Subject description: Configurable screen capture utility
PupSnap Screen Capture
Purpose and Base Features
PupSnap is a graphical user interface for Scrot (SCReenshOT) which is a command-line screen capture utility that uses the imlib2 library to acquire and save images.
Capture options
1 -
user choice (conventional name, current date, or automatic enumeration)
2 -
current date and time (date +%F_%R:%S)
3 -
0-60 seconds, or user choice
4 -
jpg, png, bmp, tiff
5 -
JPG Quality:
(10-100) higher values indicate lower JPG compression (larger file size) and higher image quality. In PupSnap, this option has no impact on BMP, PNG or TIFF images (see Setup Recommendations below).
6 -
select Default (original image size), or percent of the original image size (10-95), or standard pixel width (600px, 640px, 768px, 800px, 1024px, 1152px, 1280px, 1360px, 1366px, 1400px, 1440px, 1600px, 1680px, 1920px)
7 -
full-screen, or interactively select a window or rectangular ROI
Post-capture options
1 -
File Folder:
user choice (the default save folder is /root/my-documents/images/)
2 -
File Manager:
ROX-Filer (if ROX is not available, PupSnap defaults to Thunar, PCManFM, SpaceFM or Xfe)
3 -
Image Editor:
defaultpaint, gimp, inkscape, mtpaint, LO-sdraw, OO-sdraw, xaralx
4 -
Image Viewer:
defaultimageviewer, fotoxx, geeqie, gpicview, gqview, gwenview, ristretto, viewnior, xnview
5 -
Quick-view of captured image:
automatic after capture, and on-demand at any time
6 -
Image Hosting:
upload screenshots (or any local image) to the imgur.com image hosting service
Setup Recommendations
Lossless file formats: BMP, PNG, TIFF
Lossless file compression means no image quality is lost when data is compressed and saved. As a general rule, with PupSnap (Scrot and the imlib2 library), you can ignore the Quality option when acquiring images in the BMP or TIFF formats. BMP images are saved with no compression, and TIFF images are saved with uniformly high compression at all Quality settings. The BMP format still enjoys widespread familiarity in the Microsoft Windows OS, while the TIFF format is popular with graphic artists and photographers, and has great utility in the publishing industry.
In PupSnap, the Quality setting of '0' is automatically applied when images are acquired in the PNG format. This default value overrides the other Quality settings for PNG images in Scrot, and approximates the maximum compression level of 9 in the GIMP and mtPaint graphic editors. Consequently, PupSnap provides PNG images of high (lossless) quality and convenient size (in kilobytes).
Lossy file format: JPG
Lossy file compression means some of the image quality is permanently lost when data in the JPG format is compressed and saved. Specifically, the JPG compression algorithm is very efficient and has the capacity to produce very small files (for web pages or email), but image quality degrades incrementally with each lower Quality setting (greater compression). Even at the maximum Quality setting of 100, there is moderate file compression and a slight loss of image quality. In most instances, depending on display requirements, Quality settings of 75-85 will produce compressed JPG images of acceptable quality and size, though lower values may be useful in some applications. Considering the limitations of the lossy JPG format, you may find the lossless PNG format is a better alternative for capturing screen images that retain high quality with data compression.
1 - PupSnap supports a wide range of image editors and viewers. However, if your favorite graphics program is not included in the PupSnap support database, you can manually add the name of the executable to the appropriate combobox, with path or command switches if needed.
2 - Program access is by Puppy Menu->Graphic->PupSnap, or by the default Ctrl+Shift+S hotkey shortcut which is configured for IceWm, JWM, Openbox, Fluxbox, LXDE and LXPanel.
3 - Capture modes include full-screen, window and region (ROI). The window option can be selected with or without border decoration.
4 - The default image capture is full-size, but PupSnap also facilitates the acquisition of reduced-size images (thumbnails) which are available as a percentage of the original image size. Additionally, an array of pixel-options will capture images in standard screen sizes, or you can manually enter the desired pixel dimensions (width x height) in the Size option. For example, enter 200x0 to capture an image with a 200-pixel width. The '0' in the second field indicates the height of the captured image will be proportional to the selected width, and the aspect-ratio of the image is preserved automatically. For those who post images to the Puppy forum, the 800px option will automatically reduce a large screenshot to the maximum 800-pixel width which is forum compatible. However, many prefer a maximum width of 600 pixels to better comply with forum etiquette.
5 - PupSnap requires a file name for the captured image and gently reminds us if the Name entry box is blank.
6 - The default data for the Name entry box is the most recent prior capture. You can enter a new name for the next screen capture, or simply proceed with the acquisition and PupSnap will append a new name, with sequential enumeration — such as image-1 or image-2. If the file name selected in the entry box already exists in the current capture folder, PupSnap will not duplicate the name or overwrite the file, but will assign a new file name automatically, with enumeration.
7 - The Date option (date +%F_%R:%S) will assign the current date and time to the file name. When the Date checkbox is selected, PupSnap ignores the Name entry box. Conversely, when the checkbox is not selected (default mode), PupSnap ignores the Date option.
8 - When a capture option is selected, PupSnap will briefly close, conveniently excluding the GUI window from the captured image.
9 - When selecting a small capture region, start on the right side to avoid border artifacts.
10 - The optional 'Image Host' tab of PupSnap provides an intuitive interface for uploading screenshots (or any local image) to the popular imgur.com image hosting service. For screenshots, the image-file name and path are added automatically to the selection box of the Host tab. For local images, you can use the File-selector button, or drag-and-drop image files from ROX-Filer. If xclip or xsel are available, the uploaded image URL is sent automatically to the corresponding clipboard. Help resources and usage tips are available in the Imgur online FAQ. If desired, you can disable/remove this option by deselecting the 'Image Host' checkbox and restarting PupSnap.
PupSnap-2.6 requires gtkdialog4 (0.7.21 or greater)
For most Puppy derivatives
For Slacko64, Tahrpup64, Xenialpup64, Quirky/Easy OS
Language support:
Currently Spanish (gettext by vicmz)
If the NLS pet is required, please install before the main PupSnap pet.

This is a great little snapshot utility that is simple to use and can easily capture a window or just a segment of the desktop. This results in a smaller file size. Most advanced capture utility I've seen for Puppy.

Jim and nooby, I appreciate the positive feedback. The Scrot command-line capture utility has been around for years and is very capable, and most of those features are now quickly available in the PupSnap GUI. You can preset the output quality and dimensions of the captured image, all the way down to thumbnail graphics for use on webpages, and I think the ability to automatically send images to your favorite graphic editor is a feature that most will find useful.

When exiting PupSnap, please use the GUI
button. Terminating by Alt+F4 or by clicking the X in the title bar will disrupt configuration settings.

