The future is setting sail at the Milan Expo 2015 with MSC Cruises. State-of-the-art technology, together with a love for the sea and beautiful ships, are the key elements at the MSC Cruises' stand where visitors can exclusively try out a fully immersive virtual reality experience.
A fantastic and ultra-realistic system for observing life on board the ships in our fleet and for a preview of MSC Meraviglia, our newest ship that is under construction.
We are easy to find in piazza 139/box H24, a few metres from the Decumano – the main street of stands at the Expo 2015. Take the time to put on the special Oculus Gear VR headset from Samsung, sit in an armchair or get on a Segway. Welcome! The mascot for your exclusive immersive virtual reality experience is the friendly Doremì. Your free tour may now begin.
It will only take a few seconds for you to understand that 3D and 4D are already a thing of the past. This immersive journey is a 360-degree multi-sensory experience. You are not just a spectator, but an explorer of the ship's every detail. Your senses will be delighted with the aroma of bread, chocolate and basil in the buffet area. Watch out for splashing water by the pools! Be amazed by the breathtaking panoramas seen from the highest decks of the ship. In the theatre you can decide whether to get up on stage or sit and applaud the show from the front row. The cabin doors are also open for you to take a peek at their elegant style. In the next few months, more corners of the ship will be unveiled through immersive virtual reality technology. Even when you take off the glasses, your mind will remain convinced that you have experienced, if only for a few minutes, a fantastic holiday with MSC Cruises.
This exclusive, fully immersive virtual reality technology meets growing enthusiasm every day from our visitors. "Within the next few months", announces Andrea Guanci, Italian Marketing Director for MSC Cruises, "this technology will be available in travel agencies to allow prospective customers to enjoy a preview of the cruise that they intend to book. We are always on the cutting-edge of innovation in customer services."
MSC Cruises, the official cruise carrier of the Milan Expo 2015 gives travellers who land at La Spezia or Genoa before 31 October the opportunity to buy tickets for Milan Expo 2015 on board and enables them to take part in an unmissable shore excursion through the exhibition pavilions. The Zero Pavilion is dedicated to the history of food, while the Future Food District reveals how we will feed ourselves in the future; there's the Biodiversity Park and an area especially for children, while the clusters are dedicated to the main food supply chains or to individual participating nations.

Moral of the story: don't scare the crap out of the Chairman of the Board.
Much better video here; damn -- they stayed at 50 feet the whole 8000 foot length of the runway! Some nice pics here. Note in the background you can see a couple of Dreamlifter large cargo freighters parked -- they're chop-job 747s, grotesquely enlarged, used to ferry parts for the 787 around the world. Possibly the ugliest things flying.

Okay, in reading about the Dreamlifter, I encountered this paragraph:ReplyDelete
During flight testing in November, 2006, a Cessna 172 being used for a training flight encountered the 747 LCF's wake turbulence. The small aircraft was accidentally inverted and lost 1,000 feet (300 m) of altitude before the instructor pilot was able to regain control at just 150 feet (46 m).[3]
Whoever that pilot is, I want him at the stick whenever I'm a plane.

Drake and Josh are two guys with different personalities. REALLY different. Going to the same school is about the only thing they have in common. Well, going to the same school AND sharing a room and the same family. Yikes. How will buttoned-up, play-by-the-rules Josh and too-cool-for-school, party-dude Drake ever make it through high school sharing the same four walls? Hilariously, of course! Tune in and see for yourself!

My ISP blocks port 25.
What's the best way to get around this?
Use port 587
See: http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=54776
So the only thing I have to do is
and restart Postfix?
How should I test it?
if you are not using a firewall than that is all you will need to do on the server.
Make sure that you setup the client to use the SMTP port 587 instead of port 25
Port 587 is open, checked by http://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/
Postfix restarted.
Test with (squirrel) webmail but email is not delivered yet?
It looks like mail is sent but it's not arrived in the mailbox?
Are there any things I can check, config or test?
Changed Squirrelmail
to use smtp port 587 but still messages don't arrive to destination.
Did you configure an email account in ISPConfig?
What's in /etc/postfix/master.cf? What's the output of
netstat -tap
netstat -tap
I'm trying to use smtp2go and critsend as relay smtp service.
The servers queue is very full and a lot of mail get's send. But the biggest problem that a lot of mails get bounced (and the services disable my account)
What can I do about this?
do this
i guess its a smtp /smtpd problema. you may relay only inside? try first send a local mail.
in case you use postfix, can you post the config from
/etc/postfix/main.cnf ?
1 ## Try send a mail via command line.. this will show up error messages if any
sh# telnet <yourlocaldomain> <port>
EHLO <yourlocaldomain>
mail from: [email protected]<yourlocaldomain>
rcpto to: <destinationmail>
Subject: test1
tata desting
2 #### post some log files
tail -f /var/log/mail.err
I can send mail from command line, all mails arrive. My port 25 isn't blocked anymore but the issue with sending mail still is there.
When I send mail to [email protected] I have a forward in ispconfig it should forward it to my gmail [email protected]
It looks like it has been send but doesn't arrive in my mail box. When I send mail to [email protected] from command line it arrives in my mail box.
No error when I send mail to [email protected] in /var/log/mail.err

Yahoo Video relaunches, and hints at video on Flickr
Yahoo Video has soft-launched a new website, in a move which speaks to both the potential of Yahoo and the company's utter disorganization. It has all the necessaries in the age of YouTube and Hulu: clips created by amateurs and professionals, playlists, and "exclusive" content. The latter, if true, is refreshing: Thanks to syndication deals which allow the endless regurgitation of video from site to site, most of the Hollywood-born clips on the Web are numbingly similar. The site also has a tantalizing promise: Video on Flickr.
At the bottom of the Yahoo Video page, there's a section titled "More With Video." Flickr cofounder Stewart Butterfield promised Flickr, the popular photo-sharing site, would add video "soon" last summer. But his promise was empty: No engineering work had started at the time, and Butterfield himself would soon leave Flickr to go on paternity leave. (We hear he's coming back to Yahoo in another role, but not returning to Flickr.)
Still, video's long been seen as a natural extension for Flickr. The same digital cameras which take still photos almost all now capture video too, as do cameraphones. Why force users to go to two websites for the output of one device?
Which raises the question: Why did Yahoo Video relaunch with user-generated content? The rumor I'd heard was that Yahoo Video would become a showcase, much like NBC and News Corp.'s Hulu.com, for professional content, while the amateur stuff moved to Flickr. The obvious conclusion: Flickr's video features aren't finished, while Yahoo Video's were ready to go.
One would think proper leadership would have sorted this out. But of the managers in Yahoo's advanced-development division, one, Bradley Horowitz, just left for Google; another, Salim Ismail, was thankfully laid off; and the last, Chad Dickerson, had just been installed in his job before he got handed the management of what's left. It's no wonder that even when Yahoo manages to launch a promising new site, mismanagement haunts it.

