Cooper Discoverer A/T3 Tire TestPosted in How To: Wheels Tires on March 1, 2012
What you want and what you need are rarely the same. Often our eyes go for the bigger slice of cake, the higher-horsepower engine, the more extreme tire. Truth be told, most of our 4x4s live on the street, and although massive muddies may look the best and work better in the slop , when it comes to a daily driver or tow rig those tires are, as Mr. Spock would say, "simply illogical."
However, our fullsize trucks are coming from the factory with wimpy rubber. An easy-to-install budget leveling kit for most will clear 35-inch rubber, so why not upgrade? Our '10 Ram test truck lives most of its time in front of a trailer, so even though we like running mud tires we realized that saving them for trail use or special occasions of extended dirt makes more sense. Thus we ordered up a set of Cooper Discoverer A/T3s in a LT315/70R17 size, wrapped them around some Dick Cepek rims, and headed down the road. To our delight, the tires did exactly as we had hoped and in many ways performed better than a more aggressive tire would have.
Discoverer STT
The A/T3 is a great daily driver tire, but Cooper also offers an excellent mud tire in the Discoverer STT. We've covered them in the past, so we'll just touch on them here, but these radial tires come in sizes up to 37 inches and are the most aggressive tire in the Cooper lineup.
With rim options from 15 to 20 (same as the A/T3) we had no trouble fitting the STTs on some old slot mags. The aggressive tread rolls over to the sidewall, forming what Cooper calls Scalloped Shoulder Lugs. Plus, they have bead protectors and three-ply carcass construction. We've found them to perform excellent in both rocks and mud and to fill a niche where an all-terrain just won't do.

Just a year ago, poliovirus seemed on its last legs in Pakistan, one of its final strongholds. Polio cases were steadily falling, from 306 in 2014 to 54 in 2015, 20 in 2016, and, by last count, eight in 2017. Blood tests showed that, overall, immunity to the virus had never been higher, even among children aged 6 to 11 months, thanks to years of tireless vaccination campaigns. Surely, there were not enough susceptible kids to sustain transmission, and the virus would burn itself out within a year.
Unsettling new findings, however, show it is far from gone. In the most extensive effort in any country to scour the environment for traces of the virus, polio workers are finding it widely across Pakistan, in places they thought it had disappeared. They are wondering "just what the hell is going on" and how worried they should be, says epidemiologist Chris Maher of the World Health Organization (WHO) in Geneva, Switzerland, who runs polio operations in the eastern Mediterranean region. Does this mean the virus is more entrenched than anyone realized and is poised to resurge? Or is this how a virus behaves in its final days—persisting in the environment but not causing disease until it fades out?
[...] Along with Afghanistan and Nigeria, Pakistan is one of just three endemic countries—places where indigenous wild poliovirus has never been vanquished.
[...] Since the eradication effort began in 1988, the gold standard for detecting poliovirus has been surveillance for acute flaccid paralysis (AFP)—finding and testing every child with a sudden weakness or floppiness in the arms or legs. The yearly case count has been the benchmark for success: After 12 months without a polio case, WHO has historically removed a country from the endemic list.
Polio workers collect sewage samples, usually from open drainage ditches, and test them for virus. If the test is positive, that means someone in the catchment area is infected and actively excreting it. Pakistan now has 53 sampling sites, more than any other country. And at a time when cases are the lowest on record, 16% of samples from across the country are testing positive.
[...] One possible explanation for the disconnect is that AFP surveillance is missing cases. Maher doubts that the number is significant, but others suspect that too many children among the mobile populations, including the marginalized Pashtun minority, still aren't being vaccinated despite ramped up efforts to reach them. "I don't think polio is entrenched across Pakistan, but this last reservoir of 'people on the move' is sustaining the virus," says Steve Cochi, a polio expert at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta.
[...] The program is not taking any chances. The response to each positive environmental test is now as aggressive as to a case of paralysis. And the program is hammering the virus with repeated vaccination campaigns throughout the "low season," between December and May, when cold weather makes it tougher for the virus to survive. Whether the strategy works will become clear later this year when the weather turns warm. But one thing is certain: The absence of cases is no longer enough to declare victory over polio. Going forward, a country will not be considered polio-free until 12 months have passed without a case—or a positive environmental sample.
So, while we're on the subject of Polio - it is much more problematic in the rich countries where everyone has toilets - and now are choosing to forego vaccines again...

But but heavy metals! Can make people sick! WE JUST DON'T KNOW!!!
No, no, actually we do know: Mad as a Hatter, Newton's madness - mercury will f-you up if you get too much in your system.
Still, polio vaccine is one of the great achievements of modern medicine - the 249th follow on, me too, I want my slice of that sweet vaccine profit pie lame excuse of a trumped up argument against a disease that's not all that out of hand? Personally, I think the vaccine show jumped the shark shortly after tetanus.

Don't get me wrong, I think he's good, but not genius-level good. The Steelers lived off of big plays for most of the year. No one seemed to talk about it, but most people who watched the Steelers all year (like me) noticed how spotty the running game was all year, and I think Whisenhunt deserves some heat for that. (As an aside, when people love the offense, it's Whiz; when the offense is sucking it up, it's all Cowher's fault. I digress.)
Anyway, good to see he's smart enough to stay away from the Raiders. That team is a mess. It also opens the door for the return of Art Shell, which should be fun- those teams were always mistake-prone, and Shell couldn't manage the clock to save his life. I love train wrecks.
One difference between Wisenhunt and Mularkey is that Mularkey was ready to run any gadget play at any time regardless if the situation was right for it or not. Mularkey ran so many gadget plays that it was more of a surprise to opponents when they actually lined up and ran a normal play.
The running game was definetely spotty but part of that comes from the fact that Parker is not a back who is going to grind out yards consistently. Obviously the 75 yard runs are great but he is not going to consistently get yards and move the chains. As the playoffs showed the Steelers left a lot of their offense untapped throughout the season. Part of this was due to Ben's health but Ben showed what he can do given the oppurtunity.
Branching out to other sports, has there ever been a more overhyped one dimensional player than Kevin Pittsnogle? Also tonight is the most I have seen of either Pitt and I have seen slightly more of WVU but they are not playing like top level basketball teams tonight, this game is UGLY

