Andrew T. Smith has been waiting for something like this for over 30 years.
As he sits in his old office chair on the fourth floor of the First Bank & Trust Co. building in downtown Ardmore, he beams with a smile from ear to ear, watching horse racing videos and telling stories of his three-year-old, male quarter horse, Wicked Courage.
He's been involved with horse racing and horse training since 1980, but he's never had a horse like this one.
"It's a dream come true for me," said Smith, who's lived Ardmore for years and worked long in partnership with his father, Harris, in owning Ardmore Drilling Co. "I've been involved with horse racing for a long time and I've never had anything like this horse."
Rightfully so, as his dark, night-colored racehorse has ripped off seven straight wins, setting up for a chance to complete one of the greatest quarter horse seasons ever.
After purchasing the horse in September 2011 from the historic 6666 Ranches in Guthrie (Texas) for $4,000, Smith and his team got Wicked Courage ready to run by the next spring.
Wicked Courage ran five races from March to August, finishing in the top five in all, but winning none. That changed on Sept. 23.
Wicked Courage won his first race at Will Rogers Downs in Claremore, which began an elite tear that would certainly turn some heads.
Smith, 62, and his team continued to return to Claremore and Wicked Courage continued to win. Wicked Courage would win four more races within the next month-all at Will Rogers Downs — and the team was making the whole quarter horse racing thing look easy. Wicked Courage's latest win to that point in November was his biggest thus far, raking in $167,597.
However, prior shin and knee problems would suddenly require surgery for Wicked Courage after his fifth straight win in November.
"We took it slow," Smith said. "We didn't want to run him back out there too quick after he had five chips taken out of his knees. He has such a desire to win and he refuses to lose. He's a very lively horse, but we wanted to keep him healthy."
The first race following the surgery was the Bob Moore Memorial Stakes at Remington Park in Oklahoma City, a shorter race than normal (300 yards instead of 400). Smith and his team were anxious to see how their previously hot horse would fair.
After stumbling out of the gates, literally, Wicked Courage recovered and ran away from his competitors with ease — his sixth straight win. For Smith, it was unlike anything he'd ever seen.
"He immediately fell from the starting gate to his knees," laughed Smith. "I looked at my wife and neither of us could believe it. We thought the streak was done."
The streak wasn't done; it was only becoming more impressive.
Wicked Courage's next stop was Ruidoso Downs, one of the premier quarter horse racetracks in the country and a place that Smith had been before.
"I'd taken plenty of horses down there before, but would always finish middle of the pack like fifth or sixth, or even last," he said. "But I knew it would be different with him."
Smith was right, as Wicked Courage qualified for the derby by winning his heat, stretching the streak to six. But he qualified in the last spot, as he was faced with a 25-mile per hour headwind, different from the other derby trials.
But Smith wasn't worried about being the last horse in, he knew what Wicked Courage had in him, and he thought the trial conditions make have skewed the results.
"I knew he'd have a chance to compete and win, because of how well he ran into the headwind," said Smith. "Wicked isn't a real big horse, but he's big in his heart. A great racehorse has to be big somewhere."
The owner was right, yet again, as Wicked Courage won his seventh straight — and biggest race — by a neck length from a not-so-friendly spot, in the eighth gate.
"He's got a gear that a lot of horses don't have," Smith said. "I call it an overdrive. Well, Wicked has a super overdrive."
Super overdrive is right, as Wicked Courage won Smith and his team, comprised of trainer Louis Villafranco and jockey Cody Jensen, $345,557 in the first race of the Ruidoso Triple Crown.
"Both of those guys deserve so much credit," Smith said. "He's tougher than just about anyone. We're glad to have him and he's been great during this winning stretch. Louis deserves a lot of credit for the training and personal care of the horse.
"Louis told all of us last year, 'Wicked may just be a million-dollar horse if we can keep him healthy.' I think he might be right."
Wicked Courage has already amassed a total of $593,333 since last September, with many of the larger purse races left on the schedule.
And the right people seem to be taking notice, as Wicked Courage has moved up to No. 4 in the national quarter horse rankings, released by the American Quarter Horse Association.
"When you win these races out there (Ruidoso), you get people's attention," said Smith. "They call it 'going to the mountain' and if you 'go to the mountain,' you'd better have a horse that can run."
Smith, who owns a farm north of Dickson that's been home to racehorses for years, isn't staying put anytime soon, as they head back to Ruidoso in July for the second leg of the Ruidoso Triple Crown, the Rainbow Derby.
"We think he has a chance to be one of the greatest in the history of quarter horses," said Smith. "The triple crown has only been done once in 50 years."
If he can win his last four races, Wicked Courage has a chance to bring in over $4 million, the most ever for a horse in a year's span.
Even with all of the money earned, for Smith and his camp, it's still about the enjoyment of watching his horse continue to be victorious.
"It's not about the money for me," he said. "It's more about watching my special horse be able to win all of these races."

