Get off your high horse...Why in gods name do you need
a GUI for a server? Firewall? Security appliance?
OpenBSD's goals are security and stability.
Bare that in mind the next time you open your mouth
or post something.
Let me start by saying that I've used OpenBSD for years and think that, for non X systems, it is one of best installs around.
That being said, I agree with the poster you're replying to. X is included as an option in the base install and thus I feel that they should include options to configure it in the install. If they're not going to configure it, remove it as an install option, and let people who want it add it later through ports.
What I'd like to see would be an option where you get the standar OpenBSD installer if you don't select do install an X server, but if you select to install the X server it will kick into a full X installer which will let you set it up. Including X in the base installer and then not configuring it is not a valid solution in my mind

Plan farm food safety at Learning Farm in Canton Saturday
CANTON -- A one-day class on writing a farm food safety plan runs from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Saturday, March 17 at the at the Cooperative Extension Learning Farm classroom on State Rt. 68 in Canton.
CCE and North Country Grown Cooperative present the workshop, a first step in implementing good agricultural practices (GAPs) on the farm.Food-borne illness is becoming increasingly common and outbreaks more deadly. New strains of food-borne pathogens are appearing.
It is not possible to eliminate all risk of contamination of fruits and vegetables, but it is possible to reduce that risk through GAPs. Insurance companies, wholesale buyers, consumers, the USDA and the FDA are pushing for adoption of GAPs on farms and in packing facilities.
The workshop will cover the basics of farm food safety and also get farmers well on their way to a written plan. The $10 registration fee covers a farm food safety book, a USB drive with templates, and other resources, as well as lunch.
Participants must bring maps of their farms (can be hand-drawn), a diagram of their packing sheds, and a laptop computer if they own or can borrow one; otherwise, bring a fresh notebook.
Pre-registration is required. Call CCE at 379-9192 or email [email protected].

David Latto left his little family in New Zealand - wife Janet, children James, Jennie, Mary and Addie - around 1888 for good. He settled in Australia, remarried and had another six children. He never came back and there is no record of his New Zealand children hearing from him again.
However, the villain in the picture seems to be Janet, who also eventually seems to have walked away from her children. In reality, things were probably pretty wretched, and not so straight forward for Janet Latto. There was no DPB in 1888, and women who were abandoned were left to care for their children themselves.
We were lead to understand that David's parents, James and Mary Latto took Jim and Jennie, the elder two children, to live on their farm in West Eyreton. They would have been aged about three and four years old - still very young to leave their mother's care. It must have been very hard work for their grandmother Mary, as well - she was around 66 years old. In fact, Mary died in 1888, and so it is more likely that David's brother, George, and his wife (again Mary) took care of the two elder children.
Meanwhile, we had always understood that little Mary and Addie were fostered out practically immediately and that Janet had disappeared. However, it is clear from the following newspaper report that Janet had tried her best to keep the children and work to support them. Given the outcome of the following, it is little wonder Janet made the decision to foster the children out - possibly believing it was the best thing for the girls in the circumstances. Pat believed that a couple in Ward Street fostered the two girls. He believed that the husband of the couple was a railway crossing guard. We tried to search directories when Pat was alive, but could never find a lead as to who those people might be. Both Pat's mother and Addie chose not to talk about their childhood. Possibly because it was a less than happy one.
