SANT'ANNA, Suze Rosa y HENNINGTON, Élida Azevedo. Health promotion and reduction of vulnerabilities: a strategy for knowledge production and (trans)formation of healthcare work, based on Ergology. Interface (Botucatu) [online]. 2010, vol.5Selected edition, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1414-3283.
The present study had the aim of reflecting on the urgency of new possibilities within healthcare settings starting from the proposal to shape an "Extended Community for Health Promotion Research". This strategy aims to contribute towards training for healthcare workers, by interlinking concepts from Yves Schwartz's ergology and its dynamic three-pole mechanism, from the perspective of going along original paths for critical reflection and requalification of healthcare work. Through this, workers can be immersed in the debate and experimentation regarding learning to share and discuss scientific and non-scientific knowledge and practices aimed at health promotion for the community. In this way, it is understood that such experiences have their chance and demands, thus becoming a possibility for knowledge production and (trans)formation of healthcare work.

Linux's Best Friend
Thanks to YUM, Linux updates are as reliable as Old Yeller.
Bits & Bolts
Thanks to YUM, Linux updates are as reliable as Old Yeller.
|The Right Tool
YUM is more scalable and tolerant than other Linux updating programs, such as Red Hat-based up2date and Debian-based APT-RPM (now managed by Conectiva), which makes it more suitable for enterprise environments.
YUM handles dependencies more gracefully than the others, supports multiple repositories, groups and failover, and simplifies the management of multiple centralized and decentralized machines.
YUM, like up2date, is written in Python, while APT-RPM is written in C++; the difference is 33,000 lines of code, meaning YUM and up2date are faster and less complex. On the other hand, up2date and APT-RPM have native GUIs, while YUM is command-line only (third-party GUIs are available). Also, up2date has a rollback feature absent in YUM, which is important in case of incorrect or incomplete updates.
YUM may be used in other popular distributions such as Novell's SuSE Linux or Mandrake, but there are less likely to be issues with Red Hat and Fedora. SuSE and Mandrake users may want to consider their native updaters, YaST and urpmi.
Linux is here to stay. Its appeal as an open-source OS and the perception that it's more secure than Windows have given it a strong foothold in businesses, government agencies and universities. Gartner reported that the revenue from sales of Linux-based servers grew by 55.7 percent in third quarter 2004 over the previous year, and IDC said that Linux accounted for 9 percent of worldwide server sales in the same quarter.
But updating and patching Linux can be a tedious and error-prone process, even if you have resident Linux gurus. That's where Yellowdog Updater, Modified (YUM) can help.
YUM (derived from a similar tool originally crafted for the Yellowdog OS, a Linux distro for Macs, and maintained by Duke University) is the most flexible and arguably the best of several automated tools available to manage Linux software updates easily and consistently.
The cost of supporting Linux servers and workstations can surpass that of your Windows boxes in a hurry; vulnerabilities remain unpatched, and ad hoc configurations spring up across the enterprise. Commercial patching/updating products are ex-pensive and focus mostly on Windows.
YUM saves time, money and security headaches by centralizing administration and version control.
Updating the Hard Way
Red Hat Package Manager (RPM), originally developed by Red Hat, is a command-line tool that can be used to install, uninstall and update a package for almost any Linux OS or application. (RPM is also referred to as RPM Package Manager because of its ubiquity across Linux platforms.)
Each RPM package consists of a header, signature and compressed archive. The utility installs or uninstalls a package based on the header information the package contains.
This is a purely manual process; you have to update each package on each server at the console or by remote access. Most packages require not only the particular files you're updating, but numerous contingent tools and libraries, called dependencies, and each of these, in turn, may require additional tools and libraries.
Resolving all these dependencies and getting the install right is time-consuming and prone to error. It's all too easy to get it wrong and break an app or crash a box.
Imagine patching and updating a handful of servers and workstations this way. For large, distributed environments, this would be unthinkable. The cost would be prohibitive, and you'd need a number of Linux experts to install and troubleshoot across the enterprise.
Updating the YUM Way
YUM solves most of these problems by enabling automatic updates to servers and workstations across an enterprise. While it lacks some of the features of high-end commercial tools, it's a viable option and a dramatic improvement over pure RPM updates.
The update works with any Linux OS (though it's most tightly integrated with Red Hat and Fedora Core) or application that relies on the RPM format. YUM runs on top of RPM as a shell, automating its processes. There are two primary components: yum-arch, which is used to create the server-based RPM package repository, and the YUM client, which pulls in and installs the updates.
The cornerstone of the tool is yum-arch. It creates a header file for each RPM package on the repository (an FTP, NFS or HTTP server). YUM's magic is its ability to separate these headers on the repository; yum-arch has a variety of debugging, informational and security switches that are primarily of use to admins setting up a repository.
The YUM client polls the target repository for pertinent OS or application (say, Mozilla or Snort) updates. It downloads the header file and compares that information to the client's cached header information, determining which updates are needed, and automatically resolving all the dependencies and completing the installs.
By downloading only the headers first, YUM minimizes network traffic. It downloads packages only after it determines what is required, which is particularly important over slower connections like a fractional T1. The locally cached headers are updated and/or incremented to reflect the current status for the next update check.
If YUM encounters a problem—like a package conflict, wrong version or dependency loop (a circular dependency where A requires B, and B requires A)—it stops the install and sends an error message. YUM has failover capabilities, so you can designate URLs for both primary and mirror repositories. YUM generates logs that can easily be viewed to verify installations and updates.
The YUM client can easily be installed via Telnet or SSH. Once installed, it doesn't require root access, so updating packages requires no additional overhead or special privileges. In addition, it can be configured to perform GPG signature checking.
YUM at Its Yummiest
YUM's real power is in its automation, flexibility and fault tolerance.
While an update can be launched with a simple command-line instruction, YUM allows you to schedule regular (e.g. daily) update queries. YUM will download RPM header files on a schedule to check for and install any updates. This allows YUM to be truly automated and gives organizations the option of off-hour and staggered installations.
YUM's versatility and security can be further enhanced through the use of local or private repositories and application groups. Although YUM clients can be, and often are, directed to query public repositories, best practice often indicates the use of site repositories for maximum flexibility, control and security. For starters, creating repositories inside the firewall enhances security, as YUM is susceptible to man-in-the-middle and DNS-poisoning attacks if it's accessing an Internet repository.
Local repositories assure that only tested updates and patches are applied. By controlling what RPM packages sit on authorized repositories, you can make sure that they will be applied only after they have been cleared for production. (Or, if you are using public repositories or a centralized site repository, you can limit what YUM automatically updates through client-based exclude commands.)
Distributed repositories—in branch offices, for example—reduce bandwidth consumption, so YUM clients won't all query a single central repository or flood your Internet access by downloading packages from a public site. And, high-security environments may need closed LAN segments with their own repository.
Going a step further, you can organize repositories of OSes, applications and tools by department or business unit. YUM facilitates this through groups defined in an XML-based file that allows you to assign packages to designated applications.
Pros and Cons
YUM is arguably best of class, though there are other Linux update tools, including up2date and APT-RPM, which may have features you prefer (see The Right Tool).
Using YUM for your Linux boxes and SUS or a third-party product for Windows servers and workstations is a reasonable software and patch update strategy. YUM may not be robust enough for all enterprises. It lacks the central administration, rollback and reporting features of many commercial patch and configuration management tools. And, it's only good for Linux distributions.
But YUM is a free tool that's flexible, scalable, fault tolerant and easy to manage in centralized and decentralized environments. If maintaining your Linux boxes is a drag on your IT department, it's worth a look.

