I've PM'd you and emailed you.
I couldnt do it any sooner as the nameservers that handle my website had been hacked and new servers had to be rebuilt, this meant that whilst they were down, my website was down.
The firmware is supposed to be installed in the correct place when you compile the software, i couldnt find the firmware, though i could see a compressed file had been downloaded, im trying to get it to install on a different machine, but it wont play ball. This could be the machine though, as that machine wouldnt compile the source either.
There is no developers version of puppy as such, you simply download the devx file from the net, place it into your home directory and reboot, youve now got a development system. Rename or delete the devx file, reboot and its all gone again.
On my system the file is called devx_216.sfs , on yours it will be devx_217.sfs, mine is 80 MB in size, so not too large.
So no, it is not a seperate puppy at all, the whole idea works very well.
Ill explain briefly what you do, and if it comes to it , will write a very detailed explanation of what to do. One way or another your printer WILL work.
1) you download the source
2) you decompress the source
3) you change into the directory created by step 2
4) you type make
5) Step 4 creates some files, one of which is called getweb, you use this command to download the firmware for your printer by using the command like this (without the quotes) "./getweb 1020".
6) you type make install
7) you ***might*** have to type make install-hotplug
8)you restart cups.
9) your printer should now be available in cups, set it up and print.
My pet should cut out steps 1 to 6, lets see.

It seems that the pet doesnt copy all the neccessary files, for example the clp300 icm file shouild be at /usr/share/foo2qpdl/icm/samclp300-0.icm, but it isnt.
I need to get back to work now, but think i can fix this later.

I've just discovered the problem with the cretion of the pet,
The source needs to be edited, as it expects the user "lp" to exist, of course there is no user lp in puppy, so the user needs to be changed to root.
Ill alter the sourcecode, with some luck this pet will be ready today.

FuturePerfect, the file has now been uploaded, and this time i think it will work.
Please try the .pet and give me feedback.
The files size is 6.6 MB. Huge i know, but this supports a number of different printers, file size will be reduced if i remove support for different printers.

The following printers are supported.
HP Color LaserJet 2600n
HP Color LaserJet 1600
Konica Minolta magicolor 2530 DL
Konica Minolta magicolor 2490 MF
Konica Minolta magicolor 2480 MF

Minolta/QMS magicolor 2200 DL
Minolta Color PageWorks/Pro L
Samsung CLP-300
Samsung CLP-600
Samsung CLX-3160
Xerox Phaser 6110 and 6110MFP
HP LaserJet 1020
HP LaserJet 1018
HP LaserJet 1005
HP LaserJet 1000
19 printers in total.
The last four printers need a firmware file uploaded to them each time theyre powered up, if it's a usb printer, this should happen automatically in Puppy (if not try unplugging the printer, power it down, then up, plug it in).
I'd appreciate feedback on each printer, if you use this .pet, please let the forum know what works and what doesn't.
I can confirm that the Samsung CLP-300 works with this pet file under Puppy 2.17.
Once the pet is installed do this :-
You need CUPS installed (it is with puppy 2.17), and must type this command in an xterm
/etc/rc.d/rc.cups restart
Ideally exit to a prompt, then run the above command, then start X (xwin) again.
In a browser type http://localhost:631 then Manage Printers, Add Printer, and look for your printer and install it. Print a test page.
Good Luck FuturePerfect.

Subject description: Thanks
Great! I think it's absolutely correct that you put in all the printers in your .pet. Now more people can benefit from all your work.
Busy day today. I'll try it for my LaserJet 1020 this weekend and let you know the results.
Thanks again for all your help and encouragement.

Glad to be of help, this is what a Linux community is all about in my opinion, helping others.
Ill not be able to respond much, if at all, over the weekend, i'm self employed and will work about 30 hours each and every weekend.

Post subject: driver seems to install but printer won't print
Subject description: CUPS printing
Wow, quite a work schedule you have No problem for any delay in your reply to me on my HP 1020 configuration and thanks again.
I did the install and bottom line is:
1) driver seems to install (per foo2zjs web site screenshot)
2) printer won't print test page (but message says it was sent)
* Maybe the firmware is not automatically loaded by Puppy USB? How do I load that manually?
I have fully documented every step I did (some were somewhat different than yours, I believe because of CUPS in Puppy), and can discuss in detail, but think I did everything right.
I tested my USB HP 1020 connected both to my powered USB 1 hub and directly to my USB 1 port in the same old Dell laptop. I tried unplugging and turning off the printer with both as per your instructions, but none of this resulted in any printing.
Although old rumors said Linux foo2zjs didn't work well with a USB 1 port, using Windows 98 (on the same USB 1 Dell laptop above where I run Puppy from a CD), the 1020 printed fine.
When you really have some free time, let me know what you suggest I do next. Thanks once more.

Have you installed the printer to the correct printer port ?.
When you install it in CUPS, at the second page you have to choose the device from a drop down list, your USB ports should be listed, and next to one of them should be the name of your printer.
For example next to "USB Printer #1" you should see a detected printer, you should see something even without a driver loaded.
If you cannot see anything, then i'd guess that your system is not recognising anything connected to that port.
We might have to do a bit more digging to discover why.
One possibility that springs immediatley to mind is you might have an incompatible USB module loaded, sometimes one wont work but another will.
Can you report back what is seen in the drop down list ?.
Try a reboot with your printer connected and then see what happens.

Post subject: It works! Thank you!
Subject description: It works!
The foo2zjs driver works on a USB HP LaserJet 1020 on Puppy 2.17! It works on USB 1, either via a direct connect to my PC or via a powered USB 1 hub. And the firware required is automatically loaded.
I could have sworn I did this correctly yesterday, but I did a Modify Printer and found in the Device: drop-down list the following option:
USB Printer #1 (HP LaserJet 1020)
I then selected the driver as per screenshot on the foo2zjs web site:
HP LaserJet 1020 Foomatic/foo2zjs (recommended) (en)
Ah yes, I then selected the 1020 as my default printer (did I forget before?)
Everything works great! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!

