The four artists in the exhibit "Intertwined Expressions" are linked by their devotion to abstraction. Similarities in how they use coiling lines and densely layered colors make for a cohesive show at the Howard County Arts Council.
These linkages are most clearly seen in the works by Peter Gordon and Allison Long-Hardy. For both artists, circular and oval shapes help anchor compositions that otherwise feature enough floating forms to verge on being formless.
Gordon intensively uses pencil and crayon to almost completely cover the paper surface in such works as "Early Morning, Autumn." Although the numerous small circles drawn on that surface do not comprise any sort of rigorous patterning, the simple act of repeating them provides a measure of structure to a composition that's a tangle of curving and straight lines.
"Early Morning, Autumn" and Gordon's other six drawings in the show all reference that season through their titles and also through a range of subdued colors. Even the prevailing shades of black are toned down in such a way that these abstract drawings emotionally evoke a quiet day in late autumn.
In her colored pencil-enhanced print "Rise," Long-Hardy deploys tightly packed ovals that bear at least some resemblance to what Gordon is doing. Although her composition is darker and denser than Gordon's approach, they have in common a quasi-organic quality. The assorted hues of green, black and deep purple in "Rise," for instance, might prompt you to think about either a forest floor, a pond or perhaps where they meet. Another one of her seven prints, "Decay," also resembles an overgrown marsh.
Greg Minah does not directly suggest images of nature in his seven acrylic paintings, but he does seem to be contemplating how natural matter is held together. There are assertively colorful zones in his paintings, but they're irregularly shaped and seemingly arranged haphazardly; however, these distinct forms typically emit webs of delicate lines that skip across the canvas and more or less link up with other forms.
Minah's best painting in the show, "certain truths," has a measure of organizational structure in the arrangement of the colored zones and surrounding weblike lines, but this structure is so loosely defined that there's also a floating quality.
If these three artists all have amorphous tendencies, the fourth artist, Allyson Block, is more solidly oriented. Indeed, this sculptor constructs wall-hanging pieces from wood, plastic, yarn and other materials.
A typical Block sculpture relies upon several vertically or diagonally oriented wood slats affixed to the wall at eye level. Pull up close and you'll see how that wood has been painted, covered with multi-colored yarn, and sometimes even with buttons. Several sculptures also make use of coiling plastic tubes, which ensure that the sculptures won't become too rigorously angular. It's telling that her seven exhibited sculptures are all from a series titled "Balance," because she does achieve a balancing act between straight and curving lines.
And it's also telling that each of these four artists has seven works in the exhibit. They're individually given an equal amount of wall space to collectively make an abstract case.
If the artists in Gallery I are drawing upon stylistic influences from late-20th-century American abstract art, the three artists exhibiting in an exhibit in Gallery II, "Transformations of Ink and Brush," draw upon Asian art traditions to make decidedly contemporary work.
Most of Freda Lee-McCann's mixed media works on paper cover that surface with collaged pages from the telephone book. You can read actual names and numbers in that tiny print, but the black type on white paper mainly is used as a sympathetic support for ink drawings alluding to traditional Chinese landscapes.
In-soon Shin's work includes the three hanging panels comprising "Elusive Universe," in which she applies ink to Korean mulberry paper. The pale gray splashes and white lines are closer to abstraction than to calligraphy, and there are also black and white orbs that have planetary associations.
For actual ink on rice paper calligraphy, Kit-Keung Kan has four hanging scrolls in "Eternal Love." The artist also tweaks tradition, though, in "Ancient Airs on Rocks," in which there are calligraphic ink markings on 10 small rice paper-wrapped rocks resting on the gallery floor.
"Intertwined Expressions" and "Transformations of Ink and Brush" run through Feb. 24 at the Howard County Arts Council, at 8510 High Ridge Road in Ellicott City. There is a reception Friday, Jan. 27, 6- 8 p.m. Call 410-313-2787 or go to http://www.hocoarts.org.

