Post subject: about R
Since you ask where the name "R" came from, here is a little history. Starting in the mid 1970's, statisticians at Bell Laboratories developed a new language interpreter which they called "S" to tie together statistical calculation routines, mostly in Fortran. It is one of the earlier large programs written in "C", which the people down the hall were developing along with the UNIX operating system at the time. I understand "C" itself is so called because its predecessor was "B". By the mid 1990's, a commercial version called S-PLUS held a large market share for statistical software (rivalling SAS). It is still sold.
R was developed starting about 1997 (by two professors in New Zealand) as a free alternative, reimplementing the S language with new code. As for the name, it is clearly a takeoff on "S". Remember the computer HAL in Kubrick's 2001? Also, the first names of the two professors are Robert and Ross. True, it is not a good name for searching on. R is at this time arguably the dominant statistical calculation system in use; its maintainers are the top people in the statistical computing field. The best source of information on it is its home page www.r-project.org.
Emil, thank you for providing newer versions of R and Octave for the community. Another you might go after is the econometrics and time series program gretl. To date, I've been using precompiled versions (for Red Hat EL4) which the home sites for R and gretl provide.

You're putting words in my mouth
I was familiar with most of that

Yes, I didn't think it was that great for finding tutorials and examples, particularly involving different extensions, but it's a while since I looked, and maybe I missed something... like maybe the R reference index
Do you know a good
program? Please post a link

Hello math-lovers,
Over the last weeks I have spent some time to get Basic Mathematic Packages working in Puppy Linux 431...
- standard package for statistics...
the pet files also include
GNU Lisp
(glc) and
GNU Fortran
That's my immediate response in my mother tongue that, when translated to everyday English means that you are to be celebrated and held in awe for your efforts and abilities beyond those of us mere mortals. I've been waiting ages for an update on the R package for Puppy, and you've picked up from where cb88 (and his "Mathpup") and debernadis (and his redoubtable "Rudypuppy") left off. THANK YOU!
Now I've confessed my linux-illiteracy I also confess my statistical ineptitude - do you have any tips on running Rcmdr (R Commander - a GUI for statistical and R newbies) from within Puppy? I was using R and Rcmdr under wine or trying the deb version under gposil's dpup477 (retro version), but it will be a few weeks before I can try your R pet and download Rcmdr under the CRAN repositories for myself - I wonder whether the installation of such R packages from within standard (non-dpup) Puppy might encounter problems.
Bugger it - downloading now into dpup, I'll give it a go myself...
Meantimes Dingo, many thanks indeed for your Aladdin's Cave of resources at Dokupuppy. Has been incredibly useful to me in the past - only place to find sketchman's original CUpup, for example - your mirror is most appreciated.
In R's case, I hope that it makes it into the official Puppy repositories.

Post subject: Response and some notes on the compile process
Subject description: Bloody Ripper :) - not really
I must hold myself back from doing gretl (actually I had already downloaded the source). There seem to be some dependencies and I have to refocus my time schedule.
In my opinion it is highly remarkable, that for 2 letters out of 26 (C, R) the nr 1. find in google are programming languages (7.7 %)
. - It has become a tower of Babel imho.
@ carolus
Thank you for this great
link !
@ Puppyt
I am happy about the enthusiastic response
actually my abbilities are not that impressive. Puppy Linux is my first real POSIX experience (a very pleasent one, that for sure). What really IS impressive is that I could build those programs and that I had fun doing it!
you've picked up from where cb88 (and his "Mathpup") ... left off.
I found the
Mathpup - thread
when I searched for a usable octave. pet. I must admit the negative aftertone of this threat was my sole inspiration to compile R and Maxima. This thread still comes up top when you google for
Puppy Linux Mathematic
. Just to defend Puppy Linux from a math-deficit repute.
In contrary: In the course of posting this I googled out that the SAGE Project (big comprehensive open source math project) used Puppy Linux as technology platform (for live CD and SAGE on Windows/Mac in a Virtual Box). They changed to a minimal Ubuntu though in the meantime.
About documentation and learning
Those packages are mighty tools, not solutions. The software-technical-aspect is in most cases the easier side of problems (sorry, no 'kings way' to the math). Best approach is learning by doing, i.e. use the software for actual problem-solving. Above the average level of tinkering and googling and a steep learning curve is to be expected. That said, if anyone finds a particular helpful tutorial for beginners post a link here. Everything advanced should go to the specialist forums or mailing lists.
About compiling:
I really encourage everyone to compile from source. it is not that big a problem, most of the time. I found that in many cases it is even faster than googling lots for existing packages. To often you will end up with old packages which are not working. Finding the right mix between compiling and googling is the key. After installing the devx.svs it is basically 3 steps:
download and unzip source
read readme/install files
follow the instructions
In most cases it will be as simple as
new2dir make install
to get a pet. With the exception of Octave all those packages were easy to build. Most important are the GNU compilers of the languages, great work those guys are doing! Math packages use similar stuff (fortran, Blas, gnuplot, Lisp), so step by step adding additional packages becomes easier because you already have those installed.
The configure process gave lots of warnings. The only package I added was glpk. All other warnings I ignored (in the end, because after much tinkering I couldnt get rid of them).
Warning: I tried to use optimized BLAS, but it was a big waste of time, because Atlas-package is machine dependent and a real time eater (it compiles the library over and over with different compiler settings, benchmarks them and then chooses the best settings).
Possible improvements:
I couldnt get gotoblas, which is machine independent. I also failed to link FFTW (fourier transform) and Metis (sparse matrix) packages, but those are needed for cutting edge speed. For the graphics I sticked to gnuplot, there are other alternatives but what I learned from the octave forums gnuplot is a good choice.
: get Lisp (glc) first, then ./configure, make, install - and then add disciples wxmaxima pets.
: was just ./configure, make, install on my full install (I was stunned - but on the other hand: this is really a well tended plant in the garden of free code!). On my frugal test install I had to add the libiconv.lib, but that was all.
So it should be no problem to recompile if new versions appear.
Future projects
As mentioned I have to cut back on this math stuff but If I find time I would be interested to see GEOGEBRA work (Excellent tool for classroom maths, but in Java). It should work out of the box with installing Java in your puppy but more interesting would be to compile the package with GJC ...
I had already a go on YACAS, this is really small (puppy size) and - just an idea - replace some of the numerous calculators with this tiny CAS in future puppy releases?
It would be a privilege to but those packages in the official repositories, but I think somebody more experienced should have a closer look (to trim the fat and maybe put those into a .sfs file alternativly)
all the best