The following report appeared in the Star newspaper on 15 April 1889:
Lizzie Parris was charged, on the information of Mrs Janet Latto, with assaulting her two little children, Mary and Adelaide, aged respectively three years and fifteen months. Mr Stringer appeared for the defence. The complainant's statement was that she was a married woman whose husband was away from home, and she put the children out to keep with a Mrs Graham, whose niece the accused was. Mrs Graham went out sewing, and Parris had charge of the children. They had been found not to be happy, and on March 18 Mrs Latto had taken them away and put them elsewhere. Margaret Ashton, a girl of about thirteen years, testified that the children had come to her mother's house to play with her. On returning home, witness saw accused put the children into the washhouse, and heard one of the children screaming. She could hear the child being slapped, and called a "dirty little pig." Mrs Graham also testified to the state the children were in on the 18th, when they were brought to her house. Dr McBean Stewart said he saw the children on March 19, when he found that they had been badly bruised, evidently with the hand and a stick. Some of the sores were fresh, but others bore indications of the children having been frequently beaten. Dr Patrick had also seen them, and gave corroborative evidence. he had never seen such cruelty to young children. Mrs Graham said that on the occasion referred to, the children had been at Mrs Ashton's, and when they returned home, one of them was very dirty, and the accused had taken her into the wash-house to stay there till they were ready to bathe her. For the defence, Mr Stringer called two female witnesses who had seen the children, and who stated that they had seen no cruelty of any kind. One who had a child of her own in the establishment testified to its being kept in a proper way. The accused, being examined, said no one had anything to do with the children but herself. She denied the evidence of Margaret Ashton entirely. Dr Stewart, recalled, said the bruises indicated having been inflicted some days previous to his seeing them, as some were older looking and becoming yellow, while others were fresh. The Bench dismissed the information.
Given the above, it's hard to be entirely critical of Janet. Perhaps, in leaving them in a permanent foster home she felt that she was doing them a favour, keeping them safe, or perhaps she simply couldn't cope. Any which way, it is sad to think that two little children, babies, were treated so cruelly.
There is no more of a paper trail for Janet until she had Constance Amy Latto in 1892. Then again no trace until she married Charles Herbert Beckett in 1896 in Wellington.

Noopur Chandra (HR professional)
Having associated with corporates for more than 6 yrs, I had absolutely no idea what to do when i had to leave job due to family responsibilities, it was then I discovered this course for Jolly phonics and Grammar and got touch with Komal through a common friend.She had recommended Komal very strongly so I pursued her for about a month and a half and finally got lucky to be a part of her training programme this July , it was great experience as having no background of it, Komal made it so easy to understand and I enjoyed my 3 days thoroughly. Her teaching skills are absolutely fantastic which are of course clubbed with lots of activities , tests and idea sharing, she also encourages the entrepreneurial skills in you and helps to pursue it by instilling right kind of confidence. In all it was a great experience and she is not only a good teacher but also a multitalented person to know. Thank you for everything..would be looking forward to more associations!!!
Ronika Singh (Pre-school Teacher of DPS Jamnagar)
Attending Komal Goenka's workshop was really a wonderful & excellent experience for the way she conducts it. Komal makes it very interactive & tries to update as much as she can about Jolly Phonics . She is not only a good trainer but a good human being by heart too. I will always look forward to more of such workshops in future .
Naresh Saigal ( Founder of Brightway, Spoken English Academy)
Learning Phonics with Jolly Phonics and under the supervision of Komal Goenka was like entering another dimension of the language, this workshop trains you to understand the importance of introducing phonics at a very young level, it is must for all teachers and parents to learn it as this workshop will help them teach something correct to their children.
Dr. Shazia Nahri (Principal of Queen's School and ITDC)
We at Queen's School and ITDC had held a workshop on Jolly phonics in July. The trainer was Ms Komal Goenka. We had come across her name by chance on the Jolly phonics website, but we are so delighted to have called her as a trainer. All staff members were v. satisfied with the content and delivery of the training. The program in itself is v well structured and we are sure it will be v helpful for our students. Ms Goenka went out of the way for ordering teaching material from Jolly phonics at a v reasonable price. We all enjoyed the two days we spent with her.
Dhanya Menon
Jolly Phonics teachers training workshop was conducted at our school in the first and mid week of June for Pre-primary and Primary teachers by Komal Goenka who is a certified Jolly Phonics instructor/trainer for India Region. The workshop was conducted for 60 teachers all together in two different locations using drama and storytelling as a tool to train teachers to take up this curriculum in the most effective way with their children. The teachers learnt the 5 basic skills of jolly phonics by using the multi sensory approach which was encouraging for them to use with their young learners. Technique of blending the sounds and cracking the code to make new words was a learning experience which they will surely try to implement it in their respective classes. Mrs.Goenka imparted the essentials of jolly phonics which teachers found it to be of great importance and were highly influenced by her treaching technique.Teachers were excited and felt confident which was clearly evident from their feedback forms. We will surely look forward for more such trainings in future under her expertise.
