Located a few miles north of Interstate 80, is the incorporated town of Gretna. It has been the fastest growing city in the state of Nebraska since the census was taken in 2000. It currently shows a zip code area population of over 10,000, and has maintained its small town charm and friendliness while adding many amenities.
The core of the city is a main street surrounded by well maintained homes constructed since the late 1800's to present day. In 1886 a short line railroad was built between Ashland and Omaha. Lincoln Land Company saw the advantages of platting a village on the railroad line and development came quickly with the town incorporated in 1889. A group of early settlers were Scottish immigrants and the town was named Gretna after the Scottish city of Gretna Green.
Today, with easy access to the Interstate, many people live in Gretna and work in Omaha. They are attracted to Gretna's highly-rated school system and many youth and community activities; soccer, baseball, and football, as well as swimming and kid-friendly library programs. There are also churches of many faiths, as well as new homes found in developments surrounding the town.
With a growing employment base, a new high-end retail shopping center, plans for additional schools, and a proposal for a YMCA facility, Gretna citizens have much to look forward to.

Lubbock High School's orchestra director, Alejos Anaya, resumed teaching duties on Monday after the resolution of his arrest Nov. 7 on a marijuana charge.
Anaya, 34, has been on paid administrative leave from the school district until the case was resolved and an investigation by the State Board of Educator Certification was complete.
A Facebook page encouraging LISD to reinstate the teacher had a photo of Anaya returning to class and had garnered 188 likes on his return.
On Dec. 6, Anaya pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor marijuana possession charge, a plea offer from the Criminal District Attorney's office, in exchange for deferred adjudication.
The charge, possession of less than two ounces of marijuana, is a Class B misdemeanor. Deferred adjudication is a form of probation in which the judge delays an actual finding for a period of time. If the defendant successfully completes the terms of probation, the judge dismisses the charge.
Lubbock Independent School District Superintendent Karen Garza said in a news release Tuesday that Anaya was reinstated because of his "stellar teaching record" and after agreeing to several conditions, including changing his contract to a probationary contract.
"We are pleased to put this matter to rest and continue the outstanding orchestra program at Lubbock High School," Garza said in the news release.
In an email, Anaya said commenting further on his absence from school "would be counter-productive."
"However, I would be remiss without thanking those instructors who were charged with picking up the slack and preparing the students so competently while I was away," he said. "I look forward to moving ahead with the wonderful students at LHS with whom I feel privileged to work. Furthermore, I am very grateful to work in a district that is so committed to its students and makes their welfare the top priority. LISD is a wonderful place to work."

Creative pursuits are getting easier and easier to go after these days, especially ones involving technology. For a long time, expensive software with steep learning curves has been prohibitive for newcomers to the world of digital creativity. Animation has long been a field affected by such problems – software from companies like Autodesk and Adobe runs hundreds if not thousands of dollars. This is certainly not something the amateur animator is going to be excited to invest in.
Luckily, a number of developers over the past couple of years have put out some great software for amateur animators. These programs allow you to make simple animations, stop-motion videos, time lapses and much more. The apps I've included are all under the $50 benchmark, with many available for $10 or less. Stick with me after the jump to learn about the great variety of software available for the home animator.

Negotiate Terms with Your Food Truck Suppliers
When you find a supplier or multiple suppliers who appear to fit the needs of your food truck business, you have to negotiate terms to your business relationship with them. Be sure to settle all your business terms before locking into any food supplier. Some of these terms may include the following:
Product prices: Negotiating product prices is part of your discussion with any supplier. The first and most obvious way to get a better price is to ask for it, yet few people do.
Also, never accept a supplier's first offer. If you do, you may find that extra charges begin to appear because the salesperson thinks you'll just accept them. Start low and trade every concession for something specific that you value.
Another avenue to follow during your negotiations is to seek other benefits than just product prices. Before narrowing the discussion down to price, find out what else the supplier may be able to do for you, such as give you extended payment terms or offer you lower delivery charges if you agree to let him deliver when it suits him.
Although salespeople may not be able to give you additional discounts, their marketing department may be able to contribute in other ways, by providing your truck with a free branded refrigerator if you sell its brand of soda, for example. Suppliers often have a separate marketing budget and are eager to find good ways to spend it.
Item quantity: For the products you purchase, you want to be assured that the standards in item quantity are maintained. Provide the supplier a copy of your supply list and have him help you determine the average unit amount you need to order each week to meet your projected weekly volume.
For example, your supplier can help you figure out whether you need to order a 50-pound sack of flour every other week to meet your baking needs.
Payment terms: The industry standard is to pay suppliers within 30 days or less from the time you receive your supplies, but some suppliers may offer you more flexibility, so be sure you know these terms before you sign any type of agreement.
Delivery schedule: Most suppliers across the country work with other companies in addition to yours, so you may need to negotiate a delivery schedule that works for both parties. Don't schedule your weekly deliveries when your truck will be on the road. Most food truck owners choose either early morning or weekend deliveries.

Setting up your workstation for Joomla! development
From Joomla! Documentation
Not sure if this is the right place for this -
This is an excellent page. Probably the best I've yet used on this site. Detailed and clear.
As it brings in a lot of different applications, its hard to know where to go for support on particular issues - a table or some such with the relevant support forums or channels would help a lot.
My particular problem - Everything works fine and tests fine but when I go to use xDebug in Eclipse as described, the 'break at first line' or explicit setting of breakpoints are ignored. The session terminates and the page appears as if they were not there.
There is probably some 'obvious' global setting I've missed but I can't find any solution through google although I have found a few threads by people with the same problem (and no solution).

