2003 Nissan Frontier ReviewThis car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale.
Still out front in the compact-pickup field.
Nissan's Frontier pickup offers a lot of excitement, with bold, industrial styling and an optional supercharged engine.
Frontier continues to be a leader in innovation among compat pickups. Last year, the Nissan Frontier became the first compact pickup that didn't force you to give up bed length in order to gain a full-size back seat. The Crew Cab model is available with either a 4-foot-8-inch bed or a standard-length 6-foot bed.
Now the 2003 Frontier is also the first compact pickup to offer electronic stability control, and the first to offer a tire-pressure monitoring system.
Nissan claims more than a dozen enhancements for 2003. Among them: Frontier's optional 3.3-liter V6 engine is more powerful and gets better gas mileage.
Nissan builds Frontier in nearly three dozen possible permutations of cab style, bed length, driveline, and trim level. Retail prices range from $12,989 to $26,939. Frontier does not, however, offer what most pickup manufacturers call a standard cab. Instead, buyers choose between extended King Cab or four-door Crew Cab. King Cabs have two doors, front bucket seats and additional seating for two passengers in fold-down rear jump seats. King Cab beds are 74.6 inches long (6 feet, 2.6 inches).
Crew Cab models come with something closer to a standard-size back seat and four full-size, forward-hinged doors. To keep its overall length compact, the standard Frontier Crew Cab features a shorter-than-standard 56.3-inch bed (4 feet, 8.3 inches). But the Long Bed Crew Cab, introduced last year, comes with the same 74.6-inch bed as the King Cab. The longer bed addresses one of the biggest drawbacks to the new breed of compact crew cab pickups. In the past, buyers have had to accept a short bed to gain real back seats. That's not an issue for many buyers, but those who need a long bed really need a long bed. Nissan says most Frontier buyers choose the Crew Cab, with half of those buying the short bed, half buying the long bed.
Three engines are available: The 3.3-liter single-cam V6 is rated 180 horsepower (10 more than last year) and 202 pounds-feet of torque. A supercharged V6 increases output to 210 horsepower and 246 pounds-feet (231 lb.-ft. with manual transmission). A 2.4-liter twin-cam four-cylinder engine is available only with a 2WD King Cab XE, rated 143 hp and 154 lbs.-ft. of torque.
A five-speed manual transmission is standard with all three engines. A four-speed automatic is optional. Automatic transmission is standard on supercharged Crew Cabs. 2WD and 4WD are available with V6-powered Frontiers.
XE base-level trim is pretty basic. Power steering is included but even air conditioning is an option ($1199, which includes a radio and CD player). XE has 15-inch painted steel wheels and single-channel ABS for the rear wheels only.
SE comes with air conditioning, audio, and cruise control; four-wheel, three-channel ABS; automatic transmission; 16-inch alloy wheels; tilt steering with a leather-wrapped wheel; power windows; and other amenities. SE prices start at $20,569 for the King Cab, $22,289 for the Crew Cab.
Supercharged Frontiers are designated S/C and come with most SE equipment, plus 17-inch aluminum wheels with P265/55R17 (4x2) or P265/65R17 (4x4) BF Goodrich Rugged Trail tires, specially tuned suspension with raised ground clearance for 4x4 models, limited-slip differential, 100-watt AM/FM/CD audio system and titanium-colored gauges. S/C prices start at $20,819 for the King Cab and $23,789 for the Crew Cab. Leather-appointed bucket seats with red-on-charcoal stitching are an exclusive S/C option. New for 2003 is the Frontier SVE (for Supercharged Value Edition), a premium supercharged 4x4 model starting at $21,409 for the King Cab and $24,419 for the Crew Cab.
Desert Runner is based on the 4x2 King Cab V6 and emulates the specially prepared trucks used by teams to pre-run big desert races. Like those trucks, Desert Runners have two-wheel drive, but feature the same heavy-duty chassis, ride height and stance as the rugged 4x4 models. Nissan claims that the Desert Runner is roughly 500 pounds lighter than a standard Frontier King Cab V6 4x4 (eliminating four-wheel-drive alone saves 296 pounds), giving it the best power-to-weight ratio of any Frontier pickup. Desert Runners come with fender flares, skid plates for the engine and fuel tank, a full-size spare and four-wheel ABS. Special badges distinguish Desert Runner models, which are available in XE, SE, and S/C trim.
Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) with traction control ($749 on XE, $549 on SE and S/C) is a new option for 2003 Frontier 4x4s. VDC controls brake pressure and engine torque automatically to reduce understeer or oversteer in slippery sit.
Nissan Frontier is a compact truck with a big, bold design, starting with an industrial-grade front end that looks like a cross between a power tool and a boxing glove. This truck won't go unnoticed, like the relatively bland Toyota Tacoma.
That powerful look includes a body-colored grille, which incorporates a faux bash guard made of tough plastic, an original design. The front end comes off as bulky without being big, and the rounded edges emphasize that Pow!-in-your-face boxing-glove look. The hoodline is tall, the clear halogen headlights and round Maxima foglights are oversized, and the turn signals goggle-like. Large fender flares with integral mud flaps span radial wheel arches, and have a finish that's deliberately duller than the body. They're attached by prominent tabs that look like bolt heads, which cause people to walk up and see if they twist. There's something right about any design feature that draws people to touch it. The gas tank opening is boldly notched into the right rear fender flare.
Around back you'll find a standard tailgate lock, designed to keep the tailgate itself from being stolen, not what's in the bed. Because tailgates get smashed so easily the demand for them is high, which keeps thieves busy; the lock should slow them down at least.
XE models have 15-inch wheels (alloys if they are V6-powered) shod in P225/70R15 rubber (P265/70R15 with the V6). SE models roll on six-spoke 16-inch alloy wheels, a new design this year. They wear P255/65R16 tires on the 2WD SE; SE 4WD and SVE models come with wider and taller 265/70R16 tires. The S/C is planted to the ground with P265/55R17s in 2WD mode, P265/65R17s with 4WD.
Crew Cab short bed holds just 33 cubic feet of cargo space, compared with 44.1 cubic feet for the remaining models.
With either bed, you can gain about 16 inches of length with an optional bed extender, a hinged aluminum rack that effortlessly flips back 180 degrees to frame the end of the lowered tailgate. Flip the bed extender forward, close the tailgate, and it provides a contained area for groceries or other small cargo. When you want it out of the way, the bed extender can be quickly removed. Unlike a solid tailgate, however, the bed extender won't hold back dirt or anything that can slip between its aluminum tubes.
On the roof is a beefy tubular rack, first featured on the Xterra; it can be fitted with Yakima attachments to carry skis, snowboards and mountain bikes. A bed-mounted bike rack is also available.
The engine compartment is tidy and roomy, and everything looks well balanced and accessible. SE and supercharged models now come with a heavy-duty 100-amp alternator and an under-hood junction outlet for easy wiring of aftermarket accessories. The hood closes with a solid thunk, as do the four doors.
Nissan Frontier's interior is comfortable and effuses an industrial look that complements its exterior.
Front seats are comfortable and supportive. Leather is available in the Crew Cab. The leather seats are truly excellent. Long trips are comfortable for front-seat occupants.
The console layout is tidy and handsome. The 2003 center dash and instrument panel represent a big improvement over the silver plastic used two years ago. The instrument panel is striking with a two-tone titanium-colored background. At night the numbers illuminate, but because they're outlined in white instead of being bold, they're difficult to read. The digital clock is positioned so it's virtually impossible to read in the sunlight, and the little green lights indicating air conditioning are too dim and tiny.
The CD changer holds six CDs, which can be selected with the six radio-station buttons. There are two cool buttons for the emergency flashers and rear window defogger, rectangular and totally flat on the face of the panel. The heater controls are three big switches with wings, easy to operate while wearing gloves.
There are front and rear auxiliary DC outlets in addition to the cigarette lighter. Big fixed cup holders are provided front and rear. The front cup holders on the center console work well. There's another tray ideal for a cell phone forward of the shift lever. Three grab handles are provided for climbing in and out, and available running boards make the step up easy. Radio and cruise controls are located on the leather-wrapped steering wheel, with wide spokes positioned at 3, 9, 5 and 7 o'clock. The whole padded center of the wheel is a horn button, the best and safest arrangement because of the quick access it provides.
Technically, the Crew Cab is a five-seater, but don't count on it. Don't count on even two adults being comfortable for long in the back seat if they're taller than five-foot-two. Getting in and out of the back seat is awkward for adults, as they have to swing their feet around the B-pillars behind the front seats. The rear seat space is tight in terms of leg room and knee room, but there is good head room and elbow room, and children seem to find the space comfortable enough. There are provisions back there for the installation of a child safety seat, something that can't always be found in extended cabs.
A rear-window defogger is standard in the Crew Cab; so is privacy glass for the rear side windows. An optional flip-up sunroof provides some ventilation but doesn't open fully to the sky.
Driving Impression
Nissan's Frontier rides and handles very well, for a truck. It feels nimble in corners, and the steering is responsive. The front wheels stay glued to the road when cornering and the rear end never feels light over bumps. It rides like a truck, and you can feel road vibration through the steering wheel and the seat of your pants.
'Solid' is the word that kept appearing in our driving notes, along with 'tight' and 'smooth.' Consistent high ratings in every respect, without a single quirk or flaw.
The Crew Cab is a bit heavier than two-door Frontiers. With its standard short bed, its 56/44 weight distribution is marginally better than the King Cab's 57/43, although that advantage disappears when you order the long bed. Two-wheel-drive Crew Cabs also get a rear stabilizer bar in addition to the standard front stabilizer bar. Low-profile tires probably make a significant contribution to the Frontier's handling prowess.
The anti-lock brakes do their job, although the Frontier uses less-expensive drum brakes in the rear.
The four-speed automatic transmission upshifts sharply, but as smoothly as an expensive sedan's when your foot's on the floor. The automatic doesn't hunt a lot when the engine is being challenged on hills.
The standard 3.3-liter V6 accelerates with reasonable lightness, and a steady 70 mph comes at just 2700 rpm. But the engine growls like it's working hard when the automatic transmission kicks down to tackle a hill. The 180 horses pulling this 3989-pound truck will be enough for most people, but more power is always nice.
The supercharged version of this engine improves acceleration performance, but it doesn't make the Frontier a hot rod. Still, the additional 44 pounds-feet of torque should improve towing performance.
Nissan Frontier offers bold styling and innovative design. These trucks handle well and the optional supercharged engine delivers decent performance. Frontier comes with a comfortable cabin. The Crew Cab increases versatility, though back-seat legroom is lacking.

