1. Ways of contributing
There are many different ways to contribute to Frugalware. You can write documentation, translate the existing documentation into your native language (or any other language you want to), maintain packages or improve them with added features etc.
If you are a programmer you can help us in developing our applications. These are: pacman-g2, gfpm, fwlive, frugalwareutils, setup etc. See git.frugalware.org for different project repositories.
You can also start new projects. If you show some code we can surely host your project too if it's Frugalware related. For example you want to write kfpm :)
|After each title in brackets you can find the target audience.
1.1. Translations (translators)
You can read the details on our Translations documentation page.
1.2. Necessary documentation (packagers, coders)
In the first part I will cover the information necessary for those who do not have developer status yet.
In the second part we will set up the necessary config files.
First of all, we ask you to read the following documentation carefully. If you do not want to deal with packages, but just want to code it's usually enough to read the git documentation as we store our code in git repositories.
man makepkg
man pacman-g2
man repoman
man FrugalBuild
man fwmakepkg
I know, it is boring reading documentation, but you have to know that writing it is even worse so do not ask questions when the answer in the documentation. If you can not understand something feel free to join #firstname.lastname@example.com and ask.
1.3. Downloading and setting up the repositories
1.3.1. Getting the frugalware-current repo (packagers)
The frugalware-current repo is the development repo for the packages.
When you want to get it you need the git package. Let's get it:
# pacman-g2 -S git
Now create a git directory where you can hold all your repos. You can choose any other name of course.
$ mkdir -p ~/git
$ cd ~/git
Now clone the repo with git:
$ git clone http://frugalware.org/git/pub/frugalware/frugalware-current current
$ cd current
Now be patient while git clones all the objects and then checks out the files. Also you can use other mirrors as well.
1.3.2. Getting pacman-g2 and other code (coders)
First of all you need the repo of the program. In this example I will use pacman-g2, but the steps are very similar. NOTE: Most of our programs need the translations repo to compile)
$ mkdir -p ~/git
$ cd ~/git
$ git clone http://frugalware.org/git/pub/other/translations (optional)
$ git clone http://frugalware.org/git/pub/other/pacman-g2/pacman-g2
$ cd pacman-g2
1.3.3. Setting up the repository and sending patch via email (packagers, coders)
Now you should setup up your identity.
$ git config --global user.name "Your Name"
$ git config --global user.email email@example.com
$ git config branch.master.rebase true
Now you can make your changes. When finished run
$ git diff
in the repository.
|You can also use git diff . (note the dot in the end). In that case git will show the changes recursively in the current directory. It is very handy when you have lot of uncommitted changes in your repo.
If you are satisfied with the changes run
$ git commit -a
to commit all your changes.
If you want to cherry-pick hunks from your changes:
$ dg record
or using native git commands:
$ git add -p; git commit
Without committing your changes you can not send nor push (just developers) it.
|With frugalware-* repos it's recommended to use repoman rec which is a wrapper for dg record. It sets up the patch name properly so you only need to deal with the details.
|Here you can find more details on how to write good commit messages in general using git.
Here comes the final step. Send in the patch(es)!
$ git format-patch <hash>
$ git send-email --to firstname.lastname@example.com .
<hash> is the
sha1 of the last patch you do not want to submit. Run
$ git log
and you'll see the hash. Also, you can just use your existing mail client and send the patch(es) as an attachment.
If everything goes fine your patch should show up on the frugalware-devel mailing list soon.
|You have to subscribe to the
mailing list and set up your SMTP server properly (if you use
git send-email).
It doesn't really belong to here but I want to document it somewhere. If you are a developer and want to apply such a patch, you need:
Check the patch itself. If the second line is not an empty one, then you need to hand-edit the patch before applying:
Subject: [PATCH] powwow-1.2.13-1-i686
* new package
Subject: [PATCH] powwow-1.2.13-1-i686
* new package
Then you can apply the patch using git-am:
$ cat 0002-powwow-1.2.13-1-i686.patch | git am
You should do this in the root directory of the repository.
1.4. Further options for those who have developer account (packagers, coders)
Once you get a developer account, you have the right to request the following services:
BTS access (so that we can assign tasks to you)
git write access (you'll always get this, except if you are working on the artwork or so)
a @frugalware.org mail address (with imaps/pop3s access)
Public and private devspace. The first is in the
/pub/other/people/nickdir and this is mirrored (you must not put private stuff to there). The later is your
~/public_htmldir: it is not mirrored and there is no backup for it. Though you may temporarily put private stuff to there.
a @frugalware.org jabber account if you want one
What you should do:
You should read the frugalware-devel mailing list. When you're asked, please try to respond.
If you push patches to git, you should subscribe to the frugalware-git mailing list. This is list has a big traffic since a new mail is sent for each patch. If you don't have time to read it, subscribe then set the "I would like to receive no mail" option. Also take care that your subscribing email address is the same one you set using
git config user.email
It's good if you can join the user and developer channel when you're online.
Maintain your packages. Try to resolve your assigned bugs, try to keep your packages up to date, and if you needed patches for packages, send them upstream. If you don't have anything to do for a week that's usually a bad sign. It's - of course - OK when you go for vacation a few times a year, but then please announce it on the developer mailing list so that we won't wait for you when fixing urgent problems, etc.
Document your work. The documentation is worth nothing if it's outdated. Ideally somone who has never contacted us should be able to understand every detail of Frugalware, just from documentation. No secrets! We are not kids.
If you have time, try to read the mailing lists (
frugalware-users*@) and the forums. If you prefer reading the forums from your mail client, there is a bi-directional gateway on the
frugalware-forums@list, use it.
Let us see what you should set up to get it work. I will also give some tips which can make your life easier.
Read this page, we collected a set of tricks when we converted from darcs to git.
