Kevin Garnett sat out Friday night (DNP – old and tired) and Jeff Green finally got his chance to start. Doing the best KG impression he could muster, he tore up Los Suns with a season-high 31 points and added 7 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals and 5 blocks. Oh, hello there! What did you say your name was? I don't believe we've met. They traded you for who–Kendrick Perkins!? Pffft! If we step into the Razzball DeLorean back to several weeks ago, let's see what I said about Jeff: "I don't think we'll see the real Jeff Green until he gets his chance to start…If he can ever put it all together he's got all the tools to be a fantasy stud." And that's me quoting me! Green shot a fantastical 11-of-14 from the field, scored 15 in the first half alone and even hit 3 shots from downtown. If you haven't picked him up yet you should go pick him up now, he's still available in about a third of yahoo leagues but that number will shoot up over the weekend, especially with the Celtics fans clamoring for Doc Rivers to start Green on a day-to-day basis. Jeff is averaging 17.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, 3 assists, 1.5 3pm and 1.5 blk in the past 7 days, and after last night's performance, is worth adding in all standard leagues if you're feeling lucky.
Here's what else happened Friday night in fantasy basketball:
Jordan Crawford – 10 pts, 3 reb, 2 ast, 2 3pm in 15 minutes. Pretty sweet debut in green for Jordan too, but note that Garnett sat this game out and the Celtics blew out the Suns by 25. Probably won't see enough minutes to be a consistent option but worth a look in deeper leagues for those in need of threes.
Isaiah Thomas – 30 pts, 6 reb, 9 ast in 37 minutes. Coach Smart commented post game that IT2 played "OK." Sheesh, with a coach that tough to please no wonder this team has no motivation. Lil' Zeke is averaging 18.5 pts, 3.8 asts in the past two weeks, unfortunately the rest of the Kings are already packed and moved to Seattle, except for DeMarcus Cousins (26 pts, 13 reb) who already lives on another planet.
Deshawn Stevenson – 17 pts, 5 3pm, 2 reb, 1 ast, 1 stl. Stole Kyle Korver's secret vintage game-worn Jordan's from his locker and shot the lights out. (Spoiler: they are magic sneakers.)
Josh Smith – 18 pts, 6 reb, 4 ast, 1 blk. Do you see what you're missing Milwaukee!? Your loss!
Carlos Delfino – 22 pts, 5 reb, 5 ast, 1 stl. Carlos of the Fino got the start last night at PF and put up this killer line. Don't run to the WW yet though. Unfortunately, The Rox still anxiously await their newly acquired toy Thomas Robinson. JB told you to BUY Robinson so T-Rob could take most of the minutes as soon as he arrives, but Delfino should still be able to see 25-30 minutes a night even if he doesn't continue to start. I think Carlos is worth a flier either way.
Brook Lopez – 27 pts, 6 reb, 1 ast, 1 blk. Yaaawn. Come on, Bropez. Call me when you get 5 more rebounds and a couple more blocks. #centerswhodontrebound
James Harden – 22 pts, 5 reb, 4 ast, 1 stl, 4 3pm. Another player the Thunder traded for Kendrick Perkins (sort of). Kevin Martin is nice and all, but this guy? C'mon. Harden is one of the most exciting players in the league. And I would have said that even before he scored 46 points on Wednesday. Also, I am kind of in love with him.
Viacheslav Kravtsov – 14 pts, 10 reb. Type that 3 times fast. Or just once even. Yikes. VK played 29 minutes, more than anyone else on the team. How wild is that! No, I wouldn't pick him up, and no I can't pronounce his name, but I did get a post game quote, "I vill crush you." Thanks Viacheslav, you sound just like Ivan Drago in my head.
Kemba Walker – 27 pts, 5 reb, 1 ast, 1 stl, 4 3pm. Kemba finally puts it all together–and the Bobcats lose by 30!
Bismack Biyombo – 7 pts, 12 reb, 3 blk. The other bright spot on the B-Cats last night, the best name in basketball is averaging 9 rebs and 2 blks a game in the past two weeks. The Bissy-Biy is doing work!
Bradley Beal – 17 pts, 12 reb, 4 ast, 2 stl, 2 blk, 2 3pm. JB told you to BUY him and B-Rad is averaging 25 pts, 4 reb, and 3 3pm a game over the past week. *Pro tip* that will help your fantasy team!
Martell Webster – 15 pts, 7 reb, 2 ast, 1 stl, 3 3pm. The healthy return of Beal has hurt his value a bit but he's still producing some decent stats and seeing plenty of minutes to be worth a look.
Emeka Okafor– 17 pts, 13 reb. Emeking me crazy! Okafor is averaging 15.4 pts, 10.3 rebs over the past 4 games. Okie for me, if its Okie for you.
Ty Lawson – 27 pts, 12 ast, 4 reb. It was the night for the point guard for Denver last night as Andre Miller also had 19 pts, 7 ast, 4 reb, 3 stl. Unfortunately, no one else on Denver decided to show up and they got beat by the lowly Wizards. Do you believe in magic?
Rudy Gay – 32 pts, 7 reb, 2 ast, 2 stl. I think someone really likes the Great White North, aye! Must be the french fries and gravy!
Kyle Lowry – 15 pts, 7 ast, 2 reb, 1 stl, 4 3pm. I think someone really likes his new teammate!
Jonas Valaciunas – 3 pts, 10 reb, 2 blk in 21 minutes. His name is Jonaaaaas. And like any rookie, there are gonna be some woes. However, if you can take the bad with the good, the rebounds and blocks will be there.
Moe Harkless – 19 pts, 9 reb, 1 ast, 1 stl, 1 blk, 1 3pm in 32 minutes. Harkless the Orlando Magic Stink! Moe is the prime beneficiary of the JJ Redick trade and should see plenty of minutes now that the Magic have no players left. Moe is just 13% owned right now and averaging 17.5 pts, 7 reb, and 1 ast/stl/blk over the past week and should be picked up everywhere as he has the skills to fill up the stat sheet. With 46 minutes last night, expect the rookie to log major minutes going forward. He's your Pickup of the Week! So go pick him up!
Andrew Nicholson – 14 pts, 2 blk. Ladies and Gentlemen, your 2012-13 Orlando Magic! Sigh. Nicholson is worth a look as long as he's playing, and he will play.
E'Twaun Moore – 12 pts, 4 reb, 7 ast, 2 stl. Not quite done yet, still mining fantasy gold from the ruins of the Magic. With Jameer Nelson sidelined more often than not, Moore should see the majority of time at point (sharing time with Beno Udrih). Those in need of assists and points would be wise to keep an E'ye on E'Twaun.
Ricky Rubio – 13 pts, 5 reb, 9 ast, 5 stl. Did I tell you to buy him yet? Because you should probably own him by now.
Russell Westbrook – 37 pts, 7 reb, 9 ast, 1 stl, 1 blk, 2 3pm. It's not all about Los Kevins, you know. This one is pretty good, too.
Dirk Nowitzki – 25 pts, 7 reb, 4 ast, 2 3pm. Dirkish! Always good to see you're doing well.
Jarrett Jack – 30 pts, 10 ast, 3 reb. First player to put up that kind of line from the bench since Magic Johnson in 1996. MAGIC JOHNSON, FOLKS! That's pretty good company. Is he the sixth man of the year or do I not know Jack?
Tim Duncan – 19 pts, 12 reb, 3 ast, 4 blk. Old reliable.
David Lee – 25 pts, 22 reb. New reliable? For real, why do I not own you anywhere.
Jason Smith – 22 pts, 5 reb, 2 blk in 10 minutes. I'll be honest with you. I don't know a Jason Smith from a Jason Collins, but this dude took 15 shots Friday night and put up a monster line in just 10 minutes! To put that in perspective, Anthony Davis had 10 pts and 11 reb in 23 minutes. Maybe if Davis took 15 shots every 10 minutes his fantasy owners wouldn't hate themselves so much (update: Davis left the game with an injury but it is considered minor). Regardless, Jason Smith owners in your 20-team West Only leagues, that was for you.
Antawn Jamison – 16 pts, 6 reb. Major meh right here. He is just 30% owned, and I guess you could do a lot worse.
Kobe Bryant – 40 pts, 7 reb, 4 ast, 2 stl. The Kobester was in full Mamba-mode last night, especially in the final two minutes. Love him or hate him, Kobes sure is a joy to watch.
Dwight Howard – 19 pts, 16 reb, 2 ast, 2 blk. If the Magic knew this was all it took, they would have offered Dwight a statue months ago!
Join us next Saturday for another Friday recap, as fantasy basketball continues next week, all week long!

