Ready for Veve Star?
A while ago, Jontwa had called and said he'd found an mzee (Swahili for old man) with a big box of records. After several missed meetings, we finally managed to visit the old man, Janepaa (Jean-Pierre), quite a character: born in Mbandaka, Equator Province in Congo, sometime after WWI, adventured to Tanganyika after WWII, worked as a airplane/helicopter mechanic, and was also connected with Orchestre Makassy in some shape or form. I'll have to visit Janepaa again soon to hear all his stories (and he's got more music).
The big box of records had about 300 45s, some in plastic sleeves (as well as a bible in braille!). Lots of Congolese stuff and Kenyan-Congolese bands like Les Mangelepa. Most are in need of a very thorough cleaning but not all: I couldn't resist putting one 45 up even though there's some crackle here and there. Orchestre Veve Star's Nitarudia (I'll Come Back). You may have heard Veve Star's Bassala Hot before (on Frank's Voodoofunk) but I hadn't yet heard this track. Veve Star is probably an off-shoot of Verckys' Orchestre Veve. 'Verckys' Kiamuangana Mateta plays the saxophone. Verckys has been one of the most infuential music producers in Congo and scored many hits on his label, Editions Veve. Verckys continues to be involved in the music scene, as president of the Congolese Musician Union. A great retrospective reissue is this Vintage Verckys compilation, but this gem wasn't on it...

Wow, Pieter, this is a fantastic track, the horns are tremendous.
I've taken the liberty of cleaning the sound up a bit using CD Spindoctor's basic filtering system, which gets rid of some but not all of the clicks and hiss (if you get too heavy on the filters bands end up sounding like they are playing pots and pans at the bottom of the ocean). You can download the two filtered versions here:
And, as always with Sendspace, the link will stay live for a week or so, so grab it while it's hot.

Thanks, Tim, for cleaning the files. I've used the cleaning filters of Pyro in the past but wasn't too happy with the result. I'd rather hear the crackle than the underwater orchestra you describe.
Yes, those horns are amazing!

Pieter, Give the version I put up a listen and if you think it's okay, I'll do the same for any other tunes you post from mzee's cache.

Pieter, great song,
I like it much better than bassala hot, in fact its probably the best funk oriented congolese song I've heard.
Tim, really nice job on the clean up as well

Hi Pieter,
we had a 3 hours long interview (+ music) with Verckys in our radioshow "AfroBuro" (Radio Centraal) last two weeks. The interview is now online for 60 days.
Sorry for the anglophone folks but the interview is in French.

LOS ANGELES, March 18 (UPI) -- The subtitle of Season 3 of "American Horror Story" will be "Coven," the anthology show's creator Ryan Murphy has announced.
"It's a really cool story we've been talking about for a couple of years. So we're going to do that," Murphy said at PaleyFest Television Festival in Los Angeles Friday night.
Filming of the supernatural series will take place in several locations, including New Orleans, and Kathy Bates has joined the cast for the new season, EW.com said Murphy confirmed at the event.
"I wanted to see a lot of scenes with Jessica Lange and Kathy Bates going at it," Murphy said, "so that's what you're going to see."
Lange has starred in the previous two editions of "Horror Story," which features a repertory ensemble. Every season follows a new set of characters in different times and places than the previous season.

Nov. 12, 2009
Wolf Named TPWD Wildlife Division Director
AUSTIN, Texas — After a nationwide search, Clayton Wolf has been selected to lead the Wildlife Division at Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. Wolf brings 20 years experience as a wildlife biologist in Texas, the last six as the agency's big game program director. Headquartered in Austin, he begins his job Monday, Nov. 16.
"Clayton has demonstrated strong leadership skills and an inherent ability to develop consensus among diverse groups for the greater good of Texas wildlife," said TPWD Executive Director Carter Smith. "He is a consummate conservation professional."
As TPWD's Big Game Program Director since 2003, Wolf has overseen management of Texas' internationally-acclaimed white-tailed deer herd.
"Clayton's record of accomplishment in the big game program, coupled with his 'can-do' attitude and the trust and respect he has earned from private landowners, various constituent groups, and his professional colleagues, has well-equipped him to serve as Wildlife Division Director," said Ross Melinchuk, TPWD Deputy Executive Director for Natural Resources.
During his tenure, Wolf guided expansion of buck antler restrictions designed to improve deer age class structure across more than 100 counties. He also coordinated with stakeholders and advisory groups to implement massive changes to the state's deer breeder program and helped develop measures to protect Texas deer populations from diseases, such as Chronic Wasting Disease.
"With the continued increase in the state's human population and urban sprawl, we have quite a challenge ahead of us," Wolf said. "It is my goal as wildlife division director to help ensure our resources are focused on the things we do best — working with private landowners and land managers to help them manage and conserve wildlife habitat. If we can do this successfully, and I know we can, we will be able to ensure that Texans continue to have places where they can enjoy Texas wildlife, whether hunting or wildlife viewing."
Wolf began his career with TPWD in 1993 as a district biologist for the Pineywoods, where he helped implement a new habitat-driven permitting process for managing antlerless deer on private lands and assisted in the restoration effort for eastern wild turkey.
In 2001, Wolf became TPWD's white-tailed deer program leader where he coordinated statewide activities related to management, regulations and research efforts.
Wolf received his Master's degree from Texas A&M University and completed his undergraduate studies at Stephen F. Austin State University. He is a Certified Wildlife Biologist with The Wildlife Society.

Which is grammatically correct and why:
Each of you were asked to do this.
Each of you was asked to do this.
This is what Random House Unabridged Dictionary says about your dilemma:
—Usage. The adjective EACH is always followed by a singular noun: each person; each book. When the adjective follows a plural subject, the verb agrees with the subject: They each dress in different styles. The houses each have central heating. When the pronoun EACH comes immediately before the verb, it always takes a singular verb: Each comes (not come) from a different country. When the pronoun is followed by an of phrase containing a plural noun or pronoun, there is a tendency for the verb to be plural: Each of the candidates has (or have) spoken on the issue. Some usage guides maintain that only the singular verb is correct, but plural verbs occur frequently even in edited writing.
It is also sometimes said that the pronoun EACH must always be referred to by a singular pronoun, but again actual usage does not regularly observe this stricture: Each member of our garden club had their own special interests. In the most formal speech and writing, singular verbs and pronouns occur more frequently than plural: Each member … had his own special interests. The use of plural forms, especially plural pronouns, has been increasing in the United States, partially because of the desire to avoid using he or his to refer to a female.

