Selling out......
5 comments:
Northern California builders active in the '80s who didn't sell out in no particular order: Ed Litton, Bruce Gordon, Peter Johnson, Bernie Mikkelsen, Albert Eisentraut, Steve Potts. I am sure there is a number of others.ReplyDelete

Everyone has different goals and a different vision of what they want to do with their lives and where they want to go; it depends on what you want out of life.ReplyDelete
You're very fortunate to have the career you do have. Most of us would love to be our own boss, working with our passion rather than just making a living.
The fact that you have such a small dealer network and engage in very little advertising yet are able to earn a reasonable living-you're more successful than you think...
Some didn't sell out-they just quit for one reason or another. Jeff Lindsay ended Mountian Goat in the '90's. Dale Saso is still building...the temptation to collect a paycheck instead of the randomness of self employment is always there. Waiting to get paid is pretty high on the stress-level scale for a builder.ReplyDelete

My husband used to work for a guy who owned his own pipe-organ building/rebuilding company up in Felton. I think they did about 2-3 contracts a year. Waiting to get paid was definitely stressful... there were a couple of years where he only got paid every six months- 12 paychecks and thousands of dollars at one go. Changed our perspective on budgeting for sure.ReplyDelete
Bike Ride Stories you need to check your list. Ed and Bernie are now both at least semi-retired for medical reasons. Albert hasn't built for a decade or so, it's his son now. Peter is mainly a machinist and never built that many bikes. Bruce and Steve are both still around though.ReplyDelete

Former State Police Chief Accused of Sexual Contact with Minor
Former Maine State Police Chief Andrew Demers, 73, of New Gloucester posted bail this morning and was released from Cumberland County Jail after being charged with unlawful sexual contact of a minor.
In a statement issued this morning, State Police spokesman Steve McCausland said the agency was "stunned and saddened" by news of the investigation being conducted by the Cumberland County Sheriff's Department into allegations that Demers had unlawful sexual contact with a minor under the age of 12 for the past several months.
Demers served the Maine State Police for 26 years and retired in 1993.
We will have more information as it becomes available.

Subject description: Creating a Puppy for People
Hi all,
Well I started out creating a utility stick using my favorite latest distro which would be Puppy Precise.
Along the road I've found myself not only finding a lot of clients requesting a nice recovery / utility stick, but more and more people these days that just cannot afford the latest or even recent tech stuffs.
So I've been looking into alternate options and have come up with some nice x86 architecture tech. Nothing awesome or anything, but using laptop or mini-pc type stuffs that I think I can put together for at or under about $200 bucks.
I am definitely using Puppy. So I would like input on how YOU would go about configuring for the masses.
Obviously it is pretty easy to do a little 'window dressing' just in JWM so it is a little bit prettier, I would imagine removing some of the more intimidating items from the menu would be a good idea ( moving them to an 'advanced' folder structure.
Perhpas using Bacon to create a nice lightweight 'HI!' launchpad for basic stoofs. I don't know I'm just trying to throw things against the wall to see if they stick.
I have a lot more information I'd like to share but for the first post this is already becoming a novel.
Basically, any preferences or betterments people think regarding window managers, layouts, packages to add / remove, etc. keeping the average Joe in mind. Keeping the idea of an entirely running on a stick remaster of Puppy in mind. Will be backed up to their PC, but I want them to take it anywhere with them as well.
Thanks all!!

Sounds like an interesting project. One of the more confusing aspects of Puppy is how the savefile works on frugal installations. Are you going to set the savefile up for people?
Also on that topic, I would recommend people saving personal/data files outside the savefile. So you could have a link on the desktop to a folder in /mnt/home say /mnt/home/Documents. This folder could be linked to the save dialog ready for the user just to click.
I also find PupControl is useful for having lots of things in one place.
You can edit the menu with one of the menu utilities-
Have you tried dpup exprimo squeeze - this has lots of nice little features beginners might appreciate ; -)

One thing I have never really understood is why in every Puppy version I have used that we have a /root/My_Applications directory that no PET packages ever get installed to.
And applications one makes usually do not get installed there either.
Or is it for creating links to most used applications to have them handy and the links in one place?
Others have talked about using the /OPT directory for installs of applications also.
But I have never seen that standardized either.
So just to throw out a question, do many users of Puppy actually use the /root/My_Applications directory?
I have for a few of the backup utilities that I have used to back up the pupsave file to an external device and also a pupsave restore utility I have used on occasion to restore a backup of the pupsave file.
And here is another question.
If I put an updated application in that directory that has the same name as an application that is in the normal Puppy directory tree, which one does Puppy default to when the application is a supporting one like gtkdialog?

This is one of the things I was unsure of myself. Basically the way I used the 'remaster' tool I just had my own setup of Puppy Precise all nice and tidy the way I wanted... which saved to the stick every so often and during shutdown / restart. I'm writing a shell script that also updates the save file on the HDD so there is a failsafe if one needs to boot from a fresh CD or USB.
I hadn't thought of the obvious 'external' documents/files folder. I'll look into getting that setup.
I will also look into the squeeze distro you linked to. As long as it is Debian based (I assume so by the squeeze) I'm ok. I may have used linux since the 90's but I'm still what I would consider an 'armchair user' compared to most people that contribute to forums such as these
I can do some scripting and such, but I've never gotten into the innards like I should have. So now is the time methinks.
Thank you for the input. I'm going to grab the distro now and take a look.

I can't say I've ever seen it used much for automated installs myself either, but I've used it in the past for any compiled items that I've downloaded and such.
i.e. I've used it for a 'Progam Files' folder for any non-pet / packaged programs I want to hold onto and keep them nice and neat. Or if I write up a script for tasks, etc. or download a useful one someone was nice enough to post - I drop them in there.

Puppy is great for learning how linux works, because you are root by default you can "change, break, learn" more easily
; -)
I'd recommend reading this page, especially about the layered file system-
Never used or noted
Is it for multiple users to have different apps installed?
I've sometimes used
for extra apps, like java programs.

