SALEM - In the Hood River legislators' first day in office, Rep. Mark Johnson was in on a ground-breaking landmark vote, and Sen. Chuck Thomsen was part of the opening ceremony pomp.
Republicans Thomsen and Johnson, elected Nov. 2 to the Oregon Legislature, were sworn in Monday along with fellow elected members and were on hand when Gov. John Kitzhaber took the oath of office.
Thomsen and fellow Sen. Lee Beyer (D-Springfield) escorted Speaker Peter Courtney (D-Salem) to the podium for his swearing in after a brief vote in which senators supported Courtney 21-9 in a challenge by Sen. Jason Atkinson. (R-Salem). Thomsen voted for Courtney.
Thomsen, Dist. 26, has been appointed to the Environment and Natural Resources and Ways and Means committees, and the Ways and Means subcommittee on Natural Resources.
Thomsen, a Pine Grove pear grower, said he wants to give a solid pro-agriculture voice to the Environmental and Natural Resources committee.
"I'd like to see the (committee) name changed to reflect agriculture. It now has a farmer serving on the committee," said Thomsen'. His wife, Kristi, joined him at the Senate opening ceremony.
Johnson, a private contractor, Dist. 52, has earned the distinction of being one of only two freshmen representatives appointed to lead a committee. He will serve as Co-Chair of the House Education Committee's Higher Education Subcommittee, which is charged with reviewing and developing policies relating to Oregon's community colleges and universities.
Johnson voted yes in the House's first major item of business: the resolution for co-governance by Democrats and Republicans. The resolution, which passed 57-3, dramatically changes House rules in light of the half-and-half power split in the House: now at 30 representatives from each party.
"This is our opportunity to work together," Rep. Dennis Richardson of Central Point said in introducing the resolution.
"These rules will give an equal voice, equal power, to all 60 members of the House."
Rep. Peter Buckley of Ashland told the House that in the face of "uncertainty, tension and fear," the rules will help ensure "decisions are made by the group."
Johnson said of the decision, "It's going to keep the spirit of unity. I hope we can work together.
"People of Oregon are going to watch us to see what we do,"' Johnson said.
Johnson said starting his House career is was an "exciting moment."
"It's very humbling to be one of Oregon's 60 members of the House. Each of us has a definite responsibility."
Johnson was accompanied by his wife, Melodi, and daughter, Natalie, 17.
"It's my honor to serve the citizens of House District 52," Rep. Johnson said. "I look forward to working with members of both sides of the aisle to help improve our economy and balance the state budget."
"A stronger system of higher education is critical to our economic recovery," said Johnson, a member of the Hood River School Board. "As Co-Chair of the Higher Education Subcommittee, I'll work with fellow members to expand access to our community colleges, universities and workforce development programs. We will focus on giving our institutions the tools and flexibility they need to prepare their students for 21st century jobs."
Johnson will also serve on the House Agriculture and Natural Resources Committee and the House Business and Labor Committee. He said both committees will focus on issues and industries that are important to House District 52.
"These committee assignments give me an opportunity to protect and support our local farms and small businesses," Rep. Johnson said. "I'm hopeful we will identify and eliminate barriers to job creation, and to make state government friendlier to the farmers and businesses that are the backbone of Oregon's economy."

No Child Should Have to Sleep Outside
Posted in Grant recipients by Christine Wood
Homeless families live in the shadows. They can't apply for temporary housing if they are staying with friends. They must be sleeping in a shelter or on the street to apply. Most of the emergency shelters available in Seattle are gender specific and require that married couples or parents and children split up. For many, the only other choice is to sleep in their car, a tent, or a public bathroom.

Quote: There is a seperate one for members only
Quote: A woman would be more likely to share my feelings, since for her, sex is internal and physically alerting.
Quote:Has anyone made a distinction between having sex and making love?
Quote: Not at the same time, of course, since that would be kinky.
Why not at the same time? Surely there are a handful of Satanists out there who have indulged in a three-, four- or fivesome!
Quote:...a total surrender to the other person, total commitment to them, and permanent spiritual, mental, and physical bonding.
Quote: From my own point of view, I have had sex, but I'm not sure I've ever been in love (I mean real, earth-shattering, passionate love). Perhaps such a thing as true love does not exist. Or maybe I'm just far too cynical for my own good

