What distinguishes high-performing business-process outsourcing (BPO) relationships from run-of-the-mill arrangements? And what exactly does the journey to high performance look like?
Drawing on extensive case-study and quantitative research, the London School of Economic (LSE) has identified the "keys-to-the-kingdom" practices that contribute to high-performance in outsourcing relationships.
One of the best examples of a BPO arrangement exhibiting these key practices is the relationship between EMC and Accenture for finance and accounting (F&A) services, providing as it does a compelling illustration of a typical journey to high performance.
In 2008, EMC—a US-based multinational vendor of data-storage products and services—decided to create a global shared-services organization (Global Business Services), and sought a BPO partner to help with the enormous transformation involved.
The initial contract between EMC and Accenture was signed in 2008 for seven years.
The initial contract size, measured by full time equivalents (FTEs), was about 140 people.
Working closely with EMC, Accenture focused on 10 key practices that enabled high performance in their BPO relationship:
Seek value beyond cost reduction
Adopt a partnership-based approach
Manage change during the transition and beyond
Solve issues together; do not assign blame
Resolve conflicts fairly
Treat provider employees as part of the team
Emphasize benefits of technology
"Green" indicators on service-level performance reports are not the end game
Put a value-creation team in charge of analytics
Formally incentivize innovation
Since the original agreement was signed in 2008, Accenture has continued to evolve the arrangement, and the corresponding scope of services and locations, to align more closely with EMC's shared-services vision and strategic imperatives.
Accenture has also helped EMC meet its strategic outcomes, such as quickly integrating acquired firms by leveraging GBS offerings.
The relationship follows a typical path to high performance in BPO, with both parties learning to deploy best practices over time.
The most advanced practices—like value-creation teams to drive analytics—came later, once initial objectives had been met and the service was well established.
Another key factor in the delivery of high performance is leadership. BPO is a people business and the best practices evident in the EMC-Accenture relationship only happened because of strong leadership from both the client and the provider organization.

Wash away all your tensions and worries with Lotus Duct Cleaning Service in Herston
Improve the performance of your Heating & Cooling systems by keeping your air duct clean. Contact Lotus Air Duct Cleaning Herston today for free estimate.
Meaning of Air Conditioning Duct Cleaning
As air conditioners are extremely important part of residence as well as offices their usage is also at a very high level. Because of being highly used the ventilation system starts to get choked with contaminants like fungi, molds, bacteria and dust. Due to this contamination the quality of air starts to degrade leading to an odd smell of the circulating air.
This process of contaminated air leads to breathing problems like for those exposed to it for a long time.
Air ducts are an important component whether it is a cooling system, heating system or even the entire HVAC system. Because they are not something that we can clean ourselves on a daily basis, we often tend to ignore their maintenance by hiring air duct cleaning companies. This leads to the accumulation of dirt and dust in the ducts.
The cleaning process consists of two stages:
Outlet registers are sealed to hold dust and debris in duct work, so that the whole process of cleaning can be performed hassle free. Heating and cooling coils method for cleaning: Coils can be air / water chemically treated. Contaminated water is then removed for safe disposal.Stage 2: Contamination removal:
A negative pressure is created in each zone of the duct work using an extraction unit. The company's unique method for source removal of contamination from the supply exhaust air systems can be achieved with high pressure air washing to agitate the internal sections of duct work.

Record Description
The collection consists of an index to the population schedules listing the inhabitants of the United States in 1820. This was the fourth national census conducted since 1790. No schedules are known to exist for New Jersey. Index provided by Ancestry.com.
Record Content
The 1820 census includes the following information:
- Township, county and state where census was taken
- Name of head of household
- Number of free white males and females under age 10
- Number of free white males and females between ages 10-16
- Number of free white males and females between ages 16-26
- Number of free white males and females between ages 26-45
- Number of free white males and females over the age of 45
How to Use the Record
To begin your search it would be helpful to know:
- Your ancestor's name
- Some other identifying information such as where they lived or their age.
Search the Collection
To search the collection fill in the requested information in the boxes on the initial search page. This search will return a list of possible matches. Compare the information about the individuals in the list to what you already know about your ancestors to determine if this is the correct family or person.
You may need to look at the information on several individuals comparing the information about them to your ancestors to make this determination.
As you are searching it is helpful to know such information as your ancestor's given name and surname, some identifying information such as residence and age, and family relationships. Remember that there may be more than one person in the records with the same name as your ancestor and that your ancestor may have used nicknames or different names at different times.
Keep in mind:
- If your ancestor used an alias or a nickname, be sure to check for those alternate names.
- Even though these indexes are very accurate they may still contain inaccuracies, such as altered spellings, misinterpretations, and optical character recognition errors if the information was scanned.
For tips about searching on-line collections see the on-line video at FamilySearch Search Tips.
Using the Information
When you have located your ancestor's record, carefully evaluate each piece of information given. Save a copy of the image or transcribe the information. These pieces of information may give you new biographical details. Add this new information to your records of each family. You should also look for leads to other records about your ancestors. For example:
- Use the age categories to determine an approximate birth date range.
- Use the residence to locate other records such as land, probate, tax, and church records.

