Multi Pup DVD ISO
If anyone is interested, I have made an EditPup DVD ISO of 3 great Puppies for Editing..
1 Puppy Artists Workshop......Photo Editing
2 Pupitup ....Audio Editing
3 Mediapup....Video Editing...
All in 1 ISO, with a Grub MultiBoot Setup...
Less than 1 gigabyte!!!!
If anyone is interested, let me know...I`ll share...
Now that I have MultiBoot working, I may make a few of these..
One for Eye-Candy Pups
One for different Window manager Pups
One for all my Pups..LOL
The possibility`s are endless...
@EDIT...This is so cool..
...I could put like 40 Puppies on one DVD!!!!
Why didnt I find this before...
.....OMG......I`m so stoked!!!!....
Why isnt anyone doing this...Its like, HELLO, what a way to show off Puppy.
Sorry, I`m a bit enthused at the moment............
I mean, I`ve seen a few, with like 109ce / memtest / ect...
I think there was one with Grafpup and one other...
My favorite, say 25, Puppies, on one bootable DVD....

Way to go puppyluvr !
Glad to see pupitup becoming a part of something bigger.
If I guessed it well the boot manager gives you the choice to run any one of these 3 at a time ?
May I suggest you also make the other 2 puplets netbook friendly by adding the madwifi-hal-0.pet and sound support with aspireone-snd-hda-intel-patched-k2.pet + uvcvideo_luvcview.pet for webcam. (that is if they use 188.8.131.52 kernel, newer kernels have wifi & sound working).
This way it would be a killer tripuplet DVD for all those lucky ultra-portable owners desperate to shed both Linpus lite & winblow$.
Don't poop it down... Pup it Up !

You're crazy.
And that's the kind of people that get things done!!
I think the usefulness comes in being able to give ONE disk to someone to show off Puppy. Not sure how many ppl would actually download--??
If you do this, i'd suggest no more than 700MB total so it all fits on a CD -- that makes it nearly universal, as almost everyone has a CD drive but not all have DVD (Puppy was built for older machines) --plus it makes for an easier download.

That's just what I am looking for. Audio, Video and photo editing all in one.
Right now I am multibooting for XP, Puppy with many apps and the puppy with WINE and Wings 3D you made.
With your new "triplex", I can try another interesting "adventure" XP and 3 Puppies...
I have seen a similiar announcement in MISC section at;
I tried download it for 2 day and a few more hours but I had to give up after seeing dead for a day and a few more hours. It is a torrent download.
Your combo is more useful as "Multimedia"Puppy. It has one solid idea.
Now I can see Puppy is not just an alternative for office workers. It is a pure fun for multimedia hobbist. If you add a little more professional apps seen in ArtistX and / or Musix, Multimedia pros will love it since ArtistX and Musix are much hevier than Puppy.
Whatever you do, please don't put that as a torrent. The ISP Qingdaomedia.com is
as good as China telecomm(Zhongguowangtong). My wife and I decided not to use the service once the contract is over. The only reason they still exist is that they provide all kinds of pirated movies, programs and whatever poeple like. It is illegal. We don't have time to see the movies and no thank \s to Chinese XPs. (I am not Chinese) Anyway, that's not my business.
All of the puppies you mentioned(I mean audio, vide, photo) are already in puppylinux.ca so a combo is entitled to be listed there. I hope Eric thinks the same.
I am very interested in the combo CD. Excellent work, puppyluvr!

Yes I would love to try the multimedia pup
I could put like 40 Puppies on one DVD!!!!
Sounds good to me.
In fact talking of Kennel (Puppy 5)
Barry says
We could offer 4 or 5 puppies concurrently as the latest official releases, but we would have to present them in such a way that new users aren't confused.
as well as individual releases
we can offer a CD and even DVD of menu controlled variations . . .
Jay can you please tell us a little of the process you used?

Post subject: I have a suggestion for you
After reading Subito Piano's reply, I came up with an idea.
Smart folks in this forum are thinking about PPC puppy, T2 Puppy, 64bit Puppy even PSP puppy. (I know there are Playstation distros already)
Besides those, Slaxer_puppy, Dexy_Pup, UPup all trying to use other distros.
Seeing these trends, how about making 2 kinds of CDs?
One for multiple "platforms" EEEPC(or netbooks), High end PC, low end PC(modified 109 or lighter Puppy even older versions).
The other is for multi flavours of puppies such as Woof(now UPup?), Slaxer_Pup, and others. They are still in the process of making, I know. I mean sometime in the future.
This is a bit out of the topic but,
We have so many Puppies here coming out almost daily. We have to choose the finest like beauty contests(cool looking. I vote for MU's works) and racing games(I mean the fastest Puppy(ies))
Putting a graphical menu using autorun.ini and a flash file made exe to choose organized and well explained puppies would be great.
Like Barry and Lobster said, well organized Puppy CD is a good idea and how about a magazine cover disk for such as Linux format(UK)
Just my humble suggestion.

