The Islanders look to rebound after Tuesday's 4-2 loss and continue their run as one of the Eastern Conference's hottest teams. The Islanders are 7-3-0 in their last 10 games and prior to Tuesday's loss, had won four straight overall and seven in a row on the road.
Tonight also marks the Islanders first chance to avenge a 3-2 shootout loss to the Lightning on Dec. 17, a game the Islanders held a late lead. The Lightning are 14-5-2 record at home this season, but have lost three straight at the Forum, which means it may be a prime time to stopover in Tampa.
Lineup Notes/Changes: Poulin in goal. Regin back into the lineup at forward. Martinek in for Carkner at defense. #Isles
Regin In: Peter Regin is back in the lineup tonight and will skate on the second line with Frans Nielsen and Josh Bailey. Regin, a natural center, will skate on the wing.
Regin on playing wing: I have to concentrate on staying on the wall because it's natural to go to the middle... I think [me and Frans Nielsen] have pretty good chemistry. If I go into the middle, he'll read off me and go to the wall.
Hamonic Out: Travis Hamonic will miss his second consecutive game with an upper-body injury.
Martinek In: Radek Martinek draws into the lineup tonight and will be paired with Thomas Hickey. Matt Carkner is out of the lineup tonight. The Islanders removed Martinek from their injured reserve list this afternoon.
Poulin: Kevin Poulin makes his fifth straight start and sixth consecutive appearance for the Islanders. Poulin had his career-high, five-game winning streak snapped in Sunrise, but is playing some inspired hockey and gets the nod from coach Capuano.
Faster Start: The Islanders have given up the first goal in every game on their current road trip and are looking for a faster start against the Lightning:
Martin on tonight's game: We're still really confident in here. I don' t think we thought we were going to go the rest of the season without losing a game... The important thing here is to rebound tonight. It's important that we don't lose two, three, or four in a row. We have to end these things early... We have to come out right off the bat and be ready to play.
Tavares vs. Hedman: Tonight the number one and number two picks in the 2009 draft face off against each other.
Top Line: John Tavares has 17 points (8g/9a) in nine games since returning from a lower-body injury… Thomas Vanek has 18 points (6g/12a) in his last 13 games… Kyle Okposo has 20 points (11g/9a) in his last 16 games.
De Haan: Calvin de Haan is riding five-game point streak (1g/6a).
League Leaders: Andrew MacDonald leads the NHL in blocked shots (163) while Matt Martin leads the NHL in hits (234).
Bishop: Ben Bishop has been a stud this season for Tampa Bay and is posting some of the league's best goalie numbers. Bishop is 23-5-3 with a 1.83 GAA and a league-leading .937 SV%. The Lightning have been good all season, but are better with their 6'6 netminder, as they have gone 9-0-2 in his last 11 starts. The Islanders have a tough task ahead of them tonight, as Bishop hasn't allowed more than two goals in 15 of his last 16 outings.
Stamkos Skates: Steven Stamkos was on the ice for the Lightning's morning skate, his first morning skate since breaking his leg on Nov. 11. Head coach Jon Cooper was pleased to see the progress for his superstar, but there is still no official timetable for his return.
Hedman: Victor Hedman will skate in his 300th NHL game tonight. The second-overall pick in the 2009 draft has 10 goals on the season and has 16 assists.
St. Louis: Lightning captain Martin St. Louis is riding a five-game point streak (3/g/3a).