I`ve always used /root/my-applications for stuff I`ve made and gathered.
Same as /root/my-documents has all my wallpaper, tutorials, and docs.
# See the suggestions below as to how I have them setup.
# The problem with /root is that it has so much crap in it that users shouldn`t
This is just a damn poor setup is all it amounts to...
I prefix all the links I make in /root with "0_". So: /root/0_sda1, etc.
This puts all the "user" links at the start of the ROX-Filer, easy to find.
Make links of: /root/my-applications and /root/my-documents
Make them point to a HD or USB partition so they`ll be safe from crashes.
( This is in line with darkcity`s suggestion. )
# Examples:
/root/0_my-applications => /mnt/sda3/apps
/root/0_my-documents => /mnt/sda3/docs
/root/0_my-downloads => /mnt/sda3/dnld
Make more links to dirs. on the "system" partition: /root/my-downloads
Make the browsers download path point to this link.
Open a file in many Puppy apps. and it opens to /root.
So I also put links to the partitions in /root so they`re easier to access.
For M$ Weeners converts, make links: /root/C and /root/D
# Examples:
/root/0_C => /mnt/sda1
/root/0_D => /mnt/sda3
/root/0_Home => /mnt/sda1
/root/0_sda1 => /mnt/sda1
/root/0_sda3 => /mnt/sda3
# These are the most critical things to fix about Puppy, there are others.

Hi all,
I use
directory for all of my
standalone applications.
These programs require no installation as such, and most are cross-platform... so they don't belong in the usual directories that are part in parcel with the Unix layout. So, it's where I keep a few Java based apps, and others such as:
Checksums Calculator
found here
which is already compiled in Pascal.
is pronounced: "mun-see". Derived from my surname, it was my nickname throughout high school.

Nice idea with the '0_XXX' directory links. I'll dink around with that today. I never even considered making a C / D reference for Windoze peops... now that's an interesting idea!
Messed around with dpup... I like it. Latest kernel doesn't work with the current package listed nvidia stoofs so I'm gonna have to lookup the sources for those (just for my machine).
Anyone have any ideas on getting Vesa driver to support larger screen resolutions? Or somehow stretch to fit? One thing I'm not a guru in is graphics. I'd like to get whatever I package together to have the most universal video support possible. (People can customize drivers if they want -> but it would be nice if they could at least have fullscreen)
Currently when I load any version of Puppy, I have a 21" acer and it loads 1280 x 1024 I believe and won't show any higher resolution options. Leaves a huge black border around everything. I think native rez is 1920 x 1080...
I don't know if this is a limitation of the Vesa driver or a limitation of my video card to interpret and stretch the displayed resolution?
Thanks for all the great suggestions so far!

Yep I sure have. I've run from shell, manually chosen vesa and various resolutions... nothing above 1280 x 1024 works. I have a feeling it is probably just due to a picky video card. GeForce 550 Ti - It works great in Precise, but I can't get it to work at all in dpup. There is a mismatch between kernel version and nvidia drivers in the package manager. I've tried downloading the best working driver (works well in Mint anyway) and building it under Puppy dpup, but I'm just having no luck at all getting all my dependencies together.
Not to mention I'm just making it HUGE by doing so grabbing all the headers, etc. I need and I don't have the experience to safely remove everything when I do get it all figured out. Just have to wait on an updated .pet for new kernel for nvidia drivers.
Anyway - long winded version of I think that the fact my video card will not work even fullscreen without the nvidia package, and has to use the acpi=off to even load x at all without them (vesa mode) tells me it's probably just my setup. I have no problems with my netbook, laptop, Dell server, etc. (they all have standard onboard video cards and it stretches fullscreen on them when I think about it)

Linus Torvalds did put up the middle finger to nVidia...
They responded that they will have better Linux support in the future.
Has anyone seen anything improve about nVidia`s driver support?
Haplo; Like M$ and most Puppies I`ve tried, the new one is the focus.
Just download a different Puppy derivative and see if it works properly.
I had great hopes for PrecisePup5.4, but it`s been an odd rash of failures.

Yeah I have had the best success with compatibility so far using Precise... Also I have the benefit of all these last few years being a Mint, Ubuntu, Debian user (going backward in time...)
To think I started out on SuSe 4.3... sheesh you had to recompile just to add some module or other! I don't know how many times I had to start completely over after adding something. LOL
Anyway, I agree. There are so many variants of Puppy it is hard to know where to begin. I am going to grab several tonight and start wading through the maze. I'll just have to find out which ones 'take to' the features I'm looking for the most
Thanks all,

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — The head of the Arkansas Forestry Commission faced scrutiny from several lawmakers Wednesday after Gov. Mike Beebe's office said he would ask legislators to give the financially troubled agency $2.7 million to stretch it through the end of the fiscal year.
Financial problems led the agency to lay off 36 workers this month, and during a legislative meeting, some lawmakers questioned whether the additional money would prevent the commission from ending up in the red again.
"If we give you an additional bailout ... what confidence do we have that there are going to be differences in your spending habits with your agency?" Sen. Missy Irvin, R-Mountain View, asked John Shannon, the Forestry Commission's director.
Shannon went over some of the agency's expenses and stressed that going forward, borrowing money will not be an option.
Beebe's office said Tuesday that he will ask lawmakers when the legislative session begins in February to use money from the state's surplus to keep the agency solvent and to repay federal grants that it had been improperly using to bolster its budget.
The request will include $1.2 million that the state owes the U.S. Forest Service for grants that Beebe's office said the commission improperly used to pay for its operations over the past four years. The additional money won't prevent the layoffs that take effect Jan. 13.
"What would happen to the agency if you didn't get that money to see you through to the end of the year?" asked Rep. Stephen Meeks, R-Greenbrier.
Tim Leathers, the deputy director for the state's finance department, said that without additional funds, there would be "very dramatic cuts" to the forestry commission, which employs about 300 people and oversees fire protection and conservation in the state's forest.
"We would be at great risk for having a lot of fire problems," Leathers said.
In announcing the pending layoffs, the agency initially said a drop in timber sales and severance tax revenue caused its $4 million shortfall.
But on Wednesday, lawmakers echoed criticism voiced by the governor's office, which said the commission's misuse of federal money exacerbated the problem.

Big data has become a big deal, and it's causing many organizations to ask, "Does big data equal big value for my business—or is it mostly big hype?" "What differentiates the big data programs that generate value from those that do not?" and "Just how much value can big data achieve?" The answers to these questions might surprise you.
BCG teamed up with Amazon to quantify the benefits of using big data. The survey, which studied 167 companies in five sectors, examined what differentiates the leaders from the rest of the pack and explored how they gain competitive advantage from big data analytics.
The survey showed that leaders in big data generate an average of 12% more revenue than those that do not maximize their use of analytics. Leaders also have faster growth rates and a greater ability to innovate than their peers do.