General Information About These Records
Federal census takers were asked to record information about every person who was in each household on the census day, which was the first Monday in August for 1820. A census taker might have visited a house on a later date, but the information he collected was supposed to be about the people who were in the house on the census day. The basic census enumeration unit was the county. Each county was divided into enumeration districts, one for each enumerator. The completed forms were sent to the Commerce Department's Census Office in Washington, D.C.
Federal censuses are usually reliable, depending on the knowledge of the informant and the care of the census enumerator. Information may have been given to a census taker by any member of the family or by a neighbor. Some information may have been incorrect or deliberately falsified.
Population schedules consisted of large sheets with rows and columns. The schedules were arranged by place, such as township or post office. The places were not filed in any particular order. The arrangement of families on a schedule is normally in the order in which the enumerator visited the households. The original schedules are well preserved at the National Archives in Washington, D.C. They were microfilmed in the 1950s and 1960s. The schedules for some counties in varying censuses are missing.

As time passes, more details are being learned about the tragic circumstances that unfolded in Kansas City only four days ago.
The 911 call made by Javon Belcher's mother, Cheryl Shepherd, has now been released, and the Associated Press has the details.
"She's still breathing but please hurry," Shepherd says during the request for help. "I don't know how he [inaudible], they were arguing, please hurry."
Shepherd also is heard urging Kasandra Perkins to hang on.
"Stay with me, the ambulance is on the way," Shepherd says. "Stay with me Kasandra, stay with me."
Shepherd explains during the call that Perkins was "just barely" conscious, and that Belcher had left the apartment.

- Premier League
Guardiola 'dream' alerts Chelsea and Man City
Pep Guardiola has revealed his ambition to move to the Premier League, putting a number of English clubs on notice.
Guardiola could be the most sought after manager in the summer after his season-long hiatus from football and the Spaniard insists he would relish the challenge of working in England.
Chelsea and Manchester City have appeared the frontrunners for Guardiola's signature and the 41-year-old's latest comments in a message prepared for the Football Association's 150th anniversary will add fuel to the rumours.
"As a player, I couldn't realise my dream to play there," Guardiola said. "But I hope in the future I have a challenge to be a coach or a manager there and feel the experience of all the coaches and players that have been there.
"It is unique, to play in that league. I want to feel the supporters, the environment, the media and the style of the players.
"I am still young, just 41, so I hope in the future I could train there and enjoy that. I have always found English football very fascinating. The support of the home team is amazing.
"In Italy, Latin people will support you when you are playing and when you lose, they kill you. In England, I'm always surprised people always support everything and that is nice. That's why I hope to have the challenge to train there."
Guardiola's first experience of English football was in 1992 when he featured in Barcelona's European Cup win over Sampdoria and he admits there is plenty attracting him to the Premier League.
"I had the opportunity to play two finals at Wembley and that's why my relationship with England is pretty close," he said. "I played there twice, once as a player when I was 19 and it was my first Champions League as a player, as Barcelona finally won the Champions League. It was a huge honour to play at the old Wembley.
"When I was manager of Barcelona, for our second Champions League in three years, it was a real pleasure to play in the new Wembley."

What is XSS?
What is self-XSS?
The battle
|From Stack Overflow, by Derek
- If user is considered a "first-time" user of devtools (a console history of less than 10 entries)
- and pastes javascript into an execution context (console/watches/snippets)
- Chrome detects that and throws up a confirmation prompt, something like… "You may be a victim of a scam. Executing this code is probably bad for you. [Okay] [I know what I'm doing, continue]." (This part of the proposal was modified to having a prompt which explains the danger and asks the user to type "always allow" if they still wish to continue)
|Taken from Joe's blog, with permission
("script" here is the English script used to scam users, not the actual code)
While we can never completely defeat this, some small increases in the necessary complexity for the "script" can go a long way. (This is the reason that Chrome's solution for the omnibox is still effective. It can be bypassed, but it makes the "script" more complex with the "type j and then paste" instructions)
We just have to balance the solutions with the annoyance to devs factor.
Turns out that Chrome's solution (for the console) seems to be pretty balanced. People will be shown a prompt, which they will have to read through to figure out how to enable pasting. They can't just ignore it and press the nearest "ok" button they see, which would have been the case with a normal dialog. For devs, this is a minor annoyance that lasts a few seconds. Additionally, if the dev has already used the console/scratchpad in the past, this won't come up in the first place since it is disabled after 10 entries in the scratchpad/console.
Of course, the scammer could simply ask the victim to type "allow pasting", but this has two issues. Firstly, it's now Firefox-specific, so they lose half their prospective victims. This can be fixed by making two branches of instructions for Chrome and Firefox, but that still increases complexity/suspicion. Secondly, the flow for this is rather strange anyway; most would find it strange that you have to type "allow pasting", and might be curious enough to read the popup to see why. There's also a big friendly "Scam warning" header, which can catch their attention.
I wrote the patch for Firefox, this is what the current UI looks like when you try to paste something into the console or scratchpad:
|Firefox's solution, for both the console and scratchpad
This got checked in today, and will probably reach the release channel in a few months.
Hopefully this takes a big bite out of the self-xss problem :)