THE VOICE brightens daily life for hospitalized children - with help from Electro-Voice
A serious illness or injury involving hospitalization, often a frightening experience for children, is typically compounded by boredom and isolation from days or weeks of life in an institutional setting. It's now widely recognized that combating these psychological side-effects of in-patient care can boost patient morale and improve outcomes. With that in mind, Ryan Seacrest — American Idol host, radio personality, and TV producer — established the Ryan Seacrest Foundation (RSF) to enhance the quality of life for seriously ill and injured children. In the case of RSF, the vehicle is a series of broadcast media centers, called THE VOICE, that the foundation is building within pediatric hospitals to enable young patients to explore the creative realms of radio, television, and new media.
The first RSF media center opened recently at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta at Egleston, with another slated to open this summer at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. Each location is designed and equipped as a fully-functional radio and TV broadcast studio, giving child patients the opportunity to actively participate in the hosting and production of live shows that will be seen and heard on closed circuit throughout the hospital. Children in their hospital rooms will also be able to participate by calling in requests and taking part in call-in programs.
Seacrest's broadcast engineer Brian Clark, who works with RSF on THE VOICE project, says the state-of-the-art facilities "wouldn't have been possible" without the support of a variety of broadcast manufacturers, including the contribution by Electro-Voice of RE family broadcast microphones. Seacrest himself has been using the RE27N/D broadcast microphone exclusively since 1995 for all his radio appearances, including his daily radio show.
"I am grateful to Electro-Voice for generously donating their microphones to the broadcast media centers my foundation is building in children's hospitals," Seacrest says. "With their support, we are able to create a positive form of interactive entertainment for young patients that provides them with an opportunity to experience being a disc jockey, play their favorite songs, and even interview celebrities."
Through his discussions with doctors during his visits to children's hospitals over the years, Seacrest learned that when kids are involved in some sort of engaging activity they are less focused on their pain and thus request less pain medication. That solidified Seacrest's determination, Clark says, to give kids in the hospital "a place to go to outside of their room, and also for kids who can't leave their rooms to be able to participate in something by requesting songs and communicating with kids in other rooms."
Clark says that Seacrest thought it would be good to expand the radio station concept into a media center that incorporates both an in-hospital radio station and a video conferencing system. "The station isn't terrestrial," Clark says, "but it connects throughout the hospital. The kids can come in and be DJs, playing any genre of music. They can go down there and get on the mic and start talking to other kids that are in their rooms, who can see them on closed circuit TV. And the kids in the rooms can call down and talk or make requests."
The media centers also provide a place for interviews and appearances by artists and celebrities that are arranged by the foundation and hospital. In Atlanta, that has so far included visits from players on the Atlanta Braves and Atlanta Thrashers sports teams, as well as live performances by artists such as Parachute and American Idol contestants Crystal Bowersox, Kimberly Caldwell, and Kellie Pickler.
Clark adds that the media centers are "physically designed to work well for the kids, and they're large enough that a number of kids, even if they're in wheelchairs, can hang out there to spend some time out of their rooms." The foundation will engage an on-site facility manager at each center and will train students from local high schools and colleges to run the equipment, providing them with the opportunity to gain first hand experience in broadcast operations.
To Clark, the greatest satisfaction of RSF's work is the chance to help brighten the lives of children by taking their minds off of the difficulties inherent in their situation. "You can see how excited the kids are when they come into the media center," he says. "It's great to see them participating in everyday life even though they have to be in the hospital. They really light up, and it's really inspiring to see them smiling despite the challenges of sickness."
About the Ryan Seacrest Foundation
The Ryan Seacrest Foundation (RSF) is a (501) (c) (3) non-profit organization dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for seriously ill and injured children through unique programs that utilize multimedia and interactive platforms to enlighten, entertain, and educate.
RSF's first initiative is to build broadcast media centers, named THE VOICE, within pediatric hospitals for children to explore the creative realms of radio, television, and new media. RSF's aim is to contribute positively to the healing process for children and their families during their stay by developing these centers to bring an uplifting spirit to the hospital community.
The Foundation believes that access to multimedia experiences will bring patients exciting and stimulating adventures to encourage optimiztic thoughts during treatment. It is also RSF's goal to bridge education into its mission by creating internship programs with THE VOICE for students from local journalism schools, colleges, and universities, allowing them to gain first-hand experience in broadcasting and operating a multimedia center.

This pistol came from service with the Yugoslavian State Police in what is now the State Union of Montenegro and Serbia, and comes with its brown leather police holster and cleaning rod. The Soviets pirated John M. Browning's 1903 design and modified and chambered the new pistol for their purposes in the 1930s to replace their revolvers, then shared their milling equipment to entice the Independent Yugoslavs during the Cold War. This pistol is every bit as good as its Russian made counterparts. Several of thisM57's ancestors saw action against the Nazi Army in World War II. Zastava Arms began production in their Kragujevac Serbia plant for Tito's Communist Army in 1957, hence the model name, on Russian Milling Equipment. From this one's J serial number prefix, it was manufactured in 1967, as the State Police addressed death and fallout from the Marburg virus. Its only alien marking is importation stamps located on the left forward section of its slide, and required by the 1968 Gun Control Act. This M57 has moderate surface detractions, mostly holster whitening on the slide edges and palm contact whitening or browning on the grip frame front and back straps. We rate it as Good, perhaps Very Good, 70 to 80 percent vicinity by our estimate; photos, at any rate, ought to suffice for our distinguished shoppers to judge finish grade for themselves. Bore shows strong sharp rifling lands with some dark etchy texture in the grooves, and the chamber and mechanism are clean.As far as Specs, type is blowback single action semi-auto; caliber 7.62x25 Tokarev, and the magazine is outfitted for its original lanyard loop, and capacity is 8 + 1 rounds. Barrel length is 4 1/4 inches with full length steel guide rod; sights are blue steel dovetailed low blade front with u-notch high dovetailed steel rear; weight empty is 28.4 ounces with center of gravity at the trigger guard junction to the grip frame; grips are classic Soviet style serrated polymer. This pistol has a main safety for cocked-and-locked position, but does not have a magazine safety; that is, it will fire a single round even if the magazine is not in battery. Bore shows strong sharp rifling lands with some dark etchy texture in the grooves, and the chamber and mechanism are clean.We're offering this attractive, collectable Zastava M57 for only $ 189.00.