Miami-Dade County
Miami-Dade judge: Florida's gay-marriage ban unconstitutional; couples can wed, but not until case is appealed
A Miami-Dade judge declared Florida's gay-marriage ban unconstitutional on Friday, in a sweeping ruling that cut a wide swath through American history — from the Declaration of Independence to slavery to Jim Crow to equality for women — as much as it drew from recent Supreme Court decisions.
Preventing same-sex couples from marrying, "serves only to hurt, to discriminate, to deprive same-sex couples and their families of equal dignity, to label and treat them as second-class citizens, and to deem them unworthy of participation in one of the fundamental institutions of our society," Circuit Judge Sarah Zabel said.
Zabel became the second South Florida judge in eight days to declare that Florida's constitutional amendment banning gay marriage violates the U.S. Constitution's equal protection and due process clauses.
Last week, a Keys judge also ruled the ban unconstitutional. That ruling was stayed when the state attorney general's office appealed, and Zabel stayed her own order Friday pending an appeal, saying she understood her decision would not be the "final word" on the issue.
In the Miami case, six same-sex couples in January sued Miami-Dade County Clerk Harvey Ruvin for marriage licenses.
"I'm excited. I'm thrilled. My phone has blown up with texts and emails of congratulations. I'm elated," one of the plaintiffs, Jorge Isaias Diaz, said Friday evening. "We came into this knowing it probably would go the long haul. We're confident justice will prevail and we will go as far as we need to go."
Diaz and his partner, Don Price Johnston, of Miami, sued, along with Catherina Pareto and Karla Arguello of Coconut Grove; Dr. Juan Carlos Rodriguez and David Price of Davie; Vanessa and Melanie Alenier of Hollywood; Todd and Jeff Delmay of Hollywood, and Summer Greene and Pamela Faerber of Plantation.
Equality Florida Institute, a statewide gay-rights group, also is a plaintiff in the case.
"It's a beautiful opinion," Equality Florida Executive Director Nadine Smith said. The judge "states so clearly and so powerfully that marriage is a fundamental right and that denial is a violation of our constitutional rights and our dignity."
Among other landmark Supreme Court cases, Zabel cited Loving v. Virginia, the 1967 case in which the court threw out all state prohibitions against interracial marriage.
"We've said all along that the Loving case is parallel to our case," Price said. "It just shows that discrimination against any class of people is nothing more and nothing less than discrimination. The U.S. society has no stomach for discriminating against anyone."
In 2008, 62 percent of Florida voters approved amending the Florida Constitution to define marriage as between one man and one woman. The attorney general's defense in the case cited the vote and said the judge should respect the will of the state's voters.
But Zabel said fundamental constitutional rights are not subject to majority approval. "A state's constitution cannot insulate a law that otherwise violates the U.S. Constitution," she wrote. "The United States Constitution would be meaningless if its principles were not shielded from the will of the majority."
John Stemberger, who led the 2008 campaign to amend the state constitution, was vehemently critical of Zabel's decision, especially her reference to the Supreme Court case on interracial marriage.
"Wow," said Stemberger, president and general counsel of the conservative Florida Family Policy Council in Orlando. "Race and ethnicity are not an inherent property of marriage. Gender, however, is an inherent property of marriage. This is why her reliance on Loving is misplaced. Loving in essence said any man can marry any woman irrespective of race and ethnicity."
The gay-marriage battle is being waged across the nation. A federal judge this week ruled Colorado's same-sex marriage ban unconstitutional. According to the group Freedom to Marry, LGBT advocates have won more than 20 times in federal, state and appellate courts since June 2013, when the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in favor of Edith Windsor, a lesbian widow, and threw out a key portion of the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act.
Zabel referred to the growing number of decisions overthrowing gay-marriage bans in the aftermath of the Windsor decision.
"As case after case has come out, unified in their well-reasoned constitutional condemnation of the deprivation of one class of person's right to marry, the answer to the question of whether it is constitutionally permissible to deprive same-sex couples of the right to marry has become increasingly obvious: Of course it is not," the judge wrote.
Anthony Verdugo, president of the conservative Christian Family Coalition, called Zabel's ruling "corrupt" and "simply illegitimate."
"It goes against Windsor because Windsor says the states have the right to regulate marital relations," Verdugo said. "It goes against that precedent. She has inserted herself into that federal document to overthrow eight million votes. Voter rights is a fundamental freedom. She has overthrown and violated voter rights."
But Elizabeth Schwartz, a Miami Beach lawyer for the six Miami-Dade couples, said Zabel's ruling "makes it crystal clear why the Florida marriage bans are unconstitutional."
"Judge Zabel considered, enumerated and rejected the meritless arguments of the anti-equality forces," Schwartz said. "We're anxious to move forward to appeal on the strength of this soaring order."
The Miami-Dade case mirrors the lawsuit in Monroe County, in which two Key West men, Aaron Huntsman and William Lee Jones, successfully sued County Clerk Amy Heavilin in April for a marriage license, saying Florida's ban violates the U.S. Constitution's equal protection clause.
After Monroe Chief Circuit Judge Luis Garcia ruled in favor of Huntsman and Jones, Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi swiftly announced she would appeal. Her office issued a statement saying that "with many similar cases pending throughout the entire country, finality on this constitutional issue must come from the U.S. Supreme Court."
By filing the appeal notice, Bondi triggered the automatic stay in the case.
This week, lawyers for Huntsman and Jones asked Garcia to lift the stay. He declined, as did Florida's Third District Court of Appeal, which now has the case.
A separate lawsuit is pending in Tallahassee federal court seeking to overturn the state's gay marriage ban and force the state to recognize same-sex marriages performed in other states.
In her ruling's conclusion, Zabel touched on the history of "inalienable rights" stemming from the Declaration of Independence, and how the interpretation of those rights has evolved through slavery, women's rights and longtime discrimination against Native Americans.
"Notably absent from this protracted march towards social justice was any progress for the gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender community until quite recently," Zabel wrote. "However, as evidenced by the avalanche of court decisions unanimously favoring marriage equality, the dam that was denying justice on this front has been broken."