Patrick Cleandenim
Photos by G.
I saw Patrick Cleandenim on March 17 and 18, 2010 when he opened for Scissor Sisters at the Bowery Ballroom. Typically, the Sisters have really wacky opening acts such as Wigs on Sticks, which was literally – wigs affixed to sticks, while 60's style doo-wop music played in the background. Patrick Cleandenim, on the other hand, was a breath of fresh air as he brought his debonair style and 80's/electro-pop/swing music to these sold out shows. That's a great mix of genres, according2g. Standing on a light box and dancing like nobody was looking, Patrick Cleandenim played a brief 5 song set that was part Bobby Darin and part Gary Numan. The setlist was:
Stage Fright
City Lights
Little Baby Party
The Show
All songs were taken from his 2nd full length album "Orange Moonbeam Floorshow." You can purchase the album here and I highly recommend it!
You can download a few free mp3s from his 2006 album "Baby Comes Home" here.
And if that is not enough, Patrick himself wrote me (and thanks for that Patrick!) to share with you a special link that has a free download of 3 new demos he's working on for an upcoming album. The tracks "Even I," "In My Baby's Eyes" and "Radio Heartbreak" can be downloaded for free for a limited time, but you have to pinky-swear-promise-me you'll buy his album! It's worth it and you know I'd never steer you wrong. If you're tired of all that radio Gaga, how about some Cleandenim?

I'm fairly sure Fanboy's annoyance list for Adblock Plus blocks that kind of junk.
I'm fine with signing in through G+ instead of YouTube, but no dislike button? It's bad enough that I have to use a third-party extension to preview ratings, removing or hiding the ability to dislike will turn YouTube into a pile of steaming crap where no one knows what videos are worth watching and which are click-bait.

Lindenwood University students will travel to Blackhurst Elementary School in St. Charles, Mo., on Friday, April 26, for Family Science Day. They will host science experiment stations that will be explored by the elementary students from 1 to 3 p.m.
"My colleague Nancy Snider and I will provide guidance to our science methods students as they work with the children at Blackhurst," said Frank Thouvenot, PhD, assistant professor and chair of elementary education at Lindenwood. "It's a wonderful opportunity for their students to have fun and learn about science while our students gain hands-on experience before they begin student teaching."
Activities will be grade-specific and will include the exploration of germ busters, making ice cream, lava lamps, magnetic painting, water Olympics, and more. Family members of Blackhurst students are also invited to attend the event.

Economic Research Institute of Erie (ERIE)The purpose of ERIE is to collect, analyze, interpret and disseminate data, information, and forecasts for the Erie, PA regional economy. Our continuing research program seeks to help the local community better understand the regional economy and its linkages to the national economy. ERIE provides a source of information for local leaders and media who have questions about the local, national and international economies. ERIE compiles data on the local economy from a wide range of sources, and helps local users access and evaluate these data.
Established in late 1982, the Institute is an applied research unit of Penn State Erie's Sam and Irene Black School of Business. We do not wish to duplicate the activities of other Erie-area organizations. Rather, we seek to use our collective training and experience in the areas of data manipulation and technical analysis to provide support to those whose expertise falls in different fields.
Another important goal of ERIE is to provide our students with relevant experience with applied economic research and data.
Our primary focus is on Erie County, Pennsylvania, but we also gather some data on the nation and the broader northwest Pennsylvania area, as well as some sub-county units. We anticipate adding data for other local counties as the site expands.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
Tensions between Israel and Turkey ratcheted up again on Sunday when Turkish Prime Minister Recep Erdogan suggested the Jews of Israel are the only genocidal group in the Middle East, while coming to the defense of wanted Sudanese President Hassan al-Bashir.
Speaking to members of his party, Erdogan insisted there is no genocide happening in Sudan's Darfur region, where over 300,000 people have been slaughtered by government-backed militias over the past six years. According to Erdogan, Bashir may have mismanaged the situation, but the international warrant for his arrest is a mistake.
"A Muslim can never commit genocide," Erdogan decalred. "It's not possible."
That is why the Turkish prime minister said he would have no problem meeting with Bashir, which he was scheduled to do this week before the Sudanese leader's trip was cancelled for fear of his arrest en route.
By contrast, Erdogan said he would have a very hard time sitting down for a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyhau. Erdogan has very publicly accused Israel of widespread war crimes and even genocidal intentions in the Gaza Strip and other Palestinian-controlled areas, severely straining relations between the two nations, which were previously regional allies.
Turkish officials have confirmed that the souring of relations between Israel and Turkey has a lot to do with Ankara's desire to strengthen ties to Iran.

