CUPS has come a long ways and had made it possible to communicate with hundreds
of printers. I can hardly imagine trying to promote Puppy to a business only to say
that they cannot use their printers.
CUPS or some associated app needs to be expanded to manage printing to pdf and to
recognize the very popular and inexpensive Samsung laser printers.
In my business point of view opinion it's no problem to buy a printer from the 'supported printer list', I just bought a new printer for the same price as my IT guy cost per hour. Lets be realistic, even I'm living in Indonesia I'm able to buy me a nice pentium4 systems with enough memory, I buy a flashdisk 512Mb for the same price as a good lunch.
Important is that the Puppy Professional is still plug&play, system independent. History becomes future again, company critical applications are more and more weboriented like the old reliable Digital and IBM mini systems. The web is accepted by the audience, so I need a workstation with a webbrowser and some supporting office applications. OO is perfect.... Don't put too much in it, it's not difficult to install additional packages....

G. Reliable networking with MS systems
H. Support for more printers (CUPS is great!), include Samsung lasers
The absence of these features have caused Linux to be rejected byseveral
businesses and non-profits with whom I am familiar.
This is somewhat bizarre: "Absence of these features".
While Puppy may not give you all of those yet in its humongous 70Mb (and a lot of it already is there), there are several distros that already give you all of those and much more. D is provided by OO so is redundant. G is overconstrained. You can have networking with MS systems, and you can have reliable networking, both is asking too much.
I can't think of many businesses where multimedia support matters a rat's rear to anyone, except at TV or sound companies, but maybe my limited experience (I've mostly worked with education, government, and finance) blinds me to that one.
I'm working on a Puppy based server concept and put two IT guys on it to develop this..... I like the idea to have it plug & play.... indeed, it's hard to get people on Linux.... I follow the confusing struggling of Linux, too many distro's, nearly all the same, but not one is really fitting to company needs, so they only find their way in dedicated solutions like webserver, some fileservers. The problem is�.. it�s still a playing tool for keyboard-junks who having a kind of religion called Linux. When I ask them to install a server they seems to enjoy typing all kind of unrecognizable strings and are not satisfied with a workin solution and a nice looking user interface. I hate to depend on this kind of people, I want to do my business and just need a tool, when I buy a car I don�t want to see somebody is installing the cylinders and injectors to optimize the performance in. I just want to pay, start and use it�.. that�s all.
As all people say that Linux is fast, NO not at ALL, try to start OpenOffice on a SuSE or REDHat box�. It�s slow and this kind of applications is what 90 percent of all users are using� Don�t even talk about LiveCD�s from the several distro�s, nobody ever will ever use that�. too slow.
PUPPY could be THE solution, the only Linux distro with an �added value� because it�s completely plug&play. Plugin an FlashDisk and you have a operatingsystem with office applications, it's even system independed, today in my laptop, tomorrow I use my desktop. Great!

I'm really impressed that anybody would even try to replace XP in a business enviroment with Puppy. I help out with the computers at a local office, and would never dream of trying to get those users to change over. Unless Puppy could be made EXACTLY like XP, there would be riots at the office, and no bill gates to blame, only me. I use linux for the unseen things, like the backup box and the router. I'm watching this thread, I'd sure like to see how close to XP Puppy can be made to look, and how the users take to it.

I don't think it has been mentioned:- Puppy has to be made CrossOver Office friendly. Yes you can run Wine but CrossOver takes all the hassle out and does things I can not make work using bare Wine.
For US$30 CrossOver is a bargain. I think it will require a little co-operation between Codeweavers and the Puppy community to make it work.
It solves a number of the issues mentioned.
PDF - just use Acrobat if the Puppy solutions are inadequate.
QuickBooks runs perfectly.
Many little Windows programs can be just installed and they run.
Word and Excel work perfectly, if you must use them.
I'm not sure about MSAccess, I still have to do some testing. I have a couple of quite large MSAccess applications which should test it. There are many business applications developed in MSAccess. The real test for all MSOffice applications is the use of the inbuilt Basic.
With all this, don't let Puppy slow down. The beauty of Puppy is to be able to turn on your computer and have it working before you have managed to arrange the pens on your desk

You are totally right, I would not even think about when I worked in Europe... thats true. Indonesian companies/government buying new pentium4 systems for let say $500, till now it's filled with illegal copied software. This has to be changed at this moment, Microsft is doing regulary surveys over here what means that they have to choose, or buy WindowsXP+Office for $500 or choose something else witch is doing the same in company perspective.
The company critical software is running on a intranet webserver, either the mail, calendar, document management and others. For the company it's important that they use a good performing webbrowser.
I deal with company owners, not with the users, I don't care if some games not running on Linux. I provide tools for doing simply their job without wasting time being a system manager for their PC system.
It's hard for Puppy to become the friend of the end-users, or it has to be an Linux freak. Puppy could become the friend of the business owners because the security, centralization of data, stability and plug & play facility, and important, they don't depend on IT people and system managers.

I will release an early proposal for Puppy Professional that could fairly easily be hammered into many of the things that are wanted here.
Changes from Puppy Office 2.02ce:
-new icons for desktop, menus, and some mimetypes.
-XFCE4 and JWM can switch back and forth from the menu in XVESA or Xorg
-XDG menus in XFCE4 and puppy wallpapers are available
-Open Office buttons on JWM tray and XFCE4 tray
-Added Opera Browser
-Gxine extra codecs
-changed JWM activity monitor to blue rather than red
-several wallpapers in a variety of tones
-Open Office Impress templates
Still to add or change:
-XFCE4 to IceWM with themes
-Simplified menus
-Java-I'm very concerned about space with this and not sure how it can fit in 256Mb with all that is already there...any ideas?
-browser themes for seamonkey and Opera
-fix browser home pages
-wifibeta.pup ?
I will not put this on the announcements thread since it should just be considered an early alpha version so we can hammer this thing out with Puppy Professional being quite large, but very nice
I would like some feedback on this to make sure everything is OK so far. My big concern is the size and how it works on your machines.
Thanks for the hosting MU and TedDog!!

i seem to remember that when i made a few XP Icewm theme packages, that i modifed the themes slightly ... for example, i didn't like the start button in one theme, so i used the button from another theme, and maybe the wallpaper from another theme
i like the Aqua themes ... but some themes have actually used screenshots from a Mac to make their buttons, apparently, which might not be quite ethical ... i don't know about the XP themes

