Jeep Pickup Truck Delayed Until 2018
Unfortunately, the Jeep pickup truck that was scheduled for release in 2017 was delayed until 2018. Mike Manley, CEO has said that FCA is focusing on existing projects with the Wrangler and Grand Cherokee. As it seemed like the pickup was a done deal, we find it interesting/surprising that the release was pushed back. Is there more to this story? Only time will tell.

Is punctuation as tone setter a new trend? Does that question mark I just used simply indicate that I just wrote an interrogative sentence, or does it mean that the sentence reveals that I am emotionally confused? If I use a comma, does that mean that I'm feeling hesitant?
What tone does a semicolon convey?

small update recommended if you have Lighthouse 4.1.2 RC2
Lighthouse 4.1.2 RC2 Base ISO
What's New: Significant changes for LighthousePup 4.1.2-rc2 - Xorg7.4 and SMP kernel 184.108.40.206 from Newyearspup. SMP is "Symmetric multiprocessing", or multiple CPU/core support. CPUs 1-4 should be visible in conky and htop.
CPU cool & quiet/freq scaling configuration here:
Up to 40 SFS add-on packs supported.
Try not to mix different versions of LHP Base and Mariner SFS; both should be rc2. The kernel, mksquashfs and display drivers are new. If you have an earlier Mariner SFS,
please delete it before booting LHP 4.1.2-rc2
. No Xdeltas this time around--they were almost as large as the complete files.
Updated Pmusic to 0.6.1, Conky to 1.6.1
Updated Gslapt, slapt-get and repositories to latest versions
Mariner 4rc2 SFS - updated ATI Catalyst & nVidia drivers, FireFox 3.0.10
Sometimes X gives a blank screen upon starting, wait ~20 seconds and if X hasn't started press
KDE has no HAL or KDE media manager but--this is new for LHP4.1.2rc2--all connected drives except CD/DVD are automounted to /mnt during system startup.
Compiz-Fusion SFS eye candy available for KDE. 3 main types of video cards that can run CF; ATI (newer than 7000), Intel (newer than i810) and Nvidia (newer than GeForce2). If you have one of those, install Mariner SFS, logoff to CL, run xorgwizard to set up 3D accelerated drivers for your display adapter. Start KDE and run Kmenu | Settings | 3D-Demo to verify DRI is enabled and test 3D.
If that is successful, you can try CF by downloading
and enabling it in Kmenu | Settings | Bootmanager | Choose extra SFS | uncheck 'Ignore above user selection' and be sure your SFS files are in the right-hand pane.
Reboot and (hopefully) CF and Emerald window decorator will start automatically with KDE, and CF icon will be in the system tray; right-click for a boat load of settings. Note: Xscreensavers flicker on my system when used with CF, so I use the KDE Screensavers included in Mariner SFS instead--no flicker. More about CF here:
Development Add-ons (for rc2 or later)
2009.04.07 Lighthouse 4.1.2 RC1 Base ISO - What's New
* Updated Wine to 1.1.18, Flash to 10.0.22.87, ISOMaster to 1.3.5
* Additional options in Xorgwizard display configuration menu
* On first run or boot option 'pfix=ram', prompts to reboot & create pup_save before running Xorgwizard. This should make saving your session very reliable.
* Alsawizard prompts to exit to CL and run 'alsaconf'. GParted wrapper Vista warning updated to suggest using Vista's Disk Management to shrink volume
* Incorporated
by drummachine to fix FireFox javascript instability
Mariner and Voyager SFS Packs
both updated to version 4c
* ATI Catalyst 8.12 display drivers for ATI cards
listed here
with working Catalyst Control Center tested on Radeon HD 3200 integrated graphics, modified
this pet by MU
. If KDE video is blank when first starting, press <Ctrl> key. Should be fine after that.
* nVidia drivers not tested,
available here
* Added XPark theme to Xpenguins for your desktop
* Updated FireFox to 3.08
* Added aRoK smartphone-like SuperKaramba KDE desktop widget to Voyager, shortcut in /Autostart/DisabledItems. Its main feature is the interaction with Amarok player. Also has slideshow, email and CPU activity panels. If menu freezes, press <Ctrl> key.
2009.03.09 Lighthouse 4.1.2 Beta 5 released
You can update your Beta 4 ISO to Beta 5 by downloading the small xdelta3 and a few mouse-clicks.
* Audacious updated to v1.5.1. This fixes playlists that previously would not re-open properly and includes new plug-ins including OSD (on-screen display.) Kudos to Pizzasgood, who put together a slew of packages needed to make it all work.
* Some housekeeping is automated upon login with Pup-Dip-Gui. It cleans Internet cache, (but not your history,) Rox-Filer image thumbnail cache and updates dynamic links (ldconfig.) If you prefer to do these manually, you can move the symlink /Startup/pup-dip-gui to the accompanying DisabledItems folder.
* A few cosmetic updates including one that corrects information displayed during boot up on systems without a Linux-swap partition.
* Wallpaper setter modified to work better with Conky.
* Console-LHP (/usr/bin/rxvt-LHP) has font reduced from 20 to 17.
* New skin 'CompactBlack' for VLC.
2009.03.09 Mariner and Voyager SFS Packs both updated to version 4b5
* In Mariner SFS, expanded LookNFeelMariner Panel with KDE's Update Menus feature.
* Placed Save2Flash on KDE Desktop. This is only needed if your pup-save resides on a USB Flash drive.
* Brought back 3D-Demo graphics benchmark from MU's 3D Control Center.
* More wallpapers in Voyager.
2009.02.20 LighthousePup 4.1.2 Beta 4 Released
Reduced footprint of Lighthouse Base ISO to 198M by moving KDE, Firefox & Java to Mariner SFS. Base still has IceWM, JWM, SeaMonkey & GIMP, plus Audacious, Audacity, VLC, Mplayer & PB Screensaver. (Removed XMMS.)
Now support
up to 24 SFS application packs
. (From patched init script by Leon Zobec, thank you Leon!) SFS files are highlighted as they are mounted during boot-up. If you use Grub bootloader for LHP 4, add 'max_loop=28' to the end of the 'kernel' line and reboot.
kernel /vmlinuz max_loop=28
If you boot from CD and want the main file copied to RAM (pfix=copy) just press 'c' <Enter> at the boot menu.
Added more mime-type icons in Rox-Filer. Edit-SFS updated with detailed progress window during mksquashfs operation. Console-LHP updated to aterm with a bit of transparency and larger fonts for those of us with less-than-perfect vision.
Mariner SFS compatibility with official Puppy 4.1.x is much improved. Two Lighthouse Configuration Panels, Standard LookNFeel for Base ISO and an expanded LookNFeel-Mariner. XScreenSavers, extra games and Audacious skins moved to Voyager SFS.
Downloads and more at
Xorgwizard, Option 1 gives weird results, Option 2, force vesa, (default) seems to work better.
Slow data transfer via Pnethood. Reportedly common to the 18.104.22.168 kernel from Newyearspup. Internet transfers not affected.
Menus sometimes missing apps, workaround: Menu | Window Manager | Refresh Menus, then Restart IceWM/JWM (also in Window Manager menu.)
[Edit: Alsa Wizard prompts accordingly as of RC1.]
Alsa wizard must be run by logging out of X
to command line and typing 'alsaconf'.
(In Mariner)
[Edit: new for LHP4.1.2rc2--all connected drives except CD/DVD are automounted to /mnt during system startup.]
KDE does not have HAL/Automount/udev or desktop sharing.
Use Puppy's Pmount to mount/unmount drives.
Copy & Paste from Geany to Console-LHP
only works if you use a clipboard tool to select what you just copied. By default Klipper in KDE and Glipper in IceWm are autostarted.
Note: boot option pfix=fsck checks all ext2/3 partitions, not just the one with your pup_save.
Post your screenshots or links--if you'd like me to include them in the LighthousePup Gallery