Brew a quick cup at home
These low-tech gadgets easily heat up on your range burner resulting in coffee that comes out nice and hot. By using espresso roast beans, the brew comes out with that deep signature espresso flavor. Looking for something more tech savvy? Check out the best electric pump machines, steam espresso makers, or find out which style is right for you.
This glass and aluminum stovetop model from Bialetti is a cappuccino maker, and makes a good cup at that. Water goes in the bottom, coffee in the filter in the middle, and milk in the top chamber. Water is pushed up from the bottom through the filter and forces coffee up into top chamber, where it combines with the milk, which has frothed in the top. The top chamber is glass, so you can look inside to see when your beverage is foamed and ready to drink. You'll find it easy to operate, thanks to an owner's manual with color illustrations, detailed instructions, and even images of mistakes to avoid. Brews 4 ounces. (williams-sonoma.com)
Start the day off on a lively note with the Bialetti Moka Sound Espresso Maker — it plays a tune when your espresso is fully brewed and ready to drink. While the musical notes inscribed on the aluminum body detracted from its attractiveness to our style panel, you can depend on this coffeemaker for 6.5 ounces of strong and hot Italian-style coffee. Although it's easy to fill with water, reading the fill line can be challenging. We wish the manual had been more helpful, as it took us a while to get it up and brewing. To prevent the aluminum from darkening, you'll need to wash it by hand. (bialettishop.com)
Here you get an upscale version of the basic Moka Express with the Bialetti Cuor di Moka Espresso Maker. The only differences we saw are largely cosmetic: rounded edges, a red heart around the center of the pouring valve, and a rubberized thumb grip that makes opening the lid easier. While charming, we're not sure these details are worth twice the price of the classic model — particularly since it yields only 4 ounces, or two tiny cups of espresso, at a time. Chock-full of colored illustrations, the manual is particularly helpful. Because it's made of aluminum, hand washing is required to keep it shiny. Brews 4.7 ounces. (bialettishop.com)
Designed differently than the other stovetop models, the Bialetti Brikka Espresso Maker produces enough pressure to provide a thin layer of caramel-colored crema on the 6.7 ounces of coffee (four small servings) it produces but doesn't deliver as hot a pot of coffee as other Bialetti models. The manual is poorly translated from Italian, so it leaves you with a lot of guesswork. You'll need to wash the Brikka by hand to prevent the aluminum from discoloring. (bialettishop.com)
Here's a sleek, brushed stainless steel version of the Italian standard stovetop coffeemaker. While it may look modern, it produces 8 ounces of the same type of coffee as a traditional-looking stovetop model. The Musa features a rubberized thumb grip that makes it easy to open the flip top. Unfortunately, the manual was incomplete, and we needed to engage in a lot of experimentation to figure out how to use it. Two larger models (10 ounces and 18 ounces) are also available. bialettishop.com
This riff on the aluminum stovetop classic brews about 15 ounces of cappuccino or latte. In the center of the Bialetti's lid, there's a large button that you push down for cappuccino (to make froth) or leave up for latte. The resulting brew is warm and comforting — more milky than strong in flavor. With your Mukka you get a very thorough manual and an instructional DVD. (bialettishop.com)
If you're looking for a cup of strong brew and almost no strain on your wallet, choose the Bialetti Moka Express 6-Cup Espresso Maker. This is the traditional aluminum pot that's synonymous with Italian coffee. It will deliver 10 ounces, which the manufacturer calls six cups. Plan to spend a little time fiddling to learn how to use it, as the manual is poorly translated from the Italian. To prevent the aluminum body from discoloring, you'll need to hand wash the Moka.

LanPuppy How To?
I didn't want to make a HowTo for LanPup because it's nothing average users can make use of.
I want a complete LanPup package, download it, install it, & run it, that's user frendly.
I hate hodge-podge assortments of files, & poor instructions to make something work.
Usually many steps are required to get it working & if anything goes wrong you get nothing.
When I started LanPup I knew the client part would be easy for me due to my work with PXE.
I also knew the server part would be almost impossable for me due to my lack of ability.
I've never had much luck installing packages, much less modifing & compiling things.
Puppy being non-std. increases the difficulty, but thanks to friends I've had good luck so far...
It only took me a week or two to get PizzaPup to LANboot from a Win98 server because of the excellent app. "Tftpd32", I wish they'd make a Linux version & LanPup would be done!
I beleave they offer the source for Tftpd32, but there's no way I could make use of it.
I want to use PizzasGood's EmptyCrustPizza as the base for PupServer.
PupServer is stalled as a result of my inability & I thought at this point other (more capable people than I) might want to take a try at a LanPup, so if anyone thinks I should write a HowTo for my LanPup setup, reply & I'll write a lengthly post about it.
### Basically so I wouldn't have to keep making new image.gz files, I modded the /etc/rc.d/rc_sysinit file to jump to a custom script on the HD that copies needed files to /lib & /var, & links into /etc pointing to /pupsrv for all the config. files used.
This makes it easy to experiment & change the setup as I develop LanPup.
Pxe makes the client boot the kernel & load image.gz, the modded /etc/rc.d/rc_sysinit then Samba mounts PHOME & jumps to the the custom boot script: /mnt/home/pup-boot that copies files, mounts pup001 & usr_cram.fs, & also Samba mounts common dirs.: /Docs & /Public.
The client's mount & smbmount commands are then deleted so users can't hack into the system.
Copies of pup001 are named for each username (login) or hostname (no login) to keep them separate.
Different usr_cram.fs files with different names can also be used to load different apps.
That's the short version of the LanPup setup, pretty simple, nothing complicated about it.
For the client part of the package, I'm working on a script that will (hopefully) modify ANY Puppy version in the manner I outlined above so it will LANboot using ANY working PXE boot server.
Of course the server side dirs. & files would have to be in place for the setup to work.
I'm not giving up on LanPup, just offering what I have done to anyone interested.

