Quick notes:
My PC is too old to test the CPU frequency thing. I have no idea if it works in 4.2
Tcl/Tk is not included, thus Roaring Penguin is gone and PupSnap replaces mtpaint-snaphot..
(Hope that is enough...Other tcl dependencies?)
I have not tested this on my Eee PC, because Fluppy or Puppeee will be better.
Vattery may or may not work, I haven't tested it.
Any laptop users might want to checkout 'xblacklight' to adjust screen brightness.
I haven't turned my printer on for about 3 years
, so haven't tested printing, but Puplite uses standard puppy4 packages for printing in the addon sfs.
PMConky will not show up above the wallpaper..
you must disable jwm wallpaper (delete /usr/share/backgrounds/default.jpg) to see it (a fix, anyone?)
Firedog was built on this and works very well loaded on the fly
You can use a script called 'pets2sfs' to combine all pets in a folder into 1 sfs..
It takes no paramaters, uses Xdialog ...
There are 2 auto mounts scripts available - 'automount.sh' and 'mountall'..
it is not recommended (or needed) to auto load them at boot
The jwmconfig2 tool has a couple of 'issues' - the set wallpaper button does nothing (use SWS instead).. and the button for 'apply gtk theme to jwm' is gone (after shinobars update).. Shame cos that actually works on 4.2..
Also the SWS wallpaper tool will change wallpapers but won't apply the tiled, stretched etc - you need to open the .jwmrc file and edit it directly (easy).

Please note i re-uploaded 1.0 (new md5 sum at top of thread)
It includes hardinfo (whoops), plus a few fixes from radky and shinobar
Any early downloaders might want to re-download - if you are missing hardinfo
Possible future updates include:
- make pmconky appear above desktop wallpaper
- create loader for create_jwm_drives.sh in /etc/init.d, remove it from xwin
- make jwm drives check if drive is usb and show different icon
- update puppy event manager to restart jwm after hotplugging detects new device
- add 'apply gtk theme to jwm' button back to jwmconfig
- update 'startups' script with more process descriptions
- find a tiny VOIP app
- fix filemnt to ask to unsquash sfs4 files
- more additions to /etc/mailcap

Hello sc0ttman,
I can see a lot of work went in to this one and your list of changes made is very detailed letting those interested know whats been improved.
I love that you have all the Drive icons grouped together and prefer yours over the standard Puppy.
I think you'll find in time a few remasters turning up based on this iso.
Well done!

Thanks, it's difficult to list the changes exactly as this went from being Puppy 4.2 -> TurboPup -> Puppy Arcade -> Puplite..
I may have missed a few changes small I made for Puplite, and excluded anything about stripping Puppy Arcade..

Thanks very much
I dislike the icons moving around after loading sfs files at reboot, and don't like icons I don't use.

There are no plans to update the Xorg version.. Sorry. And I don't know how to do that..
made a puplet based on 4.1 with a newer Xorg, I think...
Not sure of the name...
And I made this with Woofy, occasionally using edit-sfs...
But for some things to be changed correctly, I had to run the ISO through remasterpup2
(the same one as the version in Puplite)..

I cant find a xorg upgrade of 7.3 but I ask , Could I make other version of puppy with Woof but with the same programs and reorganization that you made in Puplite-1.0 ?? If it possible or if you accept to post some tutorial about how to do that ? I ask because you said that not have plans to update Xorg..

I doubt Woof would build anything similar to Puplite, as I said, I used Woof
But you could build an updated Puppy 4 with Woof, I guess..
You could choose all puppy 4 packages when you build it, no idea how it would finish, though..
(I never used Woof, I don't have the required hardware, but it maybe possible.)
And I would love to help you out, but I don't know how to upgrade Xorg, without breaking other things!
Maybe someone else, who knows more about it can help..
But as Puplite-1.0 iis based on Puppy 4.2, Woof is not really relevant I think..