What a really nice puppy this is - runs nice on my ram challenged 6yr old
laptop (91mb ram, 1ghz celeron proc. (250mb swap) frugal install)
Still use LH215ce as well - that was the puppy that made me realise that
XP was not really needed anymore.
Didn't try LH301g yet - felt it might need a bit more ram.
Many thanks for all your time and effort producing LightHouse.

Hi Ray,
You're welcome and thank you for your support.
Although I haven't had a chance yet to test this build on a variety of memory configurations I did tweak the init script as best I could. I'm especially impressed by your success given the RAM spec on your machine. That's a tribute to Puppy's developers as well. Good job!
Take care,

You've outdone yourself with this new Lighthouse. Impressive, there is a real improvement in boot and shutdown times and I was pleased that I could add my favorite applications, Bibletime, Amsn, Firefox, and Thunderbird without any problems.
Thanks again for another outstanding derivative.

Looks great, but does it need extra RAM (my machine's "only" got 256 MB) to run the mariner.sfs file as well, over and above what it uses for Lighthouse itself?

Thank you, that's good news indeed.
@Colonel Panic,
Good question! If you have a linux-swap partition, Mariner should work satisfactorily on 256M RAM. Type 'lhp pfix=copy,fsck' at the boot menu to load the main file into RAM and to check the pup_save for errors. By default LHP does not copy-to-RAM, nor e2fsck to reduce boot time off the CD-ROM, so try with and without pfix=copy and decide which you prefer. Even easier, to just copy, type 'c' at the boot menu!
Without a linux-swap (you can create one with GParted,) LHP may determine a copy-to-RAM won't fit, so it may run more slowly, although it should be OK at least with IceWM or JWM, if not KDE. It's easy switch between them with the Log Out panel. Let me know how it works out for you. I've only begun testing this build in VirtualBox to get an idea what the RAM requirements are, so your experience might be useful for others.
Hope that helps,
Lighthouse 64 6.02

Thanks, it looks great. I'm having lockups at the moment unfortunately so I can't be sure that even base Puppy will work reliably on my computer, and hence I'm disinclined to use anything too demanding of system resources (I'm posting this from Puppy 2.17 with no extras).
However, the last copy of Lighthouse I had ended up as a demonstration CD for people in the local community centre who hadn't previously seen Linux, so maybe I'll do the same with this one.

I am loving the new lighthouse. I really like what you have done with the SFS files and how it makes it so much more adaptable to different systems. I have it on my older laptop as a frugal install, and also on here where I am currently running the regular version with the mariner sfs and voyager sfs loaded off of a thumb drive on my newer home computer with 2gb of ram and windows vista with no swap, and it is running great, lightning fast.
I have a question that does not relate directly to lighthouse but more to puppy in general.
I have a creative SB X-FI sound card on here and running the alsa sound wizard and it does not work.
I tried both the sb8 pro and the sb16 settings on the alsa wizard and it goes through the set up as if it works but I get no "woof" at the end and no sound works.
I suspect I would need the correct driver for the x-fi card to install on here but don't have any idea where I would get it for Linux or how to install it so my question really is do you know if there is a pet for it and if so where I can get it?
I don't have a lot of puppy/Linux knowledge to compile one but I am learning.
If you don't know I am thinking of putting up a regular thread to inquire on the forum but thought I would ask here first since I am trying to get it working from within the new lighthouse.

