There is a proposal in the Senate's pending tax bill, The Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization, and Job Creation Act of 2010, to revamp estate taxes for 2011 from what was scheduled to become law on Jan. 1 if Congress took no action. The current proposal would lower the maximum estate-tax rates, and raise the exclusions, from what they were in 2009.
For 2011 and 2102, this "temporary relief," according to the draft of the bill, calls for "reinstatement of the estate tax; repeal of carryover basis; modifications to estate, gift, and generation-skipping transfer taxes;" and "applicable exclusion amount increased by unused exclusion amount of deceased spouse."
"If it goes through as proposed—of course they could change it in January—it'll mean, for most of us, that the estate tax has become less and less of a problem," says Harold Evensky (left), president of Evensky & Katz Wealth Management, in Coral Gables, Fla.
According to a CCH Tax Briefing Bulletin on Friday, the proposed bill calls for:
- 35% maximum estate-tax rate
- $5 million exclusion for individuals; $10 million for married couples
- Stepped-up basis for "all assets included in the gross estate"
- Repeal of carryover basis (used in 2010 on capital gains in estates)
- Heirs can choose, for those who died during 2010, "carryover basis rules under EGTRRA or the revived stepped-up basis rules under the bill."
- Spouses can choose to use the "unused portion of the estate tax exclusion," of the spouse who died before them
"At $10 million for couples—we certainly have some clients it will hit but it's a relatively small percentage, and I would say that's true across the board for most advisors. So it will simply minimize the times we get concerned with trying to figure out how to manipulate, manage or avoid [estate taxes]. Joint and survivor insurance sales is likely to drop off," Evensky explains. "Even at the $10 million [level], the tax rate has dropped significantly, so it makes [joint and survivor insurance] somewhat less competitive as an alternative investment."
"That's where the biggest impact is going to be," Evensky adds, "on those practitioners who make a major part of their business by doing [joint and survivor insurance]."
If the first spouse to die doesn't need their entire $5 million exclusion, a surviving spouse can use what's left of that exemption, in addition to their own, boosting the exemption of the second spouse to die. "That's interesting," Evensky notes. "That would mean we don't have to stand on our head to split estates—it would simplify things. We're often trying to figure out things to equalize estates."
Changes to the Generation-Skipping Tax, Gift Tax
The new bill would change the generation-skipping tax (GST) for 2010: "the Senate bill provides for a zero percent GST rate for 2010 and a $5 million exemption." For 2011, as the pending bill, CCH notes, "reunifies the gift and estate taxes, which were decoupled under EGTRRA," the rates for 2011 and 2012 would match "the maximum estate tax rates and exclusion," or 35% and a $5 million exclusion.
Retroactive Choice for Heirs of 2010 Estates
The bill also, according to CCH, adds an option for heirs of those who died in 2010, when there was no "estate" tax but there was a capital gains tax on the estate's assets, based on a sometimes difficult-to-comply-with "modified carryover basis." Now heirs can choose either the "modified carryover basis" for the estate's capital gains or the stepped-up basis that is proposed for the estate tax for 2011 and 2012.
What "really surprised me, [was] looking at the possibility of giving us a choice for 2010," says Diahann Lassus (left), president of Lassus Wherley, in New Providence, N.J., and Bonita Springs, Fla. "For the estates of people that are "not super-wealthy" and passed away in 2010, "their families could really benefit from having that choice of having that step-up," instead of the carryover basis that was the rule for 2010 with the sunset of the estate tax at the end of 2009.
"It would be retroactive to Jan.1, 2010, and heirs of those who died in 2010 would have the option…to accept the no-estate tax, as it exists, meaning there would be limited step-up," Lassus explains. "This year you had zero estate tax but the first $1.3 million in gains you could get a step-up on. You had to figure out all the cost basis and figure out what you wanted to have the step up for—so it was pretty insane to try to do that. If they made this retroactive, people could choose to go under this new bill with $5 million exemption and step-up for more."
"My assumption is that it's targeted at the middle wealth folks, with small businesses who really were hurt by the elimination of the estate tax, in some ways, because of the blowing up the step-up for small businesses," Lassus adds.
'The Santa Claus Bill'
"The other big surprise is the increase of the generation-skipping tax (GST) and the gift tax to the $5 million level," Lassus says. "That one will be helpful for everybody that's trying to pass money to the next generation. The GST "before was $1 million equivalent; this year it doesn't exist—which is bizarre. Under the new [proposal] it would go to the $5 million and the 35% tax rate would apply for over the $5 million…if it went back to the original tax, it would have been at a $1 million level, so the difference—even if you forget the tax rate—the $1 million versus $5 million is huge for larger estates where they're trying to pass more money to their kids without tax!"
Clarifying Uncertainty
"I think it's pretty much a done deal for the Senate—the open question is what happens with the House. The challenge for most of us that are trying to help our clients with their estate planning is how do you plan when you don't have any real idea of what's going to happen…From my perspective that's the most critical piece of this is to get something in place."
"In some ways it will help regardless of the level," of rates or exclusions, according to Lassus, because "it will clarify things."
But it won't be over until the bill, in its final form, passes. Says Evensky: "I typically pay no attention to tax legislation until it's passed! I've spent way too much time trying to figure it out, plan for it and parse it and at the last minute it gets changed. I just wait until they're done."

