What are Power Plans for a Windows 7 Laptop?
A Windows 7 power plan can help you manage the battery life of your laptop. Windows 7 power plans have preset timings for actions such as dimming your screen or putting your computer to sleep. Managing battery life (the length of time it takes your laptop to run out of power) is important because without battery power, your laptop must be plugged in in order to use it.
If you don't like how a power plan manages the power on your laptop, you can customize it. You can also set some options separately, such as how much time lapses before your laptop automatically goes to sleep, and what happens when you press the laptop's power button or close the lid.
1Choose Start→Control Panel→Hardware and Sound→Power Options.
The Power Options window appears.
2Locate the Hide Additional Plans section.
If this section isn't already displayed, click the downward arrow on the Show Additional Plans section; doing so changes the arrow's direction to upward and the Hide Additional Plans section displays.
3Click the radio button next to a plan to select it, and then click the Close button to close the window.
Note that there might be a laptop manufacturer's power plan among your selections, such as the HP Recommended option shown here.
The Power Saver plan shown here in the Plans Shown on the Battery Meter section causes your computer to go to sleep more frequently and dims the screen brightness. A higher-performance setting will never put the computer to sleep and will have a brighter screen setting. If you run your laptop on a battery frequently, the Power Saver plan is your best bet.

Hello all, new to this site. Just thought i'd make a comment about some of the insensitive remrks I've recieve since the passing (oct 12, 2011) of my beautiful better half. Most comments I let go in one ear and out the othe. But this one really set me off. A work associate who knows I am an atheist asked how I felt knowing that my wife (a liberal baptist) was going to spend an eternity with jesus while I burn forever in hell.
If I didn't know that her remarks were made out of ignorance, I would be in jail right now for assault.
Instead of bashing her face in, I explained that although my wife beleived in a god she didn't believe that any loving god would send anyone to hell for any reason. My wife loved me and understood how I felt about god(s). She never tried to convert me to her point of view, and didn't try to convert her. We had a long very happy life together and I will miss her very much. The last year of her life was lived in constant pain and I am glad that she no longer gas to stay awake at night crying because of the pain. She no longer hurts. Only I hurt now, and I know that when I die, that pain will stop. I quit that job today because I had two jobs and my wife wanted me to quit one because (she said) of how tired I was from working so hard. I now believe she wanted me to quit so I could spend more time with her. I wish I did quit sooner. But now I have the time to take care of her house and yard (which she kept immaculate) and to take care of our little Pug.
One chapter of my life is over and a new one begins. I will keep her memory alive and live my life as happily as she wanted me to live it.
Thank you for letting me vent

Hello Paul
I understand how awful it is to both see our loved ones in constant pain, and to be in pain myself. I told the story of the very traumatic experience I had with the hospital system during my late husband's dying on another thread here. I feel so scarred by it that I am determined to manage my own pain and to die at home . It was a brutal experience. People could simply not allow me to be silent on the subject of religion and once I disclosed my atheism, they violated my beliefs in every way possible . Kathy
Hello Kathy
Thank you for your understanding. I really didn't make my atheism widely known, never saw any reason to, but as soon as I 'came out', many of my so-called friends and relatives treated me as if I were Satan incarnate. They can beleive as they wish, and I will in no way try to change their minds, I only ask for the same treatment.
My born again sister-in-law decided my husband and I were both gay, lol. I wrote about that on the "I came out...." thread. Brutal people.
Hi Paul-
Welcome to the site. I'm so sorry that, on top of your grief, you had to listen to people who chose to use your time of sadness to push their own beliefs on you. I have had well-meaning people say inappropriate things to me, but your story far surpasses inappropriate. Wishing you all the best-
Hey Annie
Thank you for your best wishes. I really appreciate all the love and support the atheist community has given me...way more uplifting than any theist can give. thank you
Hi, Paul, condolences on the loss of your beloved wife. I am really sorry you were blindsided by that mean person's remark. That was not ignorance, that was intentionally hurtful :-( As we all know, calling oneself a "Christian" does not mean one is a good and kind person.
Please take comfort in the fact that you had her and were loved by her for as long as you did. It's a cliche, but truly it is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. Right now you are in pain, but I hope you can come to the time when you will be able to look at pictures of her, and treasure your sweet memories of stories and experiences. She would be happy for you to remember her with love. (((((hugs))))
Hey Natalie
I really am happy I found this web site. So much love and encouragement has flown into me today than at any other time during this loss. I am literally in tears at the comfort you have all given me. I know that life will continue and each passing day makes me stronger. I thank you all

