LxPup with working Help
. It is a Proof of Concept. It includes the latest Google Chrome browser (because it is fast and includes the latest flashplayer, and the Help works with it). It also includes the
Mate desktop
(because I wanted to use it and have it run from ram so it needed to be in the sfs, plus Help seems to require something in it to work correctly). It is large but I think it could be shrunk somewhat--I know that Mate can be shrunk because it includes some dev stuff. Even at 320MB it will copy to ram in any computer with at least 1GB.
Don't want to derail the thread but did a quick frugal install and switched directly to Mate.No problems.
Not bad on resource usage either.

James C, Should I put this in a new thread of its own, do you think? I thought that since it was just a remaster it would go here. Thanks.

Personally I hate Google Chrome. I never ever want to use a web browser that crashes it's self repeatably (and that is what Chrome is).

Seamonkey is still in the remaster I made, but I can't get the Help to work with it. The same thing could be done with Firefox or Opera. The remaster is just a Proof of Concept to show the Help working, mainly (though it is now my main Puppy). I have seen the Chrome Aw Snap crash screen, but more in Windows I think--I have had pretty good luck with the Linux versions. Some extensions might make Chrome unstable.
One could add Firefox or Opera to the remaster. To get the Help working one would need to go to Desktop -> Desktop Settings -> Preferred Applications and then choose the new browser. Also one would need to modify the desktop file in /usr/share/applications to replace the line, for instance,
exec firefox
exec firefox %u
One could also start with regular LxPup, but I haven't been able to get the Help working without adding the Mate 1.4.1.

Might as well just stay in this thread since it is still Lxpup.
I've got installs of regular Lxpup, the apt-get version (works pretty well too) and the Playdayz version..... but they all have the same base so........

Latest Version
Google Chrome 24 for LxPup
(defanged as far as possible, includes flashplayer, already in the LxPup with Working Help)
Xine DVD Player for LxPup
(Because it plays DVD menus better than the default gnome-mplayer)

Playdayz, super to see you around, and hope all has improved. New thread....? I know Jejy uses this particular thread on a link from his site for support purposes for his spins. Might confuse some? Anyway great to see you back; I'm with you on the potential for LXDE based Puppies, and will follow your effort closely. All the best.

Helloooooow !
I missed quite a few days, excuse me if I ignored messages, or have forgotten (it is possible).

I believe in teamwork, and this thing known as GNU.
If lxpup inspires a fork, a base, derived, I think it's great!
After all Lxpup is simply a precise with lxde overlay.
Playdayz, if you want create your own thread, there is NO problem.
Instead, it will show what you done in value. Moreover, personal satisfaction, I must admit, the brilliant creator of Lucid, aka Playdaz is interested in what "I" have done.
I take this opportunity to thank you for these packages, I'll update the site, I'm a fan of Chrome.
nancy reagan,
About Lxpup with apt-get I'm sorry, but I have not progressed, I still get error messages, and I must admit that it scares me to leave this unstable tool with Puppy, I do not want to lose data to people.
I'm too limited to continue. Your French, no problem, it's still good
! I guess my English is not to be famous, sorry for those who must decrypt me. I apologize for the mistakes.
Hi Eyes-Only,
Pleased to meet you, I hope that everything happens for the best :/.
It has been the dream of MANY A DEV.
I did not know it was also appreciated. I may be wrong, but I do not really consider as a dev, just a simple "bidouilleur".
I've downloaded what you've offered here and as soon as I'm able I plan on playing around with it, d'accord? For the time being however, I'm still working on getting my computer back up to a 100% pre-September working order. Because of its sheer versatility and ease of use ( not to mention all those "made-to-order" desktop environments! ) I've decided to centre my computer around LXpup as its "Default System".
It is an honor for me!
You've made here a-top BarryK's Puppy the most superb Linux OS I've ever managed to use in the past 8 or more years since my coming over from Windows 98se. Congratulations! You're going to go VERY FAR in this world if you continue onward with this calibre of workmanship in your life. Trust me.
I'm flattered, but I would not have done it without the wonderful people of this forum. It learned so many things, from people living elsewhere in the world, with their culture, mindset, opinions ... I'm very lucky.
Thank you, I've always trusted in you, and I will try not to disappoint you
Again thanks all ! :')

Post subject: sfs doesn't load
Subject description: problem at boot
Hello, I've seen LXpup and I think it's great!
It's "less minimalistic" than classic Puppy but it's still light.
However I had a problem and I would like to know if there is a solution.
I put the ISO on a CD and I tried on a couple of pc, without any problem, but after that I tried on this hardware:
- Thin Client HP t5730 (cpu Sempron 2100+ / 1GB ram / flash disk 8M)
- external CD drive, having its own supply and connected with usb
After the initial boot and driver loading, i appears a message: unable to find the sfs.
The cd is ok because I tried on other pc, as I said at the beginning.
Then I tried with an older Puppy version (4.3.1) and with the latest Puppy release.
With the older one there are no problem but with the latest it's the same; again, the same problem happens with the retro-LxPup.
Then, I think that maybe it could be something about kernel and/or driver.
Is it right? could I do anything to solve this problem?
Many thanks in advance for any suggestion.

The Lxpup with Working Help was not a fork or anything--it was just a remaster of Jejy69's work to get the Help working. What we learned was that there is something in the mate-1.4.1.sfs that the Help needs in order to work correctly, but I don't know what it is. Otherwise it is reasonably straightforward.
Lucid was good because it had many testers, but the more testers you have the more work you have to do

Hi @Inoxidabile
The problem as you describe seems to be one that I have run into several times over the past many years. So, this may help. I going to assume you already have tried to boot by hitting F2 and using the pfix=ram option.
Firstly, did you run an "md5sum" against your download to see if it matched.
Next, assuming you accomplished the prior step, you could try having the CD crator check the integrity of its burn.
Lastly, try another download, then repeat the 2 top steps.
There are various causes and reasons for the problem you describe. The most notable I have found is when the ISP resets the your IP while a download is occurring. This I have seen in the past to have a negative impact in one's ISO download.
Hope this helps

Hi gcmartin,
Thanks for Your reply.
I'm quite sure that the iso and the related burned cd are ok because I tried them on other two pc: they have both their own cd drive and un that cases there are absolutely no problem..
Nevertheless, I rI did as You said, having the same result.
In my opinion the problem is due to "something" related to boot from external cd drive connected through usb.
In this thread there are something I think it could be interestin:
However, I did a maual frugal install, starting with a 4.3.1 and then Lxpup is running.
Now I'm facing an other problem due to setup of external monitor, but this is an other question ... (m y habit is to check by myself prio to ask for an help

Post subject: No. SFS
THE boot up problem described is probably a timing problem in the USB stack. I have seen similar with some USB sticks on my ASUS netbook. I have not been able to solve it.

