This is charged until the vehicle is 6 years old.
Ten Second Review
This Peugeot Traveller might be fundamentally based on the marque's medium-sized Expert van but it's undeniably sophisticated as well as being light, airy, and seriously spacious, with room for up to 9 people. If anything, its commercial vehicle roots serve as a strength, the voluminous interior, tough build and uncomplicated design proving ideal for family buyers who'll happily shoulder the slight ride and refinement issues.
It's the age-old problem if you've a very large family and want an MPV. Even large examples of the People Carrying breed can't take much luggage if you fill all seven seats up with occupants. Which leaves you having to struggle with a roof box or fitting a trailer, neither of which you'll regularly want to be bothered by. The answer is a super-large MPV - one of those based on medium-sized vans. Typical entrants in this segment include Ford's Tourneo Custom and Hyundai's i800 or, if you've a little more to spend, Volkswagen's Caravelle or Mercedes' V-Class. The vehicle we look at here, Peugeot's Traveller, is the most recent entrant in this class, based on a design also shared with the Citroen Space Tourer and the Toyota Hiace Verso. The Traveller is based on the latest generation version of the French brand's Expert van, just as its predecessor was, that vehicle badged rather awkwardly as the 'Expert Tepee'. That was just an Expert LCV with seats, windows and a few extra niceties. Peugeot though, is telling us that this 9-seater Traveller model is more than that. Is it? Let's find out.
Driving Experience
Engine choice in a Traveller model is pretty straightforward, provided you've a clear idea of the kind of work you want it to do. Sensibly, all the Euro6 units on offer are diesels and if your needs are mainly based around lighter people carrying duties and short distance urban work, then the entry-level 95bhp 1.6-litre BlueHDi unit may well be quite sufficient: this engine's also offered with 115bhp. For heavier payloads and longer journeys however, you'll be needing the 2.0-litre BlueHDi model which gives you a lot more pulling power and is available with 150 or 180bhp, the most powerful unit mated to the brand's efficient EAT6 auto transmission. A key factor behind the success of this vehicle's Expert Tepee predecessor was the way it remained compact and wieldy in the manner of smaller, more car-like MPVs from the class below. This model should retain much of that same usability around town and will certainly ride much better thanks to more sophisticated suspension and a stiff EMP2 platform. Special wishbone filtering is provided to dampen the impacts from our country's terrible tarmac and the variable stiffness springs and shock absorbers should deliver decent levels of comfort whether the vehicle is loaded or unloaded. Peugeot also claims that refinement is much improved this time round. As before, there's the option of a Grip Control traction system. We also like the 'Driving time warning system' which flashes up a dash warning after two hours of uninterrupted driving at speeds of 40mph and above.
Design and Build
This Traveller certainly looks much more of a car-like thing than its Expert Tepee predecessor with its sharply angled windscreen and smart frontal treatment. Under the skin, this MPV utilises the acclaimed 'Efficient Modular Platform 2' (EMP2) as the basis to combine its relatively compact exterior dimensions with maximum roominess. Inside, this model can offer up to 9 spacious seats with 1,500 litres of boot space - or up to 4,900-litres of luggage space if you take out the removable seats. Available in three defined lengths, ranging from 4.60m to 5.30m, the Traveller's height of 1.90m is low enough to guarantee entry into covered car parks - a relatively rare attribute in this segment. The 'M' and 'XL' length versions of 4.95m and 5.30m will be the variants chosen by most buyers, but even the shortest 4.60m-long 'XS' version can comfortably accommodate up to 9 people in all seats. There's also a top 'Business Plus VIP variant which provides its rear-seat passengers with a 'four face-to-face' seat configuration, each occupant treated to their own individual leather armchair. There's also a multi-function roof with tri-zone climate control and soft air diffusion, plus mood lighting for even greater luxury. Across the range, most models get hands-free electric sliding side doors which can be activated with a wave of the foot.
Market and Model
Think in terms of a £30,000-£35,000 price point for plusher versions of this Peugeot Traveller, once you've chosen the spec to your liking and you shouldn't be far out. The basics of specification are worth repeating here, so there's a choice of three vehicle lengths - 4.60m 'S', 4.95m 'M' and 5.30m 'XL' - all of which can be configured as 5-to 9-seaters. Inside, all models get a 7" infotainment touch-screen. This setup's voice recognition provides additional security for using the Navigation, Telephone and Media features without taking eyes off the road. Traveller buyers can also specify sophisticated connected 3D navigation as part of a package that includes TomTom Traffic real-time traffic information and, via Peugeot's 'Connect2' media package, access to information like the location and prices of service stations and car parks, weather forecasts and local search of points of interest. The Peugeot Connect Nav system also integrates a MirrorScreen function so that you can use functions from you smartphone on the centre dash 7-inch screen. Latest generation electronic driving assistance devices include a 'driving time warning system', 'Driver Attention Alert', a 'Road sign reading with speed limit recommendation system' and an 'Active Safety Brake' set-up. You could also add 'Blind Spot Monitoring' and a 'VisioPark surround view camera system - both useful on a vehicle of this size.
Cost of Ownership
The Traveller's Euro6 engines have been chosen with operating costs rather than performance in mind and this will suit businesses as well as families with a firm grip on their finances. Combined fuel economy is pegged at 51.3mpg on the combined cycle, along with 144g/km of CO2 for the 95bhp 1.6-litre BlueHDi diesel model, figures you can improve to 54.3mpg and 135g/km if you go for the same variant fitted with an ETG6 auto gearbox. We'd want a little more power and would opt for this engine in 115bhp guise, in which form you're looking at 55.3mpg and 133g/km. Go for the 2.0-litre BlueHDi 150bhp derivative and the figures are 53.2mpg and 139g/km, while even the top 2.0 BlueHDi 180bhp EAT6 auto gearbox variant returns 48.7mpg and 151g/km.