Thomas Greenslade Blackmore and Jane Francis Lemon
Thomas Greenslade BLACKMORE was born on 21 August 1828 in Somerset, England. Since Thomas was in Illinois in 1850, he emigrated before then. And since he had a brother born in New York in 1835, it appears he immigrated sometime between 1828 and 1835.
Thomas married Jane Frances LEMON on 8 December 1853 in Brimfield, Peoria County, Illinois. Jane Frances Lemon was born on 8 January 1835 in Virginia to George Lemon and Mary Shane.
Thomas and Jane had had seven children: Mary Frances, Charles B, Benjamin B, Henry W, George Marlin, and twins Callie N and Calvin Lewis Blackmore. Thomas was a farmer and it appears that in 1870 he was quite successful. The 1870 census for Saunemin, Livingston County, Illinois, stated that his real estate value was $13,200 and his personal property value was $2465. Sometime between 1870 and 1880, the family moved to Nebraska.
The family obviously moved to Colorado because in the 1896 Colorado State Business Directory, it states that Thomas owns a restaurant. Thomas Greenslade Blackmore died in Granite, Colorado on 18 August 1898 and was buried in Granite Cemetery, Granite, Chaffee County, Colorado.
From the Family Book written by Clifford F. Blackmore, page 6, "After Thomas' death Jane lived with Calvin at Granite and Buena Vista a few years but the last years of her life, except one year with Charles in California and one year with George at Rifle, Colorado were spent with Mary at Pontiac, Illinois." This may explain why Jane died in Illinois instead of Colorado as Thomas did. Jane died on 1 September 1927 in Livingston County, Illinois and was buried in Five Mile Cemetery located near Saunemin, Illinois.
Children of Thomas and Jane Lemon Blackmore
Mary Frances Blackmore was born on 21 December 1854 in Brimfield, Peoria County, Illinois. Mary married William F Cottrell on 15 February 1872 in Livingston County, Illinois. William was born on 21 January 1838 in Lansing, Ingham County, Michigan, the son of John Cottrell and Catherine Arnold. Mary and William appeared to have lived in Livingston County their entire lives.
Mary and William had nine children, six boys and three girls. The first two children were two boys, Harry B and Charles O. Then the three girls were born: Ada Jane, May Janette and Lucy Belle. They were followed by four more boys: William Thomas, Henry Clinton, Alvin Marquis and George Andrew. The 1900 census indicated that Mary had nine children and only eight were living at this time. However, I have found all nine children in this year's census: six with Mary and William and three married and living with their spouses. Then in 1910 the census stated that Mary had ten children and nine were living. I don't know who the other child might be. William was a farmer for his entire life.
Mary died on 30 Jun 1926 in Pontiac, Livingston County, Illinois and she was buried on 3 July 1926 in Five Mile Cemetery, Saunemin, Illinois. William died on 4 July 1926 in Livingston County, Illinois and was buried on 6 July 1926 also in Five Mile Cemetery.
Charles B Blackmore was born on 30 April 1856 in Pontiac, St. Claire County, Illinois. Charles married Susan K Snowberger on 27 March 1889 in Holyoke, Colorado. Susan was born on 6 August 1864 in Monticello, White County, Indiana to John Snyder Snowberger and Susanna Clapper.
Charles and Susan had three children, two boys Homer Eugene and Paul Clarence and one girl, Ruth.
Charles had numerous occupations. In 1880 he was a laborer on a farm next to his parents' farm. In 1900 he was a baker while in 1910 he was a merchant in a general store. According to the following news article, Charles also had a farm.
In the February 10, 1914 issue of the Riverside Daily Press it stated that Charles Blackmore purchased an automobile. It doesn't appear that Charles had much time to enjoy his automobile since he purchased the car in February and died on 27 November 1914. He is buried in Evergreen Cemetery in Los Angeles.
After Charles died, Susan married William James Haslam in 1919. William had been married to Anice Fast, who died about 1917. He was a rancher in Redlands, California. It's probable that William and Susan either divorced or separated sometime about 1925 because in the 1930 census they were enumerated in two different cities.
