There's a story on ipolitics that in part echoes my own thoughts about media and responsibility. Yet the author draws different conclusions than I believe I would have, were I still in the media.
It's called "Paul Calandra and the tale of the naked senator" and it's written by Paul Adams. Worth reading regardless of whether you agree or not.
Adams writes about the quandary many reporters and editors find themselves in: trying to define the boundary between public interest and privacy. It's an issue that has raised its head many times in the past, but moreso this past year.
This debate must have raged (or at least I hope it raged) in the editorial offices of the Toronto Star in late 2013, when the paper decided to release a video of Mayor Ford – apparently intoxicated and raging – that clearly had nothing to do with Ford's political office or his abilities. And, since there was no way to identify the context of of Ford's comments, the viewer had no way to tell who he was ranting about, even if it was a real person rather than a TV show character.
The Star itself admitted:
The target of the mayor's anger in the video is not in the room and is not known to the Star.
yet it ran the video with a lengthy story to accompany it.
To me, the Star opened a Pandora's box. If the mayor has no private life outside his office when he is not in the public eye, then should that be true, too, for the Star's staff? If it is fair to show a video of a private moment (surreptitiously recorded in someone's home, not a public place), then why would it not be equally (and morally) correct to show videos of TorStar editors and reporters at their worst?
The argument is often made that elected politicians represent their office 24/7, so they have no private persona when in office, just a public face. But is that not also true of police? Of doctors? Pilots? In fact, we associate most people with their jobs and their social positions regardless of the time of day, or their location. They represent their position, their employer 24/7, even when not in the job, just like politicians. Thanks to social media, we have no clear definition of private and public lives.*
If our personal behaviour reflects on our roles and jobs no matter whether we are in our office, in private, on our Facebook page, in a restaurant or on a golf course, so it must be equally true of the media. After all, can a reporter stop being a reporter or representing the paper he/she works for when out of the office any more than a mayor stop being a mayor? I don't think so. That's one reason why the Star should have been reluctant to release the video.
But the real reason is discretion. What purpose does such sleaze serve? is there a greater good in ridiculing and embarrassing the mayor over a private matter? All it does is smear the city's reputation worldwide, make the entire city the butt of ridicule. And discredit the Star.
Adams says the parliamentary press corp has,
"A highly developed prurient interest coupled with a equally powerful culture of discretion about what should be shared with the Canadian people."
That should be refreshing, but I doubt it's a sentiment shared among all journalists, as the TorStar video release shows. In fact, I'd suggest that it wasn't discretion at all, but rather partisan politics that made the media act as it did in Adam's tale of two events.

There were many things I expected when I picked up Hatsune Miku: Project Diva f: Vocaloid songs, Miku in tons of crazy costumes, the ability to make "Call Me Maybe" into a playable level, new touch screen controls, and a major graphical overhaul—as the series takes the leap from the PSP to Vita.
What I did not expect? Nyan Cat.
...Well the song that serves as the background for everyone's favorite flying pop tart cat, if you want to be exact. "Nyanyanyanyanyanyanya!" by daniwellP in all its repetitive goodness is one of the 32 new songs in Project Diva f. Want to see what it looks like in action? Just click the video above.
Hatsune Miku: Project Diva f was released on August 30, 2012, for the PlayStation Vita in Japan. It is also scheduled for a PS3 release early next year. Stay tuned to Kotaku East for the full import preview later today.

