Healthy re-Quest: Study looks to address childhood obesity with video game
File photo - Burks Elementary third-grader Reece goes over his answers to The Cooper Institute's NutriGram assessment in May 2011. McKinney ISD's Finch Elementary is one of six Texas schools now participating in a study that will examine how a health-oriented video game could help children improve their nutrition.

The "quest" against childhood obesity has gone electronic, at least in Texas.
Selective gaming may lead to better nutrition for elementary students, according to The Cooper Institute and The Michael & Susan Dell Center for Healthy Living, which this week launched a study that will use a video game to help children understand how to optimize their health via 3-D avatars and apples.
Six Dallas-area schools, including Finch Elementary in McKinney, will take part in the study. Ninety minutes a week, for six weeks, fourth-graders will play "The Quest to Lava Mountain," a game that teaches them skills like gathering and cooking healthy food while reinforcing science, reading, environmentalism and social collaboration.
"Childhood obesity is one of the biggest challenges we face today in Texas and in our country," said Dr. Kenneth H. Cooper, founder and chairman emeritus of The Cooper Institute, a nonprofit dedicated to preventive medicine research and education. "With larger numbers of children suffering from diabetes, heart and other diseases, it's more important than ever to improve fitness and reduce the fatness of our young people.
"We must come up with innovative ways to do this, and 'The Quest to Lava Mountain' video game is one of the unique approaches we are taking at The Cooper Institute."
The Cooper Institute initially tested out the game in recent years, when it launched it to 1,800 kids in Texas, who used it during their NutriGram program. NutriGram assesses children's knowledge, behaviors and attitudes toward healthy eating through the game and an online questionnaire.
Promising effects of game were revealed through a school in El Paso, in one of the nation's poorest zip codes, said Nancy Beasley, associate director of youth initiatives at The Cooper Institute. The school's principal allowed students to play the game at the school over the summer and noticed immediate health-conscious changes, Beasley said.
"We found out the El Paso students were asking their parents for milk instead of soda when they went grocery shopping," she said. "They were asking for healthier things."
Perhaps living out their own "quest." In the game, food is fuel for their avatars, which go faster and farther in the game on healthier selections. Choose the right fuel, gain more energy - much like in everyday life.
"It's more about an embedded mindset for the kids," said Karin Klemm, McKinney ISD physical education facilitator. "The hope is that they'll be thinking the same process in real life, as they're going through their day. They'll know that if they eat the apple, they'll be more active and energetic."
Other tenets: eat smart, be more powerful; importance of variety and moderation; and relation of physical activity to nutrition. The game allows monitoring of the food-choice trends of players at the beginning and end of their respective quests. End-of-quest surveys and before-and-after recalls will gather gamers' real-life food choices.
The young gamers' top responsibility: beat the game.
"If a kid completes a video game, we feel like as educators we need to go in and test that child; why is that?" said Beasley, who with others had their research, "The Quest to Lava Mountain: Using video games for dietary change in children," in the Journal of American Dietetic Association. "We trust the game mechanics and we trust they finished the game...so we know they know the content."
Participating schools are spread around the area, and three other schools - not playing the game - will be used as controls in the study.
Klemm first saw the game when Burks Elementary students played it during their NutriGram - a brief gaming session compared with the upcoming six-week quest of 20 Finch Elementary fourth-graders.
She and Beasley met with Finch participants and parents Thursday afternoon to explain the game and study. Jim Young, grandfather to fourth-grader Alex, said he simply signed Alex up as a way for him to get involved at school.
"Alex is a very picky eater, very finicky; he doesn't eat a lot of fruits and vegetables," Young said. "It's going to be interesting to see how he fits into this."
Klemm is open to anything that could improve students' health habits - even video games.
"It does seem contradictory, but so many kids are technologically based now, even us as teachers and coordinators are learning more tech-savvy things to reach them," she said. "The whole point of the game is relating back to your daily life.
"We always say eat healthy on testing days, but we should be doing that every day of the year because we're learning every day of the year."
Speaking to Finch parents, Beasley recommended they limit their children's time playing the game each day based on their amount of physical activity, and revealed findings that point to the benefits of video-game learning.
If the six-week study proves successful as it did in El Paso, the electronic quest - not children's waistbands - could expand.
"Our goal is to distribute the game as widely as possible with funding," she said. "We'd love to push it out to all kids throughout the U.S."

Funny woman opens up about negative 'Whitney' reviews
Report says co-host will announce her exit from daytime talk show in June
If you thought Barbara Walters' recent retirement announcement would put an end to rumors that Elisabeth Hasselbeck is also leaving "The View," think again.
Hasselbeck, 35, will announce her departure in June, reports Showbiz411.com. The story goes on to say a new season of "The View" will kick off after Labor Day with two new co-hosts. Back in March, Joy Behar announced her exit after co-hosting for 16 seasons. Behar, 70, will bow out when the current season ends in August.
Bing: More on 'The View' | Barbara Walters | Elisabeth Hasselbeck
Shortly after Behar said she was leaving "The View," rumors that producers were pushing Hasselbeck out the door grabbed headlines. According to Us Weekly, a viewers' poll deemed Hasselbeck "too extreme and right wing." Hasselbeck, a former "Survivor" contestant, joined "The View" in November 2003. Scuttlebutt that CNN's president, Jeff Zucker, was reportedly interested in Hasselbeck and her conservative views also surfaced around the same time. Although Walters has denied Hasselbeck's departure from "The View," Hasselbeck has been uncharacteristically mum on the subject.

The countdown on the show's website indicates the new talk show will air at 11 a.m., which would put the Queen in direct competition with "The View," but that time won't be accurate in all markets. Be sure to check your local listings.

Cast member Jay Pharoah's tweet suggests the veteran is leaving
Is Jason Sudeikis leaving "Saturday Night Live"?
That's what a tweet from his co-star, Jay Pharoah, suggests. Over the weekend, he took to Twitter and said, "Hader, Armisen & Sudekis the talent of those three and just them as people in general will be missed but we will be strong and carry on." Pharoah quickly removed the tweet, but it was archived on Favstar.
Bing: More on 'Saturday Night Live' | Jason Sudeikis | Jay Pharoah
Of the three names Pharoah mentioned, Sudeikis is the only unannounced departure. Last week, Bill Hader confirmed he was bowing out after eight seasons saying, "It was a hard decision, but it has to happen at some point. It got to a point where I said, 'Maybe it's just time to go.'"

