In Case You're An Idiot: Canada Wants To Make It Illegal To Play Video Games While Driving
from the who-writes-this-stuff? dept
The latest is up in Canada, where a bill on driver distractions includes a ban on playing portable video game systems. While my first thought was whether or not this means it would still be legal to hook up a console gaming system and play it, that thought was quickly erased by the most basic question of all: who doesn't already recognize that you should not be playing a handheld video game while driving? I mean, if we're going to start banning totally theoretical dangerous driving activities, I'd like to throw juggling while driving onto the list. That's gotta be distracting. We must ban it. To save our children, of course.
Of course, to highlight how ridiculous this law is, it says it's okay for you to change stations on the radio while driving -- but you would be fined for skipping a song on your iPod. Why the distinction? Who knows. Reporters, sensing the ridiculousness of the situation, questioned a supporter of the new bill, asking him if it would be illegal to change songs on your iPod if the iPod were taped to the dash, like a radio. His response? "I would have to look at that one," while then noting "the proposed law is fairly general with details to come." Ah, so let's rush into passing a law, and then we'll work out the details of what the law actually means later?

text: Tuesday, April 05, 2011 Comprehensive Plan Encourages Diverse Scientific Investigations Evaluating promising strategies for obesity prevention and treatment in real-world settings and diverse populations is 1 of several research opportunities outlined in the National Institutes of Health's (NIH) new strategic plan for obesity research. Released last week, the plan will serve as a guide to accelerate a broad spectrum of research toward developing new and more effective approaches to address the burden of obesity. Other major themes of research include designing and testing new interventions for achieving and maintaining a healthy weight and harnessing technology and tools to advance obesity research and improve health care delivery. Clinicians can download a full version of the plan; a non-technical summary is available for other audiences. The Strategic Plan for NIH Obesity Research was developed by the NIH Obesity Research Task Force with input from researchers external to the NIH, professional and other health-focused organizations, and others through a public comment period. Research challenges and opportunities identified at meetings and workshops also helped shape the plan, and will continue to inform NIH research planning.

Believe it or not, lighting can create so many feelings in all sorts of situations. You can make a Halloween scene scarier or a Halloween party more entertaining. To help you out, here are some lighting ideas on how to use black lights, strobe lights and spotlights that will make your Halloween decorations look that much better.
Halloween Black Lights
When black lights are used in the dark, they can transform a dull, lifeless Halloween decoration into a pretty eerie Halloween scene. Consider changing out your porch lights or yard lampposts with black light bulbs at Halloween. If you have a graveyard scene in your front yard, you can paint over the tombstones or just trace the lettering with transparent glow-in-the-dark paint. The black lights will illuminate the tombstones, bringing them to life. Hang white plastic or Styrofoam skeletons on the porch and watch how they glow in the black light.
You can also use black lights indoors as the finishing touch to your Halloween party. Decorate your party room with glow-in-the-dark and fluorescent decorations. If you have some Halloween decorations that do not glow, just paint over them with glow paint, flip the light switch and watch them light up! When your guests arrive, turn off your indoor lights and turn on the black lights to see how everyone's costumes look in the dark.
Halloween Strobe Lights
Strobe lights accompanied with a fog machine are a great way to pump up the creepiness of your home at Halloween. Just as with the above example, a strobe light is great for an outdoor graveyard scene, especially if you have creatures hanging from a tree or off of your roof eaves. Simply set the strobe light up in the front of the house and, if you have a fog machine turned on, aim it right into the fog. With the fog moving around, it will create a spooky, disorienting effect for your visitors as they walk through the graveyard. Be sure that the light is aimed up or down into the fog, rather than straight into the path of vision of people who will be heading toward your house.
Spot Light Your Halloween Decorations
Use spotlights to highlight the Halloween decorations that you have throughout your yard. If you have a zombie that is walking over to the neighbor's yard, spotlight him. If you have a vampire that is exiting his coffin, put a spotlight on him. Spotlights can help your Halloween theme tell its story and will draw your visitor's eye to different areas of your Halloween display.
Jack-o-Lantern Lights
You can transform a lamppost into a jack-o-lantern light in a snap. Purchase one plastic jack-o-lantern trick-or-treating bucket for each light. Take the shade and the light bulb off of the lamppost. Cut a hole in the bottom of the bucket that is the same size as the hole in the bottom of the shade. Slip the bucket onto the post, and screw in a low-wattage light bulb. You've instantly transformed your boring yard lamppost into a creative, Halloween decoration. If you don't want to take the time to create your own jack-o-lantern light, you can purchase a pumpkin light that easily snaps over your lamppost.
Halloween String Lights
There are many Halloween boutiques and stores that sell Halloween string lights. You can typically find them in the form of ghosts, pumpkins or even spiders. Hang Halloween string lights from the edge of your roof, around your front door, around your windows, or even wrap them down your stair banister.

Beloved, do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you; but rejoice to the extent that you partake of Christ's sufferings, that when His glory is revealed, you may also be glad with exceeding joy.—1 Peter 4:12-13
There are two spirits in the earth, the Spirit of God and the spirit of Satan, and these are at eternal enmity. The ostensible cause of religious hatred may be almost anything; the true cause is nearly always the same: the ancient animosity which Satan, since the time of his inglorious fall, has ever felt toward God and His kingdom. Satan is aflame with desire for unlimited dominion over the human family; and whenever that evil ambition is challenged by the Spirit of God, he invariably retaliates with savage fury....
It is possible within the provisions of redemptive grace to enter into a state of union with Christ so perfect that the world will instinctively react toward us exactly as it did toward Him in the days of His flesh....
It is the Spirit of Christ in us that will draw Satan's fire. The people of the world will not much care what we believe and they will stare vacantly at our religious forms, but there is one thing they will never forgive us-the presence of God's Spirit in our hearts. They may not know the cause of that strange feeling of antagonism which rises within them, but it will be nonetheless real and dangerous. Satan will never cease to make war on the Man-child, and the soul in which dwells the Spirit of Christ will continue to be the target for his attacks. The Warfare of the Spirit, 3-4.
"Lord, thank You for victory through Jesus Christ. Amen."