Thats brilliant, great to see ive been some help.
As you fully documented your installation procedure do you think you could send that document as an attatchment, and ill post it on my website as a Readme for the 1020, it might help others to install their printers.
I've one final thought, with my printer i actually configured it twice, once for mono output, and once for colour (or color if your'e in the US).
Good luck printing.

Post subject: Instructions for LaserJet 1020 install on Puppy 2.17
Subject description: Long write-up but worth it :)
Sorry this information is so late, but there was a reason (see * below)
I know you are very busy on the weekends, so take your time in responding.
I've e-mailed you 2 type of installation instructions for installing HP LaserJet 1020 (should work for other similar printers in the foo2zjs-i486.pet you compiled and generated) for Puppy 2.11: Textual (only) and Graphical (with Textual included). Each type of instructions is in 3 formats.
The idea is that shorter Textual (only) instructions are provided for experienced users but Graphical (with Textual included) instructions are provided for inexperienced users.
I've found that most all users prefer graphical instructions, but that the larger files can cause download time frustration.
Please post at least the .pdf versions on your web site.
I recommend that people use the .pdf files because: though a .pdf file of the Graphical document is biggest, in Puppy 2.17's included ePDFView pdf reader and with my old 233 MHZ Pentium II, the .pdf file reads in MUCH quicker (10 secs) AND starts to print out MUCH quicker (starts in 30 secs)--MANY times quicker--than using the other attached files Abiword reads.
Though I had speed issues with Abiword on my old machine, I've included .abw (MUCH faster than .doc w Abiword) and .doc (FAST in Textmaker; should work in OpenOffice) versions here if people want files to read *&* write via Puppy 2.17 applications. (Note: .doc uses Arial 11; .abw uses DajaVu Sans 10, close to Arial 11 look/size when side margins changed from 1 to .8 in.).
NOTE: I am just a documenter here--I have NO expertise in CUPS and its drivers. Any technical problems need other Puppyians.
*Sorry for the instructions delay, but there was a reason:
*IMPORTANT*----I had failures with a 1020 printer dedicated to Puppy not printing when my new printer installation instructions were followed in several test runs with different virgin pup_save.3fs file copies. These failures occurred for seemingly random reasons. After MUCH LENGTHY testing I believe I have determined that, for some reason, the firmware needed for printing is not automatically loaded from Puppy as expected.
----------------------Finally found temporary WORKAROUND (IF AVAILABLE) albeit revolting to Linux purists--*YOU GOT A PERMANENT FIX?*
a-plug 1020 into a Windows machine it's installed on and print
(presumably, this properly loads the firmware needed to print)
b-NOT powering off the 1020, plug it into USB port on Puppy PC
c-then it should print fine (unless powered off--firmware lost
--in which case, repeat steps a- through c- again)
-----------------------Because I switch between separate Windows and Puppy PCs (and was sometimes turning on and off the 1020 when switching it between them), it was VERY hard to see that preloading firmware from Windows was what let Puppy print.
-----------------------Please let me know how to fix this. Could you maybe confirm/fix by just sending me a script to click on so I can load the firmware from Puppy to the 1020 before I print?
-----------------------*You previously mentioned I might have an "incompatible USB module loaded"--what does that mean? I am not using any other USB device on Puppy and upgraded to 2.17.
NOTE: I found if the CUPS Printer Wizard was not run, Puppy did not see the foo2zjs drivers expanded from the foo2zjs-i486.pet (i.e. using just http://localhost:631 without running the Wizard first, resulted in foo2zjs drivers not being seen). So I run the CUPS Printer Wizard here to make the drivers can be seen.
***Please let me know if you see any errors and I'll try to fix

RIPLEY – It was late 1996 when Ripley High last defeated George Washington in basketball. Coach Craig Harmon has never beaten the team on the hill as the Vikings head coach.
This nearly changed on Thursday night as Ripley fought and scratched its way to a 3-point deficit with a minute and a half to go. What happened next was heartbreaking for true blue and white fans.
A turnover, a forced, highly contested shot on the baseline, a missed layup and four opportunities to get a put back off of the same missed shot was too much for Ripley to overcome against a quality George Washington squad armed with one of the State's better players in guard Luke Eddy.
Eddy gave the Vikings credit for their defensive efforts, Even though he netted 26, just a point below his season average.
"Their guards played well defensively. We had to work for every point we got. It was definitely one of the more physical games we have played this season. They sat tough picks and played hard. We are thankful for a road win in the conference (MSAC).We did shoot the ball pretty well, I think." (45%)
When told that it had been over 16 years since his team had lost to the Vikings, Eddy was shocked.
"Really? I had no idea that it had been that long."
Eddy will play on scholarship for Division I Elon University (North Carolina) and Head Coach Matt Matheny next season.
Ripley was only down by four at halftime but found themselves down by 10 mid-way through the third quarter. George Washington really had little answer for Kade Harrison. He managed to hit tough shots and score in transition.
Cody Sanders continued to give Ripley late game defensive support as he made Eddy change his shot more than once with his long arms and tenacious effort.
Ripley was hurt on the offensive glass and were outrebounded 31-19. The Vikings had opportunities to get easy put backs but missed too many of these chances in the paint.
Ripley hit (6-of-17) 3-point attempts and these timely daggers helped the Vikings hang around and have a chance to win. Casy Smith hit (2-of-4) trey attempts on the evening.
Jacob Haynes continues to embrace his point guard role by dishing out five assists. Chuck Sleboda played tough defense in the paint and Drew Harpold was rather quiet on this night, only shooting three times.
Harrison led the way with 22 points, a blocked shot and three steals, Casy Smith netted 16, five boards and two steals, Haynes had eight and five steals, Sleboda and Harpold tallied three and Luke Layhew added two and a blocked shot.
Upset minded Vikes lose heartbreaker to No. 9 Patriots, 61-54