(assuming you used 192.168.100.1 as your public side network)
(assuming you used 192.168.100.1 as your public side network)
Revision as of 09:30, 21 February 2013
Deployment Overview
The All-in-One method of deploying OpenStack will give the user a functional OpenStack environment with the current general deployment components based on the Cisco Edition model. Currently, this deployment model includes:
- Nova
- Glance
- Keystone
- Quantum
- Nova-Volume
- Horizon
It does not include:
- Cinder
- Swift
- Other incubation Projects
It does include a subset of non incubated but still useful tools:
- Nagios
- Collectd/Monitd
Deployment Prerequisites
You should already have a single machine on which to build your openstack environment, and it should have access to the public internet (though it is not a requirement for the public internet to have access to the machine). This machine can be a physical system, or a virtual instance. You should have ~30GB of Free disk space, and you will likley want at least 4GB of RAM, though more is almost always better. It is also a requirement currently that you run Ubuntu 12.04.01 though 32 or 64 bit should not make a difference (we've tested exclusively on 64 bit OSs). It may also be possible to leverage Ubuntu Server 12.10 or a RedHat variant (RHEL/RHEV 6.3, Fedora 17, Centos 6.3), but these have not been tested. As this system will use a single interface, the upstream network is not particularly critical, though it is certainly easier to work with the system if there is a consistent CIRD subnet IPv4 address block availalble. IPv6 _should_ also function, but has not been tested in the current system.
- x86 class server or virtual machine with >=4GB RAM, >=30GB disk
- Ubunt Server 12.04.1 installed with OpenSsh-server installed
- A single network interface, preferably with an open CIDR subnet attached (e.g. 192.168.100.1/26)
Deployment Steps
1. Install Ubuntu 12.04.1 x86_64 Server operating system
- Follow the standard install process, selecting the defaults
- Install at least OpenSSH-server
- We have tested principally with the disk in LVM mode
2. Install additional prerequisite packages:
- puppet, git
Become root
$ sudo -H bash
Install packages
# apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade -y && apt-get install puppet git -y
Now, clone the puppet baseline code that will help bring in the rest of the system.
# git clone https://github.com/robertstarmer/folsom-manifests -b all-in-one all-in-one-manifests # cp all-in-one-manifests/manifests/* /etc/puppet/manifests/
Now grab the rest of the puppet code:
# cd /etc/puppet/manifests; ./puppet-modules.sh
Next we need to resolve a few "glitches" in the current code:
# for n in nova quantum openstack horizon; do # rm -rf /etc/puppet/modules/$n # git clone -b folsom https://github.com/robertstarmer/puppet-$n /etc/puppet/modules/$n

Now. You will need to edit the sample site.pp to meet your specific site. This should require changing only a very small number of parameters:
- node hostname (recommend something with "aio" in the name)
- public IP address
- upstream ntp server
# cp /etc/puppet/manifests/site.pp{.example,} # vi /etc/puppet/manifests/site.pp
System Fixes
With those steps completed, there are only a few small tweaks that still need to be made to the system before we can launch the puppet. 1. Because we are going to set up Open Virtual Switch as a part of the deployment, and because we are going to only leverage a single interface, we will need to modify the network interfaces file. this may be resolved in a future deployment model, but today, this is a part of the basic setup:
# vi /etc/network/interfaces
the simplest way to fix this file is to copy the two lines for your primary interface (often this is eth0), and paste them back in.
An example before:

auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static
address 184.108.40.206 netmask 220.127.116.11 dns-... etc.
An example after:
auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 0.0.0.0 auto br-ex iface br-ex inet static address 126.96.36.199 netmask 126.96.36.199 dns-... etc.
And because OpenVirtual Switch starts later than the "rest" of the network subsystems, we'll fix a glitch that would add a few minutes to the boot time of the server. Find the section in the file: /etc/init/failsafe.conf that looks like:
$PLYMOUTH message --text="Waiting for network configuration..." || : sleep 40 $PLYMOUTH message --text="Waiting up to 60 more seconds for network configuration..." || : sleep 59 $PLYMOUTH message --text="Booting system without full network configuration..." || :
and make it look like:
$PLYMOUTH message --text="Waiting for network configuration..." || : $PLYMOUTH message --text="Waiting up to 60 more seconds for network configuration..." || : $PLYMOUTH message --text="Booting system without full network configuration..." || :
Great, now we're ready for the majic to happen:
# cd /etc/puppet/manifests # puppet apply -v site.pp
In about 15 minutes or so (depending on the speed of your disk, network connection, etc.) you should have a basic OpenStack system based on the Cisco Edition model!.
Now, how do you use that brand new system? Well, first you will need to load some kind of image into the environment, and we can suggest the Cirros image as it's small and yet functional enough to get started. Certainly you can deploy other cloud images (including Amazon images!) into the system, but be aware that your images, and your deployed VMs will be sharing whatever local disk space your system has. One reason we like the Cirros image is that it's only ~10MB in size!. You can grab a copy from here: http://download.cirros-cloud.net/0.3.1/
A quick way to get a first image up is to use our Quantum test script:
# git clone https://github.com/CiscoSystems/quantum-l3-test # cd quantum-l3-test # ./create_vm
You can use the IP range of our external network (the one we used to tweak the network configuration earlier) though you will need to have 3 free addresses usually right above the router address (so if the router is 192.168.100.1, you would want to make sure that .2 .3 and .4 are available). It is also good to know what your local DNS server is so that DNS can be assigned to the new vm when it starts. And lastly, you'll want a pointer to the Cirros image (or your image of choice). The system expects a qcow2 complete image (sorry, it doesn't load the 3 parts of an AMI at this point). The direct path to the Cirros image: http://download.cirros-cloud.net/0.3.1/cirros-0.3.1-i386-disk.img
Now you can just run:
# cd quantum-l3-test # ./create_vm
If all goes well, you should be able to:
# ssh firstname.lastname@example.com
(assuming you used 192.168.100.1 as your public side network)
There's certainly a lot more that you can do with this system now that it's running, but hopefully this process has removed a lot of the overhead of getting a basic system online.