I can't believe it's already time for the last Springtime in Italy post! I'm glad I committed to this series, since otherwise I'm not sure I'd have written here much at all in March. It's been such a crazy, busy month.
Summertime (1955)
Director David Lean's Summertime is a gem, one with much more in common with his quiet, intimate 1945 film, Brief Encounter, than his sweeping sagas like Doctor Zhivago and Laurence of Arabia. It's a truly touching, romantic movie, and one that doesn't seem to be as popular or well-known as it should be. I absolutely love it.
Summertime is the story of a middle-aged spinster secretary from Akron Ohio, played by Katharine Hepburn. She has scrimped and saved for years in order to visit Italy, and from the first moment we see her she is brimming with enthusiasm about her adventure. She's also clearly eager to connect with those around her, from her fellow tourists to the Italians she meets.
Hepburn is a marvel in Summertime. The hope and wonder her character feels at finally being in this place she's dreamed about for so long is very affecting, as is her loneliness and longing for beauty and romance.
She finds that romance in a handsome Venetian played by Rossano Brazzi. One of my favorite scenes in the movie is the one in which Hepburn, alone at a sidewalk cafe, realizes that Brazzi is gazing at her.
Her discomfiture at being noticed and appreciated by a good looking man is beautifully played. Here is a woman who isn't used to being paid attention to in that open, sensual, Italian way. As much as she is yearning for romance and maybe even sex, she doesn't know how to handle flirtation. The men in Akron don't act this way – if they notice her at all, that is.
Seeing Hepburn's character come out of her shell – watching her put down the camera and start living life instead of simply observing from the sidelines – is a bittersweet joy. Bittersweet because opening yourself up to love means opening yourself up to pain, and her admirer is a married man. This isn't the perfect, unencumbered romance she's been dreaming of all these years. These complications and compromises aren't what she's imagined for herself.
I think Summertime is a movie that's easier to appreciate when you're a little older and can see that life isn't quite what you dreamed it would be when you were young. Things aren't always straightforwardly black-and-white. Is a little bit of imperfect romance in a love-starved life better than none at all? Are a few days of passion and excitement worth the pain you might feel later? There aren't any easy answers – in the movie, or in life.
Or maybe I'm just a sucker for stories of forbidden romance.
As I mentioned in an earlier post, I really like Rossano Brazzi. He is especially good in this, making what could have been a smarmy character – a married man seducing a naive tourist — into something more complex and difficult to judge. He's very attractive and has great chemistry with Katharine Hepburn.
As for Hepburn, "sexy" is not an adjective I would use for her generally, but there are moments in Summertime when she shows that side of herself, and you understand why Brazzi's character can't take his eyes off her.
Aside from the touching, poignant story and Hepburn's great performance, the movie is well worth watching for the gorgeous views of Venice in 1955.
The city looks glorious in Technicolor, but unfortunately for Katharine Hepburn, the beautiful looking canals of Venice were actually filthy and dangerously polluted. One of the movie's scenes called for her to fall into the water, which she gamely did. She was left with lifelong eye problems because of a resulting infection.
I have an extremely long list of desert island movies, admittedly, but Summertime is definitely on it, and pretty close to the top, too. I watch it every year or so, and it always breaks my heart in the most enjoyable way. If you only watch one of my Springtime in Italy recommendations, I hope it's this one. It's such a special film.
Summertime is available on DVD from the Criterion Collection. There's a good essay about the movie on the Criterion Site as well.

[Intro - wiz khalifa]
Yeah! all this louis vuitton
I see clearly now
Ocean view, you deserve it
I do this for you
[Verse 1 - wiz khalifa]
Say the trees couldn't get better
Need this sort of weather
70 degrees, your drinks come with umbrellas
Cutting off my phone, ignoring important texts
And email messages. say I do it big
I can't do it less than this
Them other niggas talking shit
She ain't impressed with them
Got the spins. and we been up for a minute
That explains all the trips I invested in
It's funny how all the fussing and fighting
Turn around into us fucking and flying
Every night I'm on the road you
Call me up and you crying. was worried about
Them bitches, now you too busy picking diamonds
And don't you worry about them prices
Cause if you want it I got it and I'mma pay for it
The good weed's lit, the champagne's poured
Order whatever you want if you got a taste for it
It's every girl's dream, but you awake for it
Fly you to where I am
I'll fly you!
[Verse 2 - wiz khalifa]
And you know how it goes
I go harder than a bitch - pardon my french
But I go hard for this. you never had to see me
On the starving artist shit, but mama
When you caught me cheating thought that you would
Call it quits. knew fucking with me that
You was taking all the risks
So you ain't trying to get bent
Saying I'll be straight and you'll be the one
Hurting in the end. and that's no good!
Just tryna put you on the game like a coach would...
Everything going just how it should, now your friends
Jealous. they hating on us. but we so far they can't
Tell us. we living like it was made for us
When you're ready, give me a call and I'll be waiting on it
All you gotta do is hit me when you land
And I'll pick you up from the airport
And take you straight to the villa where I stay
In resorts. 5-star suites, spend weeks at the day spa
Mama keep your day job, I'mma...
Fly you to where I am
I'll fly you!
[Verse 3 - wiz khalifa]
And no matter where we go, you
Say you never been
She in love, cause I keep it g
Not cause of g's that I spend
But I do spend g's on expensive weed
Vintage sneaks and hotel room keys
Can't afford dates, spend a whole week
Red-eye, no sleep - window seat

Grace's Sweet Life by Grace Massa Langlois
I've never met a cannoli that I didn't like. Or a panna cotta. Or a scoop of gelato. Let's just say that it would take a stronger person than myself to resist the lure of a fine Italian cake or pastry. Grace Massa Langlois is a lady after my own heart, and her dedication to all things sweet and good have led to this delightful cookbook of classic Italian desserts.
Quick Facts
• Who wrote it: Grace Massa Langlois
• Who published it: Ulysses Press
• Number of recipes: Over 100, covering full recipes as well as recipes for sauces, pastry doughs, and creams

5 Impressive IKEA Hacks
These Ikea hacks run the gamut from simple upgrades to complete rehauls, but they're all inventive, with amazing results. If you're looking for a new project and are ready to move on from the allen wrench, check these out.
1. Annie Cournoyer wanted a simple, chic, not-too-modern cabinet for her main bathroom. She chose Ikea's Godmorgon cabinet with two drawers but, since IKEA doesn't offer a single sink option, she created her own out of warm wood.
2. This shelving unit, from the minds of Elia Maurizi and Francesco Pepa, uses Ekby series and some paint. It also is "on trend" with natural wood paired with bright paint.
3. Jenny featured this transformation of a RAST dresser into a floral, fun chest. This is on the easier end of the scale, with a coat of paint and new brass hardware.
4. This library unit from Atelier 4/5 uses all the original pieces from the Tarva dresser, and requires no cutting. Love the name too.
5. IKEA Hackers shared this rustic, sliding door media cabinet made from an Expedit.