Saturday was Hader's last day. Cast member Fred Armisen also used the Season 38 finale to say an emotional goodbye after 11 years on the show. But Sudeikis, who started on "SNL" as a sketch writer a decade ago, hasn't said whether he's leaving.
When asked by E!Online if this would be his last season, Sudeikis coyly said, "I'm not thinking about it yet." Meanwhile, Lorne Michaels recently talked to the New York Times about Sudeikis' potential exit. "You never keep anybody there who doesn't want to be there," Michaels said. "SNL" will bid farewell to Seth Meyers next season, when he succeeds Jimmy Fallon as the host of "Late Night" in February 2014.
"Saturday Night Live" returns for its 39th season this fall on NBC.
Get the latest on Michelle Stafford, Hunter Tylo, Rena Sofer and more familiar names
A flood of casting updates for "The Young and the Restless," "The Bold and the Beautiful," "Days of Our Lives" and "General Hospital" have soap opera fans buzzing about Michelle Stafford, Hunter Tylo, Chrishell Stause, Darin Brooks, Rena Sofer and other familiar daytimers. Here's a roundup on who's coming and going on each of the big four soap operas during the end of May and into summer.
Bing: More about "Young and the Restless" | 'Bold and the Beautiful' | "General Hospital" | "Days of Our Lives"
MSN TV has confirmation on Michelle Stafford's status with "The Young and the Restless," as well as news on which shows nabbed "General Hospital" alums Rena Sofer (ex-Lois), Jen Lilley (ex-Maxie) and Erin Chambers (ex-Siobhan); "Days of Our Lives" Emmy winner Darin Brooks (ex-Max); and "All My Children" ex-pat Chrishell Stause (ex-Amanda). Plus, what's going on with "Bold and the Beautiful" locals Hunter Tylo (Taylor), Zak Conroy (Oliver) and Ashley Jones (Bridget)?
NOTE: Airdates may be affected by preemptions caused by special news reports on events like the Oklahoma City tornado.
"The Young and the Restless"
The big news coming out of Genoa City is that fan favorite and Daytime Emmy nominee Michelle Stafford (Phyllis) is exiting.
"I would like to personally confirm to the fans that yes, I have decided to leave 'The Young and the Restless,'" Stafford said. "It has been a glorious 16 years and one of the greatest rides of my life. The constant support and love from the fans is not lost on me. I think I'll miss you the most."
With Phyllis expected to exit the canvas mid-June, there are clearly no hard feeling between Stafford and her bosses, as she was out partying with Sony and CBS after the story broke.
This isn't Stafford's first exit from the show. She first signed on as Phyllis in 1994, exiting three years later. Sandra Nelson stepped in as a recast until 1998 and then Stafford returned to cause more trouble in 2000. She also spent a few months doing double duty when villainous Sheila returned looking like Phyllis. During Stafford's 16 years with the show, she's nabbed 10 Emmy Leading Actress nominations, taking home the win in 2004. She also won Outstanding Supporting Actress in 1997.
In other CBS news, "The Bold and the Beautiful" hunk Zack Conroy is taking his character Oliver to "The Young and the Restless" on business. The hot photographer will work with Jabot in crossover episodes airing Tuesday, May 21, and Friday, May 31.
"General Hospital" alum Erin Chambers (ex-Siobhan) is getting into the Genoa City legal scene. She's landed a recurring gig as paralegal Melanie, premiering Thursday, June 6.
A new woman may shake up the Cane/Lily/Tyler drama. Mishael Morgan ("Supernatural," "Total Recall") has joined the show as Hilary Curtis and will first air Friday, June 14, in scenes with Daniel Goddard (Cane) and Christel Khalil (Lily).

"The Bold and the Beautiful"
Lots of big moves are happening on "The Bold and the Beautiful." With two divas out, a brand new pair is joining the show and a fave returns for some drama.
On the heels of news that Jacqueline MacInnes Wood (Steffy) is taking a break from "The Bold and the Beautiful" comes word that her onscreen mom Hunter Tylo (Taylor) is exiting the show.
"Contract talks ended 4 weeks ago," Tylo posted on her message board, though a show rep says they are still in negotiations. "I am moving forward and opening back up to the thousands of acting roles available, writing, and pursuing my skin care line. My friends and 'B&B' fans will be sorely missed. But don't worry! I'll keep you posted of my every new adventure!"
With the mother/daughter team on its way out, there's a new mother/son duo coming to town, and they're packing Daytime Emmys. "Days of Our Lives" alum Darin Brooks arrives on the scene June 21 as newcomer Wyatt and soap veteran Rena Stofer has been tapped to play his mother, Quinn Fuller, first airing Friday, July 12.
"I am so excited to be joining Bold and the Beautiful!! I have always loved daytime and I am so excited to be back!!!" tweeted Sofer, who also boasts a healthy list of primetime credits and was last seen on "Once Upon a Time."
There's not much dish on Sofer's character, yet, but word is this pair has some bombshell secrets. Wyatt, for his part, is set shake up the Hope/Liam/Steffy triangle and promises to be a "badass."
"My character, Wyatt, is first seen in the nude taking a solar shower out in the woods," Brooks teased. "Hope stumbles across him and takes his picture on her smartphone and Wyatt catches her… As the story unfolds, he moves into that whole fashion-industry world and you'll find out his connection to everything. It's all very mysterious for now."
Former cast regular Ashley Jones will bring her character Bridget back for a short visit, starting Wednesday, May 22.
"I'm only going in for three or four episodes, as of right now," Jones said. "But there's some fun stuff with Bridget's mom."
The timing makes sense: Brooke is once again pregnant with an in-law's child and trying to get another man to take credit for knocking her up - As fans recall, the last time this happened, it was Bridget's then-hubby Deacon who knocked Brooke up and Whip who took credit. It sounds like Jones (who has been dating former onscreen hubby Jack Wagner!) would be open to the idea of sticking around town, as long as there was a juicy story lined up for her.
"I feel like this is too cool a character to come back and just sit in the background," she explained.