Start as you mean to go on
Barry Greenstein was a very intelligent young boy. In primary school he already stood out because of his academic achievements and, as a result, he skipped a grade.
Barry was first introduced to playing cards at the tender age of four when his father, a gym teacher and veteran of the US army, taught him the game of poker. Jack Greenstein had been a successful poker player during his time in the army and was able to account for many poker achievements during World War II.
At the Greenstein home card games such as Gin Rummy, Hearts, Canasta and Poker were sometimes played all afternoon long and even back then it was already evident that young Barry was particularly gifted at poker.
When he was seven years old he was already beating the other kids from the neighborhood at diverse card games, and at the age of eleven he was winning against much older kids from his high school. Barry's parents encouraged him to develop his talent and become a cool and analytical player. By twelve he knew he could make a living playing poker. One year later he took part in a private poker round for the first time. As a teenager, he was winning up to $ 50 a night, whereas his friends were working for minimum wage at fast food restaurants.
Between university and Las Vegas
What impressed both his parents and teachers though was not his poker talent, but rather his quick wit when it came to numbers and figures. While Barry attended Bogan High School he displayed incredible mathematical talent and did not have any problems at all working with computers. Barry craved more intellectual stimulation and, by the age of fifteen, had created his own computer software. He received a sensational SAT score on the math component.
Yet even at this time he already spent every evening playing cards and winning nice sums of money. After graduating, Barry enrolled at the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign to study computer science. Even while working on his education at university he stuck to his routine: during the day he studied, and by night he played poker – earning thousands of dollars. With the money he won he paid back the money his father had lent him to pay his university tuition. In just three years, he earned his bachelor's degree in computer science.
After receiving his undergraduate degree, he spent the next ten years working towards his doctorate degree in mathematics. He was still playing poker on the side, earning more and more money and even travelling around the world to participate in poker games. His unusual lifestyle eventually attracted attention. More than once Barry did not show up for class for several weeks at a time and nobody knew why.
His former thesis advisor Ken Stolarsky recalls,
"He was smart but approached his work almost nonchalantly. It was almost as if he didn't really need us."
Which he clearly did not: after one of his longer absences he returned to school in a tailor-made designer suit, driving a Jaguar. When Stolarsky confronted him about all of this, Barry let him in on his secret: he had taken part in a poker tournament in London and had earned more money in three weeks than Stolarsky would earn in two years.
Only a little while later, Barry himself was giving seminars at the University of Illinois while writing his doctoral thesis. The seminar rooms were always packed with students, which soon made Barry Greenstein a legend at his university. Even Stolarsky now admits,
"I had so grossly underestimated him. While he was earning a good income at poker he was pursuing knowledge for knowledge's sake. He was the most remarkable student I've had in my 30 years of teaching."
Marriage and career at Symantec
Shortly before finishing his studies, Barry met his (now ex-) wife Donna and married her shortly after. Donna had three children from a previous marriage that Barry wanted to adopt. He was still studying at this time and earned more than enough money playing poker, so he was not pursuing a regular nine-to-five job.
Barry was advised by his attorney to get a respectable job with a steady income to get custody of the kids. So he gave up his university career shortly before finishing his dissertation and moved to Silicon Valley with his family, where he was hired as a software programmer by a start-up company, now known as Symnatec. Today, this company is famous for creating the Norton Antivirus program, as well as other internet security products. Barry was eventually able to adopt his wife's children; in 1987 and 1988 they had two more children together, Nathaniel and Melissa. From 1984 to 1991 Barry worked as a software designer. Although he had negotiated a clause in his contract allowing him to finish his PhD while he was working, Barry decided to take a different route. He simply just did not have enough time to finish his studies. So he stayed at Symantec and, together with his colleagues, worked feverishly on a software program called Q&A, software that makes computers more user-friendly.
In 1986, Q&A was voted the "product of the year" almost unanimously by industry magazines, and to this day Q&A is one of Barry Greenstein's proudest accomplishments. Besides that, the success of Q&A also made Symantec one of the top computer software companies in the world and allowed Barry to get satisfaction from his job working for a world-famous corporation. Furthermore, this experience taught Barry the maturity, discipline, and patience needed to see a long-term project through to the end; skills that still help him survive a long night out playing poker today. While living with his family in California he regularly played poker at the Cameo Club in Palo Alto, California, where he played no-limit Texas Hold'em events.
Barry Greenstein is part of Team PokerStars and spends a lot of time fulfilling the responsibilities that come with this position.
Blows of fate
In the late 1980s Barry's wife Donna was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, a severe disease that attacks the central nervous system. And as if that were not enough, their daughter Melissa was suffering from liver problems that were so serious she required a transplant.
In 1991, at the age of 36, Barry Greenstein retired, having earned enough money from the success of the Symantec software to allow him to live comfortably. Furthermore, time-management was easier when playing poker and so Barry was able to spend more time with his family taking care of his sick wife and daughter.
So in 1991, Barry started playing poker full-time. From then on he earned his livelihood playing various high stake cash-games (non- tournament poker games) in northern California. Barry was extremely successful and his bankroll quickly grew; maybe just due to the fact that, almost every day of the week, he spent about twelve hours at a time at the Cameo Club, always improving his poker game.
In 1992, Barry finally decided to take part at a World Series of Poker main event in Las Vegas for the first time. Undaunted by an opposition of 200 other participants, including poker pros such as Johnny Chan, Todd Brunson and Berry Johnston, Barry ploughed through the competition and placed 22nd, for a payday of $ 8,080.
It was at around this time that the divorce from his wife cast a dark shadow over his life: Barry and Donna had realized that their marriage was no longer working. Barry offered his wife everything they had, if only he could get full custody of their children. Although Donna was not capable of raising the children due to her illness, she still decided to fight for her right to see them and hired a lawyer. Barry ended up winning the three-year battle over the custody. During this difficult time Barry met Mimi Tran, who would be his girlfriend for a long time and who he is still close to today.
They cut an infamous deal: Barry would teach Mimi how to play poker in exchange for Vietnamese lessons. Barry hoped this would help him communicate with the many Vietnamese players he faced. Thanks to Barry's teachings, Mimi Tran is now one of the most respected female poker players in the world. Barry now is proud to have a Vietnamese vocabulary of a five-year-old. There still is an on-going debate about who the better teacher out of the two of them was: While Barry insists that it was him, Mimi says that this was only possible because of her being a better student. Considering the different results of both their efforts, she might have a point…
Barry on the road to success
The following years Barry played more and more limit Texas Hold'em events, building up his reputation as one of the best poker players in the world.
For years Barry Greenstein mainly played cash-games (real money games, where players buy in and cash- in whenever they wish) and worked to improve his game play. When he finally entered the tournament circuit, he continued to be successful. Barry Green's big breakthrough came in 2003 when he won the "Larry Flynt's $ 1,000,000 Seven- Card Stud" event at the Hustler Casino, winning $ 777,000 in prize money. In addition to that, he won the 2003 "California State Championships" and "The Fifth Annual Jack Binion World Poker Open".
At the 2004 World Poker Tour, Barry Greenstein was more than successful. He won the "WPT Jack Binion's World Poker Open" and finished fifth at the "WPT Party Poker Million 3". He also won the WPT $ 10,000 No-Limit Hold'em event and prize money worth $ 1,278,370. His 5th place finish at the 2004 WPT $7,000 Limit Hold'em Championship, earned him $ 194,763.
That same year, Barry won a Golden Bracelet at the World Series of Poker no-limit Deuce to Seven event, along with $ 296,200 in prize money. At the 2005 WSOP Barry won $ 128,505 thanks to his first place finish in $1,500 pot-limit. Barry's success at this tournament went down in poker history: Shortly before the tournament, he had heard of a 26-year-old poker player named Charlie Tuttle from Tennessee, who was suffering from cancer in the final stages. Barry was so touched, that after winning the tournament, he dedicated his victory to this young man. After he had won the last hand, he was evidently overcome by his emotions so much that he grabbed the microphone from the tournament director to tell everyone in the room Charlie Tuttle's story. Sadly, Charlie Tuttle lost the battle against cancer only a short time afterwards.
In 2006, Barry placed 13th in pot-limit Omaha and won prize money worth $ 20,492. Furthermore, he finished 12th at the HORSE event (which includes Hold'em, Omaha, Razz, Seven-Card Stud High and Seven-Card Stud Eight or Better) and won $ 205,920. He was also successful at the 2006 WPT Invitational at the Commerce Casino so that by now, Barry Greenstein is ranked among the top winners of the World Poker Tour.
Barry Greenstein has won more than $ 5,000,000 since the beginning of his career in tournament winnings.
The "Robin Hood" of Poker
Barry Greenstein is considered to be an especially charitable person with a big heart. He demonstrates his generosity by his many donations. After winning "Larry's Flynt's $ 1,000,000 Seven-Card Stud " event at the Hustler Casino, Barry donated, for the first time, almost all of his winnings to Children Incorporated – Barry has been lobbying for this charity for a fairly long time now. He had already sponsored several American children through this organization but now that he had won such large sums of money he decided that it was time to take the next step. So he donated a large part of his winnings to the organization, which provides for more than 15,000 children in 21 countries.
When asked why he specifically supports "Children Incorporated" he responds:
"It really started as a result of my bad parenting. I had spoiled my kids and I was trying to show them that other kids aren't as fortunate as they are. I wanted to sponsor a boy and a girl the same ages as my two youngest children. Most of the sponsoring charities had a religious agenda and I didn't want that. I wanted to feed and clothe the children, not save their souls. Although I know these religious people mean well, I don't like it when food or medicine are given to poor children in return for adopting the giver's religion…"
Since then he has cashed in at numerous tournaments and donated millions of dollars to countless charities, including "Children Incorporated" and "Guyana Watch", which is the preferred charity of Barry's poker pro colleague Victor Ramdin. Over the years, Barry realized he needed to make a change in order to continue being able to donate money and also ensure that he himself would stay afloat financially. He had to figure out a sustainable solution and came to this conclusion:
"I will be donating my net earnings from tournaments at the end of each year. Until now, I was donating the pay-off each time I cashed but I can't afford to continue doing that. I didn't anticipate the growth and expense of tournament poker."
Today, he donates half the money to Children Incorporated and the other half to other charities. Not only that, but he also wanted to give something back to the places that have shaped him—as a result, his old high school in Chicago and the Institute of Mathematics at the University of Illinois have also profited from his winnings. He says in an interview,
"I usually give to charities where I have personal contacts, so I can track how every dollar is spent. I have also given money to charities suggested by other poker players. I feel like I carry the flag for all poker players, who as a group are very generous people, but who aren't fortunate enough to be in the financial position that I'm in."
For this reason, Barry Greenstein is also known as the "Robin Hood" of poker. He donates his entire net tournament winnings to charities, so it is easy to wonder how he manages to pay his bills. Yet while he donates all his winnings from tournaments, he still successfully takes part in cash-games, from which he still makes a good living.
Shy and quiet at the poker table - appearances are deceiving
Watching Barry Greenstein play poker is impressive. His shy appearance at the poker table is a stark contrast to the other sociable and presumptuous players such as Phil Hellmuth. While others continuously try to control the course of the game, Barry sticks to his conservative game and patiently waits for his chance to shine. Barry has a very calm persona and always gives the impression of being insecure. Nevertheless, all this is just a façade to hide what is really a brilliant intuition for winning. With his mathematical background, it is easy for Barry to calculate the winning odds of each hand he holds. He knows how to read other players and then adjusts to their game. It almost seems as if he knows which hands all the other players are holding throughout the game—of course, this is an especially lucrative gift.
What is almost even more impressive, though, is Barry's ability to be able to recognize his own weaknesses and his ability to work on fixing them. He himself admits that he learns something new with every hand he plays.
What Barry loves most about poker is winning. It is not just about victory though, but rather the freedom he gets when he wins enough to support his family. He says,
"It's a job that's allowed me to make money and to have a lot of freedom. Whereas most people go to work nine to five and struggle, although I've played a lot of poker, probably more than I wish I had needed to, if I wanted to take time off, I'm able to take time off."
This is exactly the reason why he describes every tournament he loses as a disappointment. When he was asked what his biggest disappointment ever was, in tournament play, he answered,
"I'm disappointed whenever I don't win. It's hard to rank the disappointments, but I have had a few shots in the WSOP main event, and it always hurts to get knocked out of that."
What sets Barry apart from other poker pros is that he actually does not have a favourite poker game variation – he likes them all. He prefers playing mixed games or cash-games with as many games in the mix as possible. His best friend among poker players apart from Mimi Tran and his stepson Joe Sebok, is world-famous Phil Ivey.
"I was a little surprised when Joe decided he wanted to learn how to play poker. I sensed it in my younger son Nathaniel. Nathaniel is 18 and he's already asked me to teach him how to play, but I told him I wouldn't until he got his college degree. But then, Joe's always been competitive and involved in team sports. But up until a few years ago, he didn't show any signs of interest in poker. I believe he was 27 when I first explained to him the ranks in poker – a flush beats a straight, and so on."
Success in the "real" as well as the virtual poker world
He often takes part in online tournaments and plays under the screen names "crazyplayer" and "barryg1". Furthermore, because of his experience as a computer programmer, he also helped design and create the PokerStars website and its software.

