So my life has been pretty hectic the past few weeks, everything seems to be changing (for the better that is). My business is finding its feet (slowly) and it's great that I have focus and a reason to get up in the morning.
Meanwhile, everything around me seems to be changing too. Friends are getting married, having babies and buying houses. I am staying put for a while. I have reached the point after 2 years where I am comfortable and finding my own feet. I need to let the dust settle on what has been a long road to recovery. There's still a long way to go, but I am getting there.
After a Saturday night of enjoying myself at my friends' engagement party, I am suffering for it. There is a higher price to pay for good heels when you have RA. I wore some fabulous heels, for the first time in ages may I add. I managed a couple of hours walking like bambi. I could feel my knees swelling by the minute but it was worth it to look and feel good for a change. Of course the days of suffering have followed that always follow a good time for me. I seem to be punished for enjoying myself on regular occasions. Why is that? It's rather annoying. Being in a coma for a day is not a great outcome after a few drinks and wearing high heels but when I think of the alternative, missing out on having a great night with friends, I know what I'd choose every time.
It's amazing to see all my friends thriving in life. It's a lot easier to be overwhelmingly happy for them now I feel a bit better! It's always difficult to celebrate the achievement of others when it seems like your life is falling apart but it's true what they say, good things come to those who wait.
I have been asked to do a talk in front of my hospital governors about my condition and the importance of rheumatology services tomorrow. I am honoured that they would think of me to represent us RA sufferers and will do us proud (I hope). Although, I have to say I am a little nervous. I do always get this little part of me that is saddened when I discuss my condition. It brings back memories of the long road I have travelled since my diagnosis. My worst fear is balling my eyes out in front of them and making a complete tit of myself! (But I do that on most days anyway). So I will let you know how my speech goes, hopefully those movie buffs at the Oscars will be watching too (I've always fancied winning one, maybe next year).
I hope you are well my friends and making sure you are enjoying yourselves, even if a bit of suffering follows. Believe me, it's totally worth it when you can join in with your friends dancing to 'come on Eileen'.

More than 10,000 people braved the near-freezing temperatures Feb. 17 to run and support the 26.2 with Donna, the national marathon to finish breast cancer. The race began at The Players parking lot off of ATP Tour Boulevard in Ponte Vedra Beach and looped through Jacksonville and Atlantic Beaches. Local bands set up along First Street to provide entertainment for onlookers and runners. After the race, runners and supporters gathered at the Mayo Clinic in the Runner's Village for food, drinks and music.

text: I would have to say that locale is my favorite app so far. I had some trouble with it being inconsistent last week, but now it seems to be running smoothly. I'm saving battery power by having it turn off my WiFi settings while I'm at work, during work hours. The second best would have to be Bonsai Blast, which is a more complicated and challenging game than I expected.

Christmas Is About Hanging in There
By Glenn Mollette
A lot of people have given up.
My father fell off a barn when I was about thirteen years old. He cracked his vertebrae and missed about six months of work. There was no unemployment insurance, or federal relief money. Everything became very lean as life was put on hold in hopes of better days.
By Christmas my father was getting around on crutches. We had a Christmas tree but I dared not ask for anything for Christmas. I knew we didn't have any money. On Christmas Eve we had a family gathering and we had food to eat. There actually was some exchanging of gifts and my mother handed me a small wrapped box. I was shocked. I anticipated nothing. Opening the present I found a simple watch. I would guess it cost eight to ten dollars at the most. It might as well have been a Rolex. I was so surprised and couldn't believe my parents had bought me something for Christmas. I don't know how they did it.
A couple of months later my father was back to work and times became better as we hung in there and survived difficult times. The Christmas gift is stuck in my head as being one of the all time best. The gift was simple but great.
Most of us know about a difficult time in life. We've all been there in some way. Maybe you are there now. Possibly your heath is not so great and you are hoping for better days. You may be unemployed and you don't know how you are going to pay all the bills. Often life is never exactly as we had hoped or planned.
Every year of life is a little different and if you are reading this you still have hope. One of the keys to a better tomorrow is hanging in there today. It's easy to give up. Life can be discouraging. I heard an old preacher say one time, "The test of those who love God most are the ones at their post, when all the others have walked away."
Today...hang in there and remember what Christmas is about, "1... Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord." Luke 2: 10 - 11.

Five students driving through the desert encounter the inescapable stench of death in director David Payne's retro-inspired slasher/monster/supernatural horror hybrid. The highway has been inexplicably closed, forcing five young travelers into a mysteriously abandoned travel oasis where they are soon confronted with disturbing visions of maimed travelers.
Disturbed by the grisly series of visions and determined to escape the spooky motel and diner before whatever killed the previous customers returns, the frightened travelers soon meet a frantic stranger who claims to have recently lost his wife to a terrifying entity that seems to hover between life and death.
As the night falls, a blind grad student with heightened senses proves the only hope for survival as the body count begins to rise and the smell of death becomes too suffocating to endure.

During the past few weeks the second floor of BCAM has been undergoing the installation of the exhibition Human Nature: Contemporary Art from the Collection, opening this Sunday (and on view now for members).
The exhibition takes its name from Bruce Nauman's neon art piece Human Nature/Life Death/Know Doesn't Know, which is included in the show. A major effort on the part of our conservators, art installers and electrician has made it possible to put this large neon puzzle back on view after a hiatus of about ten years. Here's how they did it:
A diagram of the complicated combination of words was drawn to serve as a guide for installation. The bottom layer of words is placed in a circular pattern, the middle layer forms an X, and the top layer is a Y configuration.
Conservators Don Menveg and Natasha Cochran (pictured) cleaned, maintained, and tested each one of the neon tubes that are the words which comprise this elaborate piece.
Posts made of glass will support the delicate neon tubes.
An instrumental part of the installation was the involvement of our very experienced electrician Roosevelt Simpson, who installed twenty-three transformers and tweaked the timer box that controls the cycling in which the words are lit in their original sequential cycle.
The first layer of words is installed.
Installing the top layer of words.
Testing to be sure the tubes light up and the cycles run correctly.