Post subject: Linux Corporate Use
At work Microsoft has done a good job on it own of selling Linux to our high ranking execs. Awhile back when the Melissa virus was running wild our network administrator was forced to take down the Windows servers/workstations for fear of contamination - yes we were running anti-virus software on the Windows network but he was justifiably paranoid that one of our wandering laptops could infect and bring down the Windows network, and he also wanted to make sure the Anti-Virus vendors had correctly updated the virus definitions.
Meanwhile our Linux-based point of sale clients and backend AIX server running our ERP/POS software continued humming right along, happily ringing up sales and totally immune to the attack. That incident alone, not to mention the steep cost savings in software/hardware costs, were enough to guarantee a future for Linux. Besides the work I'm doing with Puppy at home, I'm also involved in a pilot program at work using Puppy, very similar to what this thread has been undertaking and the work being done at home complements this project. However, we are focused on using a minimalistic version of Linux and keeping bloat to a minimum while maximizing functionality - we'd like for our custom Puppy to run in RAM with <= 128 Mb memory. Therefore, KDE, Gnome, OpenOffice are out and AbiWord, Gnumeric, Wine, and UltraIceWM are in. Puppy is able to cruise our corporate intranet at lightning speeds and bring up all of our MS Excel/Word and PDF documents, and multimedia is easily handled via Mplayer. With Mark's latest release of the Software Installer, installing new software in Puppy is easier than ever. Just today during testing I had one of our accountants bring over one of his most complex Excel spreadsheets to see how Gnumeric 1.6.3 could handle it. His jaw practically dropped when he saw the speed at which Puppy brought up the spreadsheet, and all his formulas and formats were preserved.
I already have a highly customized version of DSL(Damn Small Linux) used in our live production environment for our point-of-sale terminals. It loads right from a CD and once loaded runs completely in memory. We also have this CD distributed to our stores running Windows clients just in case the hard drive fails or they manage to corrupt their machine installation, but eventually we will be standardizing completely on Linux across all our stores.
The cost savings and uptime are staggering, and we are able to recycle our "old" hardware, thus prolonging hardware expenditures for years. We also waste less computing cycles by not having to run anti-virus/spyware programs, which also directly impact the wear and tear on the hard drive. As an added benefit, by using Linux we also don't have to concern ourselves with legal expenses involved in BSA software audits and legal challenges.
One other issue our Help Desk runs across continuously is store personnel who bring in their own software from home and load it onto their Windows machine. Although our store policy strictly prohibits this, we often get MS Windows workstations sent back to our corporate offices which for some "unknown reason" are non-functional. It usually takes our Help Desk 4-5 hours to restore the machine to its original state, plus the cost of shipping the machine back and forth. With Linux we can restore a local machine in 6 minutes flat, and if the machine is at one of our stores, we can restore the machine remotely in a few hours after the close of business. Meanwhile, store personnel can use the customeDSL Live CD to continue running the POS program under Linux until their hard drive is restored to its original state. The Linux POS workstations run a custom version of the older ClusterKnoppix, and have the DSL Live CD as a backup in the event of hard drive failure.
At my place of business the Linux distros we use are DSL, ClusterKnoppix, and CentOS with Puppy already on the scene making a splash. Since we have IT staff onsite, our software licensing costs are $0, although we do make it a point to donate to open source projects to provide funding in the event we decided to use the products to run our business. Puppy is now in our pilot phase, and I'm looking to roll it out to a test audience at work in a few weeks. At the same time, I have another target group for my home project with similar goals of OLPC. Thus, both projects are complementary and the work I do with one benefits the other. Since all the software is open source, there is no conflict of interest.

Post subject: Zimbra on Puppy
As it relates to an enterprise-grade messaging and collaboration business suite, you should really consider downloading and integrating the open source version of Zimbra (
), which is a bleeding-edge Ajax-based e-mail/calendaring/VOIP/Web authoring/sharing and MS Outlook/Exchange alternative with enterprise capabilities. I downloaded the 150 Mb of binaries just to see if it would install on Puppy, and although I installed the missing libraries, there were some requested components that I could not find. By incorporating this open source product into Puppy Pro, it could considerably boost your chance of corporate adoption, especially after management has a chance to view the demo of what this product can do.

I am fascinated by your customized enterprise-quality yet small Puppy and would love to
learn more as it comes together.
I frequently come upon small business users, non-profits, and financially-challenged
families with older hardware who would be blessed by such a reliable and highly
functional version.
could use it!
I seem to recall reading fairly recently of a significant vulnerability in Ajax, I presume that
it has been thoroughly researched and repaired?
Thanks! David

This kind of name-calling is entirely uncalled-for, as well as insulting and patronising. Not to mention somewhat ungrateful to the "keyboard-junkies" who gave you Puppy. So please don't do it.
Aside from that, your particular perspective on the IT world may not be the entire picture. Here in Europe, Linux is expanding faster than anything seen before.

I worked 20 years in Europe for IT companies like Digital and Silicon Graphics.... I know exactly the struggling of unix / linux, I created this subject �Professional Puppy� to join a group of people who really having a business oriented vision without the �developers mindset� Puppy is a great product, it needs a group of people who are putting it on the market and creating great solutions with all applications made by the developers (whoups keyboard-junkies, it's just mentioned as funny, don't take it personaly).

In China Linux is doing a good job, Europe is difficult, even it has the highest amount of professional developers who�re creating the most stable products. Asia has to be the target market, they desperately looking for solutions, they don�t care if it�s Microsoft or Linux, in their opinion the world wide web is the most stable environment because it has a higher availability than their local PC system and they understand the user oriented applications like Yahoo and MSN.

Eli Manning and the passing game were humming along, finding the way into the end zone. The pass rush was back to its familiar menacing ways. The Giants were rocking. The Giants were rolling.
They were operating and feeling as good as they've felt in, exactly when?
"Um, going back to last year, maybe,'' linebacker Mathias Kiwanuka said. "We've had good quarters, halves but as a complete game this is probably the best this year.''
Just like that, the Giants last night bid adieu to the November swoon and said hello to command position in the NFC East.
They embarked on what they are calling their "six-game season'' in resounding fashion, putting to rest so many questions and failings they've displayed for much of this uneven season. They came off their bye and welcomed the return of Manning and their potent air show and spun the revolving door to allow their pass rushers to suffocate Aaron Rodgers. The result was a throwback performance as the Giants walloped the Packers 38-10 in a one-sided NFC showdown at chilly MetLife Stadium, ending a two-game slide.
"I think we definitely played like world champions,'' Victor Cruz said.
Manning awakened from a month-long passing slumber to toss three touchdown passes, the dormant rushing attack finally dominated at the point of attack — although valuable Andre Brown was lost for the season with a broken leg — and the previously-sluggish pass rush became emboldened at the first sight of Rodgers, sacking him five times. The Packers (7-4) were intent on coming in and showing last year's playoff loss to the Giants was a fluke. Instead, they limped back to Green Bay after being humbled by the defending Super Bowl champs.
"When you get in the playoffs it's live or die, it's one game, you have your chance,'' said Kiwanuka, who had two sacks. "If you do it, you do it; if you don't, that's it, we don't want to hear from you.''
This overpowering display puts the Giants (7-4) in strong position in the NFC East. They have a two-game lead on both the Cowboys and Redskins (both 5-6) and head to Washington next week for a Monday Night Football meeting with Robert Griffin III.
After two straight losses, the Giants were 13-20 in November under Tom Coughlin before dismantling a Packers team that came in riding a five-game winning streak. The Giants via the Make-A-Wish Foundation were paid a visit on Friday from Adam Merchant, a 15-year old cancer patient from Barre, Vt., a Giants fan who players said inspired them. Merchant was also on the sideline last night and in the locker room following the game.
"He said to our team, 'Play like world champions,' '' Coughlin said. "The message was loud and clear.''
Manning had gone three games without managing to pass his way into the end zone — his longest touchdown-less stretch since his 2004 rookie year — but he rebounded in a big way. When Hakeem Nicks stretched over the goal line with his right arm on a third-quarter pass that was first ruled down and then changed to a 13-yard TD, Manning had the 200th touchdown pass of his career. That moved him past Phil Simms as the franchise leader.
By halftime, the Giants had piled up 31 points to take a 31-10 lead, operating the way they did during last year's six-game closing stretch to capture the division title, the conference crown and eventually the Vince Lombardi Trophy.
Tied at 7, the rare sight of Manning pulling the ball down and running highlighted a 55-yard scoring drive that ended with rookie Rueben Randle's first career TD catch. On third-and-7, Manning spotted an open expanse of turf and took off. Instead of sliding, though, he did what he never does, lowering his right shoulder to give as much as he got to cornerback Tramon Williams. The 13-yard scramble set the stage for the 16-yard strike to Randle to make it 14-7.
"I wish he used his other shoulder,'' Nicks said, smiling. "Just goes to show the effort. Eli's all-in right now.''
On the next drive, Rodgers got sloppy and didn't see Corey Webster sliding in front of Randall Cobb for an interception on the Green Bay 38-yard line. That led to a Lawrence Tynes field goal for a 17-7 Giants lead.
In the second quarter, Osi Umenyiora came up with one of his trademark strip-sack momentum swingers, nailing Rodgers from behind to force a fumble that Jason Pierre-Paul recovered on the Green Bay 23. Two plays later, Bradshaw was taking an inside handoff 13 yards for a touchdown and the Giants had themselves a 31-point first half.

