As I evidently failed to make clear in my previous post, the order that sessions are loaded from the DVD into RAM when Puppy boots doesn't seem to matter. Puppy's layered filesystem combines everything correctly no matter what. So that, for instance, if a file from an earlier session is deleted in a later session, that file does not show up after multisession Puppy boots.
Exactly how the layered filesystem works its magic I do not know. I believe there are several threads in the forum that discuss it in some detail. Good luck finding them.
They are several years old. I think Puppy originally used Aufs for its layered filesystem, but then that was dropped in favor of a simpler method. I could be wrong. There may be something in Barry's blog about it. Look in his blog's archives.

But what about a system configuration file that was edited and saved in two separate sessions.
If the order of loading the sessions does not make any difference, then it is feasible that an earlier not wanted version of the file could replace the wanted version of the file.
I am still trying to get the multi-session DVD with Slacko 5.4 to remember and use my WIFI settings that I am using ndiswrapper with.
When I set it up, it works. I save the settings. But on the next boot, the wifi hardware is not seen and not set up automatically.
I have to set it up each time and that does not seem right to me.
So do I have to make a new multi-session DVD and set up everything all at once before it saves the first session?
This is bugging me as it does not seem to work at all like a hard drive frugal install with use of a pupsave file.

I think the mind is the first thing to go!
I stated the multi-session DVD was Slacko 5.4 when it instead was Puppy Lupu 528.
But you asked for a screen shot, so here it is.

Hi 8-bit,
Your screen shot looks fine and there is no problem with
cumulative loading sequence, whatever and whenever you added
or deleted anything. Trust BarryK - it works.
With "puppy pfix=1" you will have the cumulative effect of
your first three files - pfix=2 your first two November files
and pfix=3 your original file - pfix=4 would be pointless, and
ordinary mortals should accept this order,
You might see how big your December folders are and you
could click to open them and check if your nds wrapper
details are as you expect them to be.
We can explain how to start again from any of your
existing four (or any subsequent) saves. However I have
never used an nds wrapper, so I'm out of touch there, at
least for now.
The whole multisession system works superbly for Flash and
myself and I have some 40 sfs files stored in a flash stick,
but with your 4 GB RAM (just over 3 GB usable) you
could use pets galore.
See if you can see or think of anything which might help us
to help you.
My regards

I have and cintinue to use
live media
where I
save back to the media
versus to the USB/HDD.
Is the problem you share unique to 528, unique to Slacko54 or is it happening to all PUPs you use?
Is this where the system is NOT remembering the wireless SSID requiring re-running of "Setup Networking (task bar)" or is it requiring re-install of the driver PET for the wireless support?
Do you see prior session save files on your LIve media?
Does all of the other PETs you install behave as you expect when you reboot (for example you browser add-ons, etc.)?

I'm no expert in using wireless. I toyed with it for a while but then lost interest. My WAG (Wild-Ass Guess) is that the problem is not in the settings you are saving, but rather is something more subtle. Perhaps the connection wizard is not being given enough time to establish the wireless connection when it boots? I really don't know.
Maybe you'd get more competent advice if you started a new thread with the title something like "Multisession Lupu 528 doesn't restore wireless settings." Or whatever is most appropriate for your problem.

This thread is old, and it started with a question:
Brown Mouse wrote:
Could anybody please remind me how to go about hiding/deleting previous multi-sessions save directory's on a live disc?
The use of a .badfolders file has been mentioned, and here are some pics of how it looks on a dpup485 DVD-R that I play with.
I accidentally forgot to remove a 240 Mb .iso image from /root before saving the session to the DVD, so I blocked that session from loading at next bootup with 'puppy pfix=1' as boot message.
When saving that session containing a blocked savefile, I actually forgot that a .badfolders file was created in /, so that was saved too - an important issue to remember if you only want a savefile blocked for one session! If you want to access the blocked file again, you have to remove the lines from the .badfolders file and save another session, or you have to block the file containg the badfolders file from loading with 'puppy pfix=1'.
The problem then is that you also omit all the other saved files from that session!
Are there any other boot messages that can be used to block a savefile from being read at bootup? I tried using a savefile's 'name', i.e. it's creation date&time, but that did not help. A list of savefiles that could be blocked for the session, appearing in the boot dialog, would be nice...
There are also other ways to save files, so that they don't turn up at boot time, see this link:
Save directories to DVD+RW as sessions, using growisofs

Subject description: Temporary blacklist folders!
I have a number of session folders on my Lupu DVD disk and thought I would try booting with "pfix=4" to blacklist the last four sessions.
That worked fine other than since only changed and new files get saved when saving a session, files or pets that were added/installed in previous sessions that you blacklist may not appear.
But, I also found that unless you save the newly created .blacklist file by saving the current session, the .blacklist file disappears on the next boot.
So in some ways, this answers anothers question about if the blacklisted sessions would be temporary and only for the current session.
Also, again, remember that blacklisting previous sessions may remove files and installed pets that were done in the blacklisted session.
Just remember NOT to save when rebooting if you want the .blacklist to be temporary.

Yes, but also remember that
is just another file that may be edited and modified or even removed, if you need to save the next session. That is part of the Linux advantage!

I understand how the blacklist file works. And also that clicking on the Save icon saves a new session to the CD/DVD that contains changes made and also any added content.
But what I would like to be able to do without migrating to a new CD/DVD is to have the SAVE contain all the contents and additions of the previous saved sessions like one was migrating.
After all, loading many sessions on boot slows up the booting process.
So can one make a new session contain all the content of previous sessions along with blacklisting all the previous sessions?
Or am I stuck with migrating to a new disk?
I guess I will have to read up more on the workings of multisession Puppy CD/DVDs.
Got a link?

working on this idea with a multisession update. Very simple, a on the fly method would save current setup as a multisession in a sfs file. Within a dated directory like now. so all normal pfix stuff works. But on next load the directory reading will end at the sfs files directory. It would be standard sfs file so that we could also reburn to a new disk.