Riedel 101: Grape Varietal Specific Glassware
by Erin Ogilvie
We're going back to basics.
Read our interview with Riedel Australia and New Zealand's Managing Director Mark Baulderstone about the philosophy behind our products and how they are designed.
Mark Baulderstone has been championing Riedel's varietal specific philosophy since 1995, and has hosted their icnoic Sensory Workshops to industry and consumers across Australia, New Zealand and Asia.
When asked how many people he thinks he has educated in his career, he laughs and shrugs. "I'd have no idea... maybe ten thousand?!"
This is probably the question you get asked most of all so let's get straight to it: do you really need different glasses for different wines?
In a word: yes. We know as an indisputable fact that Riedel glasses highlight and showcase the best attributes of grape varietals, and wine becomes something that you buy based on variety. Customers always look for similarities in wines that they've enjoyed in the past, and the DNA of the grape varietal is the number one link behind that, not brands or regions. It's the key.
When you say, people look for variety, you're talking about going into a bottle shop or saying to a sommelier, "I really love Marlborough Chardonnay, what else can you recommend?"
Exactly. And they might say, "Have you tried a Chardonnay from the Central Otago?" They're not going to say, "Great, have you tried Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc?" Because they're completely different animals. You've put an emphasis on the varietal; you haven't just said, "I like all wines from the Yarra Valley."
All wine is consumed for enjoyment purposes, and if the glass enhances that and you get better enjoyment, why wouldn't you use the right glass? It just makes sense.
How are varietal specific glasses designed?
Riedel is completely unique in this process, and it's one that we created and only we use.
We shape by trial and error. We conduct workshops around the world where we engage with winemakers, sommeliers, and experts, for the purpose of making glasses compete against each other. We look at one wine in lots of different shapes of glasses in a panel format, not just Riedel, and it's a competition. There has to be a consensus on which glass performs the best.
As these are experts, there is occasionally one left of centre result, but nine out of ten times you find parallels in the way that they think the varietals look in the glass.
How many people are usually in the panel, and how many glasses do you compare?
It depends on lots of factors. We've had panels around 24 people, which is probably a bit much as each person has anywhere up to 20 glasses, so there's a lot going on. Our preference is around 12.
The number of glasses we use depends on the varietal and what we're trying to achieve. For example, we recently did a workshop in Marlborough for our new Sauvignon Blanc glass, and used 17 different glasses.
And did you only do this workshop once?
No, we do it multiple times, on multiple occasions, with different panels and different wines. We want to look at different styles of the same varietal so our information is as broad as possible, and we know that different people give different results.
But it's interesting because we always end up with the same glasses [performing best]. Why? Because the DNA does not change! Winemakers don't make Sauvignon Blanc to look like Riesling, or Chardonnay, because consumers want Sauvignon Blanc that looks like Sauvignon Blanc. The DNA is the critical part; the "mould" of what the varietal is, determines the shape and size of the glass.
You already have a Sauvignon Blanc glass in the range, so why make another?
Because the producers in Marlborough hounded me for two years, asking us to come back! Georg Riedel and I first made the trip to Marlborough for the workshops in 1997, and they said the style has changed over the past 20 years.
Coincidentally, while I was conducting tastings in New Zealand, Maximilian Riedel was conducting tastings in Italy, looking at Sauvignon Blanc from different regions in Italy and in Europe. We had no idea the other was doing it, but when we overlayed the results we ended up with very similar information.
Interestingly, and I'm very proud to say this, the Vinum glass that we produced back in 1997 was one of the most standout, high performing glasses. It wasn't the winner on the day but, from recollection, it was second or third.
So it still works.
It still works, and is still relevant. This is the level where I say that we're really splitting hairs. One winemaker, who makes wine technically, might see it completely differently to another, who makes wine for the consumer, but they should both contribute to the end result. We've learnt a lot more about our glasses in the past 20 years, like the differentiation between Old World and New World. So now we offer both Old and New World glasses in our modern range Veritas because we believe both are relevant in a modern context.
We're really talking about subtleties and nuances, but the consumer doesn't need to see it to this level. It simply comes down to the level of energy, effort and attention that goes into the design of one glass. It's a process that we labour over, so the consumer can trust us.
Riedel has an enormous range. What would you recommend to a wine lover starting their glass collection?
Choose a small collection of glasses based around the varietals you love. I'd recommend starting with three varietals, maybe one white and two reds, and that'll be enough to keep you going until you're ready to learn about something else.
The problem with wine education is that there are so many different varietals that, if you go too broad, you never really learn much about anything. Choose some varietals you already know and spend a few months on those, from different winemakers, different regions, and different vintages. It's a great way to learn what you do and don't like, and start to look at the nuances and characters that these wines offer.
Of course, you also need to decide whether, if you're having large dinner parties, you're prepared for everyone to share in that experience, or if it's just for you and your partner, or just for yourself.
What's the easiest way for people to know what glass they should be using, based on the varietals they like?
There's two ways: first of all, the glass is always named after the varietal, like Veritas Cabernet or Veritas Riesling. We also have an app that you can download that will give you this information.
The only question then comes to which range you choose, and this would be based around budget. From a varietal perspective, we have everything from $25 and above, per piece. There are choices that are not going to break the bank, so pick a glass you're comfortable with and use it every day. Well, every day you're drinking wine, which if you're like me …

I wanted to put the word out in hopes that someone might have picked up a fun blue leopard print fun fur hat, with a black marabou trim around the brim. I lost it Friday somewhere between Root Society and Red Nose district, or as far down 9:30 and Estuary at the port-a-potties. Please please please if you or someone you know found my cherished hat ( which was custom made for me by a very good friend and matches my beautiful blue coat) I would be thrilled to get it back. This coat and hat have extreme sentimental value to me, so PLEASE if you know who has it, let them know! I would pay for shipping and send a very nifty gift in return. Here is a picture of me wearing it in '03 with the coat at Dawn after the Burn. Thank you!!!!
Blue coat and Hat
Lost Blue leopard print hat!
If you were wearing it, and you lost it, here's where to ask if anyone found it.
6 posts • Page 1 of 1
Small update. The hat is still missing, but I am pretty sure I lost it in a crowd of people watching a fire performance near the front of Cirque Bizerque right on the Esplanade, on Friday evening/Saturday morning, about 2:30 am. About. There was also a telescope I stopped at on 9:30 near Estuary. If any one you know of was there at the time could you please ask around? I adore this hat! Plus its getting cold where I live now,and my head needs it!
Okay! So I know that all you Burners are busting out your bins of dusty costume in preparation for this years event. So with that in mind, can I ask you to take a looksie for my hat? I still miss it TERRIBLY and am willing to up my offer of an equally nifty hat, plus arm warmers, or legwarmers, and blinkie-flashies for my beloved blue hat. Items will be custom made from fuzzy of my choice, to your own measurements. Please if you know someone who found it, let them know too!! :cry:

The ice isn�t leaving any time soon.
The ice isn�t leaving any time soon.
This week�s combination of freezing rain, sleet, snow and low temperatures means the ice on the roads in the area has proved to be a stubborn visitor for the North Carolina Department of Transportation.
�Mainly, everything is still partially covered with ice,� said Amanda Glynn, bridge programs manager for the N.C. DOT. �The freezing rain, sleet and snow all combined to make a pretty difficult situation.�
Glynn, who has been keeping track of the progress made in the N.C. DOT's third division � which includes Onslow County � said road workers have been on the job around the clock, but the elements have made it difficult to make progress. On Wednesday night and Thursday morning, temperatures in parts of Onslow County dipped into the single digits and freezing temperatures were forecast in the area for overnight and today.
�It's an ongoing battle,� Glynn said. �We were expecting it. We knew everything that melted during the day would refreeze overnight. We're just going to keep fighting the battle.
�If it were just snow, it would be one thing, but the ice has made it much harder.�
Another factor that has made clearing the road a difficult task has been vehicles that have compacted the snow and ice, making it denser and making the bond between the road and the winter mix tighter.
The N.C. DOT is fighting the roadway ice by plowing the roads and then coating them with salt and sand to help accelerate the melting process. The department follows a procedure to determine the order in which roadways are treated, starting at the most vital and traveled upon routes, which are part of the Bare Pavement System, then moving to secondary roads with high traffic counts and then to smaller, less traveled on secondary roads.
According to Glynn, the N.C. DOT's primary target for ice removal in Onslow County is U.S. 17 and N.C. 24, the county's major thoroughfares. Once they're taken care of, Glynn said work will start on the county's other major routes, including N.C. 53, 111 and 50, U.S. 258 and the major secondary roads, including Western Boulevard, Gum Branch Road and Henderson Drive. Onslow County's bridges, which connect to the major routes, are also a top priority for road crews as they try to make travel safer for Onslow County residents.
�We're hoping the sun will do more of the work than we will on the smaller secondary roads,� Glynn said. �Sunshine is our best ally in this.�
Glynn said crews plan on working on secondary routes today. The forecast calls for sunny skies and temperatures in the upper 40s, which Glynn hopes will make a significant impact on the N.C. DOT's efforts. Glynn warns, though, that despite the higher temperatures, the roads may still be a danger as the weekend begins.
�There are still going to be some icy spots, especially on bridges and overpasses,� Glynn said. �I want to stress that when people see a plow on the road that they need to give them plenty of space. Be careful when driving on areas that are shaded. It's more difficult for the sun to shine through, and there may still be ice there.�
As the roads refroze on Thursday morning, Highway Patrol had their hands full. Sgt. Shannon Whaley of Highway Patrol said Troop B, which covers Onslow and 10 other counties in southeastern North Carolina, responded to 230 reportable collisions as of approximately 1:30 p.m. Reportable collisions include fatalities, personal injuries or damage worth $1,000 or more.
�Those are just the reportable incidents,� Whaley said. �If we kept track of everything that happened, with cars stuck on the side of the road, it would probably be in the thousands.�
No roads have been closed by N.C. DOT in Onslow County, a fact Whaley attributes to all roads being in such poor conditions due to weather that no viable detours can be found. Whaley emphasized the importance of staying off the roads for non-essential travel, saying it puts drivers and everyone around them in jeopardy.
�It's unsafe for everyone out there,� Whaley said. �People are going to the gym or sightseeing and they end up in a ditch. The roads are like glass and we might not be able to get to you. My advice is: Just stay home.�
Trooper J.D. Kirk of Highway Patrol also warned drivers to stay away from the roads, especially secondary roads like Gum Branch Road. Country Club Road was closed briefly on Thursday to allow DOT to work on a dip in the road near its intersection with Piney Green Road. JPD has not reported any incidents on Piney Green Road, though they did respond to eight wrecks in their overall jurisdiction between midnight and noon on Thursday.

