HOWTO : Share files and folders between Computers
This HOWTO should allow you to share files between puppy and other computers (Pupy, windows, linux, etc).
They are focussed on Puppy to Windows but they can easily be extrapolated for Puppy to other OS's
This HOWTO has two parts:
- The firsts part is sharing a windows folder and letting Puppy see it
- The second part is sharing a puppy folder and letting windows see it.
I will separate then into two individual posts as to simplify references.
Although there seem to be many steps, it's actually quite simple, I just wanted to go step by step good enough for a new user.
I will copy the contents to these HOWTOs to the wikki once I'm done for easy reference.

How to let puppy use a windows share
In Windows share a folder/drive following
these Microsoft instructions
In Puppy there are two ways. The LinNeighborhood and the command line.
- The LinNeighborhood is a graphic tool so some people will find it more attractive.
- The command line may be intimidating but it's easier to use once you know the command and allows you to connect to the shared folder when you start puppy.
1. From the start menu select "Network | LinNeighborhood Samba client"
2. Click the "Add" button.
3. Leave Machine and Group empty
4. on IP address type the IP address of your Windows computer.
5. Click the "query" button.
6. You should receive the message "query host... done". If not, check that the IP address is correct and that your network is working OK and repeat step 5.
7. Click OK. The Windows computer should appear on the main window list.
8. Right click on the computer name/address and select "scan as user"
9. Leave domain empty, username as root and password empty. You should see the list of shares on the main window list
10. Right click in the share you want to use and click "mount"
12. Set the parameters for the mount or accept the defaults. The "mount point" is the puppy folder under which you will see the contents of the shared folder. (write down that path so you remember where it's mounted)
13. Click "Mount". Rox should open on that folder
Command Line
While it's quite easy to do it in LinNeighborhood, there is no way to save your connections so you can connect automatically the next time you start Puppy. For that, the command line comes to the rescue.
1. Open the rxvt console terminal. "start | run | rxvt"
2. Use the following command to mount the shared folder:
smbmount //<serveraddress>/<sharedfolder> <mountpoint> username=<username> password=<password>
are your username and password in the windows computer. If you don't have a password then don't put this parameters and when prompted for a password just press enter.
is the IP address of your server
is the name of the shared folder
is the folder where you will see the contents of
. The
folder must exist and be empty.
For example in my home network
my windows computer address is 192.168.1.99.
I share a folder with a very creative name of "shared"
I want to see the contents of that folder under /mnt/windows2
The command I use is the following:
smbmount //192.168.1.99/shared /mnt/windows2
Please bear in mind that this only works consistently if your windows XP computer is using static IP. If you use dynamic IP you are not guaranteed to always get the same IP address.
3. If you want to connect to the same share everytime you startup puppy, do the following:
Set the Windows computer to use static IP, if you don't, this step may not work consistently.
Open /etc/rc.d/rc.local in a text editor. This file get's executed everytime you start puppy.
Add the smbmount command you did on the previous step to the end of the file.
Save the file.

How to let Windows see a puppy folder
In most linux distributions you would do that using a NFS (Network file system) share or a SAMBA share. Puppy does not provide those services but that does not mean that everything is lost, you can use FTP and you will barelly notice the diference from windows.
Puppy includes a simple FTP server called BeteFTP: " start | Network | BetaFTPD FTP server".
The default allows users to see the contens of a folder under /root/ftp and no more. What do you do to allow sharing a different folder, even sharing the full puppy filesystem? Here are the steps:
In Puppy:
1. Create the folder you want to share. If it is an existing folder such as / or /root , skip this step. You can create a new folder in rox or with the mkdir command.
2. Add a new user with the "adduser" command. This will be the user that you will use to see your shared folder. The adduser command will ask you for a password, you MUST enter a valid password.

BusyBox adduser is broken in Puppy 3.
Download TinyLogin using PetGet and try adding tinylogin at the begining of each command e.g.
tinylogin adduser -h /root localuser
Here are some examples:
To add a user called "localuser" that will share /root and that you cannot use to login to puppy, write the following command:
adduser -h /root localuser
To add a user called "mp3shares" that will share /root/my-music:
adduser -h /root/my-music mp3shares
To add a user called "top" that will share the top folder / :
adduser -h / top
You can add as many users as you want each one sharing different folders. (e.g. One for your wife, one for you and one for each of your children)
3. Now start the FTP server. From the start menu select "Network | BetaFTPD FTP server"
5. Click on the "start FTP server"
From Windows:
1. Open windows explorer
2. Make sure that it shows the address bar. If it is not showing, you can right click in any tool bar and select the address bar from the pop-up menu.
3. In the address bar enter the following address ( replace <puppyIPaddress> with the actual Ip address of your puppy computer):
and press ENTER.
4. Enter the user name and password for one of the users that you created in puppy. and click OK.
DONE! as easy as that.
If you want to learn more, click the "Help" button of the BetaFTPD window.
If you want to start the FTP server every time you start puppy, add the "betaftpd" command to the
file using a text editor such as leafpad:
leafpad /etc/rc.d/rc.local

if i wanted to copy files from Puppy, i would click
files and folders (and symlinks) in
will now be available on your network and on the internet
pic: http://tinypic.com/dlm9n7.jpg
i find this easier than setting up file sharing
you may have to open a port in your firewall, or shut it down
there's a roxapp that starts/stops the httpd server with the click of a button on my

if i wanted to copy files from a Windows box to Puppy, i would probably run something like HFS
1 file, about 400k, doesn't need installing or uninstalling ... works about the same as httpd

2. Add a new user with the "adduser" command.
Here are some examples:
adduser -h /root -r /usr/bin/deny_sh localuser
Am I supposed to do this in the console window? When I do this, this is what I get back:
# adduser -h /root -r /usr/bin/deny_sh localuser
adduser: invalid option -- r
Tinylogin v1.4 (2005.08.02-19:41+0000) multi-call binary

Oh, sorry, I wasn't using tinylogin but the full bash when I wrote that example. That command is only an example.
To add the user just type in the console
adduser -h /root localuser

I have on more question: How to remove a user? I've tried the obvious commands like deluser, but that doesn't work. I get the message "deluser: sildan: User could not be removed from /etc/passwd"
And the user is definately not deleted. When I try to add the same user again, I get the message "adduser: sildan: login already in use"
Where are the users stored? And howto finally remove them?