The Dart: A stop on the Underground Railroad
STAMFORD -- Tucked away in North Stamford sits an old farmhouse on Haviland Road named Hollow Hill that's part of the city's history and folklore.
The house was used as a convalescent home for wounded soldiers during the Revolutionary War and as part of the Underground Railroad during the Civil War. It has a trap door that once led to a hiding spot for slaves and a gravesite for one in the backyard.
But it may be the unproven rumors that attract the most discussion. Stories have circulated for years that the old house is haunted by the ghost of a sea captain.
"The house has a real wild history," owner Ann Jasperson said as she entered the front room. "This is the original part of the house -- it's from the 1730s."
Jasperson and her husband, Colvin Stone, bought the house in 1995. She said it was originally just a farmhouse and through the years has undergone renovations and additions. It now has 12 rooms, a detached garage and an in-ground swimming pool.
While expanding their kitchen in 1998, they said author James Pegolotti asked to visit because he was writing a book on one of the former owners, Deems Taylor. The couple heard a famous person had lived there, but didn't know much about him.
More InformationThe Dart is a weekly feature in which reporters throw a dart at a map of Stamford and then go out in search of a story. This week the dart landed on Haviland Road in North Stamford.
"We really didn't know anything until Pegolotti stopped by," Jasperson said. "Then things started making sense."
Taylor was a composer and music critic who also acted as host for Walt Disney's 1940 movie "Fantasia." He converted Hollow Hill from a farmhouse to a summer house and hosted several famous guests while living there from 1923 to 1955.
Pegolotti brought Taylor's daughter Joan to the house, and she told the couple about all of the house's trap doors and other interesting features.
"It was kind of cool because she remembers the house how it was originally," Stone said.
The couple has the book about Taylor, which has a photograph of him in the backyard on the cover and includes one of him and Joan in the house.
They also have a scrapbook on the house's history, full of old newspaper articles and photographs.
As Stone walked through the living room, which features a low ceiling and stone fireplace, he said nothing lines up in the old part of the house. The floors are made of large chestnut planks, which he said are no longer available.
When they went into the basement, Jasperson said it was originally the kitchen. After pulling off some paneling and discovering another stone fireplace, they purchased antique wood and added a mantle and two logs for reinforcement.
Near the stairs that lead to the second floor, Jasperson opened a call box the residents once used to summon the maids. Upstairs, outside the master bedroom, is a box where the maids would leave coffee for the lady of the house.
In the master bedroom, Stone lifted a trap door that once led to a space to hide slaves. He's not sure how many people could fit in the space, because it no longer exists.
"This would be the place where they would hide people if the sheriffs came around," Stone said. "They remodeled the house so much that it doesn't go anywhere anymore."
Also in the bedroom, Taylor had his and his wife's initials designed into a light fixture and in front of the fireplace. Nearby, Jasperson has a studio for her toy designing business and a bathroom with rubber ducks on the wallpaper and hundreds of rubber ducks around the room.
The bathroom leads into a second bedroom, where Taylor would stay when he came home late at night. It has a tiny bed in the middle, with several small cabinets around it.
"The whole house is like boxes and cubbies," Jasperson said.
That room, over the years, has been dubbed "The Captain's Room" and is said to be where the ghost likes to hang out. Rumors circulated for years that the room was made of the captain's cabin of an old ship, but that's proved to be untrue.
Outside the 2,756-square foot Colonial, they said Taylor's Italian mason added a lot of stonework, including a pond, a fountain and a wall that goes around the property. There's a stone well in the front of the house, which has been renovated a couple of times.
"The name of the house is Hollow Hill because it was built on the side of a hill," Jasperson said. "You really can't tell how big it is until you go inside."
Stone walked down the backyard, where a slave was apparently buried during the Civil War. There isn't an actual gravestone, but the person's name and year of death -- R. Jones 1864 -- were engraved into a giant rock. The Underground Railroad reached its peak at about that time.
Stone said he heard there was a gravesite somewhere on the 2-acre property and then found it one day while clearing brush. Now 148 years old, it's difficult to make out the writing.
"I know nothing about it," he said. "I just surmise that she was up here and she stayed."
For many years, the house was believed to be haunted and The Advocate did feature stories on the place in 1976 and 1983 for Halloween. Stone said some people won't even go into the house because they believe the stories.
"Everybody asked if we've seen the captain yet," Stone said.
As the stories go, some people have felt a presence in the house for many years. They say the presence is "friendly," but during a 12-year period in the 1970s and '80s,the house changed hands six times.
One couple said they heard a bottle smash and then another one roll across the floor upstairs in the captain's room. When they ran upstairs, they didn't see anyone or anything. The same man said he would close the sliding doors in the room halfway, then find them open.
Another woman, while waiting for her husband to come home at night, would often hear footsteps coming up the steps. But she wouldn't find anyone there.
A neighbor claimed to have seen a sea captain's figure on the front lawn, and an electrician working on the house said he felt a hand on his shoulder.
Stone laughs off the stories and said he doesn't believe in ghosts. His wife said she's not really sure, but said she does hear noises and feels a presence in the house.
The wood-sided house, once white with blue trim, is now coffee-colored with maroon shutters. Stone said he's constantly rebuilding and fixing the old shutters, along with everything else.
Though the couple has a plaque outside, saying the house was built in 1730, some have challenged that claim. The Stamford Historical Society previously claimed that Nathaniel Webb Jr. built Hollow Hill in 1765. Webb is a founding father of Stamford, with two roads named after him.
Another notable resident of the house was Norman Haviland, for whom the road that Hollow Hill sits on was named.
"All the roads are named after them up here, so you figure they must have been important," Stone said.