Post subject: Should multi-session changes be considered for extention(s)
Let me see if I can put this into perspective.
We currently have methods of backup to a prior time in system's operation, when at boot time we add the parm to skip some 1 or more prior save-sessions that exist on the DVD.
And, there is a manner to make this "backup to ..." method permanent for future reboots via proper use and save-session at shutdown.
Further, it is noted that there is a file in the filesystem called ???/.badfolders which can be modified (how???) so that on the LIve media disc, when rebooted, would abandon use/loading of the content of things found in badfolders.
Is that correct?
Then this discussion and its items over the past couple days and Thanks to @Ted Dog, shows that the save-sessions or the system's folders can be saved, at session end, in a common ...sfs file on the DVD which would be embraced at reboot.
Is that correct?
Thus, this means that new ways of telling boot-time starts what it is that I want to be used when piecing together the system's needs for the user desktop experience...all via a single SFS.
Is that what we rounding this toward?
Seems like a simple benefits analysis is all that's needed to take this to a simple, yet logical solution making it obvious to even new users on boot options when using DVD/CD media.
And, this has some very obvious benefits to other removal media as well such that the need for frugal persistence requirements would also be embraced by this simple methods of save-session. Thus, the community would benefit in have ONLY ONE(1) common method of persistence instead of the obvious 2 where the frugal has some shortcomings that DVD save-session do not.
This would then provides common boot understanding no matter which of the removable media or frugal uses are selected. The benefits would be common to each.

yes you are describing the methodology correctly and only a stop here on the reloading of multisessions at the most resent rolled up sfs file. But I do like the any device methods of multisession found on fatdog. And will be testing code by multisession on a harddrive ( ext2,3, 4 partions )
next stage is to have a named saved mulisession folder instead of date-time ( date time availabe at the proberties of the directory )

#162 – Slippers
Posted on January 5, 2007 at 12:00 am by Chris
In case some of the Monday, Wednesday, Friday readers missed the announcement on Tuesday, Biff is now being updated 5 days a week! More Biff for your buck.Tags
0 thoughts on "#162 – Slippers"
that looks like the spanish inquisition kind of slippers.
Haha, wow… genius concept. I wonder if they hurt…
I've just finished wading my way through the Biff-topia that is your archives and I have to say Chris you've got style 😉 But Biff's style beats all, I mean GREEN shoes? Come-on, thats awesome!! I'll definately be bookmarking you and checking back mate. I'm pretty sure I found the site from a banner above Yirmumah…but I could be wrong.
Though as for today's slice of Biff pie, it just makes me hotter looking at it :P. Its the middle of summer here, me being an Aussie and all…stupid heat…its hot…
holy crap I caught up to the front of the comic!! yay! Hopefully you put up more new ones than Blastwave :). From the sounds of the comics so far you are doing a lot so I shouldn't have a problem there hehe. It goes without saying that I love the comic, but I'm sure it feels nice to hear, so, I love the comic! I will probably email out to my buddies to read it and I will definitely bookmark it so I can come back and read more and leave more innane comments! Toodles!
Genius. Pure and simple genius.
Now I want those. Heh.
Later he would want to step on the ice after he removed them,The hot fires gotta hurt his foot LOL.
i hope he has a family size box of blister plasters and that he's using a carbon neutral fule.
It must also be hard to walk in those things.
keep up the good work
wow, chris, you've outdone yourself, and it's kinda funny, just the comments, they seem to follow a pattern of people loving you and you thanking them, this must be the most tireing part…..it's gret nt being abl to splel
Just finished reading all the comics and im amazed at how funny and unique they are. This is definately going in my favorites. Im glad i saw the banner on Blastwave.
Im in Colorado and its snowing yet again. Freezing. I really hate this blizzard.
I want those! Im in Washington (State not DC…) and I HATE THE RAIN! Its cold and wet and miserable. Some warm slippers would be awsome.
I wish I had some… XD
I love The Book Of Biff.
So much.
Thank you. 😀
Forgot to mention before that another reason i like this comic is that you (Chris) seem so nice and actually talk with and thank the readers.
I really wish i had those right now though. Just got in from shoveling.
I have some slippers like that,but instead of wood fires, they use nuclear fission. Downside, it's more expensive, but the plus side is that now my feet are like built-in nightlights.
hm, mabye he needs better eyebrow clippers
Not steam-powered?
His eyebrows kinda look like antennae from the side…
Question: I have been wondering since #1 – is that a moustache, or his mouth?
damn, i've been trying to grow one like that… hasn't worked out yet =(
I only found this comic a few days ago and I've read them all now. Awesome work.
diizzzaaaaaaam, I need a mouth like that
Just found this comic, read all of them! Loved the unique style you've used for this character and the creativity for each strip! I'm bookmarking this site as of today! ^^
omg XD I love Biff. I was clicking random comic ads when I found this. Most defenatly being bookmarked!
My first time on this site! (*?*)
I LOL'd a lot at this picture.
Patricide: Do you ever feel strange watching Northern Hemisphere TV programming during their winter? I mean, seeing the snow on the television, then looking outside to see it boiling hot?
"It runs on steam, Marty!"
I definitly dont need those. it would be good, but this winter it was like previous years autumn and autumn was like the summer :/
Those would be great for me. My computer is downstairs. I've also read all of your comics. Great style. I love the humor.
I just finished reading all of your comics, Chris, and your a humoous genius. This deserves a fifty karat two ton gold trpohy of you, even though theres no such thing as a fifty karat gold statue of you. I'm definitley book marking it.
Considering, the other comics I read like Questionable Content, I kind of find it hard to believe that you've been doing this for twelve years now and only have 162 comics up here.
The eyebrows and eyes in this comic remind me of a slightly satanic butterfly, toss in the steam-powered slippers and it's almost like biff is channeling a demon relaxing at home.
I was impressed with the very accurate depiction of Mousetrap a few comics back, though I was rather unimpressed with the game itself. If any tiny piece of plastic is a fraction of a millimeter out of place, the whole thing fails and turns into explosive ground hamburger meat.
It is also worth mentioning that, upon comic(al) review, my best friend can no longer eat breakfast or use drinking fountains due to fear of biffian mishap.
It is 1 A.M. and I just finished reading through the whole thing because I couldn't sleep.
I'm going back to bed now, and will probably be able to sleep, but… Weird dreams await me.
… Sweet. 😛
I'd buy a pair
Oh really?
OW. Just OW. I also live in colorado, and I wouldn't have minded them this december.
Reminds me of the thinking cap.
oh that Biff, such eccentric ideas…
i simply despise slippers, they leave my feet with a cold sweat and it's just nasty.
My mom needs a pair of these. Actually, isn't this one of the very, very few ideas that could possibly work?
Rigel – That's a quote from the Devil's Panties webcomic!
My mom needs these in the SUMMER! She's cold no matter what!
Are they fleece-lined?
Reminds me of my Grandparent's house. They use this iron stove all year round, in Texas.
I just realized this is the one that's at the top of the page. I think this is one of the best drawn Biff's.
Does he wear these while thinking of bonds?
He should just dip the slippers in his heated bath tub…:P
so true. now i use a blanket. you know what else no one suspects? NO ONE SUSPECTS THE ALL MIGHTY PINKSTAR! (my warrior cats fan-made cat)
he should wear his steam hat with those shoes then all he needs are a pair of steam pants and a steam shirt then he can have the entire steam wardrobe
*glares at own frozen feet in superthick socks*
is it just me, or do those slippers look like they're not removable? I mean, metal slippers with rivets… Warm, but… how do you get them off?
sounds like my kind of slippers
did u know that they make USB slippers that have the cord connect from a computer to the slippers and warm them? It's pretty useless and wastes tons of your battery power. The things people will buy, eh?
i definitely want one of those.
Steam powered hats, steam powered shoes…
Biff is good with steam, it seems
It's actually cold enough for him to not wear a T shirt!
Don't forget to fill them up with coal every 2 hours, they also come in extra large containers for 5 hours non-stop.
just one thought:
did Biff invent these using his steam powered thinking cap?
Oven slippers FTW!!!
This winter, i'll make that comic my background pic. Thank you so much, Chris!