That's strange, in my computer the user gets deleted with deluser.
I also get the error of not being able to delete it from gshadow but that's not a real error if it was never added there.
To make sure that it's completelly removed, after deluser, also check the following files
Please note that in some files you will see the user number instead of the user name.

rarsa: I tried to mount a Win. share name S, no luck, you say to use smbmount, I get a usage report saying to use: mount - t smbfs //192.168.0.102/S /mnt/data
And it returns: invalid argument, I have an IP display on the Win box so that's right, & the share panel-share name is: S
I'm not sure what the invalid argument is, & why doesn't smbmount command work?
I did all of this awhile back & it was never resolved, hope I have better luck this time.

John Murga's 128 Special 1.0.5, but I've had the trouble with others.
128spec. is only Puppy that LANboots, need to mount HOME, & eventually /usr on a Win share.
LinNeighborhood does it, but it probably uses it's own mount command.
The PuppyWiki says: if you add SHELL=/bin/bash to /etc/profile, rxvt and aterm will run bash automatically.
Wiki says Puppy uses ash, could it be it's mount command is abridged & neutered?
ADDENDUM: I tried it & same error, the SHELL= command didn't have errors so I assume it worked, no change though.
I found smbmount in /usr/sbin & used the full path to it & still got: use mount -t smbfs instead.
So I cd /usr/sbin & the smbmount worked, error: session request to //192.168.0.102 failed ( Called name not present).

When I wrote this howto I was using 1.0.5 but I've just tried using 1.0.6 and it works ok.
I haven't used murga's version. You may want to ask him if he included that command in his version.

A wage increase for the Chinese factory workers producing the high-tech gadgets that drive Americans wild will make those same devices a little pricier, according to reports.
But could it also spell jobs for American workers, as companies seek cheaper-than-China locales to have their digital geegaws manufactured?
Some 21 of China's 31 provinces bumped up the minimum wage, meaning employees at Foxconn Corporation's factories -- where most of Apple's products are made, but where much, much more than iPhones and iPads are made as well -- now earn about $400 a month, according to the San Jose Mercury News. That's still far less than the $2,200 a month an American worker making the pricey devices can make, but enough to get companies to rethink their game plans, according to the newspaper.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
The price of imports from China increased 3.6 percent in 2011, according to the newspaper. Experts said this trend is for the long term and "will continue," according to the newspaper.
Companies like Apple, which have a high profit margin on their products, can afford to absorb the cost without passing it onto their customers, experts said. But will they? What would Steve have done?

I don't use that concept at all, and I think the logic and methodology for it is spurious.The basic feature of the geomagnetic field is that it isn't parallel to the ground, as you wouldthink when you have a magnetic compass sitting on a map on a table.It is a vector field shooting down into the ground at a diagonal angle, which is more or lessconstant over short distances and which you can easily find out what it is for your region.The 3-axis magnetometer is going to give you a vector in 3D which is going to show you thedirection of that field. Since you already know the direction of the field, you can determinethe orientation of the magnetometer, with the exception of rotation about the vector direction.If you also have an accelerometer, and you assume your device is stationary or moving at a constantvelocity ( so it has no actual acceleration ), you can fully determine the orientation of your device.

So, how i can solve tilt compensation for yaw Axis?
I am not even sure what you think this sentence means.A magnetic device is going to clarify the orientation of your device in relation to rotating aroundthe yaw axis. It's nothing to do with tilting the yaw axis.
If you literally intend to use it as a compass ( for orienteering or something ), then you need to "compensate" for the fact that you are not holding your compass flat, steady, and parallel to the ground.If you intend to use it as an aid to orientation calculation for some moving device, that's a rather different question. The best method comes down to what sort of device you are trying to orient ( a car ? a robot on the ground ? a copter ? An acrobatic aircraft ? ), and what other devices you are using it with.
And the problem is the magnetometer need to be held flat to function properly. If we tilt it (pitch or roll) to certain angle (for example to 45 degrees) the reading will be more inaccurate the further the compass is tilted. So I need to keep the accuracy of magnetometer even we tilt it.
The direction of the magnetism is flat at the equator, and pointing down at the poles.http://geokov.com/education/magnetic-declination-inclination.aspxhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_dipThis site tells how much the inclination is, http://magnetic-declination.com/ (if you type your location, click on the location marker).This site tells even more, http://www.geomag.bgs.ac.uk/data_service/models_compass/wmm_calc.html (click on the map to place the marker).
Thats not really correct. That is spurious wooly thinking which comes from the days of 2-axis magnetometers, maybe. A 3-axis magnetometer DOES NOT need to be held flat to function properly. It is always going to correctly show you the direction of the geomagnetic field ( or any other magnetic field which is present ), relative to its own current orientation. Apart from scaling and offset calibration for the different axial directions ( which will be an issue whether you are holding it flat and level, or not ), the assertion that the reading will be more inaccurate the further the compass is tilted, is simply not correct.If you know the orientation of the device, you can always determine the projection of the magnetic field vector into a plane parallel to the ground. If you don't know the orientation of the device, you can compare the measured magnetic field vector to the expected magnetic field vector in your region, to determine the correct which needs to be made to the modelled orientation of the device.
Yeah, quaternions are the way to go.The problem starts, when you assume that you can calculate the direction of the magnetic field simply by taking the arctan of the Y axis and X ais readings of the magnetometer. That assumption is misguided. And once you have made that assumption, you have all kinds of work-arounds to "compensate" for the fact that you have made a poor assumption.If you assume that your vehicle has very small actual real acceleration, then you can estimate the orientation of your device by observing the apparent direction of the gravitational "down" direction using your accelerometer.You can then estimate the rotation matrix which transforms the actual orientation of your device into a reference frame which is parallel to the ground. You can then transform the apparent magnetic field vector into the reference frame. You can compare that to the assumed actual magnetic field vector, to estimate the discrepancy between the reference direction in the horizontal direction of your calculated reference frame, and the actual "true" reference horizontal direction of the reference frame.This is conceptually quite simple. Further complications emerge because different people use different conventions for which way the reference axes run.