Post subject: YACAS
I tried Yacas, which sounds very interesting beeing such small size.
But this
is rather dated and the pet doesn't work in my puppy 431.
So I recompiled and its working, even below 1MB.
Download it at:

I have an issue that del-key is not working as expected. Do you also get this?

Post subject: gretl
As you have suspected I couldn't resist to compile gretl (
@ Minimatter).
It comes as a
tar - package
(21 MB) which consists of
fftw-3.3.3.pet (Fast Fourier transform)
gfortran-4.2.2pet (fortran compiler - same as in octave package)
gnuplot-4.2.5-i486.pet (gnuplot - same as in octave package)
gsl-1.13-i486.pet - (GNU scientific library - some functions are needed)
lapack-3.2.1-i686.pet -(Linear Algebra Package)
libxml2-2.7.2-i486.pet - (XML Library)
please try it, hope it works for you
I will also edit the original post.
Comments on the build:
Lapack is machine specific, just run make. Two static Libraries are created in the directory Lapack_LINUX.a and BLAS_Linux.a. Those have to go to /usr/lib and must be renamed to liblapack.a and libblas.a to be found by gretl.
(I had put them in a pet with the correct directories).
Although I had lapack and blas installed and the configure ran without error gretl complained at missing dependencies while linking (something about the blas c interface). I googled and then I added the GNU Scientific Library.
Then it worked.
other packages were ./configure make make install type.

Thank you again!
I hope these will all be available in the usual pet repositories soon.
Everyone should be aware that with:
R and Octave as high-powered numerical interpreters,
gnuplot for graphics (used by Octave and gretl; R has its own graphics),
gretl as a good regression/time series system in its own right, and also useful as a front-end preparing data for R (even from the gnumeric spreadsheet),
maxima and/or yacas symbolic manipulation programs
we now have a good selection of the most important available mathematical software.
ps. Yes indeed emil, yacas misuses the del-key showing me 3 followed by a raised ~ ; similar behavior for page-up, page-down, insert, and keys on the numeric keypad. Seems to be in their own mini-readline.

Post subject: Sage
Subject description: comprehensive open source math suite
Sage is the most comprehensive open source math suite, really huge.
It is based on numerous existing packages (e.g. Maxima and R are contained inside) and it uses python. The webbrouser can be used to create a notebook (Mathematica style).
It seems there are tutorials and good dokumentation available at
I have made an sfs file, it is big (390 MB) but if you want to do serious maths this should be the ultimate open source package.
405022d49a388969fb65276261ff4e63 sage-4.3.1.sfs
Frugal install:
copy it to your /mnt/home/ directory and add it to the list in your Bootmanager (Menu/System/Bootmanager configure bootup) then reboot.
Full install (from puppy homepage):
1. Click on the sage-4.3.1.sfs in a ROX-Filer window to mount it.
2. Open a terminal in the mounted directory.
3. # cp -a --remove-destination ./* /mnt/hda2/
4. # sync
5. Close the terminal.
6. Click on the sage-4.3.1.sfs file to unmount it
Note, the '--remove-destination' option is essential. If you only use '-f' to force overwrite, it will follow (dereference) a symlink, that can cause unexpected overwrites.
open terminal and start it with
As the other packages this is not tested much, basics seemed OK. I had troubles with command plot3d, obviously this uses the webbrouser and a package which needs Java. I had java installed and enabled in Seamonkey - I dont know whats wrong.
Sage is huge and heavy, not really puppy Linux like, but there is definitly power in it. I am a bit ashamed about the size but I didn't dare to remove anything.
comment on the build:
In the sage mission statement the goal of an easy build is expressed. Although by far the biggest of those math packages it was the easiest to build, perfect scripts and foolproof readme! It needed 2 hours to compile though on my box.
This was compiled on a Intel Pentium III, since sage uses the opimizing Atlas packages for building BLAS it may be worth to recompile from source on other machines - it is easy.
Edit: This package is compiled without Latex, if you have Latex installed and want to recompile Sage: it is looking for "Latex" ("latex" wont work) so put a Symlink if necessary.
This will be the last one about math for some time,

Don't count out Python for math. With SciPy / NumPy it is an extremely robust mathematical application.
You also have Matplotlib for graphics / charts. Even embed in GUI's...
and pyGTK for GUI
And if you need symbolics theres a module for that too but I have found Yacas to be a nice program. Quick, Dirty and Light...