How to Use the Boundary Element Method in Acoustics Modeling
Mads Herring Jensen March 19, 2018
The boundary element method (BEM) is included in the Acoustics Module as a physics interface. This interface, available as of version 5.3a of the COMSOL Multiphysics® software, can be seamlessly combined with interfaces based on the finite element method (FEM) to model, for example, acoustic-structure interaction problems. This functionality expands the range of problems that can be solved with the Acoustics Module. Here, we look into the BEM functionality, examples, and BEM-specific postprocessing.Read More
Mads Herring Jensen July 25, 2017
Detailed modeling of the complex interaction of flow and acoustics is achieved in the COMSOL Multiphysics® software and add-on Acoustics Module using the linearized Navier-Stokes interfaces. With the release of version 5.3, the capabilities were further extended with the addition of a new stabilization scheme. This allows robust simulations of systems with acoustic properties that are modified by or depend on a turbulent background flow; e.g., automotive exhaust systems. Here, we introduce important modeling concepts and present application examples.Read More
Mads Herring Jensen January 26, 2017
Modeling acoustically large problems requires a memory-efficient approach like the discontinuous Galerkin method. To make solving these types of problems easier, we've added a new physics interface based on this method to the Acoustics Module: the Convected Wave Equation, Time Explicit interface. It can include a stationary background flow and is suited for modeling linear ultrasound applications. Today, we will explore how to use this interface with the example of an ultrasound flow meter.Read More
Mads Herring Jensen January 21, 2016
COMSOL Multiphysics version 5.2 introduced a number of new features and functionality, including an acoustics-specific plot type called the Octave Band plot. This plot type provides you with an easy and flexible way to represent any frequency response, transfer function, sensitivity curve, transmission loss, or insertion loss — all of which are essential plots in many acoustics applications. Let's learn a bit more about the Octave Band plot, while highlighting its various options and settings.Read More

This past July, I had the pleasure of attending the 22nd International Congress on Sound and Vibration. In addition to running the COMSOL vendor booth with my Italian colleague Gabriele, I was also a presenter at the event. My presentation was based on a paper I wrote with Henrik Bruus and Jonas Karlsen that focuses on how to determine acoustic radiation forces including thermoviscous effects. Let's explore acoustophoretic effects in greater detail and the research findings highlighted in my presentation.Read More
Mads Herring Jensen February 25, 2015
When inside a room — a conference room, concert hall, or even a car — everyone has an opinion of when the "acoustics" are good or bad. In room acoustics, we want to study this notion of sound quality in a quantitative way. In short, room acoustics is concerned with assessing the acoustics of enclosed spaces. The Acoustics Module of COMSOL Multiphysics has several tools to simulate the acoustics of rooms and other confined spaces. I will present those here.Read More
Mads Herring Jensen February 28, 2014
When modeling acoustics phenomena, particularly of devices with small geometric dimensions, there are many complex factors to consider. The Thermoviscous Acoustics interface offers a simple and accurate way to set up and solve your acoustics model for factors such as acoustic pressure, velocity, and temperature variation. Here, we will demonstrate how to model your thermoviscous acoustics problems in COMSOL Multiphysics and provide some tips and resources for doing so.Read More
Mads Herring Jensen February 27, 2014
When sound propagates in structures and geometries with small dimensions, the sound waves become attenuated because of thermal and viscous losses. More specifically, the losses occur in the acoustic thermal and viscous boundary layers near the walls. This known phenomenon needs to be considered to evaluate how these losses affect thermoviscous acoustics systems in order to build accurate models and match experimental measurements.Read More

I recently had the pleasure of preparing a small contribution to the 166th Meeting of the Acoustical Society of America (Fall 2013) together with Wade Conklin and Jordan Schultz from Knowles Electronics. Wade presented our paper entitled "Characterization of a microelectromechanical microphone using the finite element method". The work consisted of implementing a virtual prototype of a Knowles MEMS microphone (the SPU0409LE5H microphone, see picture below) using COMSOL Multiphysics.Read More

Last month, the Acoustical Society of America (ASA) and the Canadian Acoustical Association (CAA) held the 21st joint meeting of the International Congress on Acoustics (ICA) in Montreal, Canada. This joint congress is one of the major acoustics conferences of 2013, featuring a range of parallel sessions that covered most topics in acoustics. These included, among other things, psycho acoustics, underwater acoustics, transducer modeling, acoustics of musical instruments, nonlinear acoustics, and many more. This year's acoustics conference also featured a […]Read More

Mufflers are often located in exhaust systems or on heat, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, where their key functionality is to dampen the noise that is emitted from the system. A correct description of the acoustic damping (absorption and attenuation) processes in the muffler is important when designing and modeling these systems.Read More

Thank you very much. The sprites and background are from different old Sokoban games.The game levels are mainly the ones by A.K.K. Informatika available at http://www.sourcecode.se/sokoban/levels .The C code is 100% from scratch.
I'm a bit late to the party, but this is really cool! Sokoban is one of my favorite puzzle games.
You obviously never played Portal I really like puzzle games a lot, brain exercise is good
For me it depends. I am more into exploring stuff and action games, but I'm fine with some puzzles as long as level 1 isn't impossible to beat (eg like in Donut Quest II default level pack)

Involving local communities is indispensible to ensure that conservation action brings efficient and long-lasting results. IUCN's Vineet Soni uses such a community-based approach in his work on the conservation of an important medicinal plant.
Successful conservation work requires a fully comprehensive approach, combining modern science, government policies and the involvement of local communities, whose lives depend on biodiversity. This last element plays a particularly important role at every stage of a conservation effort and it has been the core of a project led by IUCN's biologist Vineet Soni on the conservation of Commiphora wighii in India.
Commiphora wighii, also known as the 'Guggul Tree' or 'Guggul Plant', is a small, slow-growing tree found in the arid regions of Gujarat and Rajasthan. Its resin has been a key component in the ancient Indian Ayurvedic system of medicine as an effective treatment for bone fractures, arthritis, inflammation and obesity, and is now widely used in modern medicine for heart problems.
Unfortunately, Guggul has become scarce due to over-harvesting by the pharmaceutical industry and by local people for religious purposes, lack of cultivation for medicinal use and the loss of the plant's habitat to farming and urbanization.
Enlisting the help of tribespeople, Vineet leads efforts to secure the species in its natural habitat through large scale propagation and creation of a network of protected areas. He and a group of friends have founded the Indian Council for Plant Conservation to conserve threatened plant species of Rajasthan through community involvement, running workshops to help make local people aware of the importance and conservation of plants.
Vineet Soni is a member of IUCN's Commission on Education and Communication and Species Survival Commission (SSC) and received a grant from SSC's Sir Peter Scott Fund for Conservation
Action to support his work.