Great job and thanks!
If anyone is still contemplating ordering these, do it!
They are the best thing to come out since rubber nipples."
World famous Pixar artist Jeff Pidgeon bought them and took a picture of his candidate for us. If they're good enough for Pixar, they will be almost as good for you. Thanks Jeff!
Vince says: "I received some cool stuff yesterday: your Political Candidates Vinyl Toy Collection!
I'm amazed at the amount of detail and beautiful painting on these items, John.
The metallic accents are solid in color saturation and expertly placed.
Love the over-sprays, especially on Obama's face and McCain's liver spots.
Hilary's hair coloring, eye make-up and rosy cheeks are perfect, and the use of 'flocking' on her pantsuit is a masterstroke. These toys are modern masterpieces created with good old-fashioned quality. Great concepts, design, sculpts and production. I hope they are hugely successful. Kudos to you and your team."
And then send me your picture and I'll post it for the whole world to see.

The rich threads woven into India's cultural heritage are shown and discussed in the following elements of the exhibition: Art – Miniatures of the Moghul courts and the princely states of India show how one medium is used to express different artistic sensibilities. Architecture – The famous Indo-Saracenic mausoleum Taj Mahal is contrasted with the intricate carvings of Buddhist, Jain and Hindu temples. Costumes and Jewelry – Ghagra, Sari, Salwar-Khameez, Churidar will be displayed as examples of costumes worn throughout India. Meena (enamel inlay) work, silver filigree, and gem settings in the jewelry display reflect India's wide variety of peoples and tastes. Textiles – Printed motifs of Sanghaner, brocade saris of Benares, bandhani tie-dyes of Rajasthan, kalamkari painted fabrics of Andhra Pradesh are a few of India's diverse palette of hand-woven fabrics. Food – Mughlai (Moghul) as well as regional cuisines of India have been popularized in restaurants throughout the world, and words such as Curry, Tandoori and Naan have become common, many of which have become street foods. Language and Literature – Urdu is a language that combines the grammar of Indian languages with a vocabulary enriched by Persian and Arabic words. Popular Culture – Bollywood film scripts and songs borrow heavily from Urdu. Performing Arts – Dhrupad, Kathak dance, Khayal music, Gazal, and Qawwali are some of the musical genres that combine Hindu and Muslim influences.
Further celebrating fine arts from India, the Seattle Art Museum has installed Painted Visions from India and Pakistan, Past and Present. The exhibit features, Intimate Worlds: Masterpieces of Indian Paintings from the Alvin O. Bellak Collection, and Conversations with Traditions: Nilima Sheikh and Shahzia Sikander. The latter features the work of two contemporary artists who use traditional South Asian court painting as a source in their work. The exhibits also include displays, lectures, performances, tours, and workshops. June 12 through September 7, 2003.
"A literary Masala" selected by Alan Grosenheider, Head, South Asia Section. This is a sampling of some of the best, recent literature in English by South Asians.

Our beloved son and brother, Cody James Campbell, passed away on March 15, 2011, at the age of 28, at the St. Mary's Hospital in Rochester, Minn., from an injury he received while working in Iowa.
Cody was born on Jan. 17, 1983, in Hood River, Ore. He went to kindergarten through fifth grade at Westside Elementary and played soccer, basketball, Little League baseball, radio control car racing and started in Boy Scouting.
Cody and his family moved to Starbuck, Minn., in September 1994 and he started sixth grade at Starbuck Elementary. He attended Minnewaska Area High School, where he continued playing sports, Boy Scouts and R.C. car racing. Cody became an Eagle Scout and graduated from high school in 2001. He is also a Life member of the National Eagle Scout Association.
Cody always excelled at racing and became the NORRCA 4-wheel drive modified buggy champion at the Winter Nationals in 2002 and has won many other bragging rights in his sport of radio control car racing.
Cody was baptized on March 10, 1996, and confirmed on May 3, 1998, by Rev. David Grant, at Immanuel Lutheran Church in Starbuck, Minn.
He received his AAS in audio recording from Hennepin Technical College in 2004. He put that knowledge to use by running sound for our annual "Udder Fest" Concerts of original rock music held on our farm and other venues. Cody and his brother worked together on recording projects and were in the process of setting up their own recording studio.
Cody also enjoyed fishing, boating, hunting and especially ice fishing with his many friends and family. Cody's indoor activities included watching football, movies and playing video games. He enjoyed being with his friends and family.
Cody was employed for several years by Rail Works Track Systems. He traveled and worked on job sites in Minnesota and the surrounding states. His employer was really great to Cody and said he was on the fast track with their company.
Since November 2009, Cody has been battling metastatic melanoma cancer and endured many surgeries and IL2 chemo treatments. He never complained, or asked "Why me?" and was a real trooper. He always went back to work between surgeries and treatments and his company was really good during this time.
Cody was a loving, generous, thoughtful, easy-going and a caring individual. He was always fun to be around, and he will be greatly missed by his family and friends.
Cody is survived by his parents, Jay Roberts and Joanna Lee Campbell, of Starbuck, Minn.; his brother, William Jay Campbell, of Starbuck; grandmother Dorothy Lee Cannon, of Hood River, Ore.; uncles James Leslie and Chiyo Cannon, of Leesburg, Va., Xander Lee Cannon, of Hood River, Ore., John Colby and Debbie Campbell, of Starbuck, Joseph Lee and Sandy Campbell, of Las Vegas, Nev., Jeffery Hugh Campbell and Barb Richmond, of Starbuck, and Jerry Bramwell Campbell, of Starbuck.

§ 5-302.14. Disability and impairment.
§ 5-302.14. Disability and impairment.
A judge having a reasonable belief that the performance of a lawyer or another judge is impaired by drugs or alcohol, or by a mental, emotional, or physical condition, shall take appropriate action, which may include a confidential referral to a lawyer or judicial assistance program.
[1] "Appropriate action" means action intended and reasonably likely to help the judge or lawyer in question address the problem and prevent harm to the justice system. Depending upon the circumstances, appropriate action may include but is not limited to speaking directly to the impaired person, notifying an individual with supervisory responsibility over the impaired person, or making a referral to an assistance program.
[2] Taking or initiating corrective action by way of referral to an assistance program may satisfy a judge's responsibility under this Rule. Assistance programs have many approaches for offering help to impaired judges and lawyers, such as intervention, counseling, or referral to appropriate health care professionals. Depending upon the gravity of the conduct that has come to the judge's attention, however, the judge may be required to take other action, such as reporting the impaired judge or lawyer to the appropriate authority, agency, or body. See Rule 2.15.