Student crowns achievements with service, on campus and in children's lives
Student crowns achievements with service, on campus and in children's lives
Rhonda Bates is one busy student. She's a resident assistant in Pollock Halls, president of Student Minority Advisory and Recruitment Team and an advocate for child sexual abuse intervention. More than 107,000 football fans and a screaming student section might know her best, though, as the 2013 Penn State Homecoming Queen.
Throughout her Penn State career, Bates has been involved in numerous organizations, including the Penn State Student Black Caucus, the 2014 Martin Luther King Jr. Commemoration Executive Committee, a peer mentoring program called Penn State BLUEprint and the Human Development and Family Studies Undergraduate Student Organization, in addition to her duties as a residence assistant and as a student organization president.
As the fourth African-American woman to hold the title of Penn State's Homecoming Queen, Bates says it means more than having a crown, sash and title.
SMART decision
In her role as Student Minority Advisory and Recruitment Team (SMART) president, Bates oversees the executive board, facilitates project development and provides morale for the general membership, known as "smarties."
When she's not giving SMART tours on campus for prospective students, Bates coordinates SMART's Spend a Fall Day and Achievers Weekend, two multi-day opportunities for prospective students to get a real look at "what it means to be a Penn Stater," Bates said. Students fly in from all corners of the United States to interact with SMART members.
It's especially rewarding when current students tell Bates that they made their decision to come to Penn State because of their positive experience with SMART.
"I love SMART. They're awesome," Bates said.
"There are people making a difference at Penn State who don't have the big titles. I'm not a part of THON. I'm not a part of Panhellenic Council. I'm not a part of student government. But I'm here, and I'm giving a contribution to the community in some way. I'm representing the diversity here at Penn State."
— Rhonda Bates, senior, human development and family studies
Though she is very busy, Bates does not seem to mind.
"I'm very passionate about giving back to the Penn State community," she said. "This is my contribution to the University."
A surprise honor
Somewhere in between her activities this fall, she found herself in the HUB being surprised with a bouquet of balloons and learning that she was a candidate for Homecoming Queen. Throughout the weeks leading up to Homecoming, Bates, a senior majoring in human development and family studies, enjoyed meeting fellow students on the court and attending events throughout the week of Homecoming leading up to Saturday's football game.
When it came time to stand on the field in Beaver Stadium, nothing could prepare her for the result.
"It took me like an hour to process the fact that I won after they announced it on the field," Bates said. "I'm like, 'Is this real? Is this happening?' "
It was so surreal, in fact, that Bates' friend had to keep telling her she won.
"I couldn't wrap my mind around it at the time, and people are saying, 'Congrats,' and I'm thinking, 'What am I saying thank you for?' And then I look down and see my sashes," she said.
As the fourth African-American woman to hold the title of Penn State's Homecoming Queen, Bates says it means more than having a crown, sash and title.
"It was so humbling. When I look at [my sashes and crown, I realize] I'm influencing more people than I know," Bates said, explaining that she doesn't know many of the people who voted for her.
"There are people making a difference at Penn State who don't have the big titles. I'm not a part of THON. I'm not a part of Panhellenic Council. I'm not a part of student government," Bates said. "But I'm here, and I'm giving a contribution to the community in some way. I'm representing the diversity here at Penn State."
Serving others after college
Though Bates has made the most of her time at Penn State, she is looking to the future. Bates found her calling during an unthinkable family time. She said her cousin was sexually assaulted, and Bates was the only person she felt comfortable talking to about the incident.
"It was my epiphany," Bates said. "This is what I was supposed to do in life."
Since then, she has worked at a summer camp for at-risk children, affirming her passion for helping people.
"I've seen them change from this happy child to this child that has taken on so much responsibility in life, and they're only kids," Bates said.
During this past summer, Bates interned at the Philadelphia Children's Alliance, an organization dedicated to providing justice and healing for children who have been sexually abused.
"It was the best experience ever working with these kids who were allegedly sexually abused, and I'm just like, 'This could be prevented,' " Bates said.
That experience was the first professional step on the road to her ultimate goal: to become an advocate for children of sexual abuse or extreme maltreatment and to create an intervention and prevention program to educate inner-city families about sexual abuse.
The next step, however, is to take a year off from school to search for a master's degree program that fits Bates' personal and professional needs. Because she wants to develop her own program, Bates wants to find a university that will support her vision so that she can conduct her own research to benefit her intervention program.
"That's always been my drive: to help people through the negative in their life and take it and make them stronger and move forward," Bates said.