Order abortion pills at firstname.lastname@example.com or 0724618776 for pregnancy termination abortion pills
Most women can carry on their usual lives at home or work after taking abortion pill, but may have some bleeding and period-like pains.
The second medication i makes the uterus contract, expelling the pregnancy similar to a miscarriage.
What happens after taking abortion pills
You'll experience bleeding and some cramping. It's very important you use pads and not tampons to avoid infection. You'll be advised to take pain relief in the form of Paracetamol and/or Ibuprofen. Please do not take Aspirin.
The cramps may become strong – this is a normal part of the abortion process. Bleeding may get heavier and you may pass clots. This is usually at the time you begin to lose your pregnancy. Often the pregnancy is passed into the toilet. You may not see it specifically, and it may appear as a clot.
Side effects of the medication may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and shivering. Once the pregnancy has been passed, your bleeding will usually lessen and become like a slightly heavier period. It may continue to be quite heavy for a day or two as the uterus needs to contract and return to its normal size.
Most women pass the pregnancy within 4 or 5 hours after taking the misoprostol. For others it can be quicker or take longer.
Pregnancy termination
Our pregnancy termination pills are effective 100% of the time
After a pregnancy termination procedure you may experience slight nausea, vomiting & light bleeding which is normal during an abortion process

What was once the grassy underbelly of Universal CityWalk is now Hollywood Drive-In Golf, two 18-hole courses of miniature golf themed to classic movie genres.
It's a good fit for the recurring cinematic theme of Universal Orlando, although it's a snug fit on the hill beneath the moving sidewalk that connects CityWalk with Universal's mega-garage. The courses are bordered by the Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. restaurant, the movie theater and Universal Boulevard.
The courses, designed by Universal's Creative team in partnership with Adventure Golf Design and Development, are thoroughly themed and imaginative — but not revolutionary. The holes offer typical miniature-golf challenges built into a drive-in movie setting.
The courses are called Invaders From Planet Putt, which sports a sci-fi theme, and the horror-driven Haunting of Ghostly Greens, which actually has purple greens.
There's a discount for choosing a "double feature" — a ticket for both sides. Note that you don't have to play the courses back-to-back. Keep the double-feature receipt and play the second course another day. (There's also a 10 percent discount for Florida residents or Universal Orlando annual passholders.)
We started with Planet Putt, which is populated by little green men, flying saucers and other Area 51 ilk. Even the cow on the course looks plenty spooked.
Adding to the spookiness was the darkness — so dark it was difficult to see how to write our scores down on the card. On an early hole, my friend Greg's ball took flight and left the course, dropping into the new landscaping or the drainage. We could not spot the ball, even though it was neon orange.
Planet Putt was overloaded with ups and downs, with many stairs and multilevel challenges, including the uphill battles that mean if the ball doesn't make it into the hole, it rolls back to your feet — the usual miniature-golf madness.
After passing a giant robot and playing through a flying saucer, there was a very trippy hole with a lighting effect and funky pattern on the green to distract us. The 18th hole requires players to walk into the mouth of a purple space worm. It features a red spongy "tongue" that reminded us of Krusty's mouth at the entrance of the Simpsons Ride at Universal Studios.
The Haunting of Ghostly Greens is a journey through monstrous environments, including beneath a spider and through a pet cemetery, a wry nod to Stephen King. The soundtrack had us playing "Name that Tune" with an array of quasi-frightening pop songs such as "Thriller" and "Monster Mash."
Signs indicate each hole's name with a bit of prose. One challenge on the Ghostly side was "Jaunty Python," which rewards golfers who can successfully and forcibly putt into the reptile's mouth. The ball then snakes around through its twisted body and usually ends with a hole-in-one.
Number 13, aka "Round of Golf," features a tall, curved hedge that obscures the hole and causes a backup of waiting players.
Ghostly Greens concludes with a "Ballatory" scene inside the haunted house, which sends balls through a mad scientist's lab and a series of contraptions before landing near the hole.
Unless you're a teen or a teen-at-heart, 36 holes is a lot of miniature golf. I suggest buying the double feature but splitting the playing time into two parts. The window is wide open for you: Hollywood Drive-In operates from 8 a.m. to 2 a.m. daily.
I've heard of "Breakfast at Wimbledon" — but "Waffles at CityWalk"? Why not?