When Tony Stark isn't suited up in metal saving the world, the self-described genius billionaire playboy philanthropist zips around town in the all-electric Audi e-tron.
At least he does on screen, in "Iron Man 3," in an early kickoff to a summer blockbuster season that will see hundreds of speeding, squealing, exploding, airborne, rolling and smoking vehicles in dozens of high-adrenaline films.
Chloe "Hit-Girl" Moretz won't just don a purple cape in "Kick-Ass 2," she'll do so on a color-matched Ducati Panigale. When Hugh "Logan" Jackman travels to Japan for some superhero soul searching, he's whisked through the streets of Tokyo in an Audi A8 Spyder. Then there's Tyrese "Roman" Gibson, who jumps from a Ford Mustang moments before it's crushed by the tracks of a tank in the sixth installment of the supercharged franchise, "Fast & Furious."
"Every one of these movies, the action gets bigger, the story gets better and we wreck a lot more stuff," said Dennis McCarthy, car coordinator for "Fast & Furious 6," which, alone, features more than 300 vehicles.
Yes, that's a three with two zeros – including 10 Dodge Charger SRT8s, nine Ford Mustangs and a smattering of Aston Martin DB9s and Range Rovers, few of which survived filming.
Most of the vintage muscle cars favored by Vin "Dom" Diesel were sourced "like everyone else," McCarthy said, through Craigslist, eBay, Autotrader and swap meets. The Dodge SRT8s and Ram trucks were provided courtesy of the manufacturer, as was the Ducati Monster 1100 ridden by Gal "Gisele" Gadot and the Harley-Davidson XR1200X that was customized into a flat tracker and flogged by Sung "Han" Kang on camera. The Harley now sits in director Justin Lin's office.
As summer films become more explosive and action oriented, so too are the cars and bikes that are featured. But as much as vehicles add a level of excitement and engagement to filmgoers' experience, viewers are increasingly sophisticated. It's no longer acceptable just to place the most current or desirable product. The cars have to be true to character.
"For me, the biggest focus with putting vehicles in the movie is to make them work for the movie and not seem like product placement," said James Mangold, director of the upcoming Marvel film "The Wolverine," starring Hugh Jackman and, briefly, a Ducati Diavel and Audi R8 Spyder.
Most of the riding and driving is done by a female character named Yukio who nicks vehicles from her wealthy boss and uses them to perform "hard stops, hard pull-ins, and pulling in to tiny spaces at high speed," Mangold said. "But we're the movie about a guy with claws, so the real action in our film is more hand-to-hand and physical."
Despite the limited screen time, the Ducati Diavel and "The Wolverine" are a "perfect fit," said Stefano Sbettega, marketing and communications director for Ducati North America in Cupertino. "It's a fantastic combination of what the motorcycle represents and the Wolverine, who is somehow devilish and has a huge following all over the world."
The devil, or Diavel, has been on the market two years but is getting the film treatment for the first time through "The Wolverine," in which it will be ridden by Jackman (a motorcyclist in real life) as well as the Yukio character, Sbettega said. The other two films in which Ducati bikes will race across the big screen this summer also feature women riders – in "Fast & Furious 6" and "Kick-Ass 2."
"It's not something we planned," Sbettega said. "But we're certainly happy it's coming up. It's good to let the female audience see and understand that motorcyclists are not just toys for boys."
Just as the films are fantasies, so too is the idea of ownership. Placing vehicles in a high-profile movie promotes a fantasy that marketers hope will translate into sales.
"Three percent of the population has a license to motorcycle in this country, so the upside is significant to put motorcycling on the map," said Dino Bernacchi, marketing director of Harley-Davidson Motor Co. in Milwaukee, and former branded entertainment director for General Motors. "When you see a cool scene with a cool person riding a motorcycle, it starts to seed that desire."
As part of an ongoing partnership with Marvel comics that began with "Captain America" in 2011 and continued with "The Avengers" last year, Harley-Davidson has also provided a V-Rod for "Iron Man 3." And it's extending the action off the big screen to the Web, where consumers can create their own superheroes, design their own bikes and, potentially, become part of the Road Force heroes that help Iron Man through a critical mission in a published Marvel comic book that will be unveiled at this summer's Comic-Con. A similar promotion in conjunction with "The Avengers" yielded 60,000 new customer leads, Bernacchi said.
Audi has likewise partnered with Marvel on "Iron Man" "to not only boost brand visibility but create a platform to showcase the latest cutting-edge technology," said Loren Angelo, marketing director for Audi of America, which has provided multiple cars for all three installments of the "Iron Man" franchise.
"Specifically with 'Iron Man,' the franchise seamlessly integrates the product in a way that is able to reach automotive enthusiasts, current and aspirational luxury buyers, as well as create fans of the brand in a smart, strategic and efficient way that is fun and engaging."
The number of advertising impressions generated through a blockbuster film and its many distribution channels, Angelo said, is "worth millions at a fraction of the cost."