The Boston Red Sox showed their resourcefulness in beating the Tampa Bay Rays 3-1 to advance to the American League Championship Series on Tuesday.
The Red Sox claimed the best-of-five American League Division Series 3-1 and next host either Oakland or Detroit in a best-of-seven set, scheduled to start on Saturday in Boston, for the right to represent the American League in the World Series.
The A's and the Tigers are tied 2-2 in their series with the deciding Game 5 to be played in Oakland today.
Boston squandered solid scoring chances early, including a bases loaded, no-out opportunity in the second inning, but despite not hitting up to par overcame a 1-0 deficit late in the game against a merry-go-round of Rays pitchers.
"This is a team that is smart in between the lines," Red Sox manager John Farrell said. "They relish the opportunities that they get. We're not done yet and we're moving on."
The Red Sox scored two runs in the seventh inning on a wild pitch by reliever Joel Peralta and an infield single by Shane Victorino, before adding an insurance marker in the ninth after closer Fernando Rodney walked two, threw a wild pitch and hit a batter to set the stage for a sacrifice fly by Dustin Pedroia.
Tampa Bay, desperate to avoid elimination, used nine pitchers, tying the post-season record. Although they yielded just six hits they combined to issue eight walks and twice hit Victorino with pitches.
Boston closer Koji Uehara bounced back from a rare failure on Monday, when he served up a game-ending home run to Jose Lobaton, by registering a four-out save, striking out Rays slugger Evan Longoria to end it.
The Red Sox revised their roster and changed managers after a dismal 69-93 last-place showing last year and this season tied for the best record in the majors at 97-65.
"Just because we lost a lot of games last year, I believed that we'd be back," Pedroia said. "The front office put together a team with a lot of guys that wanted to win and we're showing it. Guys grinded out at-bats, found a way to score a couple of runs and the pitching staff did a great job."
It was an "all hands on deck" approach by Tampa Bay manager Joe Maddon, who removed starting pitcher Jeremy Hellickson in the second inning after he loaded the bases with none out.
In came reliever Jamey Wright, who wriggled out of the jam by striking out Jared Saltalamacchia and getting a double play off a line drive by Stephen Drew hit at first baseman James Loney.
After the early missed opportunities for Boston, the Rays were first to get on the scoreboard.
Yunel Escobar led off the sixth inning against Boston starter Jake Peavy with a double high off the fence in left and then scored on a single to right by David DeJesus, but Boston kept scrapping and got a spark when Farrell played a hunch and pinch-hit 21-year-old rookie Xander Bogaerts of Curacao for Drew in the seventh against lefty Jake McGee.
Bogaerts drew a walk and with two outs red-hot Jacoby Ellsbury improved his series batting average to .500 with a single, moving Bogaerts to third and in came reliever Joel Peralta.
With Ellsbury running on a stolen base try, Peralta bounced a change-up to Victorino that skipped by catcher Lobaton.
Bogaerts scored and Ellsbury went all the way to third, from where he scored on a little dribbler to short that Victorino beat out for an infield hit.

In what is expected to become an annual tradition, Goshen, Ind.-based Keystone RV Co. welcomes Big Brothers Big Sisters of Elkhart County to a weekend of RV camping at Twin Mills Camping Resort in nearby LaGrange County June 8-10.
The Kamp Keystone event will offer children ("Littles") and their mentors ("Bigs") the opportunity to enjoy the outdoors in comfort through the use of Keystone campers, according to a news release.
Kamp Keystone was started in 2007 as a way for Keystone employees to actually use and enjoy the RVs they manufacture, while providing valuable product feedback to the company. This year Keystone decided to take it a step further by inviting Big Brothers Big Sisters to join in the fun.
Keystone RV President Matt Zimmerman says Kamp Keystone is another way for the company to give back to the community. According to Zimmerman, "The Keystone family is one of the largest contributors to the Elkhart County United Way. Throwing the doors open to Kamp Keystone enables us to do even more. As the father of two young boys, I personally believe camping with your family is one of the best investments you can make. Through Kamp Keystone we expect to make a positive contribution in these young people's lives."
"The strength of the BBBS program lies within the opportunities where 'Bigs' can be a positive example to their 'Littles.' These experiences are enhanced when 'Littles' are exposed to things that they never even knew existed," noted Big Brothers Big Sisters Executive Director Stephanie Patka. "For many of our 'Littles,' Kamp Keystone will be their first exposure to camping with activities like hiking, fishing, swimming and roasting marshmallows. We are thrilled to partner with Keystone and believe this weekend will result in a tremendous experience for our 'Littles' that will last a lifetime."

Maine Commissioner Signs Off on New Household Chemical Rules
Maine Public Broadcasting Network
- 6/11/2015.
AP - Maine Department of Environmental Protection Commissioner Patricia Aho is signing off on a ruling to elevate certain kinds of household chemicals to priority status. Aho's approval elevates four phthalates "high concern'' to "priority chemical'' status in Maine.
Opposition To Industry Chemical Bill Continues to Build
Environmental Working Group
- 4/8/2015.
By Mary Ellen Kustin - Medical professionals, scientists, states attorneys general, legal scholars and public interest organizations are all speaking up against the Udall-Vitter Toxic Substances Control Act reform bill (S. 697) backed by chemical companies. This industry bill, which is worse than the existing law, is so broken the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency hasn't even been able to ban asbestos under its authority.
Industry Chemical Bill Worse Than Current Law
Environmental Working Group
- 3/10/2015.
By Scott Faber - Consumers rightly expect that the chemicals used in everyday products are safe. But an industry-supported bill released today (March 10) by Sens. Tom Udall (D-N.M.) and David Vitter (D-La.) falls far short of what's needed to evaluate and regulate potentially dangerous chemicals. In fact, the new bill is actually worse than the existing Toxic Substances Control Act – a law so broken that EPA has been powerless even to ban asbestos.
Gideon makes case for Healthy Kids Bill
Keep Me Current
- 3/10/2015.
By Larry Grard - A local legislator [Sara Gideon, D-Freeport] says a bill she has introduced would require the Maine Department of Environmental Protection to include notification on products that threaten the health of both children and pregnant women in any rule, including the most recent rule on phthalates, in accordance with existing state authority.
House Passes Bill to Ban Plastic Microbeads in Maine
Maine Public Broadcasting Network
- 3/10/2015.
Associated Press - Augusta: The Democratic-controlled Maine House has given final approval to a bill that would ban the sale of synthetic plastic microbeads in personal care products. The House voted 145-1 on Tuesday to send the bill to the Senate. Democratic Rep. Joan Welsh's bill would be phased in over three years and would be fully implemented by 2019. Welsh says in a statement that Mainers have the right to expect that their food and drinks doesn't contain "toxic plastics."
High Fructose Corn Syrup Now Labeled as Fructose or HFCS-90
Natural News
- 3/10/2015.
By Talya Dagan - The Corn Refiners Association is now labeling high fructose corn syrup as fructose. Packing on products such as General Mills Vanilla Chex cereal now states the product contains no high fructose corn syrup, while the ingredients list contains the simple word, "fructose." This fructose is actually a manufactured sugar called HFCS-90, and is made up of 90% pure fructose. High fructose corn syrup, or HFCS, contains 42% or 55 percent fructose. Health issues relating to free fructose include diabetes, leaky gut syndrome, and liver failure.
Chemical Exposure Linked to Billions in Health Care Costs
National Geographic