Will Mark Salling Be Back on 'Glee' for Season 4?
With the second half of Season 3 approaching quickly, 'Glee' fans are beginning to wonder what will happen as many of the stars near graduation. We now know that Rachel (Lea Michele) will be returning for a fourth season, as will Finn (Cory Monteith), Kurt (Chris Colfer) and Santana (Naya Rivera). But what about Puck? Will Mark Salling be back on 'Glee' in Season 4?
The short answer? Well, we don't know yet. And apparently, he doesn't either. E! caught up with the mohawked bad boy on the red carpet of the FOX TCA All-star party recently, where he dodged questions about whether or not he'll be returning.
When asked if he was hoping to be apart of the show next season, Salling said slyly, "You know, it's just nice to really be able to work with the people I do, and have the job that I do, so I feel blessed. If they want to have me back, you know, I'd love to." Talk about a cop-out answer.
If nothing else, Puck — or Mark — promises that he'll continue his never-ending love capades with one, or many, of the 'Glee' ladies in the upcoming second half of Season 3. "People are pretty passionate about their 'shippings,'" Salling says of hardcore gleeks' obsession with the characters. "It's always fun to come back to [the couples] and I'm sure they will revisit that in some way or another, so [fans] can always look forward to that."
We'll just have to wait and see how things play out this season, we suppose. 'Glee' returns with the 'Yes/No' episode on Jan. 17.

2012: Farewell
Andy Griffith Forever ingrained in America's collective TV memories as both folksy Sheriff Andy Taylor on "The Andy Griffith Show" and as the analytical lawyer on "Matlock," Griffith was also a Grammy-winning singer and a damn fine dramatic actor (see the 1957 film "A Face in the Crowd"). We all felt like we knew him. Griffith died July 3 from a heart attack. He was 86.

What do October 6, Chartreuse liquor, the Carthusian Order, and the National Archives at San Francisco have in common? The answer is that all have a connection with Saint Bruno the Confessor.
Saint Bruno the Confessor was born in about the year 1030 in what is now Cologne, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany.
Sculpture of Saint Bruno by Portuguese artist Manuel Pereira
SOURCE: Luis Garcia, San Bruno (http://tinyurl.com/3mrg8xr : accessed 05 October 2011).
Bruno, a member of the Hartenfaust or Hardebüst family, was educated at Reims where he later returned to head the school at Reims from 1057 to 1075. When Bruno's friend Archbishop Gervais de Château-du-Loir of Reims died, the Archbishop was succeeded by Manasses de Gournai, an impious and violent man. Bruno and the clergy at Reims convinced the papal legate, Hugh of Die, to suspend Manasses de Gournai who responded by razing the houses of his accusers and confiscating their goods. Manasses de Gournai sought refuge with Emperor Henry IV.
In 1084, Bruno and several companions left Reims for Chartreuse where they built a small monastery and lived lives of prayer and study in retreat from the outside world. In 1088, a former pupil of Bruno, Eudes of Châtillon, was elected Pope under the name Urban II. Pope Urban II called Bruno to serve him in Rome. A short time later, the Pope was forced to retreat to southern Italy following the victory of the antipope Guibert of Ravenna and Emperor Henry IV who had previously provided refuge to Manasses de Gournai.
On the way to southern Italy, Bruno again attempted to retreat into a quiet life of prayer and study and settled in the Diocese of Squillace in Calabria, Italy. It was there in Calabria where he died on 06 October 1101. Many miracles were worked at Bruno's tomb in the hermitage of St. Mary. Although he was never formally canonized, on 17 February 1623 Pope Gregory XV entered his name into the Roman Catholic Calendar of Saints and designated that his feast be celebrated on October 6.
Saint Bruno is often depicted holding a death's head, a book and a cross, or crowned with seven stars. He was the founder of the Carthusian Order.
In time, the Carthusian order built a substantial monastery, La Grande Chartreuse, at the site where Saint Bruno and his companions had retreated in 1084. In 1605, the monks were presented with a recipe for an elixir that was purported to confer long life. The monks prepared this elixir, composed of 130 alpine herbs in a wine alcohol base, for medicinal purposes.
SOURCE: Chartreuse (San Francisco, San Francisco County, California); photographed by Stephen J. Danko on 05 October 2011.
Today, Chartreuse is available commercially and the sales of Chartreuse support the Carthusian monastery in Chartreuse. The liquor, containing 55% alcohol by volume, is unique in that the color of the liquor led to the name of the color chartreuse. In addition to green chartreuse, the monks also prepare a sweeter yellow chartreuse, colored with saffron, which is 40% alcohol by volume.
In 1775, Captain Bruno de Heceta, a Basque explorer, was sent to map the coast of western North America. On that voyage, he sighted a mountain on the San Francisco peninsula and named it for his patron saint, Saint Bruno the Confessor. In 1862, an inn and waystation along the route of the proposed railroad between San Francisco and San Jose was built. Later, at the base of Mount San Bruno, the city of San Bruno, California grew up.
The city of San Bruno gained some fame for Tanforan, a racetrack for horses. The Tanforan Racetrack was the site of the first flight to ever take off from the west coast and gained further notoriety for its use as an internment site for Japanese Americans during World War II.
Today, San Bruno is mostly a bedroom community, but it has its share of shopping and entertainment venues as well. The National Archives at San Francisco is located in San Bruno not far from the San Francisco California Family History Center, the Golden Gate National Cemetery, and Saint Bruno's Catholic Church.
On this day, October 6, I invite everyone to celebrate the Feast of Saint Bruno the Confessor by considering the impact that this man and saint who died 910 years ago still has on our lives today. And don't forget to toast Saint Bruno with a glass of Chartreuse!