Editor's note: Timothy P. O'Neill, a professor at The John Marshall Law School in Chicago, Illinois, has written and lectured widely on criminal law and criminal procedure. Among his articles was a 2007 piece for the Oklahoma Law Review: "The Stepford Justices: The Need for Experiential Diversity on the Roberts Court." He is a graduate of Harvard University and the University of Michigan Law School.
Timothy P. O'Neill says Sonia Sotomayor's record on the court could echo that of David Souter.
CHICAGO, Illinois (CNN) -- So what does the U.S. Supreme Court gain and lose by exchanging Justice David Souter for Sonia Sotomayor?
In Souter, it is losing a graduate of both an Ivy League college and law school; someone with law firm practice as a civil litigator as well as experience as a government prosecutor; a person known as a fine trial judge; and someone who came directly to the Supreme Court from a judgeship on the U.S. Court of Appeals. He is unmarried, childless, and known as a tireless worker.
If Sotomayor is confirmed, the Supreme Court will gain a graduate of both an Ivy League college and law school; someone with law firm practice as a civil litigator as well as experience as a government prosecutor; a person known as a fine trial judge; and someone who comes directly to the Supreme Court from a judgeship on the U.S. Court of Appeals. She is unmarried, childless, and known as a tireless worker.
Oh, and their last names both begin with the letter "S."
So will the change make any difference?
True, Souter is a Republican appointed by a Republican President, while Sotomayor is a Democrat tabbed by a Democrat. Yet Souter has turned into one of the most liberal members of the Court. During the recently completed Term, Souter was in full agreement with Clinton-nominee Ruth Bader Ginsburg in 84 percent of the cases; in contrast, he fully agreed with George W. Bush-nominee Samuel Alito only 39 percent of the time.
It may turn out that Sotomayor's voting record on the court will not be that much different from Souter's. The one area in which she may differ is in criminal law: she may be more pro-prosecution than Souter. It is true that both she and Souter have prosecutorial experience. Yet Souter has been one of the most pro-defense justices during his tenure on the court. On the other hand, Sotomayor's voting record on the Second Circuit does not reveal any particular pro-defense leanings. For example, in the last seven years she has filed only one dissent on behalf of a criminal defendant.
But if Souter taught us anything, it is that predictions of what kind of Supreme Court justice a person will be can often be dead wrong.
Why this uncertainty?
Compare law to mathematics. Most people look to mathematics as a field where all true statements can be deduced through formal proofs. Yet years ago, Kurt Gödel, a mathematician who also happened to be Albert Einstein's best friend, famously proved that any formal system rich enough to include arithmetic must include at least one principle that is true, but nevertheless unprovable.
A statement that is both "true" and "unprovable" might at first seem paradoxical. Yet you might say that this describes the work of the Supreme Court: The court decides those cases that have divided lower courts in order to establish what is "true" in the law, while acknowledging that its decisions cannot be conclusively "proved" to the satisfaction of all.
Why can't everyone be satisfied? Look at the Supreme Court's most recent Term. Of the 75 cases the court decided after briefing and argument, 23 -- almost one-third --- were decided by a 5-4 split in the Court. And of these 23 cases, 16 of them had exactly the same eight justices splitting 4-4 on the same sides. That is, in all 16 cases Chief Justice Roberts and Justices Scalia, Thomas, and Alito agreed with each other, and Justices Stevens, Souter, Breyer, and Ginsburg disagreed. Each case was decided by the vote of Justice Anthony Kennedy: 11 times he joined the former group; five times he joined the latter.
And this is what made Judge Sotomayor's testimony at the hearings this week so frustrating. Her insistence before the Senate Judiciary Committee that "It's not the heart that compels conclusions in cases; it's the law," perpetuates what Professor Louis Michael Seidman calls the "fairy tale" definition of judging.
Look again at how the same eight justices split 4-4 in those 16 cases last Term: it was the same four "conservatives" against the same four "liberals" in every single case. Why? Because in agreeing to review these cases the Supreme Court had already recognized that these cases fell between the cracks of what is "the law."
You can describe this consistent 4-4 split as being based on politics or ideology or policy preferences. But it is not because four justices can understand "the law" and four cannot.
Judge Sotomayor's refusal to admit this is, of course, no different from the refusal of all the other justices to admit this at their own confirmation hearings. It is an established part of the Kabuki-like performance required of a nominee who appears before the Senate Judiciary Committee. But, in the words of Professor Seidman, it is one more missed opportunity "to talk to the American people as if they were adults" about what the Supreme Court actually does.
So is there anything you can say with absolute certainty about what she will bring to the court?
What we do know is that Sotomayor would be the first Latina to sit on the Supreme Court. Her journey from the East Bronx to Princeton and Yale and then to a federal judgeship is a journey few have taken. She has intriguingly described herself as feeling as if she is "not completely a part of the worlds I inhabit." Her experience gives her a unique perspective on the promise and problems of America.
But is any of this -- or should any of this -- be relevant to work on the Supreme Court?
Consider what Justice Sandra Day O'Connor said about her experience of having Thurgood Marshall as a colleague on the court: "Although all of us come to the court with our own personal histories and experiences, Justice Marshall brought a special perspective. ... His was the mouth of a man who knew the anguish of the silenced and gave them a voice. ... Justice Marshall imparted not only his legal acumen but also his life experiences, constantly pushing and prodding us to respond not only to the persuasiveness of legal argument but also the power of moral truth."
Oliver Wendell Holmes told us, "The life of the law has not been logic: It has been experience." As a justice, Sonia Sotomayor will bring a piece of the American experience never before represented on the court. Long after her individual votes may be forgotten, this will undoubtedly be recognized as an important part of her legacy.
The opinions expressed in this commentary are solely those of Timothy P. O'Neill.

Chile Verde
February in Seattle usually involves two things: Rain and Clouds. Oh, and more rain. It's bleak, and it makes me want to stay home in bed, lazing around with my dogs. It provides the perfect excuse for comfort food, too.
THIS, my friends, is comfort food.
I spent last week at a business conference in Phoenix. While I hated to spend any money supporting the tourist industry of the state with the most batshit-crazy Governor, and in a city with the most racist Sheriff in the nation, I loved the conference (great opportunity to network and to see old friends from all over the world) and I ADORE Southwestern food.
We ate well: We had dinner at Jose Garces' new restaurant, Distrito. He makes incredible modern Mexican fare, and every bite was perfection. Thanks to recommendations from many of my friends, we also arrived early one afternoon to try the pizza at Pizzeria Bianco. This place is known for a long wait, but it truly is the best pizza I think I've ever eaten. It's worth enduring the line to get in. Finally, we ate at an old Southwestern restaurant and had traditional, fiery Carne Adovada with beans and rice. It burned my face off in a good way, and sent me home hungry for more southwestern fare. Reading through Saveur on the plane, I stumbled across this recipe and it looked so great I made it as soon as I got home. Carne Adovada is next on my list.
This Chile Verde recipe has heat to it for sure, but not unbearably so. It's absolutely delicious and I hope you like it as much as we did. I doubled the batch—but it didn't last long. Great heat, killer comfort food, and the tomatillos fill your mouth with a nice fiery tang. Speaking of which, tell your mom "hey" for me...
Chile Verde
¼ cup canola oil
2 lb. boneless pork shoulder, cut into ½" cubes
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
½ cup flour
8 oz. ground breakfast sausage
2 tbsp. ground cumin
1 tbsp. green chile powder
1 dried pasilla chile, stemmed, seeded, and chopped
½ cup chopped scallions
12 tomatillos, husked, rinsed, and finely chopped
2 medium yellow onions, finely chopped
2 serrano chiles, stemmed and finely chopped
2 Anaheim chiles, stemmed, seeded, and finely chopped
1 green bell pepper, stemmed, seeded, and finely chopped
2 cups chicken stock
1 (15-oz.) can green enchilada sauce, such as Hatch
Hot sauce, for serving
Roughly torn cilantro leaves, to garnish
Heat oil in an 8-qt. saucepan over medium-high heat. Season pork with salt and pepper; toss with flour. Working in batches, add pork to pan; cook until browned, about 6 minutes. Transfer to a bowl; set aside. Add sausage; cook, breaking up with a spoon, until browned, about 4 minutes. Transfer to bowl with pork. Add cumin, chili powder, and pasilla; cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add scallions, tomatillos, onions, serranos, Anaheim chiles, and bell pepper; cook until soft, about 15 minutes. Add reserved pork and sausage, stock, and enchilada sauce; cook until pork is tender, about 30 minutes. Garnish with cilantro; serve with hot sauce.