Medical Treatment Guidelines
The medical treatment guidelines are written from a clinical perspective, to guide clinical care. Providers should consult the Medical Aid Rules and Fee Schedule (MARFS) for documentation and coding requirements.
The Medical Treatment Guidelines (also called Medical Practice Guidelines or Review Criteria) are evidence based and were developed by the Office of the Medical Director in collaboration with practicing physicians and advisors.
Some guidelines are intended to be educational tools for medical providers. Some guidelines and the review criteria are used by L&I in the Utilization Review program and claim management process to promote best practices and improve the health of injured workers. They are published by L&I, which is solely responsible for coverage decisions that may result from their use.
How to use the guidelines
Health care providers are expected to be familiar with the guidelines and follow the recommendations. Good medical judgment is important in deciding how to use and interpret this information.

I finally have it up and online! But what is an ABA life list? It is the list of birds that I have encountered that meet the criteria to be included on my list in the ABA area. Wait, what? Well, the ABA is the American Birding Association, and they have a somewhat complicated (but sensible) list of rules for recording something on your checklist. Included in that list of rules is a detailed description of the exact geographical area in which one can count birds for inclusion on your ABA list (essentially the North American portions of the United States and Canada, 200 miles out into the ocean, and some islands). Anyway, my ABA life list now totals 425 species.
Why am I bothering to write a blog post about this? Well, in going through my records of birds I've seen or heard I have discovered some interesting sightings, especially from my first year of birding, that have left me scratching my head. For example, I don't think that I actually saw a Glaucous Gull off the coast of Connecticut in the middle of July seeing as Glaucous Gulls are winter visitors to the northeast. So when did I see my first actual Glaucous Gull? It was the following winter when I saw one along the Mohawk River. But I have decided that on my life list all of the species of which my first sighting is questionable will not have first sighting information recorded. There are two reasons for this. One, I can't be absolutely sure, maybe I did see a Glaucous Gull in July in Connecticut. Two, the lack of a date and location on my list will humble me as Northern Rough-winged Swallows humble Nate.
Now, unlike Mike, I am not a compulsive lister. But keeping a life list or different types of year lists is fun as when I look back at them it brings me back to the time I spent finding, identifying, and watching birds that I might not see again for awhile.
But how did I keep my life list before I did it on the blog? Well I had a composition book for each year in which I recorded the birds I saw on each outing. Each lifer had a dot next to it and I kept a running tally of my life birds. Not exactly the most high-tech solution but it got the job done. Moving forward I have the blog to keep my life list on and I have started entering my bird sightings in eBird. I will eventually, I am sure, try out Birdstack to see if I like it more, but at the moment I am happy with using eBird. With these free listing tools available on the internets am I ever glad I resisted the clarion call of expensive listing software that, I imagine, will soon be going the way of the dodo.
Everyone has to make their own decisions about what kind of list to keep, what their rules are for putting something on the list, and what tools they are going to use to record their list. I will say that in this day and age it only makes sense to harness the power of computers to keep lists. It's certainly better than hand-writing each and every species one sees on each and every outing. So try out eBird and Birdstack. Not only will it make your listing easier and let you manipulate the data you collect but you will be contributing to everyone's knowledge of bird abundance and distribution. And that is too valuable to ignore.
How do you keep track of the birds that you see?
eBird. I'm playing with BirdStack but since I started with eBird, I like it better. 🙂 I'm sure the reverse would be true if I started with BirdStack instead. Congrats on your lifelist. I never kept a list with dates and locations. I had simply checked off birds I'd seen in my Peterson guide for years — sigh. Couldn't enter most of those in eBird. The only one I could enter was the first Bald Eagle I saw as I did have a date and location for that. Otherwise, my listing life started in 2006.
Like Mike, I use an excel spreadsheet, but I have transferred all of it to Birdstack. There are some inconsistencies with regards to splits and lumps between Birdstack and my list but it's close enough.
Corey, you've got an impressive list for someone that's never made it to Texas or Arizona or Florida. You need a birding specific vacation, stat!
I have used Thayer's for a number of years now and am quite happy with it. Before then, I used a database software made by Lanius Software (which Corey you can have by the way, I still have it) which used to be commonly available in the software sections of both ***-Mart and Best Buy.
However my life list currently only counts birds I've seen since I got the software, so my trip to Arizona an Florida in the past, um don't count, so my life list is actually much higher than the 260 something currently listed.
Aha! I found a mistake.
We had the American Three-toed Woodpecker (such as it was) in Hamilton County.
And you counted those Great Blue Herons…, er I mean Sandhill Cranes at Henry Hudson Park?
I used to use Bird Brain 5.0 to track my lists but it wasn't upgraded for MacOS X so I switched to Wings. When I imported the data there were so many splits and lumps it wasn't worth it to list any more. I'm back to keeping my little field notebooks with my handwritten lists of what birds I saw wherever I am in the order in which I saw them. Not good for export or posting to the web, but great reading on a stormy winter's night.
@Liza Lee: Don't feel bad. The summer before I took up birding I spent 10 days in Nova Scotia including the ferry from Maine both ways. Thinking about the birds that would now be on my life list if I had been a birder, well, I try not to…
@Mike: Okay, maybe compulsive is too strong a word.
@Nate: Thanks…and, um, want to buy me some plane tickets?
@Will: Think you'll eventually stop using Thayer? Oh, and location error fixed (and I want a better look some day). And, yes, there was a Sandhill Crane flying over Henry Hudson Park two years ago. I saw it and I'm counting it.
I use Avisys to keep the records on my own computer and eBird to share them with the world. I like having both the personal database and the web record because then if one goes belly-up, I'll still have access to the other one. I liked what I saw of Birdstack when I tried it out, but I'm too comfortable with the system I'm using to add another listing method on top of it.
Not compulsive eh? So who was it who said on his blog back in 2003: "Yet, few are considered as twisted as the slavering hordes of 'listers' and 'twitchers'. As a card-carrying member, I should know."…? I wonder :))
I have a lifelist that I keep in a copy of Peterson's Eastern Field guide.-I take notes about where and when the sightings were.-Like you-I have a couple of early ones that I felt were questionable-so I more or less don't count them.-I did spend money on listing software called Birder's diary but decided to stop using it.-why am I bothering I figured.-I keep checklists that I throw into a shoe box now but there are times that I don't bother.-I do plan on doing e-bird entries this year-There is no way I am going to enter every bird though.
One more question Corey, how many of these did you see in Zoo's?
I wonder how many people keep a lifelist in the USA? I started in 1974 April 15th. Type the number in one column, the bird-english name in the second column, the location in the third column, the date in the last column. There are fifty to a page. Recently I started entering in surfbirds-too bad I didnt keep records of all the states I birded in. Some I have records. Total ticks is adding up all the state lists one might have. There is no possible end. You draw the line.