Hi ttuuxxx,
Your Pup-Shots program is a fine utility and you have done a great job in providing a very nice graphical interface for the scrot capture utility. However, the underlying command structure is quite different in Pup-Shots and PupSnap. The only similarity is that both programs use scrot and the imlib2 library to capture a screen image. That said, I have enjoyed your program, and I'm sure many others find it equally useful. Hopefully, the Puppy community will find a place for both Pup-Shots and PupSnap.
Thanks for your thoughts,

Post subject: Updated PupSnap-1.3
PupSnap-1.3 uploaded to the forum on 2/12/2011 has an error in the GUI display at higher global screen dpi settings. This error has been corrected for both pets in the upload of 2/13/2011. The version number has not changed. Those who downloaded yesterday may want to retrieve the updated version.

Thanks this is very nice. At first I thought Pup-Shots was better but I have found that I like this one more.
I have a customised "jwmrc-personal". PupShap puts the hotkey in a comment. So of course it does not work. I would also recommend changing the hotkey to using a "win/super/hyper/meta" key or changing it to use the "Print Screen" key.
Here is the part of my "jwmrc-personal" config that PupSnap puts the hotkey in:
<!-- The move mode (outline or opaque) -->
<!-- The resize mode (outline or opaque) -->
<!-- Key bindings -->
<!-- The mask of "H" is for the Win/Super key. -->
<!-- Disabled due to bug in Wary 500.
<Key mask="H" key="m">exec:pmount</Key>
<Key mask="H" key="f">exec:rox --dir="/"</Key>
<Key mask="H" key="t">exec:rxvt</Key>
<Key mask="H" key="r">exec:gmrun</Key>
<Key mask="H" key="s">exec:sleep 1 && xset dpms force off</Key>
<Key mask="H" key="Up">exec:amixer set Master 5%+</Key>
<Key mask="H" key="Down">exec:amixer set Master 5%-</Key>
<Key mask="H" key="q">exec:amixer set Master toggle</Key>
<Key mask="CS" key="s">exec:PupSnap</Key>
<Key mask="H" key="d">showdesktop</Key>
<Key mask="ACS" key="d">showdesktop</Key>
<Key key="XF86AudioRaiseVolume">exec:amixer set Master 5%+</Key>
I do like the error sound feature.
Which puppy version was the Scot binary compiled on?
adobe flash is rubbish!

Hi abushcrafter,
Thanks for your comments and helpful suggestions. The current default 'Ctrl+Shift+S' keyboard shortcut in PupSnap is one that does not interfere with the hotkeys of other common programs, and is configured to install automatically in IceWM, JWM, Fluxbox, LXPanel and Openbox. Of course, such automation assumes a relatively standard configuration file in each panel or window manager. Custom configurations, as in your example of a jwmrc-personal file with commented code, may exclude the key binding from the command sequence.
I really like the idea of linking the keyboard shortcut to a "win/super/hyper/meta" key, or to the standard "Print Screen" key. However, with the initial installation I did not want to automatically add a hotkey sequence that potentially could overwrite the keyboard shortcut of another program — such as a screen capture utility which is already linked by keycode="111" to the "Print Screen" key in JWM.
I do like the error sound feature.
Just a gentle reminder for those (like me) who forget to name the captured image.
Which puppy version was the Scrot binary compiled on?
4.3.1, but also works well on current 32-bit derivatives of Puppy 5.
Thanks again abushcrafter for your thoughts.

How to properly promenade your pooch in public
[Community]-dwelling dogkeepers are faced with greater challenges than their suburban and rural counterparts. Without a large, fenced yard for exercise, the city dweller must take to the streets three or more times a day with Fido or Fifi in tow. Crowded sidewalks replete with joggers, and double-wide strollers turn each outing into an obstacle course. The following tips will make walks safer and more enjoyable for you, your dog and your neighbors.
It's the Law
Most cities and counties [and homeowner associations] have some form of leash, license and pick-up-after-your-dog laws. These ordinances are designed to protect both the dog and the community at large. When leashed, a dog is safe from traffic and unable to follow his instincts to chase children, investigate garbage cans or dig up landscaping. Whether a dog is friendly or aggressive, a leash keeps him in check and allows the public to pass undisturbed. Some communities have leash-length restrictions. Whether it's the law or not, keep leashes to six feet or less on public sidewalks. Retractable leashes should not be used in areas frequented by joggers, skaters or cyclists; the thin line blends into the background and, all too often, athlete and dog collide.
Licensing a dog enables an animal control agency to return a lost pet to his rightful owner. Also, licensing fees often support local animal control efforts. In addition, the number of licenses issued gives government officials an idea of how many dogs are in the community, statistics that are very helpful when planning dog runs, shelter expansions and the like.
Pooper-scooper laws are essential for both the health and beautification of the community. Canine diseases and parasites are often shed in feces, which puts other dogs and children at risk. And no one enjoys maneuvering through unsightly piles of dog waste when out for a stroll. Pick up feces using a plastic bag, and knot the top to control odor and flies before disposing of it in a waste receptacle. Train your dog to urinate in gutters or on nonliving vertical surfaces, such as lampposts or hydrants. Avoid trees and flowerbeds.
Etiquette Lessons and Safety Tips
The well-trained city dog needs to respond to a minimum of four basic commands: "Sit-Stay," "Heel," "Leave it" and "Come." When you're waiting at a traffic light, a dog in a sitstay is out of harm's way. And while walking nicely on a loose leash is enough for most forays, there are times when your dog will need to be at heel position, which keeps her under control at your side.
The command "Leave it" is employed when it is necessary for Fido to avert his gaze. Whether he's being tantalized by chicken bones or a jogger, getting your dog to break eye contact with "forbidden fruit" before he acts enables you to draw his attention to safer rewards and pursuits. Or, should the dog slip his collar or break his leash, a recall command ("Come") could save his life. Most, if not all, of these commands are taught in basic obedience/manners class. Contact your local shelter for a referral to a class near you.
Remember that dogs can be frightened by sudden loud noises, such as running children, motorcycles, skateboarders and in-line skaters, to name a few. Be aware that such situations may demand quick and complete control on your part to prevent your dog from lunging or biting.
Before leaving home to run errands with your dog by your side, take a moment to consider which places permit dogs and which do not. For your pet's safety, leave him at home when he is not allowed to go into an establishment with you. A dog left tied to a post or parking meter is an easy target for teasing or theft.
Remember the Good Neighbor Policy
Keep in mind that not everyone loves dogs, so it's up to the urban dogkeeper to present a dog who is well-socialized and under control. When riding in an elevator, sit your dog in a far corner to avoid door-dashing each time the elevator makes a stop. Do not allow Fido to jump up on other riders, even when the greeting is friendly. Hurry through lobbies or take freight elevators and back exits if the building rules mandate it. Never allow your dog to soil in front of the building's entrance. If you have a young pup or dog-in-training who can't control himself, be sure to carry paper towels and odor neutralizer.
Many dogs enjoy the company of other canines, but always ask before allowing your animal to launch himself at another dog—for both their sakes. The same is true regarding children. First ask the child or her parent, "May my dog say hello to you?" before allowing physical contact. The greeting should not include jumping, bouncing off or grabbing at the child—even if it is done in the spirit of friendliness. If your dog is physically challenging, consider using a head halter for better control.
When we choose to keep dogs in crowded urban areas, we take on additional responsibilities. Unfortunately, when little consideration is shown for the neighbors, more doors close to dogkeepers. On the other hand, with a little training and thoughtfulness, more businesses and public areas will begin to put out the welcome mat for both you and your dog.