The Montero Sport was first produced in Japan and made available in the U.S. in 1982. It wasn't until 1997 that the Montero Sport was built exclusively for export markets and showcased as a high-performance variant. Taking on different names in different countries, the Montero Sport is also known as the Pajero Sport in Europe, Nativa in various Central American areas as well as the Middle East, Shogun Sport in the U.K., the G-Wagon in Thailand, and the Challenger in Australia.
For a brief period, there was a smaller two-door version made for select European markets to compete with other small-size SUVs, such as the Toyota RAV4 and the Honda CR-V.
Marketed as a midsize SUV, the Montero Sport had a strong reputation as a light-duty, occupational utility vehicle. Due to the unforeseen penetration in more than one market, the Montero Sport's success demanded local assembly in foreign markets. The popular SUV also received a substantial amount of upgrades to meet consumer demands. Upgrades included coil over springs, larger brakes, and a limited-slip differential for high-speed handling.
The more that the Montero Sport focused on its sport features, the more it neglected its utility roots. It had an interior that was widely regarded as being similar to a sedan, despite the fact that the roofline was elevated in 2003 models and onward. In addition, later models discarded several utility features, including cup holders and storage space. However, handling, comfort, and overall driving experience were highly rated and commonly described as fun.
The Mitsubishi Montero Sport uses the same chassis as its larger sibling, the regular Montero, but sits reasonably lower and is a lot lighter. The entry-level model ES is the two-wheel drive variant, while the LS offers optional four-wheel drive. The XLS model is only available in four-wheel drive. A 3.5-liter, 197-hp, V-6 engine powers both the LS and XLS, while the ES runs on a 2.4-liter four-cylinder that is much more fuel efficient. ES models are difficult to find as they were discontinued starting in 2004, when the LS became the new base version.
The Montero Sport seats up to five adults. It boasts 79.3 cubic feet of cargo space when the rear seats are folded. Cruise control is standard on the LS model. Remote keyless entry and exterior side steps are also standard. The XLS touring package, which is the most premium trim available, features an Infinity audio system, leather steering-wheel cover, and power sunroof.
The center-console and driver cabin space in the Montero Sport was highly regarded by many SUV enthusiasts as comfortable and commanding. While the low roofline garnered many disapproving reviews, the same feature made the front windshield appear narrow and sporty. In addition, the instrument cluster was designed to coordinate with the rest of the interior. The gauges coincide with the other vehicle controls, both are prominent and stylish.
With regard to exterior design, the Montero Sport is nine-inches shorter than the regular Montero. Coupled with the lower body stance, the angular appearance and rounded fender flares help the car grab peoples' attention. Furthermore, the 16-inch alloy wheels come standard to give the Montero Sport a polished look.
With standard anti-lock brakes and heated seats in the XLS version, the Montero Sport performance/utility SUV was off to a good start. In a short time, more features were added, such as heated seats and a chrome grille with exterior fog lamps.
After this, the Montero Sport received a redesigned tailgate. The interior was upgraded to a two-tone color scheme and an anti-theft immobilizer was introduced. A rear coil over suspension and larger breaks were added to the XLS model. Those who upgraded to the automatic transmission experienced a new feature called Electronic Shift Control (ESC). In addition, the XLS model introduced the use of a limited-slip differential that was more commonly seen on sport sedans at the time.
Later, the Mitsubishi Montero Sport upgraded to a four-wheel-drive system, a more advanced drive train, and emissions were improved to comply with stricter U.S. laws. A few minor exterior modifications were made, but the body remained fundamentally unchanged from the previous model.

COSTEA PHOTOGRAPHY, INC. / http://www.costeaphoto.com
We are an architectural photography studio based in Southern California and have been in business for 20 years. We specialize in photography of large scale commercial buildings (interiors and exteriors) only (no residential or real estate services).
Most of our clients are large architectural firms (some mentioned on our website) which are very keen to notice a good logo so that's who we really cater to.
As a "culture" we like structured things with a flair, playfull order, simplicity and minimalist design, not unlike the architecture we photograph. I personally live in a loft, I like abstract paintings and travel extensivelly. Now it starts sounding like a personal ad (and I am not available :-)) but I'm just trying to give you sense of who I am since I'll have the privilege to work with you.
We have an artistic eye (hopefully :-)) and have an understanding of good graphic design but we are humble enough to realize that knowing Photoshop and a little Illustrator does not make you a designer more than owning the best camera makes you a photographer. Hence this post.
If you made it this far, I want to thank you for taking this project and it is my hope that you will give it your best. Times have been tough for everyone this year and I know the award is not a huge sum :-) but we'll be happy to plug you in our circles and post your link on our website.
Our target audience is made of large and medium architectural firms nationwide (and some internationally as well). Most of the CEO's are male, 30-50 years old but a lot of the graphic designers and business development people (which are our direct contact and a the actual decision makers) are female so we need to appeal to both. They are all highly educated, sophisticated individuals with a discriminate taste for design as they themselves are in the profession of graphic design.
Some of the firms we are targeting are: Gensler, HOK, WATG, MVE-ARCH and the like so please make us look good :-)
The core idea of this project is to breathe new life into an old image without overdosing and killing it altogether. We have quite a bit of equity in our logo and we don't want to lose that.
The design needs to echo the past but with new energy and a 2010 look. A little goes a long way and your experience and educated opinion on what and how much "new" is needed is what we're looking for. You can use elements from the AI file attached but we'd like to see a change (lots of color options a bonus :-) )
Specifically,we like clean cut design, structure over free-hand, solid over gradients and soft edges, minimalist over "in your face" loud design.
http://www.costeaphoto.com/cpilogoupdate illustrates the direction we're looking for. The first (orange and brown) is our current logo. The subsequent images are progressively simplified (removed lines, turned gradients into solids, reduced the number of elements in the circles and ultimatelly changed the font to echoe the streamlined look.
In a nutshell, we tried a few ideas which you are more than welcome to use if you want as a start and as a direction but COULD YOU PLEASE DO BETTER THAN US :-).
Final art should be vector files: EPS/AI as well as Adobe RGB (let's say) 8x10@300dpi TIFFs. Design in spot color (2 Pantone Colors max if possible).
Thanks again.