The Vogtland Panorama Weg is a 228 kilometre circular route through the federal states of Thuringia and Saxony which wends its way through the Ore Mountains/Vogtland Nature Park.
It starts and ends at the largest brick-built bridge in the world – the Göltzsch Viaduct near Greiz. A few facts and figures about our path: we enjoy a whopping 82 panoramic views and see 280 changes of scenery on our walk. In other words, we delight in expansive vistas and make our way through an array of natural surroundings. We see orchid-filled meadows, a dragon's lair, a windmill, many castles and palaces and we cross mighty ravines.
The Vogtland Panorama Weg traverses Klingenthal, a town known for its winter sports and music. As we are in a town famous for its accordions, a trip to the Accordion Museum is a must. We also cross through Wernesgrün, which boasts a brewery of the same name where the Wernesgrüner Pils Legende lager is brewed.
Manuel Andrack, editor, presenter, author and hiking blogger:
"The spa town of Bad Elster on the Czech border is a real gem. The extravagant Royal Spa House, for example, is very impressive. I recommend indulging in a pampering day at the Elsterado spa and swimming baths."

Oh yeah. Be seen. For real. This might look dorky (hey, it fits my personality, right?) but there's really no such thing as too much lighting or an excess of reflective and brightly-colored material after dark. I suppose there is, if you're being a real distraction, but when it gets like this, I use at least one flashing rear light to grab peoples' attention, one solid rear light to give motorists something to judge distance by (believe me, it makes a difference) and my reflective vest. The rain covers for my panniers are bright with reflective piping as well. I'm starting to see people that seem to be ignoring the fact that it's getting dark earlier. The bike ninjas are out in full force.
This is a long exposure I took of some deer grazing. In reality, this field was pretty dark and the sky was just as dark as the above photo of me. It shows up as washed-out white because of the duration of the exposure.

DETROIT (AP) - A neighborhood group is hosting a tour of a dozen vacant houses up for auction on Detroit's east side.
The tour by the East English Village Neighborhood Association will be held from 1-5 p.m. Sunday.
Details of the 12 homes there and three other houses elsewhere in the city are listed on the Detroit Land Bank website. The city wants to sell the houses to people willing to quickly fix them up.
One house per day will be auctioned off beginning May 5. It's part of the city's effort to eradicate blight while stabilizing neighborhoods.
Mayor Mike Duggan also has said that Detroit will post legal notices on empty houses and take court action if needed against owners of blighted properties in one northwest side neighborhood.

Room 3 School Tour to Glenroe Farm
What an exciting day in Room 3! Today, the Junior Infants visited Glenroe Farm in Co. Wicklow.
The boys and girls in Room 3 had a great time. We got to see lots of farm animals, we held a baby rabbit and a chicken and we visited the playground. Our helper from the farm was very kind and she told us lots of interesting facts about all of the farm animals. Our favourite animals were the pigs 'Sugar' and 'Spice'.
Family fun day at Glenroe Farm
Glenroe Farm launched its new all weather playground recently with a fun family day at the Kilcoole facility.
The day kicked off with a puppet show at midday, followed by a birds of prey display in the afternoon, followed by another puppet show. There was face painting throughout the day as well as barbecue food.
Many children made their way to Kilcoole to enjoy the animals, games and the new playground.