Does your small business have a website? If not, it's time to build one. Companies without an online presence face an incredibly difficult uphill climb, because we live in a connected world where people discover products and services by searching on the internet—you don't want to miss that potentially lucrative boat. Sure, creating a business website may take months of painstaking planning, debating, and compromise, but setting up a decent website doesn't have to be painful, provided you have the proper tools. And the most important tool is the right web hosting service.
The Small Business Hosting Basics
If you aren't familiar with web hosting, here's a simple explanation. A web host is a company that has servers that you'll use to store and deliver the audio, video, documents, and other files that make up your website and its content. These servers can be of the shared, dedicated, or virtual varieties. If you want to learn more about those hosting types, please visit the highlighted links that are sprinkled throughout this article for primers on each of them. And if you want to launch your own web hosting company without many of the associated hardware headaches, you should look into reseller hosting.
There are dozens upon dozens of web hosting services clamoring for your dollar, including super-popular services (such as GoDaddy) and the lesser-known offerings (such as SiteGround). Large businesses can spend hundreds and (sometimes thousands!) of dollars each year on dedicated hosting or virtual private server (VPS) hosting, the two categories we're focusing on for small businesses with website needs.
See How We Test Web Hosting Services
One thing we learned while reviewing web hosting services is that reading the fine print is a must, especially if you are concerned about keeping prices low. Many web hosts have several increasingly expensive tiers, with introductory features in starter packages and more robust offerings in higher-priced plans. We recommend a healthy course of comparison-shopping before pulling out a credit card; you'll want to sign up with a service that has the features that best align with your website-building goals.
Small Business Hosting Prices
If you're a small business owner, you're going to want to run with either dedicated or VPS hosting. A dedicated server will likely cost you more than $100 per month; it's definitely not cheap web hosting. The benefit? Your website lives on a server all by its lonesome, so it takes advantage of the server's full resources. You'll probably need to handle firewalls and maintenance yourself, however, unless you opt for a managed server, which costs even more money.
If you want to save some cash, VPS hosting is generally a sufficient—and more wallet-friendly—option. VPS hosting falls midway between shared and dedicated hosting. By building your website in a VPS environment, you won't share resources with the other sites that live on the same server, the way you would with shared hosting. In fact, your site lives in a partitioned server area that has its own operating system, storage, RAM, and monthly data transfers, so you can expect smoother, more-stable site performance. You can get solid VPS hosting for approximately $20 to $30 per month.
Don't be swayed by the big fonts touting the monthly fee: Make sure that a particular pricing tier actually offers what you need. Some hosts charge extra for access to website builders that can help you design your site. Other hosts require you to commit to a three-year hosting agreement in order to get that low per-month price. Or the price is an introductory one, and after a month, you will revert to a higher price. Until you know what features you need and how quickly you plan to grow, you might not want to commit to annual plans.
The Features You Need
When you begin shopping for a site, it's good to have a list of the features you need. For example, you'll want a web host that offers unlimited monthly data transfers and email, a choice of solid-state or traditional hard drive storage, and 24/7 customer support. Even the server's operating system selection is important; Windows-based servers offer an environment to run scripts written in a Microsoft-centric framework, though Linux-based servers are also available (and more commonplace).
Please note that if you're planning on selling a product, look for a web host that offers a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificate, because it encrypts the data between the customer's browser and web host to safeguard purchasing information. You're probably familiar with SSL; it's the green padlock that appears in your web browser's address bar as you visit an online financial institution or retail outlet. A few companies toss in a SSL certificate free of charge; others may charge you $100 for that extra layer of security.
The Importance of Uptime
All the aforementioned features are valuable parts of the web hosting experience, but none matches the importance of site uptime. If your site is down, clients or customers will be unable to find you or access your products or services.
To test this important aspect of hosting, we include uptime monitoring as part of our review process, and the results show that most web hosts do an excellent job of keeping sites up and running. Sites with uptime problems aren't eligible for high scores. All services suffer ups and downs, sometimes for reasons beyond their control. Those sites that fail to quickly address the problem are penalized accordingly.

Derry town administrator pleads not guilty to lewdness, indecent exposureBy HUNTER McGEE
Union Leader Correspondent
October 11. 2013 9:50PM
DERRY — Town Administrator John Anderson has entered a plea of not guilty to charges he allegedly invited a DirecTV salesman into his home while in the nude and acted in an improper manner.
Acting through his attorney, James Rosenberg, Anderson entered the plea at Derry District Court as his arraignment, scheduled for Friday, had been waived.
"He entered a plea of not guilty," Rosenberg said. "Right now we are trying to size up the nature of the charges."
Anderson 50, is charged with lewdness and indecent exposure for allegedly inviting the salesman into his house on July 11 while in the nude and performing a sexual act on himself.
Following the alleged incident, the Derry Town Council voted in nonpublic session to stop paying Anderson, pending the outcome of a meeting with him.
After meeting last month with Anderson and his former attorney, Cornelius Sullivan, in a closed door session, the council took no action and voted to seal the minutes.
Larry Budreau, acting town administrator, said Friday that no decision had been reached in the matter.
"Status quo," Budreau said.
Rosenberg didn't comment as to why he was now representing Anderson in place of Sullivan.
County Attorney James Reams has said the state is confident with the charges and will move forward with its case against Anderson.
The case will now move to the trial phase; a date has not been set, according to court staff.