Central Kerala
Earth : Asia : South Asia : India : Southern India : Kerala : Central Kerala
Central Kerala covers 3 districts located middle of Kerala state. Central Kerala was part of erstwhile Kingdom of Kochi. Today its one of the most leading economic powerhouse of Kerala with several industries and trading firms located. The 3 districts that form Central Kerala are Ernakulam, Thrissur and Palakkad. The most important city in this region is Kochi (commercial capital of Kerala) which is a major gateway to Kerala.
Major towns
Other destinations
Central Kerala was once cradle of Imperial Chera civilization established in 300 BC with the Great Cheras establishing their capital at Muziris (today's Kodungallur- 40 kms from Kochi). At height of Chera glory, they established an empire reaching till Ganges in North India. Chera's capital city- Muziris (as known in Greek literature) was one of the largest seaports in Ancient world with regular trading with Greeks, Roman, Mesopotamian and Chinese civilizations. With the decline of Chera powers by mid 11th century, choking of Muziris port due to Great floods of Periyar, the Central Kerala turned into boiling pot of various social and political turmoils. The Chera Dynasty was replaced by Kochi Kingdom with its capital at newly formed Kochi City which has covers the entire Central Kerala. The trading relations with West and Arabs helped Europeans to come into Kochi and formed a major political power in Kerala. By 18th century, British dominated the political power, as elsewhere in India.
British influence over Kochi Kingdom brought several strong British institutions to this area. When Kochi Kingdom merged with India in 1949, this area came under new state of Thiru-Kochi (Travancore-Kochi). The area was renamed as a zone when Kerala State was formed in 1957.
Today its a major economic center with several industries located here. Along with this, Central Kerala is famous for its varied cultural potpourri, several famed festivals, tourists places and agricultural areas.
As elsewhere, Malayalam is the native language. 3 dialects of Malayalam language is spoken here. While in Kochi one can feel the strong influence of Portuguese and Dutch language in local dialects, its more of Sanskritic Malayalam spoken in Thrissur area with lot of poetic expressions. Whereas being bordering with Tamil Nadu, the Malayalam spoken in Palakkad has lot of Tamil influence.
Tamil is widely understood and spoken in Palakkad, whereas English and Hindi is popular in Kochi and Thrissur. Arabic also understood in few pockets of Thrissur where Muslims are in majority like Chavakkad etc.
Get in
By Air
By Train
Most of the trains bound to Kerala have various stops in many places in Central Kerala. Major stations are
By Road
National Highway 47, 17 passes through this stretch
Get around
Due to its strong trade relations, central Kerala's cuisine is a blend of many influences, particularly English, Portuguese, Chinese, and Japanese. Seafood is very popular, as well as freshwater fish from Kerala's rivers and backwaters. Prawn and squid are considered essential for most celebrations and festive occasions. Vegetarian entrees are also widely available, though the emphasis remains on seafood.

Colorado officials say health care reform has given them the power to curb insurance rate hikes.
Those curbs helped the state block a 24 percent increase request by Cigna.
According to the Denver Post Cigna wanted to raise rates for individual health policies in 2013 by 31 percent in several mountain counties in a way the state says isn't justified.
Colorado changed a law that allowed insurers to raise rates and get permission later, and the federal Affordable Care Act of 2010 now requires a review of hikes of more than 10 percent a year.
Cigna covers about 21,000 people in Colorado, and says it needed the increase because hospital costs in Pitkin, Routt, Eagle and Garfield counties are 28 percent higher than the rest of rural Colorado

e-volve needed a new web page design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 56 designs submitted by 17 freelance designers.
Imagine shopping from all of your local food shops on one website. Then imagine everything you'd bought turning up the very next day. Sounds like a dream? You bet! Now imagine that this service can't exist because we can't get a good web design. This is a sad reality we're faced with. HighStreetUnited.co.uk needs you - don't let us down!
High Street United
We would like a layout for our website that sells indiviudal local retailers' products and then delivers them to our customers the very next day.HOW IT WORKS
e.g. joe the butcher adds his burgers to his shop section on our site, harry the fish-monger adds some prawns and tom the baker adds his loaf of bread etc etc. Along comes mary who goes on to http://www.highstreetunited.co.uk and buys joe's burgers, harry's prawns but not tom's bread - she's gluten intolerant you see. We compile mary's order along with 100's of others and the next day we take a trip to harry and joe's shops, pick up the ordered products and deliver them all to mary at her pre-selected time.
GENERAL PAGE LAYOUTWe're going to have loads of different pages on the site e.g. a page all about the shops in one particular town, a page showing all of the products available from one particular shop etc etc - we don't need anything specific at this stage but we do need a general template to fit all of this juicy content into.
We were thinking of a three column template with a tab structure sitting above it. We will also need breadcrumb navigation.
- Top Tab Nav Sections: - Shop (active),
- My Account,
- Community- Left Hand Nav: Search By: - Region- Town
- Shop Type- Butchers
- Bakers
- Fish-mongers
- etc
- Product Type- Meat
- Dairy
- Fish
- etc- Right Hand Nav - Likely to be image based and include a shopping cart link.RESOURCES
- our logo is here: http://www.highstreetunited.co.uk
- We need a site that looks friendly and local but also professional and face-less (tricky - but google seem to have managed it) -
- For inspiration we like Google Adword's easy to use layout - even though there is wagon-loads of info it feels easy
- We like the way amazon's left hand navigation is streamline and expandable without taking up loads of space - but don't blatently rip it off cos we don't really love its aesthtics - just the way it works
- We like http://www.sainsburys.co.uk way of being both professional and friendly - but these guys are our competition in a way - so don't blatently rip off
- anything too cluttered.

Outgoing Fianna Fail TD for Cork, Ned O'Keefe, has warned of a "real possibility" of a military coup in Ireland, just like those seen in recent weeks across the Arab world.
Speaking to the Evening Echo, O'Keefe said "The situation has become so bad that an Army coup is a real possibility."
O'Keeffe said he blames the Taoiseach Brian Cowen and former Minister for Finance Brian Lenihan for hastening the possibility of a military takeover.
The TD said ""Our political system is going to fail further. The two Brians have made a right mess of the country and I see the real possibility of an army coup. People thought I was mad with all the things I have predicted through the years, but I foresaw the economy collapsing due to lax regulation on building housing estates and unwanted shopping centers."
Fianna Fail has ruled out a military coup by Ireland's army. Micheal Martin dismissed the suggestion that their polices were so bad that Ireland descend into Egyptian-style instability.
When asked about O'Keefe's comments, or what might be going on at O'Keeffe's constituency's army base Martin said "I do not know what is happening in Kilworth but I don't see any challenges there. We've a great democracy in this country and I think this campaign bears that out."
O'Keeffe said that the heroes of Ireland, including Charles J. Haughey, would be turning in their graves to see how low Ireland has sunk.
He added "So what if Charlie liked nice women and a few extra nice shirts? He was the best leader we ever had."
O'Keeffe will not be running in this election however his son Kevin O'Keeffe is a candidate for the Cork East constituency. He told the Cork Independent that he was shocked by the comments but that his father was his own man.
He said "I'm canvassing now and have no idea what he said…I'll leave him to his own. I'm shocked. He can shoot away."