He regularly plays the most important cash-games in California and Las Vegas, including – of course – the "Big Game" at the Bellagio. He has appeared on several televised poker tournaments and TV shows such as "High Stakes Poker", "NBC's Heads-Up Championship" and "Poker Superstars Invitational". In an interview, Barry mentioned that he does not think that internet poker will overshadow bricks and mortar games, although the internet now is a huge part of the poker world.
Together with his stepson Joe, Barry also works on several poker-related projects including a company called GreenBok Productions. The result of this venture is an entertaining, interactive internet website focusing on the topic of poker. "We call it 'pokertainment'. We don't feel like we are competing against anyone… We just wanted to add to it. We have a lot of entertaining stuff. I've got an audio blog where I talk about what's going on. Gavin (Smith) and my son Joe (Sebok) have their radio show…There's a lot of fun stuff", Barry explains.
Furthermore, Barry has already made a name for himself as an author. He was asked to write a chapter for "Super/System 2", the much anticipated sequel to Doyle Brunson 's poker bible "Super/System". What started out as a chapter, became a book. The end result, called "Ace on the River: An Advanced Poker Guide" appeared on bookshelves in 2005. This book does not talk so much about poker strategy but rather focuses on the poker lifestyle and what professional poker player have to go through. Meanwhile, copies of this book have come to be seen as a sort of trophy at the tournaments Barry also takes part in. This is because he always keeps a copy of the book under his chair when he plays at tournaments and signs a copy for the player who beats him. Apart from his autograph, he also gives a short description of the hand that he was beat with.
On his website (www.barrygreenstein.com) Barry offers his fans a platform for discussion or general questions. What is especially amusing is that Barry lists pros he has played against according to levels of Aggression, Steam Control, Best Game, and so on. Better yet, he picks a specific song for each of them. For Phil Hellmuth, for example, he explains his choice of "It's My Party" because "…Phil often acts like he is the only one who loses with the best hand, which is so well stated in the line, 'You would cry too, if it happened to you.'"
Away from the poker tables
When he is not playing poker, he likes to spend as much time as possible with his kids. He also likes to play golf and online bridge, to go out to dinner or the movies.
Today Barry calls California home. He lives with his girlfriend Alexandra (Alex) Vuong, also a poker player, in Palos Verdes where he owns an amazing property in one of the USA's most desirable locations, into which he has put a lot of love and hard work. Precisely because he does not have a lot of free time, he enjoys spending any spare time he can muster with his girlfriend and children,
"I don't give them enough time, so that's where my free time goes. It's funny, when I was first going with my girlfriend, she said she'd like to travel and see the world, and now, we just hope to be able to stay home."
Barry is also owner of a condo in Las Vegas, where he spends a large part of his time, mainly because of all the poker tournaments he participates in there.
His favorite movies are "Rain Man", "Being There" and "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest". In an interview Barry explains that he is not really a day-type person but more of a night owl, seeing as he gets up at around noon and goes to bed as late as four a.m. One of his favorite foods is steak and lobster.
In Barry's opinion the United States is the best country in the world; nevertheless, he also says he enjoys visiting other countries. His favorite city is Chicago, but he also loves travelling to New York, Paris and Tunica (where he had his biggest tournament win). When asked what poker player he respects most he answers that he, "…wouldn't want to give any of my opponents an indication that I respect their play since it could diminish the psychological edge I might have."
If he could change something in the world, it would be for there to be no more war, "…but that won't happen since adults will always justify fighting, so I do my part to help children."
Barry's fans love him
Because of his increasing popularity Barry is being recognized more and more often.
"It's amazing. I can't go anywhere without being recognized, especially by males from 17 to 25. I also get many hugs from women who thank me for helping children".
When asked what the worst part is about being recognized he replies, "I don't think there has been a bad part. Poker celebrity is the best kind of celebrity I can see—where people recognize you and are nice to you, but we don't get hassled like real 'A-Line' celebrities. For a poker player, it's great because we're now given a sense of respectability that we didn't have before. So, I haven't seen a negative side of it. It's all good."
Of course, a legend like Barry Greenstein has a huge community of fans who worship their "hero". The following quotes give a glimpse of what Barry's fans think of him:
"Barry is without a doubt the best cash-game player on HSP (along with Doyle Brunson). Every hand he plays in he never seems to make a wrong decision. He's completely tuned in the every hand. LEGEND!"
"Barry is a legend. Absolutely one of the best poker players in the world."
Because of his modest manner and humble appearance Barry is not very intimidating, yet his opponents know to beware and not underestimate this man. Barry is extremely intelligent and can assess odds like no other. He is one of the best poker players in the world and by now is actually considered a living legend. There seems to be no end to his skills. Like wine, he seems to get better and better the longer he ages. Not many poker players can seriously say that they have the sense, the mental and physical stamina, and the required funding needed to stay cool, clam and composed enough to be able to participate in high stakes poker games. One of the few who can is Barry Greenstein…
Barry is an extraordinary man; one who supports ethical principles, is modest and in no way arrogant, who is kind-hearted, generous and sympathetic; all attributes that should in no way be taken for granted in the poker scene. Most importantly, though, he is honest when it comes to his own weaknesses, and so Barry Greenstein remains one of the most remarkable and endearing personalities of the poker world.