Please Post a Question to Joomla! Coding 101 Forum
Hi. Why don't you post your question to the Joomla! Coding 101 Forum. I'll try to look for it, and there are probably people there who know way more about this than I do. Thanks. Mark Dexter 18:57, 25 August 2008 (EDT)
About not deleting the "Installation" folder
The tutorial says "you don't have to or don't want to delete the "installation" folder" and then goes on and says that if you run "administrator/index.php" you will see the admin login page. but this doesn't happen since the installation folder hasn't been deleted. what is shown is the warning to delete the folder.
Hi. That's interesting. On my system, when I run through Eclipse, it works fine without deleting the installation folder. That's why I put that information in there. Honestly, I don't understand why you don't get the warning the way you normally do. Are you running from inside Eclipse or just from the browser? In any case, you might want to post this question in the Joomla Development Forum, since those people know a lot more about this than I do. Mark Dexter 10:58, 7 September 2008 (EDT)
would be really nice to know how to fix the current conflict with zend and xdebug. PHP Fatal error: [Zend Optimizer] Zend Optimizer 3.3.3 is incompatible with Xdebug 2.0.3 in Unknown on line 0 which causes apache to promptly shutdown. I don't know which to turn off, zend or xdebug --N6REJ 13:56, 23 December 2008 (UTC) Troy
the php_xdebug should be commented out
Sorry.... reverted my changes. My install is still crashing. Others are having the same issue, I have to find out what the definitive fix is.
Vista Issue with xdebug
Hi. Are you running Windows Vista? If so, the xdebug DLL that is included with XAMPP doesn't work. You need to download the DLL file from the XDebug website. See the instructions here: Setting_up_your_workstation_for_Joomla!_development#Edit_PHP.INI_File. Mark Dexter 16:56, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
Mark installed XAMPP on 64 bit Vista, however I am (still) finding installing XAMPP 32 bit Vista to be a significant headache. this by the way appears not to be an XAMPP problem by an Apache+XDebug+Vista problem.
I first had difficulty getting both Apache & mySQL to run at the same time - permission issues were reported. I *think* I solved that by right clicking on the XAMMP installation file and selecting "Run as adminstrator".
Having got both Apache & mySQL going together, I tried running XAMPP default screen & phpInfo with php_xdebug.dll (as supplied), php_xdebug-2.0.2-5.2.5.dll (just because I had it) and php_xdebug-2.0.4-5.2.8.dll (as recommended). All failed, occasionally after raising my hopes just enough...
Now I find that I can't start Apache (ERROR: Apache service not started [1]) and I can't stop mySQL (ERROR: MySql service not stopped [1]).
At present, I'm going to keep googling "apache xdebug vista" and see if anything turns up. --Pete Nurse 06:00, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
Vista Issues
Hi Pete. I am currently working with the Xdebug dll php_xdebug-2.0.2-5.2.5.dll. I am still working this out, but it appears that the more recent one, php_xdebug-2.0.4-5.2.8.dll, sometimes crashes Apache. With the earlier DLL I am able to debug and run normally, at least so far.
I am having two issues. (1) How to start apache and mysql automatically. (2) When I run phing, I get the annoying "CLI has stopped working" message. It works fine and doesn't cause any problems -- just annoying. So, why don't you try that dll and see if that works for me. And if you have the autostart figured out, please let me know. Thanks. Mark Dexter 13:44, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
Solved crashing issue Apache - XAMPP 1.7 for Win Vista 32 - with XDebug
I uncommented extension=php_xdebug.dll in the Dynamic Extensions section of php.ini
All is fine now. Apache was crashing repeatedly even with the latest xdebug.dll
I am not sure why this needs to be in the Dynamic Extensions section as later in the php.ini file the library is referenced as zend_extension_ts="C:\xampp\php\ext\php_xdebug.dll"
More on the Vista/Apache/XDebug Nexus
On 32-bit Vista, I think I've managed to tame the problem. (Note "tamed" rather than "control"!)
The procedure is as follows:-
- Install XAMPP using the right click/Run as administrator. I'm not totally sure that Run as administator is necessary here but it can't hurt.
- Replace the supplied php_xdebug.dll with php_xdebug-2.0.4-5.2.8.dll (as discussed in the main document).
- Update php.ini line (change this to suit your installation) from
- Start XAMPP using Run as administrator - this is extremely important.
- Check operation by clicking the Apache Admin button in the XAMPP Control Panel.
- I find the previous step often fails with Apache turning itself off and giving the following error
Connection Interrupted The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading. The network link was interrupted while negotiating a connection. Please try again.
- Restart Apache and recheck as many times as necessary before it runs correctly.
I have found that once Apache runs reliably, it's good until I reboot the PC.
More art than science I'll admit, but at least it works for me! --Pete Nurse 23:08, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
Vista 64/Xdebug
I finally got my Vista-64 machine to work nicely with xdebug. The final solution was the one that Mark suggested of going backlevel on xdebug (instead of the most recent as the page suggests). My apache 2.2 was crashing with "Parent: child process exited with status 255 -- Restarting" in the apache log file.
My configuration: Vista/64 ultimate; Apache2.2; PHP 5.2.6; php_xdebug-2.0.2-5.2.5.dll
This was very frustrating getting this to work, but the few minutes of xdebug I had between crashes were so enticing, I had to keep plugging away at it. Much better that the code tab of Dreamweaver!
To autostart Apache & Mysql on a windows machine, you want to go to services and change the start type to auto.
Start/type "Services" Right click on Apache, select Properties Select "automatic" from the startup type dropdown menu.
Do the same to MySql.
Now that I have this set, time to get back to working on my application for summer of code...
Thanks for the great documentation, by the way! Andy

Spoke too soon
The fix wasn't as stable as I'd hoped. My periodic crashes have become more frequent and I just had to comment out xdebug to allow joomlapack to run without crashing.
One more try with Vista 64 that's working
Mark suggested dropping all the way back to php_xdebug-2.0.0-5.2.2.dll. That has been working successfully for a short time now, so I have my fingers crossed. So if you are having problems on a Vista 64 machine, try that.
Sueter 15:27, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
I just wanted to add to this since a spend a fair amount of time going around with this problem. I have a Windows Vista Ultimate SP2, 64 bit machine. I have installed XAMPP 1.7.1. What ended up working is what was installed with XAMPP. The php_xdebug.dll in the XAMPP install. When I tried using any other version of the php_xdebug.dll the apache server did not work. Hope this helps.