My name is Jean Maurice Touboul. I am an online technology and marketing expert who helps clients in California and beyond maximize their "footprint" on the web to increase traffic, deliver the best possible customer service and maximize their revenues and yield.
However, contrary to current trend, I do not prescribe to the marketing flavor of the moment and claim to solve everything with one marketing solution like social media, e-mail, search or any other solution. Rather my philosophy is to find and mix the right blend of technology, marketing and analytics to address the needs of my clients specific needs. After all, the web is not made up of only techies, social networkers or people who search. Instead, it is a blend of people who need all these features in order to get to what they want in the shortest possible time. More often than not, there are too many opinions, too much contradiction and it makes the web confusing.
As a result people want to associate with like-minded individuals who tell them what they want. With this in mind, I make it my business to analyze my clients' business model, understand the trends in their space, what works or what doesn't in their vertical, the way people think, and determine the best possible strategy to grow traffic, insure that each user becomes a lifetime customer and fan and extend brand recognition. I do this thanks to a deep understanding of the web as well as an understanding of my clients' business and their customers' need. With this knowledge, we can then better define a strategy, identify opportunities, eliminate weaknesses, and put in place a realistic plan of action that taps into the vast array of technology, marketing and analytic resources to insure success.
If you want to know more about what I can offer, send me an email or call me and I will give you a free consultation on where you are and where you'd like to be. It's a simple review that will tell you how well you are doing. Call me at 415-670-9397 or click here to e-mail me.

If you're bummed that Hostess has officially closed it's doors, dry your Twinkie and Cupcake-loving eye: I have an unbelievably adorable, super delicious fudgy chocolate cupcake recipe for you. And it looks just like your beloved Hostess Cupcakes. In fact, some even refer to these as "Fauxstess Cupcakes."
Even if you could care less about cupcakes, you should try this recipe. It's divine. Unless of course you're not interested in sampling a yummy, rich, chocolatey cupcake with marshmallow filling. Then by all means, skip this.
Fake Hostess Cupcake Recipe adapted from Annie's Eats
For the cupcakes:
- 1 box of your favorite chocolate cake (you've got a lot of other work to do here)
For the filling and frosting swirl:
- 2 cups marshmallow creme
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 3/4 cup confectioners' sugar, sifted
- Pinch of salt
- 1/2 tsp. cream or milk
For the chocolate glaze:
- 5 oz. bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons heavy cream
1. Make cupcakes according to directions. Allow to cool in the pan about 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
For the filling:
1. Combine the marshmallow creme and butter in a mixing bowl and beat on medium-high speed until smooth.
2. Blend in the confectioners' sugar and salt and whip until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 1-2 minutes more. Transfer the majority of the filling mixture to a pastry bag fitted with a medium round tip, reserving 1/2 cup in the mixing bowl.
3. Blend in the cream to the reserved filling mixture to make it smooth for piping the swirl on top of the cupcake. Transfer this to another pastry bag fitted with a small round tip. Chill until ready to use.
4. Fill the cupcakes by inserting the pastry tip directly into the center of each cupcake and squeezing in a dollop of the marshmallow mixture. If excess filling comes out of the top, just scrape it off with a knife so the top of the cupcake is essentially smooth.
For the glaze:
1. Make the chocolate glaze by placing the chopped chocolate in a small bowl. Bring the cream to a simmer in a small saucepan or the microwave. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and let stand 1-2 minutes.
2. Whisk together until a smooth ganache forms. Let cool briefly, about 5 minutes.
3. Take the cupcakes one at a time and invert them, dipping the top into the chocolate glaze. Transfer them to a wire rack or baking sheet and let the glaze set. (You can speed this process up by chilling in the refrigerator.)
4. Once the glaze is set, use the reserved portion of marshmallow frosting to pipe a uniform swirl across the top of each cupcake. Store in an airtight container until ready to serve.

So this might be a little old hat for some of you DIYers out there, but just in case you're a little reserved on taking the plunge into basic upholstering (and you have a barstool or kitchen chair that's nagging at you), here's a recent project that we finished for the nursery that involves just that.
Our everyday average (but super comfy) glider received a makeover a few months ago, but the ottoman was slow to follow. It's finally a matching pair!
Basic Upholstery 101
Materials: Staple gun, fabric, scissors, batting or foam (this is optional depending on the current condition of your cushion – I didn't need extra batting/foam for this project but you could add quilt batting over the top of your foam for a little extra comfiness, or replace the foam altogether. You'll repeat step 1 with the batting first if you choose to add.)
{1.} When measuring and cutting out your fabric for your new cushion, be sure to account for the outside edge of the ottoman, stool, chair, etc that you're reupholstering. The top of my ottoman is only 20″x12″, but when I add the sides and extra hem space I'm cutting my fabric to 30″x22″ to allow for 5″ extra on each side (2″ for the lip of the ottoman and 3″ for the underside where I'll use the staple gun).
If your fabric involves a pattern, make sure that the pattern is aligned with your edges so that you don't end up with a crooked design.
{2.} Begin stapling at the center of each edge, pulling taut (but not too tight to avoid puckering) as you go. Now you should have a staple in the center on each of the horizontal and vertical edges. Flip ottoman over and examine the final look. If you've made any errors, now is the time to pull those simple four staples up (or just one edge) and start over.
{3.} There are two basic ways to achieve clean corners: the first is a fold (similar to wrapping a package) and the second is a gather. For a gathered look, I recommend stapling in two parts. First, gather your fabric on the right side of the corner and staple gather in the center. Next, gather the left side and staple again (this second staple should slightly overlap the first right-side gather so that the corner looks like one large gather). Flip ottoman over and observe your corner. If it looks good to you, finish the next three.
The second gather is folded slightly over the first to create a clean corner that's not going anywhere:
{4.} Now we want to fill in staples between the corners and center staple on each edge. You really want to make sure that your fabric is secure all the way around and always check for puckering before applying the next staple.
{5.} Your ottoman should be looking good! The last step is cutting any excess fabric from the edges.
Yay for a matching ottoman! For the other half of this project (updating a standard nursery glider), check out this link.

At ActionAid, we are tackling the root causes of hunger and supporting the poorest and most marginalised people to ensure they have rights to land and enough food to eat.
Land, water and forests are the key to providing food, decent livelihoods and a sustainable future for everybody. Yet environmental pressures and increasing competition for these resources means that rural communities the world over are being forced off their land.
ActionAid stands up for rural women and smallholder farmers by helping them hold governments, international organisations and corporations to account.
Furthermore, ActionAid works with landless women and men, including smallholder farmers, to help them secure control over their land so they can feed themselves, their families and their communities. We also help farmers withstand climate change across the world by promoting new, sustainable farming methods.
For example, in Uganda where women make up 80 per cent of the rural workforce producing food, but only 7 per cent of them own land, we are promoting innovative sustainable agriculture practices and supporting 13,000 women to have more secure access, control over and ownership of land.
Our land rights work focuses on four key areas:
Sustainable agriculture
ActionAid's ground-breaking Climate Resilient Sustainable Agriculture (CRSA) framework addresses food security and climate adaptation, and we work with women's groups, farmers and fisher folk on the ground in over 40 countries to ensure they have better access to the resources and skills they need to earn a living.
Smallholder and women farmers
ActionAid empowers smallholder farmers, particularly women. We are also advocating for increased and improved public financing for agriculture, especially for women smallholder farmers, so as to close the gender gap.
Women's rights to land
Many millions of people, women in particular, need secure access to land, resources and supportive policies from their governments. Such support, primarily focused on sustainable small-scale farming, can renew ecosystems while significantly reducing poverty and hunger. ActionAid is also campaigning to stop land grabs and securing women's rights to land.
Food crisis