News about NeuroVax at the AAN. Sounds promising but I didn't read anything about disability progression.
The Immune Response Corporation's NeuroVax Restores FOXP3+ T-Cell Levels Believed to Help in Multiple Sclerosis
Oral Presentation at American Academy of Neurology
CARLSBAD, C.A. -- April 10, 2006 -- The Immune Response Corporation (OTCBB:IMNR.OB) announced that its T-cell receptor peptide vaccine candidate, NeuroVax™, induces increased FOXP3 expression resulting in re-establishment of normal levels of the FOXP3+ regulatory T-cells believed to be important in controlling the development of multiple sclerosis (MS).
Results of the recently completed open-label trial in MS patients were presented yesterday by Dr. Dennis Bourdette, Oregon Health and Sciences University (OHSU) Department of Neurology Chair, during an oral presentation at the 58th Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Neurology in San Diego, CA.
"NeuroVax™ is a promising candidate for development as a novel vaccine for treating patients with MS," said Dr. Bourdette, who is also a member of the Company's Scientific Advisory Board guiding the development of NeuroVax™. "The TCR peptide vaccine works by down-regulating the pathogenic T-cells causing the MS. Our clinical findings indicate that NeuroVax™ induces strong, disease-specific immune responses in essentially all the MS patients treated. The findings indicate that an important part of the strong disease-specific immune response induced by NeuroVax™ is the stimulation of FOXP3+ regulatory T-cells. This exciting approach could play an important role in the treatment of MS."
About the Study
This one-year open-label trial enrolled 25 patients who received monthly injections of NeuroVax™. Seventeen of these were newly-enrolled patients, and showed statistically lower baseline levels of FOXP3+ mRNA measured by RT-PCR (P =.03) and FOXP3 protein expression by Western blot (p=.02) when compared with healthy controls.
Following immunization of these MS patients with NeuroVax™, 14/17 patients at 52 weeks demonstrated increased FOXP3+ mRNA expression over baseline (P =.01) and FOXP3 protein expression as a group was also statistically increased over baseline (P =.02). In a number of patients, FOXP3 message and protein expression became higher than those in healthy controls.
These data indicate that a key portion of the strong immune responses induced in patients given NeuroVax™ include increases in expression of FOXP3, a marker which is associated with the activity of CD4+CD25+ regulatory T-cells. NeuroVax™ thus may be boosting an important immune regulatory network which may be clinically beneficial for MS patients.
"These exciting findings on the regulatory mechanism of how NeuroVax™ can be influencing the pathogenic T-cells causing MS, coupled with our earlier MRI data that suggest NeuroVax™ may decrease the number of total new Gadolinium enhancing lesions, are the basis for the design of a 300-patient Phase II study that will be initiated later this year in Eastern Europe and the United States that will test the clinical benefit of NeuroVax™ by assessing its effect on MRI and relapse rates," commented Dr. Joseph O'Neill, President and Chief Executive Officer of The Immune Response Corporation.
About Multiple Sclerosis
MS is an autoimmune disease in which the immune system mistakenly attacks normal tissues of the central nervous system. It afflicts approximately 400,000 people in the United States and more than 2.5 million worldwide (source: National MS Society).
The disease is caused by activation of a specific subset of the patient's own white blood cells, pathogenic T-cells, which then attack a fatty tissue called myelin that surrounds and protects nerve fibers and creates scarring (sclerosis) that interferes with the normal transmission of nerve impulses. This damage, in turn, leads to a variety of chronic and highly individual and unpredictable neurological symptoms, ranging from movement and balance problems to vision impairment.
Autoimmune diseases such as MS may result from the failure of normal immune regulatory mechanisms to prevent proliferation of pathogenic T-cells. Specifically, The Immune Response Corporation's research indicates that MS patients have diminished levels of FOXP3 message and protein expression levels in peripheral T-cells. This observation is the first to link a defect in functional peripheral immunoregulation to an established genetic marker, FOXP3, which previously has been shown to be involved in maintaining immune tolerance and repressing the development of autoimmune diseases such as MS.
About The Immune Response Corporation
The Immune Response Corporation (OTCBB: IMNR.OB) is an immuno-pharmaceutical company focused on developing products to treat autoimmune and infectious diseases. The Company's lead immune-based therapeutic product candidates are NeuroVax™ for the treatment of MS and IR103 for the treatment of HIV infection. Both of these therapies are in Phase II clinical development and are designed to stimulate pathogen-specific immune responses aimed at slowing or halting the rate of disease progression.
NeuroVax™, which is based on the Company's patented T-cell receptor (TCR) peptide technology, has shown potential clinical value in the treatment of relapsing forms of MS. NeuroVax™ has been shown to stimulate strong, disease-specific cell-mediated immunity in nearly all patients treated and appears to work by enhancing levels of FOXP3+ Treg cells that are able to down-regulate the activity of pathogenic T-cells that cause MS.
Increasing scientific findings have associated diminished levels of FOXP3+ Treg cell responses with the pathogenesis and progression of MS and other autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA), psoriasis and Crohn's disease.
NeuroVax™ is in clinical development by The Immune Response Corporation and is not approved by any regulatory agencies in any country at this time.
NeuroVax™ is a trademark of The Immune Response Corporation.

NEW YORK — Hall of Fame football star Jim Brown — running out of time to retrieve his 1964 NFL championship ring — has sued a memorabilia dealer.
The 78-year-old Los Angeles resident filed the lawsuit Tuesday in Manhattan federal court against Lelands.com and Lelands Collectibles Inc.
The lawsuit seeks to halt the sale of the ring in an online auction that ends Friday. It also seeks unspecified damages over broadcast remarks Lelands' founder made about Brown.
A message left Wednesday with Lelands was not immediately returned.
The lawsuit said the ring is priceless to the former Cleveland Browns player. The bidding was around $58,948 Wednesday afternoon.
Brown rushed for 12,312 yards and scored 106 touchdowns in nine seasons before retiring at the peak of his career in 1965.

July 26, 2013
We have officially gone from declaring independence from a tyrannical monarch known as King George to downright obsessing over the birth of yet another future King George, the 'royal baby' George Alexander Louis.
I've talked in the past about how the founding fathers would be truly ashamed at the state of our nation, from Constitution-free zones to NSA spying and mega banks dismantling the economy, but the new worship of monarchy within the United States is truly the pinnacle of absolute betrayal against the ideology that ignited 1776.
It truly represents the fact that as a society we have abandoned our fight against 'royalty' that consider themselves to be demigods. So-called 'destined' figureheads who claim to have the right to rule over the people, all while historically keeping it within the family through incest in order to maintain bloodlines from outside influence (because we are worthless peons to them).
Figureheads that are now adorned in the media as gods among us, monarchs that are now meant to invoke worship from the American people who are literally talking about the royal baby at dinner as a subject of interest.
Americans that have obsessed over the potential name of the new 'royal baby', who has now been (in an act of irony or cruel intention) given the name of George — ultimately positioned to become King George VII. And let me be clear, if we continue on this path we can be sure that by the time this day comes it will be very similar to the tyranny that led to the creation of the Declaration of Independence against George III. Only this time, the people may very well welcome their monarch overlords. And it won't be the royal baby ruling with an iron fist, it will be the 'elected' leaders.
But it doesn't matter because these monarchs have fancy names that demean the average person and make them sound important. After all, it's the amazing royal baby — look how royal he is!
Just look at this CBS News article revealing the 'royal baby' name, which is on the homepage as top news. Not only does it have a disturbing 9,000 Facebook shares (just getting real information like the fact that the DHS says the Constitution is no longer valid to 4,000 Facebook shares is a real challenge), but the rest of the mainstream media is also covering this announcement as if it were on par with real news. A quick Google search reveals virtually all American news outlets are covering this as their top story, with CNN running multiple pieces exploring the history of the baby's name and eagerly addressing the new monarch as His Royal Highness in a display of groveling bewilderment.
Thankfully, it seems many commenters are truly astounded to see such ridiculous coverage. A comment by TJK43219 on CBS News reads:
"It is annoying the way Americans fawn over the Royals. We fought for our independence from Britain hundreds of years ago. Now Americans are kissing Britsh royalty butt. So sad."
Unfortunately on the same report, some 'royal baby' fanatics from the US express their bedazzlement over the new royal baby that apparently gives their lives new meaning. After all, the mainstream media says it's breaking top news. MISSKING2U writes in the comment section of the story:
"I love Prince George's name. I also love the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. Its refreshing to see a young, beautiful couple who exudes traditional images of family, faith and wholesome living. I'm American and I'm inspired by them. I love that they kept with tradition in naming their little one George. I think all future kings should be subjected to traditional royal names. Doing this, sets them apart."

