RED SOX: Boston loses second straight to Orioles, 8-2
BOSTON -- Jason Hammel learned a valuable lesson the hard way last year. Now, he's taken that knowledge and turned it into early-season success.
Hammel continued his strong start this season by going 6 2-3 solid innings and Mark Reynolds hit a 3-run homer, helping the Orioles send the Boston Red Sox to another Fenway Park failure with an 8-2 win on Saturday.
"I really decided that end of last year it was really time to make an adjustment," said Hammel, acquired from the Colorado Rockies in an offseason trade. "I was getting my teeth knocked in for about four years straight and I decided it was time to make an adjustment. I went down to the bullpen in Colorado and focused on pitching there, learned how to pitch."
Hammel (4-1) limited the Red Sox to a pair of first-inning hits and held them scoreless until he gave up two runs in the seventh. The right-hander gave up two runs, four hits, struck out eight and walked one, slightly raising his impressive ERA to 2.09 from 1.97.
"Boy, he pounded the strike zone with good stuff," Baltimore manager Buck Showalter said. "He's doing the things that give him a chance to win the game."
Last year, Hammel made 25 starts before being demoted to the bullpen in mid-August, but in September he gave up only four earned runs in 20 innings.
On Saturday, Hammel retired 16 of 17 batters, allowing only David Ortiz's fourth-inning walk after the hits in the first before Adrian Gonzalez reached on an infield hit and scored on Ryan Sweeney's RBI double.
Adam Jones added a two-run homer for Baltimore, which won its fourth straight and 10th in the last 12 games.
Baltimore goes for the three-game sweep against the Red Sox on Sunday after taking two of three from the Yankees in New York.
"These last few years teams have always taken advantage of us," Jones said. "Now, we've got a series, but I think we need to sweep. We need to be hungry, keep the momentum going."
Gonzalez had three hits for Boston, which lost its fourth straight and has dropped nine of its last 10 games at Fenway.
"We've just got to come back and play better," Ortiz said. "It's not magical."
The Orioles knocked out starter Aaron Cook (0-1) after 2 2-3 innings and built an 8-0 lead after three. Cook, signed as a minor league free agent in January, was making his first start after Josh Beckett was skipped due to soreness.
Cook suffered a cut on his left knee in the second inning, covering the plate on a passed ball, but stayed in.
"I thought about taking him out immediately. I brought in the guy from the bullpen," Red Sox manager Bobby Valentine said. "The medical staff said he'd be fine. ... I told him, 'Cookie it's on you, man."'
Cook said he got 11 stitches after he came out.
In four of his five previous starts, Hammel was lifted with Baltimore having scored three runs or fewer. His last start was a 2-1 loss at the New York Yankees on Monday.
The Orioles gave him plenty of run support this time.
Leading 1-0, six of eight batters collected hits and another walked as Baltimore chased Cook with six runs in the third. The two outs came on Robert Andino's liner to left and Endy Chavez being caught on the front end of a double-steal attempt at third.
Nick Markakis had an RBI single before Jones belted a homer over the Green Monster seats and completely out of Fenway. Wilson Betemit, the last batter Cook faced, had an RBI single after Matt Wieters doubled and Chris Davis singled, making it 5-0.
Clayton Mortensen relieved and Reynolds homered into the Monster seats. Reynolds also hit his first home run of the season in Friday's win.
Baltimore took a 1-0 lead in the second when Davis scored on Jarrod Saltalamacchia's passed ball. Cook was spiked by Davis' slide as the pitcher came sliding knees-first trying to block the plate. Cook was looked at by a Red Sox trainer on the field then headed down the dugout steps and Mortensen came trotting in from the bullpen before Cook came back out and the reliever headed back to the pen.

Steel fabricators play an important role in House making . It is common knowledge that steel is a high quality metal which makes it strong and durable. Anything made of steel possesses these two vital qualities. Therefore, steel fabrication can apply in making door frames, windows, table stands, bed rails and many more. Fabricators normally use steel on things that require extra strength.

Michael Dean "Mike" Crapo (pronounced /ˈkreɪpoʊ/ "Cray-poe"; born May 20, 1951) is the senior United States Senator from the state of Idaho. He is a member of the Republican Party. He became Idaho's Senior Senator in January 2009, as Larry Craig declined to seek reelection in 2008.
Crapo was born in Idaho Falls, Idaho, the son of Melba (née Olsen) and George Lavelle Crapo. He is distantly related to Henry Howland Crapo, who served as Governor of Michigan from 1865 to 1869, and William Crapo Durant, Henry's grandson, who founded General Motors. Mike Crapo and Henry Crapo are first cousins, four times removed, as Henry's father, Jesse Crapo, and Mike's great-great-great grandfather, Charles Crapo, were brothers. Crapo graduated from Idaho Falls High School in 1969, then earned a B.A. in political science from Brigham Young University in 1973 and a J.D. from Harvard Law School in 1977.
The senator married Susan Diane Hasleton in June 1974; the couple has five children.

Charles O. Nutter of the JRuby project is seeking proposals for Google's Summer of Code (GSoC).
Among the suggested projects is this one of possible interest to many [J]Ruby on Windows users:
Win32OLE Library for JRuby - Implement the win32ole library for JRuby. This would also be an excellent contribution, since there's already libraries like Jacob to take some of the pain out of it, and it would be great to have it working on JRuby. (suggested by sgwong)
Update from Charlie:
BTW, if you know anyone that might be interested in doing this through GSoC, please spread the word quickly. The deadline for submissions is Monday, April 7, so there's not a lot of time left.
And to make it more attractive, there's already a very nice Java library that provides COM/OLE support (http://danadler.com/jacob/) so the task is more about wiring that library into JRuby than mucking about with any low-level native nasties.
I'd love to see this project undertaken, as it could be a big boost for those of us who currently do COM automation work with Ruby. I haven't done much with JRuby yet (a wee bit of Jython in the past), but I like the possibilities for having an easily-distributable app (JAR file?) that includes a GUI (e.g., Swing) and Win32OLE functionality.
What do you think? Would a Win32OLE library increase the likelihood of you using JRuby for some future projects?

Area angler joins the elites
LONE STAR — The fish play hard to get at first on this windswept late spring day, one of at least 200 that Casey Scanlon will spend on a lake this year. Today it's Lone Star Lake in southwest Douglas County where the 28-year-old Lenexa resident and Kansas University alum will fish to tune up for June's three Bassmaster Elite Series tournaments — the first of which was fished over the weekend at Toledo Bend in Many, La.

MAYPORT, Fla. – Construction workers say traffic will be hectic on and around Naval Station Mayport next week.
More than half of the employees have not been to the base since before Christmas and, thus, didn't get notified of a road closure that starts Monday.
"I'm sure the first couple of days it will cause a little confusion," said Phillip Lavallee, of the Mayport Public Works Department.
The intersection at Moale Avenue and Baltimore Street is going to be closed to all traffic beginning Monday morning, and construction management says traffic will be hectic at the main gate to the base with many coming back from vacation.
Drivers who normally use Moale Avenue to access Baltimore Street will have to continue on Maine Street and detour on Massey Avenue to get to Baltimore Street. Moale Avenue west of the intersection will be restricted to local traffic only.
The Navy did a traffic study in 2008, and that's why it decided to expand the some of the popular roads.
"The new style is going to be a more modern boulevard style, which will have two lanes in each direction, separated by a median with dedicated turn lanes and will add some new signaling," Lavallee said.
Hanna Park/Seminole Gate will also be closed for the duration of the project, which will be about two months.
Drivers should plan for extreme congestion at the main gate during peak morning hours and are encouraged to use Gate 5 on the west side of the base near Mayport Village as an alternate.
The construction project will add temporary sidewalks around the construction site to allow school children passage to their bus stop locations.
Most of the congestion in the Mayport area is from 6:30 a.m. to 8 a.m. and 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. Navy officials hope the construction project will relieve some of the bad traffic.
"Once it's all done, it will be much less hectic, yes," Lavallee said.
The project will cost about $6.7 million, and this first phase should be done by mid-March.