A superb idea, all the best with it. Its a shame
is nearly 600mb (but you do get 2.15ce thrown in free
) and its renamed "eco_save.2fs" files dont conflict with other puppies...perhaps for the DVD version? Its had some good reviews and is aimed at "linux newbies".

After many failed attempts, trying every method suggested on the forum, and beyond, I came across the attached in an old forum post that I cant find or I`d link to it....
It has a read me file that explains everything.. So easy even I can do it!!!
Even has directory`s setup for DSL and other Distros..
Suggestion...use GrafBurn...BurnISO2CD made coasters with it....
@Subito Piano,
Yes, I agree, with some Pups..However, these 3 Pups are designed for uses that require fairly high end machines anyhow.. Plus. they wont fit on 1 CD...
I understand the DVD size ISO`s arent copacetic to the Puppy Downloaders, but as advertisement or a mag CD it would be great..
As for "Downloadable"
How about 7 Official releases of Puppy on 1 CD...
The "Pedigree" CD....

This is exciting !
OK Wolf Pup gets the credit, but it's time to refurbish this with newer up to date puplets.
Size is no problem, since all those puppies will still be downloadable individually for those concerned with machines and bandwidth limitations.
It is also true that there are so many puplets coming out, it's getting confusing for newbies, and we might consider categorizing them: Graphic, Audio, Video, Office, Games, etc...
I'd love to see a war driving puplet, sort of Backtrack 3 or 4 with wifi apps that runs on netbooks, you can't carry your router along on journeys.
Puppyluvr, I have a 16 GB usb stick, just waiting for your first 4 DVD iso...

I know you are busy but any progress yet?
If the bandwidth is the problem, torrent would be a good answer.
Or, just post how should we download favorite puppies and assemble as one CD or DVD or 16GB USB.(Ahh...I just misplaced my 4GB USB. Did anyone see it?
How about Ubuntu way? Just mail them CDs postage paid by receiver.

The tarball I posted above is what I used...
The readme within explains in detail "how to"
As I have no net, (TG for coffee shops), I cannot upload the iso yet..
I should be back up, floods notwithstanding, in a week to 10 days...
Meantime, Im slimming the 3 Pups down and doing some polishing, menus ect..B4 I post a link to it.
Maybe I`ll clean up my drives too...

As I mentioned this might have is that they would all use a pup_save.2fs file with the same name. This would produce a lot of corrupted pup_save.2fs's
A bit of tedious work, but you could extract all of the pup_xxx's and initrd.gz;s and run a global search/replace on the text inside for "pup_save" and replace with "pup412_save", "pup420_save" etc etc
Then all the puppies on the DVD would work independently, with no accidental "upgrades".
May I suggest puppy 2.14r for inclusion too, it has many advanced feature over other 2 series puppies. Geexbox (10mb) and DBAN (2mb) would be a "nice to have" too and would fill any "slack space".

Not everyone buys their PC pre-built, there are enthusiasts who prefer to buy all their Computer Hardware separately and assemble it themselves. Here's our quick guide to the top PC Components you'll need to be on the look out for.
Most people already have picked their side but if you haven't, you can choose between an NVIDIA GeForce GTX Graphics Card or a Radeon Graphics Card. NVIDIA have recently launched their best Graphics Cards yet in their GeForce GTX 10 Series including their 1080, 1070 and 1060 cards. Radeon have also launched new their new technology in 2016, their RX 400 series cards including the 480 and 470 series have been a great upgrade for users looking to embrace the Virtual world and turn their Gaming PC into a VR Ready rig.
Choosing your motherboard is a very important aspect of your PC build, you need to make sure you get the correct socket, AMD motherboards vary between AM3+ and FM2+ sockets and Intel have their 1150, 1151 and 1155 socket motherboards which will affect which processor you can fit in the build. You can also get different sizes such as a Mini ITX Motherboard which is for a smaller PC build.
When browsing the processors range, you need to make sure you select the right processor which will fit your motherboard. Intel have many variations of their technologies which will change the socket numbers, for example Skylake motherboards are 1151 socket and Haswell 1150 socket and so forth. Brands of motherboards can be more of a personal choice and can affect your internal colour scheme, such as MSI and ASUS all bring their own unique styles.
A lot can depend on what case you pick, but one of the most important parts can be the look of it as that's what you'll have to see on or under your desk all the time once your PC is built. All the different brands offer their own unique style cases, Cooler Master, Phanteks, NZXT all have their individual colour schemes and styles and also different sizes such as Full Tower, Mid Tower, Mini Tower and Mini ITX PC cases.