Katy Perry Tweets Picture of John Mayer in Santa Costume
Ho ho ho! John Mayer is so much more than a cad with a big mouth when it comes to relationships. The singer-songwriter and guitarist is also a great role player.
His GF Katy Perry tweeted a picture of him in a Santa Claus costume -- giving off a sly grin in place of the furry white beard -- on Christmas.
Perry added "Santa Baby" as the caption, which also affirms their status as a couple. You don't call a guy "baby," Santa outfit or not, unless things are romantic! It's a foregone conclusion at this point.
Mayer and Perry reportedly spent the holiday with her family in Santa Barbara, Calif. Word is that Mayer gave Perry a customized guitar as a present, as well. How thoughtful of him!
Us Weekly reports that the musical twosome is "seriously in love and exclusive" and that Mayer loves how "cool and smart she is." The source also said that Mayer is determined to shed his previous rep as a serial dater who blabs about his relationships. (He once referred to Jessica Simpson as "sexual napalm.")
But that's all Mayer of old. The insider said, "John has proved he's matured and learned from his mistakes . . . Katy is blown away."
The duo also visited a local hospital on Dec. 22, making the charitable rounds for the holiday.
My, what a difference a year makes. Last year at this time, Perry announced that she and hubby Russell Brand were splitting. Now, she is coupled up with a fellow musician and has moved on.
Perry and Mayer seem to be a good fit because of their musical nature. Earlier this month, they were snapped taking in a Rolling Stones gig in New Jersey.

Returning to the town that Walmart left behind
Clip: 02/10/2019 | 8m 5s
For nearly 20 years retailers in downtown Winnsboro, South Carolina struggled to compete with Walmart's cheap products and one-stop shopping. As we reported in 2016, Walmart closed its supercenter there three years ago, one of 154 stores it shuttered across the country that year. NewsHour Weekend's Christopher Booker returned to see what life after Walmart is like for the small American town.

"Doing business without advertising is like winking at a girl in the dark. You know what you are doing, but nobody else does." -Stuart H. Britt
Whenever I go to the movies I arrive very early, not just to get the best seat, but to watch the previews. From billboards, posters, cereal boxes to Super Bowl commercials, I have always been a fan of advertising. In my career in advertising, a Creative Director once told me that the best ads aren't the ones that look good, but the ones that communicate. EVERY INDUSTRY has done their fair share of ADVERTISING.
Recently, I found these "Retro" lacrosse-themed-ads. As an "Ad guy" and business owner, I just had to share it with the everybody–the lax audience. I can go on with my personal art/design criticism but this IS NOT an art class. I'll just let these advertisements speak for themselves and hopefully, we'll get some readers who remember seeing these and give their stories, as well.
My attempt to do a Google "commercial", here.