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. -- Bill O'Brien has informed Penn State that he is leaving Penn State to become the head coach of the National Football League's Houston Texans.
A national search will begin immediately to select Penn State's 16th head football coach, according to Dave Joyner, director of athletics. Joyner said long-time defensive line coach Larry Johnson will serve as interim head coach while the search is underway.
"We need to do everything we can to support the needs of our student-athletes during this period," Joyner said. "I am very confident in Larry Johnson, the coaches and staff in maintaining continuity and working with the returning players and recruits."
"We intend to move quickly in our search to identify the next great Penn State football coach," Joyner added.
"I'm humbled by the confidence that Penn State has bestowed upon me during this critical time for the football program and honored to do my part to help Penn State," Johnson said. "My job will be made very easy since we have a team comprised of tremendous student-athletes, coaches, trainers and support staff who are second to none and care as much about Penn State as I do. This program has a historic past and very bright future and I look forward to continuing to work with the players, staff and our incoming recruiting class to uphold the tremendous traditions, ideals and principles that make Penn State the best University in the nation and the football program the most successful on and off the field."
Joyner announced membership of the search committee that has been formed to find Penn State's next head football coach. In addition to Joyner, who will chair the committee, members are Linda Caldwell, faculty athletics representative and distinguished professor; Charmelle Green, associate athletic director and senior woman administrator; Tom Poole, vice president for administration; Wally Richardson, director of the Penn State Football Letterman's Club; and Bob Warming, head coach of the Penn State men's soccer team.
O'Brien led Penn State to marks of 8-4 and 7-5 during his two years as the Nittany Lions' head coach. In 2013, he helped develop three first-team All-Big Ten honorees -- defensive tackle DaQuan Jones, wide receiver Allen Robinson and guard John Urschel. In addition, Robinson was selected a first-team All-American, as well as the Big Ten Richter-Howard Receiver of the Year for the second consecutive year. Quarterback Christian Hackenberg was named Big Ten Freshman of the Year, giving Penn State the conference's last two freshman honorees.
During the 2012 season, O'Brien was selected the Bear Bryant, Maxwell Football Club and ESPN National Coach of the Year and the Big Ten-Dave McClain Coach of the Year and Hayes-Schembechler Coach of the Year. O'Brien's eight wins were the most by a first-year Penn State coach in the history of the program, which began in 1887.
O'Brien came to Penn State after five years on the New England Patriots' coaching staff, serving as the quarterbacks coach from 2009-11 and as offensive coordinator in 2011, helping the Patriots to the AFC Championship and a berth in Super Bowl XLVI. O'Brien began his coaching career at his alma mater, Brown University, in 1993-94. He then coached at Georgia Tech (1995-2002), Maryland (2003-04) and Duke (2005-06) before joining the New England staff.
The Nittany Lions return 16 starters for the 2014 season (eight offense, seven defense, one specialist), which begins Aug. 30 vs. No. 15 UCF in the Croke Park Classic in Dublin, Ireland.

External risk factors for the Mexican steel industry remain the volatility of the currency exchange rate and the impact of international metals prices.
- In 2015 Mexico´s domestic steel production decreased 3.7%, to 18.2 million tonnes, the lowest amount in six years. Domestic production capacity decreased from 65.7% to 62.5% due to the suspension of activity in certain steel plants, as low-priced Chinese steel imports increased. Total steel imports rose by more than 10%, accounting for 47% of apparent national steel consumption. Mexico´s apparent steel consumption increased 6.6% in 2015.
- On average, payments in the Mexican steel and metals industry take 90 to 120 days. Payment delays have increased over the last 12 months due to steel price volatility and slower economic growth. That said insolvencies have remained stable, and no increase is expected in the coming months. The level of protracted payments, however, is expected to remain high.
- External risk factors for the Mexican steel industry remain the volatility of the currency exchange rate as well as international metals prices, together with uncertainty concerning China's economic performance and oil price developments. International competitiveness of the Mexican steel industry is hampered by the subdued quality of infrastructure, informality that prevails in the recycling industry and energy costs.
- As in previous years our underwriting stance remains cautious, especially due to potential exchange rate and steel price volatility. In order to accurately assess a credit limit application in this sector, we currently ask for audited financial statements for the year 2015 and management accounts for 2016. If audited financials are not yet available, we could consider year-end 2015 and 2016 management accounts signed by a company director, together with the most current interim financial information. Some underwriting cases can be supported by trading experience and/or guarantees or promissory notes (pagarés).

80501 Mk1 BG (later NDV Newspaper Delivery Vehicle)
The Brake Gangwayed or BG coach (also known as a Full Brake) is a type of British Railways Mark 1 passenger brake van. It has a guard's compartment in the centre and two large areas either side for storing luggage. They were a very versatile type of coach and could be found all over the former British Railways network and some are still in use today - although not in conventional use. The Mark 1 BG was shorter than most other types of Mark 1 coach the BGs being 57 feet (17.37 m) whereas most other designs were 63 feet (19.20 m). This was so the BG could go everywhere unlike their other Mark 1 counterparts which were banned from some station platforms because of their length.