Please call 1 (714) 520-5060 to book your vacation. Guests under age 18 must have parent or guardian permission to call.
Cruise the scenic Rivers of America aboard the Mark Twain and take a gander at life in the U.S. over a century ago.
All Aboard!
Cast off on a scenic half-mile adventure into the wilds of old America aboard a steam-powered paddler. Board the 19th-century-inspired Mark Twain riverboat nestled in the heart of Frontierland and embark on a relaxing sightseeing voyage around Pirate's Lair on Tom Sawyer Island.
Sights to See
During this charming, 14-minute journey into America's early frontier, sharp-eyed explorers can observe a menagerie of sights along the river's edge, including:
Along the way, listen to lively narration about a time when traveling was as much about new discoveries as it was about transportation.
Alternate Adventures
While you'll get a very unique perspective of the Rivers of America from the Mark Twain Riverboat, the attraction follows the same path as Davy Crockett's Explorer Canoes and the Sailing Ship Columbia.
Ship Shape
The Mark Twain is a working reproduction of the historic vessels that ferried people up and down the mighty Mississippi. An actual working steam engine converts the water from the Rivers of America into steam that in turn powers the large paddle that propels the boat.
On the Riverboat
Featuring meticulously detailed wood craftsmanship, the 28-foot tall, 105-foot-long vessel is comprised of 4 pristine decks:
Limited seating is available on the first deck.
Travel back to the past while moving full steam ahead on the Mark Twain!
All In the Name
Walt Disney named the Mark Twain after the pen name of Samuel Langhorne Clemens. One of America's greatest writers and Walt's personal hero, Clemens was a riverboat pilot as a young man. That experience inspired his pen name: "mark twain" is a riverboat term that means a vessel is at a safe depth.

Saluda native Jerry Russell remembers that as a boy during World War II, he "stood by the railroad tracks and watched trainloads of soldiers come through," among them his father.
Saluda native Jerry Russell remembers that as a boy during World War II, he "stood by the railroad tracks and watched trainloads of soldiers come through," among them his father. Many years later when he and other veterans wanted a memorial downtown, Veterans Memorial Park evolved — from his fundraising efforts and, he said, with the blessing and help of city officials — on that same spot where he once stood watching the trains.
Not one to make waves, he said, Russell, a retired educator, feels he has been left no choice these days but to do just that ever since a sign he had made and put up was taken down by city officials.
It all began about two months ago when — with the city's permission, he thought — Russell had a sign reading "Saluda–A Veteran Friendly City" placed at the intersection of Ozone Drive and U.S. Highway 176 where a town entrance sign stands. Property there is within the city limits but is a right-of-way for state-maintained Highway 176. Russell consulted the N.C. Department of Transportation, he said, as to their requirements for the sign before having it made.
Russell showed him the sign, Mayor Fred Baisden said, and Baisden provided him with a post that he already had. Baisden said he told Russell, "I don't have a problem with the sign personally as long as it meets requirements," and suggested that it be put in Veterans Memorial Park. He told him to contact City Administrator Erny Williams about having the sign erected. When Baisden next saw the sign, it had been placed at the town's entrance.
According to Williams, he informed Russell before they put up the sign that the town was in the process of reviewing its sign ordinance and that the sign could stay there unless the board of commissioners had a problem with it or there was a complaint. While the city seeks to fill the position of zoning administrator, Williams has added those duties to his own.
Baisden said the town was "run loosely" for 50 years, and that there are signs up now that should not be there.
Some time during the week of Feb. 10 when it had snowed, Russell noticed the sign was gone and found out that Williams had taken it down and placed it in the back of Russell's truck where it has remained since, he said.
Russell said he heard that a business owner who had not been allowed in the past to put up a sign downtown complained about the sign. Commissioner Leon Morgan and Baisden both confirmed that there was a complaint from a business owner. According to Williams, a complaint at a commissioners meeting led to the sign's removal.
"I believe, in this day and time," Russell said, "no matter how good a thing is, somebody is going to complain."
Commissioner Carolyn Ashburn said questions arose at a meeting as to whether Russell had gone through proper channels.
"Most signs just cannot be erected without some sort of approval," she said, adding that she's concerned that this not become an issue pitting the city against its veterans.
"We're not against veterans," she said. "We're against unnecessary signs."
For his part, Russell believes a sign honoring veterans is not the same as one advertising a business.
"It's not a commercial sign," he said of the 2-foot-by-3-foot sign with black letters on a white background.
He does not think it's good policy for officials to make a decision without a specific reason.
"They'll have to learn sooner or later," he said, "that they can't just act on complaints."
Section 11 (Signs on Public Property) of the city's current sign ordinance states: "All signs which are erected upon or over any public street, public right-of-way or other public property shall not exceed 2 square feet per side and shall be approved by the Board of Commissioners."
Baisden said it's possible the issue could be voted on at the next commissioners meeting if the board wants to put it to vote. He does worry, however, that making an exception for one will mean having to make exceptions for others. He is optimistic a solution will be found.
Morgan, a Vietnam veteran, had praise for Russell's efforts at Veterans Memorial Park and the Veterans Day celebration he organizes there every year.
"I think the sign should be left up," Morgan said. "If it comes to a vote, I will vote to leave it up."
Russell said he had been approached by another board member in favor of the sign.
The commissioners' meeting will be held at 7 p.m. March 10 at Saluda Public Library. Russell is on the agenda to speak about the sign and said he has heard from many regional veterans who plan to be there to show support.
He was asked by city officials three times to have the issue put on the agenda, he said, before he agreed.
"I didn't want to do this," he said of speaking out at the meeting, "but it was forced on me. I'm going to speak my mind and go home."

We have been finding orange smudges in our son's urine-only diapers, what is causing this? This is not in every diaper but maybe 2 or 3 in a week. Should we be worried?
Dr. Greene's Answer:
Orange smudges are usually urate crystals. They are normal, soft, like tiny cubes of Jell-O — sometimes smushed, and sometimes confused with drops of blood in the diaper.
These are more common when kids are a bit dehydrated, but they can show up in healthy babies at anytime.
It just comes from having lots of urate in the urine. Sometimes orange food or some medications (such as rifampin or phenazopyridine (Pyridium)) can also be the culprit for orange smudges in the diaper.

William Shatner will atend ceremony for the USS Enterprise
From 1966-69, Capt. James T. Kirk piloted the starship USS Enterprise (NCC-1701).
On Saturday at the Norfolk Naval Station, William Shatner - the actor who played Kirk - will attend the inactivation ceremony for the aircraft carrier USS Enterprise (CVN-65).
I'm sorry, but that's so damn cool it hurts... Yes, I know, Shatner's Canadian, blah blah blah. Shut up. ENTERPRISE. Hello? How freaking cool is it that Captain James Tiberius Kirk will be on hand for the final voyage of the warship Enterprise? The man who commanded a fictional starship will be on hand for the final run of the first nuclear powered aircraft carrier.
I can't stop geekin' out here!
That is all.