Hey I sent you a trade request. Let me know!
Let me know what you wanna do.
for a player/player trade...a quality player.
He's available, but I want a first for him. Although since you have a high first, I'm willing to do your second and a 3rd for him.
How much does he cost?
No, he is not. Mingo was a disappointment as was Kruger - making Sheard even more important.
Interested in hali...
At all, most likely. I'll let you know though if I change my mind.
No thanks to Blackmon.
Bit late there already have a lucrative offer. Just waiting on verification from council.

Barbasol Urges Men to Quit Fooling Around on Twitter
Not quite as funny as it could be, this new campaign for Barbasol urges men to stop fooling around with silly things like Twitter, juice cleanses, hashtags and LOLing.
The work, created by GSD&M, carries the tagline, "Shave Like A Man" and aims to restore manliness in America. Wait, wasn't that Old Spice's schtick?
Anyway, the campaign will include three spots, two of which can be viewed below.

All you need is a grill. Almost any grill will work. We've cooked great barbecue on cheap propane grills and small portable charcoal kettle grills. An experienced pit master can get great results with nothing more than four bricks, the shelf out of an oven, and a bag of charcoal. Better equipment makes life easier, of course.
Learn Your Grill's Sweet Spot
Whether your grill is $150 or $1,500, your first step is to find its "sweet spot." Buy the cheapest generic store brand biscuits, the kind found in a roll in the refrigerator case. Preheat your grill to its lowest setting (225°F to 300°F). After it is preheated, lay the biscuits out equidistant from one another all over the cooking grate. Close the lid and check every 15 minutes. You will be able to see which biscuits are nicely browned, which are burning, and which are not yet cooked. This test will clue you to the cool and hot spots of the grill.
Meat Thermometer: A "Must Have" Tool
A meat thermometer tells you two things: the internal temperature of the meat and how tender the meat is, based on how easily the probe goes into the meat. In this day and age digital thermometers are far better than the old dial thermometer. Regardless of type, a regular check of calibration is the best route to food safety. A cup full of ice chips and water at 32°F/0°C is a better test than boiling water, where the temperature changes with altitude.
Our Favorite Thermometers
The low-end thermometer will keep your charcoal cooker on temperature. The mid-priced model will control your charcoal cooker's temperature, monitor the meat temperature and drop into a hold mode when the desired meat temperature is reached. The deluxe model not only monitors what's going on in the grill, but controls the temperature with a separate fan (shown in the photo below, right) so you don't have to be present to tend to the cooker.
Prices subject to change.

The same folks whose multimillion dollar brought you solid evidence that the low fat diet does not reduce heart disease have just analyzed their data and found that eating a low fat diet has no impact on preventing diabetes.
Here's the study as reported by Archives of Internal Medicine:
The Women's Health Initiative Study lasted 12 years and involved 48,835 postmenopausal women aged 50 to 79 years. Women were randomly assigned to a usual-diet comparison group (n = 29 294 [60.0%]) or an intervention group with a 20% low-fat dietary pattern with increased vegetables, fruits, and grains.
Here is the finding: "Weight loss occurred in the intervention group, with a difference between intervention and comparison groups of 1.9 kg [4 lbs] after 7.5 years (P < .001). Subgroup analysis suggested that greater decreases in percentage of energy from total fat reduced diabetes risk (P for trend = .04), which was not statistically significant after adjusting for weight loss." [emphasis mine]
What this means is that whatever tiny difference they found in the incidence of diabetes between the low fat diet group and the group eating a high carb, high fat "eat what you want" diet disappeared when they adjusted their data to take into account weight loss.
People who lost a bit of weight over this period had less diabetes, no matter how they lost the weight.
In fact, we know now that low carb diets produce more sustainable weight loss than do low fat diets. That has been shown in quite a few studies, the most recent of which is the Israeli study that found that a barely-low carb diet (one that was 40% carbohydrate, or 200 grams a day for a person eating 2000 calories a day) produced more weight loss than the low fat diet.
That study is reported here: http://content.nejm.org/cgi/content/full/359/3/229
So if weight loss alone heads off diabetes, the low carb diet would be a much better choice. Of course, the low carb diet (particularly one that is truly low carb, which is not really the case with this Israeli study) prevents diabetes not only by causing weight loss, but by lowering blood sugar to normal levels in people who are pre-diabetic, and by doing this, it prevents the glucose toxicity: the poisoning of beta cells by high post-meal blood sugars, which pushes pre- into actual diabetes.
Sadly, though, the hugely funded WHI study was designed by people who were so certain they would see huge gains from the low fat diet that they did not include an arm that examined other diet strategies. The WHI only compared the low fat/high carb diet with the high fat/high carb diet.
It is worth noting that the Israeli study did not find a significant impact on the development of diabetes in the group of mostly men they studied who were eating a Kosher 40% carb diet. This does not surprise me because these men were eating 200 grams of carbohydrate for each 2000 calories they consumed.
That works out to almost 60 grams per meal--equivalent to a bagel per meal--which would be enough to raise blood sugar damagingly high after every meal for anyone who had any impairment in blood sugar metabolism.
In fact, how this diet could be considered a "low carb" diet escapes me. I would not consider a diet to be low carb unless the carb intake was at most 20% of all calories, or 100 grams a day in a 2000 calorie a day diet, which feedback from a lot of people with diabetes who control their blood sugar using carbohydrate restriction suggests is close to the upward limit of carbs most people can eat and maintain control.
But still, you'd think that the fact that the WHI data show that the low fat diet had no impact on either heart disease or diabetes when compared to the "all crap all the time" typical diet would be the last nail in the coffin of the argument that people with diabetes should cut fat rather than carbs from their diet.
Sadly, it isn't. The American Heart Association and the American Diabetes Association and are funded almost entirely by the drug and device companies and medical groups who earn huge profits only as long people continue to have the diseases these organizations are supposed to be fighting. So as soon as they were published, the AHA denounced the findings of the Israeli study--as tepid as they were, despite the clear cut proof that study gave that the cardiovascular risk profile of people eating a barely low carb diet improved over 2 years compared to those eating the low fat diet.
The ADA is almost certain to ignore the WHI data and say that "more study needs to be done" though the fact is that this was the single largest study of nutrition and health ever funded.
In fact, you can already see how this latest WHI finding was either a) ignored or b) spun by the mainstream media who report it. I've seen at least one report (based on the same abstract you saw at the head of this post) that touted the statistically insignificant difference between the low fat and non-low fat groups as implying that the low fat diet prevented diabetes, when the words "statistically insignificant" mean that in fact the difference in diabetes incidence between the two groups is meaningless.