Refactoring article into smaller pieces
Hi, all. Thank you to everyone who has built up this wonderful article. It was very helpful to me as I got my workstation set up.
I think that this article is big and complex enough that it would benefit from being broken down into smaller pieces. I would like to add my lessons learned to the article. This means adding a step, setting up multiple virtual hosts in multiple separate development directories, and also adding platform and tool variations, e.g. EasyEclipse for PHP on Mac OS X. The article is barely manageable now. Adding a few more pieces like these would make it too complex, I think.
I propose keeping this article as an overview, with links off to the subarticles. The overview would be broken into several steps, each step getting one piece of functionality working and having a measurable end-point (web pages displaying, stepping in debugging working, etc.). There could be multiple articles for each step, showing different ways to accomplish that goal, or telling a different story for a particular platform.
Comments? Objections? JimDeLaHunt 07:35, 27 November 2009 (UTC)
My only concern is that it be easy to follow in a step-by-step process for new users, without having to follow too many links. Maybe one way to do it would be by platform: Windows, Linux, and Mac. Each user is only going to be interested in one of these platforms, so allowing them to skip information for other platforms would make sense. Even if there is some duplication for information that applies to all platforms, I don't think this would be too bad. Those are my thoughts. Mark Dexter 16:39, 27 November 2009 (UTC)
Changing XDebug Port: Substantial Reason or Misleading Advice?
Thanks a lot for this helpful article!
I wonder what the reason is to change the default port of XDebug from 9000 to 10000. When reading the article for the first time I anticipated a port conflict within the suite of XAMPP and EclipsePDT or a nasty bug or some other serious problem - wild guessing, though! But there is no problem with port 9000 at least not for me. So the basic motivation seems to be a conflict with some other software on the author's workstation? Btw: There was a conflict with port 10000 on mine! Consquently it took me some time not to ignore the "Port is already in use" message of EclipsePDT, find out that there was another application and finally switch back to port 9000 ;-) So, my suggestion to improve this (in spite of everything) very good article is to stay with default port 9000 for a first try and to direct the reader back to the section of configuring the port of XDebug when EclipsePDT unruly complains that the "Port is already in use". Willy 25.Dec.2009 20:45 UTC
I don't remember why the port change. It could well be specific to Windows or some other software I had installed. If you want to edi the article as you suggest, I don't have any objections. Mark Dexter 00:32, 26 December 2009 (UTC)
Eclipse 3.4.2
Agreed on the greatness of the article, however...
running Eclipse 3.4.2 (under Fedora 11 linux) it doesn't look like the examples at all, there's no "Run as web page", and a whole lot of other things.
I expect it would be easy for a seasoned Eclipse user to bridge the gap, but I'm brand new to Eclipse, although nearly thirty years (damn! Is it that long?) into software development. Makes it even more frustrating to be hitting my head against this brick wall :(
I get the same problem mentioned elsewhere, I can do the setup but I must be missing something because running my Joomla project homepage (on the internal Eclipse browser, or indeed an external FF instance) just gives me the page, taking no notice of the breakpoints I set.
Am I missing something 3.4.2 specific?
It looks like the "Coding 101" forum has gone, not sure if that's what the link given above is to, but it doesn't work. The "Coding Joomla 1.5" forum says "Don't post here, join the email group" :-( --Mark 19:10, 24 May 2010 (UTC)
The current Eclipse version is 3.5.x. So 3.4.2 is one year out of date. Maybe that's part of the problem, I don't know for sure. I would suggest downloading per the instructions in the article. Good luck. Mark Dexter 16:24, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
test with xdebug
A marvellous tutorial to learn jumla and to develop joomla in eclipse!! But i was disapointed, because debugging with the small scipt test.php doesnt work! it seams that the debug as.. runs without "break on the first line!". a extra beaekpoint placed on the first ligne did'nt help as well. Have You any tips whe he can examine to correct this? Regards! igonasu
Usually this is because there is a problem with the port number. I would re-check that you have the correct port set up in Eclipse and in your php.ini file. Also, make sure you re-start Apache after changing any settings. Good luck! Mark Dexter 15:25, 1 November 2010 (UTC)
I restarded my system and i can choose 2 debug sessions. the first one crashes but the second session seemms to run. I will test it tomorrow.
Do You now why two sessions of test.php debug exists?! regards!
Problems with MySQL 5.5.x and beyond....
An excellent summary and very helpful.
Might be a good idea to mention that mysql 5.5.x and beyond does NOT work with the 1.5 install due to the removal of TYPE=
Mysql 5.1.37 does work...
Hi. I believe this will be fixed in version 1.5.3. Thanks. Mark Dexter 00:25, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
To debug your site, not Joomla itself
I am using eclipse to debug my particular sites not to make patches for the Joomla core.
I have found the following to work, there may be a better way, I'm still new at this.
- create a new php project
- navigate to the new project in the PHP Explorer
- use akeeba backup to make a copy of your site
- expand the backup in a temporary folder outside of the workspace
- use file/import/general/file system to bring in all of the resources (files and folders) for the entire site
- run the install
Actually just found an easier way
- create the project and select "Create project at existing location"
- for me, the project is already in my MAMP root folder 'htdocs'
- be sure to use exactly the same name as the current htdocs folder for the project name
- this does create a couple hidden files in the folder that you'll want to be sure don't go up to your production site.
Added new article for extension development
Great idea! See Setting up your workstation for extension development. Mark Dexter 02:08, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
Error in "Recommended eclipse settings"
Don´t know about Linux machines, but on Windows Systems the line starting with "plugins" must have a "/" instead of "\", or eclipse will throw an error on startup, mentioning, that it can't find the corresponding launcher.
For Windows the correct syntax must be:
--mk2-design 15:14, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
Well, on my XP and Vista machines, that syntax works fine with Eclipse 3.4. Mark Dexter 22:02, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
Extension Installation
I was able to get through it on my own, but I noticed this tutorial doesn't provide any guidance as to installing extensions in Eclipse. Specifically, I had no SVN enabling extension installed by default, but in the tutorial it seems like I should. Maybe a link to a help topic, or acknowledgment that I might need to install some extensions?
Hi. This is the second part of the article. In the first part, it guides you through installing SVN for Eclipse. Here is the link: Setting_up_your_workstation_for_Joomla!_development#Install_Eclipse_Subversion. Mark Dexter 22:09, 1 October 2009 (UTC)
Not prompted for username and password when Check Out Joomla Source
>When it asks for the username and password, use "anonymous" as the username and leave the password blank.
I didn't get prompted for a username and password as per the instructions. To solve I had to change the following setting:
preferences->team->SVN->SVN Interface->Client
Change from JavaHL to SVNKit
Change in default path in Eclipse 2.2
See eclipse bug https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=330744
Note the instructions at the bottom, for each project, go into properties, php-debug and set the appropriate path
Merge Warning!
Hello Hutchy68,
Just a warning. I don't know if this is a personal view or a more general view. Though I have edited these pages alot, I got that view not from myself, but from the way it was done before. Anyway, my view is as follows:
There is definitely a difference between all the "Setting up your workstation for..." pages. They seem to me a bit as follows: - for Joomla! development: This is specific for joomla developers, meaning the developers who really work on the core and have to uphold certain standards and certain choices (like coding standards, git as version control, etc..) - for joomla development: This is for everyone who would like to develop in joomla (extension, etc.) with more choices - for extension development: Speaks for itself.
I don't know if there were more, but I liked the difference between them. Some topics overlap and maybe there could be a better structure with the same distinctions, but I wonder if merging (even only) the above two is a good idea? (Unless the distinctions are very clearly made in the merged page, but then maybe the details of joomla (core) developers should be seperate pages? Thinkg out loud.) Just stating my experience and impression as a Docs-writer and -user. Not sure if it's the right one. :-) E-motiv (former E-builds) (talk)
- Thanks for your input, it is appreciated! Yes, we need to distinguish between the 2 types better. We are moving towards, Joomla!_Code_Contributors(this would include bug squad pages or a mix) vs. extension, template, plugin and module Developers. Perhaps, a rename to distinguish between the two pages? I'm open to suggestions. We still have a huge task ahead of us. We are shrinking(compacting and archiving) while at the same time building a better user structure. Docs is getting better, but it is still a mess with way too much overlap and redundant material, uncategorised pages and no set guidelines for article content types. Rough start of structure(subject to change), but it's the first draft of planning, JDOC:Documentation_Navigational_Structure
- We need to take a long look at what is and isn't in the scope of JDOCs too. Ex, how to setup a localhost server for development. What Joomla! needs on the localhost, yes! Not a step by step of do this, then that. We can't even keep up with what we should be documenting for the project, let alone a step by step of how to setup a server, or install XAMPP, LAMP, etc. All we are doing is repeating tutorials already on the download sites(probably not keeping them up-to-date anyway).
- We need someone(or many) to step up and help out. I'd greatly appreciate it if you'd help create a structure for these types of pages. Help distinguish between the two. First, you'd need to see what just a few us are seeing. I'll email you. Thanks Tom Hutchison (talk) 12:04, 15 September 2013 (CDT)
- Oh, boy, am I going to disappoint you now! I'm sorry(!), but I really don't have the time lately to help out with it. (*) I was just communicating the value of the distinction so we don't lose it in the further plannings.. I can however wish you strength, courage and luck with it all. :-) For the record, I won't further discuss how this precise page of merge should be handled. I trust that, now that my view is given, you will choose the best option for it.
- (*) I think I am also a victim of my own efforts in many open sources (but also other kind of volunteering), which leaves me now with an urgent quest for a new income. :-( (I wish the world was money-less, like Star Trek and I could just help you right now, but alas..)
- That's ok, I totally understand. Keeping with the Star Trek theme, it is time to take some serious steps. "The needs of the many out weigh, the needs of the few." We will just rename them, one using Code Contributor, the other Developer. Tom Hutchison (talk) 14:18, 15 September 2013 (CDT)

