Besties with Beysus?
You think Mrs Timberlake wallpapered one side of her apartment with this photo? And the PEOPLE Magazine cover of her husband jumping on her head on the other?
As you know, Justin Timberlake collaborated with Jay-Z on his upcoming album The 20/20 Experience. The two will also be touring together this summer. At the Grammy Awards last month, the Timberlakes sat next to the Carters. And it must have been the second happiest day of his wife's life. This is why she stayed, non? This is why she persisted through the phases (even though it would still never be enough to land the roles she wanted) -- from Justin Timberlake's girlfriend to Justin Timberlake's betrayed ex-girlfriend, and to the payoff of becoming Justin Timberlake's fiancée, then spouse ...
It was for moments like these, sitting next to Beyonce front row at an awards show with the promise of more: Acceptance into the inner circle, of course.
Will Beyonce be my friend?
Will I make it onto Beyonce's Tumblr?
I love how that's a career goal now, getting on to B's Tumblr. And she's getting closer.
Beyonce's sister Solange performed earlier this week at the Museum of Modern Art's annual Armory Show in New York. Page Six reports that:
Jay-Z and Beyoncé arrived at (the) opening bash at the museum as Bey's sister Solange Knowles began a five-song set for 500 guests, including Jessica Biel and Alexa Chung.
No mention of JT.
Which means she's now progressed to being admitted into the Beysus circle without her husband's accompaniment. It's a major milestone for Mrs Timberlake. And she's being wisely cautious about the opportunity, carefully avoiding photographs so that she can prove to her new friend that she can be trusted, not wanting to jeopardise her new status with invited pap shots until her position is more secure.
For now then, she'll satisfy herself with knowing that we know that she's hanging out with B and J. Yes Mrs Timberlake. We know.

Roasted lamb with lemon, rosemary and garlic, and minted potato and spring pea salad
This is gorgeous with a few aromatics – the garlic, rosemary and lemon slices infuse the meat with a lovely summery flavour. Peas and potatoes are classic side dishes, so why not combine them into a light salad?
|2 Tbsp
|Olive oil, or 3
|Leg of lamb, (approximately 1.2kg)
|1 to taste
|Sea salt
|Garlic cloves, sliced
|3 sprigs
|Fresh rosemary, or 4
|2 cups
|Lemon, finely sliced
|1 cup
|Peas, freshly shelled, or frozen
|500 g
|New potatoes, scrubbed and halved if larger
|1 handful
|Fresh peas, in the pod
|40 g
|Butter, softened
|½ tsp
|Sea salt
|1 Tbsp
|Mint jelly
|3 sprigs
|Fresh mint, or 4
|1 to taste
|Cracked black pepper
- Preheat the oven to 170C.
- Arrange the lamb leg in a lined roasting dish and brush all over with the olive oil and sea salt.
- Cut small slits into the lamb meat and stud with the sliced garlic and a few small sprigs of rosemary.
- Lay the lemon slices over the lamb and secure with toothpicks.
- Add the water to the pan and roast the lamb for 1 hour, basting about every 20 minutes with the pan juices until the meat is golden and the juices run pink when pierced in the thickest part.
- Cover loosely with foil and allow to rest for 15 minutes.
- For the potato salad: simmer the potatoes in boiling, salted water for about 15-20 minutes or until just tender.
- Add all the peas and the pods and cook for 2 minutes until bright green.
- Drain and toss gently with the butter, salt and mint jelly. Spoon into a serving bowl and garnish with the mint sprigs and cracked pepper.

Asparagus Syndrome
"This name belongs to me and I demand it be recognized with an apostrophe and an S"
"Sufferers from Asparagus Syndrome are to avoided at meal times. Those with extreme Broccoli Dementia can sit with POTUS"
Asparagus Syndrome is a poorly understood mental disorder. Sufferers have an inordinate fascination with Asparagus. They eat Asparagus at every meal, usually have at least one Asparagus stalk attached to their clothing at all time, and are difficult to engage in conversation concerning any subject except for Asparagus.
The horrific consequences of Asparagus Syndrome include: not making small talk because big talk works better, tendency to think for yourself against the herd in order to protect themselves and their supply of Asparagus, eyes that dart all over the place, and high intelligence in spite of all that. Statistically it affects an undue number of radio talk show hosts and Hollywood actors, though it has yet to be determined whether the behaviour guides ultimate vocation, or whether the condition results from prolonged exposure to ego-stroking or literal interpretation and structure. Some theorists believe that Bugs Bunny has Asparagus Syndrome due to his persistent tendency to forget to turn left at Albequerque, and spitting carrots out after a scene was finished.
Early signs of the disease emerge in childhood, and match the adult symptoms.
Other side effects of the disorder include high levels of rutin and folic acid, and difficulty holding down steady employment, as in our narrow-minded, bigoted society, people simply aren't willing to accept an adult ranting on about a vegetable every day of their life.
Another unfortunate tendency of sufferers of the disease is their tendency to ruthlessly harass anyone who says anything unfavourable about Asparagus, especially if they refuse to take it back. Over six recorded holy wars have been fought by these crazy people over the sacred vegetable being disrespected.
Sufferers were characterised by high intellect but poor urine smell, with the perception of others as invaders into their structured and black and white world. It was thought that someone with Asparagus Syndrome would in fact be the saviour of relations between blacks and greens, but this turned out to be nothing more than a sufferer taking the term "black and green" literally.
Connection to international terrorism[edit]
Trade in Asparagus is tightly controlled due to the extreme danger of these Asparagus fundamentalists. This has led to the development of an international Asparagus smuggling network to defeat the controls. When law enforcement tightens up, often these fanatics turn to terrorism to pursue their Asparagus-related mission, which they regard as their sole purpose in life.
The worst attack of this nature occurred on April 1, 2003, when an entire major city (the government has not disclosed which one for security and political purposes) had all the Asparagus in its supermarkets secretly replaced with a rare weaponized variety of Asparagus from northern Europe which has been linked to an increased risk of cystic fibrosis. As of yet, the doers of this dastardly deed of Asparagus-derring-do have yet to be identified, mainly because President Bush is even worse at pronouncing the word "Asparagus" than he is at pronouncing the word "Nuclear." For this reason, the United States' 'War on Asparagus' has largely fallen by the wayside, in the wake of more politically popular and easier to pronounce initiatives, such as the 'War on Homos' and the 'War on the Non-Mega-Rich.'
There is no known cure for the disorder, although some anecdotal progress has been noted in some instances where the sufferers were exposed to a wider range of vegetables like broccoli and marrows.
- Causes: Still unknown. Believed to be genetic in origin, backing the theories of many that the story of bad parents must be true. Experts suggests the shape of the asparagus can bring on penile servitude to anyone in charge of grocery supplies. Seeing the word 'organic' has the same effect.
- Treatment: For children it is possible to show them the right way to walk and to remember to turn left at Albequerque. Sadly however, there is no proper cure especially in late diagnosed adults, but some are able to lead an almost normal life by hiring a good public relations firm and an expensive team of lawyers. Not to mention a lifelong supply of Asparagus.
- Long Term Care: All governments fear that future generations will feel the social effect of the 'Asparagus Spike'. Short term measures include issuing free shovels to anyone who finds they are forced to share space with sufferers.