Coral Breast Centers for Brachytherapy
Coral Breast Centers for Brachytherapy will offer women throughout the country the opportunity to have a five day targeted course of radiation after lumpectomy rather than the 6.5 weeks of daily radiation that is currently offered Brachytherapy is a new form of radiation that requires specialized equipment and physician training and as a result it has not been well adapted across the US. CBCB will bring this novel treatment to cities that have not yet developed this technology. We will partner with local radiation physicians and help them develop the expertise to safely and accurately implement this treatment
Women with newly diagnosed early breast cancer that have opted for lumpectomy and are in need of radiation. We would like CBCB to become a recognized brand for excellence in care of women with breast cancer.
The colors need to be some shade of coral and sapphire blue. We chose the name coral for its association with the water and calm. We want the logo to reflect healing.....serenity with competence... this is a real yin/yang concept as the radiation therapy is extremely cutting edge and yet the centers will have a calm, meditative feel to them, much like women experience when they go to a spa.
Cancer, of course, can be a very scary experience. But going to our center will not be like going to other doctors' offices. The experience will be positive and uplifting, providing an environment, giving women strength and power. It will be a patient physician collaboration, working together as a team, making choices together.
As this is a new company we do not have pre-existing materials and are very open to ideas. Be creative.

One question I am often asked is how I go about getting booked for appearances or wrestling matches as an independent professional wrestler. The answer is that no two bookings follow the same process.
In the event I have never worked with the person or promotion before, I usually send them to speak with my booking agent. He decides if the person is legitimate or not. He will also make sure all deposits are paid to secure the date on which the promotion has requested me to work.
I am often asked to work by different people on the same date. I like to go with whomever asks first, but to secure the date, a deposit is required. If I have worked with a person before, and I haven't had a problem, I usually take the date without asking for a deposit and I pencil it in on my calender and all goes well.
The final circumstance in finding a booking is if I don't know you and you are recommended by someone whom I trust, I will work with the person without a deposit.
Since I left World Wrestling Entertainment nearly two and a half years ago, I have had only two weekends off. Most promoters run their shows on weekends, in order draw larger crowds. I have been very fortunate, and my system has worked very well, until recently, that is, when I ran into a situation that didn't produce a happy outcome.
Typically, I am booked about three to four months in advance. In this case, I received a phone call from a guy wanting to book me for a show on May 26. He told me he doesn't deal with booking agents due to a personal situation between him and my agent. Most promoters don't like agents because they are looking out for their clients' best interests.
They try to get the most money they can and keep a percentage of the booking fee for themselves. If they (the promoter) have had a bad business dealing with someone in the past, it does affect future business. With that in mind, I also understand that not everyone can do business together and get along.
This particular person said my good friend Little Guido (a.k.a. Nunzio) would vouch for him, if I was available for the date in question, and would like to take the booking. He claimed he always pays his talent the agreed-upon booking fee and runs successful shows in the Massachusetts area.
So I called Nunzio. He told me he had worked for the promotion twice in the past and everything ran smoothly. So, with a positive recommendation, I texted the promoter to confirm the date. My text came back undeliverable. Two days passed before the promoter called me back, asking why I hadn't returned his call. I explained that I had sent a text, but it could not be delivered. He apologized and explained he didn't have a texting plan on his phone. That was red flag No. 1.
In this day and age, it's hard to believe someone doesn't have a texting plan on their cellphone, but I let it pass. We agreed on a booking fee and for me to wrestle on the show. A few days later, he called me asking for a few other wrestlers' phone numbers. I told him that I don't give out telephone numbers to people for whom I have never worked and whom I can't recommend. I told him I would take his list of desired wrestlers and that I would have them contact him, if they were interested.
A few weeks passed before I was asked to work on May 26 by a different promoter, with whom I had worked before. I called up the first promoter and asked how his show was going. He said it was still happening, and that he had ordered the posters and was airing local commercials on Monday Night Raw. I turned down the second promoter, trying to be a man of my word, and stuck to my original commitment. I recommended to the second promoter that he use former ECW WWE and TNA wrestler Rhino in my place.
A few days later, I got another call from a third promoter who wanted to book me for May 26, as well as a follow-up date in July. They had local TV and wanted me to wrestle their champion and have a return match in July based on the May match. I called the first promoter again, and he said the commercials were airing and that I was his main event against TNA wrestler Robbie E.
I declined the third promoter's two-show offer and recommended former WWE wrestler Carlito and/or former WWE/TNA wrestler Matt Hardy.
The first promoter then called me and said he had a personal appearance for me the day of the show and that he would give me $150 more to do it. I called him back and left a message on his answering machine. We played phone tag and, eventually, he left a message stating to call him at a certain time because he would be home, as he didn't own a cellphone. That's red flag No. 2.
I immediately called Nunzio to confirm that this guy didn't have a cellphone. To that point, I had declined three shows to work for this guy. Nunzio assured me all was well and we would have a good time. I then asked Nunzio about the personal appearance the promoter had requested. Nunzio said he spoke to the promoter and the appearance was for his sponsor and he (the sponsor) just wanted a picture with his kid in front of his restaurant. Nunzio said he was offered $75 to do it. I told him I was offered $150, and he said that now that he was going, as well, we were splitting the appearance fee. I declined, to Nunzio's dismay.
Two weeks before the event, I had the chance to speak to Robbie E and he said that he had declined to work for the promotion months ago, due to a TNA commitment. I also ran into two wrestlers whom I had previously tried to call to discuss the promoter and they said they wouldn't work for this promoter because he didn't pay them one time before.
By now I was very worried and angry. Nunzio again re-assured me all was well. By now, you can guess where this story is going. The Tuesday before the event, the promoter called me, leaving a message to say the building cancelled his event due to insurance reasons, but not to worry as I was booked on his next show in July.
I wish I would have picked up his call, or, better yet, have seen him in person, because he would have had hell to pay. May 26 came and went, with me sitting at home making no money while everyone else I had recommended was out wrestling. But the plot thickens.
I received a tweet about how unprofessional I was for not making a scheduled appearance. Having no clue what this person was talking about, I sent several direct messages on Twitter, as well as e-mails. I later discovered that this was the appearance for the promoter that I had never agreed to. This poor guy who owned the restaurant had paid for both myself and Robbie E to appear at his establishment. He, too, was scammed by this promoter and he paid a lot more than the $150 I was promised.
I tried to make the appearance work, and the owner of the restaurant explained to me some shady dealings he had in the past with this promoter. It appears the promoter had claimed he would have certain wrestlers go to the restaurant after the wrestling show and they never appeared. One of those wrestlers was Rhino, who later told me he knew nothing about the appearance and was not even given the amount of money he was promised by the promoter to wrestle. I try to find good in every situation. This one is a hard one.
I guess what stands out to me is how one lie leads to so many others. In the end, I am happy that certain wrestlers wouldn't go work for this guy. If we all band together, guys like this will no longer exist. With social media, it is also a good way to draw attention to other people's misdoings, not by using personal grudges, but by using the facts. I spoke to the bar owner now and he is well aware of the situation and won't be fooled again.
Usually, everyone loses in this case. The fans, the wrestlers and any sponsors that are involved. I am not mad at Nunzio, because he was going from his two past experiences. He got screwed over just like I did. I enjoyed my weekend with friends and family, so it wasn't all a loss. At least I know I kept my word to a promoter, even if this person didn't deserve it. I won't work for him ever, nor will I ever recommend him. Not all stories have happy endings. This is just a tale of one wrestler echoing a story of the same thing that has happened to many throughout the years. Hopefully the end of the shady promoter is coming, thanks to social awareness.
Thanks for reading.