That Time Mark Wahlberg Kissed Me Goodnight
It was 106 degrees yesterday and Garrett was home covered up in blankets and piles of kleenex feeling sick as a dog. Super duper YUCK. Isn't summer the worst time to have a bad cold? He was feeling pretty sorry for himself yesterday so I spent the afternoon manning the station at Man Cold Central, doing some work at home and finishing some organizing projects. While I was cleaning out the closet in our front bedroom I came across a giant tub of old photographs which led me to the realization that digital photography is the only reason I did not end up on Hoarders.
THANK YOU, DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY. I owe you one.
I have SO MANY old useless pictures. Would you like 100+ dark and blurry pictures of the Joey McIntyre concert I attended in 2002? No sweat, I gotcha covered! And don't worry, I have THE NEGATIVES too in case we need to reprint the batch. I mean, I must have had to CHANGE THE FILM IN MY CAMERA MORE THAN ONCE. So glad I meticulously documented that night out! 🙂
In the end though, there were some hilarious old photos too, so I busted out a few so Garrett could have a laugh while feeling like death on the couch. His personal favorite of old dorky pictures of me is still this one that now hangs on our fridge:
Yes, I do have a license for those finger guns, why do you ask?
Also, random aside, this was the era of my dance career where I was constantly being told how fat I was. This was the year when I first started Weight Watchers. Seriously? WHAT THE FUCK EVER.
Anyway, I posted that to Instagram ages ago and some of you got a chuckle over it, so why not post it here for more of you to point and laugh. Anything for you! I also posted this next photo to Instagram last night and a few of you asked for the story behind it so I'll give ya the (long winded, apparently) cliffs notes.
First let's talk about the obvious: my tongue is pierced in this picture and I look ridiculous. I pierced it when I was 18 and left it in on and off for about 5 years. My family hated it. I loved it. I guess I'm just glad I did that instead of getting that super meaningful tramp stamp of the Chinese Symbol for Whatever It Was That Was Cool in 1999. Bullet: Dodged.
Anyway, the other obvious thing: that's Mark Wahlberg on the left. Maybe less obvious, for those who didn't have a super psycho 90s obsession with Third Eye Blind, on the right that is Stephan Jenkins. Do you know why I loved him? (I mean, aside from the fact that moody looking dark haired gentleman are totally my type. duh.) Because he was a "smart" stoner (Valedictorian at UC Berkeley. And um, decidedly NOT sober in that picture.) Listen, I was 22. I was not the arbiter of good taste in men at the time. So.
It was 1999, I was living on the westside of Los Angeles, my life was kind of a mess and my roommate and I had gone out that night to The Key Club for some sort of benefit for Breast Cancer, I think. It had some kind of cheeky name involving boobs, but all we cared about was that Stephan Jenkins was headlining the event solo. My roommate at the time may have loved him just a smidge more than I did, if possible, so we showed up and decided that Operation: Get Backstage was in full effect.
Obviously we did what any
self respecting determined young ladies do when they want to get backstage, and we chatted up the bouncer. Well, at least my roommate did. As you can see from the photo I was wearing a button up shirt. I mean…had I just come from my day job? (I was working as a PA at Extra at the time. Sadly it was Pre-Mario Lopez. But I was a career woman, nonetheless. HA!) WHAT WAS THE BUTTON UP SHIRT ABOUT? So yeah, I've just never been that girl who is oozing with sensuality and can sweet talk bouncers. I am more of a seducer with my awkward. I was the loud chick with her tongue pierced who sends her desperate-to-be-slutty roommate to do that. MUAHAHAHAHA.
He let us back there for some reason and so we decided to hang out in the absolutely empty green room which was indeed green and filled with All Of The Heineken. Also some shitty cheese tray, and a Coscto sized box of altoids. I guess the condoms were hidden somewhere. It was skeezy. We immediately realized though that everyone who was wandering around backstage had these "All Access" Bracelets on. We had no bracelets. Hmmm…but we were smart girls so we got the bright idea that we would just sit on stools outside the green room and "check people's bracelets" as they walked by and look very official until our boyfriend Stephan showed up. And dude it totally worked! Everyone seemed to think it was business as usual. Must have been my very official button up shirt.
Then we realized that the reason that it was empty in the green room was because there was a VIP bar down at the basement level. OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH, ok. So we headed down there because we heard Stephan was "IN THE BUILDING." Squeee! He totally was! And without Charlize, which you know, was essential. Because obviously it gave us waaaaaaaaaaaaaay better chances of all running away together if his OSCAR WINNING SUPERMODEL GIRLFRIEND wasn't there. Makes sense. Out of sight out of mind, I'm sure. Whew!
So he's down there, but we can't *actually* talk to him because that requires using words and in that moment I think we could only just look at each other wide eyed and squealing under our breath. So we decided to head back upstairs to get it together. Back to the green room we go, where we have to put our Bracelet Checking Identities back on. As we're sitting on our stools Duncan Sheik shows up (he was also performing that night) and immediately asks "Oh do you need to see my bracelet" Um…duh, Duncan. Get with the program. So he does and heads into the green room for some…altoids? Cheese? I don't know. But since he is there all alone we decide to chat it up with him and crack open a beer.
"Are you allowed to drink while you are working?" he says, "That's cool."
So now that we are all 3 BFFs we confess to Duncan that we, in fact are dumb groupie chicks dying to meet Stephan and right as we do this Stephan comes in the green room for some…altoids? I don't know. BUT THERE HE IS. And luckily my roommate has some sort of ability to talk normal to him. I think I was buttoning my shirt or adjusting my choker or something, but he tells us he's about to perform and we should watch him from the side of the stage. We ask him to play our favorite song. HE TOTALLY OPENS THE SHOW WITH IT.
As we are sitting at the side of stage being absolute fucking idiots, we realize that the gentleman in front of us is MARK FUCKING WAHLBERG. And then I die, obviously, because I am one degree of separation from Donnie. He was rolling incognito that night with a hat and beard (later I'd find out he was filming The Perfect Storm at the time) and so it took a minute. But we ended up finding out that he had just finished making a movie with Charlize Theron and so obvs, they must all now be super Hollywood BFFs and we were going to find a way infiltrate this circle with our coolness, if only to wedge Charlize out of the picture. Duh. PIECE OF CAKE.
When the show finished, Stephan came off stage, hugged Mark and they both headed up the stairs, past the green room to a SECRET GREENROOM that was outside in some random refurbished bus situation with some bodyguard-esque dude. We totally followed. And spent the rest of the evening shooting the shit in a bus with Mark Wahlberg, Stephan Jenkins, and some bodyguard that totally thought we were sluts. Newsflash: WE WERE NOT. Again, I WAS WEARING A BUTTON UP SHIRT. I didn't even know from slutty, sorry. Well, let's be real, I'm not sorry. But the night wound down and they were going to go over The Viper Room and did we want to come along?
But my roommate was only 20 at the time. The show was an 18 and over show. AN 18 AND OVER SHOW, YOU GUYS. THIS ENTIRE TIME. I mean, what?????????? We were so lame. So we had to say goodnight, and as such there were lots of hugs and goodnight kisses and photographs taken by bouncer dudes that thought we were sluts, and one of those kisses from MARKY-EFFING-MARK landed right around my lip area, mostly because he was wasted, not because he was trying to put the moves on me. Maybe he was actually just trying to get a better look at my awesome choker.
But from that point on it became That Time Mark Wahlberg Kissed Me Goodnight. That has such a better ring to it than dorky, desperate groupie chicks stalk Hollywood dudes and watch them smoke weed in a bus, right?
Better SEO too, I'm sure. 🙂