Farmers Market Finds
I'm a little embarrassed to admit that it took a month of living in my new apartment to do the minimal research required to scope out the nearby farmers markets. I really have no excuse, but in my defense, many markets in the Boston area don't really get going until late June or July anyway. A few days ago, though, I was determined to figure out where I could buy some fresh and local produce, and have thus far scoped out two farmers markets in Boston.
The first is located near City Hall, and is open on Mondays and Wednesdays. The second is in Copley Square, and runs Tuesdays and Fridays. The City Hall market was a bit of a disappointment; there were only three or so vegetable stands. They had some nice produce, though, and I came away with a haul of two "eight ball" squash (like round zucchini), a handful of garlic scapes, and some fresh peas that taste so good raw I'm not sure I would ever dare to cook them.
The Copley Square market was a bit more lively, with several more vegetable vendors in addition to a variety of bakery and specialty stands selling things like homemade soaps and dried lavender flowers. Not being one for stinky body products, though, I stuck primarily with the vegetables, and this time came away with a giant head of Chinese cabbage, a verdant bouquet of scallions, a lovely, flower-laden salad greens mix, and some precious baby carrots whose colors range from pale buttercream to deep garnet.
I also picked up a pint of local strawberries, which are much more supple and tender than anything you can buy in the supermarket. The find of the day, however, was half a dozen farm-fresh eggs, which I surely would have overlooked had a vendor not fortuitously grabbed some from the unmarked refrigerator behind the rest of her vegetable wares while I was standing close by.
The eggs were multi-colored - there was even a green one in the mix - and of slightly varying sizes, and looked so adorable and mismatched in their little carton. I walked briskly back to the apartment after my little field trip, where Jonathan enjoyed a rather refined lunch of poached eggs. His were served on toast, mine on top of the previously mentioned salad greens, carrots, and peas.
There is something about fresh eggs that makes them better than store-bought, and I'm convinced it isn't just their novelty. They have a rich, smooth taste and texture, and are somehow brighter, both in color and on the palate, than other eggs. Jonathan finished off the lot this morning with his usual scrambled eggs with scallions, but I think they are best poached, cooked just until the white is set and the yolk is still runny and creamy yellow-orange. I'm definitely going back for more of them on Friday, and this time I think I'll buy a dozen.
There are still a few other markets that I have left to try, namely one in the South End (Sundays, 10am-5pm), that I hope will be worthwhile. Until then, enjoy (vicariously, I suppose) my farmers market finds!

You should look into the one in Belmont. You can get to by taking the Commuter rail out of North Station or take the Red Line to Harvard Square and hop on the 74/75 bus. When I was living in Cambridge, it was on Thursdays and Saturday.
Otherwise, like you, I found the Copley one to be the best.

Finding and exploring farmers markets are always so much fun! I certainly hope you get the most out of your markets in your area, especially for having such a short season.
Your finds so far look just wonderful! Your photographs make me want to visit a market tomorrow, even though I already visited one two days ago!
Happy farmers market finds to you!

When I used to chicken sit for the Hansons, H-dawg kept different breeds of hen in separate coops, and the shells of the eggs laid by each breed were different colors.
He also attributed the "goopiness" and dull color of store-bought eggs to prolonged refrigeration, and swore they tasted best eaten directly from the nest... not too sure about that part but they certainly were delicious! Glad you're having fun at the markets.

Beautiful photos!
And you're not just imagining the difference between really fresh eggs and supermarket eggs. Supermarket eggs are bland and watery because they've usually been held in a warehouse for three or four weeks before hitting the shelves.

Hall Of Fame QB Joe Montana Takes A Relaxed Route To The Super Bowl
By Barry Janoff
October 1, 2012: As an NFL quarterback for 15 seasons, Joe Montana was accustomed to working under pressure.
As a spokesman for Skechers USA, he is becoming more accustomed to being relaxed.
Montana will star in his second commercial for the footwear and lifestyle product company, this time touting Relaxed Fit shoes. As previously unveiled, the new multi-media global campaign will also star Mark Cuban, owner of the NBA's Dallas Mavericks, and baseball icon Tommy LaSorda.
The effort will lead to a Skechers spot to run on CBS during Super Bowl XLVII in February, the company's fourth consecutive trip to the Big Game. Montana was a part of Skechers' first Super Bowl campaign during Super Bowl XLV in 2010.
The Manhattan Beach, Calif.-based company said that its Relaxed Fit footwear line is being positioned as "a natural extension of relaxed fit jeans."
In addition to TV, the campaign will include print, POP, Internet and social media destinations such as Twitter, Facebook and YouTube.
"In the world of professional football, there's always a lot of madness, on and off the field," Montana said in a statement. "And when you're under pressure, the best solution is always to relax and keep your cool. That's what these Relaxed Fit shoes feel like. They're so comfortable, you can feel better in them no matter what the world throws at you."
Montana's 15 NFL seasons were highlighted by 13 years with the San Francisco 49ers, where he quarterbacked the team to wins in Super Bowls XVI, XIX, XXIII and XXIV (named MVP in all but XXIII). He retired after the 1993-94 season and was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2000.
Earlier this year, Montana's first stint with Skechers was part of several campaigns red-flagged by the Federal Trade Commission and the attorneys general of 44 states due to allegations of false advertising. Skechers agreed to pay $50 million regarding ads starring Montana, Kim Kardashian and Brooke Burke, which the FTC claimed were misleading when Skechers said that its toning shoes would help people lose weight, tone muscles and fight heart disease.
"Together with Mark Cuban and Tommy Lasorda, we're thrilled to have this 'triple threat' of sports icons telling the world about Relaxed Fit footwear."
Skechers denied any wrong doing and said it agreed to the settlement "[to avoid] the exorbitant cost and endless distraction of several years spent defending multiple lawsuits in multiple courts across the country."
For Skechers, the focus now is solely on Montana, Cuban, LaSorda and the Relaxed Fit line.
"Joe's an American legend representing a very American concept: relaxed casuals that look and feel good," Michael Greenberg, president of Skechers, said in a statement. "Together with Mark Cuban and Tommy Lasorda, we're thrilled to have this 'triple threat' of sports icons telling the world about Relaxed Fit footwear.
"Mark, Joe and Tommy are three sports legends promoting an idea that's inspired by the ingenuity of relaxed jeans: a product that doesn't just offer more comfort, but looks great as well."
After FTC Crisis, Skechers Going Global With Montana, Cuban, LaSorda, Quiggly

DENVER, April 11 (UPI) -- Wilson Chandler and Corey Brewer combined for 57 points Wednesday, rallying Denver from a slow start to a 96-86 victory over San Antonio.
The Nuggets won their fifth in a row and knocked the Spurs back into a tie with Oklahoma City for the best record in the Western Conference. The Spurs and Thunder both have four games to play.
Chandler had 29 points and nine rebounds while Brewer came off the bench to deliver his 28 points.
Denver shot just 44 percent from the field and scored only 11 points in the opening period, but improved its home record to 36-3. The three home losses are the fewest in the NBA.
Andre Iguodala managed a triple-double for the Nuggets, although he barely reached the minimum in each category. He scored 12 points, had 12 rebounds and dished out 10 assists.
Tim Duncan and Gary Neal both had 17 points for the Spurs.

The website is http://www.babyclothingcentral.co.uk - Colour scheme should preferrably fit in with our existing website colours, pink and blue, although if anyone is able to come up with a convincing design which is not pink and blue we'd love to hear it. The site's colour scheme can be tweeked if necessary.
We'd like to convey the message that we're a Baby Clothing superstore rather than a expensive boutique with small range and high prices. Although at the same time we don't want to appear cheap and nasty.
I'm keen to let designers use their imaginations and I promise we'll be leaving plenty of feed-back.

