Lupufy 005 for Slacko 5.3.3 - One-Click XineDVD and Openbox
Subject description: Favorite Utilites from Lupu 5.2.8 for Slacko and Other Puppies
This was designed for early versions of Slacko (5.3 as a matter of fact). You should not use it for later versions. You can look at the list of utilities and search them out one by one to add to Slacko. Some are in the slacko PPM such as openbox.
There are 3 Lupufy Slacko pets here. One installs some favorite utilities from Lupu into Slacko (see the list). Another installs XineDVD into Slacko. And the third installs Openbox. As simple as 1 - 2 - 3.
These are some
utilities that people have said they liked
from Lucid 5.2.8. They are listed individually with their thread so that they could be installed individually as preferred. At the bottom there is a pet that contains all of them to install at one time. The whole pet is only 1.1MB. Most are written by members of the Puppy community. Some were made for Lucid so they don't have links (or I haven't found them yet).
Version 005 is for Slacko 5.3.3 and version 004 is for previous versions of Slacko.

1a. Utilities for Slacko 5.3.3
. Slacko 5.3.3 includes PupControl, so that is removed from this version of Lupufy Slacko >
1b. Utilities.
This 1.1MB pet will install all of the programs listed above ->
2. XineDVD
is the default DVD player in Lucid 5.2.8. It doesn't have any problem with DVD menus as gnome-mplayer does sometimes. This pet is configured as XineDVD is in Lucid with the nice Antares skin and set as the default DVD player. It also contains the latest xinelib 1.1.20 (compiled in Slacko) so it will play most videos (and audios). ->
3. Openbox
is configured as in Lucid, but with the Deep Thought theme from Three-Headed Dog which goes nicely with the Slacko wallpaper. Use Menu -> Desktop -> WM Switcher after install to select Openbox. Install this after installing the lupufy-slacko utilities (or run PupClockset). ->
To set Roxterm as default console:
right-click desktop icon console and choose Edit item. Enter '/usr/bin/roxterm' in the top line and click OK. To use Roxterm icon, right-click console and choose File 'console' -> Set icon and drag in /usr/share/pixmaps/roxterm.xpm
To set PupControl as default setup:
right-click desktop icon setup and choose Edit item. Enter '/usr/local/PupControl/PupControl' in the top line and click OK. To use PupControl icon, right-click setup and choose File 'setup' -> Set icon and drag in /usr/local/PupControl/icons/control-panel.png
Using lupufy-slako on other Puppies
. The utilities should work on most other puppies also, but possibly all programs might not work. XineDVD is iffy since xinelib was compiled in Slacko--it might work. The same with Openbox. I am not sure what WMSwitcher will do on other Puppies than Lucid and Slacko. It might be safer not to run it but to use Menu - Shutdown -> Exit to prompt -> xwin openbox to select openbox--or to use openbox from the puppies own repo. (Thanks go to DaveS I believe for the original Openbox for Slacko.)

Hi playdayz,
***Better treat this all-in-one as an experiment until you know if you want to keep it. Or install the ones individually that you want. It might take a couple of tries to get this all-in-one ready for prime-time. It appears that right-click might not uninstall properly..****
I installed your all-in-one pet in Slacko 5.3 main and all seemed well. I uninstalled using Puppy Package Manager > Uninstall > left-click.
No Blank Screen by trio was already installed before being re-installed with all-in-one. It is great that it remained installed after the all-in-one uninstall,
My questions are:
Would you be so kind as to explain the "right-click" uninstall method (I have never read of or seen that)?
Then, the thought my being able to merge many pets of my choosing is appealing. So perhaps, in due course, you might publish your technique?
My regards

Hey Jasper, That is what I am trying to figure out right now.
I will write up about combing pets later today or tomorrow.

Hi playdayz,
Thank you for your prompt reply and I look forward to more details whenever that may be convenient to you.
There is one small (perhaps rare) matter which (though of no concern to me) I report:
my digital clock (bottom right screen corner) changed from my usual 24 hr to 12 hr format (without am/pm) and stayed like that post all-in-one uninstallation.
My regards

Jasper, Almost certainly that is due to the installation of PupClockset manager which can be used to adjust parameters of the time display. Menu -> Desktop -> Pupclockset manager.
There is now version 002 of lupufy-slacko all-in-one, which properly uninstalls right-click.
You can uninstall version 001 and then install version 002 if you wish to continue using lupufy-slacko all-in-one, so that if you subsequently uninstall it it will uninstall properly. There is also a little script to complete the uninstall of version 001 if you want to uninstall it and not use lupufy-slacko all-in-one. Thanks.

Hi playdayz et al,
My apology that I was confused and may have spread my confusion.
In retrospect, I foolishly interpreted "right-click" as
a right click
(or right clicking) thinking there was a new uninstallation method. I now see that your comment was actually about uninstallaion of the program named "right-click".
My regards

Using lupufy-slako all-in-one on other Puppies. It should work on most other puppies also. One report is that it does work on Racy.
Have just tried lupufying Racy. Roxterm appears in the utilities menu but doesn't start when clicked. lxtask is missing completely. Otherwise all the other additional utilities seem to work fine.

Thanks kickstart. I can understand about roxterm--there is probably something missing. If you could run 'roxterm' in a console it might tell us what is missing and I could possibly add it. LX Task should be under Menu -> System -> system status and config. i don't know why it wouldn't be there. Could you also try to run that in a console if you get a chance--run 'lxtask' no quotations of course.
Announcement. Lupufy Slacko now has pets for one-click install of XineDVD and Openbox as configured in Lucid.

I've made Right-click compatible to Slacko so the

gkhash be installed first.!!

Thanks don570,
This could be installed on top of Lupufy Slacko or of course by itself. For ease of uninstall, some options from the full set of right-click are not included in lupufy-slacko. Oh rats, I should have put gtkhash in the utilities package--coming up in version 003. I can hardly use any Puppy without right-click anymore!