We are big fans of the Farrell brand. In case you haven't come across them yet they are an quirky English indie with ex-Burberry fella Ben Dickens at the helm and Robbie Williams, yes him, providing some of the inspiration.
They also have a blog that sometime can be laugh out loud funny.
And they have just unveiled their spring summer collection and we really like a lot of it. There's a lot of navy and white, some very classy lightweight rain coats, striking knitwear and more. There's a whiff of the 1950s about it, especially that bowling shirt.
Here are five of their items which caught our eye. You can view the whole collection on their website.

MINIWIZ: New Solar, Wind & Recycled Inventions
We've blogged about MINIWIZ's HYmini Wind and Solar Charger before, so we were excited to view their brand new line of sustainable energy products at CES. Among them are a recycled brick/wall system, a solar-powered home and garden light, and a wind- and solar-powered battery charger.
• 1-2 POLLIBRICK: This innovative architectural brick/curtain wall system is made from recycled PET bottles. The bricks are self-interlocking and can be used to create interior and exterior walls, garden fences, planters, and can also be lit with an integrated solar module. POLLIBRICK will be available later this year, but until then definitely check out the MINIWIZ site to see more pictures and applications for this cool building material.
• 3-4 SOLARBULB: We love this mod solar-powered LED light. The weatherproof light can be used on its own or screwed into any standard plastic bottle (or the POLLIBRICK) to create indoor and outdoor lamps. It takes four hours to charge and illuminates for five hours. SOLARBULB is now available for $24.99 at the MINIWIZ store. More information can also be found at the MINIWIZ site.
• 5 HYmini Battery Charger: This latest addition to HYmni line is so new, it isn't even listed on the MINIWIZ site yet. Reps told us it will be available later this year. We like that it incorporates both solar and wind power, and its fun adult- and kid-friendly design.

Minimally Invasive Heart Surgery Procedures for Adults
The University of Chicago Medicine is home to a thriving minimally invasive cardiac surgery program that offers a wide range of surgeries that can be performed less invasively through small incisions. All of these procedures provide several benefits compared to traditional, open approaches--from a reduced hospital stay and less pain, to minimal scarring and a much quicker recovery. It is possible for more than one type of heart problem to be treated at the same time.
Coronary Artery Disease & Angina (Chest Pain)
We offer a variety of approaches to coronary artery bypass surgery to achieve revascularization. Each patient's case is evaluated for the best approach. In some instances, we collaborate with interventional cardiologists to use coronary stenting techniques in addition to bypass grafts. This hybrid approach allows us to extend the benefits of minimally invasive bypass surgery to a broader patient population.
Transmyocardial Laser Revascularization (TMLR)
TMLR is a technique that uses lasers to create new channels of blood flow to the heart to relieve severe chest pain (angina) in patients with coronary artery disease. TMLR is sometimes performed in addition to coronary bypass surgery, but it is also an option for patients with acute angina who are not candidates for bypass surgery or angioplasty. This procedure can also be performed via very small incisions using the da Vinci Surgical System.
Heart Valve Disease
Procedures to fix leaky (regurgitation), infected, or narrowed (stenosis) valves can be performed through small incisions, sometimes with the assistance of the da Vinci surgical robot. Our surgeons aim to repair valves before opting for valve replacement. Collectively, our surgical team has more experience performing minimally invasive valve surgery than any other hospital in the greater Chicago area. Procedures include:
- Aortic valve repair or replacement
- Mitral valve repair or replacement
- Pulmonary valve repair, plus removal of clots and other procedures
- Tricuspid valve repair or replacement
»Learn more about surgery for heart valve disease
Atrial Fibrillation
Surgeons use special devices that emit radiofrequency waves (modified electrical energy) to create small scars on the heart's surface. These scars stop the erratic impulses of atrial fibrillation to help restore a normal electrical pathway through the heart. Our surgeons can treat atrial fibrillation as a stand-alone procedure or in conjunction with coronary bypass surgery or treatment of valve disease. This procedure can also be performed with robotic assistance through very small incisions. »Learn more about surgery to treat atrial fibrillation
Heart Failure
Implantation of Ventricular Assist Devices
The CardioVad is a unique ventricular assist device that can be implanted through a small incision at the side of the chest. The CardioVad boosts the pumping action of a weak heart, and can be used as a permanent alternative to heart transplant.
Biventricular Pacing
For some people with heart failure, the ventricles may not contract in a synchronized way--significantly affecting the pumping action of the heart. To correct this problem, physicians can insert a special biventricular pacemaker to stimulate the ventricles to contract properly. Insertion of the pacemaker and leads can be done through small incisions at the side of the chest.
Congenital Heart Disease
Some forms of congenital heart disease can be successfully treated without opening the chest. Congenital heart defects that can be treated with minimally invasive surgery include:
- Atrial septal defect
- Patent ductus arteriosus
- Ventricular septal defect