Watch: Kathy Griffin Explains the Difference Between 'Straight' Lies and 'Gay' Lies
Kathy Griffin shared a video on YouTube Saturday, explaining the difference between "straight" lies and "gay" lies.
In the clip's description, the comedian writes: "One of the non-political topics I talk about on my tour is the difference between straight lies and gay lies."
In the video itself, Griffin is seen sitting in an arm chair as she's delivering the joke.
"I have learned over all these years that there is a difference between heterosexual lies and gay lies," she says. "Sorry but I've lived it!"
Griffin goes on to say a "heterosexual" lie is "short and boring." She sets up a scenario in which a straight man is late for work.
"He says he got a flat tire. The truth is he overslept," she says. "A gay guy is late for work and it's gotta be fabulous. So instead, it's, 'Oh girl, I was up all night. I went to Rage...It's packed. Who walks in? Chris Hemsworth, in a thong, gets on the bar and starts dancing for 20 minutes and he's like winking at guys and is greased up."
Griffin goes on and on and on, later adding that when you "press a gay liar" they eventually turn it around and say, "You know what? I don't want to get into it with you."
Watch the clip below.

Speech Bobblehead
"Let your words be your weapon." -- Speech +10
Paradise Falls is a place you may or may not visit during your main adventure. It's all tied into the events at Little Lamplight. If those young residents refuse to let you in, then you'll need to free their enslaved friends at Little Lamplight before you can proceed. If, however, you're able to breach Little Lamplight without freeing their friends, then this becomes a side quest. Nonetheless, if and when you decide to visit Paradise Falls (which is a rather large settlement of slavers towards the northwest end of the Capital Wasteland to the west of the Germantown Police HQ), you'll be happy to know that the Speech Bobblehead is located there.
You can make friends with the slavers if you want, but chances are you're going to want to rid the world of their presence. This means that you'll have to clear the entire settlement, including the various buildings which contain people, for this place to become the ghost town it deserves to be. However, a man named Eulogy, who is the head of the slavers, resides in his own building near the back end of Paradise Falls. Enter the building and, if you're not friendly with him, kill him and his lady-friend. Then, search a table at the back right end of the large room on the first floor for the Bobblehead.

Amabrush - World's First Automatic Toothbrush
You never have to brush your teeth again!
Amabrush is the world's first, fully automatic toothbrush. This patent pending device brushes all your teeth at once, fully automatic, and finishes in just ten seconds. All you have to do is press a single button, wait ten seconds, and you'll have perfectly clean teeth!
Let's face it: brushing your teeth is not exactly the sexiest thing on Earth. You have to squeeze, scrub, gargle, spit, rinse and floss every morning and evening, every day of your life. Many of us hate brushing our teeth so much that we avoid doing so whenever possible—even though we know we shouldn't... Brushing our teeth at least twice a day maintains good dental health. This is why we invented Amabrush—a device three years in the making with a single goal: to make toothbrushing quicker, automatic, and more efficient so you have more time for the relevant things in your life.
Amabrush is not meant to be better than your regular toothbrush. Wait, what? That's true! Regular toothbrushes (manual and electric) are tools. And tools are only as good as the person using it! The key thing is that most of us use them wrong, or even worse, are not using them at all.
Brushing teeth is a job where you must be highly concentrated. Toothbrushes should be held like pencils, so that pressure is as light as possible. The bristles should be soft, in order to not damage your gums. And you should just wiggle the toothbrush with subtle vibrations, instead of doing long strokes. Electric toothbrushes are handled differently than manual ones. With them, you shouldn't stroke at all. These toothbrushes are designed to be held in place, so that the micro vibrations of the bristles can do their job (they wiggle for you).
Amabrush covers all of the recommended methods. The bristles are aligned in a 45° angle against the gum line, and are soft enough in order to rub instead of scratch (like nylon bristles). And the pressure against your teeth is light. Subtle vibrations move the bristles back-and-forth, which allows them to remove plaque and keep your gums undamaged.
Amabrush is for people like us - who just brush their teeth because they have to, and not because they want to.
Amabrush was designed to make toothbrushing less annoying. Some of us hate toothbrushing so much, that we brush not concentrated enough, not long enough, not good enough, or not at all. And some of us simply can not brush correctly at all, because they are not able to do so. It is still under development, and currently for people with healthy gum and teeth. This is our goal. Right toothbrushing for everyone and automatically!
Amabrush is made out of three parts:
- The Mouthpiece
- The Handpiece
- The Toothpaste Capsules
Antibacterial Material
The flexible mouthpiece has built-in micro-channels that transport the toothpaste to your teeth. The mouthpiece is made of antibacterial silicone that kills 99.99% of all bacteria and features 3D-arranged bristles on both sides to clean your teeth. It's soft enough to prevent gum damage but strong enough to clean your teeth precisely. It can be cleansed by normal rinsing, as you would do it with regular toothbrushes.
Brushing Technique
The bristles are directed in a 45° angle against your gingival cuff. This simulates the Bass method, which is recommended by dentists and experts. The bristles are comparable to soft-bristled toothbrushes. This ensures the most comfortable, safest toothbrushing and makes gum-damage impossible. We work closely with dentists and dental universities to address two concerns: clean teeth and no gum damage.
Single Size
We analyzed over 2,000 different jaws from adult females and males. The small difference between both genders is smoothed out by the flexible material of the mouthpiece. The used material has the characteristic to fit every jaw with no abnormal teeth displacements.
As with regular manual toothbrushes and electric toothbrush heads, the mouthpiece should be replaced every 3-6 months. Many studies prove that used bristles are not as effective in terms of plaque removal, as new ones. A single mouthpiece will cost €6.
The handpiece contains all of the complex technology. It creates strong vibrations with an amplitude of 9.5G to oscillate the bristles and clean your teeth. A clever algorithm ensures the generation of different vibrations. This results in a coordinated movement of the bristles, which are designed to have different resonant frequencies.
10 Seconds
Amabrush can brush your teeth in just 10 seconds, because all your teeth are cleaned simultaneously. Even in this 10 seconds, every tooth surface is cleaned longer compared with common toothbrushes. If you brush your teeth for the recommended 120 seconds with a regular toothbrush (manual or electric), every surface gets brushed for just 1.25 seconds (given the fact that you have 32 teeth and every teeth has three surfaces). Amabrush brushes all your surfaces for whole 10 seconds. This means: every tooth surface gets brushed 8x longer and the total toothbrushing duration is 12x quicker.
Pump, Battery & Charging
A built-in mechanism foams and delivers the right amount of toothpaste to your teeth, and the integrated battery lasts for 28 sessions of toothbrushing. So if you go on vacation without the charging station, you can brush your teeth for at least two weeks twice a day.
The handpiece also comprises a low-energy wireless charging module (Qi). So yes, you could even use your wireless smartphone charger to charge Amabrush.
A magnetic connection on the handpiece gives you the opportunity to use Amabrush with different people. Simply put the mouthpiece near the handpiece, and the strong magnet will automatically do the rest for you. We were told that "it really works like magic," and we think the same.
Notice: if you want to share Amabrush with different people, you just need a single handpiece! Everyone needs their own mouthpiece, but you don't have to get a separate handpiece for every person!
Replacement & Varieties
The toothpaste capsules are simply placed into the handpiece, automatically providing the perfect amount of toothpaste each time you brush your teeth. A single capsule lasts for more than a month, costs €3 and is available in three different, FDA-approved varieties: Extra Fresh (blue), Whitening (white) and Sensitive (rose - without fluoride). The toothpaste is specially formulated as it needs to be more liquid than regular ones.
The toothpaste is formulated and produced by a major toothpaste manufacturer with a history of over 100 years. This manufacturer fulfills the quality norm DIN EN ISO 13485 and the requirements of IFS Household and Personal Care Products, and was one of the first manufacturers in Europe retrieving the IFS-HPC certificate.
Video of using Amabrush prototype. Plaque was buildup on teeth by not brushing them for 30h. This is not meant as a proper clinical trial or plaque test, but as a demonstration of brushing teeth with Amabrush.
Further questions?
Please feel free to contact us any time via email or Facebook.
Please choose your package on the top right of this page.
USB-C instead of micro-USB! We got this request really often, and we too think that this is a great way to build Amabrush with top-notch technology right from the beginning. Many of you demanded such an upgrade, and your request is our command!
Furthermore, we will offer a lid with integrated UV light as an add-on. This protects the mouthpieces of Amabrush from dust and other environmental influences, and sanitizes the mouthpieces with UV light. This is able to store and sanitize two mouthpieces. This is an accessory for the mouthpiece-storage-attachment (that comes included in the pro version). It features a door with a hinge, a mirrored interior panelling in order to get the most out of the UV lamp, and is a great addition in order to keep Amabrush hygienic and clean. You can add the add-ons to your order after the campaign ends.
Choose between various different add-ons. The images above shown are for illustration purpose only! We'll offer a traveller case in order to store your Amabrush conveniently and hygienic when you are on vacation. Furthermore, our charging station will be modular. That means, if you use Amabrush on your own, you can simply detach the mouthpiece slots that are designed to store additional mouthpieces. All pro versions come with a charging station and two slots included. What's more, we will offer a tongue cleaner made out of the same antibacterial material, in order to keep your tongue smooth and clean. You can find additional details and choose these items after the Kickstarter campaign.
You requested this, we deliver it. All Amabrush units come equipped with a sound and light indicator, that is able to signal various different information about the current battery status, finished toothbrushing sessions, errors and other scenarios! Furthermore, we'll offer our specifically formulated toothpaste in big bottles, along with more durable and stable refillable toothpaste capsules. This will save shipping fees and total cost for you. Please have a look at our add-on section below the reward section for further details.
Your request is our command! We will integrate Bluetooth to all of our rewards at no additional cost. With our Amabrush App for iOS & Android, you are able to connect to your Amabrush unit and make use of various possibilities. You can set different vibration modes (gum massage, whitening, burst mode, ...), configure cleaning time, reorder replacement parts and do many things more!
We truly believe in Kickstarter as a platform, where like-minded entrepreneurs and early adopters bring together innovative, disruptive and sophisticated projects to life. We already supported a dozen projects from other people on Kickstarter on our own.
Amabrush is a completely new device and needs to be "understood" in the first place. Kickstarter connects us with people like us; fact-interested, early-adopting and technology-enthusiastic people.
Amabrush needs your help to fully come to life. Prototypes and pre-production units were financed by ourselves. But the time has come, that we currently face high upfront expenses regarding tooling, certification, studies and minimum quantity purchases.
We strongly believe that we've created a product that many people are craving for, ourselves included. Without your support, we can not achieve the vision of future oral care.
We do also highly appreciate every feedback and requests regarding Amabrush. If you have something you want to share with us, please feel free to write us any time at firstname.lastname@example.com
We came up with the idea of an automated toothbrush, simply because we are annoyed by brushing our teeth. Standing in front of the mirror for at least two minutes twice a day, was not really satisfying for us.
Marvin Musialek, the founder, came up with the first prototype in 2015. Together with Martin Forstenpointner, a talented mechanical engineer, and Alexander Stummer, a sophisticated biomedical engineer, we brought the project to life. Advised by Dr. Hady Haririan, a professional dentist and member of the Medical University of Dentistry in Vienna and Austrian Society of Parodontology, we developed and tested Amabrush to the form it represents now. We've established an enthusiastic and interdisciplinary team, and we work closely with medical universities, dentists, and a lot of test customers, in order to make Amabrush as perfect as it can be. We are supported and funded by the Austrian government, private institutions and the European Commission.
Our core team:
We at Amabrush love high quality products. They are durable, simple and "just work". We are proud to say that Amabrush is designed, developed and produced in Austria, Germany and USA. This ensures high quality, quick development and low delivery costs.
Risks and challenges
One part of Amabrush is highly complex; the mouthpiece. Such a form is not available on the market, as it is build out of a single material and the sophisticated arranged bristles can not be produced by every random injection molding company. We have a close dialog with our suppliers, who have a lot of experience with such complicated structures, and we implemented their feedback early into our development process.
Despite that, we kept the internal parts simple. This allows us to develop quickly, and to choose between various different suppliers.
Our team has a very strong background in management, product design and mechanical engineering. We have already defined our manufacturing flow and our sourcing of the various different parts. Not only this, but we are also in talks with several manufacturers for every part of Amabrush. This allows us to scale production and logistics accordingly, even if we encounter high demand or supply shortage.
We believe that we will start shipping Amabrush to our first supporters in the pilot-tester section in October 2017.