Hopping Up A Warn 8274 Jeep WinchPosted in How To: Electrical on August 1, 2006
For generations the 8,000-pound-rated Warn winch model 8274 has been thebenchmark of power, speed, and reliability. With specs like a 52 feet per minute no-load line speed, a 2.5hp series-wound motor, and a reliable automatic disc brake, the 8274 was indeed the king of the hill. Introduced in 1974, the efficient spur-gear design in an upright package isn't always simple to integrate onto most newer vehicles' bumpers, but it still remains the epitome of a real self-recovery winch. However, it was eclipsed on Warn's 50th anniversary with the introduction of the 8274-50, which is a serious upgrade to this premier winch. The heart of the upgrade is the new series-wound motor with 4.6 hp-nearly double the previous generation's power. This makes the 150 feet of 51/416 wire rope reel in at an incredible no-load line speed of 73.4 feet per minute, taking up the slack in a snap during any winching exercise.
Other than the 110-pound weight, the biggest problem with the 8274-50 winch is the price, which has a list price of $1,616.07 but a lower street price. Not cheap, but the best never is. Being budget-beater wheelers like we are, we had an old 8274 on a Jeep with a wasted motor. After thousands of pulls while mounted on numerous Jeeps, the motor simply fried after being borrowed and abused by an acquaintance. The winch cost us 200 bucks 20 years ago when it was well used, and had been a stalwart friend ever since. We've gone through three cables, but never a motor, so we decided an upgrade was in order. We simply ordered the new motor for the 8274-50, and after $303.52 and about 15 minutes of wrenching, we nearly doubled our winch's horsepower. And for those of you comparing specs, the old motor was rated on the winch to pull 8,000 pounds with a 3 feet per minute line speed, while pulling 435 amps. The new hot-rod version pulls that same 8,000 pounds at 6.1 fpm, and sucks only 450 amps of juice. We figure for the price, it's a fair trade. Check out how easy it is to upgrade your old friend.
Working on a Warn 8274 is as simple as it gets. To replace the old motor with the new more powerful 8274-50 motor, first unhook the winch from the battery. Mark and remove the power leads and ground from the winch motor, and loosen the giant hose clamps around the motor holding the solenoid pack on. Finally, remove the four bolts on the clutch knob cover.
The old clutch gear is indexed into the old motor with a big key, while the new motor has a splined arrangement. Carefully slip the clutch fork and gear off the motor shaft and out of the housing. If you remove the motor first, the gear will drop into the winch, necessitating further disassembly.

His Introduction to Computer Science course was one of the first two developed specifically for Udacity, along with an AI for robotics class taught by CEO Sebastian Thrun, drawing on examples from his work on Google's self-driving car.
A faculty member at the University of Virginia, Evans returned to teaching there in January following a year-long sabbatical to work with the Udacity team. He said the university supported him in his enthusiasm for the project, but it does not have a relationship with Udacity the way it does with Coursera.
Those who complete Evans' introductory programming course may not be quite ready for robotics engineering, but they will have built their own simple search engine in the Python programming language, which they learned along the way. For example, string manipulation functions are taught in the context of creating a web crawler that finds all the links on a web page, and the introduction to arrays is tied to the problems of organizing and sorting data. Udacity provides a code editor and interpreter, built into the Web experience, which allows students to write and test their own code and submit it for automated grading.
[ Students aren't the only ones who stand to benefit from MOOCs. Read MOOC-utopia: Who Really Wins? ]
The project-based approach taken by many Udacity courses is driven by interesting problems for students to solve, Evans said, something that's often lacking in a traditional academic setting where you have more of a captive audience. He and the course designers from Udacity started with the understanding that they would need to work hard to keep students engaged, and they rarely present more than five minutes of video lecture before offering a quiz or programming exercise.
Online video sites like YouTube indulge our short attention spans with limitless choices, until "anything more than a minute starts to seem like forever," Evans said. Online courses exist in that same environment. "It's a very different medium from sitting in a traditional lecture hall."
Thrun is the bigger computing star on many levels, and the concept for Udacity came from his previous experience teaching a free online Introduction to Artificial Intelligence course with Google research director Peter Norvig. That offering enrolled about 160,000 students in 2011 and is still available today on Udacity, complete with the original (slightly less polished) videos. But Evans' CS101 course is the most popular offering on Udacity, partly because it's more accessible to beginners. You'll see his smiling face at the top of the home page and the top of the course listings page.
Evans also developed a Udacity course in cryptography, which is one of his specialties, but part of what makes his basic computer science course compelling is the enthusiasm he brings to it. "For me, it's really the most exciting computer science class," Evans said.
Computer science is also probably more suited to this form of online instruction than a subject like poetry, according to Evans, because with programming it's possible to present students with "an open-ended creative problem that you can grade automatically." For example, students who are challenged to define a function that will produce a given output given a specified input, and they can each come up with their own solutions, which may be substantially different. As long as they all give their function the same name, the course software can still grade their work by passing it a series pre-defined test cases.
Evans is proud of the stories Udacity is accumulating of MOOC students who have gone on to get programming jobs they never would have landed otherwise -- including a retail clerk and a high school math teacher.
The former retail clerk, Neil Sutcliffe, had been working for a Wal-Mart subsidiary in the U.K. He doubled his salary without the need for a bachelor's degree because what he learned in the class -- combined with Evans' emphasis on the idea that part of computer science is learning how to use new tools -- equipped him to further self-study in C# and ASP.NET and start creating games, which he used to sell his skills to a new employer. "I've always been interested in programming, but never found a course that taught you by doing, and never found that next step," he wrote in a Udacity blog post.
Udacity has also seen its share of setbacks, such as the recent announcement that San Jose State University suspended a program to offer credit-bearing courses in partnership with Udacity because of low pass rates. However, Thrun argues the results were partly a factor of serving remedial students who either weren't currently enrolled or had previously flunked the on-campus version of the course.
Although he wasn't involved in that experience, Evans said he hopes it won't be the end of efforts to find a scalable way of offering entry-level and remedial courses online. That's a worthwhile goal that could have a huge impact, he said, but it's not an easy one. "It's not surprising to me that it wasn't a complete success the first time it was tried."