I noticed with the
that Menu Entry Maker is located in /usr/bin, it needs to be in /usr/sbin or the edit and delete function won't work.
That's a problem I had when I first added the edit function, so I made it the default working directory for the edit to get it to work, I just tried it in Saluki and found the problem.
I have just fixed that so it will work from any directory, I also changed it so that it works with gtkdialog4 as I had it linked to gtkdialog3, now the hotkeys will work.
I do have another version 1.1.17 but I will need to fix that as well, in the mean time here is 1.1.16 that I fixed, let me know if there is a problem with it,
I have tested it and seems to work ok from where ever I run the script so all should be good fingers crossed.
No still has a problem it needs to be in /usr/sbin, I will have to sort it out but it may be just as easy to keep it where it was and it will work ok, Gee I hate when things do this
Simple GTK Theme Maker - trio -> http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?search_id=1119027875&t=45702
Simple GTK Theme Maker is a stu90 creation, stu90 also has a theme maker for openbox
SimpleBOX theme maker
I just checked the 1.1.17 version it appears that I had already fixed the gtkdialog, it might be a better option as it opens other directories for icons and apps.
Not a gz remove extension and make sure that it's executable, has to be in /usr/sbin, gtkdialog fixed

I didn't find anything wrong with my Right click pet package
and Racy. The MD5sum could be found quickly with
a right click. Check again with a fresh install,
then install my Right click pet package . You shouldn't have any
problems. If you do I would be interested in a detailed

This year is quickly coming to a close, and 2013 will be here before we know it. Let the confusion begin! With so much uncertainty still out there as we approach the New Year, many clients are looking for last-minute planning ideas that they can implement before year-end.
There is a strong consensus with regard to the expected upward direction of tax rates for high-income earners in the near future. Not only do most expect to see an increase in their marginal income tax rates due to the expiration of the Bush-era tax cuts, but they will also be affected by the new 3.8% Medicare surtax applied to net investment income over certain modified adjusted gross income thresholds (specifically, $200,000 AGI for single taxpayers or heads of households and $250,000 for married taxpayers filing jointly).
In light of impending income tax increases, clients are looking for ways to accelerate the realization of income into 2012, pay the tax liability at the current rates, and position themselves to minimize or avoid exposure to the anticipated higher marginal income tax rates, as well as the new surtax. One planning strategy that may go a long way in helping your clients achieve those goals is a Roth conversion.
Pros and Cons of Roth Conversions
If your clients hold assets in IRAs, they may want to consider a Roth conversion before the end of 2012. As the name suggests, a Roth conversion allows a client to convert existing IRA balances to Roth balances. Following changes to tax laws that took effect on January 1, 2010, there is no longer an adjusted gross income (AGI) limitation associated with the ability to convert, so this is a strategy available to earners at all levels of income. A conversion is relatively easy to complete, so you may still have time to do this by year-end.
So why wouldn't everyone convert an existing IRA balance to a Roth? The answer is simple: income taxes. When a client elects to convert an existing IRA to a Roth IRA, the amount converted is subject to ordinary income tax at the taxpayer's marginal rate. Although the Roth conversion may be viewed as a great opportunity, it is often difficult to get a client to move forward with the conversion. Such reluctance is generally due to the immediate income tax liability associated with the conversion, even though most expect that those same IRA balances will be subject to higher income taxes in the future. Is there a way to help clients overcome their hesitation? For the right client situation, the answer is yes.
When tax liability presents itself as a hurdle to what may otherwise be a good planning opportunity, I always ask whether the client has any charitable intent or a consistent history of annual charitable giving. If the answer is in the affirmative, I know that there may be more flexible ways to approach any financial planning strategy by incorporating some aspect of charitable planning.
Because, as noted above, the AGI limits that once denied higher-income earners from completing Roth conversions have been removed, I have been suggesting, where appropriate, pairing the establishment of a donor-advised fund (DAF) with a Roth conversion.
Specifics on Donor Advised Funds
A DAF is an account administered by a public charity to accept donations from a donor (i.e., your client). It may be managed by the donor's financial advisor (i.e., you) to distribute funds to other charities in the future. Donations to fund the DAF are generally tax deductible in the year in which they are made.
Once your client contributes to a DAF, he or she becomes a grant advisor to the fund, meaning that your client can make recommendations to the DAF-sponsoring charity as to the timing, amount and recipients of future distributions from the fund. Although the grant advisor's recommendations are nonbinding, as long as the recommended distribution is to a qualified charity the sponsoring charity will generally follow the donor's suggestion.
How to Pair a Roth Conversion With a DAF, and for Whom
For clients with philanthropic goals, a Roth conversion paired with a DAF can be a very appealing strategy. The client can establish a DAF, which will provide an immediate income tax deduction that may reduce or eliminate the federal income taxes arising from the Roth conversion. Once completed, the client has successfully converted otherwise taxable IRA assets to a Roth, where those assets can grow and eventually be distributed tax-free.
What type of client would benefit from such a pairing?
When reviewing your client base to determine who may most benefit from pairing a DAF with a Roth conversion, you should keep the following points in mind:
- Is the client a high-income earner who can expect to see even higher income tax liability in the future? If so, note that the converted balance will not be subject to future income tax upon distribution.
- Does the client regularly give to charity? If so, the DAF can be a way to front-load charitable giving funds to be dispersed to charities over time.
- Does the client have assets outside of his or her IRA to contribute to the DAF? When determining how to fund the DAF, always look for capital assets that have a long-term capital gain. Upon contribution to the DAF, the client will receive an income tax deduction based upon the fair market value of the asset. The client will therefore avoid any capital gain associated with the contributed position.
Taking Action Now
Although certainly not for everyone, pairing a DAF with a Roth conversion can have a powerful impact upon the right client's financial plan, but you should act now. There are operational aspects associated with establishing and funding the DAF, as well as executing the Roth conversion, which must be completed to ensure that the plan comes together properly.
Because there are specific rules regarding the client's AGI and deductibility to consider, be sure to work closely with the client's tax professional in determining the amounts to convert and contribute. If all is aligned properly, your client can create a charitable legacy while securing a tax-free account from which to fund retirement and wealth transfer goals into the future.