1: Grain handling
and milling
Corn, malted barley, rye and wheat are selected and ground according to the particular recipe, or mashbill, being used.
- Next Step
2: Mashing
The milled grains are cooked in Kentucky limestone water, in a specified order and at specific temperatures, to create sweet, porridge-like "mash." The mash is then transferred to fermenter vats.
- Previous step
- Next Step
3: Backset or "Sourmash"
A portion of the prior day's distillate is added to both the mash cooker and the fermenter. Known as the sour mash process, it serves to maintain continuity of flavor and regulate pH.
- Previous step
- Next Step
4: Fermenting
Our Master Distiller's 7th generation family yeast strain is added to the cooked mash in a large vat, where the yeast naturally converts the sugars into alcohol through the fermentation process. Over several days, the fermenting mash bubbles violently, creating "Distiller's Beer," a thick, low alcohol (6-7%) liquid that is ready to be distilled into whiskey.
- Previous step
- Next Step
5: Distillation
In the 70 ft. tall column stills, the Distiller's Beer drips slowly down a series of perforated copper plates while steam blasts up from the bottom. The alcohol vapors rise to the top of the stills, where they are captured, condensed, and then re-distilled in the thumper. The purified, concentrated "white dog" reemerges at 68-70% alcohol or at 136-140 proof.
- Previous step
- Next Step
6: Gauging and Barreling
The newly made whiskey is stored in a holding tank, where the proof is "gauged" and brought down to barreling proof (62.5% alcohol or 125 proof) through the addition of pure, Kentucky limestone water. It is then transferred to a new charred oak barrel and sealed with a poplar "bung."
- Previous step
- Next Step
7: Maturation
The newly filled barrels are placed in open-rick warehouses, or rickhouses, to naturally age from 4-20 plus years. During the aging process, the whisky acquires its distinctive amber color, smooth character, and butterscotch and honeyed flavors.
- Previous step
- Start over
Small Batch Bourbon:
Our Master Distillers have selected a limited number of barrels from various floor locations in the rickhouse that have reached peak maturity for Larceny, a six-year-old taste profile. Our small batch is typically 200 barrels or fewer. Mingling barrels in limited quantities, like Larceny, are exceptional examples of the Bourbon-making craft.
Wheated Bourbon
Larceny carries on the tradition of John E. Fitzgerald Bourbons with wheat as the secondary grain instead of the traditional rye. Its mashbill calls for one-third more wheat than other competitors, making it a smoother tasting bourbon.Learn more about the Bourbon
The proof is in the bottle
Bottled at 92 proof, Larceny is the perfect base in a variety of whiskey cocktails. With its high proof, Larceny's smooth taste allows it to be enjoyed neat or on the rocks.Check out the larceny cocktail recipes

Video transcript below:
Troy MacDonald, Nominee: Most Inspirational Investor of the Year
Really me, that's what I was thinking. I was quite shocked that I got nominated. To me Most Inspirational Investor of the Year is massive and to be nominated for something like that, obviously is an honour, but in my mind would be just huge. So yeah why me.
I would use this win if I was to win Most Inspirational Investor to help teach other people to broaden the scope in which I am working now, hosting meetings of hundreds right now, where people come to learn about investing and the nature of the award itself would lend credibility to being more motivational and that's sort of my angle.