Post subject: Math Python Modules
brad_chuck thanks for your comment and hint. I have packaged
gfortran-4.2.2.pet - gfortran compiler and library
gnuplot-4.2.5-i486.pet - gnuplot for graphics
gnuplot-py-1.8-i686.pet - Python / gnuplot interface
ipython-0.1.0-i686.pet - ipython (improved python shell)
numpy-1.4.0-i686.pet - NumPy python numeric module
python-2.6.4-i386.pet - python interpreter
scipy-0.7.1-i686.pet - SciPy python scientific module
sympy-0.6.6-i686.pet - SymPy python Symbolic math module
installing those pets should give you a working Python Math environment.
Together with Python 2.6.4 I included also the complete gfortran.pet, probably you would only need the dynamic library (gfortran.so or similar). For plotting graphs I have included the gnuplot-py Library and gnuplot.- this works reasonable well.
How to start:
There is an entry in the menu/utilities for ipython. Or type
in terminal window. For convenience it is possible to
symlink python2.6 with python in the usr/bin directory.
How to work:
start ipython (Menu/utilities), then import the libraries e.g. like this (there are different possibilites to import them - it influences your python namespace):
In [1]: import numpy
In [2]: import scipy
In [3]: import sympy
In [4]: import Gnuplot
For scripting
offers a very good and lightweight "IDE"
ecomended settings
Menu Edit -> preferences ->Tools->
xterm -e bash -c
Menu Build ->Set Includes and arguments
ipython -c "import py_compile; py_compile.compile('%f')"
Execute: ipython "%f"
First help and documentation:
The homepages of the projects offer pretty good starting points (just google). Exception is Gnuplot-py. You find very little usefull information - best is to study the
in the
/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/Gnuplot directory.
Maybe it is noteworthy that SAGE contains and uses all of those python packages.
This was made on Puppy 431, probably it works on all 4xx versions. I had no time on extensive tests though, please report any problems.
About Gtk & matplotlib
I couldnt include the gtk Libraries and matplotlib as you suggested. I had some conflicts with different Libraries header files (compiled ok, but gave errors at runtime). I also tried these
existing pets
but somhow it didn't work for me. So if anybody get gtk and matplotlib going please share it.
About installing
NumPy, SciPy and Sympy are easy to install from source. They use
a python install script. After download it can be done with:
installwatch -o logfile.txt python setup.py install
do install the package. If there are more than 1 python environemts present, the packages will be installed in every python version (E.g. Sage uses Python 2.5). For each package a subdirectory in the
/usr/lib/python2.x/site-packages/ is created. For the creation of the pets I basically used those subdirectories.

California Home with Provençal Style
Vintage materials and a commitment to quality make a new home feel centuries old—in a good way
Irvine, California, may not be the first locale that comes to mind when referencing Provençal-style architecture, but that was hardly a deterrent for Gerald and Theresa Alexander. One peek at the cornflower-blue shutters, terra-cotta tile roof, and nuanced stonework of the château-inspired home they share with their two children, and you'll swear you've been transported to the lush, rolling hills of Provence—minus the jet lag.
The home was inspired by Château des Alpilles in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, France.
Architectural designer, and builder: Rob Glass, Glass Residential Group, 2461 Santa Monica Blvd., Suite 522, Santa Monica, CA 90404; 949/910-0328, glassresgroup.com.
Interior designer: Ohara Davies-Gaetano, Bliss Design Firm, 3321 East Coast Hwy, Corona del Mar, CA 92625; 972/740-5273 and 949/566-9390, blissdesignfirm.com.
Provençal Style
That's due much to the vision of builder and architectural designer Rob Glass and the inspiration he drew from a visit to the Château des Alpilles—an early-19th-century manor house turned hotel—in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence.
"Rob has a keen eye for truly making a home feel soulful and not too new," says interior designer Ohara Davies-Gaetano, who worked alongside Glass to execute Gerald and Theresa's concept. "This house conjures emotions of being in a place far away."

Bench: custom.

Hanging light ("Loire" #4009): Paul Ferrante, paulferrante.com.
Planters: Poterie de la Madeleine, poterie.com.
Those emotions lean heavily on reclaimed materials—Dalle de Bourgogne stone, antique flooring, hand-carved doors, 19th-century limestone fireplaces, and vintage door hardware—chosen by Glass and used throughout the home. Authenticity was the cornerstone of the home's architectural design, with no detail overlooked. Even new elements like the interior plasterwork were painstakingly crafted to re-create the look and feel of 19th-century Europe.
Limestone, reclaimed beams, and French doors create a dramatic space.

Great Room
"Gerald and I love the comfortable, homey feel of older Provence-style homes," Theresa says. "This is a large house, but it doesn't feel palatial because of the Old World materials Rob chose. It has a warm, inviting feel."
When it came to the home's softer edges, Davies-Gaetano was enlisted to translate the Francophile vision into textiles, color schemes, furnishings, and artwork. The palette is appropriately Provençal, with varicolored shades of that region's ubiquitous blue strategically introduced throughout the home—from the welcoming shutters to the slightly richer jewel tone on velvet-clad armchairs, sofas, and tufted ottomans.
In the great room, linens play off rough-hewn beams and coarse Dalle de Bourgogne stone walls. A pair of custom-made wool rugs in neutral shades simultaneously complement and soften the stone walls. A gilded cloud formation over the antique limestone mantel plus elegant side tables add polish while a pair of low-slung armchairs dressed in a dusty blue fabric provide color against the backdrop of the large-scale fireplace.
Designer Ohara Davies-Gaetano incorporated subtle shots of blue on the armchairs as counterpoints to the stone walls and neutral linens.

"It's not too bold but bold enough. Not too pale but not too strong," Davies-Gaetano says. "Washed-out textiles were paired with more exaggerated tones, all the while with a sense of quiet as the underlying theme."
To accentuate the home's natural materials, textures, and grand dimensions, furnishings and fabrics were kept intentionally subdued. The result is elegant and refined.
Instilling a sense of assembled history into the house was one of Davies-Gaetano's aims: "Since the architecture and the construction of the home were executed so well—truly creating the feeling you were in a home in the South of France—I wanted the decor to really feel like a collection of items, both new and old, collected from various parts of the world."

Dining Room
In the groin-vaulted dining room, seemingly disparate objects create a cohesive space. A delicate yet impactful chandelier adds a hint of romance and tames the arched ceiling and overscale custom table.

Much of that living takes place in the family's stone-clad kitchen, where French farmhouse collides head-on with modern America. Woven rush stools gather around a large island ideal for family time and homework. Cabinets with a gesso finish merge with limestone walls. Materials—from the Parefeuille floors to the aged Massangis limestone counters-—add a lived-in quality that suggests another place and time.