1.4.1. Setting up the frugalware-* repos and repoman (packagers)
It is time to set up some necessary things. We start with the frugalware-current repo. Make sure that you are in the root of the frugalware-current repo. Also do not forget to change the username to your login name on git.frugalware.org.
$ git config remote.origin.url 'firstname.lastname@example.com:/home/ftp/pub/frugalware/frugalware-current'
$ git config remote.origin.receivepack "sudo -u repo git-receive-pack"
As you will use
repoman to upload the packages (and many other things as you'll see)
we should set it up now. This step is also necessary. Open ~/.repoman.conf with
your favourite editor and add the following lines:
Where fst_root is the directory where you store your git repos. Username
is your login on git.frugalware.org. For details see
man repoman.
As from now use the following command from package's directory to push your changes.
$ repoman push
It will check the FrugalBuild using fblint, then record your changes, push them, upload the fpms and finally create the changelog, update the fdb etc. So you are done if there was no error message.
1.4.2. Setting up other repos (coders)
In repo's main directory:
$ git config remote.origin.url 'firstname.lastname@example.com:/home/ftp/pub/other/pacman-g2/pacman-g2'
$ git config remote.origin.receivepack "sudo -u owner git-receive-pack"
Do not forget to change the username and repository path. For paths refer to the gitweb interface.
|The owner for
pacman-tools is usually
You should always review what you would push before you perform the action:
$ git fetch
$ git rebase origin/master
$ git log origin/master..master
Then you can use
$ git push
to send in your changes.
dg push wrapper does exactly this for you.

The banjo has long been a favorite instrument in the world of popular music. Initially it may call to mind country and bluegrass music, but you may be surprised to learn that artists from The Pogues to the E Street Band have crafted memorable melodies on these distinct instruments. Of course, a banjo only sounds as good as its strings, and with a wide variety available to you, you're sure to find a perfect sound for your next jam or practice session. You would think that choosing a set of strings would be a simple process, but you wouldn't be entirely correct. There are a few factors to look into when you're picking out your strings. First, you're going to make sure you have the correct number of strings. A pack of four strings won't do a lot of good for your five string banjo, so make sure the package you choose is going to meet your needs. Next, you'll want to think about the gauge of the strings. If you like a stiffer feel to your strings, try the Elixir Medium Polyweb Banjo Strings. Or, if you prefer a lighter tone, you might prefer the D'Addario JS60 Stainless Steel Light Banjo Strings. Maybe you prefer something in between the two? Try the "Almost Medium" stainless steel strings from GHS. There are so many variations that it's best to try a few different gauges to understand which work best for you. Maybe you're more interested in the sounds of a specific artist. If that's the case you will almost certainly be interested in the Earl Scruggs strings from Gibson. Scruggs name is practically synonymous with the banjo and these strings are crafted with the excellent note definition that is signature to his style. In the end, your choice of banjo strings will come down to which ones feel best in your hands. You'll know when you start playing and everything clicks. From Dueling Banjos to Dirty Old Town, your banjo will sound great in no time with a new set of strings.

Hi guys,
I've just joined this excellent forum after spending a few weeks getting to grips with BT3 beta which I have to admit is a fantastic Linux distro and the ultimate pen testing platform.
Anyway, even though I've activated my account I'm not able to post in any forum other than this one - I get a message saying I don't have permission etc.
Is there something I'm missing or does an admin need to look at my account?

A very quick look at Windows 8
OK, so with most of the rest of the curious digirati, I tried Windows 8 beta developer yadda yadda whatever version that was available yesterday from our, ahem, friends in Redmond.
I never thought I'd see a desktop that would make me appreciate Unity.
Windows 8 is the desktop equivalent of the old guy wearing a striped shirt with his plaid Bermuda shorts and white socks with his sandals.

Salomon Salomonder Snowboard Review
This one comes straight from the brain buckets of Jed Anderson and Chris Grenier. It's a no-frills park board that's meant to take all the abuse you can muster, with aluminum tip and tail reinforcements that won't flake out on you. Its blunt twin-tip shape helps stop hang-ups, and the flat camber mixed with a super-soft flex will ensure you give it a proper press.
Price: $370
Category: Park
Sizes: 145, 148, 151, 154, 156
Tester Feedback: "On point—stable and responsive. One of the most fun jib boards."

Thank you to our veterans
I was recently at an event hosted by Facing History‡, an organization that creates history curriculum that teaches kids to be more tolerant. One of the speakers at the event was a girl who received an award for an art project. Her guest that evening was her grandmother, a holocaust survivor. They told an amazing story and I walked away from that event with a renewed commitment to never forget our men and women in uniform.
UMB Bank Colorado honored veterans,
including Staff Sergeant James D.
Shearer, United States Air Force.
As the last of the World War II survivors pass on, I am reminded that my children, and frankly anyone younger than 60, don't really know what it is to sacrifice in a time of war. We are currently in at least two wars right now. But do you notice on a daily basis? The answer is probably no. There are no food rations. Or fuel taxes to support the war. It is a shameful reality of our society.
As our men and women return from combat duty, they are not greeted with a hero's welcome. We expect them to reintegrate into a society that has not acknowledged their sacrifices. Or the sacrifices of their families. These people have volunteered to put themselves in harm's way to protect us. To protect our children. They ensure we can continue to live our lives uninterrupted.
My father served in the Navy and he still maintains the sense of pride they instilled in him so many years ago. It is incredible to see how these veterans have somehow managed to maintain the lost art of social graces and respect. They stand when someone enters the room and say sir and ma'am, while the rest of us seem to have forgotten how to treat each other.
So, what can we do to support these fine men and women? First and foremost, we can say thank you. We can give up our prime seat on an airplane or offer to pick up their sandwich at the local deli. A thank you can go a long way. But it's not enough. There are numerous organizations in your communities that are specifically designated to assist veterans and their families, especially those in need. Below you will find a list of websites and resources in your community.