Avon AV71 Front AV72 Rear Cobra Cruiser Tyres
Front AV71 Rear AV72
With its unique snakeskin sidewalls, aggressive tread pattern and low noise emissions, Cobra silently defeats all roads that stand in its path.
Construction: Advanced manufacturing techniques used in Avon's successful sporty Viper range have been adapted and applied to Cobra:
WCTA - Wide Custom Tread Arc - is Avon's new tyre profile that gives Cobra a nimble characteristic once reserved only for agile race-bred bikes, all without disrupting all-important stability.
A-VBD - Advanced-Variable Density Belt - improves handling in the much wider Cobra sizes. This construction technology utilises a jointless belt of ultra-strong material. Above the carcass, these strands are wound closely together at the tyre's centre for increased stability and wear resistance. Towards the tyre's edges the fibres are then progressively spaced out to allow the tyre to take on a multi-compound effect as the tyre leans.
Tread Pattern: An aggressive tread pattern features FFG - Force Following Grooves - to follow the exact direction of forces that are transferred through the tyre. These channels in the tyre's surface significantly reduce irregular and advanced wear on bikes that carry heavy loads. Each Cobra rear tyre also features the distinctive snake's head logo on the sidewall.
Available in a wide range of sizes, incorporating fitments for Harley Davidson's V-Rod, Triumph's Rocket III, Honda's Goldwing and Valkyrie plus some sizes for custom bike applications.

Why BleacherReport.com is Trouncing ESPN.com by using Social Business Principles
By Mark Fidelman on March 8, 2011
How can a small start-up compete with a much larger sports media powerhouse? Is it the look and feel of the sites? The user experience? The quality of the articles? Not from my perspective.

Say you're the director of a small theater company in the District, and about two years ago you saw a young actor do some excellent scatting on a trumpet at a Fringe Festival show. Now you are looking to cast a male actor who can play the trumpet, but you can't for the life of you remember his name. Short of stalking actors who like jazz on Facebook, which is creepy, how are you ever going to find him?
There is now an app for that — or, more specifically, a database. TheatreWork.org is a new online database of Washington area performers who are looking for gigs. The site officially launches this week, but in the first month that it's been functional, more than 200 performers have created profiles, listing everything from their musical skills to whether or not they have visible tattoos.
"We've described it as something like an online dating site," said Jennifer Clements, communications manager for TheatreWashington, the umbrella organization that is setting up TheatreWork. "You can weed out what you don't want."
Brad Watkins, TheatreWashington's director of theater services, summarizes the need for TheatreWork this way: "If a director sees Bob, Sue and Sally at a theater across town but doesn't have their contact information, he no longer has to play six degrees of separation from Kevin Bacon in order to find them."
The Alexandria-based design and marketing firm Unconformity is creating the site, using modeling agency databases as, well, models. Which is not to say TheatreWork is the first database of its kind — two Minnesota nonprofit groups run similar Web sites, but those are open to the public and are not searchable according to specific details, such as Zip code and 23 designated performance skills, from juggling to martial arts training.
Thus far, TheatreWork is open only to performers. Barring any Affordable Care Act-type snafus, Watkins hopes to give approved theater professionals password-protected access to search the database by late spring. For performers, basic profiles will always be free, but after the first six months, they'll need to pay $29.95 a year to keep a full profile online, complete with a work sample video and multiple head shots.
"That's the price of a few trips to Starbucks," Watkins said.
Here's how it works: The performer creates a user name and password and then encounters a page with more than 50 questions and fields to fill in. It starts with the basics, such as contact information, address and whether or not the performer is a member of a union. He or she uploads a résumé and pictures. Then the site poses more than two-dozen questions about physical appearance. How do you describe your physique: Muscular? Stocky? Overweight? Are you willing to cut or dye your hair for a role? Do you have an identical twin? Better yet, are you a triplet?
Performers can select multiple age brackets but are asked to identify just one "ethnic type," which seems unfair to biracial actors or performers who may personally identify with one ethnic type — say, "Mediterranean" — but know they could play a part written for a "Middle Eastern" actor.
Forced categorization aside, TheatreWork has the potential to improve the racial diversity of casting on area stages, or at least make it easier for directors to find local performers of color. As an example, Clements cited Studio Theatre's 2010 panicked search for a young African American actor to star in "Superior Donuts," which required bringing auditioners down on a bus from New York.
"That may not have to happen next time," she said.
Yet improving racial diversity on stages was not a driving rationale behind creating TheatreWork. Talk to local drama people, and a phrase that keeps coming up is "casting local."
"This is a fabulous way to get the names and faces of local actors out there," said J. Fred Shiffman, an agent with the Capital Talent Agency. He represents about 100 professional actors from the Washington area, and he's encouraging his clients to create profiles on TheatreWork. Watkins called Shiffman early in the development process and was surprised to find the agent so enthusiastic. "I do not view this in any way as competition," Shiffman said.
Their common goal is to help find work for local actors and discourage theaters from defaulting to New York auditions. Watkins points out that hiring local actors is often cheaper, because if a union performer lives more than 50 miles from a venue, the theater company has to provide housing.
"It's that Zip code function that people are going to be searching," Watkins said.
There are no restrictions on who can sign up, however, and nothing to keep an actor who is actually based in Chicago from registering using the address of a college pal who lives in Columbia Heights.
Local college acting programs are a big potential market for TheatreWork. Not only could students potentially get plugged in sooner, they might form relationships with directors and be more inclined to stay in town after they graduate.
Michael Dove, artistic director of Forum Theatre, has turned to both the University of Maryland and Howard University to find young actors of color. But to him, as the director of a small theater with limited resources, the biggest benefit is going to be speeding up the casting process, while reaching a larger talent pool.
"To be quite honest, sometimes when I'm casting I'll use Facebook, so I friend a lot of actors, but that's not an efficient way to do it," Dove said. He described his casting director as a "very, very part-time" employee. Sometimes when theaters appear to be casting the same people, he said, it's not because there's some kind of exclusive club but because it's tough to find the time and money to do a more thorough search.
"We are acting so much on memory and a stack of head shots, even just having all the actors out there in the same place is going to be a huge improvement," Dove said. TheatreWork will lead directors to performers they "didn't know, and that can only be a good thing."