Rakshita Dwivedi (Mother)
For a working mom managing everything along with a little guilt is never easy. I have had my share of struggles with my son's reading, who had an inclination towards books and stories but no patience to read them actually. That's when Komal turned out to be the angel with a phonics wand :) This is his second year and he has shown tremendous progress in his reading and also blending the letters and spelling it out correctly. All this , without me doing much as Komal takes care of that too. She is definitely a teacher who knows how to get it from the kids. At the end you know your child is in hands of a qualified person who definitely knows more than you do. I wish Komal and her Jolly Phonics program more success in coming times.
Sowmya (Mother)
Aashrey joined Jolly phonics at age of 2.5years. He was your first student. He enjoys phonics class a lot. Your teaching method is very nice as he can remember everything being taught in your phonic classes.

Jolly phonic is a place where my daughter has improved in English and Grammar .... I am really happy that now my daughter can read a sentence and blend word... she is always excited to go for her phonic class.....

The role of a true ace to a baseball team is more than one told by numbers. It is a role that lives in the unstable, endlessly elastic state of a 162-game Major League Baseball regular season. It feeds on momentum.
Felix Hernandez, the Mariners unquestioned ace, took the mound Saturday evening against the Texas Rangers with the task of reversing the errant momentum of a 4-game losing streak. It is a position that Hernandez (2-0, 2.37 ERA) has more experience with than he or his manager care to admit. It's one he now thrives in.
Hernandez turned in another brilliant effort in front of 43,017 fans at Safeco Field, rising to the occasion once again. He worked seven innings, allowing one earned run on two hits, two hit batters and one walk. Hernandez struck out 12 while notching his first win over Texas in the 3-1 Mariners victory since 2012.
Perhaps, most importantly his teammates feel it. They sense the chance to start anew every fifth day when Hernandez stands atop the mound.
"Definitely the stopper," Mariners shortstop Brad Miller said. "Anytime he's out there you feel that you're going to win one . . . When he gets out there you know your fortunes can change pretty quick."
Hernandez was pitching on a full five days' rest for the second consecutive start thanks to another mid-week off day. In his previous outing, Hernandez wasn't quite himself. Oakland roughed him up for three runs on eight hits and a walk in five innings. Hernandez battled a tight right quadriceps and a sore ankle. It wasn't his day.
As the Rangers found out Saturday, that is not often the case for consecutive starts.
"He was great considering he was coming off an injury," Seattle manager Lloyd McClendon said. "He really battled and he battled me to stay in the game. But just a gutsy performance."
After an 18-pitch first inning in which Hernandez yielded a leadoff double to Leonys Martin that escaped a lunging Logan Morrison, The King slowly began to find the command of his offspeed arsenal. He began to spot his curveball and slider for strikes down at the knees or on the outside edge of the plate to frustrate his opposition.
In the fifth inning, after his team gave him a 1-0 lead, Hernandez ran into his only trouble of the game. With one out, Jake Smolinski checked his swing on an 0-2 fastball up and in, then cried out in pain as if the ball glanced off his top hand. The home-plate umpire believed him, awarding him first base even though all indications other than the acting of Smolinski showed a foul ball off the handle.
As expected, the baserunner came back to hurt the Mariners. Martin collected his second hit of the game, a single to the right side, pushing Smolinski over to third. Elvis Andrus followed with a ground out to score Smolinski, tying the game 1-1.
On the first pitch of the bottom half of the inning, Hernandez's battery mate Mike Zunino flipped the momentum back in favor of Seattle. Zunino drove a hanging slider from Texas starter Colby Lewis into the upper deck of the left-field bleachers for his first home run of the year and a 2-1 M's lead. It was the response Hernandez needed. The right-hander cruised to his second victory while stretching his pitch count to 111.