Slutever - 1994
In 1994, underground music was dirty, stained with self-loathing and doubt. Losers ruled and the dirge of the Northwest had crept into the mainstream. It was an era that inspired two young girls to pursue an unforgiving future in punk rock. But with a taste for underground comix, junk food and all things low brow, Slutever owe as much to Beavis and Butthead as they do to Kurt and Courtney. These self described brat punks make their Jade Tree debut with this two-song dark and fuzz-filled 7".

The Creation Of The Universe
The Basic Concepts in the Qur'an
Spirit, Conscience and Soul
We are already aware of the two aspects of the soul: the one inspiring evil, and wicked deeds, and the other guarding against every inculcation of evil. The latter guides man to righteousness, as explained in the Qur'an. Allah breathed into him something of His spirit; this is the spirit, the conscience.
In Surat As-Sajda, Allah informs us about this:
He Who has made everything which He has created most good: He began the creation of man with (nothing more than) clay, and made his progeny from a quintessence of the nature of a fluid despised: But He fashioned him in due proportion, and breathed into him something of His spirit. And He gave you (the faculties of) hearing and sight and feeling (and understanding): little thanks do you give! (As-Sajda, 7-9)
As long as the individual follows the voice of his conscience, he will be like a model displaying the attributes of Allah in his personality.
Man's concience is in compliance with all the commandments of Allah. Two verses in the Surat Ar-Rum are quite explanatory:
No, the wrong-doers (merely) follow their own lusts, being devoid of knowledge. But who will guide those whom Allah leaves astray? For them there will be no helpers.
According to the verses, unbelievers go astray by following their own lusts.What believers, on the other hand, must do is to follow the religion Allah communicates to man through revelation. This religion offers a life style which is most suitable tho the nature of man and his conscience, that is, to the spirit Allah has breathed into him.

Housing in LeeuwardenMoving to Leeuwarden can be a smart move if you do not want to live in a small village, nor in a very big and crowded city. This city in the north of the Netherlands is cosy and comfortable. Admittedly, you are not in the hustle and bustle of the 'Randstad', but those who move to Leeuwarden are probably not looking for a crowd. Yet, you will not be bored in Leeuwarden! There are lots to do in the city, and the surroundings are obviously beautiful - "Friesland, waterland" is certainly not a lie. Leeuwarden and the province Friesland do have canals, rivers and even a seaside! Lots of people visit the city before they head off to the small island 'Ameland'.
Leeuwarden is certainly not a boring city to call your home. It is a very busy city in terms of events and culture and Leeuwarden has been chosen as 'European Capital of Culture' in 2018. It is definitely a student city with several HBO and MBO studies that focus on both national and international students. If you are studying or going to study in this city, it is a good idea to rent a room, studio or apartment in Leeuwarden.

Paul Joseph Watson & Alex Jones
Tuesday, May 15, 2012
Could a former FBI Special Agent who investigated the OKC Bombing and the 9/11 attacks be the victim of a set-up?
"A former FBI Supervisory special agent who worked on some of the bureau's most high profile terrorism and bombing cases including the Unabomber case, the USS Cole bombing, the Oklahoma City bombing and the 1993 World Trade Center bombing and the 9/11 attacks, has been arrested and charged with distributing child pornography," reports ABC News.
Donald J. Sachtleben left the FBI in 2008 after a 25-year career spanning the globe. After searching the computer of another individual, Jason Nicoson, which contained images of child pornography, FBI investigators discovered an IP address and connected it to Sachtleben's home in Carmel, Indiana.
Agents then searched Sachtleben's laptop and purportedly found 30 obscene images on his hard drive that were identical to those discovered on Nicoson's computer.
"Sachleben's wife was interviewed during the execution of the search warrant and denied any knowledge of the child pornography found in Sony VAIO laptop or any involvement with child pornography distribution or possession," FBI Special Agent Kerri Reifel wrote in the affidavit.
Given the ease with which Internet Protocol Spoofing can be used to impersonate another computer system, is it possible that Sachtleben is the victim of a set-up? The FBI is notorious for setting people up in the context of everything from manufacturing terrorist plots to nabbing hackers.
Did Sachtleben, as chief investigator of some of the most notorious terror plots in history, including the 1993 World Trade Center bombing which was allowed to take place by the FBI after a plan to have their informant Emad Salem replace the bomb with dummy explosives was called off, in possession of information deemed too sensitive for him to remain a free man?
- A d v e r t i s e m e n t
- {openx:74}
For the FBI to bust one of its own is something of a surprise, given the fact that other individuals and corporations with direct ties to government routinely escape punishment for engaging in heinous sex crimes against children even worse than what Sachleben is charged with.
Dozens of National Security Agency, DARPA, and other Pentagon officials were caught in possession of child pornography back in 2010 but the story disappeared into obscurity as several of the accused fled the country.
In addition, a year after it had been established that Dyncorp was involved in global child sex slave rings, the U.S. government continued to award the company new contracts. Dyncorp and Halliburton subsidiary KBR successfully lobbied against a law that would have barred companies involved in the sex trade scandal from doing business with the U.S. government and the whole story was buried.
The FBI always seems to be happy to burn individuals like Sachtleben for allegedly possessing child pornography, yet when it comes to the big boys, the perpetrators are protected and even rewarded by the federal government for similar and in many cases far worse sex crimes against children.