Even if you never watched "Welcome Back, Kotter" during its mid-1970s hey-day or in three-plus decades of syndication, you knew Arnold Horshack.
He was the high school oddball with the screechy voice, the one with his hand thrust and bobbing in the air, yelling "Ooh! Ooh! Ooh!" to get the teacher's attention – only to crack wise when called upon. There was a Horshack in every classroom – and, eventually, on a fair number of TV shows, thanks to talented comic actor Ron Palillo, who died Tuesday at age 63. His charmingly annoying class-clown character became the sitcom forerunner to the much-smarter Urkel and Horshack's super-grating "Saved by the Bell" bastard son, Screech.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
Arnold Horshack emerged as a TV archetype and memorable character in his own right via Palillo, who shined playing a misfit who fit in perfectly with his fellow loser Sweathogs on a popular show that was much more than just John Travolta's launching pad to fame.
For the uninitiated, "Welcome Back, Kotter" starred comedian Gabe Kaplan as a teacher who returns to his old, tough Brooklyn high school on a kind of Groucho Marx-meets-"Blackboard Jungle" mission to help remedial cases on the verge of expulsion. A former Sweathog himself, Kaplan's Kotter wielded Borsht Belt humor as tool for teaching history and life lessons.
Travolta played Vinnie Barbarino, the seemingly dull-witted stud of James Buchanan High whose favorite insult, "Up your nose with a rubber hose," became a national catchphrase (you had to be there). Lawrence Hilton-Jacobs portrayed the smooth, too-cool-for-school Freddie "Boom-Boom" Washington, who was armed with a Barry White-deep voice that greeted all comers with his own catchphrase, "Hi there."
Robert Hegyes played Juan Epstein, the Chico Marx wannabe with endless excuses, via notes from home signed, "Epstein's Mother." Palillo's Horshack, with his curly hair and vagabond attire, looked like Harpo Marx – except that he almost never stopped talking, endlessly introducing himself in a nasally, old-school Brooklynese. "Hello. How are ya? I'm Arnold Horshack," he'd say, turning the last syllable of his last name into an elongated snort.
For those of us who grew up watching sitcoms in the 1970s, the Sweathogs were the somewhat grittier New York alternative to the very different high school life depicted on the Milwaukee-set "Happy Days," which also aired on ABC. "Kotter," which lasted only four seasons from 1975 to 1979, stands as a still-entertaining TV time capsule with its classic opening theme song and scenes-of-Brooklyn sequence – not mention its look at Travolta just before, and for a short while after, he exploded onto movie screens in "Saturday Night Fever."
While Travolta became a superstar and Kaplan launched a second career as a top poker player, the other cast members never approached their "Kotter" success after the show went off the air. Hegyes, sadly, died in January at age 60. Palillo likely spent much of the last decade regretting his decision to go on Fox's old "Celebrity Boxing" show, which ended in his pummeling by Dustin "Screech" Diamond in a match conceived in some Freudian hell.
We prefer to remember Palillo as the smart aleck whose hand in the air heralded not a fist to fly, but a laugh to come, on a show that, like an old friend, is always welcome.