Staff Sgt. Ty Michael Carter will receive the Medal of Honor, the White House announced July 26, making him the second soldier to be honored with the nation's highest valor award for actions during a fierce October 2009 battle in Afghanistan.
The ceremony is scheduled for Aug. 26 at the White House. Carter will be inducted into the Pentagon Hall of Heroes Aug. 27.
Carter, who was a scout assigned to B Troop, 3rd Squadron, 61st Cavalry Regiment, 4th Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division, is credited with braving fierce enemy fire to treat and carry a fellow soldier to safety during one of the largest, most vicious battles against U.S. forces in Afghanistan.
He will be the fifth living service member to receive the Medal of Honor for actions in Afghanistan or Iraq. Seven service members have posthumously been awarded the Medal of Honor for their actions in those wars.
Carter's troop-mate, former Staff Sgt. Clinton L. Romesha, received the Medal of Honor during a ceremony Feb. 11.
Both men were part of a small American force at Combat Outpost Keating in eastern Afghanistan on Oct. 3, 2009, when an enemy force estimated to number more than 300 attacked the COP, intent on overrunning the outnumbered U.S. forces.
Eight Americans were killed and about two dozen others were wounded, but the soldiers defeated the enemy and saved the COP.
Carter, who said he is feeling "very nervous" about receiving the Medal of Honor, downplayed his actions.
"It wasn't just me," he said. "Everyone pulled through. They all performed excellently, bravely.
"I really wish there was some way that I could share the prestige and the honor of this medal with them, and not to mention the families of the fallen," he said. "In the end, they probably deserve this medal more than I do because of the losses that they received."
Several other soldiers at COP Keating that day have been honored for their actions. According to Army Times' reporting and the book "The Outpost," by journalist Jake Tapper, at least nine soldiers were awarded the Silver Star, the nation's third-highest award for valor.
Carter, 33, now assigned to the 7th Infantry Division at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Wash., still struggles with memories of that day.
One of the most difficult things he has done was speak with the mother of Spc. Stephan Mace, the soldier Carter carried to safety but who later succumbed to his wounds.
"That was one of the harder parts, telling Mace's mother that I'm sorry I didn't get to him in time," Carter said.
Carter also was one of the last people to see Staff Sgt. Justin Gallegos and Staff Sgt. Vernon Martin alive.
"It's bad to be the last one to see these men alive, to believe you failed somebody after doing everything you could," Carter said, his voice choked with emotion.
But the families of those men have been very supportive, he said.
"They were very respectful and appreciative of the things I did and the things the soldiers did that day to help each other through that terrible day," he said.
Carter suffered scrapes and bruises, a concussion, minor shrapnel wounds and hearing loss in his left ear. Psychologically, he continues to cope with post-traumatic stress, and he credits his platoon sergeant at the time, Sgt. 1st Class Jonathan Hill, for seeing almost immediately that he needed help.
The men had barely left COP Keating when Hill "saw there was a problem in me, something had changed in a bad way," Carter said.
Hill escorted Carter to see Capt. Katie Kopp, a behavioral health specialist for the unit, and, together with the chaplain, they worked with Carter in Afghanistan and later back at Fort Carson, Colo. Carter continued to receive treatment when he moved to Joint Base Lewis-McChord.
"Because of them, I can function very well as a citizen and also continue to be a professional soldier," Carter said. "The entire team and my leadership have helped me be where I am today."
The help he received also enabled Carter to return to Afghanistan last year for a second deployment, this time to Kandahar.
Carter is committed to the Army at least until 2018, and he is focusing on telling the story of the brothers he lost that day, he said.
Carter said he also wants to recognize the family of a ninth soldier, Pvt. Edward Faulkner Jr., who struggled with post-traumatic stress and died from an overdose after returning from Afghanistan.
"I'm just trying to do what I can to make sure the soldiers from COP Keating receive the recognition they deserve," he said. "When I'm no longer needed to tell the story and assist in the remembering of the actions of Black Knight Troop and the men who fell, when that's completed, I will be able to choose my direction after that."