Yes, I really miss packages.debian.org
Meanwhile you can take http://rpmseek.com
I also often use this one:
This is good for packages that might not be in Standard-Distros, like libdvdcss or others that might conflict with some countries patent-laws:
RPMs from the plf are mirrored on many german university-servers.
You can use "unrpm" like "undeb" , or open them in PupZip I think.

MU to the rescue again! ..... Thanks guy!
I bookmarked all the links you provided.
I've already found 2 more /lib files needed by Samba.
NOW, back to work.

Post subject: Might be of Interest
I've had Samba on my computer, with a harddrive2 installed on puppy 1.0.7, since the first of the year, all seams well. I have KDE 3.5 and tried smb4k, but i found that the standard LinNeighborhood worked great. After compiling samba 3.0.21a, just started smbd & nmbd with LinNeighborhood. Configured smb.config and all puppies see each other on the home net. Also linked smb.config to /etc/samba/smb.config from /usr/lib. Also compiled with --prefix=/usr. duke

Thanks duke, MU's site links got me the missing libs that Samba server was demanding, 5 of them in all.
How did you solve the missing lib files problem?
Samba seems to be working, no errors I can see that is.
I can't tell yet as I've got a Atftpd error I'm trying to solve to get LANboot working.
The version I used was: Samba-3.0.5-i486-3
I used files I downloaded to put Samba together, might not be as good as a compiled Samba.
There's been alot of interest in this, as of posts asking for peer to peer file sharing.
I know pretty much what I did to get Samba working & could assemble a package from it.
OR maybe you or I can get help making what you have into a Samba server dotpup.

Post subject: Samba
Didn't have any file problems, compiling with Puppy and maybe having KDE Slackware 3.5 and usr_devx.sfs installed with missing files for it, precluded it. The newer Samba may have something to do with it also. Only problem I had was getting the smb.conf file correct. Once that was done, I copied it to each machine. Changed host & hostname in etc for each computer. Set each machine to have the same file names, to share, I used /root/home and put any files into it, I might want to spare. All machines on the network are over two gigs, so compiling for each was easy. Using --prefix=/usr layed the files for Samba in with no links needed, bar one to the old samba folder in /etc where the smb.conf file was (replaced with a link). On my systems smb.conf ended up in /usr/lib. Found that add on LinNeighborhood and quering with IP-address, made windows hookup faster, we have win me & xp(all fat 32) on other machines and other linuxes (puppy is default). We start samba with LinNeighborhood by adding smbd & nmbd to the command line of the menu editor. If you want to start automatic add lines to rc.local in /etc/rc.d . smbd & nmbd are laid in /usr/sbin. duke

I'm not sure if this will help or even if you are interested but here goes... I have a couple NSLU2 server appliances laying around. They are cheap, run linux and they are nice and hackable.
I installed dnsmasq, tftp-hpa, and nfs-utils on one. After a few config changes it will hand out IPs, serve a pxelinux.0 file, and boot Knoppix 4.02 via NFSroot. I'm hoping to add puppy into the mix at some point.
Tftp-hpa may help you on the server end. Any info you have on the client side would be appreciated.
A puppy client/server on one disk like knoppix would be pretty slick.

I think a Puppy server - client setup on a CD is what John Murga has in mind.
Keep an eye out for possable developments.

Post subject: Apache/PHP/MySQL package
is the Apache/PHP/MySQL server. If you visit the FTP site, you will see the package with the older MySQL version. I've tested that older package and it works. Best installation = HDD type 2 install, so install Puppy to HDD first.
Btw, install it like this: Setup - Package Manager - Pupget - Install alien package. The package should have been downloaded before installation

Hi m1r0; Sounds great, I'll release an alpha of it soon I hope, details, details.
I'm modding the sfsManager so it's more useful, & adding load from RAM.
There's so may parts & pieces to it, it's a little bit mind boggling at times.
Interested in trying a pre-alpha (not posted yet) to give feed back?
We'd have to setup a way to download/upload it to you as it's over 200MB,
& that doesn't include any extra addon sfs files!
Knoppix has only 1 Linux copy & creates a LANbooting copy from itself.
LanPuppy has separate server & client copies of Puppy, so different Puppy
clients can be used, but not at the same time, later I might be able to add it.
To get an idea of the setup I'm making, see the post:

Hi m1r0; I've completed the code portions & all appears to be good.
A new build of the LanPuppy client still needs doing, but it's not critical to testing.
The test client doesn't have any security changes built in at the moment.
It's also large, making downloads ~ 60MB bigger than they need to be.
Eventually a new PupServer build would be nice also, but it's really not critical.
I'm wanting to do more testing, however if you want to try it now...
My friend has a domain with hosting, but we can't figure out how to set it up.
If there's another way to Up/Down Load it, say so & we can take care of it.
Or if someone can assist us in getting my friends domain setup properly...
It'd be nice if someone good at remastering would offer to make a new client.
My thoughts are:
Both IceWM & Xfce, or just IceWM with Xfce's panels & maybe other parts.
Pretty much what the typical Puppy distro. has now for apps. (web & office)
NOTE: I'm thinking of Puppy-2 for the new client as I hear it does USB better.
This'd require changing it's dir. structure to be like Puppy-1 so unionctl works.

OneLook does not help to explain this.
Believers would do well to follow the exhortation of Copernicus, who found in the discovery that the earth revolves around the sun an opportunity to celebrate, rather than diminish, the grandeur of God: "To know the mighty works of God; to comprehend His wisdom and majesty and power; to appreciate, in degree, the wonderful working of His laws, surely all this must be a pleasing and acceptable mode of worship to the Most High, to whom ignorance cannot be more grateful than knowledge."