This has always been a passion of mine, and of UMB's. We celebrate veterans with an annual event across our footprint and help the Marines with their Toys for Tots program. We hire as many veterans as possible. But we could, and should be doing more. Send us your ideas on how we can support veterans in our communities. This is a group effort. We should find as many ways to show our gratitude as possible.
And to veterans past, present and future: Thank you. Thank you for volunteering to protect millions of people you have never met. Thank you for ensuring we have the freedom to express our thoughts and for protecting our rights and liberties. There is no other place in the world where you have the ability to build something; to create a business in our unique free market system. And it is because of these brave men and women. Thank you, from all of us.

— We see it all the time: A young child disappears, and the search is on. Everyone bands together, blanketing the area with missing child posters. Police say it's a critical tool, but think about it: Do you really pay attention to them? Our hidden-camera experiment may change the way you see everything.
A little girl has vanished — Alyssa McAdams, only 10 years old, blonde hair, blue eyes — and the missing child posters are up in a small New York City suburb, and inside a local bakery. But would you notice her if she was standing right next to you? What if a man was berating her, right in front of you?
Desperate parents rely on "missing" posters to get their children home. Police say those posters can save kids' lives — but only if the public pays attention.
We set up an experiment in Mamaroneck, N.Y. Working with police, we printed fake "missing" posters and hung them everywhere from trees to lampposts, even inside Boiano Bakery, a local hot spot we wired with hidden cameras. We even put a camera inside the poster, right at the register.
Here's the good news: Alyssa wasn't really missing. She's an actress who was working with us. We had her walk into the bakery with a strange man holding her by the arm. He was working with us too: Bill Stanton, a security expert. We watched from a control room downstairs with Alyssa's mother and a local police detective, Sandra DiRuzza of the Mamaroneck Police, to see how people would react.
'It was unsettling'
One woman was alarmed at the poster, asking the cashier about it several times. Then Alyssa walked in. The woman immediately looked over at her and seemed to recognize Alyssa as the missing girl. But even after that, we watched as she moved her own young daughter away and left the store without saying a word.
The scenario brought Alyssa's mom to tears. It was time to reveal our experiment. "Did you look at the little girl and make the connection?" we asked the young mother after identifying ourselves.
"I did," the woman said. "I saw that she resembled the picture. It was unsettling."
"But then you didn't do anything about it?"
"Yeah, because I wasn't sure ... I didn't want to insult the gentleman if it wasn't the girl. I didn't want to scare the girl if it wasn't her."
Sandra DiRuzza told us: "We would rather come out and investigate it and have it be nothing versus miss an opportunity to save a child."
And there were some encouraging moments during our experiment. One man saw the poster, saw Alyssa, and didn't waste any time calling police. "There seems to be a missing child in there, which is all over the place on the little flyers," he told a 911 dispatcher.
'It was the wrong thing'
But most didn't call the cops. For example, our "missing" poster clearly got the attention of one woman out with her family, buying Italian ices. She did a double take when she saw Alyssa sitting alone. She did tell the clerk, but the clerk was in on our experiment and played dumb.
Meanwhile, Bill Stanton and Alyssa walked right by her, leaving the store. It was her last chance to stop them, but in the end she didn't, and left with her family.
Again it was time to reveal ourselves. "It looked like you made the connection that that girl was the same girl in the poster," we said. "And then you left the store?"
"I did," the woman said, choking up. "I kind of asked somebody if they confirmed my feeling and they ignored me, so I guess I went on. It was the wrong thing."
At least she noticed the poster. In our experiment, most seemed to miss it entirely, ordering pastries, going about their lives, even with our missing girl just an arm's reach away.
We showed our results to John Walsh. His own son Adam was abducted and murdered more than 30 years ago; now John is a leading crusader for missing children.
"Your investigation makes me sad and it makes mad and it makes me angry," Walsh said. "We need to pay attention, stop for a second, look at that child and thank God it's not your child."
We ran the scenario 16 times, over an entire day. In the end, only three people contacted police. "That's my child, and if she was really missing ... nobody wants to help," Alyssa's mother said. "It's disturbing on many levels."
We also shared our results with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. They said thousands of kids have been saved because somebody noticed the missing child posters, proving how important those posters are. But, they said, our experiment shows people need to pay attention — it's as simple as that — to bring more kids home.


text: I just saw this kicker Justin Medlock, from UCLA on ESPN a little while ago. This guy is awesome. The ball comes off his foot soo fast you just have to see it. The TV guys were talking about how his kicks never get blocked, because of how fast the ball is gone. They were doing a kicking skills comp. and he won by making EVERY kick in the contest. I would have never said this before, but I would even think about a 3rd or a 4th round pick on this guy... Man all I can say is WOW!

Before he moves on to accessories and menswear (both in his plans for the near future), he'll show his Spring 2008 collection. His preppy-inspired sportswear is at once sexy and reserved, feminine and masculine, and playful and sophisticated. Most importantly, he's earned one of fashion's favorite buzzwords—wearable. In creating his spring collection, he wasn't afraid to roll up his sleeves and get to work. Check out how it all came together.

'It's been a week like no other for Tyler Myers.'
Archives for May 2009
Sabres sign Myers
No playoff run, sure, but some good news out of Sabres Land
'"It's great," Larry Quinn, managing partner and minority owner of the Sabres, told ESPN.com on Monday. "A 94 percent renewal in the second week in May is as good as we've ever seen here, even in the times when we were going to the conference finals. It shows the strong support for the team, and I think the season-ticket holders really believe they have a good deal. It's great for us."'
Sabres sign top draft pick Myers
'Myers posted a career-high 42 points in 58 games for the Rockets this season, and was a plus-31.'