Go ahead, be a burden to your adult children
Parents put a great deal of effort into caring for their kids. When the time comes, it's OK to let them return the favor.
My father came home from his service in the Marines in the South Pacific to marry the redheaded girl of his dreams, whom he'd met at St. Francis De Sales in the fifth grade. She'd written to him daily and he'd written her back, making plans for the future they hoped for together. They moved into an apartment over a funeral home in Detroit and he went to mortuary school, working evenings while she began to raise the inevitable family.
There would be nine of us in all, six sons and three daughters, a living testament to their love of children and their lifelong romance with each other. Both of them saw us through all the burdens of parenting—Little League games and dance classes, measles and poxes, mumps and flus, heartbreaks and curiosities, triumphs and tantrums. They saw us through first days at school, first dates, first mortgages, and last details.
Each of us was a burden to them, and the bearing of those multiple burdens defined them and shaped what would become their lives. By their own testimony we were the greatest blessings of their lives, the surest sign of God's grace, and for all the trouble we most certainly gave them, we never doubted they regarded us as gifts.
Since my wife and I have become parents ourselves, we too have experienced the mystery by which our greatest burdens become our greatest blessings. That is why I have always mistrusted the conventional wisdom that we should not be a burden to our children. If bearing the burdens of our children's lives has given blessed meaning to ours, why oughtn't bearing the burdens of our age and infirmity and eventual deaths give meaning and purpose and its special tuition to them?
The celebration of life's joyful mysteries—births, baptisms, weddings, and reunions—brings an accentuated beauty to those events. Likewise the bearing of life's burdens, including sadness, sickness, and even death, gives perspective to our human experience.
Of course, sometimes not wanting to "be a burden" stands in for the less noble truth that we can't bear the wound to our pride involved in sharing decisions about our lives and circumstances with those who care most deeply about our welfare. Possibly it is God's wry-humored reversal of circumstance that toddlers and teenagers who must submit to parental guidance, scrutiny, and loving care grow into adult children who must negotiate how to guide, advise, and lovingly care for parents who resist—with the same outrage as teenagers—their sons' and daughters' efforts to lovingly assist. When to quit driving after dark, climbing the stairs, patching the roof, living alone. How to ask for help, how to be more grateful than begrudging. These are all stages in the fullness of time by which we negotiate the balance between autonomy and family.
Following a career path that eventually led my father to the ownership of several funeral homes, a partnership with his sons, and the recognition that the burdens he bore to make his dreams realities were well worth it, he enjoyed a semiretirement at Mullett Lake in the section of Michigan known as the "tip of the Mitt," just south of the bridge that separates the lower and upper peninsulas.
He and our mother were living the dream until she was stricken with lung cancer, which in 18 months left her dead and him widowed. The father of nine, grandfather of 20, and friend to hundreds suddenly felt very much alone.
I made an extra effort to spend more time with my dad following my mother's death. It never felt like a burden. Two years into widowhood, following a major heart attack, my dad ended up in the ER of the local hospital. I arrived there within minutes. Looking through his glazed-over beautiful blue eyes, he removed the oxygen mask to utter these instructions: "You'll know what to do."
He was correct. I felt blessed that he had enough confidence in me that the decisions that were being faced as to his medical care and even his possible funeral arrangements would be handled properly at my direction.
Though a funeral director for more than 40 years, our father never felt compelled to tell his children how to handle his funeral. We knew what to do. We embalmed our dad, arranged the newspaper notifications, contacted the church to work out the liturgical details, secured the Marine Corps to provide military honors for one of their own, ordered the casket and burial vault, and saw to the grave opening. These were the basics.
Then we set out to the finer details, such as who would speak at his funeral, who would serve as pallbearers, how to involve the grandchildren, which songs to choose for the Mass, and all the other details surrounding the Roman Catholic burial rite.
My father's experience taught him that family members bearing the burdens of grief by actively involving themselves in the rituals of mourning makes grief more bearable and gives our rituals a deeper meaning. In my own experience as a funeral director for nearly 40 years now, his wisdom has become more and more clear to me.
The preplanning for the inevitable reality of death has been around for a long time. People bought family plots at the cemetery. They purchased insurance policies or established funeral funds at the bank. Husbands and wives certainly discussed their thoughts on the matter: "Will we be buried with your people or mine?"
Then in the 1970s through the 1990s, coincidental to the aging of the greatest generation, cemeteries and funeral homes began actively marketing prearranged funerals. Marketing bromides like "Spare your family the grief," "Don't be a burden to your children," and "Prepay now to lock in prices" popped up in church bulletins, newspapers, and yellow pages everywhere.
People of the targeted demographic were telemarketed, junk-mailed, and cold-called into the belief that preplanning and prepaying their own funerals was the correct thing to do. By making all the decisions surrounding one's death and funeral, families would be spared grief and unburdened. "It's your funeral, have it your way" was part of the pitch.
The problem with all of this is that often arrangements were made without consultation with or consideration of family members. And while the intentions were usually well-meaning, things didn't always turn out the way people had hoped. Husbands insisted that no fuss be made. Wives felt compelled to abide by instructions that were sometimes not in their best interests. And children and grandchildren were completely excluded from the discussion.
Family members were left to abide by arrangements that might be unsatisfying to them, or they had to go against the wishes of the deceased to meet their own needs. Neither of these unintended results is preferable to an open dialogue prior to, or during, advance planning.
What has been learned from this is that the involvement of family members who will survive to experience the arrangements is critically important. Thus when our funeral homes are contacted to assist an individual or couple with their advance planning needs, we always encourage them to include their extended family in the conversation. This is a wonderful opportunity to discuss the wants and needs, joys and sorrows, hurts and hopes of all parties involved. People making advance funeral plans for themselves are best advised to offer thoughts and suggestions rather than demands and requirements.
Conversations about our mortality can be difficult, even burdensome. But like the conversations that generations of parents have had with their children about life, love, heartache, and happiness, these are the conversations that give our lives meaning, substance, and a deep sense of purpose.
End-of-life preparations for aging parents are multifaceted. When is it appropriate to discuss the immobility associated with no longer being able to drive, the confinement of assisted living, or the resentment that often follows dependence on others? Members of the sandwich generation, who feel responsible for the generation before them and the one behind, are faced with similar concerns surrounding their parents and children, principally when to push back and when to give in.
The occupancy of this place is both burdensome and blessed. The best way to make a decision that will be life-altering is to think about it, pray about it, talk with your family about it, and seek the good counsel of trusted professionals. Having done all these things, "You'll know what to do."

11% - Object as if I were a teenager being given an unreasonable curfew.
9% - Pretend to go along but try to outwit them whenever posssible.
19% - Other
Representative of "other":
"I would hope we could talk it over and decide together what would be best for us both."

15% - Disagree

79% - Agree
12% - Disagree
9% - Other

48% - Work out a clear plan for how things will be handled in discussion with my extended family, so both my wishes and their needs are taken into account.

5% - Not worry about the details and let family members work it out after I'm gone.
7% - Other

RESNET Quality Assurance
A version of this article appears in the July/August 2005 issue of Home Energy Magazine.
July 01, 2005
According to a former NASA engineer, in the several years prior to the Challenger space shuttle accident, quality assurance—then known as quality control—at NASA had been cut by more than 50%.The effect of the lack of quality assurance at NASA was not apparent for years.Although no one's life, per se, depends on the quality and consistency of HERS ratings in the United States, a lack of rater oversight, over time, will undermine people's confidence in the home energy rating process, and eventually in the home energy rating industry.The rating industry has a lot at stake in ensuring the integrity of its raters and their ratings. The recent Residential Energy Services Network (RESNET) standards amendments include provisions for quality assurance (QA) that are intended to make home energy ratings reliable and consistent across the country, and therefore more likely to hold and keep the public's confidence. The heart of the new standards is the establishment of a QA designee who will supervise raters and rating providers. The designee is responsible for maintaining QA records, reviewing the work ...