How About These White Sox…and Tommy Lasorda's Big Mistake
Jake Peavy did his best Philip Humber imitation, pitching a masterful three-hit, complete game shutout. The back-to-normal Adam Dunn and red-hot Paul Konerko hit back-to-back homers in the fourth inning, giving Peavy all the support he needed to offset the outstanding outing by the A's Bartolo Colon. And, in the end, the Sox went on to win their fourth straight with a 4-0 victory last night in Oakland.
Furthermore, take a look at the standings this morning. The only American League team with a better record is Texas at 13-4. Right behind are the Sox and Tigers tied for the A.L. Central lead at 10-6 and the Yankees and Blue Jays knotted up for the A.L. East lead with the same record. Everyone else is behind these five leaders.
I know it's early, but this is a lot of fun and I'm going to enjoy it.
Konerko on verge of 400th homer
Konerko's homer last night was the 399th of his career, tying him for 48th place in major league history with Al Kaline and Andres Galarraga. One more and he joins the "400" club.
Paulie's standing as one of the game's Top 50 home run hitters brings to mind Tommy Lasorda's comment when the Dodgers traded Konerko to Cincinnati for reliever Jeff Shaw (the Sox acquired PK from the Reds for Mike Cameron). The Hall of Fame manager said, and I paraphrase, that he was comfortable making the deal because he didn't see Konerko as a 20-homer guy in the major leagues.
As wrong as Lasorda was in judging Konerko's home run prowess, he was right about one thing. Paulie isn't a 20-homer slugger. From 1999-2011 in a White Sox uniform, No. 14 averaged 30 homers. He's had 40 or more twice, 30 or more five times and 20 or more on five occasions.
So much for Lasorda as a talent evaluator.

A Hollywood Ending?
Breaking News: Carlos Quentin placed on the 15-day disabled list, Dayan Viciedo recalled from Charlotte.
This is a Hollywood script in the making. Just imagine, Viciedo finally arrives on the South Side, has a monster five weeks and helps the White Sox overcome the seven-game deficit to win the A.L. Central.
I'm just saying…
What were the odds…at the beginning of the season that Brent Lillibridge (12) would have more home runs than Adam Dunn (11) at the end of August? And Lilli has done it in about 200 less at bats. Brent's 12th, a two-run blast, came last night and proved to be the difference in the 4-2 Sox victory over the Mariners At Safeco Field. A native of the Seattle area, Lilli is shown above, perhaps pointing to this friends and family in the stands.

Two SUNY Canton Students from Lowville Earn Chancellor's AwardsMonday, April 25th, 2011
Two SUNY Canton soccer team captains from Lowville won Chancellor's Awards for Student Excellence.
State University of New York Chancellor Nancy L. Zimpher recognized Justin C. Martin, an alternative and renewable energy systems student, and Angeline D. Waryasz, a veterinary science technology student, for their outstanding academic achievement and involvement at the College
"These students are proven leaders, athletes, artists, community servants, and much more," Zimpher said. "They represent the future of our state and are perfect examples of The Power of SUNY. I congratulate all of the students receiving recognition and thank them for the positive impact each of them has had on SUNY and the communities we serve."
Martin has been a math tutor for three years, a member of the alternative and renewable energy club, served on the College's Intercollegiate Athletic Board and the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee. He was recognized as a Daktronics-NAIA scholar athlete, and an NAIA honorable mention All-American, and was the outstanding scholar athlete in men's soccer this year.
"Justin is upbeat and friendly," said Daniel J. Gagliardi, associate professor of mathematics. "He is also well organized and has a tremendous work ethic. He is generous with his knowledge and is always willing to help his peers."
In soccer, he played 61 games and had one goal and one assist. Martin was part of the team's strong defensive line that only allowed 2.4 goals per game during his career.
Waryasz has been recognized as a member of the All-Sunrise Conference women's soccer team during both of her years at the College and this year was named the outstanding scholar athlete in women's soccer by the conference. She's worked as a peer tutor and has volunteered to help Canton community members clean their homes and lawns each spring. She's made the president's list for her outstanding grades for three consecutive semesters, and received an honorable mention acknowledgement during the College's annual Scholarly Activities Celebration.
"Angie is a fantastic student, a great player, and a wonderful teammate," said Kate Thomas-Moody, head women's soccer coach. "She works as tirelessly in the classroom as she does on the soccer field. She has a great work ethic and I'm certain that she is going to be very successful after SUNY Canton."
She scored 19 goals and had 13 assists and played 35 games during her two years at the College.
The Chancellor's Award for Student Excellence is awarded annually to both a bachelor's and associate degree student from SUNY Canton.

Anna Nicole Smith's long-time doctor and friend Khristine Erosevich has been convicted of conspiracy in the model/actress' 2007 drug death.
Smith's lawyer and companion Howard K. Stern has also been found guilty on some charges at a trial alleging the pair conspired to prescribe prescription drugs to an addict.
A Los Angeles jury returned mixed verdicts on Thursday afternoon in the two-month drug trial.
The jury members found psychiatrist Eroshevich guilty of four counts of obtaining medication through fraud, but were left deadlocked on two additional charges of illegally obtaining controlled substances for an addict.
Stern was found not guilty on seven counts of obtaining and providing drugs to an addict, but he was convicted of two conspiracy counts of aiding and abetting.
Both Eroshevich and Stern face prison time. Sentencing is scheduled for January 6.
A third defendant, Dr. Sandeep Kapoor, was acquitted on all counts.
Attorneys for Stern, Kapoor and Eroshevich argued during the trial that each of their clients were acting in Smith's best interests and helping someone with documented pain and depression.
Smith died following a prescription drug overdose in a Florida hotel in February 2007.

SHANGHAI (Reuters) - China suspended imports of U.S. drugmaker Pfizer Inc's AIDS-related drug Diflucan on Tuesday, citing a problem with late paperwork, the country's food and drug watchdog said in a statement on its website.
Pfizer, the largest drugmaker in the United States, contravened Chinese law when one of its France-based factories failed to submit a supplementary application on time, the China Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said in the statement.
With the country's healthcare spending forecast to nearly triple to $1 trillion by 2020 from $357 billion in 2011, according to consulting firm McKinsey, China is a magnet for makers of medicines and medical equipment.
Pfizer has taken steps to resolve the issue and is working with China's FDA to ensure its products comply with Chinese law, it said in a statement on its Chinese-language website. The issue is not linked to quality or safety, it added.
Some analysts said the incident looked like a paperwork "glitch" and should be short-lived.
"It should not impact too much Pfizer's business in China and I am sure the imports will be resumed once the procedure is complete," said Simon Li, Shanghai-based general manager at Kantar Health China.
China has been cracking down this year on the healthcare sector, with investigations ranging from allegations of corporate bribery to how drugs are priced, as well as drives to increase quality and safety levels across the sector.
Diflucan, which treats fungal infections linked to AIDS, had worldwide sales of $259 million in 2012, according to Pfizer's latest annual financial statement, a small fraction of the firm's $59 billion revenue that year. Pfizer has more than 9,000 employees in China and operates in more than 250 Chinese cities.

thank you james,
looks like i've broken hardinfo with a 'cleanup', although I did think I had tested that afterwards, tonights problem!;
yes the nv driver is as suspected, maybe one of the non-free mageia nv driver packages will give you better results if you think it's needed, mageia has a policy of only totally free in the 'core' and I must follow that if i'm to use their base.
I shall have to look at ext4 settings in my kernel build and mageia's system as I use ext2 and ext3 by default's as well as playing with btrfs, maybe i've forgotten to set it up corectly.
And, yes I do like their dillo package, they spent some time on getting it working well and fast!
thanks again

Hardinfo was ok for me and all my primary testers in all cases, is it the same thing james is having?, can you list your problems with it and attach a hardinfo from another puppy and i'll see if I can sort it out.
I get the same result as james with hardinfo.
I had no problems compiling:
midnight commander 220.127.116.11,htop-1.0.1,geeqie-1.0,cmus-2.4.3,and qupzilla-1.3.1
Is there a kernel source sfs available for download? I need that to compile the
Nvidia driver for my card.
Actually, I've been able to add most of the apps that I want.
I'd better back up my savefile before I break it
I installed mesa from the mageia-core repo and it's working good,
google-earth runs great with it.
Screen resolution is up to 1280x800 which is good too.
I also installed icewm from the mageia-core repo.
Updated Seamonkey to 2.11
Added Firefox 14.0.1
So far I'm liking mage2, thanks

