Estate planning and what to do with the family home is an emotional issue at the best of times. Add into the mix a second marriage and, perhaps, children from an earlier relationship, and things just get a whole lot more complicated.
"People who are married or who are in long-term common-law relationships tend to hold their home in joint ownership," says Christine van Cauwenberghe, an estate planning specialist with Investors Group in Winnipeg. The spouse will likely be the beneficiary of a will and they in turn would leave the property to their children.
"But in the case of the second marriage, if you're in a relationship where you leave everything to your new spouse, and they don't have any relationship to your children, it's quite likely that you could inadvertently disinherit your children," Ms. van Cauwenberghe says.
The key to avoiding such outcomes, intentional or otherwise, is planning.
"The most important aspect is communication between the two new spouses and between the family members as to what the plans are going forward," says John Bostjancic, financial advisor at Edward Jones in Mississauga. "One of the most important things to try to figure out is how do you deal with your own estate expectations for your own children. What kind of lifestyle and what kind of assets do you want to leave
behind for your spouse and by extension your extended family?"
Mr. Bostjancic says there is no onesize-fits-all solution.
"It depends on life stage. Is it a younger family, perhaps two divorced couples?" Mr. Bostjancic asks. "Or is it an older parent who has remarried and there are larger or a wider array of assets involved?"
"The cleanest way to do it, if you can," Ms. van Cauwenberghe says, "is to divide the estate immediately and let everyone go on their own happy way."
Ms. van Cauwenberghe says particularly if you are not leaving the family home to your spouse, get legal advice to make sure that any will does not violate your spouse's family property rights.
"In respect to homes, [you have to decide] if you want to keep the home in the family or do you want the surviving spouse to stay in that home?" Mr. Bostjancic says. "Do you want to keep the surviving spouse in a certain level of comfort? It becomes a very complex issue, and that's where people tend to procrastinate ... and they end up doing nothing. Inaction is the worst choice."
Ms. van Cauwenberghe says a spousal trust is another option, where your spouse has the income from the assets and use of the home during their lifetime, but on their death it goes to your children. Setting up such trusts needs legal advice. A younger new spouse may even outlive your children meaning your offspring never inherit your property as you had intended.
There may be less problematic alternatives.
"The individual can create a life insurance policy that pays out to the children allowing the second spouse to stay in the home," Mr. Bostjancic says. "Or vice versa, giving the surviving spouse the means to purchase a new home while the children get the benefit of the existing home."

Not Dead Yet
Whew, this once a month posting schedule is punishing. Much like watching Chad Gaudin pitch. Which we won't have to do for at least two weeks.
Apparently the enormous sucking force generated by his 6.48 ERA placed an insupportable strain on his shoulder, causing inflammation. Get well, Chad, but not soon. And have your doctor take a look at Doug Slaten too, hmmm? He may have elbow tendonitis, or a prolapsed colon or something, dontchathink?
Coincidentally, Henry Rodriguez is ready to join the big club. God works in mysterious ways. The bullpen may still be shaky, but they just got much more intimidating.

Google, MS, Mozilla: Three 'Do Not Tracks' to woo them all
So many ways to do one simple thing
With the arrival of Microsoft's IE9 release candidate, we now have three separate "do not track" mechanisms from three separate browsers makers. There's room for them all. But it would be nice if we could agree a single mechanism that makes it as easy as possible for netizens to sidestep behavioral ad tracking, as the US Federal Trade Commission has requested.
In a December report on web privacy, the FTC recommended a "simple, easy to use choice mechanism for consumers to opt out of the collection of information about their Internet behavior for targeted ads". The most practical method, the commission said, would "involve the placement of a persistent setting, similar to a cookie, on the consumer's browser signaling the consumer's choices about being tracked and receiving targeted ads".
Mozilla has already built such a mechanism into the latest Firefox beta: a "Do Not Track" http header that lets netizens tell the world they don't want to be tracked. All that's left is for websites and ad networks to actually recognize the thing – and for other browser makers to adopt it too.
Neither is on the immediate horizon. Mozilla only proposed its DNT header last month, and the open source outfit is still in the early stages of sweet-talking the rest of the web. "Mozilla has garnered support from a number of stakeholders, starting with our users and developers," Mozilla global privacy and public policy leader Alex Fowler tells The Reg. "We continue to engage with key players in the online advertising industry and are seeing strong interest in server-side implementations of the DNT header."
Meanwhile, both Google and Microsoft have rolled out their own do-not-track mechanisms. Hours after Fowler and Mozilla unveiled their proposal, Google released a Chrome extension that lets you opt-out of tracking cookies from multiple advertising networks, including the web's top 15. It works even if you regularly clear your cookies.
Of course, Google is among those running the top 15 ad networks. This is very much a case of self-regulation, and it's not much of a change from what has come before.
Following the debut of Google's 2009 behavioral-advertising setup, privacy crusader Christopher Soghoian introduced a Firefox plug-in that maintained opt-outs for 27 separate behavioral ad networks. He called it the Targeted Advertising Cookie Opt-Out project – or TACO for short. It has since expanded to countless other networks and spawned a sister project, Beef TACO. As Soghoian tells The Reg, Google's "Keep My Opt Outs" extension is merely another TACO.
"Had this come out back in March of 2009, it would be innovative. However, at this point, it is rather pathetic," he tells The Reg. "Google needs to come up with quite a bit more if it wants to be able to claim that it is innovating on privacy. Instead, it appears to be doing the minimum possible to try and keep regulators off its back."
The extension is limited to participating ad networks, and it requires you to, well, install an extension. It's not built into the browser proper. Like Soghoian, Mozilla sees the need for more. "Mozilla's DNT header in Firefox is intended to be a single, clear universal signal to convey users desire to opt-out of tracking," Mozilla privacy engineer Sid Stamm told us. "While hardening the cookies surely helps opt-outs persist, we think it's more appropriate to have a single universal signal for even those who aren't in the list of hardened cookies get to know the user's desire to opt out."
Microsoft uses a third method. Known as Tracking Protection Lists, it relies on predefined lists of domains known to track your behavior via ad technologies. These lists are maintained by various third-party outfits, and the user is free to choose from among them. Microsoft has already submitted this method to the W3C in the hopes of turning it into a standard.
Mozilla's method is simpler. There's less for the user to wrap his head around. But Mozilla is requiring the active participation of sites and ad networks. With Microsoft's method, third-parties decide what should be blocked.
In typical fashion, Mozilla believes the best route is to get everyone to play nicely together. "We believe the major players in the display advertising business will honor consumers' choice for privacy (as witnessed in the NAI opt out program and others), and we would like to allow them that opportunity by letting consumers convey their choice through our HTTP header," Stamm says.
"Advertisements are a constructive part of the Web ecosystem, and we think blocking ads outright is too detrimental to the Web; instead, we would like to pursue a solution where users and advertising networks can work in concert (instead of in conflict) to balance value with consumers' privacy choices."
As Stamm points out, the Mozilla and Microsoft methods can coexist. And they will. Both have their merits. Microsoft's method actually works – right now – and Mozilla should be applauded for working to get everyone on the same page. But for the moment, they're not. ®