Reds hopeful Latos' next rehab start is his last
CINCINNATI -- Reds pitcher Mat Latos' fourth, and likely final, rehab assignment start will be for Triple-A Louisville at Pawtucket on Monday.
Latos is expected to throw 90-100 pitches in the game.View Full Game Coverage
CINCINNATI -- Reds pitcher Mat Latos' fourth, and likely final, rehab assignment start will be for Triple-A Louisville at Pawtucket on Monday.
Latos is expected to throw 90-100 pitches in the game.View Full Game Coverage
"He'll go out there in search of that longer outing, that 90-plus pitch outing, and we hope to have him ready and in our rotation after that," Reds manager Bryan Price said on Sunday.
Latos has a 2.63 ERA in three rehab starts in 13 1/3 innings for Louisville. His previous outing at Lehigh Valley was expected to be his last before activation from the disabled list, but he exited in the sixth with a cramp in his calf.
The Reds decided that one more start was needed, which left Latos miffed.
"It's pretty bogus I've got to go on another rehab assignment, but it is what it is," Latos said on Friday. "I'll go down there and throw 100 fastballs and call it a day and come back up here and we'll assess what's going on."
Price is hopeful that Latos will use the start as a chance to prepare himself for joining and helping the rotation the rest of the season.
"We're looking to string together victories and get ourselves back to the top of the division, and he can play a large part in that effort," Price said. "So it benefits everybody that he goes out there and gets the work done, competes well and uses it as a stepping stone into his first start for us and we'll see what the results are."
Latos' impatience is understandable because it's already been a long and frustrating comeback road. He had elbow surgery to remove bone chips in October and he was almost ready when he needed left knee surgery at the start of Spring Training to repair torn minsicus cartilage. He had started a rehab assignment in April when he suffered a strained flexor mass tendon in his right forearm.
"Yeah, and I'm aware of some of his comments that he's ready to pitch, beyond all the other stuff. And I believe to a certain extent he probably is," Price said. "I would like to be able to expect him to throw as many innings or pitches as the other four guys or five guys we have currently in the rotation are expected to throw, simply, in large part, because we don't have a true long-relief pitcher. We don't have a Triple-A starter, we don't have a Jeff Francis.
"So if something happens to a starter early in the game, it can blow up our bullpen and so I'd like to know going into it that he's capable of throwing 100 to 100-plus pitches."
Price was asked whether one of the existing starters -- presumably Tony Cingrani or Alfredo Simon -- could fill that long-man role.
"Yeah, but that's when [Latos is] added. And that's if we make that decision to keep that pitcher here," Price said.

Schwartz And Kilroy Tied For The Lead In Key West
17 January 2012
Key West, Fla. - The second day of racing at Quantum Key West 2012 proved to overnight leaders (and, the rest of the fleet for that fact) that winning this championship isn't going to be as easy as yesterday may have made it seem. With three additional races now complete, Benjamin Schwartz with tactician Ed Baird on Pisces now leads the Melges 32 fleet in Key West. Overnight leader John Kilroy on Samba Pa Ti is in second place. To make things more than very interesting, the two are tied with 14 points each. Alec Cutler with Richard Clarke as tactician on Hedgehog is third some eleven points back.
In race one, Schwartz found himself in a face off with Geoff Pierini on Sicktrix for top mark honors. Pierini won the mark, but failed to execute on the spinnaker set, allowing Schwartz to roll right past taking first place with him, Keisuke Suzuki with tactician Jesper Radich on Swing followed in second, Vincenzo Onorato's Mascalzone Latino came third. Schwartz held his own through the gate and back upwind with a change of course being implemented. Schwartz continued his lead of a boat-length-and-a-half around the final windward mark with Onorato in tow, chasing hard for the lead. Suzuki remained third, Pierini rounded fourth with Kilroy in fifth. Downwind, Onorato held Schwartz to the fire, challenging tack-for-tack in an attempt to gain advantage. Schwartz took the win ahead of Onorato, Suzuki finished third.
After a quick reset of the course, race two got underway. PRO Peter Reggio prescribed a Course 4, with a bearing of 125 at 1.5nm. Going into the first mark, brand new Melges 32 owner Makoto Uematsu and tactician Gerry Mitchell on Esmeralda took the lead and held on through the gate. At the last mark of the race, Uematsu was mere moments ahead of Schwartz when he surrendered the lead to perform a penalty turn. Schwartz was quick to seize control of the lead. Schwartz won easily, while Uematsu maintained second place. Kilroy finished third.
The last race of the day went to Malcolm Gefter and tactician John Mollicone on Celeritas. From start to finish, Gefter held off the likes of Bob Hughes' Heartbreaker and Steve Howe's Warpath to win his first ever Melges 32 race.

WASHINGTON -- The Anacostia Riverwalk Trail is growing and the planned extension will connect many of Washington's favorite locations.
A $10 million grant from the Department of Transportation will fund a four-mile extension that will connect 16 waterfront communities, including Nationals Park, RFK Stadium, the Navy Yard and the National Arboretum.
Sen. Ben Cardin says the extension also will link dozens of suburban and urban trails in the district and Maryland, helping spur economic development in the area.
The project will also include measures to prevent polluted runoff from entering the Anacostia River and the construction of five bridges.

from the rear-ended-by-the-law dept
Proving that learning a lesson is very, very difficult, North Face has taken the former owners of South Butt to court again. What happened at the conclusion of the original lawsuit was South Butt agreed to drop their brand entirely as part of an injunction. Then, according to North Face, they jumped right back into their old shenannigan ways, forming the company Why Climb Mountains LLC and registering for a trademark on their new brand Butt Face. As if all of this wasn't funny enough, the following is taken from North Face's filing, in which they are asking for WCM LLC to be held in contempt, to recover costs, and for disgorgement for trademark violations:
"A survey conducted by plaintiff shows that approximately 35 percent of respondents identify The North Face as being associated with The Butt Face trademark when shown a sample of contempt respondents' T-shirts. Not only are contempt respondents now engaged in the widespread sale and promotion of The Butt Face branded goods, but Why Climb Mountains, LLC also has filed for registration of The Butt Face trademark with the United States Patent and Trademark Office."
If this is alledging brand confusion, I'm at a loss as to exactly how North Face went out and managed to collect what has to be the world's most hurried morons in a single room as a method for getting 35% of them to think Butt Face and North Face were the same thing. WCM's lawyer seems to feel similarly skeptical:
""The South Butt and Olop [South Butt's sister line] are genuinely committed to the fundamental concept that the consuming public is perfectly capable of discerning the difference between a direction point on a compass and that part of the body from which solid waste is evacuated," [Albert] Watkins said in a statement."
The other interesting tidbit in North Face's complaints is that they believe...wait for it...that WCM's owners are simply using the lawsuits filed against it as publicity. They reached the same conclusion as we had years ago. But, in an apparent attempt to test a theory called "litigation through stubborness", they filed suit and gave their adversaries more ammuntion for publicity. It would be as though I had an ant problem in my kitchen because I left some honey out on the counter and my response was to cover the counter in honey while complaining about the ants marching in.
In the end, North Face likely would have been far better served to ignore South Butt along with its new iteration, Butt Face. On the other hand, if they had, I never would have had the pleasure of writing the headline for this article. So, you know, thanks for that I guess.

