first three innings and never were able to mount an offensive attack until the ninth inning when they scored three runs in a 10-6 loss.
Allen Bolden led the Bisons with two runs batted in, including a solo home run, his sixth of the season, in the fourth inning. Bolden, who had missed the last five games, returned as the designated hitter. He and Tyler Wilson each had two hits.
Freshman right-hander Davey Hackett, 0-2, started for the Bisons. In the first inning Mark Hartsfield singled to left field to bring in Cody Terry for a 1-0 lead for the Skyhawks. Terry had reached base on a double to left center to lead off the game.
Hackett was able to pitch his way out of a potentially dangerous inning, allowing only one run even though he was faced with runners on second and third with one out.
The Bisons tied the game in the first when Bolden singled to right field, driving home M.L. Williams who led off the inning with a double to right field.
UT-Martin scored two runs in the second inning when Scott Gladstone's drove a single through the left side, scoring Drew Mason and Kevin Holt. Mason had started the inning with a single up the middle. Holt was on base after a one-out double to left center.
In the third inning, Ty Nelson belted a two-run homer scoring Skyhawks pitcher Wes Patterson.
Patterson wouldn't give up a run to the Bisons until the fourth inning when Bolden connected on a ball that was sent over the right field wall making the game 7-2. UT-Martin would respond with two runs of their own in the fifth.
The Bisons threatened in the sixth inning. Tyler Wilson singled and went to second on an error by Patterson. Bolden was hit by a pitch, putting runners on the corners for the Bisons, but Patterson got Branden Cadavid to ground out to first for the final out.
The Skyhawks used a big seventh inning to distance themselves from the Bisons, scoring three runs. Mason's singled to left to score Nelson and Miles Hartsfield. Mason scored on a ground out to the second baseman by Terry.
The Bisons mounted another offensive threat in the eighth inning, but it was short-lived. M.L. Williams scored on a fielder's choice to cut the lead to 10-3, but the Bisons would leave runners at second and third with Andrew Nickerson's fly out to center field.
After holding the Skyhawks scoreless in the ninth inning, the Bisons offense finally heated up in their last at bat. Logan Hostettler started the inning by doubling to deep right field. He advanced to third on Antonio Butler's slow rolling single through the left side. Wilson's single through the right side sent Hostettler across the plate. Justin Sanders singled through the left side to drive in Butler. Bolden took a pitch off his right thigh to move down to first, pushing Sanders to second.

An update regarding very fast answers
"I continue to wonder how fast some people manage to submit. Like "Neha Jain", only three seconds to check three questions before hitting the submit button. How's that possible even when realizing that of course no question text could possibly be read. I've used to period-type "Week" report to get to the conclusion above. The same holds for the next conclusion: Well, Neha just answered one question this week. But what about Alen Oblak, nr 23 Overall Rank. Just 37 seconds to answer all four questions (almost without error) this week? What can we learn from Alen ? I was getting curious because every day on 'Past Quizzes' the maximum score of the day is mentioned, which is always higher than reasonably possible for anyone not just hitting some buttons very quick at random."
At first, I hesitated to include the names this player mentions in his email, but that's the beauty of the way I am running the PL/SQL Challenge (not to sound boastful :-) ). We are open about this data so everyone can see - and wonder the same things.
When we upgraded to 1.4, I published a change in the rules that sent out a rather severe warning to people who submit very fast answers. I plan within the next week or so to apply these rules (and a modification of them, which will be published in the Rules section this weekend with the ugprade to 1.5).
Here's the bottom line: you are about to see significant changes in the rankings of players who seem to be able to consistently play the quiz dramatically faster than even I (a PL/SQL expert and author of the quizzes) am able to simply read my own questions.
As I have mentioned in earlier blog postings, I suppose it is theoretically possible for someone who is an incredible speed reader; amazing PL/SQL expert; and very lucky individual to answer much faster than I can manage, but that behavior cannot be distinguished from those who cheat. So all I can do, to preserve the credibility of the PL/SQL Challenge, is discourage players from following that pattern.
So, my friends, just a little bit more patience and then those rankings will start to make a bit more sense.
In fact, again for the sake of transparency, you will find below my plans for adjusting timings, scores and rankings for VFAs (very fast answerers). Feel free to let me know what you think.
Planned Algorithm
1. I record the time it takes me to quickly answer each quiz. I consider this a reasonable minimum (RM), since it is actually an aggressive score, as I know PL/SQL pretty well and I also wrote the quiz (making it hard to avoid rapidly identifying the correct and incorrect answers).
2. Every two weeks (10 quizzes), I identify all players whose total time is less than mine (call them TFP, too fast players). I choose every two weeks because (a) I don't want to compare and adjust/punish on a daily basis. I need to allow that some people will know a feature better than me and answer more quickly and (b) 10 quizzes should be enough to reveal a pattern. Over two weeks, I would expect my RM to be around 300 seconds or 30 seconds per quiz on average.
3. For each TFP, if the delta is within 10 seconds, I do nothing; that's close enough and nothing to worry about.
4. If TFP is more than 10 secs faster, then for every 10 seconds faster (or portion thereof), I add 60 seconds to the time for each quiz answered faster than I did on each day.
So if my RM is 300 seconds and a person answers in 280, and 5 of the scores are less than mine, then their overall time with increase by 5 minutes or so (5 x 1 x 60 = 300). This should be enough to cause a dramatic decrease in their ranking and be a substantial incentive to SLOOOOW down or stop cheating. If they only had a couple of too fast answers and the others are reasonable, then the impact on their is lessened.
Your thoughts?