December 14th
Terminal C at Newark Airport is celebrating today's launch of nonstop service to Mont-Tremblant Airport in the province of Quebec; I am with a group of journalists, and help myself to some refreshments being served at the gate before boarding Continental Express for the one hour and fifteen minute flight.
It is snowing as we circle and land; a group of town dignitaries and enthusiastic local residents are on hand to welcome and photograph our arrival. The small terminal, once a military landing strip, is now a cozy log cabin with a wood burning fireplace; and comfortable couches. It has taken four years of dedication and determination to bring scheduled air service from the United States to Mont-Tremblant.
After a buffet lunch of traditional salads, beers and honey wines in front of the roaring fire, our group dons snowmobile suits, boots, and helmets with visors for the unexpected thrill of driving one of the snowmobiles parked outside. After a quick driving lesson, I rev up the engine and take off down a lane blanketed in two feet of powdery white snow (the results of last night's storm). I accelerate the throttle and take a deep breath; the natural beauty is magical; the experience exhilarating. What a neat way to enjoy the great outdoors, racing through miles of snow-kissed trails.
The cost of the shuttle bus to the Mont-Tremblant Resort is included in the price of our Continental airline ticket. In route to the Westin Hotel, we pass through small villages festively decorated for the holidays; the countryside is breathtaking; the sun glistens on the frozen lake that will soon be filled with skaters. The weekend promises perfect conditions for skiing, snowboarding; snowmobiling, dog sledding or a snow shoe walk through the woods.
My elegantly decorated one bedroom suite at the Westin Hotel has a compact kitchen, dining table, gas burning fireplace, a deliciously comfortable "heavenly bed" and a terrace with a view of the mountain and the chairlift. Dinner has been scheduled for 8:00 at Spag & Co.; I browse the shops for an hour, then join the group for a fun Italian feast.
Mont-Tremblant is a Four Seasons Resort with its own activity center, conveniently located in the center of the village. A visit upon arrival is a must; it has been set up to help visitors plan and schedule a wide range of seasonal activities and spa treatments.
Saturday, December 15th
The day begins with an early morning gondola ride to the summit for a traditional breakfast of waffles, topped with fresh fruits, crepes filled with eggs and salmon and steamy bowls of Canadian hot chocolate. Some of the group ski down the mountain; others ride the gondola; the views are majestic; the air crisp and cold.
At 11:30 we board a bus for a cultural and historical tour of the region. The Millette Sugar Shack, a family owned maple syrup producing company, spanning five generations, continues the tradition of collecting sap in horse drawn barrels. Odile Millette tapped his first tree in 1922; in 1957, the family built a sugar house restaurant to serve home cooked meals, using recipes handed down through the generations. The restaurant is a hoot with an "all you can eat" menu of pea soup, grandma's omelets, maple syrup ham and sausages, buckwheat pancakes, potatoes, baked beans, home baked breads and their famous sugar pies. An accordionist plays square dancing music, and we all join in the fun.
Next on our schedule is a heritage tour of Sainte—Agathe- Des—Monts. The Mayor greets us at the once famous, no longer operating train station. The town is proud of its roots; the railroad spurred development of lumber, tourism and health services. Wealthy families from Montreal built homes around the lake. In 1895, a New York City nurse opened what was heralded as the first health spa clinic to cure tuberculosis. Sainte-Agathe, and the surrounding lakes, embrace all the cultural influences that make up Canada. Descendants of the original settlers, who first arrived in 1849, remain active in the community. We stroll down Main Street to the Second Annual Christmas Bazaar, the mayor points out landmarks and improvements made during his time in office.
We travel across the Pays-d'en-Haut region to the historic and charming town of St. Saveur. Once there, we pile into a two horse drawn open wagon and huddle against each other under red blankets; it is bitterly cold as we make our way through residential and commercial streets festively ablaze with Christmas lights and decorations; Rue Principale is lined with art galleries and antique shops. We are happy to reach Manoir St. Sauveur, where a Bloody Mary and a crackling fire in the hotel bar quickly thaws our frozen limbs; dinner in the adjoining dining room. Is a many course sumptuous banquet. After dinner we check out the spa, then walk to the base of St. Sauveur ski slopes, the only ones in the area open for night skiing. We brave the below freezing temperature to ride the chair lift up and down the illuminated mountain, envious of skiers and snowboarders. Rick, our enthusiastic host and ambassador for tourism in the Laurentians tells us "I am only giving you 50% so you will come again for the rest".
Sunday, December, 16th
A snowstorm barrels up and down the East Coast; our scheduled departure at 1:30 P.M. is iffy. We drive to the Hotel Mont-Tremblant in the old Tremblant Village for a hearty breakfast of fresh squeezed orange juice, eggs, bacon, sausage and hot croissants. Our gracious host fills us in on the history of Old Tremblant. The hotel, now a small cozy and reasonably priced B & B, was built in 1902 to house Standard Chemical factory workers. Then, when the Ryan family from New York brought Alpine skiing to the area, it began providing lodging for skiers.
Spa Le Scandinave, set deep in the woods, is all about wellness. We cross the frozen river by way of a suspension bridge to reach the main lodge; a family of deer feeding from a trough filled with carrots pays little attention to our presence. We are given towels, a locker key and instructions on how and why going from the indoor steam and sauna to the outdoor cold plunge waterfall pools increases circulation and promotes health; brave souls are encouraged to also take a quick dip in a hole in the frozen river.
When I learn the flight has been canceled, I retreat into the Westin's Amerispa (there's also an Amerispa in the Fairmont Hotel) for a unique and exclusive- to- the- spa apple cider scrub and massage. Amerispas offer a full menu of body treatments, massages and facials.
I plod through the snow to Les Artistes Restaurant, Their special four course menu is most impressive with many choices; I order escargot, goat cheese salad, rack of lamb and chocolate profiterole. The wine flows as smoothly and freely as the excellent service.
Mont-Tremblant Resort's pedestrian village with its mix of rentable non- service condos and full serviced hotel condos like the lakeside Quintessence Hotel & Spa, The Westin, The Fairmont, The Marriott and Hilton have it all: instant access to skiing, trendy boutiques, art galleries, pampering spas . . . and a great après ski social scene. There are so many bars and gourmet restaurants with exceptional cuisine, you won't know where to start or when to call it a night.
Monday, December 17th
The sun is rising over the ski mountain. From the window of my suite at the Westin, I watch early morning snow boarders and skiers ride the chair lift for their first run of the day. Yesterday's heavy snow has dumped another foot or two of snow; plows are busy clearing paths for those beginning their work or play day. At the airport, a box lunch and a glass of wine hits the spot as we wait for the arrival of the plane that will transport us back to New York in less than an hour.
Continental's Newark- bound flight accelerates speed for take-off; in the distance a chair lift carries skiers to the summit; it has been a glorious four days.
Mont- Tremblant is a well designed kingdom where every visitor gets the royal treatment . . . a magical winter wonderland that "keeps its promises" and delivers "more than it promised".

I'm having some issues putting 2 pieces of code together
First part
I have this string
$string = "some text...  some more text ";
What i want to do is add width and height to those img tags and automatically reduce the image size by like 50%. I have a function that returns the image width and height in an array. For example
$resized_image = imgresize("path to image");
I then can print $resized_image[height] to get the height, and $resized_image[width] for the width.
Second part
I have a reg exp that will search for the image tag and add width and height
How can i tie these 2 together? The only way i can think of is to call the array in the $replacement string, but dont know how to do so with an arrayCode:$pattern = "/(/is"; $replacement = ""; echo preg_replace($pattern, $replacement, $string);

"Just another example of the evolving story of evolution. Almost daily evolutionists are changing their ideas--after all, it's just a made-up story about the past so they can change it whenever they want--and they do--and they call it science!
https://phys.org/news/2018-02-colonized ... rlier.html"
What an appalling pathologically lying cultist science hating bigot this man is. Makes me feel sick in the stomach - if I was still a Christian I am sure I would feel exactly the same.
Details of a wide-ranging theory get altered following further investigations. Which is what happens sometimes with science.
Besides this lying bigot frequently tries to have it both ways:
https://answersingenesis.org/blogs/ken- ... -religion/
"I urge Christians to become more vocal regarding calling evolution and millions of years what they really are (and to undo secularist brainwashing). Evolution and millions of years—concepts held to with ardor and blind faith—are a religion—and this religion is being imposed on kids. Secularist propaganda has brainwashed millions of kids in evolution, but it's an anti-God religion to justify people being their own gods!"
No the person with the unchanging inflexible dogmatic RELIGION is Ken Ham. The theory of evolution is NOT an unchanging inflexible dogmatic 'religion'. A typical dictionary definition of religion being "the belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power, especially a personal God or gods" or "a particular system of faith and worship".
He's an appalling hypocrite. "I love science!" No - you hate science. You FALSELY call it a 'religion' - and then FALSELY allege that it is being significantly changed 'almost daily'. Ken Ham is a LIAR.
And he is not Christianity's spokesperson.