The Jewish Reaction to the Livorno Earthquake of January 27, 1742
by Ovadya Hoffman
On January 27, 1742 (כב' שבט תק"ב) an earthquake shook Livorno, Italy to its core. All through the preceding months rumbling shuddered throughout the city. Pasqual R. Pedini, a recognized cleric at the time, elucidated in a letter beginning with the incipient rumblings of Jan. 16 carrying on until 27th a vivid depiction of the earthquake's manifestation and impact (The Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London, London 1809; VIII p. 568, "An Account of the Earthquakes Felt in Leghorn"). Today with minimal research anyone can gain insight into the occurrence, both in secular historiography or seismological analyses of its nature, so I won't elaborate on it. Here my sole intention is to produce some rare and, more importantly, non-reproduced Jewish material (here is a brief chronicle of Italian seismic history referenced in Jewish sources).
Of note is the sefer Shivchei Todah (Livorno 5504)[1] from R. Malachi HaCohen, author of the famed Yad Malachi[2]. In his introduction, the author tells us that he composed the piyutim (prayers and hymns) in the wake of the miracles that occurred during the earthquake(s). The rabbis of the community instructed the people to fast and recite different prayers, at the same time offering words of inspiration in the different synagogues to get the public to focus on self introspection. In many quarters, especially in the communal synagogues and schools, Torah study groups of different levels of study were being held. Those tefilot were established as part of an annual memorial service marking the miracles, and included in the same sefer were other tefilot that were instituted to recite in times of distress. This is essentially how the "Purim Sheni" in Livorno was born[3]. Here Eliezer Landshut gives an itemized list of the piyutim appearing in ST[4]. A more detailed report of the nature of the earthquakes was depicted by the well known R. Rafael Meldola, father of R. Avraham who headed the prominent publishing house, in his sefer Shever BaMitzarim (Livorno 5502) which was printed later that year of the earthquake. He too, as the aforementioned cleric did, begins his recount with the tremors that lead up to "the big bang". Some have noted that aside for ST, R. Malachi authored a second sefer resembling the former's framework entitled Kol Tefilah, although I wonder if this is accurate. For one, I haven't been able to locate it. But what's more puzzling is why would he have written the same tefilot and print them under two different titles? And if they contain different tefilot, why not include them in one sefer to avoid future confusion or possible opposition between kehilot in respect to the age-old "Who has the right mesorah" dilemma? Another sefer ascribed to R. Malachi is Arucha U'marpeh. In the relatively new Maaseh Rokeach from R. Massoud C. Rokach (Jer. 5772; pirkei mavo ve'toldot ha'mechaber §6) they claim that R. Malachi is "בעל הקונטרס 'ארוכה ומרפא' תפילות ובקשות שונות על העיר ליוורנו מקומו.". One problem with this is that the introduction to this sefer clearly says that the pieces are taken from ST. The other issue is that on his tombstone, as is brought in the journal Ohr Olam (1;92), it gives the year of his passing as 5532 whereas the Arucha U'marpeh was only first printed in 5565, with no indication at all of this pamphlet being produced from R. Malachi's manuscripts.
Once mentioning the Maaseh Rokeach (which was actually first printed the year of the earthquake[5]) it is also worth noting that one of his great students, R. Avraham Khalfon of Tripoli, also known by the acronym HaAvrech, copied in his sefer Maseh Zadikkim (pg. 522) large sections of the Shever BaMitzarim making it far more accessible than it was till then.
A similar sefer comprised of different tefilot for epidemics etc., not related directly to the earthquake in Livorno, was printed a year later in Venice entitled Matzil Nefashot. It contains 'Tefilat HaDerech of the Ramban', 'Tefilat Yachid from R. Elazar HaKalir' and other tefilot and bakashot. I wonder if the inspiration for this collection came from the events that occurred over in Livorno then followed by the printing of Shever BaMetzarim, or not.
Returning to the Shivchei Todah, though most of the content is legible[6] and printed in the classic neat Italian lettering, sadly the rich and brilliant introduction, printed in Rashi lettering, is not and so it is presented here (excluding the piece where he thanks the publishers which is not all that me'inyana d'yoma):
[1] Some give an additional printing date of 1743 but I'm not certain why. All editions that I've seen have the same year "ובחמלתו הוא" printed on the cover page.
[2] With this opportunity, I'd like to clarify a confusion I've seen by some, referring to the Yad Malachi as "R. Malachi Montepescali". If one looks at the author's introduction to his Yad Malachi it is obvious that he did not go by this surname, rather, it was his forefather who did. Furthermore, I haven't seen anyone identify the hometown of his ancestor(s), no less even see his name neither translated nor transliterated in English, and so the above given town is my own estimation.
[3] The Chida, in addressing a community who wanted to recite Hallel with a berachah for a different miracle (Chaim Sha'al 2;11), at the end of his responsa commends the rabbis of Livorno for instructing their community to recite Hallel because of the earthquake but to say it without a berachah. (Rav Y. Y. Weiss echoes this ruling, though in a more overt strict tone, regarding the attempt some made to recite Hallel commemorating the "miraculous" liberation from WWII (Minchat Yitzchak 10;10). For a complete discussion in general on reciting Hallel in such instances, see the famous responsa of R. Ovadia Yosef, zecher zaddik le'vracha, in Yabia Omer (vol. 6 OC §41).
[5] At the around the same time and place, the Ohr HaChaim was being printed (Venice 5502), however printing didn't go as smooth as you can see from these two different cover pages: one & two. While these as well as others were being printed in Venice, we do find other reputable seforim that were printed in Livorno that same year. More so, R. Malachi HaCohen aided greatly in the production of the responsa of R. Shlomo Zemach (Rashbash) ben R. Shimon (Rashbatz – two years later, R. Malachi wrote a haskamah upon the printing of the Rashbatz's Yavin Shmua) and the organizing, together with a magnificent poetic biography, of the responsa of R. Yosef Irgas (Divrei Yosef).
[6] Two short notes on R. Malachi's text: On pg. 2 of the seder ha'tefilot, it seems that in the piece of 'Elokai Neshama' R. Malachi followed the more uncommon rite and added "ומושל בכל הבריות" not like most Sefardim or even Italians, which he was himself. See also Yaffeh LaLev (kunteres acharon, OC §46:1). Some indeed had the custom to add it, see for example R. Sadia HaLevi in Neveh Zedek (hil. Berachos 1:5), but what's interesting is that most Italians did not. Another noticeable difference is the word "נהודך" in 'Baruch She'amar'.

When the video above aired on dimensions, several individuals in our community took note of a statement made by George Weymouth. He was explaining how hydrilla, an invasive plant species overtaking rivers in our state, had led to Limpkins entirely abandoning the Wakulla River (which has its source at Wakulla Springs). He said that herbicides used to control the plant led to a die off of apple snails, the limpkin's main food source.
The reaction to this statement started me on a quest, with the several aforementioned individuals guiding me closer, and at times seemingly further, from an answer to what happened to the limpkins at Wakulla Springs.

TLA Is Home At Last
An apartment for two in Sweden exemplifies living with tech as an integral part of the occupants' lives without falling victim to the usual decor pratfalls that often mar a well-equipped audio/video space. At first glance, it may strike American eyes as minimalist, but there's plenty of details to admire, ideas to steal; use of wall and ceiling mounting hardware keep audio/video equipment out of sight, while an all-white and black color palette blends in components into walls, with additional concealment of cables and wires along the lines vertical and horizontal lines of the interior walls helping highlight the more important decorative items in their home...
Dripped paint graphic along the ceiling line underline there's a white projector screen which pulls down in the direction of the paint drips, while on the other side a DIY projector shelf runs parallel with a wall mounted media shelf (Stringfurniture & Nisse Strinning's String Pocket Shelving, a model I've bookmarked myself for similar purposes).
It's all topped off with a few strategically placed metallic elements in contrast to the primarily monochromatic color scheme, a sophisticated way to warm and glam up a space and draw the eye to focal points you want (art, dining table, walls) and away from necessary aesthetic compromises of wall mounting home theater features (screen, flat panel, speakers).
Fully geeked out A/V types will tell you aesthetics are unimportant, but Scandinavian spaces like this one is a strong argument for balancing form (and fun) with function.