The Mt Washington Valley Ice Fest will be here before you know it. Make your plans now!
I try to avoid those situations, but if I really needed help and could make a phone call, I would call friends in the area who where up for the task first. Hopefully they wouldn't be in the Andes or passed out. Shimmie, come and get meee! I'm fucked up and my femur is sticking out of my chest. Come finish me off with a rock. I would be pissed if somebody ordered a search and rescue that I specifically asked not to have, and then got billed for it.
Crazy T may remember this, but in the mid eighties, we were climbing at Dickey and I was moaning so bad on a hard slab route that a hiker on the Welch-Dickey trail above, but couldn't see me below, ran and called for a rescue. The fireman came and everything with their rubber boots and coats. They threatened us pretty good until Jay who was quite hairy and scary at the time set them straight. Still funny now.
12 guys, 12 hours, at night(OT), trucks, uniforms, equipment, and insurance. $7471.00 That's nothing! It's $50 per hour per man and $271.00 for gas. Just Sayin'Disclaimer: I don't agree with the charge, but the amount AIN'T steep. Try gettin' a plumber at night for fifty an hour
Or twelve plumbers that don't fix the leak....
Just shut the dam water off at the main and wait till morning. Freaking plumbers and electricians and there $160 an hour average all said and done. Freaking crooks. Sorry if any of you are plumbers but you really are the crooks of the trades just a fact.

Freaking crooks. Sorry if any of you are plumbers but you really are the crooks of the trades just a fact.I doubt most electricians or plumbers are getting an average $160 an hour for a normal call. That would be an emergency call, where they have to drop what they are doing and head over, or maybe a time and a half Saturday call. What ever they are getting paid gets eaten up pretty quickly. I know, I did the bookkeeping for a small business for many years. Sending a guy out in a van with all his equipment is not cheap. After payroll you have the cost of the vehicle and running it, insurance, advertising, time getting parts... on and on, and the business has to actually make some profit. I know it sucks to pay it, but that is what it costs.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. — Democratic leaders in the Illinois General Assembly are backing legislation that would require some corporations to reveal their income-tax bills.
Senate President John Cullerton and House Majority Leader Barbara Flynn Currie will announce their support Tuesday for the measure. Tuesday is the first day of the Legislature's fall veto session.
The Chicago Democrats want publicly traded corporations to post online the amount of corporate income taxes they paid two years prior to publication. The lawmakers say that would reduce potential competitive disadvantage to businesses that must publicize expenditures.
Officials say two-thirds of corporations pay no income taxes because of deductions, tax breaks and "loopholes."
Backers say lawmakers can't decide on a fair corporate tax structure without knowing what businesses pay.

Is the Man Who Is Tall Happy?
Opens Friday, December 6
1hr 28mins // directed by:Michel Gondry // featuring:Noam Chomsky
From Michel Gondry, the innovative director of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and The Science of Sleep, comes this unique animated documentary on the life of controversial MIT professor, philosopher, linguist, anti-war activist and political firebrand Noam Chomsky.
Through complex, lively conversations with Chomsky and brilliant illustrations by Gondry himself, the film reveals the life and work of the father of modern linguistics while also exploring his theories on the emergence of language. The result is not only a dazzling, vital portrait of one of the foremost thinkers of modern times, but also a beautifully animated work of art.
The Boston Herald
"Gondry's drawings evoke Peter Max, Keith Haring and Salvador Dali, and their constant, at times incredibly complex metamorphosis in an effort to illustrate Chomsky's theories and Gondry's questions is funny, intellectually stimulating and frequently delightful." - Jim Verniere

Hartnell and Giroux have 3 points each, Mason makes 33 saves, Flyers beat Red Wings 5-0NHL.com @NHLdotcom
PHILADELPHIA - Scott Hartnell and Claude Giroux each had three points, Steve Mason made 33 saves and the Philadelphia Flyers beat the banged up Detroit Red Wings 5-0 Tuesday night.
Adam Hall and Sean Couturier also scored for the Flyers, who snapped a four-game losing streak. The Flyers (26-22-6) won an eighth straight game at home against the Red Wings (23-19-11), a franchise best against Detroit, which has not won in Philadelphia since the 1997 Stanley Cup final.
Mason recorded his second shutout of the season and the 21st of his career.
Starting in place of Jimmy Howard, who was back on the Detroit bench after missing three games with a knee injury, Jonas Gustavsson stopped 23 of 28 shots