▶ Softenv FAQ?
Since Fall 2018, SoftEnv has no longer been supported by HPC@LSU, and it is very unlikely that it will be brought back in the future. Therefore, all HPC users should use Modules to add/remove software packages in their work environment from now on. For advice or additional information, email@example.com
A user may choose between using /bin/bash and /bin/tcsh. Details about each shell follows.
System resource file: /etc/profile
When one access the shell, the following user files are read in if they exist (in order):
- ~/.bash_profile (anything sent to STDOUT or STDERR will cause things like rsync to break)
- ~/.bashrc (interactive login only)
- ~/.profile
When a user logs out of an interactive session, the file ~/.bash_logout is executed if it exists.
The default value of the environmental variable, PATH, is set automatically using SoftEnv. See below for more information.
The file ~/.cshrc is used to customize the user's environment if his login shell is /bin/tcsh.
SoftEnv is a utility that is supposed to help users manage complex user environments with potentially conflicting application versions and libraries.
System Default Path
When a user logs in, the system /etc/profile or /etc/csh.cshrc (depending on login shell, and mirrored from csm:/cfmroot/etc/profile) calls /usr/local/packages/softenv-1.6.2/bin/use.softenv.sh to set up the default path via the SoftEnv database.
SoftEnv looks for a user's ~/.soft file and updates the variables and paths accordingly.
Viewing Available Packages
The command softenv will provide a list of available packages. The listing will look something like:
$ softenv These are the macros available: * @default These are the keywords explicitly available: +amber-8 Applications: 'Amber', version: 8 Amber is a +apache-ant-1.6.5 Ant, Java based XML make system version: 1.6. +charm-5.9 Applications: 'Charm++', version: 5.9 Charm++ +default this is the default environment...nukes /etc/ +essl-4.2 Libraries: 'ESSL', version: 4.2 ESSL is a sta +gaussian-03 Applications: 'Gaussian', version: 03 Gaussia ... some stuff deleted ...
Managing SoftEnv
The file ~/.soft in the user's home directory is where the different packages are managed. Add the +keyword into your .soft file. For instance, ff one wants to add the Amber Molecular Dynamics package into their environment, the end of the .soft file should look like this:
To update the environment after modifying this file, one simply uses the resoft command:
% resoft
The command soft can be used to manipulate the environment from the command line. It takes the form:
$ soft add/delete +keyword
Using this method of adding or removing keywords requires the user to pay attention to possible order dependencies. That is, best results require the user to remove keywords in the reverse order in which they were added. It is handy to test out individual keys, but can lead to trouble if changing multiple keys. Changing the .soft file and issuing the resoft is the recommended way of dealing with multiple changes.
▶ Display Module Names for curl on all clusters.
▶ Module FAQ?
The information here is applicable to LSU HPC and LONI systems.
A user may choose between using /bin/bash and /bin/tcsh. Details about each shell follows.
System resource file: /etc/profile
When one access the shell, the following user files are read in if they exist (in order):
- ~/.bash_profile (anything sent to STDOUT or STDERR will cause things like rsync to break)
- ~/.bashrc (interactive login only)
- ~/.profile
When a user logs out of an interactive session, the file ~/.bash_logout is executed if it exists.
The default value of the environmental variable, PATH, is set automatically using Modules. See below for more information.
The file ~/.cshrc is used to customize the user's environment if his login shell is /bin/tcsh.
Modules is a utility which helps users manage the complex business of setting up their shell environment in the face of potentially conflicting application versions and libraries.
Default Setup
When a user logs in, the system looks for a file named .modules in their home directory. This file contains module commands to set up the initial shell environment.
Viewing Available Modules
The command
$ module avail
displays a list of all the modules available. The list will look something like:
--- some stuff deleted --- velvet/1.2.10/INTEL-14.0.2 vmatch/2.2.2 ---------------- /usr/local/packages/Modules/modulefiles/admin ----------------- EasyBuild/1.11.1 GCC/4.9.0 INTEL-140-MPICH/3.1.1 EasyBuild/1.13.0 INTEL/14.0.2 INTEL-140-MVAPICH2/2.0 --- some stuff deleted ---
The module names take the form appname/version/compiler, providing the application name, the version, and information about how it was compiled (if needed).
Managing Modules
Besides avail, there are other basic module commands to use for manipulating the environment. These include:
add/load mod1 mod2 ... modn . . . Add modules rm/unload mod1 mod2 ... modn . . Remove modules switch/swap mod . . . . . . . . . Switch or swap one module for another display/show . . . . . . . . . . List modules loaded in the environment avail . . . . . . . . . . . . . . List available module names whatis mod1 mod2 ... modn . . . . Describe listed modules
The -h option to module will list all available commands.

▶ QSub FAQ?
Portable Batch System: qsub
All HPC@LSU clusters use the Portable Batch System (PBS) for production processing. Jobs are submitted to PBS using the qsub command. A PBS job file is basically a shell script which also contains directives for PBS.
$ qsub job_script
Where job_script is the name of the file containing the script.
PBS Directives
PBS directives take the form:
#PBS -X value
Where X is one of many single letter options, and value is the desired setting. All PBS directives must appear before any active shell statement.
Example Job Script
#!/bin/bash # # Use "workq" as the job queue, and specify the allocation code. # #PBS -q workq #PBS -A your_allocation_code # # Assuming you want to run 16 processes, and each node supports 4 processes, # you need to ask for a total of 4 nodes. The number of processes per node # will vary from machine to machine, so double-check that your have the right # values before submitting the job. # #PBS -l nodes=4:ppn=4 # # Set the maximum wall-clock time. In this case, 10 minutes. # #PBS -l walltime=00:10:00 # # Specify the name of a file which will receive all standard output, # and merge standard error with standard output. # #PBS -o /scratch/myName/parallel/output #PBS -j oe # # Give the job a name so it can be easily tracked with qstat. # #PBS -N MyParJob # # That is it for PBS instructions. The rest of the file is a shell script. # # PLEASE ADOPT THE EXECUTION SCHEME USED HERE IN YOUR OWN PBS SCRIPTS: # # 1. Copy the necessary files from your home directory to your scratch directory. # 2. Execute in your scratch directory. # 3.