What skills help you most as a data scientist?
In order of importance: domain knowledge, communications, data architecture, statistics, extraction and analytical programming. These skills are essential to do the job, but just as important are the "selling skills" to communicate the value proposition to your customer. What data scientists produce are highly specialized deliverables; they're not commodities that everyone necessarily understands.
When did you figure out you wanted to be a data scientist? What motivated you to become one?
I consider what I do to be behavioral science. I study the behavior of both animate (i.e., customers) and inanimate (i.e., products, devices, structures) objects. I've been fascinated with behavior since I was a child. This work is a natural pairing of curiosity with data and analytical methods.

House Republicans wrong to block data on college costs
For shame. That's the reason Congress, when it passed the Higher Education Opportunity Act of 2008, required the Department of Education to publish a list of the most expensive colleges and universities, which it did once again last week. Congress hoped that this simple act of public exposure would put pressure on colleges to hold down costs and offer more aid.
It had good reason to take that step: The price of a college education has risen far faster than the inflation rate over the past two decades. There is a healthy debate over what to do about this trend, and the simple release of data alone won't reverse it. But a little public information doesn't hurt.
Last week, however, several House Republicans introduced a bill repealing the requirement that the list of most expensive colleges be published. True, the list isn't perfect; its definition of net price, for example, could lead colleges to game the distribution of financial aid. But all college rankings come with caveats, and even if the bill passes and the list is no longer a congressional mandate, the Department of Education should continue publishing it. It doesn't need Congress to tell it how to present data.
Republicans say that their bill, which would replace the list with detailed new reporting rules, would give people more useful information. Even if some provisions of the House bill have real merit – such as ordering the Department of Education to disclose the percentage of Pell Grant students who graduate – colleges are already required in many cases to report such information to the federal government and are failing to do so. Better enforcement, not new legislation, should be the No. 1 priority.
In fact, providing consumers with more useful information requires less law, not more. In 2008, Congress prohibited the Department of Education from collecting and publishing the most basic data about college graduates. Consider this: If you are a high school senior looking at engineering programs, wouldn't you like to know what percentage of each college's engineering majors find jobs and what their average salaries are?
In the Senate, a bipartisan bill sponsored by Republican Sen. Marco Rubio and Democratic Sen. Ron Wyden is aimed at providing answers to those kinds of questions. But House Republicans, not to mention college presidents, don't want students to have that information in a standardized format that would allow students to compare colleges. Restrictions can be placed on the data to protect privacy. But a blanket prohibition on the data protects colleges' reputations at great cost to students.
Before adding new reporting requirements, Congress should be reducing the prohibitions on information it has already imposed. Legislators in both parties are constantly trying to run the executive branch, eliminating agencies' discretion wherever possible and thus creating more regulatory headaches. If House Republicans are serious about improving transparency, they should stop blocking the government from providing it.