Sabres sign 2008 first-round pick
'Myers had five goals and 15 assists with a plus-13 rating in 22 playoff games this spring. He also finished plus-31 with nine goals and 33 assists in 58 regular-season games.'
Sabres sign Myers to three-year pact
'"Tyler is having an outstanding year," Sabres General Manager Darcy Regier said in a statement. "He is a big, strong player who has excellent hockey skills for a 19-year-old player. We're glad to have him signed and look forward to his continued development both on and off the ice."'
Sabres sign Tyler Myers
'Myers (6'8", 215 lbs., 2/1/1990) is about to put the finishing touches on an incredible season, as his Kelowna Rockets of the Western Hockey League have advanced to the Memorial Cup Championship that begins this week in Quebec.'
Bankruptcy ruling could get the Coyotes moving
'There are so many variables, so many possibilities, that anyone predicting who wins this blood-thirsty Battle Royale might as well flip a coin. The result could have far-reaching effects that have the potential to cut into 20 percent of the Sabres' profits, but this case is much bigger than the future of hockey in Buffalo.'
Tellqvist signs with Russian club
'A report out of Sweden said Tellqvist signed for about $1.3 million, up from this season's NHL salary of $800,000.'

The Osprey Brand Team, a group of 10 ambassadors reporting from the field at consumer outdoor events across the country as well as reporting on adventures in their own neck of the woods, checks in with Philip Swiny from Las Vegas. Read Philip's account of climbing the desert classic, Frogland…
4:30 am came way too quick, I was not in the mood to get out of my comfy warm bed, but I knew the sky was going to be blue, the temps were going to be in the high 70's, and there were 5 pitches of Aztec sandstone to be climbed. A quick breakfast and I was off to meet Gregg, the plan for the day was to climb the desert classic, Frogland.
Frogland was established by the Red Rock pioneers Jorge and Joanne Urioste, who almost single handedly established most of the classic long route in the canyons. Visionaries in the Desert climbing scene, they were not scared to explore the unknown and as a result plucked many of the gems that lay hidden in the overlooked Mojave Desert.
Frogland overview: Long, sustained, and deservedly popular, Frogland is one of the best of the moderate climbs in an area renowned for awesome moderates. Varied climbing, a bit of routefinding, and with a slightly runout slab crux, Frogland is a definite challenge for the 5.8 leader. As with other Red Rocks classics, the biggest obstacle is usually the crowds. Luckily, there are some great nearby routes that have long been overlooked, and one of them, an old, long-forgotten Urioste route, which has just been rebolted, is one of the best 5.7 face climbs around (courtesy of supertopo.com).
Being that it is spring break, Gregg and I decided on a 6 am start time, I met him at the gas station near the dirt road entrance which leads in to Black Velvet Canyon just as the sun was raising, and already I was feeling more energized for the day. All I was hoping was that even with our early start we were not going to be stuck in a line of other parties on the route. Only one car in the parking lot, good I thought probably a party on Epinephrine. Even though Gregg was giving me stories of being out of shape and having only climbed ice for the long New England winter, we flew up the approach and in just under 4 hours after leaving the car we were on the summit, basking in the sun and watching other parties, looking like ants approaching from the parking lot.
At 770 feet Frogland is not the longest route in the canyons but it is for sure one of the most popular, for good reason. It has a little of everything, the rock quality in Black Velvet Canyon is by and large of very high quality, desert varnish abounds resulting in great hold, but sometimes slippery feet. The first 3 pitches are primarily 5.7 cracks with the occasional face move thrown in for variety, the first 5.8 crux on the 4th pitch involves a very exposed traverse under a roof, which never seems to get less exciting, and culminates with some thin face moves and an awkward squeeze under a huge chock stone.
It was one of those great days where the weather was perfect, my climbing partner and I moved and worked well together and before we knew it the say was over and we were heading back into the madness that is Las Vegas.

Another Tack: Marie in Morag (JERUSALEM POST OP-ED) By SARAH HONIG 03/16/12)
Source: http://www.jpost.com/Opinion/Columnists/Article.aspx?id=262066
JERUSALEM POST Articles-Index-Top
More than anything, Marie Colvin, who was laid to rest Monday, will be remembered for sacrificing her life for the London Sunday Times circulation figures (albeit pro forma in the name of intrepid reporting on the siege of Homs). Her immortality in the annals of journalism is guaranteed.
With that in mind, itd be especially instructive for us to recall one of her eyewitness accounts which is most pertinent to our own circumstances.
It was published nearly six years ago in April 2006, only a few months after we disengaged from Gaza.
Colvin tossed the truth about our self-bamboozlement directly in our faces. This perhaps was why that specific item generated near-zero resonance among us. Why focus on the unpleasant even if its the straightforward bottom line with profound implications for our possible future follow- up follies? If theres anything we dislike, its to be confronted with evidence of our own inexcusable imbecility.
Colvin unceremoniously gave us the facts. It was left up to us to draw conclusions which our establishment and Left-dominated media scoffed at. Therefore, Colvins singularly unpalatable feature never made our headlines back in the day.
That in itself poses something of a riddle. One would expect our agenda-driven press to lap up her material, because Colvin was never remotely renowned for being a lover of Zion.
Having gone where few men dared and promoted herself as dedicated to chronicling wars worst, she covered conflicts in Kosovo, East Timor, Chechnya and Sri Lanka, where she lost an eye. In March 2006 she boldly ventured a tad beyond the reinstated Green Line to see what became of Morag, one of the spirited settlements razed by Ariel Sharon and sidekicks Ehud Olmert, Tzipi Livni et al.
Four green flags of the extremist Palestinian party Hamas were flying last week at the gate of a military training camp built on the ruins of Morag, she opened. Inside the camp recruits from the Izzedine al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, ran mock attacks over dunes covered in dry grass. One of them stopped to launch a rocket-propelled grenade.