Summary and Keywords
Party movements are organizations that have attributes of both political parties and social movements. Like parties, they desire a voice in the decisions of legislative bodies. Like social movements, they challenge existing power and advocate change, often using non-institutionalized means for expressing their message. They appear in the space left open by the failure of existing political parties and social movements to adequately represent their interests and achieve their goals. They may become independent parties or work within existing parties. Party movements can be found in most political systems. Their impact is felt whenever they are able to introduce new issues onto the political agenda, force traditional political parties to take account of their grievances, or change the contours of the party system.
Keywords: protest parties, third parties, social movements, contentious politics, party movements

Mike H."I feel like a 12 year old kid with a new guitar!"
I am 66 years young and I still got it! I would have never known this if it had not been for Jamplay! I feel like a 12 year old kid with a new guitar! Ha! I cannot express enough how great you're website is! It is for beginners and advanced pickers! I am an advanced picker and thought I had lost it but thanks to you all, I found it again! Even though I only play by ear, I have been a member a whopping whole two weeks now and have already got Brent's country shuffle and country blues down and of course with embellishments. Thank you all for your wonderful program!
Greg J."With Jamplay I can fit in a random session when I have time and I can go at my own pace"
I'm a fifty eight year old newbie who owns a guitar which has been sitting untouched in a corner for about seven years now. Last weekend I got inspired to pick it up and finally learn how to play after watching an amazing Spanish guitarist on TV. So, here I am. I'm starting at the beginning with Steve Eulberg and I couldn't be happier (except for the sore fingers :) Some day I'm going to play like Steve! I'm self employed with a hectic schedule. With Jamplay I can fit in a random session when I have time and I can go at my own pace, rewinding and replaying the videos until I get it. This is a very enjoyable diversion from my work yet I still feel like I'm accomplishing something worthwhile. Thanks a lot, Greg
Bill"I believe this is the absolute best site for guitar students."
I am commenting here to tell you and everyone at JamPlay that I believe this is the absolute best site for guitar students. I truly enjoy learning to play the guitar on JamPlay.com. Yes, I said the words, ""enjoy learning."" It is by far the best deal for the money.

I ordered the yellow floormats with the Z06 logo. I wish the logo could have been placed on the side of the mat parallel with the door so the logo will not be worn so badly over time. The yellow is not even close to matching the millenium yellow of a C5 corvette. The mats seem equal to the quality of new GM mats. I had hoped for reasonably matching colors and higher quality than the original GM mats. The new Lloyds mats are bigger than the original factory mats. I am considering reinstalling the factory GM mats, but after $135 for the Lloyd mats, I might as well use them up.

CLOWNS, UNICORNS AND SHARKS, OH MY! — Sam (Jared Padalecki) is forced to confront a childhood fear when a case takes him and Dean (Jensen Ackles) to Kansas to investigate Plucky Pennywhistle's Magical Menagerie, a local pizza chain that hosts children's birthday parties. Sam and Dean discover that the victims' children had recently been to the restaurant and drawn a picture of their worst fear, which then came to life to kill their parent. While Dean confronts the man behind the magic, Sam is left to deal with some very angry clowns. Mike Rohl directed the episode written by Andrew Dabb & Daniel Loflin.

Ribes species
Fruits and Vegetables, Trees and Shrubs
Grow in rich, well-drained soil, full sun to some shade; most benefit from some sun protection in hot climates; space plants 5-6' apart. Consistent moisture important. Grow from hardwood cuttings in fall, ideally in a protected spot or cold frame. Most are self-fertile, though cross-pollination can be helpful. Zone 3-5
Ribes rubrum and Ribes sativum are the popular red, and common or white currant, respectively. Less well-known but hardier are Ribes alpinum, the alpine or mountain currant, and Ribes odoratum, or buffalo or golden currant, both hardy to zone 2
Note that Ribes nigrum, the black currant, may not be grown in parts of the U.S., as it is an alternate host for a white pine disease. It requires ample space, up to 8' in all directions