MACON, Ga. (Jan. 4, 2011) - After dropping two of its first three games on this five-game road swing, the ETSU women's basketball team will look to close things out on a positive note when the Lady Bucs tangle with Kennesaw State Wednesday evening. Tip time is slated for 5 p.m. inside the KSU Convocation Center.
ETSU (5-7, 2-1 A-Sun) is coming off an 83-68 victory over Mercer Monday night. Tara Davis (Murfreesboro, Tenn.), Destiny Mitchell (Bluffton, Ga.) and Natalie Pickwell (Kingsport, Tenn.) totaled 76 percent of the Lady Bucs' offense as Davis led the way with a team-high 23 points. Meanwhile, Mitchell recorded her second straight double-double (fourth career) after finishing with 22 points and 12 rebounds, and Pickwell netted 18. As a team, the Lady Bucs out-rebounded the Bears 57 to 25, while pulling down 26 on the offensive end. Joining Mitchell with double figure rebounds was red-shirt senior Latisha Belcher (Martinsville, Va.) as she recorded seven points and 11 boards.
Kennesaw State (3-8, 0-3 A-Sun) suffered a 75-67 loss against USC Upstate on Monday night. The Owls were led by junior guard Angie Smith's 18 points, while fellow junior Tamasha Bolden added 11 points and 10 rebounds. Kennesaw State finished with 22 steals and made USC Upstate turn the ball over 34 times; however, the Owls only scored 20 points off those miscues.
Overall, ETSU has won all nine games in this series, including an 81-63 victory in the last meeting back on Feb. 13, 2010 in Johnson City.
Fans unable to make the trip to Kennesaw can listen to all the action live on WXSM-AM 640 The Sports Monster as Voice of the Bucs Jay Sandos will carry the play-by-play. Also, live video streaming will be available on A-Sun.TV, while live stats will be displayed on KSUOwls.com.

JOE GANDELMAN:Is American politics like talking to an empty chair?
When President Dwight D. Eisenhower presented Raymond G. "Jerry" Murphy with a Medal of Honor in 1953, he noted that Pueblo nicknamed "the Steel City," has had several Medal of Honor recipients and wondered: "What is it... something in the water out there in Pueblo? All you guys turn out to be heroes!"
And so the city and the Congressional Record dubbed Pueblo "Home of Heroes" due to its having more recipients per capita than any other city in the United States. In our political world, oh, boy, do we need the City of Pueblo to produce some now.
When you look at today's mega partisanship, both parties dabbling in the politics of division, differing partisan worldviews of reality and a debate over whether stating actual facts matter, you have to wonder if there's something in America's water these days. Whatever it is, it's a form of Kool-Aid more people are now swallowing than rejecting.
You have to wonder as American hurtles further into the 21st century if the next President or any future President will be given leeway by the other side to put their policies in place and govern. Are the once-respected concepts of consensus and compromise totally dead? Is there an American political hero waiting to emerge who can lift America from its D-R and MSNBC- Fox News divides, and reverse the current trend where American political debate has now devolved into snarky talk show-like personal riffs, in-your-face confrontations by people seemingly acting out personal issues, and silly juvenile publicity stunts?
Two recent events were symbolic of where America's political culture now stands.
The first was actor Clint Eastwood's absurd riff with an empty chair at the Republican convention as he was about to introduce GOP Presidential nominee Mitt Romney. NBC's First Read called it "the Eastwood debacle." Democrats and many Republican analysts and operatives quoted in news stories agreed. Eastwood's monologue shoved the excellent Romney biography out of the sole 10 p.m. hour the networks devoted to the convention that night and the next day sucked up discussion time that should have been devoted to Romney's speech.
Even so, some GOPers began insisting it was a political masterstroke. Eastwood's appearance was wonderful, they said, it'd help Romney win the election. On Monday, conservative websites, egged on by a BIG HEADLINE on the Drudge Report, even declared Labor Day "Empty Chair Day."
In political terms, it might more accurately have been called Empty Head Day. Polls in North Carolina and Florida found voters did NOT like Eastwood's riff, but still respected Eastwood, which is why some believe Eastwood may campaign for Romney. Empty Chair Day was thinly disguised name-calling. Precisely how many independent voters, unhappy Democrats and non-Tea Party Republicans was calling Obama an empty chair likely to win over? (Zilch.)
Another insight into our political culture came when MSNBC's Chris Matthews got into what was reportedly a loud confrontation with delegates to the Republican National Convention in a Tampa restaurant. They taunted Matthews, who chose to go over and confront them and it got verbally ugly. It was an insight into our new political soul: delegates were quick to move into personal, in-your-face-verbal mode and Matthews -- rather than just moving on -- decided to jump into the political trenches to confront them.
On so many media and political levels American politics is now all about name-calling and in-your-face confrontation. Problem solving and serious discussion is secondary as the key driving force is a 24/7 need to restate and reaffirm existing beliefs, even if they're not accurate. It's all about getting to attain that nirvana moment when your own political sports team can give high fives in victory and gleefully, slowly, and deliberately rub the other losing side's face in it.
Will America find a political hero who can help reverse the tide on the ugliness and stalemate being cooked into our political system? Or will he or she find it's like talking to an empty chair?