OMGOMGOMG -- Y'all, they made us a Ryan Gosling channel! Time to do a happy dance all around the room. Whee! For the entire month of February, 8 of Gosling's movies will be available on demand via Time Warner. For you. For me. For between $1.99 and $4.99 per movie. For realz.
All you have to do is mosey on over to Movies on Demand, select BY GENRE, and then pick "Ryan Gosling." That will give you Le Ryan Menu. Pick you fave. And now, let us all talk about how SWEET this is.
Hey girl. Thanks for joining me here after the jump.
1. Just saying Ryan Gosling On Demand gives me an orgasm goosebumps. How many times in your life are you going to be able to say that? I demand Ryan Gosling! Right now! Right heyah! On the tee vee! Except I'd rather say right now on the table. But that's just me.
2. This is the best thing Time Warner has ever done, PERIOD. It almost makes up for their horrendous service. And it's kind of weird, in a way. It's like Time Warner is being the bad boyfriend who's a total jerk to you and then comes back with flowers and chocolates and says all the things you want to hear on Valentine's Day. Damn them!
3. This almost makes up for that People Magazine Sexiest Man snub -- and the Oscars snub. Almost! I mean, what were they thinking?!? But Time Warner knows. They really get us. They listen. When the news was announced, Brad Pitt and Bradley Cooper were heard exclaiming in unison: WTF, what make HIM so special?!?
4. They included his newest movies! Drive, Crazy, Stupid, Love, and Ides of March. It's not some cheap, almost-cool channel with only movies from 5 years ago plus best-of-Gosling on the Disney Show. They're giving us the recent stuff.
5. Ryan Gosling.
Okay, that said, where are Half Nelson and Blue Valentine? Come on, I know Blue Valentine was a downer, and Half Nelson was, too -- but he got an Oscar nom for that one! Anyway. Here's a little something to whet your appetite.
Will you be watching the Ryan Gosling channel this month?

With so much interest in search, it's amazing how relatively little research has been done into how people interact with search engines, especially from a search marketing perspective. That's finally changing.
Over the past few weeks, search engine marketing firm iProspect has released a series of reports studying search behavior. That survey, Search Engine Users Attitudes, involved 1,649 people surveyed at the end of March 2004 on behalf of iProspect by Survey Sample International.
Search marketing firm Enquiro has also been busy. Similar to iPropsect, it has recently released results from a survey of hundreds of people about how they interact with search, as well as a focus group look that will be covered more in tomorrow's SearchDay.
Search Engine User Attitudes
Here are some of the key findings from the Search Engine User Attitudes Survey Results, published as a white paper and available on the iProspect web site.
56 percent of those surveyed use search engines on a daily basis. That includes 35 percent who do at least one search per day and 21 percent who search four or more times per day. Only one percent of those surveyed say they never use search engines. However, keep in mind that everyone in the survey was an internet user. If non-internet users were involved, that figure would obviously be higher.
A majority of searchers have a favorite search engine. iProspect found that:
- 57 percent say they use the same search engine
- 30.5 percent say they have several favorites that are used interchangeably
- 13 percent say they use different search engines for different types of searches
Of those who said they use the same search engine, Google was the top choice, 66 percent. Yahoo followed at 55 percent, with MSN just behind at 54 percent. AOL was last at 49 percent. There were no other choices offered to survey participants.
Search Failure
What do people do when they can't find the information they're looking for? 26 percent said they'd give up on a search and try again if they didn't find a match in the first two pages of results, more than any other choice. This was followed by 23 percent who said they'd review only the first few matches on the first page, then 19 percent who said they'd review only the entire first page of results. 15 percent said they'd give up after reviewing three pages. The remainder said they'd look at more than three pages.
Combining the figures provides a different perspective of success for search marketers. SEO lore says that a page needs to be in the top ten results to have a chance of being clicked on by searchers. The reality, at least according to the iProspect numbers, is a different story. How so?
Being on the first page of results, especially high up, exposes your page to 42 precent of all search engine users. But being on the second page adds those persistent users, increasing the potential viewership to 68 percent of users. Even if your result is on page three, fully 83 percent will see the link to your page.
These numbers seem surprisingly high. Do they indicate that searchers have become more discriminating, and are less likely to click without first evaluating more than the top handful of results? Perhaps — but something else may be at work. Perhaps the perceived quality of search results is getting worse, so people are drilling deeper to find what they need.
91 percent said they'd try searching differently at a search engine if the initial search failed to bring up a good match in the first three pages of results. A similar iProspect survey in 2002 found this figure to be 71 percent, causing the company to suggest that search quality is improving. Bill Muller, Vice President, Marketing of iProspect says "Our conclusion was based on the fact that now, only 9% of users will either give up searching altogether or try another search engine, after an "unsuccessful" search — as opposed to 29% who previously gave up altogether or tried another search engine in the results of our previous survey."
One idea is that search users believe it's more their mistake than the search engine's. In other words, instead of trying the same search elsewhere — which might actually bring up a better result — they may feel they've simply not come up with the right query.
The survey also looked at abandonment by profession. Homemakers were the finickiest, with more than 52 percent looking only at the first page of search results before moving to another search engine or modifying their search. Abandonment rates were also high among educators (40%), IT/MIS professionals (38%) and students (27%).
More oddly, those on unemployment stopped looking at results after the first page more than full-time or part-time employees.
The adage that age mellows people and makes them more patient doesn't apply in the search world, according to survey results. Across the board, the older a user is the less likely he or she will look at more than the first page of results. Nearly half of all people 60 and older abandoned their search after the first page of results if they didn't find what they were looking for. This was followed by 44 percent of 45-59 year olds, 38 percent of 30-44 year olds, and just 32 percent of 18-29 year olds.
And women are less likely to go more deeply into search results than men. 44 percent of women said they don't go past the first page of search results, whereas 37 percent of men responded this way. Why?
Women "tend to go directly to brands that they know and trust for advice to save time," said Lauren Wiener, managing director at Meredith Interactive, publisher of American Baby and Ladies' Home Journal's LHJ.com in an article in MediaPost.
For search marketers, these survey findings are a mixed blessing. If your target audience falls clearly into one of the demographic groups surveyed, it's much more important to have your pages listed in the top ten results. This is especially true if your target user falls into more than one group — an unemployed 60 year old female educator, as an extreme example.
Equally important, the results suggest that a combined strategy that uses both organic SEO to gain top ten listings and a paid placement campaign might be the most effective approach for difficult to please audiences. The survey has more about the effectiveness of paid vs. organic links, which we'll go into below.
Toolbars seem ubiquitous these days — most of the major search services and scores of other players offer them.
Nearly half of those surveyed — 49 percent — said they use one or more search toolbars. This is based on the fact that respondents were asked to answer which toolbar they had installed: Google, Yahoo, MSN or None Of The Above. Yahoo was ranked top among those choices, at 22 percent, followed by Google at 20 percent and MSN at 17 percent.
Unfortunately, having to choose only one toolbar meant those who may have had two or more might not have had the other ones they used counted accurately.
In an article about the survey in MediaPost, Jupiter Research Senior Analyst Gary Stein commented, "For the intended strategy of these toolbars, which is to generate loyalty, I don't know if they're great for that. We see a lot of downloading of toolbars, but not a lot of use."
Relevancy: Paid Versus Free
Although many purists are dismissive of paid listings, some searchers prefer them, especially for certain types of queries. Others leaned toward organic listings — sometimes with surprising results.
For example, for the query "used car," when shown a result page from the user's favorite search engine, organic results were deemed more relevant by 60.5 percent, versus 39.5 percent favoring paid listings, across all search engines.
Looking more closely at the preferences of users of particular engines, however, and a dramatic divergence in opinion appears.
Google users especially said they liked organic listings better, with 72 percent favoring them, with 28% preferring sponsored listings. MSN users, by contrast, had virtually the opposite results, saying that paid listings were more relevant (71 percent) vs. organic results (29%).
Why? Pure speculation, but perhaps the look and feel of Google's sponsored listings looking more like "normal" results helped. In other words maybe ads at Google were also very relevant — but because they don't look like regular results, have shorter descriptions and so on, they are dismissed more frequently.
In other findings, both men (65%) and women (57%) preferred natural results over paid listings, though the 43% of women who said they favored the paid listings suggest that the preference for organic results is not as strong in women as men.
Other demographic breakdowns showed a similar preference for organic over paid search listings, but with important differences within each group:
- Education level: College graduates preferred natural results (65%) to paid listings (35%), while non-college graduates had less pronounced preference for organic listings (56%) to paid listings (44%).
- Employment status: Full time workers – organic listings (65%) vs. paid listings(36%); Part time workers organic listings (61%) vs. paid listings (39%); Unemployed organic listings (55%) vs. paid listings (45%
- Internet usage: Frequent internet users (4 or more times per day) preferred organic listings (65%) to paid listings (35%), while infrequent users (less than four times per day) preferred natural search listings (56%) to paid listings (44%)
An important takeaway for search marketers from this survey is that it's increasingly important to think of your target audience not as "searchers" or "prospects" but rather as multi-dimensional users with complex needs and desires. An effective search marketing strategy now must go beyond simply optimizing for a particular engine, or bidding for a narrow range of keywords specific to your product or service.
Rather, it's important to build up a profile (or multiple profiles) of the type of people you're interested in attracting to your web site through search marketing. Build optimizing strategies and campaigns around those profiles, and the iProspect survey results suggest you'll be far more effective than using the one size fits all approach that many search marketers still employ today.
Tomorrow's SearchDay features results from more research into user behavior and search engines, from a very different perspective. Stay tuned.