I must agree. I think it sounds like a layer 1 or layer 2 problem. Swap out the cables on both PCs and see if the performance improves on the transfer.
Most of the time if the duplex setting and tranfer rates are set to auto they will negotiate the most optimal settings. Is there a delay when you ping between that machines? I mean outside of the normal LAN delay?
How many protocols do you have bound to the card? In most cases it should just be TCP/IP, but I have seen problems where people had Appletalk, IPX/SPX, TCP/IP and every thing else under the sun. Additional traffic from these protocols may cause delay.
Let me know the above info and ill see what else I can think of.

From President (Tom Lucarelli):
Seasons Greetings,
While it looks like winter has arrived and with the colder temperatures the outdoor rinks will be ready for pick up games.
From all indications the Thanksgiving tournament was a success. A big thanks goes out to Monica Crandall, Cheryl Mason, Tim Fredberg, Rich Sonterre and Angela Pfeifer for their many hours of hard work. Also a big thanks to all of the IYHA volunteers and to our tournament co sponsors from Mounds View Youth Hockey for another well run event. Remember our next tournament in January – let's make that tourney a big success also.
Congratulations to the Irondale Peewee A team on being the Consolation Champs and to the Girls 12U for their second place finish in Hastings. Hopefully other IYHA teams will be able to follow in their footsteps and bring home some hardware in upcoming tournaments.
A final thanks to Kara Chamberlain for stepping up to be Ice Commissioner.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
See you at the rink - Tom
From Web Master (Torri Johnson):
Website News:
1) Pictures - we need pictures of your events. Send them to
2) Team Rosters and Documents - to see your team roster and to communicate with your team, go to your Team Page and click on Roster along the left hand side. Scroll to the bottom of the screen and enter the email address and password you used for registration. If you cannot remember or don't have a password, go to Edit My Account on the home page to get set up. Another option is to email
3) Volunteer Hours - don't forget to record your volunteer hours. Use the online form under the Volunteer tab along the top of the home page. Don't assume that because you are a coach or a board member or worked in a tournament that you don't have to document your hours. Fill out the form, please. It will ensure that you get your volunteer deposit returned to you and avoid hassles later in the season.
4) New! Ice For Sale is now on the Master Schedule - All available ice through the rest of the year is now on the Master Schedule. It is also listed in the Our Teams section.

Define it however we want to – listed examples of recent mergers – Bob – do the kids have an opportunity to tryout in the new world? – don't have to try out – Tom J – so many assns getting smaller is that why they are merging? Trend in competitiveness with A teams – in our SSR Thanksgiving tournament last year our teams were 1 and 14 (wins and losses) – Mark R question – tryout for A team – don't make it – go somewhere else and tryout as A team? Rick can find out these kinds of answers and we can define some things how we want them to work – add to bylaws of newly created organization – Bob question – is the task force going further or faster than the board wants? No, per a lot of the members – purely fact finding and being thorough – Rick needs board to tell him where to go from here – important pieces of information – Dave Margeneau (Minnesota Hockey Maroon District Director – we are in the Maroon District) and Derek Olson – President of the Armstrong/Cooper association - District 1 possibly going away – restructure MN Hockey – will be voting on it very soon – you need to get out in front of this - Bob question to Chris – what hearing at the district level – MN hockey says there will always be St Paul and Mpls hockey but it may change – District 10 has 21 assns – we went to DIST 1 because members wouldn't let go of A teams – Derek O questions and answers in writing could be sent to the board – Bob – how do we get all members to vote on what happens? Chris - video tape a Q & A and share with membership?