Master Bedroom
In the master bedroom, a sophisticated mix of furnishings and a quiet palette play against a breathtaking view that, if one squints, could almost be of French vineyards and fields of lavender. "We told Ohara that we wanted muted colors—blues, taupes, and ivories," Theresa says. "She created this space that was exactly what we wanted, peaceful and serene."
A palette of blue, green, taupe, and ivory plays against the rolling hills visible from the balcony. A custom four-poster, a chandelier from Paul Ferrante, and Cowtan & Tout draperies enhance the home's Francophile vibe.

NYCbeautyco needed a new print or packaging design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 37 designs submitted by 12 freelance designers.
Georgie Beauty
Georgie Beauty is an eco-luxe cosmetics company that is preparing to launch its inaugural product, Winks by Georgie, a line of classic faux lashes and the first botanically-infused lash adhesive. Abbey and Megan, Georgie cofounders (and sisters!), are inspired by the classic beauty trends of golden Hollywood -- from Monroe to Hepburn to Bardot. Beauty that is sexy, sophisticated, and timeless. The company tagline is "Reinventing the Classics" because Georgie focuses on updating classic beauty products for a new generation by offering safe, sustainable ingredients and recycled, refillable packaging.
Women ages 18 - 45. Think women who shop at Sephora, Barneys, Bergdorf, Bloomies, Bendels, and Neiman Marcus. Our target audience is into beauty and fashion. She isn't afraid to try the latest trend in fashion or a bold red lipstick. She reads Vogue, Elle, and Glamour. She goes to cocktail parties, weddings, etc.
Although there is an existing market for false lashes (makeup artists, beauty bloggers, experimental beauty consumers, etc.), Georgie seeks to expand this market by targeting the everyday woman. With this beautiful piece, we seek to entice the everyday woman, draw her in, inspire her, and (most importantly) make her realize that false lashes are absolutely necessary to re-create the sexy, classic looks in the photos.
Georgie would like a one-page layout of photos, logo, and limited text (all provided) that will serve as an "inspiration page" in the company's sales kit.
As an example, please refer to Milly's online inspiration page: http://www.millyny.com/Michelles-St…spiration/
However, please note that Milly's online inspiration page is provided only to give designers an idea of the subject matter. We expect our design and layout to be much different than this example (i.e., more creative and artistic!)
Note on attached files: The fan attached is used throughout our packaging and is currently being integrated into our web site design (http://www.georgiebeauty.com). The Which magazine image has been a favorite inspiration for several years because of the uniqueness, sophistication, timeless nature, luminous, eye-catching color, etc. The only color we utilize a lot is a taupe color as seen on our web site, but we have integrated "pops" of color including the green in Which magazine and a fuchsia.
We realize the images are low dpi and not ideal for print, but I think they'll work if the photos are kept small. We're really just looking for an 11 x 8.5 design.
Lastly, we're open to creativity - feel free to add your own sketches, photos that have the same look as the ones we've uploaded, etc.

SOURCE: World Moto, Inc.
December 26, 2012 16:03 ET
BANGKOK, THAILAND--(Marketwire - Dec 26, 2012) - World Moto, Inc. (OTCBB: FARE) (OTCQB: FARE) (Berlin: WM7) (Berlin: A1J8SY) ("World Moto" or the "Company") is pleased to announce today it has introduced a comprehensive roadmap to advance and professionalize the global motorcycle taxi industry. Changing the way the world goes around, World Moto is a global authority on the $500 billion dollar a year motorcycle taxi industry and inventor of the Moto-Meter, the world's first motorcycle taxi meter.
The roadmap defines the path to bring the global motorcycle taxi fleet to a fully reliable, accessible and integrated component of a community's critical mobility and commercial infrastructure. Motorcycle taxis in most countries today operate across a wide range of cooperative systems from fully independent and ad-hoc to loosely organized depending on country and region. The roadmap lays out a series of technologies and capabilities that will be introduced over the coming years to reshape this organically grown system into a more efficient, manageable structure for governments, communities, drivers and the public.
"The potential that the current motorcycle taxi fleets represent is enormous, and the similarities of the industry to the early days of the internet cannot be ignored," stated CTO Chris Ziomkowski. "One of the most serious problems hindering their growth at the moment is the difficulty the consumer has in finding the right driver for a given task at the right place and establishing a trusted relationship with him. Much as Amazon has professionalized the chaos that was early e-commerce on the internet, World Moto is diligently working to professionalize the mototaxis that entwine the local commerce ecosystem."
Details on the roadmap will be provided to motorcycle taxi operators and drivers, governments, and the general public over the coming months. Elements of the World Moto roadmap include:
Highlights of many of these elements are currently available at World Moto's website (www.worldmoto.com).
About World Moto

World Moto has revolutionized the taxi industry by inventing the Moto-Meter, a landmark device that CNN, Newsweek, Wired, Moneylife, among others, are calling "the world's first motorcycle taxi meter" and "world's first portable taxi meter" and "first-ever black box for motorcycles," while the Times named it "one of the most significant innovations of this decade" and Fast Company declared it "The First Real Taxi Meter Innovation in 100 Years...a $3 billion dollar idea."