But now at 10 a.m. on a Tuesday, you might be Facebooking your old college roommate. And at 10 p.m., you could be in a bathrobe and clay mask conducting serious business (while catching up on reality TV). Thanks to portable technology and a shifting work-life landscape, duty and play have become strange bedfellows -- and not only because you occasionally fall asleep next to your laptop.
The boundaries separating work from leisure have all but dissolved. In fact, the only way to really define what you're doing is not by where you are, but by where your attention is. You might be at dinner or even on a beach somewhere, but if you're responding to an e-mail from your boss, are you really there?
Actually, we're all living in a permanent state of Elsewhere, says sociologist Dalton Conley, author of "Elsewhere, U.S.A.," published last year. Conley, who coined the term "weisure" to describe this hybrid of work and leisure, says that since we're physically able to work around the clock now, we often feel we're in the right place only when we're in two places at once.
"Distinctions like home-office, public-private, and self-other no longer hold fast," he says.
None of this means we're doomed to 24/7 enslavement, however; we just have to figure out a new way to work. In the '80s, we worried about managing our time. Now we need to manage our energy.
Welcome to Elsewhere
We can't blame the current chaos on our cell phones. The shift to working around the clock began long before that, when more of us went from making things in factories to working in knowledge-based jobs (think scientists, engineers, graphic designers, city planners).
Today, about half of us make our living from our brains rather than our brawn. Since 1980, says Richard Florida, author of "The Rise of the Creative Class," 20 million knowledge-based jobs have been created.
The upshot of using your mind as a means of production, rather than a machine, is clear: engaging work that's far more satisfying than an assembly line. But because we tend to identify with this kind of work (and maybe even enjoy it), we also tend to overdo it.
"The injuries of the old factory economy were bad backs, falling off ladders," Florida says. "The injuries of our time are stress-induced disease, anxiety disorders, substance abuse -- all of which are a consequence of the creative age."
And the more stressed we are, adds Conley -- by the pressures of the two-career household, by economic uncertainty -- the more likely we are to scramble to keep working, just to hold our lives together.
Your Brain on Buzz
As complex as the brain is, it cannot (despite your best efforts) make brilliant decisions consistently from morning till night. That's because the heavy lifting is being done by your prefrontal cortex, the part of the brain located directly behind your forehead, which handles planning, decision-making, and problem-solving. This is a lot of responsibility for one little bit of machinery.
Consider this example: If the prefrontal cortex represented the amount of change in your pocket right now, then the processing power of the rest of your brain would be roughly equal to the entire U.S. economy, says executive coach David Rock, author of "Your Brain at Work."
To extend the money metaphor, Rock adds, think of your brain power in terms of a limited allowance per diem. You wouldn't want to spend all your cash reserves up front, but that, he says, is exactly what we tend to do. Rather than use our morning energy to prioritize projects and take advantage of fresh, focused thinking, we open our e-mail and start out in reaction mode. Before you know it, it's lunchtime, and our energy cash flows are drying up -- yet we keep pecking away.
And while the chronic stresses of our lives can take their toll, it's actually a lack of strategic recovery (i.e., adequate rest and nutritional fuel) that's at the heart of our personal energy crisis, says Jim Loehr, Ed.D., author of "The Power of Full Engagement."
"If all you do is expend energy with no opportunity for recovery," he says, "the whole system begins to degrade." Consider how you build a muscle: You increase demand on it during a weight-lifting session, followed by rest, when the body accommodates the new challenge and heals itself. You wouldn't dream of lifting weights all day, and yet that's the physical equivalent of what we're doing when we try to work around the clock.
Loehr, who's devoted 30 years to helping professional athletes manage their energy, points out that while 90 percent of an athlete's time is spent preparing and 10 percent performing, your average worker is expected to give peak performance 100 percent of the time.
Make Waves
The good news is that our bodies and minds are resilient, renewable systems. However, we're essentially cyclical beings living in a linear world. The idea that we can or should work for hours at a time goes against our biological wiring. "Everything in nature is oscillatory," Loehr says -- sunlight, seasons, even our sleep patterns move through cycles. "If you spend too much time in the hot zone, you're in trouble."
To honor these natural cycles of energy, it's far better to sprint and then break, rather than push or coast all day. "Our system works best when it's fully on and fully off," Loehr says. Working in 90-minute to two-hour stretches separated by 15-minute breaks will yield your best results. To get the most out of those sprints, minimize distractions by logging out of e-mail or silencing your phone.
Rock is another proponent of the interval technique -- "If you learn to understand your brain, there can be great advantages to living this way," he says -- especially when you're able to add in some play. Rock claims he can work right through a 12-hour flight if he stops every hour to watch something funny, like a few minutes of stand-up comedy. This is not only a mood-booster, he says, but it encourages new connections in the brain, helping you process information more easily.
So now that we're already working from our living rooms, we can make a case for goofing around in the office -- in contained bouts. New research bears this out: A recent study at the University of Melbourne found that workers who surfed the Web for fun (less than 20 percent of their total work time) were slightly more productive than those who didn't.
No one is trying to say we should save our brainpower by chucking our smart phones. Even Conley, whose own family struggles with screen time at the dinner table, says there's no golden rule about how to make technology work for us. "There are probably a lot of silver rules," he says -- for instance, put down the BlackBerry while someone's trying to talk to you.
Don Tapscott, author of the book "Grown Up Digital," in which he looks at the impact of the digital age on the next generation, believes that to make this all work, we need to apply design principles to our lives instead. Like an innovative piece of technology, our lives can and should be engineered to support our needs.
"Consider your objectives first, then decide which principles you want to operate by," Tapscott says. That means not just asking what we want our lives to look and feel like, but also what purpose we want them to serve. Do you want your home to be a haven from work, or a place from which you can comfortably, flexibly manage your career? Do you see yourself as seamlessly connected, or on and off the grid at regular intervals?
In the end, we're better off thinking less about rules, and more in terms of establishing the rhythms that allow us to maximize our attention, restore our minds and bodies, and bring to every activity, be it business or pleasure, the kind of energy that best represents who we are to the world.
+ Think sprint, not marathon. Rather than seeing your day as two chunks (before lunch and after, or more likely, at the office and at home), start to plan your work in one-and-a-half- to two-hour blocks. A 15-minute pause every few hours is critical. Without it, you erode your ability to catch errors and snuff out that creative spark that invites insights.
+ Step away from the laptop. You'll get your biggest bang out of a rest period if you're active. Moving forces you to use your motor cortex, giving your prefrontal cortex time to recover -- which is why if you're still for too long, you'll make poor decisions and even feel emotionally flat.
+ Change the channel. Your brain craves novelty, so switch to different tasks as your energy levels ebb and flow. "I call it one-, two-, and three-level thinking," says Rock. "Level one is the surface stuff (deleting e-mails, for instance). Level two requires a little more focus. But level three, the deeper thinking, is what we need more of. It involves writing, creating, planning, and strategizing." You can do your best level-three thinking first thing in the morning or when you're fresh from a break. Bar distractions as much as possible. Even just 30 interruption-free minutes, Rock says, can make you much more productive.
+ Have a YouTube moment. When your energy's waning, a shot of something funny or novel can raise your levels of dopamine, which you need for clear thinking.
+ Forget goals (temporarily, at least). Psychiatrist Daniel Siegel, M.D., author of the new book "Mindsight: The New Science of Personal Transformation," says that to experience true leisure, we can't just zone out in front of the TV. "Leisure sets the stage for creativity and novelty, which research suggests can keep the brain young," he says. Immerse yourself a few times a week in non-goal-related activities, such as visiting a museum, going to a park, or even just wandering a bookstore with no agenda except to open you up to new insights and connections.
+ No heavy lifting at night. If there's one natural boundary worth shoring up, it's between waking and sleeping. Choose a cutoff time for checking e-mail. Then stick to it.
+ Don't conserve energy by cutting back on your relationships. "A CEO shared with me recently that his five-year-old son said of him, 'I don't think my daddy likes me very much,'" Loehr says. "'He's always tired when I'm around.'" That man learned quickly that if you don't invest in your relationships, Loehr adds, you'll get no return. And in the end, the people we love deserve the greatest gift we can give them: the unfettered power of our attention.

McConnell, Grimes tee off in Kentucky Senate race
FANCY FARM, KY.-- Pork is on the menu here, but the appetite is for politics.
At one of state's most enduring political traditions, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., shared the stage Saturday with the two candidates vying hardest to defeat him in a campaign that is expected to be a marquee race in the 2014 battle for Senate control.
Fancy Farm can be a tough format for the timid or uninitiated. Candidates are kept to tight six-minute speaking schedules where they are expected to be clever and deliver quick-witted one-liners mixed in with the right amount of partisan red meat that enlivens, but does not offend. This is a church-going crowd, after all, and the 133rd annual picnic serves as a fund-raiser for the local Catholic parish.
While many of the estimated 7,000-8,000 attendees came for the 8500 lbs. of pork and mutton barbecue, much of the crowd was planted by competing campaigns to make sure their candidate didn't get out-jeered or cheered.
As one Kentuckian explained: Fancy Farm is like professional wrestling, you know it's just a show, but that doesn't make it any less entertaining.
The candidates, for the most part, delivered.
McConnell opened with a shot at Kentucky Democratic operative Jerry Lundergan, the father of his likely Democratic opponent, Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes, noting that while Democrats are targeting women voters to oppose McConnell, his opponent's father "sent a check to Anthony Weiner."
McConnell also bragged that he is President Obama's biggest road block in Washington and touted his opposition to the Affordable Care Act. "I fought them every step of the way," he said.
The Kentucky Republican also took welcomed shots at liberal locales. "As long as I'm in the Senate, Kentucky will have a voice instead of San Francisco and Martha's Vineyard." House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., represents San Francisco, while Obama head's to Martha's Vineyard, Mass., later this month for vacation.
He also touted his tenure in Washington and hit on his opponent's relative inexperience and suggested she'd serve the state "from the back bench."
Grimes followed McConnell with some self-deprecation, in which she made fun of her long name—"Come 2015, you can call me 'senator'"—and her short political resume—"Do I really need to apologize for having more government experience than Rand Paul?" Paul was elected in 2010, but had never held political office before. She also invoked gender, noting that McConnell opposed the recent reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act accusing the leader of "failing to stand up for the women of Kentucky."
McConnell's GOP primary opponent, businessman Matt Bevin, took a more earnest approach, surrounding himself with his nine children and said he would save the jabs for the 2014 picnic—after he defeats McConnell in the May primary. "It's easy to get up here and take cracks at Alison Lundergan Grimes, but I'm not going to do that. She and I will have ample opportunity next year on this stage."
The toughest slot was reserved for Ed Marksberry, a Democrat challenging Grimes in the primary, who has not received any support from the national Democratic Party. Marksberry is organizing decisively behind Grimes and spoke last. By the time he took to the mic, the crowd had thinned and he joked that the picnic's brisk format is not his best. "I can't even say hello in five minutes," he said.
McConnell is currently favored to win the GOP primary against Bevin, but two recent polls show a tight race against Grimes next year. The non-partisan Cook Political Report recently upgraded the race to a "toss up" meaning either party has a shot at Kentucky in 2014.