Text in English, with Portuguese translation
I "here for me now finally" our group Lustato Tenterrara Dot Com is ending 2009 with great success and that 2010 will bring not only this confirmation, but also the realization that our work, especially after jan-2009 contributed greatly to integration have always wanted, our site Love & Poetry Messenger Love & Passion of Lustato Tenterrara with all blogs, networks, groups and virtual communities, to each other. As if they were several Musketeers to experience the famous phrase: "One for all; All for one!" Because that is how I sense our sites, networks and blogs.
Also in February I received a comment like this: "So this John Doe seems to be nonsense. For all only like you!". There were these words or grammatical accuracy smoother. Nor was addressed to me on any page of mine, although it was my name in place of John Doe. This critical realized several nuances. One was the concept of spam. I thank the commentator, so although I know, this was not your intention. The fact that it teaches is that it is also important: Even the sneers may be channeled to a firmer and more ethical.
Actually, not that John Doe wanted everything for itself. You may even want to. After all, I believe, this is the object and fight for all mankind: Winning again and again.
Good, but the truth is that we always wanted there to be a full integration between all our sites, blogs, web communities and networks. Of course I would love to chance rather than 400 members in the Brazil Network Poetry, we 500 thousand - or more.
Just as we would love our Orkut community, rather than 1500 members had one million five hundred thousand.
But this is unimportant for now. The reason for this article is crucial to reveal to you, dear reader, user friend, friend of our member networks, websites, communities and blogs, that after the struggle with learning HTML and some CSS nuances of language that I am still amazing (and I've learned Basic language, alone, in 1987, to operate a small miracle man, the mini-computer Expert, Gradiente, that well before computers XT, AT and step into PCs in Brazil). Ramblings. The truth is that today we are operating, altering, "customizing" blogs and websites and networks, without outside help. Some nuances that at first seemed insurmountable, as the implementation of horizontal menu, now seems childish. Transactions in software to deploy more columns on a blog, or deploy blogs with 1, 2, 3 or 4 columns, or with such variations on the same page, are finally due.
So this writing is to communicate to all that "before the cock crows, I" do not deny you three times. We are in full swing, up to speed on the sky of Brigadier (done in Minas Gerais) and will soon be linked, all our blogs, sites, networks and communities.
This mister an important ally now arises. I dare say that this ally will be the future of the Internet. After the advent of Google Sidewiki all sites and web pages can be interconnected by all users and Internet users. From now on everyone can comment on any webpage, even against the taste of their own owner. This is what we call web domination. The Internet now have only one Lord, Google Sidewiki.

Some things to consider as you review Taobao Agents
Communication: Agents can help solve your communication problems in three ways:
- Language: You can let a Taobao Agent know what you want in English, and they will hook you up with the right product from the right vendor.
- They can help you avoid the most common pitfalls that may prevent you from getting your order just right. Most Taobao vendors only communicate through the Taobao chat program.
- Legwork: Most vendors only communicate through the Taobao chat program. Unless you plan on installing and monitoring that, and combing through the vast amounts of Chinese-language spam messages to make sure they are not from your vendor, this is a hassle you may prefer to avoid.
Shipping: Most shops on Taobao do not get any international orders, which means that they have no experience shipping overseas. Most vendors won't want to the hassle of shipping internationally. And you may discover this after you undertake a complicated registration, order, and payment process. If the vendor does bother to ship overseas, they will use an expensive single-shipment shipping rage. Taobao Agents, on the other hand, are much savvier in the ways of international shipping. They invest in prepaid volume shipping accounts which gives them a much cheapper rate. They will make sure that you get your order at the most cost-effective rate and on a reasonable timeframe.
Payment: Most importantly, Taobao Agents accept common forms of international payment including credit cards. They charge a percentage of the cost of your order, which ends up being well worthwhile considering the services provided.
When buyers try to go it alone, we see these problems stop them in their tracks. No stuff received, money stuck, no communication. Don't let that be you!

It's that creepy time of year when it's fun to do all things "boo-tiful" to make your home
a bit more festive and give the kids in the neighborhood something new to shriek about. Whether you add an eerie glow to your porch light, set a ghoul in his favorite chair with some spidery friends hanging from a skull and crossbones, or simply scatter some bats in your belfry, your house can bewitch all who come to call.
Add to the fun of candy treats, by filling up sugar cones decorated with gum-drop eyes, or by making paper cones out of cardstock. You can create extra fun at home parties with spider cupcakes or some ghoulish carrot fingers. Here's a quick recipe for "carrot fingers" from the Food Network.
1 bag peeled baby carrots 1 cup sliced almonds Cream cheese Bottled ranch dressing
Place a bit of cream cheese on the end of a baby carrot and place an almond slice face down on top. The almond should look like a fingernail on the carrot "finger." Repeat until all carrots are finished.
Pour dressing in a bowl and stand a few carrot fingers upright in the bowl. Place the bowl on a platter and lay the remaining carrot fingers around the bowl.
The fun of Halloween is the opportunity it brings to let your imagination go wild and step outside your daily routine to try on a different face, even if it's a face only another ghoul could love. Play some games, carve some pumpkins, and harvest some good times. Whether you're doing "The Monster Mash" or simply enjoying some "Devil's Food cake," you'll have a fiendishly good time. After all, once you've conjured up all the magic, you can slip right back into being a "saint" the following day. Let your pumpkin light shine!

In this current economy it seems like many people are more curious about "All-Inclusive" options for their next vacation. This may be a for a few reasons. One, people feel like they will save money, and two, it is convenient to be able to budget with all-inclusive vacations. While all-inclusive options may be the best route for some people, we feel like that route can be extremely limiting and often times it does not allow guests to fully experience the culture which they are surrounded by.
The Bahamas are rich with cultural history, and our experience has been that all-inclusive resorts cut visitors off from that abounding Bahamian way of life. When you as a guest have paid for all of your food upfront in the Bahamas, you will be much less likely to walk over the bridge to indulge in delicious local conch salad, take a taxi to the "Fish Fry" to really experience how Bahamians eat and play, or have an amazing time visiting one of the hundreds of incredible genuinely Bahamian bars on the island.
That being said, here are some ways that our guests have effectively budgeted their trip without limiting themselves to all-inclusive resorts:
1. Bringing a Cooler and Packing Food.
- All of our units are equipped with full kitchens, and bringing food can help cut down costs. Snacks by the pool and home cooked meals in are common at Sunrise Beach Villas.
- Also, there are several grocery stores on the island. The food prices may be a bit higher than you are used to back home, so anything that can be brought and not spoil in transport is a good idea to bring yourself. Ask your cab driver to stop at the grocery store on the way to us to grab anything you could not bring yourself.
- Local fish markets are a walk from us at Sunrise Beach Villas, and grilling out on your patio is a fantastic way to experience the Bahamas.
2. Planning Adventures With Our Front Desk
- Our front desk is a wealth of knowledge for things to do in the Bahamas. We have many partnering excursion companies that we work with on the island, and using our rates can help save money.
- There are so many amazing things to do in the Bahamas: Snorkeling, Dolphin Encounters, Deep Sea Fishing, Mopeds, Catamaran Day Trips, and the list goes on…
3. Taking Advantage of Viola's Drink Specials
- Viola's Bar and Grill on our property has a drink special for every day of the week! Viola's is a very popular spot on the island in part due to our low drink prices. For those Bahamas guests that choose to stay at the big resort down the street, many end up coming down to Viola's for drinks because of the outrageous price that big resort charges for a blue drink with a pineapple slice in it.
We hope this helps you plan out your next vacation, whether that is with us in the Bahamas or somewhere else. There are ways to save money while vacationing without sacrificing your experience in the local culture!
Best wishes,
The Sunrise Beach Villas Team