Here's my idea for an algorithm that is less subjective (not based solely on a single individual's opinion of the correct "cut-off time", but is also adjusted on actual time taken by each individual player vs. other players). Any numbers/percentages given below should be adjusted to best fit the algorithm to an analysis of the actual existing data.ReplyDelete
After the completion of the day's quiz, start by taking a set of FPs (Fast Players) by taking the fastest 200 players or fastest 10% of players for the day (The sample taken should be at least twice as large as the number of suspected TFPs). This could also be done by taking all players whose time was less than say 45 or 60 seconds, or perhaps your reasonable Minimum (RM) + 5 or 10 seconds, as beyond that time you will have players who are doing more than reading & answering the questions based on their existing knowledge (reading documentation, testing code blocks, etc.)
Now, determine the average (mean) time taken by all identified FPs for the day, take take a percentage of this (say 50%) to the nearest second, then add a 2 second grace period to the minimum non-cheating time for the day.
Anything under the non-cheating time should be penalized by seconds as you have suggested, and anyone 50% or more under the adjusted minimum time should be scored as 0.
The averaging and grace period should help to separate the likely cheaters from "honest" TFPs, as questions that are able to be answered much more quickly (and therefore more players are likely to answer quickly) will penalize less players because the adjusted minimum time will be lowered.
If you could make every single player see a different answer set for a particular question, it would be very very hard to cheat. However, this causes you to work far more harder on the questions' background.
For example, for a question, let me see 3 options that are totally incorrect; other player can see 5 options: 1 correct, 4 incorrect; the other may see 6 options: 4 correct, 2 incorrect.
Ideally, every player must see a different answer set for a question but this is too difficult to do, so you can prepare 5 or 6 different answer sets and every player may get 1 out of possible ones. This may reduce the possibility of cheaters' cooperation.
That is a fascinating idea - and, I must admit, well beyond our ability/bandwidth to implement right now. Perhaps someday....
One issue with Bora's suggestion is that, someone offered 5 options in the quiz can get a better score than someone with only 4 options since each option earns you points if you successfully say whether it is right or wrong.ReplyDelete
Personally, I'd let them get through to the quarterly challenge (or a 'Fastest Gun' challenge at the same time) and see if they can reproduce their results when there's no chance of cheating the timing algorithm.
If they are the Usain Bolt's of the PL/SQL world, then so be it. If they are the Ben Johnson's, then that'll show them up.
I would like to see, on the 'previous quiz' page, the percentage of people who got any choice right/wrong. It would be good to see where people's mis-conceptions lie.

Two for the Price of One!
"Hey y'all, it's Meg, here today with a special deal for just for you. I'm going to show you how to get -yes, TWO!- cards for the price of one. Now, I know what you're thinking, 'Meg, is it difficult to make two cards at once?' "
"Oh, my, that was just what I was thinking! So is it difficult?"
"Not at all, Suzy Stamper! You can accomplish this in just three easy steps!"
"Wow, I've seen two-for-one cards with as many as fifteen steps and you're telling me we can make them in three? I've got to see this!"
"Well, prepare to be amazed as we start with the first step. All you need to do is arrange the leaf diecuts on a 4.25 x 5.5 card base in Silhouette Studio and cut the whole thing out of orange cardstock."
"That seems easy enough. But what if I don't have a Silhouette at home?"
"We've thought of that, too! You could easily download and trace a leaf image to cut, use a similar leaf die cut, or even trace a real leaf."
"A real leaf! What will you think of next? Now what is step two?"
"Step two is really simple...stamp Market Street's Cane onto your card base and then Market Street's Bit of Burlap onto the negative left from cutting out the leaves, as well as each leaf."
"Each leaf!? But that could take days!"
"Well, it could if you weren't using a Market Street background stamp, but since Market Street's backgrounds are card-sized, you can stamp all of the leaves in one go! What used to take weeks now takes seconds!"
"Wow! Those stamps sound amazing! Does the background also stamp the sentiment?"
"Ok, they are amazing but not magical, Suzy Stamper. If you want a sentiment on your leaf, stamp it first, then cover it with some removable tape before stamping the burlap. This sentiment came from Autumn Greetings."
"Oh, I see. I bet I could handle that!"
"I bet you could, Suze! Then the final step is just to adhere the leaves to the card base!"
"But wait, you said we would get TWO cards! What's the secret?"
"Well, the secret is the 'trash' left over from cutting out your leaves! Layer it over another stamped card base and ta-da!"

And if you buy now, you can get four stamps for the price of two (for all those times you need two identical stamps--LOL!).
I thought you were smoking something until I got to the "what used to take weeks..." sentence. Then I caught on. I'm watching Dancing With the Stars so it's killing brain cells.
Love the cards! I love those bg stamps--great impression.

That's it, I'm leaving...
OK, not really. This was still terrifically funny. If the teenagers in your classes ever get over themselves, I bet they think you're the best teacher ever.
And besides all that, these cards rock. I cannot wait to get my hot little hands on my MSS stamps so I can be like Meg :)

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Brady Quinn said this week he has been cleared to play Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals after missing two games with a concussion.
His coach, Romeo Crennel, told reporters a different tale Wednesday morning.
Quinn hasn't been cleared by doctors, according to Crennel, who announced Matt Cassel will make his third consecutive start after being benched in favor of Quinn last month. Quinn made his first start since 2009 in a Week 6 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, only to suffer a head injury in Week 8 against the Oakland Raiders.
"(Quinn is) feeling a lot better, doing a lot better," Crennel said. "If he makes it through the week without incident, then he can be cleared for the weekend."
Crennel has backed off promises that Quinn would keep his starting job upon his return. Crennel told reporters if Quinn makes it back this week, he'll compete with Ricky Stanzi for the backup role.
Either way, the Bengals are licking their chops. None of the quarterbacks in Kansas City have shown any ability to rescue this team from the 1-8 forest they've wandered into.