Uncomfortable. Cold. Awkward.
Typical words to describe a mammogram. The procedure can be intimidating, but SwedishAmerican Hospital's Center for Women is trying to make the experience more enjoyable.
"We started this program in July of last year," says Sonya Fogal, clerical supervisor/data analyst for the SwedishAmerican Breast Health Center. "We wanted to offer new services, and what a better way to begin than with a new twist on offering mammograms in a relaxing atmosphere, surrounded by friends.
"Women always enjoy the evening at Girls' Night Out."
Two more "Girls' Night Out: This One's for the Girls!" are on the calendar: 5 to 7:30 p.m. Nov. 12 and Dec. 10.
How it works: Individual women or a group of friends can schedule blocks of appointments for mammograms, with no physician's order required. An appointment for each member of a group is required for participation. Names and phone numbers for each person are required at the time of scheduling. Participants are encouraged to arrive 30 minutes before their appointments.
What to expect: In addition to the screening, participants can enjoy chair massages and refreshments provided by SwedishAmerican, and beauty treatments and trunk shows by local vendors. The only cost incurred is the mammogram.
"The trunk shows are brought in by local companies to showcase their products and they often provide free samples," Fogal says.

International Rugby
McKenzie plays down Ireland link
ESPN Staff
March 22, 2013

Reds boss Ewen McKenzie has attempted to play down reports suggesting he is poised to replace Declan Kidney as Ireland coach.
McKenzie announced earlier this week that he would be leaving the Queensland-based Super Rugby franchise in order to further his hopes of coaching at international level and was subsequently linked with the Ireland job with Kidney under increasing pressure following a dismal Six Nations campaign and out of contract at the end of a season that has seen his side slump to an all-time low in the world rankings.
"I always say timing is everything but sometimes it won't matter what the timing is as interpretations are always varied," McKenzie wrote in the Sydney Morning Herald. "For example, the connection of Ireland losing on the weekend and my announcement were purely coincidence. I didn't wake up on Sunday and see Ireland lose only to think I should hold a press conference to capitalise on that. Nor did Ireland ring me up and offer me a job when as far as they and the world knew, I already had one."
McKenzie, who steered the Reds to the 2011 Super Rugby title, has long been linked with the Australia coaching job having previously served as assistant coach under Eddie Jones and been offered the job in 2006 only to have turned it down because he didn't believe he was qualified to take on such a role.
However, current Wallabies boss Robbie Deans is contracted to the end of the year and with the Australian Rugby Union recently confirming he will be in charge of their tour of Europe in November only a calamitous series against the British & Irish Lions later this year is likely to prompt a premature end to that working relationship.
As a result, McKenzie may be tempted by an offer to return to the northern hemisphere, where he spent a year in charge of French side Stade Francais, when he parts company with the Reds in July or August should they reach the Super Rugby title decider. Although, Waratahs coach Michael Chieka is among those to have expressed concern that McKenzie may be lost to Australian rugby.
"The other obvious connection was to the Wallabies job," wrote McKenzie. "It is important that I reiterate that while I have ambitions to coach my country at the highest level, the announcement was by no means associated with applying added pressure to the process.
"People love a conspiracy. But if it was a conspiracy theory, it has been running for at least three years and across two ARU regimes. Watergate looks like small bikkies by comparison. The reality is, the Wallaby coaching position is all about timing. You have to be the best person when they actually want to appoint someone and until it's a vacant position, it's not available."
An under-strength Ireland side, stripped of those players selected for the Lions tour to Australia, are set to tackle the USA and Canada in the summer with reports suggesting assistant coach Les Kiss could be put in temporary charge of the side until McKenzie, with whom he worked with at the Waratahs, is free to take the team's reins.
However, Leinster coach Joe Schmidt is the bookmakers' favourite to step up to the national side should Kidney, as expected, be shown the exit. Brumbies coach and former South Africa boss Jake White, another to have been linked with the Wallabies, is also reportedly in the running as is current Harlequins boss Conor O'Shea.