Wikitravel talk:Star nominations
Hold off on nominations?[edit]
This is a great idea, but can we hold off on the actual nominations? Evan and Jpatokal were working on templatising the listings at Wikitravel:Listings. When it comes out, I suppose using that template should be mandatory for star articles. We'd have to go through the nominations procedure all over again. — Ravikiran 10:57, 15 May 2006 (EDT)
Determining consensus[edit]
How do we determine when an nomination actually translates into a Star? Do we wait for some minimum number of editors to "support", wait some number of days and upgrade it if there are no objections, or some other process? - Todd VerBeek 11:35, 15 May 2006 (EDT)
Star Nominations[edit]
We have nearly 12,000 Wikitravel articles now, but as of today there are only six that are star status - by my math that's 0.05%. I'm not sure why the percentage is so low, but I suspect it's one of the following:
Hoping that the issue is item #3 above I've added two more articles to the nomination list, and would hope that others might be able to find a few good articles to nominate as well. If the two nominated articles fail, hopefully we can clarify what the exact status criteria are in item #1 above and more clearly spell that out on the Wikitravel:Article status and Wikitravel:Star articles pages. -- Ryan 14:30, 4 November 2006 (EST)
Star de-nomination process[edit]
A lot of effort goes into selecting and vetting Stars, and I don't think any single user — even the Dear Leader — should have the right to unilaterally strip that away. I suggest two alternative approaches:
Discuss. Jpatokal 12:05, 20 December 2006 (EST)
There's another possible scenario, which I'm afraid we've just encountered, which is where someone looks at an article that's been declared a Star and says, "Um, no it's not, and it never really was, so I can't roll it back, and the problem is missing info, so I can't fix it myself." I'm sorry I missed the original discussion (been really busy), but I was just looking through the articles that got starred while I was away, and found that Dalian quite simply does not meet the criteria. (Only one of the district articles is actually "guide" quality; the others range from "usable" to "non existent because you probably wouldn't go there"!) - Todd VerBeek 05:41, 13 February 2007 (EST)
Quick thought that passed through my head while I was debating whether to nominate Ann Arbor as a Star candidate: Should Star articles have at least one Docent? I think there's a case for it; without a Docent we're not really providing full service to the traveler. I wouldn't de-nominate existing Stars for lack of Docents, but maybe for the future, it should be considered. (BTW, Ann Arbor does have a Docent.) -- Bill-on-the-Hill 12:15, 8 May 2007 (EDT)
Talk pages[edit]
In addition to the archive/slush process, I think it might be useful to keep a record of starnom discussions on article talk pages. Anyone object to adding that to the process explanation on this page? --Peter Talk 20:20, 2 August 2008 (EDT)
Thoughts on Star nom process[edit]
— "12AM 12PM" instead of "midnight noon" — "Avenue and Street" instead of "Ave and St" — "ndash" instead of "mdash"
Anyway, after a bit of work it is improving and I think the current version is probably approaching a star by now, but, using this as an example, I wonder would it be helpful to put an info box on the Star nom page that serves as a checklist both for people nominating and people critiquing. It is not intended to be an exhaustive list of everything that an article should have, but a shortlist of some key ingredients and common pitfalls in articles. I think that it might promote more consistency between star articles and also embolden new users with information to encourage them to join in on a critique...after the last nom of San Francisco/Golden Gate, to be honest I was left wondering why bother writing these things at all if no one is going to read them...only one person read it...Not cool!!!
It would potentially go alongside the star nom article under the "Nominations for Star status" section. Something like the one above? Anyone agree or disagree? Asterix 13:40, 3 September 2008 (EDT)
1. I've added the info box. Feel free to edit it if appropriate. I wonder, for the reasons I mentioned above, if adding checkboxes instead of just "*" is feasible?
2. Are we in agreement then on the 3 weeks, if so this needs to be changed on the nom page? Also, imo, the following statement is ambiguous. I think it should also be changed, anyone agree?
"After fourteen days of discussion if a consensus is reached that an article is a star then its status can be updated. Note that a consensus means that any outstanding issues should have been addressed; if issues remain then the discussion should continue or the article should be added to the slush pile."
3. In regards to expanding/clarifying some of the definitions on the Article status page, I think that the hardest, and most pressing one, is to define the word "complete." So, in the interests of having a first tentative stab...
"For the purposes of this guide, complete means that circa 85% of all "relevant listings" should be present. In sections where there would be an abundance of listings, relevant listings pertain to the more popular and unique listings. In sections where there is a distinct lack of available listings, all listings become relevant."
4. We're in agreement then that something should be added to the Main Page to indicate that there is a new star nom? From a technical standpoint is it possible to have that auto-updating banner to indicate to people how many days are left to vote? I also think that as part of the process the nominator should also post a note at the Travellers pub.
5. If all of the above is agreed on, we will need to change the instructions on the nom page also to reflect the change in the process. Asterix 15:17, 4 September 2008 (EDT)
Process time[edit]
Could we perhaps extend the process time for star nominations? Maybe 20 days? I really like going over top-quality articles and leaving thoughtful critiques, but I tend to miss the deadline, since I need a good open chunk of time to really look over the article (and I don't always have such chunks).
I don't know if a longer period of time might also help get more people chiming in, but if it did that would be an added bonus. Leaving something like a "last call for votes" comment on the star nom page itself can also be helpful. --Peter Talk 14:57, 3 September 2008 (EDT)
lack of star.noms[edit]
Why is there such a lack of nominations for star? I mean it's depressingly low! Only three! I think one of them will be gone soon because I believe it's been given the right to be a star. I don't get it. Personally, the only ones I truely feel comfortable nominating is one's that I've worked on in places I've been (so I know what's missing). So why don't other people nom? I don't get it. From my eyes, some look like they're ready-but I'm not sure due to the fact that it's not a city I've been. Is it because no one even wants to work up to star-if so, that's just a smidge sad. Seriously ,I don't get it. Keep smiling, ee talk 16:21, 13 November 2008 (EST).
Good points. But in my opinion, Wikitravel is better than lonely, etc. because it is updated more and the a lot of articles have so much more info here. The Edmonton guide on lonely is dull and doesn't go through half the stuff on here! To me, a lot of travel guides on here ARE better than the rest. Keep smiling, ee talk 13:44, 15 November 2008 (EST).
Walt Disney World[edit]
Hi gang. Now that the Walt Disney World Resort nomination has been slushed, I'd like to continue the conversation -- some great ideas in there -- on the talk page. Please join me over there to hash out some issues -- in particular, the issue of how big this guide should really be. LtPowers 10:16, 20 November 2008 (EST)
Style Guide/Templates matching..[edit]
There is a current nom that doesn't exactly match our templates or listing style. I thought this would almost go as far as to prevent the nomination. There are articles out there that are marked with the style template for using $ signs for price ranges, and merging sections. I see the point of Star article not being to reward an article, but rather to present our best articles as examples for people to copy and develop on. If there are some articles that have to remain forever guides, then so be it. If the style is wrong, then someone will be copying something wrong. How can we ever justify making a change back to a standard style if there is a star article that does? Am I missing the point of a star? Am I overrating the importance of a defined style guide? --inas 19:12, 8 July 2009 (EDT)
Heh, the least important issues almost always attract the most (and most intractable) debate. Does anyone know of a way to do a public coin toss on the internet? --Peter Talk 16:19, 2 August 2009 (EDT)
I've adjusted the Hollywood Studios article accordingly. Anything else holding up this nomination? LtPowers 13:58, 5 August 2009 (EDT)
Doing the promotion[edit]
What's the protocol on promoting an article to star? With Big Bend National Park, I noticed that the 21-day period had expired with nothing but support for promotion, so I marked it a star and archived it. Hollywood Studios is now at about 6 weeks with, as far as I can tell, no outstanding objections, but I feared it might appear uncouth to promote it myself. Is that considered kosher, or should I wait for someone else? LtPowers 11:24, 17 August 2009 (EDT)