Well, I FINALLY managed to get LHPup installed and running (mucho grub problems), and I have to say that I quite like it.
OK, so the toolbars were a little cluttered for my liking, but that was soon sorted out.
Running KDE at the moment, and that seems to be OK.
Just one question - anything I`m supposed to be doing in order to get the Opera and Open office .sfs files to run at all?

I am fairly new to puppy so i hope I did not miss anything, but here is how to do it. If anyone else has anything to add please do.
(any sfs files you want to use will work in this same manner with a frugal install)
And please note this is assuming you have a frugal install.
1. Download the sfs files
2. Put them into your /mnt/home directory.
3. Then go to Menu==>System==>BootManager configure bootup
4. In the "puppy boot manager" click the top right computer chip icon "choose what sfs files to to load at bootup"
the bottom tick "ignore above user selection, load all with '_412' in file name", so then you
load any sfs
6. Choose the ones you want in the left column and add them to the right column and then reboot.
They should all load after that and integrate into you menus.
If you are adding more then 3 sfs files add 'max_loop=28' to the end of the 'kernel' line and reboot,as outlined by tazoc above.

Thank you for your comments. I don't know how to get your sound card detected. I would post at the Audio section of this forum:
Tom's idea should work, assuming you reboot after placing the new SFS in /mnt/home. You might need to reboot again after making changes in Puppy Bootmanager.
Note: SFS that end in something other than _412 (e.g., _411) may not show up, so rename accordingly or make a symlink and reboot.
Note also KDE menus sometimes don't add new entries until you do the following:
Click KMenu | Settings | Menu Updating Tool | Scan | Apply. Don't worry about selecting the extra items it finds; most are already there.
I'm thinking about reducing the font size in Console-LHP from 20 to 17. This is in a script located at /usr/bin/rxvt-LHP. Available terminus font sizes are: 12,14,16,17,20,24,28,32. I increased it from 14 to 20 for LHP4b4 but I think I went overboard a bit.
I also found a minor bug when booting without a linux-swap partition displays strange output. Will fix that for the next Beta. Just a cosmetic item--it still boots okay.

OK, i`ll try that for the Open Office 3.0 .sfs if the adding of the bit to the "Kernel" line dont work
Thanks for the help guys

Right, sorted.
Actually now trying things out running IceWM, as KDE decided to start throwing a wobbly.
So far, it`s so fast it`s silly.

I've tried it now and it looks good but unfortunately I wasn't able to create a savefile from it (a problem I've had with other Puppy derivatives based on Dingo).
I may try it again when I've got more time, especiallly when I want to try out the Mariner .sfs file, but for now (and sorry if this seems negative) I think I'm better off sticking with vanilla 2.17 as it fits my needs and seems to work well, i.e., does all the "basics" properly.
With all the lockups I've been having, to simply be able to get online without a hitch and get what I want done matters a lot. Sorry if this seems negative after all the work you've put in.

If you decide to try again, try logging off to the command line instead of normal shutdown. Then type 'reboot' <Enter> and save your session to a file. I've found that sometimes that works, especially if you've just done a clean boot 'puppy pfix=ram'. If you still have no video, just keep hitting <Enter> a few times and Puppy will go ahead and save the session, defaulting to a 512M pup_save.2fs.

No problem, thanks for trying LighthousePup. I wonder if the lockups could be from your CPU overheating or maybe faulty RAM or power supply... You can type 'memtest' at boot menu for system memory diagnostic.
Take care,

LOS ANGELES — The Sharks are in position to sweep a first-round opponent for a second straight year and the incentive Thursday to eliminate the Los Angeles Kings goes beyond simply advancing to the Western Conference semifinals.
In a series as physical as this one, any extra rest is welcome.
"You have an opportunity to give yourself a few days extra to prepare and get the body feeling better," veteran defenseman Brad Stuart said. "If you can, you take advantage of it."
The Sharks-Kings series has been the most physical of the four in the Western Conference by far. The hit count on the nightly stat sheet can be a subjective and flawed statistic, but those numbers can reflect the general tone of a game.
None of the other three series had a combined total of more than 189 hits for their first three games. San Jose and Los Angeles combined for 312.
Sharks forward Mike Brown didn't question those numbers and pointed out that San Jose is playing a physical game up and down the lineup, not just on the fourth line where he competes.
"The biggest thing about playoffs is just wearing down their players," he said, "and I think the guys in here have noticed that finishing checks is breaking the Kings down and it's working."
The Sharks have built a 3-0 lead in two series over the past three seasons with different results. They did sweep the Vancouver Canucks a year ago; in 2011, the dropped the next three to the Detroit Red Wings before winning Game 7. A weary San Jose team advanced, but then lost to the Canucks in five games in the conference finals.
Todd McLellan said the coaching staff used both those examples to illustrate to the team the importance of closing out any series as soon as possible.
"But there's a team wearing black and silver tomorrow night that has a lot to say about that and they will play exceptionally hard," he said. "The message to our group is to expect that.
We'll have to play a better game tomorrow than we did yesterday."
The Kings were taking the approach that they just needed to focus on winning one game, not four, at this point.
"As a group," veteran Los Angeles forward Mike Richards said, "you just have to know that, one, it's not going to be easy and, two, it is possible."
"He's the type of guy that under pressure, he plays his best," Logan Couture said. "All of us in the room believe in Nemo. We've seen it first hand, when he was on the other team what he can do to you. He had some big games with Chicago against us in the playoffs, and last night he came up huge for us."
"He's fine," McLellan said when asked about the status of Braun, who said the problem came from a blocked shot and not a hard hit by Kings forward Jeff Carter.