Hi inoxidabile,
- Thin Client HP t5730 (cpu Sempron 2100+ / 1GB ram / flash disk 8M)
- external CD drive, having its own supply and connected with usb
After the initial boot and driver loading, i appears a message: unable to find the sfs.
Interesting problem. It is good that it attempts to boot. Logically, following the loading of the drivers it is looking in the wrong place or for the wrong type of device. It may be worth pressing the relevant key to access the command line as it boots and then inputting the following boot code.

Hi evrybody,
About the post from Volhout: I also did this assumpton at the beginning, but it's a fact that oldest release boot without problem. Then, if Your idea is true, maybe it's due to "some change" happened in the Puppy evolution.
About the post from ETP: I agree, in my opinion it could be interesting, because I tried to change the parameter of boot for pmedia but without success...
Then I could suppose that this parameter doesn't pass to the cfg files (e.g. vmlinuz).

BALTIMORE – The UMBC women's soccer team looks to knock off New Hampshire on Sunday, Oct. 27 as it hosts the Wildcats on Senior Day at Retriever Soccer Park in the final day of the regular season. The Retrievers enter the contest second in the America East standings and still have a chance for the regular season crown with a victory and a Maine loss. Game time is set for 1 p.m., with the Retrievers' two seniors being honored prior to first kick.
The Retrievers have posted one of the top turnarounds in the country over the past year, going from a .206 winning percentage in 2012 to a .647 winning percentage in 2013, a difference of .441 percent. The turnaround ranks third in the nation behind only UAB (.551) and Cornell (.479).
UMBC (10-5-2, 5-2-0 AE) is destined for its highest AEC finish ever after clinching a top-three seed with Thursday night's 2-1 come-from-behind victory against Hartford. The Retrievers hit double-digit wins for the first time since 2001 and reached five victories in conference for the first time since joining the league in 2003.
Red-shirt junior midfielder Jessy Brown (Plantation, Fla./American Heritage) ignited the Retrievers' comeback, scoring the equalizer on a header with 3:25 left in the contest versus the Hawks. Brown ranks second on the team and fourth in the conference in goals (six). Rookie forward Amanda Dailey (Howell, N.J./Freehold Township/Monmouth) sent home the first game-winner of her career with one minute remaining to give UMBC the victory over then-first place Hartford.
Sophomore forward Alexa Quaranta has a team-leading seven goals on the year, ranking third in the league, and is three shots away from entering into UMBC's top-10 in single season shots.
With nine points on the year, New Hampshire (4-7-6, 2-2-3 AE) needs a win or a loss by Vermont to clinch a spot in the America East Championship.
UNH took a 1-0 lead over Stony Brook on Thursday night with Kirsten O'Neil's team-leading fourth goal of the year, but the Seawolves scored three unanswered to take the 3-1 victory and hand the Wildcats their second straight loss.
O'Neil has 12 points on the season, adding a squad-best four assists to her four goals. Meghan Ledwith is the only other Wildcat with multiple goals, tallying six points on two goals and two assists. Goalkeepers Mimi Borkan and Erica Correa have each seen action in net this season. Borkan has stopped 69 shots in 14 appearances and is allowing 0.79 goals per contest, ranking third in the league.
All-Time Series
-UMBC trails the all-time series versus New Hampshire, 1-8-1.
-The Retrievers picked up a 1-1 double overtime draw against the Wildcats in 2011, but feel to UNH, 2-1 a year ago.

According to an article this week in Engadget, Apple reportedly plans to eliminate the USB 3.0 and Magsafe ports on its next-gen MacBook, and kill the 11-inch MacBook Air altogether. That's according to Macotakara, the Japanese rumor site that was among the first to predict that the company would kill the traditional headphone jack on the iPhone 7. It also claims that Apple will unveil a 15.4- and 13.3-inch MacBook Pro at a new product launch event next week.
If the report is accurate, MacBook Pros will only have USB Type C and Thunderbolt 3 ports. As with the new MacBook, you'd presumably charge it through the USB-C port and connect peripherals via Thunderbolt 3. That means you'd need some kind of USB 3.0 adapter, since the majority of storage and other peripherals still use the traditional standard. For the MacBook, Apple sells a $79 USB-C dock that gives you USB 3.0, USB-C for power and an HDMI connection.
Are These Ports Gone In The New MacBook Pros?
The company will also release a new 13.3-inch MacBook Air, but discontinue the 11-inch model, according to the report. That squares with previous rumors that Apple would kill the smaller Air model, since it has been made effectively redundant by the 12-inch MacBook. However, it also shows that it isn't discontinuing the MacBook Air completely, as some feared (including me).

Positively isolate a high yield and purity of CD8+ T cells from whole blood, buffy coat, MNC or bone marrow and then remove the beads using the supplied DETACHaBEAD®. Isolated cells are bead and antibody-free, phenotypically unaltered and suitable for any downstream application, including flow cytometry, functional studies and cell culture.
Principle of Isolation
- Positive isolation – Dynabeads are mixed with the sample in a tube. The Dynabeads will bind to the target cells during a short incubation, and then the bead-bound cells are separated by a magnet.
- Detachment – wash the positively isolated cells and then add DETACHaBEAD to gently release the cells from the beads.
Description of Materials
Dynabeads CD8 are uniform, superparamagnetic polystyrene beads (4.5 μm diameter) coated with a mouse monoclonal antibody directed against the CD8 antigen on human cells. DETACHaBEAD CD8 is a polyclonal anti- Fab antibody specific for the CD8 antibody on the Dynabeads.