No one gets just one, so throw down $5 for 2 at happy hour (5 till 10pm daily!) and enjoy your guilty pleasure at this hipster bar in Old Town. Behold the tiny piece of bright orange cheeze, the sometimes slathered, sometimes sparse, always tasty chipotle sauce, imitation ham, soft English muffin and surprisingly crisp pepperocini accompaniment.

I have to say, I'm pretty devastated there was no appearance of pepperocinis this past visit, but so it goes.

Spain, France win Under-20 WCup opening matches
ISTANBUL (AP) — Spain showed why it is favored to win the Under-20 World Cup by beating the United States 4-1 on Friday in its opener after doubles from star strikers Jese and Gerard Deulofeu.
France also turned in a strong performance in the other Group A match, scoring two second-half goals within four minutes to win 3-1 against Ghana.
Spain opened the scoring when Deulofeu fires a shot across the goal mouth and Jese volleyed the ball into the net in the fifth minute.
Deulofeu, who plays for Barcelona, received the ball outside the area, sidestepped a defender and sent a blistering shot just beyond goalkeeper Cody Cropper to make it 2-0 in the 42nd. The European champions caught the defense sleeping two minutes later.
Javier Manquillo made a great run, passed to Jese, who was lurking in the area, and the Real Madrid striker scored his second goal just before halftime.
"We are happy for our team," Spain coach Julen Lopetegiu said. "In the first half, we had problems with the American pressure. But we tried to run behind the defenders and we had the chance to score goals."
Spain seemed to content to sit back for much of the second half, but again its counterattack paid dividends. Deulofeu received a long ball, got around Cropper and scored his second.
The Americans pulled one back when Luis Gil, who plays for Real Salt Lake, scored from just outside the area in the 77th.
U.S. coach Tab Ramos defended his decision to press Spain, insisting he didn't want to "defend on our side of the field and lose."
"It's difficult to press Spain for 90 minutes. I thought we did a pretty good job of that," he said. "What happens when you press, the press gets broken and you are vulnerable in the back. When you have players like Jese and Deulofeu — such great players, the timing of their runs is excellent. Sometimes great players will win the game regardless of what you do."
France, which lost to Spain in the semifinals of the Under-19 European Championship, showed it has the attack to go far in the tournament.
After Ghana missed several early chances, France dominated the Group A encounter for much of the second period. The French hit the post in the 51st minute before Sevilla midfielder Geoffrey Kondogbia put the team ahead with a header in the 65th. Three minutes later, Kondogbia chipped a nifty pass into the area for Auxerre striker Yaya Sanogo to shoot between the legs of goalkeeper Eric Antwi.
France forward Jean Christophe Bahebeck scored a third in 79th, before Ghana substitute Yiadom Boakye pulled one back in the 85th.
"Today, we were lacking a lot of things. We had a very average game but in the end we won 3-1," France coach Pierre Mankowski said. "So I told the boys it was important to win because it was the first game. Clearly we can enhance our game, and in fact we have to be stronger for the next games."
Mankowski was full of praise for Kondogbia and Sanogo for wreaking havoc on Ghana's defense, using their size and quickness to outflank the smaller defenders and to get to loose balls in the area. Sanogo has shown the most improvement since he spent a year playing for Sevilla, Mankowski said.
"Now he understands the right moment to try and score, the moments to make a difference," Mankowski said. "When he is good on the pitch, the team is good."
Ghana coach Sellas Tetteh, who managed his side to the 2009 title, blamed the loss on several defensive lapses and missed chances when his team dominated in the first 20 minutes.
"It's not good that we lost but I believe there were a few things there we could take home," he said. "We had a wonderful first half, but we were a little bit sloppy midway in the second. We also conceded that early goal. That created a lot of problems for us. We finished the game stronger and that is positive."
Security has been stepped up at all seven sites following weeks of sometimes violent protests after riot police cracked down on environmental activists who opposed plans to remove trees and develop Gezi Park in Istanbul. But the protests this week have given way to peaceful resistance, and there were no signs of protesters Friday at the Ali Sami Yen Arena.
Instead, the problem was a lack of spectators. The France-Ghana match only attracted 2,800 fans, leaving much of the 50,000-seat stadium empty. That confirmed FIFA's fears ahead of the tournament that tickets were selling too slowly, with only 300,000 of the 1.3 million tickets sold.
South Korea came from a goal down to beat tournament newcomer Cuba 2-1 in the Group B opener. Reyes opened the scoring for Cuba in the seventh minute, only for the Asian champions to score twice in the second half. Kwon Chang-hoon scored a penalty in the 51st, and Rey Seung-woo hit the winner in the 83rd.
In other Group B match, Portugal led 2-0 over Nigeria but Ajagun scored twice within 10 minutes to draw the African side level. Bruma added a second in the 69th to give the Portugese the win.

This is my first tute so please bear with me. I had enough questions about my selvage and crazy chickens that I felt it would be better to make a tute rather than answer everybody individually. Im not claiming to the basic design of the chicken itself that honor goes to the late Doreen Speckmann and her Norwegian Chicken pattern. Her original pattern was for 3 log cabin blocks with 1/2 logs, very small felt beak and comb and a seed bead for the eyes. Cute, but not nearly the pizazz I like nowadays. My love of selvages & pincushions begat the birth, umm hatching, of my wild & funky chickens.
Step 1: The Body
This batch is 3-1/2 squares making a 2-1/2 tall chicken when finished. Any size or type of squares can be used, selvages, crazy, log cabin, or any other square pattern. I make 6 square selvage chickens for my guild friends, not only are these chickens huge, but what character!!

Updated Universal Installer
I have modified the Puppy Universal Installer and fixed some bugs. (I used the one from 2.14)
Please try it and report how it works.
If you have any requests concerning it, NOW is the time to make them.
I have one question, in case someone can help:
I have enabled installing to USB harddrives just like internal harddrives, but there's a comment of Barry's about USB harddrives needing syslinux -- in fact being installed like USB flash drives.
Does anyone know anything about this? I could easily make a distinction between "internal" harddrives and have the "externals" (USB) grouped with USB flash drives and installed like them.