This is released as is..
I don't plan any more ISO releases, but I will try to help anyone who uses it..
Lets hope people still compile stuff for Puppy 4, to keep it alive!
Some great innovation
Thanks for providing the documentation and pics,
Pics always provides an impression and understanding of what has been achieved.
I am sure some of your code will appear in other 4.x series Puppys.
There are keen compilers of the stable 4.x series, long may it continue.
Great to see such an array of browsers available
Congratulations. Puppy is strengthened by your efforts

Cheers Lobster..
I did do some stuff for this, but I'll say again, most of the good work was done by the guys mentioned in the first thread!
That is: synth, goingnuts and Technosaurus did a lot of work to make it less resource intensive, ttuuxxx compiled lots of tiny apps (very well),tempestuous did all the driver stuff, and shinobar made a lot of the startup/shutdown improvements..
I just cobbled them together!
But if anyone cares, here's my latest to do list (hopefully in the form of a pet):
To do: puplite-1.1
- fix: add "apply gtk theme to jwm" button back to jwmconfig, fix wallpaper button (make it use 'sws')
- fix: add 20 second timeout to 'scrape' and 'meta info' functions in PupTransmission
- update: replace mocp with aqualung, maybe
- update: use Patriots jwm to fix pmconky, if I make it work nicer with fullscreen flash
- update: make pmconky loader in init.d, update jwm theme a little
- update: pmconky - add battery info, temperatures, cpu cores, scaling, etc
- update: add loader for automount in init.d, remove it from xwin
- update: add loader for create_jwm_drives.sh in init.d, remove it from xwin
- update: puppy event manager to run create_jwm_drives (if exec in init.d) and restart jwm after hot-plugging a device
- update: create_jwm_drives.sh so it shows usb drive icon
- update: startups with descriptions for automount, pmconky, jwmdrives
- update: fix Trios sfs-convertor for Puplite and add it
- update: filemnt to ask to unsquash (or convert) incompatible (sfs4) files, when not mounted
- update: more right click options for various file types
- remove: vattery - if pmconky can show decent battery info
- add: a custom simple gui to choose some opengl drivers - nvidias, ati, xorg_full, or web link to others
- add: mpd (music play daemon) - cos why not? its tiny..
- add: get a working google chrome pet, add it to the browser installer
- add: the latest pCD, pmusic and pburn
(goingnuts has kindly helped me solve a few things already.. ideas or suggestions welcome)

Commentary & Analysis
L. A. Marzulli
Threatening Iran and attacking Iran will harm America,' Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei warned in a defiant speech on Friday.
'Sanctions will not have any impact on 'our determination to continue our nuclear course' and it will impose any threats 'at the right time', he added.
'I have no fear of saying that we will back and help any nation or group that wants to confront and fight against the Zionist regime (Israel).'
Please read the above quotes taken from the article that I linked to. I believe that any reasonable person, can plainly see the writing on the wall as it were. War is coming. There is a clash of civilizations – something which I wrote about in P.P.&S – that is about to reach a crescendo. As I mentioned in an earlier BLOG this week, the tension between Islam and Israel is based on supernatural events that have shaped the culture and body politic, in different ways. If those events had never happened the Middle East would not be in the "fix" that we see it in today and everyone would be eating milk and cookies together. However, what we see is unmitigated vitriol against Israel that continues without a comma, day after dar, week after week and year after year. When will our so-called leaders realize that once, not if the Iranians achieve nuclear status they will use there newly acquired weapon to fight against the Zionist regime.
Khomeimi has stated this "goal," as well as President, Mahmoud Ahmedinejhad. War is coming to the region and from my perspective it is the fulfillment of prophecy that was written thousands of years ago. This war will be a game changer as I have stated numerous times. I believe it will lead to the Time of Jacob's Trouble – not Bob, Fred, or Ernie's – as I constantly remind the readers here. Every day we get closer to some conflict. While there are no stories In The Other News Section today about Syria, the tension and conflict continues there. There are thousands of missiles pointed at Israel from the North and now from Gaza. Israel gave up the Gaza strip in hope of the promise of land for peace. However, there was no peace and even before the last Israeli had left the settlements the rockets and mortar fire started from Gaza across the border into Israel.
In closing todays post: This Sunday is Super Bowl Sunday and most Americans will gather together to eat, drink and be merry as we watch the apex, or more appropriately what I would consider our nadir, of our collective cultural achievement, complete with Madonna entertaining us at half-time. (Why not have Yo0-Yo Ma instead?) Most Americans and the church at large, don't follow what is happening over there. Most are eager to relax and watch their team battle it out on the grid iron. However, there is a dark shadow that hovers just out of sight, whispering that all is not well, as everyone who enters the stadium where the game will be played will have to go through a full body scanner. While we make merry, like the ancient Babylonian Kings, the hand-writing is on the wall. War is coming…