Post subject: different?
Subject description: what is different?
Sorry, i see no differences.
As i see it is the same puplet, same issues, same base.
Different: I repaired a lot bugs, made modified and own themes, iconsets, gtk theming, volume icon, winetricks + dependecies (graphical winetricks requires), wallpapers, not only xp themes, Vista and seven themes also included and software for everyday use like winxp i used to:
VLC, MSN, Skype, DoubleCommander, Midnight Commander, some modification in defaults and integration, new web browser instead of originally included...etc...etc...
This puplet seems a light modification of my puplet but my project is for beginners for everyday use.
A puplet for beginners and for me to install low cost machines for friends and colleges...
Creating a puplet mean i know issues, programs and i can write descriptions about, u wrote nothing just put something here...
Seems strange...
As i see, u have downloaded this puplet and said, i made this...
What changes u made?
Programs and versions?
Repos and links?
What modification u did?
MIME types?
Why choose Lucid, and old puppy not wary, racy, slacko or precise or fatpup?
U wrote nothing, there is no description...

i guess someone with broadband, a few hours etc could say if there is a great difference or not.
Anyhow i like the Puppy 5.2.8.005 and would like to see any kind of improvements on that specific Lupu or Lucid(i am confused)
If it turns out to be two different variants of the same, it would be nice to see both XP specialists join hands and make one version with the best of both.
That said... I am for peace, love and unity...

nepo384 says his pup is based on 5.2.8-005
5.2.8-005 was released in April 2012
s-kami says his pup was released in Sep 2011 so it cannot be 5.2.8-005
This post defines what was introduced new into 5.2.8-005
It should be a simple matter to check some of the versions of software mentioned to see if nepo384's pup is based on 005 and therefore different from s-kami's pup.

Lupu is an abbreviation of Lucid Puppy and are interchangeable. Lucid by itself used outside this forum would probably be taken as Lucid Ubuntu!

Good idea, thanks ICPUG.
Hey, s-kami, would you like to demonstrate us how bad guy am I? Don't "forget" to mention what I've been stolen from you.

I followed my own advice and checked LucidXP for versions of Radky's files within. They concur with the versions that were added to Lupu 5.2.8-005 so I guess Nepo384 has created a different pup from s-kami albeit with a similar idea.
I noticed another disappearance after multiple booting. The intial boot showed an icon for fsviewer on the desktop. After I rebooted and had a play with the PStart button I noticed the fsviewer icon had disappeared!
Another minor item - the Business menu shows a label of Excel but it actually starts Gnumeric. This may have been deliberate but not good form as Excel is probably a trademark for the program of the same name. If you don't want a menu item of Gnumeric (because it has little meaning to a newbie) I would suggest Spreadsheet not Excel.
I do have some other issues that I did not get with the 5.2.8-005, such as muted sound and not choosing the Intel driver for my graphics but these are no doubt correctable by me somehow.
Not sure why the taskbar has to be at the top of the screen when it is at the bottom, by default, in Windows XP. I can probably do that myself as well - just never had to in the past.
A lot of other things are just personal choices and, of course, s-kami and nepo384 have different ideas as to the apps to include.
I personally am disappointed to see puphelp101 disappear from this 5.2.8-005 derivative cos that was a real innovation and, personally, I would like to see puphelp101 expanded and become a default help file.
One thing I do like from the Hungarian pup is the use of the Portable Apps menu rather than the bland PStart Window in LucidXP. I like to give credit where it is due and Portable Apps deserves a lot of thanks.
Hope you two can kiss and make up now, quit insulting each other and just get the bugs out.
Good idea - good pups.

I hope to see a cooperation here where these two great developers get together and just make a killer XP Puppy that is the missing link between XP/Win7/Win8 and Puppy.
To draw new users to this great Puppy world based on a familiar interface as we see is pretty neat already:-)

I have been away for 10 days, and thankfully missed the inane comments and protestations of the OP.
I used your 431 version for a while back then, but I didn't know that you had done a 528 version.
I am now using your 528, and very happy with it.
All I have changed is Firefox to v18.
WINE is very fast, and everything works great.
I would like to see more English versions of your stuff.
There's no place like 127.0.0.1

sevenpuppy from Hongrie running in my computer. What would be fun, give your Windows 7 a Puppy Linux desktop, a nice one.
I search for the topic Puppy 007, which is a Lupu 511... Xp does not please me, my boss kept his employees equipped with XP a long time after Windows 7 was released. Change the OS is very expensive.
With Puppy, windows 7 is free of charge
is there a topic about Seven ?

Five years ago I wrote an op-ed column for The Times about Pope Benedict XVI's partiality for ornate vestments and miters (the double-pointed hats sported not only by the pope but also by other bishops in the Roman Catholic and Anglican churches). That article, which a clever copy editor titled "Dress Code," is looking more and more like a period piece after the inaugural Mass of Benedict's successor, Pope Francis.
In what must have been a disappointment to Msgr Guido Marini, the papal "master of ceremonies" who outfitted Benedict in skyscraper jeweled miters and elaborately embroidered chasubles, Francis dressed down at a ceremony that was a far cry from the formality of Benedict's inaugural Mass, let alone the coronations with which popes began their pontificate before Pope John Paul I junked the tiara in 1978.
The pope wore a miter, but it seems to be the same unadorned model he used in Argentina. (My guess is that the new archbishop of Canterbury, an Evangelical Anglican who will be enthroned this week, will wear a more ornate miter than Francis'.) The pope's chasuble, the poncho-like vestment used by priests celebrating Mass, was similarly simple – less elaborately decorated, in fact, than the one worn by cardinals in attendance. And it followed the "Gothic" style popular after the second Vatican Council (and also employed by some Protestant churches), not the stiff "Roman" style Benedict revived.