One thing I also do is I choose 2-3 mares to keep in specific locations abroad: a batch in Australia and a batch in England so I can tap into those stallions without paying the mass shipping fees each year.
One thing I did this year, though, that I have not seen in any of the other posts is that I have recently started tracking my horses' racing times. I've created a sheet containing lists of the various times different distances have been won at, and then I compare those times to my horses' results and those of the studs I'm looking into. One thing I've noticed is that some horses win races without actually running very well
I started screening my broodmare herd based on abilities that I hoped might someday help me breed a Derby winner, i.e. speed records over flat Derby-like distances, peaking around age 3, etc. I then try to pair them with a stallion who will enhance these and fill in any gaps (example: a mare that peaked age 2-3 to pair with a stallion who bloomed later like age 3-4).
Me too and I wish we could search stallions by location!

One of the more important lessons I learned during my college years in Oregon was never engage in two illegal activities at the same time (i.e., rolling joints in a speeding vehicle). A no-brainer corollary to this rule apparently must have escaped Jorge Simental, an ER physician who recently launched a supplemental career as a flyfishing guide: If you are doing something that might be illegal, don't invite the media to publicize it.
A June 1 article in Kalispell's Daily Inter Lake featured Simental leading guests by helicopter into the spectacular wildlands of the Lewis and Clark National Forest's Rocky Mountain Front in north central Montana. The article by freelance writer Dave Reese, who edits Montana Living magazine in Whitefish, describes how this helicopter-assisted outfitting into the Front's Badger-Two Medicine area was done under the auspices of Simental's special-use permit administered by the U.S. Forest Service.
"Every person has an outlet for inner peace and balance in life," the article quotes Simental, who operates out of Summit Station Lodge on the Continental Divide at Marias Pass. "My balance is achieved by angling untouched waters, mixed with the solitude of the surroundings."
Simental's balance and inner peace were likely soon upset when word got out that his special-use permit was pure fiction. The Inter Lake article spurred an ongoing investigation by multiple agencies, including Forest Service law enforcement, the Montana Board of Outfitters and the state Department of Fish, Wildlife and Parks, said Mike Munoz, the district ranger for national forest's Rocky Mountain Ranger District.
"Neither Summit Lodge nor Jorge Simental has a special use permit," Munoz said. "We haven't received any application do commercial aviation activities on the district. We have no intent to promote commercial aviation activities."
While there is no blanket prohibition against landing a helicopter on non-Wilderness public lands, federal aviation rules require pilots to obtain permission from landowners before landing. The national forest has only allowed landings for administrative and emergency purposes, never for recreation, according to forest officials.
What consequences the various investigations will have for Simental are unclear. Authorities can hardly revoke permits and licenses that Simental has never held. Simental could not be reached for comment.
An insult to tradition
The specter of affluent tourists choppering into extraordinary backcountry like the Badger-Two Medicine, places that the rest of us get to on foot and horseback, rubs many Montanans the wrong way. Besides insulting the traditions of the Badger-Two Medicine, the helicopter access re-enforces the impression that the rich play be a different set of rules. News of Simental's helicopter escapade angered outfitters as well as activists who are lobbying to shield the Rocky Mountain Front from industrial development and excessive motorized recreation.
"The idea that this could even happen is so repugnant to decency and fair play that it exceeds comprehension," wrote Choteau businessman Stoney Burk, a leader in the Coalition to Protect the Rocky Mountain Front, in an email to fellow conservationists. "This activity flies in the face of 50 years of environmental stewardship and it absolutely cannot be given one little bit of credence."
(Full disclosure: I do communications work for the coalition as a staff member of The Wilderness Society.)
Simental recently purchased Summit Station, located on a 55-acre in-holding bordered by Glacier National Park and the Badger-Two Medicine, a largely unroaded stretch of national forest that holds significant cultural values to the Blackfeet Nation and vital wildlife habitat. The lodge is a base for high-end angling adventures and other outdoor activities. Neither the lodge nor Simental are licensed to guide anywhere in Montana, so they outsource these services, said lodge employee Joe Peterson.
According to the Inter Lake article, Reese recently accompanied some flyfishing guests on a flight piloted by Jim Kruger to a narrow canyon, where the guests cast dry flies into deep pools and lunched on "salad nicoise [that's pronounced nee-SWAHZ] and smoked salmon served on a checkered tablecloth." The spot was "deep" in the national forest, a place the article refers to as "Jorge Simental's world."
"I knew as soon as I stepped from the helicopter that this place, this unique part of the earth decided for some reason that I should be fortunate enough to experience it," guest Julia Graham of Florida told the reporter.
The article identifies Kruger, a respected pilot with a long history of flying rescue missions and scenic overflights in Glacier National Park, as a key part of Simental's helicopter outfitting service in the national forest. My call to Kruger was not returned.
No paying guests
Graham told me state wildlife officials have contacted her, but she was unable to tell them exactly where Simental took the group of anglers. The spot was several minutes of flight time up a beautiful valley, possibly in the Badger River drainage, where they intended to land at a lake, she told me. Because the destination was snowbound, they landed downstream. Graham said the trip was part of a photo shoot to be published in Montana Living and no one paid to be on the outing.
"If I was a paying for the trip, I would have caught a fish," joked Graham, who said she was more of a photographic subject than a guided client.
The Inter Lake article also contains an item that would be of interest to tribal authorities. It claims Simental runs trips to nearby lakes on the Blackfeet Reservation, "where trophy rainbow trout can be caught with the help of Northern Rockies Outfitters."
"I guess I'll be hearing from the tribe," said Rich Birdsell, the owner of Northern Rockies Outfitters. The Kalispell-based outfitter is not authorized to take clients fishing on the reservation, but his is the only angling outfit the Forest Service permits in the Badger Two-Medicine. Birdsell takes up to 10 clients a summer by foot to fish the South Fork of the Two Medicine River out of Rising Wolf Ranch. He told me Simental has discussed doing business with him in the Badger-Two Medicine, but to date Summit Station has sent only a few guests to fish with Birdsell on the Flathead River.
The Inter Lake published a follow-up article today, describing the various investigations into Simental's operation.
When I called the Summit Station Lodge for comment, Peterson insisted Reese got the story wrong. The business does not operate on the national forest, but rather on adjacent tribal lands in Badger Canyon using Blackfeet fishing guides, he said.
But the place Reese and Graham described visiting seemed too far into the mountains to be on reservation lands. Reese said his story was based on information Simental provided.