Post subject: Mageia 2 Puppy, Mage and 'qtpuppy'
Subject description: continued
I'm still testing mage2, I did a frugal install on this pc and I
copied my savefile from the first install to a flash drive.I'm
using it on the new install.
I had to recompile mplayer for some reason but everything else is okay
I think.
I used the ppm to install kshisen from the mageia-core repo, it has a
lot of dependencies but it is working great.
I get the correct resolution on this pc as well 1280x1024 using the
vesa driver.
Installing packages from the mageia repos in ppm is working well, I've
only done a few (lxterminal,geany0.20,icewm,and kshisen) but they all
work well.

thanks for the testing work folks,
Going through the 'returns', I answer with:
Firstly, after a night's slaving, I can't fault hardinfo here on any of my five differently configured testboxes, nor can my three other local testers, although I have noticed that none of us have nv cards, so maybe it a driver related problem. I must (again) try to remember to get one next time i'm down there! Can you try another driver please? Also for some, you need to click on an item on the left-hand panel or top panel to get the others up (in case that is your problem). The hardinfo is puppy's, I shall change over and use mageia's instead (as I notice they have now caught up the version) for the beta! I do have a gdkPixbuff problem or two to fix, but that only relates to missing / differances in paths between puppy and mageia as well as a couple of missing directories not used by mageia but by puppy, these should not be killing anything though and will be fixed in the beta.
definately be replacing it with mageia's, it's 132k smaller, even with the dependancy lib's not already installed.
And yes, in my 30meg cleanup, I had killed Viewnior again, can you please add this link (cut and paste) through the 'console' please, that should fix it (puppy uses libxcb-xlib while mageia uses libX11-xcb for the same thing, one of it's 'quirks' for a puppy user). It will be included in the beta.
ln -s /usr/lib/libX11-xcb.so.1.0.0 /usr/lib/libxcb-xlib.so.0
The current kernel is only built for 4 cpu cores so it shows the max of 5, that is why it is showing as such for the rich, I wanted it at a point I could test to the limits. When I rebuild it for the beta I shall run it up to the max (16 I think) but adding extra cores does add to the kernel packages sizes. I shall upload the current kernel source sfs tonight, and show a link here afterwards, but be aware it's already some 99meg in size!
Missing libs are usually version differences if puppy packages are involved and usually just need some links adding, I mentioned how to fix them earlier. If they are mageia packages, check using the 'check dependancies installed package' tab please, install the extra lib from the appropriate mageia repositry AND let me know so I can chase up why it's not also installing with the package (or
did you tell it to only install the package).
billtoo, don't know why mplayer didn't work for you, haven't had any other complaints for it, although mageia 2 uses gstreamer instead, as I shall be in qtpuppy as it is seriously less processor loading as well as being more flexable.
I have found that Mageia has split dependancies up much more than puppy does, numbers of them are not relative to overall size, so don't get overly worried about it, there are a number of two and less digit packages in mageia.
1280x1024 seems to be the puppy installers 'standard', I usually just change it at that stage to mine (1024x768) and it's happy.
and finally, I won't be updating woof2 until the release as I don't want to go back to 'unfixing' what I have fixed and what is there is stable.
thanks to all helping to date
ps for the gamers, try drascula in the non-free repositry.

I think this would be perfect for QT puppy.
It's called Scrok Filer. It's a QT clone of Rox.
It's meant to be used with the KDE desktop but I'm sure it would work awesome on Razor-QT.
What is truly odd is that the developer claims that Scrok is even lighter then ROX, and yet it uses KDE libs.
You could also include DinoFM, which is another lightweight QT file manager.

Post subject: backgrounds
By the way, if anyone wants to add their favorite backgrounds to the 'available list' in the release, just attach them and i'll put them in.
I'm also trying to find an old program I had back when SuSE was v6 that allowed you to 'serialize' a number of jpg's into one file, you could pick individuals to display or have a timed 'step-through', and it shrunk them considerably in size. If I can find it's source, build and get it working I think it would be a plus.

Post subject: Quick test
Hi scsijon
Just a quick frugal install on my HP550 laptop to see what you are up to...
Boots fine to desktop - add the zz patch pet, made savefile, connected to wifi using SNS AOK.
1. Desktop icon switcher (have to change those orange icons ASAP) - no images or icons showing
2. No FlSynclient so can't tweak my touchpad parameters....
3. the sfs load dialogue is missing all its borders
I also await the kernel-source sfs so I can compile the Broadcom-STA drivers for your puppy
Hope helps
p.s. download speed is somewhat slow to the uk....have you thought about asking smokey01 for some download space?
p.p.s the version of Seamonkey is really old!!
LxPup = Puppy + LXDE
Main version used daily: LxPupSc; Assembler of UPups, ScPup & ScPup64, LxPup, LxPupSc & LxPupSc64

Post subject: possible hardinfo fix and a qtpuppy plan
Hi peebee, welcome
the missing images/icons tell me it is not matching the video driver, maybe you need to see what it is using and pick another
yeah, I forgot that orange on orange kills borders, the orange 'citrus-cut' was to define an alpha for me, go into jwm config and change one of them to something else such as the jwm theme to 'origonal' and that should fix that problem.
My website is in australia and is used by leadlighters and potters as well as puppy people, but it shouldn't be slow as I have open 1kmb bandwidth to the router, maybe there were a few downloading this or something else in one of my other groups or boards as I have three on the box.
I haven't gone further than the basics with touchpad 'stuff' yet as my one notepad with touchpad is slowly dying. And thanks for the offer of building a driver, if you put a url for it I shall download and add it to the default packagelist.
The default seamonkey is a fully stable one from the mageia 1 mage004 build so I have used it for testing. Have a look back in the replies as someone did update it. Mageia uses firefox by default, but their dillo is great as it has been debugged and speeded up. At the moment I am keeping to puppy and mageia standards, when I start back into qtpuppy things will change.
For the others,
- For those having hardinfo problems,
1- Also try going through the Lighthouse sys-info manu and see if that works?
2- Can you download and install from the Mageia core repositry the following two system packages
libgdk_pixbuf2.0_0 and libuClibc-zlib1
, then install please, reboot and let me know if it fixes it. They are the full mageia packages that puppy has cut down, if it fixes it I shall add them to the default set.
I tried out the mageia hardinfo package, but can't see any differances against the puppy one except about 120k in size and it has no direct menu access so I would have to repackage it anyway for little gain.
And just on the qtpuppy topic:
I am comitted to matching the 'Puppy Standard Set' with mage2's mageia 2 puppy before I start cutting and pasting when I branch off with qtpuppy, it may not be perfect at that point, but should work on most ocasions and with most packages. If someone wants to take it on as a project at that point I will be happy to pass it on, giving help as I can.
I will build a mage 3 puppy when mageia 3 is out as I now have most of the necessary knowledge. Mageia 3 will be a different 'beastie' from the earlier ones though.
I am also considering a x86-64 mage 2 puppy as I am seriously considering paralleling qtpuppy, having it both in i586, and x86-64 with vm's for working with other platforms.
What I intend to do with mage2's first qtpuppy's, release codes 2.0.90 - 2.0.99, is to do what I did with my earlier warz builds and split all apps into their own sfs first. I can update/cut/kill and add at this stage and that is as far as I will be following puppy's standards. Things like removing mplayer and it's stuff and replace with mageia's gstreamer and it's kit, which is much better as well as being less processor intensive; getting rid of Seamonkey and replace with Mozilla packages is the second set; adding the latest stable qt4.8.x; adding the eggwm desktop as an alternate to jwm; and removing duplicate apps out of the default set are it's goal. Anything else will be by pet or a mageia package for the user to add into their savefile although I will have Pet Maker 2.2. so the user can build their own pets or sfs's.
Hopefully it will be out by October 2012.
In the following version (2.1.90 - 2.1.99), I shall remove quite a bit of what is unneeded in a qt development environment from the (2.0.9x) 'base system' and bring in some of the 'behind the scenes' parts of the dev tools I use now. The apps in the apps.sfs will shrink considerably and have the new qt and other development apps included in a qtapps.sfs, as well as reforming the Menu system to provide a separate 'Development' main Menu point and subpoints, rather than loading them into Utilities as is now (not barry's fault as it hasn't needed separating). It will also be the stage I bring the Razorqt/qlwm (pure qt) desktop into the 'visable world', as well as replacing quite a few apps and utilities we now use with qt equivalents.
This is planned at this stage for a Febuary 2013 release as quite a bit had already been done in warz until I hit too many problem blockers and decided to change bases.
That's my stop point for now, although I do have a page or two of items on my wish-list for the following one and will no doubt add or change some from sugestions appearing here, I need to get back on track.
On top of this i'm working in a small way with the mageia-dev team on mageia 3, and do have my Leadlighting business to keep going so things are not boring here.
regards to all