With "Fast & Furious 6" roaring into theaters this week, guests at the U.S. premiere of the film at Universal CityWalk got an early taste of the franchise's signature, over-the-top style -- including slick cars, tough characters and a grill-wearing panda.
The scene along the red carpet exemplified the kind of amiable culture clash that results when a big-money franchise is built upon the tastes of a young urban fan base.
The "Fast & Furious" movies star Vin Diesel as ex-con street racer Dominic Toretto, whose familial criminal crew includes former cop Brian O'Conner (Paul Walker), gearhead Tej Parker (Ludacris), former gang member Han (Sung Kang) and former Mossad agent Gisele Harabo (Gal Gadot).
At the premiere Tuesday night, suit-clad agents, producers and car company executives made their way down the carpet as a fog of pot smoke wafted in from the adjacent, pre-movie fan concert featuring the rappers 2 Chainz and Wiz Khalifa, who appear on the movie's soundtrack.
Actor Tyrese Gibson took the concert stage and proclaimed the action series "one of the most progressive franchises in film history" -- a nod, perhaps, to "Fast & Furious' " multicultural cast, flinty female characters or extravagant, mostly CGI-free car chase scenes, such as one in the new film in which an Army tank crushes a 1969 Mustang.
Michelle Rodriguez, whose mechanic/street racer character Letty is revived in the new movie after an apparent death in the fourth film, posed for photographers in a demure, floor-length white gown before turning to a fan screaming her name from the bleachers. "Yo! That's my crew," Rodriguez shouted, flexing a muscle.
As Wiz Khalifa's anthem "Work Hard Play Hard" boomed in the background, the famous and the semi-famous posed beside cars from the film that were parked along the carpet -- passersby included model (and Wiz Khalifa's girlfriend) Amber Rose, actress Tara Reid and the visually arresting pop group Fly Panda, whose entourage included a statuesque, tattoo-covered woman with a mohawk, a guy in a "Billionaire" snapback and a panda wearing gold chains and a grill.
After the movie screened at the Gibson Amphitheatre, the party sprawled out onto the concourse, with women in short shorts dancing on a stage above a dessert table stacked with pastel-colored macaroons and mini chocolate mousses.
Kim Kold, a hulking, 300-pound body builder and actor with a fight scene opposite Dwayne Johnson in the film, shook hands and posed for photos while Rodriguez -- having shed her gown for a more casual black blouse and pants-- took over the DJ booth for a set.
"Fast & Furious 6," which has already opened in parts of Europe and Asia, opens in the U.S. on Friday.

Please post your simple tricks you know but others don't
Subject description: Like using "ldd" command to show dependencies
Hello Everyone,
Even those you'd think would know everything there is to know about Linux and Puppy might not know or remember even what you'd call the "Linux Basics" even a newbie would know that!
Here's an example I'd forgot about ldd what is ldd well if you open a terminal in a folder with say libflashplayer.so ldd will tell you what dependencies libflashplayer.so requires to work correctly.
Forum members dawnsboy and Michalis reminded me of that and this got me thinking "Knowledge is Power" lets get these little what you might call simple tips down in a forum post for everyone to read and learn.
Lets say that new forum member "boo" reads your tip and discovers through learning and experiment like I did how to get an app working, gets the satisfaction like I did and gets hooked and searches to learn more here on the forum as well as on the web and other forums.
Now a year or two pass by and "boo" has become quite the Linux expert and through a twist of fate answers a post you have made providing you with the required fix you need all because of the simple tip you posted.
So lets get posting and improve everyone's knowledge including your own.
Legacy OS 2017 has been released.

I think my favourite tip about Linux is that just about everything appears in the filesystem. There is some useful stuff in there!
For example, /proc gives access to a load of system info. This knowledge allows me to monitor the DC input to my elderly laptop with very unwell battery and pop up a dialog box to warn if the power lead falls out, before the battery dies.
Second tip is to put this script in /root/Startup/ - any executable in this directory will run when the system starts.
This script may be specific to this Toshiba laptop, but digging around in /proc/acpi/ should reveal where the useful parts are for your system.
# AC Power monitoring script
# This script monitors the AC power connection every 30 seconds
# and pops up a message box if the power is disconnected
# AC Power state is available in: /proc/acpi/ac_adapter/ADP1/state
# Power disconnected, file contains: state:<spaces>off-line
# Power connected, file contains: state:<spaces>on-line
# define script name for use in dialog box titles
while [ 0 ] # repeat for ever
if grep -q off-line /proc/acpi/ac_adapter/ADP1/state
vMessage="Mains power failure!"
Xdialog --left --title $cScriptName --msgbox "$vMessage" 10 50
sleep 30 # sleep for 30 seconds

Many people don't know how to upload a text file to the forum quickly and easily. Consequently we often get some very long posts. The forum will accept .gz and .zip files as attachments. So the quickest and easiest way I find to compress a single file is with gzip.
To gzip a file open a terminal (usually rxvt or urxvt in Puppy). If your file is in your "/root" directory type:
gzip /root/myfile
where my file is the file you want to zip.
This is great for long log files so others more knowledgeable can help you with your issues.
Conversly, if you download a "gzip" file , say myfile.gz, it will probably be saved in "/root/my-documents" or "/root/downloads". Unzip it in a terminal emulator with:
gunzip /root/my-documents/myfile.gz
and the file will be extracted in /root/my-documents. Obviously you replace "my-documents" with "downloads" if it is in /root/downloads.

Sometimes, we execute files just by tiping, for example, "firefox" on console. When we need to make a shortcut, sometimes we need the full path.
In those cases, instead of searching manually, one can do the following:

Post subject: Desktop shortcut to website
Right click the browser icon
Select "edit item"
If you add the website address to the "arguments to pass" line then the browser will open at that website.
I have two browser icons - one labeled "browser" which opens to my home page (i.e the arguments line is blank) and the other is labelled "google docs" and opens directly into google docs
Unfortunately the executable file is the same for both (or more) and as such the icon is the same.
The example in the attached image would open the browser directly to E-Bay
The browser opens directly to E-Bay

To extend that, use back quotes. Linux, like Unix before it, will take something in back quotes, run it and return the
to the shell.
So if I want the make the location of Firefox a variable, I can say
FIREFOX=`which firefox`
echo $FIREFOX
This is a handy construct in shell scripts where the value may be different on one system than another.