Pocono Environmental Education Center will offer a new summer camp for 20 gifted students, backed by a grant from the Anne Spychala Family Charitable Foundation in the Lehigh Valley.
Pocono Environmental Education Center will offer a new summer camp for 20 gifted students, backed by a grant from the Anne Spychala Family Charitable Foundation in the Lehigh Valley.
"Anne Spychala's family came to us, I think probably because some of their students had been here in the past for field trips and hikes," said Sheri Bone, director of group program business development for PEEC. "Upon her passing, she left us money to be used for science education.
"We brainstormed ways we could use the money. We chatted with some of her family members — college professors — and we shared that we work with Easter Seals and hold camps for campers with special needs "� and it was suggested that maybe we could go the opposite way. We decided a special science camp for gifted science students would be reaching an audience that we don't normally focus on — to be offering a camp specifically for gifted kids who love science."
Aptly dubbed "Sci-Q," the residency camp will be held Aug. 4-9 at PEEC. Gifted students who will enter grades 10, 11 or 12 in the fall are eligible to apply for the 20 camp spots.
Bone said the grant will cover the cost of counselors, field trips, food and lodging for the full week.
Bone said college professors from East Stroudsburg University, Cedar Crest and Penn State thus far, with more expected to be added to the camp, will teach from their particular fields. Some topics will include genetic engineering, geology, paleontology, wildlife biology and more.
Most of the hands-on program will be outdoors.
"We also hope to have enough free time that the kids can do some hiking, canoeing, campfires, as well to integrate the Sci-Q camp with what normally happens here at PEEC," Bone said.
Applicants will need to submit a copy of their high school transcript and GIEP, if available, as well as a recommendation letter from a teacher.
Student applicants must answer four essay questions that have to do with character traits of a good scientist, future scientific advances, how science intersects with politics and ethics in light of current news events and what questions students would have if they could meet with a famous scientist from any era.
"We're taking applications from all over," said Bone. "There's no residency requirement. They can live in Pennsylvania or New Jersey or New York or California. They'll just have to provide their own travel arrangements."
The formal application and further information is available online at peec.org/sci-q. The deadline is June 1.

Island-hopping Aruba, Bonaire and Curaçao in the Caribbean is not quite as easy as ABC, but is definitely possible and certainly rewarding.
The trio of neighbouring "ABC" islands made up the Dutch Antilles until that administrative unit was disbanded in 2010. Some of the ferries that linked them in the past have foundered due to competition from the air, so visitors who wish to visit all three will likely get very familiar with regional airlines like Curaçao-based Insel Air and its Foker 50s.
These three islands share some history as Dutch colonies, fine weather (below the hurricane belt), a language (Papiamento) and burgeoning interest by travellers; but they couldn't be more different.
Aruba has what seems like a mile of soft white sand for each of the honeymooning couples that have made the island the best known of the three. Shopping, resorts, casinos and other touches of island glitz abound.
Bonaire is wilder and more sparse, offering a more one-sided travel experience. About 80 per cent of visitors come for what is considered the best diving in the Caribbean.
Curaçao is the biggest of the islands at more than 60 kilometres long and at most 28 wide. It's where I based myself so I could have a multi-dimensional Caribbean experience. Curaçao is easily the most cosmopolitan of the ABCs, rich in history, cuisine, colour, architecture and art.
It's also evolved into a unique melting pot of Indian, Dutch, African, Jewish and Latin American and other cultures.
Dutch supermarkets have outposts here, where big wheels of Gouda cheese are on display.
To my friends in Canada, Curaçao is "that blue liqueur place," but the island is definitely more multi-hued than its most famous export. Flocks of pink flamingos hover near an azure sea.
The Handelskade, the waterfront main drag in Willemstad, is a row of narrow painted Dutch houses lined up like a box of coloured pencils. (It has UNESCO world heritage status).
I whiled away one long afternoon on the veranda of the colonial style Le Gouverneur restaurant, facing the Handleskade, eating local dishes like keshi yena, a stew cooked in rinds of Edam cheese, and watching the mesmerizing Queen Emma pontoon bridge, locally known as the Singing Old Lady, open and close over the harbour.
Other days, I explored the fine art scene on the island.
I sampled more local cuisine at the Marshe Bieuw (old market), a kind of Curaçao food court, with communal tables and specialties like pika hasa (a spicy dish with red snapper) all cooked in giant pots over coals.
I also got to know Curaçao's fascinating Jewish history, part and parcel of Curacao's history and prosperity. The 1792 elegant Mikve-Israel Emmanuel synagogue is the oldest continuously operating synagogue in the Western Hemisphere.
Curaçao's wealth, it has to be said, is also due to its history as a slave trading port.
The must-see Kuru Hulanda museum tells this terrible story with chilling artifacts and detail.
Subaquatic Curaçao followed, as I join snorkellers and divers for day excursions to outlying Klein Curaçao or to the west side of the island, where the beaches are intimate pocket coves rather than long stretches. The familiar Caribbean refrain of "we're on island time" also applies to plane schedules.
Setting out for my day trip to Aruba, I'd been told the flight was 20 minutes. An Insel attendant told me sheepishly: "There are sometimes delays, landing."
Still the trip was too quick an upand-down to be scary.
Aruba felt much less exotic. With its rows of resorts, familiar retail shops and throngs of day-tripping cruise passengers, it seemed downright North American. Its draws are safety, ease of getting around, what locals brag is the sunniest weather and cooling trade winds.
Eagle and Palm Beaches are long lovely white-sand stretches choked with enough tourists to provide a Spring Break vibe. If you like that scene, grab a bottle of local Balashi beer and join the crowd.
One alternative is renting a fourwheel drive and exploring the island's terrain such as the windswept scrubland of Arikok National Park, where cave walking is popular. The Conchi natural pool, formed out of volcanic stone, was a great place to snorkel or just chill in water kept pristine by constant waves.
My next stop was at wilder, emptier Bonaire - another "20-minute flight from Curaçao."
It offers stretches of white sand beach which seamlessly give way to aquamarine water, but also mud boulders strewn on sand, small cliffs, swaths of tropical vegetation, and wild donkeys galloping across scrubby desert.
Here, too, a decidedly Dutch flavour permeates. "Let op!" road signs are dotted along roads. Salt flats line the island; Bonaire's salt has for centuries salted the famous Dutch herring. Still, what most people come for is under the water: Bonaire's 86 marked dive sights, a protected ringed-reef shore and the Stichting Nationale Parken Bonaire marine park; a benchmark for other Caribbean nations for conservationism. I also had time (it doesn't take much) to wander the two or three main streets of the capital, Kraneldijk, where I ogled beautiful handmade pieces at Elements, South African-native Charlene Bosch's store. There's a real community feel among locals and Dutch second homers, in town and at beach bars, where I had a glass of liqueur made from cactus with the regulars before heading back to the airport, passing Bonaire's donkey sanctuary on the way.
If you go ...
Air Canada Vacations, WestJet and Sunwing serve Curaçao.