Do animals have a common origin?
Purple-striped jellyfish (Chrysaora Colorata) at Montery Bay Aquarium, California. All animals can be traced to a common ancestor. Photo: Sanjay Acharya
King: Yes. All animals, from sponges to jellyfish to vertebrates [animals with a backbone], can be traced to a common ancestor. So far, molecular and fossil evidence indicate that animals evolved at least 600 million years ago. The fossil record does not reveal what the first animals looked like or how they lived. Therefore, my lab and other research groups around the world are investigating the nature of the first animals by studying diverse living organisms.
You study multicellularity. Is there a connection to animal origins?
King: Eukaryotes [organisms with membrane-bound nuclei] range from those with a single cell, such as the amoeba, to complex multicellular animals, including humans. The vast majority of life on Earth has been dominated by unicellular life. At some point in the lineage leading to animals, multicellularity evolved. Multicellular organisms are those that have many cells. Their cells depend on each other, functioning in concert to sustain the life of the organism. So, the common ancestor of animals was a single cell.
It was that event—the origin of multicellularity— that was seminal to the evolutionary history of animals. We have yet to discover what this unicellular ancestor of multicellular animals was, but we have gathered clues about its genetic complexity. We don't have a fossil record regarding the rise of multicellularity, but we can deduce the shared characteristics, using molecular and other data, among animals that are extinct and their living relatives.
How does a phylogenetic tree allow you to make these connections?
King: A phylogenetic tree, or tree of life, is a diagram of the relationships among organisms. It is a hypothesis, always evolving as more data is added to it. Phylogeneticists take sequences of genes or other regions of genomes from diverse organisms and align them with each other to identify positions in the sequences that suggest shared ancestry. Those that have changed in concert with each other may suggest a common ancestor within that group to the exclusion of other groups.
This process used to be done by hand, but now computers have vastly accelerated the process. We now have publicly accessible databases of phylogenetic information that allow us to view and analyze gene sequences of diverse organisms.
Why have you chosen to work with choanoflagellates?
King: Choanoflagellates are a window on early animal evolution. Both cell biological and molecular evidence indicate that choanoflagellates are the closest living relatives of multicellular animals.
Figure 1.
A choanoflagellate typically has a collar of tentacles and a single flagellum.
Image courtesy of the King Lab, University of California-Berkeley.
Choanoflagellates are a unique group of single-celled and colony-forming eukaryotes. There are at least 150 species of choanoflagellates, living in almost all aquatic habitats. Choanoflagellates use flagella to swim and trap food, mostly bacteria, in the walls of their collar (see image).
The relationship of choanoflagellates to animals and the fact that they are unicellular suggest that they might help us understand the prehistory of multicellular animals. Their biology is similar to the hypothesized state of the unicellular ancestor of animals, so we think they have preserved this ancestral data better than other organisms. Genes shared by choanoflagellates and animals were likely present in their common ancestor and may shed light on the transition to multicellularity. Our lab has already provided evidence for the expression in choanoflagellates of protein families required for animal cell signaling [how cells communicate] and adhesion [how cells stick].
Did multicellularity evolve once or many times?
King: Scientists have observed that the cell biology of multicellularity is radically different in different groups of organisms. So it suggests that different multicellular organisms arose from unicellular organisms numerous times. Animals, fungi, plants, and other multicellular lineages evolved multicellularity separately, and each lineage has a different common ancestor. This means that the mechanism by which multicellularity developed in each lineage is evolutionarily different and unique. When we focus on animals, however, we see that multicellularity evolved in this lineage only once.
Will you attempt to reconstruct the genome of the ancestor of choanoflagellates?
King: I don't know if it will be technically feasible to do so entirely, but it's something I like to think about. It's a wonderful challenge for a scientist. Reconstructing the genome of the ancestor of animals and choanoflagellates would allow us to test whether we understand important components of the process by which animals evolved. One major challenge right now is to assemble choanoflagellate genomes. It is very interesting to work with an organism that is so distant from other organisms whose genomes have already been sequenced. There are no markers about where to go and how to proceed.
Our research into genome comparisons promises new insights into the last common ancestor of choanoflagellates and metazoans as well as the early evolutionary history of animals. Our research is in fact a study in macroevolution—trying to understand how major changes happened over large spans of time.
Beyond that, there may be some direct benefit to humankind. There is some interest in our work by people involved in cancer research. Many of the proteins that we are finding in choanoflagellates are ones that contribute to cancer development in humans. Our work may shed light on the cellular functions of some of these proteins.