A rare request for Supreme Court fees
In a highly unusual plea in the Supreme Court, the two trade groups for the video game industry asked the Justices on Monday to require the state of California to reimburse industry lawyers for $1,144,602.24 (a figure that may later be increased) for legal fees and expenses — the professional costs of winning a major First Amendment victory in the Court.
Among the items of expenses listed was a figure of $23,979 that the industry paid to three well-known advocates to conduct a "moot court." The text of the fee motion is here.
Ordinarily, the custom in American law is for each side to pay its own legal fees in a lawsuit. However, federal laws, including a civil rights law relied upon in this new motion, sometimes allow a "prevailing party" to recover its fees from the losing side. The Supreme Court's own Rules do not specifically provide for such fee-shifting.
The standard manual on Supreme Court practice, popularly known as "Stern and Gressman," however, says explicitly that these federal fee-shifting laws "may encompass attorneys' fees incurred in connection with Supreme Court cases." The manual cites a 1970 precedent, Perkins v. Standard Oil, as directing a lower court — when the case was returned there — to consider a possible fee shift for the Supreme Court work.
Fee-shifting requests are very common in lower courts, especially in civil rights cases. One theory behind such awards is that attorneys should be encouraged to take on legal cases that might advance civil rights, when such cases may not produce a very large dollar verdict. Another theory is that the government, which normally enforces civil rights laws, has only limited legal resources and can use the aid of so-called "private attorneys general."
The new motion was prompted by the Court's 7-2 ruling at the end of last Term in Brown v. Entertainment Merchants Association, et al. (08-1448), striking down a California state law that banned the sale or rental of violent video games to minors. The fee request was on behalf of the Entertainment Merchants Association and the Entertainment Software Association, the winners.
It noted that the industry has already recovered its fees and expenses in lower federal courts — $276,000 plus interest in District Court and $94,000 in the Ninth Circuit Court.
The tone of the new motion is somewhat accusatory. "California," it said, " persisted in defending a law that [the industry] warned the Legislature was unconstitutional before it was passed; that was previously found to be unconstitutional by the district court and a unanimous panel of the Ninth Circuit and that is similar to at least eight other laws invalidated as unconstitutional prior to the time that California sought certiorari in this case. Despite all of this, California chose to seek further review in this Court, and this Court has now confirmed the act's unconstitutionality."
The motion spelled out the basis for the claim, at this point for a total of $1,144,602.64, but noted that the motion was "subject to a supplemental filing containing the not-yet-billed 2011 fees and expenses, almost all of which are associated with the fees and expenses incurred in preparing this motion."
The request includes $53,472.50 in attorneys' fees for 2009 and $1,028,152.88 in such fees for 2010, for attorneys and staff at the Jenner & Block law firm. It seeks $23,979 for the amount it paid to former U.S. Solicitors General Paul D. Clement and Theodore B. Olson and First Amendment specialist Lee Levine to conduct a "moot" court to prepare the legal team for the Supreme Court argument. "The fees charged by these firms were based on the standard billing rates they customarily charge clients and encompassed only the handful of hours required to review the briefs and participate in the moot court. As such, these fees are entirely reasonable."
In discussing the fee charges for Jenner & Block attorneys, the motion is based on the standard market rates they charge — the so-called "lodestar" amount — with no add-ons, even for the firm's expertise in the First Amendment area of the law.
The motion seeks $38,998.26 to reimburse for actual out-of-pocket expenses.
The motion cites no Supreme Court ruling directly ordering a fee shift in a case before the Justices. The Supreme Court cases referred to in the filing are about fee-shifting in general, and when it is justified.
Presumably, the Supreme Court has the authority to order a fee shift, or to pass the motion down to the Ninth Circuit Court or the District Court to consider. It is unknown whether the fact that the Supreme Court agreed to hear the state's appeal — something it had the discretion not to do — would play a part in its consideration of the motion.
Because the Supreme Court seldom is asked to shift fees in cases before it, the Justices may be a bit surprised at how high those fees can go when well-compensated, experienced lawyers are involved, and bring with them a sizable team of associates. Lower courts, of course, routinely are faced with often pricey fee requests.

Tandridge District Council's way of allocating council and partner housing association properties for rent.
We aim to give you more choice in deciding where you want to live. Properties that are available for rent will be advertised each week. The first day of advertising will be on a Friday, the last day will be on a Wednesday.
You will not be able to bid or view properties on a Thursday.
You must then tell us which properties you are interested in. This process is known as bidding. You may only bid for a property if your application has been accepted onto our housing register. Your 'bid' must be registered by midnight on a Wednesday. You will be able to bid for up to three properties each week.
Our website is packed with useful information to help you find a suitable home. You can use this website to:
If you have been unable to log in please contact us as soon as possible. There may be an error with your registration number or your application may have been suspended due to lack of current information.
As you may already know we are also working in partnership with three other authorities – Epsom & Ewell, Mole Valley and Reigate & Banstead – on East Surrey HomeChoice.
The aim of East Surrey HomeChoice is to help housing register and transfer applicants apply for social rented homes in any of the four East Surrey areas.
Up to ten percent of all social rented homes that become available each year will be advertised as East Surrey HomeChoice properties and be available for moves across the council boundaries.
This scheme works in much the same way as Tandridge HomeChoice. Available properties are advertised weekly and eligible applicants will be able to bid for these homes. You will see these properties listed as 'Sub-regional CBL' when you search for properties on the Tandridge HomeChoice website or in newsletters.

- SCGI can be used with Apache like this. It builds on stuff from the Apache+FCGI documentation above.
The material at simon.bofh.ms has been hard to get - server sometimes responds, sometimes not IME. In any event, #3047 has patches, and seems to be on track to become the official way to do SCGI with Django.
Apache with mod_wsgi
- See the mod_wsgi official docs.
- See this page for a step by step procedure to configure it on windows.
lighttpd with Apache
- See this page.
lighttpd with FastCGI
- See the official documentation.
- Django/lighttpd/FastCGI instructions for use on TextDrive shared hosting accounts are also available.
lighttpd with SCGI
- See #172.
- See Django on nginx and Start Django with nginx.
I've been serving up my django site via nginx for a short while now and wanted to report my setup so that others may give it a shot. My performance over the previous setup with lighttpd is a bit better. This setup uses much less cpu and memory to achieve much better throughput and response time. The simple syntax of the nginx.conf allows you to setup a cluster of backend processes quite easily to handle load. Currently this is my nginx.conf relevant to my django site. You can reference the above links for more information about additional options.
upstream djangoserv { server 127.0.0.1:8801; } server { listen 80; root /path/to/app; server_name test.local.domain; access_log /path/to/logs/appname-access.log main; error_log /path/to/logs/appname-error.log; location /styles { root /path/to/styles; } location /javascripts { root /path/to/javascripts; } location ~* ^.+\.(jpg|jpeg|gif|png|ico|css|zip|tgz|gz|rar|bz2|doc|xls|exe|pdf|ppt|txt|tar|mid|midi|wav|bmp|rtf|js|mov) { access_log off; expires 30d; } location / { # host and port to fastcgi server fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:8801; fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_script_name; fastcgi_param REQUEST_METHOD $request_method; fastcgi_param QUERY_STRING $query_string; fastcgi_param SERVER_NAME $server_name; fastcgi_param SERVER_PORT $server_port; fastcgi_param SERVER_PROTOCOL $server_protocol; fastcgi_param CONTENT_TYPE $content_type; fastcgi_param CONTENT_LENGTH $content_length; fastcgi_pass_header Authorization; fastcgi_intercept_errors off; } }
Once you fire up nginx you will need to start your nginx fastcgi processes. I simply use:
python2.4 manage.py runfcgi method=threaded host=127.0.0.1 port=8801
Django behind/inside Zope
It's possible to query a Django site from Zope or Plone and return the result. This allows you to include a Django site inside a pre-existing Zope/Plone site. It's good for custom content that you don't want to use existing Zope technologies to develop. For the code, see this partly documented file. It's in a temporary location for the time being; for more info, e-mail jeff (at) bitprophet (dot) org.
Running Django as a traditional CGI is possible and would work the same as running any other sort of Python CGI script, but is generally not recommended.
With traditional CGI, the program which will be run -- in this case, Django plus a Django-powered application -- is loaded from disk into memory each time a request is served, which results in a significant amount of processing overhead and much slower responses. FastCGI and SCGI, in contrast, load the code only once -- when the server starts up -- and keep it in memory as long as the server is running, resulting in much faster responses.
If that hasn't put you off and you still need CGI, take a look at #2407.
CherryPy and WSGI
- See Run your Django app with the CherryPy server - DjangoCerise. Version 1.2 now supports SSL. Rock solid behind a proxy like NGINX.
- CherryPy server as a management command and serving it behind Cherokee
Devserver - Django built-in development server
- Once again, this isn't for production use, but the official documentation may help. Ticket #4996 has a patch to daemonize which may be useful