At 98 pitches after a successful 1-2-3 sixth, Hernandez took the mound in the seventh and promptly struck out the side, notching strikeouts 10, 11 and 12, on 13 pitches. Danny Farquhar and Fernando Rodney worked 1-2-3 innings in the eighth and ninth to hand Seattle its first win in eight night contests in the 2015 season.
The seventh inning was not guaranteed to Hernandez. McClendon had both left-handed reliever Charlie Furbush and the right-handed Farquhar up the previous inning if any trouble were to mount. The bottom of the sixth was also a long half-inning as Texas made a pitching change and Seattle loaded the bases while increasing its lead to 3-1.
"I was more concerned with the quad because he had felt two or three times during the course of the game with a couple fake bunts and trying to get over to first (base)," McClendon said.
Hernandez actually thought the minor injury helped him Saturday.
"(My) comfort level was fine. I think (the quad) helped me to stay back a little bit more, not to push too much, not to jump too much," Hernandez said.
McClendon was concerned about the quad which may have tightened on Felix after a first-inning bunt attempt by Andrus. Hernandez, though, was adamant that he could pitch another inning. What did he tell his manager to persuade him for one more inning?
"I told him, 'We need this win, so let me go back out,'" said Hernandez.
Hard to argue with the man who can alter the team's momentum with one outing.

Cheerleading is actually a very dangerous activity if not done properly. Just as a footaball player can get a concussion on the field, a cheerleader can fall from the top of a pyramid, or get hurt just by simply falling incorrectly from a jump. If cheerleading is not a sport, than neither is gymnastics or acrobatics.
Dance is considered a sport in a way, and cheerleading is exactly the same. You have to learn routines, you have to be agile and certainly not everyone can do it.
People say that it is only for 'bimbos' and 'dumb blondes' but a lot of people cannot dance at all and a lot of cheerleading requires a lot of training and some knowledge of gymnastics.
To excel in this activity, a person must be physically fit and have considerable endurance. Many of those who participate in this sport, spend as much if not more time working out, then the team players they often cheer for. Anyone who has ever participated or watched cheer competitions at any level, knows that this is a sport or athletic activity.
Cheerleading may have emerged as a promotion for other sports players, but today, it is no different than synchronized swimming or marching band in terms of athletics. If you've seen professional cheerleaders, you'll see that what they do is not just chant rhymes or wave pom-pons. They are serious dancers and gymnasts. They deserve as much dignity and respect as any other kind of performer.
A sport is something that requires physical activity and competition. There is this thing called "Allstar Cheerleading" and it is competitive, in fact, they go all the way to WORLD competitions! Cheerleading has an element of gymnastics, with all the flips and handsprings that they do. Also, cheerleaders do stunting, which involves throwing people up into the air! That requires lots of skill.
Cheer is just like other accepted sports - for example, having practices that are hours long, representing schools at competitive events, and risking injury are all characteristics typical of cheer that make it a sport. It requires the exact amount of dedication of drive to be a cheerleader as it does to be, say, a basketball or football player. Obviously, cheerleading is a sport!
Cheerleading is an intense physical activity in which involves many dangerous stunts. Cheerleaders are often expected to work out at practice (i.E. Running, etc.) 3-4 times a week to stay in best physical condition before weekly games. Also, many people consider bowling and golfing to be a sport (when a person in a wheelchair can do such things), so why not consider cheerleading being one?
Cheer should be consider a sport and here are the reasons why. . .
If you look up on the internet what makes a sport a sport you will notice that cheer meets every requirement. Cheerleaders Exercise, Compete at competitions, And they require strength when it comes to lifting girls into the air. Not to mention they have a whole other life in their hands. Cheer is considered one of the most leading injury sports according to the America Medical Association. Including concussions, Broken bones, And often fatal injuries.
Cheerleaders, Along with dancers and figure skaters, Are some of the hardest working athletes out there! Cheer takes SO LONG TO PERFECT. Not to mention that everyone else like football players and baseball players just play some dumb sport and throw a ball around! My god. People, Listen up. Cheer IS a sport.