G0XAN, That is a *dandy* little script you got there. I was looking for a answer to that problem a few days ago myself. I had to modify the path to the state file for my laptop config and extended the test period to 10 minutes, after that it works like a champ! Here is my version in case anyone wants to see the differences for their own tweaking.
# AC Power monitoring script
# This script monitors the AC power connection every 30 seconds
# and pops up a message box if the power is disconnected
# AC Power state is available in: /proc/acpi/ac_adapter/ADP1/state
# Power disconnected, file contains: state:<spaces>off-line
# Power connected, file contains: state:<spaces>on-line
# define script name for use in dialog box titles
while [ 0 ] # repeat for ever
if grep -q off-line /proc/acpi/ac_adapter/AC/state #-----------Modify this line for your path to the state file....
vMessage="Mains power failure!"
Xdialog --left --title $cScriptName --msgbox "$vMessage" 10 50
sleep 600 # sleep for 600 seconds (10 minutes)-------Modify this line for your time interval....

Post subject: Obsolete knowledge: spelling
Here's a tip I posted some time back. The original purpose was to get spell checking with Sylpheed, which had been compiled without built-in spell checking. This is useful as an example of a work around for other purposes. You don't have to use options like the external editor hook in Sylpheed for the original purpose. (Of course, you must install the aspell dictionary for the language you want to use.) For most people this will be useful only as an example of how to launch a program which runs in a terminal window.
At present, I'm on a machine fast enough to use Abiword for spell checking. You simply install the dictionaries you use under Abiword, and select the option for automatic spell checking. Then you define Abiword as your external editor. Because Abiword is part of standard Puppy this is a quick hack for getting spell checking if you replace Seamonkey mail with Sylpheed. (Seamonkey mail has its own spell checking, using a different program and dictionaries.) I haven't used the older hack in a while, because Abiword is good enough, on this machine, even if it doesn't know to ignore links in email.
On older versions of Puppy, there is a Gtkspell package that works, and has less overhead, but it hasn't been updated to work with Puppy 4 series.
prehistoric wrote:
There are versions of Sylpheed with built-in spell checking, but the ones making it into Puppy packages generally don't have it. I can't comment on Sypheed under 4.0 because I'm not running that, but I have long used it under 3.01 with a hack that gives me simple spell checking, if not the best interface. I have defined the external editor, (common preferences->details->external commands) as follows:
rxvt -e aspell -e -c %s
This tells it to run aspell in a terminal with email rules and interactive correction on the file passed to the command. Most of the time the correction I want is in the first 3 alternatives it presents.
I keep thinking I'll get around to installing gtkspell and keep forgetting, because this is just good enough for the present.

Post subject: the old center click trick
Suppose you are using an rxvt console to get debugging information by running a command that is producing error messages. How do you get those messages into a text editor?
prehistoric wrote:
dougeeebear wrote:
...Is there a way to copy/paste with that stupid console?
Is there something better with some features and tabs?
Open a text editor window, select the text you want in the console window, then center click in the editor window to copy to the editor. (You can emulate center click by clicking both right and left buttons simultaneously.)
Old Unix hands will remember using tee to send or append output to a file, while still seeing it on the console. Puppy has busybox tee. You can merge error output with standard, if cryptic, command line syntax, used here to save output from a make command used to build a program.
make 2>&1 | tee build.log
There is also a utility called
on many Linux systems which records entire terminal sessions. Has anyone packaged this for Puppy?
Added: This just came up on
a separate thread
, after I posted here.
There may be a little confusion about that last command. Tee splits the output stream and sends one branch to the file, the standard output from tee still appears on the console, if not directed elsewhere. This way tee can be used for debugging long pipelines of commands. Just insert tees where you want to capture output.

Post subject: command line downloads, etc.
Here's an exchange I just ran across. The original problem was putting the wrong link in the box for pwget. (A link to a directory, not a file.) This is explained further down.
In the process, we learn about a robust command for downloads. Before I found Puppy Linux, I used this method to build an entire system from source, before I got the GUI working. If the Linux system you're on doesn't have wget, it probably has serious deficiencies. In the world before flash drives,
Tom's root/boot floppy
got me many things this way, even on machines where very little worked.
BTW: notice that "Roy" uses 'the old center click trick' described above.