"Days of Our Lives"
Salem has quite a few soap hoppers coming to town.
"All My Children" alum Chrishell Stause has signed on for a mysterious new role and will show up in Salem mid-summer.
"I couldn't be happier!" Stause tweeted. "My bags are packed-moving to Salem!"
"General Hospital" alum Jen Lilley (ex-Maxie) will heat up "Days of Our Lives," starting in July. Lilley earned props from Port Charles fans during her stint covering for Kirsten Storms last year, but don't get ahead of yourselves "Days of Our Lives" fans. She is not a recast for Belle, the role that helped launch Storm's career years ago.
Nadia Bjorlin's Chloe will be back for a few episodes toward the ends of summer.
Meanwhile, with Casey Deidrick's (Chad) contract up in June, buzz suggests he could be on his way out. The show may even be recasting the role, but neither he nor the show have confirmed this rumor.
"General Hospital"
With summer approaching, Samantha Logan ("666 Park Avenue") has joined the "General Hospital" teen scene as Felix's younger sister, Taylor DuBois. The newcomer will shake up the Rafe, Molly and T.J. triangle.
"Not everything can be a triangle, so there will be another girl thrown into the mix," teased headwriter Ron Carlivati.
'Ugly Betty' star being considered for 'Romeo and Juliet'-like series
America Ferrera and ABC could reunite.
The actress, who rose to fame on the network's telenovela-style drama "Ugly Betty," is eyeing a new ABC project called "Pedro & Maria," EW.com reports. Inspired by "Romeo and Juliet," the modernized tale is in development and comes from executive producer Ben Silverman ("The Office" and "The Biggest Loser").
Bing: More on 'Pedro & Maria' | America Ferrera
According to the report, instead of the Capulets vs. the Montagues, "Pedro & Maria" will focus on "two opposites cut from the same cloth caught in the trap of forbidden love. He is a second generation Dominican from the mean streets of Washington Heights. She is a Puerto Rican whose parents made millions as real estate developers. It's a clash of the haves and the have-nots, of Main St vs. Wall St, set against a volatile cultural backdrop that fiercely believes neither side should mix with the other."
Plus: 'Dancing With the Stars' finale preview | 'Felicity': Where are they now? | 'The Bachelorette' Season 9
Silverman also produced "Ugly Betty," which aired from 2006-2010, and like the series, "Pedro & Maria" will have a telenovela format. The drama was initially pitched as an interactive series that would allow viewers to vote and choose the direction of the characters and story lines, but it's unknown if that is still a variable.
Paul Lee, ABC's entertainment president, said the network will explore limited-series projects to fill the gap created by hiatuses for hits such as "Scandal" and "Once Upon a Time." Lee made the announcement at last week's upfronts presentation and added that ABC's top-rated series will be clustered into tight runs with all-original episodes for up to 12 weeks at a time. He didn't say "Pedro & Maria" has received the green light yet, but the show and its proposed short-run make it a strong candidate within ABC's new landscape of fewer reruns.
Greg, Peter and Cindy celebrate 40th anniversary of theme park adventure episode
Susan Olsen (Cindy), Christopher Knight (Peter) and Barry Williams (Greg) returned to Kings Island in Ohio for a mini-reunion Sunday, May 19. The "Brady Bunch" alumni celebrated the 40th anniversary of the 1973 episode that saw one of TV's most celebrated blended families go on summer vacation at the amusement park.
Bing: More about "The Brady Bunch" | Watch clips and episodes of "The Brady Bunch"
Fans packed the 844-seat venue for four mini-reunions that featured Williams, Christopher and Olsen sharing behind-the-scenes stories, memories and classic clips. Retro TV fans also got to shake hands, get autographs and strike a pose with the stars for $20.
Plus: 'Dancing With the Stars' finale preview | 'Felicity': Where are they now? | 'The Bachelorette' Season 9
During the reunion, former wild child Knight, now 55, quipped that he didn't remember much from that time, but enjoyed hearing about the good old days from fans. Olsen, 51, gave fans a time check when she talked about her 16-year-old son with a Mohawk.
Williams, 58, was reportedly the star of the reunion. In addition to emceeing the event, he gave fans a bit of his classic Johnny Bravo and then shared his re-written version of "The Real Slim Shady," "The Real Greg Brady." He rewrote the Eminem song in order to explain his popularity with strangers to his son. The idea sounds a bit ridiculous and the track did not impress his son, but the video is not all that bad.
Billboard Music Awards, blockbuster movies, May sweeps and more
Daytime talk shows promise an A-list lineup the week of Monday, May 20. The Billboard Music Awards and Memorial Day will be hot topics.

About Me
In order to avoid things like math I took some ceramic courses in high school. Likewise, avoiding the same in college, I muddied my hands as frequently as was possible. However, at one point and 3 colleges later It dawned on me that I needed to make a living because my prince had failed to appear and pay my electric and gas bills. So, I decided that I would study nursing and work as an artist when I could. Fast forward 36 years because that's when "could" happened. The stars lined up, I found myself at a free ceramic workshop, stuck my hands back into clay and there i have been for the past 3 years. After a short and regretful 6 months at a forgettable ceramic program in Portugal (ARCO) I set up a small workshop at the back of my home. In 3 years, I've made about 3 things that I liked and about 300 things worthy of the trash. I actually do worry that I am creating things that will not deteriorate over the millineums. My 3 children do display some objects in the USA. A few months back I had a moment of over-imagination. I imagined teapots with a maritime theme, a competition of such items and I was awarded public support in this tiny country to produce an international ceramic event. There is no turning back now even as I sit day after day in front of this computer churning out things like invitations, websites, (one for our new workshop too) press releases, grant applications and various begging, pleading and supplicating opportunities. I will submit some photos as soon as I find one that makes me look gorgeous. Seapots, Teapots and a Sunday Tea Party