Change in an Instant!
Collectively, historical events have their impact as well. We all have those, "Where were you?" moments such as JFK's assassination, the Apollo Moon Landing, the Challenger Explosion, the Oklahoma Bombing, and of course…….the tragedy of September 11th, a date that needs no year to identify it because it was that terrible, that horrible, that defining in the psyche of each and every American who experienced it.
Last night was another one of those defining moments in our collective history. While it can be argued the death of Osama bin Laden is actually the closing act to the tragedy of September 11th it is yet another of those events which define our lives.
September 11th changed our lives in so many ways all in an instant just as last night changed it as well. Some of the changes are short term such as the elation, the relief, and the renewed anger as we remember what his policies and philosophy led others to do in the name of religion….of all things. Other changes will be long term. It would be interesting to be a fly on the wall fifty or even one hundred years from now to see how September 11th and the death of bin Laden is treated in history classrooms.
Will the whole series of events be taught in a entire instructional unit lasting several days? Then again, it might just become a mere mention before launching into an even more important event….though now we can't even fathom that. The worse thing that could happen is if future historians and educators decide the whole thing was much ado about nothing.
I doubt that will happen since these events did occur during the age of technology and instant news, and not just news of the collective kind but personal news. We all have Facebook pages, blogs, pictures on line, the ability to interact with newspapers and other columns leaving our comments to express our thoughts and feelings.
Yes, within the last decade our lives have been changed in an instant. Last night's news made of all of us recall those events of September 11th – where we were, what we were doing and how we came to be where we were last night.
Over the last few years I've re-posted my September 11th story because it's that important personally for me to remember. I'm re-posting it again below, and I ask you to remember and reflect how you came to where you were at when you heard the news last night……
However, this time I will use the young's man real first name because he finally got the chance to read my recollection of that tragic day not too long ago, and gave me permission to use it.
September 11, 2001 began like any other September school day; however, it was abnormally quiet since Tyler's seat was uncharacteristically empty. He had not missed a day of school since we had started around the first of August.
Tyler was my assigned rambunctious, outspoken, almost uncontrollable young man for the year. There is always at least one. He was a handsome ten year old who adored baseball, adored going to church, and was very in touch with his feelings. While his brain usually moved ahead of his feet by about ten steps he never intentionally meant to interrupt me for the five thousandth time in one class period, never meant to cause me frustration, and he never meant to get on my nerves. Tyler simply had no clue that a one-to-one ongoing conversation between a teacher and himself was not the proper procedure in a classroom with 24 other students.
He blurted out constantly attempting to finish my sentences, anticipate my questions, and interrupted his classmates every time the notion slapped him in the head. He also had a problem many young men do…..he couldn't sit still. His parents had long since solved the energy problem by making sure Tyler was signed up for every sport that came along. Unfortunately we don't run bases in my classroom.
After the second week of getting used to Tyler's energy level he and I conferenced and we worked out a management plan for mysanity. He and I developed hand signals so that he would know when I had had my limit of interruptions. He honestly didn't realize what he was doing. Sometimes kids have to be taught social limits regarding space and conversation limits. We worked out a plan where Tyler could stand at his seat every so often to ease any discomfort as he sat. I arranged for his seat to be towards the back of the group so he wouldn't interfere with another student. Tyler seemed grateful for the strategies as he commented, "Gee, maybe this will work. Lord knows you were ready to strangle me yesterday."
Tyler was right. So on that September morning his seat screamed at me in the quiet as the class proceeded through their morning work.
We were about to transition into Social Studies when Tyler suddenly burst through the door out of breath speaking as fast and as loud as he possibly could. "Oh my gosh, Mrs. Cooper, a plane crashed in New York City and the whole place is on fire."
It was very confusing to say the least. I mean where had he suddenly come from? The classroom had gone from very orderly and quiet to some town crier bursting through the door screaming New York City was on fire. My mind was attempting to process all of this. Where had Tyler been? Why was he just now coming to me? What had he been doing? What is this about a plane?
I grabbed Tyler by the shoulders. "Darlin', what are you talking about?"
Tyler was still trying to speak between deep breaths. "I don't…..know. The man…..said a plane……had crashed…….in New York."
"What man?" I quizzed.
"The man…..on the radio," Tyler gulped.
The room was totally disrupted by now with students watching my question and answer session with Tyler their heads bobbing back and forth like they were watching a tennis match.
"Back up, Tyler," I lobbed, "Where have you been?"
Tyler fired back, "The dentist. By the way, Dr. C. says hello." Dr. C. is a local dentist and I had taught his son a couple of years before. He was always sending my students back to school with a "Hey, how ya' doing?" message.
I countered impatiently with, "Yes, yes, hey to Dr. C." I waved my hand to the air. "Tyler, tell me what's going on?"
I was getting exasperated. The rhythm of my class had been disrupted, precious instructional minutes were being lost, and I still didn't know what was going on.
Finally, Tyler served up, "On the way over here from Dr. C's office the guy on the radio said the World Tower or something has been hit by a plane."