Is The Battle Over The Internet About Control vs. Chaos? Or Delusions vs. Reality?
from the entropy-is-not-a-bad-thing deptA bunch of folks have been pointing to Vanity Fair's writeup on the fight for the future of the internet. It talks about a bunch of things, but I think the best summary of the article comes not at the beginning, but a little ways in, where author Michael Joseph Glass writes:
One way to think about the War for the Internet is to cast it as a polar conflict: Order versus Disorder, Control versus Chaos. The forces of Order want to superimpose existing, pre-digital power structures and their associated notions of privacy, intellectual property, security, and sovereignty onto the Internet. The forces of Disorder want to abandon those rickety old structures and let the will of the crowd create a new global culture, maybe even new kinds of virtual "countries." At their most extreme, the forces of Disorder want an Internet with no rules at all.This is an interesting, and somewhat different way of positioning many of the battles that we normally talk about. I think that some of the descriptions in the article are overly simplistic (to downright misleading), but the framing is still interesting. I cringe a little at the use of "chaos" as being the opposite of control here, because I think chaos (and disorder) have negative connotations. Furthermore, when you set it up that way, you are effectively suggesting that order or control on the internet is possible. I don't think that those pushing back against the folks described in the article as seeking "order" are necessarily in favor of "disorder." It's more that they recognize the impossibility of controlling a system that is effectively uncontrollable, and that each attempt to do so has significant (sometimes intended, but frequently unintended) consequences.
A conflict with two sides is a picture we're used to--and although in this case it's simplistic, it's a way to get a handle on what the stakes are. But the story of the War for the Internet, as it's usually told, leaves out the characters who have the best chance to resolve the conflict in a reasonable way. Think of these people as the forces of Organized Chaos. They are more farsighted than the forces of Order and Disorder. They tend to know more about the Internet as both a technical and social artifact. And they are pragmatists. They are like a Resistance group that hopes to influence the battle and to shape a fitful peace. The Resistance includes people such as Vint Cerf, who helped design the Internet in the first place; Jeff Moss, a hacker of immense powers who has been trying to get Order and Disorder to talk to each other; Joshua Corman, a cyber-security analyst who spends his off-hours keeping tabs on the activities of hackers operating under the name of Anonymous; and Dan Kaminsky, one of the world's top experts on the Internet's central feature, the Domain Name System.
The people described in the article as seeking "Organized Chaos" are realists not because they compromise the principles of one side with the other, but because they recognize how the system has to function, and worry when those who don't understand it seek to tinker with what they clearly do not grasp.
The article centers on the upcoming attempt by certain countries to shift significant internet oversight to the ITU, in part to help countries like Russia, China, Brazil, India and Iran who seek greater control over the internet. This is going to become a bigger and bigger issue as the year goes on, but it is definitely part of a larger debate over what happens to the internet going forward. The article also discusses the SOPA/PIPA fight, and how politicians around the world are learning not to just mess with the internet blindly.
All in all a good read, but one that definitely underplays some of the significance of what's really happening, and (unfortunately) pitches it as a battle where either side has an equal chance of succeeding. That's not true. The fight is really more between those who understand the internet, and those who don't. The "pragmatists" listed in the article are really just those patient enough to try to drag those who don't get the internet far enough into the future that they don't muck things up too badly.

chenvova11 needed a new web page design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 7 designs submitted by 3 freelance designers.
This project is fairly easy because we ask you to design a frontpage and one subpage (Schools) based on the design of another website of ours.
Hexaville.dk needs to be designed, the structure of the site should follow Mingoville (found at speddatescript.com/mingo), which is one of our sites specializing in English learning.
The winner of this contest will ideally be able to offer further services (on a freelance basis) on this and other projects with us.
Based on the Mingoville's design found at http://www.speddatescript.com/mingo, we open this contest for another program of ours called Hexaville.dk
This project involved only two pages: Frontpage and one Subpage (i.e. Schools ... see "Schools" at speddatescript.com/mingo).
All the files (characters, logos, icons, portals, locations, slashscreens) can be downloaded here or copy and paste this url http://labs.delc.dk/hexaville.zip
Overall layoutTry to keep the frontpage on a single screen and not too text heavy. Use soft and appealing design.
There are six (6) subpages in the primary navigation as follows:
1) Parents 2) Schools 3) Demo 4) Blog 5) Partners 6) Downloads
There are 6 subpages in the secondary (below) navigation as follows:
1) Company 2) FAQ 3) Terms of Use 4) Privacy Policy 5) Contact 6) SiteMap
There should also be a login box, as at Mingoville (http://www.speddatescript.com/mingo) we intend to have 'containers' or 'modules' that can be placed in rows or around the page that contain different dynamically updated information like: NewestUsers, User Locations, User Testimonials, Meet the Hexaville citizens
For example, we've built a short rotating demo in Flash on Mingoville (see http://www.speddatescript.com/mingo). We will in the future have a demo like this on hexaville.dk frontpage.
More Info: The Hexaville program is an Internet-based math learning application aimed at kids age 9-13 to learn in the fun and entertaining way.
The website is targeted towards schools where teachers sign up their pupils but, also parents who usually sign up their kids for the application.
- Desired color scheme: Although you will refer to the Mingoville site Be creative. The colors should be appealing.
- Desired style: Surprise us.
- File formats: vector and/or pixel graphics
- More info: Visitors should get a feeling that this is an application for tweens. Certainly, it should appeal this group.