Bob – IYHA identity? Tom L did contact MV – they said let's look into it – we formed a task force and did information gathering – suggest them to the same – MV said they would do that –Tom needs to follow up with them. Per Tim F – the coaches of IHS and MV boy's hockey have talked too. Athletic Director's have probably talked too. Tom L – thanks to the task force for doing what you have done so far – greatly appreciated. Bob – have an at large meeting to discuss after the holidays – do before the January meeting – need to add a vote to get people to come – all in favor vs all opposed – meeting will need to be called a partnership – bring in speaker – Dave? Tom M? – Chris will invite - Bob made a motion to have a meeting of the membership at large prior to the January board meeting to discuss partnership concept (MR second) all in favor, none opposed – motion carried.

Treasurer: Theresa Spiering. – see handouts – LR paid $14,000 and another $2000 coming next week. Theresa doesn't know what to do with ice bills – no contract or bill for SSR – has paid them some money – Coliseum and Ramsey County are paid up – Theresa should just send out a billing to the teams so we get some money coming in – how does Theresa know ice times by month? Tom and Torri talked about it – look at website to see what ice is scheduled and charge an average price per hour. Torri can provide details from website for ice – how much ice used by each team in November – October ice costs were included in registration fees – average cost per hour of ice is $165? Met with MAP people – going well – guy is not an accountant – her sister is an accountant – she and Theresa are setting something up for him to review – missing information is now being dealt with – may need to file amended returns – thanks to Theresa's sister for helping her with the books. Premier Bank – Jean needs to go in and sign. Theresa wants emails from coordinators telling her what should be refunded in rare cases.
Boys Program Coordinator: Mark Rupp. – see Mark's notes below:
Teams - Teams are their practices are well underway. So far our teams have been pretty competitive against various games played to date. We did lose one player to the girls' varsity team at the PWA level. Her spot was taken with a player moved from the PWB squad. The PWC squad moved a player to the PWB squad. Because of the small numbers on each team, these moves were quite difficult to accomplish. Overall, I am encouraged by where our kids are headed this season.
Coaches meetings - Two meetings were held, October 25th, and October 29th. Coaches were strongly encouraged to attend on one of those two dates. Between the two dates, we had very good attendance from both the girls and boys side. Good topics were covered, and it was good to have both groups of coaches together.
Girls Program Coordinator: Mike Nundahl. – U14 games are scheduled – U12's already played a couple games – U10 had a jamboree up at Breezy Point – U8's – we need to recruit more young girls.
Initiation Program Coordinator: Bob Gabler. – two kids quit. Game scheduling should be done. Emailed Jeff Martin regarding HS kids helping volunteer with mites (6 hours) - maybe the Blue Line Club or IYHA would pay this? Not a real student coach – more of a guest coach – Jeanne will research & get back to Bob. Initiation kids need 20 black pucks – Mark has some so Tom doesn't need to get any. January 27th is youth hockey night at the boy's HS game (usually the C mites – maybe other kids could go out and do it.)
District Representative: Chris Drews. – played secretary at the last meeting – changed link to new District 1 website – district1pucksystems2.com – IYHA got recognized as being the only assn with books ready on time – not reimbursed from Brenda Lacy – for flyers - $500 marketing money – give receipts to Chris – if anyone has games with Edison their C teams folded – Bantam, Pee Wee and Squirts (only Pee Wee and Squirts impact us) – Edgecombe Green Pee Wee C folded – January 18th – Shoreview and February 18 – Edison. Dist 1 game – Dist 1 rules, Dist 2 game – Dist 2 rules. Kids with 1994 birthdates need to go to MN hockey for select 15s – Jean give to Tyler Fitzel. See actual minutes below:

I have the notes from the Chair, but was not in attendance. According to the notes, the clinics have been well attended by teams, we have had 19 hours of ice through November 19th, coach participation varies at each level, and finally for future schedule the need arises to watch the combinations of more than one level on the ice. According to Jeff Opperman, an action point was getting the clinic documentation earlier in order to ensure it gets posted. He is working with Tadd to get this accomplished in a more timely fashion. Anything from anyone else who attended the meeting?

City of San Leandro cannot mention "Christmas," but councilors wanted to celebrate communism
Paul Joseph Watson
September 20, 2013
The Mayor of San Leandro has halted a council-approved plan to fly a Communist Chinese flag over city hall on October 1st after the proposal sparked widespread public outrage.
Earlier this week, the city council of San Leandro, Calif. voted 4-3 to approve flying the Chinese flag over city hall in order to honor "the formation of the sovereign state in 1949 by communist leader Mao Zedong," the San Jose Mercury News reported.
The move was also a gimmick aimed at sending a message that, "the city is open for Chinese business and investment."
The council decision was swiftly met with dozens of irate phone calls and emails, prompting Mayor Stephen Cassidy to announce that he would exercise a special ordinance to overrule the vote.
Tibetan activists drew attention to China's human rights abuses, with Tashi Kungo of the Tibetan Association of Northern California asserting that the flag is "stained with the blood of Tibetans, Uyghurs and Chinese."
Economist Greg Autry charged that the city had been "corrupted by the lure of Chinese money," adding that San Leandro was seeking to partner with "a regime that has killed more people than any other on Earth." Autry also drew attention to the Chinese government's persecution of the Falun Gong sect, members of which are routinely imprisoned, tortured and executed before having their organs harvested and sold for profit.
However, the flag could eventually make an appearance if those same councilors approve a plan to be discussed on October 7th that would adjudicate whether or not the flags of other countries are permitted to fly over city hall. The Chinese flag has already been flown over city hall in other Bay Area cities, including San Francisco and Alameda.
The city council member behind the effort to fly the Chinese flag, Benny Lee, refused to comment after the Mayor overturned the decision.
As Mac Slavo highlights, although the town councilors were eager to fly the Communist Chinese flag in celebration of the formation of a state which under Mao Zedong killed up to 65 million people, they don't share the same enthusiasm for Christmas.
"What's notable is that the very same city government which is so tolerant of mass exterminations and human slavery, would shun a symbol such as the Christmas tree. You see, San Leandro is one of those cities that chooses to light a Holiday Tree instead of a Christmas tree, taking great care to not mention "Christmas" in any form or fashion in their council meetings or publications," writes Slavo.

