LAS VEGAS – UFC President Dana White took to the podium at Thursday's press conference for UFC 168 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena and cracked a wide smile.
"I sell fights for a living … I know … but I've been thinking about this fight since the first one ended," White said. "I've been so excited for this fight and now it's finally here on Saturday night."
The main event at UFC 168 is a rematch only five months in the making between middleweight champion Chris Weidman and Anderson Silva, who lost the belt and his first UFC fight in seven years by a stunning knockout in July.
Several questions have surrounded the first title bout between Weidman and Silva. And there are just as many as to what might be different this time.
Silva, a Brazilian superstar who lives in Redondo Beach, admitted some changes occurred that could result in a different outcome.
"I think the biggest change was really with myself," said Silva, 38, in his native Portuguese via translator. "It's very hard at one point to be the fighter and the coach, and I knew I had to change something, so I have to thank my team. The change was really in myself."
As for Weidman, he's not sure what to expect from his opponent.
"How do I think he's gonna be different? That's a question for him," Weidman, 29, said. "I have no idea. I have no idea. And I don't care, to be honest with you."
Bad blood
The co-main event features another rematch, though one that happened a year and a half ago in an organization that was bought up and dissolved by Zuffa, the UFC's parent company largely owned by Lorenzo and Frank Fertitta.
Ronda Rousey makes the second defense of her women's bantamweight championship when she takes on Miesha Tate, whom she defeated for the Strikeforce title with an unforgettably devastating armbar.
Rousey has admitted their feud was initially by design, but she harbors no regrets.
"If we didn't create that rivalry, I'm not sure Dana and the Fertittas would have been watching that fight in the first place. Because people were interested in it for some reason," Rousey said. "At the time, I think that's exactly what was needed. Everybody was playing the Miss America card and, though there were great fights, no one was really watching them. So I think a spectacle had to be created at first."
Their rivalry has not only had longer to fester, but it took off after a contentious season of coaching against each other and filming "The Ultimate Fighter" early in the summer.
And while most of the questions have focused on the harsh feelings and not the fight itself, Tate is not deterred.
"I've been being asked questions about Ronda for months upon months and I think there was nothing worse than dealing with her on 'The Ultimate Fighter,' so one of these interviews aren't going to scare me away," Tate said. "I'm here to fight."
The power of eight
Heavyweight Josh Barnett gave what was probably the most entertaining answer of the day.
When asked how he would prepare for the occasionally unconventional striking style of Travis Browne, Barnett revealed an interesting training session involving a cephalopod mollusc and an energy drink.
"Being from the Pacific Northwest, we have the giant Pacific octopus, so we put some gloves on those and just sort of hopped it up on a bunch of Xyience and slung him around the ring at me," Barnett said. "I think it couldn't be any more unusual than that. Unfortunately, I didn't do that well. It hit me in the face and I couldn't see. It got a whole bunch of shots off.
"Luckily to my knowledge, while Travis has grown a very regal beard, which I'm quite impressed with, I don't think he squirts ink, so I feel very confident."
'Father' knows best?
Asked if he's given thought to retiring, Silva shot it down and pointed to the eight fights left on his UFC contract.
Silva also offered this volley toward White when asked about competing in the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.
"I'd really like to represent Brazil in taekwondo at the Olympics, but I don't really have enough time to do everything I'd like to do," Silva said before glancing up at White. "And I don't think really that Daddy wants it."
White offered nothing more than a big grin.
Next in line
White confirmed that Brazilian sensation and former UFC champion Vitor Belfort, who has three consecutive knockout victories, would get the winner of the Weidman-Silva bout.
"You know, Vitor has been out there fighting, taking on all comers," White said. "And he's next in line without a doubt.

Jury selection continues in Leopold misconduct trial
Anne Arundel County executive accused of misconduct, misappropriation
The misconduct trial for embattled Anne Arundel County Executive John Leopold is under way.
Jury selection began Wednesday in Anne Arundel County Circuit Court and included a pool of 40 possible jurors, but the judge wants an additional 50 jurors on standby just in case. Eventually the pool will be whittled down to 12 jurors and four alternates come Thursday.
Leopold was indicted in March on charges of misconduct and misappropriation.
The indictment alleged that Leopold used his executive security detail for personal and political gain. It accused him of using police officers as campaign workers and, on other occasions, instructed officers to drive him to sexual encounters in parking lots with a former employee of the County Executive's Office.
Leopold has also been accused of ordering officers to open up dossiers on his political opponents to spy on them.
The American Civil Liberties Union filed a lawsuit against Leopold late last year that alleges Leopold, his office and the Anne Arundel County Police Department improperly collected and retained information on certain individuals on a so-called "enemies list," and then refused to turn over that information when it was requested.
If convicted, Leopold could get up to five years in prison.
Leopold is also facing sexual harassment allegations from three women, but those allegations won't be addressed during this trial.
It is not clear if actual testimony will begin Thursday or Friday.