Beginning June 1st, this blog will become the new electronic home for the retiring print version of the Purdue OWL Help Nest. In the past, the Help Nest served as a forum for discussing difficult questions about grammar, style, and usage. But because the Help Nest appeared as a regular component of the monthly Purdue OWL Newsletter, it became increasingly difficult to address all of our users' questions in a timely fashion. In short, the Help Nest needs to move into the digital age.
Secondarily, the Help Nest's audience has largely been limited to newsletter subscribers. It is time for the Help Nest to expand its reach beyond what the OWL editorial team can fit into the newsletter's currently limited size and scope.
Looking forward to hearing from you,

He took a deep breath and really gradually turned the knob and pressed it open. On the bed lay a definitely stunning female, totally naked. She stayed up when she heard him be available in,
He was an intense, attractive young person however concerned by the majority of his good friends back in London as a geek and by the individuals in the little English town where he had actually transferred, as totally mad. Jae could not keep a girlfriend since he 'd talk constantly about Quantum Mechanics which's not what the majority of women wish to hear, especially when you're fingering their vajajay.
Your home was totally quiet however he was still a little uncertain about taking a look around. Regardless, he felt he simply could not simply climb up back on the seat and go back to 2014 without a minimum of a little expedition.
He typically ended up operate in the laboratory at 5.30 and after that he 'd consume some sandwiches, make some coffee and calm down to 3 or 4 hours of taking things apart and putting them together once again in various setups. As unusual as it sounds Jae really thought he might develop a time maker comparable to the one H G Wells blogged about.
Due to the fact that he did, he nodded at this point.

Jae ventured into the living-room, which was expensively provided, suggesting that your house didn't come from somebody in the working class of that time. The dining-room was rather sophisticated and the corridor that was covered with thick red carpet led him to the staircase. He really silently tipped toed up the stairs, searching in 2 bed rooms and restroom prior to getting to a closed door.
When Martin Halsey hired Jae Robertson to operate in his engineering laboratory he accepted let him utilize the backroom to do his own tasks in his own time. This was a 30X30 area stacked with a great deal of old scrap, primarily left over from experiments that failed.
" I desire my child to be smart and healthy, I have these qualities and if she's best and you do too-- I'm going to have a kid I can be happy with."
Quickly he and the maker were bathed in blue light that rapidly turned to gold and when it emerged once again the environments had actually altered. Now he understood that he 'd made it, his time maker worked-- it actually worked.
" Mr. Smith I presume?"
He 'd just been dealing with his task for about 4 months when he made an astonishing development and he could not wait to check his odd looking lorry that looked a bit like a bike minus the wheels. As he strapped himself into the seat he could not assist feeling a bit distressed.
Due to the fact that he didn't understand what the fuck to state, he didn't address.
" Ellen McCormick stated if anybody might offer me a child you could," she started, looking him up and down undoubtedly captivated by his denims and Tshirt, "You definitely look fit and she informs me that you have a degree in science or something."

" Your other half can't offer you kids?"
" I do not have an other half, I'm a Proud and lesbian of it, I do not require some guy to meet my dreams I simply require a kid."
He cleared his throat questioning what to state next as she got a little impatient,
When he had actually removed off she simply lay back on the bed with her arms extended behind her. He went up onto the covers, straddled her legs with his knees each side and produced her huge luscious looking tits.
He simply stood there with his mouth open for a couple of minutes however then the care employee, who accompanied her, asked forgiveness, "I'm sorry sir-- Emily believes every male is her daddy."
" Just carefully massage it," he responded, "It will be as tough as a rock in no time."
Jae was getting horny, after all, he was talking with a lovely naked female and her sexually orientation didn't appear to matter. He rapidly removed his clothing, ever conscious that the genuine Mr. Smith may show up anytime and beat the shit out of him.
" Don't inform me you're just helpful for one fuck," she snapped, shaking her head.