"The World Trade Center, is that what you mean?" I struck back.
"Yeah, I think so."
I walked over to the television, hit the on button and switched the channel to CNN……the only twenty-four hour news channel our school could get at the time. The image hit me like a ton of bricks.
"Oh my gosh, Tyler. You're right." I said as I backed up from the screen. The room got very still and we listened to the announcer. It was still early enough that both towers were still standing. The announcer was still getting information in his earpiece so he could explain what was going on.
I offhandedly began telling students that many years before a small plane had hit the Empire State Building and the same thing had probably happened again. I told them that, but I wasn't so sure.
I stepped into the hallway and got the attention of my teaching partner. I lovely woman who was still trying to figure this Southern gal out considering she grew up in New York. Her eyes immediately filled up with tears as she pulled her door behind her and mouthed the words, "Those bastards!" to me.
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"I guarantee you this is the same group who tried to take the towers down before." We exchanged a few more words before she stepped back in her room to turn on her television as Tyler came to my classroom door.
"Mrs. Cooper," he said. "The tower just fell."
"Don't be silly," I told him as I reentered my room. A few of the girls had heard me and were agreeing with Tyler.
I looked at the screen and there was nothing there but one tower and smoke. It simply did not register with me the building were gone. The announcer was speaking about planes, large planes had done this. My mind screamed. Jetliners, how could two jetliners hit the towers on the same day?
Another student asked, "Mrs. Cooper, what's the pentagram?"
A bossy little girl shot back at him, "Pentagon, pentagon."
I didn't take my eyes from the television as I said, "Ummm, it's a building in Washington D.C. where all the branches of the armed forces have their offices including the Secretary of Defense. Why?"
"The guy on television said a plane crashed into it. It's on fire too."
I closed my eyes. I could not deny something was going on. We had to be under attack, but from who? I wanted to curl up into a ball and cry. I wanted to get my purse and go get my kids. I wanted my husband. I wanted my mother and father. I couldn't. I was the teacher. I was the adult in charge. I couldn't let them see me upset. I had to turn off the television and get on with our day.
I walked over to the set at the same time my vice principal came into my room. She smiled and motioned to the television and said, "Turn it off."
"I know," I said. "I was about to." We both knew this wasn't the same thing as our first walk on the Moon or MLK's funeral. Our students didn't need to see anymore unfolding events. Luckily they didn't see any bodies falling from the sky and they had not yet begun to show footage of the plane flying into the tower and the resulting explosion. It was bad enough they witnessed the fall of the building.
Some of the children, being children, went right back to what they were doing. Tyler walked over to me and said, "Mrs. Cooper, we need to pray for those people. There are people who died this morning. It's so sad."
"Yes, Tyler. It's so sad. Tyler, you know I can't ask you to pray."
"I know, but I don't think you'll stop me. Will you?"
"No, I won't. Do what you need to do."
Tyler walked around the room to every student saying, "C'mon guys. We need to pray for those people. Let's hold hands and get in a circle."
Every boy and girl stood up, formed a circle and grabbed each other's hands. No one argued about holding a girls hand or a boy's hand. Boys didn't balk at holding each other's hands. They just did it. Once they were all were in place each one turned and looked my way as if to say, "C'mon!" I was sitting alone at a student's desk confused and needing information so terribly. At this point all I knew was someone had an undetermined number of American planes, some were missing, some had crashed horribly, and my husband who works in the air freight industry had his office very near the Atlanta airport.
As the kids looked at me two students broke ranks and opened up a place for me. They just stood there looking at me. I just sat there looking at them. Finally, I got up and joined them in their prayer circle. I looked across the circle to Tyler and nodded at him. He began his very heartfelt, innocent prayer for the people in the buildings, the people in the planes, the people on the ground, our president and other government leaders and as he ended each child went around the circle and said something squeezing the next person's hand as they were through. Finally, the prayers ended up at Tyler again and he finalized the prayer.
I don't remember what we did that day. I don't remember what I taught, or if I taught. An hour later the exodus started. Child after child was called for check-out until I only had three or four left.
Finally, the last student was on a bus and I was on my way home. Hubby had contacted me earlier in the afternoon to tell me he was ok and had gone to get both our kids. They were all at home waiting for me.
The ride home was so eerie. The message boards over the normally backed-up Atlanta interstates flashed the words NATIONAL EMERGENCY. The most surreal thing was there was no traffic on the streets or in the sky. The skies around Atlanta's busy airport are always filled with planes. You can always look up and find at least one in any direction you gaze. Not that afternoon. It was so quiet. It was four p.m. before I really knew what had happened and saw the same footage that everyone else had seen over and over all afternoon.
I learned many things that day. I learned that my country was as vulnerable as any other. I learned that your life can change direction in one single instant. I learned that citizens can put politics aside and come together in one voice when they realize they have a common enemy. I learned the frantic fear of wondering where your family is and realized we would need an emergency game plan. I learned that people hate me just because I was born an American.
The most important thing I learned, however, was from a ten year old young man and his fellow classmates who did what they felt in their hearts and lived up to their convictions no matter the consequence.