Industries Environmental Documents
Final Environmental Impact Statement on the Phoenix Expansion Project (Docket No. CP06-459-000)
Issued: September 21, 2007
The staffs of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission or FERC); the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM); the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service (FS); the U.S. Department of Transportation, Office of Pipeline Safety; the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Indian Affairs; and the Navajo Nation, collectively referred to as the Agency Staffs, have prepared a final environmental impact statement (EIS) on the natural gas pipeline facilities proposed by Transwestern Pipeline Company, LLC (Transwestern) in the above-referenced docket.
Transwestern proposes to construct 24.6 miles of new 36-inch-diameter pipeline loop along the existing San Juan Lateral (Loops A and B) in San Juan and McKinley Counties, New Mexico; 259.3 miles of new 42- and 36-inch-diameter lateral pipeline (the Phoenix Lateral) in Coconino, Yavapai, Maricopa, and Pinal Counties, Arizona; 1.4 miles of new 24-, 20-, 16-, and 6-inch-diameter lateral pipeline connecting the Phoenix Lateral to meter stations; and other associated facilities. Transwestern would also perform minor piping modifications at two existing compressor stations in San Juan County, New Mexico and Mohave County, Arizona, and would acquire an undivided interest in the existing 36.7-mile-long, 24-inch-diameter East Valley Lateral, which extends between Pinal and Maricopa Counties, Arizona.
The EIS was prepared to satisfy the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act.
The Agency Staffs conclude that the proposed project, with the appropriate mitigation measures as recommended by the FERC staff, would be an environmentally acceptable action. The principal reasons are:
- 86 percent of the proposed pipelines would be within or adjacent to existing rights-of-way;
- The project would be consistent with or in conformance with all identified comprehensive plans;
- Transwestern would implement its Upland Erosion Control, Revegetation, and Maintenance Plan; Wetland and Waterbody Construction and Mitigation Procedures; Restoration Plan; Spill Prevention and Response Procedures; Blasting Procedure; Trenching and Wildlife Guidelines; Migratory Bird Plan; Dust Control Plan; Fire Prevention and Suppression Plan; Forest Service Access Management Plan; Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) Plan; Unanticipated Discovery Plans; and Site-specific Residential and Structural Implementation Plans to protect natural and cultural resources and residential areas during construction and operation of the project;
- Transwestern would implement all site-specific stipulations in the Plan of Development that would be developed by the BLM, the FS, and the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation;
- Use of the HDD method would avoid disturbance to the bed and banks of the San Juan River and associated riparian areas. If the HDD fails and the alternative wet open-cut method were used, the short-term impact of a wet open-cut crossing would be environmentally acceptable and the terms and conditions that are expected to be included in the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's (FWS) Biological Opinion would ensure that the project would not jeopardize the continued existence of the Colorado pikeminnow and the razorback sucker;
- The appropriate consultations with the FWS, the State Historic Preservation Offices, and Native American tribes would be completed before Transwestern would be allowed to begin construction in any given area; and
- An environmental inspection and mitigation monitoring program would ensure compliance with all mitigation measures that become conditions of the FERC Certificate and other approvals.

Dear Deckadance owners & others.
Click here for Deckadance support
We would like to let you know that Gibson has acquired rights to our Deckadance DJ music application to be hosted under the Stanton brand. Gibson Brands [ Gibson, Stanton, Onkyo, KRK, Cerwin-Vega ].
From our side, taking Deckadance further required expanding into hardware, which would have diverted attention from our core business developing FL Studio. With Gibson Brands building new products around Deckadance, not only will existing Deckadance customers receive ongoing support, but with Gibson's proven hardware expertise Deckadance enthusiasts can look forward to a bright future. The core of Deckadance's software team will remain intact to ensure consistency in future development, as well as make sure that future innovations are consistent with the current direction.
Because the sale was a friendly and strategic move for both companies, Image-Line and Gibson will collaborate closely to create the smoothest transition possible. You should receive instructions from us in the near future on how to migrate your Deckadance license and account to the Stanton side of the Gibson equation.
We will continue to host Deckadance 2.43 (and activation keys) on our servers for the foreseeable future, but do encourage you to download and save a copy for your use until Stanton comes on stream.

Why not use Puppy for compiling apps for Puppy?
Hi. I thought, why is another distro needed..?
To compile the kernel only a couple of tar.gz packages are needed:
kernel sources
I used to do that for some older distro the same way (muLinux).
(I took all the required tar.gz from slakware
Then one would need the additional stuff for X apps.
X11 libs
gtk libs
Now, that we have a full blown hard disk install...
Why not collecting all required packages for Puppy to do the job,
instead of taking another distro...?
Even if the total size of needed packages is bigger than Puppy itself -
so what..
Have fun

One problem is that some people are anti Puppy to Puppy reproduction. They think Puppies should come from full grown distros instead of young Pups. Their excuse is that Puppy needs to stay lean, but to have Puppies, it needs to get chubby. Don't they know it's what's on the inside that counts? And a chubby Puppy has a lot more on the inside. I say let Puppy have the option. Would you like it if someone told you that you can't reproduce? That someone else would have to have your children? Besides, not all Puppies would need to, and the ones that do wouldn't need to put on the pounds until ready. Then they can pupget all the weight they need. Once the new Puppy is done, the weight could be uninstalled through rigourous pupget exercises.
So, let your Puppy have fun. Let him make his own mistakes. He'll learn from them. Allow him to populate the world with unique Puppies if he so chooses.
*bursts into song*
It's my Puppy and he'll have Pups if he wants to
have Pups if he wants to
have Pups if he wants to
You'd have Pups too if a Puppy were you....

yes, many of us have considered doing something like that.
An Option 2 hard drive installation would be the best contender.
Actually, I was thinking of doing the opposite...
As Vector Linux 5.0STD is looking very promising as the next compile environment for Puppy -- but can't commit yet, as still researching -- it would be feasible to "Puppify" Vector -- just overwrite vector with Puppy files.
Now, I don't know if it would work if you did a hard drive install from Puppy onto an existing vector installation .... no, it would probably have many "issues".
Hmmm, this is just off the top of my head, but I don't see why PupGet can't be installed in Vector, then we just download and install all the Pup applications.
...hmm, there's a fun project for someone

Pizzasgood - I needed that post this morning... Two hours, forty minutes to work this morning. Why? Well, it rained and everyone forgot how to drive in it...
Fat puppies can grow up to be skinny, and skinny puppies can grow up to be fat. It all depends on what they are fed. With a hard drive install, I think it would be great to be able to develop within Puppy. This would ensure kernel karma and would allow for rapid testing. I haven't tried Vector, but I'm liking what Berry has been saying. I may have to look into it.

Puppy Linux is about two years old, right? Isn't that old enough for breeding? So, it's time for a development-environment DotPup. And, why the need for HD install? Why not just a swap partition (or swap file) and a 1GB PUP001? Would it be possible to have a DEV001 (similar to PUP001 and in addition to PUP001) to be the dog-house for the development-environment?

my VL is starting to look an awful lot like Puppy
a lot of my Puppy roxapps will work in VL too
if i added a /root/my-applications/bin dir and a /root/my-documents dir, a lot more would probably work
and dotpups should work in VL too ... just setup a rox file association for dotpup files
actually, scripts that reference /root should probably be using $HOME for future compatibility ... i've got X to run quite nicely as user spot ... i haven't got rxvt to work yet
if i got rxvt to work, the main problems with running Puppy as spot would be permissions ... for example, /root/my-documents, /root/my-applications, and /etc would not be writeable by spot
here's an old pic of X running as user spot ... notice the processes in kp that are owned by spot:

Remember this:
Mission Statement
1 * Puppy will easily install to USB, Zip or hard drive media.
2 * Booting from CD, Puppy will load totally into RAM so that the CD drive is then free for other purposes.
3 * Booting from CD, Puppy can save everything back to the CD, no need for a hard drive.
4 * Booting from USB, Puppy will greatly minimise writes, to extend the life of Flash devices indefinitely.
5 * Puppy will be extremely friendly for Linux newbies.
6 * Puppy will boot up and run extraordinarily fast.
7 * Puppy will have all the applications needed for daily use.
8 * Puppy will just work, no hassles.
9 * Puppy will breath new life into old PCs
Will this still be possible with a VecPup.
These goals are the reason I as a user keep hanging around and posting stupid messages. Each one of these goals is important to someone. My best ones are numbers 8, 7, 6, 5, 9, 1.
If you are going to abandon these goals, tell me now. I'll go look somewhere else. At the moment number 8 and 5 need a little work and you guys will have a very, very good replacement for anything BG is selling.
Sorry, I probably should have posted this in the rant and rave department.
But You guys are so close...Please finish the job!!!!!