First off, are crossing guards in the U.K really called lollipop ladies and men? If it is true, is it because their signs look like lollipops. Or even more creepily, do they hand out lollipops to kids? Regardless, these men and women are now being equipped with helmet-mounted cameras to catch aggressive motorists. Apparently, drivers aren't as nice to these lollipop-passing-out guardians of the walkways. There have been 1,400 incidents of aggressive lollipop haters was recorded last year with dozens of crossing guards needing hospitalization.
The cameras are either mounted to a hat worn by the crossing guard or in their "lollipop." The camera is then attached to an Archos portable recording unit and the footage can be used in court to bust the offenders. Failing to stop for a crossing guard is punishable by up to £2,000 and three penalty points over the pond. Lollipops and video cameras? If this were a story in the U.S. it would be about a pedophile.

In this digital age we live in, no business can survive well without a website. Because it is essential, you'll find plenty of ways to develop and design them through profession web development services.
A successful web presence allows new businesses to strive and survive in the competitive market. Because a website is your online business, it is very important to pay attention to every little detail once you develop. Whatever impression your website gives out is going to leave a mark on your business. Sadly, a number of websites when developed score high when it comes to visual appeal. However, they fail to engage the users.
If you're running a new business, here are some reasons a good website is so vital to your business.
1. Reaching Potential Customers
If you've managed to develop a good website, this is ultimately your avenue to attract new customer towards your business. This is particularly helpful because as a new business, your website will always promote when you're not able to do it yourself.
Through the involvement of social media, a good website is one of the finest ways to attract new customers to the business. This is the first step to establishment that would help you to survive successfully in the market.
2. Create Brand Awareness
The goals of a new business in the initial stages are merely to create the correct brand awareness. Realistically, the profit expectations are lowered because the business is still trying to be known in the market.
This is where a great website plays the key role. Even when the people are leisurely reading the content on your website, this helps them to know there are new services in the market.
Because a website leaves ever lasting impressions, developers need to pay special attention to the design and content of the website.
3. Speedy Communication
You can't be everywhere, despite all the best efforts you put in. Why would you need to make the effort when you've developed a functional website?
The fast-track communication that can be enjoyed through the website is one of the finest ways to establish and build lifelong relationships. Feedback forms, reviews, comments and newsletters help you to connect with the customers in the best way. This also helps to solve issues the earliest possible without the customer making the hassle to find you in person.
4. Direct Reflection of Principles
Your website is going to be the ultimate business card and so much more. This gives you all the more reasons to plan it in depth and reflect all your goals and ambitions through the functional website.
Arguably, whatever you present on the website reflects your business. Since most of the clients won't visit you in person, a good website is going to create all the best impressions for your business.
If it appears professional, customers are likely to view your business in the same dimension. If it isn't friendly for the users, it is likely to have adverse affects on your business. Carefully planning and professional services can help you to devise the perfect website for your company.
5. Reach Global Markets
Expansion is an important business goal for any entrepreneur. Luckily, websites allow you to expand to the global markets in the best way. You may be doing excellent in the local market, but what's better than to get orders from all corners of the globe?