Colvin stressed that the base is no makeshift encampment. A telecommunication tower rises from a dune; loudspeakers broadcast from masts... the stones from the old homes have been painted white and used to make guardhouses.
Even the settlements gate has been cannibalized; now it swings to Toyota pick-up trucks bringing more armed men in uniform.
A senior Kassam honcho who showed Colvin around explained to her that his outfits deadly aims vis-à-vis Israel havent changed one iota since Hamass electoral victory.
The insolence of the unnamed hotshot quoted by Colvin was underscored at exactly that same time by then-Palestinian Authority foreign minister Mahmoud Zahar of Hamas (during the Hamas-Fatah partnership).
In an interview with Chinas Xinhua News Agency, conducted just when Colvin toured the ruins of Morag, Zahar waxed ecstatic about dreams of hanging a huge map of the world on the wall of my Gaza house which would not have a trace of Israel on it.
He exultantly gloried in the dream to have our independent state on all Palestine... This dream will become real one day. I am certain of this because there is no place for the state of Israel in this land.
Official Israel and its retreat-advocating mouthpieces ignored Zahar, but he elaborated his comments in Lebanons Al-Mustaqbal newspaper. The most the Hamas regime can grant Israel, he intoned just as Colvin filed her report, is a temporary cessation of hostilities, in which the Zionist entity would be countenanced temporarily but gradually be pushed into narrower confines.
Borders can only be provisional, because theres no place on earth for the state of Israel.
The very same Zahar was instrumental in negotiating yet another cease- fire a few days ago.
Colvin might not have realized how in sync her Hamas guide was with his bosses, but she obviously didnt misinterpret the mood in what became of Morag. After what she observed and heard, Colvin reckoned that Israelis contemplating the evacuation of West Bank settlements will shiver at the discovery that al-Qassam fighters now live and train on the ruins of a place that was home to 37 Jewish families.
That, however, is where she got it all wrong.
Reasonable folks would indeed be shaken to the core and rebuff those who uprooted the most dedicated of their compatriots in order to facilitate genocidal preparations against the entire national aggregate.
But Colvin misjudged us. Its not that our nonchalance is born of extraordinary courage in the face of adversity. Instead its the product of denial of adversity. We pretend weve nothing to worry about except for the price of cottage cheese and, more recently, of a commonplace chocolate-covered candy bar.
Those who sway Israels public sentiment sanction our featherbrained fixation on the trivial. It serves their purposes that we not dwell on the existential dangers that loom ominously from every direction. Its better to preoccupy our petty plebeian minds with gobbledygook.
Still, to be fair, its not only us. Colvins coverage from Morag made no waves anyplace in the world. This should surely show us that a correspondents output is rarely treated on its merit and certainly not in light of the reality it might unmask. Correspondents are far less influential than myth would have it. They either go with the flow or are washed up.
Its not veracity which counts but whether whats exposed meshes with the trends dictated to news consumers. If the designers of popular political fashion are inimical to Israel or just apathetic about our minimal safety theyll keep the masses eyes wide shut even when assorted Colvins present opportunities to enlighten them.
Conversely, when the Colvins of the world barely enhance common knowledge, as in the Syrian slaughter narrative, their truisms are sanctimoniously and unstintingly reverberated if they suit the zeitgeist.
That said, careless inattentiveness is foremost our sin. Foreigners are hardly likely to bother about what predominantly imperils Israel. Thats apart from the issue of fundamental morality.
Our fellow democracies keep prodding us to risk our very survival in return for ephemeral verbiage (in the best case) and often not even that.
They pressure us arrogantly and condescendingly as if they do in actual fact know whats best. All the while, its no skin off their noses if dire consequences from their non-too-friendly advice befall us.
The Iranian nukes-in-the-making are a trenchant case in point. For much of the free world a nuclear Iran is an inconvenience. Better it wasnt so. Nevertheless, the real fly in the international communitys ointment isnt a potential genocidal strike on Israel but a preemptive strike by Israel.
Hence the worlds energies are homed in on stopping those troublemaking Jews from upsetting everyone elses equanimity.
For some, like US President Barack Obama, a deceptive calm is way preferable to shattering the illusion. With an election campaign around the corner, Obama has reluctantly put out the welcome mat for Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu. His seeming civility is quite a departure from March 2010. Then, with no campaign to mitigate his unmistakable aversion, Obama heaped unprecedented protocol-abuse on Netanyahu, going so far as to summarily walk out on him mid- conversation in order to have dinner.
But two years later, we get a rhetorical rampup against Iran to soften the sit-tight admonition against Israel. The ostensible show of camaraderie isnt merely geared to hoodwinking Jewish voters. Diplomatic dawdling is essential for Obama to curtail oil-price hikes ahead of Election Day (November 6) even if this eventually kills Israelis. Our life-or-death interests take a back seat to his political interests.
Its not that were trigger happy to hit Iran (Wed suffer the vindictive backlash) but that the window of opportunity is narrow. Obamas political calendar precludes timely preventative action.
Obamas demand is plainly that we subordinate our sovereignty to his reelection schedule. The cruel choice is either lose Obamas backing (even if its merely nominal) or forfeit our self-reliance.
No syrupy speechifying can cover this up.
Its our self-preservation on the line, as distinct from that of any professed well-wisher overseas.
We cannot afford to fall for the insincerity lavished upon us when expedient by Obama or anyone else.
The disingenuous counsel liberally dispensed by talking heads and scribblers here and abroad mustnt distract us from this realization. Opinions are drummed up not because of their objective unassailability but because of vested interests.
This is as basic now as it was when Colvin visited Morag.
We dont hear all the news. We get a glimpse of what those with media clout choose to play up. They chose not to play up Colvins report.