Drug watch: In a four hour period Thursday night, The Street Crimes Unit conducted several investigations. It started in the 100 block of South Oak Street when information was developed regarding the location of a fugitive from Wayne County.
Officers arrived at the house and located the subject who attempted to flee. The felon was quickly taken into custody and had in his possession several items of narcotic paraphernalia. Also located in the room were numerous packages of synthetic narcotics and marijuana.
The next stop took place on Kingshighway after a traffic infraction. Located in the vehicle was a variety of synthetic narcotics.
After that case was completed, officers conducted a traffic stop when a vehicle was observed speeding near Walmart. During the stop, officers detected the strong odor of marijuana. During the search of the vehicle, officers located felony amounts of narcotics, digital scales, and individual baggies of drugs packaged for resale.
The final stop took place on Highway V whereas the vehicle's driver failed to use a turn signal. While speaking with the driver, the arresting officer could see a bag of marijuana hanging from his jacket pocket. When asked about the marijuana, the driver attempted to push the bag deeper into his pocket and stated it was just his cell phone.
The following is an anonymous letter that was sent to me, the mayor and city council; so I thought I would share it with you. A few things, first when people send in anonymous complaints, letter etc. it's hard to answer them, our department handles one call every six minutes, seven days a week 24/7, 365 days a year and our response time is somewhere around two to three minutes on serious calls and five or more on other type calls. Also, this letter was posted just the way it was written with typos and all. Here is the letter:
I must admit that I'm surprised of anyone being opposed to a background check of individuals purchasing weapons. Yes, I'm in agreement with our chief, that criminals will always find a way to obtain a weapon, but not necessary an assault rifle with a large capacity magazine. Our chief makes it sound that the government wants to take all of our weapons away. What mentality for a chief of police. Reference, "black market" that our chief alludes to if the fat cats running NRA (which I'm a member) weren't more concern about money or protecting their money supplier, namely companies producing assault weapons and large capacity magazines, then this issue wouldn't be an issue.
What's most impressive is an question posted on face book requesting feedback on the following inquiry. Leave it the way it is – loosen control – make it stricter OR take the guns from everyone but the government. A well thought out inquiry, right. At least it makes for interesting reading.
Now the best part of the article relates to a potential 30 minutes response time for an emergency call on someone trying to break into your home. If and I say If that's a correct statement than we really do have a problem in out city with our police department and maybe we should increase the county sheriffs department and contract the needs of our citizens solely to the sheriffs department. At least everyone on counsel should read the article in its entirety, including future weekend articles.
I would suggest that if in fact our chief of police writes the week end articles himself that he has a low ranking officer proof read everything that appears in the article. There's no point advertising the cities mentality.
Lastly, I certainly hope we never have an incident in our schools, myself like ever parent has concern about the kids safety. Oh yes, I'm sure the city will be asking once again for a tax increase, rather than taking a hard stand on national background checks for those purchasing weapons and the rigid band of high capacity magazines and assault rifles. Signed, A long time resident of Rolla and a concerned citizen.
I would like to take this opportunity to welcome our newest member to the Rolla Police Department family with the introduction of Telecommunicator Jeff Stokes. Jeff just started with us in Central Communications, four days ago after serving with the Dent County Sheriff's Department where he has been a telecommunicator since July of 2011. Jeff has also served as a rural firefighter in Dent County for the past 3 years. Jeff is from Salem, Missouri where he resides with his wife and young daughter. Jeff says "I have only been with the Rolla Police Department for 4 days now, and can already tell that I will love doing this. I look forward to helping the citizens of Phelps County in their time of need." Even with Jeff's prior experience, he will still undergo 14 -16 weeks of intense training to prepare him for his duties in Central Communications. Welcome aboard Jeff!
In closing, I would like to remind you that the Rolla Police Department is a long-time supporter of Special Olympics – Missouri and hold several events each year to raise monies for our local athletes. Right now out Law Enforcement Torch Run t-shirt campaign is underway and we are offering the 2013 ball caps as well. If you would like to see these shirts or caps contact Sgt. Vince Giacolone at 308-1213 or stop by the Rolla Police Department. Help us help the athletes!

Most early stage breast cancers are treated, at least initially, with surgery. The main goal of breast cancer surgery is to completely remove the tumor from the breast. There are 2 types of surgery for breast cancer:
- Breast-conserving surgery—Commonly known as a lumpectomy, or a wide excision or partial mastectomy. The surgeon removes the breast tumor and some normal tissue around it and attempts to conserve as much of the breast as possible.
- Total mastectomy—Complete removal of the breast.
Traditional Radiation Therapy
Most women who are treated with breast-conserving surgery are also treated with radiation therapy. This is because undetectable microscopic cancer cells may be left behind after surgery. Radiation therapy is used in an attempt to destroy these remaining cancer cells and reduce the chance for the recurrence of the disease. Unfortunately, in addition to destroying cancer cells, traditional radiation therapy affects normal, healthy breast tissue as well. To help minimize this damage, radiation therapy is generally delivered in carefully measured doses over a period of several weeks.
Internal Radiation Therapy
An alternative to traditional radiation therapy is internal radiation therapy, also called brachytherapy. This type of radiation therapy allows the radiation source to be placed inside the breast as close as possible to the cancer cells. Radioactive material is placed directly into the site where the tumor was removed, allowing the radiation to concentrate on any remaining cancer cells while minimizing damage to the surrounding normal breast tissue. These implants are removed after a short period of time.
A device called MammoSite is one method that provides an alternative to traditional radiation therapy for women who have had a cancerous lump removed from her breast by lumpectomy.
The MammoSite radiation therapy system (RTS) is a single, small balloon catheter that fits inside the cavity left behind by the removal of the cancerous tumor. Then, a tiny, radioactive seed, which is connected to a machine called a high dose rate remote-afterloading device, is inserted into the balloon. It is this seed that delivers the radiation therapy, effectively focusing the highest levels of radiation directly on the area of the breast at the highest risk for cancer recurrence.
Which Option is Right for You?
Brachytherapy may offer real benefit to women who must be treated with radiation therapy following a lumpectomy. If you have been diagnosed with breast cancer, speak with your radiation oncologist to see whether you are a candidate for lumpectomy and whether brachytherapy may be an appropriate treatment choice for you.