William died about 1941. Susan died about 1942 in Redlands, San Bernardino County, California and was buried in Evergreen Cemetery, Los Angeles, California.
Benjamin B Blackmore was born on 4 April 1859 in Brimfield, Peoria County, Illinois. Benjamin married Frances "Fannie" Elizabeth Hunter on 3 May 1881 in Sangamon County, Illinois. Frances was the daughter of Thomas Hunter and Catherine McDaniel and she was born on 24 Jul 1855 in Dawson, Sangamon County Illinois.
Benjamin and Fannie had nine children, five girls (Claretta, Anna Laura, Lillian Loraine, Lula Amanda and Mary Frances) and four boys (Reuben Calvin, John Benjamin, Carl Thomas and Lawrence Mozart).
A newspaper clipping stated that Benjamin took 42 children to the state fair on a hay wagon. He must have really liked children.
The 1900 census shows that Benjamin is a day laborer. It appears that a couple of years later he was working with a coal company. In the 1909 City Directory, Benjamin and Fannie were living at 1025 E Capitol Ave, Springfield, and Benjamin was listed as a teamster for Baker & Baker. In the 1912 City Director, Benjamin was listed as a laborer for I T S. He was injured and the Springfield, Illinois, newspaper Daily Illinois State Journal, had weekly updates as to his recovery progress. Then in 1917 Fannie was injured "when the horse she was driving broke loose" according to the Daily Illinois State Register on July 18, 1917.
Benjamin and Fannie spent their entire lives in Illinois, mostly in the Sangamon County area.
Benjamin died on 22 September 1920 in Mechanicsburg, Sangamon County, Illinois and was buried in Mechanicsburg Cemetery, in Illinois. Frances died on 25 April 1935 in Springfield, Illinois and was buried three days later in Mechanicsburg Cemetery in Mechanicsburg, Illinois.
Henry W Blackmore was born on 22 August 1862 in Pontiac, St. Claire County, Illinois. Henry married Martha "Mattie" Roxanna Patterson on 29 August 1882 in Boise, Ada County, Idaho. Martha was born about 1857 in North Carolina. Henry and Martha had one child, Henrietta, who was born in 1883. Unfortunately Henry died on 28 June 1883 in Idaho a few months before Henrietta was born and Martha died in childbirth.
George Marlin BLACKMORE was born on 27 March 1865 in Odell, Livingston County and he married Mary Elizabeth "Polly" BLINCOW. "Polly" was born on 3 May 1869 in Long Buckby, England. She was the daughter of William A Blincow and Betsy Wikes Howe. More complete information about George and Polly is in an earlier blog posting.
Callie N Blackmore and Calvin Lewis Blackmore were twins born on 13 February 1868 in Pontiac, Illinois.
Callia or Callie married Frances E Davis on 18 July 1890 in Fairmont, Fillmore County, Nebraska. In 1900 they had four children. Two sons Lewis Edmond and Oliver Keenin married and I was able to find out information about them after 1900. The two girls, Ziliah and Irene, are mysteries and I have been unable to discover anything further.
Callia may have married a man whose last name was Geisen or Giesen sometime after 1900 because on the marriage certificate for Lewis Edmond Davis in 1923, his certificate listed his father as Frances E Davis and his mother as Callia Giesen.
Then on 15 May 1930 Callia L Davis or Callia L Blackmore married H B Duane, who I believe was Harry B Duane. This marriage record in Washington listed her name as Callia L Blackmore and notes that she had one previous marriage. No further information is known about Callia or her spouses.
Calvin Lewis Blackmore owned a meat market in 1896 in Granite, Colorado. He married Evangeline "Eva" Lovering Smith on 6 March 1907 in nearby Buena Vista, Chaffee County, Colorado. Eva was born on 3 February 1892 in Buena Vista, Colorado. They had four children, three girls and one boy, Faye, Mae, Calvin Morton and Helen. I believe Calvin and Eva divorced in 1927.
Calvin then married a woman named Emma, last name unknown, sometime about 1927. Calvin died on 6 December 1953 in Los Angeles County, California.
Eva also remarried, before 1930, to Roy Gutierrez. She may have died about 1960 in California, but no proof is offered at this time. No further information is known about her.