The Montgomery family are third generation farmers in South Somerset, producing world-class unpasteurised cheese by hand to ensure that each and every cheese is worthy of the accolade West Country Farmhouse Cheddar.
We make about 60 truckles of unpasteurised farmhouse Cheddar each week with the milk produced by our 140 Friesian cows. Before joining the herd, our young cows roam on South Cadbury "Camelot", an Iron Age hill fort on the farm, heavily fortified at the time that King Arthur defended Wessex from the Saxons.
We make our cheese 7 days a week to ensure the freshness of the milk, which is vital since the milk is not heat-treated before use. The cultures used to create acidity are the same strains used when the family started cheesemaking 70 years ago. They are difficult to handle and produce a wide variation in flavours, but they have lots of character.
We're one of the few cheesemakers who still uses calf rennet, the traditional source of the enzyme, to start the curd; and possibly the only farmhouse Cheddar still using an old, slow peg mill to produce the peculiar fissuring and brittleness of the cheese.
Although the cheese we produce is reward enough for all our hard work, I was very proud to be awarded Champion Cheesemaker of the World this year.

GIRLS BASKETBALL: Cromwell rallies, stuns Coginchaug in Shoreline final, 59-56 (video)
DEEP RIVER -- It was a comeback for the ages in a game that will be remembered for a long time.
Powered by the front-line duo of junior Lindsay Langenauer and Janelle Harrison, Cromwell captured their second Shoreline Conference championship in three years with a 59-56 victory against top-seeded Coginchaug Friday at Valley Regional.
After trailing by 16 points on two occasions in the first half, the Panthers outscored the Blue Devils 37-23 in the second half.
"To overcome what they did is a credit to them," said Cromwell coach Kelly Maher. "It was a total team effort. It was everyone's goal tonight to win the game."
Langenauer led four Panthers in double figures with 17 points. Junior forward Kelly Flanigan scored 14 points, while sophomore guard Emily Appleby and Harrison each had 11 points. Harrison also grabbed 12 rebounds.
PRESS BOX: Saturday's cover, featuring Cromwell girls basketball
Cromwell (21-2) took its first lead of the night with a devastating 15-0 run to close out the third quarter. The Panthers capped the run with amazing back-to-back conventional three-point plays from Flanigan and Appleby that gave them a 41-39 lead.
Coginchaug senior Audrey Biesak, who led all scorers with 23 points, opened the fourth quarter with her first trey to give the Blue Devils the lead at 42-41.
The game see-sawed early in the fourth quarter. Another 3-pointer and a free throw from Biesak gave Coginchaug a 46-43 lead. But Cromwell responded with a 6-0 run, taking the lead for good on a pair of inside hoops from Harrison and a low post bucket from Langenauer.
"We just told the guards to pound it inside," said Langenauer. "We knew we had the height advantage."
Blue Devils senior Lauren Esposito drained a 3-pointer to cut it 55-54 with just 37 seconds left. But Flanigan sank four free throws down the stretch to keep Coginchaug at bay.
"We just came out in the third quarter and worked hard," said Cromwell senior Bernie McMahon. "That's all heart right there.It just shows all the heart that this team has and how much we wanted it."
Senior guard Sam Mancinelli scored 15 points, while sophomore Morgan Kuehnle had seven points for Coginchaug (21-2).
Coginchaug blitzed the Panthers with a fast-paced 10-0 run in the first quarter. Highlights included a pair of fast-break baskets from Biesak, a runner from Esposito and a short jumper from sophomore Morgan Kuehnle as the Blue Devils took a 14-4 advantage.
Cromwell's Bernie McMahon drained a 3-pointer to cut it to 16-9 with 3:02 left in the first. But the Blue Devils responded with a 7-0 spurt. Biesak, who scored 14 points in the opening quarter, came up with a pair of steals and driving layups, which were sandwiched between a corner 3-pointer from Mancinelli.
McMahon sank a pull-up jumper with 11 seconds left and Cromwell trailed, 23-11.
Turnovers continued to plague the Panthers in the second quarter as the Blue Devils lead ballooned to 16 points. Cromwell mustered just one field goal in the second quarter, but the Panthers made 9 of 12 free throws and trailed 33-22 at intermission.
"We talked at halftime about all the things that weren't going our way in the first half," said Maher, who also guided the Panthers to the Shoreline title in 2010. "We had a ton of turnovers, we weren't boxing out and we were missing easy shots. We were only down 10 and if we stopped turning the ball over and started making some shots, we could comeback."
The teams split their two regular season meetings. Coginchaug defeated Cromwell, 59-47, in Durham on Jan. 13. The Panthers then saddled the Blue Devils with their only loss of the season, topping Coginchaug 50-37 on Jan. 26.
The Blue Devils defeated No. 5 Hyde 56-31 in the semifinals on Tuesday, while Cromwell eliminated No. 6 Old Saybrook 58-37 in the other semifinal.
"We got off to a great start, obviously," said Coginchaug coach Rett Mancinelli. "Then our offense just got bogged down. On the other end they were just pushing us around in the paint so that was kind of the turning point in the game there. It's a tough way to end the Shoreline season.

I live to write. It's not wise to get in my way.
August 2011: the earlier posts in this blog are a mess, the result of me changing the format some time ago. I'm working to edit the entire blog from the beginning, but with over 4K posts and sodall time for such luxuries it's going to take a while... [02/09/16 - Now reached 09/10/2004][20/03/2019 - giving up. I don't have enough time to update the blog atm, let alone edit old entries!]
If you come across any words you don't recognise in this blog, take a look at the Taylorspeke Glossary in the left-hand infopane, you'll usually find a definition there.
First, a recommendation. Dive over to The Jonathan Day Fiction Site and try some of the stories. I love this author's writing - it's funny, bitingly witty, dryly incisive, chilling, and deliciously subversive by turns. Absolutely well worth a look!

Interesting... the BusinessServe-hosted WordWrights site has vanished. Does this indicate things are starting to happen - or is it just another Saturday night BusinessServe failure? Their main site is still up, and so is Haadri, so I'd hazard a guess it's the former...
Feels horrible though, not having it accessible...