Monday afternoon wasn't the first time Marion Mannschreck accepted payment for oil and gas drilling rights on his farmland east of Morenci. Other oil companies have sought the hidden treasure in the past.
But he was willing to sign the documents once again and gladly accept the $50 an acre payment. And better yet, if a productive well is established on his property, Mannschreck will receive the customary one-eighth value of oil produced.
Mannschreck's land added a few more acres onto the total 33,000 acres leased in southern Michigan by Continental Resources of Enid, Okla.
Richard Straeter, vice president of Continental's Illinois Division, knows others have tried, but he also knows there are reasons why the new effort can succeed: improved technology, increased demand, rising prices.
Straeter also knows a lot of oil has been taken from the ground not so far away from this area, and he's hoping additional pockets are waiting to be tapped here.
Since its discovery 50 years ago, the Albion-Scipio field—running through Hillsdale, Jackson and Calhoun counties—has produced about 140 million barrels of oil.
"This is our first venture into Michigan," Straeter said. "We're in the process of completing our third well."
The company's first successful well in Hillsdale County is producing 260 barrels of crude oil a day and a test rate of 310 barrels is planned this month.
A second well produced about 500 gallons an hour during an initial 10-hour flow period. A third well should begin withdrawing oil this month.
Continental is acquiring permits for an additional five wells...

Consumer Alert
Beware of "Jury Duty" Scam
(Anchorage) Attorney General David W. Márquez issued a warning today for Alaskans to be on the lookout for a new scam involving phone calls from someone representing themselves to be an official from the court or jury clerk's office.
The Attorney General has received reports of scam artists calling consumers and identifying themselves as an officer or employee of the local court or jury clerk's office. The scammer tells the victim a bench warrant was issued for their arrest for failure to report for jury duty. The shock caused by this news makes consumers more susceptible to the scam. The victim will rightly deny knowledge of any such claim; that no jury duty notification was ever received.
The scammer will then reassure the victim of the possibility this is all "just a misunderstanding" or "some sort of clerical error" that can all be easily corrected if the victim will simply "verify" their information with a few simple questions. If a victim is reluctant to verify any information the scammer threatens the victim that failure to cooperate will result in the immediate issuance of an arrest warrant. The scammer attempts to obtain as much personal information from the victim as possible, including social security number, date of birth, and will solicit credit card or bank account numbers claiming these will be used by their credit bureau to "verify" the victim'sidentity. Family members who receive these calls are especially vulnerable to coercion. Threats against the victim's military career, should he/she be arrested and have a criminal record, are frightening and persuasive.
"I want to advise all Alaska residents and Active Duty military personnel that they should never give out personal information to anyone on the phone that you do not know and trust," said Márquez. "Legitimate court employees and other state officials will never call to solicit this type of personal or financial information from you. Any person receiving such calls should record the scammer's phone number (if caller ID is available) and immediately report the contact to local police authorities."
If you have additional questions or if you want to report on any suspicious solicitations, please contact the Department of Law, Consumer Protection Unit at: (907) 269-5200, or toll free at: 1-888-576-2529.

Photography and the American Scene
The History of Photography from 1839 to the Present (fifth edition, 1982)
Americans did not invent photography, and perhaps this has always rankled just a bit. After all, the list of American discoveries during the nineteenth century seems to include nearly everything: the carpet sweeper and the machine gun, the sleeping car and the harvester-thresher, the electric iron and the incandescent light, the phonograph and the safety razor, linotype and vulcanized rubber, and on and on. For another thing, the United States, just twenty-four years old at the century's start, was busy inventing itself, and photography—discovered in France by Nicéphore Niépce and developed there by Louis Daguerre and independently in England by William Henry Fox Talbot—would prove to be an essential tool in that process of self-creation. But just as the national identity could compose itself from the synthesis of many nationalities, and just as the American language—based on English, itself a synthesis—would become an omnivorous and ever-expanding construct that could take in borrowings from virtually every language, so the art and science of photography was effortlessly adopted by the fledgling nation, which could almost persuade itself of its ownership.
For much of the nineteenth century the arts in America were a rope tugged at one end by those beholden to Europe and yearning for Europe's approval, and at the other by those who sought an entirely new template, specific to the geography and history and language of the United States. Numerous well-known examples of the difficulties encountered by the latter cause can be found in literary history: the derision at home that countered Poe's fame abroad, the neglect that Melville fell into at the height of his powers, the total obscurity in which half of Emily Dickinson's work lay for a full century. Visual artists had a somewhat easier time of it, for reasons that had a great deal to do with the relation of Americans to their own landscape. The scale of the American vista demanded representation in ways that had few antecedents in European painting, and those painters who could deliver the goods became popular across class lines, whether their subjects were the familiar valleys of the East Coast or the titanic panoramas of the far West. Frederic Edwin Church's massive Niagara (1857) is a famous but hardly unique example of a painting that could draw large crowds without sacrificing anything in the way of artistic integrity.
By the time photography was technically capable of taking in the grandeur of Western landscapes its audience was already well prepared. One of the decisive factors in this preparation was the Civil War, extensively documented by photographers as no war had been up to that time. (The Crimean War had been well photographed, by Roger Fenton among others, but to a much lesser extent.) Mathew Brady's atelier—which included among its most important operatives Alexander Gardner and Timothy H. O'Sullivan, who both went on to significant postwar careers—determined many people's visual imagination of the war. They recorded campgrounds and fortifications, fields and ruins, engagements and their aftermaths, dead soldiers and living…