Looking Closer at the Moon
When you see the Moon in the sky at night, it looks smooth and white. And for thousands of years, that's what everyone thought the Moon was really like. No one had ever seen the Moon up close.
The Moon looks very different through a telescope. It isn't smooth at all. When early scientists first saw the mountains and craters on the Moon, they were very surprised.
They saw darker areas of the Moon, too. Some thought these might be oceans or seas. They didn't know there was no water on the Moon.
When astronauts finally landed on the Moon, it didn't look white. It was grayish-brown and covered with dust. And, of course, there was no water.
The astronauts explored the surface of the Moon and did experiments to find out more about how the Moon was formed. They even brought back moonrocks to study, so that scientists on Earth—and you, too—can look even closer at what the Moon is made of.
- telescope:
- A telescope is a tool that helps people see things that are far away. Telescopes are made of curved pieces of glass or mirrors inside a tube. People can use them to look at stars.
- What is the surface of the Moon like?
[anno: The surface of the Moon has mountains and craters and is covered with grayish-brown dust.]
- What did the astronauts bring back from the Moon?
[anno: The astronauts brought moonrocks back from the Moon.]
- Would you like to travel to the Moon? Why or why not?
[anno: Answers will vary.]

While Windows Phone has always had great native support for uploading images to social networks, you have to do it one at a time. SNUpload helps to solve that by allowing you to upload your images to multiple networks at once.
SNUpload is a handy little app for both Windows Phone 7.5 and 8 users that will let you caption and upload an image to both Facebook and Twitter. The advantage this app has over native Facebook and Twitter integration, besides simultaneous uploading, is that you can have multiple Facebook or Twitter accounts plugged into the app. While the majority of you may only have on account per social network, this app can be handy for people running multiple Twitter handles.
Future updates to SNUpload will bring support for Flickr, Pinspiration, Dropbox, SkyDrive, Facebook pages and Box.com (though SkyDrive might be a bit redundant).
The app is worth checking out if you share the same pictures across your social networks and promises to get better over time. Unfortunately, there is no trial version, but you can pick it up for $1.29 right here in the Marketplace or use the QR code below.

OLYMPIA The "Grand Coulee to Grunge" exhibit, featuring eight stories that changed the world including construction of Grand Coulee Dam, opens Sept. 4 at the State Capitol.
The Office of Secretary of State exhibit celebrates Washington's great triumphs, from the dam to the Boeing Co. to Starbucks.
"Grand Coulee to Grunge: Eight stories that changed the world" is an image-driven exhibit that recounts feats in business, science, technology and music with influence around the globe.
Secretary of State Kim Wyman said the free, privately funded exhibit is designed to foster a better understanding of Washington, from its unique position along the Pacific Rim to the innovators and risk takers who carried the Washington name to the world stage.
"The innovative spirit of Washington is second to none," Wyman said. "We're fortunate to live in a place respected around the world for its innovation, vision and investment in the future.
"This exhibit captures our global achievements in a way that is very interesting to see."
After a year in Olympia, the exhibit will travel to heritage organizations statewide.
An opening reception is planned from 4-6 p.m. in the Capitol Rotunda and the Office of the Secretary of State.
The exhibit features:
• Building the Future, which looks at Weyerhaeuser's rise into a timber empire.
• Creating the "Eighth Wonder," which is about the building of the Grand Coulee Dam and how it revolutionized Washington agriculture by bringing irrigation to a parched Eastern Washington, provided cheap hydroelectric power and aided in the production of aluminum for Boeing aircraft used in World War II.
• Ended the War, which reviews the Hanford Nuclear Reservation's quiet yet vital role in providing plutonium for the atomic bomb dropped on Nagasaki, Japan, helping end World War II.
• Introduced Air Travel, which spotlights Boeing's central role in aerospace and its contributions to world air travel, and its role in the creation of the Saturn V rocket that launched several Apollo missions to the moon.
• Feeding the Globe, which tells how Washington's agriculture industry grew to become a worldwide leader in the export of apples, wheat, potatoes, wine and other first-class products.
• Exporting the Culture, which looks at innovative companies such as Microsoft, Starbucks, Costco and Amazon.com that have become known globally.
• Rocked the Planet, which takes viewers back to various times when Washington musicians reached stardom and legendary status, from crooner Bing Crosby to famed guitarist Jimi Hendrix to Nirvana, which exploded onto the rock music scene in the early 1990s and helped make grunge a household word.
• Wired the World, which looks at how Bill Gates and Paul Allen formed Microsoft and transformed it into a computer software colossus that helped connect the world and created thousands of "Microsoft millionaires" in Washington alone.

Before all the excitement of selecting fixtures, flooring and paint colours, you need to shop for the most important part of your renovation: your contractor. Since there are no laws in Ontario regulating who can call themselves a contractor, finding a reputable one can be a challenge.
"There's close to 1,600 socalled renovators in Ottawa and you can count on two hands who are any good," says Emile Salem, president of Ottawa Home Improvements and past chair of the Renovators' Council of the Greater Ottawa Home Builders' Association. So how can you be sure your contractor is legitimate? Find out if they're members of any associations such as GOHBA or RenoMark These are volunteer associations to which contractors must qualify and pay membership fees. "Anyone who has those designations takes them seriously," says Salem. Members agree to abide by codes of conduct and can be removed from the associations if complaints by unsatisfied customers are launched. A contractor who is listed with one of these associations is more likely to be reputable than someone you find from an online ad.
Don't rely on price alone Renovations are expensive and while we're all price sensitive, a low price may mean the contractor is inexperienced or is using poor-quality materials, says Salem.
"You can't just shop for the best price. You have to shop for the best company."
Ask for a written quote "Someone will say he'll do a bathroom for $10,000, then they start the job and $18,000 in invoices later the job is finished and (the homeowner) can't contest it because they didn't have anything in writing," says Salem. Ensure your quote is detailed with the scope of work, the type of materials that will be used and prospective start and end dates.
"Writing $10,000 on the back of a business card isn't a quote," says Salem.
Turn a quote into a contract Once you select a contractor from the many quotes you have received, it's time to write a contract.
The contract should include the type of fixtures to be used and who is responsible for purchasing them, warranties (Reno-Mark contractors must provide a two-year warranty on work), start and end dates, payment schedules and the deposit required, which can vary from 15 to 50 per cent, says John Manzo, owner of Tego Bathroom Design & Renovation Centre and present chair of the Renovators' Council.
"A proper contract is no less than three pages long, and if it's a $300,000 extension renovation, it could be 30 pages long," says Salem.
Ask for references Checking references is one way to verify if your prospective contractor is legitimate, but calling references isn't enough, says Manzo.
"Everyone has different standards of what is acceptable. The reference may say they did a great job but you might go there and the work isn't up to your standards," he says.
Ask if you can make an appointment to view the contractor's work.
Experience pays off You wouldn't hire a high school student to file your taxes, so why would you hire a contractor who specializes in flooring to renovate your kitchen? "They may take on that job because they don't have any work at that time and they're willing to start tomorrow (but you'll soon discover) you've got the wrong guy for the job and he's probably the low bid because he doesn't have the experience," says Manzo.
Asking whether your prospective contractor has experience in projects like yours can help avoid disappointments.
Double-check insurance Ensure your prospective contractor has up-to-date liability insurance of at least $2 million. Manzo says asking for a certificate of insurance that names you as the homeowner insured on their policy while work is being done on your property is one way to ensure the contractor's insurance is up to date. Workplace Safety and Insurance Board insurance is also important. "A subcontractor could come after your home ownership policy or you personally if they're injured on your site (and the contractor doesn't have WSIB)," says Manzo. Even if your contractor tells you they have WSIB insurance, get a copy of the policy and call to ensure it's enforced.
Hold back cash Ontario law allows homeowners to withhold 10 per cent of money owed to the contractor for a maximum of 45 days once the job is complete to allow the homeowner to assess whether there are any issues with the workmanship.
Ensure the holdback is included in the payment schedule of your contract.