The Health Sciences shuttle bus lurched with the heavy traffic, causing some of the researcher's coffee to slosh unexpectedly out of the "no spill" lid onto her lap.
"Darn this trip back and forth to Harborview," she muttered, wiping ineffectively at the small puddle with the plastic wrapping from her half-eaten sandwich.
The shuttle bus lurched again, but this time she was ready. With the sheaf of paper she had tucked under her arm, she covered the lid.
"Ack! That's my Modification Form!" She cried, as the realization of what she'd done hit her.
"Should have put that in an evelope instead of delivering it in person." Her always-helpful colleage was travelling to the main campus to attend a seminar; he sat right next to her.
"Thanks," she replied dryly. "I really want to get this into HSD! I think one of the IRBs is going to review my initial application next week, and I just realized that the number of subjects I requested wasn't enough..." The researcher trailed off as the sudden sound of a rattling newspaper, and cough, sounded behind her. "Sick people should just stay home..." she muttered under her breath.
"Ahem," the newspaper rustled again. "You should be glad you spilled coffee on that Modification Form."
"Excuse me?" The researcher turned fully around, only to see a giant headline announcing the problems with the Highway 99 tunnel dig.
"Yes, unless the IRB has already approved your application, you really shouldn't be sending in a Modification. There's nothing to Modify, because nothing has been approved. Instead, you should send in that Modification right after you receive your approval." The voice squeaked out from behind the paper.
"Oh, really?" She asked. "I wish I'd known that before coming over here from Harborview." The bus pulled up to the curb at one of the shuttle stops.
"And here's a napkin." A hand holding a compost-able napkin from UW Food Services snaked out from behind the newspaper.
"Thank you." The researcher smiled, but before she could turn fully around, the stranger was out the open shuttle door and gone.
"Oh well," said her colleague. "You'll always have the Health Sciences Express."

Chapter One
Print this PageShe was back.
Tyler Jakes reined in his horse and watched Eden March's blue Tahoe stop in her grandfather's driveway. When Ira March had passed away two months ago, Eden had been home just long enough to take care of her grandfather's affairs before she'd left town, much as she was known to do. Staying in their small hometown of High Cotton, Texas, for any length of time wasn't her style.
But now she'd returnedand she wasn't alone, he noted as a white Suburban pulled up behind her. He peered closer at the sign on the car: a real estate agent.
What the ?
If she had plans to sell, he would have a say in that. He'd leased the land from Ira to grow corn and had already plowed and prepared the land for planting. He needed every dime from those crops, and he wasn't about to let Eden cut him out of the deal.
Kneeing his horse, Tyler galloped toward the barbed wire fence that surrounded the fifty-acre property. He dismounted, tied Champ to a post and strolled through the gate toward them. Eden was talking to the lady and didn't spot him until they turned and started walking to the house.
Pushing her sunglasses to the top of her head, she frowned. "Why is it when I come home you're always here?" Her blue eyes flashed with anger as they often did when she spoke to him. Ira had called her his beauty, and she was certainly that, with flowing blond hair and features that had to have been created when God was in a good mood. No question she'd been blessed in the looks department, but in others he'd always thought she was flighty and irresponsible, constantly flitting from one harebrained scheme to another. While he had to pick up the pieces.
He cleared his throat. "I take care of the place."
"Who gave you permission to do that?" The sun picked out the silver highlights of her hair and he was mesmerized for a second.
"Your grandfather did."
"Pa isn't here anymore and I'd appreciate it if you'd stay off my property." She marched up to the door, twisted the knob and pushed. The door didn't open. She tried again. No luck. She swung toward him. "It's locked."
"Seems like it. Don't you have a key?"
The smooth lines of her face crunched into a bigger frown. "I suppose, but I'm not sure where it is. Pa always kept the door open." Her baby blue eyes caught his. "I'm betting you have one."
He jammed a hand into his jeans pocket for the key. Strolling to her side, he shoved it into the lock and opened the door. Eden didn't move. She stood right at his shoulder, and a delicate fragrance reached him. For a moment he had difficulty concentrating.
She held out a hand, palm up. It didn't take a rocket scientist to figure out what she wanted.
He laid the key in her palm.
"Thank you. And from now on, please, stay away."
But Tyler wasn't leaving it at that. Not when he had so much at stake. He offered his hand to the real estate lady, who seemed to be rendered speechless by the interaction between Eden and Tyler. "I'm Tyler Jakes. I own the property next door."
"Mona Parker." The older woman eyed him. "Oh, yes. You're the rodeo guy."
"Used to be. I'm a farmer and rancher now."
"And he was just leaving," Eden said.
Mona looked around. "How many acres with the house?"
"Fifty," Eden replied.
"That will be a big draw. People like a country setting where they can have horses and ride four-wheelers."
"That is not happening," Tyler interrupted. "I lease those fifty acres and no one is riding ATVs over my crops."
Eden stared at him, dumbfounded. "What are you talking about?"
"I leased the land from Ira."
"But Pa is dead, surely whatever agreements he made aren't still binding."
"Ira's word is binding to me."
Eden paled.
"This is a problem," Mona said, pushing her glasses up the bridge of her nose. "Do you have a contract, Mr. Jakes?"
Tyler was about to respond and make darned sure that he quashed Eden's attempt to sellor at least stalled itwhen he saw Chance Hardin drive into his yard. Chance was the foreman of the Southern Cross ranch. If he was in Tyler's driveway, it probably meant he had a job for Tyler. The large Southern Cross ranch was located across the road from Tyler's small spread, making it easy for him to pick up extra jobs. And since he needed every spare cent, he had to cut this short.
"I I have to go. But I'd love to tell you all about my long-term agreement with Ira. Do you have a business card?"
Mona fished in her purse and handed one to him. "We really should get this straight. Ms. March, didn't you say you were in a rush?"
Before Eden could respond, Tyler suggested, "How about if we meet here at nine in the morning?"
"That's fine with me," Mona replied.
Eden stepped to the side so only he could hear. "If you ruin this for me, I'll never forgive you."
"Well, Eden, lucky for me that forgiveness is not something I need from you." He tipped his hat to the ladies and strode over to meet Chance.
After Tyler and Mona left, Eden locked the door and flipped on a light. Her anger at Tyler disappeared as she stood in the living/kitchen area and soaked up the ambience of her grandparents. Two recliners sat facing a huge fireplace and a TV. The scent of Pa's pungent pipe still lingered. A moment of sadness and loneliness hit her. She ran across the hardwood floor, down the hall to their bedroom and fell into a big feather bed.
It was soft, heavenly, and she could almost feel her grandmother's arms around her.
"Everything will work out, Beauty."
That's what she'd said when Eden's parents, after ten years of marriage, had decided to divorce and go their separate ways. There was just one problemwhat to do with Eden. Without much thought they'd left her with her father's parents.
After Eden got over the shock of their abandonment, she realized it had been a good decision. Her parents had argued constantly and her life had been in turmoil. Her grandparents, by contrast, had never argued. They were a stabilizing force for Eden. She went to school in High Cotton, made new friends and started a new life, blooming in the love and attention that her grandparents showered on her.
But there was a big, pesky fly in her happinessTyler Jakes.
He was a child of a single mom, his father having died when he was young. Pa had been an agriculture teacher and Tyler was one of his favorite studentswhich meant Tyler was at their house asking Pa questions about growing coastal and corn, and what was the best feed his mom should buy for their cattle, and on and on. Her grandfather doted on him. When he was around, Eden felt invisible.
Even though Tyler was six years older, they always seemed to be competing for her grandparents' attention. She'd had a brief moment of happiness when Tyler graduated high school and joined the rodeo circuit. But two short years later, Tyler's mom had remarried and moved away, and Tyler quit the rodeo circuit to come home and run the ranchwhich meant he spent even more time at their house, soaking up Pa's knowledge.
She tried not to be jealous, but there didn't seem to be anything she was good at, nothing that made her feel special. Nothing in High Cotton, anyway. And by the time she turned eighteen, she couldn't wait to get away. She took fashion and design classes in Austin, still unsure what she really wanted to do. Her grandparents always told her how beautiful she was, so she changed courses and devoted every moment to studying acting and modeling.
She headed for Hollywood to test her skills, but soon found there were thousands of girls more beautiful, more talented and more driven. But finally she landed a bit in a commercial and called home to tell her grandparents, wanting to prove to them that she could succeed. But they were more excited that Tyler had gotten married. She got a gig modeling for a catalogue and once again called home, only to be met with the news that Tyler and his wife had had a child. Everything she did seemed to pale in comparison to Tyler's life. A bit in a commercial and a brief job modeling did not equal success.
But Eden March was nothing if not determined. She'd be a success yet. And now she had the ticket to that success. One day about two years ago, she'd gone to a craft store on a lark, bought supplies and started making her own jewelry pieces. People continually stopped her to ask about them and almost overnight she was making and selling her jewelry to craft stores and boutiques.
Around the time her grandmother had passed away, one of the store owners had urged her to go to New York and sell her designs to the fashion industry. Eden knew as soon as the woman had said it that it would be her break. She'd gone home for her grandmother's funeral and to grieve with Pa, but hadn't said a word to him about her new career, wanting to have something to show for it first. Only he'd died before she could even get the money together. But that's why she was homethe sale of the house would give her enough capital to get started. It was her chance to prove to her grandparents, if only in spirit now, that she could be as big a success as Tyler. They would be proud of her. She was so close and this time she wouldn't fail.
She ran her hand over the handmade quilt on the bed. Her grandmother had made it. So many memories were in this old house. Could she let it go?
Getting up, she walked into the kitchen and glanced out the window. She could see Tyler talking to Chance Hardin. Tall and lean, Tyler had brown eyes and hair and a swagger that was typical cowboy. She supposed he was handsome in a rugged sort of way. But she had never thought of him in that way.
He'd always been her archenemy. And judging from the way he'd seemed intent on torpedoing her appointment with the real estate agent, nothing had changed. But this time, she'd be the one who came out on top.