The in-vehicle segment of MeeGo needs development platforms which are more convenient and less expensive than an actual car console. While there are a number of attractive development board options available, as of this writing (July 21, 2011), hardfp GPU drivers needed to run MeeGo 1.2 are lacking for ARMv7 hardware. While there are some development boards available with x86 Atom processors, the ExoPC tablet that has been widely distributed in the MeeGo community offers an attractive alternative. Intel's Tablet UX release targeted the ExoPC, so software support for the device is superior to that for the raw-board options. While the ExoPC does not offer the automotive-relevant hardware extensions (e.g. CAN bus, internal GPS) that some of the development boards do, the functionality can be added via USB or bluetooth.
The installation can conveniently be bootstrapped by using a chroot method like that previously employed by N900 and Pandaboard MeeGo-porting efforts. The basic idea is to install two images, one a stable, software-complete image like Tablet UX 1.2 for Atom, and the image to be adapted to the hardware, like IVI UX 1.2. The developer boots the stable image into a text console, then uses chroot to switch to the second image's userland. Subsequently the applications of the second image can be invoked using its own libraries and settings, but on top of the first image's kernel and virtual filesystems.
Install the Tablet UX from the USB. On the ExoPC screen, wipe the "BBS" soft button back and forth during boot, and choose to boot from the USB device using the arrow keys on the attached keyboard. Also check out these detailed instructions from Intel.
In the installer's partition tool, choose "custom layout" and set the following partition table to preserve Windows but leave room for IVI:
Disk /dev/sda: 64.0 GB, 64023257088 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 7783 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk identifier: 0x3da06da4 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 1 13 102400 7 HPFS/NTFS Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary. /dev/sda2 13 2563 20480000 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/sda3 * 2563 2595 256001 83 Linux /dev/sda4 2595 7783 41677522+ 5 Extended /dev/sda5 2595 5077 19937281 83 Linux /dev/sda6 5077 7559 19938003 83 Linux /dev/sda7 7559 7783 1802237 82 Linux swap / Solaris
Here /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda2 belong to Windows pre-install, /dev/sda3 is /boot created by Tablet installer, /dev/sda5 isTablet UX and /dev/sda6 will be IVI UX. Note that the filesystems must be ext3. (Default btrfs does not work with partition resizing tool yet.)
parted /dev/sda p (prints partition table; see /dev/sda6 has boot flag) set 5 boot p (check that /dev/sda5 now has boot flag) q
Now booting from SSD (/dev/sda) should work again.
# extlinux.conf prompt 1 timeout 20 default vesamenu.c32 menu autoboot Starting Tablet #menu hidden menu resolution 1366 768 #menu background splash.jpg menu title Welcome to Tablet 22.214.171.124.0.20110517.1 menu color border 0 #ffffffff #00000000 menu color sel 7 #ffffffff #ff000000 menu color title 0 #ffffffff #00000000 menu color tabmsg 0 #ffffffff #00000000 menu color unsel 0 #ffffffff #00000000 menu color hotsel 0 #ff000000 #ffffffff menu color hotkey 7 #ffffffff #ff000000 menu color timeout_msg 0 #ffffffff #00000000 menu color timeout 0 #ffffffff #00000000 menu color cmdline 0 #ffffffff #00000000 label tablet menu label Tablet_184.108.40.206.0 (126.96.36.199-8.12-adaptation-pinetrail) kernel vmlinuz-22.214.171.124-8.12-adaptation-pinetrail # append ro root=/dev/sda5 quiet vga=current append ro root=/dev/sda5 vga=current menu default label ivi menu label IVI_1.2.0 (22.214.171.124-10.5-adaptation-intel-automotive) kernel chain.c32 append boot 6 label Other menu label Other kernel chain.c32 append boot 1
mkdir /IVI mount /dev/sda6 /IVI ls /IVI
IVI filesystem should appear. Verify that what you expect is there. For example, /etc/init.d for IVI has bluetooth-ivi and speech-dispatcherd, while /etc/init.d for Tablet does not.
openvt /bin/bash chvt 3
Now you should have a shell prompt in a new VT. Login at vt3 and chroot to IVI there:
chroot /IVI /bin/bash
Now "ls /et/init.d" will show what's in /IVI, not what's in Tablet's root partition. Change back to Tablet UX user filesystem just by switching virtual terminals.
Having the IVI text console is a first step, but the whole purpose of the exercise is to get its GUI up and running. To do so, there is some more housekeeping needed.
Note that the script must be run from a Tablet text console and that the Tablet UX's GUI must not be running. In order to boot the Tablet image into text-only mode, append the character "3" to the bootargs command line as shown in the image above. If you allow the Tablet GUI to come up, the method described below to start IVI UX will fail even if you try to do so from a text console. The reason is that a given login can run only one instance of X11. Before starting uxlaunch to run the IVI GUI apps, we must perform several more housekeeping tasks:
Use File:ExoPC chroot scripts.tar.bz2.txt with a new IVI install to copy all the needed drivers and libraries from Tablet Preview partition to IVI partition. Try the chroot once just to debug the IVI GUI installation before trying to boot into it directly. To use the scripts:
mv ExoPC_chroot_scripts.tar.bz2.txt ExoPC_chroot_scripts.tar.bz2 tar xjf ExoPC_chroot_scripts.tar.bz2 cd ExoPC_chroot_scripts ./ExoPC_chroot_setup
Edit the file ExoPC_IVI.conf to reflect your system settings. Most obviously, change "IVI_ROOT" to a different partition name if your IVI image is not in /dev/sda3. Once the script has run, follow the instructions to chroot to /IVI and start the full uxlaunch GUI there. Once the uxlaunch is working in the chroot, the correct files for Intel i915 graphics are installed on the IVI partition, so users can now boot directly into the graphical runlevel 5 of IVI. Take note of the ampersand to run uxlaunch in background. Running uxlaunch in foreground will prevent further switching between the 3 virtual terminal windows. If there are problems, viewing /IVI/home/meego/.xsession-errors or /IVI/var/log/Xorg.0.log from the tablet virtual console is likely to yield the most useful diagnostics. (From IVI text console or GUI, omit the leading "/IVI" from pathnames.)
(Anyone who finds other problems, please add them!)
Begin by partitioning the SSD in the ExoPC, as outlined above. Install the first OS in partition /dev/sda2 and make a copy of the /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf file. Make a second copy of the file and use a text editor it to add an entry for the second OS, which the user will boot from the same kernel but from /dev/sda3. An example File:Extlinux.conf.txt shows tablet UX booting from /dev/sda2 and IVI from /dev/sda3. In the example, IVI is booting into text-console mode because of the "3" appended to the boot parameters.
MeeGo installers want the whole disk on which they are installed, and the second installer a user runs will typically not display the same convenient behavior as GRUB, which, if appropriately coaxed, will automagically modify a single /boot/grub/grub.conf file to accomodate multiple OSes or userlands. Instead, the user has two choices:
For these methods to work, the kernel to which the extlinux.conf files makes reference must, of course, be in /boot as well! It's a good idea to back-up the Master Boot Record once you have a tricky installation complete.
A ready-made bootable image with kernel-adaptation-pinetrail is available. Note that any image with the kernel-adaptation-intel-automotive will not run on devices like Lenovo S-10t netbook or ExoPC.
To build your own image which can be booted from a flash key using the mic tool (Image_Creation), start with the following kickstart file: mg-ivi-ia32-pinetrail-latest.ks.
Create an image using the following command :-
sudo mic-image-creator -f livecd -t ../tmp/ -k ../cache/ -c ivi-ia32-pinetrail.ks -a i586 --release=latest --pkgmgr=yum
Burn to usb stick :-
sudo dd if=meego-ivi-ia32-pinetrail-latest.img of=/dev/sdX bs=4M - replace X with your device letter (b,c..)
Boot from stick in device.
Boot takes sometime. I've not tried installing to internal flash and you may need a keyboard to configure wireless as onscreen kb is not working.
In order to stop the accelerometer being picked up as an input device and associated mouse pointer motion, download File:80-suppress-accel.conf.txt and move it to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/80-suppress-accel.conf.
Since the 1.2 release, the MeeGo-IVI project has released updates. Do not install these with "zypper update" without careful consideration! Zypping up from these repos auto-installs kernel-adaptation-intel-automotive and its modules, plus the EMGD graphics drivers and uninstalls the kernel-adaptation-pinetrail and i915 graphics drivers that ExoPC needs. It's possible to prevent this overwrite by using "zypper al kernel-adaptation-pinetrail", etc., but then nearly nothing will update.
The Trunk repo has a nobdy package that works fine on ExoPC. However, do not update from the Trunk repo unless you know what you are doing! A safe method is
zypper ar http://download.meego.com/live/Trunk/standard Trunk zypper install nobdy qt-qmlviewer zypper mr -d Trunk
which installs nobdy and then immediately disables the Trunk repo.
The IVI launcher/chooser will only offer to switch among programs have .desktop files in /usr/share/applications/ and icon images in /usr/share/themes/1024-600-10/icons/ and /usr/share/themes/1024-600-10/icons/launchers. For qmlviewer, I copied a random small PNG image from one of the Qt4 directories into the icon directories, renaming it "qmlviewer.png" and added a reference to it in a qmlviewer.desktop file I created by editing one of the existing files in /usr/share/applications/. For nobdy, I did the same, but first I created an icon by using a program to write "nobdy" in a box. The resulting icons in the chooser show up in the video linked below.
To test nobdy with a USB-connected OBD scanner, use a config file invoking File:Plugins.xml examplesubscriber.txt, but to view live OBD data with a GUI, use a config file that supports a File:Plugins.xml dbus.txt. So far, OBD scanning with OBDLink works with Tablet Preview with examplesubscriber and dbussimple subscribers receiving data from genericobd2 provider, but the invocations don't work on the IVI UX. It's not yet clear whether the problem on the IVI UX is due to incomplete configuration or a differing versions of Qt Mobility between Tablet Preview and IVI UX.
In order to view OBD data with qmlviewer, first plug the OBDLink scanner into USB. Make sure that the corresponding /dev/ttyUSB* file is world-readable and writable. After copying File:Plugins.xml dbus.txt to /etc/nobdy/plugins.xml, start nobdy in an xterm as "nobdy." Crank the ignition. You should see messages appear like 'Connected to ELM version "ELM327 v1.3a"' if all is working. Invoke qmlviewer with
qmlviewer -opengl -qmlbrowser
When the browser opens, choose tripzero's GuagesExample.qml. Some of the fields should live-update and respond to the car's accelerator, etc.
Nobdy is more useful with the Terminator multi-xterm-on-screen application. Follow the posted instructions to install Terminator, but first zypper install vte and vte-python from the default 1.2.0 repo.