For 20 years his voice echoed off of many buildings in Cleveland.
Air conditioning wasn't in homes in many homes and apartments between 1933 and 1953, so on a hot summer day when the ballgame was on the radio, windows were up and Jack Graney was giving Indian fans the play-by-play.
For 20 years his voice echoed off of many buildings in Cleveland.
Air conditioning wasn't in homes in many homes and apartments between 1933 and 1953, so on a hot summer day when the ballgame was on the radio, windows were up and Jack Graney was giving Indian fans the play-by-play.
"He was actually, I suppose for a lot of people, the only broadcaster they knew growing up till he retired," Graney's daughter, Margot Mudd, who is living a happy life at 91, said. "I always describe him as a banty little Irishman. He wasn't very tall. He was my father. How do you describe your father?"
But Graney's entrance to the airwaves was quite historic. That's because no one in the history of baseball had every gone from being a player and continued on in the game in the broadcast booth.
Born in St. Thomas, Ontario, Canada, Graney came to the United States after being recruited by baseball scouts.
"At the time, I don't think there were many big league players from Canada as there are now. They were all hockey players," Mudd said. "They had a little town team, and he did very well. The scouts were kind of looking at him and I think he signed with Chicago to start with. He was sold to Cleveland."
Cleveland's team was known as the Naps when Graney debuted in 1908, they didn't changer their name to the Indians till 1915.
However, a year earlier, Graney made his inaugural entrance into the history books.
During a game against the Boston Red Sox, Graney stepped into the batter's box and faced a rookie pitcher. He had a baby face and the personality of an overgrown kid. His name was Babe Ruth.
"He was the leadoff man, that's part of it. I'm sure at the time, it didn't mean anything to him. Who knew who this fat kid was? As it turned out he got two hits that day," Mudd said. "People would say to him, 'By the way, you were the first one (to face Babe Ruth). I don't think it really impressed him too much."
Graney was also the first player to wear a number on his back. A trend that began with a player's spot in the lineup that has since blossomed into a form of baseball identity and immortality.
Between 1908 and 1922 as a player, all those years with Cleveland, Graney batted .250 with 1,178 hits, 18 home runs and 420 RBIs. In 1920, Graney and the Indians defeated the Brooklyn Robins — who later became known as the Dodgers — in the World Series.
After retirement he and a friend ran a Ford agency and did well until hit by the Great Depression.
"Everything went down, like it did for everybody. It was very tough times. We went to Canada and lived with my grandmother for a short time. It was tough for everybody back in those days. I was just a little kid, I can even remember it," Mudd said. "Then he'd fortunately — just when things were looking bad — he auditioned for the play-by-play. No player had ever been a broadcaster. He auditioned and they hired him in 1932 and we were able to eat again."
From there, the popularity Graney had as a player, grew.
"You'd expect with the broadcasting he might be egocentric. He was very much the opposite. I would say to him, 'Somebody says you're such a great broadcaster.' He'd say, "That and a dime will get you a cup of coffee.' He was not a bit impressed with himself," Mudd said. "He was very much in demand as an after-dinner speaker. In fact he traveled all over in the winter time. The ball club would send him out. All over Northeast Missouri really. I remember him going to Erie, Pennsylvania because they got the broadcasts. He had a lot of stories and things."
Broadcasters didn't accompany the team back in the day either, but Graney found a way to broadcast to the Cleveland faithful. His tactic was watching the news on the wire.
"Broadcasting ballgames was relatively new — and as I say — there was no equipment to remote in other cities. But it would come in on the tickertape and it would just say so-and-so struck out," Mudd said. "He'd have to fill in, make up what was going on to give it a little color, and he was very good at that because he had played in all those ball fields. He would say this is a short left field or whatever. He would be describing the ballpark and everything. He did a good job with that."
Graney was with the team when their won their second World Series in 1948. He got a ring that year too as the team's broadcaster. He retired to Bowling Green after retiring from the airwaves in 1953 to be with his daughter and grandchild. The Indians haven't won a World Series since, but Mudd is one of the few to possess both championship rings won by the Indians. Graney died in 1978 and is interred in Memorial Garden Cemetery in Bowling Green.
He is a member of the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame and in the 1980s the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame started the Jack Graney Award which is given to journalists and broadcasters who promote Canadian baseball.
There is some debate that Graney should be awarded the Ford C. Frick Award at the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, N.Y. given his significance. That award is given to legendary baseball broadcasters every year. Mudd said she'd like to see her father get the award, but it probably won't happen.
"Not enough people remember him," she said.
The year Mudd thought her father would the award, it was decided Bob Ueker would be the recipient instead.
Ueker is the voice of the Milwaukee Brewers, but ironically enough, was the voice of the Cleveland Indians in the "Major League" movies.