Blue Apron hires bankers for IPO: sources
SAN FRANCISCO Blue Apron, the biggest U.S. meal kit company, has hired investment bankers to lead its 2017 initial public offering, according to people familiar with the matter.
ABU DHABI Abu Dhabi's two biggest property firms, Aldar Properties and Sorouh Real Estate, have agreed on a state-backed, all-share merger that would create a firm with $15 billion in assets and could help to stabilize the emirate's struggling real estate sector.
The tie-up between Aldar ALDR.AD, which has been bailed out by the Abu Dhabi government over the past two years, and Sorouh SOR.AD creates the second largest listed property firm in the United Arab Emirates.
Sorouh shareholders would receive 1.288 Aldar shares for every share in Sorouh, which will be delisted once the merger, which is subject to shareholder approval, is completed, the companies said on Monday.
Sorouh shares jumped 8 percent on the Abu Dhabi exchange after the announcement, while Aldar dipped 1.8 percent.
"The proposed merger will create a stronger and more diversified company to take advantage of future opportunities in Abu Dhabi and other regional markets in the coming years," the companies' statement said.
The merger will provide up to 110 million dirhams ($30 million) in annual cost savings while the companies expect one-off integration costs of about 60 million dirhams, Sorouh said.
Sorouh also said the Abu Dhabi government would pay it 3.2 billion dirhams in exchange for some infrastructure assets and units in the company's The Gate development.
With the support of Abu Dhabi, which owns a major stake in Aldar, managements of the two companies had held talks for nearly a year on asset valuations, financial terms and the new management structure.
Aldar, which built Abu Dhabi's Yas Marina Formula One motor racing circuit, has relied heavily on the government in recent years for funding. Abu Dhabi has spent more than $10 billion on the company, equivalent to the amount it deployed to rescue Dubai from a bond default in 2009.
Goldman Sachs (GS.N) and National Bank of Abu Dhabi NBAD.AD are advisors to the steering committee overseeing the proposed tie-up. Credit Suisse CSGN.VX advised Aldar while Morgan Stanley (MS.N) worked with Sorouh.
The merger between the two firms comes as Abu Dhabi's property market continues to struggle with a huge supply of high-end homes that entered the market last year.
Shares in Aldar and Sorouh have more than doubled in the last year in anticipation of the merger.
"A lot of investors would like to see Sorouh management stay in place - which might drive the share price going forward," said Amer Khan, fund manager at Shuaa Asset Management. "The government backing and ownership makes the merged entity an even more attractive play for long-term real estate.
"What matters now is the management structure, the synergies and the balance sheet. There's a difference between government support and executing well on a profitability plan, and that remains to be seen."
Abubaker Seddiq Al Khouri, Sorouh's managing director, is proposed to be chairman of the merged company.