Yes, we can smell what The Rock is cooking. Well, more like what Vince McMahon and "WWE Films" is cooking. Admittedly, it's not like being the best actor at Stratford, but The Rock does stand out in the pantheon of wrestlers-turned-actor for his screen presence and powerful eyebrow-raising. Some day, he could carry a decent action flick, though Rowdy Roddy is still Olivier.
But this remake of a classic piece of manipulative '70s cheese serves only to make the original revenge fantasy look like Fellini by comparison. Padded from an earlier running time of 75 minutes, it's the original story as reinvented by someone with a brain injury.
For those too young to have experienced it, Walking Tall was a huge white-trash, vigilante-justice, cause-celebre in a decade that specialized in them (Billy Jack, Death Wish, Dirty Harry, etc.). It was loosely based on a real-life Southern Sheriff named Buford Pusser -- a former wrestler no less -- who came home to Tennessee to beat the crap out of corrupt local officials with his trademark two-by-four and clean up the town. He was played by the immortal Joe Don Baker, whose Actor's Studio cred was belied by his good ol' boy image.
The Rock's Walking Tall is also based on real life events -- on Pluto. Don't know why, but the character is no longer a wrestler named Buford Pusser, it's a U.S. Special Forces vet named Chris Vaughn. Don't know why, but it's no longer set in the Deep South but Washington state. Don't know why, but the evil villain is no longer a Boss Hawg, but a yuppie (Neal McDonough) who has closed down the town mill and replaced it with a casino/strip bar.
I do know why The Rock carries a four-by-four stud instead of a two-by-four. 'Cause he's The Rock. Duh.
There's more care for character development in your average night of Raw Is War. Chris comes home, discovers the casino is rigged, gets beaten up by security, and returns with his four-by-four after he discovers the casino goons are also selling drugs to children.
Having broken all their bones and smashed the casino, he gives a rousing speech to a jury which acquits him even though he clearly did what he was accused of. Can someone say mistrial?
He's elected sheriff a minute later and fires the police force except for himself and Johnny Knoxville of Jackass (who, we're guessing, is supposed to be comic relief, though we're still waiting for relief). The sheriff's powers apparently extend to reopening the mill (take that globalization!) and turning his stripper girlfriend into a fighting machine. That's her blasting away with a pump-action shotgun while wearing a red Victoria's Secret bra.
It's over? Whaddya mean it's over? There were only, like, two semi-decent ass-kickings in the entire movie.
Whatta rip. Somebody oughtta go into Hollywood with a big stick and clean up that town.

Groton schools consider whistle-blower policy
Groton - A Board of Education committee is considering a policy that would require employees to file a written complaint if they see wrongdoing by another employee, and would prohibit retaliation against those who file such complaints.
The board's policy committee will discuss the proposed policy at 5 p.m. today in the school administration building.
"I think it's a great idea and I think it's a long time in coming," said board member Robert Peruzzotti, who served on the board for 13 years but was not re-elected last month.
The proposed policy defines a complaint as "reporting what one reasonably and genuinely believes is wrongdoing by way of unethical or unlawful conduct by another employee, contractor, official or volunteer in the course of his or her employment or service for the board."
The draft comes nearly eight months after the school board fired Superintendent Paul Kadri on March 5 for alleged mistreatment of employees. Kadri was fired 10 months after he was placed on leave and the board ordered an investigation into claims he was bullying, harassing and intimidating employees, most of them women.
The proposed policy would require anyone with knowledge of wrongdoing to report it in writing, and for the superintendent or the superintendent's designee to investigate and report findings to the board.
The draft also states that the board will keep identities of employees who file complaints confidential to the extent possible, but that they must be prepared to answer questions and give examples of the wrongdoing. It defines wrongdoing as behavior such as mismanagement, dishonesty, fraud, neglect and other misconduct.
Interim Superintendent Sean McKenna said Groton has a community relations "Public Complaints" policy that provides for criticisms of the schools, but it is more global in nature.
McKenna said the draft is more specific to employees. But he emphasized that proposed policies are often discussed and adjusted over a period of months before a committee decides whether to bring that policy to the full board.
School board member-elect Mary Kelly said she was vaguely aware of the policy and could not comment on specifics.
But she said, "I can comment on the fact that I really do believe that there has to be a vehicle for employees to be able to go to people if they see an infraction, and to be able to report it without any fear of repercussions."
Under the proposed policy, if a complaint goes so far as to cause the board to suspect possible criminal conduct, the board may refer the allegations to another public agency for investigation. In this case, the policy states the person involved in the alleged misconduct may be placed on administrative leave.
The proposed policy specifically prohibits retaliation.
"Any individual that makes a report in good faith will not be discharged, disciplined, threatened, harassed, penalized or discriminated against for reporting what they perceive to be wrongdoing,'' the draft states.
It adds that if this occurs, the person involved in the retaliation "will be subject to discipline, up to and including termination of employment."
The draft also specifies who an employee may file a complaint with.
For example, the proposal says an employee may report an instance of wrongdoing to an immediate supervisor if the supervisor is not involved, or to the person next in the chain of command, or the superintendent.
If multiple levels of the chain of command are involved, the draft says employees may file a written report directly to the school board.
Board member Chaz Zezulka, who served on the board almost 10 years but was not re-elected, said the board has steps for dealing with such issues, but he believes a specific policy would be of value.
"I feel you should have some sort of procedure in place so that people who do feel something is dishonest, unethical or they're being treated unfairly, they have an avenue to explore and to present their side without any recriminations," he said.