The seeds of the radar controversy were sown January 6, when the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2006 was enacted. The legislation instructed the Department of Defense (DOD) to assess whether wind turbines would interfere with nearby military radar installations and submit a report within 120 days. On March 21, the DOD and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) issued an interim policy saying they would contest any wind installations in the "line of site" of their radars until the study is complete. The FAA defines line of sight as any turbine within a 60 mile radius of a radar centre or radar tower, placing much of the nation within the prohibited zone.
As a result, the FAA's Midwest regional office issued "Notices of Presumed Hazard" to wind projects across five states, effectively stopping work on a reported 950 MW in Illinois, 570 MW in Wisconsin and approximately 200 MW each in Minnesota, North Dakota and South Dakota.
Since the notices were issued, however, the industry and Department of Energy officials have had some success in getting projects back on track, says the American Wind Energy Association's Laurie Jodziewicz. Once the FAA became aware of the impact of the delays, she says it agreed to move forward with project reviews and approvals without waiting for the DOD study to be finished.
Case by Case
"Some of these projects were very close to construction. They are being installed in the Upper Midwest so they need to get started with the actual construction before the cold weather starts and then they are looking at the deadline of the production tax credit at the end of next year," she says. "I think the FAA became more aware of some of those issues and then really committed to actually looking at it on a case-by-case basis, regardless of this Department of Defense study."
Jodziewicz says she knows of at least six stalled projects that have been cleared by FAA and are moving forward. Another ten continue to be held up by radar concerns, although she expects that number to drop as the FAA completes its reviews. Several community wind projects were also affected, but Jodziewicz does not have information on the status of those.
All of the stalled projects are in five Midwest states. "It is a little unclear why that is the case because we did hear of projects being approved by the FAA in other parts of the country. Some of it might have to do with the topography. They are fairly flat areas and both the wind turbines and the radars tend to be on the higher areas in those places," says Jodziewicz.
The industry is now awaiting release of the DOD study. "One of the aspects of that study is that it is classified, so we aren't getting a lot of information about the study itself," says Jodziewicz. "The legislative language said is was to be complete in 120 days, although there weren't any consequences in the legislation if they didn't get it done. It is a complex issue to be looking at in 120 days. By that measure it should have been out in May, but we don't know exactly when it will be out."
In addition to looking at the impact of turbines on radar, the legislation instructed the DOD to examine possible mitigation measures. But even then, the study is just a first step. "The next question is what happens after the report is done. They aren't issuing guidelines or anything. It is just a report on the issues," says Jodziewicz.
One of the things the industry is pressing for is a process whereby developers can work with the military to deal with radar concerns. "There is no single point of contact right now, and I think they are also thinking about that too. How do we make it so everybody gets a chance to review projects before they get too far along so there aren't any surprises."