So, my budget is 100$ and I want open headphones. I'll be using it mainly for movies and music, sometimes for gaming. My pc doesn't have a fancy sound card and I don't want to spend money on it or amp, so I think I should look for headphones with 32 ohm impedance. I was planning to buy Sennheiser HD 555, but it has 50 ohm impedance. What should I buy?

Grafburn cd burner - new version 0.10.1
EDIT: new version 0.10 -
* Added support for cue and toc files
* Added workaround for drives that must use -raw mode as opposed to -sao
* Allow files to be symlinked into temp directory
* Greatly simplified burning dialog moving everything into one window
* Total rewrite of preferences dialog usig gtkdialog, all into one window now
* Use the system default drives set up using the burning wizard
* Implemented appending tracks to multisession disks
* Rewrote most of the audio cd interface in gtkdialog - more streamlined
* Made relocation of the application directory easier
* Implemented version upgrades
* Created a nicer "About" screen
This is a dead simple gui for creating cd's and dvd's, basically just a couple shellscripts that call the command line tools. It was born out of my frustration with Puppy's lack of a good, simple burning program now that Graveman has gone screwy. I'll be the first to say, I hate Gcombust with a passion.
Parts of this will look quite familiar to Puppy users, since it calls burniso2cd if you select the burn iso option. Why reinvent here. You can also create a disk from scratch and I plan to add a blanking feature later in the week. Install as an alien with petget, and then launch it from the launcher in /usr/local/apps (which you can drag to the desktop).

Hi Nathan,
Followed instructions to a T: downloaded tarball, installed with Petget alien installer and dragged icon to desktop.
I can start the process to "Burn an iso file" fine, but when I click on "Create a data cd/dvd" from scratch nothing happens.
At first I thought the problem might be that I needed a blank cd in the burner when starting the option, as with Gcombust, but that made no difference. Nada. Nothing. I also get nothing when I choose to "Set preferences".
UPDATE: Interestingly, if I right click on the desktop icon and choose "create a cd/dvd" the program starts, but not from the button on the gui. And when it says "I have opened a filer window in the tempdir", the filer window actually shows /root
OTOH, if I choose to "set preferences" by right click on the icon, I get duplicate copies of a huge list of Xdialog settings. Sorry but I dare not fiddle with any of them!
Any ideas?

WhoDo -
I looked at it anyway, and found the bugs. There's a fix uploaded already. You should remove the old one using the package manager, but then you have to manually delete the file /root/.config/grafburnrc before starting again. Then all should be kosher.
I had moved the location of the scripts while I was working on the package, and didn't update the paths in the grafburn script. I also fixed a bug, that caused it to fail if there was an empty profile directory. I will do some more improvements later this week to make it a bit sturdier and add the missing blank feature. I also want to add an option to set the speed, but that's about as complicated as it's going to get.

Thanks, Nathan. I'll give your bugfix version a trial and post my results here. Much appreciated.
UPDATE: Yep, that sorted 'em all out, Nathan. Thanks, mate.

Looking good, Nathan. Are you going to include multisession DVDs in the menu? (Command for the first session is different from the command for succeeding sessions.)
Plinej incorporated a window in the latest version (1.9) of his
GUI that shows the commands PBcdripper will execute.

Thanks Nathan, It looks pretty good. I'll try it out next time I burn a cd. I agree with you about gcombust. I was going to write a gui like this for my next project but now I won't have to.

You are not the only one who dislikes gcombust. Though I have yet to use this I can already tell what my favorite features are speed and the blanking option.
Great job !