The Hamptons Mom
Two Gwyneth Paltrow posts in one day – it's a good day!
Here are some new photos for you to judge. Because I know there's no one you love to judge more than my G. She's spending August in the Hamptons, as you know, and some of her days are spent catching up with the other Hamptons moms at Jack's coffee and booting around with Apple on her apple red scooter.
Is this exactly how you imagined it? This snapshot of a day in the GOOP life?

My gen's oil is 2 seasons old now. Previous owner told me it was changed shortly before I bought the boat, so I figured I'd change it after this season. I've done my due diligence to ensure proper levels and appearance, so don't shoot me for not changing it already.
It's getting time to start watching the low temperatures in the forecast and thinking about winterizing it. Should I change the crankcase oil before winterization or at the beginning of next season?
BTW, my boat has Honda 4 stroke outboards, which don't require any winterization. I think I may buy some engine covers for them though, as i don't want anything building nests in the air intakes.

Not surprisingly, University of Miami football coach Al Golden said Wednesday that the Hurricanes "always have our eyes open" when it comes to senior transfers, who, per NCAA rules, are allowed to play immediately without sitting out a season.
That, he said, includes quarterbacks.
Speaking on the Atlantic Coast Conference teleconference that wrapped up spring practice for most of the teams, Golden reiterated that redshirt freshman quarterback Kevin Olsen was leading the position competition.
But as Golden did immediately after the spring game, he left the door open for incoming freshmen Brad Kaaya and Malik Rosier to join the quarterback battle when they arrive next month — or any other newcomers the staff deems worthy enough.

Ryan Williams, who was expected to start this season, tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee during a scrimmage April 4 and underwent surgery April 9.
"This time of year we always have our eyes open and are looking for guys that can help improve our team," Golden said.
"In terms of certain guys that have already decided they are coming here, until they're ours and are registered I'm not allowed to comment on them."
Does that include quarterbacks?
"Again," he said, "I just think in general if there's a young man out there that is leaving a program for whatever reason and has interest in us, we're going to examine him, just like we would do for any position. So the quarterback is no different."
Golden said there were no changes in the roster at this time.
"In terms of if a guy is going to leave or another guy wants to come in, until that actually happens it's impossible for me to comment on it," he said.
Golden said Williams, heading into his fifth-year senior season, was doing well in his rehabilitation.
Williams' mother has said he vows to play again sometime next season, preferably for the Nebraska game on Sept. 20.
"Everything they're telling me, everything is going really well," Golden said.
"He hasn't had any setbacks yet, which is great. Again, it's clearly going to be the doctor's call. But his rehabilitation is going really well right now, and knock on wood it will continue to do that."
Golden said that Kaaya and Rosier are "busy completing all the things that they have to do to graduate and make the transition, which is never easy for anybody. … Once they get here, then we'll start talking about football.
"Both young men are bright. They both take care of business off the field, which allows them to have complete focus on what they need to do.
"We're excited for them to get here. I think it will help move our program forward and create the competition that we need at that spot."
When asked if Olsen is "the guy" right now, Golden said: "Yeah. Kevin finished ahead of Gray Crow coming out of the spring, and whoever is at the helm for us on Labor Day night [against Louisville], we'll have confidence in and we've got to rally around."
He said his confidence level was still "high" about the quarterback position.
"We're not going to change what we do,'' Golden said.
"We need to do a really good job of establishing the running game and keeping it simple and doing the things that we do best — getting into more third-and-manageables. We had way too many third-and-longs last year to possess the ball and convert.
"Clearly, the two young men that we have here on campus right now can do it, and the two that are coming in will also have an opportunity to compete."