Jae chose that he 'd put his time itinerary on hold for a couple of months while he made some adjustments to his gizmo. He typically thought about the female, whose name he didn't even understand and questioned if she 'd had his child back there in 1935. One day, while waiting at a downtown taxi rank he got an actually huge shock when a gray-haired old girl came up to him and stated, "Are you my daddy?"
She lightened up and laughed when he got hold of her and tossed her onto her back. He increased his speed and she dug her fingernails into his back as he went much faster and quicker.
She saw his doubt and guaranteed him that she would not simply anticipate him to merely fertilize her. "I'll draw your dick for you if that's what you desire, I'll groan and groan and shriek if that makes you fuck me much better."
She sighed impatiently however took a seat next to him and utilized her long sensual fingers to explore his balls and to move the skin carefully up and down. As he had actually forecasted it took no time at all at all and quickly it was stiff, all set and throbbing for action.
Now he recognized that he 'd made it, his time device worked-- it truly worked.
She covered herself up in the bed covers and simply sighed as if she currently felt the pleasure of motherhood. Jae dressed and went down stairs. He did not choose up the cash, he simply doodled and took the pad, I am not Mr. Smith, I am a time tourist from the year 2014.
" I ought to get pregnant," she stated, "This is precisely the correct time both from a biological perspective and from what my astrologist informs me. If I must require your services once again, compose down how I get in touch with you. You'll discover a note pad on the cabinet in the kitchen area together with your charge.
Jae ventured into the living space, which was expensively provided, suggesting that the home didn't belong to somebody in the working class of that time." I ought to get pregnant," she stated, "This is precisely the ideal time both from a biological point of view and from what my astrologist informs me. He did not choose up the cash, he simply doodled and took the pad, I am not Mr. Smith, I am a time tourist from the year 2014. Jae chose that he 'd put his time travel strategies on hold for a couple of months while he made some adjustments to his gizmo.
Her nipples were remarkably set up and he kept licking and drawing for some time. She didn't attempt to rush him up, in truth, he believed he heard her whimper a couple of times.
When he will blow his load he ended up being singing, and she, attempting to prevent providing the impression that she was enjoying it simply took brief breaths as if she was panting. It felt as though his balls were on fire when he blew his load deep into her cavity and she kept him firmly and smiled as though her goal had actually been accomplished.

THE "FRAMPTON COMES ALIVE" EFFECT or CALIFORNIA IS PATHETIC Part 2
I dunno man... I keep trying to get some butts on cushions at the Hill Street Center. But nothing seems to work. When I try being nice on the blog, hardly anyone shows up. When I insult everyone, hardly anybody shows up.
Anyway, in terms of Zen it doesn't really matter. In fact, I tend to prefer talking to and sitting with small groups. So when four people who are seriously interested in Zazen practice show up, it's actually very nice. I'm not in this for the money, or even to make a living at it. I'm not in this to get famous. And I really don't desire to get the "Frampton Comes Alive" Effect happening.
"The Frampton Comes Alive" Effect comes from an interview I once saw with Chuck Klosterman. He didn't call it that, by the way. He was talking about the fact that, other than Chrissie Hynde and Devo, none of the Akron new-wave bands that were so hyped as the Next Big Thing in the late 70's ever really made it. He brought up the success of the album "Frampton Comes Alive" (FCA). For those of you young whippersnappers who don't remember, FCA was one of the world's first really, really super mega big selling albums. I'm sure other records and CDs have surpassed it by now. But at the time it came out FCA was so unbelievably huge it seemed like there was nowhere you could get away from it. I sometimes wondered if I was the only one in my high school who didn't have a copy.
What Klosterman said was that, among all those mega-millions of people who bought FCA, only a small percentage really liked the album that much. But, the record itself became such a huge thing that lots and lots and lots of people bought it just because it was the thing you did that year -- you bought a copy of "Frampton Comes Alive." Klosterman's opinion was that any piece of art only has a certain number of true fans. Once you've passed that number, you're basically selling it to people who don't really give a shit about it, at least not as art. They're buying it for other reasons. Maybe to show everyone they're hip or whatever, or just because it's expected of them.
Klosterman's point was that even though Rachel Sweet, The Rubber City Rebels, The Bizarros, Tin Huey and all of the rest of the so-called Akron Sound artists who got snapped up by major labels in the late 70's never caught on, that wasn't such a terrible thing. The true fans of these artists remained loyal to them. The fact that the masses never consumed their product was, artistically speaking if not financially speaking, no great loss. In fact it might have saved some of those people from something that could have been actually worse. Look at what sudden fame did for Kurt Cobain. And his is just one very extreme case. There are endless examples of people who became far more miserable after becoming famous than they were when they were unknown.
How this relates to Zen is that real Buddhist practice may not be for everyone. Well, no. I mean, it definitely IS for everyone. But, in terms of what you can sell as a consumable item or a trend, it definitely isn't. It's hard work and most people are, forgive me Jesus, lazy and pathetic. They're looking for the easy way out and Zen is not it. Nothing truly worthwhile is ever easy. Yet people seem to think that real understanding of yourself and the universe you live in ought to be something you don't really need to invest any time or effort into. Maybe we'll spend an afternoon trying to get an "opening experience." But that's about all we're willing to put into it. That's sad. But that's the way it goes.
For me as a Zen teacher, I'm happier to have a handful of really honest students than to have the Frampton Comes Alive Effect happen and get a whole bunch of people who are just there because being there is the thing to do. When you come to my classes you're gonna sit and stare at a wall for an hour with no candy ass "guided meditation" talk to relieve the boredom. I'm sure that cuts down its attraction as a hip place to spend a Saturday morning.
But shit man, you'd think in Southern California, with so many people claiming to be "spritually aware" or into all kinds of Eastern philosophies and religions, there'd be more than four people who were truly interested in real Zazen practice...
Maybe not.