- In recognition of National Midwifery Week, Oct. 6–12, the Women's Health Center will be holding its annual Midwifery Mingle and High Tea on Tuesday, Oct. 8, from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. in the David Katz Conference Room at Wayne Memorial Hospital.
- In recognition of National Midwifery Week, Oct. 6–12, the Women's Health Center will be holding its annual Midwifery Mingle and High Tea on Tuesday, Oct. 8, from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. in the David Katz Conference Room at Wayne Memorial Hospital.
Certified Nurse Midwives Pat Konzman and Sheela Porter-Smith will be hosting the afternoon gathering, now in its fifth consecutive year. The mingle is an opportunity to honor all women: pregnant or not; mothers or not.
It celebrates the midwife's role of facilitating women as they make transitions in their life: menarche, birth, menopause. It also allows individuals to explore how midwives provide obstetrical and gynecological treatment and support throughout the life cycle.
"Midwifery is really a multi-generational practice," stated Porter-Smith. "The Mingle gives us a chance to see some of our patients who have given birth with us and admire their new babies. However, we encourage all women to attend. Midwifery is not limited to childbirth."
Educational booths manned by healthcare professionals such as physical therapists, dietitians and dental personnel will be available for guests to ask questions and obtain information appropriate to the unique needs of women. Chair massages will be performed.
Tours of Wayne Memorial's New Beginnings Birthing Suites will be given and kid-friendly activities such as face painting will go on throughout the afternoon. The event is free and open to the public. Refreshments including herbal teas and pastries will be served. No registration is required to attend.
Wayne Memorial Hospital's obstetrics unit has utilized midwifery services for over 20 years. The Women's Health Center's certified nurse midwives offer prenatal care; childbirth (including water births); gynecology exams; family planning needs and menopausal counseling.
In order to ensure the highest quality of care midwives have 24-hour physician backup for all births. No home births are performed.
To learn more about the Midwifery Mingle or the services offered by the Women's Health Center, with offices located in Honesdale, Lords Valley, Waymart and Vandling, call 253-3005 or visit www.wmh.org/WMCHC.

Utopia: A perfect society without violence or trouble.
There have been countless Utopians throughout the years while they have been called ironic and hypocrites, and their means to achieve a perfect society have varied throughout the years. Heres a list off the top of my head:
Dali Liama
Adolph Hitler
Lee Harvey Oswald
Etc, Etc.
What do you think about a Utopia and the means of which to achieve it? The U.S Government strives for a Utopia, and they have murdered over it. Ironically, many means of achieving a Utopia involve violence itself, killing thousands, even millions.
So do you agree with me, and think its a load of crap, or do you think its a good idea.
In some versions of a Utopia, however, hacking would be no more. Consider that.

Does anyone know how to block SMS shortcode marketing. I have found a few commands that the source will respond to like "help" and "stop". even if i cant blok it id like to goof with the system, if anyone has access to more command info i would appreciate it. Stop only seems to work untill they develope a new marketing campain then the short code gets anoying
-- Sat Aug 22, 2009 9:48 am --
did some homework on user end response commands...
All programs must support the universal commands STOP, QUIT, END, CANCEL, UNSUBSCRIBE, STOP ALL, and HELP.
Seems like the system acts like dos.. or dos based only thing leading me to think otherwise is the help command returns customer service phone number not other commands.
would love to see some feed back on this.

A Stronger Pre-Approval for a Stronger Offer.With the Platinum Pre-Approval program from Waterstone Mortgage, you'll receive a rock-solid pre-approval before you start house hunting – allowing you to make a stronger offer on your new home.
The Platinum Pre-Approval program allows you to present a solid approval that is not subject to any additional credit, income or asset verification when negotiating a purchase contract – thus giving you a stronger offer than buyers who have only been pre-qualified.
Additionally, because the majority of your credit documents are reviewed upfront, a Platinum Pre-Approval can help you get to the closing table (and into your new home) quickly.
Pre-qualify and pre-approve are often used interchangeably – which can be very confusing. If not understood correctly, it can cost you an accepted offer on your new home. Let us provide some clarity on the difference between the two and show you how the pre-approval process works at Waterstone Mortgage.
A pre-qualification is a lender's estimate of how much you could be eligible to borrow based on the financial information you supply. A pre-qualification is less formal than pre-approval and does not include an income and asset review. A pre-qualification does not mean you will be approved for a loan – it is only an estimate of your creditworthiness based on the information you provided.
If you plan to start looking for a home, it's a good idea to get pre-approved. Because a pre-qualification is less formal, getting pre-approved will help you make a stronger offer on a home.
A pre-approval means you have met with a lender; your income, assets, and credit have been reviewed (which involves pulling your credit report); and the lender believes you can readily qualify for a given loan amount.
At Waterstone Mortgage, we will gather the following information from you during the pre-approval process:
· Most recent copies of pay stubs for the last 30 consecutive days
· Copy of W-2 statements for past two years
· Copy of complete personal tax returns for past two years
· Complete copy of personal and business tax returns for past two years if either borrower is self-employed
· Statements for last 60 days from any stocks, bonds or mutual funds you wish to disclose for purposes of mortgage loan approval
· Statement from retirement accounts such as 401(k), IRA, etc. covering last 60 days
· Copy of the divorce decree or marital separation agreement if applicable
· Clear copy of borrower(s) driver license
· Clear copy of borrower(s) Social Security card
· Bank statements (checking and savings) for most recent 2 months
After you have been pre-approved, you will receive a pre-approval letter for an exact loan amount, allowing you to look for a home at or below that price level. Although not a final loan commitment, the pre-approval letter can be shown to listing agents when making an offer on a home. It demonstrates your financial strength and shows that you have the ability to finance a purchase.
Your pre-approval is what we call a "conditional commitment". It is NOT a guaranteed commitment to lend – you will need to have an accepted offer and a final underwriting review before your loan is cleared to close.
· Before you start your home search, meet with a Waterstone Mortgage loan professional for an initial loan consultation to discuss your mortgage needs and see if the Platinum Pre-Approval program is right for you.
· Work with your Waterstone Mortgage loan professional to fill out a loan application.
· Once your application has been submitted, our Underwriting department will review your credit history, income, assets, and debts to determine if you meet the qualifications and standards for a Platinum Pre-Approval.
· Congratulations – you've been pre-approved! You will receive a Platinum Pre-Approval letter outlining the loan amount, rate, and terms of your pre-approval. This letter can be added to your purchase contract to show the seller that you are conditionally approved for this home and your offer is backed by the strength and security of Waterstone Mortgage.
· As soon as your offer is accepted, contact your Waterstone Mortgage loan professional to finalize your financing details.