Dr. Peter Ester, who is the Netherland-America Foundation (NAF) Visiting Research Professor at the Van Raalte Institute of Hope College, will deliver the address "Growing up Dutch-American: Recollections of Cultural Identity by Older Dutch-Americans" on Tuesday, Aug. 28, at 4 p.m. in the Fried/Hemenway Auditorium of the Martha Miller Center for Global Communication.
The public is invited. Admission is free.
Ester is a professor of sociology at Tilburg University in the Netherlands. He has directed a number of research institutes in the Netherlands: GLOBUS (Institute for Globalization and Sustainable Development), IVA (Institute for Social Research), and OSA (Institute for Labour Studies). He is currently director of OSA.
He received a M.A. from UtrechtUniversity in 1976 and a Ph.D. from ErasmusUniversity, Rotterdam, in 1984. He has published widely, including the following recent books in English: "Culture and Sustainability" (2003), "Comparing Cultures" (2004), and "Globalization, Value Change, and Generations" (2006).
Ester is the second NAF Visiting Research Professor at the Van Raalte Institute, where he has been since June. His research included interviews with 20 older Dutch-Americans living in Holland, Michigan, regarding their memories of how their identities as Dutch descendants were shaped during the period in which they grew up. They were asked about typical Dutch customs, manners, and habits they learned, typical Dutch phrases they were taught, memories of the "old" country that were conveyed, participation in Dutch-American civil and church associations, and so on.
Ester believes that sociologists and historians should treasure the oldest living generation of Dutch Americans as they hold first-hand information and experiences that are unique. In his research he strived to preserve this history and to analyze and interpret its uniqueness.
The Van Raalte Institute, located in the Theil Research Center at 9 E. 10th St., specializes in scholarly research and writing on immigration and the contributions of the Dutch and their descendants in the United States. The institute is also dedicated to the study of the history of all the people who have comprised the community of Holland throughout its history.
The Martha Miller Center for Global Communication is located at 257 Columbia Ave., at the corner of Columbia and 10th Street.

This is one of the Williams Foods facilities in the area. If you've spent any time in the
sodium seasoning aisle of a grocery store, you've probably seen their pouches of chili and taco mixes, among other stuff. Occasionally, whatever they're messing with inside this building causes the surrounding air to smell exactly like the spice and cereal cupboard at my grandparents' old house, before grandpa died. It's an odd, pleasant and completely nondescript aroma, so complex that my schnoz couldn't begin to dissect it to its individual components. It doesn't smell this way all the time. A lot of times, it just smells like chili powder or fresh ground black pepper.
I also encountered a veritable roadside hardware store. Every 10th of a mile or so, I saw a couple of large, unused zip ties. This particular one also had a trailer hitch retainer pin next to it. A lot of times, when I see things in the road that would be hazardous to other cyclists, I pick them up and dispose of them, or if they're too large, I move them out of the way. I snagged a few of these from the roadside for my own personal use. Never know when you'll need some huge zip ties.
I also had a quick chat with some of the regular amateur radio operators, who were going on about the heat and the price of gas. They said I need to get my head examined. I believe one has to be a bit eccentric to ride a bike in the first place, so there's probably a grain of truth in there somewhere.

Williams foods is always a weird little aside from dodging the railroad tracks on Santa Fe Trail Drive.
i definitely know what you mean about the weird spice cabinet smell, though.
What time is your commute? I don't ride every day, but I haven't seen you.

With my wife's medical issues, I don't ride every day, either. I probably pass Williams foods around 7:50 in the morning, and somewhere between 5:30 and 6:00 PM depending on how crazy my day is.

As husbands and fathers, we always put our family's wants and needs ahead of our own, and often in times that means we forego building our dream Lowrider so that our family is taken care of. Pete Rios, of Arleta, California did just that; he waited until his children were grown and he retired from the City of Los Angeles to build his 1938 Buick Century.
Pete found the car in neighboring Van Nuys, California. It was everything Pete was looking for in a project car—it was primered, had all the parts, and he was able to drive it home. That said, the Buick still needed a lot of work, but a retired Pete, now had the time on his hands and the patience to restore it to his liking.
The first order of business in restoring the '38 was to get the body in shape for paint. Pete contacted Dino, at Dino's Auto Body in Pacoima, California, to do the work. Dino prepped the Buick and sprayed the deep black paint onto the body panels. The Buick was then taken to North Hollywood Auto Upholstery, where Pedro used tan material to cover the Buick's seats, door panels, headliner, and carpet. The next task was to get the Buick's ride level closer to the ground. Rick Bentley, from Santa Clarita, California, installed a custom air bag set up to give Pete a proper ride and a killer low stance when parked at shows. Mechanically, the Straight Eight in the engine bay was sound, so Pete chromed some pieces and had other pieces engraved by David Renteria to add some accents. Jesse Glez, of Astro Metal Polishing in North Hollywood, California, took care of all of the chroming.
During the five-year build time, Pete acquired some of the most sought after Buick accessories like the Traffic Finder, pipe holder, passing light, and compass, just to name a few. Also during the past half-decade, Pete has acquired a room full of trophies from the car shows he has attended all over Southern California.
We spotted the Buick at the California Car and Cycle Show in Ventura, California, and approached Pete about featuring his Buick in the magazine. Thankfully, he agreed! As we all know, these cars don't get built without the proper support of family and friends. Pete would like to thank his wife, Margaret, and his son, Pete, along with two great friends, Angel Tristan and Larry Reynoso, who passed away before the car was complete. We would like to thank Pete for the opportunity to feature his rolling work of art.