I recently attended a talk by literary agent April Eberhardt. Her talk, The New Era of Publishing: How to Choose the Best Option for You," outlined the rapidly changing publishing landscape.
Her thesis is that "the power is shifting to the author." As an example, she noted that the big six publishers (Hachette, HarperCollins, Macmillan, Penguin, Random House, Bertelsmann, and Simon & Schuster) were responsible for 80 percent of all titles in the US three years ago. Now they're responsible for 60 percent.
She quoted a few stats about the explosive growth in e-readers … but all you have to do is read the news to see abundant evidence of that for yourself.
Eberhardt had a few other principles:
- There is no one "right" way to publish.
- Authors and readers no longer need publishers to find each other
- There are a variety of business models developing now, including ebook self-publishing services like Smashwords, and smaller self-publishers like Publication Studio in Portland. Eberhardt noted the beginnings of "agent presses," a hybrid business model where publication costs and profits are shared.
- The route to publication changes – that is, it could go from traditional publishers to e-publishing. For example, Joe Konrath left his publisher to sell his self-published e-books online.
After outlining the principles, Eberhardt outlined pros and cons of the three most common paths to publication:
Traditional Publishers
- Publishers do much of the footwork, including publicity
- The status of being a published author
- The odds. Competition for agents is fierce. As former literary agent Nathan Bransford commented, "Agents get 10,000+ queries a year and take on maybe a handful of clients. Going strictly by the numbers, an agent's inbox is far more competitive than any writing contest."
- The ratio of agents to editors is also bad
- Advances are shrinking
- It can take up to two years from signing with an agent until publication
- Authors still do marketing and promotion themselves
- You may or may not make a profit, since 99% of books never earn out their advance. And in that case, you lose your opportunity to publish your next book
Small Presses
- Status,
- May pay, limited marketing
- Submitting is a lot of work, including research and following publishing guidelines
- They may not respond (or if they do, it may take ages)
- Competition is tough
- Up to two years between acquisition and publication
- You will have to self-promote
- You probably won't make a profit
- You control the rights
- It's relatively easy
- It costs about $2,000 to $3,000 to self-publish well (that estimated cost includes hiring an editor, getting your book laid out/formatted, cover design, and marketing/promotion)
- You make money as soon as you recoup costs
- The web is a good marketing tool:
- It's good if a book targets a niche
- You can experiment with various marketing approaches
- You can choose title, cover art, story – you can even publish two different versions for different markets (I would have liked to see an example here, but didn't get a chance to ask that question)
- Self-publishing still carries a stigma
- As Eberhardt says, "self-published books have to be better than traditional books."
- It's still a lot of work to find readers and make sales.
During the Q&A at the end, it was interesting to see how many people were focused on the traditional route to publishing (and the status boost). Also interesting was a comment she made about agents, which is that they sell to the big six – there's not enough money in selling to the smaller presses to make it worth their time.
What I would love to see (and haven't yet) is a gauge on how real the "stigma" is. Because two examples leap to mind where an ebook, a print-on-demand book or a self-published book could have further advantages.
- A book with niche appeal. In grad school I wrote a golf novel. While there are a lot of golfers out there, it's clearly a book that's going to appeal to golfers, but not to many non-golfers. Yet a publisher needs to gamble that they can recoup costs on a book, so if its subject matter has limited appeal (instead of broad-swath, Dan Brown appeal), you can see why a publisher would avoid the risk.
- A book that's time sensitive. Think about the "life cycle" of the book. Say it takes a six months to write and another six months to edit, and then you sign with an agent within six months of submitting it. Say the agent sells it in three months (all this is relatively fast, by the way). Then the book will go into production for at least a year. That's three years. If your subject matter is at all dependent on current events, that's a long time.
What do you think?

@ april.
Call me old fashioned, but I do not actually possess a smartphone.
The menu entry "Applications/Filesystem/Connect Your Android Phone" may be what
you seek. It points at a script /usr/sbin/mtpdevice
There is a link to the devx in the reply to pp4mnklinux on the previous page.

Hi april,
I have seen your edit to your last but one post and you seem to have created a working alternative to
the non-working Android script included by the current WoofCE. Very well done.
I will take a look at that script to see whether I can fathom out what the issue is.
Have you yet had the chance to disable the Chrome silent_launch script as I suggested
on the previous page and if so with what results?

Post subject: Brexit Pup - Released 16th October 2017
Hi april,
I have now had a look at the script /usr/sbin/mtpdevice and concentrated first on getting notify-send working.
That requires additional items installing via PPM : (These only total a few MB)
libwnck-3-0_3.14.1-2|Window Navigator Construction Kit - runtime files
libwnck-3-common_3.14.1-2|Window Navigator Construction Kit - common files
notify-osd_0.9.35+16.04.20160415|daemon that displays passive pop-up notifications
libnotify-bin_0.7.6-2svn1|sends desktop notifications to a notification daemon Utilities
So ....... notify-osd plus its deps & libnotify-bin
(I have uploaded a couple of screenshots to a new "mtp Screenshot" folder" )
Then launching from the menu item "Connect Your Android Phone", a message popped up "go-mtpfs is not installed"
That is generated by line 46 of the script which is a dependency check just prior to launching the GUI.
That plus it's deps totals 189 MB which brought me to a halt as even if I was happy to install that quantity
I could not test any further without an Android Phone.
This post therefore is a starting point for anyone who is motivated enough to press on.
It may be that simple e-mails or Google-Drive would suit some people for exchanging info between
PC & Smartphone depending on the quantity to be exchanged and whether the connection is metered or not.

Post subject: Brexit Pup - Released 16th October 2017
Hi 666philb & april,
@ 666philb,
Thanks for your post; it is good to see you back in the saddle.
Firstly we are all discussing the same thing here, 01mickos mtp_phone_connect package and in particular
the mtpdevice script called by the menu entry/desktop file.
In the case of Brexit Pup however, we are seeing totally different outcomes with that script generating
notify-send errors unless additional packages are installed as above followed by line 46 calling for
"go-mtpfs" to be installed. For you it is working.
Fully awake this morning I have a theory as to why that is the case.
Brexit uses f2fs and I speculate that it is not recognised by the mtp package which sees it and assumes that
it is some sort of mtp store which it needs the go-mtpfs stuff to make sense of.
The missing Notify-osd plus its deps & libnotify-bin do however seem to be needed for totally correct operation of the package.
@ april,
In order to test the above theory could you please download & test with 666philb's Xenialpup64 188.8.131.52 ISO : beta (issued 26/10/2017)
which contains the identical files.
If 18.104.22.168 works with your Android Phone you then have the option of sticking with that or if you wish to continue
with Brexit I will detail how to switch over to ext2 or non-journaled ext4 on the 3rd partition of the stick.

Having booted and watched this Pups performance probably 40 odd times now , I am of the opinion that it runs quite satisfactorily on lesser processors.
The problem is the browser -both of them
Someone has introduced a spyware program in there that just stalls the loading until it has finished uploading ,presumably, all of your data that they want.
Not good . I would suggest you uninstall both and use Seamonkey -Just as good and safer and smaller.

I can assure you that the slowness of both browsers (Pale Moon & Google Chrome) has nothing to do with "spyware".
Spyware by it's very nature does nothing to draw attention to itself. It just quietly harvests your data.
Both browsers are modern and all of them tend to a greater or lesser degree, to collect statistical data which is
subsequently uploaded without impacting upon performance.
Chrome is a direct download from --- https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb
Pale Moon was part of the WoofCE build.
It would appear that either your hardware or internet connection is not up to the task of running those browsers.
You will hopefully see that from the quick unlisted YouTube video which I made today.
( Once the video appears double left click it to go full-screen. )

Well now that's not how I see it .
They can summarise the data on your machine in the background but ...It has to get uploaded somehow and most upload speeds are a lot slower than downloads . So the program sits there waiting as its sending and if it can't "interupt" out then it will slow everything . That's what it looks like here.
I could be wrong ...I often am.