Flooding brings tales of rescues, improvisation
BOULDER, Colo. (AP) — As people came down from the flooded foothills of the Colorado Rockies, they brought tales of dramatic rescues, heartbreaking loss and neighbors coming together to protect their families and homes. Here are a few of their stories:
Emma Hardy's husband woke her up Wednesday night to say a well-loved neighbor had been killed by a mudslide that crushed his Jamestown home. From that point on, the 46-year-old artist and her family were in constant motion, knocking on doors and trying to get people out.
But within hours, a new, impassable river formed and bisected the town.
"It was totally biblical," Hardy said. "And then it just started getting worse and worse."
They watched a 10-foot-high culvert smash their deck. By the time the rain slowed, the house was in the water, but, Hardy made sure to point out, "still standing."
A rental property Hardy owned was completely washed away.
"It's the river's house now," a neighbor observed outside an evacuation drop-off point at a high school.
Like many Jamestown residents, Hardy said she did not begin to process the scale of the disaster until she was flying away from the town.
"When you're bailing out buckets of water, you're not really thinking about anything. Now it's starting to sink in," she said.
The creek outside Terry Kishiyama's home just outside Lyons washed away the family's drinking well and much of their land.
"The river was just getting higher and higher to the point where we thought we were going to die," he said after walking off a school bus of evacuees. "You couldn't even talk because it was so loud."
Kishiyama, his wife, 5-year-old son and 1-year-old daughter hiked to a neighbor's house on higher ground. They shared a single toothbrush as they waited several days for rescue. Helicopters flew by in the distance, though none came near their location until Saturday morning.
Then, a military helicopter appeared across the river. Kishiyama's son whipped off his orange T-shirt and waved it over his head.
His wife shouted, "We have babies!"
Kishiyama made eye contact with the pilot. Finally, he knew they would be safe.
Residents along Gregory Creek near Boulder joined with students from the nearby University of Colorado in a frantic effort to save homes.
They raided each other's yards for flagstones, filled garbage bags with sand and used whatever else they could to make berms and divert the water away from the houses. Along the alley, which had turned into a fast-moving river, they strung a rope so they could safely maneuver.
The diversion tactics worked. Many of the homes had basement flooding, and some kitchens were damaged, but all the houses remained intact.
A conflict arose Saturday when city crews with dump trucks and front-end loaders showed up to remove some of the residents' handiwork. After some protests from homeowners, the crews left many of the diversion berms in place.
"People are extremely relieved, but we're not out of it yet," Charles Corfield said.
At Ted's Place, a convenience store at the entrance to Poudre Canyon west of Fort Collins, dark clouds gathered Saturday afternoon with the threat of more rain. Michael Sronce made his way down from his home in the canyon to get milk and bread for a neighbor with seven children.
"There's a lot of people up there who need food and need to get out," he said.
He and his wife had initially been told to evacuate but couldn't because the river was flowing over the bridge to their house. On Saturday, Sronce was able to get down the road to the convenience store, stopping short of a traffic checkpoint and walking the rest of the way so he wouldn't be kept from returning to his home if he drove past the checkpoint.
"These trees were coming down the river and would hit the abutment to the bridge, and the earth would shake. So much power," Sronce said.
Sronce endured major flooding and runoff in the area two years ago, but said the water this time was 3 to 4 feet higher.
For a group of grinning, super-fit men and women, the flooding offered a real-life test of the skills they were learning in a wilderness survival course at a campground.
As they got off a school bus Saturday, the happy campers shouted boasts among themselves about how long they could have lasted in the wild.
"There were rabbits around. There were fish in the pond, water — you just make a charcoal filter and boil it," said Norwell Therien, who wore camouflage cargo shorts and several earrings and is starting an emergency preparedness company. "We could have been up there for the two weeks they speculated it would take to fix the roads without problem. I would have been cool with it."
The torrential rain became a lesson in how to deal with washed-out trails.
"With our background in survival, we were perfectly content to just continue our class. We were all taking notes in the rain." Therien said. "I had already begun scouting out where you might find a rabbit or where the deer might come."

* emerge -v --syncThis updates ebuilds.
* emerge -pv --deep --newuse --update worldThis gives a list of changes that shall be made. In case, there is change of USE flags, this command will detect the packages that need to be reinstalled.
This unique updating method keeps Gentoo users at cutting edge of technology. However, there are some drawbacks. A dependency resolution problem occurs when a particular package has been stabilized; but some of its dependencies are not. In this case, portage complains that the dependencies are masked. This is what happened to me last night.
emerge -pv --deep --newuse --update world
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies... done!
!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy ">=x11-libs/qscintilla-2.4[python]" have been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
- x11-libs/qscintilla-2.4 (masked by: ~x86 keyword)
For more information, see the MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge
man page or refer to the Gentoo Handbook.
(dependency required by "dev-python/PyQt-3.18.1" [ebuild])
(dependency required by "media-sound/amarok-1.4.10_p20090130-r3" [installed])
(dependency required by "world" [argument])
I checked out with people at #gentoo channel on IRC. The discussion could not solve the issue. I decided to postpone the update and got back to work. After about 3 hours, I synced again. The dependency problem wasn't solved. I had not installed any masked packages and PyQt wasn't also present in package.keywords. I was just hoping the incremental releases had got into a situation I described earlier as a drawback of the Gentoo update system. So, I postponed the update till morning.
Today morning, when I synced I noticed a change in PyQt ebuild. When I ran a pretended update, I got the following list of updates.
emerge -pv --deep --newuse --update world
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Total: 16 packages (14 upgrades, 1 new, 1 in new slot), Size of downloads: 54,653 kB
My patience finally paid off. However, it would be wrong on your part to take the impression that this is general drawback of the Gentoo release system. That is because I am using KDE 3.5.10, which does not have upstream support any more. Unless you are in such an odd situation like me, Gentoo is a nice way of getting fine-tuned cutting edge software.
P.S.: A Gentoo forums thread clarifies that this is not a singular case.