Thanks Dougal
download and clicked on file
which unzipped in /tmp
moved "puppyinstaller" to /usr/sbin
and changed the permissions to executible
then ran fixmenus (I am in 2.15CE)
I am all set to test . . .
well it ran - wot is LS-120?
Will it install to an external USB hard drive?
an SD card? (tried that before but no luck)
Should it call the Multisession script?
more testers required on this one

I have just updated the attachment, a little bug fixed and some other things modified.
Lobster: LS-120 is a type of ZIP drive.
At the moment it might install to a USB external HD, but will do so like installing to an internal HD -- that's what I'm not sure about.
It should install to a SD card.

could you add a description so that it is more clear that you can only do a full (option 2) install on a linux partition. here's the thread about it http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=111869
Also on the same page where you are given the option between "normal" and "co-exist" can you put (full hard drive) and (frugal) above the buttons or something. I know it says it on that page but there's a lot of text there and I don't think everyone will read it. Might want to put (option 1) and (option 2) there too.
Maybe we could even put (reccomended) near the frugal install? Some people might not like it, but I think it's easier to manage and it's closer to how Puppy was meant to be run.
Also we could have a button that says "which install is right for me" or "help me choose", then we could bring up a longer page that lists the benefits of each type of install, such as full-install is better if you have 128MB or less of memory, and frugal is much easier to back up. I could write a wiki page about choosing if that would be better than writing it yourself. Maybe we could even have a page for each "page" of the installer, so it would be easier to have people help you write that text.
Just my thoughts. Thanks for working on updating the installer Dougal.

Dougal, the most recent version of the puppyinstaller is in 2.16exp, last updated 3rd April. I don't recall what has been changed, minor I think, but it would be best if you could do a compare and incorporate my changes since 2.14, in case there's anything important.

I only just discovered a frugal install. Really because the grub setup was beyond my ken and running from a pristine and new CD every 6 weeks cleared a lot of the gunk, uped my experience level etc. Now with a little more experience it seems quite straightforward to set up a frugal . . . It is probably even easier with the universal installer
Perhaps a help option to describe what exactly each install type/medium is and what the advantages and circumstances for use are?

Oooh, yes please! Consider the following, if you wouldn't mind:
1. I don't mind "NORMAL" and "COEXIST" but found the Type 1 vs Type 2 confusing when the options are actually in reverse order; Normal comes first (left to right) but is Type 2, and Coexist comes second (left to right) but is Type 1.
2. Also there is way too much text that doesn't really explain clearly enough what's going to happen during the install. Like most I always accept the advice to simply choose the default options. Maybe a popup tool tip for each button would clear the clutter a little? Don't know if that's possible with different WM's. Just asking.
3. This one is crucial, IMHO. Make BOTH install types lead in to an option to create a Grub boot on the hard drive. COEXIST will do a Frugal install, but leaves the user lost as to how to boot if they don't want to use a floppy; most Frugal users don't.
4. As long as you're upgrading PUI, then Grub config also should be upgraded - the two are practically inseparable, despite being separate scripts. Grub config needs to make different menu.lst file entries depending on whether a Normal or Coexist install was chosen.
5. Can the number of drive choices be categorised in some way? For example; USB device, then an option to choose memory stick, external hard drive, whatever?
6. Finally, can the PUI create a one-time boot script for the new install that puts the user straight into the Wizard wizard? I solved the problem in 2.15CE by having the Setup icon right next to the menu button so it was virtually unmissable. Better if the user understands they still have some setup duties AFTER the GUI boots, too.
Hope I haven't been too greedy with my requests, Dougal.
Actions speak louder than words ... and they usually work when words don't!

I am right now using the 2.15CE PUI to create a 2.15CE Option 2 install to an ext3 partition for testing purposes. Barry and Dougal, I don't know if you have changed this already in your new versions, but I notice the following typos in the dialog box "Puppy universal installer: SANITY CHECK"...
"hdb1 does not have pup_save.3fs file in it."
but it ought to say
"hdb1 does not have a pup_save.2fs file in it."
and further down says
"If the partition has pup_save.3fs in it,"
"if pup_save.3fs does not exist"
"you should not delete or rename pup_save.3fs right now"
...All these references should be to pup_save.2fs not .3fs.

Ehhhh, and now I'm in a dialog box labeled "Puppy universal installer" which says,
"Please insert the Puppy live-CD (if not already) into the drive. Note, in case your PC has two CD/DVD drives, Puppy is expecting the live-CD to be inserted into hdb, which is described as:
After inserting live-CD, click OK button..."
...What the...??
"WDC WD102BA" is hdb. It's the Western Digital hard disk I'm trying to install to. Obviously I can't insert the live-DVD there.
The live-CD should be (and already is) in the drive which MUT calls "PLEXTOR DVDR PX-760A"...
Better wording and accurate placement of my DVD drive would be,
"Please insert the Puppy live-CD (if not already inserted) into the drive. Note: in case your PC has two CD/DVD drives, Puppy is expecting the live-CD to be inserted into hdc, which is described as:
After inserting live-CD, click OK button..."
I'm going to cancel out and start fresh. I did have to unmount the hdb drive per PUI's warning on the prior screen, and perhaps unmounting hdb in the middle of PUI confused it.

Hmm. PUI isn't working. Even though the target hd, hdc, is not mounted. Perhaps it isn't PUI's fault though: neither MUT nor PMount will mount the live-DVD.
MUT shows the message
seek/read failed track 1 00:02#16 (5)=input/output error
to the right of the DVD drive's "Mount" button.
Enough of this, it's late here. In 20 hours or so I'll unpack vmlinuz, initrd.gz, and pup_215.sfs to their own partition on one of the other hard disks in this machine and try PUI with that as the source.

Hi Dougal, thanks for doing this, I have always found the installer a little confusing (like the option 1, option 2 being reversed and a clearer description (including a frugall install and the pros and cons ) would be most useful. Also automounting the CD seems to make a lot of sense (didn't it used to do that?), I found mounting very confusing to begin with.
Any chance that someone could write a script to enable an install straight to HDD or USB stick etc direct from the downloaded ISO (would save a lot of CD's being burnt), be faster for testers.(could be made as a dotpup and later incorporated into Universal installer?)) Checkiing the pole currently 48% of Puppy installs are to the HDD.
Many thanks. Tony

The last time I tried to use the installer was about a month ago. I was trying to install an older version of Puppy onto Flash memory to put into a Nohrtec Jr. (This came with 2.14 and was too slow.)
I got right to the end of the process and it failed a final "sanity check" which stated that it was an earlier version of Puppy. There was no option to proceed regardless. I think this "sanity check" menu should give the option of proceeding or aborting.
Whilst I like the latest Puppy, sometimes you want to install something else!