Post subject: iPup/iPupLite
It is the same as emptycrust but based on 2.11. Additionally, it has sound files, xorg, and abiword. There are two versions. One with Firefox (iPup) and a cleaned up menu (unused categories removed), and the other without firefox (iPupLite) and without the unused categories removed. Neither of these includes Samba, but as I have said, I can custom build you an ISO to fit your needs. The two I have mentioned above can be found at:

Todd; First I'd have to see if the Samba server package will work with Puppy-2.
It probably will, but testing would be needed so further effort wasn't wasted.
iPup being stripped down makes it perfect as a base for building Puppies.
I don't work with ISO files, I just extract them & use the files.
The PupServer & LanPuppies go on a HD of course, so there's no ISO file.
But a complete setup of PupServer & LanPuppies could be run from a CD.
Being as servers almost always have HDs, I don't see much use for it, but...

damm net card. I just found out that i have a shity PCI MN-130 (of course , microshit, what else ..) and the tulip driver is the right one , BUT, it needs to be hacked because mr.shitsoft introduced some code and because of that it is not recognize .
now the catch 22 is that the smallpup ,which doesnt recognize the card, also doesnt have the ability to uncompres the tulip file so I can alter it and recompile.Simplepup tulip extension is .gz , and guess what, puppy211 has tulip with the extension .ko. Damm... so I need to get a tulip driver for simplepup in a format that can be text edited. Google here I come...
here I am ,again, Simplepup has rxvt but without make command.I cant recompile my kernel so...I'll have to dump the mn-130 net card.Thankx to microShit for trying to hold on our pockets...we should sue them again,now , for trying to monopolize the network card market.I got no more option but to replace the net card.

You might try installing the Samba DotPup package on Puppy 2.11 & test if it works.
First install the Samba package, then run rxvt & type: ps
1 process: nmbd should show & 2 processes: smbd should show.
If those processes show, then Samba server is running properly.
If they don't show then in rxvt try typing: /etc/rc.d/rc.samba start
Then type: ps again & look for the 3 Samba server processes.
If Samba server is running, then you can try installing LanPuppy.pup again.
After installing it, ps should also show the 2 processes: dhcpd & xinetd
If you try... let me know of your progress.
These packages may very well work in Puppy-2.x.x versions, I don't know.
But it'd be real nice to find out if they do work... Good Luck!

Then you need to find out the subnet of your LAN, mine is: 192.168.0.0
In rxvt type: ifconfig & find the IP address for your PupServer PC.
Mine is: 192.168.0.100. Just put a: 0 for the last number for the subnet.
In the file: /etc/xintd.conf there's a line like: only from = (subnet address)
If it's wrong, put in the subnet address for your LAN.
Then you need to get the IP address of your PupServer PC (SeaMonkey).
In the file: /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf there's a line like: next server (IP add.)
If it's wrong, put in the PupServer's IP address.
Then you need to get the IP address of your router (if you have one).
Look in the file: /etc/resolv.conf & find the router's IP address.
If you don't have one then we'll have to talk somemore about your setup.
But if you do then do:
In the file: /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf there's a line like: router = (IP add.)
If it's wrong, put in the router's IP address.
The file: /etc/samba/smb.conf may need to be changed also.
I don't have it in front of me now, but I think it'll be good (can't recall).
These 3 config. files control the 3 services.
Samba: /etc/samba/smb.conf ....... (allows network shares)
DHCP3: /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf ...... (gives out IP addresses)
XINET: /etc/xintd.conf .................. (starts the tftpd daemon)

gabev; I've got LanPuppy up & running, if you want I can post the image.gz file & others.
This'll save you the trouble of making it, & your server seems to be working.
The file: /etc/samba/smb.conf has a line in it like: hosts allow = (subnet IP)
If the subnet value is wrong, fix it!
Mine looks like this: hosts allow = 192.168.0.
There is NO last number, different daemons & utilities do this differently!
Also, the dir.: /mnt/home/lanpup/sys should have these files in it:
homes-smb ------------- part of the LanPuppy package
lanpup-smb ------------- part of the LanPuppy package
usr_cram.fs ------------- part of the LanPuppy client version
mac2ip ------------------ part of the LanPuppy package, OR made by client
resolv.conf -------------- COPYED from /etc, after doing ether setup
Make sure all these files are there, if not tell me what's missing.