The mall has a gross area of 4,200,000 sq ft available as retail space. That's enough to fit seven Yankee stadiums inside of it! Mall of America is the most visited shopping mall in the world with more than 40 million visitors annually (or roughly eight times the population of the state of Minnesota). Spending 10 minutes in every store would take a shopper more than 86 hours to complete their visit to Mall of America. The mall includes a cinema, Nickelodeon Universe theme park, aquarium, adventure golf, flight simulators, and a comedy house.
This shopping center is home to over 450 retailers and also features a complete range of entertainment options including Ski Dubai, the first indoor ski destination in the Middle East, a two-level Magic Planet, the largest indoor familyentertainment centre in the country, a 14-screen Cinestar Cinemas and the Dubai Community Arts and Theatre with a 500 seat-theatre and art gallery.
This mixed use development will incorporate two hotels, including a 5-star Kempinski, which will offer over 900 rooms combined, a host of licensed restaurants, tennis court, swimming pools and spas.
The mall was opened along with the Venetian Hotel in 1999. It has indoor canals, where gondolas will take you around the mall. The mall is anchored by a flagship, high-fashion Barneys New York store and contains many designer and upscale boutiques. Live performances can be found throughoutthe mall.
As of 2008, the mall was seeing 20 million visitors a year, among the highest in the country.
Whether it's art, fashion, food, entertainment or lifestyle, you'll find its most sophisticated appearance at Wafi. In 2008, Wafi received awards for Best Shopping Mall, Best Restaurant, Best New Hotel, Best Spa and Best Independent Boutique. With a famous souk, world-class shopping and the finest dining in Dubai, there's only one Wafi.
Built in 1981, the mall has over 800 stores and services and parking for more than 20,000 vehicles. The mall also includes theme areas including: Bourbon Street (New Orleans-styled clubs and restaurants), Europa Boulevard, and Chinatown. The mall has a theme park called Galaxyland whith a number of attractions including a roller coaster. In addition, the mall has an indoor lake, which is home to four sea lions and a replica of the Santa Maria. The mall also has a hotel, indoor shooting range, petting zoo, dinner theater, cinemas, four radio stations and an inter-denominational chapel.
The mall has 1,200 shops and houses and an aquarium, which earned the Guinness World Record for the world's "Largest Acrylic Panel". The mall also is home to an ice rink, 250-room luxury hotel, 22 cinema screens plus 120 restaurants and cafes. It also features the unique "malls-within-a-mall" concept with themed shopping areas like Gold Souk, Fashion Island, and The Grove, an indoor-outdoor streetscape with a fully retractable roof.
The centre is noted for its size: with a retail floor area of 150,000m² (1.615m ft²), the equivalent of about 30 football pitches. At the time of its opening it was reported to be the third largest shopping centre in the United Kingdom.

Gentle readers, my apologies for being so long in returning to blogging. Inspiration has sometimes been a bit lacking, and when it wasn't, time was. But be assured I have no plans to abandon this enterprise without notice, though I may take breaks from time to time. I'm also hoping to bring back guest posts to keep things going when I don't have the time.
On to today's main event. This morning I received an email from a colleague pointing me in the direction of the GIS Lounge, specifically the recent post there entitled "Ten Things to Consider When Making a Map." It's a well-intentioned piece — many people out there who are just starting out begin with the question, "how do I make good maps?", and there are several other forums and websites out there which give aid to the uninitiated. Unfortunately, the GIS Lounge chose to give the following as one of their pieces of advice:
6. Incorporating Map Elements
Making sure that all map elements are properly applied is important for providing readers with the context of the map. All maps should have a clear and concise title, scale bar, and north arrow.
I can think of few more misguided statements about cartography. Longtime readers know that I am the head of the Worldwide Campaign to Eliminate Needless North Arrows, as well as the International Crusade Against Useless Scale Bars. Such elements often end up as no more than functionless clutter, yet we are told that they are mandatory all the same. If you click on the link above, you'll be taken to the GIS Lounge's list of "required" map elements (edit: shortly after I made this post, the page was changed to no longer call them "required"), including scale bars, north arrows, and legends. To be fair, the GIS Lounge is by no means alone in advising that there are certain things that every map simply must have — such declarations are unfortunately not rare. However, their "What's in a Map" post is probably the most prescriptive one I've seen in a good while.
To begin, the entire concept of a list of "things you must do to make a proper map" is deeply, fundamentally flawed. It's as misguided as a list of "things you must do to make a good painting," or "things that make a good story." Everything is contextual, depending on your audience, the message and mood you want to convey, how the work will be used, etc. It's impossible to say something is required for every single situation. It's not just the impracticality that's a problem, though. The real issue is that such lists of "things maps must have" have their roots in a concept of cartography as a series of steps to follow or pieces to assemble, rather than a holistic art form or craft. Good maps are not made by following a simple mindless procedure or making sure you've ticked off all the boxes. That kind of attitude is how maps end up featured on this site. It's also the only way machines can make maps at the moment, and it's probably why they're often so poorly done (see also this post I made on my other blog).
A list of requirements for how to make a good map is dangerous because it tempts beginners into shutting off their critical thinking and their creativity. Rather than consider why something should be done, or trying something new, they simply follow the list. I've seen it far too often in students. It also leads people to criticize and think narrowly about otherwise good maps because they don't fit rigid expectations. Instead of a requirement list, I would say that the best we can do is simply give a list of things to think about when making a map, not things that must be done. To their credit, the GIS Lounge leads off their "Ten Things to Consider" piece with the caveat that these are simply suggestions, "a starting point of things to contemplate."
Beyond the philosophical problems of actually having a list of required map elements, there are issues with the specific items on the list. Namely, not all maps actually need these elements. Let's take them one at a time.
Title: Most maps do probably need titles, but it really depends on the context. Something sitting in the midst of a textbook page may have an explanatory caption, instead. A well-done legend often explains what the map is about as clearly and as quickly as a title, as well.
North Arrow: Most maps don't need a north arrow. I honestly cannot fathom why they are so popular. Consider the following map:
It has no north arrow. Most of us can recognize the United States, and we're able to, say, determine that Texas is south of Minnesota. Even if we weren't familiar with the area depicted, we'd probably assume north is toward the top (and, if it's not, then a north arrow becomes a much more necessary element), as that's the common convention we've learned. But what if you didn't know this convention and honestly weren't sure about which way was north? How would you possibly orient yourself? Well, you probably don't need to. You're probably not planning on navigating using this map and a compass. Many north arrows on maps aren't telling you anything you actually need to know, or don't already know. They're just in the way.
Of course, worse than having a needless north arrow is an inaccurate one. Consider the Robinson Projection:
Dropping a north arrow onto this map would be misleading, because where north is varies based on where you are on the map. It's not always straight up — sometimes it's up and to the left, sometimes up and to the right, sometimes straight up. The angle of north varies on most map projections, including the one above. Far better than a north arrow in this case is to use a graticule — the grid of latitude and longitude lines, which shows a reader how the cardinal directions change across the map. But even this is not mandatory — a graticule, like a north arrow, is only useful if people really need to have some idea as to directions. Certainly this happens from time to time — if you're teaching kindergartners where the continents are, then they probably need that information. But if you're showing this to a tenured professor, they probably already know that New Zealand is east of Australia.
And I won't even get in to the times I've seen students put north arrows on maps of the South Pole.
Scale: Again, most maps don't need a scale, either. Will people reading your map really be comparing sizes or measuring distances? Probably not. Again, this is partly a matter of your audience's familiarity with the area depicted, but if I'm reading the map below, I really don't care how far apart the states are:
Of course, the other issue is that, since all map projections necessarily distort, the scale of a map is different everywhere. Sometimes the changes are small enough that it's not a problem, but a scale bar on a world map is going to be wrong most everywhere. It's better to leave it off rather than to mislead.
Legend: Finally, many maps can do without legends. For a prime example, have a look again at a map I tackled last year:
The legend on this map is completely pointless. Better to write "Cairanne" next to the big red dot in France and trust that readers will figure it out. Map literacy is much like verbal literacy — people learn certain conventions, and we can rely upon most adult audiences to know these. We know that the red dots are cities, and that the words next to them are the city names. No one needs to tell us that at this age. It's just a waste of our time and space, and potentially confusing (one can wonder if Cairanne is actually a city out in the Mediterranean). Legends aren't needed to explain every little tiny symbol; just the ones that your audience won't know.
As with everything that goes onto a map, conscious thought has to go into application of map elements. They should not be rote, or random. They should be employed with consideration of the map's purpose and audience. That's what design is — consciousness. It is misleading to say that legends or scales or other map elements are mandatory, and such statements will only lead to more bad maps. We must teach thoughtfulness and sound judgment, not obedience.
I've decided to consolidate the Worldwide Campaign to Eliminate Needless North Arrows and the International Crusade Against Useless Scale Bars into the Global Consortium for the Thoughtful Employment of Map Elements (GCTEME). If you would like to join, send a self-addressed, stamped envelope to the following address:
Daniel Huffman
c/o: University of Wisconsin Cartography Lab
550 North Park St.
Madison, WI 53706
I will send you back a letter of membership that looks very official and which will win you respect at NACIS. There are no membership requirements, nor are there actually any benefits. Or activities to speak of, except telling your friends about it.