As you've been on the forum for a few weeks, you'll no doubt have noticed that things are progressing at an amazing rate. Don't abandon Puppy because it's not achieved all it set out to yet. Every update is to improve/debug/advance towards the initial goals. It's only through using it that bugs are spotted and fixed - so users and user feedback is important for the system to evolve.
I think Barry has done - and continues to do an amazing job with all his efforts. I only wish I knew half as much as he does !

Rich, everything you say is right. I have been with Pup since sometime in the middle of last year. I have seen astounding work on the part of all the people on this forum. Barry is at the head of the pack. I just want to give a gentle reminder that they are so close to attaining all their goals.
I stopped buying Windows at 98se because it fullfilled all my needs at that time. I want Puppy to be the one that totally replaces the operating systems on my 8 computers. Some are new, some are old and each one fullfills a need in either my home, business or traveling. When Puppy meets these goals, I will replace Win98 on all of them. I do a lot of work on the Internet and write a lot of reports. Overall, very simple needs. For these needs, older, slower, cheaper machines with Puppy will do the job very well. I don't know exactly when Barry posted those goals on the web site, but when I saw them I knew I would wait until he meet them. He is just so close!!

I suppose that it's quite easy to get a bit sidetracked now and then in development, and disappear on a tangent for a while. Happens to me all the time

The goals are not forgotten.
There is a big distinction here -- we are discussing a development environment, and whether we have a VecPup or a FatPup for our compiling, won't detract from the "normal" Puppy.
In fact, it will enhance development as we will be compiling in exactly the target environment. That is, we can compile something and know it is going to work in the "normal" Puppy.
For myself, I can compile and do stuff in a distro like Vector, but I miss all my Puppy facilities, so having a VecPup (for example) will be so nice.

I can see what you are saying; however, much of the discussion on the topics of fat puppy and dotpups is in the development arena. Each of these discussions leads to the next .iso release of puppy. Faster, stronger and most importantly, closer to meeting each of the goals we all hold dear. For those of us a little more versed in the larger linux distros, we like the ability to expand when we see needs or to meet desires. With puppy-unleashed the ability easily expand puppy to meet individual requirements was greatly expanded. With dotpups, that capability was greatly enhanced.
Like you, I left Windows last year. In the process of doing that, I tried Knoppix, Puppy and Fedora. Knoppix helped me to get the process started. I loved Puppy, even back then, but it lacked some of what I was looking for in an OS. I ended up going with Fedora, first Core 2 and then Core 3, because of its robustness as a complete OS. With the latest advances of Puppy, I am seeing myself working towards making it my sole OS at home. Granted I'd probably lean towards the fat puppy version, but being able to provide my friends a copy of my OS on a single disk that is 8mm is a beautiful. My friends and those like them who have no idea or desire to learn what's under the hood of the OS will never need a fat puppy like me.
Like you, I love puppy. A friend of a friend of mine is my friend too.

Well, I think there is one goal left off that list, to keep puppy as a small distro.
As far as the current generally accepted programming environment goes (on any Linux platform) there is the requirement of many megabytes of files for the standard, i.e. gcc, so I dont see gcc ever being part of puppy standard iso.
I read a comment just the other day and I thought "How true" and that comment went along the lines of "trying to control a group of programmers is like trying to herd a group of cats". And I've been one of those cats for a long time now too, and I see the painful irony, programmers like doing it their way.
I don't think any programmer who has been programming for a while would want to give up on those overly bloated "standard development" tools.
If a cat is going to change its mind, it has to come to that conclusion by itself.
If there is going to ever be a standard puppy development environment, that ships as part of the puppy iso, it is going to be a small one.
I would like to propose that the bare minimum would be a compiler and a way of invoking the compiler to build a project. The two tools I think that meet this minimum are "make" and "tcc".
The binary file of make seems to be about 134kb and tcc is about 116Kb.
However the "/usr/local/include" .h files are quite sizable, plus there are many man pages.
If we can get some of the existing files reduced in size perhaps we could squeeze these files onto the iso as well?
Perhaps a good motovation for getting development tools into the puppy iso would be to say, if use of that tool can reduce the size of application(s) compiled using it, across the standard puppy application suite, by significantly more than the size of the dev tool itself, then it will be included.
The problem I had with TCC was getting enough time to get around to really giving it a go.
One really cool thing that TCC does, is combine two features, comipling very fast, and allowing a .c file to be executed after being compiled.
If that could also be combined with unzipping the .c source code before compiling and running, we could potentially reduce the applications more than using that compressed binary program.
One example .c program I wrote was 7865 bytes in a .c file. gcc compiled it to 16799 bytes with optimizations, tcc compiled it to 9896 bytes, which is already a good saving, however if I zip up the source code, it goes down to 2616 bytes, and if I zip up the tcc compiled program it is 3705 bytes, the gcc compiled program zipped up to 7518 bytes.
I realise not all programs will compress and compile to the same ratio, but for the cost/benefit of small size with time to decompress/compile, this seems to outweigh the cost of limitations of bloat.
Think of the new features that we could add to puppy, by keeping it small and adding more features and/or apps.
Yep, its just pie in the sky at the moment. Would anyone like to nominate a project that is already in puppy (and written in c) which could benefit with some size reductions? Ah, proof is in the pudding

Post subject: Compile environment vs. Standard Puppy.iso
Hi folks.
please don't misunderstand me here. I as well as Barry and some other deeper involved programmers/helpers of Puppy don't even think of having the big
compiling environment inside the standard puppy iso image. That would be
against the size restrictions and would probably tripple the actual iso size
No, it was ment to keep/stay with the small great puppy you all know and love!
The ideas is to just have some tar.gz archive files/packages, that one could
install within a standard puppy (probably only after full hdd install/or 1GB pup001) and then
have a full development environment directly within puppy! So could again
make a new puppy version (I am meaning the standard 50-60m one) out of this environment! Or just making new apps. etc. etc.
Think of having standard Puppy installed on hdd.
Then start PupGet .. and there are 3-6 ready to go packages to upgrade
Puppy with development tools.. just like upgrading it probably with a
perl package, java etc.
So the user, that just want's the standard puppy - fine. No problem at all!
The one, that want's to just try some development or even compile apps
for puppy - fine. Just get the required packages..
Have fun