I'm finishing up the full version build of LanPuppy1-02
I'll need to test it a bit myself before releasing the beta test version.
I've made some changes to it, the big one is a common app. install for all clients.
This way apps. won't have to be installed on each & every client PC, just install once!
I know you just want to get what your working on up & running...
But when I get the updated version web hosted, maybe you'll test it out.
I don't know if you've done programming, but what works on my PC may not work on yours.
When I posted LanPuppy I got no feedback posts until yours, so I had no idea if it worked.
All I could assume was my code is perfect (very unlikely), or there was no interest in it.
I'm glad to see someone's shown interest in my handy work. Thanks for posting!

hi sunburnt,
finally we got the board up again
I did install the Lanpup again, replaced with the new xmklanpup file and checked that all the file are generated and placedin the correct folders.
I do have a wireless Linksys router and now the chalenge will be to figure out the corect ip's.I checked in my dhcpd.conf file in the /etc/dhcp3 folder and it contains no entry.
In simplepup2.11 I remember were some lines in there.
My Lan IP is : 192.168.1.1
subnet mask : 255.255.255.0
DHCP server at : 192.168.1.100
by the way what version on rxvt yoy got ? mine doesnt recognize the ipconfig command.

i'm trying now the system with puppy211 and the client is able to boot but without x, just the busy box.I looked at the errors on the client's screen and I see a mismatch for the temporary paths :
the client is giving me this error :
cp: cannot stat '/mnt/sys/lanboot-smb' : No such file or directory
cp : cannot stat '/mnt/sys/resolv.conf' : No such file or directory
/mnt/sys probably not smb-filesystem
>>> Error #2: Unable to unmount the / sys dir.
exec : 68 : /tmp/lanboot-smb not found
BusyBox v1.01 blah blah built in shell(ash)
etc etc
and I get the prompt where I can run shell commands.
Now,wasnt suppose to have lanboot-smb and the other files within /mnt/home/lanpup/sys?
I did check for /mnt /home/homes/ and I have pup-11 ,pup -12 ,pup- 13 directories...
and also checked the /mnt/home/lanpup/sys/ and it does contain all the files tha the client is looking for.Is that a path problem maybe which was overlooked?

I tested LanPuppy with puppy2.11 - seamonkey(as server) and I was able to boot Simplepuppy0.3 (as client).
My main problem was the dhcpd.conf file and also smb.conf;I look into the error logs and so I found out that incoming connection to samba server were rejected.
So you can be sure that it works on both versions of Puppy linux, "light " or "heavy".From the performance part , on the client I run Mozila Firefox 18.104.22.168 and speed is ok , but if I go to YouTube .com , sound is totally chopped.
Congrats for such a nice program.

How To (Almost) Allergy-Proof Your Home
So okay, of course it's impossible to completely rid your home of allergens. And who would want to live that way, anyway? But for those of us who suffer uncomfortable and sometimes debilitating allergies, there are many easy and relatively inexpensive ways to minimize potential allergens while still maintaining a warm and hospitable home.
What You Need
Good vacuum with a HEPA filter
Allergy-control pillow, mattress, and box spring covers
Re-usable dust mop
Good quality handheld vacuum
Shoe rack
1. If you're allergic to dust mites, pollen, or animal dander, it's wise to invest in a very good vacuum with a HEPA filter. HEPA filters provide filtration of smaller particles than standard vacuum filters. Miele vacuums, while pricey, are known for being among the best vacuums when it comes to trapping allergens.
2. Minimize carpets in your home. Hardwood floors are easier to clean; dust mites and allergens are inevitable with carpets. Of course, we all want to have rugs of some kind, so choose low-pile rugs (which don't trap allergens as easily as thick-pile) and vacuum them at least once a week. Avoid carpet in the bedroom completely.
3. Buy a re-usable microfiber dust mop. While not as effective as vacuums, these are so easy to use that you'll likely want to clean the floors more often (instead of having to drag out the vacuum every time). Dust mops do a good job of gathering up potential allergens from little nooks and crannies that the vacuum can't reach.
4. Focus on your bedroom. This is where you spend the majority of your time at home, and mattresses and pillows naturally develop dust mites over time. Use good quality dust-mite-proof pillow, mattress, and box spring covers. National Allergy covers are reliable (and recommended by allergists). They use a soft fabric that doesn't feel like plastic (unlike some other commercial allergy covers).
5. We all love to read in bed, but bookcases in the bedroom are a no-no for allergy sufferers too, as books gather a ton of dust. Just keep a couple of books on your bedside table and switch them out as you finish them. Also try to avoid upholstered furniture in the bedroom.
6. If you have a pet, buy a good handheld vacuum so you can easily vacuum your sofas and upholstered chairs. Even if your pet doesn't lie on the furniture, dander hangs in the air and gets trapped in upholstery. The Shark Handvac is inexpensive and reliable. It doesn't hold a charge very well (no handheld vacuums do), but if you just charge it for a few minutes before use, it will go for a while.
7. Consider making a shoe-free rule in your house. Even if you're uncomfortable asking guests to remove their shoes, you can always institute this rule among family members. Keep a shoe rack by your most-frequented door. This is the most effective way to minimize allergens from outdoors.
8. Avoid heavy draperies and blinds on your windows; both are likely to trap more dust than roller shades or washable curtains.
Minimizing allergens has made me feel more welcome in my own home. As hay fever season comes on, I hope these tips help some of you too! Anything to add? Feel free to weigh in below!
Want more smart tutorials for getting things done around the home?
We're looking for great examples of your own household intelligence too!