Mustang MonthlyHow To Engine
How-To: Ford Battery-Apron Replacement
Here's a Quick Fix for one of the Mustang's Most Common Corrosion Areas.
Step By StepView Photo Gallery
Classic Mustangs have always been cursed with rust and corrosion problems. The most notorious are cowl-vent leaks that result in floorpan and kick-panel rust-out, and the inner-fender apron under the hood where the battery sits. Because lead acid batteries contain sulfuric acid and emit corrosive fumes, they are especially hard on sheetmetal body parts like the inner fender and battery tray. In the past, we've shown how to replace the entire inner-fender assembly. But what if you don't want to replace the inner fender? It's best to keep the serial number intact, which is stamped into the inner fender. And sometimes it's just too much trouble to pull the fender and drill out all of those spot welds.
We visited the Northwest Pony Shoppe in Snohomish, Washington, just outside Seattle, to see how they correct battery-apron woes without major surgery. This is an easy fix for anyone who knows how to weld. And, if it's too much for your talents and abilities, this job can be done by your favorite autobody shop.
We're going to show you how to patch the inner fender. It won't look like a patch, and you'll save time and money in the process. For our repair, Mustangs Plus provided a new right-front inner fender, which is made of the same heavy-gauge steel as original equipment.

My family, growing up, was huge. This is my first year away from home where I'm responsible for the festive dinner, and have no idea where to cut back. We had everything with all the trimmings, but now it's only me, my boyfriend and our infant son. I have no idea how to do the extravagant thing without things going to waste.
So, any of you with small families, what do you do? It seems it would be a shame to cook up a storm and throw almost everything away,

It all started with what I thought was a well-reasoned Facebook post:
Hm. Wearing a safety pin to identify yourself as a "safe person?" That's going to last maybe 5 minutes, and then those who enjoy picking fights will put on their own safety pins, wade into the nearest target-rich environment, and voila. Instant mayhem.
I can hear the ensuing whining already.
Did no one actually think this thing through?
One person responded to ask what I suggested for a solution, since any signal such as a safety pin could be mimicked.
I wrote a rather lengthy and thoughtful reply in which I opined that this whole "safe space" thing is a crock, because how are they going to guarantee a troll-free space? People basically need to suck it up, learn that the world does not revolve around them, and learn how to stand up and defend their beliefs with polite discourse. I also said that no one has a right to never be offended, nor does free speech mean one has a right to be listened to or agreed with.
This person came back asking what if someone were being bullied on a bus or a train because of their race or color, they NEED to know there are safe people around. I replied that true safe people who care to get involved can self-identify and step in, because nothing is going to stop phony safety-pinners who get their sick kicks out of messing with people.
Then the person basically harumphed, used foul language to lash out at "you people," and proceeded to delete their posts. I expect being un-friended will not be far behind.
Edited to add: I was right. I have been un-friended. What a shame. I have enjoyed this person's posts on non-political subjects, and I shall miss them.

Toshiba introduced a whole mess of new Regza LED LCD TVs today over in Japan, but it's the Z1 series that grabbed our attention: 37- to 55-inch, edge-lit LEDs with USB and LAN recording functionality. Gimme!
A TV that can record over LAN isn't something that we've seen before, and would be a neat little home entertainment feature. As part of today's announcement. Toshiba's also rolling out its first Regza-branded HDD (for said recording, and sold separately). The Z1 series also features video-on-demand support, 10Wx2 speakers, Regza Link, 4HDMI interfaces and an SD/SDHC slot. The pricing will range from $US2700 to $US5200 when they're released this winter in Japan. The rest of us will just have to be patient. [Toshiba (translated) via CrunchGear]

Morenci city council will meet in a special session at 5:30 p.m. Thursday to discuss two agenda items.
Council members will discuss a federal grant to replace the Main Street bridge at the east end of town, just before Weston Road. The estimated cost would result in a $15,000 payment by the city, with a grant covering 95 percent of the cost.
If the city is chosen to receive the grant, construction would be slated for 2011.
The semi-annual inspection determined no immediate need for replacement, said city administrator/clerk Renée Schroeder, but the report indicated the need for a new bridge in next few years.
In addition, council members are expected to decide on a request by SBA Communications for a lump sump lease payment for land in the industrial park where a communications tower stands.
At a special meeting, only the items listed on the agenda can be discussed.