No I do think ALL types of cheerleaders work hard but in my opinion school, high school (non competitive), and side line cheer shouldn't count as a sport and let me tell you why. Now I'm not saying if your in one of these types of cheer you are not an athlete because the amount of stress and work your body goes through to learn and perfect your skills definitely makes you an athlete but those types of cheer are not a sport because you are not competing therefore competition and especially All star cheer is a sport now I've cheered for almost eleven years now (I'm fourteen) and I've done every type of cheer except school cheer because I don't wanna be a sport helper no offense if you are I just like to be pushed I am currently in an All Star gym and I can tell you this is the hardest I've worked that's been the most worth it so yes cheer is a sport if you compete and work on skill a
You only cheer for other team. You put on makeup ,you do not get points and there are no rule. If cheer leading is a sport then football teams and other sport teams should NOT have cheer leaders.I will agree that it involves physical activity, but that alone does not make it a sport. I agree they work hard but how hard is it to jump and scream not very hard
Cheerleading is not a sport. There is no competition. No talent. Skimpy outfits. Waste of time. Just another excuse to let your daughters parade around in skimpy short tight fitting spandex. Exposing her to the world to be stared at by perverted. So you who say yes need to become responsible parents.
No not a sport no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no
The verb to sport meant to have fun at first. Following this definition, anything that is fun would be considered "sport". However, by modern standards I do not believe that cheerleading should be considered a sport. I will agree that it involves physical activity, but that alone does not make it a sport. Games such as "tag" or "capture the flag" involve physical activity. Also, all sports have a certain goal in mind to achieve victory. The only point of cheerleading is to do flips and cheer, which is not a real goal in my opinion.
At best it is a niche sport. But certainly won't ever be any kind of mainstream sport.
Also, there is a reason that women have their own division in every popular sport they compete in... The vast majority of Men are simply bigger, stronger, and faster than their female counterparts.
I know their is such a thing as competitive cheer leading. So really it should be considered a sport, I just don't like the fact that most people do consider it a sport. If cheer leading is a sport then football teams and other sport teams should NOT have cheer leaders. People are their to watch the other more interesting sport not see you scream and jump around.
Cheerleading does involve physical activity, but can it really be compared to sports such as water polo or rugby? It should not be put in the same catagory as these sports that have an actual objective, whereas cheerleading does not. Sad to say it, but their routines are almost equivalent to that of a strippers when they are not doing stunts. I can shake my butt too, but I don't go around calling it a sport. I play water polo and I can definitely say that my practices are 100 times harder than theirs and I am not worried about looking cute during one of my games.
Because cheerleading is not always competitive but all other sports actually are competitive. If cheerleading were a sport, less people would do it because the only reason people do it is because its not competitive. It takes different physical needs that are not exactly competitive "skills". Not everyone knows how to play basketball naturly but it doesn't take much to be able to do a split.
Depending on the type of cheer . I agree they work hard but how hard is it to jump and scream not very hard . I admit that competitive cheer is hard , but if it was a sport , how come the government said it wasn't. Cheer leading overall isn't a sport but id say competitive cheer has the possibility to become a sport
Just because something is dangerous doesn't make it a sport. And just because you are working hard at something makes it a sport. It doesn't take skill, Just a pretty face and a willingness to yell and make a fool of yourself. Its a sad excuse for getting girls to wear short skirts and show off their bodies.

Research in Motion (RIM), which manufactures BlackBerry products, has explained the Bold 9900 and Curve 9360 smartphones now have access to PayPass.
The system, which has been designed by MasterCard, allows people with the correct technology to make contactless payments in stores.
"Near field communication technology is making smartphones even smarter and the MasterCard certification is a significant step forward in helping transform the way we use mobile devices for payments," stated Andrew Bocking, vice-president of handheld software product management at RIM.
France Telecom – Orange has suggested it believes the technology has the potential to revolutionise the mobile market.
RIM recently said one of the major reasons to invest in a BlackBerry device is the vast range of high-quality apps the brand offers.