Radiation protection relating to the expansion of the national grid
To raise the total share of energy from renewable sources in electric power supply in Germany it is inevitable to optimize and expand the existing grid systems. Questions of radiation protection have to be considered right from the start.
What do we know about health effects of low-frequency electric and magnetic fields? What kind of protection does exist? How high are potential exposures to high-voltage power lines?
Answers to these and other questions can be found on the topic pages below.

Gabriel Aubry: New Face of Louis Vuitton
Gabriel Aubry and his adorable daughter Nahla leave a taxi in New York City's Soho on Friday (October 30). That evening, longtime love Halle Berry left a business meeting and headed back to her hotel in midtown Manhattan.
The 33-year-old model kept Nahla, 19 months, bundled up in a fleece zip-up jacket and a warm hat while Halle rocked a cropped leather jacket and fierce black Botkier booties.
The New York Post reported that Gabriel will be the new face of Louis Vuitton. Gabriel recently shot photos for the fashion house's spring campaign in Ibiza.
20+ pictures inside of Gabriel Aubry, Nahla and Halle Berry around NYC…
FYI: Halle is carrying her swag in a "Kristin" leather tote by Coach.

I recently finished reading Winter Wheat by Mildred Walker. The setting is the early 1940s on a Montana wheat farm. The main character is Ellen Webb, an 18-year-old when the story opens. She's lived as an only child, working the land with her parents. Because the wheat crop is good, she is able to go off to college where she meets and falls in love with a young man who grew up in the city. When she brings him home to meet her parents, her perceptions of who she is, who her parents are, and life in general change as she looks at everything through his eyes.
When I was looking for a photo to celebrate my aunt's birthday today, I found this one. I scanned it a few years ago but hadn't looked at it closely. The miracle of technology allowed me to enlarge it and see that she was just a teen when it was taken. Isn't she lovely? I love to see the freshness of youth, especially youth of a generation or two ago. For some reason the photo reminded me of Winter Wheat (though she wasn't standing in a harvested wheat field).
Aunt Dot is my mother's sister, my grandparents' third daughter. She is the last of that generation of my family. She continues to have joy in life. And she has been a great help with family history, answering questions about people, places, and events as she remembers them. I'm grateful for all she's done for me.
Happy Birthday, Aunt Dot!

Falck Alford, a local safety-services and training company, has bought a similar business to meet its growing industry's demand.
Falck Alford, a local safety-services and training company, has bought a similar business to meet its growing industry's demand.
The Houma-based company announced Friday it purchased Occupational Safety Training Inc., one of the leaders in safety services within the Gulf Coast region. The purchase price was not disclosed.
Falck Alford chose to merge with the New Iberia company under the name of Falck Safety Services because it was a very reputable business, Falck's CEO Bryan LeCompte said.
The motivation behind the acquisition came about as a way to reach new market opportunities and fulfill the business demand Falck Alford is experiencing.
"Our facility was at full capacity. We wanted to expand our ability to more frequently offer classes," LeCompte said. "All of our high-demand classes were at full capacity, so we would have had to build more facilities or find facilities that offered those classes."
Falck Alford trains between 10,000 and 11,000 students a year at its training centers at 209 Clendenning Road in Houma and in Maurice, New Orleans and Houston, Texas, Falck's sales and marketing coordinator Shelley Robichaux said.
Occupational Safety Training Inc. trains about 8,000 a year at its training centers in New Iberia and Brookshire, Texas.
"Before the merge, we had 44 classes available. After, there will approximately be 16 additional classes," Robichaux said.
Occupational Safety Training Inc.'s courses are no different from Falck Alford's, Robichaux said.
"We do offer the same classes. We also have classes we offer that they don't, and during the merger that will change," she said.
Courses on water survival, firefighting, confined space, and crane operating are offered at all training centers.
"Because we have personnel with so much experience, it allows us to take advantage of both personnel and expand to the Gulf Coast and other areas of the oil field in the U.S.," LeCompte said.
It took almost three months to finish the acquisition once both parties were in agreement, LeCompte said. Officials with Occupational Safety Training Inc. signed the papers for new ownership on Dec. 20.
LeCompte said the company is not making any major changes from the purchase.
What has changed is its number of employees and outlook for the future.
"We have increased our staff by 100. We had 300 employees, and now we have 400. That will allow us to better serve our customers," he said. "As far as customer service, it would be a little easier because it would allow us to offer courses more frequently."

Ahead of a possible day of industrial action on 26th March, Hampshire County Council has been providing advice to the county's schools on the implications of the potential action.
The NUT teacher union is in an on-going dispute with the Government in respect of reforms to the education sector, as well as teachers' pay, conditions and pensions.
The County Council has written to all head teachers at its schools, providing information for staff on the implications of participating in industrial action or otherwise being absent, or partially performing work duties on the day of industrial action.
It is difficult to predict the level of impact of the industrial action in Hampshire as staff do not have to advise their head teacher of their intention to participate. If Hampshire members of these unions do decide to take action however, there is likely to be some disruption.
Head teachers are being asked to ascertain ahead of the day of action, whether any staff will be striking and the likely impact on the school, including whether this means that they will need to close or partially close their schools. This is to enable parents and carers to be advised, if possible, so that they can make alternative arrangements where required.
Schools and education centres have been advised to use the County Council's usual procedures to notify parents and the County Council of any closures or other arrangements such as partial closures, by updating full details on the County Council website. Where known, schools will be able to notify of closures on the website up to five days in advance of the action.
Councillor Peter Edgar, Hampshire County Council's Executive Member for Education, said: "I hope the decision of the union to ask their members to take part in a day of industrial action next week does not lead to widespread disruption to pupils' education. This dispute is not with the County Council but with the Government over changes to teachers' pay, pensions and conditions."
"Any decisions to close schools will be for individual head teachers and their governing bodies to make. They will have to decide whether they have sufficient staff to enable them to open the school safely, and maintain a full or revised curriculum, and it may not be possible for schools to gauge the impact of the strike until the actual day. Staff who do strike however, will not be paid for that day in accordance with nationally set legislation. As always, the County Council's primary concern is for the education and welfare of children."