Lou Albano, Junk Yard Dog, Hillbilly Jim and their colleagues approach singing with the same degree of seriousness and skill as they do poking each other's eyes out. That is to say, they make a feeble show of it and never come close to the real thing. Don't be fooled: This is not funny bad music, it's just bad. There doesn't seem to be any attempt at cleverness. There's only, for instance, Albano croaking out his name for three minutes or Nikolai Volkoff singing Cara Mia even further off key than Jay and the Americans did. The only wrestler who might be able to sing his way into a third-grade chorus is Jimmy Hart, whose Eat Your Hart Out, Rick Springfield is, if not a bright spot, at least a moment when the earmuffs can come off without risking permanent apoplexy. The best possible explanation for this album is that one of its producers, Jim Steinman, is a longtime collaborator of Meat Loaf's and may be trying to curry favor with the grappling crowd in case Meat needs to turn to the mats to pick up some spending money.

campbell mattinson needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 183 designs submitted by 29 freelance designers.
jack mattinson's wine label
Jack Mattinson's is a boutique wine brand. There is only one wine in the range, and it is called Jack Mattinson's Deluxe Dry Red. It is a red wine. There is more information about Jack Mattinson in the Target Audience box below.
This logo will sit on the front of a wine bottle, and the background will be white. I want this logo to be in 2 colours - red (PMS 186 or similar) and black.
Because this is a wine bottle, and because bottles curve - and because Jack Mattinson's is a fairly long band name - I suspect that I want the words Jack and Mattinson's to run one atop the other ... rather than horizontally.
Jack Mattinson loved cows, among other things, and ran them on his farm. A cow might be a good aspect of the logo.
The main focus of this logo though is the name: Jack Mattinson's. I want this name to look strong, and probably to be in red. Jack Mattinson was a farmer in the 1940s and 1950s and 1960s and 1970s. Strong.
More on Jack Mattinson's:
"JACK MATTINSON was self-taught from books. He rose to own a corner store in the 1950s but he wanted to grow things, so he moved to the bush and carved a farm out with hand-saws. He built one house in his life; where he & wife Elma lived. There he grew masses of green vegetables, fields of corn & potatoes, ran cows for milk & meat, & swapped hessian bags of potatoes for eggs. He was a great advocate of the cos lettuce, the diesel engine, & of a daily spoonful of molasses. He made his own beer and his own bread, the latter so heavy with wholegrain you could chisel your name in it. He trapped rabbits & ate them. Everywhere he went, he whistled. And every day at lunch he drank a glass of wine and then had a kip on the couch. It was easy to idolise him.
In his later years, he often cried when he said goodbye to you. Now that he's gone, I'm forever talking of him & his farm, where he grew more things than I could imagine.
JACK MATTINSON'S is a plush blend of Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon. What a pleasure it would be to sit at his table and pour Jack a glass, alongside rabbit or anything else, & wait for him to start whistling again.
Logo, in two colours, that I can place onto the front of a white wine label.
Thank you all for your input!