State strikes deal to return container shipping to PortlandState strikes deal to return container shipping to Portland
Icelandic shipping company signs deal with state
Portland's on-again, off-again container cargo shipping service is on again.
An Icelandic shipping company has signed a contract with the Maine Port Authority to set up container freight service in Portland linking the city to eastern Canada and Europe.
Gov. Paul LePage said Tuesday that an Eimskip ship will stop in Portland every 14 days, providing new opportunities for Maine's agricultural, forest and seafood industries.
Eimskip says it's adding Portland as a port call at the end of March, replacing Norfolk, Va., as part of the arrangement, Eimskip is partnering with Pan Am Railways to offer rail access to North American markets.
Portland has been without container cargo service since last spring, when a New York-based company ended service that linked Portland, Boston and Halifax, Nova Scotia.

Sauerkraut? In salad dressing?
Come on, don't judge, just go with it.
Let's take a step back for a minute. Suppose you don't tolerate vinegar, or can't eat it because you're on the ACD. Store bought vinegar free salad dressing is often hard to find, and in my opinion doesn't really taste all that great. Sure, you can make your own dressings using lemon juice instead, but what if you also can't eat citrus (like me!)? Now it is doubly hard to dress a salad. How does someone make a vinegar free, citrus free dressing that still tastes tart and tangy? What's a vinegar free, citrus free person to do?
One solution? Sauerkraut, baby!
Sauerkraut provides an awesome base for a vinegar free, citrus free salad dressing! Since it has a naturally tart and tangy flavor, it makes a great substitute. I added a bunch of fresh and dried herbs and a little garlic for kick, and ended up with something truly inspired. And not only will this dressing liven up your greens, it also packs an awesome nutritional punch. Like all lacto-fermented foods, raw sauerkraut is full of healthy lactobactilli bacteria, good for strengthening the immune system and restoring proper flora in the gut. Garlic is a powerful detoxifying and naturally anti-bacterial food, and parsley is an amazing source of vitamin A and polyphenols. If you want to, throw in a little heart-healthy, omega-packed oil like olive, flax, or hempseed.
Packed with nutrients, über-cleansing for your body, and full of flavor, this salad dressing is sure to become a favorite. Plus, it is bright green and fun to look at.
So make a batch, get some greens, and eat up. Or add slightly less water so it is thicker, and use as a vegetable dip. Detoxifying never tasted so delicious!
NOTE: Sauerkraut and other fermented foods are a touchy issue for Candida. Some people dealing with Candida don't tolerate fermented vegetables like sauerkraut, while many other people do. Many ACD plans(like The Body Ecology Diet) encourage the use of lacto-fermented vegetables, kefir, and other cultured foods, while other diet plans do not. Use your best judgement and consult with your healthcare provider if you have concerns regarding the consumption of fermented vegetables during your ACD.
yield 2 cups
1 c raw sauerkraut, packed
1 - 1 1/2 c water, to reach desired consistency
1 garlic clove
a couple small handfuls fresh parsley
fresh or dry dill, to taste
fresh or dry basil, to taste
fresh or dry chives, to taste
other herbs, as desired
optional: 1-2 T extra virgin olive oil, flax oil, or hemp oil
Place all ingredients in a blender, starting with a small amount of herbs, and blend until totally smooth.
Add more herbs to taste as desired. If necessary, add more water to reach desired consistency.
Serve immediately, and refrigerate leftovers. Should keep about 7 days in the refrigerator. If using dried herbs and omitting garlic, this should keep for a REALLY long time.
Omit the herbs and try one of these variations - I haven't tried any these, I'm just brainstorming for you : )
- add sesame oil, ginger, and chili flakes
- add a blob of nut or seed butter
- use kimchee instead of sauerkraut for a spicy version
- add miso paste
- add spinach or kale along with the herbs
- add curry powder and cilantro
- other ideas? let me know what you try!

Fans are unlikely to hurl cans of Miller Lite while hollering "Sacrilege!" at this Ferrari F430, set to race in the British GT Championship. That's right, this Ferrari borrows its STP-themed paint from Richard Petty's old NASCAR racer.
Like the Aston Martin DBR9 that revived the classic Gulf livery for Le Mans 2 years ago, it's actually great to see the a classic paint scheme revived on a modern race car, even if that car is totally different from the original. They just forgot one thing: the blue wheels. [via 0-60]

Demand Equality & Diversity at Cannes & All Film Festivals/
To the Jurors of the Cannes Film Festival
You will spend the next 11 days watching 22 films that the programmers and leaders of the Cannes Film Festival deemed to be the worthiest of this year's competition.
The Cannes Film Festival is one of the most prestigious festivals in the world. Festival Films including last year's Oscar winner The Artist have gone on to have long and successful lives, and filmmakers' careers have been launched on the Croisette. As we all know, the opportunities to have your film seen on a world stage is invaluable.
For the 2012 edition, as with the 2010 edition, there are NO FEMALE DIRECTED FILMS in competition, and in the 64 years of the Festival only one woman -- Jane Campion -- has been awarded the Palme D'Or.
Festival director Thierry Fremaux responded to the recent manifesto from La Barbe - a French feminist action group - which decried the lack of women by saying:
"I select work on the basis of it actual qualities. We would never agree to select a film that doesn't deserve it on the basis it was made by a woman…There is no doubt that greater space needs to be given to women within cinema. But it's not at Cannes and in the month of May that this question needs to be raised, but rather all year and everywhere."
We call for Cannes, and other film festivals worldwide to commit to transparency and equality in the selection process of these films. We judge films as human beings, shaped by our own perspectives and experiences. It is vital, therefore, that there be equality and diversity at the point of selection.
Mr. Fremaux is correct in stating that women's rights must be addressed year round. We, the undersigned, encourage an industry-wide discussion about this issue, and call on the leaders throughout the industry to participate in and contribute to a dialogue about how we can, to quote Mr. Fremaux, "create a greater space for women within cinema."
Sign the petition and see all the signatures. https://www.change.org/petitions/cannes-film-festival-where-are-the-women-directors#
I have signed. Have you?