I have noticed that there are several representations of Linux and Windows that are used to dissuade people from migrating. Unfortunately, an uninformed migration normally ends up in disappointment and, as a result, hurt people resort to disqualifying depictions again in a never-ending circle. I decided to list some of those representations here as a reminder of the fanboy spirit that rests upon the pedestal of prejudice.
1. Windows, the Imaginary Friend
Many users, blind because Windows constitutes their only experience with an OS, simply reject the opportunity to try Linux. Their perception of satisfaction has been dulled by years of exposure to the same problems, to the point that they just accept those shortcomings as "natural". These people are not to be blamed, though. After all, when one is immersed into a paradigm, rarely is it that one questions the nature of the experience one is going through. So, as major security flaws and abusive policies become the air these people breathe, they consider themselves satisfied if they can obtain an "additional feature for free". I cannot but think of MS Security Essentials because these people fall for deals like those you see in TV offers ("If you buy the hair styler now, you get, completely free, the power cord!") or they are even willing to pay to unlock OS features that were previously given to them (wallpapers or language packs in Windows 7 Starter, anyone?). Yet, they think Windows is their loving friend...A friend that rips them off time and again...But they are happy!
2. Linux, the Deadly Monster
MS evangelists do train people to bluntly reject Linux. This is not a myth; I had an encounter with one of those brain-washed professionals once and she tried to disqualify Linux even though Windows made her look like a fool during her presentation.
When you mention the word "Linux" to these individuals, they cringe and gnaw wildly. It is true that they have no practical reason or criterion to badmouth the penguin, but they do it just the same because it is part of their creed. I suppose that they sing:
"Mine eyes have seen the glory,
of good, old Microsoft.
It is trampling out the kernel
where the Linux code is stored..."
or something like that before they are sent to the world. These people are self-deluded and become irritated if they see Linux succeed in public...especially if Windows failed at performing the same task.
3. Linux, the Redeemer
"Break the shackles of tyranny! Go Linux!," cry out certain people for whom Linux has become the solution for computer problems, social injustice, environmental disasters, and metaphysical concerns. They are the Linux equivalent of the MS evangelists I described above.
Let us be realistic: yes, Linux can give solutions to a number of computer-based concerns and it can make your computer more appealing and practical once you know how to work with it. However, if you believed that Linux is the promised land, then remember there was a long pilgrimage on rough desert terrain to get there. This applies particularly well to Windows users who simply grabbed an Ubuntu Live CD and installed Canonical's distro thinking that it would magically read all hardware (something that Windows cannot do, either, unless you have the drivers) and, after banging their heads on walls, they curse ALL Linux distributions today...or Mandriva users who update to Cooker and wonder why the computer is not working as it was before...Yes, believe it or not, there are people who actually do that and later blame Linux!
4. Linux, My Bodyguard
For these beginner Linux users, Linux represents an all-mighty fortress that stands impenetrable. Consequently, they engage in all sorts of risky on line behavior. While it is a fact that Linux is more secure than Windows is, the hubris of these tragic heroes gradually leads them to their destruction...or to the bitter realization that a great many of the attacks a computer can suffer are fostered by a careless user.
Fanboys always wage wars based on prejudice. Regardless of the OS you like, an open mind will help you fly over the clouds of ignorance and, eventually, you can make a conscious choice about whether or not your OS satisfies your needs or if a migration is the solution to your computer woes or the beginning of them.
A blog to compile what I have learned (and what I am learning) about Mandriva (and GNU/Linux in general) since 2009, when I migrated. Current distros I'm using: OpenMandriva Lx 4, Mageia 7, PCLinuxOS, MX 19, PicarOS, Elive 3, and AntiX 13.