Scientists are ramping up surveying over concerns for dangerous substances that were stowed onboard the MV Rena in shipping containers - some of which have now been confirmed lost at sea.
More than a year after the ship's disastrous grounding on the Astrolabe Reef off the Tauranga coast, initial results have indicated the Bay of Plenty's ecology has recovered well from the 350 tonnes of heavy fuel oil spilt into the sea.
But scientists called this the first pieces of the puzzle - and the potential chemical hazards that still lurk within submerged containers remains a concern.
Transport Minister Gerry Brownlee this week revealed to the Green Party that three containers of cryolite - a byproduct of the aluminium smelting process - had been lost at sea.
The exact location of a further 17 containers carrying the chemical was not known, after many went under with the Rena when it was ripped in half and sunk amid a January storm.
Among documents released to the party under the Official Information Act, the Environmental Protection Authority's principal scientist for hazardous substances, Peter Dawson, recommended monitoring for elevated levels of fluoride from the cryolite.
The contents of containers carrying ferrosilicon and one of potassium nitrate are also thought to have been lost at sea.
Another container of 5400kg of trichloroisocyanuric acid was on the seabed next to the wreck in March, but has not been recovered.
Professor Chris Battershill, who is overseeing a joint monitoring programme following the disaster, expected any effects on the ecology would be picked up in upcoming analysis of the sea floor around the wreck site.
The risk cryolite posed depended on the form of it, he told the Herald.
"If it's in block form, it's relatively inert and doesn't dissolve well, but if it's in powder form it can disperse, get into sediments, and we can have an issue," he said.
The substance was understood to be in mixed form, but that may have changed depending on the state of the containers holding it.
"We are concerned enough given the material is still there to have higher-focused surveys to look [at] exactly how it might have entered the environment."
Ongoing monitoring would also gauge the existence of tiny tar balls, some which were found on Papamoa Beach as recently as this month.
It was not known whether this oil was freshly released from the Rena, was old weathered oil that had resurfaced in the sand or driven ashore, or if it was from the ship at all.
A question mark also hung over whether oil had led to any sub-lethal effects on reproduction and repopulation of kaimoana species.
But the results of tests from the winter months - covering data from 30,000 samples - showed cause for optimism. Professor Battershill said there was still much work to be done.
Results from more than 30,000 samples have so far shown that levels of PAHs (Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons) have dissipated in most areas of the Bay of Plenty. But oil may have led to a reduction in some kaimoana species and there is still potential for lasting effects.
Hazardous substances
The contents of three containers of cryolite, a byproduct of the aluminium smelting process, have been lost at sea, while the location of a further 17 containers with cryolite is not known. Scientists will boost surveying.
Other chemicals
Maritime New Zealand sprayed about 200 litres of Corexit 9500, the controversial chemical used during the large spill in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010, to try to break down oil from the Rena in the early days of the disaster. Scientists have yet to test kaimoana species for traces of this controversial dispersant, but do not expect to find any.

Hi All,
I am trying to create a DataGrid for a weekly employee schedule. While the columns would be statically set to the days of the week, the rows should show the employees and their scheduled times on each day. I am using Visual C++ Forms to create the DataGrid.
The database containing the employees is just a simple file that is loaded into a struct on start-up of the program.
I have been studying the msdn files to find out how to set up the DataGrid, bind it to a data source and load the grid with the necessay info. I have also checked numerous tutorials on how to do this. Most of the tutorials are domain specific such as, using sql data bases or extracting xml file info. I am finding the various information a bit discombobulated, thus hard to pinpoint what I really need to do.
So far, I have set up a class called ScheduleTable to deal with initializing the table schema. At this point, it is supposed to add a couple of columns to the table. But, I can't figure out how to make the table initialize to this schema.
Once I have figured out how to initialize the table, I need to figure out how to load the data from the employee struct. I'm sure that this task can be accomplished through the DataBindings properties. But, since my data comes from a struct, I am unsure how the struct will relate to the DataBindings properties.
Could anyone help me sift through the information overload so that I can first, initialize the schema, and second, load the table from my struct.
If you need anymore info to help me, just ask. I have not provided the source code since it compiles and my main problem lies in the linking of the schema to the DataGrid. For this problem, I have no code available.
Thanks to all who have tips or hints that I could use.