Standardized tests on content are no longer viable.
The web allows for personalization,
which provides the optimal learning space,
making personal learning networks a viable standard for public education.
standardized tests.
[note that tests as we know them are generally trashed after the fact… they are noun. 21st cent assessment needs to be verb… or we're assessing the wrong thing]We need to implement a new means for validation and assessment in the public school setting of whether or not authentic learning is being optimized.
A suggested model for a standard in each classroom, in each school, in each district,…:
- does the student have appropriate bandwidth and speed?
- does the student have a *tool (of choice) for web access?
- is the student given **appropriate time in the day to use 1 and 2 above?
*1-1 is a good solution, but not 1 size fits all, students should be given a choice of a laptop or ipod or ipad, depending on what they already do or don't have, and what their web/tech needs will be
2. process
3. connectivity
- expert individual tutors
- mentors/peers with like passion/interest/goal
- necessary info or tech use
Because it is the process that is the standard… #1 and #2 above address all contents and all grade levels
#3 addresses all contents and all grade levels, but the connections will be at varying degrees
ie: kindergarten… discussing face to face personal learning networks… why you group with the kids you group with, who is your expert tutor, what info/help do you get from each.
The same thing needs to happen in higher ed and in careers.
We need to start asking if the way we have always done things, (you get this job if you have this paper of proof), is still our optimal strategy.
*We think a good first step in redefining school is to remove the barrier of standardized tests.
{*A group of 30+ students and I experimenting and researching this last year – ways to redefine school. This new standard within a 4 year model to redefine school have been – and are our ongoing findings/beliefs.}
Please help tweak these thoughts… or find major holes we're missing…

Freedom to Marry celebrates decade of marriage momentum with 'Cheers to 10 Years'
April 30, 2014
This week, on Monday, April 28, Freedom to Marry celebrated its tenth anniversary – and the tenth anniversary of marriage between same-sex couples in the United States – at Cheers to 10 Years: Celebrating Freedom to Marry. The event, held at the Signature Theatre in New York and sponsored by Skyy Vodka, featured a creative showcase of music, dance, and film (produced by Peter Spears). It celebrated how far the campaign to win marriage nationwide has come in the last decade while encouraging supporters to look toward the finish line and work harder than ever toward a final victory.
Master of Ceremonies Cynthia Nixon (below, left) kicked off the night by reflecting on the long history of the marriage movement, tracking the long list of wins – 40% of the country now lives in a marriage state, a diverse majority of Americans now supports marriage for all, and the core of the so-called Defense of Marriage Act has been struck down, thanks to the tenacious, creative and collaborative work of marriage supporters.
Nixon recalled her own wedding vows to her wife Christine from May 2012. She said, "The amazing thing about Christine and my story is that it's no longer unique. The tale of our nuptials is just one of tens of thousands of stories, each as special and compelling as the rest, and each made possible, in no small part, because of Freedom to Marry."
Margaret Hoover (above, right) - CNN political contributor, best-selling author, and a leading chair of Young Conservatives for the Freedom to Marry – took the stage next to talk about why marriage matters to her as a conservative and to introduce Freedom to Marry founder and president Evan Wolfson.
"Cynthia made reference earlier to Evan's uncanny ability to persevere in the face of anything," Hoover said, adding, "It makes me think she's been in his office. For those of you who haven't, he has a saying, framed on the wall. It's Mahatma Gandhi and it says: 'First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.'"
She continued: "Well, Evan, no one's laughing at you now. All that's left is the fight." Read her full remarks HERE.
Evan Wolfson joined Hoover on stage, welcomed by a standing ovation from the hundreds of marriage supporters who filled the theatre.
"Together our movement has built irrefutable momentum to get the job done," Wolfson said, explaining how quickly and skillfully the movement has set the stage for a Supreme Court ruling in favor of the freedom to marry by winning marriage in a critical mass of states and building a supermajority of public support – 59% nationwide.
All of this progress, this joy, this momentum, didn't just happen. It wasn't the product of one organization, one person, one case, one state, one battle, or even one decade.
"All of this progress, this joy, this momentum, didn't just happen. It wasn't the product of one organization, one person, one case, one state, one battle, or even one decade." - Evan Wolfson
We celebrate our movement that made this all so, a movement of non-gay and gay people and organizations taking action. Bloggers and lawyers. Donors and strategists. Protesters and clergy. Labor unions and businesses. Campaign volunteers and life-long movement activists. Kids talking to their parents across the kitchen table, and grandparents speaking out for their loved ones. Elected officials and judges. Millions of conversations, millions of contributions. Numerous organizations, countless individual acts of courage and commitment – all part of how change comes to America.
And we celebrate tonight the Freedom to Marry strategy that, through the movement's embrace, involvement, and investment brought us this momentum and progress and will bring us to our goal: the freedom to marry nationwide.
Freedom to Marry was born to drive the strategy we celebrate tonight, to make of the parts a greater whole, to fill the gaps, and to wake up every day moving marriage forward, no matter how hard some of those days might be or how many doubted it could be done.
Even now, with so many organizations now doing important parts of the work, with hundreds of lawyers on 65+ cases in all but 3 of the states where we don't yet have marriage, Freedom to Marry is the only organization singularly focused on winning marriage nationwide.
"Freedom to Marry is eyes on the prize and feet on the ground as the marriage movement's catalyst, coach, convener, and campaign." - Evan Wolfson
Through a constant balancing of leadership and collaboration, through our more than 30 operatives throughout the country, and through our credibility and our track record of creativity, resilience, and success – Freedom to Marry is eyes on the prize and feet on the ground as the marriage movement's catalyst, coach, convener, and campaign.
Tonight we celebrate, but we also recommit to the work of finishing the job we started. You are part of the movement, part of the success, part of the strategy, part of Freedom to Marry. Thank you for your continuing engagement, for your tenacity, for your commitment, for your contributions - past, present, and future. Thank you for joining us at this 10th anniversary party for Freedom to Marry.
With your help, we are determined; there will be no 15th.
Read a full transcript of Evan Wolfson's remarks, and watch the full speech:
After Wolfson's speech, the audience watched the striking debut of Until We Could, a short film by Sundance directors David Lowery and Yen Tan featuring a new poem by 2013 Inaugural Poet Richard Blanco. The piece, narrated by Ben Foster and Robin Wright, is a touching and personal portrayal of the many years that same-sex couples have shared together and the shared dream that one day, all will be free to marry. The video will be screened at the Cannes Film Festival this year.
The evening's showcase also featured a beautiful dance choreographed by MacArthur Fellow Kyle Abraham and performed by two members of his modern dance company, Abraham.In.Motion; a moving speech from Ron Wallen, who reflected on his 55 years of love and commitment with his husband Tom - and the marriage discrimination that followed Tom's death in 2011 as a result of DOMA; and remarks from Freedom to Marry Board Member Barb Cox.
To close the showcase, Tony and Grammy Award-nominated composer Andrew Lippa joined Tony winner Laura Benanti and a 7-piece orchestra on stage for the debut performance of "One Day," a gorgeous song about love, family, and respect for all.
Cheers to 10 Years was a fantastic night of celebration for supporters of Freedom to Marry. It was a reminder of how far we've come in this collaborative national movement, as well as a chance to reflect on Freedom to Marry's central, indispensable role as the architect of the strategy that was, is, and will continue to be the strategy that sets the stage for a final Supreme Court ruling declaring that all Americans are free to marry the person they love.
To repeat the closing line of Evan Wolfson's speech: It was a happy 10th anniversary party – and with the continued dedication and support of the campaign to win marriage nationwide, there won't be need for a 15th.
Special thanks to Cheers to 10 Years Event Chairs Rob Coburn, Benjamin Dixon, Otho Kerr, Jordan Roth, and Andrew Zobler, as well as Event Committee members Noble Black, Paul Cellupica, Joseph Cerrone, Josh Kiman, Charles Myers, Seth Stuhl, and Raymond Vallejo & S. Gerald Saliman.