PHOENIX — Michael Guzzo was becoming increasingly unhinged.
He complained for months about incessant dog barking coming from homes all around him. He even put up fliers on doors throughout his Phoenix townhome complex advising people of pet ordinances and fines.
This weekend, police say, the 56-year-old went on a rampage, methodically killing four members of a family who lived next door, along with their two dogs. He then walked across a courtyard and tried to kill more neighbors with dogs before he went home and killed himself.
One of the victims, Renee Moore, "told me all the time the man was crazy," said her mother-in-law, Jacque Alderman, 70. "He just couldn't stand the dogs."
Also killed in the Saturday shooting were Moore's father, Bruce Moore, 66; her husband, Michael Moore, 42, who used his wife's last name; and her son, Shannon Moore, 17.
Libni Deleon, 26, said that just a few months ago he returned home from work to find Guzzo standing by his back gate where his two dogs were on the patio barking.
"He said, 'Your dogs are barking. I'm here to live in peace,'" Deleon recalled.
Moments after the killings Saturday, Guzzo went back to Deleon's home and began kicking on the front door.
Deleon's wife, Vanessa, had just gotten out of the shower, grabbed their two children and ran upstairs to hide in the bathtub.
Libni Deleon went toward the door as Guzzo blasted two holes through it, sending about 20 shotgun pellets into the walls at the back of their home.
He ran upstairs to get his gun, opened the window and began to yell at Guzzo, who opened fire again before walking back to his own home to kill himself.
"I feel pretty darn lucky," Libni Deleon said.
While Guzzo's motive died along with him, neighbors and family members of the victims say he was becoming increasingly bothered by dog noise.
"He hated them. But everyone here has dogs," said Joni Flood, 27, who lives a few doors down from the victims.
Family members, meanwhile, struggled to come to grips with their loss, dumbfounded by the sheer senselessness of the killings.
Standing amid pools of drying blood on the home's back patio where the two men were apparently shot first, Michael Moore's brother called the killings "angering beyond belief."
"It just angers me looking at all this because I just feel for my brother," said Patrick Riley, 41. "The helplessness."
The patio wall was chipped with pockmarks from the shotgun's blast. Police haven't given specific details of the attack, but Riley said he thinks Guzzo shot his brother over a 6-foot cinderblock fence while he worked on an engine.
"He had no idea what was coming," Riley said. Bruce Moore was killed a few feet away near the patio door to the home.
Riley said police told him Guzzo killed the two men first, then walked through the family's unlocked front door and shot Renee, her son, Shannon, and the dogs.
The killer was no stranger to the family, even though they had little contact with him, Alderman said.
Renee Moore had told her repeatedly "the man was crazy" and hated the dogs.
Alderman sobbed Monday as she stood outside the home while other family members gathered on the porch where the two men, including her son, were shot.
"I don't want to see the blood," she said with a heavy sigh.
Phoenix Sgt. Steve Martos said authorities can only speculate on a motive for the killings.
"If he had left a note, maybe," Martos said, "but nothing like that occurred in this case."

As you can see at the before images, the bathroom was from the 1940s. Still functioning but dated.
The client wanted me to transform it into a "nice clean design" bathroom "with kids in mind". A bathroom that can be used by both the children and the occasional house guests.
My challenge was to keep the design clean using warn colors, with kids in-mind.
At my design I managed to utilize the sink and toilet. Kept the layout as is (to reduce cost) but did make a few changes in the layout of the electric outlet heat duct and ventilation.
Another change was an up-to-code electric outlet. The light fixture above the medicine cabinet was replaced and we added a light above the bathtub.
Last but not least, was a vent that was added to allow ventilation when not using the window.
The kids reaction when we reveled the bathroom was - WOW...
What do you think of the final product?

The Idea of a Christian University: Essays in Theology and Higher Education
Today the academy is in a state of turmoil, torn apart by market-driven pressures, systematic underfunding by central government, overworked and highly stressed staff, increased student numbers and an ever widening division between research-led and teaching-led institutions. All this is a far cry from the religiously inspired ideals of Christian higher education which underpinned the foundation of so many centres of learning across the U. K., Europe, North America, and Australasia. In this timely and provocative collection of essays, scholars from across the world re-examine the idea of a Christian university and offer a radical alternative vision for the future of the academy. Theologians from Anglican, Orthodox, Catholic, and Protestant traditions engage both with the historic roots from which the idea of the Christian University emerges and with the contemporary challenges and opportunities faced by higher education today. Contributors include Professor Sam Berry, Professor David Carr, Dr. Gavin D'Costa, Dr. Gerard Loughlin, Dr. Patricia Malone, Professor Ian Markham, Professor Adrian Thatcher and Dr. Elmer Thiessen.