Buzzcocks | REWIG112 | Released: 03/10/17
'It's the Buzz, Cock'.
Howard Devoto read this headline from a January 1976 Time Out review of 'Rock Follies', the 1970s TV musical drama following the ups and downs of the fictional female rock group, 'Little Ladies'.
Adapting and appropriating it as the name for his new band that he had just formed with Pete Shelley having realised what a Sex Pistol was before anyone else.
Buzzcocks formed having witnessed firsthand the white-heat of the early Sex Pistols. Howard and Pete went about organising the now infamous 1976 Lesser Free Trade Hall gigs that brought punk to the provinces and galvanized the new Manchester music revolution. The plan was to simply play support to the Pistols and then see what happened next…
Featuring the original line-up of Howard Devoto (vocals & songwriter), Pete Shelley (guitar & songwriter), Steve Diggle (bass guitar) and John Maher (drums), 'Time's Up' was recorded at Revolution Studios, Bramhall Lane Stockport on the 18th of October 1976. The session, recording Buzzcocks' live set at the time, cost £45 and was engineered by Andy MacPherson.

I have a few questions of my own to ask. Where did he pick up that style of speaking? From Andy Rooney? Isn't it ineffective to make statements over and over again in the form of rhetorical questions? Don't you run the risk of giving your audience the impression that you think they're stupid? That they really need your help to understand the depth of your wisdom? Do you think they enjoy being spoken to that way? Is that the way you talked to the juries who made you a member of "the first economy"?
Has anyone ever mentioned to you that your "two economies" riff is a tad obsolete? That it might have done wonders for Depression-era Democrats, but that it's exceeded it's useful life by about fifty years? That America isn't divided between the Kennedys or the Heinzes and the working poor? Did you happen to hear Barack Obama's speech the night before yours? Didn't the theme of his speech belie your thesis that America is divided in two? Doesn't his life story? Doesn't yours?

Calling all crafters! We've gathered designers from some of our favorite manufacturers to show you ways to create something from the heart this holiday season. This 3-day Hop includes over 60 stops with inspiration brimming from every corner. Explore all thoughtful and frugal handmade gifts you could make for the holidays, all in one place on this Hop!
To sweeten to Hop, we re offering a gift for you! For every comment you leave on the blogs in the Hop, you ll be entered to win a prize pack from one of the participating manufacturer sponsors!
I am representing Graphic 45 during this hop! Graphic 45 will be giving away the beautiful Christmas Emporium collection along with a 5x8 Altered Art Box, an Altered Art Metal Tin, and a Metal Ornate Metal Door Plate. A more than $60 value!
To show you what you can make with some of these products, I've made a fancy gift card holder! This altered envelope can be used to hold a gift card, small treats, become a package decoration, or even be used as wall art!
I do not make "quick and easy" gift projects. Even if I start out to do so, as I did here, they end up looking like...well, like this! (For a complete supply list, see the end of the post.)
This project is NOT as time consuming as it looks, and I do make use of packaging and other odds and ends!
Start out with one of the pages of a Graphic 45 Kraft Envelope Album and two tags from Graphic 45 packaging. I used the packaging from the metal flowers.
Cover the envelope and both tags with Graphic 45 papers and ink all edges. Now you have the base for your project.
Once your envelope and tags are covered with paper, you can decorate a little, or a lot. One of the tags can be glued to the front of the envelope as a decoration, as I did. And the second tag can be slipped inside the envelope to hold a gift card.
Since I love lumpy decorations, and I like to make my gift card holders EXTRA special, I added a lot of this and that to my project! To create the left side, I first painted an Ornate Metal Door Plate and several Metal Flower Staples with white acrylic paint.
I used pliers to bend my flowers into shape and glued the petals together. Tara Orr has a wonderful tutorial HERE for showing one way to do this. Mine are slightly different, but you get the idea. I always paint my flowers first, then dab them with chalk ink for added dimension.
Once I attached the metal door plate and flower, I added a crystal branch decoration and some velvet mistletoe and some berries. Very festive!
I wanted to make sure to have a Christmas message, so I stamped a sentiment with the Graphic 45/Hampton Art stamps, then used Spellbinders Labels Eighteen to cut out the image.
I like to stencil my images with chalk ink to give them more interest. I used French Blue chalk ink. It matches the Graphic 45 papers almost exactly!
I punched out a Santa image and glued it to a bottle cap - one of my "signature" embellishments! I made a second bottle cap for the top of my gift card tag, making the tag easier to pull out of the envelope.
I don't think I'll be making 100 of these decorated envelopes, but I can make a few for my most special people, and I can use all my extra packaging tags to make simple gift tags as well. I save ALL of my interesting packing for just this purpose.

"This year Wamidan extended our reach and recruited children," said Wabash Professor James Makubuya, artistic director of the College's Wamidan World Music Ensemble, which performs concerts at Wabash and across the Midwest. "These children are the future of our community, and the Wamidan Children's Ensemble helps them discover their talents."
The group of grade-schoolers and pre-schoolers is directed by Sister Stella Sabina, who wrote many of the songs for Sunday's performance.
"We don't take a Hollywood approach to our recruiting—there is no audition process. We believe each child is talented and beautiful and deserves an opportunity to bring the best out of himself or herself," said Sister Stella. "Whoever commits to weekly practices and accepts what it takes to work as a team is allowed to be a member."
The Tuula Ensemble—a group of Crawfordsville singers and instrumentalists comprising Professor Makubuya, Professor Dan Rogers, Jill Rogers, Trey and Lanie Rogers, Jim Swift, Betsy Swift, Sister Stella, and Steve Charles—will accompany the children. The afternoon fare will include not only the original songs performed by the Wamidan Children's Ensemble, but also traditional carols and an opportunity for the audience to join in and sing along.
The theme of the program is "the connectedness of all people, one to another," said Sister Stella, noting that while the children have appeared with the Wamidan World Music Ensemble and at a recent event to raise funds for a community in Kenya, Sunday's concert will be its first solo effort.
"Our performers have learned that all human beings are connected like a spider web and therefore should live as one family," she said. "After the program, they will share what they have with a family in need through the Youth Service Bureau.
"The children have worked hard, and I hope the community will come out and support them."
The event at Salter Hall in the College's Fine Arts Building is free and open to the public.