Senior swimmer Anne Marie May earned the Counsilman Hunsaker National Collegiate Swimmer of the Week award, it was announced by CollegeSwimming.com on Thursday. The honor comes after she had a phenomenal showing at the Finis Collegiate Invitational at Belmont Plaza.
May's best swim was in the 50 freestyle when she captured first place with a time of 22.34 seconds, which is the fastest time by a women's collegiate swimmer so far this season.
The time is also one of five NCAA "B" qualifying standards she achieved during the three-day meet.
May had an additional individual win in the 100 free, posting a time of 49.44 (a "B" cut). She took second in the 100 breaststroke, posting a time of 1:03.85.
The senior also assisted the Gaucho relays to four first-place finishes. In the 200 free relay, she led-off with a mark of 22.70 as the team posted a "B" qualifying time of 1:31.94. The Gauchos also achieved NCAA consideration times in the 400 medley relay (3:46.27) and 400 free relay (3:23.34). UCSB rounded out its top finishes with a first place 200 medley relay (1:43.58) with May swimming the breaststroke leg.
UCSB edged out UNLV to capture the meet title.
In addition to this award, May was also named the Golden 1 Credit Union/UCSBgauchos.com Athlete of the Week for the second consecutive week.

Frisco ski vacationFrisco was a good choice for a central place to stay for a ski vacation if you want to ski more than one mountain. Cheaper than staying at one of the resorts and a lot of great restaurants to choose from. We especially enjoyed Himalayan Cuisine on Main St. Easy drives to Copper, Keystone, and Breck. We skied Copper and Keystone and had a great time at both but would give the nod to Copper for lift-served advanced/expert terrain.

This week, the Pop Rocket panel has some extra help to talk about the 5 years and 6 seasons of Girls that ended this past Sunday from the New York based comedy duo Las Culturistas. As you can imagine, the gang has a lot to say during this post mortem. They talk about whether we got closure from the final episode, and whether Lena should have just stopped at the penultimate episode. Did the producers of Girls do enough to deal with the lack of racial diversity on the show over the 5 years? What role did nudity and sex play on show, and why was it so refreshing? Was Elijah used as a trophy or seen as a peer by Hannah? And did we think that this was a genuinely funny show? All of these questions will be answered, plus Bowen and Wynter are all about new video games, and Matt can't stop listening to the new Gaga. In lieu of jams this week, we get a master class in the signature segment on the Las Culturistas podcast, "I Don't Think So Honey"-- things get rowdy.
We also want to thank everyone who donated during the MaxFun Drive this year, and give a particular shoutout to those who donated on our shows behalf. Tweet at us if you made a donation to us and didn't receive your voicemail from Karen Tongson.
If you will be in the Los Angeles area this Friday, April 21st, make sure to check out Matt and Bowen's improv group Pop Roulette at UCB Sunset at 10:30 p.m.
Guy Branum, Karen Tongson, Wynter Mitchell, and Bowen Yang, and Matt Rogers
Each week we'll add everyone's jams to this handy Spotify playlist.
You can let us know what you think of Pop Rocket and suggest topics in our Facebook group or via @PopRocket on Twitter.

Published at Sunday, April 21st, 2019 - 10:06:41 AM. Trekking Poles. By Robinette Colin.
To properly size your poles, stand upright and hold your elbows at a 90-degree angle. You should be able to hold the primary grip with the tip touching the floor. For difficult terrain and off-trail hiking, I prefer my poles shorter by a few centimeters. For long downhills, some people like to lengthen them.
In 2002, on day eight of my first-ever thru hike of the Appalachian Trail, I descended to the Nantahala Outdoor Center at mile 138 with a deflated spirit, a crushingly heavy pack, shin splints, and inflamed iliotibial bands. That afternoon, I shipped home a box of unnecessary gear, ate a cheeseburger, and traded the tree branches I'd been crutching on since day four for a new pair of Leki trekking poles. Trekking poles transfer load from legs to arms, helping to avoid injury and fatigue, and they were vital on my journey to Maine. The additional points of contact add stability on slippery or unstable surfaces, and on long trips they can even be used as tent poles with some backpacking shelters. I've brought a pair on every trip I've taken since that first Appalachian Trail journey, including expeditions that lasted months and covered thousands of miles.

Well folks, another Reader Survey – the fourth annual – has come and gone. I want to thank everyone who nominated wines this year and who voted in the survey. We had a great list of wines this year.
As I have written previously, my intention starting the Reader Survey four years ago was to hear about what Washington wines my readers thought were most exciting from the year gone by and what wines they were most excited about being released in the coming year. It was to get people talking about wines that excite them. That goal has remained.
The Preliminary Voting saw some challenges this year with ballot stuffing unfortunately leading to a disqualification of one of the wines. I'm sorry to say that Final Voting for Reader Survey 2011 Wine of the Year had similar issues, with a few individuals finding ways to vote scores of time for a particular wine to put it on top.
With no indication that this was done by individuals at the winery and not wishing to reflect negatively on this winery by disqualifying them and naming the runner up winner, I have rather decided to nullify the voting for the 2011 Reader Survey Wine of the Year completely.
This is disappointing, and I would like to apologize to the wineries that were finalists as well as to my readers. Please know that this was only done after an extensive analysis of voting patterns and the survey results.
I am, however, happy to say that I did not see any indication that similar machinations occurred in the Reader Survey 2012 Wine to Watch so those results will stand.
Given the difficulties of the survey this year, and the amount of time I took investigating them, I am sorry to say that, unless I can ensure that similar problems will not arise in the future, this will be the last Reader Survey. I'll see if I can find another way to promote similar conversations next year to keep the idea behind the survey alive in some way.
Look for a separate post about the 2012 Reader Survey Wine to Watch.

Bob Silver Says:
Wow, Sean. Tough call, but the right one. I applaud you for your commitment to the integrity of the survey and the process. It's more than some well-established, traditional media outlets do with similar surveys. This reinforces why WWR has become one of the leading sources of reliable news and information about the Washington wine industry.

Linux swap partition
Subject description: Does size matter?
No matter what they say it does. I was just wondering if there is a rule of thumb. Is there a min, max, fixed size, or is it proportional to ram.

Post subject: old rule
When I was an young sys admin back in the 80's the general rule was that a swap file should be no less than 1/4th the size of the main ram size. But those were days when ram was very expensive and disk packs the same.
With PCs and commodity pricing for drives what's it matter? If I build a Puppy box for HD install I just build 1- 1gb partition for swap and let it be finished. Smallest HD I find around the house right now is a 10GB drive. Small triffle to pay to just not fret about it.