Sir Richard Rodney Bennett, one of Britain's most versatile and talented composers and performers, has died peacefully on Christmas Eve in his adopted home city of New York, aged 76.
Over the course of a distinguished career he has been equally at home writing music for the concert hall and performing cabaret at the Algonquin Hotel; as enthusiastic about Cole Porter as Pierre Boulez. His publisher, Gill Graham of the Music Sales Group, said: "He was, I think, the last of his kind. He wrote 32-bar jazz standards, the most complex serial music, and everything in between."
To a broad audience he is perhaps best known as a prolific writer of scores for film and television, including for Sidney Lumet's Murder on the Orient Express and Four Weddings and a Funeral; his film work earned him two Oscar nominations. To his friends he will be remembered as a witty and generous host, a fiendish player of Scrabble and an enthusiastic creator of delicious Christmas feasts. Graham described him as "determined, hilarious and a great influence".
Bennett was born in 1936 and raised in Budleigh Salterton, Devon. His mother had studied composition with Gustav Holst; his father was a writer of children's books. In 1953 he turned down a place at Oxford to study at the Royal Academy of Music in London, part of a golden generation of British composers including Sir Peter Maxwell Davies, Thea Musgrave, Cornelius Cardew and Sir Harrison Birtwistle. He told the Guardian last year: "In fact for me the academy was a disaster. I learned much more in the Westminster music library in Buckingham Palace Road, which was an absolute treasure house of 20th-century music. But London was very exciting. It was cheap and we could live our own lives and be slightly raffish without exactly being bohemian."
Bennett was one of only very few composers to study personally with Boulez, in Paris from 1957-8. He also visited the Darmstadt summer school. These were the twin citadels of 12-tone serial composition, and the rigorous attitude among many of the "serious" composers of the time was to discount music written outside its strictures.
All along, though, Bennett was writing music for the screen in popular idioms "to earn money to subsidise my other work. But I liked writing music that would be played next week by brilliant musicians. It was the best training there was," he said. As a student he also supported himself as a jazz musician and later began to perform regularly with Cleo Laine. He is regarded as having been one of the most accomplished jazz pianists of his generation.
Major works include three symphonies and an opera, The Mines of Sulphur. There were concertos for various instruments and concertante pieces including his Actaeon for orchestra and solo horn, and his Sonnets to Orpheus for orchestra and solo cello.
Finally, all these disparate parts of his musical life were reconciled, aided by a move to New York in 1979. A more relaxed style emerged, with music for the concert hall inflected with flavours of the jazz and film music that he loved. A 1990 concerto for saxophone fused jazz harmonies and serial technique; recent works have included Reflections on a Scottish Folk Song for cello and string orchestra commissioned by Prince Charles to honour the memory of the Queen Mother.
The critic Tom Service wrote earlier this year: "In his reflection of so many of the streams, trends and styles of postwar music, and in the unmistakable, personal voice he has found across all of the genres in which he has worked, composed and performed, Bennett is one of the most significant compositional voices we have."
Although the sheer variety of his output means that he has, perhaps, been undervalued, his delight in so many genres and styles has, arguably, prefigured the eclectic musical approach of a younger generation of composers such as Mark-Anthony Turnage and Thomas Adès.
Chris Butler, head of publishing for the Music Sales Group, which owns Chester and Novello, said: "Richard was the most complete musician of his generation – lavishly gifted as a composer, performer and entertainer in a multiplicity of styles and genres. He was a loyal friend to music, musicians and music publishing and we will remember him with great respect and affection."