How does one enter an address in pwget to download this iso ?It has the initial address shown in the first post in the thread ie http://www.puppylinux.asia/tpp/NOP which does not name the file in question. If I put this in pwget and give a download folder it shows the console with a link up process then this disappears and the download folder appears. If I add the ISO in question ie http://www.puppylinux.asia/tpp/NOP/puppy-431-boxpup.iso Then the same thing happens that is ,the console appears then disappears and the download folder appears. Am I missing something. I have downloaded ISO s before when the link has the whole address including the name of the ISO and had no problem.I put it down to premature senility but hope there is a better answer.
Roy wrote:
I do not know about pwget, but if you use the following commands in Puppy's desktop Console, it will work:
wget -c --user=puppy --password=linux http://www.puppylinux.asia/tpp/NOP/puppy-431-boxpup.iso
Should you need to interrupt your download for any reason, simply press Ctrl+C to pause it. Using your keyboard's Up Arrow will bring back the original command shown in the code window above; pressing Enter with your blinking cursor at the end of that command line will resume the file transfer. Using this command line with the '-c' in it will also cause the transfer to restart on its own if the connection is temporarily interupted.
Roy Thanks for that,it worked perfectly.I dont know why the pwget setup did not work but the CLI system is perfect. Unfortunately to some of us the Console stuff has to be spelt out.I only know enough about this stuff to know what I dont know, Also people who are working in a system that they deeply understand have trouble realising that others in another area havent a clue what they are talking about.
Anyway thanks again ,I guess that this just proves that if you want to know the answer you must ask the question.
Regards D.
Roy wrote:
You are right; the command line stuff is not what a typical Windows refugee needs to begin using Linux. Personally, I am extremely grateful for these guys who have gone out of their way to create GUI's for guys like us in the past year or two. I only know the wget commands because the GUI stuff was not available when I first started using Puppy.... BTW, you should notice that the wget commands download to your root directory, unless you open the Console from within another directory OR use 'cd /your/target/directory' before inputing the commands I previously provided.
anonymous newbie wrote:
Roy Unfortunately the wget and pwget seem to fall down on some download sites.I just tried to use it on this site http://lhpup.org/download443.htm#Base/LighthousePup-4.43-d.iso and it it downloaded for a couple of seconds and then declared itself finished.
Roy wrote:
That site does not require a username or password, as far as I know. For wget, your command line should look like this:
wget -c http://lhpup.org/beta/lhp443/LighthousePup-4.43-d.iso
Note the different web address in my command line, compared to what you were using. To find the correct address, go to the actual download webpage, Right click on the .iso file link, and select Copy Link Location from the drop down menu.
Now when you open your desktop Console, type 'wget -c', add a space with your space bar, and click by pushing down on the center (scroll wheel) of your mouse. This center-click will paste that copied file address into your console.
Hit your Enter key, sit back, and smile....
I think you were trying to download a link that pointed to a web page that contained another link to the file. When you put your mouse pointer over a file name on a web page, look down at the bottom of your Seamonkey screen. If you do not see the actual file name that you are wishing, then it isn't the actual file; it's just another webpage link.
Added: Just tried Tom's Root/Boot Floppy on a dual-core system with 2 GB RAM, to see if it would still work. There were some glitches, but overall it did. Considering the changes in computing since this was written, I'd call that remarkable.
For anyone perverse enough to try this themselves, here are a couple remarks. This program uses a non-standard format the Puppy floppy formatter will not create to fit more data on a floppy. There is a Linux program on the download which will access the raw device, and do what is necessary. Not all floppies, or floppy drives, will work, though most I've tried will.
When you try to run this program under Puppy according to his instructions, you will get an error, because Tom assumed the current directory is at the head of your PATH. (This is a terrible security hole for people running as root, and BarryK knows better.) The way around this is to temporarily prefix it to your PATH in a sub-shell.
(PATH=".:$PATH" ./install.s)
This illustrates a useful trick for setting variables used only in a particular context.
Here's a test, which also illustrates something about quoting and contexts in shell scripts:
# echo echo' $PATH'>eecho
# chmod +x eecho
# (PATH=".:$PATH" eecho)
# echo $PATH
# (PATH=".:$PATH" eecho)
# echo $PATH

I am fairly new to linux and spend a lot of time trying out new versions which I was burning to CD-R's. This created quite few coasters or frizbees, therefore, I began using CD-RW's to burn the new versions.
This has worked great for me. If the version is not a keeper, I simply use pburn to blank the CD-RW and reuse. Some of these have been reused 10-15 times and so far, no problems.
Hope this helps someone.

I expect this seems obvious but it took me about a week to work out
I install my puppy to external usb hard-drive.
Sometimes I make a complete mess of things and cant get back in after spending all day setting things up.
So now I install it all, get to the point where it is working just the way I like it,then boot from a live CD with the hard-drive turned off(so i don't confuse which drives are which),turn on the hard-drive and copy the save file to another location (partition or second hard-drive) then if I make a mess of things, I can just go copy the saved file back over the messed up one.
This is handy for the files that I download too .
I have a folder called saves where I put my downloaded files after I install them and that gets backed up on its own.
I dont think it really needs to be a harddrive, I think you could easily back up to dvdrw or cdrw instead.
Saves hours of putting everything back and means I'm not afraid to try a new application.

Wouldn't it be great if you could try on kitchen styles the way you walk into department stores and boutiques to test out a variety of clothes until you find the ones that fit perfectly? Sometimes you get that miraculous first pair of pants that slide on like they were made for you, but more often than not it takes a few tweaks of sizes and styles until you find the right look and fit. Why should kitchen design be any different?
While you can't test out your own kitchen with that sort of ease, you can visit cabinet company showrooms or furniture warehouses to get a better idea of what kind of kitchen style might best fit your look. In the meantime, consider these few varieties and one particular tip.
Before making over your kitchen, take into account whether you might want to go for a greener and energy-efficient space. If so you can make several investments beyond the Energy Star certified fridge or dishwasher. Radiant floor heating is a great way to heat a home and especially a kitchen. It fits under a variety of flooring types as well, which means that whatever style of kitchen you decide to settle on, it's guaranteed to both look and feel great.
Now that you're comfortable underfoot, look into a few of these kitchen styles, from the traditional to the modern.
1. Craftsman. Simple and strong define these kitchens, which are furnished with hardwood fixtures, furniture and cabinets, usually of oak or cherry species. Filled with straight lines and minimal ornamentation, this kitchen is efficient, warm and prizes quality above all else.
2. Contemporary. These are all sleek angles and stylish metals. Contemporary kitchens tend to have the industrial look of professional city restaurant kitchens, but with a touch of domestic warmth added by marble or granite countertops or fashionable wall art.
3. European. Mix the hearty wood of the craftsman with the economic and space-conscious size of the contemporary and you get the European-style kitchen. Based on the design of European home living, where rooms tend to be smaller and space is of the essence, these kitchens marry function and warmth for a uniquely modern and yet old-world feel.