[quote][i]Originally posted by jenjs[/i] [br]Hey beb48, good for you! I was a major water-drinker too & slacked off as well on that. But I found the flavors you can add to the bottle are a God-send, if the blah just does you in. Also, drinking teas are just as good as water. I'm big on green tea, always hot, in the mornings & I also drink the bottled gren teas by lipton...yum. I find needing to drink warm bevs in winter helps with the need for water. I'm big on coffee too, but more no caff & I have to wean myself from cream & all that. (gotta watch the cholesterol too) Hey, I'll start checking in every day if everyone else can! We all need a lift to get our butts in gear I'd guess. I'm waiting for it to warm up a tad so I can go out & rake up the yard & maybe run the mower, get it looking decent before snow really hits, along with cold. I dread the cold more than anything....I need the air & sun! At the same time, I need the change of seasons. I couldn't deal with constant spring or summer. And I know what I'll say isn't exactly good advice, but during winters I try & go tan....mostly for the "sun-ray" hit for a lift. It does help me with the winter blues when it gets dreary constantly out. Everyone enjoy your day! It's one more day we had than yesterday... [/quote]

Hi, I think this is a great place but I am a little bummed out on the very little responses it has. I notice there are a lot of lookers but very few respond. I think maybe we all can do better if we get more active and keep the boards interesting by sharing. We can talk about anything it doesn't have to all be about weight it could be anything like something funny, family, friends a situation. Please join me and create some great conversations! Thank you and together we can do this!

Sorry I haven't checked in for so long! I still don't have regular internet, I have to resort to stealing from my sister or from neighbors or going to free Wi-Fi places. It really is getting to be a royal pain in the butt. No matter how many times I call the place to moan about them not coming when they were supposed to exchange the stuff, it makes no difference. Uff, sooo frustrated!!!
But finally all moved in. Need to get a bathtub installed still, which I'm sure will still take weeks to come. I absolutely hate showers! This is very hard for me to say the least. I'm totally having tub withdrawls.
It's been a tough week so far in the new house!!
Posted - 06/06/2013 : 4:35:46 PM
The days fly by. Too bad you have nothing but mud and can't play in the yard this summer. I too hope the move is worth it. I'm sure it will be for the best.
I do believe Harley has totally forgotten us. And we're so adorable!
Good luck with the move. Glad you had a great time with your oldest. The mountains - oh, I do love them. There's nothing as gorgeous as the mountains. I don't live near any, but I have been on vacations and seen them. I fell in love with them years ago.
Good luck!
Posted - 05/30/2013 : 3:45:34 PM
The trip is always good! Always hard to come back to this ugly, ugly place after being in such beautiful mountains & of course being with my oldest. I do miss him so.
We have rain, yet again. We will all thru the weekend it calls for. A big mud hole in the backyard. The new owners are starting work on a garage so there's lots of digging & lots of mess now. Thought it was bad before....it's triple that now for the dogs. Uff. How I hate that! Over at the new house won't be any better at all. That backyard is getting all ripped apart too. So I can't plant or do anything probably at all this year. Too much going on.
Next weekend is the big move, yuck! Lord how I hate having to do all of that again. Just the thought of it makes me cringe. And so much work we have to do inside & outside both, gives me the willies. Just hope it ends up being worth it all in the long run.
I'm beginning to wonder what happened to our Harley girl. She's dropped off again!
Posted - 05/28/2013 : 4:39:12 PM
The days are going faster and faster. I can't believe I haven't been in here in over a week.
How was your trip to Wyoming? I'm sure you had a good time and that it was wonderful to see your oldest son.
The weather has been nice here. The weekend was cool actually - 60's, which I love, but it isn't great for everyone who wants to swim beginning Memorial weekend. It's warming up.
I haven't planted a lot, and what I did plant it's in pots. Makes life easier and the ground/soil just isn't that great at my house. It's an old mining town. My mom always told me there's too much coal in the soil. It's taken me all these years, but guess what -she was right!
I wouldn't want to pack up and move, but you will be so happy with your new home - more room for one thing.
Yes, it's way past time for harley to jump in and say 'Hi gals! Life's good, but I've been busy. The chickens (whatever), the cow (whatever). I miss hearing about her critters.
Posted - 05/15/2013 : 4:01:07 PM
I have a spare second or two so I thought I'd pop in!
Hope you had a great mom's day. Kiddo & I went to Minot. Hubs had to be on call so he couldn't leave town. Oh well, we had a nice day anyways. Hubs always says I'm not his mother anyhow. That's the kind of guy he is. Not very, what's the word I want to use....not really emotional. Not really sure what to use! He can be very emotional at times, almost very diva-ish even! So, he's just an odd duck, we'll just say that.
I'm not planting or anything until we're all done & moved. Ugh. I hate the thought of it even. We're having a fence put up, so the lawn will be dug up & all, so I won't even bother messing with trying to get a decent lawn until mid June if even then. Yuck. I hate moving!!!
My allergies have really kicked my butt this year & I don't really get why. It was way bad last week, I thought it was the end of me for sure. About time it started to go away a bit, I was really hating getting up in the mornings! Plus taking care of 4 small ones on top of that, yuck. Last week was not a good one at all.
Harley does need to get her butt in here & check in!
Hope you too have a good weekend. Next week kiddo & I are off to Wyo!! Can't wait to go see my oldest baby!!
Posted - 05/15/2013 : 2:33:31 PM
It's warm here. Yesterday morning I wore a sweater. It was really chilly. Left work and it was 91! Had the A/C on at home. So strange.
I did some planting over the weekend. Shasta daisies, clover, sweet potato vine, marigolds, petunias, spearmint, basil . . . I don't remember what else. But they are all in pots. I don't have luck planting in the yard. I bought the home of my aunt/uncle. They built it in 1949. I always loved it. She used to say that she had a hard time growing things due to having too much coal in the soil. Could be. This is a mining town. I've had trouble and I give up. To expensive and too upsetting to put the time, money and effort into having something pretty only to have it die. So they are in pots.
I'm tired and I think it's due to this switch back/forth in the weather. Bothers allergies, arthritis, you name it. I think it's making me tired. My body simply cannot adjust.
Sure would love to have harley check in.
Have a great weekend.