Dynabeads Washing Procedure
Dynabeads should be washed before use.
- Resuspend the Dynabeads in the vial.
- Transfer the desired volume of Dynabeads to a tube.
- Add the same volume of Buffer 1, or at least 1 ml, and mix.
- Place the tube in a magnet for 1 min and discard the supernatant.
- Remove the tube from the magnet and resuspend the washed Dynabeads in the same volume of Buffer 1 as the initial volume of Dynabeads.
Sample Preparation
Cells can be directly isolated from any sample such as whole blood, bone marrow, MNC or tissue digests.
Whole Blood and Buffy Coat
Most positive isolations can use whole blood and buffy coat as a starting sample. Buffy coat is 8-10 times more concentrated than whole blood with regard to number of leucocytes. For this product you have to wash the blood/buffy coat to remove interfering soluble factors.
- Dilute the whole blood or buffy coat in Buffer 1 (1 part blood/buffy coat to 2 parts Buffer 1).
- Centrifuge at 600 x g for 10 min at 2-8°C. Allow to decelerate slowly.
- Discard the plasma fraction/upper layer. Resuspend blood to the original volume in Buffer 1 and buffy coat 1+1 in Buffer 1 before adding the beads.
- Add the correct volume of beads as shown in Table 1. Please visit www.invitrogen.com for a list of recommended sample preparation procedures.
Critical Steps for Cell Isolation
Use a mixer that provides tilting and rotation of the tubes to ensure Dynabeads do not settle at the bottom of the tube. When incubating Dynabeads and cells, the incubation temperature must be 2-8°C to reduce phagocytic activity and other metabolic processes.
Table 1: Volume of Dynabeads added per cell sample. The volumes can be scaled up as required.
|Vol. of Dynabeads
|25 μl (1 x 107 Dynabeads)
12 μl (5 x 106 Dynabeads)
25 μl (1 x 107 Dynabeads)
|Total no. of cells processed per product
|2 x 109 cells
Positive Isolation of CD8+ T Cells
- Add the appropriate volume of Dynabeads to the prepared sample according to table 1.
- Incubate for 20 min at 2 - 8°C with gentle tilting and rotation.
- Place the tube in a magnet for 2 min.
- Discard the supernatant and wash the bead-bound cells 3 times by resuspending in Buffer 1 to the original sample volume, and separate using a magnet for 1 min. Never use less than 1 ml Buffer 1 in each washing step.
- Resuspend the bead-bound cells in 100 μl Buffer 2 per 107 MNC in the original sample, or 100 μl Buffer 2 per ml blood in the original sample. Never resuspend in less than 100 μl even if the starting sample is less than 107
MNC or 1 ml blood.
- Add 10 μl DETACHaBEAD per 25 μl (1 x 107) Dynabeads used to isolate the bead-bound cells. Never use less than 10 μl DETACHaBEAD even if less than 107 Dynabeads are used. The amount of DETACHaBEAD can be directly scaled up.
- Incubate for 45 min at room temperature with gentle mixing.
- Place the tube in a magnet for 1 min.
- Transfer the supernatant containing released cells to a fresh tube. To obtain residual cells, wash the beads 2-3 times in 500 μl Buffer 2 and collect the supernatant.
- Wash detached cells thoroughly by resuspending the cells in a total volume of 10 ml Buffer 2 and centrifuge for 6 min at 400 x g to remove DETACHaBEAD.
- Resuspend the cells in Buffer 2 or other media and use in downstream application. The isolated cells are pure, viable and are free from antibody bound to the surface.
This product is stable until the expiry date stated on the label when stored unopened at 2-8°C. Store opened vials at 2-8°C and avoid bacterial contamination. Keep Dynabeads in liquid suspension during storage and all handling steps, as drying will result in reduced performance. Resuspend well before use.

You've no doubt seen one of those film-noir thrillers where the bad guy and the femme fatale take out a life insurance policy on some unsuspecting victim, hoping to profit from the poor sap's untimely demise. According to a fraud complaint filed this week by the Securities and Exchange Commission, two brokers defrauded customers by giving that scheme a 21st-century twist, using variable annuities to invest in insurance contracts that wagered on the lives of the terminally ill.
Variable annuities, a retirement savings vehicle popular with some high-net-worth investors, generally combine some of the features of a mutual-fund portfolio with the death-benefit provisions of a life insurance policy. But as Darla Mercado of Investment News explains, the owner of a variable annuity policy doesn't have to be the same person as the "annuitant"—the person whose death would trigger the payout of the insurance benefit. What's more, the investor doesn't have to prove an "insurable interest" in that person, which means, essentially, that they don't even have to know each other.
The good news in this case is that nobody actually tried to hasten the deaths of the insured, a la "Double Indemnity." And it's not illegal to invest in the insurance policies of strangers – the life-settlement industry has been making that strategy possible for decades. But in life settlements, the insured people at least have a chance to make a profit when investors buy the rights to their policies. In this case, according to the SEC, the two brokers charged in the complaint, Michael A. Horowitz of Los Angeles and Moshe Marc Cohen of Brooklyn, N.Y., colluded with three people who worked in the hospice and nursing-home industries to fraudulently obtain the personal-identification data of at least 16 terminally ill people in California and Chicago, so that those people could be listed as annuitants.
The SEC says Horowitz and Cohen then falsified other paperwork to make their policies look legit, subsequently convincing at least 50 individual investors that their "stranger-owned annuities" would be a loss-proof investment. The two attracted some $80 million worth of capital and reaped about $1 million in commissions in 2007 and 2008. (The terminally ill people evidently got nothing.)
Horowitz, Cohen and their attorneys couldn't immediately be reached for comment, according to reporters covering the case. But the SEC says that a couple of brokers and traders who helped sell the annuities have agreed to a total of $4.5 million in penalties and disgorgements of earnings.

Bend testing measures the ductility of materials. Terms associated with bend testing apply to specific forms or types of materials. For example, materials specifications sometimes require that a specimen be bent to a specified inside diameter (ASTM A-360, steel products).
Bend testing provides a convenient method for characterizing the strength of the miniature components and specimens that are typical of those found in microelectronics applications. Instron® has bend and flexure fixtures available for both three and four point loading.