Fiber optics increased the speed and quantity of information that can be transmitted through the Internet by transforming electrical signals into pulsating light.
The same can be done within laptops and other devices by using organic materials containing chromophore as an active compound, according to South Dakota State University materials chemist Cheng Zhang. Components made from this organic material can provide a larger bandwidth and draw less power.
Zhang began working on electro-optical chromophores while earning his doctorate at the University of Southern California. In 2000, he and chemistry professor Larry Dalton developed the first electro-optical chromophore CLD1. The 'C' in the name stands for Cheng, while the LD is for Larry Dalton, he explained. The material was patented by Pacific Wave Communications, LLC, and sold by Sigma Aldrich.
Zhang has continued his work on chromophore since coming to SDSU in 2011 as an assistant professor in the chemistry and biochemistry department through support from the South Dakota Board of Regents.
Microscopic material
To create the material, chromophore -- an organic compound that has color -- is suspended in a soft yet tough material called a polymer, according to Zhang. A coating of this material is then typically placed on a glass or silicon substrate, much like making solar panels, and then used to make electro-optical devices, he explained. Using a polymer makes the resulting device easier to integrate with electronic circuitry.
The bipolar chromophores Zhang is developing are only 3 nanometers long--barely visible under the best electronic microscope. "The diameter of a human hair is about 20,000 times the length of a bi-polar chromophore," he noted.
Insulating rings
These bi-polar chromophores act like magnets. When the tiny rods get too close together, they flip and stick together, Zhang explained. An electric field is applied to align the poles in the same direction; however, the more chromophores that are loaded into the material, the more difficult this becomes.
"This fundamental problem limits the concentration of chromophore that can be loaded into the polymer," Zhang said.
His research work seeks to solve this problem by creating a protective ring around a portion of each rod to keep them apart. This may "prevent the formation of tight aggregates even at the highest concentration," Zhang said.
He demonstrated this on the first ring-protected chromophore, PCR1, and is applying the strategy to current state-of-the-art chromophores.
Chromophore bleaching
When more rods are packed into the material, a new problem has emerged, according to Zhang. The material becomes too conductive, so when the current is applied to align the dipole, the chromophores burn out and die.
To solve the new problem, Zhang has added more insulating rings. If this effort is successful, the resulting material will have a higher electro-optic activity level, which will improve the material's performance.
According to the industry standard, electro-optical materials should be able to withstand 185 degrees Fahrenheit for 2,000 hours while maintaining at least 90 percent of the initial activity. Designing this electro-optic material involves a trade-off between its thermal stability and electro-optic activity.
"If you improve one property, the other property gets sacrificed," he said, "but we have to come up with a novel idea to minimize the trade-off."

Ricciardo fastest in rainy practice at Chinese GP
SHANGHAI (AP) Red Bull driver Daniel Ricciardo set the fastest time on a slippery track in the final practice session at the Chinese Grand Prix on Saturday as the other top drivers limited their running due to the wet weather.
Ricciardo completed his lap around the Shanghai International Circuit in 1 minute, 53.958 seconds, about 0.5 seconds faster than Felipe Massa of Williams in second. Lotus driver Romain Grosjean set the third-fastest time of the morning.
Mercedes drivers Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg and Ferrari's Fernando Alonso did not set a timed lap in the session, spending much of the time in the garage.
A fine rain fell throughout the morning, with more showers predicted for the qualifying session in the afternoon. It looks likely to be the third wet qualifying session of the F1 season, following the rainy conditions in Australia and Malaysia, with both poles won by Hamilton.
Mercedes looks to be the team to beat again in Saturday's qualifying session after posting fast times on the track in practice Friday, though Alonso, Ricciardo and four-time defending world champion Sebastian Vettel were not far off the pace.
Vettel complained of clutch slip and a lack of acceleration during his runs and managed no better than 11th. His team said it appeared to be a KERS problem and they would try to correct it before qualifying.
Lotus driver Pastor Maldonado also ran into mechanical problems, pulling off the track midway through his 13th lap and walking back to the garage. He set the sixth-fastest time of the morning before stopping.
It's been a tough season and a trying week so far for the Venezuelan, who crashed into the wall on his way into the pits on Friday and also spun his car after looking down briefly to adjust the settings on his steering wheel.
He carries a five-place grid penalty into this Sunday's race for flipping Esteban Gutierrez's Sauber at the Bahrain GP two weeks ago.