Cascading Style Sheets
The CBJ website uses the Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) architecture. This standard allows us greater freedom with design while increasing the accessibility of the content for our users. Using style sheets, we can make our content available to nearly all browser and computing platforms, including handheld and ADA devices, from the same page rather than maintaining "text only" or "printer friendly" duplicates of our pages.
Any Downside to CSS?
The only downside is that many older browsers are not style sheet compliant. The upside of the downside, however, is that style sheets are much kinder to non-compliant browsers than other web architectures (frames, for instance). Browsers that are not style sheet compliant will display the content of a CSS web page in a "text" format. Although it is not pretty, all the information (including links and images) is displayed. In fact, using style sheets, the web designer can control the order in which the content is displayed in a non-compliant browser without compromising how the site is displayed in compliant browsers. This ability alone is a major advantage of Cascading Style Sheets. This allows web pages to be tailored to both old and new browsers. As a website designer, I would much rather have my users say my web pages "look funny" than saying they "don't work."
CSS-Compliant Browsers
Most of the newer versions of the popular browsers are CSS-compliant. If your current browser is not stylesheet compliant, please click on one of the buttons below to download a compliant browser. For older systems (with slower processors and less memory), select the Opera browser. This browser has much lower system requirements than the other two.

This is really late notice. We had some extenuating circumstances this month and then a last minute cancellation. Now that everything is squared away, we have some great news.
If you are in the Las Vegas area, you are welcome to attend our monthly meeting which is now being held at the south end of the strip. This should put you a bit out of the way of the CES 2014 crowds – though you will probably have a fantastic time getting through the crowd.
Then again, maybe you just can't peel yourself away from these types of things at CES.
Or maybe you are just too busy trying to find the right pair of speakers for your car at CES 2014.
Well good news! S3OLV holds the meetings in the evening and the main show at CES should be pretty close to wrapping up.
Come join us this month for a presentation by Julie Koesmarno. She hails from down under and is making time in her schedule last minute to help us out. You can read all about the presentation and Julie at our Meetup site here (http://bit.ly/1d3NTcv).
Guess what else you can do by visiting our Meetup site (http://bit.ly/1d3NTcv) . You can find out about how we have changed venues to the South end of the Strip. That's right, S3OLV has moved. We are now meeting at the Tahiti Village. Details of the location are in the meetup. Check it out.
Oh, and don't forget. We still offer an online virtual meeting space for the user group just in case you can't make it in person. Details for joining the virtual meeting are also in the Meetup page (http://bit.ly/1d3NTcv).