How to Choose a Lawyer to Work with Your Business
Believe it or not, most lawyers are nice people, and a lawyer can help you start and maintain your small business. Any business — even a home-based business — needs an attorney on its support team.
Your goal is to find someone who's not only talented and affordable, but who also can grow with you and your company and become a long-term partner and trusted associate. Consider the following characteristics when you're interviewing attorneys:
Qualifications: Hire a lawyer who's as qualified and experienced as possible.
Accessibility: Make sure that your lawyer can meet your needs quickly, when you need them the most.
Price: Don't be afraid to shop around for the best combination of skill, experience, and price.
Ethics: Your lawyer should have ethical standards that are just as high as the standards you uphold.
Compatibility: The ideal situation is to find someone who meets all your criteria and with whom you also get along well.
What can attorneys do for your business? Here are some of the most common tasks attorneys take on for their small business clients:
Choosing a form (legal structure) for your business
Writing, reviewing, and negotiating business contracts
Dealing with employee issues
Helping with credit problems and bankruptcy
Addressing consumer issues and complaints
Working with rental or leasing agreements
Outlining workers' compensation and Social Security benefits
Advising you on your legal rights and obligations
Representing you in court
Be sure to seek out an attorney who specializes in working with small businesses and startups. Any other attorney may not have the exact skill set that you need.
Make a point of asking your attorney how much a particular task is going to cost — before you engage his or her services. You don't want to get a bill that's in the thousands of dollars when you expected to pay far less.

Dwyane Tyrone Wade, Jr. (born January 17, 1982) nicknamed Flash or D-Wade, is an American professional basketball player for the Miami Heat. Awarded 2006 Sportsman of the Year by Sports Illustrated, Wade has established himself as one of the most well-known and popular players in the league. He had the top selling jersey in the NBA for nearly two years, as he led the NBA in jersey sales from the 2005 NBA playoffs, until the mid-point of the 2006–07 season.
After entering the league as the fifth pick in the 2003 NBA Draft, Wade was named to the All-Rookie team and the All-Star team the following seven seasons. In his third season, Wade helped lead the Miami Heat to their first NBA Championship in franchise history. He was named the 2006 NBA Finals MVP as he helped lead the Heat to a 4–2 series win over the Dallas Mavericks. At the 2008 Summer Olympics, Wade led the United States Men's Basketball team, commonly known as the "Redeem Team", in scoring, as they captured gold medal honors in Beijing, China. In the 2008–09 season, Wade led the league in scoring and earned his first NBA scoring title.
Dwyane Wade was born on the South Side of Chicago, Illinois to Dwyane Sr. and Jolinda Wade. He cites one of his older sisters, Tragil, as the individual most responsible for his childhood upbringing and for steering him in the proper direction. His parents divorced and he lived with his father and stepmother in Robbins, Illinois during his childhood. As a child growing up in the Chicago area Wade idolized former Chicago Bulls star Michael Jordan, and has said he patterns his game after him.

Don't forget to get a new 2017 sporting license if you plan on fishing!
River Report
River Flow 918 CFS - Visibility Clear - AM Water Temp 33'F. - Mostly sunny, with a high near 48. Southwest wind 7 to 11 mph.
Now for the fishing conditions. The river is at 918 CFS. The flow is perfect for chucking streamers and nymphing! This time of the year you do well to wait until the sun gets on the water for a bit to help warm it up some. We suggest starting later in the morning with some big streamers and search the water. Strip these slowly as the fish are sluggish and not willing to move too far. All colors of streamers are effective at times, so swap out and modify your retrieve if you don't get any takes. Egg patterns dropped behind a big stonefly (8-12) are also very effective this time of the year. Trail the egg about 18" behind the stonefly so it gently rolls through the water. Don't forget to get some "ice off paste" for your guides this time of the year as it won't take long to get some build up on your guides this time of the year.
In addition to the stoneflies mentioned above, we like the following patterns: Hares Ear (12-16), BH Princes (10-16), BH Pheasant Tails (12-18), Rubber Legs (all colors), 20 Incher's (8-16) & Euro Bead Head Princes. Don't forget to try a San Juan or Yellow Stone Mop Fly, too. We recommend a drop rig for maximum effectiveness and use an indicator to make sure you don't miss any takes. Try the AirLock indicators if you haven't already. They are the best!
We've got some upcoming fly tying events, so check our events page.
Since you're reading our river report, please consider purchasing your gear from us. We are happy to have the opportunity to match any deals out there you may come upon. Give us a call first and let us have the first chance. Thanks!

Jennifer Aniston, Barbra Streisand Pictures at Elle Women in Hollywood
Reese Raves About Jen at the Women in Hollywood Event, With Barbra, Naomi, and More
Reese Raves About Jen at the Women in Hollywood Event, With Barbra, Naomi, and More
The Elle Women in Hollywood Tribute, held inside LA's Four Seasons Hotel last night, brought out many A-list stars to toast honorees Jennifer Aniston, Barbra Streisand, Michelle Pfeiffer, Viola Davis, Evan Rachel Wood, Freida Pinto, Naomi Watts, Elizabeth Olsen, and DreamWorks studio head Stacey Snider. Jennifer Aniston brought boyfriend Justin Theroux along for the bash, and she looked amazing in a Kaufmanfranco dress. Elizabeth and Freida, meanwhile, picked Calvin Klein dresses for the occasion.
Many of the ladies paid tribute to legend award-winner Barbra, though Reese reserved her comments for Jennifer. Reese raved about Jennifer, saying, "You just want to get your nails done with her, and you want to make out with her at the same time. At least I do — and that's what we do sometimes on Saturdays." Reese also had time to say hi to her This Means War costar and pal, Chelsea Handler, as well as Robin Wright. Katherine Heigl made it an adorable date night with her husband, Josh Kelley, and Rachel Zoe stepped out in a long, flowy gown. We caught up with some of the ladies on the gray carpet before the event began. Naomi spoke about how amazing it was to shoot with Leonardo DiCaprio on their upcoming movie, J. Edgar, and joked that unlike some actors she's worked with, she likes him just as much as his work. Katherine Heigl admitted that she was inspired to act by Jennifer, and Michelle said she was so honored to be there — stay tuned for more later today on PopSugar Rush!

wow fantastic green house. fantastic team who fitter it. 10/10 all round well pleases from maria b,x
Fantastic build quality, the shed extension is brilliant, and the attention to detail is first class. The thermowood look and feel makes it look more expensive than it is and certainly competes with some RHS 'certified' versions where you will pay 4 x the price! The large building was erected in less than 4 hours and the guys arrived promptly.