It surprises me that none has helped you. I am not the best to get you going.
hopefully someone with deeper knowledge see my clumsy attemt and give you a better answer.
So if I get it. You boot using a CD or DVD or USB? and you have the pupsavefile either on CD or DVD or USB but not on HDD?
Or do you have a frugal install on HDD doing dual booting with Windows?
Anyway. To be able to keep the save file you already have you ahve to make a kind of easy backup of it in a safe place.
I would hit "Space or P or something when the boot starts.
Usually one see some text telling about Puppy booting. Then you hit the right char and then you write this
puppy pfix=ram and then hit enter and that allow you to boot without mounting the pupsave file.
Then you use this pristine state to rename and move the pupsave file. Name it backup030711 or something that you remmber is the backup file.
Then after having done that backup you either add the files programs you need or you start anew and make another choice on what to download and install browser and such and you make a new pupsavefile. That one you can also save as a back up if you boot into pfix=ram because if you try to rename and move the savefile while it is mounted and in use then it either protest or can easily get corrupted and you lose the work.
Remember I am a Noob so I maybe miss some important aspect but this should get you started.
The important thing is that if you boot then the script starting the boot will search in every partition and attached drive so you really need to hide the older pupsave so it does not get booted when you want to start anew and try out another set up of software. Renaming it backup most likely accomplish this.
I use Google Search on Puppy Forum
not an ideal solution though

Gustavo that is so true but it will not solve him wanting to make major other changes and still save the file he has now. My suggestion that he boot using pfix=ram and then rename the pupsave file to a backup name with time stamp in the name would allow him to have many such different backups and still be able to put together bigger savefiles for the new set ups he learn to prefer after trying out them.
He can chose the biggest savefile when he has learned what apps he prefer to have in that savefile. if he makes it big now then he has less space for the really big one when he has decided on what to use in it
I wish he could tell more about the install and what computer it is on and how much RAM and such and other useful info

Post subject: Pupsaves issues...
Subject description: If I get a coin everyti...
You're right nooby, that's the easy way of test stuff...
I'm not sure if every puppy read pupsaves on the same way -which sounds logical-, but here are two commands to create a new EXT2 pupsave with 32MB:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/hda1/lupusave-something.2fs bs=1k count=32000
mke2fs -q -m 0 -F /mnt/hda1/lupusave-something.2fs
Fix the 'something' part and the path, use the right data. Also check the prefix (lupusave its for Lucid Pupies).
Use this if you want to make a new pupsave to test some thing as on 1º boot.
Place it on the Grub 'subdir' folder, next to the actual pupsave and Puppy will recognize that file -adding an option at bootup to choose which one to load-.
Hope it helps.

Is there any place where we can find out the proper prefix for different puppies? (one of my computers goes "blank" when leaving Xwin at shutdown, thereby making the savefile creation process difficult/impossible (I've got some workarounds, but this would be better)

Yes, here: /initrd/DISTRO_SPECS (open as text).
This is the line (posting from Lucid Puppy 520):
#Prefix for some filenames: exs: lupusave.2fs, lupu-520.sfs

Post subject: Changing pupsave file
If it is still of any interest:
There is a pretty simple way of changing a pupsave file; downsizing and changing the file system included. All you need is a Puppy LiveCD, preferably of the version that is frugally installed; or another Puppy also frugally installed.
The order of things then:
1. Boot your frugal Puppy and at the grub splash screen
enter pfix=ram
to the kernel line at the bottom of the screen.
2. Open the Puppy folder on /mnt/home and make a copy of the existing pupsave file to another partition, just in case.
3. Now shutdown this Puppy and create a new savefile with another name to distinguish it from the first pupsave file. Give it the size and the filesystem you want.
4. Now boot from the LiveCD or from another frugal Puppy.
5. Open /mnt/home and go to the folder with the 2 pupsave files. Open both. Delete the contents of pupsave-new and copy the contents of pupsave-old into pupsave-new (provided the used space inside pupsave-old is less than the available space in pupsave-new).
6. Delete pupsave-old from /mnt/home; not the saved copy mind you.
7. Reboot to the just modified frugal Puppy and you will have a smaller pupsave with another filesystem.
Tested on Lucid and working fine.
If anything goes wrong, you still have a copy of pupsave-old that can be restored.

Raffi Torres is dirtier than a gardener's fingernails.
Raffi Torres is uglier than an oil spill.
Raffi Torres is slimier than spoiled meat.
There. I feel better.
Maybe the Blackhawks should try this exercise before tonight's game against the Phoenix Coyotes. Quick, someone give Dave Bolland a pen and a piece of paper.
When the puck drops at Phoenix's Jobing.com Arena, the Hawks will be tempted to drop Torres. Although it's much easier said than done, they'll have to resist those temptations.
Now is not the time for the league's best team to succumb to distractions.
Keep your composure. Keep looking forward.
Most importantly, keep winning.
It's hard to believe, but almost 10 months have passed since the last time the Hawks faced the most pathetic player in the NHL. The Hawks were hosting the Coyotes in Game 3 of the Western Conference quarterfinals April 17 when Torres skated away from the puck, leaped off of his skates and drove his left shoulder into the side of Marian Hossa's head with a devastating and illegal hit.
A hush fell over the United Center as a half-dozen emergency medical personnel huddled near Hossa. The star forward remained motionless as he was strapped on to a backboard and wheeled off of the ice on a stretcher. One strap covered the top of his helmet. Two straps covered the Hawks' logo on his red sweater. Two straps covered his black shorts.
Hossa was loaded into an ambulance and rushed to a nearby hospital. The hit had knocked him out cold, but he was released from the hospital later in the evening to begin a long recovery from a concussion.
If the hit had occurred outside of the building, Torres probably would have ended up in a holding cell at 26th and California. But it happened on the ice, and Torres predictably fell to his knees and turtled when Hawks enforcer Brandon Bollig went after him at the opposite end of the rink.
After all, Torres is not one to engage in a fair fight. He prefers to take cheap shots and skate away.
The NHL's penalty was harsh for the journeyman goon, who qualified as a repeat offender under the league's collective bargaining agreement. Torres was suspended for 25 games including the playoffs – later, his penalty was reduced to 21 games overall – and he did not return to the ice until Saturday.
Since then, Torres has reminded everyone of his abilities with zero goals and zero assists in two games. He logged 17 shifts against the Dallas Stars and 12 shifts against the Minnesota Wild.
Given last year's playoff series, perhaps it's appropriate that today marks Game 3 for Torres.
But the Hawks have too much going for them to worry about a clown on skates. Winning the game and earning two points in the standings is more important than seeking revenge.
At 8-0-2, the Hawks have the best record in the league. Most of that success has come on the road, where the Hawks have won in hostile environments such as Los Angeles, Vancouver and San Jose.
A shortened 48-game season makes each of those wins even more valuable.
Expect another crowded playoff race this spring as teams compete for home-ice advantage in the hard-fought Western Conference. Last season, only 10 points separated the five best teams.
Whether the Hawks earn two points, one point or zero points tonight could loom large in April. The difference could separate a No. 1 seed from a No. 2 seed, or a No. 3 from a No. 4, or … you get the idea.
That's why, tonight, the Hawks should focus on the puck rather than the punk.
If Torres happens to have the puck along the boards or across the ice and a Hawks player is nearby, by all means, crunch him like an aluminum can. The same goes for any skater on the Coyotes' roster.
But only special players deserve special attention.
Torres is far from special.