Simple Tips To Help You Get The Weight Off
It does not matter how much weight you need to lose. The fundamentals remain the same - you need to use up more calories than you consume. Between diet and exercise, regular weight loss can be easily achieved and here are some helpful ideas to get you started in the right direction. That is the scales moving downwards.
Don't take too much time in between meals. Instead, eat more frequently, but don't eat more than 3/4 full per meal. Doing this can help you to avoid overeating, and control your portions. Also, eating more frequently can lead to healthier eating habits. For example, chewing thoroughly instead of swallowing it down, will help you to actually enjoy your meals.
Steaming foods that you would ordinarily bake or fry is a great way to decrease the fat content in your food. Steaming food will cook it without adding butter or any other unhealthy supplement. Choose fresh foods with lots of flavor,that way steaming or grilling can be a great way to cook your meals without adding fat.
A great way to lose weight is to prepare your meals the night before. When you prepare your meals the night before, you won't have to rush to get to work or wherever you're going and you'll always guarantee yourself to have something healthy to eat when you're hungry.
A helpful tip to lose weight is to learn how to cook your own meals. If you don't know how to cook, you're more likely to resort to eating fast food and you're not likely to get proper nutrition. Learning to cook basic meals for yourself is very important.
It's a well known fact that drinking water can help you shed pounds. Have you also heard that drinking chilled water causes your metabolic rate to increase? When you drink a glass of ice water, your body is forced to raise your body's temperature, which also raises your metabolism.
Having a workout partner can help remaining committed on your weight-loss plan easier. A person who shares similar weight loss goals with exercise and diet can be a very strong motivational tool. Together, you will find it easier to stick with the program during times when you might otherwise give up.
A good way to help you lose weight is to avoid getting coffee and related drinks at cafes. Most of us aren't aware of it, but these drinks tend to be loaded with sugar and fat. Try brewing your own coffee instead. You'll have control over what goes into it.
When trying to achieve weight loss, it is important that you do not focus too much on the number on the scale. Instead, you should attempt to achieve a healthy body. It can sound contradictory, but just focusing on the health to start with can keep your thoughts positive. By over-focusing on weight loss, it is easy to become discouraged with the number on the scale, which will cause you to slide right back to your old habits. It's very common for the average person to fall off diets because they tried to lose weight in ways that are far too restrictive. Making gradual changes will help you lose weight.
Try to cook at home as much as possible. Food from a restaurant often contains a lot of fat and salt. Also, restaurant portions are huge, which might tempt you to eat more than you really need. When you cook your own food, you can control exactly what goes into your meal, and you can control your portions.
If setting a goal for yourself doesn't seem to be working, why not try joining a program like Weight Watchers? Not only do they have organized plans to keep you on track to losing weight, but you get the support of the other members to give you encouragement to keep going.
Slow and steady weight loss is better and more sustainable than fad diets and a rapid decrease in numbers. A long-term change in attitude towards food and exercise is what is required for the pounds to come off and stay off. But remember that it can be done, and you will reach your goals with a little perseverance.

Author Notes: One of my all time favorite food memories is my first experience eating truffles in Italy. My husband and I were in Verona and we stumbled upon a tiny restaurant hidden in an alley behind the ruins of an ancient coliseum. We peeked in, it looked great and we made reservations for later. That night after watching with great anticipation as they ever so slowly poured the red wine from one decanter to another, swirling and speaking enthusiastically in Italian; they finally presented me with a beautiful plate of Fettuccini; warm and melting with parmesan. The waiter ceremoniously brought over the small white truffle and began shaving (very liberally I might add) the tiny tuber over my pasta. The smell was unlike anything I have ever smelled; the taste sent waves of pleasure sensation through my entire body. While I have never been able to duplicate the deep, rich, heady, almost indescribable taste of white truffle here (even when ordered in restaurants -- very expensively I might add and never worth it) -- it just doesn't have the same intensity. So...this is where the truffle oil comes in. It's not the same as an actual white truffle, but the cost is much less and it evokes a nice memory of that first experience in Italy. I have tried quite a few and "Etruria" (bought at the Wine House here in L.A. and I'm sure available online) is pretty good. I've substituted risotto for the fettucini and the process of cooking the white sliced mushrooms over medium high heat caramelizes them and brings out a deep depth of flavor. I hope that you enjoy this dish as much as I enjoyed making it and eating it! —coffeefoodwrite
Serves: 4
6-8 large white mushrooms – sliced (about 4 cups)
½ cup dry white wine
½ small onion – minced
6 cups chicken stock or broth
4 tablespoons olive oil
1 ½ cups Arborio rice
2 tablespoons butter
¼ teaspoon salt
4-5 grinds fresh ground pepper
1 cup fresh grated parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons white truffle oil
additional salt and pepper to taste
- Heat stock to just below boiling. Keep on heat at a simmer.
- Put 2 tablespoons olive oil in a heavy bottomed saucepan, add onions and sauté over medium heat until translucent. Remove onions from pan; add additional 2 tablespoons olive oil and 2 tablespoons butter, turn heat up to medium high and place sliced mushrooms, ¼ teaspoon salt and a 4-5 grinds black pepper in pan. Cook on medium high heat, letting mushrooms sear on each side in as even a layer as possible, stirring as little as possible until a golden mahogany in color. (You want to cook the mushrooms over the highest heat possible without burning them, until dark but not burned – caramelized.)
- Turn heat down a bit, add rice and sauté until entirely coated (about one minute). Add white wine and sauté and stir until wine is completely absorbed. Add enough hot broth to cover rice and stir and sauté until wine is absorbed. Continue to add hot broth ½ cup at a time, stirring each time until broth is completely absorbed (keep rice mixture at a very low, slow boil). Continue this ½ cup adding of broth and stirring constantly technique until all broth is absorbed and rice is "al dente" (about 16-18 mins.)
- Turn heat down to low and add freshly grated parmesan, a little at a time, stirring constantly. Mixture will be thick and gooey. Adjust for salt and pepper. Add 2 tablespoons white truffle oil, stir again and serve immediately.

Many informal surveys have asked whether people like to give talks or posters, and talks are clear winner. I wanted to know, though, if the proportions for listening to a presentation were any different. So back in May, I started a poll on this (now removed). These are the results (click to enlarge):
Because this is a poster blog, you might think that posters would be favoured more here than in other polls, but no! Even the readers of this blog tend to prefer giving talks by almost a 2 to 1 margin. I don't know why, but I sort of expected posters might do better when people were on the receiving end of the information, because of the chance to talk to the presenter personally, ask more questions, have more interaction.
Nope. The proportion of people favouring posters actually dropped from about a third to about a quarter.
It's sad that this form of communication is so common in academia when most people would rather give a talk. Perhaps this is more evidence that conference organizers need to be bolder and more daring in structuring their meetings, and not just following the format that other conferences do.