Fifty Shades Of Grey was initially written as Twilight fan fiction. As I've said before, it was the author, with her hand between her legs, transferring that onto the page. Anyone who plays Christian Grey then is simply a replacement for Robert Pattinson. Would it be reasonable to ask Pattinson, for research purposes of course, to see his sex tape with Kristen Stewart, if one exists? I feel like this is a fair junket question for Jamie Dornan, because Variety reported last night that he'll be stepping in for Charlie Hunnam who was originally stepping in for Robert Pattinson anyway. As of the time of this post, the studio has yet to officially confirm the news.
According to Deadline though, they were originally trying for Alexander Skarsgard. Evidently he wasn't interested. No one with their own sh-t going on was interested. This is why it was a joke for them to believe that they could have attracted top tier talent. This role might be a star maker for an up-and-comer, but it's also a star killer for an already-there.
In other words, Dornan is a good choice. He's very attractive. He's not an established name. He's not American, which seems to have been one of their search criteria. Aside from having dated Keira Knightley, what do we know about him?
Well, he's married. His wife is called Amelia Warner. You know her name if you know Colin Farrell. Because he used to be her husband. See?
Their wedding was on the beach in Tahiti when she was 19 though she has since insisted that it wasn't legal. Whatever it was, at that age, not surprisingly, it only last a year after that.
In June it was announced that Warner and Dorner are expecting a baby. Am curious then to see what the publicity strategy will be around Dornan's personal life. You know how Twi-Hards can be about their imaginary narratives.
Here are Dornan and Warner together on holiday in January of this year.

Wisconsin prosecutor adopts safe haven baby
A Wisconsin prosecutor now has a healthy and happy baby thanks to the safe haven program.
"I've always wanted to have children, and now I have this opportunity where I can have her in my life, and it's the best gift I've ever been given," Jacalyn Labre said.
Labre's work as a prosecutor handling child abuse cases led her to become a foster parent.
Friday, she adopted a safe haven baby in Racine County.
"The minute I went to the hospital and held her, I knew if I had the opportunity to adopt her, I would," Labre said.
The safe haven law allows new moms to give up their babies if they're not ready to be parents.
They have to drop the babies off within 72 hours at either a police station, fire house or hospital.
"Hopefully the program saves lives where we don't have abandoned children or children in bad situations and it's a wonderful program," Labre said.
Labre said the chance to give her daughter a second chance is the most rewarding.
"To see her grow and see her flourish, see her mature and be healthy and happy," Labre said.
Wisconsin's safe haven law was enacted back in 2001. Since then, there have been 175 babies safely relinquished in this program.

2015 Ford Mustang Makes Hollywood Debut
50 years later, the Mustang experiences a global rebirth.
The world-famous TCL Chinese Theatre in Hollywood (formerly Grauman's and Mann's Chinese Theater) hosted the West Coast debut of the 2015 Ford Mustang. The redesigned pony car is a logical step in the evolution of the Mustang DNA that we've become familiar with over the past 15 years. Equipped with a choice of three engines, from a standard V-6 to the obligatory all-aluminum 420hp 5.0L Coyote GT motor plus and the new 305hp (projected) 2.3L twin-scroll turbocharged four-cylinder.
For the 50th anniversary of the original pony car, Ford redesigned the platform, changing around the rear (independent) and front suspension to not only give better ride, handling, and steering, but also to allow the stylists to redesign with less restrictions. One of the benefits of the new suspension design are bigger brakes.
The event kicked-off with a breakfast and presentation by Ford executives, then the launch of the all-new Mustang. Judging by the photos, the Mustang's gone Hollywood! Millions of people walk past the theater each year to admire the famous handprints and signatures displayed out front, and the Mustang is no different, leaving its tire tracks on a slab of soft concrete.