We've been a bit busy this week working on a couple design projects and both Richard and I starting new jobs. I'm still waiting on that wealthy patron who'll enable me to work at home all day, hanging out with Lorelai and Rory Gilmore. Or, Mulder and Scully as the case may be.
Anyway, I wanted to do a little Valentines celebration but wanted it to feel like us. Valentines isn't as big of a deal here in New Zealand as it is in North America and I feel a bit strange about a lot of what the commercial holiday represents. But, while you may not need a specific day to tell someone you love them it's still nice to be nice. You know? Besides, I'd had the idea for our new Wink bookmark brewing and thought this would be the perfect opportunity to release it. It's double sided and hopefully something a bit fun and cute for someone you love or for yourself to wink at a someone special.
It's available in both our new shop and in our Etsy shop which is still open for now. Even better is that you can get 25% off all orders using the code 'LOVE13' and will receive free Wink bookmark with all jewellery orders between now and February 14th!
Here's a funny little video I made to show off the new bookmark. Enjoy!

Does anyone know what type of practice or work out one can do to get good timing on ones serve?
I've watched a lot of videos but can't get my timing right with my arm and feet.
I would like to develop a faster serve. I watched a youtube video of Rafa who added 19mph on his serve in 2010 just by bending his elbow quicker in trophy position.
Any tips?
Views: 331
Replies to This Discussion
Rafa had to fix his trophy position by pointing the tip of the racquet towards the net, but has opted to his old trophy where the tip points to the back fence.
If you think about this, the tighter the trophy, the quicker the release. The backscratch loop will be narrower.
Are you cartwheeling much?
In general, the right shoulder attempts to go up and over where the left shoulder was when it was extended after the toss. What really happens is the left shoulder slides out and to the left to accommodate the right shoulder "leapfrog". I think it is really well explained in revolutionarytennis.com.
But here is a very good example of the cartwheel method. Watch Krajicek hit his flat bombs:
Revolutionarytennis.com... yup. Good for alot of the basics. A little old school, but cool.
Toss one ball and hit with another ball or Toss the ball to your playing hand and catch above your head.
Everyone has their own slightly different variation on their wind up. You may want to try breaking down your motion at first and put a towel on the ground at the service line and kneel down on th right knee to serve from there with the racket already on their back. That simplifies the motion taking the legs out of the equation for the time being. Then it should be simpler to work on timing and the position of the ball toss, especially on developing a lethal second serve. I hope that helps. If your having trouble incorporating your legs into the serve watch how Rodger warms up his serve in practice an how much his body turns around his torso so that his left side is almost moving away from the ball (with an axis down his spine) as he is about to hit it. Its a balancing twisting motion and that will help avoid muscling the ball and it will give everything alot more pace if you can incorporate that body turn. That turning, torquing motion is why the racket moves faster when the elbow is bent in to start off with not so much the jumping. Before Rafa was muscling the ball over and stressing out his shoulder while not even getting much pace on the ball. Does that make sense?
Good timing will not necessarily guarantee a faster serve. It will probably lead to more consistent serve.
One simple tip for a faster serve is "start loose, finish loose". Make sure you start your serve prep motion with a loose arm, and finish the motion with loose arm. Hold your grip loosely and only tighten it on your upswing before contact with the ball. Complete the follow through motion all the way around your left hip. Many players appear to 'finish' the motion (or 'think' they 'finish' the motion), but in many cases the follow through can actually go a little more to their left hip. That extra finish gives you a bit more speed and that extra finish distance can only be achieved when you're swinging with very loose arm.
The other factor that limits speed is that some people get out of the 'trophy position' a little too fast when the ball is up on the peak of the toss. Holding that trophy position with your right hand just a tad longer allows you to get that whipping motion with your right arm where you will get your racquet to your back (nearly touching your spine) and then whipping it up hitting through the ball. The wrist pronation will also add a few mph.
I hope that helps you.

BackupBuddy Settings: Basic Operation
The following settings are including in the Basic Operation section of the Advanced & Troubleshooting Settings tab.
- 1 Lock archive directory (high security)
- 2 Delete all backup archives prior to backups
- 3 Include ImportBuddy in full backup archive
- 4 Disable local SSL certificate verification
- 5 Save meta data in comment
- 6 Perform integrity check on backup files
- 7 Manual backup mode
- 8 Logging / Debug level
- 9 Maximum log file size
- 10 See also
Lock archive directory (high security)
[Default: disabled] - Check for enhanced security to block backup downloading. This may result in an inability to download backups while enabled on some servers.
When enabled, all downloads of archives via the web will be prevented under all circumstances via .htaccess file. If your server permits it, they will only be unlocked temporarily on click to download. If your server does not support this unlocking, then you will have to access the archives via the server (such as by FTP).
Delete all backup archives prior to backups
[Default: disabled] - Check if using compatibility mode & exclusions are unavailable.
When enabled all local backup archives will be deleted prior to each backup. This is useful if in compatibility mode to prevent backing up existing files.
Include ImportBuddy in full backup archive
[Default: enabled] - Uncheck to skip adding ImportBuddy to backup archive. When enabled, the importbuddy.php file will be included within the backup archive ZIP file. This file can be used to restore your site. Inclusion in the ZIP file itself insures you always have access to it. importbuddy.php is only included in full backups and only when this option is enabled.
Disable local SSL certificate verification
[Default: Disabled] Check if local SSL verification fails (ie. for loopbacks). When checked, WordPress will skip local https SSL verification.
Save meta data in comment
[Default: Enabled] Uncheck to skip storing meta data in zip comment. When enabled, BackupBuddy will store general backup information in the ZIP comment header such as Site URL, backup type & time, serial, etc. during backup creation.
Perform integrity check on backup files
[Default: enabled] - Uncheck if having problems viewing your backup listing. By default each backup file is checked for integrity and completion the first time it is viewed on the Backup page. On some server configurations this may cause memory problems as the integrity checking process is intensive. If you are experiencing out of memory errors on the Backup file listing, you can uncheck this to disable this feature.
Manual backup mode
[Default: Modern] - If you are encountering difficulty backing up due to WordPress cron, HTTP Loopbacks, or other features specific to version 2.x you can try classic mode which runs like BackupBuddy v1.x did.
Logging / Debug level
[Default: Errors Only] - This option controls how much activity is logged for records or debugging. When in debug mode error emails will contain encrypted debugging data for support.
Maximum log file size
[Default: 10 MB] - If the log file exceeds this size then it will be cleared to prevent it from using too much space.

Researcher: Toss that bra for a better shape
French group says bras could be to blame for sagging breasts
A surprising new study that says if your back is aching and your breasts are sagging -- your bra could be to blame.
A French researcher says that "bras are a false necessity" and they may make your breasts lose their buoyancy even faster.
During 15 years, the research team followed 330 women and found that those who took off their bras for good experienced firmer, perkier breasts each year that they didn't wear a bra.
"Gravity pulls everything down. There's no way you can walk around day after day and not wear a bra and have your breasts feel up and perky," said Linda Becker, who owns a chain of bra stores.
But Dr. Stafford Broumand, a cosmetic surgeon, said there could be some legitimacy to the French findings.
"In younger women, it seems like it would work to help increase the elasticity and therefore decrease the sagging of the developing breast," Broumand said.
Broumand is quick to add that women who are breastfeeding or growing older may still benefit from bras.
"If you are having children and your breasts are large and you want to have the support, it could be helpful to wear a bra, and if you're aging and you want to have a better look to your decolletage, it could be helpful," Broumand said.

The jobs number is out, and it's bad.
Just 88K new jobs were created in March.
That's well below the 190K that analysts had expected.
It's also well below the "whisper" number of 150K
The unemployment rate fell to 7.6%, amid a drop in Labor Force Participation.
The slight drop in unemployment isn't necessarily a good sign.
Last month was revised up modestly to 268.
Dow futures are now off 140 points.
Fears of a "spring swoon" have grown a lot in recent days, and this number will definitely exacerbate that.
One ominous thing is that this doesn't seem to be about the sequester. It seems to be more about the payroll tax hike as retail got creamed. Professional services, which would be affected by government layoffs, were up fine.
The Labor Force Participation Rate has fallen to its lowest level since 1979.
The full report from the BEA is here.