GMC K1500 Pickup Idle Air Control Valves and Motors
An idle air control valve (IAC) or motor is an electronically controlled device on fuel injected engines which allows air to pass by the closed throttle body during engine idling. Without this air, the engine would be starved for oxygen and idle very roughly or die altogether.
IAC valves can become clogged and require cleaning, although many mechanics may recommend you just replace the valve. When the valve becomes clogged or fails, the engine will not get sufficient air to operate properly when the throttle plate is closed. If you notice rough idling which clears up once the accelerator is depressed, it may be possible you need a new IAC valve!
We recommend consulting with a repair manual or automotive professional when looking to replace an Idle Air Control Valve. Some may be simple jobs while others could entail more tedious work.
We stock and sell a wide variety of quality GMC K1500 Pickup Idle Air Control Valves and Motors from these manufacturers:

Kuster: 'Dramatic changes' seen in climate
By KIMBERLY HOUGHTON
Union Leader Correspondent
U.S. Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island, left, and Congresswoman Annie Kuster of New Hampshire host a roundtable discussion on climate change Friday at Zimmerman's Ski and Snowboard in Nashua. (KIMBERLY HOUGHTON/Union Leader Correspondent)
— New Hampshire ski, travel and tourism representatives met on Friday to discuss climate change and how it is affecting the Granite State economy. U.S. Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., joined 2nd District Rep. Ann Kuster, D-N.H., to host the roundtable discussion, hearing feedback from area ski resort owners and a climatologist from the University of New Hampshire.
"The big picture is that we are getting wetter, and we are getting warmer," said Dr. Cameron Wake, the UNH climatologist. The snow-covered dynamics is making big changes in New Hampshire, and it is impacting winter recreation, according to Wake.
In New England, there has been a more than 70 percent increase in heavy precipitation events, with about 15 incidents taking place in Nashua in the last decade that involved more than four-inches of precipitation in a quick amount of time, he said.
"The impact of climate has been so broad here in New Hampshire," said Kuster. " … We are seeing dramatic changes."
Some of those changes include a significant delay in winter temperatures, forcing winter recreation to start later, according to officials.
Two years ago, Lake Winnipesaukee was not frozen by Feb. 1, prompting a popular pond hockey tournament to be moved.
"I just think that is a terrible loss for us," said Wake, adding outdoor recreational activities are being moved indoors.
In addition, if there is no snow in the backyards, families are sometimes not inclined to head north for skiing and other outdoor sports, according to Stefan Hausberger, owner of Zimmerman's Ski and Snowboard in Nashua where the roundtable discussion was held.
Hausberger said his shop is selling more high-end ski equipment because newcomers are not coming through the door. He believes the lack of snow on the ground in southern New Hampshire is resulting in a loss of introductory skiers.
A few years ago, there was a lackluster snowmobiling season because of a shortage of snow, said Lori Harnois, Travel and Tourism Development director for the state's Department of Resources and Economic Development.
New Hampshire tourism is the second largest industry in the state with 34 million visitors spending a combined $4.6 billion during their trips.
"So it is definitely a vital industry for New Hampshire," she said, adding the climate change is making businesses adapt for the future.
Ben Wilcox of Mount Cranmore, who also serves as the board chairman for SkiNH, said snowmaking originated as a complement to natural snow.
Six years ago, Cranmore was using 40 to 50 snow guns for its trails. Now, it is using 150 snow guns because of improved snowmaking technology.
"We need to make snow faster, more efficiently and use less energy," said Wilcox. "It has become the nature of what we do."
"You are adjusting to the reality of what is to come," responded Kuster.
According to Whitehouse, the impact of climate change is apparent even for V.F. Corporation, which owns popular companies like The North Face.
He is hopeful that legislation will eventually be approved to reduce carbon pollution — perhaps as early as next year.
"It is a very big deal for Rhode Island," said Whitehouse, noting large storms have created more ocean along the shores, heavy river flooding in the spring and tropical storms are happening later in the year that before.
"We are going to start experiencing this vicious cycle," said Wake, who said two or three snowless winter seasons could devastate smaller family-owned businesses in the northern New Hampshire.

Consumers Boost Spending
U.S. consumers opened their wallets again in May, signaling modest strength for a key pillar of the economic recovery.
Personal spending, which measures purchases ranging from cars and clothes to health care to heating, rose 0.3% in May from a month earlier, the Commerce Department said Thursday. That reversed a 0.3% decline in April.