Martin Luther once declared Erfurt, the capital of Thuringia , to be "in the ideal location, the perfect place for a city". He knew Erfurt well, having spent 10 years there as a monk.
Martin Luther, Johann Sebastian Bach and Saint Elisabeth of Thuringia are some of the great names associated with Eisenach, the home of Wartburg Castle, on the northern edge of the Thuringian Forest.
Eilenburg, just outside Leipzig in Saxony, was once the residence of the Wettin dynasty. Its heyday was in the Middle Ages, when its brewing industry flourished. Martin Luther visited this prosperous small country town several times between 1522 and 1545.
Although the Lutheran Church of Our Lady is today an internationally recognised symbol of Protestant architecture as well as a famous Dresden landmark, the Reformation initially attracted very few supporters in the city.
'Exceedingly charming' is how Martin Luther described the Bavarian town of Coburg, and today's visitors can see exactly what he meant. An old quarter full of lanes, towers and churches, and not one but four castles, make this a unique combination of art, history and culture.
Bretten nestles among the vineyards of the Kraichgau and is surrounded by the hills of the Odenwald and the Black Forest. This enchanting setting is no doubt one of the reasons why Philipp Melanchthon always remained firmly attached to his birthplace.
Today Bad Neustadt is a spa resort whose attractions include its saline springs, a beautifully preserved old quarter and baroque art at its most exuberant. When Luther's mother was born here in the 15th century, the town was the economic centre of the Franconian hill country.
Bad Hersfeld in north-east Hessen is known for the festival that takes place amid the world's biggest Romanesque church ruins. Martin Luther was attracted to this romantic town and preached here during his travels through Hessen.

She may be 36-years-old but actress Cristina Umaña, much like Stacey's mom, still has it going on. The Colombian actress has spent time both in the small and big screen, starring in television programs like Sin Retorno, Mujeres Asesinas, the HBO Latino series Capadocia, and films like El Rey Blanca, Lecciones Para Un Beso and others. With looks like that, it's no wonder it's such a hard thing to keep her off the screen.

IP Addresses in this range
IP address ranges, or netblocks, are groups of related IP addresses. They are usually represented as a base IP address, followed by a slash, and then a netmask which represents how many IP addresses are contained within the netblock. This format is known as CIDR. You'll also sometimes see netblocks given as a start ip address, and an end ip address, or an ip address range.
Traffic works its way around the internet based on the routing table, which contains a list of networks and their associated netblocks.

Keith, you are a great guy for hosting this party!!!
Bean sanwhiches anyone?
gosh Keith I don't think bean tacos are going to be much of a challange for the chef... I mean forcing sir issac to compete with taco belle certainly seems like a sure fired waste of his talents. don't ya' think?
by the way what's for dessert?
Does Anyone Know Of A Site Listing The Vendors That Will Be There?
I don't know of any site yet that has the vendor listings but I think it is safe to say that "everyone" will be there.
I took this from the ABF site
"Watch for the developing details to be posted on the AHPA and ABF websites: www.americanhoneyproducers.org and www.abfnet.org. Ask to be put on the pre-conference mailing list by contacting ABF at 912-427-4233 or email: [email protected] or email: [email protected]."
Time is getting short til this meeting. John and I are heading out to California today to get a little work done beforehand, then from the bees to Sacramento. Since no one has come up with any ideas on how to recognize each other, here is what I am going to do.
I printed out a couple paper tags, one for both John and I, with BEESOUCE.com on them. Black letters on light orange paper. Gonna cut them in hex shape about 2" diameter and outline in black. This will be on our shirts above the convention ID. Hope to see some of y'all there.
my ticket check cleared the bank so i hope to see my tickets soon. safe travels to everyone.
when given star thistle make honey
due to family health concerns I will not be making the trip to California. I had very much looked forward to meeting a few beesource member and taking a look at the almonds...
what's that buzz..
tell me what's a happening....
Here it is, just down the road from me and I'm too cheap to fork over a hundred bucks to get in. Shouldn't it be free? Then I would go.
Once you see the bandwagon, it's too late.
i pre registered in december and figured i'd get some sort of confimation but didn't.
does anyone know wether you just check in at the door or whether i got missed and am in for a situation? thanks
when given star thistle make honey
A lot of folks are here, with more due in tomorrow. The catering staff for the welcome reception initially had a tough time keeping the tables stocked, but once they got it together, the food was pretty good. I hope the meeting rooms are large enough, the itinerary looks great.
The hotel is a bit confusing to get around in, lots of people walking around looking lost.
Tomorrow should be interesting.
I do really wish I could have made the trip this year. I was looking forward to meeting up with a few beesource persons... 'in the flesh' and taking a peek at what all that buzz in the almonds was about. and johnk and sheri.... don't have too much fun.
Hats off to the organizers of this meeting. The large crowd is a bit cramped in the spaces provided. I think everyone has been surprised by the great turn out. The general sessions and even some of the smaller meetings have been standing room only, but despite the lack of space, things have flowed amazingly well. The beekeeping brain power here is astounding: it would take a month of meetings to begin to tap it all.
There are a lot of exhibitors, I can see I will be dropping a few more bucks there before this is done. Lucky we have the bee truck out here if I find something big I just can't live without, lol.
"Our own" Janet of Two Rubes, is an exhibitor here with the screened bottom boards, great chatting with her. Most of the other usual exhibitors are here as well, plus a few new ones.
Tecumseh, no such thing as too much fun. Sorry you couldn't make it. It has been great meeting other Beesource folks.
Stangardener, I am assuming your registration was in order? If you see my name tag, please introduce yourself.
Hopefully another combined meeting is in the works, but unfortunately it won't be next year.

press release
august 31, 2011
Diaego Promotes New Johnnie Walker Double Black in Style at Miami International Airport
Design team Nexus+Digiprint utilize Audio Spotlight systems in unique multimedia advertising experience
Miami International Airport's Concourse D recently came alive when a new interactive advertising display flew into town. Designed & executed by Nexus+Digiprint, the installation drew people into the display's octagonal showroom with vertical plasma screens highlighting the famous Johnnie Walker brand, and their newest whiskey blend, Double Black.
But perhaps what people weren't suspecting were the corresponding dedicated audio tracks at each screen location. Spaced only a few feet away from one another, each screen was still a unique interactive experience of its own, thanks to the Audio Spotlight system's ability to provide a narrow beam of sound at each location. Featuring a beam only 4 ft wide and 90% drop in level just one step away, the Audio Spotlight panels are the only speakers directional enough to have accommodated the narrow multi-zone layout.
Activated directly by the user, the exhibit's video and audio footage begin as they make their way through, informing them of the new Double Black blend and its key characteristics. People step into the display, walk through the video/sound stations, and are then invited to try a sample tasting on location; an initiative that truly targets stimulation of all five senses.
Johnnie Walker Double Black is currently only available in Duty Free stores at select airports, and this is the largest activation worldwide for their current campaign. Originally installed in June, the exhibit will remain active through September 2011.