Our media aids and abets our escapist penchants.
Colvin received no proper hearing in the country that surrendered Morag to cold-blooded mass murderers.
Hence it took countless rocket barrages, ambushes, mega-scale gunrunning and violent clashes to impress average Israelis with the truth decidedly in defiance of opinion-molders whose latest line is to suggest that Hamas is a tolerable interlocutor, despite explicitly preaching for our absolute obliteration.
They must be laughing out loud in Gaza just like they were during Colvins stopover. It was coincidentally just then that Hamas chieftain Khaled Mashaal stated in a Lebanese TV interview that Israel lacks the stamina to withstand a protracted struggle.
Were Israel strong, it wouldnt withdraw, Mashaal explained. But Israel did withdraw and speaks of more pullbacks. Israel is in deep crisis. It cannot defeat the Palestinians nor break their spirit.
This is the morale-boosting message Israel sends its foes whenever it dithers and dallies on Iran or when it accedes to the premise that it must cede strategic assets to still-viable enemies.
Unbeaten armies dont give up vital holdings, especially in an unconcluded war. Thats how conventional logic operates. Even Mashaals logic. You cant fault him for not figuring us out.
You cant fault Colvin either. Her assumptions about what should have sent shivers down our spines were based on the norm. Israelis, though, are an anomaly. No one else like us in the world. www.sarahhonig.com (© 1995-2011, The Jerusalem Post 03/16/12)

Ratings for Dr. Phillip R. Fleshner
Without a doubt Dr. Fleisher has improved my quality of life. The surgery be performed allowed me to return to a much more normal and pain free life. Very honest and straight forward.
This man, together with the gastroenterologist who pushed me into this surgery, ruined my life. For the colectomy and J-pouch surgery, he performed an outmoded and primitive technique of scraping out the entire rectum--called a mucosectomy--which once was thought to avoid cancer but has been found to make no difference except to increase incontinence in the patient's life. I was not informed there was an alternative tissue-sparing option done with staplers that has better outcome. Surgeon at Cleveland Clinic said this operation is hardly done, especially in people over 50. I had to have an emergency laparotomy after the hookup for infection. Secondly, this is rare, but the colectomy left me with such malabsorption that I have to be on TPN the rest of my life. I have "functional short bowel syndrome" although no small intestine was removed and is not accounted for by the pouchitis I also have. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles2780069/ www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/pmc1570587/
Dr. Fleshner is the best surgeon! My quality of life has greatly improved since her performed my surgery. He does not waste time, and his serious somewhat brash personality might come across as rude, but he actually has a great sense of humor. I would much rather have a skilled "rude" surgeon cutting me open, than a less skilled surgeon with great bedside manner. He is amazing!
Best doctor ever for this. At a time when I was literally almost dying, he saved my life. Eight years later and life is good! He has a vey casual manner and that worked for me.
This man saved my life. I have an advanced case of crohn's and my intestines were mangled. He performed a surgery on me that most would have screwed up. He is a genius and has my utmost respect!
Dr. Fleshner was the rudest most insentive doctor I have ever met. He needs to take a good long look in the mirror and think about how he treats patients. I have had many surgeries and met many doctors in my life and he would rate at the very bottom. His behavior is inexcusible.
Simply the best. My first surgeon did his best but didnt know what to do after 2 surgeries, he then referred me to Dr. Fleshner. Fleshner took over and saved my life! Now I just go get checked up every once in a while to hear his jokes. He is the best colon-rectal surgeon and always caring.
This surgeon saved my life. I unfortunately live in San Diego and had to have surgery for my Crohn's disease. My surgeon didn't know what he was doing and I got sicker than ever. Finally, I was referred to Dr. Fleshner and he saved my life. He has the BEST bed-side manner and he knows what he is doing. He works out of Cedar's Senai in Los Angeles and I've recommended two friends to him who also had great results. If you know anybody who has to have surgery for colitis and/or crohn's or colon surgery, this guy knows what he is doing. Thank you Dr. Fleshner :-)
This doctor is excellent! I hate doctors so I don't give this compliment often. He took such good care with my husband...i can't thank him enough. If we ever have to go through this surgery again I would only see dr. Fleshner.
He is actually a colo-rectal surgeon, not a GI. He saved my child's life. We would have gone anywhere in the country for the very best but we didn't have to, he was here! If you need j-pouch surgery he is the man to do it. I know many others who have had surgery elsewhere, including the MAYO clinic, and have had poor outcomes. Everyone who I know that has gone to Dr. Fleshner has had a great outcome. He is always on time. He doesn't offer up very much information so be sure to come with your questions ahead of time. And he doesn't take many insurance plans. But when it comes to this surgery you don't want to mess around, spend the money!