SALON TOUR: Dieci Uomo

Dieci Uomo, Salon For Men, is all set to open tomorrow: 11/12/13 in Livingston, NJ. The LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certified salon, the first in New Jersey, has earned points in the five categories of Sustainable Sites, Water Efficiency, Energy and Atmosphere, Materials and Resources and Indoor Environmental Quality.
But the Dieci Uomo commitment to the environment is only part of the story. The 4000 square foot salon has 18 stations and will eventually have a staff of 30. The three story space, owned by Paul and Marie Gaglioti, caters to all things "guy" and has a private club ambiance. In addition to barber chairs scattered among the traditional salon chairs, there is a shoe shine station, a "locker room", a bar, beer based pedicure baths, sinks created with recycled beer and vodka bottles and more than a dozen television sets mounted throughout the salon...all tuned to sports channels.
The retail offerings are incredibly focused. Some of the best men's lines are available (Nioxin, Arrojo, NY Streets, Jack Black and Dieci). The Gaglioti's have even found the soon to be launched V76 by Vaughn which has everything from a complete liquid line to Barber's Powder, Hair and Face Mist and Energy Wash Shower Gel. For gifts and fun there are stainless steel wallets, sports books and hats. Dieci Uomo is offering memberships for unlimited cuts, hot shaves, shoe shines and more. "It's the perfect place for a gentleman to come and relax and enjoy that is just for him," says Paul.
These three videos offer great insight into Dieci Uomo...from the tour by team Gaglioti, to the LEED overview and finally to questions every salon owner should have the answers to when opening a second salon (retail, staff, getting the word out to the community and how to open a salon while busy working and running the other salon).
Dieci Uomo is, as a salon/spa goes, a perfect 10. How fitting since Dieci Uomo's translation from Italian is "Ten Man."

Testing result:
Iso file used : puppy 2.11 - seamonkey
in mnt /home/tftpboot/puppy211-seamonkey-lanpup
3 new files were created :
all have mode 644
In mnt/home/lanpup/sys
no file was created ( I was expecting usr_cram.fs )
So far image.gz and us_cram.fs were not created.
Anyway to cut the chase short, the pxe client I wanna load is puppy211 -seamonkey.
If you cam make those file please upload them so I can start to test LanPuppy.

Yep; usually I run scripts with: ./
Example: ./xmklanpup
The file I posted runs fine with a click in ROX.
As I said above... LanPuppy-1.0 (this one) is ONLY for versions of Puppy-1.
Puppy-2.x.x WON'T WORK!!!!!
So I can't make a client for you out of SeaMonkey. (Sorry)
The reason being that Barry changed the way the boot scripts work.
Puppy-1 most of the work is done in: /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit
Puppy-2 most of the work is done in: /sbin/init
Maybe I'll make a LanPuppy version for Puppy-2.x.x, most people are using it.
I haven't yet seen anything that Puppy-2 does that Puppy-1 won't do.
So I'm not all that influenced to bother to upgrade to Puppy-2 yet.
Also Puppy-1 sort of lends itself to being a LanPuppy (file structure).
The Puppy-1 SimplePup I liked because of the Xfce window manager (beautiful).
ANY of the NEWER Puppy-1 versions should work (1.0.5 - 1.0.9).
John Murga's Puppy version would boot & run without the need for Samba.
This simplifies the setup & booting a fair amount.
What window manager & apps. do you want the client to have?
Also you didn't say what the server was, Puppy or Win.?

iso file used puppy109CE.iso
So far so good.all files were created upon running of the xmklanpup.
x didnt start.I was able to power off system from promt.
Does 109CE has gui or its only command line?
So far I concluded that LanPuppy is working, just fine tunnings for now.I gonna go right back and try another puppy flavor.Back to testing.

As I said, I liked SimplePup 0.3 or 0.31, it has the XFCE window manager.
The files are put in: /tftpboot/(name of the ISO file)
So you must copy them to the dirs. stated in the final popup window of xmklanpup.
This is to keep different LanPuppy version apart so they won't be copied over.
Also there MUST be /homes/pup-1 /homes/pup-2 dirs. (one for each client PC)
for the clients to make SAVE files in.
gabev... THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT ..... WHAT are you using for the server?
Linux running Samba with my smb.conf file will auto. mount client HOME shares.
Win. WON'T DO THIS! So modifications would have to be made to the boot script.
If using Win., I assume your using tftpd32 for the boot server daemon.
You'll HAVE to setup shares in Win. for: /docs, /public, /sys
The HOMES shares (pup-1, etc.) are a problem as Win. won't auto. connect the client to it's HOME.
This is the file structure of PupServer & LanPuppy:
/mnt/home/docs ..... (a common read-only documents share for all clients)
/mnt/home/public ..... (a common read-write public share for all clients)
/mnt/home/lanpup/sys/usr_cram.fs ..... (the one being booted)
/mnt/home/lanpup/tools/(various tools)
/mnt/home/lanpup/image_files/(files to be added to image.gz)
/mnt/home/tftpboot/vmlinuz ..... (the one being booted)
/mnt/home/tftpboot/image.gz ..... (the one being booted)
/mnt/home/tftpboot/(LanPuppy versions)/(LanPuppy version files)
/mnt/home/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default ..... (PxeLinux config. file)

The xmklanpup works good now, it does create the necesary files.
I worked a couples of pup1 iso .the pxe boot is working but the image created could not load properly.I was able to boot just the busy box after which I had a message that the X could not be started and that puppy was unable to mount the usr_cram.fs on /usr.I saw a couples of errors refering to smb-mounts also , but , at this point I dont know if its my hardrive which is failing or just some unrelated errors.I will start again from scratch with a different hardrive and a new Puppy install and see if I get the same errors.
I do use Linux Puppy 211-seamonkey as server with Samba instaled ( i followed your instructions on how to install LanPuppy ) .The client is a ntavo machine without hard drive nor flash card, just 128 MB of RAM and PXE capable.
Gee, i didnt see what time it is.I will continue tommorrow.

gabev; ReREAD MY POST ABOVE! (I added to it)
You have to tell me what your server is !!!!!!!!!
The Samba errors are because there are no SMB shares for the client to mount!
usr_cram.fs is suppost to be in the /sys share, it can't find it if the share isn't mounted,
and X is in the usr_cram.fs file, so X can't load if this file isn't mounted!

the Samba server package is : samba-3.021c.pup
I did install LanPuppy101.pup also.
I will do a fresh install tommorrow on a different hardrive and see if i will have the same issues.Maybe is my hardrive getting corrupted.
other boot errors on the client :
cp cannot stat '/usr' : No such file or directory
init started BusyBox..etc etc
Mounting /proc : Can't find /proc in etc/fstab...

So your server is Puppy-1.x.x ?
I'm not sure the Samba package or my LanPuppy package will work with a Puppy-2.x.x server.
"Cannot stat /usr" is because the usr_cram.fs file IS the /usr dir.
I'm not sure about the /proc mount, but with the other errors it's not important.
When the other errors are corrected, the odd errors will usually go away.
PupServer is the Puppy that you installed the Samba & LanPuppy packages to.
It servs the boot files (vmlinuz & image.gz) to the client PCs by TFTP.
Then the SMB shares /docs, /public, /sys, /homes/pup-{N} are smbmounted.
All the apps., X, & pretty much everything is in the usr_cram.fs file that's in /sys.
The kernel vmlinuz is ~ 1mb, image.gz is ~ 7mb, & usr_cram.fs is ~ 40 to 80mb.
All 3 of these files are compressed, so uncompressed they'd be 2 to 3 times larger.
Q #1) What version of Puppy (exactly) did you install Samba & LanPuppy to?
Q #2) Is the PupServer & LanPuppy dirs. in the path: /mnt/home ?
.......................... (like the dir. list in the post above)
Again... If you'd like a step by step description of the full boot process, say so.