I had peeked in the other day, was going to get back in & totally lost time! Sheesh!
We finally hit the 70s the other day, glory glory! I did the lawn, so it's all ready for some showers to come & start making it all green. And it can even be the white stuff if it decided to, I could care less now! I know it won't last now if it does.
Posted - 05/09/2013 : 2:14:46 PM
Nothing new going on here. More rain. More t-storms. I can't complain. It isn't cold and it isn't that 'white stuff.'
I've lost a couple more pounds!! I'm working on it.
Hopefully I have a different car by tomorrow. I'm still waiting on the 2005. I was ready to test drive it and the seller (who I do know, as she used to work here too) said she was going to put it in the shop and have it checked before selling it. If I change my mind, fine. She'll use it as a trade-in, but she needed to know for sure that it's in good condition. It looks terrific. Truly does look new. It's in the shop now and the mechanic said it's in very good condition. There's only one thing - he had to replace the catalytic converter (What??). Then it was explained to me that it has to do with air quality. In Illinois we have emissions testing every other year. The cat converter is involved with this emissions business. Doesn't have anything to do, really, as far as the engine, etc. goes. Minor - and her expense. Fine with me.
I'm sure you're busy getting everything lined up for work, moving, etc. I don't envy you that move, but it will be for the best.
Happy Mother's Day.