A Hard Day's Night
A Hard Day's Night
Released on 10th July, 1964, the Beatles third album in less than eighteen months was timed to coincide with the cinema opening of their first movie.
Of the album's 13 tracks seven were featured in the soundtrack of the film. One single had been released ahead of the album that being "Can't Buy Me Love"/"You Can't Do That" which had been issued on 20thMarch. It was also quite remarkable that for the first time on a Beatles album that all of the titles had been composed by John and Paul.
Since the release of With The Beatles, the previous November, their UK success had started to spread around the world. Their first US single via Capitol Records - "I Want To Hold Your Hand"/"I Saw Her Standing There" had topped the US charts for seven weeks, leading to their former US distributor reissuing 'She Loves You' and 'Love Me Do' both of which also reached the # 1 spot. In fact such was the group's popularity that in the first week of April, 1964 they held all top five positions in the Billboard chart with a further seven titles it's Hot Hundred.
Despite their success, their workload did not ease up, in fact within hours of returning from a triumphant visit to the US, which had included concert performances and three appearances on the Ed Sullivan TV show, the guys were in a TV studio in London rehearsing and recording another guest appearance.
The Spring and early Summer of 1964 saw The Beatles filming and recording new material both for the movie and their next album. They also filmed a TV special, and played a few UK dates prior to jetting off on a 27 day tour that visited Denmark, The Netherlands, Hong Kong, Australia and New Zealand. They eventually returned to Britain on 2nd July and four days later attended the world premiere of "A Hard Day's Night" at the London Pavilion.
The album reached no.1 in the UK charts towards the end of July and occupied the top spot for 21 of the 38 weeks that it spent in the Top Twenty
In the USA, A different album was issued to that at home. The US version (issued in late June) was a soundtrack which as well as featuring a number of the songs from the UK album also included four instrumental pieces from the film's soundtrack performed by George Martin's Orchestra. A month later Capitol Records released "Something New" an all-Beatles album that included eight songs from the UK release along with a further three tracks not previously released in the US. Both albums achieved enormous success. The soundtrack album enjoyed a 14-week stay at #1 and despite the crossover of titles, "Something New" spent nine of those same weeks at #2.
"Even though we felt, 'Yes, we're established and we've conquered all these countries and we've sold a lot of records and they all love us', it was not a thought, 'It's going to end tomorrow', or, 'It's going to go on for ever'. I never sort of had that thought. It was just happening now, you know. It wasn't like making plans for the future. It was just on this roll and we were all in our early twenties and we were just going with it."
EMI PHOTO At a recording session for "A Hard Day's Night"
"Hard Day's Night was the first big one that I did. I had the benefit of having a director who was a musician - Dick Lester - who was quite a good pianist. And of course we recorded the special songs for the film as, as we just do ordinary recordings, and Dick used a lot of the songs I'd already recorded, you know, the past albums. Can't Buy Me Love had already been recorded, for example."
"America Gets The Beatle Bug From John, Paul, Ringo & George
Tuesday proved a sensationally historic night for British pop music when the Beatles performed their first live U.S. concert in Washington to an overwhelming reception. The capacity audience of 8,000 screaming American teenagers stood up as Paul soloed in 'Long Tall Sally' to close a terrific thirty-minute act.
All four Beatles regarded this Washington concert as a big challenge in their storming career. Before they went on they were unusually tense - but once on stage they clicked into action.
After their concert, the Beatles were guests of honour of the British Ambassador in Washington at a masked ball."NME Friday July 14th, 1964
Fans crowd outside Marylebone Station where the Beatles were filming "A Hard Day's Night"
"If you look at our itinerary some of those years where we did maybe a tour of England, a tour of Europe, a tour of America, two albums and about four EPs, and three singles, and made a movie all in the same year - you think, 'Oh Jesus, how did we do that?'"
"They didn't really get totally immersed in record production until later on when they stopped touring - there wasn't time. They would dash into the studio, put down their tracks and they'd leave all the work really to us. They were incredibly busy during those first years."
EMI PHOTO Paul recording tracks for "A Hard Day's Night"
"We often could rely on Ringo for titles cos Ringo had this happy knack of getting things wrong - little malapropisms - and it was always better than the real one. Someone said to him, you know, you look a bit tired today. He said, 'Yeah, I've had a hard day's night, you know'. He meant it, and we all went, 'Hard Day's Night, that's great!'"
"I had one mind that wrote books or funny stories and another mind that churned out things about I love you and you love me, cos that's how Paul and I did it, you know. Like, 'Oh, you know, let's write another of them'."
"Here it is, at last! The long-awaited title song from the Beatles' film 'A Hard Day's Night'. I'm sure every NME reader already has a copy on order, so you don't need me to recommend you to buy it. It's a bouncy finger-snapper, with a pounding beat and catchy melody. Both sides written by the Lennon-McCartney partnership, of course."

Oliver Wahlstrom is no stranger to turning heads at the TD Bank Mini 1-on-1 tournament, as the young phenom tallied the tourney's most dazzling goal two summers ago.
His most recent goal, however, which capped off the Portland Junior Pirates' championship victory in the boys 10-and-under bracket, was even crazier.
With a 2-0 lead and the shootout well in hand on the TD Garden ice in Boston, Wahlstrom decided to show off the skills that have had fans' jaws dropping since he burst onto the TD Bank Mini 1-on-1 scene in August 2010. He scooped up the puck on the blade of his stick, twirled it around and buried it in the back of the net lacrosse-style.
Yes, folks. The goal is legal, and it's the type of goal that's amazing even for an NHL player, never mind someone who won't even have his driver's license for another six years.
Check out the incredible goal in the video above.

No on Proposition C
Three years ago, in Citizens United vs. Federal Election Commission, the Supreme Court ruled that corporations and unions have a 1st Amendment right to spend their money to influence voters. The court struck down restrictions on independent expenditures, saying they were a form of protected political speech and that prohibiting them was censorship.
The decision didn't go as far as some of its detractors imagine. For example, it didn't eliminate laws prohibiting corporations from contributing directly to political campaigns, nor did it strike down restrictions on political spending by foreign corporations. Contrary to popular belief, Citizens United didn't authorize rich people to spend unlimited amounts of their own money on political advertising. They already had that right under a 1976 Supreme Court decision.
Still, as this editorial page said at the time, the decision needlessly overturned decades of reasonable restrictions on political activity by corporations. It has led to an unsavory increase in the influence of corporate and other special-interest money in the political process. Promising initiatives to counter some of the effects of the decision have been introduced in Congress, but they have been stymied. That has led some frustrated activists to propose that the U.S. Constitution be amended to overturn Citizens United. As part of that campaign, voters in the city of Los Angeles will be asked on May 21 to answer the following question:
ENDORSEMENTS: Los Angeles City Elections 2013
"Shall the voters adopt a resolution that there should be limits on political campaign spending and that corporations should not have the constitutional rights of human beings and instruct Los Angeles elected officials and area legislative representatives to promote that policy through amendments to the United States Constitution?"
Critical as we were of Citizens United, we aren't convinced that Proposition C is the best way to fix the country's campaign finance system. Although it purports to "instruct" members of Congress from this area to support a constitutional amendment, in fact they wouldn't be bound by it. Thus, it would most likely have little or no effect.
A more significant problem is that the "instruction" voters would be sending to their elected representatives would be vague and question-begging. Amending the Constitution ought to be a disciplined and careful process, because words matter. Precision is especially important when it comes to the 1st Amendment, which has escaped being amended for two centuries despite public outrage over court decisions involving political dissent, obscenity and flag burning.
WATCH: Garcetti video interview | Greuel video interview
Yet Proposition C doesn't offer an actual text of a proposed amendment. Instead, the hoped-for amendment is described (in a sample ballot mailed to voters) in terms of its effects: It should overturn parts of Citizens United and Buckley vs. Valeo, the 1976 Supreme Court decision holding that wealthy individuals could spend unlimited amounts of their own money on independent advocacy. It also should assert that corporations lack the constitutional rights of individuals and have no free-speech right to influence the electoral process. Finally, it should permit limits on political spending designed to ensure that "all citizens — regardless of wealth — have an opportunity to have their political views heard."
But these intentions could be implemented in a variety of ways, some of them worrisome. Take the sweeping assertion that corporations "do not have the constitutional rights of human beings." Would that "instruction" be limited to political speech, or would it also tell members of Congress that they should feel free to strip businesses of other protections, such as freedom from unreasonable searches and seizures and the right to due process in civil lawsuits? What about media corporations? Would magazines and newspapers still have the right to endorse candidates? In judging Proposition C, voters won't have the advantage of seeing any wording on that issue or any other.
Proposition C is essentially a primal scream about the role of corporate (and other) money in politics. But its message would be a muddled one. Whatever their views of Citizens United, voters who believe that elections should involve clear choices and have practical consequences will vote no on Proposition C.