Orwell Would Be Proud: NSA Defender Explains How Even Though NSA Spies On Americans, It's OK To Say They Don't
from the try-that-again? deptBenjamin Wittes of the Brooking Institution has become the go-to non-government NSA apologist. One of his most recent articles is a true work of rhetorical artistry, in which he tries to explain why saying "the NSA doesn't spy on Americans" is acceptable shorthand for the fact that the NSA spies on pretty much every American. It's a master class in political doubletalk. First, it's the law's fault. The law, you see, is too complicated for mere mortals not working for the NSA to understand, so that makes it okay to lie:
The law is so dense and so complicated that it cannot be accurately summarized at a level a citizen can reasonably process.Got that? Because there are some limitations on all the spying they do on Americans, and it's too complicated to understand those limitations, so it's okay to lie and say they don't spy on Americans. Of course, in the very next paragraph, Wittes tries to effectively brush away the massive amount of surveillance done on Americans.
Any effort to summarize the relevant law necessarily ignores themes sufficiently important to its architecture that the reductionism will partake of serious inaccuracy. The person who told my friend that NSA does not spy on Americans was not lying. He or she was highlighting a crucially-important limitation on NSA's authority vis a vis US persons. The law and the relevant regulations all contain significant territorial restrictions and significant protections for US persons overseas as well—all designed to separate the foreign intelligence mission of NSA from both domestic intelligence and domestic law enforcement. It's a sincere and pervasive effort. "We don't spy on Americans" is a common shorthand for a wealth of law and practice that really and meaningfully keeps the agency out of the business of being a covert domestic intelligence agency.
NSA, after all, does spy on individual Americans with an order from the FISC. It does, moreover, capture all domestic telephony metadata. And most importantly, it does routinely capture communications between Americans and the targets of its surveillance and incidentally capture other material its systems scoop up overseas—subject to rules that limit the retention and processing of US person information. In other words, to say that NSA does not spy on Americans emphatically does not mean, as a reasonable student or citizen might expect it to mean, that the agency does not regularly acquire and process the communications of Americans.Of course, as Jameel Jaffer from the ACLU points out, this is all nonsense because it's a simple fact that the NSA does do surveillance on Americans, and to claim otherwise is not acceptable shorthand. It's a lie. And while Wittes then tries to obfuscate things even more by trying and purposely failing to come up with a concise way of summarizing what the NSA does, Jaffer helps out with a few workable suggestions:
This is nonsense. Perhaps Ben's right that it's difficult to come up with a single sentence, or even a single paragraph, that clearly and comprehensively describes the nature and extent of the NSA's surveillance of Americans. (Can you describe any federal agency's functions in a single, comprehensive paragraph?) But it's not difficult to come up with a sentence more accurate than "The NSA doesn't spy on Americans." Try this one: "The NSA spies on Americans." Or this one: "The NSA collects a huge amount of information about Americans' communications and in many contexts it collects the communications themselves." Or this one: "The NSA is sometimes described as a foreign-intelligence agency but this label should not obscure the fact that a large part of the agency's energy is dedicated to collecting and analyzing information about Americans."Jaffer further points out that Wittes's suggestion that those who claim the NSA doesn't spy on Americans are really trying to tell the truth through shorthand, is actually misleading. As Jaffer points out:
Any official who says the NSA isn't spying on Americans is seeking to mislead.And anyone defending that statement is trying to support that fundamental attempt to mislead.

New technologies have a greater chance at being accepted and embraced when they're easy to adopt. And to help the spread of solar power Sharp has developed a new see-through solar cell, allowing them to be used as architectural accents that blend into a building.
So instead of having to cover a roof or fill a property with an array of unsightly panels pointed at the sun, these new cells can be used as protective railings on a balcony, or even as regular windows in places where complete visibility isn't a necessity. However, besides being just semi-transparent, the new panels only output about 95 watts of energy at around 6.8 per cent efficiency. And when you compare that to the 20 per cent efficiency boasted by some of the most advanced panels in use today, there are some obvious trade-offs to the new technology. But every little bit helps, and Sharp plans to roll out the solar panels starting October 1 in Japan. As for the rest of the world? Hopefully shortly thereafter. [Sharp Japan via CNET]

Around 35 years ago, right after my husband and I bought our first house at the beach, we purchased a print of pink flamingos standing in water. It had a mirrored frame. I, in my ignorance, thought it was a unique deco piece, very kitsch, very cool, and hopefully very valuable. Not too long after we hung it in a prominent spot, I was watching the movie "The Right Stuff" and saw the exact piece hanging on the wall of a motel room scene. Kind of a bummer learning that…Read More

Liberty City Sawmills is a company in Trenton, Portland, Liberty City in Grand Theft Auto III and Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories that makes timber, wood and furniture. The company also has branches outside Liberty City. Drilling can always be heard when on the rooftop or the level right below the rooftop. It is the first building seen on the left after driving past Greasy Joe's Café (or Rusty Brown's Ring Donuts as in GTA Liberty City Stories).
In GTA III, a hidden package can be found on the rooftop. It is only accessible from the back by jumping onto a large vehicle and jumping the fence. A Rumpo is usually parked near the northwest side of the building. There is also an armor pickup and an Uzi on the roof.
In GTA Liberty City Stories, the gate opens from the outside. There is a chainsaw behind the building next to a trailer. Unlike GTA III, there are no pickups on the roof.
The building was used in the mission Dead Meat to kill Giovanni Casa. The structure of the factory and Angel Pine Sawmill are very similar.
Giovanni Casa stands under the electric saw.