"Ouch" was the first thought I had upon hearing Matt's car got towed in New York City hours just after getting there. There's nothing worse than having to get a car out of impound. Unless it's a car that isn't yours. Unless it's a car that isn't yours and it involves the NYPD. Yeah, that hurts.
Big cities, and New York is certainly one of them, have some of the most frustrating bureaucracies for what should be simple matters like getting a towed car back. You always wonder how bad it's going to be and how many hoops you'll have to jump through. All things considered, Matt's story could've been worse.
Hell, it could've really soured his impression of New York, if what HammerheadFistpunch suggests happened:
And that's when the CHUDs came after me
Yes, much, much worse.

Cards' Miller reflects on his heroes for Father's Day
NEW YORK -- Shelby Miller is making his mark in a sport whose fans loosely throw around the term "hero." It is not a descriptor, Miller says, he wants attached to his name.
The son of a firefighter, the grandson of a Vietnam War veteran, Miller knows the makeup of a true hero. He has heard his grandfather share stories of sacrifice, watched his father serve 20 years at a Texas firehouse that saves lives. Throwing a baseball simply doesn't carry the same significance.
NEW YORK -- Shelby Miller is making his mark in a sport whose fans loosely throw around the term "hero." It is not a descriptor, Miller says, he wants attached to his name.
The son of a firefighter, the grandson of a Vietnam War veteran, Miller knows the makeup of a true hero. He has heard his grandfather share stories of sacrifice, watched his father serve 20 years at a Texas firehouse that saves lives. Throwing a baseball simply doesn't carry the same significance.
But who he has become as a Major League pitcher and who he has grown into as a man were shaped by his two heroes, both of whom were integrally involved in his upbringing. With Father's Day approaching -- the first that will pass with Miller as a Major Leaguer -- the Cardinals rookie reflected on the impact each has had on his life.
It is a 250-mile drive, through Abilene, from Brownwood, Texas, to Odessa, forever immortalized in H.G. Bissinger's non-fiction novel about a football-crazed town. The setting for "Friday Night Lights" could well have been in Brownwood, said Miller, whose hometown brags of its seven state titles.
So, of course, Miller played football, earning accolades as a punter and a wide receiver in high school. He played basketball and soccer while growing up, too.
But his father, Mitch Miller, also had some foresight, believing that when it came to career longevity, baseball would give his son the best chance at staying healthy enough to earn a college scholarship. It was also the sport that had been Mitch's first love.
While Shelby jokes that he inherited his athletic genes from his mother's side of the family, Mitch played Little League and summer ball growing up. Years later, he'd jump at the chance to coach Shelby's teams from ages 7 to 15. Though dissecting and teaching mechanics were not his strengths, Mitch's ability to instill passion and work ethic rubbed off on his son.
"He always made sure that I was getting my work in, and if I didn't do something right, he would be on me," Shelby said. "He always had me on time to where I needed to be. He always made sure I had a new glove every year, all the things that a kid would want. He definitely did it the right way. I don't think I would be where I am today without him and his help."
As Shelby began to excel in high school, Mitch worked around his schedule at the firehouse as best he could in order to be at all of Brownwood's games. He held a 24-hours-on, 48-hours-off schedule and had the flexibility to trade shifts, when needed. If he did have to work, he and some of his fellow firefighters would often just pull the fire truck up to the high school field.
And if there was no better option, Mitch would settle for the high school radio broadcasts.
Even into Shelby's teenage years, Mitch continued to push. He'd encourage Shelby to play catch when he came home from football practice, ensuring that Shelby stayed in baseball shape no matter what sport was in season. During Shelby's sophomore year, Mitch added a new kink to the throwing routine, too.
He had read an online article about the benefits of throwing weighted balls and so he bought a set. He'd have Shelby go out to a nearby park and throw the weighted balls at a fence. Shelby would start with the heaviest and work his way down.
"Then by the time you started throwing a regular baseball," Shelby recalled, "it would feel like you were throwing 100 mph. I think that's when I started throwing harder. I think that really might have helped."
It was about that time, too, that Mitch began to understand just how talented a son he had tutored. After a high school game that season, an opposing player from a rival high school approached Shelby insisting that he play on his summer select team. Once the high school season wrapped up, Shelby joined the team.
Playing against older competition, Shelby shined his first time on the mound. Coaches came up to Mitch afterward and poured on the flattery.
"They said he was really good," Mitch said. "I always knew he could throw the ball fast and that he got a lot of strikeouts, but in our area, the talent pool wasn't as big. I knew he could do what he could do here [in Brownwood], but once he got to where he was doing the same thing [in] other places, it was evident that he could do more."
Mitch said he still can't believe the kid he had throw weighted balls at a fence has emerged as a National League Rookie of the Year Award candidate and an NL All-Star hopeful this season. A man who once hoped that Shelby's talent would earn him a free college education now lives in a home his son purchased with his first-round signing bonus.
Father and son talk at least every other day, and Mitch hasn't missed watching any of Shelby's starts this season.
"He loves the game as much as I do," Shelby said. "I just respect him so much. He's been a huge influence on my life. He's not only a great dad to me, but he's a great person."
Charles Pruett -- a man who everyone calls Chuck -- knows to expect the phone call on the eve of each of his grandson's start. Shelby never forgets.
They'll talk about baseball, yes, but about much more, too. In a recent call, Chuck shared the story of the day he learned he had been drafted into the United States Army. He was 20 years old, and he didn't want to go. He knew, however, that willingness was not a prerequisite.
The story struck Shelby, who thought back to how he had spent the 20th year of his life.
"I was playing professional baseball," Shelby said. "I put myself in his shoes and couldn't imagine being in a war in another country."
Before serving in the military, Chuck was a star high school running back. Shelby jokes that even at age 64, his grandfather "still doesn't slow down."
While Chuck was not as hands-on with Shelby during his formative baseball years, he was omnipresent. Making the 20-mile drive from the tiny town of May to Brownwood, Chuck would take his place down the line, along the fence, never watching Shelby play from the stands. Shelby learned to expect a hug and congratulations from him when he walked off the field.
Grandpa repeated another thing to Shelby, too -- still does, actually. "Go for broke," he'll say. Shelby guesses the phrase has origins in Chuck's military days, but he appreciates the meaning. Go for it all. Don't leave anything out there. Put it all on the line.
That house Shelby purchased for his parents was designed with an apartment over the four-car garage. Shelby's plan was to make that his place. Instead, his grandfather moved in, ensuring he would be closer to the rest of the family.
"He taught me how to be an all-around good person," Shelby said. "He's just funny to be around. He's unique and he's been through a lot. He's had a lot of learning experiences. He's the proudest grandpa ever because of what I do. He brags all the time."
Chuck has not seen Shelby since his grandson left for Spring Training, where Shelby won the fifth-starter job and has since been one of the NL's top starters. That's about to change. The family has made plans to travel to St. Louis next weekend, where they'll see Shelby pitch against the Rangers -- the team Chuck used to follow most closely.
"I think," Shelby said, "he'll get a kick out of being there."