You want me to jump what?
Remember those warm sunny days on the playground in middle school? I'm willing to bet that is probably about the last time most people actually used a jump rope. I'm sure most of you had no idea that jumping rope is one of the best all around exercises you will find. It is always fun to see the look on people's faces when they come in to 9Round for the first time and we tell them they are going to jump rope at round 1. Jumping rope isn't one of those typical exercises that you will find in most fitness facilities. It is an extremely underutilized piece of workout equipment that can pay big dividends for those willing to use it.
Did you know that jumping rope burns more calories per minute than running a 6 minute mile? (For those who don't do much running, that is really stinking fast!) In comparison, it also has far less impact on your knees and ankles than running. So I'm sure you are wondering how a little rope can be so beneficial. That is a pretty easy one. Jumping rope brings together a combination of upper and lower body exercises in every rotation of the rope. The use of the legs and arms is easy to see. What many people overlook is the fact that you also have to engage your core for each jump. There are obviously great cardiovascular benefits as well. With so many benefits to jumping rope; is there any wonder why the 9Round workout begins this way?
Outside of the calorie burn and cardiovascular benefits, you will also enjoy improvements in timing and coordination. If you've ever watched even one boxing movie, you are sure to have seen jump rope used as part of the training routine. Boxers will utilize rope training as a way to improve foot speed, coordination, and balance. With constant practice you can enjoy improvements in timing and rhythm as well. Not only are you working your entire body, but you are exercising the most important muscle of all….your brain.
An added bonus is the fact that a jump rope can fit into any travel bag. Even if you are a frequent traveler you can take your rope and continue to take part in a great full body exercise.
So next time you see a couple of kids playing double-dutch on the play ground, don't be afraid to join in and get a quick workout.
Check out this video of the 9Round's Director of Boxing, Xavier Biggs, doing a little jump rope work: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3oeTxgHfmQ

In a bit of a surprise, the initial forecast for the 2006 California almond crop is 1.02 billion pounds.
It was surprising because an early frost damaged early blooming varieties and the spring was one of the wettest and coldest in recent years, prompting growers to spray fungicides repeatedly to protect the crop.
However, growers reported some of the most aggressive bee pollination in many seasons and bee supplies were more than adequate. Earlier growers were concerned there would not be enough bees to pollinate the crop, but record hive rental prices enticed more out-of-state beekeepers to bring more hives into the state.
If realized, it will be the fourth billion pound crop in the past five years and maybe one of the most welcomed billion-pound crops.
Last year's production was 915 million pounds, large by past industry standards, but not large enough to meet demand created by aggressive industry marketing efforts to increase demand for three consecutive 1-billion pound crops that netted growers record and near record prices for the same three years.
The 2005 short crop was the priciest yet, netting growers more than $3 per pound, almost $1 more per pound than the '05 average price. However, '06 prices also soured some growing markets for California almonds.
If this year's crop comes in as the May subjective measurement indicates, it should bring prices down to a more acceptable level for buyers. Nevertheless, strong prices for the 2006 crop could make almonds a $3 billion per year crop for California. Last year's crop is projected to total almost $2.8 billion.
The '06 subjective measurement is based on a telephone survey of 368 growers conducted April 24 through May 3. It is 11 percent more than growers produced last year. It does not take into account any loss from the annual "June drop." Acreage represented in the survey represented 24 percent of the total bearing acreage. An objective measurement will be taken in June.
The California 2006 almond set looks strong, despite several factors that could have led to a lighter set, according to the NASS California field office. There was a low accumulation of chilling hours that resulted in an early bloom, a frost hit some early varieties, and wet, cool conditions continued throughout the spring. However, California has the potential for a good almond crop, according NASS.
In general, the set is good in the Central Valley. The southern most producing counties are uniformly heavy in set. The northern most producing counties have a bit lighter set, which is likely due to frost effects. The dominant California almond variety, Nonpareil, has set well and is "looking very good," according to NASS.
This year is expected to begin a series of uninterrupted 1 billion pound annual crops with the 100,000 acres of new almond orchards planted in California within the past three years.
These new orchards can easily produce 300 million pounds more annually of almonds when they reach maturity. Although traditional wisdom says almond orchards do not begin producing until the third or fourth leaf, many newer, closer spaced orchards aggressively managed can have a harvestable crop by the second leaf and be nearing full production capacity by fifth or sixth leaf.
Rabobank's Food and Agribusiness Research group says that, while the last few years have been very lucrative for U.S. almond growers, resulting in expanded acreage and new plantings, California's challenge will be to increase demand to support 1.5-billion-pound annual crops on the horizon.
"The last few years have been very successful for almond producers, who have expanded their acreage and increased plantings," explains Chris Noble, Rabobank's Food and Agribusiness fresh produce analyst. "The first wave of new production will begin to hit the market in 2007 and continue through 2010."
Domestic demand for almonds has grown significantly in recent years, but California almond growers will need to look toward both the domestic and export markets for future growth.
U.S. almond consumption has doubled over the last decade, from a half-pound per person during the mid-1990s, to more than 1 pound per person over the last four years. Aggressive marketing efforts by the Almond Board of California to leverage the health benefits of almonds have contributed to these record consumption levels, as have the changing eating patterns of U.S. consumers, according to Rabobank.
For the 2006/2007 season, Spain, India, Germany, Japan and Italy are expected to import approximately 65 percent of California's total almond production. The strength of the Euro versus the U.S. dollar will continue to favor U.S. producers and ensure that U.S. exports to Europe remain strong.
"India. Russia and China are prime markets for export growth in the near term," says Noble. "However, these developing markets are particularly sensitive to price, so if prices for U.S. almonds increase, demand in these markets may not grow as anticipated and may even shrink."
A major challenge for California's almond producers will be to maintain the balance between profitable price levels and continued demand growth in some of these price sensitive markets.
Prices for the 2005 crop averaged $3.08 per pound, providing excellent returns for the "short crop" that was the fourth largest ever produced. However, year-to-date exports of in-shell almonds to India were down 36 percent from year-earlier levels, and total California exports were down by 20 percent. This decline can be mostly attributed to higher almond prices.
"Going forward, California almond growers need to keep in mind that, although global demand and appreciation for almonds is at an all-time high, it is important not to over-produce and to maintain the correct balance between supply and demand," concludes Noble.