That's a moving and powerful 9/11 post - thanks for re-sharing it.

Great Post! Brings back some memories of that Sept. day. Out here on the west coast, this was news we recd. with breakfast. Upon arrival to school, we were told, verbally and in a written memo, that we were NOT to turn on the TV or radios or discuss anything that "happened" this morning. Those of us in the history department were shocked that such a teaching opportunity was denied our students.
Hope the twisters spared you and your loved ones.

I'm so excited to have found this blog, because I love teaching history to my third graders. It was so surprising when I heard my students discussing this event, because many of them were not even born on 9/11.

- Keep lifebloom on a tank.
Pop ToL if I want to roll lifebloom on two tanks. Refresh it with nourish or, if necessary, HT. I'm pretty comfortable with rolling two lifeblooms, though sometimes fumble them from range or spell pushback.
- Rejuv and swiftmend on raid damage
....trying to place the green puddles appropriately for maximum healing effect. Nourish, lifeblooms, and NS+HT if necessary and the tank doesn't need it more. Pop ToL if I need to spam lifebloom across the entire raid.
- OoC procs for regrowth or HT.
As the most expensive heals, why not make them free?
- Tranquility!
...if the raid is spiraling the drain, and WG if it's less dire.
Chimaeron took my healing methods and said, "Okay, let's see how much I can screw with you. RAID HEALING, GO!"
I panicked. An entire raid constantly near death is a healer's nightmare to begin with, but the concept of just keeping everyone afloat above 10k health is a manageable one after you spend some time seeing everyone constantly drop to 1 hp and not die, due to Finkle's Mixture. You adapt; you say, "okay, as long as I keep you above 10k hp, you'll all live." I added a little Grid debuff warning for the Low Health debuff.
But I still was panicked.
This was not the standard healer panic of seeing lots of low health bars... no, this was the panic of facing a fight I didn't think I could, in current druid mechanics, handle. The raid damage was too high, and my HoTs weren't ticking fast enough to top people past 10k before the next health-dropping ability splatted them to the stone floor. And in my attempts to make it work, I was going OoM by 90% boss health.
I was upset. I was frustrated. And then my raid leader chucked me in a vent channel with the other healers and said "make it work."
Silence. My frustration boiling over, I waited for the others to speak first. Was this boss even possible for us right now? I wasn't sure. I didn't know if the others could handle the raid healing, and I knew that I alone couldn't handle the tanks.
You know what?
We made it work.
Props to Togopan (holy priest) and Draukadin (holy pally): I was the third wheel in that fight.
We grouped all of the ranged DPS in one party with the holy priest, who was chain-spamming Prayer of Healing in all its party-only glory (edit: yes, it can be cast on other parties, but we had him focus on only one party). He set up a lightwell in melee range. We put the other two healers (me, holy pally) with the melee (one cat) and the tanks in the other group: two healers dedicated to this group. And while Draukadin used Beacon and Protector of the Innocent and Flash of Light and Holy Radiance and all those wonderful paladin spells, and while the two tanks taunted the boss back and forth during the double-strike to keep from being sliced in half by Chimaeron's claws, I built a healing rotation and stuck to it.
A healing rotation.
Healing Rotation: Backstory
To truly appreciate my situation, you have to understand something about healing rotations. I was once told, back in Wrath, that I was a horrible player because I didn't use a healing rotation. This was coming from a sub-50 alt whose main was a caster DPS class, of course: a player whose entire world is focused on damaging a mob, not healing someone. Not triage. The concept of not using a casting rotation was a foreign, evil, wrong, bad, ludicrous idea to him. Of course, him saying I was bad because I didn't use a healing rotation to triage my raids became a huge running joke in my guild. Me with my Bane of the Fallen King title, world-2nd 10-strict guild to get it, was bad because I don't use healing rotations.
Healing rotations don't work, generally speaking. Healing is a more fluid creature, reactive to the health pools, aggro, gear, and decisions of the raiders around you as the combat situation shifts, new creatures coming in, walls of fire charring people, aggro being stolen or swapped, debuffs being gained, and so on. Healing is a triage situation: who is taking the most damage, and is more important to the overall survival of the raid? What spell is best for the situation: how fast are they dieing, is the mana use worth the cost or is it sustainable, will it leave me unable to save someone more important later? Rotations were not for such dynamic situations. Rotations were for healers who weren't capable of quick thinking, healers who couldn't do their jobs.
So, healing rotations were a joke. Something we laughed at.
The irony of the situation struck me hard last night, as I started testing how many lifeblooms I could roll and what I could fit into the refresh cycle during a break in the raid.
The Rotation
With party 1 covered by the priest, the paladin self-sufficient with his own heals and the tanks half-covered by the paladin as well, that left me 2 people I absolutely had to keep up, and then whatever else I could throw at the tanks. Okay, I know I can roll 2 lifeblooms: why not a third, if that's all I'm doing?
Shortly after the pull, I popped Tree of Life and got my lifeblooms rolling: four to start, with a focus on keeping three main ones up. If the fourth dropped, I didn't sweat it. I told the paladin which of the tanks I was keeping a constant lifebloom on, and that's all that really mattered. Lifeblooms on me, tank1, and melee cat. These are the three I would try to keep up come hell or high water. While ToL was still active, I popped lifeblooms on tank2 and anyone else I could reach, and started my nourish rotation. I went straight down the last three players of my grid frames because our alphabetical arrangement made it pretty easy.
- Nourish self.
- Nourish tank1.
- Nourish melee cat.
- Cast something shorter than nourish/HT: regrowth, or instant casts. WG, or lifebloom on tank 2, or regrowth on a tank, or on someone who had lingered with Low Health for too long. I could, if I was tight in my GCDs, cast two insta-casts (rejuv + swiftmend, or two LBs) before needing to refresh the cycle, but this was risky.
- Rinse, repeat.
On the plus side, I had absolutely no mana issues: nourish and lifebloom are our cheapest heals. It was only when I fumbled the stacks and lost one (or all) and I had to use the more expensive heals instead until ToL came off of cooldown and I could restart my lifebloom stacks that I then had any sort of mana problems. In future attempts, I will be looking to cast my innervate on the poor OoM holy pally instead.
Beyond my Heals
Due to the cast-heavy and time-strict nature of balancing 3-4 lifebloom stacks, it was beneficial that I was chosen to be the stack target for Fued. They stuck a big orange circle on my head and I stood near melee with the lightwell and it wasn't until about 20% boss health that I moved even an inch from that spot. Everyone would periodically move over and hang out and give me hugs while spamming their own survival/healing cooldowns (feral's tranquility, moonkin's tranquility, etc etc) and I kept chugging along with my healing rotation. They'd flee as the bot came back online and massacre was cast and poisons would start flinging around, and I was still standing there, trucking along through my rotation.
And then at 22% or so: I pop ToL again. I spam lifeblooms across the whole raid afresh, and tranquility, and get everyone as high as I possibly can because come the 20% mark, there's no more healing.
I look up. I see the boss before me, the Mortality debuff bright near my minimap, and I gulp. "Well, here goes," I say to myself, and start DPSing. I smile to myself that I have no DPS rotation. I spam wrath, and try to keep moonfire and insect swarm on the boss, while everyone in ventrilo is going wild with trying to survive as long as they can and DPS, and when it's finally my turn, I'm bearform and using frenzied regen and barkskin in vain hope of surviving more than a couple seconds, strafing away to keep my furry tail from his claws, even as I'm tugged across the room by a priest's lifegrip and Chimaeron swipes out and double-strikes my face.
An interesting fight. One that challenged me, as a healer, in brand new ways. While I would hate having a "healing rotation" as strict as that become the norm, it was a challenge that I enjoyed, simply for its deviance from the norm. I know better, now, my limits on how many lifeblooms I can roll at my current haste level.
See you next week, Chimaeron. I won't be panicking this time.


text: I have a 2001 Pro Mobius with a 5.7L Carb motor. The engine was damaged last year during the winter, and i have since bought a new motor and installed it. I need to know the proper way to set the initial timing on the motor. I know that there is a loop-back adapter and im not sure if its suposed be plugged in to set the timing or removed. Right now i set the initial timing to 10deg adv.. with the loop-back plugged in. But i noticed that there is no advance when i reve the motor up to 3000rpm. After i set the timing should i remove the adapter? Also what is good TOTAL timing setting to look for (does 30-32deg adv. sound about right) Please advise...Thanks

one of the most important products of Israel
The first mention of it is in the history of Noah (Genesis 9:20). It is afterwards frequently noticed both in the Old and New Testaments, and in the ruins of terraced vineyards there are evidences that it was extensively cultivated by the Jews. It was cultivated in the Promised Land before the Israelites took possession of it. The men sent out by Moses brought with them from the Valley of Eshcol a cluster of grapes so large that "they bare it between two upon a staff" (Numbers 13:23). The vineyards of En-gedi (Song of Songs 1:14), Heshbon, Sibmah, Jazer, Elealeh (Isaiah 16:8-10; Jeremiah 48:32, 34), and Helbon (Ezek. 27:18), as well as of Eshcol, were celebrated.
The Church is compared to a vine (Psalm 80:8), and Christ says of himself, "I am the vine" (John 15:1). In one of his parables also (Matthew 21:33) our Lord compares his Church to a vineyard which "a certain householder planted, and hedged round about," etc.
Hos. 10:1 is rendered in the Revised King James Version, "Israel is a luxuriant vine, which putteth forth his fruit," instead of "Israel is an empty vine, he bringeth forth fruit unto himself," of the King James Version.