The racks were a great fit for my VW Rabbit. I was impressed with how fast they came in the mail. Additionally, putting them together was very easy, the directions are pretty straight forward you just need to make sure you are looking at the right model vehicle.

If you're a Major League ball player, the last place you want to be is on the disabled list.
Yet, as the season kicked off, that's exactly where Blue Jays' reliever Michael Schwimer found himself. While his teammates started the season with expectations of a playoff position in mind, if not a berth in the World Series, Schwimer found himself back in Florida, rehabbing, building up strength and slowly getting some pitches in.
Schwimer missed the opening two weeks of the season with a shoulder injury; that was the bad news. The good news is that it isn't the same injury that plagued him last year as a member of the Philadelphia Phillies. That was a biceps injury, but when he spoke to The CJN on the telephone from Florida, he proclaimed himself healed and raring to go.
"Right now, I'm getting better every day," he said. "There's no real timetable. I'm healthy, with no pain in my arm.
"I need to build up my arm strength. I'm hopeful to be out of here shortly, but I don't know."
"Every day is better than the next. It shouldn't be long."
Schwimer is one of the new crop of players management hopes turns the team into a contender. He was acquired during spring training from the Philadelphia Phillies for minor-league player Art Charles. A right-handed reliever, Schwimer stands six-foot-eight and weights 246 pounds. According to NBC Sports, "Schwimer was given away to the Blue Jays because he threatened a grievance over how the Phillies handled an injury last year."
Playing in his rookie season with the Phillies last year, the Virginia-born athlete came out of the bullpen 47 times and fashioned a 2-1 record with a 4.46 ERA. He threw strikes with regularity. In 34.1 innings he fanned 36.
For Schwimer, the Phillies was the only Major League organization he knew, but "going to a new organization was exciting." His experience with the Blue Jays has been positive. "It's a good team, a good clubhouse," he said.
And like a lot of pre-season prognosticators, Schwimer feels management has put together a team for whom the sky is the limit. "You can see what the Blue Jays are doing brilliantly, not just make the team into a playoff contender, but a World Series team," he said.
With that attitude, Schwimer is not worried about the team's slow start. From the time he spoke to The CJN to the time this story appears in print, the team made strides. At press time, The Blue Jays were only 2.5 games back of Boston in the American League East.
For the worrywarts among us, Schwimer said that there are 162 games in the season. "The slow start, that's for people and fans to get worried about. Among the players, I assume, there's no worry, no panic. Every loss, the fans and media tend to freak out. As a player… you don't press the panic button."
As for his role on the team, management indicated they expect him to come in as a late inning reliever. "But, I'll have to prove it," he said.
When he does finally get to Toronto, Schwimer hopes to add one other element to his role as a Blue Jay. It was something he had hoped to do in Philly, but it just didn't work out. He had approached Jewish organizations, indicating he was available to speak to young people and "help out in any way I can. I love speaking to kids and sharing my experiences and helping them get on the right path."
A native of Fairfax, Va., Schwimer attended weekly Hebrew school and had a bar mitzvah. An all-round athlete who won all sorts of accolades for baseball, he was also an all-star high school basketball player.
He has great memories of competing in the JCC Maccabi Games, an event that attracts top high school aged players from Canada, the United States, Israel and other nations.
He participated in three of the summer games, winning two gold medals in basketball.
"It was an absolute blast," he recalled. "We had so much fun."
In his senior year in high school, he averaged 21 points, eight rebounds, and six assists per game. He was such an accomplished athlete, he was offered Division 1 scholarships to play football, basketball, and baseball. Duke and Louisville offered him full basketball scholarships.
Instead he chose baseball and was drafted in the 14th round in 2008 by the Phillies. He toiled in the minor leagues until 2011, when he made his Major League debut.
When it comes to pitching, he can't be pigeonholed. "No one pitches like me," he said. "I have an unorthodox, unique motion that helps me hide the ball better. I have better deception and create better angles so I can drive the ball downhill."
His best pitches are the fastball, change up, sinker and slider.