Coffin-Siris syndrome
Disease definition
Coffin-Siris syndrome (CSS) is a rare congenital multi-systemic genetic disorder characterized by aplasia or hypoplasia of the distal phalanx or nail of the fifth digit, developmental delay, intellectual disability, coarse facial features, and other variable clinical manifestations.
More than 100 cases of confirmed CSS have been clinically reported to date. Exact prevalence and incidence are not known but the disorder is probably under-recognized.
Clinical description
Coffin-Siris syndrome is a clinically and genetically heterogeneous disorder. It involves a wide range of major and minor clinical findings. Characteristic major features include mild to severe developmental or cognitive delay (in all patients), fifth finger nail/distal phalanx hypoplasia or aplasia (almost all patients at birth), and coarse facial features (commonly observed over time). Distinctive facial features include thick eyebrows and long eyelashes, broad nasal bridge, wide mouth with thick, everted upper and lower lips, and abnormal ear position or shape. Common minor findings include short stature, failure to thrive, feeding difficulties, microcephaly, ophthalmological manifestations (cataracts, ptosis, strabismus), cardiac anomalies (ventricular septal/atrial septal defects, tetralogy of Fallot, patent ductus arteriosus), hypertrichosis (arms, face, back) and sparse scalp hair. Minor findings include neurologic involvement (Dandy-Walker malformation, gyral simplification, agenesis of the corpus callosum, seizures, and hypotonia), hearing loss, joint laxity, genito-urinary and renal malformations and frequent infections. Developmental delay and scoliosis appear in infancy and childhood.
Heterozygous mutation or genomic rearrangement in the following five genes have been reported to be causative for CSS (highest to lowest proportion of reported cases): ARID1B (6q25.3), SMARCA4 (19p13.3), SMARCB1 (22q11.23), ARID1A (1p36.1-p35), and SMARCE1 (17q21.2). These genes encode subunits of the BAF complex, which is involved in regulation of gene expression during development. Coffin-Siris syndrome and brachymorphism-onychodysplasia-dysphalangism syndrome (see this term) have been suggested to possibly be allelic variants.
Diagnostic methods
The diagnosis is generally based on the presence of major and at least one minor clinical sign and can be confirmed by molecular genetic testing of the causative genes. Recent studies revealed that fifth finger nail/distal phalanx hypoplasia or aplasia is not a mandatory finding.
Differential diagnosis
Differential diagnoses include Nicolaides-Baraitser syndrome, brachymorphism-onychodysplasia-dysphalangism, DOOR syndrome, hyperphosphatasia-intellectual deficiency syndrome, Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome and Cornelia de Lange syndrome (see these terms).
Antenatal diagnosis
As most mutations are de novo, prenatal diagnosis may be difficult to apply.
Genetic counseling
Autosomal dominant transmission has been reported but most cases are related to de novo mutations. Genetic counseling should be offered to affected families.
Management and treatment
Treatment is essentially supportive and symptomatic. Occupational, physical and speech therapy are recommended. Development and feeding should be monitored closely and patients should undergo regular ophthalmological and audiological testing.
The prognosis is poor in severely affected individuals, with aspiration pneumonia and seizures reported in childhood.

Bayou City Concert Musicals Presents JEROME KERN IN HOLLYWOOD, Now thru 2/18
BAYOU CITY CONCERT MUSICALS continues its popular cabaret series with Jerome Kern in Hollywood, on three consecutive Monday nights in February, beginning tonight, February 4, and continuing on February 11 and February 18 at 7:30 p.m. The evening of song will again be presented at the Performance Centre of the Ensemble Theatre, 3535 Main between Holman and Berry Street, in the heart of Midtown. (Entrance to The Centre is located on the corner of Fannin and Berry directly behind the theatre and has convenient free parking, courtesy of the Houston Community College.)
Already a major figure in American music as the composer of Broadway musicals culminating in his masterpiece SHOW BOAT, written with lyricist Oscar Hammerstein II, Jerome Kern moved his talents to Hollywood in 1935. It didn't take him long to feel right at home. He and lyricist Dorothy Fields won the 1936 Academy Award for best song with The Way You Look Tonight from the movie SWING TIME. Kern returned to Broadway only once, in 1939, with VERY WARM IN MAY, a less-than-successful show that included one of his greatest songs, All The Things You Are. Movies were the medium for his biggest hits, including A Fine Romance, Lovely to Look At, Long Ago and Far Away, and The Last Time I Saw Paris, for which he won his second Academy Award in 1941.BCCM's cabaret evening will feature Kerns' music from the time he moved to Hollywood in 1935 to his death in 1945 and will be sung by Houston's most talented musical theatre performers. One of the most popular features of the BCCM cabaret evening is BCCM Artistic Director Paul Hope's commentary about the life of the composer and the history of his music.Tickets are $25.00 and are available by calling 713-465-6484 or online at bayoucityconcertmusicals.org. Tickets may also be purchased at the door, but reservations are recommended.