The movement of people from one country to another, which is one of the principal characteristics of globalization, has been an inescapable part of the Irish consciousness for more than a century and a half. "No custom has been more native to the country than getting out of it," wrote the critic Terry Eagleton of Ireland's sad history of emigration, in which her greatest export was her sons and daughters. An unexpected chapter of that story is now being written after the demise of the Celtic Tiger. Three plays with exile as the theme, written by the contemporary dramatist Tom Murphy, have recently been staged as DruidMurphy in London and New York City and will be performed at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C., from Oct. 17 to 20.
Each play in this extraordinary production by the Druid Theatre Company of Galway, Ireland, deals with exile in one of the aspects familiar to every emigrant, Irish or not. First there is the story of those who leave the old country and of those who stay behind. "Famine," set in 1846–47, shows the Great Hunger that sparked one of the largest mass migrations of the modern era, as the landowners try to entice the starving peasants to leave their homes for Canada, about which they know nothing (one character wonders whether it will be hot or cold there). Next, in "A Whistle in the Dark," we see the reality of the new country: in Coventry, England, in 1960 the Irish run wild, freed from the constraints of home and church, and fight Pakistanis for the next-to-lowest rung on the ladder. Finally we see the return to the old country and how every exile carries the homeland in his or her imagination. In "Conversations on a Homecoming," a man revisits his hometown to find that his contemporaries no longer share the idealism that had once animated them. He, of course, has been able to preserve—and embroider—the memory in New York. "Why is everyone calling me a romantic?" he asks. The withering reply from one of his pals, "It's more polite."
It is hard to believe anyone has ever called Tom Murphy a romantic. That is likely one reason why he is far less familiar to theatergoers than his contemporary Brian Friel or younger playwrights like Martin McDonagh and Conor McPherson. The lyricism that audiences (rightly or wrongly) expect in Irish drama even in the midst of violence is hard to discern in Murphy, who writes raw, naturalistic dialogue spoken by characters who rarely if ever break free of their constraints. Yet there is poetry in these plays—or better yet, music.
Despite Ireland's reputation as a nation of raconteurs ("We Irishmen have done nothing," said Oscar Wilde, "but we are the greatest talkers since the time of the Greeks"), Murphy portrays people who find it hard to speak about their own lives, so he strives to give them a rhythm of speech that "can make the inarticulate sing with feeling." A character will repeat a phrase over and over like a musical motif, often in place of what he cannot, or dares not, express. The abusive father in "Whistle," for example, cannot admit how he has brutalized his sons: "Boys…Ye're not blaming me…Made men of ye…I tried, I did my best…I tried, I did my best…Tried…Did my best…I tried…."
In these plays, which were written years apart and not intended to be a trilogy, there is also a more universal theme than emigration. Murphy asks us to consider what happens when people become mired in ideas or sets of values that no longer answer the realities of their lives.
In "Famine," John Connor, the village elder, cannot leave or take any other decisive step because, though now landless, the Connors were long ago chieftains here. In "Whistle," Dada Carney brings a pre-modern blood feud from the west of Ireland to industrial England. When the eldest son asks what they will gain by beating up the rival clan in a pub brawl, he shows he belongs to the commercial world of gain and loss, that he is not a man of honor. And in "Conversations," set in the late 1970s, Michael, just returned from America, harks back to the Camelot era and wants to carry on the vision of their own local J.F.K., a once-charismatic figure whom everybody in town now knows to be a drunken fraud. In each case, the disparity between what people believe and the circumstances in which they find themselves leads to violence, actual (in "Famine" and "Whistle") or verbal ("Conversations"). But there is also hope in the struggle of at least some of the characters to find a hard-won reconciliation.
Murphy has had a longstanding relationship with Druid and its director, Garry Hynes, and, as with her 2006 production of "The Playboy of the Western World" by J. M. Synge, she more than does justice to the playwright. As with every Druid production I have seen, the performances are uniformly excellent, though I cannot help but single out two actors: Niall Buggy, whose Dada Carney is not a swaggering tough guy but a prissy little martinet; and Aaron Monaghan, astonishing in each of the works as a blowhard entrepreneur, a vicious thug and a crippled scapegoat. (I saw the plays at London's Hampstead Theatre in June, but the production and cast at the Kennedy Center will be exactly the same.) To see these plays—especially all in one day—is to be shaken up, and not by their violence alone. (In "Whistle," there is a debate about the relative merits of fists, chains and broken bottles in a fight—and we then get to see the results.)
These works are unsettling, but at the same time they give us "the celebration of being alive" that Murphy sees as the reason we go to the theater. Asked recently about the nature of his work, he said: "If you manage to get human nature at work, human nature is constant. Human nature will always, always be greedy; human nature will fall in love, will hate, will aspire, will emigrate." Murphy manages to capture all these things at work in their brokenness and in their beauty.
If productions are half as good as this review, I want to see (and hear) them.Review has vitality, vocabuulary, and insight into audience psychology.