Paul Rands was in junior high when he decided that one day, he would be an All-America college wrestler.
Since then, the former Cary-Grove football and wrestling standout has followed a winding path that started at Northwestern and included a two-year sabbatical while he served a Mormon mission before he landed at the U.S. Naval Academy.
But when the NCAA wrestling championships begin March 20 in Oklahoma City, Rands will be one of three local wrestlers – including Oklahoma State's Austin Marsden (Crystal Lake Central) and Old Dominion's Jack Dechow (Richmond-Burton) – who hope to finish the weekend as All-Americans, which comes with a top-eight finish.
Marsden (285 pounds) and Dechow (184 pounds) are coming off Big 12 and Mid-American Conference championships, respectively. Rands, meanwhile, placed fourth at 197 pounds at the Eastern Intercollegiate Wrestling Association championships despite having to wrestle back after losing his first match.
Overcoming adversity, after all, is nothing new for Rands.
Upon returning from his Mormon mission, Rands discovered that transitioning back into competitive wrestling was more difficult than he anticipated. He struggled to rediscover his competitive edge, which carried over to his first season with the Midshipmen when he finished 13-22 overall and 2-10 in dual meet competition before finishing 21-9 as a redshirt freshman.
This season, Rands overcame two injuries and later had to fight through times when he knew he wasn't performing to his potential.
"I was winning, I was still placing at tournaments, but I wasn't being what I wanted to be," Rands said. "I wasn't being a champion."
A "moment of self-reflection" led Rands to engage one of his coaches in a one-hour discussion. He began to put in extra work after practice, which paid off during a stretch of two months when he didn't lose a match. He carried that streak into the conference championships when he wrestled well enough to extend his season.
"It's a perfect time to be clicking," Rands said. "But I don't want to draw my confidence on [past] matches. ...You have to have a short memory, learn what you need to learn from what happened and then move on."
Like Rands, Dechow's road to the national championships also included having to get past an early injury. A high ankle sprain forced Dechow to miss the first part of the season, sending his emotions spiraling. Dechow quickly grew frustrated that he couldn't contribute for his team, especially when Old Dominion would drop a closely contested dual match.
Mentally, though, Dechow pictured himself on top of the podium – images that quickly allowed the 184-pounder to picture himself in Oklahoma City wrestling for All-America status. At last weekend's Mid-American Conference Championships, Dechow defeated Northern Iowa All-American Ryan Loder, whom Dechow also knocked off earlier this season.
Loder is expected to be one of the top performers in the 184-pound weight class. But Dechow will build on his previous two matches against Loder.
"Nationals is the one time when it counts; it's the only time that it matters," Dechow said.
It was a regular-season loss that helped turn things around for Marsden, who will make his second NCAA appearance.
A 3-2 loss to Oklahoma's Ross Larson in December stuck with Marsden throughout the season, pushing him to overcome some early-season issues when the Cowboys' heavyweight felt like he wasn't at his best.
Despite efforts to move forward, Marsden found himself routinely returning to the loss to Larson. Motivated to make up for the disappointing result, Marsden trained harder, eventually seeing things improve during the season and into last weekend's Big 12 championships when Oklahoma State won its 48th conference title and fourth in the past five years.
The top-seeded Marsden beat West Virginia's A.J. Vizcarrondo, the tournament's No. 2 seed, to capture an individual championship. Now, he can draw on his national championships experience.
"Last year, I had no idea what I was getting into," Marsden said. "But I will use that as a reminder, knowing how much work you have to put and how difficult each match is to win."

A+ Flintstone BGs - using neutrals and Grays between the colors
All these BGs are from one cartoon: The Tycoon from the first season of the Flintstones.
Take a look at how striking limited palettes and even large amounts of gray can be.
These are some of the most beautiful BGs I've ever seen in cartoons. So cartoony, such unique color choices, stylized textures, yet it all feels so organic and alive. Bedrock is a place I'd love to live in.
I would kill to have this BG pan of Bedrock!This is proof that you don't have to have big budgets to have good looking cartoons. Talent, taste and controlled choices can add up to a lot more than money and lack of controlled decision making:This looks like the painter couldn't make up his mind what colors to use, so he just decided to use every one. Straight from the tubes and shot through a blotchy airbrush. It's definitely hard to make creative decisions, but those who can are to be highly admired!
Using a lot of opposing pure colors just breaks up the image into little pieces and makes the character hard to see. It also makes the cartoon look fake. It doesn't help to not have a composition either.
Compare the texture in these trees to the textures in more cleverly painted BGs. These pine needle textures are not only blunt and sloppily painted. They completely fill the silhouettes of the trees. No creative selection has been made. "I'll just fill up the whole image equally with evenly spaced detail" is the decision that was made.
Well this has a composition and that makes it easy to read, but there are those favorite cartoon colors again!
It's hard believe this image below is from a fully animated big budget feature and not a Saturday Morning cartoon. Money doesn't always buy taste.
I'm willing to bet that many artists don't have much say in the stylings of their cartoons. A lot of the decision making is likely in the hands of execs who think more detail and brighter colors equals quality.Look what happened just 10 years later!