The news coming out of the Santa Cruz area today is that there's been a management shake-up at Zero Motorcycles, as multiple people at the top of the company's leadership have been given pink slips, including company Founder & CTO Neal Saiki. Recently talking to PlugBike.com's John Adamo, Zero Motorcycles CEO Gene Banman denied that Saiki had been let go from the company, saying that Saiki's absence at the company was due to his child's recent birth and Saiki's desire to spend time with his newborn.
However multiple sources close to the company have confirmed to Asphalt & Rubber that Neal Saiki was a part of a larger management shake-up that was precipitated by the company's lead investor. With many of the terminations expected to be finalized next month, and spanning more than one division at the California-based startup, there appears to be a considerable personnel and culture shift occurring at Zero at this point in time.

The Band Perry Make Surprise Visit to Hometown Elementary School
On Thursday, April 5, nearly 600 elementary students at East Tennessee's Doak Elementary School got a surprise meet and greet with award-winning sibling trio the Band Perry. Though the students didn't expect the visit from the 'All Your Life' singers, they certainly deserved it. The elementary school, which the Perrys attended when they were young, had just raised more than $40,000 for the American Cancer Society.
Kimberly, Reid and Neil felt especially grateful for the young students and their contributions to the fight against cancer, as they just lost a friend to the horrible disease. In a television interview about their visit, Kimberly opened up a bit about the recent loss and her gratitude to Doak Elementary.
"It's in honor of a dear friend of ours, Miss Lisa White, who passed away from cancer," she said. "So it was really amazing just to honor her life today and to raise money for such an amazing organization," (quote via Country Weekly). To make the day even more meaningful, the band hung out with students and took time to talk with them and sign autographs.
The Band Perry took the ACM stage last weekend (Sunday, April 1) to perform their hot new single 'Postcard from Paris,' bringing the house down and proving once again that they can churn out killer singles with the best of them. The single is already sitting at No.29 on Billboard's Country Songs chart, and we're expecting to watch it continue its ascent.

Family History Library catalogue (52 Weeks to Better Genealogy, no.36)
I had previously used this site to find English parish registers and Australian probate records. For a few dollars I was able to order microfilms for use at a Family History Centre near me. Nowadays members of some genealogical societies in Australia can also order films for use in their society's library.
This week I did searches using both the original site and the new 'beta' site. The beta version produces results that look nicer, with all details on one screen; but identifying a particular parish is sometimes more difficult. It depends how the 'place search' results are presented when there are several places with the same name. Presumably this issue will be resolved as the site develops.

New Products - January 2014Posted in Product Reviews on December 10, 2013
New Late Intake
When the 3.6L Pentastar was plunked between the framerails of the '12, the game changed. Not only was there more power than ever before from the factory, but the entire aftermarket had to go back to the drawing board for power adders. So, if you've got a '12 or '13 Wrangler, maybe you've been waiting for the right intake. Maybe this is it. The Momentum GT intake outflows the factory intake by 47 percent and frees up 12hp and 11 lb-ft of power. It is a one-piece unit with a massive air filter inside and premium mounting and assembly hardware. The housing has a large cold air scoop that can be blocked by an included urethane plug on those really cold days. Information: aFe Power, 951/493-7135, afepower.com
Bifold and trifold wallets are all well and good, but they take up a lot of space and it can be difficult to get stuff out of them. Not only that, your ID can credit card info can be swiped by an RFID scanner without you ever taking the wallet out of your pocket. Enter the HuMn wallet 2 (HW2) and HuMn wallet mini. Available in your choice of 6061 Aluminum or 3K twill carbon fiber, it is lighter and sturdier than what you carry now. The aluminum is available in a wide assortment of colors, and the HW2 can be had in either 2-plate or 3-plate configurations with whatever plate and strap colors you want. Just go to the website to customize yours. Information: HuMn Wallet, 800/704-4588, humnwallet.com
TreadWright has announced the launch of its new bead-to-bead retread tire so you can get all the benefits of costly new tires at a fraction of the price. In fact, you can save up to 60 percent over certain other brand-name tires. Bead-to-bead is a process of applying new rubber veneer to the tire sidewalls, significantly enhancing the tire's cosmetic appearance and long-term performance. The new sidewall veneer provides additional benefit in that it further seals the tire, improving the overall durability. Information: TreadWright, 877/439-0759, treadwright.com
Not Draconian
This neat looking cast aluminum wheel is from Rugged Ridge and called the Drakon, but it is anything but draconian. While it was designed with the JK in mind, the 5-on-5 inch bolt pattern with 4.53 inches of backspacing could work on other Jeeps, such as the WJ as well. It is available in satin black, satin black with a gold lip, satin black with a gunmetal lip, and solid gunmetal powdercoating. This DOT-approved wheel is rated for 2,200 pounds and is currently only available in a 17x9 size. Information: Rugged Ridge, 770/614-6101, ruggedridge.com
Y? Pipe!
"Have a four-door JK with a 3.6L engine in it ('12 and '13) and a manual transmission and that exhaust just always seems to be in the way of whatever modification you are trying to make? Maybe aFe Power's new Mach FORCE XP Y-pipe can solve your exhausting woes. Made from two 2-inch into one 21⁄2-inch mandrel-bent stainless-steel tubing it has factory-style flanges and flange clamps for a 360-degree sealing surface. It works with both your factory catalytic converter and aFe's Mach FORCE XP exhaust system.