Non-Pavlovian Triggers
I've been playing with an inexpensive logic analyzer and some open source software to drive it lately. In fact, one of the authors of Sigrok wrote to tell me that while he didn't disagree they had some work to do on the GUI portions of Sigrok, that the latest development effort was on PulseView, not on the GUI I had been using. PulseView works at least as well as the other GUIs and the development preview version appears to have some great new features, but I could not get it to build (some libusb version issue that I haven't had time to track down).
However, the fact that Sigrok emits files I can use with other tools means that while a full-featured GUI would be welcome, the lack of one isn't a deal breaker. The broad support for hardware and the sophisticated protocol decoding makes up for the lack of a great GUI.
As I mentioned, though, don't expect Sigrok with a $15 USB probe to match capabilities with a professional-grade piece of gear. My "real" logic analyzers, for example, have the ability to adapt to different logic levels. Many of them have some form of "glitch" detection as well.
The biggest differences, though, would be in the area of clocking and triggering. By their very nature, logic analyzers are synchronous devices. Some clock signals time their data acquisition. In an ordinary analyzer, that clock often comes from the system you want to observe. Alternately, the analyzer can usually generate an internal clock (which better be at least twice as fast as the fastest thing you want to observe). The USB logic analyzer I'm using doesn't allow for any external clock. You always sample asynchronously using an internal clock.
Sigrok's triggering ability on this analyzer is similarly limited. Some of this is the hardware's fault and some is Sigrok's (there are plans to enhance Sigrok triggering in the future). Essentially, you can ask Sigrok to trigger on a specific bit pattern on a specific probe or probes. This is better than nothing, but isn't really useful in a variety of situations either.
There is one mitigating factor, however. A classic logic analyzer has a certain capture depth and you want to make the most of it. Selecting a good trigger and an appropriate clock rate means you can get the most visibility in the data you will collect post-acquisition.
With these cheap USB analyzers, it isn't such a big deal since your PC-based memory buffer is nearly infinite in practical terms. Sure, it isn't always handy to sort through a huge buffer looking for the exact segment of data you want. On the other hand, I can think of many times I was sorry I didn't set more (or less) of a trigger delay so I could see just a little bit more before (or after) the trigger event on a difficult-to-solve problem.
To illustrate, I decided to have a look at the Arduino pulse width modulation function (analogWrite). I connected the logic analyzer up to digital pin 3 (a PWM-capable pin) and digital pin 4. I wanted an easy way to mark when a PWM value changed so I toggled the bit every time through a loop that changed the PWM value. I also toggled the onboard LED. Here's the code:
void setup() { // put your setup code here, to run once: pinMode(3,OUTPUT); // PWM pinMode(4,OUTPUT); // Output for logic analyzer pinMode(13,OUTPUT); // LED digitalWrite(4,0); } int i=0; void loop() { PIND |= _BV(4); // Toggle pin 4 PINB |= _BV(5); // LED blink too analogWrite(3,i); // PWM output on pin 3 i+=0x10; // bump up by 16 i&=0xFF; // wrap at 255 delay(100); // 100mS to observe }
I've mentioned before how I dislike the way Arduino obscures what's happening under the covers. Don't get me wrong, I understand that sometimes hiding a detail makes things easier. But in many cases the Arduino changes things just because it can. In this case, look at "pin 4" where the digital output comes out. It is actually bit 4 of
PORTD on the chip and a fast way to toggle the pin is:
Of course, that just happens to work out that pin 4 is bit 4 on this port. Note that pin 13 is bit 5 on
PORTB. This is the kind of thing that causes constant confusion. Why did I use the
PIND register instead of the "correct"
digitalWrite and a variable? I'll talk about that next time.
For now, back to logic analyzers. I asked sigrok-cli to grab 2 million samples at 2MHz from two probes and store them in a VCD file. I use gtkwave to look at Verilog simulation output, and I can use the same tool to examine the output of Sigrok, too. I've included the vcd file if you want to examine it yourself.
Here's the output (I aliased the signals for readability):
Notice the PWM changes on each edge of the trace signal. If you zoom in on the part where the PWM goes to zero, you'll see this:
As you'd expect, the trace width is just about 100mS. The PWM is almost always "on" with PWM output at 0xF0. Then it goes off completely at PWM value 0. The next loop will set the PWM value to 0x10 and the output goes mostly off with just a few high spikes. Zooming in further will show this even more clearly:
Not bad for a little box that cost less than a tank of gas (actually, lately I could buy four or five of these for the price of a fill up). And Sigrok certainly does the job, even if it is still a work in progress. I even coaxed it into reading from my Rigol scope, although it only outputs data from the scope in "analog" format. Here's a command line that allowed it to read the Rigol (note, you have to run as root unless you have user access to the usbtm device):
sigrok-cli --driver rigol-ds1xx2 --d timebase=500us:coupling=DC:triggersource=CH1 --frames 1 -p CH1 -O analog
The result is something like this:
It would be easy enough to write an awk script to convert this into something more interesting, or just drag it into a spreadsheet:
This was the result of opening a text file with space delimiters and creating a chart from the column B data. You could, of course, get fancier. Even more interestingly, you could do a lot of number crunching on the data. Then again, there are other ways to get scope data into the PC — what I will really be interested in is when I can tell Sigrok to interpret the data with its protocol converters.
I suppose that's it for logic analyzers for now. As inexpensive as these little boxes are, I can't imagine not having two or three sitting around for the time when I need one. They are also easier to loan out than scopes and if I don't get one back, it isn't a great loss. If you search the Web, you'll see that there are modifications to use these as signal generators as well. Granted, the I/O is probably not protected well, but blowing one of these up would be no great loss. If you have a high-power logic analyzer you still might find these convenient. If you don't have anything, these are much better than having nothing at all.