2012 Update Archives
December 19, 2012 College-Wide SLO
Two reports are due to the ACCJC Accreditation Team by March 15:
- Show Cause Report
- SLO Report
To help us gather the data we need (proof of all the good work we've
been doing on the SLO front), we need each unit to complete online
"snapshot" reports -- a snapshot of what you did in Fall
2012 and what you plan to do in Spring 2013.
Whatever plans and results you have -- grand or minor -- we need to hear by January 31st.
Online reports exist for all areas of the college and all kinds of
outcomes (student learning outcomes for courses, programs, and
counseling; and service outcomes for student development and
administrative service units). For reporting purposes and ease of use,
the online "snapshot" reporting forms are all identical in
their layout, format, and types of question (and are based on what
courses and instructional programs completed in August 2012
Outcomes Assessment -- Fall 2012 Review and Spring 2013 Plans --
online reporting forms can be found on web pages devoted to these
Program SLOs
Development Counseling Program SLOs
Development Service Outcomes
Unit Service Outcomes
Want help? Review the electronic document version (overview of online reporting form format and questions).
Other Spring 2013 plans include:
- Weekly professional development workshops, starting with the Jan. 11 flex event (schedule online).
- Gathering evidence and putting it on your website
Thanks everyone for stepping up and helping us meet our SLO
accreditation requirements. This task is possible only because of the
work each and every one of you does.
Happy Holidays!
Katryn Wiese
CCSF SLO Coordinator
December 12, 2012 College-Wide SLO Update Email
An immense amount of effort has happened this semester on the SLO front by all of us across the college -- instructors, counselors, librarians, staff, department chairs, the Office of Instruction, the Curriculum Committee, and more. The effort has been shouldered by all of us and covered many tasks: assessments, planning, reporting, program reviews, program-level outcomes development and refinement, general-education outcomes mapping, departmental and interdepartmental dialogue, curriculum-committee reviews, and professional development workshops. Congratulations on an immense feat completed!
Result: We've successfully strengthened the foundation of our
college-wide continuous cycle of course, program, and service
assessment, review, and refinement.
Good news for SLO online reporting forms: starting in Spring, there will be just one form to complete each semester, at the beginning of the semester, for each course, program, and service. In that form, you will report on your previous semester activities and your current semester plans. As assessment activities happen continually throughout the semester, be sure to keep track of your efforts in your own records (see website for sample templates). (For faculty and chairs who haven't yet entered Fall course and program assessment activities updates into online reporting forms, keep your records, and enter summaries into the January form.)
For those who want more details of what's ahead, read further:
See the website (www.ccsf.edu/slo) for detailed timelines and assessment activities for Spring 2013:
Other Spring 2013 plans include:
- Weekly professional development workshops, starting with the Jan. 11 flex event (schedule online)
- Monthly highlights pages of good things coming out of outcomes assessment across the college.
- Feedback form and survey
- Drop-in help sessions every week throughout the semester
Over break, please take a well-deserved rest. Here's hoping we can all come back in Spring with renewed spirit and energy.
Katryn Wiese
CCSF SLO Coordinator
December 5, 2012 College-Wide SLO Update Email
As we finish a busy semester, take a deep breath and plan some time
over the break to rest. On the outcomes-assessment front, keep
focusing on the goal of why we are all here: producing an environment,
services, and courses that promote excellence in student learning. In
fact, though some of you might not yet believe it, and ALL of us are
exhausted, SLOs and outcomes assessment will, eventually, make our
jobs easier and our efforts more valuable. Don't believe me? Join us
on Spring
Flex for a presentation that makes that case. If we're not there
yet, that's the direction we're moving. Just keep moving forward --
one step at a time.
Meanwhile.... a review of end-of-semester Fall tasks for everyone:
Help your department or program complete program review and post it to your assessment website (by December 7). Program review is a review and planning document that demonstrates our focus on improved student learning.
Continue to carefully evaluate your courses and services. Make notes on what you're learning from a variety of evaluations including personal observations. Record those notes in a document that belongs to you and that you can use each semester to collect your observations, thoughts, ideas, and data. [sample recording/notes reports]
Regular drop-in outcomes-assessment and website-editing help sessions and professional development will begin again in Spring -- one a week -- at a variety of times and locations. Visit the resources section of the website for details and to provide feedback on workshops you'd like to request and ones you'd be willing to lead.
Next week, I'll review Spring plans for outcomes-assessment in all
areas – Student Learning Outcomes, Service Area Outcomes, and
Administrative Unit Outcomes.
Meanwhile, as semester approaches its end and stresses build, I hope we can all find the time and space to enjoy our students.
Moving forward one step at a time,
Katryn Wiese
CCSF SLO Coordinator
Friday, November 30, 2012 outcomes-assessment update:
As mentioned in yesterday's email from the Chancellor, CCSF now has designated an official SLO Coordinator position, and I'll be taking it on as my primary responsibility until the end of the fiscal year.
In the work that's already happened, there's been such wonderful effort, cooperation, and support. We've built up a lot of momentum, and I see my primary goal to help it grow and move forward in a positive direction for the college.
Outcomes assessment is a process that permeates all areas of the college at all levels -- whether it be student learning outcomes (SLOs) in the classroom or service outcomes in counseling , purchasing , financial aid, mail rooms, custodial services, building maintenance, health centers, and so many more. Outcomes assessment is an essential tool for effectively planning program improvements, identifying needs, and developing resources. Outcomes assessment done right brings the college in all its diversity together, making us all allies in the common goal of strengthening student success.
Among other efforts that are underway, you can expect to receive regular updates from me, through email and this website, on the ongoing college-wide outcomes-assessment efforts including:
about good things that are coming out of the outcomes-assessment
efforts across the college
- Reviews and reminders of
semester timelines and tasks
- Plans for future
assessment timelines and tasks
- Upcoming professional
development workshops for improving our teaching and learning
and assessment processes
City College will succeed in its ongoing outcomes assessment
progress and plans only with the continued cooperation and support of
everyone -- a distributed effort. Thank you for your efforts to date
and your commitment to support those of the future.

John Follette
Bible teacher and author
Follette was a gifted Bible teacher and author, who had both perspective and spiritual depth in his interpretation of the Word. He was an illuminated spirit in the field of spiritual reality, and had an unusual ability to impart "spirit and life" into those who sat under his ministry.
This gifted Huguenot poet, and deeply spiritual teacher, who lived in New Paltz, New York traced his ancestry back to those unconquerable people whose descendants made history, and who arrived in the area of his birth in the 1660's.
He received the Baptism in the Holy Spirit in 1913 while a student at a Bible School in Rochester, New York, and later became a teacher there until the school closed. He also taught for many years at Southern California Bible College.
During the later years of his life, he was called into a wider field, ministering in conferences and retreats which took him around the world. He passed into his eternal reward in 1966 at the age of 82.
Works by John Follette
A deeply spiritual man, John Wright Follette had a passion for God. He often expressed this passion through his preaching and poetry. Broken Bread captures some of that passion in its collection of twenty of his sermons and some of his poems. Full of sound scriptural exegesis and practical insight, Follette instructs and entertains, engaging both the reader's heart and mind. His passion for God is infectious, and will quickly spread to any reader of Broken Bread.
Golden Grain contains the brief thoughts from gifted preacher and teacher, John Wright Follette. These little "nuggets" of truth are short phrases or paragraphs that Follette kept ready-at-hand to dispense to anyone in need of aid. Full of practical wisdom, these different nuggets are ideal for meditation, for each one holds in store a new spiritual insight. Indeed, only after much meditation and several reads do many of these encouraging and edifying thoughts show their greatest spiritual insight. Follette arranges some loosely around topics, others not. Either way, Golden Grain makes a wonderful supplement to one's devotions.