Foundation Vent Definitions
"Surface Mount" means that the vent is made to mount on the wall without any louver box extending out the back of the unit.
"Recessed" means that the vent is made to set in the hole left by leaving a concrete block out of the wall. The outside of trim measurement must be the same as the hole so that the entire unit can set in the hole and back an inch or two from the surface of the wall.
"Flush Mount" means that the vent box will be made to fit into the hole left by the excluded block and that the face trim will be flush against the outside wall, or on top of the outside wall. Flush mount is really the same as the "Standard Jamb" application."
Redwood is not a custom selection. If you'd like Redwood used on your gable vent, please let us know and we can certainly make it for you. There will be an extended lead time but we can do it if you want it!

Setup for advanced "sfs" Squash files & sfsManager.
Usually files must be copied up to the Save file layer to install sfs files (MegaPup).
To use squash files as auto. install packages:
If a hidden dir.: /.install is found on the sfs file, sfsManager copies it's contense up to the Save file layer.
This would allow auto. sfs file install of even heavy apps. (KDE, Gnome, & even LanPuppy).
For dynamic menus & desktop icons:
Another hidden dir.: /.sfs would have menu additions for JWM, IceWM, Xfce, & maybe KDE & Gnome.
Icons for the ROX desktop & maybe other desktops are also in: /sfs
sfsManager would handle placing the menu items & icons.
Removing an sfs file:
The sfsManager would first check a list: /.sfs/apps.lst against "ps"
& show a warning for any apps. in the list that're running.
Then the menu items & icons are removed & the sfs file's all cleaned up.
If there's problems with the install files in the Save file, sfsManager could
also remove them with a tracking list: /sfs/install.lst
This is a rough draft for a system of swappable auto. install sfs files.
I hope a discussion will ensue & a good solid plan will emerge.
I think I've covered most of the basics that're required for workablity.
NOTE: The current version of sfsManager only adds or removes sfs files.
For Puppy-1.x.x versions ONLY, a TEST copy of sfsManager is at:
So..... What do you think Puppyites? Ideas, thoughts, rants, etc.?

Hi Gekko; I'm not sure what you mean, a Squash file squashes dirs. & files 2 to 3 times.
It's used as live r/o file system, read directly by the kernel, but not written to.
If your thinking of compression like Zip of Gzip I suppose it could be used that way.
It wouldn't be as widely useful like Gzip which is an executable & runs on any Linux & Win.
SquashFS is a Linux kernel module, that's needed to use the files as a live file system.
The utility: /usr/bin/mksquashfs makes a new Squash file or adds to it.

i thought the way .sfs files usually work, is that the file system in the .sfs file is mounted as a unionfs layer ... so the files in the .sfs file are not copied at all (unless you have a full hd install, in which case there is not pup_save file and the file system does not consist of unionfs layers)
a tar.gz file could be used as a container for files that would be copied to the file system ... what makes .sfs files useful, is that the file system in the sfs file is not copied, it is mounted, which doesn't use up space ... but having too many unionfs layers slows things down
you could set up a Run Action / File Association so that when a .sfs file is clicked, the files in the sfs file system would be copied to the correct locations ... or it might be mounted using unionfs when the file is clicked

Is there a practical limit to the number of sfs files? The reason I ask is that, speaking as a puppy novice, it occured to me it would be nice if the applications came in their own sfs separate from pup_###.sfs. So it would be something like ...
boot (?) : vmliniz, initrd.gz
pup_###.sfs - contains core functions, no applications at all, only X, maybe rvxt, rox
zdrv_###.sfs - drivers
apps_###.sfs - current application suite
pup_save.3fs - user data
The reason I think it would be neat would be that for people making modified puppies they would just make their own AlternateApps_###.sfs, and users could try different versions just by swapping the one sfs, so they would have roughly 30MB less to download to test different versions.
Also, provided having a lot of sfs wasn't a problem you could break apps_###.sfs into several like InternetApps.sfs, OfficeApps.sfs, MediaApps.sfs, UtilityApps.sfs, so the user could pick and choose which parts they wanted, similar to the way you can now by adding devx_###.sfs.
Top it all off with nice tools for switching them in and out of puppy without rebooting, plus a way for a user to make their own MyApps.sfs and it would be great system IMO, and very flexible. It would be extra good if the *Apps.sfs's could be more or less version independent, so to upgrade in a lot of cases you would only need to update the basic pup_###.sfs, or the other way round - leave your base as is and just update the apps.
Just some thoughts, that have probably been raised before. DB

David, the more .sfs files are used, the slower the system works (it is said, that this has to do with the number of loop-devices supported by the Kernel).
I think Puppy supports 8 loop-devices, 4 reserved for .sfs.
I made an approach to deliver a "user"-.sfs with a CD:
I'd be happy, if such a mechanism could make it officially into Puppy, so that I don't have to patch initrd.gz from Muppy with every new Puppy-version.

Well I didn't understand what was going on in any of those links
... but fools rush in ....
I wonder if it would be possible to build pup_###.sfs on the fly at boot. So then it would still only use one sfs but still have the flexibility. Eg if there was a script that ran during boot that found Pupconfig.ini, that would tell it to create pup_###.sfs by merging core_###.???, PuppyApps.???, AnotherAppSuite.???, etc.??? (by .??? mean I don't know what format you would use).
I'm guessing because sfs are only mounted rebuilding one would be a lot slower than opening one, but it could rebuild only if it detected a change in what was available (like make), and then maybe present the user with options. So first boot might be slow but after that it would be normal. Once booted you could have wizard for switching bits in and out.
Does that make sense?

David Bell; I think 5 unions is the max, the sfs files would best be made by job type.
Like: graphics design, audio-video, OpenOffice, developer, servers, & etc.
Each sfs file is ~ 50 to 100 MB, larger ones can easily be made from smaller ones.
A boot menu could be used for Puppy 2, in Puppy 1 you can cange them anytime.
Building one on the fly could probably be done from Puppy unleashed source files.
The remaster script on the menu makes an sfs file, but only from CD-DVD & full HD installs.
MU's correct, the cpu has to check multiple file sys. to access any file IN THE UNION.
GuestToo; My utility: xFileMount mounts sfs files with a click in ROX.
Perfect example of the copy up thing: Samba server has to copy smb.conf to /etc.
Puppy 2 unions extra sfs files at the bottom of the stack, so any changes must be copied up.
The sfs file's whole dir. tree except /usr would be copied to the save layer automatically.
A parent dir. for the tree is a good idea, or as you said, perhaps a tar file.
The menu addons could be in a tar file, but it seems that dirs. are easier.
The sfsManager would write the changes to the menus of JWM, IceWM, etc.
And it'd copy icons to the ROX desktop if a checkbox on it was set to do it.
This the working sfsManager I made with NathanF's help.

Thats the sort of thing I was talking about. Do you have to reboot after running? Actually configuring with something like that followed by reboot wouldn't really be inconvenient because you wouldn't do it very often.
Pity about the limit of five sfs, but again from my novice point of view I think it would be nice if applications were outside of pup_###.sfs - and put in a separate sfs, for arguments sake called apps.sfs.
While this would use up one of the five spots, if you had a tool like yours that let you mix match and merge other sfs's to create your own version of apps.sfs, then it wouldn't matter because you would only ever really need one sfs spot from a user POV. I think it would add a lot of flexibility, people making alternate versions could use it and individuals too.