Yes! Traditionally, 'doze uses a variable swap size, which it mixes with your regular files (where do they get these guys?!), but never more than twice the main RAM. All the major distros observe the same [2 x main] formula by default. From experiment, I have found that a maximum swap size equal to main memory is a good solution for Puppy provided:
a) not running excessively large apps or several large ones simultaneously
b) maximum of 256Mb swap for x86 single core cpu
c) for machines with very low memory, eg 48Mb, try to restrict swap space to one or 1.25x main, regardless. If apps won't run under these conditions, change the HW, eg add RAM, if possible. Even quite small swap space (<main) is worth installing on ancient kit with low resources.
Although we've had several detailed discussions about this subject previously (SEARCH), some correspondents are plain wrong, some lack practical experience and others provide theoretical background. What I say is based on solid practical experimentation. Overdo the swap space and you risk thrashing your HD to an early demise. You will have the pleasure of listening to this process.
Like everything else, there are exceptions, but sticking to the above is the best expedient unless one is very skilled in the art.
One interesting exception is to provide a (probably very old) small HD as swap only when running as a live CD. A 210Mb drive seems ideal and speeds things along nicely. Don't forget to format it. Even better would be to recycle an ex-laptop 2.5" unit of similar capacity - small, quiet, cool and modest power demand.

Thanks Sage,
Just what I was looking for, I noticed the swap partition makes a big difference. I'm kind of the go to guy when friends and family need their pc's fixed. A fresh Puppy boot disk sure cuts down on the tech support time and calls.

Sage is right on the money.
Swap is not meant to be used as RAM, but as "emergency" RAM. If you end up using it as much as RAM your computer will be so inefficient it will be practically useless.
I think that the rules of Swap size based on RAM size or HDD size are missleading. I think it's better to think of it based on, guess what: Swapping.
In my job as performance and capacity manager, one of the measurements we use as an indicator of the system Capacity is the ratio between Page input/Sec and RAM utilization. Optimally a system would have a high RAM utilization with minimal Page input/Sec. meaning that it has all the data it needs in real RAM and does not need to use swap at all.
If you have low memory (in relation to the apps you are using)
Even if you have multiple applications loaded If only use one application at a time, your ratio may be low as you would not be swapping too frequently. In that case It would be OK to have a larger Swap than memory as you'll have there the applications that you are not currently using and your RAM would be mostly used for the application you are using so here size matters.
If you are switching too frequently between applications, your ratio may be high as you would be swapping every time you switch to a different application. There your performance would be bad regardless of the size of the Swap partition, so size does not matter at all.
So the size of the Swap depends on how you use your computer. I guess that the only rule of thumb here is that you should use your computer according to its capacity.
Think of Swap as emergency RAM not as dynamically usable RAM. My favourite analogy is a work table (RAM) and drawers (Swap).
- If you are just writing one paper at a time, the size of the table does not matter, you can keep the rest of the papers on the drawers until you need them.
- If you are preparing your taxes youbetter have a large table or you will be wasting time taking the papers in and out of the drawers.
So size your Swap according to the usage and plan the usage according to the amount of RAM.
How to know if you are over taxing your computer? play by ear. literally. If you hear your HDD trashing constantly that means that your computer is constantly swapping. If you don't hear your HDD trashing constantly but every now and then you run out of memory, then increase the size of the Swap.
Or as Sage sugested, be generous with the Swap size and if you hear your HDD trashing constantly then either change your usage patterns (don't switch frequently between apps) or increase RAM.

Thank you Sage, the "right amount of swap" is a hard question to find good answers to, Windows or Linux. I have (someplace) a couple articles that basically say "You have to determine the correct amount of swap space, since it depends on what you do with your system how much RAM etc." With part 2 being "Here are the tools, how to use them & how to run the tests". They're for 9x era Windows.
It seams weird to me that the rule is "twice your RAM" in most cases. Isn't the point of buying more RAM so that you aren't using as much swap (swap being incredably slow in comparison to RAM). At some point you may be more demanding on your system and then need to increase swap/buy more RAM. But how often do you get "out of RAM" warnings? How much more often do you get "out of drive space"?
I can think of three times I've had to deal with a RAM limit:
1. attempting to load a mouse & netcard driver under DOS & use a program that wanted 620k of conventional RAM (ie ignoring everything above 640k, like that 2nd MB).
2. recently I was building gcc in a virtual machine. because I forgot the swapon command and I set the machine up with little ram.
3. Bootable CDs (puppy, gnewsense, freenas) that aren't always clear on how much ram they need to boot. Some are easier to find that info than others.
So having real numbers (with reasons) is a great help.
There is a yellow one that won't accept the black one
That won't accept the red one that won't accept the white one
And different strokes for different folks

I'm with Sage and rarsa on this, but I'd like to make a couple of small but important points:
1. Puppy is designed to load and run on older, ram-challenged PC's so swap IS an issue that can't always be avoided by simply adding RAM - of course the latter is the better choice, wherever possible.
2. For Puppy, 1x or 2x RAM is acceptable; usually 1x above 128Mb and 2x below that but never more than a maximum of 256Mb - Puppy is highly unlikely to use any more than that amount. If it does, get more RAM or a new PC or both.
3. Big swap partitions are a waste of space and may be injurious to the health of an older drive.
4,. For the average user, if you have 512Mb RAM or more your swap partition is superfluous in Puppy, and most other distros. It simply won't ever be used so why waste the space?
Hope that helps.