It's sunny and 80 here today. I hope the heavy rains are over too.
Glad you're able to get the windows open and breathe in that fresh air. Sneeze. Sneeze. Cough, cough. I know what you mean. My nose is like a faucet every morning lately. I don't care. I have the windows open.
16 already. Kind of brings tears to your eyes; doesn't it? It's amazing how they grow up so quickly and right before our eyes. They become young adults. He's a working 'man' too, and that's wonderful. Hope he had a great b-day.
Yes, car shopping . . . I am not buying a new one. That's all there is to it. Then I have to worry about the doors getting banged up in the garage when the doors are opened, the mower is taken out, a bike is taken out, a rake . . . No way. If it isn't new, it doesn't get so banged up. Strange, but true. I have a good friend here at work whose passion is cars. I think I told you about him. Think I told you about him. He has at least 10, a huge garage . . . he can rebuild them, repair and do body work. They are 'hobbies.' He also built 3 of his homes! Talent. He's always working too. He had a phone call last week from someone who used to work with us. She wants to sell her car and buy a new one. She has a 2005 Ford Escape. Of course she would call him. Why not? He buys them quite often. He looked at it and said it's like new, new tires, 4 wd, power, etc. I will look at it Friday. I have postponed all shopping to look at it. I don't want to shop for a car. Don't want car payments either. So the 2005 would be perfect for me. I'm anxious to drive it. I trust my friend completely. Rentals are expensive too! Like you said. Can't be without a car.
Have a great weekend.
Posted - 04/26/2013 : 3:20:34 PM
I'm so glad to hear that the GS is ok! How scary is that. And I feel for you with the car situation, I hate having to also ever look for a car. It is one of the worst things I think you ever have to deal with. What's so bad is we just can't really live without them anymore! I know I sure can't around here, not living in the middle of nowhere.
Speaking of living there, it actually has been gorgeous the past 2 days here....finally! It is actually acting like spring! The birds are chirping at 5:30 in the morning, it's been in the 60s & I'm able to open up the windows finally for some fresh air. It's like a dream! And my sinuses are paying for it too. But hey, I've waited 7 months to do this, so I really don't care now!!! It actually is 64 as I write this & I am more than elated. I only wish the lawn wasn't all wet & mushy, then I could have the kids go out for a bit. But yeah, it's terribly muddy, wet, sloppy & squishy. Making a huge mess with the dogs. Yuck! Definitely mud season with them.
Youngest turns 16 on Sunday. I have no idea where all those years went to! I can remember just having him it seems just yesterday! Hope you have a great, WARM weekend!!
Posted - 04/25/2013 : 1:38:51 PM
You certainly are a busy lady. Great news though. Glad to hear your son is working there also. Couldn't work out better for all of you.
Congratulations to your husband on the dog handling job. So he likes police work well enough to do it full time. Pity the pay isn't as good. They risk their lives and deserve to be paid well. Seems as though things are working out though.
My GS had my car Monday evening and was in an accident. Thank God he's OK. Very sore - neck & back - but he's alive. The bad news is my car is old. It isn't worth fixing it and I would be terrified to put money into it and not be sure how safe it is. I have to do the car shop thing, which I hate. I don't even like cars. I won't buy a new one. I want an older one, and fortunately I have a good friend who is a mechanic. As a matter of fact cars are his passion and his pasttime. He's helping me.
Poor kid. It was early evening, around 5. He was on his way to a girl's house. They were going to do something so totally innocent - get ice cream and then come back to our house. His mom and I haven't met her. We know about her, but that's it. He was only about 10 mins. from home. He was going through an intersection and someone pulled out and turned right in front of him. He claims the light was yellow and he was halfway through the intersection. She claims the light was green. She has the witness! So guess who's at fault. That makes it even worse - insurance will go up.
It could have been worse. I keep telling him that because he feels bad because he knows I did not want to buy a car. He's saving for one of his own, but with a PT job it isn't so easy. Life isn't easy though.
Have a good weekend.
Posted - 04/19/2013 : 2:45:33 PM
I best do this quick while I have some spare minutes! I seem to have very few of those lately these days with 2 very little ones now. Plus having to do searching online while I can squeeze it in for the daycare, leaves little time for anything else. But I get to missing it if I don't!
My new boss is terrific! Plus, kiddo actually works there also, in the shop. He's been there for a couple months now. He goes in after school & on Saturdays. But after school gets out, he'll do the Saturday hrs all week long, no more lawn mowing jobs. Otherwise he would have kept doing that probably. But he was getting tired of it.
Hubs now is the new K9 handler for the police dept., so he'll be going for training on that not this coming week but the week after. The other guy that was the handler had misspoken on facebook & got himself fired, hubs had been a dogsitter for the dog on his off days & it was only logical for him to actually be the replacement. Not everyone fully agrees, but oh well, the dog responds a lot better really with hubs than she did with the 1st guy. He was not really into it. I'm giving hubs by the end of this yr that he'll probably quit his real-time job & go into the police force full time, which is also why I wanted to do this daycare too. Policemen don't make as much as what he makes now & we would need to have my other income coming in to kind of break even on what it is now, or come kind of close.
Uff! I do hope you have a good weekend, we're supposed to be getting more snow showers again, lovely...
Posted - 04/18/2013 : 11:01:26 AM
The situation is Boston is so sad. Afraid to send kids to school. Afraid to go sightseeing in heavily populated cities. Afraid to go to church for heavens sakes! It seems as though life is no longer valued by many. I realize they must pulicize things like this, BUT someone else who isn't really 'with the program' sees/hears things like this and decides to 'become famous.' It sort of snowballs. It wasn't long ago we had Sandy HOOK and the killing of all those little ones. It's sad. It's frightening.
I'm glad you're moving forward with the new job. That's terrific. Congratulations to you. What you have said about your boss makes her a treasure. It will work out beautifully. You'll be perfect for this. You have ideas. You enjoy children and are good with them. It's a win/win situation for both of you. PLUS you get to take your kids with you. Their parents must be thrilled. It's all working out very well for you.
The weekend is here almost. The weeks really do fly by. Now you have your new job. New home. Wow. What will your son do with himself all summer? Maybe he can find some grass cutting jobs or something.
I'd better get busy. It's storming here again. So I need to get some work done in case I decide to shut down this computer.
Posted - 04/15/2013 : 6:25:32 PM
Wow, I'm watching about the Boston Marathon right now. Holy crap, what is going on??! But really, do they know it was honestly bombs & not some kind of gas leaks, for sure? Uff, this is all so tiring anymore. Soon it will be dangerous to go to the grocery store. How pathetic is that.
One thing on the weather here....it's not quite as dangerous as there! We did get about 5" yesterday/last night & they delayed school 2 hrs. today. Not that we couldn't get any tornadoes, but not until it gets way warmer! We were lucky to hit 30 today. And I'm past sick of it!! I swear I thought of getting out my Christmas tree yesterday & baking cookies...
Well, on Weds. I go back to go over even more things with my new "Boss", we didn't even come close to talking about things! I can start researching things from home now & get paid for it, which is awesome, plus when I do start at the new place I'm able to have my current kids come with me, so they don't have to find another place to go to....that in itself speaks loudly of my boss! She's an awesome lady, she's well liked & respected in the community, wants to be able to retain her employees...which you never hear about & if you do, hold on to them! I just want to be able to do such a good job for her & I have so many doubts since I've never done anything like this before. Uff, I just need to get hold of myself & quit being so negative! I can do it!
Posted - 04/12/2013 : 11:54:18 AM
Congratulations on the sale of your house!! Wow that was fast, and such a relief for both of you. I'm sure you'll work something out as far as pay/benefits for the daycare. It would be perfect for you.
I "HAD" my windows open. Actually Wednesday it was too warm here. Got warm too fast. The winds picked up. Severe t-storm warnings were out and Wham!! It was really bad by 6:30 or so. Hazelwood MO, which is about 24 - 25 miles from where I live in IL got hit really, really bad by a tornado. Tremendous destruction there to homes and businesses. They called in a neighboring city's emergency personnel to help them. It's that time of year here. We had the warnings and the sirens went off, but we were very lucky.
Now today it's it's in the low 30's. Go figure! The weather here is ridiculous.
And you still have lots and lots of snow. I wouldn't trade you. I'd be so sick of it by now.
Have a great weekend.
Posted - 04/10/2013 : 3:30:42 PM
Glad all went well at the drs for you! I agree, with cancer running in the family, it's best to be safe than sorry. I have to with the mammo every year, since mom & younger sis both had cancer. Sis beat hers, unfortunately it was much too late for mom. I honestly don't believe it's hereditary like they say. I do believe it has a lot to do with the diet. Genes may play a very small part, but no one else has had cancer but the two on that side of the family.
Not quite sure what kind of bug we had caught! I didn't feel really bad, but it sure didn't like me much. Even now my tummy is still a little touchy. That can be a good thing still, right? Not eat as much! But you know what? I've been really, REALLY craving a Sara Lee butter streusel coffee cake, do you have those there? Man, I've looked all over the place for one & can't find one anywhere!! We used to get them for Sunday mornings when I was a kid, talk about a treat. I can taste it right now, just thinking about it. Yuuuummmmm....Wish I could have one right now!
*sigh* I do envy you being able to open up your windows! I sooo wish I could do that. It's only 30 today. At least we didn't get dumped on like a lot of others did yesterday, ha ha! Finally someone else got it other than us. I still have 3 ft. drifts in the backyard, almost 4 ft'ers. yuck. It's going to take until June before they're gone.
Oh! We did sell the house! Actually to a couple the hubs knows. Was so easy, I was so relieved. They came by later on a Friday, looked at it, said they wanted to move into town & wanted something not too big, when could they have it! Sweet! So nice not having to worry about how we're going to sell it. Big relief.
I go to talk about the daycare more tomorrow, see what she would offer, see if it's acceptable, that kind of thing. So probably by the next writing I'll have some good news, hopefully! I think it would be a hoot! Have my new house free from all of the kiddo stuff all over the place, be nice.
And I don't dare say the worst of winter is over, I'll just jinx it if I do that....but I did see a robin, but he wasn't singing a pretty song. He was doing a mad song, you know how they sound, like when they're really letting someone have it! I think he was a bit miffed he came back already & it was still so friggin cold...
Posted - 04/08/2013 : 4:10:42 PM
Sorry you and your hubby have been sick. That darn flu - stomach and chest/throat - has been horrible around here. It has taken everyone I have known 2 - 3 weeks to get back to feeling like themselves again.
The test was fine. I don't like doing it, but it's a have to thing. I put it off as long as I could. With a family history of cancer, I just couldn't avoid it any longer.
It's been very pretty here this weekend. I opened up the windows, turned on ceiling fans. It was gorgeous and I was so excited to air out the house. I'd love to plant flowers, but it's too early. Sometime next month, middle probably, I'll plant a little.
Congratulations. Setting up a new daycare will be terrific for you. How exciting. Adults too. Holy cow. You won't know how to act. This will be ideal for you.
I do believe spring is here. We'll still have some cool days, but the worst is over. Alleluia!
Posted - 04/03/2013 : 3:46:06 PM
Glad you had a good Easter! Not so much here. Hubs & I both had stomach flu. Mine went on until yesterday, had it since late Fri. nite too. Ugh, not fun. It was worse for hubs at first, he was throwing up with his, I didn't. He'd started early Fri. morning & then I came on later that night, a very long weekend like that!!! Tell ya what....lost 3# from that alone....course it's all back, was nice to have it gone! But what a way to go...Your turkey sounds pretty yummy BTW.
Hubs has actually not mentioned being in any pain ever since, which is good, but odd for him, you know men. They do have to moan & groan. I tell you, I do NOT like having to care for him when he's sick, such a whiner. Sheesh. Seriously, reeeeeeaaaaaaalllly bad!
Best of luck on your endeavors this week, yuck. I feel like I kinda had one this past weekend! The time will come I should do one sooner than later.
It's actually a very balmy 34 outside, if you can believe it! Geez, we may be heading into spring now. There's a few places more in the south part of the state that may see some 60s....wish it was us. I'd love to open up the windows for a bit. I just may after the kiddos leave.
OH! That reminds me! Come the 1st part of June I'll probably be setting up a new daycare in another business!! No more in the house! And I'll be able to see other adults during the day!! Yee-haw!!! I'm getting excited! I'll know more details around Friday for sure, so come next week I'll know some more. This is going to be awesome! I thought I'd tell ya that before I forgot, since I was talking about kiddos there at the end.
Good luck in a few days!
Posted - 04/01/2013 : 12:06:00 PM
Easter was beautiful here. Started off chilly, gloomy and rainy. By 10 AM the sun was out. By noon I turned the furnace off and cracked a few windows open for fresh air. Wow! It was wonderful. I baked a turkey breast. Simply could not decide what to fix, and that sounded good. Hope you had a lovely day too.
If it's tennis elbow, good. Could be so much worse. I'd be watching him though. So true about the smoking. He has to want it and he has to do it. It's tough. I quit many years ago and it was very difficult.
I may not make it back here this week. I'm off Thurs/Friday. Thurs is 'prep day' and Friday is colonoscopy day. I have sooooooo much fun!
I think I'll get a couple sweet potatoes and start some vines indoors. They're pretty. I can then plant them outdoors sometime next month when I can believe the weather might stay nice.
Have a great week.
Posted - 03/28/2013 : 3:37:58 PM
I wondered how much you got dumped with. So, about a foot huh? Ugh! It's gonna be at least til late may before I'll be able to do any kind of yardwork, by then we'll be getting close to movin out of here...and by then we *cough cough* better have it sold!!
Hubs ended up having tennis elbow, of all things, if you can believe it! I'm relieved, believe me, but for as much pain as he was in & it radiating in both arms & his legs being so swollen & all....I still believe he has other issues. He does need to lose 40# he was told, plus quit smoking, naturally. No brainer. The swelling was due to his weight is what he was told. Hmmmm......Well, could be, but it was a lot of what like dad had too, to the point it was almost worse. No, not gout-like, but with heart stuff. I can definitely see that from the smoking. He has to want to stop that on his own, again, I can't make him.
It may be Easter comin up on Sunday, but it looks & feels like Christmas here. Hope y'all have a great one!!