The Lady Bucs have been led by junior striker Ramey Kerns (Kings Mountain, N.C.) and freshman midfielder Sarah Zadrazil (St. Gilgen, Austria), as both continue to put up big numbers into the second half of the season. Kerns comes off her third A-Sun Player of the Week selection of the season after netting three goals in two conference games last weekend, tying Erin Ashton's school record for goals in a season (12). Kerns is currently second nationally in goals, goals per game (1.20) and points per game (2.70), while ranking fourth in the country in points (27). Zadrazil, who created ETSU's goal against FGCU by getting fouled in the penalty area, entered the week tied for third in the nation in assists (7) and tied for fifth in assists per game (.70).
As a team, the Lady Bucs boast one of the nation's top 50 scoring offenses at 2.10 goals per game. ETSU has scored 21 goals in 10 games, with its highest output coming Sept. 9 in the 4-2 win against Winthrop.
ETSU's Last Outing
ETSU began conference play at home, splitting matchups with Stetson and Florida Gulf Coast. In the conference opener on Friday versus the Hatters, Kerns scored just 5:18 into the game, netting ETSU's earliest goal in over a year. She padded the Lady Buc lead in the 70th minute, before sophomore Kristi Davis (Edmond, Okla.) but away all doubt with her second goal of the year with 10 minutes to play.
On Sunday against last year's A-Sun Tournament champion, ETSU took a lead in the 64th minute after Zadrazil moved into the box and was fouled from behind to draw a penalty. Kerns stepped up and converted her second penalty kick of the year, but the lead did not hold as FGCU's Shannen Wacker scored in the 76th and 77th minutes to jump the Eagles on top for good.
Scouting the Owls
KSU opened conference play with local rival Mercer last Saturday, playing the Bears to a, 1-1, draw. Friday's game with the Lady Bucs will be the Owls' third straight at home, as they opened the home stand on Sept. 16, falling to UT Martin, 2-0.
Danielle Gray leads the Owl attack with five goals and two assists to her name. Those numbers give her the team lead in goals, assists and points (12), as she sits two points ahead of Katrina Frost's four goals and two assists. Frost was the lone Owl goal scorer against Mercer, netting the equalizer in the 89th minute of play.
Scouting the Bears
Mercer is riding a four-game unbeaten streak, which began Sept. 9 with a 7-0 beat down of Alcorn State. Since then, the Bears have defeated Jacksonville State, 2-1, and Troy, 4-1, before starting conference play with the draw to KSU.
Lauren Gassie has scored five of Mercer's A-Sun leading 24 goals, and added three assists to lead the team with 13 points. Sydney Brogden has found the back of the net three times, with Casey Barrett, Danielle Hesse, MacKenzie Stewart and Brianna Stampler all holding two goals.
Series History
Friday's meeting will be the 10th all-time between ETSU and Kennesaw State, with the Owls leading the series 4-2-3. Last year, the two sides played to a draw, 1-1, on the final weekend of conference play.
ETSU and Mercer have met eight times in series history, with Mercer holding a 5-2-1 advantage. The Lady Bucs defeated the Bears in last year's regular season finale to clinch their first share of a conference title in program history, but Mercer got its revenge with a 1-0 win in double overtime in the A-Sun semifinals.
Live stats will be available for both weekend games. Friday's live stats can be found on KSUOwls.com, with Sunday's on MercerBears.com.
ETSU Notes
- Ramey Kerns has 12 goals and 27 points this season to rank second in goals, goals per game and points per game. She is also No. 4 in total points.
- Sarah Zadrazil's seven assists rank her in a tie for third in the nation in assists and tied for fifth in assists per game.
- ETSU's 21 goals in 10 games rank them inside the NCAA's top 50 scoring offenses (2.10 goals per game).
- In the NCAA's first RPI of the 2012 season, ETSU is No. 110, Mercer is No. 169 and Kennesaw State is No. 185.

Looks like the rumors were true and Apple is finally set to replace the aging, WindowsCE + stylus based EasyPay point-of-sale devices used by the retail store staff with sexy new credit card reading, barcode scanning iPod touches. Apple will be using the same accessory access APIs supplied to developers in the iPhone 3.0 SDK.
AppleInsider reports that a trial is now being run at the closest Apple Store to the Cupertino Headquarters, the Valley Fair Mall in Santa Clara, but hopefully the rest of Apple Retail will be able to enjoy the cool new gadgets sometime in the near future as well.
IFOAppleStore confirms the switch to iPod touch EasyPay, and adds that Apple will also be ditching the color-coded shirts used to distinguish different types of staff. (Not because Microsoft iCloned them but because they were ultimately more confusing than helpful to customers).

Answer: This 71-year-old game show host snapped his Achilles tendon while chasing a criminal through a San Francisco hotel this morning.
Question: Who is Alex "DESTROYER OF EVIL" Trebek!!!!!!!!!!!?!?!?!?!!?
Trebek -- perhaps the greatest Canadian who ever lived -- crutched his way into the National Geographic World Championship at Google headquarters in CA today and explained he was trying to catch a burglar when the injury occurred.
Trebek says he's feeling OK.
It's unclear if the suspect was ever captured ... or what he allegedly stole ... but we're willing to wager that Alex won't rest until JUSTICE is served!!!!
UPDATE: The suspect has been ARRESTED ... and according to ABC7 in SF ... the alleged bad guy is actually an alleged bad girl.
Cops say a 56-year-old woman was booked on felony burglary and possession of stolen property after allegedly entering Trebek's room and taking cash and a bracelet his mother gave him ... and then stashing it near an ice machine on Trebek's floor.
Trebek injured himself while chasing the woman down the hallway.
Thanks to our friends at Patch.com for the pic.

I sat down for a quick interview this week with the blog Hall Ready. Well – that's not exactly the truth – I actually sat down with my computer and answered a few questions sent to me via email. Somehow pretending I was interviewed in a studio with lights and cameras sounds more romantic than just typing out a few quick answers.
Kate Shaw, a photographer, writes the blog Hall Ready which has a very interesting premise: it is dedicated to showing how best to show art in the home. Shaw writes about purchasing art, framing it, and hanging it. So naturally my interview centered around art in my home (of which I have very very little!)
Look Ma – no art!!!! Hall Ready ask me what was the newest piece of art work I had hanging in my house: it's my antique French barometer purchased on 1st Dibs.
Antique mirror: Hall Ready asked me what was the artwork I've owned for the longest period of time. The answer is this mirror that once hung in my parents house.

Perry v. New Hampshire
Up for discussion today in the Community is the pending case Perry v. New Hampshire, set for oral argument on November 2. At issue in the case is whether the Due Process Clause forbids the use of all eyewitness identifications that are made under suggestive (and therefore perhaps unreliable) circumstances, or only identifications obtained as a result of suggestive circumstances orchestrated by the police. The case takes on a degree of heightened interest insofar as (1) the Court has not addressed eyewitness identifications since 1977 (Manson v. Braithwaite); and (2) substantial evidence has mounted in recent years concerning potential problems with the reliability of eyewitness testimony.
We look forward to your discussion on the topics below.