WASHINGTON - Energy-Secretary-Designate Steven Chu told a Senate Committee on Tuesday that the incoming administration would have an increased commitment to alternative energy sources like solar, wind and geothermal, but also made clear coal and nuclear would be part of the energy mix.
Chu, who won the Nobel Prize for physics in 1997 and is currently director of the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, made the comments during his confirmation hearing before the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee. Chu is expected to win confirmation easily.
The new administration is also committed to "aggressively" increasing energy efficiency in appliances and buildings; will push for more fuel-efficient vehicles including plug-in hybrids and supports a more "robust" transmission and distribution system for electricity, Chu said.
"I would not have accepted the President-elect's nomination if I had not thought it was essential to move ahead on this plan," he said.
Chu also said, however, that the Obama administration would support efforts to revitalize the nuclear power industry, including developing a long-term plan to dispose of radioactive waste from the civilian reactors; would seek the "responsible" development of domestic oil and gas supplies; and would invest in technology to capture and store carbon emissions from coal-fired power plants.
Chu was questioned closely by Republican and Democratic committee members about the new administration's plans for nuclear and coal. Chu said in a public lecture last year, available on YouTube, that coal was his "worst nightmare."
"That quote is ricocheting around the Internet," Chu said. "The context was whether we will continue using coal as we do today . . . that is a pretty bad dream."
Burning coal is a major source of the carbon dioxide accumulating in the atmosphere and is contributing to an increase in Earth's average temperature that experts say will lead to damaging changes in climate and sea level in the decades to come.
Chu began his comments at his confirmation hearing by warning: "It is now clear that if we continue on our current path, we run the risk of dramatic, disruptive changes to our climate system in the lifetimes of our children and grandchildren."
Chu has spoken throughout the country and focused the Berkeley Lab's work on the related problems of global warming and the need for renewable energy sources that don't add carbon dioxide to the atmosphere.
The U.S. has immense stores of coal, and Chu said he was "hopeful and optimistic we can use those resources in a clean way."
The only way to burn coal without increasing the accumulation of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is to capture it and store it underground, something that's not being done at any of the nation's 450 coal-fired power plants.
As for nuclear power, Chu said that a federal loan program to provide funding to build new nuclear power plants needs to be accelerated, but he acknowledged that finding a way to safely dispose of the waste could be more difficult.
Obama said during the campaign he opposed using the Yucca Mountain site in Nevada to store the waste, which the federal government is obligated to take.
Chu said that a better system to recycle the waste would need to be developed, but non-proliferation issues would remain.
Even so, Chu said, "Nuclear power will be an important part of the energy mix."

There has never been a better time to adopt the OHSAS 18001 Standard as the foundation for your Occupational Health and Safety Management System (OHSAS). OHSAS is an internationally acknowledged occupational health and safety management system standard. It was published in July 2007, prevailing OHSAS 18001:1999, and is intended to deal with occupational health and safety rather than product safety.
First of all, the Health and Safety need of your staff and visitors should be evaluated. After that identify the limitations of your Health and Safety system and file your procedure for meeting the requirement of OHSAS 18001:2007. Make sure that these procedures will be fully implemented, then audit and review them. After system developed, internal audits are needed to ensure the system continues to be effective.

This morning before the Supreme Court convened to hear a securities fraud case I spotted lawyer David Boies, who would be arguing for the class action plaintiffs (here the respondents), standing by himself as if in reverie, gazing at the statue of Justice John Marshall. Unfortunately Tom Goldstein, another veteran of the Court, sketchbombed my drawing under the pretense of having a chat with Boies.
The argument itself, Halliburton v. Erica P. John Fund, was way over my head. Fraud-on-the-market theory? Price impact v. market efficiency ? Better that I leave it alone and just post my sketches.