In fact, a Johns Hopkins study found from 1999–2002, only 28% and 32% of American adults met the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) guidelines for fruit and vegetable intake respectively. Yet, scientists are increasingly telling Americans that they must consume these kinds of plants in order to avoid a myriad of age-related problems. Life Extension Mix contains 94 unique vegetable, fruit, herbal extracts, amino acids, vitamins, and minerals. This state-of-the-art multinutrient formula has been updated numerous times since its launch in 1983. The Life Extension Mix formula is fortified with botanical extracts that help maintain healthy cells via physiological processes. Consumption of these types of plants is being recommended based on research emanating from the world's most prestigious medical centers. The latest Life Extension Mix formula contains upgraded forms of chromium and folate, and a new ingredient called C3G, an antioxidant derived from blackberry and blackcurrant extracts which has been shown to support eye health, especially in low light conditions. Antiaging benefits of pterostilbeneLife Extension Mix includes trans-pterostilbene. This compound, found naturally in blueberries and grapes, has been shown to have beneficial antiaging effects on gene expression and to promote healthy cognitive function. According to Dr. Agnes Rimando, a leading expert in the biology of stilbenes (resveratrol, pterostilbene and other related compounds), "Stilbenes have diverse pharmacological activities which include enhanced insulin sensitivity, and increased lifespan." Pyridoxal 5'-PhosphateWhen sugars react with your body's proteins, the result is the formation of non-functioning cross-linked structures, called advanced glycation end products (AGEs). While glycation is a normal consequence of aging, it is far from desirable. In fact, similar glycation or "browning" reactions (called the Maillard reaction) occur in cooking meat when proteins combine with the sugars present. This same "cooking" process happens at a slower rate to your body's proteins! The blurring of our eye lens with aging is a result of a lifetime of glycation reactions. Glycation is also associated with arterial blood flow problems and long-term kidney issues. The pathological effect of glycation can also be seen outwardly in the form of cross-linked proteins in senescent skin. Pyridoxal 5'-phosphate is the metabolically active B6 that has been shown to protect against protein and lipid glycation reactions. Life Extension Mix provides 100 mg of pyridoxal 5'-phosphate in each daily dose. Standardized pomegranate extractThe pomegranate extract contained in Life Extension Mix is standardized to provide the biologically active punicalagins that are so unique to this fruit. Pomegranate punicalagins are 100% water-soluble and have shown a remarkable 95% absorption rate. When tested against popular antioxidant food extracts, pomegranate demonstrated one of the most potent free radical-suppressing effects. This means that pomegranate punicalagins not only absorb much better than other natural antioxidants, but they also have a superior antioxidant capacity. Peer-reviewed published human studies show that pomegranate helps maintain healthy cardiovascular function by enhancing the endothelial nitric oxide synthase bioactivity, and inhibiting the oxidation of LDL cholesterol. Pomegranate also has the unique property of helping to maintain healthy DNA structure in the prostate cells. The daily dose of Life Extension Mix provides the equivalent of consuming up to 2.6 ounces of pomegranate juice— but without the sugar calories. Standardized blueberry extractsBlueberry anthocyanins are potent natural antioxidants that have demonstrated properties that extend well beyond suppressing free radicals. For instance, blueberries have been shown to not only improve memory but to also undo some of the age-related changes seen in aging neurons. One study showed that the ability of blueberries to suppress free radical damage in the brain was analogous to long-term calorie restriction. These findings hint that blueberries might be able to reverse certain aspects of brain aging! Blueberry's other active constituent (pterostilbene) promotes healthy lipid and glucose levels for those already within normal range. Even more exciting is that these blueberry constituents (pterostilbene and anthocyanins) may help protect DNA structure. Life Extension Mix provides the standardized blueberry extracts that provide the most active constituents found in this health-promoting fruit. Standardized green tea extractLife Extension introduced green tea extract as a supplement in 1993 based on epidemiological studies showing that people who consumed green tea had lower incidences of common age-related problems. Over the past 14 years, an enormous volume of positive studies has been published about the health benefits of green tea. Scientists have looked at the active polyphenol constituents of green tea and have found that they possess remarkable biological activities that include inhibiting LDL oxidation and neuronal peroxidation, while maintaining healthy DNA structure. Life Extension Mix contains 325 mg of a decaffeinated green tea extract that is standardized to provide 98% of the active polyphenols that scientists attribute to green tea's multiple health benefits. The amount of polyphenols, especially epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), in Life Extension Mix is equivalent to drinking about three to four cups of green tea per day. Standardized vegetable extractsLuteolin is a flavonoid found in parsley, artichoke, basil, celery, and other foods. When measured against 27 other flavonoids, luteolin provided one of the highest levels of DNA protection. One favorable mechanism of luteolin is its ability to inhibit oxidative damage to cellular DNA. Another unique benefit is luteolin's ability to suppress excess levels of dangerous inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin-6 and interleukin 1b. Life Extension Mix contains a standardized dose of 8 mg of luteolin, a dose that emulates the benefits seen in published scientific studies. Broccoli is touted as one of the most important vegetables to maintain healthy DNA gene structure. Broccoli contains several active constituents, with sulforaphane being the most significant because of its unique detoxification and DNA-protecting effects. Life Extension Mix provides a concentrated broccoli mixture that provides standardized extracts of sulforaphane and glucosinolates, two compounds attributed to broccoli's multiple protective benefits. Broccoli is also a natural source of gene-protecting chlorophyll. D-glucarate is a botanical extract found in grapefruit, apples, oranges, broccoli, and Brussels sprouts. D-glucarate effectively supports a detoxification process that helps to remove DNA toxins from the body. The daily dose of Life Extension Mix provides 200 mg of D-glucarate. Lutein, an extract found in corn and in leafy greens such as kale and spinach, has been shown to help maintain critical pigments in the eye macula. The carotenoid alpha carotene has demonstrated antioxidant activity greater than beta-carotene, whereas lycopene from tomatoes has shown potent effects in helping to maintain DNA structure and protecting against LDL oxidation. Life Extension Mix contains 60 times more lutein and 10 times more lycopene than popular one-per-day multivitamins. Most multivitamin supplements provide no vegetable extracts whatsoever. Standardized fruit extractsIn addition to standardized pomegranate and blueberry extracts, Life Extension Mix is also