A proposed Department of Human Services Fraud Unit being debated at the Capitol would finally target errors and abuse in the state's Child Care Assistance Program, five years after state watchdogs first warned that a severe lack of oversight meant the department was catching fraud in the $400 million program solely "by chance."
"Help is on the way," declared an optimistic DHS Commissioner Lucinda Jesson in an interview Friday.
The request to lawmakers from the DHS commissioner for $318,000 in initial funding for six investigators and analysts plus two licensors is included in a broader omnibus Health and Human Services bill that has not yet come up for votes on the House and Senate floor.
DHS estimates that in the first four years the fraud unit would recover at least $2 million from its targeted efforts to audit about seven percent of child care providers, more than enough for the unit to pay for itself and to help more families enroll in the program.
An ongoing 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS investigation into Welfare Waste, begun in 2010, showed the Child Care Assistance Program overpaid $7.2 million between 2006 to 2010, and $2.1 million in 2010 alone.
As of December 2012, 6,281 families were on the waiting list for state-funded child care, qualified but unable to enter the program because DHS ran out of money.
"We need to do a better job detecting and pursuing fraud when it happens," said Jesson, an appointee of DFL Gov. Mark Dayton. "So I'm very hopeful that the Legislature will see the merit in this unit."
While there appeared to be bipartisan sentiment toward supporting such an effort among lawmakers surveyed by 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS, the reality of a $627 million budget shortfall means every expenditure - and especially requests for new money - will be scrutinized closely at the Capitol.
"Every dollar is going to be fought for, but stopping fraud and abuse is something that I think the public expects," said Rep. Tara Mack, the lead Republican on the House Health and Human Services Policy committee.
"My intention is to work very closely across the aisle on this issue in order to address some of the unaccountability we're seeing in this program currently," Rep. Mack said Friday.
The fraud unit's chief author in the Senate, Sen. Tony Lourey (DFL-Kerrick), promised to ensure DHS's request would be taken "very, very seriously," because vigorous oversight "is long overdue."
"It's a wise investment," he said. "Make it a much more proactive unit, that wouldn't just stumble upon fraud, but go out and look for it."
A 2011 report by the Office of the Legislative Auditor found DHS oversight of the program was woefully inadequate, a message it has sent for the past four years.
When asked in a 2011 interview how DHS was equipped at the time to catch errors, fraud, and abuse, deputy Legislative Auditor Cecile Ferkul answered bluntly: "By chance."

The inventors of most of the cocktails we quaff have been long since forgotten. Given the pleasure we glean from the mixtures themselves, I've always taken my own small delight in finding out just a bit about the human progenitors of our refreshments.
With hot, muggy weather around the corner, it is naturally fitting to explore the Rickey, a classic summertime cooler that consists of gin (usually), fresh lime juice and seltzer on the rocks in a highball glass. Every year as the mercury rises, some journalist gives it a customary nod. No wonder; it's good at what it does, and it comes with a back story, courtesy of Albert Crocket, author of 1931's Old Waldorf Bar Days. "Colonel Joe" Rickey had one in a Washington, D.C., bar and called for another, whereupon the bartender named the drink for him. But what of the bar? What of the bartender? What of Colonel Joseph Rickey? There is more to this story.
Joe Rickey may be best remembered for his role in the popularization of the Rickey, but he walked with the great men of his era. He was a popular figure, first in Missouri politics and later in the nation's capital from the 1870s into the new century. A devout Democrat, he successfully campaigned for President Grover Cleveland in 1884 and 1892. He was appointed to the Military Organization Committee of Cleveland's inauguration. He less successfully stumped for Williams Jennings Bryan in the 1896 election that saw Republican William McKinley elected president. He was said to have lost substantial money betting Republicans on Bryan's victory. The stakes? Drinks, of course.
He was a regular at a marble palace frequented by political operatives that habitués called Shoo's, one building up from the National Theatre in Washington. Shoomaker's was the enterprise of William Shoomaker, who had begun his professional life as a Civil War sutler. The saloon had been thriving there since before the Mexican-American War. All evidence suggests that Rickey himself first conceived his signature drink in the typically hot 1883 summer campaign season. The bartender, George Williamson, prepared it to the colonel's instructions, and the first one was actually a rye Rickey made with Shoomaker's own house-label whiskey. Though Colonel Joe remained faithful to his original concoction, in short order gin would eclipse the rye (and inspire a whole family of drinks called Rickeys).
As the Washington Post extolled during the end of the 1894 Democratic convention:
"The convention adjourned along about half past 2 o'clock this morning and from that time until long after daybreak there was great joy everywhere. The favorite joy producers were Rickeys of various makes and of various degrees of strength. There were gin Rickeys and whisky Rickeys and brandy Rickeys and every other kind of Rickey known to mortal man."
Shoomaker's, which Joe Rickey bought in the 1890s, served its last Rickey in 1916, when it was razed and replaced by the Munsey office building and quickly occupied by the National Research Council and the Finnish Embassy, among others. Colonel Joe died by suicide in 1903 at 61. He drank a solution of carbolic acid.
Though both the man and the venue are long gone, the drink rises like a thirsty apparition every year about this time to remind us of the humanity behind our libations.

Another thing I love about retreats is I always love seeing what people are working on. Lots of pretty star blocks from the paper-piecing class. (Look at those perfect points!)
I love being inspired by the gorgeous things people create. This was a little swap gift made by April. The details were amazing!
I was asked to teach a class about organizing and using your scraps. (I love that topic. I finally started a Pin Board to keep track of my favorite Scraps projects.) I then demo'ed a strings-foundation-pieced quilt block (similar to this one). You can see mine in the picture at the top of this post. It's not finished. I'm trying to decide whether to just add borders, or make more blocks. We'll see… But loved seeing what the students in the class did with their scraps!

The title of the humorous story is "The Sun got stuck"
"I don't suppose you could give us a tow, could you, sister?"
Luna's eyebrows shot up, "How? With what? The sun's 400 times larger than the moon, and even if I could give you a tow, it'd take me 8 light minutes to get there! And besides, I may have lowered it and put a supercharger in, but I'd never have enough grunt to tow it! Sorry, sis, but you're on your own. You can fix it, can't you?"
I tried the usual (Wiktionary, Merriam-Webster, The Free, Dictionary.com) and none of the definitions (foot soldier, sound, menial worker, fish, dessert), seem to match this kind of usage. What does grunt in this context mean?

Edward Bess Ultra Slick Lipsticks: Blush Allure, Rose Demure and Demi Buff
I was delighted when 3 new shades were released as the majority of the existing shades seemed more warm toned and the new ones are more neutral/cool.
Picture L-R:Rose Demure, Blush Allure, Demi Buff
Although now in an updated square packaging the lipstick formula/texture/scent seems to be the same, although I feel they set a bit more quickly than before.
Rose Demure is a pink with a slight mauve tone (you can see my picture has really picked up the mauve in it). Blush Allure is a light nude pink and Demi Buff is a pinky brown.
The finish is more of a satin, rather than matte or shimmer. I find Rose Demure and Blush Allure are cool toned whereas Demi Buff is neutral. On swatching the lipsticks on my wrist I would say the colours come out lighter when applied on lips.
Swatches L-R:Rose Demure, Blush Allure, Demi Buff
From what I have tried of Edward Bess so far I think its a elegant brand with a well thought out range, offering classic easy to wear everyday colours.
I bought these from Zuneta (they cost £24 each) .