One final point: if you are thinking about using an encrypted pup_save, the only current workable solution (see the encryption threads) does not encrypt swap, which means anything you want to keep private may end up in cleartext on your swap partition. This is a gaping security hole.
Solution is to turn swap off entirely. This obviously pushes people in the direction of adding more ram...
Some day we may have an encryption solution that includes swap, but it will probably be a while.

Here is some data to confirm Sage's point. On a machine with 128 MB of memory and no swap partition, Puppy automatically created a 100 MB swapfile. When I ran the 'free' command, about half of the swap memory would be in use, but there was never a lot of hard drive thrashing. I then added another stick of memory for a total of 256 MB. Now the swap memory is rarely used at all, even with several applications open. For the average user, Puppy seems to be pretty good at determining its swap memory needs.

Post subject: OT
In our environment here @ work we had 250,000 pc's all running some version of Windows. Practically all of them are ghosted. We have toyed with the idea that switching to some version of linux as the costs for Vista are too steep. Looking at the variety of ways we use all this compute power the concensus was a 1Gb swap. It will end up being a goldilocks kind of story with maybe 25% of the machines being mismatched.
But our bigger problem from a corporate perspective is the labor. It costs too much to tweak each machine. So if we do this we will clone them to a base and only tweak critical machines based on exceptions.
At a personal level, I use a corporate laptop with puppy (CD/usb setup). It's got 1Gb of memory in it. In puppy mode? It runs like a solid state machine and the HD never spins it seems. In WinDoz mode? I can hear the hard drive spin as needed. Which is often.
Would I be able to get management to go to puppy? Probably not.

Would it be even advisable? absolutelly not. Is it desirable? I don't think so.
As much as I like Puppy for what I do, it is not a "one size fits all".
(I know that John knows but for the rest ...) Corporations require enterprise wide management applications such as directory services, remote ghosting, sw/hw inventory discovery, SMS push, different network protocols, etc.
For the people that complain that the "big distros" are too bloated, It may just be that they are on the "one size fits all" mentality. SE linux and firewalls and directory services are a must in some environments, rarelly they are required at home.

Thanx for the very good, detailed and informative discussion/info on swap partition size. I would like to bring up a few ideas so others can give feedback. Please bear in mind these are for users who dont mind a little, or a lot of, complexity. Also please remember that I, and others, use 'old' computers and squeezing more efficiency is worth a bit of effort.
1. One is the idea of using a few 'small' multiple swap partitions spread accross the disc surface. A regular poster mentioned that in some situations (uses of computers) this results in better performance. I think the situation involved small, frequent swaps combined with frequent access to non-swap partitions and maybe non-sequential data. One general point was to reduce the time & physical space the HD heads needed to move to get to a swap partition thereby increasing performance. a) What would the use conditions be that would make small, multiple swaps advantageous? b) How advantageous would this setup be?
2. What do people think of the idea of having 2 swap partitions for different needs and just mounting/unmounting as needed. The 'default' swap for most common use is/would be autoloaded if it is the first on the drive*. The second swap, or both, could be mounted when appropriate for the computer's less common uses or 'styles of use'. For example a bare-minimum size swap to decrease drive access/thrash (and increase performance?). Another swap could be mounted to make a larger total swap space when running excessively large apps or several large ones simultaneously.
Im interested in part because on this machine when setting up the hard drive i was reading conflicting information about swap size and was having trouble deciding but I just wanted to set it up so i made 2 swap partitions (200 & 300) which i figured i could play/experiment with and later modify into less swap(s) or swap and an additional OS partition. It seemed less problematic to start large and later shrink than to start small and later resize partitions
to make more swap space.
*personal experience.

I'd say that if in your environment you are worried by swap performance, then Puppy is probably not the distro for you.

I strongly concur with Rarsa's assessment:
A = Taylor size to proven need
B - Be just as cognizant of
of all partitions, Esp Swap (drive head movement - seek, read/write In/out times)
C- Be aware that for temp use -swap files may be created, deleted
as need arises.
D - Strongly advise (for those with proven need only)
& set
factor !
E - Use of a larger ( than required) Swap partition will NOT cause hard drive thrashing !
That ONLY occurs if physcial RAM is insufficient and tasks are VERY memory intensive.
In summation:
Use of tmpfs
sizes space needs > pages in/out only portions, upon load demand from user syscall interupts.
Puppy is NOT a recommended plalform for those user requirements.
Puppy would not be a suitable match for
many other
.... just as relevant considerations under those circumstances.
> It doesn't (default include) other utilities, equally as important
to tasking involved.
Frequently that scenario will involve EVMS, quotas and shared resources - &/or remote administration, team Mgt.
Example : I habitually create three 2GIG swap partitions, toggle on/off as need arises
However, my physical RAM is large enough -& tested under abnormally LARGE simultaneous copy loads -
And while concurrently backgrounding (man nice) compiling of large Apps - the CPU often hits sustained 98% load factors - swap still not used.
= Puppy is ill suited platform for non-common usage.