https://answersingenesis.org/blogs/ken- ... st-a-duck/
"A recent article highlighted the discovery of a "duck-relative" (otherwise known as a duck) [no], which they call a "modern bird," [yes ie it was not toothed unlike most from the Cretaceous era] from the supposed "Age of Dinosaurs," [no 'supposed' just actual] according to the evolutionary timeline.
"This duck group supposedly survived the dinosaur extinction event some 65 million years ago and is allegedly "the first documented case of a group of birds surviving such extinction."" [That's what the evidence shows.] "But how could dinosaurs have evolved into birds if we have examples of modern birds in the very same layers as dinosaurs?" [Easily since there were hundreds of species of dinosaurs - though not all of them contemporaneous with each other - through an era lasting more than 150 million years, and (as AiG accept) some birds, species that are now long extinct, were already around too towards the end of that era.] Ham's bold type sentence is wilful misdirection.
This article also repeats Ken Ham 'information' from earlier this month that has recently been mostly debunked by a Christian palaeontologist blogger. Namely: "And, contrary to what the article states, these ducks are certainly not the only example [that article never said they were it said neornithes were "very scarce and patchy" and then suggested that Vegaviidae was "the first group of modern birds from the Mesozoic" (to survive the extinction event - and note the word 'group')] of modern birds buried with dinosaurs. We find fossilized parrots, albatrosses, loons, owls, flamingos, penguins, sandpipers, and more buried in the same layers as dinosaurs. And one evolutionary researcher claimed that such evidence supports the idea that "most or all of the major modern bird groups were present in the Cretaceous" (a so-called "dinosaur layer"). While these fossils are rarely displayed in museums, they exist and are a serious challenge to the evolutionary timeline."
See: https://answersingenesis.org/blogs/ken- ... just-bird/
"But the author of the article calls these birds "bird-like dinosaurs" because of the supposed evolutionary connection between dinosaurs and birds (even though modern and now-extinct birds lived at the same time as the dinosaurs, including parrots, loons, owls, flamingos, and more)."
And then: https://thenaturalhistorian.com/2018/02 ... sil-birds/
"But this claim is just wrong and it is wrong in multiple ways. First, for most of the birds mentioned, no such fossils exist. Second, the term "modern" is undefined but 99% of AiG's readers will take this to mean that a "modern" parrot from the era of dinosaurs is a parrot similar to one alive today but whose bones are found mixed with dinosaur-bearing rocks.
So, are there fossils of "modern" parrots, loons, owls and flamingos found in dinosaur-era rocks? The short answer – NO! But are there fossils in dinosaur-bearing rocks of ancestral parrots and flamingos that are recognizable as belonging to those families or "kinds" as Ken Ham might want to call them or may be thinking in his "modern" term? The answer is still NO! There aren't even any fossils that can be definitely identified as belonging to these families that are found with dinosaurs." [However Ken Ham does appear to have shown in his latest blog post that there were some ancestral parrots around in the Cretaceous.]
A "serious challenge to the evolutionary timeline" is not the same thing as a serious challenge to the theory of evolution.
And Ham hasn't finished:
"The layers don't represent eons of evolutionary time—they most likely represent ecosystems successively buried by rising floodwaters." Total garbage. How could more than one ecosystem be found in a single location in the space of one year (a 'flood year' indeed)? Total nonsense. Real science - and real deep time - does explain what is observed.
"To learn more about fossils of so-called "modern" animals, check out Living Fossils, an excellent book by Dr. Carl Werner. You'll be shocked by what's found in the fossil record that you never knew about!
Oh, and ducks have always been—well—ducks!"
Said the Ayatollah of Misinformation.
Actually these Vegaviidae birds may have been more loons than ducks. Remind you of anyone? From the article Ham tries to ridicule:
"Records of Modern birds (Neornithes) from the Age of Dinosaurs or Mesozoic Era, are very scarce and patchy. Most specimens are represented by isolated bones or strongly incomplete skeletons. This contrast with toothed birds, which are widely represented and known by abundant skeletons." Toothed birds, which appeared earlier in Earth history, having now gone extinct. We are left with 'modern' birds (even if some of them had ancient origins).
Ken Ham is anti-science. His articles are often breath-takingly simplistic and stupid.