|"You know well the cost of war. I ask you to exchange one life for many."
|— General How urging Aang to kill Zuko in order to avoid unnecessary bloodshed.[1]
How was a top general, the leader of the Council of Five, and a longtime veteran of the Hundred Year War. Essentially being the supreme officer of the Earth Kingdom military and the primary military adviser of the Earth King, How's primary duty was to guard the Outer Wall of Ba Sing Se. However, he was also involved with the Earth Kingdom's war effort outside the wall, providing resources, troops, and intelligence to the generals located in other bases throughout the Earth Kingdom. A man of honor and courage, General How was proud to serve his kingdom in their war against the Fire Nation. Like the rest of the Council of Five, How was completely loyal to the Earth King.[2]
A conflicted loyalist
As a loyal general to the 52nd Earth King, Kuei, and the Earth Kingdom itself, he was conflicted about the fact that the Hundred Year War remained a secret from the Earth King,[2] but How, along with the other council members, was forced to obey Long Feng and the might of his Dai Li. The Grand Secretariat of Ba Sing Se, however, was not interested in winning the war or using Ba Sing Se's resources to aid the Earth Kingdom Army outside the wall.
Nevertheless, How did not succumb to resignation because of this, but instead tried his best to help the Earth Kingdom Army in fighting the war.
Fall of the Earth Kingdom
After Long Feng's conspiracy in the city was revealed to the Earth King, How and his men searched Long Feng's office. They retrieved several documents, including a military report revealing the location of the Southern Water Tribe's forces, a scroll from the Guru Pathik, and a letter claiming to be from Toph's mother.[3] Shortly afterward, How and the other council members were making preparations for the invasion of the Fire Nation during the solar eclipse to end the war in favor of the Earth Kingdom. They used the knowledge Team Avatar had gathered to devise an invasion plan. How finally revealed the plan to Katara, who acted as the representative of the absent Avatar, and declared that the invasion would spell the demise of the Fire Nation. What How did not know at the time was that the Fire Nation recently found out about the invasion plan. The Fire Nation Princess Azula and her elite team, disguised as Kyoshi Warriors, had infiltrated Ba Sing Se and allied with the Dai Li to overthrow the Earth King. During the Coup of Ba Sing Se, How and the other council members were captured by Dai Li agents using metal chains to manacle the powerful earthbenders.[4] Soon after, Ba Sing Se fell and was conquered by the Fire Nation Army.
Enforcing the Harmony Restoration Movement
After the liberation of Ba Sing Se, How was released from prison and reinstated as leader of the Earth Kingdom Army. A year after the end of the War, General How was ordered by Earth King Kuei to lead troops to the Fire Nation colony of Yu Dao in order to carry out the Harmony Restoration Movement by force.[5]
At Yu Dao, he reclaimed the Fire Nation colony for the Earth Kingdom. When the Fire Nation troops arrived, How tried to persuade Aang to end Fire Lord Zuko's life, stating that an army with no leader was like a dragon with no head. This way, the Fire Nation troops would have been forced to surrender, preventing the death of many soldiers. However, Aang was reluctant to kill his own friend, and when Toph's metalbending made all the wheels of the Fire Nation tanks come off, How humorously stated that the analogous dragon now had no legs.
Determined to use that advantage, the general ordered his troops to arrest the Fire Nation colonials while the Fire Nation troops were in disarray. However, the forces of the Fire Lord quickly reorganized themselves and an open battle ensued. During the fight, How was able to break through to the two leaders of the Yu Dao Resistance, Kori Morishita and Sneers. He tried to tell the rebels that if they surrendered peacefully, they would be treated with mercy. Kori refused and attacked him, causing How to tell his soldiers to arrest her, but they were subsequently interrupted by Zuko's firebending. The Fire Lord demanded the withdrawal of the Earth Kingdom troops. Unmoved, How declared that Zuko stood on Earth Kingdom soil where his words had no authority. The general and the Fire Lord began fiercely fighting each other until Aang earthbent the ground between them, leading the two to be separated and Zuko to fall into a crevice; despite having been opponents mere seconds before, How shouted after a falling Zuko in concern. After Aang saved the Fire Lord from falling to his death and convinced Kuei to end his military campaign, How returned with the Earth King and his army to the capital.[1]