Does It Make Sense For Governments To Make Their Content Creative Commons... Or Fully Public Domain?
from the they're-not-the-same dept
So, it's certainly nice to hear, via James Firth, that the UK Parliament may consider moving away from relying on Crown Copyright on the works it produces. Apparently, at a discussion concerning the "digital agenda" and making information more open, the Director of Programmes and Development at Parliamentary ICT, Richard Ware, suggested that copyright didn't make sense for Parliamentary content:
"We're not looking to make any kind of return from this content. For us it's more important to open up the information and see what people can do with it."Now, that's sort of a vague statement, but it at least indicates the direction that they're looking in. What struck me as interesting is that Firth took this statement to mean that Parliament is looking at using Creative Commons for its content. To be honest, it's not clear to me from the coverage of what Ware said that he was, in fact, discussing Creative Commons or some alternative solution. Firth has a nice discussion about the different CC licenses and which might make most sense for Parliament, but I wonder why it doesn't just make sense to go fully public domain on such material.
As much as I like and respect Creative Commons, it does seem that, all too often, people think either that Creative Commons is the public domain or that it's a replacement for the public domain. While CC has introduced a public domain license, I think it's important not to confuse the two. And, while CC licenses certainly make sense for different creators in different arenas, I would worry that for government-produced works, it would just create confusion, as many people seem to assume all CC licenses say things that many do not.
So I'm curious: is there any reason for a government to make its works covered by Creative Commons? Or should they just go public domain? Or, since we want all bases covered, can someone explain why governments should retain some form of copyright on their works?

Police Officer Psych Eval
Hey guys, I am sure I am not the first vet to have tried to become a police officer after getting out of the service. Before I get into it, I'd like to give you guys some background info as accurately as I can.
I first applied to this agency last year in January. I took their test and passed it with flying colors. I went through the background check and passed that as welll without much hassle. I also passed the polygraph test, physical agility test, and the physical. I got a letter saying that I was Conditionally hired, depending if I pass the psychological evaluation.
Fast forward to June when I took my psych eval. Upon arrival, I was greeted by my appointed "shrink" and we proceeded inside her office. She asked me a few questions that was based on my background investigation and the standardized MMPI personality test. She asked me about my deployments and if I experienced any kind of trauma. I had told her that a friend of mine had died in a firefight and I felt remorse (I mean who wouldn't right?). Every thing seems to be going well and when I was done, we shook hands and I waited for my results. About a week later, I received a letter disqualifying me for having PTSD issues and that I can fight it or wait till a year and re-apply again. Btw, nowhere near my military medical record shows that I have been diagnosed with PTSD.
I waited for a year and during that wait period, I went to support groups with other service members who suffers from PTSD. I scheduled another evaluation with LAPD and that brings me to two days ago. My shrink was not the same person from the last time, however she did have notes from the other person and she went off on that. This time around, it felt really impersonal. SHe asked questions, I answered and while I was talking, she was typing her notes on her computer. It seems that she really wasn't taking me seriously or the evaluation. She told me that she wanted me to find some proof that I went to seek some counseling and then they will either 1) Let me go back in the process or 2) Find me unfit, which I can appeal by getting evaluated by an outside agency. I believe that I had addressed my so called issues by talking about it to professionals and other PTSD sufferers. I pride myself as a person who has a good handle on their emotions despite having been through combat. I drink rarely, and If I do I limit it to 1 or 2 drinks, I don't have any kind of anger issues, I have a job, I go to school, I have a steady relationship with a woman that I plan on marrying, and most of all I lead a normal life.
With that, I ask you my fellow calgunners and vets, have any of you experienced this when applying for a police officer position? I feel as if I am being faulted for being a service member that went through combat. I have done the best I can to deal with it by openly talking about it. I understand that the department seeks mental stability with their officers and I know that I am. If they reject me, I plan on seeking a second opinion from an outside source.
Do you know who I can turn to? is there an advocacy for veterans who are trying to continue their service in the law enforcement community but being denied because of a service related nature? thank you for you time. I know it was a bit lengthy, please let me know if there's suggestions on what I can do. Obviously I don't want to make a big stink out of this, I want to be employed with any department who would have me.
Thank you all.