Those tapped in to Sterling's pipes will have to wait a bit longer for their newly filtered water, a representative from the contractor in charge of the new Water Treatment Plan told the Sterling City Council Tuesday evening.
Some unexpected hang-ups have pushed back the time before residents receive the full benefits of the new water treatment plant until late summer.
The plant has been filtering the city's water since November, but the full 80/20 reverse osmosis (RO)-filtered water to regular filtered water mix will eke its way into Sterling's system over the next several months.
Plans to build the plant started around September 2008, when the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment issued an enforcement order to get the city's water up to compliance with Environmental Protection Agency standards within a given time frame. The main contaminant, among others, was the water 's naturally-occurring uranium levels, which could increase a person's cancer risk over longer exposures.
The water treatment plant will significantly lower uranium and pollutant levels, and significantly drop the hardness of the water.
Most of the issues crews ran into concerned well and distribution issues, but one stood out: A thick, black, non-cohesive material in the well water was clogging up filters faster than expected.
"We don't know entirely what it is," said Rob Demis, of Hatch Mott MacDonald, the company overseeing construction of the plant. He brought a bottle of it to show the council, showing it as fine black sediment layered at the bottom of clear ground water. After a couple of shakes, the water turned black and opaque.
The material – 20 percent organic material and 30 percent manganese, with traces of other elements, such as iron and silicon – is also odorless, though Demis guessed it would have tasted "metallic" and "bitter." The manganese gives the material its color.
The raw water filter running now, which catches sediment down to the one-micron level, has caught the material at the five-micron level. Crews would change the filters every couple of days in November, but it's since become less prevalent, which Demis credited to the city's aggressive pipe flushing program.
"We don't know the origin. It may be coming out of the pipes. It may be coming out of the formations," he said. "The good news now is we're filtering it."
The plant also encountered issues with its distribution system, which wasn't getting water out of the plant quick enough to the city's distribution tanks to fill them. Demis said the plant quickly fills Sterling's north and south tanks but doesn't reach its west tank.
Part of the problem might be buildup in the pipes over the years slowing water flow (like plaque clogging an artery, Demis said), but many of the pipes are also 100 years old.
"When you've got pipes that are 100 years old, the records on the size of the pipe, what's in the ground, may not be all that good," he said.
The problem is "relatively easy" to fix.
But crews are also working to get more water from the raw water wells.
The plant had planned on having the ability to pump more than 7,900 gallons of water per minute, but right now it can only pump about 5,500. That means that of the treatment plant's three pump levels – the third allowing the maximum amount of water to pump during peak use – they can only pump enough water to fulfill the first two.
Demis said the crews are still trying to rehabilitate the wells, which have been degraded and worn out over time.
Water treatment crews have also been finishing construction on two deep water injection wells, which will deposit treated waste water more than a mile underground. One of the wells was dug at about 7,200 feet underground, as recommended by EPA estimates, while the second was dug to about 6,100 feet.
Demis said the area's geology hasn't been fully explored, so the crew will need to test the area over time.
While the project still has about $2.9 million left in its budget, between $1.6 million and $2 million of that will go toward the well's construction, testing and completion. The 7,200-foot well should be completed by early summer, while the second should be completed by late summer.
When asked about previous estimates that the 80/20 mix could start flowing by the end of March, Demis said the physical construction of the water treatment plant might be done by then, but the water would take longer to reach customers.
Other water treatment plant officials had previously said employees would start checking the systems in January.
City Manager Joe Kiolbasa said the city could receive the correct mix now, but only for about six hours per day.
The city will slowly add more RO water to the mix as the treatment plant comes closer to completion, but Kiolbasa said the changes might not be announced.
Plant crews might increase or decrease the amount of RO water they can use, depending on additions or corrections they need to make to the system. In the mean time, Demis said the water might have a milky or red color, odor and taste issues and re-suspended sediment at points as the water's new chemistry dissolves deposits on the city's pipes.
The changes might also cause pipes to break as deposits loosen, but water conditions will eventually return to normal.

Uk UFO sightings – September 2008 [ more articles to be added ]
Posted by dandare on September 29, 2008
i will try and keep this up to date, with all information from the UK.
Please check back from time to time, as this will be updated regularly…If you see something that i have missed, please contact me (thanks).….
There has been an explosion of UK UFO activity, after the MOD released its UFO archive, and this might account for the media clamouring for our attention (how much of it is fact, is frankly anyone's guess), and also the public looking at the sky more than normal. In september, this seems to have died down a bit now.
Many of the sightings are sensationalised, with usually alot of information missing.
Please keep this in mind as you view these postings from the local and national press.
I'm afraid many also fail to follow up on their initial leads, and many reports just remain forgotten.
Some incidents could be UFO balloons (please see: https://dandare.wordpress.com/2007/05/19/ufo-balloons-what-are-they/ for more details, from a previous article).
However, as i have said before, i am not sure what value they are to any UFO research.
I'm afraid many also fail to follow up on their initial leads, and many reports just remain forgotten.

"I have to state from the outset, that an inordinate number of these reports are suspiciously similar to the Chinese lantern profile, both in colour and in their behaviour patterns.

On Friday 3rd of oct 2008, at about 21.30 i was travelling from the swansea area to home, and above junction 34 + just west of it saw about 7-8 orange ball like orange glowing shapes at various different heights. They appeared static but cannot be sure as i was moving at the time, i was with a work colleague at the time and he also saw them. I just wondered if anyone else had reported this????? I am working in the area tomorrow night and will keep my eyes peeled.

Whilst travelling from Hucknall to Arnold Nottingham this evening Saturday 18th October at about 8pm I saw a stream of UFOs moving through the sky in an easterly direction. They were individual orange/yellow lights, at first I thought maybe hot air balloons or similar ut they were moving too fast. They definitely were not helicopters or planes as there must have been in excess of 100 in all. How do I find out what they were and if anyone else has reported them?

SensoLyte® Green Protease Assay Kit *Fluorimetric*
The SensoLyte® Green Protease Assay Kit is widely used for detection of generic protease activities. The kit uses a casein derivative that is heavily labeled with a rhodamine derivative, resulting in almost total quenching of the conjugate's fluorescence. Protease-catalyzed hydrolysis relieves this quenching conjugate, yielding brightly green fluorescent dye-labeled peptides. The increase in fluorescence intensity is directly proportional to protease activity (Ex/Em=488/520 nm). The SensoLyte® protease assay kits do not require any separation steps and can be used to continuously measure the kinetics of a variety of exopeptidases and endopeptidases. The kit contains:, Fluorescent labeled casein with high ratio of dye/protein (pH-insensitive), Trypsin (as positive control), Assay buffer, A detailed protocol