Kia launched its Soul model in 2009 as a fun and exciting improvement to the industry's economical class of vehicles. The hatchback wagon offers the automobile industry a creative approach to a somewhat uninteresting lineup of budget-friendly cars.
Kia expanded its lineup with the addition of the Soul hatchback wagon for the 2010 model year. The South Korean automaker builds the Soul on the Rio platform with a unique body and full customization options. With the introduction of the Soul in 2009, Kia appealed to a broader market that valued economical prices but secretly longed for a dash of panache.
The quirky styling and competitive pricing of the Kia Soul makes it a hit among budget-conscious buyers who desire a dash of unique style. Everything about the Kia Soul screams unique, right down to its four trim levels: base, +, !, and Sport.
The introductory vehicle comes in 11 colors and sports quirky names like Alien and Dune. The price speaks to many car buyers, as well as enthusiasts, desiring a little speed with the Soul Sport model, which accelerates from zero to 60 mph in 8.8 seconds.
In 2011, Kia added notable upgrades. The 2012 Kia Soul contains a more powerful engine, massive styling updates, advanced technology, and a new six-speed transmission.
Kia makes the economy car more desirable with the Soul model. The value for the car is impressive, and its whimsical design appeals to buyers looking to express their uniqueness with their car. Many economical cars offer low prices, but they seem to avoid excitement. Kia shifts this stigma with the Soul.
The Kia Soul's boxy design is ideal for carrying large items, even though it only offers moderate cargo space at best. The fuel economy tests below average for a car of its size and performance.
The model also receives an overall score of four out of five stars in government crash tests. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety awards the Kia Soul a rating of ""Good,"" its highest accolade, for its performance in frontal offset, side-impact, and roof-strength tests.
The success of the Kia Soul continues in 2012 as Kia makes some notable improvements to enhance the model. The exterior styling displays an upgrade, and the interior boasts new features such as a telescoping wheel, optional heated seats, and a navigation system. Mechanical upgrades top off the improvements with the addition of a more powerful direct-injection 1.6-liter engine and 22 more horsepower for the 2.0-liter, four-cylinder engine. Additional performance features included new six-speed manual and automatic transmissions.
The 2012 Kia Soul is a practical, yet stylish vehicle with a long list of standard features. The model comes in three trim levels: base, +, and !. The base hatchback includes a 138 horsepower, 1.6-liter, four-cylinder engine; 15-inch steel wheels; air-conditioning; a 60/40-split folding rear seat; a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel; a four-speaker sound system with satellite radio, auxiliary audio jack, and iPod/USB audio interface. Buyers can opt for the automatic transmission, which comes with keyless entry, rear privacy glass, and Bluetooth connectivity, among other options.
The Soul + features heated mirrors, storage bins, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and interior metal-like trim. With the Audio upgrade, additions include automatic headlights, a rearview camera, an Infinity sound system, HD radio, an Uvo interface, and tricolor speaker lights.
The Soul ! includes the standard features of the lower trims with 18-inch alloy wheels, fog lights, LED daytime running lights, a sunroof, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, upholstery in a houndstooth pattern, and the Audio Package. Additional options include leather upholstery, heated seats, a navigation system, and automatic climate control.
The Soul + and Soul ! enjoy performance upgrades with the 164 hp, 2.0-liter, four-cylinder engine. The Soul ! offers an automatic transmission only.
Kia introduced the whimsical trim levels with the 2010 models; they include base, +, !, and Sport models. The car presents a long list of standard equipment with the ability to customize style and performance. The Soul Sport added on a sport-tuned suspension, two-tone red-black interior, and exterior trim details.
The 2011 Kia Soul adds rear disc brakes to replace the 2010 rear drums, which helps to smooth the ride. Some other minor additions improve the exterior and interior as well.
For the 2012 model year, Kia eliminated the Sport trim and enhanced the car's performance with a more powerful engine, a new six-speed transmission, and minor changes to the suspension. Revised steering also contributes to the car's performance. In addition, the vehicle boasts numerous style upgrades to the interior and exterior.
Though longevity is a concern, rave reviews and increased sales keep the Kia Soul in forward motion. With an impressive list of standard features, competitive pricing, and unique characteristics, the Kia Soul is here to stay.
2019 Kia Soul
Compact, Wagon
2017 Kia Soul
2016 Kia Soul
2015 Kia Soul
2014 Kia Soul
2013 Kia Soul
Compact, Hatchback
2012 Kia Soul
A few changes have been made to the 2012 Kia Soul. The major change is the increased engine power and fuel efficiency. The 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine now puts out 135 horsepower, an 11 percent increase from last year, and the 2.0-liter engine produces 160-horsepower, a 13 percent increase from last year. Technologies have been added such as gasoline direct injection and a new Infinity sound system. The exterior has been refreshed for the 2012 model year.
2011 Kia Soul
Minor changes come with the 2011 Soul: the exterior door handles are now the grip-type, plus on ! and sport models, heated side mirrors are available. Inside, rear-seat headrest height adjustment and illuminated window switches are standard, blue and green have been added to the speaker lights, and new options include automatic climate control, leather seats, cargo cover, and pushbutton start.

UK's first peregrine young of the year hatch on church nest platfrom
In Bath the pair of peregrines nesting on the Hawk and Owl Trust's well established nesting platform on the spire of St John's RC Church hatched two chicks on Easter Saturday. A third hatched after the long weekend, but a fourth egg failed to hatch. The three chcks have been ringed (click here for more details).
The peregrine pair, which returned to the platform for the sixth successive year, surprised everyone by laying a clutch of eggs by 18 March. It is thought they may have been the earliest to breed in Britain this year.
Members of the public watching activity live from street level in Bath usually have great views of the peregrines flying in and out of the nest site – in South Parade, not far from Bath Spa railway station. This is especially true after the young hatch and require increasingly frequent deliveries of prey.
From time to time, Trust volunteers will also be setting up telescopes to help people view the peregrines.
The peregrine, which is the logo of the Hawk and Owl Trust, is the largest falcon resident in the UK. Numbers are increasing after being devastated by the effects of organochlorine pesticide poisoning in the 1960s. There are now thought to be 1500 pairs in the UK and although their natural habitat is cliff ledges, over the last decade several have started to breed on human structures in our cities.
At another Hawk and Ow Trust peregrine platform, on Norwich Cathedral spire, the female laid for the first time on Easter Sunday. For more details click here.

Ever since Gosho Aoyama introduced Detective Conan in 1994, the series has gone on to become one of the longest-running and internationally successful manga and anime series in modern times. With more than a decade of presence in almost every form of media, it has made its mark in anime and manga history.
And as Detective Conan continues to make history, it seems right that a tribute be made to the ongoing series. As such, we have this song tribute.

Among the several new assignments for 2012 is Corey Ragsdale's first full-season managerial post with the Hickory Crawdads and Kenny Holmberg managing a stateside affiliate for the first time.
Mikulik, a Weimer, Texas native, joins the Texas organization after spending the previous 13 seasons with the Colorado Rockies, all as the manager of the Low-A Asheville Tourists. In his 13-year run as Asheville manager, Mikulik compiled the most wins of any manager in Asheville history and was named the South Atlantic League Manager of the Year in 2007. Mikulik was Houston's ninth round selection in the 1984 June Draft and played for 12 years in the Astros organization, rising to Triple-A Tuscon.
Mintz will mentor the pitchers at High-A Myrtle Beach in 2013 after spending the previous 11 seasons in the Minnesota Twins organization, including the last four with High-A Ft. Myers. Mintz pitched professionally for 12 seasons with Los Angeles, Boston, San Francisco, San Diego, Pittsburgh, and Anaheim after he was originally drafted as a catcher by the Dodgers in the 1990 June Draft. Rose will join the coaching ranks for the first time following a standout career in Japan with the Yokohoma BayStars and Chiba Lotte Marines in the Japanese Central League from 1993-2000 and 2003. Rose led the BayStars to a league championship in 1998 and batted .339 with 37 home runs and 153 RBI in 1999, setting a Central League record with 192 hits that was broken six years later by current Milwaukee outfielder Norichika Aoki. Orta had spent seven seasons in the Cincinnati organization, including each of the last three as a hitting coach in the Arizona League. A two-time All-Star, Orta batted .278 with 130 home runs and 745 RBI in a 16-year big league career with Chicago-AL, Cleveland, Los Angeles, Toronto, and Kansas City. Orta had spent the previous nine seasons in the Houston organization, with three of those campaigns as a manager at Martinsville (Rookie).
The organization will feature one new manager in 2013, as Kenny Holmberg takes the helm of the Arizona League Rangers after spending last season on the Myrtle Beach staff. Holmberg previously managed the Dominican Summer League Rangers in 2010 and 2011, guiding the club to winning records in both campaigns. Corey Ragsdale, who led the AZL Rangers to a league title in 2012, will pilot the Hickory Crawdads this season. In his managerial debut, Ragsdale led the Rangers to the first league championship by a Texas affiliate since 2008.