The Marine Corps commandant wanted to snuff out rape in the ranks. However, his well-meaning but overly blunt talk instead complicated Marine sexual-assault cases worldwide and raised troubling questions about whether accused Marines will get a fair shake.
This week, for the second time in recent months, a Marine Corps trial judge found that Gen. James F. Amos' forceful remarks on sexual assault earlier this year presented the appearance of unlawful command influence.
Command influence can severely hinder the military justice system, where facts are found and fates determined by people who are drilled to obey their superiors.
So on Marine Corps bases from Twentynine Palms in California to Parris Island in South Carolina and beyond, defense attorneys are quietly but persistently challenging a system that they fear could be stacked against them. Already, some have secured additional trial help.
The commandant, a four-star general, has been compelled to answer a judge's written questions under oath. Conceivably, some cases could be dropped altogether, an ironic and unintended consequence of the Marine leadership's aggressive anti-rape stance.
"Our cases, particularly our sexual assault cases, are being tried under intense scrutiny from both within and outside the Marine Corps," Col. John Baker, the chief defense counsel of the Marine Corps, said in an e-mail Thursday.
Defense attorneys, uniformed and civilian alike, began raising the unlawful command influence challenges after Amos toured every Marine facility earlier this year. The general's springtime speeches strongly denounced sexual assault, though the general said he never intended to steer specific trial conclusions.
"To the contrary, my decisions and actions are, and always have been, founded on and consistent with the law," Amos assured a military judge in a July 31 written statement.
Nonetheless, Baker said that at least 20 unlawful command influence challenges had been raised after the commandant's speeches and "more are pending." It's a remarkable development in a military hierarchy famed for its "ooh-rah" loyalty.
"The moral courage, professionalism and effectiveness of the (entire) Marine defense counsel in these cases demonstrate the effectiveness of the Marine Corps Defense Services Organization," Baker said.
Amos undertook his so-called "Heritage Brief" tour amid intense political pressure. In Congress, lawmakers have denounced what some call an "epidemic" of military sexual assault. Multiple bills have been introduced, class-action lawsuits have been filed and a survey of 2 percent of the military has yielded a widely quoted extrapolation that 19,000 service members are raped annually.
Amos used his tour to stress his own strong feelings about the 348 reported sexual assaults in the Marine Corps last year. In a roughly 75-minute talk intended for every Marine non-commissioned officer and officer, the career aviator demanded tougher punishment for those accused of sexual misconduct.
"Why have we become so soft?" Amos asked in a speech April 19 at Parris Island.
He further described himself as "very, very disappointed" in court-martial boards that don't expel those who misbehave sexually, and he denounced as "bullshit" claims that many sexual assault allegations amount to second thoughts from individuals who initially consented.
"I know fact from fiction," Amos declared, a transcript of his April 19 speech shows. "The fact of the matter is 80 percent of those are legitimate sexual assaults."
Put another way, the Marine Corps' top officer was telling his subordinates that 80 percent of those charged with sexual assault were guilty. He was demanding dismissals from the service, and suggesting that an alleged victim might be simply suffering from, as he phrased it, "buyer's remorse."
Amos later reinforced his comments, defying legal advice.