I must say that these do look infinately wearable shades, I got EB Tender Love and was deeply disappointed. Colour great, texture great, packaging great, smell dire a sort of burnt rubbery sugary mess, so I really haven't worn it for that reason. What do these smell like? Thanks for the post and pics. Jan xReplyDelete
Hi Jan,ReplyDelete
These smell the same, strong fig scent, I like it to be honest and I don't normally like scents in lipsticks at all. I can see that it wouldn't be to a lot of peoples taste though, now think of all the money you have saved by not liking the scent ;)
Just got Rose Demure and Blush Allure on Friday. Although I was a bit concerned that they appeared lighter than my natural lip colour when worn, I quite like the effect. Is the closest I can get to a nude lip without looking like a corpse! Jennifer xReplyDelete
I thought these new formulations were supposed to have the fig scent but it was going to be less noticeable. Do you still find it as strong? I admit that I like the scent too but I know it's not to everyone's taste. I believe you can de-scent a lipstick (is that a word) by leaving the lid off for a couple of days. I think Karla Sugar once posted about it.ReplyDelete
Anyway, on to the post. These lipsticks look lovely. I'm tempted but I think they're similar to some I have bought recently. I'm sure I'll crack eventually. Starting with Rose Demure....
Demi buff looks right up my street. Ive been buying a lot of pinky brown nudes as they suit my tone incredibly well. Ive never tried Edward Bess lippies but I love Zuneta for stocking new and innovative brands.ReplyDelete
Never tried the line before but I love the lipsticks you have.ReplyDelete
Never tried EB before but I've been lusting the brand ever since I saw pictures from the Bloggers/PR event last year! These colours are gorgeous looking...especially Rose Demure! I'm going to have to be strong and wait before payday before I start going shopping crazy on Zuneta! :)ReplyDelete
Arggghh! These are so gorgeous but I know I won't be able to get past the scent! I love, love, love the look of blush allure- such a pretty pinky/nude. I'm trying to be good (please don't laugh) anyway! x jeanieReplyDelete
I have Demi buff and really like it, I do find the formula to be ever so slightly "powdery" compared to the previous one.. do you know what I mean? It still wears great and I have been pairing it with the Paul and Joe lip lacquer (another favorite) in #7 which is an exact match! I also wear it with the gorgeous Aragonite glossimer from Chanel's spring collection. Hope you enjoy these new acquisitions!ReplyDelete
Helloooooo! Happy (very belated) New Year!!!ReplyDelete
Goodness, I leave you alone for barely five minutes and what happens? You have gone and bought a ton of absolutely lovely things and made me very jealous :-))))
Ah, the new goodies by Mr Bess. They are so your colours...
Lots of London love
Nina x
Hi Jennifer,ReplyDelete
Yes I find the nude lip look quite difficult on my skintone, I think Edward got these shades just right :)
Hi Jane,
Well I have done a smell test now and to me they smell the same really, perhaps thats just me though :)Yes, rose demure would probably be the one for you, Blush Allure too light for you I think and I'm sure you have dupes for Demi Buff..oh the money I save you ;P
Hi Imo,
I always go for pinky browns as well. Your right, Zuneta stock really interesting brands, I am sure I probably order from them at least once a month, I'll be interested to see what else they have to offer us this year :)
Hi FunnyFacebeauty,
They are very much can't go wrong shades.
Hi Ms. Wedgie,
You may just have to give them a try ;) this months pay day seems to be taking forever, I have a horrible feeling once I get it alot will be going on more makeup that I don't really need!
Hello Jeanie,
It is quite a strong scent, of course you could try Jane's lid leaving off suggestion x
Hi Lakshmi,
I wonder when you say more powdery if that fits in with me saying they set quicker, there is a very slight difference in the lipsticks, although I think its only me and you so far who has said this? I'm hoping to check out Chanel Spring this week, I'll have a look at that Aragonite gloss x
Hello Nina,
Happy new year to you as well, I was wondering where my Nina was!
Yes, the crazy makeup spending continues, my eye is on the NARS and Armani spring next, of course after Chanel... x
I love this trio but I do prefer the old packaging.ReplyDelete
Hi Ammie,ReplyDelete
Yes, I prefer the old style one as well, a bit more sleek!

For anyone who comes from Alsace, the northeastern region of France, kugelhopf, as plain as it is, is a dream food. Part bread, part cake, kugelhopf is made very much like brioche. In fact, it is almost a brioche, but not a rich one. You won't miss the bit of butter that's left out of the dough, though, because once it's baked, the cake is soaked with melted butter and sprinkled with sugar, so it develops a fine crust. While, in a pinch, you could make a kugelhopf in a Bundt pan, it's a treat to make it in the pan designed especially for it. Sometimes called a Turk's head or "turban," a kugelhopf pan is fairly slender and has graceful curves (which do, in fact, resemble the wrap of a turban). If you want to be completely authentic, you can look for a heavy pottery kugelhopf mold from Alsace — you might even find one with painted flowers. Or you can use a silicone turban pan, as I do. It gives me particular pleasure to bake a centuries-old recipe in something so modern. Like brioche, this dough is best made using a heavy-duty mixer; however, you can succeed in mixing it in a large bowl with a wooden spoon.–Dorie Greenspan

IngredientsEmail Grocery List
- For the cake
- For the soak
Bring a little water to a boil in a small saucepan and toss in the raisins. Turn off the heat and let steep for 2 minutes, then drain the raisins and pat them dry.
Put the yeast and milk in the bowl of a stand mixer and, using a wooden spoon, stir until the yeast is dissolved. Add the flour and salt and stir just to moisten the flour—don't be concerned, the mixture will be shaggy and there may be dry patches.
In a small bowl, beat the eggs and yolk together lightly with a fork. Fit the mixer with the dough hook, if you have one, and, working on low speed, pour in the beaten eggs, mixing until they are incorporated. Add the sugar, increase the mixer speed to medium-high, and beat until the dough comes together and smoothes out a little, about 5 minutes. Reduce the mixer speed to medium and add the butter in 4 to 6 additions, squeezing each piece to soften it before adding it and beating until each one is almost fully incorporated before adding the next.
When the butter is blended in, the dough will be very soft. Increase the mixer speed to medium-high and beat, scraping down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed, until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl and climbs up the hook, about 10 minutes. Remove the bowl from the mixer and stir in the raisins. Scrape the dough into a clean bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm place until nearly doubled in size, about 1 1/2 hours. (The length of time will depend on the warmth of your room.)
Deflate the dough by lifting it up around the edges and letting it fall back with a slap into the bowl. Cover the bowl again and put it in the refrigerator. Slap the dough down in the bowl every 30 minutes until it stops rising, about 2 hours. Then, if you have the time, let the dough rest in the refrigerator overnight. (The dough can be wrapped tightly and refrigerated for up to 2 days.)
Generously butter a 9-inch kugelhopf mold (8-to-9-cup capacity) and put the chilled dough in the pan. Cover the pan lightly with buttered parchment or wax paper and let the dough rise in a warm place until it comes almost to the top of the mold, 2 to 3 hours.
When the dough has almost fully risen, center a rack in the oven and preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Remove the paper and bake the kugelhopf for 10 minutes. Cover the pan loosely with a foil tent and bake for another 15 to 20 minutes, or until the kugelhopf is golden brown and has risen to the top — or, more likely, over the top — of the pan. Meanwhile, line a baking sheet with foil and place a rack over it. Remove the kugelhopf from the oven and unmold it on the rack.
Melt the butter and gently brush the hot cake with it, allowing the butter to soak into the cake. Sprinkle the hot cake lightly with sugar and cool it to room temperature.
Right before serving, dust the kugelhopf with confectioners' sugar.
If you are not going to serve the cake as soon as it cools, because it stales quickly, wrap it in plastic without sprinkling it with confectioners' sugar. Then sprinkle it with the sugar before serving. Luckily, stale kugelhopf is delicious cut into thick slices, toasted, and spread with butter and marmalade.

Games Workshop Warhammer Fantasy (NOT Warhammer 40K - so far anyway) may be about to utterly discard their lore going back more than three decades. All those lawsuits, all those threats, all that ruthless suppression of competitors and fanfic, just to end by saying "never mind".
As many have observed, all that leaves them with is some startup replacement, no social media, no advertising skills, crimped retail supplies, an alienated base with obsolete armies and a miniatures line that is about 200 - 500% overpriced when compared with equal quality competitors. It is possible to buy single pack metal roleplaying figures for at the same price as Games Workshop's rank and file plastics. I predict a short, feeble death with a whimper, not with a bang to GW's coming WHFB 9th edition. I'm looking at Kings of War to fill the niche.