FORT WORTH -- Terry Lee and Bruce Sledge meet three to four days a week in the group study section of the Tarrant County College South Campus library.
Textbooks and manuals with titles like Air Conditioning System and Design and pages showing psychometric charts that illustrate the physical and thermal properties of moist air are scattered between them.
For two older military veterans who haven't been full-time students in about 30 years, it is pretty heavy stuff.
"I graduated high school in 1969, so I've got some cobwebs," Sledge, a 60-year-old Air Force veteran, said with a chuckle. "These days they have PowerPoint and computers and new technology and everything is at a hyper rate of speed. But I'm ready for the challenge."
Sledge and Lee, 50, are among the nearly 50,000 unemployed veterans nationally who have been approved for the Department of Veterans Affairs' new job-training and education program. It is a one-time shot for veterans ages 35 to 60 to get a year of course work in fields offering a high potential for future employment.
The Veterans Retraining Assistance Program was created as part of the VOW to Hire Heroes Act passed by Congress and signed by President Barack Obama in 2011.
A flood of applications from out-of-work veterans suggests the demand for training is strong. Since the program opened for enrollment in May, Veterans Affairs has received 61,186 applications and approved 48,120. The goal is to train 99,000 veterans over the next two years.
The program is not intended to help veterans get four-year degrees, but rather certificates or training in growing industries, Veterans Affairs officials say. Computer support, business operations and substance-abuse counseling are among the jobs veterans are seeking.
"What it is designed for is to make our veterans quickly eligible to get back into the job market in high-demand occupations," said Phyllis Curtis, education officer at the VA Regional Office in Muskogee, Okla., which oversees the North Texas program. "We're very pleased with the level of interest."
The unemployment rate for veterans was 6.6 percent in August, compared to the national rate of 8.1.
Program is a 'big help'
Sledge and Lee were both without jobs when they learned about the program, known as VRAP.
Lee knew nothing of it when he showed up at the Tarrant County College registrar's office this spring to get information about the school's heating, ventilation and air conditioning program. He served for about six years in the Air Force until he was honorably discharged in 1986.
Economic reasons forced him to give up his roofing and construction business in April 2011, and he had been out of work since, he said.
"They asked me if I was a veteran and I said, 'Why, yes, I am,'" said Lee, a Fort Worth resident. "I was overjoyed when they told me I was eligible. Didn't even know the program existed and now it's really turning into a big help."
The VRAP program pays participants $1,473 a month for schooling costs, Curtis said.
Counselors who work with veterans say the program is not for all their clients. It requires legwork by the applicant: find a school within program parameters, get the field of study approved, show that you are unemployed, etc., said James Frost, a lead veteran employment representative with the Texas Veterans Commission.
Because the stipend is a reimbursement, the participant may have to pay some costs upfront, he said.
"You have to really get your ducks in a row," Frost said. "It would help a lot for people to have some kind of support network to help get through the training."
It is too early in the program to know how many people are completing it, said Jessica Jacobsen, a spokeswoman at the Dallas Veterans Affairs office.
'We're going to do it'
Lee, who last attended school in the early 1980s, said he is still making the transition from business owner to student with a 15-hour course load. Algebra skills that he hasn't used in decades have faded, he said.
"Math skills are like a muscle: If you don't use them every day, you're going to lose them," he said. "This program is very intense and very demanding."
Lee and Sledge said there are several other veterans enrolled in the TCC program who are VRAP participants. Usually, it is only the two men in the library after class, but Sledge said he hoped others in the class would soon join them.
On this morning, the men flipped pages in their textbooks and reviewed their charts.
Being a student isn't easy, but Sledge said the men will finish the program.
"We're going to do it," he said. "Too good of an opportunity to let it pass by."

I had a fat freeze treatment and was a little nervous initially. Sue gave me a good consutaltion and went through all my concerns. The treatment itself was very relaxing and I could listen to my ipod and work at the same time as laying on the bed. I would recommend this clinic due to Sues expertise, and I shall be returning for some laser hair removal.
Fantastic place! Have had 3 lazer sessions really happy so far. A very friendly atmosphere and comfortable. Prices are good and really worth it. I would defiantly recommend everyone to go to the ace aesthetics! I have had lazer done before somewhere else and had a terrible experience had no hope in lazer but decided to give it a last try and really pleased that I came here. Also sue truly makes you feel relaxed and maintains a good bond with customers, I look forward to coming here and defiantly the right place for me.
I recently completed a course of skin tightening jowl treatment and have noticed a considerable improvement in the jawline. Sue is a very professional,competent and approachable therapist. She explains the procedure clearly and takes pride in achieving the best results for her client.She creates a lovely,warm and relaxing ambience in her salon and I would highly recommend her.
I have just finished my appointments with sue at ace aesthetics .the results were amazing i would highly recommend the laser hair removal i would never return to waxing now .prices were brilliant too,very professional ,clean and goood value for money.
Nicely tucked away in a discrete side street and within 5 minutes of the tube station - this place is a gem. It was recommended to me by a friend and Im happy I went. The lady who saw me was very detailed in my conusultation and also took photos so that we can compare before and after treatments. i thought that was a good idea and made me feel better about spending my money
I had some laser treatments for hair removal at Ace with Sue. Sue has a very friendly, gentle and lovely personality and she uses the best machine on the market: the Soprano which is virtually pain free. She turned it on to a high setting at my request and it has made the hair removal very efficient. I could not be any happier!

In my quest to find both a reasonably priced service with a high level of standards, I came across Ace Aesthetics whom I have been a client of for over a year receiving full body laser hair removal treatments. Having previously received this same treatment with numerous other businesses, I am relieved to have found Ace Aesthetics who provide an excellent standard of treatments using the latest technology machines (having done much research on this!) which have been the most successful at permanently removing significant areas of hair on my body almost pain free...almost! This is also due to Sue's outstanding professionalism in providing an extremely thorough service in sufficient time.
Although I have to date only had laser hair removal treatments here, Sue is full of knowledge on most aspects of beauty treatments and has given me excellent advice on other beauty concerns I have had.
Providing an exceptional standard of client service, a huge effort is always made to fit me in for a treatment at a time most convenient for me. Parking is available at all times and the location being in the prestigious Richmond means I can also go for a quick shopping spree!
All the above considered I would highly recommend any of the beauty treatments available at Ace Aesthetics to everyone.
Narin Al-Hafid
Really good service! Good sense of relationship! I am completely satisfy!!
Sarah Cerneaux
I can highly recommend Sue's Ace Aesthetic Salon. I have been her client for the past 4 years and I can't thank her enough for making my life easier -hair free :) VERY DELIGHTED with the service! 5 stars to Ace Aesthetics. Fantastic value for the money, great location, helpful and friendly staff - THE BEST SALON EVER!!!
Sue Zarubova
Great Service! I had the laser hair removal and was really pleased with the results even after my first session! Would definitely recommend, great welcoming staff and felt as ease throughout.
Glamblow Richmond
I have been very happy with all the treatment I have been receiving by Sue last 3 years.