Spacewalking Astronauts Hunt For Big Station Leak
Two astronauts are taking a hastily planned spacewalk to find and, possibly, fix a serious leak at the International Space Station.
Flakes of frozen ammonia coolant were spotted Thursday drifting from the long frame that holds the solar panels on the left side. Less than 48 hours later, Thomas Marshburn and Christopher Cassidy emerged from the orbiting lab Saturday to hunt for the leak. They're prepared to replace a pump, if necessary.
The two have been at this troublesome spot before, during a shuttle visit in 2009.
NASA says the leak, while significant, poses no safety threat. But managers want to deal with the trouble now.
NASA has never staged such a fast, impromptu spacewalk for a station crew. Even during the shuttle days, unplanned spacewalks were rare.

The ERP5 Rank is an investment tool that analysts use to discover undervalued companies. The ERP5 looks at the Price to Book ratio, Earnings Yield, ROIC and 5 year average ROIC. The ERP5 of Vicat SA (ENXTPA:VCT) is 4233. The lower the ERP5 rank, the more undervalued a company is thought to be.
Investors may be analyzing the portfolio as we continue to move closer to the end of the year. Studying first half results may assist to identify trades that panned out, and those that didn't. Keeping tabs on pervious trade outcomes may be a good way to accurately see what actually happened. It may be necessary to dig a little deeper to try and figure out why certain trades worked, and why others did not. Many investors may feel like they have missed the boat, and they may be wondering if stocks will see increased momentum closing out the year. Attaining comprehensive knowledge of the markets may take years to truly figure out. Combining technical analysis and tracking fundamentals may help the investor see the complete picture and develop confidence for trading into the future. Being able to sift through the endless sea of information may take some perseverance and extreme focus.
FCF Yield 5yr Avg
The FCF Yield 5yr Average is calculated by taking the five year average free cash flow of a company, and dividing it by the current enterprise value. Enterprise Value is calculated by taking the market capitalization plus debt, minority interest and preferred shares, minus total cash and cash equivalents. The average FCF of a company is determined by looking at the cash generated by operations of the company. The Free Cash Flow Yield 5 Year Average of Vicat SA (ENXTPA:VCT) is 0.053586.
Technicals & Ratios
The EBITDA Yield is a great way to determine a company's profitability. This number is calculated by dividing a company's earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization by the company's enterprise value. Enterprise Value is calculated by taking the market capitalization plus debt, minority interest and preferred shares, minus total cash and cash equivalents. The EBITDA Yield for Vicat SA (ENXTPA:VCT) is 0.135654.
The Earnings to Price yield of Vicat SA (ENXTPA:VCT) is 0.080653. This is calculated by taking the earnings per share and dividing it by the last closing share price. This is one of the most popular methods investors use to evaluate a company's financial performance. Earnings Yield is calculated by taking the operating income or earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) and dividing it by the Enterprise Value of the company. The Earnings Yield for Vicat SA (ENXTPA:VCT) is 0.077621.
Earnings Yield helps investors measure the return on investment for a given company. Similarly, the Earnings Yield Five Year Average is the five year average operating income or EBIT divided by the current enterprise value. The Earnings Yield Five Year average for Vicat SA is 0.078417.
Q.i. Value
The Q.i. Value of Vicat SA (ENXTPA:VCT) is 9.00000. The Q.i. Value is another helpful tool in determining if a company is undervalued or not. The Q.i. Value is calculated using the following ratios: EBITDA Yield, Earnings Yield, FCF Yield, and Liquidity. The lower the Q.i. value, the more undervalued the company is thought to be.
Quant Scores
The M-Score, conceived by accounting professor Messod Beneish, is a model for detecting whether a company has manipulated their earnings numbers or not. Vicat SA (ENXTPA:VCT) has an M-Score of -2.747120. The M-Score is based on 8 different variables: Days' sales in receivables index, Gross Margin Index, Asset Quality Index, Sales Growth Index, Depreciation Index, Sales, General and Administrative expenses Index, Leverage Index and Total Accruals to Total Assets. A score higher than -1.78 is an indicator that the company might be manipulating their numbers.
The Value Composite One (VC1) is a method that investors use to determine a company's value. The VC1 of Vicat SA (ENXTPA:VCT) is 10. A company with a value of 0 is thought to be an undervalued company, while a company with a value of 100 is considered an overvalued company. The VC1 is calculated using the price to book value, price to sales, EBITDA to EV, price to cash flow, and price to earnings. Similarly, the Value Composite Two (VC2) is calculated with the same ratios, but adds the Shareholder Yield. The Value Composite Two of Vicat SA (ENXTPA:VCT) is 7.
Investors may be interested in viewing the Gross Margin score on shares of Vicat SA (ENXTPA:VCT). The name currently has a score of 4.00000. This score is derived from the Gross Margin (Marx) stability and growth over the previous eight years. The Gross Margin score lands on a scale from 1 to 100 where a score of 1 would be considered positive, and a score of 100 would be seen as negative.
At the time of writing, Vicat SA (ENXTPA:VCT) has a Piotroski F-Score of 6. The F-Score may help discover companies with strengthening balance sheets. The score may also be used to spot the weak performers. Joseph Piotroski developed the F-Score which employs nine different variables based on the company financial statement. A single point is assigned to each test that a stock passes. Typically, a stock scoring an 8 or 9 would be seen as strong. On the other end, a stock with a score from 0-2 would be viewed as weak.
When deciding how to best approach the stock market, individual investors may need to figure out what their time horizon is going to be. Short-term traders may only be looking to hold stocks for a short period in order to capitalize on fluctuations. Longer-term investors may be looking at more of a buy and hold strategy, and they may not be very concerned with the day to day shifts of a stock's price. Accumulating as much knowledge as possible about specific stocks and the markets in general can help the investor prepare for success. Because there is no magic strategy that can be employed to guarantee profits, investors may need to evaluate multiple methods before choosing which one to pursue.

Susan B. Stottlemyer Wolford, age 84 of West Walter Avenue, Greencastle, Pa., died at 7:30 p.m. Monday, April 22, 2013, in ManorCare Health Services, Chambersburg where she had been a resident since June 2012.