David; The sfs files ARE the apps., Xwin is a Linux app. also & in the sfs file.
The sfsManager utility above is for Unioning sfs files, not building them.
For Puppy-2 the sfsManager would show only at bootup, as it can only union then.
Puppy-1 however can swap sfs files in & out at random anytime.
So the sfsManager would be on the Puppy-1 menu/desktop.
An advanced sfs file builder would be nice addon app. for both Puppies!

Yes I think I understand that now. Actually I was looking at Marks post above again and see now he was talking about something very similar to what I was trying to express. I guess when I say move the applications to a separate sfs I really mean just
productivity apps
like spreadsheets etc, whereas the core applications like X would stay in pup_###.sfs.
In addition to Marks system I am wishing for an easy way to contruct your own (productivity) application suite sfs that you could replace the standard one with. I did download unleashed a while back, I really need to have a look at that as I might be asking for stuff that's already possible, or not difficult with a few modifications. No time this weekend though.
Thanks DB

Yep, I was thinking about the advantages of this sfs file setup
for upgrading Puppy or syncing versions as MU pointed out.
A side benefit I hadn't really thought about when I formed the idea.
It's really the same setup the Linux distro. Morphix has,
except Morphix doesn't swap files after booting.
Morphix is Debian & uses cloop (Compressed LOOP ) files instead of Squash files.

Yes FWIW, totally agree - an Optical device is a questionable choice :
Longevity, reliability & ease of maintenance/scalability is foremost concerns to server DB use
The prime reason device hot-swapping and one of RAID mirroring solutions is employed for system critical usage

Gn2; It seems your answering the post line: LanPuppy HowTo.
Flash suggested a secure DB loaded from DVD.
But hey... what do you think of the Advanced Squash file idea?

The Loyola men's lacrosse team will face the U.S. national team in the exhibition Champion Challenge, a US Lacrosse event, on Sunday, Jan. 27 at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex in Lake Buena Vista, Fla.
The game will pit the defending NCAA and Federation of International Lacrosse champions in a game that will be broadcast on ESPNU and ESPN3.com. Further details about the event, including a game time, will be released at a later date.
"We are very excited about the opportunity to go down to Florida to play against the best of what the United States has to offer," Loyola ooach Charley Toomey said. "We will use this game as a steppingstone for some tough early season matchups."
Loyola won its first-ever NCAA Division I national championship in May, defeating Maryland, 9-3, in the title game in Foxborough, Mass. The U.S. national team claimed the most recent FIL World Championship in 2010 and will bring approximately 45 players to the Champion Challenge in January for evaluation prior to tryouts for the 2014 U.S. men's national team.
The Champion Challenge will also feature a game between the U.S. men's national team game and Notre Dame. The U.S. women's national team will face Northwestern, the defending NCAA champion, and Syracuse, the national runner-up, during the weekend.

A man and his dog found dead on a canal boat may have suffered carbon monoxide poisoning, firefighters have said.
Police and fire crews boarded the boat on the Oxford Canal at Tramway, Banbury, Oxfordshire, at 1.30pm on Thursday after they were alerted to the deaths by South Central Ambulance Service.
One fire engine from Banbury was sent and on arrival a crew boarded the boat wearing breathing apparatus and carrying gas monitoring equipment.
An Oxfordshire fire service spokesman said: "No toxic atmosphere was detected and the boat was declared safe to enable further investigations to be made by the police, but sadly both the man and his pet dog were pronounced dead at the scene."
Watch manager John Callaway said: "Although the cause of this tragic incident has yet to be determined and is an on-going investigation by the police, there are a number of appliances common to both boats and caravans, as well as houses, that have the ability to produce toxic fumes.
"It is our advice that all such equipment is professionally installed by a qualified technician and serviced regularly in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. We also recommend that both smoke and carbon monoxide alarms are fitted and tested weekly."

XAMPP (lampp) from mnt/home -- includes MySQL, PHP and Perl
Subject description: and, of course, Apache Web Server
As I've mentioned in other threads, I frequently test, explore and --of course-- use various Puppies and derivatives. All my Puppies are Frugal Installs, and to make my life simple the directories into which all are installed are on the same partition. Originally, that made it easy to access the same SFSes. But thanks to Playdaz discussion of "Program Folders" and DaveS's development of Opera_mnt_home and FoxyFun I discovered the utility of "installing" applications to my home partition, which each of my Puppies recognizes as /mnt/home. A Program Folder is simply a folder containing all the files the application requires to run. Since it resides outside the SaveFile, it takes up no "User Space." In order to enable easy access to the application, I employ the technique used by DaveS in Opera_mnt_home and FoxyFun to create a script file in /my-applications/bin, where I also place an appropriate icon, and then write a desktop file in usr/share/applications. The desktop file creates a menu entry, which when clicked executes the script file, and the script file starts the application.
Recently I became interested in developing a website. While researching that interest I ran across a link which discussed using XAMPP (formerly known as Lampp) to develop, configure and test websites from within your computer. Or, in other words, without the need to acquire a domain in Webspace or test your customizations and settings on a "live" website. I was referred to:
Per that site:
"Many people know from their own experience that it's not easy to install an Apache web server and it gets harder if you want to add MySQL, PHP and Perl.
XAMPP is an easy to install Apache distribution containing MySQL, PHP and Perl. XAMPP is really very easy to install and to use - just download, extract and start.
The distribution for Linux systems (tested for SuSE, RedHat, Mandrake and Debian) contains:
Apache, MySQL, PHP & PEAR, Perl, ProFTPD, phpMyAdmin, OpenSSL, GD, Freetype2, libjpeg, libpng, gdbm, zlib, expat, Sablotron, libxml, Ming, Webalizer, pdf class, ncurses, mod_perl, FreeTDS, gettext, mcrypt, mhash, eAccelerator, SQLite and IMAP C-Client."
It has now been tested in Puppy 4.31, dPup, sPup and the Lupus. Well, by tested I mean that when starting from console the application produced the following message:
Starting XAMPP 1.7.4...
LAMPP: Starting Apache...
LAMPP: Starting MySQL...
LAMPP started.
and I was able to access http://localhost via my webbrowser. I have not gotten beyond that. [Desiring to advise apachefriends to add Puppy to their "successful" distros, I looked into their forum and was distressed to find a significant number of unanswered requests for help. I seem to have gotten further than some running Ubuntus.
Warning: use at your own risk and pleasure. I can't help you and help from apachefriends appears iffy.
It is a large package -- 75 mgs compressed, 287 mgs decompressed. Its instructions were that it be decompressed to /opt. It would, therefore, be more convenient if it could be run from outside the SaveFile. After successfully testing it in Lupu from /opt, I figured out how to run it from /mnt/home. The test provided by the above link said to start Lampp from a console, and once it was running to open your favorite browser and type http://localhost into the address bar. Since I would be starting it via a script rather than a console command, any errors or failures would not be displayed, and I wouldn't know if there was a problem until I started the browser and typed in the address. Figuring that I'd always want to start my browser once Lampp was running, I simply included the command to do so --and open to localhost-- into the script.
There was one snag I had to overcome, but as that involves a technique which might be of general interest, I've discussed it elsewhere. If you're interested, see my post @
At any rate, I've provided two pets. lampp_mnt_home-.03 specifies that firefox be opened. lampp_mnt_home-.04 calls your default webbrowser. 03 was created in Lupu which doesn't have a default webbrowser as all its webbrowsers are called from Program Folders on /mnt/home. 04 was created in Puppy 4.31 which does have a default webbrowser.
If your Puppy has neither a default webbrowser nor firefox, after installing either pet, use your text editor to open the xampp script in /my-applications/bin and change third line to specify the webbrowser of your choice.
REMEMBER that for either of these pets to work you must first have downloaded and decompressed the XAMPP tar.gz from the apachefriends website into mnt/home, and made certain that the folder created is named (or renamed) lampp, (NO CAPS) and contains a script file also named lampp (NO CAPS).
Happy computing,
p.s. Just thought I'd mention that the following link (although it's oriented to the installing Wordpress on the Windows version) provides good information on installing applications in Lampp. Skip down to instruction 13. The Linux version starts MySQL automatically. The address it tells you to type is to go into your webbrowser.
uses default web-browser, requires lampp folder on mnt/home downloaded from apachefriends website
965 Time(s)
uses firefox, requires lampp folder on mnt/home downloaded from apachefriends website
874 Time(s)