Those rock textures!! Pure eye candy, unlike the vomit underneath haha.
- Roo said...
Great point so many backgrounds are so bright and rainbowy its almost nausiating. using complementry colors and balance in a bg seem to be replaced by more more more of every color at once. its not appealing but it gets attention.
i had no idea flinstones bg was so detailed. the color seemed so simplistic when i used to watch it. youve got great observation. thanks again for all youve shown us john.
- Will Finn said...
John these posts are great. Lozzi and Monte rule. Thanks for using such accurate reproductions too. FLINTSTONES season one is still as easy on the eye as ever.
- Raff said...
My local TV station must have been airing lousy prints of the Flintstones back in the day - I never remembered the colors being this good.
As for what's happening now, each movie must have a team of psychologists telling the producers, "Remember, kids like bright colors." Hence the bright, rainbowy business.
The Japanese laser/space/robot cartoons of the 80s had quite some intense colors but they made it work somehow.
- Pete Emslie said...
John enthuses: "Bedrock is a place I'd love to live in."
Actually, I think you already do. Only now it's been re-named L.A. (with skies even more beige than in Fred's time!)
These are indeed simple but elegant backgrounds you've been posting. Also, for the benefit of some of your readers who may not realize as such, the grays you are noting in the backgrounds are all very organic grays, having been mixed from complementary colours (in either warm or cool tones) to look more aesthetically pleasing to the eye, rather than from just mixing black and white which looks sterile and lifeless. Those background painters really did have great colour sense.
Looking at that Bedrock cityscape brings back fun nostalgic memories from when I watched "The Flintstones" as a kid. John, do you remember the old "Towers" department store in Ottawa? I recall buying this set of rubber Flintstones figurines there during a store promotion celebrating the show's 10th anniversary. I then proceeded to watch the show every weekday (as it was in syndication then) so I could build the entire town of Bedrock out of construction paper. Yep, I made Fred's house, Barney's house, the bowling alley, The Quarry where Fred worked, the Water Buffalo Lodge, the Gruesome's haunted house, etc, etc. I filled the basement floor up pretty good with that youthful hobby! Sadly, I got rid of my Flintstones rubber figurines, but if you also had those as a kid, I'll bet you've still got 'em!

I love you, John K.
- NateBear said...
that Hurcules shot look like it was a developing mistake. It's really hard to believe those colors were used intentionally.
- Emmett said...
Mr K, you are unbelievable.
How does one pick out the little details you do. Please come to New York, and give us New Yorkers some lessons.
Look at how putrid those colors are in that last Hercules screencap (especially on the clouds. No offense to the BG painter.)! Not even real pink clouds are like that.
John, you sure have a great eye for observation. Thanks for giving out all this knowledge.
- Chris S. said...
Yes, the colors and textures in the originals are incredibly beautiful ... but let's get to the serious issue here.
What f***in' jackass thought it would be a great idea to put socks and sneakers on Fred and Barney?!
- PCUnfunny said...
Jesus, who the hell declared said that purple and yellow are the only two colors in the sky ? Blech, terrible. I can your point about the FS BGs. Though a limited color palette was used, it was used in a creative manner by a real artist. Give me limited over lifeless any day.
- Kristin said...
I never noticed how great the old Flintstones BG's looked! I grew up with all of the cheap 90's crap.
All of the modern cartoon backgrounds hurt my eyes!!
- PCUnfunny said...
This is OT John but I would love for you to do a post on the James Bond title sequences. The old ones vs. the new ones.
- Robert said...
Yeah, but if I had to choose between "A Man Called Flintstone" and "A Goofy Movie" for the Best Feature, I'd go with Goofy.
- SlashHalen said...
Again, Flinstones BG's, beautiful. I wish I was able to notice this kind of stuff when I was younger. But I guess that's what I get for coming into existence in 1989 and being fed stuff like The Lion King and all the other cartoons that were crap.
On that note, why would anyone let there painters just throw in every color for those bottom pics? Did someone actually think that was a good idea? I mean, someone could get quite a headack from Hercules. It just doesn't look normal. This should be considered a crime.
I have a theory. Mabey the execs think that the brighter colors are better because... well those bottom pics are pretty much punching you in the face. They probably think the harder the punch, the bigger the impact the punch will have on your face and the bigger the impact the show will have in ratings....
I'm not choosing my words wisely, am I?
- lastangelman said...
What astounds me is that most people who saw The Flinstones when it first aired had black and white televisions and probably never saw it in color until six or ten years later(my family didn't get a color television until 1970)! The show transcended the limits of the technology.
Do you suppose a lot of the decisions about the colors and backgrounds used had to do with the fact most of that original viewing audience would see the show in black and white? As a comparison, quite a few rock and roll music producers from the sixties and seventies have said they made recordings mindful of the fact they would be heard on tinny portable AM radios and cheap home stereo speakers. Today much of these records have to be "remixed" to be "better" appreciated on today's state of the art equipment(too bad it's used to watch and listen to crap!)that sixties kids couldn't even imagine. Thank goodness the people at Warner Brothers didn't ruin The Flintstones box sets by "improving" the colors from the original episodes.
During your commentary on the Popeye short Lost And Foundry I listened to earlier today, you wonder aloud what the Fleischer Brothers would have done if 3-D technology (i.e., House of Wax) had been available. Eddie Fitzgerald commented on the amazing backgrounds created using just shades of gray. Since the patent on the stereo-optic process used by the Fleischers' has long expired, have you thought about producing a cartoon using that long discarded technology or perhaps make an improvement?
(check under Google Patents, enter 2054414 in search engine.)
- Eddie Fitzgerald said...
A terrific post, John! Thanks a million!
- Bitter Animator said...
Word on the street is Hercules was made by drag queeens for drag queens.
So I guess the colours fit there.
- litlgrey said...
...except for one thing, John. It is clear that the early creative promise of The Flintstones was exhausted after its first season. After that it very quickly began to succumb to a cuteness, a Saturday-morning-ization of a kind that also destroyed the George Reeves "Superman" series. In the case of The Flintstones, the series lost its edge both from the standpoint of writing and graphics.
By the time the writers began populating the series with cute babies, and Bea Benaderet was replaced, and Harvey Korman as the terminally annoying and extraneous Great Gazoo (and I adore Harvey Korman as a comedic genius), the original edgy appeal which came exclusively from the tense, Honeymooners-style interaction of the four principal actors was completely lost. The grpahics changed too, so you began seeing Betty and Barney's eyes filled in, and purple mountains and trees seemed to invade every background (as in the last screen capture you posted). Even the original, delightful musical themes began to be replaced by inappropriate Hoyt Curtin cues from HB's adventure series such as Jonny Quest.
At that point (and we're talking by 1964), the series had become a sad self-parody in which the characters were led on "adventures" that took them outside the primary environment of both tension and creativity... and humor.
One thing The Flintstones could boast of at first was maybe the finest cast of voice actors on television at that time: Reed, Blanc, Benederet and Vander Pyl. With added work by HB's regulars including Daws Butler and Don Messick, and with graphics by HB's MGM animation team, and with writers such as Michael Maltese, the series flourished. But it was all ruined by 1962 or so. It became exactly what you rail against, John, and no subsequent Flintstones revival ever regained that early flair and edge.
- Taber said...
Totally agree with most of these, but I don't understand why Tarzan is in the "bad" category. Is it because of the mostly monochromatic bright green? I remember thinking that movie was beautiful! But yeah those others, Goofy movie and Hercules? BLEH!
- Yosef said...
Ive always loved H-B backgrounds, especially Flintstones and Topcat.
But I quite like the Disney ones that your complaining about also... There's nothing really wrong with it in my opinion... But in saying that, I'm very eclectic with almost everything ;)
In the mean time... *Makes love to John's fantastic blog* :)
- Whit said...
One reason why that Goofy forest pan is painted with no negative space in the pine needles is that Disney TV Animation in that day just loved to pencil render the hell out of all of its key layouts. The higher the budget, the heavier the rendering. This was a feature that cost just about 21 million bucks, if it's from 'A Goofy Movie.' That drawing probably was at its best when it was a pencil rendering. The painter just tried, unsuccessfully, to mimic the key layout's clumpy graphic style with color.