Jancis Robinson's Wine Course
This wonderful series was produced by the BBC in 1995. You can still acquire the series on DVD from Amazon. In 2009, the entire series was uploaded to YouTube. We share the 10 episodes over the next few weeks for your education and enjoyment. Our wine list is ever changing and evolving for your dining pleasure. Also remember every Monday from 5-10pm is 1/2 price Bottle Wine.
The series was one of the last BBC series to be shot on film rather than video. Obviously there are aspects of it that are dated. We all look so much younger, mostly because we were. Conceptually, the most dated thing is probably my concern that the entire world was about to be planted with Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay. How delightful it is that the pendulum has now swung so definitively in the opposite direction.
Jancis Robinson
About Jancis Robinson
Jancis Mary Robinson OBE, MW (born 22 April 1950) is a British wine critic, journalist and editor of wine literature. She currently writes a weekly column for the Financial Times, and writes for her website JancisRobinson.com. She also provides advice for the wine cellar of Queen Elizabeth II.
Robinson was born in Cumbria, studied mathematics and philosophy at St Anne's College, University of Oxford, and worked for a travel company after leaving university. Robinson started her wine writing career on 1 December 1975 when she became assistant editor for the trade magazine Wine & Spirit. In 1984 she became the first person outside the wine trade to become a Master of Wine. She also served as British Airways' wine consultant, and supervised the BA Concorde cellar luxury selection.
As a wine writer, she has become one of the world's leading writers of educational and encyclopedic material on wine. The Oxford Companion to Wine, edited by Robinson, is widely considered to be the most comprehensive wine encyclopedia in the world. The first edition was published in 1994, and took five years to write after she was signed on as editor in 1988. In addition, The World Atlas of Wine by Hugh Johnson and Robinson is one of the world's leading wine atlases.
In 1995, Jancis Robinson appeared in a 10-episode wine course on BBC 2 television. This series was later reissued on DVD. A book titled Jancis Robinson's Wine Course was written to accompany the series and has gone through several editions. She has an honorary doctorate from the Open University, and was made an OBE in 2003, among numerous other awards for her writing. Her accolades include multiple Glenfiddich Awards and André Simon Memorial Awards, and a selection as the Decanter "1999 Woman of the Year".
Following a difference of opinion with Robert Parker over the 2003 vintage of Château Pavie, the following media coverage frequently described a "war of words" between the two critics. Less dramatic than the predominant press view, Robinson and Parker currently have a cordial relationship.
In 2012, Penguin in the UK and Ecco in the US published a 1,200-page book called Wine Grapes co-authored by Robinson with Julia Harding MW and Jose Vouillamoz. The book provides comprehensive details on 1,368 vine varieties and won six major wine book awards.
Robinson is married to the food writer Nick Lander, author of The Art of the Restaurateur; they have three children, Julia, William and Rose.

Search Jim Cramer's "Mad Money" trading recommendations using our exclusive "Mad Money" Stock Screener.
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- The fiscal battle in Washington is playing out like the James Dean film "Rebel Without a Cause," with all of us caught in a high-speed game of chicken and about to go over the cliff, Cramer told "Mad Money" viewers Thursday. CEOs, including many who didn't vote for President Obama, have been going to the White House lately and saying that they, the 2%, would accept a tax hike if it would lead to a compromise, Cramer said. But they've been had. President Obama was re-elected and Cramer noted the feedback he's been getting indicates the CEOs' offer meant nothing. The CEOs figured the president wrong, and we're not much closer to compromise than before. Cramer said the President's position seems to be "my way or the highway" but it's actually "my way or the cliff's way." "What worries me most about the declines is that the market is realizing the President might get his way," Cramer said. That would mean higher taxes and little in the way of spending cuts. "We have to hope that history isn't repeating itself to go down the path of the pre-debt ceiling debacle or the TARP debacle before we get crushed and then get the deal," Cramer said. He explained, "If you're a member of the business community who thought compromise was in the air, the only thing that turned out to be in the air was you. In your car. Going over the cliff, without wings. Without a parachute and with a full tank of soon-to-explode octane," a la "Rebel Without a Cause."

Highway Patrol Cites Drivers for Thanksgiving, Black Friday DWI's
COLUMBIA - Driving While Intoxicated is known to be a common occurrence during the holiday season as family gatherings begin and holiday parties are planned. The Missouri State Highway Patrol cited 21 people throughout the state of Missouri for Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) between Thanksgiving morning and Black Friday evening.
Four of the 21 DWI's were given in KOMU 8's immediate viewing area. KOMU 8 News spoke with local police departments about DWI enforcement. The Columbia Police Department has regular patrols out throughout Thanksgiving weekend, as does the Fulton Police Department. The Jefferson City Police Department doubled patrols for Black Friday.
According to the Missouri State Highway Patrol, a DWI conviction in Missouri costs a minimum of $3,000. On top of the money spent, a first time offender receives a 90-day license suspension. A second time offender will normally receive a one-year license revocation and a third time offender will receive a ten-year license denial.
For more information on DWI's in Missouri, visit the Missouri State Highway Patrol website or the Missouri Department of Revenue.

America's Role in Syria? Americans are waiting with high anxiety as President Obama and his cabinet try to convince congress to intervene in Syria's civil war. Most Americans are coming out against American missile strikes against the Arab nation, but President Obama continues to make the case for war. To get a better handle on what people are saying about America's potential military intervention, we're talking with Sacramento area residents with ties to Syria, and who disagree on how the two countries should proceed.

Farmers and Climate Change Policy It turns out farmers may fear Uncle Sam more than Mother Nature. A new study from UC Davis has found Yolo County farmers feel more threatened by climate policy than they do by climate change. Farmers told UC Davis researchers that adapting to changing weather is a centuries-old, inherent part of farming. Government regulation, they say, has an immediate impact on farming. Joining us to explain more of what the survey of Northern California farmers gleaned is the lead author, UC Davis researcher Meredith Niles.

Kushman by the Bottle It's crunch time for winemakers who are finding many of their varietals ripening at the same time because of this year's hot, dry weather. In this month's Kushman by the Bottle, our resident wine expert Rick Kushman explains how the wine harvest and crush are going in Northern California, and whether recent fires are going to affect the taste of some vineyards' wines.

Music to Memorialize 9-11 It's been 12 years since three commerical planes were hijacked by terrorists and crashed into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. A fourth plane crashed in a field after its passengers fought back. There are many ways that people remember the day and the thousands of lives lost. American Composer John Adams was asked to create the music for the 9-11 memorial service and he asked his young son Samuel to help by speaking the names of each person being remembered. Twelve years later, Samuel Carl Adams is a composer himself and last year he came to the Mondavi Stage for his Northern California debut and we spoke with him about his role in his father's "Transmigration of Souls." We'll listen back to parts of that original interview and hear some other music written specifically to remember those that lost their lives.