can you post clearer instructions please. (lucid 5.2
4 weeks, day after day trying to install the 4 lamp packages to Puppy Lucid 5.28. And still no joy.
Following your instructions, I download the tar to /home/mnt.
type tar -xzwf xampp-linux-1.8.0.tar.gz
around 50 lines or more of positive unpacking, then:
gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file
tar: unexpected EOF in archive
tar: unexpected EOF in archives
Error is not recoverable: exiting now
After 160 frustrated hours, I am almost done with Linux!
I follow the instructions at Apachefriends, also using the run installer, and again, failures ( although different!)

Sorry it wasnt working fine at all.. I simply saw icons added to the menu screen and satisfied with progress I went to bed.
Now I am testing and well you guessed it.
So before installing cacti, I thought I would study up a bit on starting Xampp.
and it says:
oh and by the way, contrary to instructions http://www.apachefriends.org/en/faq-xampp-linux.html#start
the only way I can see to start the packages is /opt/lampp/xampp start NOT lampp start (which does not exist)
XAMPP: Starting Apache...fail.
httpd: Syntax error on line 31 of /opt/lampp/etc/httpd.conf: Server Root must be a valid directory
XAMPP: Starting MySQL....ok
XAMPP: Starting ProFTPD...fail
Contents of "/opt/lampp/var/proftpd/start,err":
puppypc proftp[31756]: Fatal: <Directory>: relative path not allowed in non-<Anonymous> sections on line 29 of '/opt/lampp/etc/proftpd.conf'
any thoughts?

Hold on...
First, be sure of downloaded the Linux package. Then, how is your puppy installion?
It sounds like your /home/ is in a partition that may be full or may not be in a Linux filesystem, which is really important for MySQL to -even- start running.
Note aside, installing lampp is not hard (just unpack) and it should not be, so if it is, maybe the problem is not on it.
tar -zxf something
to decompress and check (report us) the size of the file you got packed, the unpacked size and if possible the md5sums.

No it just simply wont unpack anymore beyond that same point.
Yesterday after your advice, it silently unpacked all the way.
Oddly, you mentioned mysql, well that was the only 1 of the 3 packages that said it was ok and running.
The SSD is probably in a mess from failed installs..
I managed to install ntop and then dude under wine environment.. It may be safer and quicker for me to re-install lupu 5.28 and start at the begining, with what appears to be the most troubling.
If I take it back to a fresh install.. what dependencies are needed to unpack.
My guess Gcc and others?

Here's the skinny on your skin and chemicals. Skin keeps the bad stuff out—things like dirt, radiation, and microorganisms. It also keeps the body's moisture in. It receives sensory stimuli from the environment. It regulates body temperature and plays a role in blood pressure. It generates new skin cells and discards dead ones to make […]

Essential Oils vs. Fragrance Oils
Posted on July 27, 2015 by ColoradoCreme in Education
The main difference between essential oils and fragrance oils is that one is natural and the other is synthetic. Essential Oils Therapeutic grade essential oils are made from the different parts of the plant. They may come from the blossom, stem, fruit, leaf, bark, well… you get the idea.

Colorado Crème provides instant softness to my skin without a slimy or greasy feeling. My sensitive nose appreciates a scent that is fragrant, yet not overpowering.

I just tried a sample of your Colorado Creme Greenhouse scent and I just wanted to say that I just used it and I love the way it smells! I've got a lot of trouble with my hands cracking from the dryness in the winter, and I look forward to using it in the coming weeks.

I have found Colorado Crème to be a very unique product. Unlike most other lotions, it seems to melt right into my skin. It absorbs right away and doesn't leave a greasy feeling. It instantly refreshes that dry, tight feeling and restores suppleness to my skin.

I love this lotion! My hands have been so dry and cracked this year. I've tried coconut oil, and so many lotions, nothing worked--until now. I've only been using it about 2 weeks and cannot believe the difference! I also love that it does not make your hands feel greasy. Thank you.

I bought a bottle of the Pink Grapefruit body mousse a few days ago and LOVE it. My hands have always cracked and bled in our dry Colorado climate and I don't usually like using lotion because of how oily my hands always feel afterwards - your product feels soft, non-oily, and smells amazing! I'll be a continuing customer.

I love this lotion. I have so many lotions that I never use because they leave me feeling greasy, but not this one. It absorbs so well into my skin. I'm currently even using it as tattoo after-care and it moisturizes fantastically!

I was given a jar of Colorado Creme for my birthday in November and absolutely loved it! I kept mine in the refrigerator and it felt so good after a nice hot shower. I tried the orange cream. Next I want to try the peppermint.

I will tell you this—I have spent at least $300.00, maybe more, on products to heal the eczema both my kids have had on and off since birth. My daughter, who is 3, had it until about a year ago, And now my son, who is 1.5, has it so bad that nothing would relieve it.
My husband and I went on spring break this last week to Colorado Springs, and I went into this cute little shop to buy some vintage-like clothing and saw this Creme being sold in there. I had to try something. Between the dry air there and the swimming pool and bathing, he was suffering. The very first time we put it on him, his skin the next morning was smoothing out and the red was diminishing. The second application that morning, it started to smooth his texture, and now after 8 applications, his skin is as smooth as when he was born. This product is worth the money!!! Worth the second look, people! I am even going to discuss with my pediatrician that he recommend it to clients he usually tells to use Aquaphore to calm down eczema. This product will be used by my whole family without fail. Thank you, sweet lady, for such a wonderful product!!!