Earlier in the summer, we took a short but very sweet jaunt across the globe, to spend three days in Tokyo, seeing the sights, indulging in some very fancy, Michelin-starred meals, and drinking a lot of entirely delicious Champagne, morning noon and night — all thanks to the launch of a beautiful new, limited-edition bottle of Perrier-Jouet's Belle Epoque Floral Edition wine (newly available in the U.S., in case you're looking to step up your bottle service game).
Tough life, we know. As expected, we had a pretty amazing trip, starting with cocktails atop Chanel and ending with a beautifully over-the-top event to celebrate the Champagne launch followed by a very cool trip to the greenery-filled studio of the artist who created the bottle design. Along the way, we snapped a ton of pics, and we're sharing them ahead. Try not to be too jealous.

This is just a heads up that a similar deal to one we covered earlier this month has popped up on 1 Sale A Day again. The Lumia 900 is listed for $220, which is an absolute bargain for a decent smartphone. While it may be refurbished (certified by AT&T), it'll still provide a rich user experience especially with the Windows Phone 7.8 update rolling out.
1 year manufacturer warranty is included in the deal. If you're interested in picking one up, be sure to act soon as there's only 14 hours remaining at the time of writing.

I too have had this problem. Tested on three different PCs. Strange... This was with the seamonkey ISO that was annouced on Distrowatch.
Edit: I noticed that I put the cd into a scsi cdrom drive. Puppy did boot when I switched to the ide cdrom drive on one of the PCs. My 2.8 ghz machine didn't like it in it's ide drive though. The machine that booted is an 10 year old 500mhz. Strange...

Post subject: Problems and recommendations
1. Seamonkey has been chosen as the default, central internet suite for Puppy. So be it. Overall a good choice. But let's use a recent, complete version that works with important extensions, for example GPG. (Slackware's package is apparently not satisfactory in this case.) Suggest compiling a complete ver 1.1.4. And let's not go overboard to make Puppy run in computers with tiny rams - they're on the way out.
2. We need a consistent package handling system. Slaptget should be fine when it arrives, thank goodness, but there is a lot of legacy compatibility and menu stuff to be sorted. The current experimental Slaptget.pet add-on for ver. 3 is incomplete, unreliable, menus don't work, causes sytem lockups. Sorry, but at least that's my experience.
3. Puppy is a wonderfully compact and fast system. Roxfiler is excellent but will not be loved by naive windows refugees. So be it, we can't please eveyone. Please, no KDE. However, we could pay more attention to human factors. As mentioned repeatedly, Pfind, PSI, and Pdict all force one to grab the mouse instead of continuing keying to enter. Small, but annoying. Omitting local help files is necessary for compactness and internet help links are more up to date; applications should have such links available where practical. It's frustrating to need help but be unable to find it without a search.
4. Gxine is the chosen default MM player, and a good one. MM is always a diverse headache, but Gxine in Puppy has seemingly forever been incomplete and confusing, and the current inability to use full screen should not have been overlooked.
5. I am a user, not a developer, and have been extremely interested in promoting and seeing Puppy succeed - on a large scale, not just for my own use. Barry has done wonders on the internal machinery, but more help is needed to smooth the rough edges and have things work as reasonably expected. I still envision a Puppy that regular people use productively, not just for "fun" in figuring it out. 2.17.1 is very reliable and mature at the basic functions, but when one tries to do things a little out of the ordinary it can get difficult. Scanning, e.g. although these problems are mostly not peculiar to Puppy, but to the lack of Linux drivers and applications.
Puppy 3 is I reckon still a beta in fact if not name - as most computer systems are. But it will I hope "get there" in my lifetime - and Barry's.
Welcome back, MU, and others like you. OK, I'm ready to dodge - I do mean well.

maddog: There is a long running thread:
that tells you that scsi doesn't boot in Puppy, but does read and write to scsi drives.
Booting from a scsi CDdrive is a much, much older paradox - you need DOS drivers to see it. 'doze eventually solved the problem with a floppy boot disc with ASPI drivers supplied by Adaptec.
However, as you read from the above thread, one guy has solved booting from scsi (perhaps only the HD?) for Puppy, too.
Until Barry finds the time and inclination to make this apparently minor adjustment, you can use DSL or one of the major distros. DSL has always been able to boot installations from scsi hard drives. Unix was entirely based on scsi HW, so it's something of a conundrum that some distros struggle with it - everything needed is in the kernel, always has been.
You could write to Barry to encourage him when he returns from the Perth Show next week? Several of us have, but he's a very busy guy! After all, that scsi thread (there are others, too) has received thirteen thousand+ hits - and I'll only admit to a dozen or so, myself.

Post subject: Another note on problems and recommendations
Thanks for your tolerance of my forthright observations above. Here's more, not version 3 specific, but not to be overlooked as part of the whole.
Any "distro" has to do a lot of testing to be palatable to the public. Puppy has done well at developing innovative mechanisms, such as the Petget package manager (soon to be augmented/superseded by Gslapt?) But volunteers are needed to test/fix user type items.
In the Petget manager I just now looked at three things at random:
Bluefish - 0.7 There has never been such a version, yet it sort of installs.
Galculator 1.2.4 "installs" and appears in the menu but doesn't run.
Gphoto 2.1.6. I don't know what this is; there's no description. It cites dependencies it can't find and I can't find. It "installs," doesn't appear in the menu and won't run.
Maybe there's something wrong with my Puppy in particular but if so no indication. Such things can leave an ordinary user scratching his head.