Mark - What version of Puppy is Muppy based on? I think it has to do with the trailing slash issue that was fixed recently in Xdialog (was this Dougal?). So the fix should only apply to older pups.
Flash - The program should already support multi-session dvd. When you just burn an iso all it does is call the burniso2cd script. If you create an iso from scratch the burning stage is based on the same code, with all the same functions. I just cleaned it a bit, removed the unnecessary parts, and made it better looking.
A little window showing the burning commands might not be a bad idea, I'll have to think about it. I'm purposely keeping this as simple as possible, though. The idea is not to write a full featured replacement but a really simple program. I don't want to add in extra popup windows or extra choices that the user has to make. I hate gcombust mainly because of the cluttered, confusing interface. I loved Graveman because it was the exact opposite.
plinej - You might be a better person to do this than me anyway, so take a look at what I've done before saying you won't have to. It might not do everything you want it to.
klhrevolutionist - The blanking function is the only major part not written yet, sorry. I'll be on it, but probably not until later in the week.
Thanks everybody for the feedback, and especially to those who actually tested it. I had a feeling I wasn't the only one who needed something like this.

Version 0.3 is uploaded at the top of the thread. This implements the blanking function, which works for me but could use a little testing. In particular I've never blanked a dvd, so while I think the commands are correct I have no way of knowing for sure. None of my drives are even capable of this
I also went in and changed some colors and made other small improvements. Regarding multisession, it occurs to me that the thing is drastically incomplete because it offers no way to append to a previous session. Put this on the "long term" list though. The only other changes you can expect for now are some improvements to the preferences manager, including a speed setting and a way to set the default burner so that we don't have to do so every time you burn or blank a disk. That would get rid of at least one dialog box for the rest of the gui.
BTW - if you have xdg menus this package should create a menu entry.
Any other ideas, suggestions, or bugs please let me know.

I don't know how advanced GrafBurn is intended to be. But now since sox is included into Puppy, it would be possible to burn audioCDs from mp3 and other file formats in one operation. My windows-daughters have crowded me for that lack of feature in Puppy.
I'm glad you started this, Nathan. Puppy needs a useful burning program.

I have two suggestions. The first being changing the text from "Otherwise just pick a task and the program should guide you through it" to "Otherwise pick a task and the program will guide you through the process".
My second suggestion is to ask for or add an option for an input file of an md5sum.txt, this will allow the user to verify the iso before ruining a cd-r or dvd-r

Post subject: what the tmp directory was for
I am glad some improvements to preferences . . .
I did not understand what the tmp directory was for until I created one and ran the program. It then became obvious and I had to change it (I did not think the my-documents/tmp was right, in fact it was) - so a dialogue would help there . . .

The European Commission opened its demography exhibit to the public from 17 to 21 March.
Some 320 participants attended the fourth Demography Forum, which took place on 6-7 May in Brussels.
Organised in the frame of the European Alliance for Families, the seminar will discuss how EU societies are doing with the rise in family form diversity and the overall delay in family formation.
Organised in the frame of the European Alliance for Families, the workshop will discus three examples of how social experimentation may trigger social innovation and result in new types of home care arrangements.
The conference will be an important milestone towards the European Year for Active Ageing and Solidarity between Generations (2012) and should help to mobilise stakeholders at all levels.
One of the characteristics of Europe's demographic change is the growing ethnic diversity of the population, also within the older age groups.
"Europe 2020", the European Union's strategy for jobs and smart, sustainable and inclusive growth, was adopted by the European Council in June 2010.
There is an urgent need to better understand differences between countries and between social groups in order to identify the right policy levers to enhance quality of life.
In 2008/9, Europe has experienced the worst economic crisis since World War II, leaving a legacy of high unemployment and government debt.
The main aim of the workshop will be to discuss how equal opportunities by mutual integration, active ageing and empowerment as well as the improvement of the quality of life of migrant elders across Europe can be promoted.

Kids Are Americans Too : Kids Are Americans Too! And that means you have rights just like everybody else. But it's not enough to just say you have them. You have to know what those rights are...and are not! Luckily for you, Bill O'Reilly is back opining for kids on that very subject - your legal rights. O'Reilly and his co-author Charles Flowers, dole out the kind of blunt, cogent, commonsense commentary you count on them for. Together they explore timely questions being debated in and out of courts today including: Can a kid wear an anti-gay T-shirt on campus? Does a school newspaper have the right to badmouth a principal? Does a mother have the right to eavesdrop on her daughter's telephone conversations? Some of the answers will surprise you. Some will empower you. All will make you think.

1.) How much I personally enjoyed a show, and
2.) How well-crafted it is.
That is why I gave low-ratings to well-crafted shows like Monster and Full Metal Alchemist - and why I gave high ratings to mediocre-quality shows like Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory, and Excel Saga. You can't help what you like.

''Chairman Jack: Emerge'' (title might change later on) is an InteractiveComic by Crippledvulture: a {{sequel}} to ''Webcomic/ABeginnersGuideToTheEndOfTheUniverse''.
'''Warning:''' Spoilers for ''A Beginner's Guide...'' follow.
The plot, through time dilation shenanigans, takes place both minutes and years after the events of ''A Beginner's Guide''. The protagonist is Chairman Jack, a bird who, in the events of ''Guide'', became a cybernetic human-bird hybrid. He becomes a protector of a human settlement, whose major problem at the moment are bands of sky pirates.
A mirror is [[http://mspfanventures.com/?s=334 here]], and the original forum thread is [[http://www.mspaforums.com/showthread.php?39666 here]].
!!Tropes present within the comic include:
* GISSyndrome: Like in the previous part.
* IMeantToDoThat: [[http://mspfanventures.com/?s=334&p=57 We assure Jast that we meant to do that.]] Classic misdirection.
* MindHive: Jack, who has a function called "Internal Politics" showing various opinions structured as parties in a Parliament. Whether this is literal or just a metaphor for his internal thought processes is unknown.
* RoyalWe: Jack, as shows through the first-person narration. It might have something to do that his mind is apparently structured like an [[http://mspfanventures.com/?s=334&p=12 entire]] [[http://mspfanventures.com/?s=334&p=13 parliament]] of separate personalities.
* SeriesHiatus: Since March 2012. The author promised to get back to the comic soon, but has yet to fulfill this promise.
* SkyPirate: Fighting them off is Jack's first mission.