Oh yes!
I hope the authors don't emulate doom2's "lots of missed opportunities everywhere and general blandness" style, and try to realize the settings a bit better. Although that wouldn't be a good dtwid. :(
I would totally love to contribute to this, but i am certain to have problems trying to change my mapping style to that of doom2 (which i don't even understand) so i probably won't even try. But still, really looking forward to this!
Here is my first submission:
"Mechanical" for slot #04 - DOWNLOAD (no skill settings)
I'm away from home for the weekend and forgot to bring the Petersen-esque level I'm working on with me, so I did a bit of work on a McGee-style level instead.
The concept behind this is "what if American McGee had made a GRAY-themed level?"
@NiGHTMARE: Top dollar. I'll be keeping an eye on that for sure. American did seem to cling to a select few textures when setting the theme for his maps, so setting out with that in mind will probably help immensely.
@Memfis: I've added the map to the OP, and will review it in depth later on this evening. Whose style are you emmulating here? Or is that for us to figure out? ;)
I've labbeled it as Petersen in the mean time simply on the grounds that that's probably what most submissions are bound to be without looking, but also because playing through it briefly it seemed to me the most likely emmulation, with some American elements thrown in!
Top stuff so far.
I was inspired by indoor maps from the first episode (mainly 02, 04 and 06) but I used more non-orthogonal lines than McGee did. So I guess it is indeed a mix of his and Petersen's styles.
Looking forward to your review. :)
Meanwhile I found and fixed one silly bug. Version 2 - [OLD LINK]
EDIT: okay, now I REALLY fixed it. Version 3 - http://speedy.sh/5YkCF/d2twid-map04mem-version3.zip
So! Gave it a proper run, and there's a fair bit to talk about here.
One thing that occurred to me after I finished playing the map was that a map that emulates the styles of two authors - a collaboration - also begs the question as to how those styles were implemented and in what sequence, as undeniably there are many ways in which this could happen. Did American create the layout and then abandon the map leaving Sandy to piece everything together? Was it the other way 'round? Or perhaps Sandy proposed an idea to American, who textured a series of rooms only for a dissatisfied sandy to jump in take hold of the reins! How, for this matter, do we suppose Dead Simple came about?
The map feels to me like less a "collaboration" between the two designers and more of a disassociated fusing together of styles to create a map which showcases the different mapping traits of Petersen and Mcgee (in places). This doesn't say anything about how successfully their aspects of design were implemented, of course; just that they don't come together in a way that would indicate the map had "evolved" or progressed between designers in stages. There are certainly a few noticeable traits in here that are worth pointing out and developing, but the first point is the one that I think needs addressing the most!
On to the positives...:
On the American front, there's a rather "interactive" element in the form of a raisable/lowerable floor, a returnable bridge, and one or two instances of bars or lifts that are switch activated rather than manually up front. The Focus (coincidental map slot) features on/off lights and a crusher window, The Crusher features its namesake activated by a modest switch, and The Gantlet features a couple of switches meant for remotely activating nearby objects and tricking the player. The list of examples is considerable, and critically they are often quite trivial or small scale interactions/actions. I think you've got this aspect down pretty well!
The closet traps are pretty McGee as well, with the sergeants behind the corridor window near the start as well as the instance near the exit being good examples.
One thing I think would have helped immensely on a similar front would be focusing more on localized, set piece fire fights/encounters as opposed to (or intermittingly in place of) a more unrelated scattering of monsters seen here. Since this is a map with a pretty compact structure we can't really compare it with maps like map03, 06 or 14, but encounters of the kind seen in maps 02 (red key/blue key/exit points) and 22 (baron>chaingunner trap/first emerging into the outdoor intersection), which features encounters of the sort described mingled in between a distribution of monsters similar to what you've got here, would be great examples to study assuming you're going for a more American than Sandy map.
To me the layout only seems American with it being a linear map featuring one corresponding object/door to each key, and perhaps the way in which the player progresses through the map. Unfortunately I cannot really vouch for it seeming a sandy layout either as the player doesn't really come across any areas that are provided their own concepts and neither does the map demonstrate some sort of overarching concept (examples of the former would be map09 in the context of a more linear map like this one where the player revisits some areas, map21 or map27. Examples of the latter would be map23 and map24).*
The last room is detached enough that it could be either Sandy or American, but isn't committed enough to an idea or orchestrated/arranged enough to be either.
The geometry of the map is clearly bending toward Sandy a lot more, and I think you're on the right track with it so far, but it suffers a similar problem I think as the texturing. Texturing - and visuals in general - take a back seat to conceptualization and fun with sandy, so once again without any real overarching concept to this map it seems odd and rather unlikely that he would commit himself so much to the task of creating such elaborate contrast and variety without a supporting concept.
Megalyth's Passage to Exile works with this sort of combination I think because it accommodates the idea of the merging of worlds. The texturing therefore takes a front seat next to fun/gameplay!
Similarly with geometry, Sandy will only really tend to it where it counts, otherwise mapping out whatever the hell is necessary just so that it allows for the concept he has in mind to come to fruition.
Holy text, Scatman! Looks like I've gone overboard.
Overall, I would say that it doesn't convince me of its being an id creation, but it does clearly offer some well honed examples of McGee's mapping traits in particular, which is just as well because its his maps you were aiming to draft ideas from! I think that if you want to continue with this map I would focus entirely on its becoming an American creation - perhaps starting by eliminating some of the non-orthogonal geometry within larger rather than connecting areas - and otherwise try and imagine the map more as a literal "collaboration" instead of the simple merging of observed mapping traits.
Did I say good job? Good show :D
Feel free to disregard everything I say and storm back to the drawing board with your own ideas, if you disagree! :)
* Some maps like map08 and 13 marry the idea of an overarching concept or gimmick with a series of concepts that act independently of each other.
My first sketch of Map05. Base on original is loose but there - as uploaded to channel dtwid or so(early version - bugs guranteed).
Better have a flashlight or tft display at hand...
bruce, those screenies look awesome.
Well, it was fun to make that map, but I'm absolutely not interested in editing it just to meet some stylistic requirements that I don't truly understand. That doesn't sound fun to me. I'd rather use it in some other project then.
I hope other mappers will find your analysis useful/inspiring. Cheers.
Are the contributors gonna use the DTWID site for this project too?
Reviewing Romero's work on Doom 2 shows an emphasis on catwalks and ledges, with a lot of use of wood, stone and metal textures. Not much of the science fiction trappings of E1, here. Maps 11, 17 and 29 are particularly notable examples, but sections of 20 and 26 also qualify. It's no surprise to see his name on E4M2 & E4M6, which was more of the same style.
Awesome, I missed the first one of these!
Got a few ideas for MAP07, we'll see how this turns out.
Hey guys, I know I've already posted this in another topic somewhere, but I felt I might as well post it here anyway.
This was just a quick map I made at one point, nothing too serious. The point of view was that of the possibility of John Romero originally making the first level of Doom II and being dissatisfied with it later on and having it removed. So Sandy Petersen later stepped in to make what would become the MAP01 of Doom II we all recognize. It was just something I did for fun at one point at the possibility of there being a Doom II The Way Id Did. I don't intend on making any changes to the map so anyone can fiddle around with it whether it's acceptable material or not, I just figured I'd post it anyway. I am busy, busy, busy with life so I won't be making any other changes/contributions most likely.
_bruce_ said:On the downside this makes the project extremely demanding... just reading through Alfonzo's report seems like a studying a PhD of multifaceted Doom design rules. Best to just try to keep it simple and fun with some extrapolated character of the original map focused on.