fortified with fruit extracts such as bilberry, grape seed, grape skin, and citrus bioflavonoids to provide healthy circulation throughout the body and maintain healthy DNA. Scientists have long touted the multiple benefits of fruits such as blueberry, blackberry, cranberry, plums, elderberry, persimmon, and cherry. Life Extension Mix provides a customized blend of these and other fruits that result in multiple favorable effects in the body, according to numerous studies. Olive oil consumption is one of the important factors behind the health benefits of the "Mediterranean Diet." Researchers have discovered that there are up to 300 times more polyphenol compounds in olive water compared to olive oil. Olive polyphenols have been the subject of numerous in vitro, in vivo, and human studies pointing toward their benefits in many different areas, including protecting against LDL oxidation, suppressing free radicals, and stabilizing cell membranes. Life Extension Mix contains a potent olive extract standardized to provide the best-documented polyphenol, hydroxytyrosol. The amount of hydroxytyrosol in the daily dose of Life Extension Mix is equivalent to drinking more than one ounce of virgin olive oil a day. Sesame lignans enhance the effects of vitamin ESesame and its lignans have a broad range of applications in human health. This includes increasing human tissue levels of gamma-vitamin E by facilitating carrier proteins in the liver to deliver nutrients to cells throughout the body. Sesame lignans increase the beneficial effects of fish oils and help maintain already-normal cholesterol/LDL levels in humans. Life Extension Mix provides 10 mg sesame lignan extract to supply the direct benefits of the lignans, and augment the effects of vitamin E and other nutrients in the body such as gamma-linolenic acid (GLA). Maintaining healthy blood glucose levelsChromium, along with magnesium and biotin, are nutrients required to maintain healthy blood sugar for those already within normal range. In addition to a well-absorbed form of magnesium and high-potency biotin, Life Extension Mix provides 500 mcg chromium from Crominex 3+, a highly stable and biologically active form of the mineral blended with Capros amla and PrimaVie shilajit. A review of studies showing benefits of chromium supplementation reveals that doses exceeding 200 mcg a day are required for optimal effects. High-potency vitamin D3Doctors used to be concerned that too much vitamin D could be toxic. Over the past few years, however, an increasing body of evidence indicates that it takes much higher doses of vitamin D (perhaps over 10,000 IU/day) to result in toxicity in a healthy person. The concern expressed by researchers today is that fear of vitamin D toxicity is keeping many people from supplementing with enough vitamin D, which is critical for maintaining bone density and maintaining healthy cell division. As a matter of fact, a recent review in the New England Journal of Medicine suggested recommended intakes for vitamin D are inadequate and need to be increased to at least 800 IU of vitamin D3 per day.81 Currently, most experts in the field believe that intakes of between 1,000 and 4,000 IU for adults will lead to a more healthy level of serum 25(OH)D, at approximately 32–70 ng/mL. Life Extension recommends that healthy adults supplement each day with at least 1,000 IU of vitamin D. Elderly adults may benefit from higher doses such as 2,000 IU daily, and even up to 5,000 IU daily. In response to this research showing that even those who take standard vitamin D supplements are not obtaining adequate amounts, Life Extension Mix provides 2,000 IU of vitamin D3 per daily dose. A complete multinutrient formulaLife Extension Mix saves time and money by combining the most popular nutrient supplements into one product, eliminating the need to take separate B-complex, vitamins C and E, mineral supplements, and much more that would be required to achieve the same effects. Life Extension Mix supplies the most powerful antioxidants, including water- and fat-soluble vitamin C, vitamin E, and plant extracts that help protect against cellular DNA damage. Other ingredients enhance beneficial DNA methylation patterns, help maintain glycemic control, and help prevent the oxidation of LDL that contributes to the buildup of deposits in the endothelial lining. Life Extension Mix is the cornerstone of a comprehensive supplement program because it provides so many well-studied nutrients. If you are on a budget, the Life Extension Mix provides the best "cost-per-milligram" value. The Life Extension Foundation Buyers Club mandates that the ingredients in Life Extension Mix come only from premium-quality suppliers. These premium companies charge more for their vitamins and trace elements, but the purity of these substances greatly exceeds that of the lower cost generic versions that are so prevalent in the vitamin industry.Life ExtensionLife Extension is a global authority on nutrition, health and wellness as well as a provider of scientific information on anti-aging supplements and therapies. Life Extension supplies only the highest quality nutritional supplements, including minerals, vitamins, herbs and hormones.

What Are Bishop's Transcripts?
An Act of 1598 required Church ministers to make copies of their parish registers and send the copies to their Bishop each month. These copies are known as Bishops Transcripts or occasionally Archdeacon Transcripts, they are extremely valuable when parish registers have been damaged or have not survived the years. The copies were made and sent to the diocese office every year until the mid 1800's.
It should be noted that because the transcripts are copies they are open to errors in copying, to not containing all the information that is in the original registers and on some occasions they may contain more information than in the originals.
There may well be gaps 1649 – 1660, during the Commonwealth period many parish registers ceased to be kept or were hidden away by clergy fearful that they might be removed from the parish. Bishop/Archdeacon's Transcripts were not required to be made during these disruptive times.
Where Can Bishop's Transcripts be Found?
Bishop's Transcripts are usually housed at County Record Offices or County Archives so you should check the websites, sending an email inquiry if necessary.
The Mormon Church (LDS) have filmed many of the Bishop's Transcripts for England and they are available for searching through local Family History centres. There is a charge for ordering the films which may take some weeks to arrive from the main LDS centre. A search of the FamilySearch Catalogue will provide the information as to whether the Bishops Transcripts for the parish of interest have been filmed. The Bishops Transcripts you are wishing to search may have been indexed and be part of the FamilySearch Index so a name search is always worthwhile.
Some Family History Societies have been very active in transcribing Parish Registers and Bishops Transcripts so a search of their website might prove fruitful. The Federation of Family History Societies hold a list of their members and that list can be found using the link below.
Ancestry.co.uk has some Bishops Transcripts images online for inspection, they have been indexed so are easy to use.
If the county of interest is covered by the Online Parish Clerk scheme then the Bishops Transcripts for the parish of interest may have been index/transcribed and be online or available for enquiry through that parish's OPC. A lesson on the Online Parish Clerk Scheme can be found at http://www.teachyourselffamilyhistory.com/online-parish-clerk/