Post subject: Brexit Pup - Released 16th October 2017
Hi april,
I think that we are going to have to agree to differ on the "spyware" topic.
For the benefit of anyone following this thread I would stress again that Brexit IMHO, really requires a minimum of an i3 CPU or the AMD equivalent.
If using it on lesser spec kit as is @april, I have already made 2 suggestions to improve matters but since my last post have now also tested
a Brexit USB2 stick with a lower spec Samsung NC110 netbook from 2011:
10.1 in 1,024x600 display, 1.2kg, 1.5GHz Intel Atom N550 (dual core with hyper threading so appears to the OS as a quad core), 2.00GB RAM, 250GB disk.
That was obviously slower than my mid range i5 but acceptable until I hit web pages full of graphical adverts when it slowed to a crawl.
In general low spec CPUs go hand in glove with poor graphics rendering abilities.
On page 2 of new tab in Chrome there is a link to speedtest.net
That is a classic example of such a site as it downloads about 14 intensive graphic adverts which it then rotates in groups of 4 or 5.
Even on my i5 that takes a few seconds before it settles down so that you can perform a realistic broadband speed test.
It is likely that the site relies entirely on advert click revenue for it's existence.
On the Samsung in Chrome that took about 2 minutes to settle !!!!!!!!
The solution in Chrome was to install the AdBlock 3.20.0 extension just using it's default settings.
It is very easy to carry out a before and after test and other sites such as YouTube clearly benefited.

Brexit Pup Stage 2 - Released 15th January 2018
Main Changes:
Now based on 666philb's official Xenial Pup64 CE 7.5 that was released on 25th Nov 2017 but uses instead the later Linux 4.14.2 kernel.
Currently, this PUP contains 666philb's bugfixes up to and including 31/12/17 which include the Android "mtp phone connect" fix.
The "Quickpet xenial" menu item is operational for any of 666philb's future updates and bugfixes to the base Pup.
Additional wallpapers plus 3 brief test videos accessible via the red CYTS icon on wbar at the top of the screen.
That icon launches the Chrome app "Video Player" which targets the folder /mnt/home/Complete YouTube Saver
That same folder is also set as the default location for videos saved using the "Complete YouTube Saver" add-on within Pale Moon.
Additional local or accessible network locations may be added to the Chrome app "Video Player" which will then aggregate and
display the complete contents for selection to play locally. Please do NOT use the cast icon within "Video Player" as clicking it
will trash the App and as from January 2018 Google apps can no longer be updated or re-installed.
If using a Chromecast use the cast icon within Chrome itself.
More prominence given to the included Chrome vGET Cast App's ability to cast local videos to Smart TVs with a new dedicated TV icon on wbar.
The following updated Internet services are built-in - (Each can be updated over this PUP's lifetime):
a. Google Chrome Stable version 63.0.3239.132 (With parallel downloading enabled)
b. Thunderbird 52.5.2
c. Pale Moon 27.6.2
d. Flash 126.96.36.199
e. Ad Blockers are pre-installed for both Pale Moon & Chrome.
Some fixes plus more conservative timing settings are included.
Window Manager is still FbBox-5.0.
Supports UEFI PCs in CSM mode & has support for older Bioses that may not normally boot from a USB stick.
Where to obtain the image:
brexitpupstage2.img.xz (773MB) --- plus md5sum & a copy of the startup-sound script.
Having first checked that the true capacity of the stick is adequate as described in the original post of this thread,
commence by returning the stick to its "as new" state before targeting it with the image.
In Linux use GParted to do that:
1. Click on "device" then select "Create Partition Table" (MSDOS)
2. Then create a single fat32 partition spanning the whole stick accepting all other defaults.
3. Do not set any flags or change anything else.
4. Extract the xz compressed image with UExtract first making sure that you have enough free space
on a Linux volume as it will expand to 8 GB.
The UExtract pet can be found here:
5. Then use the following command in a terminal to place the extracted image on the unmounted stick:
Warnings: This may take up to 35 minutes & everything on the stick will be wiped.
dd bs=4M if=/root/Downloads/brexitpupstage2.img of=/dev/sdx status=progress && sync
Note - Important instruction: If the stick is seen by your PC as sdb1, you must target the device as of=/dev/sdb...NOT of=/dev/sdb1 In other words,
DROP the number 1 for your stick. Use only its 3 characters "sdb" as in the following example.
EXAMPLE using the above mentioned sdb1, your command should look like this:
dd bs=4M if=/root/Downloads/brexitpupstage2.img of=/dev/sdb status=progress && sync
Final Thoughts:
Please study the copy of the revised startup-sound script in the downloads folder which also contains & describes the
options for booting up directly to a live networked TV stream. OOTB it is set to boot into the CBSN live news stream on the first
reboot following completion of "First-Run" & your network setup.
Important Note: When the desktop displays just WAIT for the startup sound followed by the stream launch.
Both TV options may be commented out to suppress the automatic launch if you so wish. (LINES 27 & 29)
This Pup should in particular suit anyone who owns a Chromecast dongle or Smart TV and does not wish to run a DLNA server for their media.
Built-in SAMBA is present to serve media/multimedia files, as well, to Smart TV, tablets, phones, or PCs which have an app to access SAMBA shares.
The option to switch to another windows manager has been disabled. Should you exit/Log Out to the command prompt the correct command to restart X is:
xwin openbox-session
The intention is that Chrome is run as root with no sandboxing. That facilitates the easy update method used and avoids problems with the CUPS GUI.
Please therefore do NOT tick the "Run Internet apps as spot" box in Quick Setup / First-Run.

text: Dr. Ronald Sowa, Ghana's western regional coordinator for sexually transmitted infections (STIs), notes in a recent interview that there is a high prevalence of STIs among the region's female senior high school students. Sowa attributed the high rate to promiscuity and the use of antiseptics and herbal preparations to clean sexual organs, which can kill organisms that protect the lining of the vagina. Sowa also notes that there has been a reduction in the region's HIV cases due to education on HIV prevention. The prevalence rate for pregnant women with HIV was 1.9 percent lower than the national figure of 2.1 percent in 2011.