THE MODERN ERA OF THE LES PAUL LEGACYMedium: Hardcover
Following the release of The Early Years..., which Vintage Guitar magazine called carefully crafted ... lavishly illustrated, this full-color book continues the amazing journey of an American icon's recording career and the coveted instruments that bear his name.
Beginning with the collectible late '60s models, The Modern Les Paul Legacy moves on to the '70s and '80s special-themed instruments-showing all popular artist models, like Jimmy Page, Joe Perry, and Slash, in living color. And the holy grail '59 Sunburst and the jaw-dropping Custom Shop creations of the '90s receive their due as achievements that have never, to this day, been surpassed.
The book also covers Les Paul's resurgence-the comeback Grammy Award-winning album with Chet Atkins, the start of a weekly gig in a New York City jazz club (still on!), and the reconnection with the Gibson family. His lifetime achievement awards keep piling up, and an all-star party seems to emerge every time he hits another birthday milestone. Bringing this great innovator's story up to date, and featuring previously unpublished material from photojournalist Robb Lawrence, The Modern Les Paul Legacy is a must-have for music fans.

Simpson was asked to move out late last year, Conrad said.
"My son took him in," Burke said. "He would spend two weeks with my son and then he'd go home for two weeks, and then he and his mother would get into problems and then he would come back."
But when Paul Burke noticed that Simpson was becoming romantically interested in his daughter, he became uncomfortable.
"My son noticed he was getting kind of smitten with Saskia. He said, 'I didn't like what I saw. He's all googley-eyed and gaga and it gave me a bad feeling,'" Dorothy Burke said.
The family recently stopped housing people in need because they couldn't afford it after Paul Burke was laid off, she said.
Condolence messages were posted on Saskia Burke's Facebook friends' Web sites on Tuesday night. They described the Murrieta Valley High School student as a best friend, and like a sister.
She described herself as someone who was not artsy like her mother, a painter, or her father, who draws, or brother or sister who sing, but as "just me" with a name that no one can pronounce, after Rembrandt's wife.
"She had long, red beautiful hair. She was so gorgeous there has to be another word to describe her," Dorothy Burke said.
She talked to her son Tuesday, who was in the hospital still in shock, not able to process or react to what had happened.
"Paul did say to me, 'Mom, I can't cry.' I said, 'Honey, don't worry about it. It's going to hit you, and it's going to hit you hard.'"
Burke said she had cried all day until she had nothing left.
"It gets to a point where you cry and you can't cry anymore," she said. "But I'll probably begin again tomorrow."
Anyone with information about the case or Simpson's whereabouts may call 911 or Murrieta police at 951-696-3615.