Now that probably explains it.
in my setup I downloaded puppy 2.11 seamonkey and instaled it into my HD. After that I instaled Samba 3.0.21c.pup than I instaled LanPuppy 101.Basically I just followed the instructions found on the wiki page :http://puppylinux.org/wikka/LanPuppy.
As you mentioned , pupserver might not work on other pups 2 versions.Probably thats why I got those samba errors on boot.
I will install SimplePup as a server and follow from there.

As the original post said, Pizzasgood's "EmptyCrust107" was what I used for the server.
It's been stripped of most of the apps. so it's smaller in size.
However if you intend to use the server PC to web browse or other stuff SimplePup03 should work.
The number of downloads of the LanPuppy package has got me thinking of making a full distro.
I'm looking into it, it'll probably take a little bit as the server will have to be remastered.

Post subject: LanPup
Please, let me know what I can do to help. I have gotten pretty good at Unleashed. I just posted the base puplet that I used for iPup on my archive. If that looks like something you could use, I can change the opening boot screen to reflect your own tastes, etc.
Anyways, I love to tinker. Let me know how I can help.

Todd; I haven't heard of iPup (not an iPod I assume... ha ha), what it like?
Is it based on Puppy-2? What 's the WM, what apps. does it have, etc.?
PupServer is a boot & Samba server built on Pizzasgood's EmptyCrust107.
LanPuppy is any version of Puppy-1.x.x with the boot code modified to do a PXE boot.
PupServer will have to be remastered to join Samba & the boot daemons to it.
It's been working for quite some time now, so cleaning it up & remastering is the job.
Once it's ready to release as a beta package it'll need testing. I'll let you know.
gabev; What's you network card type? Post it & hopfully help will come.
I really liked XFCE for it's design, different from WinBlows & cleaner.
Most WMs seem to be carbon copys of WinSnows (IceWM, JWM, etc.).
I haven't even seen the full XFCE WM yet, SimplePup has a slimmed down version.
The full XFCE has a complete desktop environment & apps. like KDE.
In the future I want to try it out & make a LanPuppy with the full XFCE.

LED strips are a great way to accent cars, homes or make unique projects. What makes strips great are the fact they are flexible. We offer LED strips that are only mm in thickness. Choose the color you want, as they come in all colors. Most of our LED strips are waterproof and very flexible for curved surfaces. 3M adhesive is already applied, simply pull the tape off and apply to a clean surface. It is important that any surface you apply to is cleaned with alcohol or windex.
RGB and choosing the right control box. We offer IR and RF controllers. RF means radio frequency while IR means Infrared. What does this mean to you? Ease of use. RF you can point the controller any direction, as you would say a garage opener. IR, works like a TV remote. You must aim it one direction at the sensor. If you take a TV remote and shine the opposite direction, your TV won't turn on. With RF, no matter what direction you point it will work. It uses radio signals not light signals.
Power supply needed or not? Power supply's also known as AC-DC transformers convert your house voltage that runs at AC 110-240V to 12V DC. Most LED products run at this voltage including the RGB control boxes. If you want to install strips in your house or business, you need this power supply. Some of our kits include it. If installing in your car or RV. You won't need it since vehicles run at 12-14V DC which is perfect for direct connection to the RGB controller or directly to our LED strips.

Most drugs and vaccines are safe for women to take while breastfeeding, the American Academy of Pediatrics re-emphasized, noting proposed changes to drug labeling that should make checking easier.
Caution is needed for the small proportion of drugs that are concentrated in human milk, have a long half-life, have known toxicity to mother or child, or expose the infant to relatively high doses or detectable serum concentrations, according to a clinical guidance report in the September issue of Pediatrics.
Clinicians should look up safety of specific medications on the National Library of Medicine's peer-reviewed LactMed database online, Hari Cheryl Sachs, MD, a pediatrician at the FDA in Rockville, Md., and colleagues wrote.
Her agency proposed a change in drug labeling in 2008 and is now working on the final rule.
The "Nursing Mothers" section that often simply advised caution or discontinuation of breastfeeding or the drug, depending on importance to the mother, would be replaced with a section called "Lactation." This will summarize what is known about drug secretion in milk and potential effects on the infant, what can be done to minimize infant exposure, and how to monitor for adverse effects.
A cautious approach emphasizing fear of adverse effects for their baby has led many mothers to unnecessarily stop breastfeeding or avoid taking essential medications, Sachs's group pointed out.
"The benefits of breastfeeding outweigh the risk of exposure to most therapeutic agents via human milk," they wrote in the report.
Even when clinicians use these resources, the paucity of data means clinical judgement will still be required, cautioned Ruth A. Lawrence, MD, a pediatrician and clinical toxicologist at the University of Rochester Medical Center in Rochester, N.Y., who was director of one of the first poison control centers in the country.
The report agreed, citing the greater vulnerability of some infants, such a preemies or neonates, due to immature organ function or underlying medical conditions.
"Consultation with a specialist may be indicated, particularly when the use of radiopharmaceuticals, oncologic drugs, or other therapies not addressed by LactMed is contemplated," it added.
Maternal immunization isn't a problem for breastfeeding infants, even for live vaccines, such as rotavirus, according to the guidance document.
The exceptions were immunization against human papillomavirus (HPV) for mothers of infants vulnerable to respiratory illnesses, such as preterm infants or those with congenital heart disease or chronic respiratory problems, and vaccination against smallpox or yellow fever, due to high risk of vaccinia for the child.
The report also addressed common concerns about antidepressants, anxiolytics, and antipsychotics, many of which show up in low concentrations in breast milk.
Clinically significant levels of drug have been reported in breast milk for bupropion (Wellbutrin), diazepam (Valium), fluoxetine (Prozac), citalopram (Celexa), lithium (Eskalith), lamotrigine (Lamictal), and venlafaxine (Effexor).
A long half-life also means relatively high infant plasma concentrations with a number of serotonin reuptake inhibitors, antipsychotics, anxiolytics, and mood stabilizers.
Again, the report recommended counseling women who want to breastfeed while taking these medications on the risk-benefit balance and the unknown long-term impact for the child.
It also addressed the "numerous questions" raised about the use of methadone for treating opioid dependence in lactating women since the last report in 2003. The report pointed out that although the product label cites risk of lethargy, respiratory difficulty, and poor weight gain in exposed infants, methadone levels are low in breast milk and infant plasma.
Guidelines from the Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine support breastfeeding for women on methadone as part of a methadone-maintenance program.
Codeine and hydrocodone should be used cautiously for nursing mothers and with close monitoring due to poor clearance in neonates and adverse events seen in ultra-rapid metabolizers; other narcotic painkillers are preferred.
The statement indicated that any conflicts of interest have been resolved through a process approved by the AAP board of directors.
All AAP clinical reports expire 5 years after publication unless reaffirmed, revised, or retired at or before that time.