Canaries in the Kitchen: An agonizing death
In cases of "Teflon toxicosis," as the bird poisonings are called, the lungs of exposed birds hemorrhage and fill with fluid, leading to suffocation. In a laboratory study in which birds were killed by non-stick fumes, Dr. Roger Wells, a veterinarian at Michigan State University, characterized the response in many of the exposed birds as "acute respiratory distress and rapid death" [1]. Wells' description of the progression of death in a group of birds exposed to PTFE fumes is consistent with most other documented cases of Teflon toxicosis, in which birds suffer for minutes or even hours before death:
"Clinical signs of toxicosis were varied and began with eyelid blinking at 8 to 10 minutes of exposure and progressed to open-beak panting, biting at the wire cage, incoordination, wing stretching and flapping, and chirping, and usually ended in a terminal convulsion, with the birds recumbent on their sides or backs."
The birds in this exposure group died within 17 to 27 minutes of exposure. In the same study birds in a lower dose group died up to 11 hours after exposure. The observations of pet bird owners who have lost birds to Teflon toxicosis are consistent with Wells' descriptions. Bird owners have described their birds gasping for breath, or laboring for breath with head bobbing back and forth before death. | View Bird death diaries
Scientists who have studied the lungs of birds killed by Teflon fumes find common signs of gross lung damage, including severe lesions in the most sensitive birds. Hallmark signs of PTFE poisoning in birds are lung congestion, fluid accumulation of the lung (edema), bleeding in the lung (hemorrhage), heart tissue death (necrosis of the atrial epithelium) and crystalline particulate deposition in certain lung cells (parenchyma). Autopsies also show brain hemorrhage, liver congestion, degeneration and necrosis; and heart muscle (myocardial) degeneration and necrosis.
Dr. Larry Thompson, a resident in veterinary toxicology at the University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine at Champaign-Urbana, says birds affected by Teflon toxicosis "show acute respiratory distress, dyspnea or difficulty breathing; they go into little rocking movements, ataxia; they look asleep or somnolent; then they go into agonal convulsions" [2]. In another account, the progression of death is described: "...the birds' lungs are scorched, causing blood vessels to rupture, and, within minutes, the poor animals literally suffocate in their own blood." [3].

BRUSSELS - Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and his NATO counterparts are considering leaving 8,000 to 12,000 troops in Afghanistan after 2014, but it was unclear how much of that force would be American, U.S. officials said Friday.
A dispute flared, but was quickly dissipated at the NATO defense ministers gathering here to discuss the endgame of the 11-year-old war in Afghanistan.
German Defense Minister Thomas de Maiziere told reporters that a post-2014 force of 8,000 to 10,000 American troops would remain in Afghanistan. Panetta denied that, saying the force of 8,000 to 12,000 would be international and the makeup was still under discussion.
Within hours, de Maiziere said his comments were "misleading," and that the force remaining would be international.
President Barack Obama has said that the last combat troops will leave Afghanistan on Dec. 31, 2014, leaving the bulk of the country's security in the hands of the Afghans.
Panetta, who will leave Obama's Cabinet when his successor is confirmed, told reporters that he and the NATO partners talked about ranges of options for the post-2014 troop force. And he said the figures reflected contributions that other nations would make, in addition to the United States.
"There's no question in the current budget environment, with deep cuts in European defense spending and the kind of political gridlock that we see in the United States now with regards to our own budget, is putting at risk our ability to effectively act together," he said. "As I prepare to step down as secretary of defense, I do fear that the alliance will soon be, if it is not already, stretched too thin."
His spokesman, George Little, told reporters that the range for an international force was 8,000 to 12,000, and that Obama had not yet decided on the size of the post-2014 force in Afghanistan.
"We will continue to discuss with allies and the Afghans how we can best carry out two basic missions: targeting the remnants of al-Qaida and its affiliates, and training and equipping Afghan forces," he said.
Panetta said officials are planning to leave troops in all sectors of the country as well as in Kabul. Pentagon officials have said the military has mapped out plans to carry on its mission of training and advising the Afghan forces and also leave a small counterterrorism force to battle insurgents.
When asked about troop numbers, NATO Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen told reporters that no decision had yet been made.
The Obama administration is considering a plan to maintain 352,000 Afghan troops for the next five years as part of an effort to maintain security and help convince Afghanistan that America and its allies will not abandon it once combat troops leave in 2014, senior alliance officials said Thursday. NATO officials are also widely considering that option.
Such a change, if NATO endorses it, could increase the costs to the U.S. and allies by more than $2 billion a year, at a time when most are struggling with budget cuts and fiscal woes. Last May, NATO agreed to underwrite an Afghan force of about 230,000, at a cost of about $4.1 billion a year after 2014. It costs about $6.5 billion this year to fund the current Afghan force of 352,000, and the U.S. is providing about $5.7 billion of that.
Panetta said Friday that he can defend that spending to Congress because it would give the U.S. more flexibility and savings as it withdraws troops from Afghanistan.
Maintaining the larger troop strength could bolster the confidence of the Afghan forces and make it clear that NATO is committed to an enduring relationship with Afghanistan, a senior NATO official said.
In private meetings with other defense ministers, Panetta warned allies that Washington's fiscal impasse will have repercussions abroad, as impending budget cuts force the military to scale back its training and presence overseas.
Many of his meetings, however, centered on the plans to wind down the war in Afghanistan, including the withdrawal of 34,000 U.S. troops over the next year and the transfer of security responsibilities to the Afghan forces.
According to an Obama administration official, the Pentagon plans to reduce the number of U.S. forces in Afghanistan to about 60,500 by the end of May; then to 52,500 by November, keeping a relatively stable number of troops there during the peak fighting season. The sharpest cuts in U.S. troop strength will come over the winter months as the remaining 20,500 leave after the main fighting season. There currently are about 66,000 U.S. troops in Afghanistan.
Panetta acknowledged those ranges of numbers on Friday, but also added that the U.S. would maintain the 34,000 through the Afghan elections, then withdraw the final combat troops toward the end of 2014.
The administration officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the numbers publicly.
This is Panetta's fifth visit to Brussels for a NATO meeting - a trip he never intended to take. Expectations were that defense secretary nominee Chuck Hagel, a former Republican senator from Nebraska, would be confirmed by the Senate last week and he would travel to the meeting.
Hagel's nomination stalled, however, as it got caught up in senators' complaints about the attack in Benghazi, which left four Americans dead, including the ambassador. There are indications now that Hagel has support from enough senators to be confirmed next week.
Associated Press writers Don Melvin and Julie Pace contributed to this report.