Seems a really casual diagnosis of PTSD from what I read of your account. I don't suppose there is a way to get a more standard test for PTSD from a shrink to either confirm the diagnosis or disprove it?

If it showed you as having PTSD then you must be unconsciously showing signs. That test has been around since 1939 and is the only test used for TS and/or other military evals, plus it's the only one admissible in court. It's a solid test - well vetted.
Did you actually get the results of your MMPI and take them to a therapist? That might be worth it - have someone actually review the results with you so you have a more clear indication of what is going on with you. The human brain is amazing at dealing with things and can easily "fool" you into thinking everything is okay.
I'm not saying you are or aren't suffering from PTSD, and I'm certainly not saying you are unfit to be a police officer. I think you owe it to yourself to find out what they are seeing.
My .02.
Didn't know the MMPI was considered to be something worthy of making a diagnosis from, I thought it was more a screening tool to determine potential issues with folks.
In any case I agree, it's best to see a therapist or shrink on your own.

developed in 1939 to help screen people for the military prior to WWII.
Thanks for the input guys.
Actually the MMPI was not the problem. The person that interviewed me said that I did posses a lot of qualities that fits a police officer. It had something to do with the death of my friend.
I am definitely getting a second opinion on this. I just didn't like the fact that the original person who interviewed me said that my medical record stated that I needed help, even though there aren't any kind of mental help recommendations on my records. Then to make matters worse, during my second interview, the person evaluating me didn't seem to be interested in what I had to say. She was looking at her screen and asking, "how do you feel about that?", "what did you mean by that". I felt like I was on trial and she was leading me to answer a certain way and I chose not to let her do that.

I re-read your OP and it seems to me that you didn't say anything odd according to what I'm saying, although "remorse" is not the word I would have chosen but then we are all different.
It sounds to me like that shrink has a few issues of her own. GO FIGURE
I think there are good shrinks out there, but I think there are some pretty lousy ones as well. If anyone doubts this look at the children of shrinks. Some of them are pretty balanced, some of them are pretty screwed up.
Oh look here's one:
It could be she's just uncomfortable in front of a camera or she's got some strange **** going on upstairs
Or maybe she's got some weird facial muscle di-di-di-di-sorder.

I've taken the MMPI more times than I can count. That test is a joke. To the OP, I applied and was hired by LAPD many years ago. I couldn't make my academy date because Uncle Sam wouldn't let me out of my enlistment three months early. Looking back on it, the Gov't probably did me a favor. That agency has a lot of internal problems. Sounds to me like you got a jacked up shrink. Me personally, I'd move on to another dept. since what you told the shrinker shouldn't have been a reason for disqualification.
I was looking at it and it's just a serious of true/false questions right?
I was reading the first 75 they put online and I thought a lot of these have a bit more to them than a simple black and white, 0/1, yes/no, true/false answer.
Here's my answer to 10:

It's only true or false - you can't write comments. The questions seem odd, and the test seems easy to "fool" but statistically it's proven not to be. Also, statistically speaking the results will be remarkably similar if taken today and 4 months from today (assuming you aren't taking drugs for your psych issue or in treatment). There are a bunch of "control" questions that are mixed in there as well.
Just keep trying, try other departments.

The worst part is, we can argue about it all we want, but it doesn't change the fact it is used by a plethora of agencies. OP, my advice is to move on to another department.
Consider it their loss and they may be doing you a favor.
Dont stress so much. If you want it you will get it. I failed the psych for one dept because the psych lady said I owned too many guns (3 is not too many) and she said I lied (which I did not) and that I have ptsd because I did two deployments as an infantryman. I applied with another dept and passed the psych just fine and got hired. you can make it happen if you want it. Just dont make yourself a false hero on the test by answering how you think the psych person wants you to answer. just be yourself.

Law firms and judges care once again how the school is ranked in a particular region.
I tend to look at the positives not the negatives in terms of the legal marketplace. Look at it from this standpoint: Society will probably become more and more litigious as the years go by. History has proven this to be true. Next, as the middle class people no longer enjoy jobs such as 25 dollar an hour janitors or non skilled laborers making 50k a year- these middle class and also lower income people will certainly want to become claimants against someone to pay the bills (goverment, former employer, insurance company). Lawyers will certainly have to be involved in either of these situations.
the white rabbit, that's what I mean. Law firms both know and have some say in where law schools rank in general (I don't mean the exact number, but they know how the schools that feed into their market compare.

Where does this come from all of a sudden. Baron is our second best perimeter defender both team and in terms of keeping his man in front of him. In some ways he's better than Jax because he's way quicker off his feet.
He had one off-game. No wonder really after being run for 40 mins a game all season.