Love it!! Delivery arrived smack on time and had built in 1.5 hours.My only regret was not ordering a side vent but may go for it at a later date.Already full of cuttings and seeds
Thrilled with my greenhouse. Arrived exactly when stated and erected with the minimum of fuss. Excellent service and very high quality product. Now all I have to do is enjoy using it........

Very impressed with the greenhouse and service provided by Swallow. They arrived right on time and it was built within a couple of hours and looks great. Absolutely the right choice!
4 weeks in and I absolutely love this greenhouse. It feels really solid and spacious. We used new sleepers as a base and this has given us additional height.The greenhouse arrived ahead of schedule and on the day the 2 guys arrived, with the greenhouse pre-glazed, promptly at 8am as promised and they were brilliant. By afternoon I had started moving my plants in. Thank you

Frequently Asked Questions from Potential Scout Families
Frequently Asked Questions for youth and parents who are considering joining Troop 8 or who are just interested in Scouting in general.
No! St. Thomas welcomes families of all denominations into all of its youth programs, provided they respect and support the parish's mission. At present, about half of our scouts and half of our scoutmasters come from other religious traditions.
St. Thomas runs a very active program in order to meet the needs of boys age 11 to 18. That means there's an almost daunting array of activities. Each boy chooses activities and outings according to his interests and needs at the time. There's plenty to keep a 6th or 7th grader busy, and there will be plenty more available when he needs new challenges as a 9th or 10th grader.
The middle school program runs one campout a month and one meeting a week, while the high school program runs two longer expeditions each year with pre-trips leading up to each. As a rule of thumb, most boys participate in about 2/3 to 3/4 of the activities available to them. Going below 50% will put them behind their peers in skills and usually lead to them dropping out after a year or so. The more they participate, of course, the more they get out of the program!
We recommend that boys try to do at least one of the longer-term outings each year (like summer camp), because these tend to be real "bonding" experiences for their friends and patrol mates.
Cub Scout programs are generally parent-run endeavors. That can be great fun for a bit, but it does take a lot of time! The boy scouting program functions like a teen youth program in that there are a number of non-parent adult leaders who have primary responsibility for operations. This allows us to offer a very special educational opportunity to your son while you get a bit of relief. You can come on some events you enjoy with your son, and also have the chance to spend some "quality time" with his siblings while he's away on a weekend campout!
We are of course not a baby-sitting service. We ask your help with 2 short-term fundraisers each year, occasional driving on a trip (usually twice a year), and filling one volunteer job for the troop that fits into your interest and schedule. A few parents camp with us, others handle a segment of paperwork, others help organize one of the fundraisers, etc. We want you to be involved in something you enjoy and can contribute to. That's a good example to your son, and "many hands make for light labor" for the troop.
There are some initial costs for basic gear (sleeping bag, uniform, a bit of clothing, mess kit, etc.), depending on what your son/family already own. Most boys slowly acquire personal camping gear over the years, usually as the result of Christmas and birthday gifts. The troop provides all "group gear" including tents, stoves, etc., and has some gear available to loan to boys who need it in their first year or two.
Dues are set for a six-month period, which covers almost all camping fees (except personal things like ski rental if needed) as well as awards and once a month "fun nights" doing things like Laser Tag and Whirly Ball. A few trips, like Boy Scout summer camp or downhill ski lift tickets, are separate expenses, but our costs for group rates and camp are generally significantly less than for family trips or other camp experiences.
Additionally, as a parish youth program, Troop 8 exercises a "preferential option for the poor." We work hard to make scouting activities available regardless of difficult family financial circumstances.

Menu Plan Monday
This week I sat down on Sunday to plan out my menu for the week and put some simple things on there. Aaron's b-day is on Thursday and we are going out to eat with his parents at The Fish Market. Wednesday night is Hannah's skating class and we will grab a bite to eat at Cheeseburger in Paradise afterwards. And Friday is the dreaded tooth extraction day, so there will be soft foods for me after that for a while. Hopefully just a couple of days, but we shall see. I didn't really have a theme or key ingredient this week, I was just going off of what I had in my freezer and what would work for us after my tooth surgery.
Sunday ~
Joan's GF Great Bakes Pizza, salad & steamed broccoli. We ended up going to Cheeseburger in Paradise due to the power outage
Monday ~ Salmon, brown jasmine rice and steamed green beans (This will be brought to my Dad's house and cooked due to the power still being out).
Tuesday ~
Filet (if it survives the power outage..YIKES!), baked potatoes, steamed veggies and salad. Now Spaghetti & Meat Sauce, Steamed Green Beans, Salad & Foccacia Bread. Filet is at a friend's house in her freezer. 🙂
Wednesday ~ Cheeseburger in Paradise
Thursday ~ Fish Market for Aaron's birthday
Friday ~ Homemade Macaroni & Cheese (if the power is still out, just shoot me), baked beans and soft veggies of some sort. Maybe some canned peas…gross normally, but the kids like them and they will be easy for Mommy to chew.
Saturday ~ Mexican Pizzas or Tacos for the kids, I will probably have refried beans a little meat, cheese and Mexican Rice.
The power is now back on and that makes me all warm & fuzzy inside. I hope to bake a Lemon Bundt Cake and some Meringue Cookies this week, in addition to some Cinnamon Rolls. YUM!! We shall see what I get done.
Oh, don't forget to check out some other weekly menu plans over at Org Junkie

Thank you for this, I had read to wash and not to wash so this helps.
I am about to make a quilt with a minkee back, and haven't decided if I should even put batting in. Though the point of the minkee is to make my 9-year-old happy, and it's all about soft and warm with him.
Will have to see if I can adjust this for a front loader! No agitation is easy, soaking is hard…
Good to know! I've always wondered how on earth to preshrink batting without making a massive mess! Also, if you have time to let me know! where did you find your chenille fabric in the picture? Thanks! email@example.com

thank you for sharing this great information! xo
2ndAvenueStudio-Rachel March 8, 2012 at 4:40 am #
Im confused why you soak for hours…
I just spin and fry in the dryer…
I dont do it often either but with bamboo and when I use vintage linens..
Judy Blinkenberg March 8, 2012 at 5:34 am #
Thank you so much for this. I have never washed my batting and appreciate the info. It's nice to have the fabric just crinkle a little but the batting stay nice. I'll try it. That's alot of batting. Wish I'd get busy and quilt more.
Barb - The Empty Nest Mom March 8, 2012 at 3:21 pm #
I've never heard of washing batting and learned something new here. Appreciate the specifics on when you DO wash.
Thank you for the tips!
I really like these tips on when/how to pre-wash batting. I've never done it, but I am debating using chenille for the backing of the quilt I'm currently working on, so if I do, I will try this! Do you have any other tips on backing a quilt with chenille? It will be a first for me!