I certainly enjoy the Art Lozzi posts. I would love to see another round of comments from the man himself.
- nick griffith said...
hey john your the best please respond
- nick griffith said...
john would you please tell us about the opening and closeing titles on big house blues
- smackmonkey said...
Big John K. sed - "Bedrock is a place I'd love to live in."
I wanted to make this comment yesterday when you pointed out how warm and inviting the backgrounds are. I've always loved cartoons that made me want to explore the world the characters live in. Though not so artistically elevated I also loved the first Peanuts specials.
From P. Emslie - "I recall buying this set of rubber Flintstones figurines there during a store promotion celebrating the show's 10th anniversary"
There was a factory in an area of L.A. Called Toad Town that made small (& large) rubber characters especially for HB shows. We used to steal suff off the loading dock all the time. It mysteriously burned down around 1970. We spent days digging through the charred rubble unearthing literally hundreds of Flinstones, Wacky Racers, etc. I traded most of them away within a year or two. Long live the Puppet Factory.
lastanelman sed - "As a comparison, quite a few rock and roll music producers from the sixties and seventies have said they made recordings mindful of the fact they would be heard on tinny portable AM radios and cheap home stereo speakers.

As an example George Martin spent much more time mixing the monoaural version of the Beatles Sgt. Pepper's album than the stereo version. Technological advancement doesn't always translate into elevated creativity.
Art Lozzi didn't have no undo command.

lastangelman asked, "Do you suppose a lot of the decisions about the colors and backgrounds used had to do with the fact most of that original viewing audience would see the show in black and white?"
As a television engineer I can tell you it definitely played a part. After a few years working on Yogi and Huck and even Ruff and Ready, I'm sure the H&B artists had learned a few things about what worked on television. (And at the same time some of these guys were workig on the Cinemascope Tom and Jerry's. Amazing.)
Making sure the characters registered on crappy B&W TV's with lousy reception was the priority. High contrasts and extreme colors in the BG just didn't work in those days. Fortunately, the principles we see in detail on these posts help the BG's work well in monochrome.
Deep reds turn black in B&W television, and who wants that? On the other hand, pale green turns "whiter than white."
When "The Flinstones" first aired one of the more popular shows on at that time was Disney's "Wonderful World of Color" which featured a good deal of content filmed in glorious Technicolor. So the H&B gang had a pretty high benchmark to hit even for 1960.
- Larry Levine said...
These beautiful background colors make me realize how us kids who grew up in the 60s watching B&W TVs got jipped!

Back to back posts about my favorite cartoon subject. Thanks John!
Those Flintstone backgrounds really are stunning. Even though Art plays it down, the design and color choices they made were really amazing. Mix that with flawless technique and rich textures and you have a real winner. I'd love to be able to paint like this. The only bg painters I know of who can come close have already worked with you. Bill Wray, Scott Wills, Bob Camp, Glenn Barr, Jenny Gase-Baker, etc. They all employ styles that are somewhat different from Art's, but I'm sure they could emulate his as well as anyone.
I wonder if Mr. Lozzi has any scans of the originals for us to study up close? Would love to see them.