Esther's glossies: Find wisdom in a stupid job
In the early 1990s, when the job market was as bad as it is today, I had a college degree that was getting me nowhere. So my friend got me a job signing Esther Williams' autograph for fans.
Esther who? That's what I said. Esther Williams [was an Olympic qualifying swimmer in the 1940s, and she took her bathing-suit-clad body to MGM where she was the star of water musicals. If you've never seen a water musical, think Ginger Rogers with nose plugs. Esther was hot in her day, and believe it or not, she's still hot among nostalgic old people, young girls who like swimming, and gay men who like kitsch.
I worried that the job was illegal, but the person who hired me assured me this is a very common job in Los Angeles. After all, no one would squander life as a movie star by sitting around all day writing autographs for the millions of people who request signed photos.
At the time, I was very upset that the only job I could get wasn't even significant enough to have a title. (Question: "Uh, what do you call this kind of job?" Answer: "I don't know.") But now I realize that even though I hated the job, I learned a lot from doing it. In fact, I'd have to say that Esther Williams was my first marketing mentor, and I built my own marketing career around rules I learned from her:
Quality control is important. During my first week, Esther gave me three copies of her signature (different pens, different sizes) and told me to practice. I submitted my best shot to Esther, and she said, "Make the Es loopier."
I looped and resubmitted, and she gave me the go-ahead.
Give the customer what they want. When I started working for Esther, she was well past 60, so when someone requested an autographed picture, you just knew they weren't asking for one she took the week before. So we had a stack of copies of old MGM promotional photos: Esther as Olympic swimmer, Esther as showgirl– there was even one of Esther in a sort of kiddie porn motif. But for the die-hard fans who requested it, I also had a photo of Esther when she was about 50 years old: a head shot.
Cut costs. We had 8x10s, but I sent those only if the person enclosed postage. Otherwise, Esther instructed me to send a 5x7. Sometimes people would request an 8x10, and even if they didn't send postage, I'd send a big photo. I figured it would make a happy customer and it wouldn't break her bank– after all, she still received residual checks from Million Dollar Mermaid.
Stay out of court. One guy sent three pristine Life magazines with Esther on the cover. He wanted each of the covers signed, and he wrote a note that said, "The last time I asked for an autographed photo, I am sure it was not you who signed it. You better not let anyone mess up these magazine covers, or I'll sue you." Esther had warned me to send professional requests to her, so she signed the covers.
As soon as I found another job, I quit working for Esther. But working for Esther Williams taught me that any job can help your career if you let it.
Each person, no matter how weird, has something to teach you. And each business has a gem of genius because, hey, they're making enough money to pay you, aren't they? So don't be so upset about the crummy job market; you're about to start your own Esther Williams experience.
[This story originally appeared with a biographical error about Williams, which is corrected in this online version.]

The European Union can only offer Turkey visa liberalisation if it fulfils a number of conditions, the Czech prime minister, Bohuslav Sobotka said on Tuesday. The BBC reported that the European Commission was planning to offer visa-free travel for Turkish citizens inside the Schengen zone in exchange for Turkey taking back migrants who crossed the Aegean Sea to Greece. In a tweet Mr. Sobotka also said the Czech Republic opposed quotas and sanctions for failing to fulfil them. The Financial Times said on Tuesday that EU members would have to pay a EUR 250,000 charge for every asylum seeker that they rejected. The Czech foreign minister, Lubomír Zaorálek earlier said that he had told Johannes Hahn, the European commissioner for European neighbourhood policy and enlargement negotiations, that Prague was concerned about the Commission's plans for a new relocation mechanism for the distribution of migrants.
Only 26 percent of Czechs believe that the decisions of the European Union are in their country's interests, suggests an opinion poll conducted by the CVVM agency. The same survey last year indicated that almost a third of Czechs shared that view. CVVM said the change was due to critical perceptions of the EU's handling of the migrant crisis. Some 60 percent of respondents in the latest poll agreed that the EU defends democratic values and that EU integration is beneficial to the defence of the state and the environment.
The mining company OKD has filed for bankruptcy, a spokesperson announced after a board meeting on Tuesday. The Czech government had rejected appeals from the firm – which employs around 10,000 people – for financial support to help it close lossmaking mines and restructure its business. OKD's mines in North Moravia are set to keep running. CEO Dale Ekmark said the company lacked the funds to carry on and blamed the situation on historically low coal prices.
The traditional pub Baráčnická rychta in Prague's Malá Strana district is set for closure at the end of June, E15 reported. The old society of baráčníks (cottage owners) to which the pub belongs failed to reach agreement on extending the contract of the current operator and instead made a deal to lease it to an upmarket Italian-owned hotel located next door, the newspaper said. A hall joined to the pub is a well-known venue for social events and concerts.
Miners at the Darkov mine in North Moravia held an underground protest on Tuesday when they refused to come to the surface following their night shift. The men said they were demanding to know the plans of mine owners OKD, which is threatened with insolvency. The miners emerged after an underground meeting with an OKD executive that the company described as a "working briefing". The firm has around 10,000 workers in a region with relatively high unemployment.
The police have requested that the Chamber of Deputies lift the immunity of MP Štěpán Stupčuk so they can question him. The Czech News Agency reported that the investigation likely centred on a traffic accident in February involving the Social Democrat politician. Mr. Stupčuk confirmed to the newspaper Právo that he was facing charges of endangerment under the influence. The TV station Nova reported that the police had found him alone at the scene of an accident but that he had denied being the driver and refused to take a test for alcohol.
Health sector workers in the Czech Republic are to receive a pay rise of 10 percent from January next year. The news was announced on Tuesday by Prime Minister Bohuslav Sobotka following a meeting between representatives of the government, the regions, the Czech Medical Chamber and health workers' trade unions. Finance Minister Andrej Babiš said that an extra CZK 9 billion would be raised from employees' health insurance in 2017, while his ministry would provide another CZK 2 billion toward salaries in the sector.
Cooperation between the Czech Republic and Iran in nuclear energy is an important opportunity for Czech-Iranian bilateral relations, Foreign Minister Lubomír Zaorálek and Iranian Vice-President Ali Akbar Salehi agreed at their meeting on Monday. Mr Zaorálek told reporters that Czechs can offer expert know-how to Tehran. Mr Salehi, who visited the Nuclear Research Institute in Řež near Prague before his meeting with Mr Zaorálek, also praised the work of Czech nuclear researchers. He referred to the agreement between Iran and the United States, Russia, China, Britain, France and Germany, from last July, in which Tehran pledged to limit its nuclear activities and make them more transparent in exchange for the of lifting of U.S. and EU sanctions. As a result of the agreement, relations between the Czech Republic and Iran have become dynamic, Mr Zaorálek said.
Chomutov hockey forward Roman Červenka received three awards at a gala event on Monday evening, including best player of the regular season in the Tipsort Extraliga. Most of the awards, however, went to Liberec, who won this year's playoffs; the team's Radim Šimek clinched the award for MVP in the postseason.
Companies in the Czech Republic named after their owners more easily nurture customer trust, which translates into increased profit, a study by the analytical firm Bisnode suggests. The study examined limited private companies with majority owners and other firms. It suggests that profitability among companies named after the owner was 0.5 percent higher than those with neutral names. Eleven percent of company founders 60 or older name their firm after themselves; while those under the age of 30 who do so are just five percent. Consumers seemed more likely to trust a company where the CEO was unafraid to put his or her name up front, standing fully behind their product, the analysis suggests.