As we take this time between Memorial Day and Independence Day to remember "one nation indivisible" and ponder how to salvage that ideal, issues of the day interrupt. Viewing them through the lens of "we the people" might be enlightening.
Medicaid funding in Mississippi is a big issue.
But the wrong focus. Not Medicaid funding but how Mississippi's working poor can access health care is the real issue, one that lies in the area the Preamble to the Constitution calls "the general Welfare." As long as we allow leaders to couch this simply as a money issue, the powers that seek to divide us will win out.
Statistics show much of our population to be obese, generally unhealthy, and poor. These statistics apply to large numbers of our working population. Research shows an unhealthy workforce is unproductive, unattractive to industry, and harmful to the state's economy, a truth public policy in this state has long recognized.
Since 1948 the Workers Compensation Law has required coverage for workers hurt on the job. Since the early 1970s Mississippi has provided Medicaid coverage for the very poor. And for decades state and local government and schools have provided health insurance for public employees and teachers.
On the other hand, only half of workers in the private sector employer provided health insurance, down from 60 percent in 2000. Most of those without coverage work in low paying jobs.
When uninsured low-wage workers get sick and go to emergency rooms for care, they don't get free service like the destitute. They get charged the full rate. For some, hospitals do work out long-term payouts, but many have their wages garnished or resort to bankruptcy.
This broken process provides a huge incentive for low wage workers to quit and stay home. Many can be better off with no income, instead qualifying for benefits such as rent subsidies, food stamps, and Medicaid. That's opposite what our public policy should encourage.
Expanding Medicaid to cover the working poor, as Obamacare proposes, is not the only solution. Mitt Romney built a universal coverage plan for Massachusetts. California, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Illinois, Oregon, Tennessee, Wisconsin, Maine, Vermont, and Pennsylvania pursued other options prior to Obamacare.
It was encouraging to see Gov. Phil Bryant move off his money focus recently and begin to look at non-Medicaid options. At the same time, it was encouraging to see Democrat leaders propose an Arkansas-type Medicaid expansion.
Identifying and researching other options is a first step towards finding common ground. There's time to do more. Both sides should agree to hold a special session to reauthorize Medicaid for one year, then work hard together to find a solution to the real issue. That's the kind of enlightened leadership our founders envisioned.

RDA and OCLC
RDA (Resource Description and Access) is the new cataloging standard that will replace AACR2.
Developed by the Joint Steering Committee for the Development of RDA, this online, web-based tool was released in July 2010. Publishers are the American Library Association, the Canadian Library Association and the Chartered Institute of Library and Information Professionals (CILIP).
OCLC has participated actively in the process to produce RDA through our ex-officio membership in the ALA Committee on Cataloging: Description and Access and through our representation on the MARC Advisory Committee. We also have staff participating in the Joint Steering Committee's two RDA Examples Groups and the RDA/MARC Working Group, which is preparing proposals for MARC 21 format change in support of RDA. In addition, OCLC is represented in the ALA RDA Implementation Task Force, which is planning for implementation activities in the U.S. OCLC staff have participated in program sessions sponsored by the Task Force. OCLC staff have also joined staff from the three U.S. national libraries in discussions and planning for the testing/evaluation period which ran from September through December 2010. Cataloging staff in OCLC's Metadata Contract Services participated in the testing.
Over the past several years, OCLC has also gained experience in creating FRBRized work sets based on bibliographic data in existing records and in creating similar relationships based on related ISBNs and ISSNs. There is also ongoing work using ONIX-based data created by publishers as the basis for records usable in library catalogs. All of this activity touches on aspects of RDA.
OCLC staff are also participants in cataloging discussions within the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA) and are active in the creation and maintenance of cataloging standards within that organization, including the Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR), the Functional Requirements for Authority Data (FRAD), the International Standard Bibliographic Description (ISBD), and the UNIMARC Formats.
OCLC has completed work to implement the MARC 21 changes approved by MARBI in recent meetings (including its meetings at ALA Annual in July 2009 and January 2010). These changes have been implemented in the context of OCLC's existing cataloging, resource sharing and discovery platforms. See Technical Bulletin 258 for more details.
In addition, Connexion now includes links to the RDA Toolkit. RDA Toolkit subscribers can save their authorization and password in Connexion. When displaying a bibliographic or authority record, selecting the RDA Toolkit link will result in the RDA Toolkit opening in a browser window, logging you onto the system, and displaying the RDA content associated with the specific MARC field. Note that a subscription to the RDA Toolkit is required to use this feature. This functionality is available in the Windows-based Connexion client version 2.30 released in April 2011 and in the Web-based Connexion browser interface as of 15 May 2011.
RDA offers the potential to change significantly how bibliographic data is created and used. These future possibilities that RDA online tool could facilitate will be considered as part of the development of next-generation systems.

Social Media Policies for BusinessBy Nick Wreden Print
Employees need guidelines to make social media safe and effective.
It's a lesson that all employees have to learn: What may be OK around the water cooler is not acceptable when an electronic business tool is used. Len Devanna, director of Web strategy at EMC, remembers once having to phone an employee who had tweeted an inconsequential gripe about an internal tracking tool, thinking the comment was just confined to his dozen followers. Devanna informed him that a public channel like Twitter was not the best place for personal frustrations, and the employee apologized. It was the only time in three years an issue with social media usage had emerged, and no confidential information was involved.
Social media tools such as blogs, micro-blogs like Twitter, video and others represent an emerging collaborative environment for customers and employee engagement. But they also mean that companies must expand the conversation they have been having with employees about keeping important information private. While an email goes out to a person, a blog comment can go out to the world. As a result, the repercussions can be great, whether the act was intentional or not.
The 2009 Electronic Business Communication Policies & Procedures survey from American Management Association (AMA) and The ePolicy Institute underscores the issues involved. According to the survey of employees at 586 companies, 14% of employees have admitted emailing confidential information. Another 14% said that outsiders have seen "eyes-only" corporate email. Worse, 6% have used e-mail to transmit confidential customer data. Similarly, a 2009 Proofpoint study of 220 email decision-makers at large companies found that 34% reported that a loss of sensitive information had impacted business. The same study found that 13% had investigated troublesome Twitter usage, and 15% had disciplined employees for unauthorized posting of video on YouTube and similar sites.
Usually, the problem is less about nefarious intent than a lack of knowledge about the ramifications of social media usage. For example, the AMA/ePolicy Institute electronic business survey indicated that 24% don't know if their organization has a written policy concerning instant messaging, 27% don't know if the organization has a policy concerning personal tweets during business hours and 30% don't know if they adhere to regulatory requirements concerning email.
Violations, intentional or not, can lead to legal problems or damaged reputations. The best solution, argues Nancy Flynn, executive director of the ePolicy Institute, is a clearly written, firmly communicated policy concerning all electronic communications. Such policies should ideally be developed with the input of IT, HR and legal personnel. "You can't expect an uneducated employee to be a compliant employee," she says. Such education should consist of training, distribution of policy copies and a signed acknowledgement of receipt by employees. Compliance can be enforced through such technologies as URL blocks, monitoring tools or review by authorized employees.
But, for the time being, some companies are opting for the velvet glove rather than the steel fist. Blogs and tweets are part of daily life at EMC, and an intrinsic element of customer communications. "We prefer to call them social media guidelines, not policies," Devanna says. "Policy sounds a bit legalistic, and we want to encourage etiquette based on integrity, responsibility and civility. My fear is that if you stipulate every detail, you'll stifle the benefits of interaction."
The guidelines were mainly developed via employee crowdsourcing, and employees learn the rules of the road on the EMC intranet before going outside. "Our communities are self-policing, and employees help others understand what is acceptable and what isn't," he says.
At Xerox, social media guidelines developed by a cross-functional team were unveiled last fall via a company Webcast. The guidelines are part of a "social media hub" that includes information on registration for Twitter handles, Facebook pages and external video. On the registration form, the employee outlines the business purpose, acknowledges understanding of the guidelines and confirms managerial support. After review, the employee gets a confirmation email with a reminder of best practices. The hub also has links to Xerox's social media channels, including Twitter, YouTube and a "Blog Talk Radio Station."
"Our goal is to enable social media usage, not restrict it. During registration, we work to to spot any red flags. We use personal consultations and coaching to make sure employees have a proper understanding of the social media tool," says Celeste Simmons, social program marketing manager at Xerox.
David Ryan, director of human resources at Mel-O-Cream Donuts in Springfield, Ill., points out that social media partly represents a new face on an old problem: "25 years ago, we worried about Suzie talking to friends all day." Officially, the Mel-O-Cream does not have an electronic business policy. "We let everyone know what's acceptable through our handbook, orientation, meetings and corporate newsletter," he says. "We subscribe to the view that all of our employees are responsible and want to do what's best for the company." If there is an issue, the employee's manager will "gently" address it.
But that policy may change. "It's uncharted territory," says Ryan. "At this point I don't need a policy, but in the future who knows?"