Revised guidebook for Manchester school district's English Learner program unveiledBy TED SIEFER
New Hampshire Union Leader
March 26. 2013 12:18AM
MANCHESTER - After nearly six months, the school board's Coordination Committee on Monday approved a guidebook for the district's English Learner (EL) program, but not before the superintendent made last-minute changes.
The guidebook has been mired in controversy, primarily due to proposed changes in how EL students are taught at the high-school level. An immigrant advocacy group, along with the district's former EL director, had pushed for shifting to a "push-in" program, in which the goal is to move students into regular classes. Currently most EL high school students are taught in a separate program at Central High.
Teachers in the Central program and a couple school board members have resisted those changes.
Superintendent Thomas Brennan presented a new version copy of the handbook on Tuesday that had been revised from the one distributed to the committee last week.
"What we have here is the best representation of what we need for the school district to be in compliance with the laws of the state and federal government," Brennan said.
The vote was 5-2, with committee members Deb Gagnon Langton and Art Beaudry opposed. The full Board of School Committee is expected to vote on the plan at its next meeting.
Looking to hire
The Coordination Committee also sent to the full board a job description to hire an in-house attorney.
The board voted make the move after the district acknowledged that legal costs for outside attorneys this year will exceed $350,000, due largely to the investigation of the former principal at Manchester High School West.
The attorney will be responsible for providing legal counsel and representation to the superintendent, the staff and the school board on district matters, according to the page-long description.
The salary range for the position will be $125,000-$145,000.

by Punchy » Mon Sep 19, 2011 5:52 amCriminal: The Last Of The Innocent #4 - 'Number Four' - Brubaker, Phillips and Stewart
Story - As a society, we in general like to see the bad guys get punished, we like to see 'em get what's coming. It's why the Hays Code, along with banning homosexuality and interracial kissing in movies, also made it a law that all criminal acts had to be punished, and that criminals should not elicit sympathy from the audience. Now of course that was the 1930s, society has moved on, but the rule generally still applies, in a story, we expect to see the criminal get somewhat of a comeuppance. Look at the reaction to AMC's The Killing when they didn't reveal who killed Rosie Larsen! This is why ever since Riley Richards killed his wife Felix at the end of Criminal: The Last Of The Innocent #2, I and many other readers have been waiting for the full weight of the law to come crashing down on Riley, and watching with bated breath as his plans spin out of control...
...except Brubaker swerved us. We have been conditioned to expect Riley to get punished. We saw his Father-In-Law's suspicions, we saw him hire the P.I Britt Black, we saw his alibi come under threat. But Riley still got away with it. At the end of this issue, Riley is rich, happy and has a new girlfriend, his life has been improved by the crime. This goes against everything the Hays Code stands for!
It was very surprising to see Riley get off scott-free, and for me, it shows again why Criminal is one of the best comics on the market, it never does what you expect, Whilst this wasn't quite up there with the twists at the end of the 'Bad Night' storyline, it was still great. I do have a few problems with it however. Brubaker introduced several possible threats to Riley's alibi in #3, most importantly a Private Detective, and I feel that the way that these threats were dealt with was a bit rushed, and that lessened the sense of danger. The same sense of the story being rushed was also present in the revelations about the Brookview Serial Killer in the past, Brubaker had not developed this background detail enough in previous chapters to deserve this payoff. I feel that perhaps this story would have been better served by being an issue longer. Brubaker has previously felt able to extend his stories if he needs to, Incognito went from 5 to 6 issues and I think Criminal: The Sinners was extended from 4 to 5. I feel he could have done the same with this one. But you never know, in the alternate world where this story is 5 issues, I'm probably complaining that it's too long.
So there are some problems here, but they aren't big ones, and these little niggles don't negate the surprise of Riley getting away with it.
But then I start to think... did Riley actually get away with it? Yes he's not in prison and he has money and a hot redhead girlfriend, but in the process of doing this he's sacrificed himself and his innocence. In one of the most heinous acts I've seen in a comic, he leaved a poisoned hot-shot for his best friend Freakout and killed him. He may be doing this to try and get back to how happy he was when he was a teenaged kid, but in doing so 3 of his friends from that time are now dead, Felix, Freakout and Teddy. This story was about more than just the crimes Riley commits in the here and now, it was about nostalgia, and how in reaching for your past you can only damage your present. Nostalgia can bedeadly, and in the world of Criminal, it literally is. Riley thought he could go back to his past and be happy, but he never can.
This was another great instalment of Criminal, and despite a few small plot problems, it had an impact on me and left me thinking about the nature of nostalgia and the nature of innocence long after I read it. This story was perhaps the most ambitious Criminal story so far, since it was about more than telling a great noir story, but exploring more theoretical and allegorical ideas, but whilst it's reach may have exceeded it's grasp, it was still excellent comics. There are few better. I suppose, just like Riley, Brubaker has gotten away with something he shouldn't.
Art - Sean Phillips and Ed Brubaker are just the perfect combination, each word and each image are perfectly intertwined. I love every page these two work on together, whether it's Criminal, Sleeper, Incognito or Powerpuff Girls (note, Bru and Phillips have not actually done a Powerpuff Girls comic, but if they did, it would probably be really good). The thing that of course set this arc apart was that Phillips used different styles for the flashback sequences, using a cleaner line and a style reminiscent of Archie comics, and it's really great to see the two styles meld together at the end. I'm not quite sure what Riley and Lizzie turning into their cartoony selves means, it's another thing I've been puzzling over. Phillips is simply one of the best, and I can't wait for his next project.
Best Line - 'So now I can be whoever I want'
by Eli Katz » Mon Sep 19, 2011 11:18 am
For Snyder, yeah, I'm a sellout.
by guitarsmashley » Tue Sep 20, 2011 11:41 pmSo I just finished this issue and I have no fucking clue what's really going on, but it was still a decent comic. I don't know if it's a disappointing end to a great run like some have suggested but it's still alright. I read some criminal a few years ago and it was still good but it was still no sleeper which will always be what I measure bru and philips to.
by fieldy snuts » Wed Sep 21, 2011 12:41 am
Season 2 or season 1?
I'd say Criminal falls in between those in terms of quality.
by guitarsmashley » Wed Sep 21, 2011 12:49 am
Of sleeper? it's all perfect.
by fieldy snuts » Wed Sep 21, 2011 1:05 am
Can't agree with that. Despite how good it was season 1 dragged on at times. He pacing of season 2 was a lot tighter.
by Punchy » Wed Sep 21, 2011 5:36 amArticle is up, overall score is 6.5
by Eli Katz » Wed Sep 21, 2011 6:37 pmWay lower than I expected. But it doesn't deserve higher.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The Opera Company of Philadelphia is getting a new name that officials say is in better harmony with the organization's move toward more innovative programming, public outreach and greater diversity in its repertoire.
The company announced Tuesday, in conjunction with the unveiling of the 2013-2014 season, it will now be known simply as Opera Philadelphia. The new name and logo will appear on all of its brochures and ads.
"The rebranding is not just an expression of Opera Philadelphia's future ambitions but the next step in a creative journey that began several years ago," said David Devan, the company's president and general director.
Opera Philadelphia plans to continue bringing free performances to new audiences in famous Philadelphia locations, both with surprise "flash mob" mini-concerts as well as a live outdoor simulcast.
As in the past, the opera's spontaneous "Random Acts of Culture" performances in 2013-2014 will be announced on Twitter shortly before they begin. And on Sept. 28, Verdi's "Nabucco" will be broadcast from the august Academy of Music live — and free — on a high-definition screen outdoors on Independence Mall.
Last year's "Random Acts of Culture" at popular downtown spots like Macy's and the Reading Terminal Market received widespread kudos and millions of views on YouTube, and 3,000 people gathered on Independence Hall's lawn last fall for a simulcast of "La Boheme."
"Nabucco," a Philadelphia Opera premiere, opens the 2013-2014 season and is followed by Mozart's classic "Don Giovanni" and "Ainadamar: An Opera in Three Images," the Grammy-winning first opera from Argentinian composer Osvaldo Golijov that tells the story of Spanish playwright Federico Garcia Lorca.
Rounding out the season in 2014 are the Curtis Opera Theater's new production of Francis Poulenc's "Dialogues of the Carmelites" and the East Coast premiere of Ricky Ian Gordon's "A Coffin in Egypt," a new commission and production in partnership with the Houston Grand Opera starring celebrated mezzo-soprano Frederica von Stade.
"We believe this season embraces this art form in its entirety, for the full enjoyment of our local, national and international audiences," said Corrado Rovaris, Opera Philadelphia's music director.
Opera Philadelphia said it has five new operas in development and aims to present challenging contemporary works along with more standard fare.
The company was formed through the 1975 merger of the Philadelphia Lyric Opera Company and the Philadelphia Grand Opera Company.