Danish Air Force make public UFO Files
Posted by dandare on January 30, 2009
The Danish Air Force has followed France and the UK, and released UFO Files to the Public (released on the 28th January 2009).
DR has a short article here (translated with Google, so the English is not brilliant). Its the 2nd article from the top, on the list (for some reason will not go directly to the article).
" An archive of the last 25 years of UFO observations are now been opened at Karup Air Base.
Observations out in a blue binder with 329 pages.
Air Force published the file today and made it available simultaneously on the Internet.
None x-files It was Captain Thomas Pedersen from the Air Force, which handed UFO directory.
We have chosen to tell people that here is the folder we put it on the Internet. And then it all afmystificeret and shows that there is no secret. There is no x-files. The folder has never been secret, it has just not been available, "said Captain Thomas Pedersen " (full article quoted here).
At Forsvaret.dk (danish Air Force) there is " UFO archive online " (translated from google). At the bottom of the article the PDF can be downloaded, in Danish. It also mentions that Air Force Magazine (published 2nd febuary) will have more on the UFO archive.
" The historical-UFO sightings, which now can be downloaded from this page, is reported to the Air Force Tactical Command and also the very thorough investigation reports from Scandinavian UFO Information and some newspaper articles – including the story of then frozen toilet waste fell from the sky and gave rise entitled to wonder " (extract from article).
Future Ufo sightings will be sent to SUFOI .
JP.DK has " Secret UFO archives opened "
" The Danish Air Force has opened its UFO archives, providing information on over 15,000 reported extraterrestrial sightings to the public UFO archives are now readily available to the public, detailing sightings from over the last 30 years. The Danish Air…
UFO archives are now readily available to the public, detailing sightings from over the last 30 years. The Danish Air Force published the archive online yesterday because it felt that 'there was nothing secret in the files'.
The Air Force said that most of the sightings remained 'unidentified' because the details were not precise enough. However, some of the reports contained enough description to rule out the UFOs as aircraft, weather phenomenon or paper lanterns.
Not all of the sightings were centred over Denmark and one event over Greenland is attracting attention.
On the 5 January, 1981 at 12:50 a flaming, square disc was seen approximately 45 degrees over the frozen land near Thule Air Base. It then vanished as suddenly as it had appeared.
Coincidentally, radar stations at the American base recorded an unidentified flying object on its radar at 12:50.
Air Force Captain Thomas Petersen, who has an extensive knowledge of the files, commented that any unresolved sightings are handed over to the Scandinavian UFO Centre, if they request it.
He added that the Air Force's main mission was to defend Denmark against threat, 'and UFOs are not a known threat' " (full article here).
The PDF can be downloaded here .
The Copenhagen Post has " Secret UFO archives opened " (posted 29th january 2009, in English).
Farshores has " Danish Defence Dept releases 52 years of UFO files " (with translation, posted 28th january).Part of the article mentions that a boy aged 15, saw a UFO and some aliens in 1982. The description is on page 144 (of the UFO files), plus the drawing (see below).
Please also see Alien casebook for a blog article " Denmark discloses its UFO files ". It gives more information about the 15 year old's encounter.
In a related article on UFOs (posted 29th january) in Ingenioren, it has " Thai paper lamps creates Danish UFO hysteria " (translated by google). Sound familiar to any other particular country?
UPDATE : 30th january 2009
An article written today by The Copenhagen Post online, has some further information to give us; entitled " The truth is now out there ".
" But not all sightings can be readily explained. In August 1991 two police officers on a night patrol in the northern Copenhagen suburb of Ordrup had an unusual experience. Sitting in their patrol car at 2:30am they suddenly saw a strange object hovering about 75-150 metres in the air above the car. The officers thought it looked like the underside of an airplane and they noticed that their communication systems had ceased to function. Intrigued, the officers followed it as it moved slowly away, eventually disappearing behind some tall trees a few minutes later " (extract from article). It also gives us more information abou the 15 year old's sighting (for instance the figures were about 60cms tall?)
UPDATE: 24th February
SUFOI has an interesting article entitled " Exciting release of Air Force UFO Archives "; in the article it links to a PDF file, translated into English " Air Force opens UFO files ".
For instance it mentions the photo (see below), was analysed by both SUFOI and TAC, and was found to be created from a steam leakage, from a nearby power station.
(photo from Viborg 1974)
The Danish Air Force magazine (feb 2009) has an article on UFOs in the pdf here (page 30 and 31)… in Danish.
This entry was posted on January 30, 2009 at 12:25 am and is filed under "Flying Saucer", are we alone?, chinese lanterns, Danish UFO Files, Danish UFO sightings, flying Disk, IFO, news, newspapers, science, ufo, UFO Documents/archives, ufo research, ufo updates, ufo's, world UFO sightings.