Beat stress and get happy with these good-mood moves.
This pose circulates blood to the head and stretches the back. Start on all fours, with hands under your shoulders. Curl your toes, take a breath, and, as you exhale, press into your hands, lifting your hips back. Holding the pose, keep your spine straight (bending your knees if need be) and your weight resting evenly between the legs and arms.
This pose stretches the back and hamstrings. Standing tall with your feet hip-width apart, inhale and sweep your arms overhead. As you exhale, lift your tailbone and begin to bend forward from your hips, sweeping your arms with you as you go down. Keep your spine long and straight as you move, bending at the knees if need be. To return to standing, curl up slowly, one vertebra at a time.
This pose increases leg, back, and arm strength. Standing at the top of your mat, step your right foot back about 4 feet and turn it 90 degrees to the right. Turn your left foot slightly in. Adjust your torso so that it faces to your right, inhale, and raise your arms out, shoulder blades wide, palms down. Exhale, bending your left knee until your thigh is parallel to the mat. Switch sides.
This pose builds core strength and creates heat in the body. Start seated -- legs together, knees bent, feet planted on the floor. Holding the back of your thighs, rock your weight back so it rests between the sitting bones. Lift your feet, knees still bent, keeping your lower back drawn inward. Inhale and extend your legs. Let go of the back of your legs, and extend your arms out parallel to the floor.
This pose opens the chest. Lie on your back with feet planted close to your buttocks, palms on the floor. Breathe in, and, as you exhale, press into your feet to lift your tailbone. Clasp your hands together underneath you and walk your shoulder blades closer together so your weight rests on your posterior shoulders and feet. Lift your hips upward.
This pose lengthens the spine, stretches the tops of your feet, and relaxes your body. Starting on your hands and knees, arms underneath your shoulders, pull your hips back so your buttocks rest on your feet and your torso on your thighs. Keep your forehead on the mat and let gravity help you sink into the pose. Shift your arms to the left and right for a deeper oblique stretch.

The Academy has confirmed that it will send Heath Ledger's Oscar to Michelle Williams for safe keeping until their daughter, Matilda, reaches the age of 18.
This finally settles the debate on the ownership of the Oscar, according to the Herald Sun. Ownership of the award was in question after comments made by Ledger's father, Kim, last month when he accepted the prize at the Academy Awards.
"She can't sign for it until she's 18, so it stays in trust here or in Australia," Kim Ledger said of his three-year-old granddaughter at a press conference in Hollywood's Kodak Theater, according to the Herald Sun.
Under Academy rules posthumous Oscars go to the next of kin. The Academy expects to have the Oscar delivered Sunday to Williams once the engraving is completed.
Ledger won the Oscar for Best Actor in a Supporting Role last month and swept almost every competition for his role as the Joker in "The Dark Knight." The Golden Globe was sent to Ledger's publicists in New York who also represent Williams, according to the Herald Sun. The Screen Actors Guild award he won in January still sits without an owner as the necessary paperwork has not been completed, according to the site.

Seven break-ins in a week in Pawcatuck
Stonington — Police said Tuesday that three more Pawcatuck homes were burglarized in the last 24 hours, bringing the total to seven that have been the target of break-ins in Pawcatuck in less than a week.
While the town had a total of 83 burglaries last year, it is unusual to have so many in such a short period of time.
Police said Tuesday that unoccupied homes near Pawcatuck Middle School and on upper Liberty Street were targeted in this latest round of burglaries. The news came after police said last week that four homes on Courtland Street, Field Street and Lathrop Avenue were broken into late Wednesday night.
Police Capt. Jerry Desmond said the burglaries took place in homes that appeared to be unoccupied, and the burglar or burglars forced their way inside.
"It seems to be that they were looking for vacant homes," he said.
Desmond said household items, cash and valuables were taken. He said there was a good possibility the burglaries are connected. He said extra officers are being assigned to patrols areas where the break-ins occurred.
Desmond urged residents to be vigilant and immediately report any suspicious activity they see, even if it seems minor, to police at (860) 599-4411.
He said some residents who live near the recently targeted homes later told police they saw something unusual but did not think much of it at the time. Desmond said such information reported immediately could help police apprehend the burglars.
The police department sent out email alerts about the burglaries to residents and businesses Tuesday afternoon and fielded calls from concerned residents.
Desmond also urged residents to take steps to not only secure their homes but to also record serial numbers and take photographs of their valuables in case they are stolen. This measure will help police track the items if they are stolen.

Sony has released a new story trailer for Resistance: Burning Skies and some details about the new enemy and weapon that can be seen in the trailer as well.
On the PS Blog, SCEA Associate Product Marketing Manager Derek Osgood released the trailer, in addition to some story details. August 15, 1951 is the day that the Chimeran invasion begins in New York City and when fireman and protagonist Tom Riley finds himself caught in the conflict. Riley is determined to find his wife and daughter, Natalie and Rachel, and fight the Chimeran menace. His story runs parallel to Nathan Hale's return from Europe in Resistance 2.
The trailer, which consists of both a comic book-style cutscene explaining some of the story and in-game footage, shows a new enemy and a new weapon during the in-game footage portion. The new enemy is the Executioner, a large Chimeran enemy with a cannon for an arm. The new weapon is the Hunter Rifle, the Chimeran burst-rifle carbine that is the predecessor to the Marksman in Resistance 3.
To view the story trailer, click on the video below:
Resistance: Burning Skies will be released exclusively for PlayStation Vita on May 29th.