Last night on the supernatural soap Being Human, the series decided to keep it simple. With the tedious vampire politics warming on the back burner we had plenty of time to let this show do what it does best, film a group of snarky, fizzy dialogue.
Did we learn new things about any of these characters deep down inside? Maybe Sally. But mostly, we just sat back and let three good looking supernatural beings crack jokes about sex. It was nice. Spoilers ahead...
This week both Josh and Aidan had a bang-off (their joke). But what was entertaining about the whole sexcapade was watching roommates do what roommates do best — ruthlessly tease each other about the opposite sex and then shoehorn themselves into uncomfortable situations. It was cute, and grounded the cosmic world of vampire, ghost and werewolf in realty. This really is why I keep coming back to this drama. For the cute kids' chemistry.
Of course, none of this is meant to last — this is a Syfy drama after all. Turns out Aidan is shtooping Josh's ex-fiance, that he left when he found out he was a werewolf, for safety reasons. That alters the mood in the house slightly. But not before a few good egg jokes.
While Josh and Aidan attempt to deal with their Days Of Our Lives plotline, Nora goes full-wolf and realizes that if she doesn't lock herself up in the storage unit Josh rented for them, she will probably kill Josh's ex. It's the way of the wolf or something — perhaps if she just peed on Josh, it would be enough for Nora. But safety first. Aidan too is struggling with his urges, as his blood supply in the hospital gets cut off, and now he must resort to a blood prostitute, who charges $300 a bite. My money is on Aidan going nuts and killing his blood hooker and her blood pimp in a blood frenzy. Then he'll have to deal with an even bigger blood pimp! One can hope.
In other supernatural news, Sally finds out that she can be reincarnated into a baby with the help of the cute super-nurse. The catch, the super-nurse must approve. Eager to run away from the problem she created by unleashing the smoke monster into her world, Sally cuts out the middle-nurse and tries to jump into a fresh baby against the sacred nurse's wishes. Suddenly the smoke monster appears and Sally decides not to ruin this child's life. Good for you, Sally.
Nothing Earth-shattering happened this week, but that's OK. Like I said earlier, this show is at its best when it allows the three actors room to make the audience laugh. I'm sure there will be plenty of time for crying later, when the blood pimps get Aidan.

At 5:49 that morning, a private jet arrived in Montreal and picked up the Stanley Cup, the Prince of Wales Trophy, Pittsburgh Penguins' forward Maxime Talbot and the Keepers of the Cup, and then flew them to Halifax International Airport. Just before 8:00AM, the jet landed and was greeted by Sidney Crosby and his father, Troy.
Don't for one moment think that Sidney is the only hockey star in the Crosby household. While Mom, Trina, and little sister, 13-year-old Taylor, are pretty fine hockey players in their own right, Dad was drafted by the Montreal Canadiens in the 12th round of the 1984 NHL Entry Draft. Although the netminder never reached the National Hockey League, his teammates with the Verdun Jr. Canadiens included such future NHL stars as Jimmy Carson, Claude Lemieux and Everett Sanipass.
'Operation Homecoming,' as the day was tagged by military personnel, began with a quick, private snack of sandwiches and fruit, and then Sidney was feted at a special reception with hundreds of those serving their country, plus their families, looking on. Included in the presentation was a birthday cake, decorated with the Penguins' logo and his number 87, and all those on deck sang 'Happy Birthday.' Sidney responded with some stirring comments. "You talk about sacrifice a lot as a hockey player," he began. "The things we sacrifice are very minimal compared to what people have to sacrifice here, with what their families go through and what it takes to serve your country like they do." Crosby later told ESPN.com, "That was pretty emotional, to meet a lot of men and women who serve our country."
After descending the steps to the pier, Crosby and the Cup climbed into an LAV (light-armoured vehicle), Maxime Talbot and the Prince of Wales boarded a second vehicle and the Crosby family and some friends stepped into a third LAV. The procession took them through Halifax to historic Citadel Hill.
Halifax is one of Canada's oldest cities. Established as a British port in 1749, a fort was built on the site of Citadel Hill at that time, acting as a fortress as it overlooked the Halifax Harbour. The current star-shaped fortress, Fort George, was built in 1856. At 12 noon every single day for all 260 years since the fort was first established, a ceremonial cannon is fired, and on this day, that task was bestowed on Sidney Crosby.
The entourage toured Halifax, getting scenic shots with the Stanley Cup all around the area. One important stop was at the IWK Health Centre, where Sidney took the Stanley Cup to visit the young patients staying there. Prepared for their hero's visit, several children presented Crosby with homemade birthday cards, while others gave him their replica Stanley Cups, created out of empty toilet paper rolls and tinfoil. Cupcakes and another birthday cake were given to Sidney, who ensured that every youngster got a picture with him and the Stanley Cup.
The fans were lined at least six-deep all along Cole Harbour Road, the numbers far exceeding the expectations of organizers. "I never would have imagined it like that," he said. "I expected it to be good, but this was incredible, and it really kind of hit me!" All along the parade route, fans wearing Penguins' jerseys waved and shouted out birthday greetings. Sidney laughed at the number of signs he saw that read: 'It's My Birthday Too, Sidney!'
The number of attendees to Crosby's Stanley Cup parade was pegged at a staggering 75,000, and is the single largest crowd ever for a one-player event. It was a stark and emotional realization for the Penguins' young captain. "Going down Cole Harbour Road, I was fighting back tears," he admitted to ESPN.com. "I grew up on those streets. I was thinking about all those times that I was either playing street hockey or running before school. You're seeing everyone but you're also thinking about everything that got you there. I used to go to Subway in that strip mall there and the grocery store and Tim Hortons. I used to go there all the time. At that moment, I think it hit me pretty hard what was going on."
As the parade route turned onto Forest Hills Parkway, it took members of the Halifax Police Force and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police to keep the surging crowd from completely enveloping the parade participants. They arrived safely at Cole Harbour Place, the recreation centre and arena where Sidney once played.
Mayor Peter Kelly welcomed Crosby, and thanked him for putting Cole Harbour on the world map. He then declared Friday, August 7, 2009 as 'Sidney Crosby Day,' and the crowd went wild.
When it came his turn to speak, the humble hero made an impact by stating, "I know there's a lot of young kids here that are watching and seeing the Stanley Cup up close. I'm sure a lot of you are dreaming of winning it yourself, either go through it when you're playing road hockey or when you're on the rink. I just want to let you know that I did the same thing and the proof is right here that you can do it, so go for it!" The eruption of cheers was deafening, and Sidney could only smile, glancing at the Stanley Cup he had helped capture. He tagged his comments by saying, "I would love to be able to say that this is something that's going to happen every year, and I really hope it happens again sooner than later. For everyone here, and for me personally, this is something I'm going to soak up and enjoy. Enjoy every second of it."
While pictures were being taken inside, on the tennis courts beside Cole Harbour Place, Sidney and a number of his childhood friends staged a roller hockey game. The NHL's premier forward didn't play forward back in those days he was always a goalie, and this day was no different. Sidney suited up in pads, chest protector, blocker, trapper and mask. "I always played goal for some reason," Sidney explained, and his father could only wink and smile.
Crosby's team thumped their opponents 7-3, and at centre ice, Phil Pritchard and Walt Neubrand, this day's Cup Keepers, pulled on their requisite white gloves and together, presented the victors with the Stanley Cup. Sidney hoisted the Cup over his head but his teammates, respectful of hockey tradition, did not follow suit, and simply carried the Cup very proudly, we might add around the perimeter of the tennis courts, while hundreds of fans applauded the celebration. "I grew up with these guys and since we were 5 or 6, we played exactly the same way we did today," smiled Sidney. "It felt like it did ten years ago. We probably played for the Stanley Cup 500 times, whether it was snowing or raining or dark. It was just really fun to be able to share that with them."
Joined by rocker Sam Roberts, Sidney, his family and friends, cruised the Halifax Harbour, finally able to relax a little with the Stanley Cup. A few boaters spotted Sidney and/or the Stanley Cup, but for an hour or so, the time was their own. When the ship docked, the group clambered into one of the amphibious 'Hippo' vehicles that is able to act as either a boat or a ground vehicle. Laughing away, they toured up and down the hilly streets of Halifax before calling it a night. "Wherever the Cup goes, it draws attention everywhere," Sidney said. "It's amazing to see how important it is for people to be able to be up close to it. That's why I'm happy to be doing it."
One item on display that has grown wildly important in hockey legend is the Crosby family's battered dryer. When Sidney was small, he used to practise his shot by firing pucks at a net in the basement of their home. But if he missed the net, the pucks banged off the dryer, sounding a hollow 'kerrang' and leaving nice, deep welts in the white enamel. Over time, the outside of the dryer was all but demolished, although it still left the family's clothes 'meadow fresh.' Trina donated the old dryer, and on this Saturday morning, it served as the perfect perch for the Stanley Cup.
Sidney took the Stanley Cup back to his Mom and Dad's home, and sat with the legendary trophy in his old bedroom, still adorned with hockey posters on the walls. A lot of hockey dreams were formulated in that room, and on this day, the biggest of them was realized.
Almost begrudgingly, Sidney left the family home, stopping for a photograph by the sign that welcomes visitors to Cole Harbour. Then, it was off to a private party at his waterfront home, not far from his parents' house. The musical entertainment was very special Great Big Sea. The band, one of Newfoundland's greatest exports, is the consummate party band, and has enjoyed hits like 'When I'm Up (I Can't Get Down),' 'Ordinary Day,' and 'End of the World' from their triple-platinum album, 'Play.'
The band performed several more songs, including 'Ordinary Day.' The Hockey Hall of Fame uses this track for its commercial, featuring the Keeper of the Cup, Phil Pritchard, who stood by laughing, tapping his fingers to the beat while wearing his white gloves. At that point, a beautiful, big cake was brought out for a further birthday celebration for Sidney.
Sidney was savouring the time he had earned with the Stanley Cup, and took some private time with the trophy he had worked so hard to collect. He ran his fingers over the patina of the trophy, stopping to read names every so often, and realizing that no matter what awards and rewards come his way through hockey, his legacy is assured as his name will be engraved on the Stanley Cup alongside all the other greats of the game.
The day had again evaporated, and it was time for the Stanley Cup to leave Cole Harbour. Sidney turned to the Cup Keepers. "Hey guys, before you take the Cup away, can ask a huge favour?"
"Sure, anything," came the reply.
"I'd really like to wash the Stanley Cup now that my time is over. Is that cool?"
"Absolutely," said the Hockey Hall of Fame representatives, and with that, Sidney methodically scrubbed hockey's greatest prize. He was almost as masterful with the cloth as he is with a hockey stick, and was flabbergasted when the Cup Keepers teased him that he wasn't doing a thorough enough job. In fact, it was spotless.
Reflecting on the experience of spending time with the Stanley Cup, Crosby got wistful, and said, "It's better than I ever would have imagined. It's the goal that you work so hard for. When you finally do it, you realize the experience that comes with it, and how good that is. It doesn't get much better than this. It worked out great. I couldn't think of a better way to celebrate!"
Kris Letang and Chris Kunitz take their turns to celebrate on Tuesday when we turn to the next entry in the Stanley Cup Journal.