Kristina and Karissa Shannon -- a.k.a. The Shannon Twins -- have made the unlikely step from Playboy reality show starlets to actual stars of a respectable movie.
As if it were some sort of indie-movie master plan, "The Girls Next Door" blonde-duo hold down serious screen-time in Sofia Coppola's "Somewhere."
"Sofia says it was meant to be," Kristina tells PopcornBiz.
Indeed, fate and Google lent helping hands. Coppola was not aware of the wildly popular E! programs detailing the lives of Hugh Hefner's various female/blonde housemates when she went casting for the part of hot twins for the movie about an actor living in the decadent Chateau Marmont.
"She just went on the computer and Googled twins," Kristina explains. "And me and Karissa's pictures popped up. We're like the only hot twins out there besides the Olsen twins."
The two met with Coppola who immediately snapped up the duo. The director decided that the "girl-ier" twin Kristina was right for the part of Stephen Dorff's dancer/girlfriend. Karissa plays her fellow dancer/twin sister.
"I was cool with it," Karissa says about not getting the bigger part, "She's girl-ier than me. I'm more tomboyish."
Kristina says that during the shoot, Karissa would give the kind of advice only a sister can give. "Sofia would let her watch the monitor while me and Stephen were filming. Karissa would then tell me you look better when you do this or that. We were all working together."
Ever since filming the movie, the girls have the acting bug in a serious way. While they'll continue their adventures with Hugh on the next series "Bunnies Next Door," they both are hoping to break out into other roles.
"Ever since we filmed the movie it became my new passion," says Kristina. "Reality is so easy."
"The movie is going to be iconic."

(Reuters) - An advisory panel to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration said on Tuesday that available evidence does not prove that the painkiller naproxen, sold under the brand names Aleve and Naprosyn, carries a lower cardiac risk than rival products.
The panel was convened after a retrospective analysis from multiple clinical trials published last year in The Lancet suggested naproxen was less dangerous to the heart than other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, or NSAIDs, such as ibuprofen and Celebrex.
Panelists recommended the FDA leave the current product labeling as is, at least pending the outcome of a large ongoing study, known as Precision, that compares naproxen with ibuprofen and Celebrex. The FDA is not bound to follow the advice of its advisory panels, but typically does so.
The FDA's final decision could have wide implications for the way in which these drugs are prescribed and used in the future, and it will have implications for whether the Precision trial is able to continue.
The panel voted 16-9 that while the retrospective combining of results from different studies, known as meta-analysis, hints at a relative benefit for naproxen over other NSAIDs, the data is not reliable and does not warrant changing the prescribing information to reflect a differentiated risk.
"Meta-analyses are good for raising questions but not settling them," said panelist Dr. Sanjay Kaul, a cardiologist and professor at UCLA School of Medicine.
In 2005 the FDA determined that all NSAIDs should carry a warning about cardiovascular risk but said there was no evidence that the drugs carried different levels of risk. While the panel agreed that more information has come to light since then, they are looking to Precision to answer the question once and for all.
Naprosyn is a prescription product sold by Roche Holding AG, while Aleve is sold over the counter by Bayer AG. Ibuprofen is marketed as Advil by Pfizer Inc and Motrin by Johnson & Johnson. Celebrex is a prescription product made by Pfizer.
Over-the-counter generic versions of both naproxen and ibuprofen are also available.
One of the key questions in front of the panel was whether to modify the Precision trial, which has been going on for seven years at the request of the FDA. The trial is being funded by Pfizer and run by the Cleveland Clinic.
Dr. Steven Nissen, chairman of the clinic's Department of Cardiovascular Medicine and lead investigator on the Precision study, told the panel the trial has enrolled nearly 27,000 patients, more than 95 percent of the total needed, and that he expects it to be complete around the end of 2015.
Precision is an academically directed trial whose scientific governance resides with an unpaid independent executive committee, Nissen said, and represents the best opportunity to date to answer long-standing questions about the safety of NSAIDs that the FDA has been wrestling with since the withdrawal of Merck & Co.'s Vioxx a decade ago after it was linked to an increased risk of heart attack.
Dr. Garret FitzGerald, director of the Institute for Translational Medicine and Therapeutics at the University of Pennsylvania who helped craft the meta-analysis published in The Lancet, told the panel that waiting for the Precision results would shed little light on the relative risk of the drugs.
In the end, the panel recommended waiting for Precision and said there should be no modification to the way the trial is being conducted.

Source Naturals Aloe Verite(TM) tablets are made from freshly extracted aloe vera juice. The aloe plant, also known as Aloe vera or Aloe barbadensis, has been revered for thousands of years. Hieroglyphics show that the ancient Egyptians used aloe. In more recent times, aloe has played an important role in the folk herbal traditions of India, China and Mexico. Aloe is probably one of the most commonly used herbs, as many people keep a plant on the kitchen windowsill for occasional topical use. In vitro studies have shown that aloe reduces the production of several chemical mediators that contribute to body discomfort, such as bradykinin, histamine, thromboxane B2 and prostaglandin F2 alpha.
Aloe's soothing effects may also be due to its salicylate content. This succulent member of the lily family is considered to be safe and nontoxic. The most valuable part of the plant is the gel. It is rich in comforting polysaccharides, such as glucomannans, which are composed of the carbohydrates glucose and mannose. Our unique processing techniques separate the bitter, cathartic yellow latex of the aloe plant from the precious gel, preserving the polysaccharides and removing the undesirable anthraquinones (harsh purgatives found in the latex).
Not from concentrate: Most aloe concentrates have been boiled, a process that destroys many of the long-chain polysaccharides, known as mucopolysaccharides. Aloe Verite(TM) is processed in a manner that assures that all the heat-sensitive nutrients of the aloe plant remain potent.