In this thread, discuss whether you think there are particular aspects to this case or to eyewitness identification evidence generally that you believe warrant particular attention from the press or legal community?
Brandon Garrett – 1 Promoted Comment
For the first time in 34 years, the U.S. Supreme Court has taken a case dealing with eyewitness identifications. The Court has not revisited the due process test set out in in 1977 in Manson v. Brathwaite, a test that three decades of socials science research has shown to be deeply flawed. There the Court held that even if police use suggestive procedures in a lineup, due process does not require exclusion of the eyewitness identification if it is nevertheless "reliable." We now know how fragile and malleable eyewitness memory is. Lineups are experiments, and they can be replicated in the lab and in the field. A massive body of studies has shown how the "reliability" factors that the Court enumerated do not independently correspond with reliability at all, and instead are powerfully dependent on police suggestion. Take the well-known DNA exoneration of Ronald Cotton. The victim in the case, Jennifer-Thompson Cannino (who has signed an amicus brief in Perry) has spoken about how she came to misidentify Cotton – repeating him in a second lineup and comments that detectives made were suggestive but not intentionally so – and they also dramatically increased her confidence – even though she was wrong.
Yet not only does the Court's "reliability" test place undue value on eyewitness confidence, which may be false confidence that resulted from suggestion, but jurors also place great weight on the certainty of an eyewitness.
Nothing has made the consequences of eyewitness misidentifications more salient than high-profile cases in which DNA exonerated an innocent person. Of the first 250 such DNA exonerations, 76 percent involved eyewitness misidentifications. When writing my book, "Convicting the Innocent," I went back and read the criminal trials of those DNA exonerees. I found that in court, eyewitnesses were almost without exception certain that they had picked the right person. Yet they were wrong. Unsound and suggestive identification procedures most likely played a troubling role in generating their false confidence, including a series of show-up identifications where witnesses were shown single suspects or single photos.
The case before the Court this term, Perry v. New Hampshire, however, may be the wrong case on the wrong issue. The question raised goes to a requirement of state action. The officers in the Perry case apparently did not mean to orchestrate a suggestive show-up identification, where the eyewitness saw only the suspect standing in the parking lot where a robbery took place. However, in my view, there was state action where the police told the suspect to stand there – next to an officer – while they went to speak with the eyewitness. Unintentionally suggestive circumstances, whatever their source, can powerfully affect an eyewitness. That is particular the case where, like here, the identification was made in a show-up, in which the eyewitness saw a single suspect – in such circumstances, "almost any apparent connection between the police and a suspect" may have a dramatic effect, as the American Psychological Association describes in their amicus brief. The due process question should be whether an eyewitness identification can be excluded on the ground that it is unreliable. It would be quite perverse if faulty evidence of so-called "reliability" could excuse police suggestion which can dramatically affect the memory of an eyewitness, but outright unreliable eyewitness identifications raised no due process problem at all. It would be still more troubling if show-up identifications, posing particular great risks of error, could be excluded from due process protection so long as police did not try to arrange it carefully. After all, the "primary evil to be avoided" is the heightened likelihood of a misidentification. Neil v. Biggers, 409 U.S. 188, 198 (1972).
In one state, the much-needed complete overhaul has just happened. The Henderson decision in New Jersey has already provided a comprehensive social science framework for regulating eyewitness identifications. That decision provides a careful description of the social science and a list of factors corresponding to the research to guide judges in pre-trial reliability hearings and jurors in detailed instructions at trial. New Jersey has long had in place sound lineup practices, as well, including the most important reform – blind lineups where the administrator does not know which is the suspect and cannot, even unconsciously, distort the process. New Jersey now provides a national model for how to get eyewitness identifications right, in and out of the courtroom.
It is incredibly important that police use sound lineup practices in the first instance – and that factors that actually correspond to reliability be used to evaluate identification evidence. Shoddy identification procedures let the guilty go free and can lead to convictions of the innocent. The current due process test is in need of a complete overhaul – but whether the Supreme Court will intervene remains doubtful given what we have seen over the past 34 years.

A couple of thoughts.
1. The problems with eyewitness identification mostly revolve around faulty lineup (or showup) procedures, which are not at issue in this case. Here the eyewitness ID occurred in the streets. It's not really clear what the police could, or should, have done differently here. You get mugged on the street; moments later, the cops grab someone and (holding the suspect in cuffs) ask you if this is the guy. Are we really going to say this is improper?
2. This is not of course to deny the serious reliability concerns in this case. But what is the right remedy? Exclusion of the evidence? Instructing the jury on the hazards or eyewitness ID? Having an expert witness testify about those hazards?
Bruce Hay – 1 Promoted Comment
One other thing: the "state action" issue seems to me to be a laughable canard. The state is putting someone in jail using this witness's testimony. Tell me with a straight face there is no state action.
Sherry Colb – 1 Promoted Comment
Here's a question that deserves some consideration: is the right at issue one against the introduction of evidence, or one against police misbehavior?
On the petitioner's approach, the right at issue guards against the introduction of highly unreliable evidence, rather than against police misbehavior. As the petitioner explains in his brief in Perry, we keep out such evidence in order to protect the evidentiary integrity of the trial, not to deter police misconduct. Unlike the Fourth Amendment exclusionary rule, Perry argues, the due process right is a trial right, and the governmental conduct that triggers the Constitution's application is thus the government's introduction at trial of unreliable evidence arising from a suggestive identification procedure, not police use of a suggestive identification procedure.
This argument is powerful in one sense, because the Court has specifically stated that "[i]t is the likelihood of misidentification that violates a defendant's right to Due Process." If that is so, then the police officers' lack of culpability would seem immaterial to the violation. After all, if we want to avoid false convictions, our focus is appropriately on the conditions under which innocent people are likely to be convicted, rather than on whether the police conducted themselves in a culpable manner.
The difficulty in making this argument successfully, however, is that a ruling for the defendant would call into question much of the evidence that is currently—and, it has been thought, legally—introduced at criminal trials. If the government violates the defendant's due process rights simply by introducing unreliable evidence, then many government witnesses will be constitutionally barred from testifying.