A gym membership isn't for everyone, and purchasing exercise equipment for home can be awfully expensive. Luckily, there are ways to get a good workout without spending money.
A gym membership isn't for everyone, and purchasing exercise equipment for home can be awfully expensive. Luckily, there are ways to get a good workout without spending money.
The easiest way to work out at home is to go back to basics, says Susan Hlava, a personal trainer at Fitness Formula Club at Union Station in Chicago.
"Don't overthink it," she said. "Just with your own body, you can get a good workout."
Here are a few basic but challenging exercises Hlava recommends.
The plank
With forearms and toes on the ground, keep the rest of the body above the floor and rigid. Contract the abs and make sure your back doesn't dip, Hlava said. For the first time, hold the position as long as you can, and time it. "You want to see where your fatigue is," she said. Do three sets of this exercise, holding it as long as you can, working your way up to holding for 45 seconds to a minute each time.
Everyone knows how to do this staple, which works the quads, hamstrings, glutes and calves all at once. The key is to have good form to prevent injury and ensure the best results, Hlava said. To do the exercise, stand with one leg forward and the other leg back. Bend your knees and lower your body, being careful not to let your front knee bend past your toes. Best of all, you can alter front, back and side lunges for the full effect.
Like lunges, these work the quads, hamstrings, glutes and calves all at once. Stand with your feet hip-width apart and slowly bend the knees, keeping your back straight. Make sure your weight is in your heels.
Another staple exercise, pushups work the arms, back and chest and can be altered to make them easier or harder, depending on the person's skill level. The key, again, is to have good form, says Hlava. "Go slow, and think about the muscles you're working," she said.
Stretching is an oft-forgotten part of working out, but it's essential. One of Hlava's favorites targets the hamstrings. Lay on the floor on your back in a doorway. Put one leg up with your heel on the wall and the other leg straight through the doorway. Relax your heel against the wall and hold as long as you can (15, 20 or 30 seconds are good starting goals, for example).

Less Networks necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 578 diseños de 110 diseñadores freelance.
Smart WiFi powered by Less Networks
Smart WiFi is a product for small-medium sized businesses to help them offer free WiFi to the public. Our target market is the Food industry/ Coffee shops, Restaurants/ bars etc. However, our product can be used by any business that wishes to offer WiFi to the public.
The reason our product is called SMART, is because our WiFi has lots of features that off the shelf routers simply dont have. You can read more about it on our (soon to be redesigned) website. http://www.lessnetworks.com.
While our product is technology based, we will be producing signs for the WiFi customers who will place these in their coffee shops and on their windows etc. Therfore, we want our logo to have a retail friendly feeling.. more hip and modern.
Our target audience is two fold. First, we have our customers who are as mentioned businesses such as bars, coffee shops, restaurants, small hotels etc. Secondly, the general public visiting our customer's businesses will see the logo and graphics. The look of our logo needs to dance somewhere in between. We dont want an overly "corporate" feeling but we also dont need a complicated over the top trendy design.
thats a challenge i know. good luck.
To create a single icon which combines the idea of SMART and WIFI.
here are some starting ideas for imagery.
Man with wifi waves coming from the head
Brain with wifi waves
Traffic Signs (think about icons on public signs, like bathrooms, street
The logo should be simple and iconic in nature. The concept needs to be understood in seconds with clear and easy to read fonts. The idea of a person or person head/face being integrated is strong suggestion from the company bosses.
Corporate Colors are Orange, Grey and Lt blue. However, flexibility with color is encouraged, tho the use of orange in some degree would help tie the smart wifi logo together with our corporate image.
The words : SMART WIFI , powered by less networks must be included but not necessarily as part of the logo.. but as a compliment to it. the less network logo font is VERDANA and can be seen on our website. the CIRCLE with less than sign is not to be used.
We are looking for vector images (which seems obvioius, but gotta say it ;-)
We appreciate your help on this. We know this is difficult work and we look forward to seeing your creativity in action! Please note that we will not shy away from sophisticated ideas and concepts. Future work may be available as our website etc need design help!

ANGOLA, Ind. – Trine University scored twice in the first three minutes as quarterback Ryan Hargraves got loose for an 83-yard run and Myron Puryear returned a fumble 79 yards and that proved to be the difference as the Thunder defeated Albion College, 27-22, in Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association action.
Albion's game plan was successful – Clinton Orr rushed for 110 yards and two touchdowns and Darrin Williams rushed for 93 yards – but the Thunder turned two of the Britons' three turnovers into touchdowns.
Hargraves broke his long touchdown run on the second play of the game. Albion was in position to get its first points of the day after Orr returned the kickoff to the Trine 26 and quarterback Dominic Bona hooked up with Williams on a 6-yard play to set up third-and-3 from the Trine 19. Williams fumbled on the third down play and Puryear took the ball down for a Thunder touchdown.
Albion scored on its second possession as Orr ran in from 28 yards out.
The Briton defense forced Trine to punt, setting the offense up near midfield. Four rushes by Williams and a 10-yard pass from Bona to Sage Alward gave the Britons a first down at the Trine 19. Albion faced a third-and-7 when Bona was picked off near the goal line.
Trine methodically moved the ball 98 yards – on 13 plays – for a 4-yard touchdown run by Michael Inge and a 21-6 lead.
Albion provided an immediate answer as Orr ripped off an 11-yard run and he hauled in a 16-yard pass from Bona as the Britons moved to the Trine 33. Orr eventually went the final 18 yards for the score and Albion trailed 24-12 at halftime.
Albion received the second half kickoff and Williams' 26-yard gain got the Britons to the Trine 39. The Britons were able to overcome a holding penalty as Bona rushed for 10 yards and Orr got 11 on consecutive plays. The drive bogged down inside the five, however, and Albion settled for a Jimmy Nieman field goal.
Albion kept Trine in bad field position in the third quarter as the Thunder started drives at its 13 and 9. The Briton offense took possession near midfield late in the quarter and a face mask penalty on a short pass to Cody Crawford moved the ball to the Trine 34. Bona foundBrian Spencer on fourth down to keep the drive alive and Williams scored from 10 yards out with 12:52 to play.
The kickoff return dashed Albion's comeback as Puryear ripped off a 36-yard effort to get the ball to the Trine offense near midfield. Trine gained a couple of first downs and it settled for 30-yard field goal from Tyler Keck that completed the scoring.
Albion moved the ball near midfield on its final two possessions, but it never got into Trine territory.
Hargraves completed 11-of-15 passes for 166 yards and he rushed for 83.
Brett McCarty led the Albion defense with 2 ½ tackles for loss, including a 9-yard sack.