Post subject: notes
If CD/DVD identification is troublesome, copying the Puppy files to a temporary hard disk directory could help. This can be done by the user himself at the start. This will also allow extraction of files from the ISO, if there is such a utility added to the process.
I also agree that Grub should be tailored to each install. Right now the frugal install has no matching menu.lst settings.
Why don't we "promote" frugal install by calling it the "preferred" install of Puppy?
Thanks for working on this, Dougal.

Ok, I'll go over all these requests and try and accomodate as many as I can.
I have just updated the attachment in the first message:
I have made a separate option for USB HD.
I have fixed some little bugs. Also changed the way I find SATA drives (they apear as "Direct-Access", rather than "disk").
Regarding some of the comments above:
I have already changed the cdrom part so it doesn't ask you to put the cd in a specific drive -- it just checks both drives.
I have also changed the wording of some dialogs.
I think it might be a problem to change the "option 1" and "option 2" naming, since those terms are already widely used (on many forum threads) so it might cause a bit of confusion... I'll see what I can do to clarify it, though.
Concerning installation from an ISO: it's already an option: you can choose a directory that has the files -- just mount the iso and select the mountpoint.
It would be best if people try and run my modified script (at least half-way through, when you can still bail out), so the comments will be more relevant to how it is now (there could be simple bugs like drives not being detected...)
Also, I could use some info on things like USB hard-drives -- even just the output of test-scsi or probedisk.

Columbus Blue Jackets head coach John Tortorella made NHL history after winning his 600th game.
Tortorella became the first United States-born coach to win 600 games following Thursday's 4-3 overtime victory against the Nashville Predators.
This is Tortorella's 18th season coaching in the NHL. He has spent time with the Tampa Bay Lightning, New York Rangers, Vancouver Canucks and Blue Jackets.
The 60-year-old won the Stanley Cup with Tampa Bay in 2003-04.
CONGRATS, TORTS!— Columbus Blue Jackets (@BlueJacketsNHL) January 11, 2019

Tortorella is now 600-477-37 in his career. He is 19th all-time in NHL history in games won and at the time of his victory, he trailed Montreal Canadiens counterpart Claude Julien by six wins for 18th.
While Tortorella is the first American-born coach to win 600 games, he will soon be followed by the coach on the losing side on Thursday.
Predators boss Peter Laviolette has 598 career wins and will be at 600 very soon.

The following message from Min. David Pawson about death is from his series "Life After Death".
Some might say that this is a somber subject, but many people do not understand what happens to us when we die. Since this world is not our home, it is important for us to consider life after death.
While Min. Pawson touches on this from an aspect of physical death, some of these things are true as it relates spiritually as well (the death of the old man).
In addressing this topic, Min. Pawson covers:
- One may be able to postpone death, but cannot put it off forever.
- With death being as certain as it is, it is utterly foolish not to prepare for it.
- Even Christians, who should be rejoicing over the fact that Jesus has conquered death, often consider the topic of death as "morbid", indicating the fear they still have about it.
- Many are running from this topic because:
- They have grown too comfortable in this world
- There is a growing pattern of disbelief about any world outside of this tangible one
- We don't like any disturbing ides
- We don't like relationships to end
- Deep down, we fear it. This fear comes from a knowing that there is something beyond death that they will have to face.
- There are also some misconceptions people have about death:
- That it is only something in the mind (i.e. Christian Science theology)
- That the way you live on is in your children, in your memory, or in the work you have done
- That death is the end and nothing exists after it or that Heaven & Hell is what you make of life here on this earth
- Reincarnation, that after you die you will come back as something else
- That after death you are finished with your body forever and your soul goes on to another existence
- Universalism, which claims that after death everyone will go on to a better place
- How are we to know the truths about death? Science cannot tell us because science can only speak of what is in this world. Sentiment cannot tell us and often begins with "I like to feel that..."
- God is the one person in the Universe who knows what happens after death and therefore our source of knowledge must be Scripture. The Biblical attitude of death is:
- Death is real
- Death is an enemy
- Death is never the end of a single person
- Beyond death there are only two destinies
- This life is decisive for which of those two destinies is ours
- Death is always followed by judgment (albeit not immediately)
- The sting of death is sin
- Death is a conquered enemy because sin has been conquered.

KG's SOUTH FORK SPECIAL
This fly was developed as a result of a combination of triggers I have found on other flies over the years. It can resemble a mayfly, a caddis or just any old bug. Once again I use chartreuse wire for the ribbing as I have had much success with this over the past several years on many of my nymph ties. I also tie this fly with a fairly fat and squatty body which may be why it appeals to caddis feeders. All I know is this is a very effective pattern, but watch out, if there are whitefish in your waters this fly seems to be like candy to them 'thus the name' South Fork Special where it is effective, too effective on the resident whitefish of that river.

CHICAGO (AP) ? A spokeswoman says Southwest Airlines has cancelled 57 flights because of a computer glitch that grounded planes for more than two hours.
Michelle Agnew says 43 of the cancellations were flights scheduled for late Friday night in the western half of the country. The other 14 were Saturday morning flights scattered across the U.S. because crews were not able to get to airports in time to make the scheduled takeoffs.
Agnew says the computer system was back to "full capacity" early Saturday. The airline had used a slower backup system after the shutdown affecting about 250 flights.
Some flights were on the taxiway and diverted back to the terminal after the problem was detected around 8 p.m. PST Friday. Flights already in the air were unaffected.