England came up just short in a 15-run defeat against West Indies, despite a century on one-day international debut from veteran Twenty20 specialist Michael Lumb.
It appeared for much of the tourists' chase at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium that, ironically, a 34-year-old in his first ODI would kick-start England's 'new era' after their Ashes misery and its much-chronicled aftermath.
Instead, the telling deeds turned out to be those of Windies captain Dwayne Bravo (87), who engineered a brilliant recovery from 45 for four in the 16th over to 269 for six in successive century stands with Lendl Simmons (65) and Darren Sammy (61).
Lumb (106) and Moeen Ali, the latter in his first international match of any type, replied with an opening partnership of 96, but once they were gone, no one else could rise to the challenge as England's sorry sequence this winter extended to 13-1 across the formats this winter.
Moeen chipped a catch to long on off Dwayne Smith and Luke Wright then mustered only a single before pulling his ninth ball straight to midwicket off Sammy.
Lumb stayed the course until the 37th over, his trademark powerful strokeplay centring on drives down the ground and flashes through the off side and his 109-ball hundred containing seven fours and two sixes.
He became the ninth batsman in ODI history to make a century on debut, and just the second for England after Dennis Amiss 42 years ago - long before Lumb himself was born.
It was a memorable performance, but not a winning one as the Windies went 1-0 up with two to play.
Lumb carved a catch to cover off Ravi Rampaul; then England's powerhouse middle order failed to materialise.
The introduction of Sunil Narine's unconventional off-breaks was too much for Ben Stokes, bowled round his legs sweeping, and Joe Root, who gloved a catch behind trying a similar shot.
Jos Buttler holed out in the off-side ring and, in his 100th ODI, Ravi Bopara could not quite come to terms with requirements as the home seamers took the pace off the ball.
The Windies were put in and spooked by early spin, but finished with a flourish thanks to Bravo and then Sammy's whirlwind 50 from only 33 deliveries.
Sammy hit five fours and four sixes as 116 runs were plundered in the last 10 overs.
By contrast, England had made all the early running.
The experiment of opening the bowling with Root worked a treat as the part-time off-spinner's first spell read 5-1-13-1.
James Tredwell was then a like-for-like but frontline replacement for Root at the pavilion end, and he too soon struck - as did first-change Tim Bresnan (three for 68).
Smith hit Root for a towering six over long off in his second over, but otherwise the Windies could not get started. Kieran Powell tried to drive Root on the up but fell to a brilliant diving catch by Chris Jordan at short cover.
It took Tredwell only three deliveries to see off West Indies' other opener, Smith edging on to his pad and wicketkeeper Buttler scampering round to take another diving catch in the leg side.
Kirk Edwards did not convince and eventually missed an attempted drive at Bresnan and was bowled off-stump.
When Moeen turned one from round the wicket to make Darren Bravo his first international victim, lbw, the hosts appeared to be in danger of faltering permanently.
But their captain and Simmons had other ideas in a crucial fifth-wicket partnership.
Dwayne Bravo took 36 balls to reach double figures and Simmons' cut for four off Tredwell was the only boundary in almost 20 overs.
It was a period of necessary caution, but the powerplay brought 41 runs and the wicket of only Simmons - backing away against Bresnan to try to beat the off-side ring but managing only to loop a low catch into the wind.
If that was not a percentage shot, almost all of Bravo's were in a 74-ball 50 which contained just three fours.
As Stuart Broad restricted himself to only six overs, Jordan's line struggled badly in the cross-wind.
He ended up bowling an extra over in wides and Root's ninth and final over cost 23, as some typically robust hitting from Sammy ensured England would have to bat very well after all.
Lumb did just that, but was acting alone.

My wifi dongle worked in Raspberrian so I did a lsmod from the command line to figure out which kernel module it was using.
Although it wasn't listed in Puppy's network module list I could load it by clicking on the "More" tab and then on the "Specify" button, but it still couldn't find any new interface.
I thought I saw some kind of error message during boot up before X came up so I exited X ( you could ctrl+alt+F1 to see the boot messages and ctrl+alt+F4 to go back to X ) and that was how I found out that the kernel module for my wifi dongle couldn't find one of its files in the /lib/firmware directory.
I copied everything from Raspberrian's /lib/firmware directory to Puppy's /lib/firmware, probably overkill, and then my wifi worked.
Yeah, good suggestion, I will give this a go. But if I run in to trouble I might decide to compile a new driver. Wat kernel source sfs can I use? It is not listed in the kernel source repo.