"My lawyers don't want me to talk about this, but I'm going to anyway," he said May 23 at California's Camp Pendleton, according to a defense legal filing. "The defense lawyers love when I talk about this, because then they can throw me under the bus later on and complain about unlawful command influence."
In response to questions, the Marine Corps referred to a two-page "white letter" July 12 in which Amos stressed that "the matter of whether or not a Marine committed a sexual assault, and what should happen, will be determined based on the facts presented."
"At no time did I directly or indirectly intend to dictate any course of action in any particular case or type of cases," Amos added in his July 31 court statement. "I don't believe (my audiences) misunderstood me or erroneously concluded that I was directing them to hold any particular point of view about these issues."
Nonetheless, Marine Corps Col. Daniel J. Daugherty said in a 26-page ruling quietly issued late Tuesday night that the commandant's speeches raised the appearance of unlawful command influence.
Daugherty is the chief judge of the Navy-Marine Corps Trial Judiciary. His decision doesn't bind other judges, but it could be influential as judges determine whether there's apparent or, even more seriously, actual command influence in a particular case.
Daugherty's ruling this week in a Parris Island case was the second time he'd found the appearance of problems arising from the commandant's speeches. Earlier this year, at the Marine Corps base in Quantico, Va., he also identified a potential command influence problem.
Quantico authorities accuse Staff Sgt. Tarrell D. Jiles of multiple counts of sexually harassing and touching fellow male Marines.
Jiles' Fort Worth, Texas-based attorney, Brian Bouffard, and his Marine Corps co-counsel, Capt. Christina Bobb, cited damning comments from Parris Island Marines to underscore the commandant's words. One officer acknowledged that in a close case, he'd side with the commandant, while a gunnery sergeant agreed with the commandant that eight out of 10 sexual assault allegations are valid.
"He basically primed them to find people guilty and kick them out," Bouffard said in an interview. "What the commandant did was not in keeping with the presumption of innocence."
Daugherty, the trial judge, concluded that the apparent unlawful command influence could be cured by steps such as giving defense attorneys additional opportunities to challenge potential jurors.
Another judge, in a sexual assault case at Twentynine Palms, has found enough evidence to require the prosecutors to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that there isn't the appearance of unlawful command influence. A final ruling will come before the trial starts in early November.
In the Twentynine Palms case, a Marine brigadier general decided to prosecute Sgt. Daniel Garcia and Sgt. Guillermo Martinez even though civilian law enforcement authorities had declined to, and had seriously questioned the alleged victim's credibility
In the Parris Island case, Marine Corps Staff Sgt. Steve Howell is accused of sexually assaulting the mother of a potential recruit. Howell maintains that any sexual contact was consensual, which is precisely the buyer's-remorse defense that Amos dismissed as invalid
"The problem is, Marines are not going to defy their leaders," said Erlanger, Ky.-based lawyer Ed Massey, who's helping represent Howell. "I don't think he can get a fair trial."
Daugherty took over the Howell case after the first trial judge, a Marine Corps lieutenant colonel, had rejected the unlawful command influence claim. This judge later moved off the case, and off the military bench altogether, after defense attorneys brought his harsh comments about Marine defendants to light.
"We need to go after these scumbags," the lieutenant colonel had told other attorneys, according to a defense filing that further quoted him as saying, "We need more convictions."