There is something odd about this case being the chosen vehicle for exploring the issue of suggestive identifications. This identification is not suggestive in a way that would warrant excluding it under any reasonable standard. The witness was being interviewed by a police officer in her upstairs apartment. When asked to describe the perpetrator, she spontaneously went over to the window and identified Perry, who was standing in the parking lot below with another officer. Perry was not handcuffed or otherwise visibly under arrest. (He was not, in fact, under arrest at that point.) Nothing in the scene suggested that Perry was the perpetrator rather than another witness. He was merely standing with a police officer, as the witness herself was.
The witness did not get a good enough look at Perry to identify him by facial features. She could not pick him out of a lineup later. So she apparently identified him by his overall height and build as well as his color and likely his clothing. Later she could not identify the clothing, but later memory is not the same as fresh identification.
There is nothing wrong with this identification that would justify excluding it from evidence. It was not suggestive in the way that prior cases in the identification line were, where some artificial suggestion that the suspect is the perpetrator is introduced. This is not a case where suggestion is introduced by a third party, such as another witness, rather than the police. This is a case of no suggestion at all.
The weaknesses in the identification go to weight, not admissibility, and are proper subjects for argument to the jury.
Another odd thing about the choice of this case as the vehicle is that it is not the kind of case the defense so often complains about, where the challenged identification is the only evidence linking the defendant to the crime. Quite the contrary, the other evidence in this case would be sufficient to convince most jurors beyond a reasonable doubt without the challenged identification.
Perry was caught loot-handed by a police officer in the parking lot right after the auto burglary. He was identified by another, unchallenged witness as the person walking around the parking lot testing door handles shortly before. Along with other evidence, described in part IV of CJLF's brief, most jurors would likely have voted to convict without the challenged identification. (The prosecution cannot rest on what most people would decide, of course. In high profile cases both recently and remotely, we have seen defendants acquitted when most observers were convinced they were guilty.) This is not a case where the Court will be bothered by the possibility an innocent man was convicted.

I agree, bad vehicle. The problem is the NH SCt expressly disagreed with the 1st Circuit on the applicable standard.

In this thread, discuss what you think the Court should do in Perry, and why? (That is, do you think the Due Process Clause forbids all eyewitness identifications made under suggestive circumstances, or only those where the suggestive circumstances were orchestrated by police?)
Tom McCarthy and Samuel Gedge – 1 Promoted Comment
The Supreme Court should reject Petitioner's effort to create a new substantive due process right to the exclusion of unreliable eyewitness identification evidence. There simply is no reason for the Court to fashion a new rule of constitutional law that would
eliminate the "improper state action" requirement from a due process challenge to the admission of eyewitness identification evidence. To do so would transform every routine question of reliability into an issue of constitutional magnitude. This is wholly unnecessary given the ample safeguards in federal and state law that protect against the admission of unreliable eyewitness identification evidence. The Constitution establishes an adversarial system that affords criminal defendants the right to counsel and the right to trial by jury and, through the Confrontation Clause, ensures that all testimony will be subject to testing "in the crucible of cross-examination." Crawford v. Washington. Federal and state evidentiary rules provide further protection; indeed the Court has emphasized that reliability "is a matter to be governed by the evidentiary laws of the forum … and not by the Due Process Clause." Connelly v. Colorado.
Ultimately, questions of reliability are best left to the collective wisdom and common sense of the jury, "for evidence with some element of untrustworthiness is customary grist for the jury mill." Manson v. Brathwaite. There is no reason to assume that a well-instructed jury cannot properly and intelligently evaluate eyewitness identification testimony. Especially not in this case. The trial court gave the jury a Telfaire-type instruction, and the jury gave some of the State's proffered evidence more weight and some less—finding Petitioner guilty on one court and acquitting him on the other.

What do you think the Court actually will do in Perry, and why?
David Siegel – 1 Promoted Comment
Perry raises two different types of questions: (1) Does due process require consideration of a fact-finding procedure's quality at trial regardless of its source and (2) Should the Court re-examine its "reliability" jurisprudence for due process challenges to unnecessarily suggestive identifications in light of three decades of social science research that contradicts it? While the answer to the second question may well be an emphatic "yes" (argued in amicus briefs of the American Psychological Association and the National Innocence Network inviting the Court to consider the shortcomings of the Biggers factors adopted in Manson v. Brathwaite, 432 U.S. 98 (1976)), the Court will very likely will not reach it as it seems unlikely a majority will answer "yes" to the first question. The Court's holdings that certain limits on the fact finding procedure violate due process, such as inflexible hearsay prohibitions on exculpatory third party confessions in Chambers v. Mississippi, 410 U.S. 284 (1973) or blanket exclusions of hypnotically-refreshed testimony by a defendant in Rock v. Arkansas, 483 U.S. 44 (1987), stand out from more common rejections of fundamental fairness challenges to the operation of the trial process unless it impairs some other constitutional right. It's especially unfortunate that this case reaches the Court now – just when state supreme courts are repudiating the Manson factors in favor of hearings whenever an identification is suggestive, State v. Henderson, 2011 WL 3715028, 208 N.J. 208 (N.J., 8/24/2011) – even when there was no police involvement. State v. Chen, 2011 WL 4406321, 208 N.J. 307 (N.J., 8/24/2011) (if identification is "highly suggestive").
Sandra Guerra Thompson – 1 Promoted Comment
The exoneration of hundreds of wrongly convicted people—most of whom were misidentified by eyewitnesses–cries out for improved regulation of eyewitness identification procedures. Decades ago, the Supreme Court announced rules that have made it almost impossible for any defendant to get even patently unreliable identifications excluded, as I have shown in an empirical study (http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=1515974) . The Court has since ignored this area of law for over 30 years. The Court's recent decision to revisit the issue of suggestiveness in identification evidence has inspired a groundswell of hope that the Court is prepared to take reliability seriously and toss the scientifically flawed and toothless test it had previously adopted.
Unfortunately, Perry is not likely to bring about critical changes itself, but it has the potential to be a watershed case anyway. The question is whether due process protections of unreliable identification evidence apply to all identifications made under suggestive circumstances, or only when the suggestive circumstances were orchestrated by the police. The problem of private party suggestiveness in Perry applies in a very limited a field of cases as most of suggestiveness involves police suggestiveness. If the Court holds that due process is not implicated absent a preliminary finding of police suggestion, then the decision will simply foreclose federal due process claims in this small set of cases. (I have previously criticized Brathwaite for seeming to apply only to cases involving police suggestion. http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=1531259 .) Fortunately, even if the Supreme Court does limit federal due process to cases involving police suggestion, state courts are still free to invoke state constitutional law, state evidence law, and their supervisory authority for the administration of justice so as to extend due process protections to all unreliable identifications. Nonetheless, if the petitioner in Perry loses, the case will be a huge disappointment for those advocating for the use of state-of-the-art identification procedures.
On the other hand, if the Supreme Court in Perry holds that due process turns solely on reliability, regardless of its source, this may represent an important turning point. It might indicate the Court's willingness to reconsider its due process reliability test for identification evidence. Its five-factor reliability test has been subject to sustained criticism from social scientists and legal scholars since the time it was adopted. Several state high courts have revised it for purposes of their state due process analysis. The current flawed test is clearly in need of revision, so it is reasonable to think the Court might be prepared to tackle this task. In a broader sense, it might also mean that the Court is taking more seriously a wider set of reliability concerns about criminal trials that have caused wrongful convictions. Ideally, this would lead to better decisions on such things as confessions, jailhouse informants, and forensic science as well.