Nine years ago
"Come on, Ella," Corrine said, grabbing her mitten-covered hand. "If you walk much slower, we're going to be the last to arrive."
"That wouldn't be a bad thing," Ella murmured, though she clasped Corinne's hand and obediently followed her friend down the rocky incline toward Loyal Weaver's house. "Maybe we don't even need to go?"
Corrine looked at her like she'd just sprouted two heads. "Of course we do! Loyal invited everyone over for his birthday. It would be rude not to show up."
Ella pushed the center of her glasses back up on the bridge of her nose and picked up her pace. "Do you really think he meant everyone?" she asked uncertainly. "Maybe he didn't really mean that."
After all, through all their years together in school, Loyal had never gone out of his way to be her friend. "Of course he did." Corrine squeezed her hand. "Come on, Ella, don't be so worried. It will be fun. You need to relax and smile more."
The Weavers' house was now in view, its white twostory frame looking tall and majestic on the hill in front of them. Scattered across the snowy front lawn were dozens of kids. It looked like Corrine had been exactly right. No one from their school had decided to miss the party.
But that was how it was with Loyal Weaver, she mused. He was the most handsome boy in her grade—maybe even in their school. But what was even more special than his looks was his attitude. Loyal was perpetually happy and chatty. He befriended everyone. It was rare to see him ever standing by himself.
Unlike her.
That had to be what happened when you were an only child, Ella mused. Her parents were naturally reticent and quiet. She was, too. But added to that was the feeling that she was never going to completely fit in like everyone else did. She wasn't super slim. She had glasses. And she had plain-old brown hair and brown eyes. In short, she was the complete opposite of smiling, golden-haired, blue-eyed Loyal Weaver.
Perhaps that was why she seemed to be the only person in their schoolhouse who didn't jump at the opportunity to visit him. They had nothing to say to each other.
"Oh, there's Paul! And Mattie! And Peter, too." Dropping Ella's hand, Corrine quickened her pace. "Do you think Peter will want to talk to me today?"
"I'm sure he will." Corrine was pretty and sweet and had her own share of admirers. Ella smiled. "I bet he'll walk up to you first thing."
"Maybe." Raising her voice, she called out, "Hi, everyone. Sorry we're late. Have we missed much?"
Mattie ran up to meet them, followed by Peter and Loyal and four others.
"All you've missed is Mrs. Weaver passing out hot cider and cookies."
"Oh, I'm sorry about that," Corrine smiled at Loyal. "Your mamm is a wonderful-gut cook."
"There's plenty of treats inside, Corrine," Loyal said. "Go on inside and help yourself." He grinned. "But first, I'm afraid you're gonna have to get by Peter. He's been standing here like an oak, waiting for you to appear."
The other kids laughed. Beside her Corrine blushed, then was wrapped up in the circle of the group, everyone walking in unison to the house.
Ella slowed. Not a person had acknowledged her. Or said hello. Or was even waiting on her. As usual, it was like she'd never even existed.
Suddenly, she knew she couldn't do it. She couldn't walk into the Weaver's home and sip cider and pretend everyone there wasn't ignoring her. She didn't want to stand off to the side, smiling awkwardly, hoping no one would notice how she didn't have her own group of friends.
But most of all, she didn't want to look at Loyal Weaver and chance that he'd see her watching him. Thinking how cute he was, how lucky the girl he chose to court would be. Even after all this time, it didn't even seem like he knew she existed.
She stopped, half waited for someone to call her name. Then, realized she was standing there by herself. Forgotten again.
There was only one thing to do. Ella Hostetler turned around and walked away.
No matter how hard she tried, Ella Hostetler found it almost impossible to look away from the white canvas tent that covered the majority of her front yard.
She swallowed. Oh, it wasn't even her yard anymore. It, along with the house, barn, and most of the possessions inside, belonged to other people.
Now she had practically nothing.
"Ella, please don't stand and stare any longer. Watching you makes my heart break," Corrine said, her voice turning more troubled by the second. "Ach, but I knew I should have made you come over to my house today."
Corrine was a good friend. Her best friend in the world, next to Dorothy. But even good friends couldn't make difficult things go away. "I had to be here," Ella said. "Someone had to stay in case anyone bidding had a question." She tried to smile. "And it's not like there was anyone else to take my place."
Pure dismay entered Corrine's eyes. "Oh, but you've had such a time of it. First your father passed away, then you had to nurse your mother before she passed on, too— all while taking care of the house. All by yourself."
"I am an only child, Corrine."
"I know. But sometimes, I just feel so bad for you, having to sell everything."
Privately, Ella felt bad for herself, too. But hearing the doom and gloom in her girlfriend's voice pushed her to try to sound positive. "It will be a relief to not have so much to take care of," Ella said, almost believing it to be true. "And the money earned today will guarantee my future."
"Oh, Ella. You sound like you will never marry. You will."
"Maybe. Or maybe not. Perhaps I'll just be like Dorothy. She seems to be doing fine on her own."
Something flickered in her best friend's eyes. Was it distaste? Or distrust? "You are not like Dorothy. I've never met a crustier woman."
"She's not so bad."
"She's difficult and bitter. I wish you could have found a different person to move next to."
"The other half of her duplex was empty. Plus, she's excited for me to live there. We're going to work together at the library, you know."
"I know." Corrine pursed her lips. "I just can't help but feel that you're about to lock yourself away from everyone all over again, Ella. You should be making plans to see more people. To laugh a little. Not work and live next to Dorothy Zook."
A burst of the auctioneer's gavel sang through the air, preventing Ella from responding.
Casting another worried look her way, Corrine looped her arm through Ella's and pulled. "Come on. Let's go sit down."
Though Ella let herself be led away from the crowd, she couldn't help but look over her shoulder. She could feel the knot in her throat expanding, making it almost too hard to continue talking. "I . . . had no idea I had so many things."
"We all have more than we need, jah?"
Ella flinched. Corrine's words were true . . . to a point. She'd known auctioning off her family's farm would be difficult. But this was so much more than that.
First her land and the buildings on it had been bought. And now so many others were picking and choosing through what remained of her parents' lives . . . putting a value on items that to her mother had been priceless.
Her feet slowed as she again couldn't resist looking over her shoulder. Against her will, tears sprang to her eyes as she watched the auctioneer point to her mother's pie safe.
Corrine paused, too. Bit her lip as he called out a price. "Ella, what is important are the memories. That is what everyone says."