On Tuesday, those voters still awake in Manitoba will go to the polls.
If nothing else, the final vote will put the last shovels of dirt on a campaign that wheezed its last breath some weeks ago.
The media, bolstered by a couple of late polls, have tried to magically raise the dead by invoking clichés as exhausted as the campaigns, claiming that the race is "neck-and-neck," a real "nail-biter," a "toss up."
The last poll, released five days before the election, showed the NDP leading the Progressive Conservatives by three percentage points, 46 to 43, with the Liberal vote collapsing to match its current irrelevance at seven per cent. A poll a week earlier also put the NDP at 41 per cent, with the Tories at 32, with a bunch of people still undecided.
But the surface results of province wide polls are of little value since the only battleground over the past few decades has been in the City of Winnipeg, which holds 31 of the province's 57 seats. In Winnipeg both polls give the NDP a huge percentage edge, 46 to 25 and 53 to 35. Not exactly "neck-and-neck."
The importance of the city vote became apparent early on when PC Leader Hugh McFadyen made the promise to pave all the back lanes in Winnipeg. It didn't come from a deep concern for the travails of gravel-challenged homeowners. It was more a concern for the votes in a couple of key, swing ridings where alleyways suffer from a lack of asphalt.
It wasn't the only oddity of the Conservative campaign. After the NDP said it would balance the provincial budget by 2014, the Tories promised they would do it by 2018. Huh? No typo, there. They said that was just being realistic, if not traditionally Conservative.
To underscore the latter, McFadyen went on to promise even more spending than the NDP. The differences in the promises became so minuscule the leaders should have had jerseys with their names on the back so voters could tell them apart.
The most apparent variances were carried in the tsunami of negative ads each of the main parties unleashed.
The NDP recycled its endless loop about the massive Conservative cuts in the '90s that were carried out by former Premier Gary Filmon, whose senior advisor was Hugh McFadyen. These ads ran so often voters could be forgiven when on Election Day they are surprised to discover Gary Filmon's name isn't actually on the ballot.
Conservative Leader Hugh McFadyen had hoped his former boss was gone and forgotten. Before the campaign had officially begun, McFadyen had tossed Filmon overboard like an old anchor that was holding back the HMS Hughie. He said the cuts in the '90s went too far and were a "mistake," so let's move on, nothing to see here, folks.
Rather than envision cuts, McFadyen joined with NDP Leader Greg Selinger, promising to put more and more police officers on the streets of what is already one of the most heavily-policed cities in Canada per capita. Aside from giving tourism industry officials the vapours, McFadyen's constant depiction of Winnipeg as the "Violent Crime Capital of Canada" seemed to show just how well hiring more and more police officers has worked so far.
They matched each other nurse for nurse and promised more and more and even more doctors. About the only doctor with fading career prospects turned out to be Liberal Leader Dr. Jon Gerrard. Try as he might, he was pretty much the guy sitting against the wall at the big dance. It went from bad to embarrassing when two prominent former Liberal MPs endorsed an NDP candidate a few days before balloting.
Overall, that was about it for the campaign, boiled down as it was to the NDP warning that a vote for McFadyen was "too risky" and the Tory lament that Selinger didn't fulfill promises made by former Premier Gary Doer. Too risky! Less fulfilling! Too risky! Less fulfilling! Too risky! Zzzzzzzzzzzz.
The media couldn't even keep its eyes open, only occasionally looking below the surface of the promises and policies. Then again, the resurrected NHL Winnipeg Jets were beginning their pre-season games and the Bombers were in first place. The media can only do so much.
About the only spark in the campaign was that provided by third parties which launched their own campaigns calling on the parties to take action on a list of issues. And they had some success. Cancer patients were promised free drugs, homeowners a reduction in education tax and caps on early years' school class sizes.
It has, however, always been in the NDP interests to keep things safe and cautious, play some pan pipes and hope everyone goes to sleep. That has been typical for three winning elections now, where the priority has always been to avoid the bad headline at all costs.
The Tories, on the other hand, have for three losing elections made bold promises from bringing the Jets back to town (missed it by that much) to creating schools of excellence in Manitoba.
This time their only education promise that came close was the commitment to create a Centre of Excellence -- for police dogs.

Fans of goat milk in all its forms – raw, pasteurized, cheese, yogurt – have started to notice Castle Farms, a small farm in Brant with a big menu of products.
Customers buy milk at the farm (1051 Route 249, Brant, 549-3282), and cheese and yogurt at farmers' markets.
"Right now we've got 76 goats, and we're milking 32 of them, getting about 15 gallons a day," said George Castle, a former truck driver. He mostly takes care of the goats, a mixed batch of LaManchas, Saanens and Alpines. His wife, Pat, mostly takes care of the milk.
"We just started making yogurt, too," George Castle said. "We just brought it out and people went crazy over it."
So far the flavors have included blueberry, cherry and strawberry, with a dollop of fruit pie filling in the bottom you can stir up with your spoon. Single 5.5-ounce cups with fruit are $2; 9 ounces plain, $3, with fruit, $3.50; and 32-ounce plain quarts, $9.
The Castles are at the Williamsville and Bailey-Clinton markets on Saturdays, Riverside and Lancaster on Sunday, and the Downtown Country Market on Main Street on Thursdays. (Castle Farms' ricotta, basket cheese, farmers' cheese and herb spread are also available at the Lexington Co-op.)
People like their products because "it's all-natural whole milk," said Castle. "We put nothing in it and take nothing out of it."

[CLOSED] Radeon configuration not restored at Restart X
I need help here.
Laptop: Compaq Presario 1712AP ATI Radeon Mobility M6 LY
This laptop has a S-video output. I am using a 7" monitor with S-video input (in parallel to a VGA monitor). As usual, the quality of the S-video picture is quite bad compared to VGA. Nothing new there. But the picture quality can be improved by using the radeon driver instead of the i915 (Intel) driver, which is normally activated by default. So I made the following changes:
In /etc/modprobe.d:
i915.config: options modeset i915=0
radeon.conf: options modeset radeon=1
In /etc/X11/xorg.conf Section "Device" (changes only):
Option "SWcursor" "False" # Faster than default "True"
Option "AGPmode" "4"
Option "AGPFasttWrite" "True" #Faster than default "False"
Option "AGPSize" "32" #Default=8
Option "EnableDepthMoves" "True"
Option "EnablePageFlip" "True" #Faster than default "False"
Option "SubPixelOrder" "RGB" #Default is "NONE" for CRT, "RGB" for digital panels
Option "AccelMethod" "EXA" #Default is "XAA", "EXA" may be less stable
Option "TVDACLoadDetect" "True" #Detects if S-video cable is inserted. Default is "False"
Option "ForceTVOut" "True" #Turns S-video output on at boot. Default is "False"
Option "TVStandard" "pal"
Option "DefaultTVDACAdj" "True"
I suppose that Option "DefaultTVDACAdj" brings better S-video output quality. Anyway, it is a lot better than before.
However, problems arise when I reboot and/or restart X from the shutdown menu or restart JWM. I get black lines and strange characters in e.g. Geany, some programs freeze. Only a hard shutdown and restart solve that. To be clear: reboot, restart X, restart JWM do not help.
It seems that modprobe.d and/or xorg.conf are not considered unless a hard shutdown and restart are done. This can be considered a workaround, but I would like to know how this works to improve efficiency while developing new applications (you know how it is: crashes all the time).
I look forward to suggestions.

Have you used the bootmanager to BLACKLIST the i915 ?

Thanks for the suggestion.
i915 is not listed with lsmod. However, I saw that radeonfb is blacklisted so I took it out of the blacklist. Testing further....

radeonfb does not make a difference...as I expected. I have not found what is wrong... It's getting on my nerves.
The reason why I have to restart X often is that at boot the background wallpaper and drive icons are often not loaded. I have had that problem ever since, irrespective of i915 or radeon configuration.
Restart X
fixes that but not with the radeon configuration: the screen gets messed up and, eventually, my screen blanks and Puppy freezes.
So, 2 problems:
1. Missing wallpaper and drive icons at start up (not always but often).
Restart X
messes up because of the radeon configuration.
A reboot
right after boot also fixes the wallpaper and drive icons and there are no issues with the radeon configuration. But that's an awkward way to get your system going.
So, the questions:
1. How to solve the problem of wallpaper/drive icons not loading at boot?
2. What is the difference between restart X and reboot w.r.t. xorg.conf?