Practically my backyard!
All week I planned my visit to Shoup-Thompson Cemetery in northwestern Delaware County. I would pick up any unclaimed photo requests from Find A Grave, pack a cheese sandwich and bottled water, grab a brimmed hat, and hit the road. The gravestone kit is always in the car: brushes, garden clippers, cheap aluminum foil, soft towels, water, and bug spray.
If life were a movie, this would be the foreshadowing part. When I arrived at Shoup-Thompson, I parked in the shade near the old part of the cemetery. Leaning against a nearby tree was an illegible, broken grave marker. Go ahead, tease me. His marker may be so weathered that I cannot read it—if it is even here.
Starting to walk the rows of old stones, I was feeling hopeful. Field ... Smith ... Perry ... Henderson. But the longer I walked, the less hopeful I became. Arnold Aldrich (b. 1796, d. 1854), where are you?
Finally, I noticed a broken stone under an old maple tree at the back of the cemetery, just steps from the Scioto River. The stone originally showed two names, but only one remained: Rebecca Aldrich. Had the other name been Arnold?
Yes, I was sure of it.
The death day and year was right, the age at death was right, and Arnold had had a daughter named Rebecca.
[Dec. ]29, 1854
58Ys, 8. Mo, 10 Ds.
AGED 19 Years
Was Arnold Aldrich my 3g grandfather? Maybe yes, maybe no.
Sitting under the maple tree, listening to the birds and other country sounds, I realized that "Maybe yes" is good enough for now.

FACULTY Associate Professors Jones, Robertson (chair), Williams; Assistant Professors Brown, Gates, Scott, A., Toxqui; Temporary Assistant Professors Faber, Kidd.
The history faculty believes that students should view history as a study of human contributions from all parts of the world. For history majors, a curriculum is planned to provide an opportunity for more detailed study of human civilizations in Europe, the Americas, and the non-Western world.
While some history majors prepare themselves to teach in secondary schools, junior colleges, or colleges, many other careers are open to students who have become competent in historical analysis. Professions such as business, law, library science, archaeology, museum and archival work and a variety of local, state and federal government positions are open to students majoring in history. Faculty counselors will talk with students desiring information on career opportunities.
Major Requirements
Students majoring in history must complete a minimum of 30 hours of history credit, 24 of which must be above 100 level and 15 of which must be above the 200 level. Majors, in consultation with their history advisor, must fulfill the following requirements:
- Successful completion of Evolution of Western Civilization, a core course required of all Bradley students (not counted as part of the 30-hour history minimum)
- Africa, Asia, Latin America, Middle East, or Russia (6 hours, 3 of which must be 300 level or above)
- 6 hours of U.S. history, including either 203 or 204 and 3 hours of 300 level
- 6 hours of European history at the 300 level (Western Civilization is a prerequisite for all European history courses)
- HIS 350 Historical Methods Seminar (Prerequisite: 3 hours of history or consent of instructor.)
- 6 hours of electives from History Department.
- HIS 450, 451, or 452 Research Seminar
- Cross-cultural component. In addition to the 30 hours, all History majors must complete one of the four following options:
- An approved international study experience selected from a variety of Bradley programs including international internships, Bradley Summer Semester abroad, and directed programs at selected international institutions. A minimum of 6 hours must be taken abroad. (If a student studies abroad at one of the Bradley-directed Study Abroad programs other than the Bradley European Summer Semester, the requirement of 24 hours of the last 30 hours on campus is modified to 30 of the last 60 hours. Courses taken in a Bradley-directed program during the senior year will count towards fulfilling the requirements of having 24 of the last 30 semester hours on campus).
- Successful completion of the equivalent of 202 in any foreign language.
- At least 6 hours drawn from the following courses: AAS 200, 211, 300; HIS 304, 305, 339, 375, 382; WMS 200, ENG 129, 190, 329, 330, 331, SOC 313, 314, 315. History courses in this category may also count towards the major.
- Secondary Education students can fulfill this requirement through ETE 280 and one of the approved courses in category c.
Students desiring to earn a teaching certificate in Illinois must have a minimum of 8 hours in U. S. History and 8 hours in European or World History. They also need a total of 36 hours of history and must complete the certification requirements listed under the Department of Teacher Education (Secondary Education).
History majors may earn either a B.A. or B.S. degree.
History Major – Business Minor
This program is for the student who wishes to combine a background in both history and business for the goal of immediate employment opportunities or entrance to an MBA program. In addition to the courses in history the minor requires 30 hours in the Foster College of Business Administration in the following courses: ATG 157, 158; ECO 221/100, 222; QM 262, FIN 322, BMA 172, 342, 352; and MTG 315. Students for the minor should also complete MTH 115. The dean of the Foster College of Business Administration must approve students for the minor.
History Minor
This minor is designed for students who wish to pursue a coherent and balanced program of study of history, with equal emphasis upon United States, European, and non-Western history. Students from outside or inside the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences should find this concentration of study in a traditional humanities/social sciences discipline to be especially useful in preparing for law school, graduate work in library science, civil service employment, or museum and archival management. The minor requires 18 hours total, distributed in the following manner:
- One non-Western civilization course to be chosen from HIS 103, HIS 104, HIS 105, HIS 107 - 3 hrs.
- U.S. history, 200 or 300 level - 6 hrs.
- European history, 200 or 300 level - 3 hrs.
- Non-Western history, 200 or 300 level - 3 hrs.
- History elective - 3 hrs.
This Catalog represents the University's best effort to communicate information on academic programs, policies, rules, and regulations that were in effect at the time of its publication. Students should be aware that the University reserves the right to modify these programs, policies, rules, and regulations at any time within a student's term of residence. The University's policy is to provide notice of any such modifications sufficiently in advance of their implementation to ensure adjustments without undue inconvenience. Before pre-registering for any academic term, students should contact the administrative office of their academic department or college to verify the most current information.
This is the official catalog for the 2010-2011 academic year. This catalog serves as a contract between a student and Bradley University. Should changes in a program of study become necessary prior to the next academic year every effort will be made to keep students advised of any such changes via the Dean of the College or Chair of the Department concerned, the Registrar's Office, u.Achieve degree audit system, and the Schedule of Classes. It is the responsibility of each student to be aware of the current program and graduation requirements for particular degree programs.