STOCKHOLM, Sweden — Virgin Galactic on Friday signed a deal with a Swedish firm to explore the possibilities of launching commercial spaceflights from an airport in northern Sweden.
The British company owned by tycoon Richard Branson already has scheduled its first tourist flights into space from California's Mojave Airport in the 2008-2009 time frame.
It now wants to investigate launching flights from Kiruna, in Swedish Lapland, some 60 miles (100 kilometers) north of the Arctic Circle.
"This provides us with Europe's first obvious place for suborbital spaceflights," said Susan Newsam, spokeswoman at Virgin Galactic. An added feature would be flying into aurora borealis, the luminous display of lights seen in the upper latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere.
"Flying into the aurora borealis has never been done before," she said.
Under the deal, Virgin Galactic and Swedish company Spaceport will spend about two years investigating the conditions for suborbital spaceflights from Kiruna's airport. If all goes to plan, the first launches will be made from Kiruna in 2011 or 2012, said Sven Grahn, project manager for Spaceport.
Slideshow: Month in Space: January 2014 "We need to check the facilities and the weather conditions and so on, but there shouldn't be a problem," Grahn said.
Two hundred people have already made down payments on the planned suborbital flights from Kiruna, which will cost around $200,000 a head and last about two hours, including five minutes of weightlessness, he said.
Apart from the northern lights, Kiruna was chosen as a possible site because it has a long tradition of space research and is home to the Esrange launch pad for satellites.
Virgin Galactic's initial tourist flights will take off from Mojave, and later from a yet-to-be-built facility in New Mexico called Spaceport America.
Virgin Galactic is one of several startup companies that plan to rocket ordinary people into space. Its goal is to ferry 500 people in its first year — roughly the same number of people who have gone up in 45 years of government-backed space travel.

Mission Control Center
Discovery astronauts completed their third and final space walk Friday evening, replacing a failed radio transmitter and installing a new solid state recorder. After the successful completion of those tasks, Lead Flight Director Linda Ham announced Friday evening that the STS-103 mission had met all criteria for complete success. Discovery astronauts are scheduled to release Hubble a little before 5 p.m. CST on Christmas Day.
Astronauts Steve Smith and John Grunsfeld on Friday installed a transmitter that sends scientific data from Hubble to the ground. The transmitter replaced one that failed in 1998. A second transmitter had successfully carried the load without any disruption to Hubble scientific operations. Since the transmitters are considered very reliable, they were not designed to be replaced in orbit and special tools were developed to make the job easier.
Smith and Grunsfeld also installed a solid state digital recorder, replacing an older mechanical reel-to-reel recorder version. The digital Solid State Recorder provides more than 10 times the storage capacity of the old unit. They also applied new insulation on two equipment bay doors.
Both the transmitter and the recorder checked out normally on early tests by telescope controllers.
Two previous space walks on Wednesday and Thursday had completed the highest priority tasks of the mission. Those tasks included installation of six new gyroscopes and six Voltage/Temperature Improvement Kits, giving Hubble a new computer 20 times faster and with six times the memory of the old computer, and replacement of one of Hubble's three Fine Guidance Sensors.
Friday's space walk lasted 8 hours and 8 minutes, ending at 9:25 p.m., making it the fourth longest in history. Part of the reason for the length of the space walk was difficulty in hooking Grunsfeld's suit up to orbiter power after he had returned to Discovery's airlock. Friday's space walk brings the total time of STS-103 extravehicular activity to 24 hours, 33 minutes. This mission's three space walks bring the total amount of time spent servicing Hubble to 93 hours, 13 minutes. Space Shuttle Program space walks now total 317 hours, 3 minutes. And Steve Smith now is the astronaut with the second longest combined space walk time, with 35 hours, 33 minutes behind only Jerry Ross, with 44 hours, 11 minutes.
Discovery is in an orbit with a high point of 380 miles and a low point of 363 miles. All of the orbiter's systems continued to function normally. The next status report will be issued at 11 a.m. Saturday or when events warrant.

Now in Rome: Caravaggio as you have never seen it before
People visiting Rome during the next three months will have the unique opportunity to witness the restoration of a work of art as it happens.
The painting getting a "lifting" is Caravaggio's Adoration of the Shepherds.
The choice could't be more fitting, because Caravaggio is one of the painters more closely associated with Rome, and because during 2010 the city will be commemorating the 400th anniversay of the death of the famous painter.
Two days a week, on Wednesday and Friday, the visitors will be allowed into the premises of Punto Camera in via Via del Parlamento 19th to observe the restorators at work. It is necessary to make a reservation, which can be done through the website of the sponsor of the event.
Getting again the chance to get in such close contact with the work of one of the masters of Italian painting will be almost impossible, so don't miss this great opportunity!
And don't miss either the chance to stay in one of the best hotels in Rome: Hotel Des Artistes and Yes Hotel.
Its helpful staff, great service, and convenient rates will put even more smiles in your face when you visit Rome!

Ohio State continually lacks a leader in men's sports that will handle a game and not let it get away. Crafts intentions are to go to into medicine, so he's definitely not the leader of the sport that needs desire and athleticism to lead a team to national prominence. He's an intense player but can't take control of game and that's from the tip not half way through the first half or a comeback in the second half. The fault is with recruiting!