In addition to the affiliate staffs, many of the club's roving instructors return in 2013. Jayce Tingler enters his seventh season in the Texas organization and second in the role of field coordinator. Mark Connor and Harry Spilman each return as special assistants, while Danny Clark begins his eighth season in the Texas system and fifth as the organization's pitching coordinator. Casey Candaele begins his third campaign as an infield/baserunning instructor. Hector Ortiz will instruct the organization's catchers after leading the AZL Rangers to a division title in 2012. Brian Dayett will serve as a Special Assignment Coach for a second straight season. New addition Joe Mikulik rounds out the staff, instructing the organization's outfield prospects.
Bobby Jones returns to Round Rock in 2013 for his 26th season as a coach or manager in the Texas organization. Pitching coach Brad Holman will make the jump to Round Rock from Myrtle Beach, where he led the Pelicans to the Carolina League's lowest team ERA in each of the last two seasons. The former major leaguer will enter his fifth season as a pitching coach in the organization. University of Texas All-American Scott Coolbaugh will mentor the Round Rock hitters, beginning his seventh season in the Texas organization. Former major leaguer Spike Owen will return for a second season on the Round Rock staff as an extra coach.
The entire Frisco staff remains intact from a Texas League Championship appearance a season ago. Former Ranger Steve Buechele returns for his fourth season as manager at Frisco (AA), after leading the club to the playoffs in each of his first three campaigns. Pitching coach Jeff Andrews returns for his fourth full season at Frisco. This year will mark his 28th season as a minor league instructor. Andrews also served as the major league pitching coach for the Pittsburgh Pirates in 2008. Former Ranger Jason Hart will be in his second season with the 'Riders after a two-year stint as Hickory's hitting coach.
Jason Wood returns for his third season as Myrtle Beach manager and fifth season overall in the Texas organization. Wood has guided the Pelicans to playoff appearances in each of his first two seasons at the helm, the only club in the Carolina League to reach the postseason in both 2011 and 2012. Wood's staff will feature a pair of new additions in pitching coach Steve Mintz and hitting coach Josue Perez. Mintz, who pitched professionally for 12 seasons, spent the previous 11 seasons with the Minnesota Twins organization, including the last four with High-A Ft. Myers. Perez will enter his eighth season overall in the Texas organization after spending last season with Hickory and the previous three campaigns with Spokane as a hitting instructor.
Corey Ragsdale has been elevated to his first full-season managing assignment in Hickory after guiding the Arizona League Rangers to a league championship in 2012. Justin Mashore will mentor the hitters at Hickory after serving as a hitting coach with the AZL Rangers last season. Ryan O'Malley jumps to Hickory from Spokane as he enters his fourth full season in the Texas organization. Humberto Miranda will be a part of the Hickory staff for the second straight season.
Former big leaguer Tim Hulett returns for his seventh season at the helm of the Spokane Indians, the longest tenured skipper in Indians history. Pitching coach Oscar Marin has been elevated to Spokane from the AZL Rangers for his third season overall in the Texas organization. Bobby Rose makes his professional coaching debut as the hitting coach for the Indians. Vinny Lopez enters his second season on the Spokane coaching staff.
Kenny Holmberg will return to a managerial role in 2013 after spending last season on the Myrtle Beach staff. Holmberg spent the previous two seasons at the helm of the organization's Dominican Summer League entry, guiding the Rangers to a winning campaign in each season. Former Ranger southpaw Brian Shouse returns to the staff as a pitching coach in his second season with the organization. Jose Jaimes joins the staff as a pitching coach after four seasons as a pitching coach with the DSL Rangers. Donzell McDonald and Jorge Orta will split hitting coach duties at the complex. McDonald returns for a third season, while Orta joins the Rangers from the Cincinnati Reds organization.
The organization also announced the staff for its operations in the Dominican Republic, many of whom return from last year. Missouri native Ryley Westman takes the helm of the Rangers for a second straight season, after finishing tied for the fifth-most wins in the Dominican Summer League a season ago.

Some stuff I came across when setting up a 1.2rc:
- during the boot from the CD I saw something with "oldmouse" and "file not found" coming up
- when I use the universal installer and what to install to an internal harddisk I get my single disk (sda) to choose. After I created the partition I see the same selection dialog again, but it has sda list twice (already happened with 1.1)
- also in the universal installer after I selected to install it to sda it says, that the partition has an ext4 filesystem, although it was formated with ext2
- "lock" (as seen on the Desktop) does nothing for me in VirtualBox 3.2.2 and on my laptop (same for 1.1)

DaveS, If you never use Flsynclient then you have the old system. It doesn't do anything unless you run it.

This is a minor fix to xwin that will allow Xvesa to run at 1366x768. This is needed for the Eee 1101HA that has the Intel GMA500. The GMA500 has no decent Xorg driver so Xvesa support is definitely required.

This is driving me crazy. I HAVE to run Flsynclient inorder to activate touchpad tapping. Changing settings in xorg.conf has ZERO effect on my touchpad behavior. I need to highlight, copy, and paste blocks of data around in spreadsheets, but when I highlight said blocks, they randomly paste themselves into the document, sometimes several times over. Sometimes, I will click on Rox to open it, and three or four windows open at once. NOTHING I do seems to have any effect. What am I missing?

Post subject: Quirky 1.2rc feedback
Subject description: quirky 1.2 final
I downloaded quirky 1.2 final about 10 a.m. EDT and have been tying it out for hours. I compiled vlc 1.06 and made vlc the default player in pupradio.I was able to get 3 tv stations and 4 radio stations.
There is an application named tunapie that I have used in lucid puppy and kdpup, it gives shoutcast listings of radio and tv stations, well over 100, and most are in Europe although some are in the U.S. and the bitrate ranges from around 100-500 for tv and some radio stations have a bitrate of 32 so not too hard on bandwidth.I've tried to install tunapie in quirky 120 but I've had no luck,you can also make you're favourite player the default in tunapie preferences, I find smplayer works well in kdpup.
Anyhow, I don't have the knowhow but "tunapie-2.1.17.tar.gz" available at sourceforge.net would make a great pet for Quirky 1.2 I'd say
I see that CPU frequency scaling works automatically in this new quirky, I couldn't get it to work at all in 1.2rc.
I've been messing with vlc all day but the new quirky seems very solid and works well.