According to the Global Language Monitor, the English language this week crossed a threshold as the "one millionth word" entered the lexicon. That word? "Web 2.0."
Global Language Monitor has a methodology by which it measures "new" words entering into English. Though "Web 2.0" has been around for years, GLM's method of counting requires "a minimum of 25,000 citations with the necessary breadth of geographic distribution and depth of citations."
"Web 2.0" met that test this week, as did "n00b" (word 999,998). Both words passed into mainstream usage today, according to GLM. Also on the listed of official new words this week: slumdog, cloud computing, Octomom (seriously, Octomom), sexting, defriend, and recessionista.
The very precision of the "one million word" claim is patent nonsense, of course, depending entirely on how you count words, what's excluded, and what the criteria is for something going "mainstream." GLM does not count, for instance, "the 600,000 species of mold" as separate words, nor do "the tens millions of lesser known chemical substances" make the list.
Stung by criticism from linguists, GLM's FAQ includes the question, "A number of linguists disagree with the Million Word March. Why?" And, in case the answer to that one doesn't clear things up, there's a second question: "Every so often, we hear arguments about the insurmountable obstacles in the path of estimating the number of words in the English Language. How do you answer these arguments?"
So, even if we English speakers are saddled with terms like "Web 2.0," "Octomom," and "Brangelina," we still have the privilege of working with one of the most supple languages in the world.
The answer to both questions is that estimates are used in everything from astronomy (how many stars are there?) to climatology (how much carbon dioxide is in the atmosphere?); language should be able to use the same techniques.
Which is all true, of course, but the cautious language of approximation and guesswork is totally absent from the announcement. "As expected, English crossed the 1,000,000 word threshold on June 10, 2009 at 10:22 am GMT," said Paul JJ Payack, president and chief word analyst of the Global Language Monitor. One is reminded of history's repeated prognostications about the year, month, and hour of the world's end.
But the larger point, one that goes far beyond the Million Word March, is that the vibrancy of English, which began in the late 16th century, continues undiminshed. The language has seen an explosion of words ever since the "new learning" of the Renaissance imported thousands of Greek and Latin terms into English, and a massive stock of French words still lingers in the language thanks to the Norman Conquest.
So today's international linguistic diversity is nothing new for the language. Many of the most recent words are American rather than from the UK, while others are Indian ("slumdog" and "Jai Ho!" were just behind "Web 2.0"). By some measures, English now has more words than any other in the world.
Simon Winchester, who wrote a wonderful book about the creation of the Oxford English Dictionary and the mad, American, penis-slashing Civil War vet who made such a tremendous contribution to the work, celebrated English diversity this week in a fine Telegraph essay.
"I just cannot imagine any other language offering such opportunities for gaiety and fun," he said. "Reading recently that both the Germans and the Chinese have cracked down on the names people are allowed to have, and knowing that the French and the Italians still have gloom-laden academies to protect the so-called purity of their languages, strips out all the amusement and joy that is so very apparent in the tongue we speak so happily. I feel for them, poor deprived purists."
So, even if we English speakers are saddled with terms like "Web 2.0," "Octomom," and "Brangelina," we still have the privilege of working with one of the most supple languages in the world. Want to write entirely in English but adopt a Latinate vocabulary? You can. An Anglo-Saxon vocabulary? You can. French? Mais oui. An Indian vocabulary? We're getting there—and have been ever since "pyjamas" and "mulligatawny" entered the language.
So here's to English in all its crazed, orthographically challenged, multinational glory; may it live long and prosper, like some open source wiki run amok across the earth.

For those who want to become a phlebotomist in Sarasota, one of the prerequisites is to attend and complete phlebotomy training. There are physical and online classes to choose from, however, for both types of class, you can anticipate that there will be lessons or tests about practical applications which will require your actual presence. But, you don't have to worry, because you will be given the chance to attend these classes at your most convenient time.
Who are Phlebotomists?
The job of a phlebotomist is to extract and take blood samples from patients for laboratory analysis or testing. You will make sure that the patients will be comfortable and will feel minimal pain while you do the blood extraction from the capillaries, veins, or the arteries.
Aside from a phlebotomy certification in Sarasota FL, you must meet certain requirements to be a phlebotomist, which includes, but is not limited to:
- Possess a high school diploma or passed a GED
- Must be at least 18 years of age
- Have a Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation certificate
- Have recent Hepatitis and other vaccinations
Why Become a Phlebotomist in Florida?
The need for certified phlebotomists is stipulated to increase in the coming years, and because of this demand, there will be an increase in their salary range. Right now, the compensation ranges from $13 – $20 per hour. This will differ depending on the following considerations:
- Geographical Factors – the salary depends on each state, overall, in the United States the minimum wage ranges from $12.5 – $13 per hour, but in states like Alaska, New York, Rhode Island, Connecticut and Maryland you can earn as much as fifteen to sixteen dollars per hour. However, the highest paying state is California, but they also demand a phlebotomist license and you need to undergo a training program for almost 9 months, before you can get hired.
- Qualifications – having certifications will definitely increase a phlebotomist's pay. Non-certified practitioners only earn about eight to ten dollars per hour, so you better pursue a certification for you to earn at least $12.5 per hour.
- Experience – in any job, work experience is always a determining factor for your salary. The more experience you have on the job, the better compensation you get.
Phlebotomy Lessons in Sarasota Florida
The Sarasota phlebotomy classes that you need to attend may vary, depending on which state you are getting your phlebotomy training, below are the major lessons and tests that you need to pass to complete the training:
- Physiology and Anatomy – to be a phlebotomist, you will need to know all the body organs and parts, their different functions and understand how homeostasis contributes to a person's optimum health.
- Microbiology – here, you will learn the functions and structure of different micro-organisms, learn about bacteria and viruses that cause disease, and proper laboratory results recording.
- Human Interaction and Psychology – as a phlebotomist, you must have good bedside manner and general attitude in minding patients, you will be taught how to professionally handle all kinds of patients, as well as their family, especially the stressed and anxious ones.
- Lab Practicum and Phlebotomy – this is the practical application class, which you need to be physically present for. Here, you will be taught how to: properly and safely extract blood from arteries, veins and capillaries; proper needle insertion to minimize pain for patients; and other important do's and don'ts of doing your job as a phlebotomist.
- Medical Math – you need to have some accurate calculation skills to become a phlebotomist. Conversion of units of measurement like ml to drops and other mathematical operations, come with your job description.
- Ethics and Legal Aspects – like any other fields, phlebotomists follow their own set of work ethics. You will be taught about the Patients' Bill of Rights, proper medical ethics and things that you need to avoid which will cause you to lose your job or license.
Finding the Best Phlebotomy Schools in Sarasota
Once you have decided to enter the field of phlebotomy, you will need to look for the best phlebotomy school to pursue your phlebotomy training.
The internet is the most sensible place to start searching, there are lots of phlebotomy associated websites and you can read forums, feedbacks about different schools.
Look for phlebotomy schools that have clinical training, practicum and equipment, you will surely be thankful for these, when you pass the exams and gain much needed experience to jumpstart your career.
You also need to take into consideration the class schedules, depth of the training module, and school fees. Lack of funds for school fees is the most encountered problem of phlebotomy students; it is beneficial to know which schools, laboratories and hospitals offer free phlebotomy training in exchange for your employment with them for a period of time.
Required Certifications
You pursuit to become a phlebotomist does not end after completing and passing your phlebotomy training, you would also have to get phlebotomy certifications. Depending on which state you are in, there are different certifications required before you become qualified in your chosen profession. Also, having certifications usually entails higher salary in Sarasota FL 34232, so it is best that you get one.