Shouldn't People Who Favor Gun Control Favor War in Iraq?News at Home
The current debate over forcibly preventing Iraq from acquiring nuclear weapons is notable because it finds "liberals" heedlessly abandoning crucial verities of 20th Century liberalism. As a criminologist I find instructive the parallels between this debate and the debate over gun control.
Contentious as the gun control debate sometimes is, certain propositions enjoy a virtual consensus. One is that there are some people who, in an ideal world, would not possess firearms or any instrument more dangerous than a toothpick. Everyone concurs in the need to disarm the Charles Mansons, Ted Bundys, Andrew Cunanans -- and, yes, the Saddam Husseins -- of this world. It would seem that this ought to apply with infinitely greater force to the possession of atomic weapons than of mere guns.
Before pursuing that point, however, I should qualify my claim of a consensus by noting the semi-dissent of a few ideological opponents of gun control. Even these semi-dissenters seem to agree it would be a safer world if the Mansons-Hitlers-Cunanans-Saddams did not have access to weapons. But they deny government should be involved in disarming anyone. They are extreme Libertarians who object on principle that prophylactic laws go beyond the proper role of government. They deny that the state should ban guns even to violent criminals, or, for that matter, that drunken driving should be prohibited. On principle, these extreme Libertarians assert that government may go no further than imposing severe punishments on wrong-doers after the wrongs occur. In other words, people who injure or kill others with a gun, or by drunken driving, may be punished thereafter, but not precluded by laws against drunk driving or guns.
The extreme Libertarian argument is mimicked by Prof. Arthur Schlesinger's recent essay opposing forcible action against Iraq developing a nuclear arsenal. (Arthur Schlesinger, "The Immorality of Preventive War" HNN 8-26-02; reprinted from the L.A. TIMES.) That essay, which has been acclaimed by Prof. Joyce Appleby and others on HNN and elsewhere, blithely shrugs off the dangers of Saddam's possessing atomic weapons. The good professor avers that because Saddam "is not interested in suicide" he would not misuse those weapons, wherefore his having them does not represent a "clear and present danger."
Far be it from me to preach the use of historical example to the likes of Professors Schlesinger and Appleby. Yet they seem to be overlooking the contrary example in the years 1939-45 of someone Saddam closely resembles. Hitler plunged the world into a war that became literally suicidal for him -- after the deaths of over 50 million others. The only difference between the Schlesinger essay and the extreme Libertarian position is that the essay does not end with something like: "Even if I am wrong -- even if Saddam's nuclear weapons kill millions -- we can make everything right by later bringing him to a Nuremburg-type trial."
Ironically Professor Schlesinger is an emphatic proponent of banning guns to the entire populace, much less to violent felons. Yet if his argument that there is little danger in Saddam having a-bombs were valid, there would be no need for gun control of any kind. Based on the Schlesinger reasoning, we need not fear guns in the hands of even violent criminals: for such criminals "are not interested in suicide," so they would not misuse those weapons thereby occasioning their own deaths imposed by the state.
These pollyannaish prognostications are belied by the well-established fact that criminals are all too often willing to take suicidal risks. For instance, if Saddam obtains an a-bomb, he might think no one could trace it back to him if he smuggles it onto some miscellaneous tramp freighter and detonates it in New York harbor.
Such gambles are second nature to Saddam who is as reckless as a gambler as was Hitler. Consider his 1980 attack on Iran, a nation four times more populous than Iraq and much stronger militarily. But, seeing Iran in the midst of revolutionary turmoil Saddam (mis)-calculated that he could steal some of its oil-rich provinces adjoining Iraq. The mis-calculation proved a ludicrous catastrophe when Iran initially routed the Iraqi attack and went on to capture some of Iraq's own oil-rich provinces.
Iraq narrowly avoided its own destruction by precipitately acquiring vast amounts of equipment financed by borrowing hundreds of billions of dollars from Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. In contrast, because of Iran's pariah status it could not even replace existing equipment, much less add new tanks, planes, etc. Only because of this handicap did the war end in stalemate -- after 750,000 deaths. Both nations' provinces were heavily damaged. Iraq gained nothing from the eight year war and was saddled with debts far beyond its ability to pay.
Saddam's solution was another reckless gamble: invading Kuwait from which he was immediately expelled by the Gulf War with losses that exceeded 100,000 dead and vast amounts of equipment. This was irreplaceable because Iraq is virtually bankrupt. Saddam's opponent in the Gulf War, the U.S., suffered less than 300 dead and minimal equipment loss.
Professor Schlesinger's essay also flies in the face of 20th Century liberalism's
espousal of the urgent need for arms control, especially of nuclear arms. Now
I do not mean to suggest that 20th Century conservatives were unconscious of
this urgent need. But it was a matter of supreme concern to liberals (of whom
I am one). Throughout the 20th Century we pressed the case for arms control
and disarmament consistently and insistently. In the latter half of the Century
the terrible dangers posed by nuclear weaponry led some liberals to advocate
even unilateral nuclear disarmament.
20th Century liberal concerns are wholly at odds with the Schlesinger essay's indifference toward Saddam's acquisition of nuclear arms. If the danger that he may misuse those arms should be shrugged off because Saddam "is not interested in suicide," why should we ever fear nuclear proliferation? What does it matter if every nation acquires such weapons? After all, none of them are "interested in suicide," are they?
Professor Schlesinger to the contrary notwithstanding, the wisdom of 20th Century liberalism was (and is) that any nation's acquisition of such arms represents a "clear and present danger, [a] direct and immediate threat" to the entire world.
Nor will it do for Professor Schlesinger to explain that what he really meant is that the danger is not "clear and present" enough to justify forcibly disarming Saddam of nuclear weapon capacity. Implicit in the phrase "clear and present danger" is that a time can come when the danger suffices to justify drastic action. If that time is not here now, when will it come? The instant before Saddam detonates an atomic weapon in New York's harbor?
Over almost a decade, the U.S. and the U.N. have taken every step short of war to dissuade Saddam. The time for decisive action is now, before Saddam has nuclear arms.
At the suggestion of scholars whom I have run this essay by, I hasten to clarify
a couple of points:
* My argument is solely directed to the situation of Iraq, a nation run by a paranoid sociopath with expansionist ambitions and a record of mass murder, who is determined to have nuclear weapons. I am not aware of any parallel situation elsewhere in the world. But if someone shows that some other nation represents a comparably catastrophic peril to the world, I certainly would endorse the same measures against it.
* I do not endorse any notion of the U.S. running around replacing deplorable, even loathsome, governments. Not only have we neither the right nor the resources for such a role, it would be futile. The kind of government any nation has is determined by its history, institutions and heritage, and the underlying social, cultural and economic factors unique to that nation. The U.S. can produce short-term change by overthrowing a government. But we can no more impose a government of our design over the long term than a hyena can be redesigned as an eagle by shaving its fur and gluing feathers on it. (Nevertheless, one minor consideration favoring forcible action to prevent Saddam's acquisition of nuclear weapons is that any new Iraqi government is likely to be at least marginally better than his.)
* Nor am I under the illusion that America's historical record is above reproach, much less that our allies have always been so. Such considerations are often by people who solemnly claim they estop the U.S. from taking otherwise justified action. But that argument is irrelevant to the point of inanity. To see this, just apply it where it is most applicable, yet never applied by those who argue that America's checkered history estops us from taking some action against wrong-doers. They never offer such arguments as reasons why we should not have entered WWII. Somehow they cannot see the clear result of their own argument: that our checkered past morally estopped us from war with Hitler -- especially in alliance with Stalin's USSR, a regime no less evil than Hitler's, not to mention Chaing Kai-chek's corrupt and brutal regime in China.

A Palestinian man was shot and injured Tuesday morning after he allegedly injured four Israeli security officers in a car ramming attack in the northern West Bank.
The Israel Police Foreign Press Spokesman tweeted that the area had been closed around the Tappuah junction in the Nablus governorate following the "terrorist attack."
The incident comes the day after three Palestinians, all of whom were 16 years old, were shot dead following three attacks across the West Bank and Jerusalem.
In the third attack of the day, a 20 year old Israeli soldier was killed.
At least 90 Palestinians have now been killed since the beginning of October, around half of whom have been killed following alleged attacks on Israelis.
In the same period, 16 Israelis have been killed, as well as one American and an Eritraen.

Ted Baillieu's shock resignation is a morale boost for Labor in Victoria that has few implications for the federal election that Julia Gillard has called for September 14.
Tony Abbott might call Melbourne his second home, but the truth of it is that the national result will be much more influenced by what happens in western Sydney and in Queensland, where far more seats are in play, than in Victoria.
Here, the Coalition has a realistic prospect of picking up three federal seats, but it also holds two seats by very small margins.
Moreover, Victoria is the one state where Labor is ahead of the Coalition in two-party preferred terms, according to the most recent Age-Nielsen poll – and where Mr Abbott is most unpopular.
Earlier this week, Mr Abbott declared his unqualified support for the man he considers a friend. Clearly, he had no expectation of what unfolded on Wednesday night – and he was not alone. Among the many questions left hanging is what would have happened if Mr Baillieu had insisted that his chief of staff, Tony Nutt, step down over the revelations on leaked tape recordings of telephone conversations.
But there are many others. Would Mr Baillieu have been more successful if he was more ruthless, projected more urgency, hunger and passion? Undoubtedly.
That wasn't his style, and he never tried to be what he wasn't. To his detractors, his failure to communicate was a fatal flaw. Certainly, the love of Victoria and pride in its multicultural success that was so evident last night was not widely appreciated. Nor was his decency, but then, as one Liberal friend remarked: "Decency doesn't pay dividends."
Whether the impression of a man without a clear direction would have been rectified if he had served a full term as premier is, sadly, something we will never know.