New York Times national columnist Dan Barry, '80, one of St. Bonaventure University's most honored journalists, has added another award to put on his bookshelf.
Barry's most recent book, "Bottom of the 33rd: Hope, Redemption, and Baseball's Longest Game," was honored this month with the PEN/ESPN Award for Literary Sports Writing, awarded for a nonfiction book on the subject of sports published in 2011. The award included a $5,000 prize.
The book is about the longest game in professional baseball history, played mostly on April 18-19, 1981, between the Pawtucket Red Sox and Rochester Red Wings of the International League. The final and 33rd inning was played June 23, 1981, after the game was ordered stopped in the 32ndinning at 4:07 a.m. on April 19.
Barry looks deep into the game, into the collective pasts and futures of the shivering fans; their wives at home; the umpires; the batboys approaching manhood; the ejected manager, peering through a hole in the backstop; the sportswriters and broadcasters; and the players themselves—two destined for the Hall of Fame (Cal Ripken and Wade Boggs), the few to play only briefly in the big leagues, and the many stuck in minor-league purgatory, duty bound and loyal forever to the game.
Said the L.A. Times: "Dan Barry's 'Bottom of the 33rd' is a fascinating, beautifully told story of a ballgame and those in its sphere of influence."
For more than 50 years, PEN American Center has honored some of the most outstanding voices in literature with its literary awards program. PEN American Center is the U.S. branch of the world's oldest international literary and human rights organization.
Throughout its 91-year history, PEN American Center has remained a writer-centered organization. Today, PEN American Center is comprised of 3,400 professional members who represent the most distinguished writers, translators and editors in the United States.
Barry has written two other books: "Pull Me Up," a memoir of his Long Island Irish upbringing and battle with cancer, published in 2004; and "City Lights: Stories About New York," a collection of Barry's "About New York" columns, published in 2007.
Barry's column, "This Land," takes readers beneath news stories and into obscure and well-known corners of the United States. The column expands Barry's storytelling scope to the nation from New York City, where he wrote the "About New York" column for three years.
In 1994, Barry and four other members of an investigative team for the Providence Journal-Bulletin won a Pulitzer for a series of articles about corruption in that state's court system. Barry has also been a Pulitzer finalist twice.
Barry joined The Times in 1995. He lives in Maplewood, N.J., with his wife, Mary Trinity, and two daughters, Nora and Grace.
About the University: Inspired for more than 150 years by the Catholic Franciscan values of individual dignity, community inclusiveness, and service, St. Bonaventure University cultivates graduates who are confident and creative communicators, collaborative leaders and team members, and innovative problem solvers who are respectful of themselves, others, and the diverse world around them

Market organisers on Monday projected data through the end of the market's final day on Nov 7 and said the number of acquisitions executives rose from 1,523 in 2011 to 1,616.
There were 35 more buying companies in Santa Monica compared to last year, representing a 5% increase. AFM top brass reported there were 753 buying companies from more than 60 countries this year compared to 718 in 2011, adding that attendance by Latin American executives climbed 17%, followed by a 14% surge in Asian buyers.
Buyers who spoke to Screendaily during the market noted that asking prices were particularly high for China and Latin America.
The number of executives, producers, talent and other guest reached 3,069, while overall attendance peaked at 7,749. Overall 442 films will have screened at the market and of the 650-plus screenings, 327 were market premieres.
Attendees reported a quiet market due to high prices and a perceived lack of must-have titles. Packed distributor pipelines created less of a sense of urgency among buyers and Storm Sandy delayed the arrival of East Coast-based attendees such as The Weinstein Company until in some cases a day or two into proceedings.

Encrypted pup_save for Puppy 212
I've updated the pup_save encryption for 212. Included in the package below is a modified initrd.gz which will prompt you for a password if your pup_save file has "crypt" in the name and a script to create an encrypted pup_save file.
The initrd.gz is about 40k bigger and has the following additions:
losetup (compiled with dietlibc to replace the busybox version)
The init script has these changes:
261 CRYPT=$( echo $PUPSAVE | grep crypt )
262 if [ "$CRYPT" != "" ] ; then
263 CRYPTO="-e aes"
264 zcat /lib/modules/${KERNVER}/aes.ko.gz | insmod -
265 zcat /lib/modules/${KERNVER}/cryptoloop.ko.gz | insmod -
266 else
268 fi
589 if [ "$CRYPTO" != "" ] ; then
590 echo -e "\\033[1;31m" >/dev/console
591 echo "Loading encrypted pup_save_crypt" >/dev/console
592 echo "" >/dev/console
593 while true; do
594 echo "Password: " >/dev/console
595 losetup $CRYPTO /dev/loop1 $SMNTPT$SAVEFILE
596 mount -t ext3 -o noatime,rw /dev/loop1 $EFSMNT
597 if [ "$?" = "0" ] ; then
598 break
599 else
600 losetup -d /dev/loop1
601 echo "Can't mount file, Try password again." >/dev/console
602 fi
603 done
604 else
611 fi
The pup-save-encryption script is a simplified and improved version of the one I had posted before. I did away with the option to choose a partition for the new pup_save_crypt file because the pup_save files need to be on one partition anyway. Added an option to re-enter your password. Fixed a bug in naming the pup_save_crypt file. Clarified some of the verbage.