We've been saying for years that Lithium Ion batteries are the next big thing to come in Jeep batteries. Antigravity is a new player in that market, with batteries that boast up to 80 percent more amperage than a similarly-sized lead acid battery. As the name implies, these batteries are also much lighter than regular lead acid batteries as well. With more power on tap you can also go with smaller batteries, which can mean more space under the hood. That can mean either more space for other accessories, the ability to put dual batteries in the spot where one used to be, or a combination thereof. Information: Antigravity Batteries, 310/27-2330, antigravitybatteries.com
Pro Comp has released a new aluminum wheel featuring a machine-milled eight-spoke pattern. The Phantom has a satin black finish that comes with a two-year Powder Coat Warranty and Pro Comp's lifetime structural guarantee. The center cap conceals the lug nuts for added security and to provide a smooth appearance. The 5182 Series wheels are offered in 17-inch and 20-inch diameters with five-, six-, and eight-lug applications to fit many axles and vehicles. Information: Pro Comp USA, 800/776-0767, procompusa.com
Skinny Oval
New from JW Speaker is the model 6020 LED worklight. It features a unique oval design and is quite thin to fit in tight spaces. The housing is die-cast aluminum with an impact-resistant polycarbonate lens and designed for off-road situations. The Model 6020 has an impressive light output of 1,800 raw lumens and 1,010 effective lumens. The color temperature of the Model 6020 mimics that of a bright, noonday sun, which is not only easy on the eyes, but helps to promote alertness. These lights are designed and manufactured right here in the USA. Information: JW Speaker, 800/558-7288, jwspeaker.com
Two-Door Lovin'
The four-door JK is so popular that just about anything you want you can find in the aftermarket—the two-door, maybe just a little bit less so. That is why we are pleased to announce this new gas tank skidplate from Rough Country suspension for the two-door JK. Made from 3⁄16-inch-thick steel with a completely bolt-on installation, it is an easy way to up-armor the underside of your JK. Once bolted-up the skid has a flat profile, so sliding over rocks is easier than ever. Information: Rough Country Suspension, 800/222-7023, roughcountry.com

About The Brand
In 1967 a group of Swedish glassmakers brought their hand making skills to rural North Devon to help start a very different glass company. Working with the finest natural materials, these craftsmen soon became known for creating beautiful glassware that would be used and appreciated. Today, Dartington Crystal continues to provide elegant, simple designs in crystal and glass. Much of the range continues to be hand crafted in our Devon factory and Dartington is now the only crystal brand still producing in the UK.

Scott's observations on Obamanations are a good introduction to this provocative piece by our friend Steve Hayes in today's Wall Street Journal. Steve's thesis is that the commonplace criticism of Obama, that he is all generalities and no substance, misses the mark. In fact, he compares Obama to Ronald Reagan, against whom similar criticisms were leveled. Steve includes our references to Obama as "Chance the Gardener," the character played by Peter Sellers in Being There, in his litany of conservative underestimation of Obama. Steve argues that Obama is more than that:
The assumption behind much of this criticism is that because Mr. Obama gives a good speech he cannot do substance. This is wrong. Mr. Obama has done well in most of the Democratic debates because he has consistently shown himself able to think on his feet. Even on health care, a complicated national issue that should be Mrs. Clinton's strength, Mr. Obama has regularly fought her to a draw by displaying a grasp of the details that rivals hers, and talking about it in ways Americans can understand.
In Iowa, long before the race became the national campaign it is today, Mr. Obama spent much of his time at town halls in which he took questions from the audience. His answers in such settings were often as good or better than the rhetoric in his stump speech, and usually more substantive. He spoke about issues like immigration and national service in a thoughtful manner — not wonky, not pedantic, but in a way that suggested he'd spent some time thinking about them before.
More important for the race ahead, Mr. Obama has the unique ability to offer doctrinaire liberal positions in a way that avoids the stridency of many recent Democratic candidates. That he managed to do this in the days before the Iowa caucuses — at a time when he might have been expected to be at his most liberal — was quite striking.
Steve emailed us this morning to let us know about his piece and invite us to "feel free to smack [him] around on Power Line." Actually, though, I agree with him. Barack Obama is a very able man and a formidable opponent.
Conservatives complain about Obama's vagueness mostly because they want to expose the dedicated liberal lurking behind Obama's modeerate demeanor. In truth, though, Obama's liberalism is no secret. His voting record, the policy positions laid out on his web site, and his own answers to questions in debates and town hall meetings make it clear that he is an unreconstructed liberal.
Obama's appeal lies, in part, in his ability to make liberalism seem palatable. Unlike Hillary Clinton and John Edwards, he is generally not shrill or hectoring. He comes across as calm and reasonable. In this, he really does resemble Ronald Reagan.
There are obvious differences between Reagan and Obama, of course. Reagan was a life-long student of Communism, while Obama is not yet a life-long student of anything. Most important, Reagan was devoted to conservatism, which is essentially true, while Obama is devoted to liberalism, which is essentially false. This means that Obama's policies, no matter how smoothly he may advocate them, will never be as successful as Reagan's.
Here, though, lies the rub, in my view. Ronald Reagan came to power at a time when America had been carrying out, for sixteen years, an experiment with liberalism that by 1980 had brought the country to the brink of catastrophe. Americans did not adopt conservative principles because they sounded good on first hearing. They adopted conservative principles because of bitter experience with the alternative.
Today, the benefit of that experience has largely been lost. A generation of American voters has not experienced the failures of the Great Society, the near-collapse of American cities, double-digit inflation and unemployment, seventy percent tax brackets, or the disaster of Jimmy Carter's foreign policy. In the absence of historical memory, and with a powerful assist from the ever-forgetful press, liberalism is once again emerging as the philosophy that sounds good. The fact that it doesn't work awaits as an unpleasant surprise for a new generation. In the meantime, Barack Obama may well be the plausible candidate who can lead voters, once again, down the blind alley of leftism. He is, as Steve Hayes argues, an opponent who must be taken seriously.
Which doesn't preclude, of course, the occasional moment of ridicule when he slips into his Chance the Gardener mode.