Post subject: Live cd boot issues
I have been trying to revive an older laptop, and have a few issues with trying to get it to boot the 3.0 Puppy live cd.
Right after the Perform a 'switch_root' to the new Unionfs filesystem is done, it starts this:
modprobe: FATAL: Error running install command for binfmt_0000 and it just repeats that error forever until I ctl-alt-del.
I found a copy of puppy 2.13 and it boots just fine.
Any help is appreciated.
ps. Its a Compaq Armada E500 laptop with PIII 500 and 128meg. PCMCIA D-link wireless adapter installed.

Armadas are compatible, in principle, (I have one myself) but a number of issues have been raised here, so worth a Search.
Two suggestions come immediately to mind.
Compaq wrote some hidden files to hard disc which are accessed during boot up. These can be viewed with a suitable utility, Linux or DOS. It has been said that they interact with the BIOS at start up. However, it is doubtful whether they are essential despite some claims to that effect.
Here is the simplest way of dealing with the situation, even if the description might sound complicated.
Remove the HD and install it into some modern HW using an IDE adapter, available from Radioshack, NewEgg (USA), CPC (UK), Komplett (Europe). This operation takes minutes only.
Take an image of this disc - and verify it!
Fdisk from DOS or cfdisk from Puppy. Delete everything and set up one main partition and a very small swap partition (something between 48 & 128 is entirely adequate depending on main memory).
Format main to ext2 and format swap.
Install Puppy and return the HD to the old laptop.
Adjust BIOS as appropriate.
Once it runs, set up as usual. If it doesn't work, restore the image and try something else!

I installed the Firefox 2.0.4 using petget. It installed by complained about 3 missing components.
I tried to install flash 9 and it fails because it says it can't find iconv. It also wants glibc 2.2, which doesn' seem to be part of 3.00

1. It doesn't detect eth0 or eth1 on one computer (Desktop with asus m/board) or eth0 on the other (Gateway laptop) or load the modules (or drivers or whatever they are in the wizard for network). These worked fine previoulsy (2.14).
All these things work fine when booting from the CD with pfix=ram,clean.
They don't work after it is installed on the hard drive.
Same thing here
. Run 3.00 from CD first time and everything works. Save the session and no more networking or sound, nor will it detect it. Says I have no network card or sound.
Try new CD. Everything works. OK good. Do frugal install. No Network or sound. Delete that install. Do Full install. Everything works but now it runs slower since nothing is loaded in ram.
So to sum up: Everything works upon boot as long as I do not save the session. saving the session, either as a Live CD or frugal install kills sound and network. Bummer
Any thoughts?

Update to previous post:
Everything works when booting from CD, pfix=ram,clean but ethernet is not detected when running from HD and USB does not exist in any form.
The ethernet drivers "forcedeath" and "3c59x" which load from cd will NOT load, even when manually selected, when running on HD.
Why is it that it Puppy 3.00 will run happily and well from CD but not install correctly on HD? Frugal and full installs have the same problem.

No problems installing v3.0, but it screws up X operation if updating v2.15CE. Seem to remember other folks having trouble upgrading CE s? Tried a few editing guesses but eventually resorted to mke2fs!
There is a confusion of order in installation screens that I raised before and is still present.
When doing an upgrade (using the CD and pfix=ram), it isn't apparent that an UPGRADE rather than new installation will be possible until fairly late in the selection process. The word isn't present until the last moment. No idea how you coders organise the information displayed, but UPGRADE needs to show right at the beginning, even if the value entered isn't used until later.

@iandel: Did you happen to test the alpha or any betas of v3.00 on your computer? If so, did ethernet function properly?

I believe this has been stated already, but Puppy seems to be unable to load the driver squash file from a frugal install to a folder. Stick it in "/" and it's good to go.
This could cause the ethernet problem if you're using a frugal install. If you are using a full HD install I don't know what's wrong.

I have the same error mentioned above:
/bin/sh:can't access tty;job control turned off
I've got a frugal install in a 300 MB FAT partition... the GRUB entry is standard:
title Puppy
rootnoverify (hd0,2)
kernel (hd0,2)/vmlinuz root=/dev/ram0 pmedia=satahd
initrd (hd0,2)/initrd.gz
Maybe it's because it is a SATA drive?

text: Chicago Illinois This private high school in a poverty-stricken neighborhood of Chicago is based on the Jesuit educational concept of Corus Personalis, or care of the whole person. The school is conceived of as a body with chapel, library, gym and dining hall serving as the vital organs of heart, mind, lungs, etc. The L-shaped building forms a courtyard with an existing middle school already on the site, and is comprised of a 3-story academic wing connected to a one-story gymnasium/auditorium (to allow construction phasing). The building sits directly on the property line to directly engage with the community it seeks to root itself into and to maximize the green space. Students in the school work one day a week at a job to offset the cost of their education, and the school uniform is business attire; the building's façade of multi-colored fiber-reinforced cement panels and playful window rhythms serve to give identity to this business-like approach to education. A chapel anchors the east end academic wing and is day lit from a skylight monitor rising three stories; glass block, in a random pattern, surrounds the chapel space on three sides. Custom Stations of the Cross panels are integrated into the building's façade.

Dec 15, 2009-Part of the weekend continues
It's Tuesday; we're in Rebak.
We hauled again on Saturday to fix the leaking stern tube.
My weekend was spent heads down in the engine bilge with a grinder in my hand or a four pound sledge.
Either fixing fiberglass or beating the hell out of a stubborn shaft flange.
So today, those jobs being finally done and Wings back in the water, I put together the new Zodiac, mounted the Mercury (wasn't that sort of kinky?) and it wouldn't run!!!
Judy pointed out that I was leaving dirty fingerprints on the new white Zodiac; after I already left dirty footprints on Wings' deck, which she just cleaned.
Where's the rum?
Anyhow, here is the new Zodiac (and BTW, the deck looks gorgeous sweetheart).
Click here to see a few of shots of the weekend; not bad actually.