Cool. I finally got around to trying an encrypted pupfile, and it works great. I don't know if the "copy your old file" part worked, because I'm not sure if I chose it or not.
Otherwise, no problems yet.
Assuming nothing pops up before I get around to it, I'll be including this in Pizzapup A.T.E.

kirk, I'm glad you figured out what needed to be changed in the boot script for 212; I certainly had no idea.
However I guess you missed that I responded to your earlier request:
If this is going to be included in Puppy I would like see somebody rewrite the encrypt-pupsave script. What I wrote works, but it's not pretty and my scripting skills aren't great.
I rewrote the script and posted it at the end of the thread about the encrypted pupsave for 211. It's a shame we duplicated this effort, although it didn't hurt for me to polish my script writing skills. Perhaps the two can be combined somehow.

PaulBx1, A couple days ago I saw the script you posted. Thanks, it was a help. Especially for figuring out the maximum number of characters for the password. I thought it would probably be best to simplify things so that new users would find it less confusing.
Thanks again guys!

keyboard not working at password prompt
hello, and thanks for the scripting
im stuck at the password prompt with no keyboard, mineis usb and works at the boot prompt prior to the password prompt and also further on in puppy if i remove the encrypted save file...
perhaps the usb modules need loading as part of your script ??
im running 2.11 and the scripts you released for that version.

The part I added to the init script comes after the part that let's you choose which pupsave file to use, so the keyboard should be working by then. Did you have more than one pupsave file to choose from? If not you could just make a blank file in the same place as your pupsave file and name it pup-save-test.3fs (that - should be an under score, don't have that on my keyboard right now) reboot and see if you can choose which pupsave file to use. Also, when you type your password, your typing is not visible so it might seem like the keyboard is not working. But pressing enter should give some indication. I'm out of town right now using a blackberry, so, I can't check out the script now. If you still have problems let me know and I'll do some checking when I get back.

ok, i made the blank file as you suggested and got the menu prompt, but as is with the password prompt i was all locked up...
that is, keyboard not responding, "num lock" stuck on, and have to hard reset to go anywhere...
pc is a Dell dimension 1100 with usb keyboard.
but at the menu prior, for boot parameters, the keyboard works fine.
ps- do you get on well with your blackberry ? i have a zaurus sl-5500
-> oh and i also just upgraded to 2.12, with no difference to this.

The part of the init script that handles multiple pupsave files is in the normal init script without encryption. Try it again with the normal initrd.gz and see if you can choose which pupsave file to use. If you can't, post that in the Bugs section so that Barry might get a look at it. I'll take a look at it in a few days too. Thanks for trying it out!
I get the blackberry from my employer, so it's hard to complain about it and I haven,t tried anything else like it. Guess it works pretty well.

Happypuppy, I have no idea what's wrong.
I compared the original init with the modified one using Gtkdiff to make sure I did'nt accidentally change something. Just the changes I listed on the first post. Those changes come after the part in the init script that ask you which pup_save file to use. Sorry, I wish I could tell you what's up. Might try downloading it again (bad download?) The md5sum of the initrd.gz is:
97d9ceae292a0ada13deff257c7a3e33 initrd.gz
That's just the initrd, not the whole download.
I'll see if I can borrow a USB keyboard from someone. And work on it more.
EDIT: Are you using a frugal install and replacing the initrd.gz with this one or are you re-making the iso?

the md5 checks out... perhaps its to do with how i'm running it...
im runnning off an Apacer 1Gb which i ran syslinux on, then copied the puppy iso contents to root.
renamed isolinux.cfg to syslinux.cfg,
changed one parameter inside:
that's it but , may be enough, so perhaps ill try installing from within puppy...