A. Harold Sparks, 91, a resident of Park Centre Retirement Community, Newton, died May 13, 2013, in the Park Centre Care Center.
Albert Harold Sparks, the son of Oral Asbury and Alice Evelyn (Mace) Sparks, was born Oct. 7, 1921, in Des Moines. In 1922, he moved with his parents to their farm south of Clio, in Wayne County where he lived until 1936 when he moved with his family to Des Moines. After a brief return to Clio in 1937, he graduated from North High School in Des Moines in 1938. Over the next two years, he worked for Western Union Telegraph Company and the A & P Tea Company, both in Des Moines.
He committed his life to Christ and joined the Epworth United Methodist Church in Des Moines in 1939. In September 1940, he enrolled in Simpson College, in Indianola, from which he graduated in June 1944. During his final two years in college, he served as a student minister in United Methodist churches in Marion County.
In July 1944, he enrolled in Garrett Evangelical Theological Seminary in Evanston, Ill. He married Elizabeth Hannah Cramer on Sept. 3, 1944, at Indianola, after which he and his bride lived in Evanston, Ill. for three years while Harold attended seminary, majoring in Christian education, and graduating in June 1947.
He received Deacon's Orders on June 15, 1947, toward becoming a United Methodist minister, and Elder's Orders on June 27, 1948. He became a full member of the North Iowa Conference of the United Methodist Church on June 27, 1948, and served as a United Methodist pastor over a span of 41 years of ministry in Iowa.
He served as a Minister of Christian Education for two years at First United Methodist Church, Waterloo, and as a pastor at Jesup, Lime Springs/Chester, Waterloo (St. Paul's)/Mt. Hope, Grundy Center, Sioux City (Crescent Park), Wellman and Williamsburg, retiring on June 9, 1985.
In retirement Harold lived in Newton, including nearly 21 years at Park Centre. During his retirement years, Harold immersed himself in various passions, including photography, learning to use a computer, reading and writing. He completed two books, "Speculations on Eternity," and his life story, "Can Dreams Come True?" He was also a life-long poet. Most of his work is hosted on a website, 7decadespoetry.com. Some of his work was published in Lyrical Iowa, an annual compilation of poems by Iowa poets.
Surviving are two sons and their wives, David (Jill Helm) of Sioux City and Steven (Michelle) of Verona, Wis.; five grandchildren, Amy (Nick) Revak of Woodbury, Minn., Jonathan (Carol) Sparks of St. Jacob, Ill., Amber (Chris Backley) Sparks of Washington, D.C., Shane (Susanna) Sparks of St. Paul, Minn., and Kira Sparks and fiancé Johnny Fuchs of Madison, Wis.; and five great-grandchildren, Hannah, 7, and Jaden, 3, of St. Jacob, Ill., Elizabeth, 3, and John, 2, of Woodbury, Minn., and Finley, 1, of St. Paul, Minn. He was preceded in death by his wife, Beth; a sister, Melva Bidlack of Ann Arbor, Mich.; a brother, Gerald of Bartlesville, Okla.; and his parents.
A funeral service will be at 2 p.m. Sunday, May 19 at the First United Methodist Church in Newton. The family will greet friends following the service during a coffeetime at the church. In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorial gifts to the Park Centre Good Samaritan Fund or to First United Methodist Church Memorial Fund, Newton. Pence-Reese Funeral Home has been entrusted with the arrangements.

Becoming a geologist was not the original aspiration for Mian Liu, Professor of Geological Sciences. The Chinese government assigned him to the discipline when he was 17 years old, a course of study he later followed at Nanjing University. His initial lack of interest in geology had much to do with the way the subject was taught. "The focus was not on understanding the processes; we were forced to memorize lots of facts," he explains. Instead, Liu's earliest interest was in physics, which "just seemed more intuitive." He began sitting in on a variety of lectures and found that he preferred learning about geophysics, the physics of the Earth, eventually earning a Ph.D. in that area from the University of Arizona.
Liu is a part of a collaborative pilot study with colleagues at MU and partners in China, trying to understand why intraplate earthquakes happen so frequently in northern China. Their research involves installing seismometers to image the Earth's structure, using GPS to monitor crustal motion, and conducting computer simulations in order to understand how earthquakes occur.

2013 Income and Expenses: How Do You Compare To USDA's National Summary?Tweet
While good crop yields will help boost your income for 2013, lower prices will keep them in storage. As a result, USDA's Economics Research Service (ERS) says farm cash income will be down some 3% from last year when there were more harvest time sales of grain than this year. Nationally, 2013 net farm income will be $131 billion, up 15% from 2012. Net cash income for 2013 will be $129.7 billion, down 3.4% from last year. Since ERS expects delayed marketing, crop cash receipts will be down 3% in 2013. Additionally, livestock receipts that are nearly 6% higher than last year will not be sufficient to offset higher production expenses and the lower crop income. There are many more details in USDA's financial picture for 2013.
Net cash income is typically higher than net farm income. For the past decade net farm income being more than net cash income has only happened on one prior occasion in 2004. At that time crop marketing was delayed, and with high production expenses, net cash income fell below net farm income.
Drought recovery in 2013 has been the primary economic dynamic with higher income levels for corn, beans, milk, and poultry. The only downside to the larger crops and subsequent lower prices is the fact that more will go into storage compared to historical marketing patterns. USDA's forecast for farm financial trends indicates that cash receipts for corn this year will decline significantly, but there will be a large increase in the year-end inventory offsetting any decline in income from the crop. In fact, there will be a higher value of production for corn. USDA says domestic and foreign use of US corn will increase, as will ethanol production compared to 2012.
Soybean income will decline slightly, but higher yields and production will mean increases in the value of the stored soybean crop and the value of soybean production. There will be higher domestic and foreign use of the 2013 soybean crop.
Wheat income and value of production will decline in 2013, compared to 2012. That reflects reduced acres, a reduced crop size, lower prices, and smaller domestic use. There will be a slight increase in wheat exports for 2013, compared to last year.
Livestock, dairy, and poultry receipts for 2013 will be up, helped by larger gains in broilers, milk, and hogs. The higher hog forecast results from an increase in domestic and foreign sales at higher prices than in 2012.
While income is up, so are production expenses—by some 3% from last year, keeping alive the trend of year to year increases since 2002. However, the increase is less than half of the increase seen in 2011 and 2012. The increase will only be 2.4%, compared to 6% last year. Production expenses will be at a record high of $352 billion.
A significant part of the higher production expense is due to the 12% increase in the cost of marketing, storage, and transportation of the larger volume of crop production. That more than offsets a large decrease in fertilizer costs and smaller decreases in expenses for fuel, interest, and capital consumption.
Feed expenses which rose significantly in 2012 will see less than a 2% increase for 2013. USDA says, "Feed prices were slightly below December 2012 levels through the first 8 months of 2013 and are projected to decline through the 4th quarter of 2013 due to lower corn and soybean prices."
For crop production, 2013 provided a 1.4% drop in the overall cost of production. While seed and pesticide costs were up slightly, fuel and fertilizer prices were down. USDA says, "Fertilizer prices were down only slightly from 2012 through mid-2013 when most fertilizer was purchased. Since then, prices have declined sharply."
In the stakeholder category, labor expenses went up 11% in 2013, pushing labor cots up more than 32% over the past 2 years. Some of it was due to more labor being needed for larger crop production in 2013. Cash rents to land owners went up 6.6% in 2013. And interest expenses paid to lenders was up 3% in 2013.
Interestingly, the USDA's 2013 forecast for net farm income is nearly 8% more than what USDA forecast in August. That results from a forecast of higher net cash income by some $8.9 billion. That was the result of price gains in some crops and a higher estimate of the volume of crops that would be stored as opposed to marketed. The change also reflected a higher value of livestock products and a reduction in the estimate of production expenses due to lower fertilizer prices.
2013 brought a different financial picture to agriculture, compared to 2012, primarily due to more crop production. Although crop production was larger, more will be stored, throwing net cash income from 2013 into 2014. The lower crop prices helped reduce feed costs for livestock, and with lower fertilizer prices, production expenses did not rise as much as expected. The result is higher net farm income in 2013, but because of the delays in grain marketing, the cash income will not be realized, and net cash income will drop below net farm income, which is atypical.