The Supreme Court will affirm, because it won't be interested in making a federal case out of every "weight vs. admissibility" question.

In US v. Wade (1967) the defendant had already been indicted and arrested at the time the suggestive line-up was conducted, during which his lawyer wasn't present. That right-to-counsel violation possibly infected the witness's in-court ID. Obviously counsel can't be present when a cop is investigating a crime.

The Lipscomb Bisons second day in Florida wasn't as nice as their first.
And we aren't talking about the weather.
After opening the three-game Atlantic Sun series with Stetson with a 4-1 Friday night in a weather-delayed game, the Bisons hit the field at noon in DeLand, Fla. for game two, a 12-6 loss.
The game time was moved up from the original time of 2 p.m. to avoid expected bad weather.
Game three is Sunday at 1 p.m. at Melching Field.
Brandon McClurg, ins his first start since his second A-Sun Pitcher of the Week honor and National Pitcher of the Week selection, struggled. He pitched only three innings, giving up two runs in the second and five in the third on four hits. He walked two and struck out two.
The Bisons rallied for one run in the fifth. Designated hitter Justin Sanders led off the inning with a walk. He moved to second on a ground out by right fielder Shane Simpkins. Third baseman Brad Gooch singled to drive Sanders home.
In the sixth the Bisons added three more runs to cut the Stetson advantage to 5-4. Jorge Gutierrez was hit by a pitch to start the inning. Allen Bolden singled to right field. Caleb Joseph flied out to right field, but Gutierrez tagged up and moved to third. Sanders drove a double to left center that scored Gutierrez and Bolden.
Simpkins followed with a single up the middle to send Sanders home with a run.
Stetson came back with two more runs in the bottom of the sixth and added five more in the seventh.
The Bisons did not go away quietly. They struck for two more runs in the eighth inning.
Left fielder Blake Bratcher singled to left as the first batter in the inning. Sanders followed with a single up the middle. Simpkins loaded the based with a bunt single.
With the bases loaded Stetson switched pitchers. The next two Bisons hitters made outs. Second baseman Ben Williams singled and then advanced to second on an error by the second baseman. Both Sanders and Bratcher scored, but Williams was credited with only on RBI.
Sanders, Simpkins and Gooch each had two hits as the Bisons finished with 12 against four Stetson pitchers.
The Bisons used four pitchers as well. Paul Piennette came in for McClurg and pitched the next three innings. He gave up two runs and allowed five hits. Charles Williams threw one-third of an inning. He gave up five hits and five runs. Mike Zenko closed out the game for the Bisons giving up only one hit and not allowing a run in 1 2/3 innings. He struck out two.
The Bisons are 16-13 overall, 11-6 in the A-Sun. Stetson is 14-16, 6-8 in the A-Sun.

Aside from your tires, the most critical and commonly replaced part on your bike is the chain. A worn chain reduces shifting quality and can dramatically shorten the life of your drive train. A worn chain lengthens as the internal bushings in each link wear. The now longer chain puts more pressure on each tooth on your cassette cogs and each tooth on your chainrings, so the teeth wear more quickly. The problem is simple, but so is the solution. If you periodically replace your chain, your expensive drive train parts will last longer and, with a little care, a lot longer. You'll save money and the gears will shift better – a new Shimano Dura-Ace 10 speed chain retails for $69.99, but a Dura-Ace cassette retails for $264.99 and a new 53 tooth chainring costs nearly as much! Clearly, timely replacement of your chain will save you in the long run.
But, when should you change your chain? If we are keeping it simple, then replace your road chain every 1,500 to 2,000 miles or your mountain chain every 5-6 months. But these are only general guidelines – you are probably not the average rider. For instance, if you meticulously maintain your chain – keep it clean and lightly lubricated – and never ride when the streets are wet, weigh 135 pounds, and always sit and smoothly spin a low gear, your chain will last a lot longer than your 250 pound buddy who grinds a massive gear, rides everyday in a typhoon and doesn't even know how to spell maintenance.
Clearly the rules do not work for every rider. The good news is that you can easily measure chain wear, and only replace your chain when it is necessary- when it's worn. The easiest way is to use a chain wear gauge like the Spin Doctor Chain Wear Indicator. To use this tool, put pressure on a pedal so that the top of the chain is drawn taut, then drop the tool in place and read the results.
Don't have a chain wear indicator handy? There is another way and all it takes is a 12 inch ruler. All modern chains have rivets every ½" and you are going to measure from one rivet to another one 12" away. Once again draw the top of the chain taut then align the end of the ruler (the zero inch mark) with the center of a rivet. Now note where the ruler's 12 inch mark aligns.
- If it is dead center on a rivet, the chain is as good as new.
- If the rivet is less than a 1/16″ ahead of the 12" mark, then the chain is showing some wear but is still serviceable (this is equal to 1.58mm or .5% wear).
- If the rivet is 3/32" ahead, start thinking about a replacement. Replacing it now prolongs the usable life of the cassette and chain rings (this is equal to 2.38mm or approximately: .75% or 2.29mm of wear).
- If the rivet is 1/8″ ahead, replace the chain immediately and you may need to replace the cassette (this is equal to 3.175mm or approximately: 1% or 3.05mm of wear).
If you measure your chain and determine that's it is time to replace your chain, it's actually a relatively easy task to take care of on your own.

Nokia will have another chance to stop a lawsuit brought by chip maker Qualcomm in the latest twist in a long-running patent battle between the companies. A US appeals court has ordered a reconsideration of an earlier decision in Qualcomm's favour.
The dispute centres on patents owned by Qualcomm which it sought to protect in a court case begun last November. That case asked for a block to be put on Finland's Nokia's sale of mobile phones which Qualcomm claimed used technology that infringed its patents.
Nokia has tried to resolve the situation by the use of an arbitrator and had asked for the law suit to be delayed pending the outcome of arbitration.
A Californian federal court denied Nokia the right to a stay of the case in March this year. The US Courts of Appeal for the Federal Circuit has just ruled, though, that that decision must be re-considered.
The Appeals Court has ruled that the lower court "did not perform the correct inquiry" and must re-consider whether or not to allow Nokia to delay the court action until arbitration has run its course.
The case involves 11 Qualcomm patents and one belonging to its subsidiary SnapTrack. The case was filed just a week after Nokia joined with other companies to complain to the European Commission about Qualcomm's use of patents for third generation mobile phone technology.
Nokia, Panasonic, Broadcom, NEC, Texas Instruments and Ericsson claimed to the Commission that Broadcom violated Europe's anti-trust regulations
An administrative judge ruled earlier this month that Qualcomm infringed some patents belonging to Broadcom. That judge did find, though, that not all of Broadcom's infringement claims were justified.