If you are running frugal then check /etc/X11/* for hidden *.wh.* files , also in /initrd/pup_rw and /initrd/pup_ro1 .
You probably need to delete them. They are from the Aufs kernel driver that manages the layered filesystem . That kernel driver can be configured to show them or not.
/etc/modules/DOTconfig-K22.214.171.124-01SEPT09-TICKLESS-SMP:# CONFIG_AUFS_SHWH is not set

I did find *.wh.* files in:
.wh.snd (file, 0 bytes)
.wh..wh.orph (directory, empty)
.wh..wh.plnk (directory, file 8014.7027):
.wh..wh.aufs (file, 0 bytes)
I didn't look further deep down in directories because I can't use pfind to find *.wh.* files. Reason: pfind doesn't allow to change "Exclude iinitrd/pup_*' into something else (a bug?)
I moved the above files to an external usb flash and shut down/restarted. Result: same problem, no wallpaper, no drive icons. I then did a reboot from the menu and wallpaper and drive icons were back.
I changed the title of this post to "Radeon configuration not restored at Restart X?", because reboot does restore wallpaper and icons (not only drive icons but all icons).
Note: I use Dpup Exprimo 5.X.220.127.116.11 "B" (latest from pemasu), boot from DVD with squeezesave from another usb flash.

find /initrd/pup_rw -name "*wh*" -delete
find /initrd/pup_ro1 -name "*wh*" -delete
I don't use pfind anymore, too much features and difficult to work with if needs to find things more than one at a time.
And of course you can use rox to navigate to /initrd/* directories .
Other than whi[tp]eout files i have no idea but probably xwin + ddcprobe + xorgwizard-automatic are fooling around .

I reactivated i915.conf in /etc/modeprobe.d. There are no problems with 'Restart X' or 'Restart WM'. Both call xwin and there problems arise with radeon.conf.
The problem of missing wallpaper and icons remains. The only workaround is 'Restart X' or 'Restart WM'. That also works from terminal but I would like to have it automatically after JWM is running.
I'm just puzzled about where to put a script that runs 'Restart X' or 'Restart WM' once after JWM has started. Any ideas?

Will the following command also restore your wallpaper and icons?
rox -p /root/Choices/ROX-Filer/PuppyPin
If it does, please post the output of the following command:
grep -m 1 -i '^cpu MHz' /proc/cpuinfo
With old CPUs, Puppy is supposed to wait a bit after starting X before starting ROX-Filer. The fact that you sometimes get wallpaper and icons, but often don't, indicates that perhaps the wait is not quite long enough for your CPU. Getting your CPU speed (with the above command) may help me to suggest an adjustment.

rox -p /root/Choices/ROX-Filer/PuppyPin:
Brings back wallpaper and icons but not the drive icons.
grep -m 1 -i '^cpu MHz' /proc/cpuinfo:
cpu MHz :1000.000
From start of .xinitrc the approximate timing is:
- 10 seconds until the cursor appears
- another 5-10 seconds until the tray appears
- quickly after that nothing or wallpaper/icons
I have sda1, sda2, sdb1 and sr0. sda and sdb are flash drives. sda1 contains the puppy save file. sr0 is a DVD ROM drive. I do not have a HD. Boot is always from sr0. I use JWM.
In the seldom cases where wallpaper and icons are displayed from boot, the sda1 icon is always missing. RestartWM or Restart X displays wallpaper and all drive icons incl. sda1. I noticed that before the drive icons are displayed, sr0 starts spinning, like it does with pmount.
Could it be that the DVD ROM is too slow at initial boot? And/or is initialization at the "wrong" place?

Thanks for the info on CPU speed and timing.
If your Puppy is like mine, it will give a two second sleep delay soon after starting X to, as Barry said, "let the dust settle", and it will give
PC an extra delay because your CPU is slower than 1100 MHz. In your case it will give you an extra second, for a total of three seconds.
By the way, what Puppy are you using? It might use different delay values.
Perhaps there needs to be more of a delay before starting ROX-Filer, and perhaps it needs to be just before starting ROX-Filer, rather than soon after starting X.
You could experiment by backing-up your /root/.xinitrc file and adding a delay in it just before the call to rox. For instance, you could change this:
rox -p /root/Choices/ROX-Filer/PuppyPin
to this:
sleep 7
rox -p /root/Choices/ROX-Filer/PuppyPin
Seven seconds should be way more than enough, but best to start high to see if it helps at all. If it does, you can later try smaller numbers to minimize the delay.
If this helps to get most of your icons and wallpaper to appear, but you are still missing one or more drive icons, we can look at that next.

Thanks a lot for your reply, npierce. Getting help from you and of many others in this forum is what makes Puppy Linux great and greater.
I'm using Dpup Exprimo 5.X.18.104.22.168.
I'll be out of town a couple of days. On return I will certainly follow up.
Thanks again.

Adding an extra delay in .xinitrc did not show the sda1 icon. I reformatted sda with one partition and put the Puppy save file in it and rebooted. Now only the sr0 icon shows, no sda or sdb. After RestartX even sr0 has disappeared.
It is not a blocking issue: I can find all drives back with ROX filer or, even better, with PcmanFM. But it is a strange phenomenon.
Maybe it has something to do with my setup: I boot from DVD and load the Puppy save file from a USB flash, no HD. USB is initiated by Puppy because my BIOS doesn't. Maybe not so usual and not designed with that in mind.

I'd hoped that that delay would help the wallpaper to appear consistently. If it also helped with the drive icons that would be a bonus. Did it help with the wallpaper?
Also in /root/.xinitrc (near the beginning) is this line:
/sbin/pup_event_frontend_d & #v403
The script called on that line creates the drive icons (among other things). It has a delay for slow processors built into it, but perhaps we need to add a little more for your system. So try adding a delay just before that line, like so:
sleep 7
/sbin/pup_event_frontend_d & #v403
Again, seven seconds should be more than enough. If it helps, you can later try smaller numbers to minimize the delay.
If the previous delay you added helped with the wallpaper, leave it in as well.

That's sad news. And, if I remember correctly, the Puppy save file was on sda1 before, so that hasn't changed, and I wouldn't think that having one partition instead of two would be a problem.
And I wouldn't think that the added delay would cause that problem. Perhaps you've already tried restoring the old .xinitrc, if not it would probably be worth trying just to be sure.
Can you think of any other changes that might have caused this? It would certainly be easier to troubleshoot if we could get back to where "RestartX" would fix the icons.

Possibly, but I would think that if your Puppy can find and load the save file with your setup, it certainly should be able to see the drive later on when it is creating the icons. It does load the save file OK, doesn't it?
Anyway, it is worth trying the second delay, although it seems like there may be something else going on now that "RestartX" no longer fixes things.

Post subject: Radeon driver problem
Subject description: Radeon driver problem
I had a similar problem using the radeon driver. Everything worked except Shutdown to Prompt and Restart X would crash the system.
I also had the missing icons and wallpaper upon hard reboot.
I switched to the vesa driver and all these problems went away.
I finally installed the ati fglrx driver which worked without any problems.
My problem description was posted in the Users Forum.

Our target audience for the PowerPoint and the one-sheet are investors and potential partners (brands, bands, celebrities, etc). It should look cool, but also professional.
I've attached our logo, but you can see more of our look and feel at http://www.dather.com.
The PowerPoint backgrounds first, since those are the most fun :)
We need:
1) A Title slide - This will basically be our logo with room for a subtitle
2) Graphics slide - We have a lot of slides with graphics that have white backgrounds. So if you try to put these on a dark colored background it looks lame. So I guess having a white background and having the design elements be at the top and the bottom of the page for this one is best.
3) Text slide - these slides will mainly have bullet points with text.
Also need suggestions on fonts and color scheme to go with.
The One-Sheet
- This is kind of like stationary I guess.
- Our one-sheets now consist of a heading, sub-headings and bullet points (i've attached a generic one so you can see the approximate layout we use now, hopefully it doesn't look anything like this).