Improved Understanding and Management of Pancreatic Cancer
Advances, Winter 2013
Focus:Despite improved surgical outcomes in localized pancreatic cancer, more effective treatment approaches are needed for locally advanced and metastatic disease. In the diagnostics arena, improvements in imaging techniques have resulted in the detection of an increased number of pancreatic cysts, leading to the need for more refined approaches to distinguishing low-risk pancreatic cysts from those that require more aggressive intervention. Efforts at Massachusetts General Hospital to address these needs include offering proton beam therapy, which increases the chance of a margin-negative resection while reducing radiation time from six weeks to five days, and combining proton beam therapy with standard and novel chemotherapies, including FOLFIRINOX. Clinical and laboratory studies at Mass General utilize the resources of a robust database and extensive tissue laboratory to identify new targets for small molecule development and to develop minimally invasive tests to help predict the malignant potential of cysts.
Currently, surgical resection offers patients with pancreatic cancer the only chance of cure. The dearth of early screening and diagnostic techniques for pancreatic cancer, however, means that the disease is frequently advanced at the time of diagnosis, complicating surgery and, in many cases, rendering the tumor inoperable. Over the past few decades, says Keith D. Lillemoe, MD, chief of surgery at Massachusetts General Hospital, surgical outcomes at high-volume surgical centers like Mass General have improved dramatically as a result of technical expertise and improved perioperative care. However, new treatment approaches are needed for this challenging disease.
Pancreas specialists at Mass General are pioneering myriad approaches to managing pancreatic cancer at all stages, including efforts to determine which patients need surgery first and which need preoperative therapy to convert unresectable, locally advanced tumors to ones that can be safely resected. These efforts are aimed at biopsy-confirmed pancreatic adenocarcinomas; malignant neuroendocrine tumors of the pancreas have a different biology and are treated under different protocols.
Proton Beam Cuts Radiation to Five Days
Mass General physicians have long been at the forefront in the evaluation of radiation and chemoradiation to improve outcomes. As one of the few centers in the U.S. offering proton beam therapy (PBT) for pancreatic cancer, Mass General is now the site of studies aimed at combining the tissue-sparing advantages of proton beam therapy with standard and emerging chemotherapies to safely maximize the chance of a margin-negative resection while reducing radiation time.
Current treatment for patients with pancreatic cancer involves surgery and a six-week course of photon radiation in combination with capecitabine. This approach places considerable burden on patients, particularly in light of the shortened life expectancy associated with this disease. Recent studies conducted by Mass General physicians, including radiation oncologist Theodore S. Hong, MD; medical oncologistDavid P. Ryan, MD; gastrointestinal surgeonCarlos Fernandez-del Castillo, MD; and others examined the safety and efficacy of preoperative short-course PBT and capecitabine followed by early surgery for localized, resectable pancreatic cancer of the head. PBT has the advantages of delivering the maximum therapeutic dose in five days with minimal destruction of normal tissue. These phase 1 and phase 1/2 studies indicate that preoperative chemoradiation with one week of PBT and capecitabine followed by early surgery is well-tolerated and associated with favorable local control.
Representative dosimetry for: 1) three-field, proton plan; and 2) seven-field, intensity-modulated radiotherapy plan with axial, coronal, and sagittal views.
Converting Unresectable Tumors to Resectable
Dr. Hong and his colleagues are leveraging the advantages of PBT in combination with other agents to improve tumor response in the presurgical setting. A phase 2 study, for example, examines progression-free survival in patients receiving preoperative PBT for five days plus capecitabine and the antimalarial drug hydroxychloroquine. Hydroxychloroquine, says Dr. Hong, shrinks or slows the growth of pancreatic tumors in preclinical models. Patients undergo surgery between weeks five and nine following PBT and resume hydroxychloroquine after surgery until the study ends.
Borderline resectable pancreas.
A European study found the drug regimen known as FOLFIRINOX (fluorouracil, irinotecan, oxaliplatin, andleucovorin) reduced metastatic lesion size in about one-third of patients. Recently, Mass General physicians presented preliminary results of FOLFIRINOX in patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer, indicating that the approach is safe and feasible in this patient population. Current work involves using FOLFIRINOX to shrink tumors away from major blood vessels located near the pancreas, thus converting patients with locally advanced disease from unresectable to resectable.
One drawback to FOLFIRINOX, says Dr. Ryan, is that it is highly myelosuppressive. Combining the regimen with subsequent chemoradiation may cause overwhelming damage to bone marrow. Since PBT reduces the duration of radiation treatment from six weeks to five days, it offers an appealing way of delivering the beneficial effects of radiation while reducing collateral damage to bone marrow activity. This study—FOLFIRINOX followed by PBT—for patients with borderline resectable pancreatic cancer is now recruiting at Mass General.
Another difficulty with FOLFIRINOX and all chemotherapy regimens used in the treatment of pancreatic cancer is the protective effect of the inflammatory response surrounding these tumors. This fibrotic response may block or impede the penetration of chemotherapy, shielding malignant cells from therapy. Rakesh K. Jain, MD, director of the Edwin L. Steele Laboratory for Tumor Biology at Mass General, recently demonstrated that losartan, commonly used for hypertension management, inhibited collagen synthesis by cancer-associated fibroblasts in preclinical models. Based on that work, Mass General clinical researchers under the guidance of Dr. Hong have launched a phase 1/2 study of losartan plus FOLFIRINOX in patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer.
Headway in Developing Targeted Therapies
Key Points
- Preoperative proton beam therapy reduces radiation time and spares normal tissue compared to photon radiotherapy in patients with pancreatic cancer.
- Combining presurgical proton beam therapy with established and emerging chemotherapy regimens may shrink pancreatic tumors, increasing the possibility of curative resection.
- Clinical trials study novel targets, dual pathway inhibitors, and FOLFIRINOX in locally advanced pancreatic cancer.
- Circulating Tumor Cell technology captures pancreatic cancer cells with metastasisenhancing properties.
- Novel imaging modalities and data analysis help distinguish high-risk and low-risk mucinous cysts.
Pancreatic cancer is inoperable at diagnosis in 90 percent of patients, rendering chemotherapy the only therapeutic option for these individuals. While FOLFIRINOX provides the most significant survival benefit of any treatment introduced to the clinics in more than 20 years, this new regimen yields only a four-month survival benefit. Clinical studies—many of them based on discoveries in Mass General's research labs—continue to open the door to improved therapies for local and metastatic disease.
Fundamental to these efforts are the Circulating Tumor Cell (CTC) chip technology, developed by scientists in the Mass General Hospital Cancer Center in collaboration with the Mass General Center for Engineering in Medicine; a comprehensive pancreatic tissue library with fully annotated clinical data that has been compiled over more than a decade; routine genotyping of all pancreatic cancers treated at Mass General; and a fully integrated multidisciplinary approach involving experienced specialists and subspecialists. These unique resources allow Mass General clinical researchers to examine the molecular underpinning of pancreatic cancer and the efficacy of potential therapeutics in unique preclinical models, as well as allow physicians to direct patients to trials appropriate for the specific molecular fingerprint of their tumors.
In a recent study published in Nature, senior author Daniel A. Haber, MD, PhD, director of the Mass General Cancer Center, and colleagues showed that the WNT2 protein is over-expressed in CTCs captured in mouse models of metastatic pancreatic cancer and in human patients, whereas WNT2 is rare in primary tumors. The investigators identified factors at work in WNT2-expressing cells that increase metastatic propensity; targeting a key step in this pathway could control pancreatic cancer metastasis. Ongoing work is aimed at developing such a therapy for clinical testing.
For the past 40 years, clinical and basic scientists in the Pancreatic Biology Laboratory have conducted studies designed to understand the biologic mechanisms involved in the initiation, progression, and maintenance of pancreatic disease and cancer. Ongoing work, performed under the leadership ofSarah P. Thayer, MD, PhD, director of the lab, focuses on cancer stem cells and developmental genes and on participation in a worldwide collaboration aimed at sequencing 500 pancreatic cancer genomes and their normal matched controls.
Approximately 70 percent of individuals with pancreatic cancer have a KRAS mutation. Although no targeted therapy has yet been found for pancreatic cancer, experience with other cancer types indicates that targeted therapies—while initially effective—are not long-term solutions. Scientists are now investigating ancillary pathways used to overcome the effects of single-target drugs. Work in the laboratory ofJeffrey A. Engelman, MD, PhD, demonstrated inhibition of both the PI3K pathway and the RAF pathway is required to kill KRAS mutant cancer cells. A phase 1 study of a dual-pathway inhibitor is open to qualifying patients at Mass General.Nabeel M. Bardeesy, PhD, has developed a series of cancer cell lines and genetically engineered mouse models to help elucidate the functional interactions of key cancer genes in both pancreatic and biliary cancers. This work includes focus on epigenetic regulators such as chromatin-modifying enzymes that are deregulated in pancreatic cancer progression as well as on signaling pathways implicated in tumorigenesis and cancer progression. In an effort to help physicians identify pancreatic cancer early, while it is still operable, Dr. Bardeesy has identified biomarkers relevant to the detection of human disease. Current efforts are aimed at validating these markers and identifying new ones.
Improved Methods for Evaluating Cysts
Enhanced imaging has led to the detection of an increased number of pancreatic cysts, yet not all cysts require active treatment. Mass General researchers described distinctions between mucinous cystadenomas, which tend to progress to pancreatic cancer, and serous cystadenomas, which are more likely to be benign. They then developed endoscopic ultrasound fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA), a technology that provides visual data about the cyst as well as fluid samples. These samples are analyzed for gene changes and levels of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA). CEA levels are elevated in patients with mucinous cystadenoma but not in patients with serous cystadenoma. This test is now used routinely in medical centers.
Under the direction ofWilliam R. Brugge, MD, director of gastrointestinal endoscopy in Mass General's Digestive Healthcare Center, the pancreas team is investigating the use of a novel imaging technique, optical coherence tomography (OCT) in combination with EUS-FNA, in an in vivo model to help further distinguish low-risk pancreatic cysts from higher-risk cysts. Whenever possible, Mass General surgeons remove higher-risk cysts located in the pancreatic tail using laparoscopic surgery. Cysts located in the middle of the pancreas may be removed using a parenchyma-sparing technique pioneered at Mass General. This approach is aimed at reducing the risk of postoperative exocrine and endocrine insufficiency.
In a more recent study, Mass General physicians looked at both preoperative clinical and cyst characteristics at the time of endoscopic ultrasound and discovered that older age, male gender, and malignant cytology were independent predictors of malignancy. Patients with these risk factors may benefit from more aggressive management of cysts.
Ongoing research in laboratories associated with theAndrew L. Warshaw, MD, Institute for Pancreatic Research continues to bring together gastrointestinal subspecialists to further distinguish subtypes of mucinous tumors. According to Dr. Warshaw, tumors developing in the branch duct are less likely to develop into invasive cancer, yet when they do, they are highly aggressive. Papillary mucinous cancer developing first in the main duct, like its branch-duct cousin and other mucinous cystic tumors, can be invasive and lethal, but the five-year survival of this class of cancers is more than double that of the more common ductal adenocarcinoma. Work in the Warshaw Institute, spearheaded by Mass General gastroenterologic pathologistMari Mino-Kenudson, MD, has helped characterize different cell types in the two types of mucinous cysts. Analysis of these cell types will help clinicians determine the level of cancer risk in patients with pancreatic cysts.
Meanwhile, with the aid of resources like the tissue laboratory, Mass General researchers are continuing to study the role of gene mutations associated with pancreatic cancer, uncovering variations in these mutations that could have implications in both diagnosis and treatment planning. These laboratory efforts, which are closely tied to an active clinical trial program, support pancreatic cancer physicians in prolonging the lives of patients with this challenging disease.