Operation Humiliation
Back during the 2008 Democratic primaries, Rush Limbaugh launched Operation Chaos. Four years later, President Barack Obama has embarked on Operation Humiliation.
It is coming off without a hitch.
Story Continued Below
Stage One was to dispatch his treasury secretary to Capitol Hill to make a laughable offer to Republicans on the fiscal cliff — literally. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell reported that he burst out laughing upon hearing Tim Geithner spell out the White House's terms.
Stage Two is watching Republicans squirm, squabble and panic. Less than a week after the hilarity courtesy of Geithner, The New York Times headlined a front-page piece, "GOP Looks for Fallback to Avoid a Fiscal Standoff."
( See also on POLITICO: Full coverage of the fiscal cliff)
The grand budget deal that all the talking heads say we need to prove that Washington is still functional, to vindicate the memory of Ronald Reagan and Tip O'Neill, to ensure that the making of Stephen Spielberg's "Lincoln" was not in vain, etc., etc., is almost certainly not going to come off.
For a deal to happen, one of two things must be true: The White House must either want a deal, or feel that it needs a deal. You don't have to be a hostage negotiator or a game theorist to understand that neither is the case.
Does the White House need a deal? It considers its position so strong that it probably thinks it did McConnell and House Speaker John Boehner a favor by having Geithner show up to insult them in person. He could have done it by text message.
Obama just won an election in which pretty much his only concrete agenda item was a tax increase on the rich, although the casual listener might have thought he was only talking about taxing millionaires and billionaires. Tax increases on the rich poll well, while the Republican counterdemands — entitlement cuts — don't.
If nothing happens, tax increases go up for everyone and all the polls show that the public is primed to blame the Republicans. That means that the president and the media will be plowing fertile ground when they paint Boehner and company as hideous extremists who hate the middle class if all rates go up at the end of the year.
Republicans tend to speak with the resignation of the damned when they talk through their predicament on the fiscal cliff.

How to Meditate - Part 2: Why Meditate?
Posted by Jay Suthers on Aug 5th, 2014
Meditation has many benefits for mind, body and spirit. While much of the evidence is anecdotal, more and more scientific and medical research is proving that meditation does good things for us individually and as a society.
As I stated in my first blog on How to Meditate, meditation helps to reduce stress, improve health (reducing stress improves health), and over all has a positive effect on one's well being. People who regularly meditate report a greater sense of calmness in their everyday lives. They are less reactive to daily stresses and tend to feel less overwhelmed when problems arise. You can read more about these effects of meditation in this article on the Mayo Clinic Website.
While meditation does not have its origin in stress reduction, relaxation, or any medical field, it is becoming a popular technique for promoting a healthy lifestyle in many hospital and clinic settings. At Sage Meditation we have helped chaplains at several prisons, therapists at alcohol and other drug addiction treatment centers, and researchers at the University of Wisconsin studying the use of meditation in smoking cessation programs to acquire meditation cushions for their clients. The results of this research are encouraging, though regular meditation practice is essential.
But, meditation was first used as part of spiritual practice among monks. Calming the mind, it is believed, allows us to hear God, the Universe, or our Inner Being. However we label this experience, meditation takes us to a state of consciousness that allows us to experience something "different" from our day-to-day thoughts.
Some may describe this in charismatic or mystical ways:
- Bliss
- Levitating
- Out of body experience
- Euphoria
- Expansion of the mind beyond the physical realm
These are just descriptions of what people sense when they reach a deeper level of meditation. Not everyone has these sensations, though everyone benefits from regular meditation. If you are practicing meditation, you must remember that it is beneficial in subtle ways even if you don't think it's "working". Just keep practicing and, one day, you will realize that changes have occurred.
My final thoughts on why we should meditate come from this article on The Chopra Centered Lifestyle website. This article presents a rather exhaustive list of the benefits of meditation including:
- Healing Benefits - lowered blood pressure and cholesterol
- Reduced Stress and Burnout
- Enhanced Concentration and Memory
- More Harmonious and Loving Relationships
- Improved Creativity and Problem-Solving
- Decreased Depression, Anxiety, and Insomnia
I strongly feel that the benefits of a regular meditation practice could serve to change the world. And, for this reason, I believe everyone should meditate. Meditation takes more effort than popping a pill, but its effects are longer lasting and meditation will not simply mask over the problems in our lives. I believe it is a real solution to world problems.
In the next article on How to Meditate, I will get into some techniques for practicing meditation.
The entire How to Meditate series is now available in a downloadable PDF - Click Here

Tuesday's announcement that mega-developer Donald Trump is the preferred party to make a go of reviving the half-empty Old Post Office building in Washington may have stepped on the message of some in Congress who've long been pushing to accelerate the sale of unneeded federal properties.
Rep. Jeff Denham, R-Calif., on Tuesday afternoon was celebrating House passage of his bill to create a BRAC-like civilian properties board. He put out a press release about a follow-up hearing set for Thursday to be held in that same Old Post Office annex with the title "One Year Later: Still Sitting on Our Assets."
Just an hour later, the General Services Administration put out its release on Trump. Denham's staff followed with another statement reading, " Selling and redeveloping this property to promote economic growth and job creation is something I encouraged GSA to do a full year ago. Once my bill, CPRA, is implemented, we will see this replicated across the nation in an expedited fashion…At our follow-up hearing on Thursday I expect to hear how much longer it will actually be before the taxpayers can stop pouring money into this property as well as other properties sitting vacant."
The GSA's timing on the day of the House vote "was pure coincidence," according to Adam Elkington, the agency's deputy press secretary. Talks leading up to the deal were confined to a small group because of "procurement sensitivities."
Since GSA put out a request for proposals on redeveloping the Old Post Office last March, Elkington added, the response from the private sector was tremendous, requiring more time to perform due diligence given the downtown building's historic significance. Trump himself was told he had won the contract only Tuesday morning, after which followed briefings for GSA senior staff and lawmakers.