Booker: I'm looking at Senate run
Cory Booker will explore a run for the U.S. Senate, deferring a run against popular New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, the Newark mayor announced in a guest editorial on NJ.com.
Booker, seen as the best chance for Democrats to challenge Christie, had flirted with the possibility of challenging the pugnacious governor. He said in November that he would make his decision known before Christmas.
Story Continued Below
"I will complete my full second term as mayor. As for my political future, I will explore the possibility of running for The United States Senate in 2014," Booker wrote.
( PHOTOS: Cory Booker's career)
Booker also posted a video on YouTube explaining his decision.
Christie's campaign has largely remained out of the Democratic fray.
"The governor's [reelection] campaign is actively gearing up, no matter who the opponent turns out to be," top Christie political adviser Bill Palatucci told POLITICO.
The mayor's interest in making a run for the Senate hasn't been a secret. In the summer of 2011, Booker formed a PAC to explore a run for the Senate. Booker's decision was first reported by NBC 4 in New York.
The seat is currently held by Sen. Frank Lautenberg, who, despite being the oldest member of the Senate at 88 years old, has said he will seek reelection in 2014.
"As I explore a run for the United States Senate, I look forward to consulting with Senator Lautenberg," Booker wrote. "During my lifetime, he has been one of New Jersey's most important leaders. It would be a privilege to continue his great legacy of service."
Lautenberg's office opted not to respond directly to Booker's announcement.
"Senator Lautenberg is focused on passing a critical disaster relief bill for New Jersey and addressing America's broken gun laws," spokesman Caley Gray said in a statement. "The last several months and weeks have been a painful time for New Jersey and America, and the Senator is working on the tough issues we face. This is not the time for political distractions and the Senator will address politics next year."
Democrats in Washington were quick to praise Booker, but withheld support for a possible Senate run.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) told POLITICO that he had spoken with Booker.
"He's a very good man, he would be a good senator," Reid said Thursday. "Of course we have to work out a few issues, but he would be a wonderful senator and he's a great man."
Reid aides said that the senator would back Lautenberg if he stays in the race.
Sen. Bob Menendez (D-N.J.), who still has a lot of sway in Hudson County, declined to comment when asked about Booker's announcement, saying instead that he's focused on Hurricane Sandy aid.
If Booker does launch a primary campaign against Lautenberg, or if the aging senator retires, it could prompt more hopeful candidates to jump into the race, seeing it as a once-in-a-decade opportunity to move to the Senate.
Lautenberg has already retired from the Senate once.
He was first elected to the Senate in 1982. In 2000, Lautenberg retired from the Senate and Jon Corzine, who would go on to serve one term as governor, was elected to replace him.
But a year later, former Democrat Sen. Robert Torricelli had managed to secure the nomination for reelection, but facing corruption charges and an uphill battle, Lautenberg was tapped to replace him on the ballot. Lautenberg easily won reelection in 2008.
New Jersey Democrats have been murmuring for years now that Lautenberg could retire again. But most will only do so privately, fearful that saying so publicly would push him to stay in the race.
A Lautenberg vs. Booker primary battle would likely be expensive.
Lautenberg is one of the most wealthy members of the Senate and has been campaigning and fundraising for decades now.
Booker, who has gained national prominence as a rising star in the Democratic Party, has also proven to be a prolific fundraiser. He boasts more than 1.3 million Twitter followers.
He maintained close ties with Wall Street donors, even after those same donors largely left the Democratic Party, which could open more sources of revenue.
Without Booker in the race, the chances of a Democrat besting Christie in November are less likely. The tenacious governor is riding a wave of goodwill and high popularity after Hurricane Sandy.

I often don't agree with what Greg Cochran has to say (for instance, see here). However, his last post, a damning critique of the recent Pagani et al. paper on the Out of Africa exodus, was simply awesome:
I've been complaining about researchers being too narrow. This article is a spectacular example. But it's not just the lead author: everyone whose name is on the paper must be assumed to be equally ignorant and incurious – as well as the reviewers, and editors, and for that matter anyone who doesn't stay up all night laughing at them.
This is actually the second paper in only a matter of weeks from Wellcome Trust scientists that defies reason. Last month Ayub et al. claimed that the Kalash people of the Hindu Kush were an ancient north Eurasian population isolated from their neighbors for ~12,000 years. Check out my befuddlement here.

Wife of Man Accused of Faking His Death Fears for Her Life
(NEW YORK) -- The wife of a Massapequa, N.Y., man who was reported missing in waters off a Long Island beach and turned up five days later in South Carolina has asked a court to protect her from her husband, saying she fears he might try to kill her.
Evana Roth alerted authorities that her husband, Raymond Roth, 47, was still alive after she found emails he'd exchanged with his son saying his disappearance was an act.
"I was planning a funeral for him," she said during a news conference at her lawyer's office Aug. 3. In that meeting with reporters, she revealed text messages, emails and voice mails in which she said her husband had outlined an elaborate plan to fake his death.
Leonard Leeds, Evana Roth's attorney, said Raymond Roth had allegedly taken out extra life insurance and removed his wife as executor of his will months earlier, which led her to believe he had had been planning to stage his own death.
"Our goal is really to get her protection, make sure that she's not in any imminent danger," said Leeds. "We plan to go into court to get a stay-away order."
Roth's son, Jonathan, 22, said he didn't help his father, and told the New York Post that his father wanted to kill him and told him so in a voice mail.
Leeds said the email correspondence between Raymond Roth and his son proved that Jonathan, who is Evana Roth's stepson, was in on the alleged plot. Roth said he never saw any emails from his father and believes his dad is angry that his son foiled his scheme.
"She [Evana Roth] believes Jonathan knew about this," said Leeds. "Jonathan was at the beach, called her, said dad has drowned, all of his personal belongings were there. So she just thinks it was not credible."
Raymond Roth was reported missing July 28 after he allegedly went swimming at Jones Beach. Roth's son called 911 to tell police that his father had gone into the water at Jones Beach's Field 6 and had not returned.
It wasn't until Aug. 2 that Roth was found in South Carolina after he'd spent time in a resort in Orlando, Fla. Detective Sgt. Thomas Duignan of the New York State Park Police said Roth had been stopped by an officer on I-95 for speeding.
"The officer ran his license and noticed that he was listed as a missing person and contacted us," he said. "He told the officer he was on his way back to New York."
On Friday, Evana Roth released emails her husband had sent her stepson. Roth allegedly instructed his son to speak with relatives to make sure he presented them with a new copy of Roth's will.
Roth allegedly emailed his son that he needed to check in with him the day of his disappearance and told him to call him at 8 p.m. at a resort in Florida.
Jonathan Roth was also allegedly told by his father to make sure his mother wouldn't "give the house away," which was for sale, the New York Post reported.
Roth said that since she went public with her accusations, her husband has been sending her messages to try to reconcile with her. In one message, Raymond Roth wrote, "I just heard U have a conference later. Be Nice. Almost 15 years together."
Roth was last seen driving through his Long Island neighborhood Aug. 3. He sent his wife a text message saying, "The place looks a little crowded. I just drive by. Call me later."
"I think she wants to move on with her life, end the marriage, and not worry about her safety," said Leeds.
Duignan said Roth lost his job as a computer manager at Level 3 Communications in New York City July 20.
A spokesman for Level 3 Communications declined to comment on Roth.