Indonesia's irreplaceable rainforests and carbon-rich peatlands are being destroyed to make the disposable consumer products we find in our shops: paper for our glossy magazines, toilet paper, packaging and palm oil for products like toothpaste and chocolate.
Greenpeace is campaigning for the immediate protection of all Indonesia's forests and peatlands including meaningful international support for a new green development pathway and for zero deforestation in Indonesia and globally by 2020.
To achieve this, we investigate the global supply chains that are sacrificing Indonesia's forests for consumer products around the world, and we expose the companies that are destroying forests. Over the past few years, our campaigns and pressure from our supporters have led Nestlé, Unilever and other corporate giants to cancel big contracts with reformed suppliers like Sinar Mas. This in turn has led to commitments to forest protection on the ground from these same companies. But more must be done.
Today, Indonesia stands at a crossroads; will it choose to allow industry to relentlessly and unnecessarily expand into natural rainforests and carbon rich peatlands, or to announce a moratorium on all existing rainforest and peatlands, with the help of the international community?

I told myself I wouldn't get worked up over the Golden Globe nominations this morning, but here we go again.
The Hollywood Foreign Press Association—an anonymous group of freelancers much, much smaller than the Academy—really booted it this morning. Nothing for "Beasts of the Southern Wild" or "This is 40"? Three nominations for "Salmon Fishing in the Yemen"? Ahhhhhhhh!!!!
Sorry. Deep breaths. Let's break down a few positives and a whole lot of negatives.
"The Master" deservedly earns nods for all its stars: Joaquin Phoenix, Philip Seymour Hoffman and Amy Adams. The movie's a puzzle that will frustrate some and wow others, but you can't deny the performances are remarkable.
Yet "The Master" is left out of the Best Motion Picture race in favor of choices like "Life of Pi," which features a breathtaking second act but laughably bad storytelling, and "Django Unchained," Quentin Tarantino's latest entertaining revenge tale that's also way too long.
Speaking of "Django," Leonardo DiCaprio doesn't quite deserve his Supporting Actor nod, but Christoph Waltz absolutely does. Thanks for noticing, HFPA.
As mentioned above: "Beasts of the Southern Wild" was entirely shut out. I'm not necessarily surprised not to see the film up for Picture, Director or Supporting Actor (Dwight Henry), but there is no excuse not to include Quvenzhane Wallis in the Best Actress, Drama category. Yes, she was six when the movie was filmed. That doesn't mean she wasn't acting, and acting her heart out in the most natural way imaginable.
That's right, another negative: Leslie Mann is phenomenal in "This is 40," and since the Academy rarely recognizes comedy, the Globes were the likely place for Mann's work to stand out. Instead, only one nomination in that category is justified (Jennifer Lawrence in "Silver Linings Playbook") while the other four were wasted on good-but-not-great work in 2-star movies, the most egregious choice being Emily Blunt in "Salmon Fishing in the Yemen." I sure don't remember that movie being funny (or even trying to be), though to be honest I don't remember that movie at all …
Which is why it's absurd that "Yemen" also earned nods for Best Picture, Musical or Comedy (a spot that should have gone to "This is 40"), and Best Actor, Musical or Comedy for Ewan McGregor. Again, he's fine in the movie, but the movie's not much and there are so many more worthy choices. Really. Almost anyone from anything else. Not including "That's My Boy" or "Rock of Ages."
"ParaNorman" is great. "Rise of the Guardians" is atrocious. Enough said.
See "The Paperboy." Then see "Les Miserables" and "Compliance." You cannot tell me Nicole Kidman's better in the first than Samantha Barks or Ann Dowd in the other films, respectively. Well, you could, but I wouldn't believe you.
I agree that Alan Arkin is funny in "Argo," but he doesn't contribute nearly as much to the film as Matthew McConaughey does to "Magic Mike." Consider me worried that this choice will also appear at the Oscars.
Until then, fingers, toes, and anything else crossable will be in knots, hoping for major changes. Uh, not that it's a big deal or anything.