Drew Barrymore told E! Online that she's ready to play Dylan Sanders again in a third installment of the "Charlie's Angels" franchise:
"I'm so into it," Barrymore said while promoting her new star-filled romantic comedy, He's Just Not That Into You. "I'm so into itCharlie's Angels III!"
"It's percolating up," said Nancy Juvonen, Barrymore's Flower Films producing partner. "It's rising to the surface."
Barrymore added, "They're hard movies to make, but they're fun."
The first two films, directed by McG (Terminator Salvation), co-starred Cameron Diaz and Lucy Liu. They took in over $523 million at the worldwide box office.
The report goes on to say that "ideas are being kicked around, including the possible introduction of a fourth Angel." After having Demi Moore play the villainess in the second film, the third movie is expected to have another guy as the baddie.

I am wanting to do fruits ad veggies, for a center pieces, for my daughter's wedding reception. Do you have any ideas? Have you ever heard of this before?
That sounds like a wonderful and very unique idea. As a start, I would check online for places that do fruit bouquets as gifts. I would also suggest consulting with your florist. Best wishes.

Good evening!
I commonly chat with folks who are not clear about what the laws are with regard to the designation of "service animal". A friend sent me the following statement which is a summary of the new law and is more clear than I have seen in the past.
The new law came into effect this year in March and defines a service animal as the following:
"Any dog that is individually trained to do work or perform tasks for the benefit of an individual with a disability, including a physical, sensory, psychiatric, intellectual, or other mental disability. Other species of animals, whether wild or domestic, trained or untrained, are not service animals for the purposes of this definition. The work or tasks performed by a service animal must be directly related to the handler´s disability. Examples of work or tasks include, but are not limited to, assisting individuals who are blind or have low vision with navigation and other tasks, alerting individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing to the presence of people or sounds, providing non-violent protection or rescue work, pulling a wheelchair, assisting an individual during a seizure, alerting individuals to the presence of allergens, retrieving items such as medicine or the telephone, providing physical support and assistance with balance and stability to individuals with mobility disabilities, and helping persons with psychiatric and neurological disabilities by preventing or interrupting impulsive or destructive behaviors. The crime deterrent effects of an animal´s presence and the provision of emotional support, well-being, comfort, or companionship do not constitute work or tasks for the purposes of this definition."
The service law states that the only reason a service dog can be bared from admission is if it is not house broken or its not under the control of the owner. It also states that the owner can not be asked what their disability is, but they can be asked what service the dog provides, and if the animal is required due to a disability. The owner is not required to carry any documentation.
I'm glad to see that the law is written more clearly now. I have been witness to many situations in which the law was being abused. The worst was a situation where two dogs with one owner came into a small grocery store and dove into the bulk bins. The situation was very out of control, and the poor store owner who was of foreign decent and culture was upset but mystified as to what his rights were. The human end of those leashes was screaming that they were her service dogs. This is such a dis-service to anyone who really needs a dog and has one that is behaviorally appropriate. It would be great to see the law posted in store fronts so all could be educated.

Lana Del Rey strips naked for photoshoot
Pop star LANA DEL REY has stripped naked for a racy magazine photoshoot.
The Video Games hitmaker peeled off for a spread in GQ to celebrate being named the publication's Woman of the Year.
A daring image of the singer preserving her modesty by crossing her legs graces the cover of the magazine's October (12) edition, and another naked photograph of the star is published alongside an interview.
In other photos, Del Rey is shown covering her private parts with a net curtain, posing seductively in a figure-hugging white basque, spreadeagled on rocks wearing an elegant black gown and towering heels, and sitting in a chair while a man gropes her breasts.
Speaking of her Woman of the Year award, she tells the magazine, "Just to have someone acknowledge the material I write is incredibly touching. It's an affirmation of sorts."

Bacote was named to the All-Tournament team. The Monarchs trailed by only two at halftime, 29-27 with the help of balanced scoring and .500 shooting (10-20). Saint Louis jumped out to a 12-4 lead with 15:33 left in the half after a three-pointer by Rob Loe, but the Monarchs gradually rallied back and outscored the Billikens, 12-2 to take the lead at 16-14 with 8:26 left in the half after two free throws from Bacote. The first half saw five ties and nine lead changes. Ambrose Mosley's three-pointer put ODU up, 24-23, but Dwayne Evans came back for a bucket to put the Billikens up, 25-24, and held on for a 29-27 halftime lead. In the second half, sophomore Keenan Palmore's jumper to start the half tied the game at 29-29. Dwayne Evans then hit a free throw to put Saint Louis up for good, at 30-29. SLU would lead by as many as 13, 51-38 with 7:33 left, but two Mosley three-pointers cut the lead to seven at 51-44 with 6:32 to go, but the Monarchs could get no closer. Besides Bacote's 15 and Mosely's 12, Richard Ross added nine points and a game high nine rebounds. ODU again outrebounded a much taller opponent, 37-34. Freshman forward Denzell Taylor and Mosley both hauled down six boards each. Taylor and Dimitri Batten both came up with three steals each. Mosley drained 4-for-7 three-pointer shots. ODU shot .340 (18-53) from the floor .786 (11-14) from the free throw line, while Saint Louis shot .426 (23-54) from the field. The Billikens from the Atlantic-10 were led by Dwayne Evans with 21 points, followed by Rob Loe with ten.

Spinal Combo Breaks His Way Into Killer Instinct
The Southern California-based developers at Double Helix have recently announced the newest combatant to be joining the arenas of Killer Instinct. Everyone's favorite sword and shield wearing skeleton, Spinal, is going to be added to the roster by the end of January. Supreme Victory!
According to Eurogamer, those who bought the Ultra Edition of Killer Instinct will have access to Spinal before all other Killer Instinct players. As with the release of the previous characters, Spinal's addition also comes with 15 achievements that fighting game enthusiasts can unlock.
Combo enthusiasts at home can look forward to arcade mode and online lobbies being added to Killer Instinct this March. While No Mercies (KI's version of fatalities), are still nowhere in sight, Spinal rounds out the roster quite nicely.