Hook-up wire is environmentally friendly, meets ROHS, WEEE requirements
Belden Inc. introduced its PPO UL AWM Hook-up Wire as an environmentally-friendly alternative to traditional PVC-insulated and XLPE-insulated hook-up wire. PPO Wire also meets or exceeds the electrical and thermal characteristics of traditional products, while being smaller in diameter, lighter in weight, stronger and more durable, the company said.
Hook-up wire is used by a broad range of OEM manufacturers and markets, including: electrical panel builders; building construction and maintenance operations; manufacturers of electrical and electronic products; computer manufacturers; and the production and assembly of appliances, furniture, automobiles, and automotive components and systems.
Belden PPO UL AWM Hook-up Wire fully meets RoHS (Restriction on Hazardous Substances) and WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) requirements because it is constructed of stranded tinned copper conductors and a Zero Halogen Polyphenylene Oxide (PPO) insulation that contains no halogens, phthalates or heavy metals. The absence of toxic materials means the product can be burned or disposed of safely without harm to people, animals or the environment. And unlike another zero halogen insulation, cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE), PPO is a fully recyclable compound.
Additional features of Belden PPO UL AWM Hook-up Wire include:
- Superior dielectric strength enables a thinner wall thickness and an OD which is up to 45 percent smaller than equivalent wires
- Electrical performance that meets or exceeds that of traditional PVC-insulated 600 V wire
- Increased flexibility and durability, with ten times better abrasion and pinch resistance than PVC-insulated wires
- Excellent thermal properties over a wide operating temperature range (-40 degrees C to +105 degrees C)
- Meets VW-1 UL 1581 flame rating requirements
- Reduced weight by up to 40 percent, due to PPO's lower specific gravity/density as compared with PVC, polyethylene (PE) and XLPE insulations
- Meets Belden's GreenChoice requirements
Belden's PPO UL AWM Hook-up Wire is available from stock in gauge sizes ranging from 28 to 10 AWG. Put-ups are 100 ft (30.5 m), 1000 ft (304.8 m) and 5000 ft (1524 m). For easy identification, the wires are color-coded in Brown, Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Violet, Gray, White, Black, Blue, and Green/Yellow.
Belden Inc. describes itself as a global provider in signal transmission solutions for mission-critical applications.

Recently on a trip to the grocers, I picked up this small packet of Asian Sichuan seasoning mix (powder form) which was tucked away in a corner beside the more popular stir-fry sauces and noodles. I also picked up some Japanese stir-fry blend from the frozen section which actually is a blend of broccoli, carrots, snowpea pods, onions and mushrooms. I knew I would be able to make a sizzling meal out of these two. I wasnt wrong! The color of the dish was just awesome, and very appetizing. We all had a very satisfying meal, thanks to the wonderful flavor imparted by the unassuming packet of seasoning mix - Szechwan (as on the packet). The stir-fry can be made vegetarian by omitting the meat, or beef can be replaced by the all-time favorite chicken or pork. Experiment with your favorite blend of vegetables and enjoy!!
Recipe (Serves 5) :
Beef - 3/4 lb, cut into strips
Sugar - 1 tsp
Soy sauce - 3 tbsp
Water - 1/4 cup
Oil - 2 tbsp
Fresh mushrooms - 1/4 lb, sliced
Bamboo shoots - 1 can, drained
Japanese stir fry mix - 8 oz, frozen **
Hot & Spicy Sichuan/Szechwan seasoning mix - 1, (3/4) oz packet
Combine the seasoning mix, sugar, soy sauce and water.
Blend and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat oil, add meat and stir-fry until browned.
Add the frozen stir-fry vegetables and saute until cooked and tender.
Toss in the sliced mushrooms and bamboo shoots, stir-fry.
Add the seasoning mxiture.
Stir fry for another minute or until thickened.
Serve the stir-fry over noodles or fried rice.
- I served the stir-fry on a bed of enriched lomein noodles.
- Chicken or pork can be substituted for beef in this recipe.
- Make a quick vegetable stir-fry by omitting the meat.
- The actual recipe called for fresh vegetables. So instead of the stir-fry vegetables blend, you can use onion (1 medium, sliced), carrots (2, sliced) and red or green bellpepper (1, sliced).
- I did not use bamboo shoots.
- Stir-fry over high heat so that the vegetables would stay crisp.
I am sending this stir-fry to the "Eat Healthy - Protein Rich" event at Sangeeth's Art of Cooking Indian Food. Check out my other entries like,

I did something really bad to my Ikelite 8" dome port this weekend. After not shooting UW for about a year I have been putting all the pieces together. We're going to Little Cayman in a few weeks. I was testing the strobes and needed to put a lens on the camera. I had the super wide port body on the big dome but instead of mounting the shorter 8 mm f/3.5 fish eye lens I put on the larger 11-22 mm f/2.8-3.5 WA zoom lens. If you shoot with Olympus you know these lenses and how different they are in size. Both lenses are great underwater but they require different port bodies. I had my DIY neoprene port cover on and couldn't see why the port body wasn't engaging with the port locks. I kept rocking and rotating the dome trying to get it to seat.
To make a long violin solo short, I ground up the inside of the dome port on the knurled lens filter, making an ugly round mark. Ouch! I felt awful and awful dumb at the same time. Please don't try to cheer me up by saying, "Duh, you should 'a known better", 'cause that won't make me feel any better. L LOL, I know I deserve it anyway. J
So Ikelite is being very helpful, as always. The acrylic dome can be replaced in my existing dome body and shade without having to buy the whole Dome Assembly new. It'll cost me about $150 instead of $400. Gee, I feel a little better already.
I thought about this polishing method but it would be really hard for me to do this evenly on the inside of the dome. My hands are too big to fit inside and if I didn't polish the whole surface evenly the dome would have anomalies in the surface that would show up as distortion.
I was stupid once too, and did the same mistake. However, i managed to polish out the scratches on the inside of the dome, so i'd recommend you to give it a try before spending another $150.
good luck! Udo