3 metres of lightweight nylon or polyester- between 70 and 120 g/sq.metre. Uncoated is best as it allows body vapour to pass through, though if you may want to use it as a ground sheet go for something with a PU coating. I used Ripstop Pertex 6, but you may want to choose a heavier fabric if you are a bit bigger build.
Whipping twine or very thin cord. I used Dacron kite line as it was laying around at the time.
20cm of lightweight webbing or grosgrain ribbon.
40cm of 3mm shock cord
4m of Lightweight cord for guylines
3 metres of 5mm climbing cord or sailing rope (polyester braid on braid)
6m plus of 40mm webbing.
All the fabrics are available from www.profabrics.co.uk or www.pennineoutdoor.co.uk The cheapest place Ive found for climbing cord is www.upandunder.co.uk
The fabric needs to be a metre longer then you are tall to allow for the taper at the ends. If you are the same height as me this should allow you to cut a strip off the end to make the stuff sack for your hammock at the end- If you have some other material or a spare one that you can use then no problem, use the whole piece!
Hem all round the edge, turning the raw edge under to avoid fraying.
Lay out the fabric and taking one end, fold the two corners in to the middle. Keep folding so that you end up with a tight bunch of fabric that you can hold between your thumb and forefinger.
Now use your whipping twine to put at least 25mm of tight whipping around the bunch. Leave a couple of cm of fabric sticking out, just to be on the safe side.
Repeat for the other end. This will give you your basic hammock shape.
In use Ive found that as with the Hennessy Hammock side pulls help to keep the hammock shape open and make it more user friendly. Cut your lightweight webbing in two and seal the ends with a gas flame. Fold in half and stitch a piece on either side of the hammock at the mid point to form a loop on either side. Cut the 3mm shock cord in half, thread through the webbing on one side and tie in a loop with an overhand knot.
Repeat with the other half.
To fix the main ropes, cut the 5mm cord in half and heat seal the ends. In each piece tie a loop around 150mm long: use a figure 8 or similar rather than a simple overhand knot.
Lay the loop on your work surface and place a hammock end on top. Bend the end of the loop up and around the hammock and bring the rope end up through the loop. The knot on the rope should pass through the loop to tighten around the hammock and form what is known as a larks head knot. The whipping should be just outside this knot.
Lark's Head Knot
Repeat for the other end.
To make the Tree Huggers you will need to cut your 40mm webbing in half, hot seal the ends and form a loop in each of the four ends. If you are confident in your sewing then stitch the loops, otherwise tie figure eight knots etc.
hammock under home made assymetric tarp
These straps go round the trees and then you tie your hammock on to the loops. Make sure you use a knot that you can loosen even after its had a night of being loaded. Have a look at the www.hennessyhammock.com for lots of info. on this. There is even a nifty video showing how to do it.
Your side guys attach to the 3mm shock cord and help to prevent the hammock from swaying from side to side and hold your hammock open. They can be pegged to the ground or tied off to the tarp
When pitching your tarp its best to make sure the hammock is well up to the underside of the tarp. The best way of doing this is to actually fix the hammock higher up the tree than the tarp.
To stop rain running down the tarp ropes, tie a handkerchief or other scrap of cotton cloth around the ropes.
Hope that's all straightforward
Sorry it's taken me so long to post this.

"Sell your possessions," Jesus told his disciples, "and give to the poor." Scripture abounds with warnings against the moral and spiritual corruptions that attend the desire for money and material prosperity. Can a Christian pursue profit while following Christ? Today, with more evangelicals than ever occupying the commanding heights of the business world, believers have to think afresh about how to reconcile the businessman's moneymaking vocation with Scripture's call to store up treasures in heaven.

text: KIRKUS REVIEW Following Consider Phlebas (1988), another distant-future yarn featuring the Culture--a tolerant, relaxed, moneyless civilization unobtrusively directed by superintelligent machine Minds. Jernau Gurgeh is an expert player of games; he rarely loses in competition, yet feels somehow unfulfilled. From a friendly Contact drone, Gurgeh learns of the ultimate game, one so advanced and complex that it supports an entire civilization. Unable to resist the challenge, Gurgeh heads for the distant Empire of Azad. Thanks to advance work by various Culture representatives, the alien Gurgeh is permitted to enter the Azad game, wherein how well the competitors do determines how high each will rise in the governmental hierarchy. Gurgeh progresses rapidly, learning meanwhile that the Empire is warlike, xenophobic, cruel and brutal. Eventually, Gurgeh qualifies to meet the Emperor in a showdown game--during which he realizes that his play reflects his Culture, as the Emperor's reflects Azad. Gurgeh wins; but the Emperor, unable to tolerate the symbolic defeat of his barbaric empire, destroys himself as his empire collapses. Gurgeh returns home, knowing he's been thoroughly manipulated by the unseen Minds that role the Culture. Predictable, certainly, and less imaginative than Phlebas, but technically much more solid: honorably crafted work, often engrossing despite some sluggish patches.