I have had some computers that did not appear to save the Network config info, when in reality it does. But for whatever reason it doesn't connect back up at reboot. The way I solve this in Puppy 3 & 4 series is to find the config file for the wifi card or etho and copy it on to the /etc/rclocal file.
#Libretto100ct ADDS............
/etc/network-wizard/wireless/profiles/"my wifi card Mac address"
You just need to find where that specific file is for the wireless or ethernet card is. In another words it would have to be set for each computer. I've yet to find a universal fix, though I keep trying anyway.

Hi Libretto....I think this is what I will have to do, opy the eth0mode file to the end of etc/rc.d/rc.local. In fact, I think it might be even better to have ecopup try to connect automatically via dhcp on eth0 anyway, since this is the configuration with approx 4 out of five of our clients. I know other distros do this and it has been suggested for puppy also.
Some clients use wireless laptops (increasingly so) so I would have to set these up manually.
Increasingly Ive had to install puppy 4.1.2. for people, just because this gets them online with various problems of wireless/screen compatibility and such like. I would really like to try and upgrade ecopup's "core" to puppy (or even puppy 4.2CE when it comes out). Ive had a few attempts at doing the automatic upgrade (after renaming the eco_save.2fs pup_save.2fs) but it tends to go horribly wrong.

I tried visiting your website today and received "Site Attack" warnings. Any idea what's going on there? I visited your website hoping to get a better idea of what Eco$ystems is all about.
I have a e-cycling company in the States and am utilizing puppy to achieve a similary mission. I'm using Muppy 084 as a base and have customized it from there with: FF3, OO3, Compiz, etc. I had a similar idea as you and added an educational suite; however, I used KDE's Edutainment Suite instead of GCompris (after reducing KDE to about 100MB). In total, it's about the same size as Ecopup and is running on P3-500+. Still working out some bugs though...
I'm downloading your pup now and am anxious to see it. I haven't published my pup yet, but I'd be open to sharing if you're interested in comparing notes.

A new useability bug.... powerpoint .ppt files are not opening with openoffice. Will add to the list of updates.
Flash is still causing problems, there are basically three versions of flash 9 as far as I can tell. One will do full screen, one will work better on older computers, some skip frames, another works well but crashes firefox frequently. There are other problems as sites like facebook will only accept the latest flash (9.0.114 I think). Flash has always been a royal PITA due to its closed source, resource hungry nature. Im thinking of attempting to write some sort of script that will allow ecopup to switch between the different versions with a click of a button, but I need to do some more testing and evaluation of all three versions (and maybe even beta10).
Hi anowjeff, I would definetely be interested in comparing notes. Have you tested your pup and researched it on real newbs? Having real-life access to any computer programs eventual users is critical to its success. Its also a painful fact that end-users are used to the limitations of Windows, and when they "buy" ino a new operating system they want it to be as much like their expectations as possible (the teletubby wallpaper works wonders here).
Yes, sorry about the website, our servage account got hacked (as did puppy linux's own servage site, I cant find the link in the search though). Ive cleaned the site up again but google still blacklists it. Im a bit stuck actually as to how to fix it. I did have interviews planned for linux.com and other publications, but theyve shunned me while our website is still in this state.

Subject description: Attack site?
When I try to go to this web site: http://www.ecomoney.co.uk/ I get a page warning that it has been reported as an Attack Site.
Using Firefox 3.0.5 with NoScript and Adblock Plus and Downloadhelper and Foxmarks addons installed. Have not seen this warning before.
Is this a joke or what?

No Im afraid not...our webhosts servage got their security compromised and some links to virus websites added to invisible tags on our front webpage. Google picked it up and blacklisted our site. We do have someone looking at it for us, and Ive gone through the site and removed the links, so the site is safe to browse.....even on a windows machine.
Servage are moving us to a new server so hopefully this wont happen again...I believe it happened to a few of puppy linux's main websites too.
Sorry for any inconvenience

my account also was compromized, despite the write protection I estabished in the control panel (everything set to "555" recursively).
The index.htm on the main folder and a subfolder got compromized daily.
I finally found a new ftp user I had not created myself.
After deleting him and changing most ftp passwords, the problem disappeared.
Concerning google/firefox, you must create an account at google.
It gives you the option, to recheck your site by google, by using something called "websitetools" or similar, I don't exactly remember the name.
To confirm, that it is your site, you must upload a small certification file to your site, then you can request to rescan your site using thoose tools.
If no more suspicious links are found, your site is removed from googles blacklist, and firefox will no longer warn that it is potentially insecure.

That would be "Webmaster tools"
I use it along with about half of the other stuff they have. I will work very well in getting your site back to go. I had checked your site with it this morning and was going to PM you but am glad to see that Mark has mentioned it to you. According to Google's tools you will just need to make a few adjustments and have them check the site again.
I just started to download the alpha. I will upload it to my servers tonight.
The link will be
It should be about midnight central time US +- 30min.
I hope this will be of some help. Let me know if there are any problems with this link. (In the morning)
This is a download not a mirror. Please check the hash code.

Greets noprimenumbers/MU
MU thank you very much for that walkthrough, Im going to do all the things you suggest to get my site un-blacklisted today. Its been a thorn in our side for quite some time now,
npn, I appreciate the extra mirror. Weve been getting about 700gb per week in download since we put the alpha up, which is far to near our 5tb per month allowance for comfort. Caneri has thankfully provided us with an extra mirror which takes the strain off a bit. Last time we release ecopup it downed our servers for weeks, which also took down some of the small charity and community group websites we host as well. May I ask, where is the server based? I can then put it on our list of download locations. Would you like a link to any of your sites?

Hay there ecomoney
The server is in the US.
When I learn how to set it up as a true mirror it would be better.
For any who don't know how the download can be manually mirrored by using a down-loader and adding all links as mirrors.
I use free download manager for MS
If you have an ad and a news release I would love to add them to my site.
Your welcome

Talking about recycling, About 2 years back The Canadian Government bought an extra 1200 pc's, they were loaded with the regular software plus Government software, But it was an actual screwup, They ordered 1200 too many, well do you think they formated the hard drives, yessss and sold them? Ummmmmm no they went to a land fill in Ottawa and were crushed. Due to the fact that they had Government software installed. I personally think if they had to crush something, then remove the hard drives,crush them and sell the pc's with new hard drives.