Heh, sorry about that!
I must stress however that these are not rules. They're not even guidelines! I go into this sort of depth so that anyone who is equally as obsessive about the process as myself might take interest in the sorts of points raised. They're there to be ignored as much as they are to be mulled over. Following a rule to keep maps simple and fun could very well net you a better id map than otherwise. Especially if it's Sandy!
@valkiriforce: I'll post it in the OP. It could very well pique interest.
Mr. Chris said:Are the contributors gonna use the DTWID site for this project too?
We'll be using a project management site, yes, but not the same one I don't think. We got a quick glimpse of the intended site yesterday, I believe, and so far it looks clean and profitable. More details to follow.

To be precise - We briefly discussed this and we're planning to deploy a clone of the DTWID page to support D2TWID submissions. That is only meant as a placeholder page however, and a "somewhere to go" location on the internet. I for one do believe no project should be left without it's own page, especially not something as cool as DTWID.
I'm working on something bigger tho'. Work and university are a bit overwhelming right now, but I'm trying to get as much done as possible in the free time... but aren't we all? :)

Thanks, though it's listed as Romero + Petersen when it should just be Romero.
Another aspect of Romero maps in Doom 2 is that they often have a hub and spokes design.
By that I mean that the level has a central area to which you will return several times (sometimes this is also the start area, but not always), and then several independent sub-sections (the 'spokes') that you need to enter and complete, before returning to the hub (perhaps in an area of the hub you could previously see, but not directly access), and moving on to the next subsection.
Here's my map - replaces MAP02. WIP name "The Undercurrent".
Only tested in ZDoom so far. (Whoops.)
Enjoy! :D
Consolidating links from the previous threads:
John Romero (find 'rules romero' in your browser)
Sandy Petersen
American McGee
- some discussion on the forums here
DOOM 2-wise, I've noticed a few quirks not mentioned above
Romero always starts you out in a tight spot with limited resources. It makes a pistol start really tense, and bleeds off your stock from the previous level if not. Get past that and there's plenty of powerups guarded by a tactical mix of monsters.
Petersen uses hordes of enemies, usually in big single-type blocks. Tricks and Traps makes his view on this abundantly clear. The actual 'tricks' usually come in between these firefights. With Romero, you duck into a secret because you need the ammo; with Petersen you do it after killing everything in sight.
In addition to his small, connected levels, McGee was meticulous on enemy placement. It's not nonstop action like Romero, but when the hammer drops you're facing a finely-honed killing machine. The layouts feel more similar to Plutonia than the other D2 maps.
Not sure why Jimmy1 didn't get any feedback on his map. I really liked it. I thought the layout and detailing were done very well. The gameplay was fine, too. I didn't like the long rectangle lighting in the square dark room, but this is really a minor personal taste nitpick. I would probably get used it in time. I didn't really like the imps floating in the ssg room--probably better off removing them and putting them in a more traditional position (maybe indented holes in the wall behind bars--I think doing this is an oft used motif--not a cliche).
The opening room of the level was very nice. A great level opener in my mind. It immediately put me in a good mood and in a mind to go forward. The only thing is it is immediately recognizable as a nod to map02 (as is the name of your level). I'm thinking these two things alone are probably the reason no one has given you any feedback on your level, but I could be wrong.
I really liked the red key-get room. It somehow complemented the rest of the map very nicely. Maybe have a secret door on the second chaingunner shelf? (or could that be too reminiscent of the super secret on map06?) Maybe have only the green armor pillar lower and then the red key pillar lower when you grab the green armor?
I really liked the exit room with the box of rocket shelf. Like all the rooms in the whole map, the scale is perfect. What I didn't like, tho, is the way you get to the shelf. It just was not a very satisfying way to solve the problem of getting up on the shelf. :( Debatable whether it was any better than having a teleport. How about maybe a small pillar (would fit the motif of the green armor and red key pillars earlier) that rises so that you can jump across? Not sure if that is a good suggestion, either, tho. I recommend you find a solution that is a little better tho!
I played your map after beating map01. It was great having two rockets to clear groups of splatterable monsters behind bars or on ledges. A rocket here and there in the level would be GREAT--and would be a very nice alternative to the low shotgun shell scenario over the played out berskerk pack (which I strongly suggest you replace with a medkit), but keep the chainsaw for now.
The soul sphere room was really nice--very well implemented the way it connects to the ssg room.
Overall great job!
FWIW Jimmy has gotten a bunch of feedback on his level on IRC; there just wasn't a lot of point in repeating all of it here.
Yep, and I need to put all of it into a text file and resubmit the map per the feedback. :)
Thanks a bunch Hellbent! Glad you like it overall. There was some talk on IRC that it was too faithful to the original MAP02, which you talked about as well. I might retexture a few of the rooms of the map to make it slightly more original - I'll add some more BIGBRIK, maybe some STONE and ROCK. I really like the overall theme of MAP02, though, so I'll try and preserve at least a few of the existing thematic similarities.
Wow. I have really missed so much things at Doomworld! What's next? The release of "Interception"? :P
Anyway, good luck with the project. The idea is cool already. (I might be a little late about posting)
Okay, new version of The Undercurrent. This should hopefully address all the concerns that were raised about it. :)
I'll join and make MAP31.
I was thinking that the Wolf levels should be Commander Keen 3D levels instead. That would be hilarious and awesome! Great job on DTWID, and I can't wait for the sequel (please don't take 14 months!) After this we need UDTWID, and possibly HTWRD.
I guess we're "breaking character" of the project a bit with the secret maps, but a few of us are definitely thinking that Keen is the way to go. Not sure how best to go about doing it, though I do have a specific idea in mind for MAP32 that I want to try. :P

Fully agreed, it feels right to go for that.
The submission page is finally up.
For now not only does it operate exactly like the first one, but it looks the same too. The color scheme however will change in the next few hours.
Report any and all bugs to me via PM, email, or via IRC (http://d2twid.herokuapp.com/contact) - please don't pollute this forum with posts about the page.