DETROIT, Feb. 1 (UPI) -- Japanese automaker Toyota's U.S. sales topped domestic producers in sales gains in January over the first month of 2012, an industry research firm said.
Autodata reported Friday that Toyota's U.S. sales in January were a 26.6 percent gain over January 2012 with 93,873 cars and 63,852 light trucks sold in the month.
U.S. automakers General Motors, Ford Motor Co. and Chrysler posted gains of 15.9 percent, 21.7 percent and 16.4 percent over the same period a year earlier.
GM outsold all rivals in January with 194,699 vehicles sold. Ford sold 165,863 vehicles in January. Chrysler sold 117,731, Autodata said.
Toyota's total was 157,725 for the month.

Workers in Maryland would be guaranteed seven paid sick days a year under a bill introduced Thursday in Annapolis, eliminating what advocates say is an "impossible choice" that thousands of mostly low-wage employees are forced to make between preserving their health or their jobs.
"Folks are now in a place where they have to make these impossible choices," said Del. John A. Olszewski Jr., a Baltimore County Democrat and sponsor, noting that for many people, three unpaid sick days can equal a month's worth of groceries.
But the Earned Sick and Safe Time Act — to be cross-filed in the Senate and the House of Delegates — will likely face stiff opposition from business interests, which argue that the measure would hurt employers with fewer than 50 workers. Under the bill, workers would earn one hour of paid sick leave for every 30 hours worked.
"We need to stay away from one-size-fits-all employer mandates and focus on what to do to create more jobs with good benefits," said Kathleen T. Snyder, president of the Maryland Chamber of Commerce.
Many midsize and large companies have moved away from offering designated sick leave and instead offer general paid time off, and "we're not quite sure how this new law would impact those employers that have paid time off," she said.
More than 700,000 people in Maryland cannot earn paid sick days, according to Working Matters, a coalition of 65 organizations pushing for sickness benefits. Many without paid sick leave are home health care workers and restaurant employees who must work or face losing wages, workers who then end up exposing customers and patients to illness, the group said.
"We all get sick," said Melissa Broome, a senior policy advocate for the Job Opportunities Task Force, a founding member of the coalition, at a news conference Thursday. "We don't think people should have to choose between their jobs and their health."
Matt Burchell, a Baltimore resident who works as a server in an Anne Arundel County restaurant, said the money he would lose if he missed work because of illness on a Friday would mean a missed car payment, while the wages he would lose over the course of a week would equal his mortgage payment. He said he considers himself lucky that a recent ear infection hit on a Tuesday, not one of his busier days.
Airport worker Yaseen Abdul Malik, 27, who works at both Potbelly Sandwich Works and McDonald's at Baltimore-Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport, said he has been unable to schedule needed surgery on his leg because it would require a two-week recovery.
The problem extends to health in schools, said Mary Stein, a nurse in the Howard County school system.
"I have children who are sent to school ill because their parents can't stay home from work," Stein said. "Kids stay at the nurse's office because their parents can't pick them up. It's an enormous problem when kids come to school ill."
Andy Shallal, the owner of the Busboys and Poets restaurants, said it's a fallacy that the cost of such a mandate could force businesses to close. He said he has offered sick leave for full-time and part-time workers for three years, an expense that amounts to less than 1 percent of the payroll. And his business is growing, with two new locations planned.
"We are living proof the sky is not going to fall," he said.
Mandating sick leave would not only help employers protect their workers and customers from illness, it would help boost employee morale and retention, said Sen. Robert J. Garagiola, a bill sponsor and Montgomery County Democrat. Still, he said, "there are business leaders out there who will be looking to fight this legislation. We've got our work cut out."
The Maryland Chamber will likely oppose the bill, Snyder said.
"That employer has to figure out a way to pay for that time off," Snyder said. "This is a mandate, but when employers offer benefits, they have to have the sales to pay for those additional costs."

Two Maryland State Police troopers were injured early Saturday morning when a vehicle hit the back of a patrol car stopped at the scene of a robbery investigation in Joppa.
The driver of the vehicle was also injured.
The troopers are identified as Trooper Zachary Shelley, who has been a trooper for two and one-half years, and Trooper First Class David Stanley, a nine-year veteran of the Maryland State Police. Both troopers are assigned to road patrol duties at the Bel Air Barrack.
Shelley was taken to the Maryland Shock Trauma Center in Baltimore, where he was treated and released Saturday. Stanley was taken to Upper Chesapeake Medical Center in Bel Air, where he was treated and released the same day.
The driver of the Volkswagen Beetle that struck the patrol car is identified as Trina Emory, 32, of Edgewood. She was also taken to Shock Trauma and later released.
Shortly before 4 a.m. Saturday, troopers from the Bel Air Barrack were on the scene of a reported armed robbery at the Royal Farms store on Route 152 at Franklinville Road, according to a State Police news release. Shelley's emergency lights were activated on his unmarked patrol car, which he had moved into the southbound lane of Route 152 to protect crime scene evidence.
A preliminary investigation indicates Emory was headed south on Route 152 and failed to go around the stopped patrol car with its emergency lights on, according to the news release. The Volkswagen hit the rear of the patrol car Shelley was sitting in.
Stanley was near the vehicles when the crash occurred. He was injured when he jumped down an embankment to get out of the way of the Volkswagen after it hit the patrol car, according to the release.
The cause of the crash remains under investigation. Charges are pending.
The robbery the troopers were investigating was reported shortly after 2:30 a.m. Saturday. Two men, described as African American, one wearing a dark colored poncho and one a green poncho, entered the store and committed the robbery, according to the release. One robber is believed to have displayed a handgun.
They also sprayed something in the store that was originally thought to have possibly been a chemical agent, but was found to have been some type of non-toxic, "oily" substance, Tfc. Michael Cornbrooks of the MSP Criminal Enforcement Division said.
The store employee reported the robbers left the store with cigarettes and an undetermined amount of cash.
No one was injured during the robbery. State Police criminal investigators are continuing the investigation.
Latest Harford County
No arrests had been made and no suspects identified as of Tuesday morning, MSP spokesman Greg Shipley said.