The Difference Between a Chromosome Abnormality and a Single Gene Defect
Evaluating a Child for Birth Defects
Genetic Services: When, Where, How
Identification, Treatment, and Prevention of Birth Defects
Medical genetics is the branch of medicine concerned with how hereditary and genetic factors play a role in causing a disease, birth defect, or inherited susceptibility to a health problem.
Everyone is at risk for being born with a birth defect. Most birth defects are not under our control, and they are not caused by an action or inaction on the parents' part either before or during the pregnancy.
The Human Genome Project began in 1990 with the goal of mapping the location of all of the genes on the chromosomes. This monumental achievement has given scientists the building blocks to determine how diseases are caused, how to possibly treat them and, ultimately, how to prevent them.
Research in medical genetics has given us information about the genetic mechanisms that can result in disease. Common examples of genetic conditions have been included but are not meant to be comprehensive. The goal is to understand how genetics affects the health of our children.

We all like to say how east coast media doesnt like us but I have been noticing more and more love from the Peter Kings and the Don Banks and others. It is just the writers who dont want to do any work who are not noticing what is happening in Seattle. Peter picks us to beat Miami 27 - 7 and had this to say:
"The Russell Wilson Magic Show hits South Florida for the first time. Quarterbacks with a lower rating than Wilson's 90.5: Philip Rivers, Eli Manning, Jay Cutler, Matthew Stafford, Tony Romo, Cam Newton, Joe Flacco, Sam Bradford. Pretty good value for the 75th pick in the draft, wouldn't you say?"

FishWisePro resource
Last updated about 2 years ago
FishWisePro is a comprehensive, fully relational fish database of over 100 000 scientific species name combinations and just over 34,000 fish pictures. It has been specifically developed for Academics, Students, Marine Biologists, Authors, Ichthyologists and all other serious users interested in Fish. This is probably the only fully relational Fish database with referential integrity. Records can be found or grouped using extremely powerful user defined filters. As an example, it is possible to find out that Jack Randall has been involved in describing 722 valid species as at March 2012. Of these, 711 are salt water species. We can also find that Helen, his wife, has been involved in describing 7 species. It is an absolute doddle to find out how many valid species are in a particular family etc. The kids can even find out the scientific name combinations of the Disney fish characters and see pictures of the actual fish. The pictures filters are very useful for identifying species and the user can even group pictures of 2, 3 or more species types to make comparisons easier. The data has primarily been based on the work of Bill Eschmeyer and his colleagues at the California Academy of Sciences in their work on the "Catalog of Fishes". Dennis Polack, the creator of FishwisePro has worked closely with Bill and his colleagues for more than 15 years. . There are over 80 tables, the numbr of records for some of which are shown below: CLASSES: 8 - ORDERS: 94 - FAMILIES: 617 - GENERA: 11 412 - SPECIES: 100 058 - . On Line editing of 77 tables is available to any user having the correct login rights. Last indexed April 25, 2013