127 Hours Fan Retraces Aron Ralston's Steps, Survives 96 Hours After Leg-Shattering Fall
There were many lessons you could have taken away from the movie 127 Hours, but if you had to boil it down to just one, it would probably be this: Never head out on a solo hiking trip to Utah's Canyonlands National Park without telling anyone. Well, Amos Wayne Richards, a 64-year-old from Concord, North Carolina, took away some different lessons entirely from 127 Hours. His lessons were all about the triumph of the human spirit and the fundamentality of man vs. nature and all that other spiritual crap that completely went out my ear the second James Franco sawed his arm off with a dull utility tool.
And so, Richards headed out to Canyonlands to retrace the steps of Aron Ralston, whose harrowing journey through Little Blue John Canyon was the one told in 127 Hours. Well, things didn't turn out so well for Richards, either. On that September 8th trek, Richards took a ten-foot plunge not far from where Ralston found himself trapped beneath a boulder. The fall broke Richards' leg and dislocated his shoulder.
"It took me about 3 or 4 minutes to work my shoulder and get it back in place and once I got it back in place, I stood up and realized my ankle hurt a little bit," Richards told WBTV in Charlotte.
Luckily, park rangers had noticed that Richards had failed to return to his campsite that night, and a search began the next day. His car was spotted two days later parked near the Little Blue John trailhead.
The search was "pretty quick and dirty" once they realized where Richards had gone hiking, [a park spokesman] said. Within hours, a helicopter spotted Richards, who used the flash on his camera to catch the pilot's attention only a couple of miles from his car.
Richards was treated for a shattered leg — which he retained! — and dehydration, and is currently recuperating in North Carolina. Let's hope Alive isn't the next movie on his Netflix queue while he does. [Guardian, Charleston Daily Mail, image via Fox Searchlight]

h2 quartet - Groove Machine
h2 quartet - Groove Machine
The saxophone is an instrument that firmly established the concept of groove in jazz and popular music in the twentieth century, and with the collection of works on the aptly-titled Groove Machine, the h2 quartet extracts that aesthetic and shows that it's alive and well in the postmodern art music of today. The recording title comes directly out of the first work by the postminimalist composer Marc Mellits. His Revolution Quartet uses the four saxophones of h2 to unabashedly showcase the strong influence of rock music on contemporary American composers. From the intricately-weaved minimalist lines of "Groove Canon," the quirky stop-start rhythms of "Mara's Toys" to the driving, guitar-derived power chords of "Groove Machine," one feels the myriad of pop music that flavored New York during the 1980s and changed the world over the last few decades. From there, the recording takes a short-lived journey back to mid-century modernism with the beginning of Univocity by composer Amy Williams. The pointillist chords of the opening soon sputter into a highly-charged rhythmic machine, using the quartet as a single unit, with occasional outbursts from all four players. Local flavors dominate for the next two works of the recording, with Tango Virtuoso by Thierry Escaich as a nod to the lasting popularity of the concert tango (a la Piazzolla), and Murray Gross' The Wild Wild West as a fresh setting of American-styled western harmonies (think Aaron Copland meets Elliot Carter). The second major work on Groove Machine is a concert setting of dance rhythms and melodies which are perhaps lesser-known than the tango, but certainly no less important. Composer Victor Marquez Barrios successfully blends Ragtime, Brazilian Choro, Venezuelan folk tunes, and the Pambiche (a cousin of merengue) into the four movements of his Saxteto, showing the incredible versatility of the h2 quartet. Groove Machine closes with a work that sums up the recording, as well as the strength of this ensemble: the presentation of contemporary works that are both challenging and provocative, yet remain highly appealing to a wide audience. Engrenages (French for "gears") by Alexandros Markeas is a collaborative work for saxophone quartet and improviser. The ensemble goes through several gears in an intense few minutes, from syncopated grooves to complicated rhythmic stabs. Pianist Sergei Kvitko moves ably from late Romantic virtuosity to the walking bass of a jazz combo, maintaining the pulsing rhythms and subtly-changing harmonies that make this recording a whirlwind from start to finish.