If recent private polls are any indication, Californians may be on the verge of saying "no" to the proposed $11 billion water bond scheduled for a vote this coming November. Given the likely defeat, the governor and legislature may well reschedule the vote for 2012 hoping voters will be in a happier and more generous mood when it comes to their money.
The unfortunate fact is that most of the water bond makes a lot of sense. The state water system is a half step away from collapse, which would cause havoc for farmers and users everywhere. Much of the fragile delta ecosystem, the gathering point for a sizable portion of California's fresh water network, has been held together by berms more than one hundred years old. A bad earthquake or collapsed lock from excessive flow could do in the state big time. To be sure, the proposed water bond is far from perfect, but compromises are necessary when promoting major public policies.
The problem is not the water bond, per se, but California's excessive reliance upon bonds in recent years. In 1991, California ranked 32nd among the 50 states in bond indebtedness on a per capita basis. Today, the state's bond debt is $140 billion, $70 billion of which has been enacted during the Schwarzenegger administration. That represents a per capita indebtedness of more than $1,600, well above the national average. The state now has the lowest credit rating in the nation, which means higher interest rates on the bonds it redeems. More than 6 percent of the budget now goes to paying interest on bond debt. That's a lot of money in a state that doesn't have nearly enough.
Who's responsible for this mess? We all are. You might remember that in 2004 shortly after his election, Governor Schwarzenegger asked the voters to "cut up the state's credit cards" by passing Proposition 57, a $15 billion bond to balance the then out-of-balance state budget. In this case, we borrowed money only to pay it back over nine years. If that's not a credit card mentality, it's hard to know what is. You may also remember how excited Californians were later that year when we passed a $3 billion dollar bond to promote stem cell research.
In this instance, a bond was used as the method to finance a project of immediate interest to a select community of beneficiaries. Stem cell research is important, but financing it over 30 years doesn't make sense.
None of this is to say that bonds are frivolous or unnecessary; quite to the contrary. Bonds are best used as a device to finance long-term infrastructure projects that will last over decades -- projects such as roads, public land acquisitions, and, most of the kinds of long-term projects intended in the proposed water bond. But Californians feel a bit overwhelmed by our recent rush to bonds, which has put the current proposal in jeopardy.
Moving the water bond vote to 2012 may buy time for the economy to repair and the voters to feel better about their own financial conditions. But until we become more particular about the bonds that should be placed before the public, all proposals--worthy and not--are sure to suffer.

At Spider Hall, education and old-fashioned fun help keep the family farm in business
Squeals rise from deep inside the eight-acre corn maze. Families hitch a ride atop bales of hay. Kids scour the pumpkin patch in search of the perfect gourd. Shoppers mull over crisp apples and Maryland meat, cheese and ice cream in the farm market.
Susan and Catherine Cox — mother and daughter proprietors of Calvert County's Spider Hall Farm — lure people to their fields with fun — hoping they leave with good memories and newfound respect for farming.
That's a subject both Cox women know. Six generations of Coxes have plowed, grown and harvested crops on Calvert County farms.
"I want to teach people what it is to be a farmer and to appreciate the work of a farmer," Catherine says. "Agricultural education is my passion."
Six years after the Cox family purchased the 362-acre Spider Hall Farm, Catherine and her mother are beginning their second year of running it as an open-air classroom.
A Calvert County teacher for 25 years, Susan developed a school field trip program around the county's curriculum.
"In our first year, we had school field trips here every day in October," Catherine reports. The curriculum for kids and adults is farming's relation to their world.
"We teach them about the environment. They learn they are stewards of the earth. We teach them to take only what you need and leave the earth better than when you found it," Susan says.
The hayrides deliver unwitting students to the "lower 40," where they visit a working farm. Fields of soybeans and feed corn are bordered by woodland, each a separate ecosystem.
As winter put the chill on their outside classroom, Catherine worried about paying the bills. In an a-ha moment, she decided to extend the farm's classroom to local food.
The Spider Hall farm stand opened in spring.
Behind the
Customers learn what it means to buy and eat seasonal foods," Susan says. "The 20-by-30-foot box is also a lesson in economics. Farmers want to sell to us, customers want to buy from us."
On sale are a range of Maryland products, including ice cream, cheese, milk, Southern Maryland meats, local jams and honey. Walls Bakery supplies bread, éclairs and pies. The Spider Hall Farm garden provides seasonal produce. Squash and pumpkins rule this season.
Come December, there will be Maryland Christmas trees.
"Only fresh-cut trees from Garrett County," says Susan. "Not trees harvested months early from outside the state."
Spider Hall Farm present and future grew from lives planted in the land.
"I've found most people don't know the truth about farmers," says Catherine, who has lived her life on the family farm and "wouldn't change it for the world.
"Whether I was helping feed the cows or planting tobacco, I never saw things as chores," she says.
Susan learned farming by heart.
Born and raised in Montgomery County, she came to Calvert to teach. She also found a husband, Calvert County farmer David Cox.
Mother-in-law Anne Cox taught Susan how to be a farm wife.
"She taught me preservation, how to butcher a hog," Susan says. "It is amazing what you'll do for love. But I grew to love and respect farming and the family dynamic."
The Spider Hall Farm Agricultural Education Center, LLC is developing according to a five-year plan, explains Catherine, the 25-year-old entrepreneur.
A board of directors was established this year. An old tobacco barn is a future farm museum, Catherine says, where visitors will see what it was like to work on a farm before automation.
Connected to the barn museum, planned to open next fall, Catherine is planning an 8,000-square-foot, two-story building with six classrooms. "Classrooms will be lab style," she says, "for maximum interaction."
The Spider Hall Farm Agricultural Education Center — with a wall of windows overlooking the working farm — will offer daylong classes from elementary to adult education.
A full commercial kitchen will be set up to teach food preservation and food safety.
"I want it all to be reality by the time I'm 30," Catherine says