But I've been active here now 24/7 since Christmas 2009 and I get the feeling that Puppy Linux is more like a hobby project by Barry and supported and individually developed also by others that love what Barry suggested.
I'm use Puppy above 1.5 years. Between PuppyLinux 3.0 and Developer Puppy 4.84 it is very preferable & robust OS for home and working...

Am I not right in that Barry does indicate on his blog that this is experimental project that we use on our own risk and not something he promise to have the status of a warranted software?
Of course. But various Puppy releases, include developers, and on long time about 1.5 years runs fine and present as some reasonable and usable OS for more PCs. Only personally Barry developing basic of this OS, who present on Puppy codes between 2.xx and 4.xx, is very valuable solutions and invaluable contribution to the FSF.

I don't criticise you but maybe, just maybe you take Puppy too seriously?
No! No! Puppy is seriously OS, very seriously!

Quirky's pmount doesn't correctly recognize windows UDF formatted CD/DVD disks : win's native burner prog burns them as UDF disks.
They are incorrectly recognised as "iso9660" and pmount won't mount them (red box error message)
"guess_fstype" correctly returns a FS as "udf"
using a console "mount /dev/sr0 /mnt/data" will mount the DVD-R, and contents are accessible (RO) without errors.
Tried "pudd" to copy an internal hd ntfs XP partition to an external USB-2 ntfs HD partition :
pudd automatically zero's the ntfs partition (for partition compression) then copies the data in very small blocks,
this takes really more than ages...
So I tried a console command : "dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/dev/sdb1 bs=100000" -> 47155497984 bytes (47 GB) copied, 5065,81 s, 9,3 MB/s
- real data size was 3.47 GB and the rest was zeros
adding the option "bs=100000" or more really speeded up things -> 1hr 24min compared to +-10hrs, the copied ntfs partition seems clean using gparted.
After rebooting win XP, it needed 2 reboots : 1st reboot did a very quick check of the filesystem, all OK (updated file descriptors)
and 2nd reboot did a HAL update as I changed the HD : diff model and slightly bigger partition size.
- dd uses physical RAM size available and going overboard on "bs" can result in a no freeram situation,
so maybe a check on FreeRam minus a bit might be worth it.
Synaptics touchpad has a unknown function for me :
ex: open tray volume, then use mouse click to open volume bar, use 1 finger on touchpad to put cursor in vol bar area
and without removing 1st finger, use 2nd finger (on same hand) to slide volume level up or down (limit ~ 50%)
- This reminds me of my kid's HP pavillon laptop with a scroll bar setup on either side of the touchpad.
If the 2 fingers touch, the cursor will jump outside of the volume bar area : static or pressure sensitive area
- it does work although rather jumpy
But using 2 fingers at the same time (on same hand) and separated a bit, the volume will go up or down without jumps and seems independant of the intial finger pressure.
If the comma against point could be fixed for non US local users, this would be great (desktop icon partition size "0,0GB" )
also noticed this only happens if the size isn't round (contains decimal values)
".mid" file extensions aren't recognised by the default media player, this worked in puppy 4.3x series and before.

Also noticed that CPU Temp warning will output multiple windows hidden under each other.
ex : if I let Quirky run for a while, there are multiple overTemp screens to cancel.
Also checked the same laptop under winXP and win7, what I noticed was that my fan has 2 speeds depending on the CPU temp,
Using "everest" (a win diag prog) I found out that the fan ran at slower speed before the CPU temp hit 72°C, and after that, it ran at full speed
so as to cool the CPU down.
Temp dropped from 72°C to 67°C (fan at full speed)

tried your gnoclone prog : internal XP ntfs HD partition to external usb XP ntfs partition
this test ntfs XP partition was a basic setup with 3 extra utility progs installed, no games or other extra soft installed
- extremly fast and sucessfull, 2min 20 sec for 3.47GB "file data" copied against ~1hr using pudd with bs=100000
maybe just add a quick reminder for win users : reboot 2 times after copying -> chkdsdk and HAL update (not exactely in that order, depends on partition size)
I haven't tried it on a vista partition, as they are somewhat different
if this catches on, could the binaries be translatable ?
also used the win "everest" beta limited version
I used the graphical stress test to push the already warm laptop (my laptop's CPU fan doesn't have the 3rd wire : rpm )
if the cpu load is high and it's Temp goes over 72°C, the fan goes to full speed.
what I noticed, Quirky outputs a warning when the CPU reaches 71°C (BIOS or ACPI limits if applicable)
the fan starts at low speed at ~68°C (sys-info faster update), and if the cpu load is low this is sufficient to cool the CPU down to 56°C
if the cpu load is high (benchmark) and it's Temp goes over 72°C, the fan goes to full speed.
What might be incorrectly misinterpreted is either the OverTemp pop-up or the dashboard's thermometer icon and it's associated colors.
Maybe reserve the OverTemp pop-up for extreme cpu Temp and a message to shutdown immediatley.

OSWEGO — "Game of Thrones" co-creator David Benioff, author of the 2012-13 Oswego Reading Initiative selection "City of Thieves," will make a free public appearance at 7 p.m. April 24, in SUNY Oswego's Campus Center arena.
Benioff is an American novelist, screenwriter and television producer who has written numerous screenplays, including "The Kite Runner" and "X-Men Origins: Wolverine."
He co-created HBO's "Game of Thrones" with D.B. Weiss and is as an executive producer for the series, recently renewed for seasons 3 and 4.
At the 2012 Primetime Emmy Awards, "Game of Thrones" picked up six Emmy Awards, including best costumes and best visual effects.
"We think that perhaps because of the multitude of dimensions that he (Benioff) brings to the table, it is not bad to make sure that not only the book and his intents in writing different aspects of it are covered, but also people have a chance to ask questions about the other things he has done or is involved in," said SUNY Oswego Associate Provost Rameen Mohammadi, who chairs the annual ORI program.
Tim Nekritz, the college's associate director of public affairs and director of web communication, will moderate the event, featuring an interview-style format with a question-and-answer session.
'Ingenious plot'
The ORI committee chose Benioff's novel, set in Russia during World War II, for a number of reasons, according to Mohammadi.
"I think, one, it does have a coming-of-age characteristic to it because the main character is a young Jewish boy who is in St. Petersburg at the time when the Germans had surrounded the city," Mohammadi said.
The book confronts issues such as food rationing and the difficulties of fighting for one's life on a daily basis, but also shows the main character trying to figure out who he is and how he learns about himself throughout the novel.
A New York Times Sunday book review said, "In fact, the novel tells a refreshingly traditional tale, driven by an often ingenious plot."
Parking for the arena event is free in Lot 18, the rear half of the lot south of Hart and Funnelle halls, and Lot 32, the large commuter lot south of Lot 18.
Benioff will make a second free public appearance in the Campus Center auditorium at 3 p.m. April 24, with a special invitation for students in the creative writing and cinema and screen studies programs.
Parking on campus for the daytime event is $1. See oswego.edu/administration/parking for information.