Reward over risk: Lady Panthers' late gamble topples Boyd for first 10-5A win
BY Matt Welch,
Published: Wednesday, January 16, 2013 12:46 PM CST
On Tuesday night, the Plano East girls basketball team erased a taste that has soured its mouth for the past three weeks.
A District 10-5A win was the medicine needed to cure those ills, which the Lady Panthers procured with a 52-47 victory over McKinney Boyd.
"We've been without a win for a while now," said LaGwenna Morrow, East head coach, "so whether it's in district or not, just to get a win was great to get morale up. That was definitely a positive."
The Lady Panthers (11-16, 1-3) matched their largest lead of the night at 45-38 with three minutes left in the fourth quarter, only for Boyd (10-14, 1-3) to respond with an 8-0 run for a 46-45 advantage with 90 seconds to go.
That count became 47-47 inside the final 45 seconds before East freshman Daria McCutcheon was responsible for the quarter's sixth and final lead change. Despite the Lady Broncos being in double bonus, McCutcheon cleanly stripped Boyd senior Charmaine Celestine at midcourt and converted an and-1 for a 50-47 lead with 36 ticks left.
"That was exceptional defense at that point in time," Morrow said. "It was very crucial. Daria did very well and for her to finish on the other end was great. She's really stepping up as a freshman."
Two free throws by East junior Letty Bornstad followed and East erased its place as the district's lone winless squad.
"We played like we hadn't played basketball before," said Rochelle Vaughn, Boyd head coach. "We struggled from the free throw line (12-of-29) and that killed us, as did costly turnovers. We just had no energy."
The Lady Panthers looked to be in prime position to break their six-game skid early, jumping out to a 14-8 lead behind six points from senior Jordan Welch, who scored 10 total along with seven rebounds. Despite six second-quarter points from Boyd junior Haley Carruthers, including a jumper that nudged the Lady Broncos in front at 19-18, East countered with an 8-2 run to round out the half for a 27-20 lead.
The third quarter -- and second half, in general -- belonged to East senior Jasmine Caston, who returned after being sidelined by an ankle injury for most of the season.
"Jasmine was that presence we needed on the floor tonight," Morrow said. "It may not have been big on stats but her presence on the court literally made a huge difference for our offense."
Numbers-wise, the Texas Tech signee wasn't too shabby either in compiling 14 points, eight rebounds and three assists. Twelve of those points came in the second half, although Boyd had its own counterattack behind the aggression of senior Julia Hendrieth inside. Hendrieth scored 16 of her game-high 19 points in the second half to go with six boards and four steals. The Lady Broncos also ratcheted up their defensive pressure, forcing 18 turnovers on the night and limiting East to just six points in the third quarter.
"I think our press is getting better," Vaughn said. "We just have to capitalize on their mistakes and we didn't. We didn't come out ready to play."
It was enough to bring Boyd within one point at 33-32 after three quarters but McCutcheon steadied the tide with seven of her 10 points over the final eight minutes --including the game-deciding bucket in the 52-47 victory.
A 6 p.m. Friday home tilt against McKinney awaits Boyd while East travels to Plano West at 7:30 p.m.