The SSETI Express, a satellite designed and built by 100 students from 10 universities in Europe will launch from Russia on Thursday. The satellite is equipped with a camera that will take images of the Earth. Although the satellite is mainly a demonstration, the European Space Agency, which funded the project, sees this launch as the first step for the Student Space Exploration and Technology Initiative (SSETI) which will train European students in space science and remote sensing.
Another satellite that is launching with the SSETI Express is China's Beijing-1 microsatellite, which is carrying the China Mapping Telescope. Its mission is to provide high-resolution imagery for mapping Chinese territory.

No Title

For too long, mothers with careers had to battle workplace stigmas about their commitment level. Not anymore, according to a recent survey from Care.com. While the survey doesn't specifically address women working in IT, the themes are universal. It seems CIOs and other managers are recognizing that women are clearly comfortable with -- and skilled at -- balancing parental duties with job responsibilities. Being a working mother is no longer seen as a "dealbreaker" for promotions, according to working mothers taking the survey. In many cases, they're finding themselves more productive and valuable at their companies than ever. "Working moms enjoy what they do," says Katie Bugbee, Managing Editor of Care.com. "Many feel more creative and motivated as a working-parent, and even feel they add a better perspective at their jobs now that they are moms." Unfortunately, respondents say most organizations do little to accommodate professional women with kids, with providing any kind of childcare benefits. This may place them at a competitive disadvantage, because women now hold more than half of the entry-level jobs at American blue-chip companies. Also, women will account for nearly 60 percent of total undergraduate enrollment by 2019, according to the 2011 White House Report on Women. An estimated 1,000 women took part in the Care.com research. For more about the survey, click here. Here are 10 highlights:

Computer-Based Testing Pioneer and Preeminent Organization for Academic Integrity Partner on Program to Help Institutions Protect the Integrity of Courses in Online Programs
Computer-Based Testing Pioneer and Preeminent Organization for Academic Integrity Partner on Program to Help Institutions Protect the Integrity of Courses in Online Programs
NEWTON, MA--(Marketwire - Dec 7, 2012) - Software Secure, the recognized leader and pioneer in secure, computer-based testing solutions and the International Center for Academic Integrity (ICAI) today announced that they would be partnering to develop The Trusted Seal™ -- a set of standardized criteria with which the integrity practices of online courses can be evaluated. The Trusted Seal will be awarded to online courses that meet a set of core criteria to educate, promote and protect academic integrity in the online learning environment.
"Up until now, there has been no standardized approach to evaluating the integrity of online education, so we're very excited to partner with Software Secure," said Dr. Teresa Fishman, Director of the International Center for Academic Integrity. "Together, with our experience with academic integrity issues and Software Secure's experience in secure online exam technology, we believe we can help instructors evaluate their courses and improve them in terms of security and integrity," remarked Dr. Fishman.
The Trusted Seal is a program that evaluates, with a peer-reviewed rubric, hybrid and online courses for best practices in academic integrity. Online or hybrid courses, programs, or institutions that pass three rounds of peer review by academic integrity subject matter experts will be vested with the Trusted Seal of Integrity, a symbol of excellence in those practices that safeguard academic integrity in the online environment. The ultimate goal is to provide a tool to the greater community by which online course integrity, a proxy for online course quality, can be standardized across institutions.
"We're excited to partner with the International Center for Academic Integrity -- they share our vision and have a talented and forward-thinking team," said Software Secure CEO and Founder Douglas M. Winneg. "Their capabilities combined with our technology expertise will help educational institutions be successful implementing an ICAI-vetted rubric and peer review program to certify online and hybrid courses that employ best practices to protect academic integrity," Winneg explained.
Software Secure and ICAI will be releasing more information about the Trusted Seal Program as it gets closer to the expected launch date, March 1, 2013. Interested institutions and individuals can visit http://www.softwaresecure.com/seal-program/index.html for additional details.

Jeep CJ-8 Scrambler Rock Fenders & Suspension - Project Scratch-Built ScramblerPosted in Project Vehicles on May 1, 2010
The Scratch-Built Scrambler has been a long and arduous project spanning a number of years, but sometime in the next few months we hope to have the rig out on the trail. Those of you who have built a rig from scratch or completed a frame-off restoration know just how time-consuming a project of this magnitude can be. There will always be a number of components that need to be refabricated, replaced, tweaked, and retweaked before the machine hits the road.
We weren't happy with our first choice of front fenders because they didn't have inner fenderwells. The fenders wouldn't protect the engine and components under the hood, and they looked unfinished. Since the Jeep is now being built at Overkill Engineering in Nuevo, California, owners Gabe Gile and Mark Hanson offered up their Original Rock Fenders.
While installing the fenders, we stepped back and took a good look at the Jeep and the suspension geometry, and things just didn't look right. So we took this opportunity to rework the front suspension, build coilover mounts, and lengthen the wheelbase. We are seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, and with a little luck these parts and suspension modifications will get us closer to the big test run.