If it's January, this must be Macworld.
Well, it's not January, of course, despite the snowclone (definition at the bottom of the page) in the first sentence, but the Samuel R. Delany science fiction novella snowcloned in the title was all about time, so join me as I time-travel back to January, 2008...
The First Rule of Apple product releases is: You do not talk about Apple product releases. The Second Rule of Apple product releases is: You DO NOT talk about Apple product releases. There was a time when Apple Computer leaked like Libby, but since the Second Coming of Steve Jobs it has become as furtive as Cheney. Now, what happens in Apple Engineering stays in Apple Engineering. That is, until Steve's keynote.
Oh, Steve, you had me at "We've got some awesome stuff to tell you about." True, there are lies, damned lies, and Steve Jobs keynotes. Granted, he's not an engineer but he plays one at Macworld. But when Steve Jobs takes the stage, the anticipation is so thick you can cut it with the knife you slice the bread with that CEO Steve is currently the best thing since. Okay, whatever else he is or isn't, Jobs is the King of Keynote. And I, for one, welcome our new corporate overlord. I mean, remember how it was before Steve returned?
Will the last person to leave Apple please turn off the lights? That's the scenario Chris (Employee Number 8) Espinosa was looking at before Steve Jobs came back, he once told me. Even Steve thought Apple was toast. Mmmm, toast. And then came the iMac.
Bondi. Name's Bondi. The brightly colored all-in-one computer was a gamble, but the package and the pitch were somehow perfect. Tigers and Leopards and Panthers, oh my! The software side, specifically the operating system replacement that Apple had to implement to survive, began in false starts and abandoned paths, but before long found its way. And this year at Macworld, the OS was no longer the focus, as Apple seems to have transitioned to a longer-than-a-year OS reversioning cycle.
But Macworld always has big announcements; if not in the OS, where's the (fruitarian) beef? Well, there's that exercise in trade-offs, MacBook Air. Dude, where's my Firewire? Will someone please think of the battery replacement strategy? Oh my God, they killed Ethernet! Optical drives? We don't need no stinking optical drives! Read my lips: No second USB port. No, this is not your father's Macbook. Apple sacrificed many features to get the World's Thinnest Laptop, leading some to say...
Air is the new Cube, or: There's a thin line between thinness and cubism. Will MacBook Air go the way of the Mac Cube, which had an eye-catching form factor but was ultimately a failed product? I think not, because thin is the new fast. Thin isn't just a snazzy look, it's a feature. And Air doesn't make more compromises than other ultraportables, just different ones. Also, the fact that Air is not a replacement for any other Mac but a new box in the product grid means that expectations for Air sales need not be highalthough I may have said something like that about the Cube in 2000.
I Phone therefore I Pod. It's the software, stupid. The Multitouch gesture language introduced in iPhone is migrating to iPods, but I'm keeping my eye on that version of OS X that iPhone runs. Here's my question: Is Apple trying to discover the perfect set of features and form factor for merging the Mac and iPod platforms into a future mobile computing/communication device?
Time Capsule, movie rentals, yadda yadda. I love the smell of hype in the morning.
One more thing: If we don't buy Apple products, then the terrorists have won.
Steve has left the building.
When I hear the word snowclone, I think of some sort of frozen dessert (snowclone is a dish best served cold?), but a snowclone, according to Wikipedia, is "a multi-use, customizable, instantly recognizable, time-worn, quoted or misquoted phrase or sentence that can be used in an entirely open array of different jokey variants by lazy journalists and writers." The first official snowclone recipe was, "If Eskimos have N words for snow, surely X have M words for Y." My first title for this column was the snowclonic "Dr. Snowclone or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Clichés," but a snowclone based on Chip Delany's "Time Considered as a Helix of Semi-Precious Stones" seemed to work better, especially since Delany has himself been described snowconically as "a writer of semi-precious words." Snowclones are all more or less semi-precious wordplay.