Flags, Vars, and Script Tiles
Flags, Vars, and Script Tiles
This subject has received more questions and caused more confusion than just about everything else in hacking combined, and we still don't have a guide for it. So, I'm making one. My goal here is to never have to answer another question about these again. So, here we go:
So, let's begin with flags. Flags are simple: they can be turned on and turned off and are used for the purpose of showing progression of events. Most are used to tell if an event has taken place or not. Fairly simple. However, many flags have special purposes which is what I am going to show you now.
A man named DavidJCobb did some very nice research for us in going through FireRed's engine and scripts and noting every single flag he saw and what it did. So, here is the flag section from his list:
*Please note that the above list is only for FireRed. There is no list for Ruby or Emerald. Feel free to make one if you wish, however, the flag (and later var) engines are quite similar on all games, so the same general rules that I am about to share do apply to all games.
Now, the above list goes over every single known flag. As you can see, there are quite a few. However, most are temporary or, from what you can see, a lot have descriptions like "Set by GAME START SCRIPT" and "Used for a CUT tree...", which obviously means you can't use these for other purposes. In fact, the only flags you can use are those which are used only by specific events and scripts that you have removed.
For example, flag 250: "Set if the player received the MASTER BALL from the SILPH CO. PRESIDENT". If you removed the script in which the Master Ball is given, then this flag is safe to use.
Another example is flag 03A: "Controls visibility of the POKEDEX OWs in OAK's Lab (PALLET TOWN (4.3)". If you remove the Pokedexes, then this flag is safe to use also.
A very common misconception is that if the flag is not on the list, then it is safe. This is not true. In general, only flags 200-2FF that are not listed are safe. Other than that, if it isn't on the list or you haven't removed the event that uses it; DON'T USE IT.
So, in general, flags that are safe:
200-2FF Flags for events that have been removed. A lot of flags in the 100's are used to control the visibility of items found on the ground. I personally recommend keeping these for new items you want to leave in the ground however, if you do delete that item location, then there is no reason not to use that flag.
Unless you have the skill of Knizz, Jambo, or JPAN, then these are all you have to work with. There are ways (with ASM) to repoint flags and make more safe, but that is very advanced and I will not be teaching it. However, Jambo51 may release his code for more flags and vars in the near future, but don't bug him about it.
So, let's explain the reasons why flags outside of those ranges aren't safe:
-Many are temporary. Meaning they get reset every time the map changes.
-500-700 are used for Trainer Flags.
-Flags over 900 take up the same space as variables.
That is pretty much it. Fairly simple, huh?
Vars are like the X in math. They can be anything up to 0xFFFF which is a little over 65,000. Like flags, they are used to track progression throughout the game, but they are also used to store information.
DavidJCobb also documented all of the variables used by FireRed and identified which ones are safe:
(Once again, these general rules apply to RSE too, you just won't have a list.)
Script Tiles
This is probably the most confusing thing for a beginner: how to use those green s-tiles in A-map.
Essentially, these tiles will activate the script, which you put in the Script Offset box in the settings, when stepped on. However, it isn't that simple. Look at the picture below:
You will notice that I circled the boxes for "Var Number" and "Var Value". These are pretty cool. What they allow you to do is prevent a script from running again. As we learned above, vars can be any value up to a little over 65,000. So, what do these have to do with a script running? Well, it is quite simple:
The script will run, if and only if, the var in the box is equal to the value
So, let's say you put the var 0x4050 in the space for a var and 0 in the space for the value. Can you guess what happens? If you said that the script will only run if the var 0x4050 is 0, then you are correct.
Even if you want the script to run every time you step on it, you have to provide a valid var. If you leave the var space blank or at 0, then the script won't run. Just make sure that nothing else changes the var and you will be good.
Now, if you only want your script to run the first time you step on it, or to not run again, just add this line to the end of your script:
setvar 0x[valid var] 0x[another number other than the one in the value box]
So, if we take the situation above where we had the var as 0x4050 and the value at 0 and we don't want the script to run again, simply add this to the end of your script:
Now, one last thing: the Unknown. As you can see in the image, the Unknown is set to 0003. This is not necessary. I almost never use it, but most people do use it simply for continuity. It is something that Game Freak, or their compiler for that matter, inserted that has no real purpose that has been identified. It is simply a constant whose use is just personal preference.
So, let's recap:
Safe Flags:
->Flags from events or OWs that have been removed
Safe Vars:
->Make sure you check the list! Some vars have specific functions!
Script Tiles
->Used to make a script run when you step on a specific tile.
->You must provide a var.
->The script will only run if var = value
->To prevent the script from running again, set the var to something else in your script.
If I was unclear about anything or there is something that is still confusing, feel free to leave a message and ask. I will be happy to clear up things and improve this guide!
DavidJCobb- for his massive amount of work dealing with flags and vars and what they control.
Jambo51- for helping me understand what is wrong with flags over 0x900 and exactly what vars are safe.
Until next time!

"The script will run, if and only if, the var in the box is equal to the value"
Does that mean I can use the same var for 65536 different scripts? (as long as each script prepares the var for the next one).

BTW if anyone's hacking Emerald, watch out with those vars. I know this stuff is primarily for FireRed but I recently ran through Battle Frontier's level scripts and several of the ones in the 0x4000+ range are used in there. Can't remember exactly which scripts, but some of the higher ones are also in level scripts in other maps. If you're removing all that stuff from the game it shouldn't matter though unless I'm mistaken. I'm using 0x4059 for all my script tiles right now, making sure it is set at 0 (it's default value) by the end of every script if I ever change it and it's all working so far.

Eilen Jewell's latest album, "Sea of Tears," released Tuesday on Signature Sounds, resembles a tear-in-your-beer night in a honky tonk – specifically a rock 'n' roll-tinged honky tonk circa 1965. It is a bit of a departure from the sound of her previous album, but should continue to make the Cambridge, Mass.-based songwriter one of the fastest rising stars in Americana music.
Eilen Jewell's latest album, "Sea of Tears," released Tuesday on Signature Sounds, resembles a tear-in-your-beer night in a honky tonk – specifically a rock 'n' roll-tinged honky tonk circa 1965. It is a bit of a departure from the sound of her previous album, but should continue to make the Cambridge, Mass.-based songwriter one of the fastest rising stars in Americana music.
If Americana music might be defined as that stew comprised of all kinds of American roots music – blues, country, folk, bluegrass, rock, and so on – then Jewell is well suited for it. An Idaho native who spent time in New Mexico and then lived in California where she began busking in the streets, Jewell relocated to New England in 2003. Not long after that, she decided it was time to get serious about her music.
"I never really tried to make it musically in any other city," Jewell said. "The East Coast is so much more condensed, with more people in a smaller area, you can drive to different venues within a half hour or an hour. Out west, you'd be driving many hours more. I guessed it would be easer to break in here, although there is also more competition. When I was busking in California, I loved it but I wasn't at all serious about it as a career."
"Fairly soon after I moved here, to western Massachusetts initially, I met Jason Beek, my drummer, and he began pushing me to get serious about putting a band together," Jewell added. "Jason really had a lot to do with my putting my thoughts and energy into inserting myself into the music world."
Part of Jewell's musical blossoming included a regular Saturday night residency at the now-defunct Tir Na Nog club in Somerville. Over time she developed a superb permanent band, including Beek, guitarist Jerry Miller, and bassist Johnny Sciascia. After her self-released "Boundary County" in 2006 won plaudits, Jewell was signed by Signature Sounds, a western Mass. label that specializies in rootsy music. Her 2007 album, "Letters from Sinners and Strangers," cracked the top 10 on the national Americana charts, made many critics' Best of 2007 lists, and vaulted her to national prominence.
"I would definitely credit Tir Na Nog for helping get me to where I ended up," Jewell said. "I needed a place where I could simply get in front of a microphone and figure out what I needed to be doing. It was a very supportive, very forgiving atmosphere, and many of the musicians I met became good friends."
Jewell's second album stood out because it found a sweet spot, equidistant between traditional country and folk, with a bit of bluesy flavor. It led directly to high-profile opening gigs for Loretta Lynn, Junior Brown, Chris Smither, and Steve Forbert among others. The new album takes a side step into '60s' rock, and Jewell has traced it to her love of people like Elvis Presley, The Animals, and The Kinks. Perhaps most surprisingly, the new CD includes a cover of the 1965 tune "I'm Gonna Dress in Black," by Them, the British band that gave us Van Morrison.
"I can't say this new sound was deliberate – it just kind of happened that way," said Jewell, 30. "This is the type of music we were listening to in the van, and music we had always loved. Our bassist (Sciascia) introduced us to Them with one of his CDs. It is raw, with a lot of blues in it, but also some folk things going on. I felt like that song was written for us, because most shows we all dress in black."
The new album starts with two haunting, dark songs, "Rain Roll In" and "Sweet Rose," both kind of wistful looks back at life's wrong turns. But then a brightly rocking cover of "Shakin' All Over" changes the mood entirely, before the title cut "Sea of Tears" reviews a doomed love affair with unflinching honesty.
"I don't think we aimed for a darker feeling, but that is the course some of these songs took," said Jewell. "I guess I do tend to prefer sad songs, that's just my taste. I usually stay out of the discussion about song order, but on this album we definitely had different discussions. With so many being kind of dark, we wanted to mix it up a bit. My aim is most definitely not to depress, and things can't be too bad if you're singing about it. I think these kind of songs are comforting in a weird way, and some have a real cathartic effect."