Hi economy
puplet echopup 0.7.3.2 alpha
I downloaded this from Puppy's download sight, Jan 23, 2009 I did a MD5 on it and it was good. I did three different burns of the .sio One was on a DVD and got the same results. I sent a more detailed email to ttuuxxx as I have run his puplets for some time now. I am not a programmer I'm more in the Newbe category. This is a very interesting project. If I can get this running I'll test it for a while for you as I run several puplets under VirtualBox. In any case keep up the good work. I did try to log onto your URL but as you said I get a warning form firefox about that URL. Okay well there may be a problem with the .iso boot code. You may need some one to verify this situation.
This is a grand project you have here and I'll keep an eye on it in any case and thanks in advanced for what I have learned from it so far.
I unzipped the echo_save.2fs to a USB flash drive and added the other two .sfs files they suggested for a faster boot up. I then rebooted, everything was going fine until it got to the part where it found the echo_save.2fs it said done then the problems started. I got the following message in red:
ERROR, cannot find puppy on "idecd" boot media.
Pupmode =1 PDEVI = Exited to initiarramdisk
(/dev/ram0) commandline
(the Linux-guru can now debug, "e3" editor is avalilable)
/bin/sh: can't acess tty;
job control turned off

Hi there DonShi, thank you very much for testing ecopup, Im very much a "newb" when it comes to linux internals (Im more of a linux external expert). Ive come across the error you described before, and its usually when the pup_215.sfs file is corrupted. I will check the download again, Ive noticed a few errors myself but what with cheap CD's and unreliable second hand cd burners Ive not been able to properly verify them. There is a way to test for this though.
The only real changes I have made to ecopup are all in the eco_save.2fs file, provided you have this you have ecopup.
The changes Iv made to the other files are quite simple. Ive changed the pup_215.sfs and initrd.gz file to display a short boot up message. In the initrd file I have also changed the name of the file puppy searches for a bootup from pup_save.2fs to eco_save.2fs (I did it by unzipping it, doing a crude text search-n-replace, and zipping it back up!).
Therefore all you need to do is replace the files from the iso with the standard ones from puppy 2.15ce Viz, which you can still download from
Try just replacing the pup_215.sfs file first (all you will lose is the startup message). If that doesnt work that means one of the other files is corrupt. Try swapping the initrd.gz, remembering to rename the eco_save.2fs file back to pup_save.2fs.
A few times Ive been cought with badly burned disks at customers houses. Ive uploaded the files which come on the ecopup cd to

Okay thanks ecomoney
I'll set up a folder and try the changes you suggested. I'll get back to you on my results. It may be a week or so perhaps I can get to it this weekend. Knowing me I'll squeeze some time out of my working week too. Hobbies are just like that.
I use these pulets in my business and you have something here that looks like could be quite helpful to some of my other marketing executives. Keep up the good work and I'll put echopup on my hobby list of things to do.
Puppylinux and the puplets have become a hobby of mine. You developers and remaster enthuses are doing grand work. Thanks to all of you.

MD5 Good But Files Corupt
Hi again.
I had some of the same problems with the MD5 Checksum being good but still having trouble with corrupted files. I found that when I ran a test of my memory that it contained errors. I use Ultimate Boot CD for doing test. If you run the Memtest86 it may not find errors with some boards so also try the windows test or try them all if you want. I did.
If your memory is faulty it can cause these problems.
Hope this helps.
BTW I am now testing Ecopup myself and will be giving a system to our local Sheltered Workshop for the employees to play with.
Hope your getting your site running better.

Fortunately, all of those issues have now rectified themselves and the gentle ease that is more characteristic of our daily goings on is returning. Which is fine by me. The glass of chilled wine beside me as I type this is definitely adding to the calm. Which is also fine by me.
While we unload from that mountain of stress, on a brighter note, here's a smattering of this's and that's that caught my attention this week:
*Constellation in a jar!
*You scream, I scream, we all scream for ice cream.
*Speaking of ice cream, KC made peach lavender gelato with leftovers from my recipe.
*My friend Nicole went to northern California and her visit was a gorgeous one!
*From scratch pita.
*10 easy ways to beat weeds naturally.
*Yee haw! LA bans plastic bags!
*This book looks made for me (and Huxley).
*Sophie does it again (the photography is sensational, plus, she's always impossibly lovely!).
*Marisa's book is out (look for a small measure giveaway soon!!!), and it's a good one.
*Issue #2 of Taproot is almost here and the preview looks incredible.
My little sister, Theo, rolls into town for over a week visit tomorrow. I can't wait to see her! I always love it when my sisters come to visit. Plus, Hubs turns 45 next Friday, and our 5th anniversary is Saturday, so we're thinking of taking our 1st ever date night since becoming parents Friday night. Theo is a super experienced babysitter, plus, well, she's my sister and Huxley's aunt. Win-win!
We've been invited to a South African food feast at the home of our veternarian and good friend, Heather Sinclair, tomorrow evening. Sunday will find us in Montreat, playing in the park and celebrating the 3rd birthday of Milo, the son of our close friends Faryn and Eli. Should be a good weekend, more than redeeming the screwy bit proceeding it!
Wherever you go this weekend, whatever you do, and whomever you do it with, may it be grand!

Students who transferred to St. Bonaventure University from two- and four-year institutions have become extraordinary. By building on the foundations from their first universities, these students have gone on to find success in their academic and professional careers.
Here's a look at several extraordinary transfer students:
Kayla looks forward to holding a position teaching young children. Her passion to positively impact young lives and help them reach their full potentials inspires her decision to obtain her master's degree in the next few years.
Transition to SBU: "All of my credits transferred and I graduated after two years with a recommendation for certification in childhood, early childhood, and special education."
Why SBU? "I knew from the beginning that St. Bonaventure would provide the best educational opportunities on my journey to professionalism."
Grace intends to pursue a career in the field of biology. Her professional aspirations follow her commitment to the family she hopes to establish with her new husband.
Transition to SBU: "The transition was easy and my transfer counselor was very helpful. I felt that fitting in was no problem. The student body and faculty are very friendly and seemed eager to get to know me."
Why SBU? "St. Bonaventure was the right choice for me because it gave me the chance to explore not only my love for the sciences and growth in professionalism, but also my faith as a Catholic. I am ready to face the world, with God at my side and a Bona degree in hand!"

Everyone forget about inflation?
The news that the Dow broke its 2007 record high had folks celebrating, but before they pop the bottle of Dom, they might consider inflation's role in reaching the milestone.
Which is to say that because of inflation, we didn't actually reach it.
The Motley Fool provides a rather large asterisk to Tuesday's announcement, noting that by closing bell we were still under by 8%. Sure, real numbers were a record, but the adjusted numbers were not, and since adjusted numbers provide the measure of purchasing power, those are the ones to watch.
Folks at the Fool take aim at financial journalists for their accuracy (or lack thereof) in their reporting.
"Financial journalists typically report growth and returns on a nominal basis (i.e., before inflation is accounted for), except where someone does the work for them, such as when the Bureau of Economic Analysis releases GDP growth figures, which are reported on a real, inflation-adjusted basis," columnist Alex Dumortier writes. "This is a grave disservice to investors and consumers! Inflation has a very real, and definite, cost."
Adjusted for inflation, the Dow actually closed at 13,042.51.
"For the Dow to achieve a new inflation-adjusted high today would have required a closing price of roughly 15,480," he notes. "Inflation is a reality in the world we live in; you need to invest as such. Make sure you're looking at the right numbers."
Which isn't to say we won't eventually get there. The Dow surged even higher to 14,297 in Wednesday afternoon trading.