EDMONTON - Edmonton Public Schools saw a whopping enrolment increase of 2,873 students this fall, though the district had projected numbers would rise by only 26.
A total of 83,442 students have enrolled this year in Edmonton's biggest school district, according to annual enrolment numbers, which were finalized this week.
"For us, overall, it's a 3.6 per cent increase in our enrolment and that's 2,873 students," district superintendent Edgar Schmidt said Thursday. "They've come to us primarily in kindergarten and elementary school, so these are young families that we're really pleased to be welcoming into our school system, families we hope to work with all the way from kindergarten to Grade 12."
Student enrolment one year ago was 80,569 and projected enrolment for this fall was 80,595. That means public schools were expecting just 26 more kids this year.
"We were anticipating, with the number of students graduating and leaving the system, that there would be about the same number coming in but it was much higher than we had anticipated, and pleasantly so," Schmidt said. "There are families moving into the city and part of that is the economic growth in and around Edmonton that plays a role as well."
Edmonton Catholic Schools also had more students register this fall. A total of 35,546 students are enrolled in the Catholic system now, compared with 34,616 last fall. That's an increase of 930 students, or about 2.7 per cent. The Catholic school district had expected enrolment would rise by 511 kids.
"In the history of our district, it's our highest enrolment," said Edmonton Catholic Schools spokeswoman Lori Nagy. "It's wonderful news."
Most of that student influx to Catholic schools came through the district's early learning programs for preschoolers and in elementary schools.
Enrolment in Edmonton Catholic Schools has climbed steadily over the past decade, from about 31,000 students in 2002. Enrolment in all levels except senior high school increased this year, according to the district's student enrolment count document.
Major-General Griesbach School, a public school in north Edmonton, had 144 additional students register this year. That brings total enrolment at the elementary junior high school to 368 students, up from 224 last year. That's a 43-per-cent increase, one of the highest percentage increases in the public school district.
"We've never seen this before. It's always been around 230, our population, for the last eight years," said principal Chris Coggins, who is beginning his eighth year running the school. "We're not seeing the kind of population explosion you're seeing in the outlying areas. This is more of a moderately paced expansion."
Major-General Griesbach School is in a new building this year, at 304 Griesbach School Rd. The school serves the same student population as it did before but new houses are going up nearby, particularly northeast of the school, Coggins said.
"It's a fairly large, open area. That will be interesting, when that opens up," he said. "There's a whole lot of land there that has been undeveloped that is now getting developed, and families are moving in."
Most kids who attend Griesbach's regular program live in the surrounding communities, while students are bused in for the school's special needs program, Coggins said. Grades 4-6 and kindergarten are busiest this year, he said.
Coggins said his projected enrolment estimate for this year was "way off" but the new school building is large enough to accommodate the new students.
"This is a very healthy, vibrant community," he said. "It's a great place for kids and a great place for families, for sure."
Not all public schools reported higher enrolment numbers, however. Some schools saw student populations decline, including Amiskwaciy Academy, Belmead elementary, Highlands junior high, Norwood elementary, Westlawn junior high and M.E. LaZerte high school.
School districts tally their final enrolment numbers every year on Sept. 30. Alberta Education verifies the data and calculates how much per-pupil funding flows back to each school board, said Alberta Education spokesman Tim Chamberlin. As well, provincial grant money is available for certain student populations, including First Nations, Métis and Inuit students and money to reduce class sizes.
The province and the Alberta Teachers' Association have said 100,000 new students could enter schools across the province over the next 10 years as more people move into Alberta and the birth rate increases.

Obama's Hill strategy
President Barack Obama is staking his Syria strategy — and maybe more — on an unlikely ally: Congress.
Facing public ambivalence and a possible revolt on Capitol Hill over his plans to launch military strikes against Syrian President Bashar Assad's regime, Obama said Saturday that while he doesn't have to, he will seek a formal use-of-force authorization from a Congress that has been uncooperative on nearly all fronts for the past three years.
Story Continued Below
The decision to go to Capitol Hill reflects the leanings of a Candidate Obama who campaigned in 2008 on multilateralism and restraint in the use of presidential power. A successful vote in Congress would strengthen Obama's hand with both allies and enemies, senior administration officials said Saturday.
( PHOTOS: Syria: Where politicians stand)
The flip side: a losing vote could weaken the president ahead of debates on key domestic issues including the budget, debt ceiling, Obamacare funding and immigration. On the international stage, it could embolden Syria, Iran and other unfriendly countries.
At the very least, Obama clearly wants lawmakers to co-own a decision that he can't back away from after having declared last year that Assad would cross a "red line" if he used chemical weapons against his own people.
But he was planning to go it alone after hearing from his National Security Council last weekend. He only reversed course on Friday night — after America's closest ally, Britain, chose to stay out of Syria, and nearly 200 lawmakers urged him to seek authorization. That brought to a halt a full week's worth of administration officials laying out war plans.
( Also on POLITICO: Surprise Syria decision sparks D.C. confusion)
Gen. Martin Dempsey, the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, advised Obama that the timing of strikes doesn't matter from a military point of view. But the delay sets up a high-stakes political moment.
Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) — who received a classified briefing in the White House Situation Room on Thursday and is convinced Assad used chemical weapons — said if a vote were held today, it would fail.
"I don't think it passes," Johnson told POLITICO. "Right now there are far too many questions unanswered."
"If all this is about because President Obama drew a red line and he's concerned about his credibility and restoring his credibility, that's not enough justification for me," Johnson said.
To some of his critics, it looks like Obama wants Congress to stop him. Even if Saturday's surprise move is in line with Obama's personal feelings, it smacks of a base and poor political calculation, they say. By not demanding Congress return from its vacation early, it gives Assad a window to repeat a chemical weapons attack should he so choose.
"It's like watching a bad episode of 'The West Wing.' You cannot be president and go back and forth like this and try to communicate strength and confidence to your enemies and your allies," said one veteran Democratic strategist. "It's a fundamental misunderstanding of what presidential power is. It's clear that he doesn't want to do this. Now they're trying to find any way possible to get away from that outcome."
Obama's Saturday challenge to Congress had the familiar ring of his exhortations to pass his forgotten jobs bill, the defeated gun control reforms and countless other White House efforts that died at the Capitol. Obama is asking the same Congress that failed to pass a farm bill and dithered well past the expiration deadline on student loan rates to authorize firing missiles into a country already wracked with civil war.
And this time Obama's White House must also navigate opposing coalitions from his own party. In the past, lawmakers have expressed regret over signing onto open-ended use-of-force authorizations that ended up giving President George W. Bush more authority than they had intended.
Obama plans to send a use-of-force authorization measure to Congress soon, but senior administration officials declined on Saturday to detail whether it would have a specific end date or any other conditions on the use of the president's power.