Sammie liked to stay up late, until 11 PM or 12 A.M. Sammie would scream
in the first hour of sleep (3). He stiffened as if in pain (2) around 2 to 3
A.M., then would awaken and ask for a bottle. His sleep had improved in the
past for a few weeks after he was given Ignatia. He talked in his sleep. He
tended to sleep on the left side. He kicked off the covers at night, and would
wake instantly from being covered (3).
When he asked for things, he would sometimes throw them (2). He was
really demanding and insistent (3). He could get really upset over little
things and throw a tantrum (2). If really tired and cranky he could bite his
mother (1). He liked to be touched. He also liked to gently pinch the backs of
people's hands. He played well with other kids. He had excessive wax in his L
ear (2) and would bore his finger in his ear (3).
Sammie had a neurologic workup with two normal EEG's. The neurologist
diagnosed him as having febrile seizures and prescribed an anticonvulsant
medication to no avail. His mother resorted to constant Tylenol to try to keep
the fever below the trigger point whenever Sammie had a URI. Before he was
treated in our office, he had had 16 seizures in 18 months. Sammie was treated
unsuccessfully by another homeopathic physician without any lasting effect on
the seizures. He occasionally received antibiotics, but not in the past year
while he was under homeopathic treatment.
With the current URI, he presented with a fever of 101.6 degrees, a
severe cough (3) and a thick, greenish nasal discharge (2). The cough was
loose, and he would cough a couple of times every few minutes. He sneezed
frequently (2). The cough was worse from lying down (2). He was teething and
drooling at the same time. He did not complain of any pain. The anterior
cervical lymph nodes were enlarged on the left side. He wanted to be carried
(3), and he would cry whenever his mother put him down . He even cried in his
sleep. He had a tendency to bore his thumb into his ears (3), even when he
didn't have an ear infection. His last episode of otitis media had been four
months ago.
He had had diarrhea and loose stools (2), which ranged in color from
dark or light brown to greenish. If he ate cheese, he would get large amounts
of mucus in the stool (2). He desired to eat fruit, but not other sweets. His
appetite was very good. Sammie had been weaned at 14 months. His mother avoided
giving him cow's milk, but he did get some yogurt. He desired fruit and had a
great appetite.

NEW YORK — It's been more than 13 years since the New York Knicks won a playoff series, last occurring all the way back in late April 2000. That's 4,749 days.
After the Boston Celtics stormed into Madison Square Garden on Wednesday night and stunned the Knicks, capturing Game 5 92-86, it's going to be a little longer. Game 6 is Friday at Boston, the Knicks' next chance to close it out. They lead the Celtics 3-2.
On the other sideline, Boston is attempting to make history of their own. No team in NBA history has come back from down 3-0 to win a best-of-seven series. The Celtics are halfway there.
"Someone is going to do it, and I want it to be us, obviously. That's the situation we're in," Celtics coach Doc Rivers said. "Someone will do it, and I really want to be a part of it."
BOX SCORE: Celtics 92, Knicks 86
SCHEDULE: First-round times, TV info
J.R. SMITH: Won't admit to knowing veteran rival
The odds remain long, but what once seemed impossible after the Celtics were badly outplayed in the first three contests, now appears somewhat plausible.
This is the first time any Celtics team has forced a sixth game after trailing 3-0 in a best-of-seven series. And, according to the Elias Sports Bureau, the Celtics are the 11th team in NBA history to do so, the first since they beat the Orlando Magic in 2010. The Houston Rockets became the 12th later in the night against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
The Celtics, in a balanced attack, had five different players score in double figures, led by Jeff Green, who finished with 18 points. Kevin Garnett chipped in 16 points, hauled down a game-high 18 rebounds, and also dished out five assists. He joined Rajon Rondo and Larry Bird as the only Celtic players with that many points, rebounds, and assists in a playoff game since 1985.
After the game,Rivers said he felt it was crucial his team weather the early storm he suspected was coming in the first quarter.
"We talked before the game that we would have to fight amazing emotion to start the game; which happened, as they went up 11-0. We called a timeout and just kept telling them 'We're fine, we're good, just hang in there, just hang in there,' " Rivers said. "Everybody just wanted to be in the fight tonight and everyone did there part. They made a ton of runs, we just hung in there."
PHOTOS: Top shots from Knicks-Celtics series
After beginning the game on an 11-0 run, the Knicks struggled to score the rest of the way. Upon returning from a Game 4 suspension, Sixth Man of the Year Award-winner J.R. Smith couldn't locate his shot. Smith said Tuesday he would have been playing golf after a sweep had he played in Game 4. In Game 5, his impact was more negative, with poor shots and turnovers.
This came after the Knicks entered the Garden wearing all black, a message that this would be a funeral for the Celtics' season. The fashion faux pas backfired.
After the game, Jeff Green was asked about the Knicks choice of clothing. "They wanna do what they wanna do, that's none of our business. We are here to win games. We are here to take care of business. What ever shenanigans they want to pull, and dress in all black, let them do that. We are here to win games, and not talk," said Green.
In the Knicks locker room, Smith accepted responsibility for the defeat, explaining that we was extremely anxious and a bit too "hyped up." As for the wardrobe choice, Smith said, "We were going to a funeral, but it looks like we got buried."
Carmelo Anthony also struggled for a second straight game. Anthony missed 25 of his 35 FG attempts in Boston on Sunday, and finished just 8-for-24 in Game 5. He appeared to hurt his left shoulder in the fourth quarter, but afterwards both he and the team downplayed the injury.
Outside of Raymond Felton, who has been the Knicks' most consistent and effective player throughout this series, New York couldn't bail out its top scorers, Anthony and Smith. New York finished shooting 5-of-21 from three-point territory. New York didn't win a single game during the 2012-13 regular season when making fewer than six three-pointers.
Kenyon Martin was bothered by the lack of effort and intensity New York brought to the floor. "I think they had more of a sense of urgency then we did tonight, and it showed. They played hard. But we have two opportunities left. We are focusing on Game 6 right now," said Martin.
Raymond Felton preferred to look ahead. "We got to put it behind us; we got another game on Friday."
As far as adjustments are concerned, Knicks coach Mike Woodson stated a key for the Knicks would be picking up the pace.
"Now we get to see what we're made of, see if we can go back into Boston and get the game we let get away here," Woodson said.
The Celtics feel the same.
"It's an all-out mentality," center Kevin Garnett said. "No tomorrow. We put ourselves in this 3-0 position."