This is the question being asked today, two days removed from the episode on board a JetBlue flight when the captain's erratic behavior forced the co-pilot to lock him out of the cockpit; Is the process of hiring pilots sufficient to assure that they have the required mental stability for the job?
When the question was put to me this morning by Stephanie Abrams of The Weather Channel, I said, overall, yes. Look at the successes over the years. Millions of flights, thousands of passengers "actin' the fool" and getting booted, sometimes arrested for mental breakdowns or simple air rage. One can't expect all that misbehavior to remain in the back of the plane. Pilots are human too.
There have been exceptions of course; Auburn Calloway the Fed Ex flight engineer who took a hammer to his fellow flight officers in 1994, Gamil al-Batouti the first officer on EgyptAir Flight 990 thought to have brought the B767 down in an act of suicide in 1999. Then there is the silly – leaning toward questionable – antics of former American Eagle pilot Timothy Martins, who confined his misbehavior to off-plane instances of embellishing his personal history to a reporter from ALPA magazine.
All of which is to say that when Clayton Osbon lost it on JetBlue Flight 191 he was not the first pilot to break down, but this is far, far, far from being the air safety issue the news stories would suggest.
Most airlines take the selection of airline pilots very seriously. Who wants to spend all that money training them, let alone entrust a multi-million dollar airplane into the care of a crackpot? Still, as aviation booms and pilot supply diminishes, there could be pressure to hire flyers who otherwise might not make the cut. To airlines so inclined, the JetBlue event earlier this week should be a wake-up call.
But if anyone should be paying attention, it is the folks who, following the attacks of 9-11 thought it was a good idea to arm pilots. The U.S. Federal Flight Deck Officer program may have (and I equivocate because its never been officially confirmed) allowed into its ranks, the aforementioned Timothy Martins, about whom you can read more here.
The folks who approve pilots to pack heat on passenger carrying flights better be taking that job as serious as death. Because while
Capt. Osbon's case is a personal tragedy and a public drama, had a firearm been in the cockpit, that's almost certainly how it could have ended up.

I scanned an object today where I started with capturing textures. After the first scans I turned textures off and continued scanning. Alignment all went fine. But each time I tried to fuse the result, David crashed when the progress bar was almost finished. I restarted and tried 2 more times.

Calif. Senate passes new gun bill inspired by massacre near UCSB
Family members and police could ask courts to take away a mentally disturbed person's guns under the bill
By Josh Richman and Jessica Calefati
The Oakland Tribune
SACRAMENTO — Family members and police could ask courts to take away a mentally disturbed person's guns under a bill inspired by May's UC Santa Barbara massacre and approved Wednesday by the state Senate.
AB1014 got at least 23 votes in the 40-member Senate, sending it to the Assembly for a vote later this week.
"Family members are often the first to spot the warning signs when someone is in crisis," said Assemblywoman Nancy Skinner, D-Berkeley, adding that the bill she co-authored "provides an effective tool to get guns out of the hands of loved ones to avoid these tragedies."
Gun-rights advocates disagree. "No one wants mentally disturbed individuals who are an imminent danger to themselves and others to be allowed to commit some act of tragic proportions, but this bill unfortunately does not resolve this concern," said Sam Paredes, executive director of Gun Owners of California.
Skinner joined with Assemblyman Das Williams, D-Santa Barbara, and Sen. Hannah-Beth Jackson, D-Santa Barbara, to offer the bill after Elliot Rodger on May killed six and wounded 13 others in a rampage before committing suicide.
Rodger, 22, had undergone years of therapy, and his parents — concerned by his erratic behavior — had contacted police about three weeks before the killing spree. But responding officers saw no cause to detain him or search his apartment and didn't know he already had bought the guns he would use in some of the slayings.
Current law allows seizure of guns from potentially violent, mentally ill people only after a licensed therapist notifies police of a risk.
Family members can call police, but if no crime has been committed, or the person doesn't meet criteria for an involuntary civil commitment to mental health treatment, police can't take away that person's firearms.
Modeled on domestic violence laws, AB1014 would let family members or police seek a court order that a mentally unstable person's guns be taken for safekeeping — and new gun purchases be prohibited — for one year if there's credible evidence of a risk of violence.
Connecticut, Indiana and Texas have similar laws.
But Paredes argued that the process described in the bill could give mentally unstable people days or even weeks before their guns are taken, while the current involuntary detention, evaluation and commitment process is more immediate.
Bill supporters rallying earlier Wednesday on the Capitol's steps included Richard Martinez and Bob Weiss whose children were killed by Rodger. They urged Gov. Jerry Brown to sign the bill if it reaches his desk.
Losing a child to gun violence "is the worst thing that can happen to you," said Martinez, of Santa Maria. "It's not like this in other developed countries, and it doesn't have to be like this now."
Weiss, of Thousand Oaks, said his daughter's death means "I'll never get to watch her graduate or dance with her at her wedding. I'll never get to celebrate another Father's Day with her.
"What I can do is speak out so that other families do not suffer what my family has been through."

Toyota is set to pull the sheets back on a new convertible sports hybrid at this year's Nurburgring 24-Hour endurance race. Co-developed by Gazoo Racing, the GRMN Hybrid Concept II is a slightly updated version of the concept that Toyota displayed at the 2010 Tokyo Auto Salon.
With its gasoline engine mounted mid-ship and a hybrid all-wheel-drive system, the GRMN should deliver drivers plenty of grip and excellent balance as well. Total combined output sits at 295 horsepower, with 245 ponies coming from the gasoline V6 and another 50 arriving via an electric motor. That motor supplies power to the two front wheels only.
The automaker says the machine weighs in at less than 3,300 lbs, though there's no indication as to what sort of fuel economy to expect from the drop-head. So, when can you buy one? We wouldn't hold our breath. With its wild looks and pricey all-wheel-drive system, it'll be a cold day in Toyota City before the GRMN lands on dealer lots.