Most students at the University of California at Berkeley campus were heading back to class on Tuesday morning following an explosion and power outage authorities believe was sparked by a copper theft.
Cal's News Center said early Tuesday morning that most buildings on campus had power back and classes would resume as normal except for thoses held in the 11 buildings that aren't operational. Click here for the full list.Students in those classes should check with their academic departments for updates.
A massive power outage was reported at 4:40 p.m. Monday on the Cal campus, causing a powerful explosion in a generator vault, between California and Durant halls, two hours later. The entire campus was evacuated after the incident, which sent one person to the hospital with minor injuries and left four others with minor burns, according to university spokesman Dan Mogulof.
The fire was put out about 8:15 p.m. YouTube video posted on the Daily Californian website showed smoke billowing out from campus, and students screaming and walking hurriedly as voices on megaphones ordered their evacuation.

Students on Tuesday immediately took to Cal's Facebook to question whether the campus was safe. "How can you cancel class for some yet allow others to walk around campus?" Tucker Kahn posted on the campus website.
Another person, identified as Lientra Lu, wrote that there was an amonia leak at Latimer Hall, and wondered how safe she was and if she endure the smell. Campus spokesman Bob Sanders on Tuesday told NBC Bay Area that some amonia fumes did escape under a fume hood on Monday, but firefighters have since checked it out and deemed it safe because nothing spilled.
Other students recalled what it looked and sounded like when the explosion ripped through campus.
"Essentially there was a massive fireball that erupted," Colin Ho said on Monday evening. "The fireball was two times the height of the building, and everyone just got the hell out of there."
One person on Twitter wondered if there would be no school because of "explosion day."
So can we get an explosion day tomorrow? #NoSchool
— Clare OBrien-Lambert (@clareolamb) October 1, 2013
The explosion happened at an underground electrical vault outside California Hall near the center of campus as crews were attempting to repair damage caused by a copper wire theft last week.
"The explosion occurred when university engineers were bringing power back online," Mogulof said at a news conference. "It now appears the damage caused by these unknown individuals was far more extensive and far more significant than seen and assessed."
Campus officials canceled classes Monday night and sent out an emergency message to students' cell phones and e-mail inboxes alerting them of the explosion and that they leave the main campus area immediately. It is still unknown if classes will resume on Tuesday.
About 20 people couldn't leave the campus, because they were stuck in elevators during the outage.
Video posted on YouTube by the Daily Californian:
NBC Bay Area's Kristofer Noceda and Shelby Hansen contributed to this report.

Are You Hungry Enough to Eat a Barbary Lion?
Are Yov Hungry Enovgh To Eat A Barbary Lion? (hereafter, AYHETEABL?) was the first reality show, created by Nero, the notoriously charitable emperor of Rome.
Though short-lived and unsuccessful during its own time, AYHETEABL? is widely recognized as the earliest reality show, and for spawning the rumor that Romans fed Christians to lions, when, ironicalistically, the opposite was accurate.
Not long into his reign, Nero realized his empire was a-swarm with Christians. Then as now, fundamentalist Christians took themselves far too seriously, and were droning on endlessly and at the slightest provocation about the nigh-approaching approaching end of the world, and how their God was going to return any day now. Seriously, any day -- could happen tomorrow. Another frequent topic of Christian ranting was the sexual immorality of the populace.[1]
Noting that many Christians regularly starved themselves, confusing the resultant dizziness and fatigue with the Blessed Touch of the Mighty Finger of God, a whim came to Nero's mind. On his order, the Praetorian Guard rounded up a group of Christians, and presented them to Nero. The emperor asked the Christians if they were hungry, and in response, the Christians rambled on most tediously about the true nourishment of the spirit and told an incomprehensible story about a Nazarene called Joshva Ben Yvsef who was able to feed an arena filled with people using only a smoked fish and a biscuit.
Tiring of the prattle, Nero turned away, but as he left, he overheard a Christian whisper that she was, in fact, hungry enough to eat a Barbary lion. This sparked an idea in Nero, who quickly crafted an entertaining performance for intermission between gladiatorial matches.
For the debut of AYHETEABL?, Nero ordered a Barbary lion caged, starved, de-clawed and de-toothed, and a group of Christians similarly caged and starved. Once the Christians were actually denied food for several days (rather than sneaking trifles and snacks during their purported "fasts"), their resolve quickly cracked, and the Christians slightly reinterpreted their previous vows of abstinence, thereby permitting themselves to eat the lion.
On cue of host Ryanus Seacrestus III, the Christians were given knives, and released from their cages. Pouncing on the starved Barbary lion, the Christians cut it to ribbons and ate its bloody flesh, much to the approval of the Roman audience.
Distribution and Christian propaganda[edit]
To preserve this spectacle for later generations, Nero ordered a series of paintings documenting the Christians' activity. Dreadfully embarrassed by their lack of resolve and their behavior in the arena, the Christians organized a propaganda campaign: the Christians claimed that the starved, defenseless lion had actually eaten the Christians(!). Additionally, despite lucrative offers from the good-natured Nero, Christians refused to participate in future editions of AYHETEABL?.
Then as now, Christians were terrible gossips, and the absurdity of the "lions eating Christians" story was widely accepted throughout the Christian community. In contrast, Nero was such a perfectionist that the paintings commemorating the actual events was delayed for more than seven yeas. By then, the Christians' lies were widely believed.
AYHETEABL? is still widely recognized as the first reality show, and seven of the nine commemorative paintings are in the permanent collection of The Louvre; the other two are feared lost, though Wilford Brimley was widely rumored to have owned at least one before selling it off to fund the travel costs of his mail-order Asian chick concubines.
- ↑ Then as now, the vast bulk of Christians were terrified of their own homosexual urges and tried to distract from the subject by pointing out how God hated queers. Then as now, no one was fooled.

Until your teeny tiny teacup puppy is 6 months don't take them to dog parks or vet clinics and let them walk (carry and show only)
These tiny teacup pups are not ideal for kids under 10.
Reputable Teacup Puppy Breeders do not sell via social media.
Reputable teacup puppy breeders do not allow 3rd party dog resellers or brokers. These dog resellers know nothing about the parents of the micro size puppies. Dog Resellers know nothing about how the teacup puppy has been cared for nutritionally or socially.