Funeral service set for 13 year old killed in shooting | News
CLAYTON COUNTY, Ga. -- The funeral service for 13-year old Steven Diaz is scheduled for Friday at the Mission San Felipe de Jesus at 925 Conley Road.
His mother says she feels peace knowing an arrest has been made in his death.
On Monday, Clayton County Police say Gilberto Gomez and Sergio Alvear, both 18, killed 13-year old Steven Diaz after a failed attempt to steal a truck.
Clayton County Police Maj. Johnny Robinson said Gomez pulled the trigger, while Alvear beat up Diaz' sister's truck and stole her necklace.
The two made their first appearance in magistrate court on Thursday and were denied bond.
Family of both suspects sat in the back of the courtroom, many of them crying.
A woman, identifying herself only as Gomez's girlfriend, described him as a family man and says if the allegations are true, they would be completely out of character.
Police told 11Alive Gomez admitted to the killing, using a stolen 12 gauge shotgun in the crime. Investigators say the suspects were after the truck's specialized butterfly doors, similar in style to a Lamborghini's.
Both suspects have been charged with murder, aggravated assault and armed robbery. Alvear is also charged with criminal damage, while Gomez faces charges of firearm possession and theft by receiving.
Police said they are still searching for a third suspect. Family members of Gomez and Alvear may also face charges.
Meanwhile, people from across the community are showing support for the family. Tuesday people delivered food, money and other goods to comfort Diaz' family.
PHOTOS | Remembering Steven Diaz
Leave condolences for the Diaz family; we'll make sure they get your kind words.
The shooting happened at the Bradford Ridge Apartments on Sylvia Drive in unincorporated Forest Park.
Clayton County Police Officer Phong Nguyen said Diaz was helping his sister put air in the tire of her car when the two suspects drove up and demanded keys and belongings.
The suspects stole the sister's necklace and tried to crank her car. When it wouldn't start, they began shooting, Nguyen said.
Diaz was hit in the leg by a bullet and later died at the hospital.
His football coach at Babb Middle School told 11Alive's Jerry Carnes the young man played like a giant.
"He gave his heart," the coach said. "He didn't back down to any challenge in practice, and he didn't back down in the classroom."
Friends say he loved sports, music and dressing up for Halloween. He talked to friends and family about joining the military or becoming a DJ.
Family and friends slowly gathered inside Atlanta Mortuary Service in Hapeville for a visitation on Thursday, still in shock as to why they were there.
His sister is relying on her faith to find comfort. She believes her little brother has angel wings now.

Using .htpasswd With Your Linux Shared Hosting Account
To protect a directory in your hosting account with a password, in that directory, create an .htaccess file that contains the following:
AuthUserFile /yourabsolutehostingpath/.htpasswd
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
AuthName "EnterPassword"
AuthType Basic
require valid-user
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
AuthName "EnterPassword"
AuthType Basic
require valid-user
/yourabsolutehostingpath is your hosting account's absolute hosting path. For more information, see Find your absolute path.
The AuthUserFile describes where the Web server looks for the .htpasswd file. The .htpasswd file contains a list of users who have access to a protected directory and their hashed passwords. There are a number of tools available online to create .htpasswd files.
Note: Our servers are configured to prevent the downloading of both .htaccess and .htpasswd files.

His archives at the Eastman Kodak House contain an entire section known as the Delphinium Papers, devoted to his passion for plant breeding.
|Edward Steichen with delphiniums (c. 1938), Umpawaug House (Redding, Connecticut). Photo by Dana Steichen. Gelatin silver print. Edward Steichen Archive, VII. The Museum of Modern Art Archive
|Edward Steichen (American, b. Luxembourg 1879-1973), Delphiniums,1940, dye imbibition process. Bequest of Edward Steichen by Direction of Joanna T. Steichen © Joanna T. Steichen from the Eastman Kodak Archive blog
In June 1936 his flowers were the subject of an eponymous show at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Edward Steichen's Delphiniums showed the preternaturally tall, unusually colored delphs for a week, taking pains to remind prospective visitors that the exhibit was not photos of plants, it was the real thing! Unwilling to entrust his precious blooms to some mere art handler, Steichen trucked them to the museum galleries himself from his 400 acre farm (10 planted solely in delphiniums) near Redding, Connecticut.
|Installation view of the exhibition, Edward Steichen's Delphiniums. June 24, 1936 through July 1, 1936. The Museum of Modern Art, New York. Photograph by Edward Steichen
It was the first and only MoMA show dedicated to flowers.
It is now also considered the first intersection between genetic modification and art: Steichen applied colcichine, a chemical mutagen that induces chromosome doubling, to his delphiniums. The normal delphinium of the day was three to four feet tall; Steichen's could be seven, as seen below in the white behemoth he named for his brother in-law the poet Carl Sandburg. His most popular variety, the Connecticut Yankee, was named as an homage to Mark Twain and is still commercially available.
MoMA has also placed on line the original press release for the delphinium exhibition, and this is my favorite bit:
How much does gardenhistorygirl want to see an exhibition of giant delphiniums next to a display of Modern Architecture? So much.
The press release records that Steichen had been working on his delphiniums "for twenty-six years", that he had been interested in the cross-breeding and selection of flowers since "thirty years ago" but that his particular interest in delphiniums dated to 1906, which even precedes his time at Voulangis par Crècy-en Brie, a village just northeast of Paris where the Steichens lived from 1908 until the outbreak of World War I in 1914.

I have never had success with delphiniums in my brutal Oklahoma summers. But I will try again, in a rare shady spot in my garden, with Connecticut Yankees, for Edward Steichen's sake.
I first found information on Steichen's delphiniums in an article by Ceila Hartmann at the MoMA blog.
There are two sources I haven't been able to access: a full account of the exhibit in Gedrim, Ronald J. "Edward Steichen's 1936 Exhibition of Delphinium Blooms," in: History of Photography (vol. 17, No. 4, Winter 1993, London: Taylor and Francis), pp.352-363, and "Delphinium, delphinium and more delphinium!" by Steichen himself published in the journal of the New York Botanical Garden, The Garden (March 1949). If you have a copy of either please share them!
The Heavy Roses image is widely available around the web but the one in this post is from Christies, where the original sold for $108,000 in 2005.
See also an enlightening local history article about Steichen's time in Redding Connecticut.
Lumiere Press has published a very beautiful and equivalently expensive volume of newly discovered photos from Steichen's time in Voulangis.