Post subject: Kernel Source
I copied the kernel from Raspbian, I didn't compile it but I had come across a page describing how to do it.
I don't know if that's the same source as was used for Puppy but I think it should work because copying the kernel worked.
It's Raspbian not Raspberrian

Post subject: raspberrian kernel in puppy
You copied the entire kernel? So not only the firmware in /lib/firmware. I can try that too but I would like to stick with the original 3.1.6-cutdown kernel from Barry.
Did he not use T2 source? I think I read something like that but can't remember where.
Thanks for the tips woodenshoe , I will give it a go, and if I can get my hands on the original kernel source from Barry I will try that too and see what happens.
Anyone out there knows where I can download the kernel source sfs for the squeezed arm puppy that Barry used? I would like to stick to the original source if possible.

The kernel that Barry used way back when is very obsolete from when they were first getting their feet on the ground. It has lots of problems that have been fixed along the way.
If you don't want to deal with the kernel yourself, you can use Berryboot, which will install Puppy along with several other distributions in a multiboot kind of situation sharing a fairly recent, good, kernel.

Aha, so that's why. I'll try newer kernel source then. Nice option though, the Berryboot multi boot.

The berryboot thing is interesting and seems to work really well.
I am not 100% on how it works, but it uses squashfs files and layers like puppy. One layer a read only file system for the OS and then the changes (stuff that would go in the save file in a puppy frugal install) is just in a folder and layered on top of it.

Getflash does not work, the package manager has no flash under the arm6 section and adobe flash in the normal debian section does not want to install. I don't see any external flash file anywhere for Puppi.
Can somebody explain to me as if I was 90 years old how to install flash for chromium?.

First attempts with R-Pi.
See this post
in my thread on this topic.
2. Tried to boot "Puppy Raspberry Pi alpha 4" [on a 16GB card], and got NOTHING!
3. Wheezy [on a separate 16GB card] boots OK on the same hardware setup, but I think I've corrupted it by a previous improper power-off when I couldn't see the password characters going up on screen as I typed them.
I didn't know at that time that they are NEVER displayed, and that is by design.

The kernel in SAP is obsolete and won't run on newer Pi's.
The easiest way to get Puppy on the Pi is to use Berryboot. Google for it.
There is another thread for it on here too.
As far as I know, there is no way to get flash to run on the Pi, no matter what OS you use.

Berryboot is brilliant!
So easy to do, and works really well.
I used it to install Puppy and 1 other OS.
Puppy runs just fine.
Fills the screen.
Icons are a good size [I'd like to be able to see stuff OK from the far side of my livingroom].
May need to increase the size of text.
Thanks guys.
BTW: How should I run Youtube videos on this Puppy?
Will Flashplayer install/run?
Edit: typing this from SAP for R-Pi...
Only some of the keys on the keyboard work [right-side keys don't]; don't know which keyboard to specify.
Flashplayer won't download/install using getflash...
Installed Gnash, but that seems to not work.
Iceweasel rather slow.
Zoom has enlarged Iceweasel display.
Global increase of text size has improved matters here and there.
Some text is tiny.
e.g. In Xfe.

Has the Puppy for RPi initative expired?
When I first tried to buy a RPi in February 2012 I was told that the device was temporarily unavailable. In April I was allowed to put my name on a waiting list and in June I was allowed to place an order. The device was finally dispatched to me in December.
I experimented with the 'official' Debian for RPi, but of course what I really wanted was Puppy. Over a period of time I made several attempts at getting Alpha 4 up and running without even the slightest success. In addition to Debian I've been running Fedora and openELEC on my RPi. Fedora is less awful than Debian and openELEC is actually quite good (it more or less turns the RPi into a worthwhile purchase). But none of them are Puppy.
Although I've dived into this thread several times, it wasn't until a few days ago that I found the post from woodenshoe on
page 13
that explains how to get alpha 4 to boot on an RPi version 2.
So OK, I've now managed to get Alpha 4 to boot up. I'm online and I can browse the web.
The instructions that woodenshoe gave come in two parts. Making changes to the boot partition of Alpha 4 is easy. Even my Win2000 system can do it. But the changes to the puppy partition are a different matter.
My Lucid Puppy 525 system can't mount the puppy partition on the SD card. It gives an error. My Mandriva system can recognise the puppy partition as ext4 but can't mount it. I tried running SolusOS from a live CD. It can mount the partition but SolusOS is a Debian derivative. It won't give me write access.
So my first question is: Is there a Puppy version that can mount the Alpha 4 puppy partition? If there is, I will happily download the iso file.
The next issue is: woodenshoe talks about switching kernels to 3.2.27. But the world has moved on. If you now download the rpi-firmware-master from https://github.com/Hexxeh/rpi-firmware/archive/master.zip it does not contain the 3.2.27 kernel. It now seems to reference Kernel version 3.6.11.
My attempts at switching to Kernel version 3.6.11 have all collapsed ignominiously. Of course it's probably my fault. I'm not a Linux geek, just a hobbist who happens to love Puppy Linux.
So my second question is: Will there ever be a version 4.0.1 of the Alpha 4 img.xz file that incorporates the changes that woodenshoe described?. It would be a great help people like me who want to load Puppy on their version 2 RPi's.
As for an Alpha 5, I dont even dare ask the question.