Problem creating a remastered CD (Solved)
I am trying to create a remastered DVD of my puppy setup.
1. Can I boot up into my regular puppy session using my save file and then save everthing that is already installed to an iso file that I can burn to a new CD or DVD?
2. What I did was boot up from my puppy CD in RAM, no savefile used. I them installed a pile of software, changed my desktop etc... Once I did that, I used the remaster tool to save my setup to an iso file.
When I restarted my machine I used brasero in Mint 13 XFCE to burn the iso file to DVD. I would think this is the right way? Once I did that I restarted from the DVD in RAM because I have not created a savefile. I thought I would see all the software I installed but all I saw was the default Puppy with no apps. Nothing.
What am I doing wrong? My lupy_528.sfs file is 442.6 MB in size so I would assume that this file contains all the apps and configurations I made.

Hey, i don't know why you don't see any programs. The programs aren't installed or just the icons, menu, etc?
Anyways, to question 1, yes you can. And i think that's the best way.
Here's a good guide:

Rmcellig, why not try using a multisession DVD instead of remastering? It's just like a remastered Puppy containing all the settings and programs you've installed, but much easier to do. It will even boot in a different computer; you may have to go through the hardware configuration (display, sound and the like) again, if it is different.
The simplest way I know to make a multisession DVD is burn the iso of your choice with Puppy's Burniso2cd. Then you boot the DVD, adjust it to your liking, install whatever programs you want and save to the DVD. The next time you boot, all your settings and programs will be as they were before you shut down.

Why did you use Mint burning tools btw ?
The remaster script is for simple changes to create an adhoc fast Puppy-5.x.97 release with bugfixes mainly to /usr directory . In case you installed a lot of config files to /etc and /root/.[[:alnum:]]* and did not edit the /tmp/root and /tmp/etc directories as the Xdialogs asked for then you would probably be missing your new background in /root/pictures/ . Most people take the easy way out and delete everything in /tmp/etc and /tmp/root and replace them copying /etc and /root with rox and delete /tmp/etc/.Xloaded .

I used Brassero in Mint because I booted from the puppy 5.2.8 CD, added apps and then wanted to burn the remastered iso back to the CD I started up with. I thought I wasn't able to do this so I rebooted into Mint and used Brasero.
I tried the DVD thing a while back making it a multi-session DVD but I found it took way too long to start up and I had all these save session folders on my DVD.
I am going to try this remastering again because this is basically what I am after:
I want to install all the apps, and wallpaper I want to use normally in Puppy. Then I can save as an iso file and burn the iso file to a new CD or DVD. This is basically all I want to do.
I want to keep my savefile as healthy as possible and will look into the advice posted in this thread regarding savefile management.

Wow! It worked. Not sure what I did. Maybe I was having a rough day yesterday and wasn't as focused on the task at hand. Here is what I did.
I booted up from the DVD RW I was using yesterday. It booted with the remastered ISO I created yesterday (for some reason it worked this time). I put my background folders on my desktop for easy access. Now when I want to change my desktop I just right mouse click on the lock icon, select backdrop and just drag the wallpaper over.
I installed a couple of other apps, and then remastered to a new iso file. I did a complete blank of my startup DVD RW and then used burniso2cd to burn the new remastered iso file. Once done, I restarted from the DVD and all my changes are there. This is really easy to do. Now I am going to try the DVD on other computers that I use. I realize I will have to tweak a couple of things but hey, this is light years more than I could ever do with my iMac running OS X Snow Leopard.
Now if I can find a way to edit my video files. I usually mark the beginning and end of the snippet I want to save and then just save that to a mov or whatever video format. I know there is Avidemux but I have always had issues with that app. I use MPEG Streamclip on my Mac. So easy and it works every time. If I could find the equivalent in Linux and hopefully Puppy, it's goodbye iMac and hello Puppy!!!

I discovered something interesting (at least to me). Remember a few comments ago I stated that after remastering a CD and copying it to a new cd, I restarted my machine and all I got was the basic Puppy Linux desktop. Not the one I created.
When I restarted, I pressed F2 and then selected puppy pfix=ram. Once I did that and continued starting up, my remastered system showed up.
Can someone explain to me why this is?
Now I have my Dell 3000 desktop, my Dell 4500S desktop and my HP laptop all booted from a remastered DVD. So far they all work great and fast!!
What I really like is that on my Dell Dimension 3000 it was a snap setting up my crontabs to record my weekly radio shows. That is really something.
I find I get way more done in less time when I use Puppy than when I use my iMac (I think I mentioned this before) but I am still coming off a Puppy High of an OS that works well fast and simple.

Hi rmcellig,
I will try and explain to yo why this happens. When you boot a puppy into pfix=ram you are bypassing any savefile you have from that version of puppy.
See when you load a puppy it looks for any files with that number and name of sfs and will load that instead of what is on the cd/dvd.
When you bypass and go into ram it will boot what is on the media instead.
I hope this has helped.

I need some clarification on the remaster CD process. I find that if I add some files to my root directory before going to through the remaster process, they are not there after I remaster, save the iso file and burn it to a CD. Am I missing something when I go through the remaster process?
Also I need some clarification and maybe some examples regarding these windows.
Thanks (as always!!).

Let us take a look at this process. When you stall pets like wine, pwidgets and others that have folders in ~./. This is a hidden folder. Click on the eye to see this type of folder.
During the remaster process will be able to edit the ~./folder-What you do is
1) open root and click to see the hidden files
2) open /tmp/root and drag and drop the file from root of the puppy you are remastering.
As far as the questions go I click no on all three of your pics that you have shown.
Here is a pic of the move of folders Hope this is helpfull
You could also use woofy get it here

The tmp/root only shows up when ask at that point in the process
When i do a remaster during the whole process I don't do anything else with the computer until I am prompted to by the remaster program.