well ive spent the day mucking around and found out some interesting things...
i burned the live-cd.iso's of dsl and puppy, then installed dsl to my usb from within dsl, this made dsl boot fine overcoming the lockup problem from before.
then i tried installing puppy from within puppy but no good, i formatted and repartitioned the drive to start fresh, then ran the installer... it could copy the files on their but not boot, similiar problem reported elsewhere on the forum...
so then i read that people had luck installing and booting puppy if installed to a usb drive after dsl had been installed, so i did this and found it worked both with and without the dsl files.
the added surprise/bonus from this was that the loading time of vmlinux and initrd.gz? at the startup was greatly reduced ! instead of waiting upto 30 seconds for the two files two load, they were streaming along and finishing in around 5-7 seconds !!
only let down was that i now wouldnt get and multiple save file choose menu option... just wouldn't appear, and also wouldn't see any encrypted save files there either if they were... i found out this was due to the relatively small set of commands in the syslinux.cfg file created by the puppy installer compared with the one in the iso (isolinux.cfg)...
so i formatted again (FAT), this time with HP utility which i think helped after having done so much to my drive it needed it...
and then copied the puppy iso contents to the root, renamed and edited syslinux.cfg and ran syslinux on the drive, this then booted fine and gave me the multi-save menu when relevant , but it was locked up, couldnt choose it !! and this was with the standard initrd.gz .... beats me, havent tested you encrypt initrd.gz this time around as figure it'll lock as well if the other is too...
but i noticed another thing which may have some thing to do with it all... when booting with no save files , when it goes through the step where its loading and looking for save file's (and where it would come in with the menu for choosing multiple save files or encrypted password) the num-lock light is locked on, and wont budge...
i think ill leave it at that until i can get on a different computer...

well i just found out the loading time is related to syslinux version...
i have been using the win32 .exe from version 2.11 , and i noticed the dsl cd mentions 2.04 apon startup, so i dlded and tried that but im not sure if it installed properly over 2.11 so no change... but i also downlaoded the latest 3.31, and installed that, and now i get fast as load times, just like when i was running off the dsl install

Staff reviewers for the U.S. Food and Drug Administration said that a potential increased risk of cancer with drugs containing calcitonin salmon appears plausible.
In briefing documents released on Friday, the reviewers said the risk raises concerns about the overall risk versus benefit of calcitonin products to treat osteoporosis in postmenopausal women.
Calcitonin products include Novartis AG's Miacalcin injection and nasal spray and Unigene Laboratories Inc's nasal spray. Privately held Upsher Smith Laboratories Inc. distributes Unigene's product in the United States. Generic calcitonin products are also available.
Calcitonin salmon is a man-made version of the hormone calcitonin that is found in salmon.
The reviewers said significant questions remain about calcitonin salmon's effectiveness in reducing fractures in the treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis.
An advisory panel to the FDA is scheduled to discuss the products on March 5 and will make a recommendation to the agency on whether to allow the continued marketing of these products for that use.
Last July European regulators recommended that long-term use of calcitonin be curtailed after a review found evidence of a small increased risk of cancer with long-term use of the drugs.
They recommended that they should only be authorized for short-term use in Paget's disease, a bone disorder; for acute bone loss due to sudden immobilization; and for excess calcium in the blood caused by cancer. They ruled that the benefits of calcitonin-containing medicines did not outweigh their risks in the treatment of osteoporosis and that they should no longer be used for this condition.
Unigene officials declined to comment on the FDA staff review as they do not distribute a calcitonin product in the United States. Upsher Smith officials were not immediately available for comment. Novartis said in a statement that it "places the highest priority on patient safety and the appropriate use of its medicines and is looking forward to the opportunity to engage in the discussion at the upcoming meeting."

NEW YORK — While Kevin Durant takes a step back, the U.S. national team is moving forward.
Durant stunned the Americans when he decided to withdraw after practicing with the team during its first week of training camp. Now that they've had time to get over the surprise, they aren't dwelling on it.
"I'm through talking about Kevin," U.S. coach Mike Krzyzewski said Tuesday after the Americans practiced for the upcoming Basketball World Cup.
"We're done with that. We're on to this group. What a coach does, a coach coaches who he has, not who he doesn't have. You're married, you're with that woman, you're not thinking about who you dated."
Durant pulled out Aug. 7, shortly after the Americans finished working out in Las Vegas, where a year earlier he announced his plans to play for the team this summer.
But the NBA's MVP and leading scorer instead decided he needed a break more than he needed to chase another gold medal.
"I think for myself, I just needed to take a step back," Durant said.
So he wasn't in East Rutherford, New Jersey, where the Americans practiced at the Nets' training center. He did catch up with a few teammates though, joining James Harden, Stephen Curry and Anthony Davis on a panel promoting the video game "NBA 2K15," of which Durant appears on the cover.
Durant said his decision to pull out was "definitely tough," adding that playing alongside Curry in the 2010 world championship was "one of the best experiences of my life."
He was the MVP of that tournament, averaging 22.8 points as the Americans won the event for the first time since 1994. He was their leading scorer again two years ago in the London Olympics, scoring 19.5 points per game.
But the Americans insist they will move on without him.
"We've got to play," Davis said after practice. "We can't sit around and mope because he dropped out."
Davis is one of the reasons the Americans believe they can win without Durant. He was the dominant player in their victory over Brazil on Saturday in Chicago in their exhibition opener. They play Wednesday against the Dominican Republic at Madison Square Garden.
Derrick Rose is expected to play after sitting out the last two practices to rest as he returns from missing most of the last two seasons following knee surgeries.
Davis and Rose are both former overall No. 1 draft picks, part of a deep U.S. roster pool that remains in Durant's absence. Both also have previous international experience, Rose starting for the Americans in Turkey four years ago and Davis a member of the last Olympic team.
As good as Durant is, the Americans don't fear going to Spain without him.
"If you're competitive and you have a job to do and you have a goal, and that is to win another gold medal," USA Basketball managing director Jerry Colangelo said, "you take the hits, you take the lumps, take somebody else and let's go."