Industries we are targeting: mostly information technology, web technology, analytics, email marketing software, pharmaceutical, communication technology, semiconductors, telecom, automotive, chemical industry.
WE are looking for just a logo or logo with an image, for the event which can fit on our website banner 710x250 http://kgsglobal.com/2010/12/01/b2b…ng-europe/ (in the place of Einstein), and which will project:
- credibility of the large european conference (by looking at the logo you should get an impression of the large and busy event)
- modern style
- cutting edge new technology
- social element ( social media and people is the biggest focus of our event)
We will also use this logo on the web banners, advertising, on the printed conference brochures, advertising, etc.
Colors: need to go well with our website and company logo. (http://www.kgsglobal.com) On our website we use a lots of black and white pictures in combination with cyan background, we do like to give one color to every event, like lilac for B2B Marketing Forum, but it doesn't have to be this color, we are opened to look at other options.
We like Typography, but again, it has to fit with our existing website.
I have attached the brochure with more information about the event. For now we just use some pictures from the previous conference, but it is missing the identity.

ADSL USB modem Sagem F@st 800: I cannot connect to internet
Hi. If I do what said in
I can use my ADSL USB modem Sagem F@st 800 to surf the WWW with other distros, but not with Puppy.
How can I make it work with Puppy, please?

Does the information by Chmee
(fourth post down from the top) help? Because the thread was from 2008, you will need to hunt for the appropriate files elsewhere as the links he listed appear to be dead. You may also need different versions of the files he mentioned. Fair warning, it doesn't look like the process is that easy.

yes some commands will change...eg no sudo on puppy...gedit would be a problem too. Someone more familiar may simply need to translate the technique. note sudo gedit could simply become geany for example.
Could try each command in turn and ask whenever it fails for specific help.
I had a speedtouch years ago...very similar...fortunately someone had made a script plus it built a driver for it.
I got banned when I complained that no one had helped...funny how times change

Yes, I personalized the commands for Puppy, taking out sudo and changing gedit by vi, geany or leafpad. But it doesn't work: I cannot reach the Internet.
I saw the guide of 2008 of Chmee but seems to be a hard way ... More than 6 years later, there is not an easy procedure for Puppy?
I use Slacko 5.7.

plugin pppoatm.so 8.35
hmm this seems to refer to a particular version.
Support for usb modems on linux outside of the US has always been poor and you may simply not have pppoa support in the puppy you have.
The line mentioned is a plugin for pppd from what I gather.... what error messages do you get if any?

The kernel modules for your type of ADSL modem have never been enabled in the kernel configuration of any Puppy version, possibly because these drivers also require additional "PPP over ATM" network drivers.
But I provided both the modem and ATM drivers for Puppy Lucid 5.1/5.2, available here -
Setup instructions were provided by forum member jaydee here -
... and just to reiterate: the drivers I provided are ONLY compatible with Puppy Lucid 5.1/5.2.

This looks very similar to what I needed for my speedtouch 330...indeed that's mentioned.... same drivers different settings maybe.
I just mention that cos I got the speedtouch driver script which built what I needed on puppy 2 (my introduction to linux )...I wonder if its still of use.
Just lobbing that one in... was 8 years ago I did all this as a noob so memory is rusty.
Otherwise the nice mister tempestouous might have sources for you

It might be worth checking out, though, especially if your ADSL modem is the primary way (or only way) you access the internet.

Step back and look at the big picture:
these types of (ADSL) modems are obscure, as evidenced by the fact that in the 10 year history of Puppy Linux only a handful of people have ever asked about them. And these models are also quite old.
Little wonder that official Puppy releases don't support them. The same principle applies to RAID support, LVM support, etc.
The big question is: how important is this particular modem to you? Why not just go out and get a different model?
- if you choose a model with ethernet connection, rather than USB, NO DRIVERS will be required to connect to Puppy.
- newer models will support modern and faster connection standards (ADSL2, ADSL2+)
Such modems can be bought on eBay for next-to-nothing. Heck, I have a box of old computer equipment upstairs gathering dust, from which I could give you an old Netgear DM602 modem.
Then again, there may be some bizarre reason why you're locked into using that Sagem modem - maybe the internet service provider has added some form of hardware-lockdown?
In this scenario, you shouldn't be fussy about what version of Puppy to use, but aim for whatever Puppy release will support your hardware.
Why is it a problem to use Lucid as your main OS? Many people on this forum remain staunchly attached to this particular release, and ironically, when a new innovation or driver becomes available for the latest Slacko (or Precise) the Lucid users can get annoyed!
Wary? That release has a quasi-religious following.
People on this forum seem to get irrationally attached to one Puppy version or another.
Just go with what works ... or change your hardware.

Must comment that there were thousands...maybe millions of these modems around at the time...every isp (in Europe) was lobbing them out... what was obscure was puppies lack of support...all the big distros did and of course every version of windows...having one did stop me using linux for a year since no distro my machine could handle supported it. I did get help from elsewhere in the end to get it running on puppy and I was certainly not alone in needing this support. Interestingly enough it worked better on linux and I used to share the internet on the connected machine with the other one.
Yes routers are easy peasy... it does make sense to grab one if you can then yer distro can use its basic ethernet drivers
In my case I got a wired router for 50p plus post of ebay.
As for Lucid... building drivers is fun...

I've tried to do what stated in
, without success: running ./speedtouchconf.sh it says that doesn't find gcc nor make, though PPM says I have them (I use a Live USB with Slacko 5.7). And in that page says:
copies of firmware files [...] could break your current modem
Normally I use a Ehternet'ed modem/router, but I've been using again my old USB modem because my router seems not to be valid for Puppy Phone:
And I'm not very interested in PSIP. So for me it's not so important that with Slacko and the Sagem USB modem one can get the internet. But perhaps for someone could be useful some day ... Linux in general and light distros like Puppy in particular are good alternatives to make old computers (and peripherals) be able to work ...
In the past I've used other versions or flavours of Puppy. I don't update very often. When I do it I normally choose the most (newer) recommended (official/main) version of the download page (that's why now I use Slacko 5.7). The support for the desktop version of Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx) expired last year, in 2013, so this is one of the reasons because I left it (after that I used Precise and now Slacko 5.7). Perhaps in Puppy this doesn't matter, but I'm more used to other distros (though I've been using Puppy for some years already).

There's no chance of success. Those instructions are very old, and apply only to kernel versions up to 2.6.10 - in Puppyspeak this means Puppy versions no higher than 2.01, from 2006 !!!
For modern kernels, the correct drivers and correct processes are listed in my previous post.

Actually tempestuous it was your regression 2.02 with its 220.127.116.11 kernel so I guess the script was more flexible than it claimed.