COUNTY HOMESTEADS: 350 homes not yet verified
COLUMBIA CITY — There were 350 listings of homesteads in Whitley County that were not verified as of tax bill time.For these individuals, they will now have a higher tax bill to pay if they do not clarify with the auditor's office.Whitley County Auditor Jen McGuire said the biggest problem could be how long it takes for the person to realize that there is an issue."My only fear is that the homeowner escrows their taxes into their house payment and will not know of the increase until they have a shortfall in their escrow account," she said. "Then, their house payment will increase to cover the shortage, and they will have no knowledge of that until next year when the mortgage company wants to increase the house payment to cover the shortfall."Apart from that, McGuire hopes homeowners realize the higher tax bill and either affirm they should be off the list or clarify with the auditor's office.To read the rest of this story, see the April 6 issue of The Post and Mail.

December 13, 2012 — The Michigan Senate on Wednesday voted 27-10 to approve broad legislation (HB 5711) that would place several new restrictions on abortion providers, MLive reports (Martin, MLive, 12/12).
The bill would require physicians to determine if a woman has been coerced into seeking an abortion and deliver a written "risk assessment" to patients at least 24 prior to an abortion. The bill also would ban the use of telemedicine in reproductive health care, including for birth control (Bouffard, Detroit News, 12/12).
Additionally, the legislation would require facilities that provide 120 or more abortions per year to undergo inspections and pay an annual licensing fee -- currently $238 -- to become certified as outpatient surgical centers. Although it is not clear how many clinics the Senate's version of the bill would affect, the House bill would require 16 state abortion providers to gain additional licensure, according to estimates from the state's Bureau of Health Systems.
Opponents of the legislation said the most costly provision relates to the bills' requirement that abortion clinics meet the same building standards as outpatient surgical centers.
State Sen. Rebekah Warren (D) unsuccessfully attempted to add provisions aimed at reducing the number of unplanned pregnancies, including expanding access to birth control. Amendments intended to highlight the bill's lack of gender parity -- including a requirement that men's vasectomies be permitted only when necessary to prevent death -- also were rejected (MLive, 12/12).
The legislation now returns to the House for a concurrence vote before it will be sent to Gov. Rick Snyder (R) for approval (Daum, Lansing State Journal, 12/12).
Warren said the bill is an attempt to keep "chipping away at [the] fundamental right to choose," adding that it represents a "shameless" and "backdoor" attempt to restrict abortion access (MLive, 12/12).
Senate Minority Leader Gretchen Whitmer (D) said Michigan is on the way to becoming the most regressive state in the country with regard to women's reproductive rights. She referenced another bill passed earlier this month that imposes restrictions on abortion coverage.
Meghan Groen, government relations director of Planned Parenthood Advocates of Michigan, also weighed in on the bill's passage. In an email to supporters on Wednesday, she wrote, "House Bill 5711 is vague, poorly written and will have incredibly serious ramifications for women," adding, "This legislation undermines women's access to health care and gives politicians, not doctors, control over personal medical decisions."
House Comm. Approves Refusal Bill
Separately on Wednesday, the House Insurance Committee approved a bill (SB 975) that would allow health care providers and insurers to refuse to offer or cover services because of religious or moral objections.
The bill also prohibits discrimination against providers or payers that refuse to provide or pay for the services.
Lawmakers hope to adjourn for the year on Thursday and are in a rush to complete action on several bills, the Detroit News reports. SB 975 is among the bills the full House could consider on Thursday, according to Ari Adler, a spokesperson for House Speaker Jase Bolger (R) (Detroit News, 12/12).

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – On the heels of averaging 11.2 points-per-game as a sophomore, Lipscomb forward Martin Smith has been named to the Lindy's Sports Preseason All-Atlantic Sun Conference Second Team.
The Clarksville, Tenn. native played in all 30 games last season averaging 32.4 minutes-per-game, a figure that ranked seventh highest in the A-Sun.
"It's worth noting anytime a player is recognized as one of the best, so we celebrate that with Martin," said Lipscomb head coach Casey Alexander. "With our lack of overall team size, we'll need Martin to provide a significant scoring punch this year. He's already regarded as one of our best defenders."
Defending A-Sun Tournament champion Florida Gulf Coast was picked to finish atop the league standings ahead of Mercer and USC Upstate. The Bisons were tabbed for a seventh-place finish behind Jacksonville, ETSU and North Florida, respectively.
Lipscomb tips off the 2013-14 season on Halloween night hosting Freed Hardeman in an exhibition tilt at Allen Arena at 6 p.m. The regular season gets underway just over a week later with the "Battle of the Boulevard" on Nov. 8 that is also set for a 6 p.m. start.
Season tickets are on sale now. To purchase yours visit: http://www.LipscombTickets.com or call 615-966-HERD (4373) to get your tickets.

On the blog I like to use the phrase "this is seriously the best thing I've ever made" a lot! I realize that I can't claim that everything I make is the best thing ever, so for this recipe I brought in reinforcements!
Both my roommate and a good friend ate this dish and said it was the best thing they've ever eaten. There you go, verified, best thing ever 😉