The physics and chemistry of cocoa beans and cocoa products is very complex and changes throughout the life of the bean, depending on the processing it receives.
The following gives an indication of the changes in the bean through its life, together with some references that give further more detailed information on the physics and chemistry of cocoa beans.
Cocoa beans are the seeds of the tree Theobroma cacao. Each seed consists of two cotyledons (the nib) and a small embryo plant, all enclosed in a skin (the shell). The cotyledons store the food for the developing plant and become the first two leaves of the plant when the seed germinates. The food store consists of fat, known as cocoa butter, which amounts to about half the weight of the dry seed. The quantity of fat and its properties such as melting point and hardness depend on the variety of cocoa and the environmental conditions.
The seeds are fermented which causes many chemical changes in both the pulp surrounding the seeds and within the seeds themselves. These changes cause the chocolate flavour to develop and the seeds to change colour. The seeds are then dried and despatched to processors as the raw material for the production of cocoa mass, cocoa powder and cocoa butter. The first stage of processing includes roasting the beans, to change the colour and flavour, and shell removal. After roasting and deshelling an alkalising process can take place, to alter flavour and colour.
One analysis of the chemical composition of beans after fermentation and drying is as follows:
Nib % Maximum | Shell % Maximum | |
Water | 3.2 | 6.6 |
Fat (cocoa butter, shell fat) | 57 | 5.9 |
Ash | 4.2 | 20.7 |
Nitrogen | ||
Total nitrogen | 2.5 | 3.2 |
Theobromine | 1.3 | 0.9 |
Caffeine | 0.7 | 0.3 |
Starch | 9 | 5.2 |
Crude fibre | 3.2 | 19.2 |
This gives an indication of the chemical composition of the bean but it must be remembered that this will vary depending on the type of bean, the quality of the fermentation and drying and the subsequent processing of the bean.
Cocoa mass is produced by grinding the nib of the cocoa bean. The quality of the cocoa liquor will depend on the beans used. Manufacturers often blend different types of beans to gain the required quality, flavour and taste. The cocoa liquor can undergo further roasting and alkalisation to alter the colour and flavour which will also alter its chemical composition.
The fat or cocoa butter can be extracted from the bean in a number of ways. Pure press butter is extracted from the cocoa mass by horizontal presses. Sub-standard cocoa beans can be pressed without deshelling by using continuous expeller presses. Pure press butter needs no cleaning but it is often deodourised. A solvent extraction process can be used to extract butter from the cake residue left after the expeller process, this type of butter must be refined.
Cocoa butter obtained by pressing the cocoa nib exhibits the following properties: brittle fracture below 20ºC, a melting point about 35ºC with softening around 30-32ºC.
Cocoa butter is composed of a number of glycerides. Two studies established that the percentage of the constituent glycerides is as follows:
Glycerides | Percentage |
Trisaturated | 2.5 to 3.0 |
Triunsaturated (triolein) | 1.0 |
Diunsaturated | |
Stearo-diolein | 6 to 12 |
Palmito-diolein | 7 to 8 |
Monounsaturated | |
Oleo-distearin | 18 to 22 |
Oleo-palmitostearin | 52 to 57 |
Oleo-dipalmitin | 4 to |
Cocoa powder is formed from the cocoa mass. Presses are used to remove some of the fat and leave a solid material called cocoa press cake. These cakes are then crushed to form cocoa powder. The processing can be altered to produce cocoa powders of different composition and with different levels of fat.
An indication of the composition of cocoa powder is as follows, but it must be remembered that this will be different depending on the roasting, alkalisation and pressing processes undertaken:
Moisture % | 3.0 |
Cocoa butter | 11.0 |
pH (10% suspension) | 5.7 |
Ash % | 5.5 |
Water soluble ash % | 2.2 |
Alkalinity of water soluble ash as K2O in original cocoa % | 0.8 |
Phosphate (as P2O5) % | 1.9 |
Chloride (as NaCl) % | 0.04 |
Ash insoluble in 50% HCl | 0.08 |

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
A maxim of the renewable energy sector is that costs are dropping fast, thereby making them likely to be more competitive with conventional energy in the near future and that this is due to subsidies creating sales and generating movement on the learning curve. In the case of photovoltaics, this argument needs closer examination, especially in light of the large and growing subsidies for the power.
First and foremost, it is true costs have been dropping rapidly for several decades and will probably continue to decline—but in part, because costs for most things decline over time with technological advances. This is well documented by academics like Dale Jorgenson and John Tilton.
Also, Clean Tech supporters often assert that the point of competitiveness will be accelerated because conventional energy prices must rise, primarily because of depletion of fossil fuel resources. But they don't seem to think that the depletion of silicon needed to make photovoltaic cells; depletion matters, but the rate of depletion is often exaggerated.
The reality is that conventional energy sources do not tend to rise in price over the long term. The retail price of electricity in theUSis largely unchanged over the past four decades, despite the oil crises, much stricter emissions regulations, and the problems of the nuclear power sector. Before that, prices had dropped sharply.
Oil and gas prices have been manipulated and regulated for most of their history, but tend to be flat—outside of bubbles. Removing the assumed increase in conventional energy costs means that the day when photovoltaics becomes broadly competitive is much further in the future than proponents expect.
And, although it is a minor point, the sharp drop in costs for photovoltaic cells is exaggerated by the fact that the first cells were manufactured for use in satellites and were made to operate under extreme conditions. More recently, a glut in manufacturing capacity has depressed prices, and will be presumably reversed when the glut disappears. Proponents point to the sharper decline in the past few years without taking this into account.
Finally, the presumption that subsidizing purchase of expensive products like photovoltaic cells will bring costs down is largely fallacious. The biggest cost reductions come in the early phases of production, as the new technology is studied and optimized, and these have already been reached for photovoltaic panels. Major new improvements will occur in the laboratory, not on the production line or by installers.
All in all, proponents of photovoltaics are trying to divert attention from solar's high costs by pointing to declining cost trends, but this argument should be used to support research, not production subsidies.

text: What Is The Point Of The Ford Explorer Sport?Travis Okulski8/27/12 4:30pmFiled to: CountersteerFordExplorerTaurusSHOSport174EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink We've known for a while that Ford is unleashing a higher performance version of the Explorer this fall. Dubbed the Explorer Sport, it has 365 horsepower from its twin turbo V6 and gets 22 MPG on the highway, the best of any seven-passenger SUV. It's basically an Explorer SHO. But what's the point? The Taurus SHO and Explorer Sport share so much in common that it isn't funny. It has the same underpinnings and engine. It just gets worse gas mileage and is higher, which means it handles worse.This is a Taurus SHO wagon with a lift kit. The biggest issue is that the off road cred that the Explorer used to have is further tarnished due to the gigantic wheels and the unibody construction. Why does it exist? It's simple: Sales. Ford will sell tons of these to people that want power but not a lame Taurus sedan. They want something bigger that will handle and stop worse, and the Explorer Sport will fill that niche. Advertisement Advertisement On the other hand, if you'd told us a few years ago we'd be able to get something AWD with room for seven, gets 22 MPG and has 365 horsepower we'd have said: in your dreams.What do you think of it?Reply174 repliesLeave a reply