Post subject: Not mounting partition
I ran into the same problem with the second partition not mounting if I clicked on the drive icon, but strangely enough it would mount from the command line.
mount /dev/sdb2 /mnt/sdb2
Replace sdb2 with whatever is correct for you.
After mounting you can just click on the drive icon to look at the partition, and unmount it from the menu like normal, it is only mounting that doesn't work.
This worked for me in lupu 528. In racy 5.5.1 there was no problem in the first place, but you don't need to download a new version of puppy if the mount command above works.
Since it sounds like you can boot with the original kernel, you could try downloading or copying the rpi-firmware-master.zip from a usb stick to the Raspberry Pi and unpack the new kernel modules there. You can have several versions of kernel modules in /lib/modules (each in their own directory) but a new kernel won't boot without a matching set of it's own modules. (Actually I have booted a new kernel I had compiled for my laptop and loaded the wrong savefile that didn't have the new kernel modules in it and it booted up to the desktop just fine except that the mouse and keyboard didn't work...
I did try the new kernel 3.6.11+ and it does work too. The second boot is faster than the first, for some reason it needed to look at my mouse and keyboard several times during the first boot. The pinboard didn't load on the first boot either, just a black screen with the task bar at the bottom. Simply rebooting fixed it though.
The file /tmp/bootkernel.log would give you an idea if any firmware is missing. Booting by itself my Raspberry Pi wasn't missing any, but depending on what kind of wifi dongle you attach you may need additional firmware to make it functional. As far as I know firmware files are architecture independent and could be copied from any distro that has the right ones.

Wood debuts at first base
Brandon Wood, with all of five professional games of experience at the position, found himself on the lineup card at first base and batting seven against the Yankees' CC Sabathia on Sunday at Angel Stadium.
"It's a challenge I'm looking forward to," Wood said. "I've played enough there now at [Triple-A] Salt Lake to get a feel for it. It's definitely a different look and feel, but I'm getting more comfortable every time I play there. By the third or fourth game, I was checking things off: I can do that, I can do that.
"One thing I didn't realize is how much is involved at first in terms of physical activity – all the squatting, moving around. I find that my legs are more tired after playing first than at short or third."
A shortstop all his life, taken in the first round of the 2003 First-Year Player Draft out of Horizon High School in Scottsdale, Ariz., Wood has been the gem of the farm system since '04. He has been brought along slowly – the Angels are loaded with quality players at shortstop and third base – but has shown clear signs in limited opportunities this season of putting it all together.
His first three starts this season have been at third base, where he has excelled spelling Chone Figgins. Wood made a superb back-handed stab on Saturday, robbing Johnny Damon of a hit in the fifth inning, and responded in the bottom half of the winning with a homer to right center against Andy Pettitte. It jump-started the Angels' offense, and they went on to prevail, 14-8.
Wood had two hits against Sabathia in New York on May 2, including an opposite-field single that ignited a decisive rally.
"A play like the one Woody made can give you a boost of confidence," teammate Reggie Willits said. "I've seen that carry over to your next at-bat – and you saw what happened. Woody has big-time talent, no question about it."
Wood agreed that his defensive contribution might have sharpened his focus in his at-bat against Pettitte. He was ahead 3-1 in the count when he went after a pitch down and on the outer half of the plate and sent it rocketing into the seats in right center.
"He has ridiculous power," Willits said. "I've seen him hit some shots you wouldn't believe in the Minors."
Wood, who swung at only two of Pettitte's first 10 pitches on Saturday, walking in his first at-bat, is making an impression on the man in charge.
"Brandon is making significant strides, offensively and defensively," manager Mike Scioscia said. "He's looked good at first in Salt Lake. He's athletic, with good hands, and he is taking to it well, just as he did at third."

keep him in the freaking majors than mike he has showed that he can hit big league pitching the 2nd half last year and now this year have him share short with izturis and get rid of eybar
Quit screwing with Wood!!! Make a decision about him already, but quit jerking him around. Are the Angels trying to break him like they did Matt Brown? He has proven he belongs in the major leagues, and is the best short stop AND 3rd baseman the Angels have. I suppose next he will be put at 2nd, or somewhere in the outfield. Hey, maybe the Angels should really mess him up and put him at catcher. Oh, wait a minute, they need relief pitchers, and he has a great arm. Hmm, what else can the Angels possibly do to mess him up, since they seem hell bent on doing so?
The Angels are quite frankly playing great ball right on the offensive side. This despite injuries to Tori, Vlad and now Rivera. So as they say, do not fix something that is not broken. This team has great chemistry. I would love to see Woody get in there as I too am a big fan. But his time will come. Izzy, Aybar, Figgy and Kendry are just playing too good right now to sit. Perhaps there is a spot in there at 2nd to get him in. But you have Howie there too. If Figgy doesn't sign next year, that will be his chance.