Yorane Kerignard Wins World Poker Tour Malta Main Event
On Thursday at the World Poker Tour Malta Main Event, Yorane Kerignard bested a talented six-handed final table to get his hands on the WPT Malta title, €120,000; and a $25,500 seat to the season-ending World Poker Tour World Championship.
The first elimination occurred an hour into play. Jackson Genovesi opened to 32,000 from under the gun. Then, when action got to Sampo Ryynanen, he three-bet. The flop saw Genovesi bet 85,000 and then call when Ryynanen raised to 205,000. The on the turn saw Genovesi bet 285,000 and Ryynanen quickly called. When the fell on the river Genovesi moved all-in and Ryynanen went into the tank, stayed there for 90 seconds, took a drink from his water bottle and called. Ryynanen showed but the cowboys were crushed by the in Genovesi's hand!
Mere minutes later and Zeljko Krizan followed Ryynanen to the rail. Krizan began the final table as the shortest stack and just never seemed to find a spot in which to commit his chips. He finally found that elusive spot when Alessio Isaia opened to 32,000 from under the gun and Krizan moved all-in for 102,000. Isaia quickly called and Krizan found himself in the typical coin-flip scenario.
The flop kept the Isaia's pocket threes in front but Krizan still had outs. That was until the landed on the turn to leave Krizan drawing dead. The river completed the board and with that, the game was over for Krizan, and the Main Event was down to four players.
Four became three with the exit of Hui Chen Kuo. Kerignard opened to 40,000 from the button and Kitty three-bet to 103,000. Alessio Isaia then folded his big blind and Kerignard moved all-in. Kuo called off her remaining 230,000 chips and the cards were revealed.
The first three community cards were the , giving Kerignard the spade flush draw, which was completed when fell on the turn, leaving Kuo drawing dead. The meaningless was the river card and Kuo's tournament was over.
Three-handed play lasted four 60-minute levels, during which time Isaia dropped toward the dreaded 10-big-blind stack size but then rallied again before starting a slippery slope downward. Just as Level 27 was coming to an end Isaia moved all in from the button for 475,000 and both of his opponents called. Genovesi and Kerignard checked down to the river of a board reading , Genovesi betting 200,000 on the river and forcing a fold from Keringard.
"I have a full house," said Genovesi turning over . All Isaia could muster was the and with that he was eliminated.
Going into heads-up play, Genovesi lead Kerignard by 2,850,000 to 2,222,000 chips and Genovesi opened up a small lead before Kerignard staged a comeback and then forged a two-to-one chip led for himself. Then in the 28th level of play, the final hand took place.
Genovesi opened to 125,000 and then called as Yorane Kerignard three-bet to 260,000. The flop came down and Kerignard continued with a 210,000 bet. Genovesi pondered his options for a while before moving all in for just over 1,200,000.
Kerignard removed his shades, checked his cards and smiled at Genovesi. It seemed like he honestly did not know what the best play was. He counted out the chips required to call (he would have 1,600,000 left) and stood from his seat, then knelt on the seat before sitting back down again. After almost two minutes he made the call.
"I think I got him," said Genovesi before showing , and he did indeed "have him" as Kerignard turned over .
"Just blank it out. I don't care what you do just blank it out."
Both players were on their feet, each pleading with the poker gods to let him win this hand. The dealer burned a card and put out the on the turn followed by the , gifting Kerignard the win.
"NO, NO, NO, NO! Why did it have to end like this?" sobbed a very emotional Genovesi as he stormed away from the tournament area. Within seconds he was crying, distraught at coming so close to glory in such a prestigious event. Kerignard was also overcome with emotion too and headed behind the scenes to compose himself.
Both players returned to the tournament area to shake hands and for the trophy presentation by "The Voice of Poker" Jesse May, and with that WPT Malta was brought to a thrilling conclusion.

I'll admit it: artichokes can be intimidating.
Fresh, whole artichokes involve quite a bit of work to prepare. I was in college before I ventured to taste my first canned artichoke, incorporating it into a recipe I saw on the Food Network.
I was well into my 20s before I ever dealt with a fresh artichoke. Even today, when I teach cooking classes and demonstrate how to prepare artichokes in different ways, people often question whether or not they are worth all the work. The answer is: Yes, artichokes are worth it.
When whole artichokes are picked or purchased, they consist of several parts: the stem, the bottom (and heart), several layers of tough outer leaves as well as softer center leaves, and the inedible hairy choke of pointy fibers and tough purple leaves. If allowed to bloom, the choke would be the center of a wide purple flower.
There are several ways to prepare artichokes. They can be steamed and the tender meat of the petal base dipped in butter or sauce. Artichokes can be trimmed and stuffed or utilized for the bottom and heart. However, once cut, artichokes will begin to darken, and must be submerged in lemon-water or water with a little vinegar (acidulated water) to prevent discoloration.
The internet offers many video demonstrations for artichoke preparation. Alternatively, artichoke hearts and bottoms can be purchased canned or frozen, already cooked.
To prepare and cook artichoke bottoms, snap off the stem, pulling any fibers with it. Use a knife to cut off all the large bottom leaves, leaving a cone of small, soft leaves with white bases. Cut off the cone, leaving only the bottom and choke behind. Scoop out choke and cook by steaming or simmering, or cook first and remove choke after.
To prepare and cook artichokes hearts, use a vegetable peeler to peel the fibers from the stem.
Trim off large bottom leaves, leaving a cone of small, soft leaves with white bases. Cut off the cone, removing the tops of all leaves and all dark green parts. Cut in half and use the tip of a sharp paring knife to cut out the hairy choke. Use a spoon or melon baller to remove any remaining choke. Submerge in acidulated water until ready to cook.
To prepare to be stuffed, use a vegetable peeler to peel the fibers from the stem. Snap off or trim away the large bottom leaves. Use a serrated bread knife to saw through the top inch of the leaf tips. Use force to scoop out the choke, or cut in half and use the tip of a sharp paring knife to cut out the hairy choke. Use a spoon or melon baller to remove any remaining choke. Pick out any tough leaves from within. Use your fingers to carefully open the leaves. Wedge stuffing between the leaves and in the hollowed center. Roast or steam to cook.
Crispy Stuffed Artichoke Hearts
Canola, vegetable, or peanut oil � onion, peeled and diced 1 clove garlic, peeled and minced 1 teaspoon dried Italian herb blend � cup chicken stock � cup sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil, minced 2 tablespoons pitted sliced black or kalamata olives � cup heavy cream � cup feta cheese, crumbled Fresh basil leaves, washed, dried and torn into pieces 2 (8.5 ounce) cans artichoke hearts in water, drained 2 eggs � cup milk About 2 cups all-purpose flour
Fill a wide, deep pot with 1�-2 inches of oil. Heat to about 350 degrees.
Place a large saute pan over medium-high. When hot, add enough oil to lightly coat the bottom of the pan. Add onion, garlic, dried herbs and a pinch of kosher salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions have softened, about 2 to 3 minutes.
Add chicken stock, sundried tomatoes and olives. Stir to warm through.
Add heavy cream, feta cheese and basil leaves. Fold to incorporate and heat. Season to taste with more kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper as needed.
Open each artichoke heart and fill with a few teaspoons of the filling. Use a toothpick to secure the top closed.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs and milk. Place flour in another bowl or baking dish. Line a plate or baking sheet with paper towels.
Dust each stuffed artichoke heart with flour, dip into egg mixture, then back into the flour to fully coat. Dip one more time into the egg then flour. Set aside and repeat with remaining artichokes.
Carefully lower 3 or 4 breaded artichoke hearts into the hot oil. Cook until golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon or spider, and place on the paper towel-lined plate. Immediately sprinkle with kosher salt. Serve hot or at room temperature.

Yes, fresh artichokes are worth all the trouble
I'll admit it: artichokes can be intimidating.