Yuck!,those later backrounds are just plain garish.why would they use such overpowering colors?
the goofy ones are enough to make you nausious.
What a startling contrast to the elegant colors and clean designs of the earlier ones.
They sure degraded into sacharine crap as time went by!

White Pigeon's Crowl heads to Northwood
Matt Crowl doesn't want to be the center of attention.
It shows as the humble senior deflected from himself Wednesday afternoon and talked about his teammates helping him earn a college scholarship.
Crowl will take his talents north after his senior season to play at Northwood University.
"We've been to Northwood a few times and they were my No. 1 school going into recruiting," Crowl said. "They offered and I came home and talked it over with my family. I think it was an easy decision and I'm really excited."
Northwood, a Division II school that competes in the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference, tied for first place in the north division last season with a 13-6 league mark.
Mother Carolyn Niblock said she is excited for her son's future.
"I wanted him to be happy wherever he wanted to go," she said. "We fell in love with the environment of Northwood when we visited. I think it was a no-brainer for him and it's a great fit."
Yet, Crowl, standing at 6-feet-9-inches, isn't ready to leave White Pigeon. This year the Chiefs can be a great team if they stick together and play as a cohesive unit, coach Tony Cholometes said.
"I think Matt would agree that this season we are looking to succeed as a team first and secondly he'd like to continue making good memories," Cholometes said. "Our success on the season is dependant on how the team does and no matter how an individual does, Matt's memories will lie in large part with how the team does. If anything comes last with him, it's his personal goals."
Crowl added onto Cholometes' thoughts.
"I'm really excited for our senior year, I think as a team we can be good," he said. "I'm just really glad to get the pressure of deciding on a school off of me and just play basketball. I'm ready for the season to start."
Crowl said he will study either management or marketing while at Northwood, which is in Midland, Mich. The senior added, along with his mom, that the smaller campus atmosphere was certainly something that helped draw their attention to the school.
Often times when a high school player commits to a college or university, added pressure to be "the guy" come into the equation. However, both Crowl and his coach said that won't be a problem.
"Nah, there's no added expectations this season, I just want to play with my friends and family and have a good team season," he said. "We host districts this year so as a team we really want to win that. We've got a good team that is working hard and we have a lot of height this year."
Mom said she expects a bit more.
"My expectations are 30 points a game," she said with a laugh.
Cholometes and Crowl could only smile.
"That's be fine by me," Cholometes said, laughing. "You're not gonna hear me complain if that happens."
All kidding aside, Crowl can make his team better just by taking the floor.
"Matt is one of those kids that is completely unselfish and in the past, we've had good players that could have had that self-minded style, but they haven't been," Cholometes said. "Matt's one of those players and he can make our other guys better and I think that's a big part of a successful team."
Chemistry is always a big part of any successful program, and this year the Chiefs believe they have the chemistry to win.
"I think a big factor in any sport is chemistry and this group of individuals we have has come together well so far," Cholometes said. "We've only had three practices, but the cohesive nature of this group so far is one that continues to develop."
Last season Crowl averaged 12.3 points per game and led the team in rebounds at 9.1 per contest. He also blocked 2.75 shots per game, proving he is a defensive force in the middle of the floor. He's also earned multiple conference awards and has been nominated this season as a candidate for the BCAM's Best Class C Player in Michigan.

Perfect In Case of Slips or Falls
Get Security and Protection for Yourself or Your Loved ones with our Medical Alert Systems.
Stay Safe in Your Own Home.
Don't Delay – Call Today for More Info!
Call hours – Open 24/7
Medical Alert systems, also known as Personal Emergency Response Systems, have been around since the early 1980s. The medical alert industry estimates that about 1.8 million Americans use these services. A subscriber to a medical alert service usually has a small base station plugged into the telephone line in their home which can automatically dial to a monitoring center. An alarm call can be initiated on the base station by pressing its help button or by pressing the button on a pendant or wrist worn activator. The pendant or wrist band activator is actually a small radio transmitter that transmits a signal to the base station to tell it to dial.
In the event of an emergency, users can activate the system by pressing the button on their wireless device. An emergency dispatcher then responds to the call, directly speaking with the user via the two-way speakerphone on the communicator. After determining the kind of help needed, the dispatcher has the option calling someone on the user's emergency call list. This list typically includes up to three people who are available to assist the user if contacted by a dispatcher. In emergency situations or if verbal communications with the user cannot be established, the dispatcher will proceed to immediately contact paramedics.
If you are looking for a medical alert system to protect an elderly loved one, be sure to do your homework. There are a lot of companies out there that offer personal emergency response systems with a number of features and benefits that are very useful and others with serious limitations. For example, medical alert phones may be a practical solution for your elderly loved one if they are comfortable with the technology and you believe that they are not in a great risk of falling in becoming incapacitated. A medical alert phone is more or less a wireless phone that you can program with an auto dial feature. It allows the user to carry the telephone around and be able to present auto dial button and be connected with friends, relatives or emergency response professionals but it does require them to be able to access the telephone, operate the telephone and communicate with the person that they're calling.

Benefits of Medical Alert Systems in Florahome Florida
Your 80-year-old father who is wheel chair bound is home alone while you are off running errands or taking some time to yourself. He slips and falls landing on his hip and elbow. He is nowhere near a phone and cannot call out. Luckily, you purchased a medical alert system last week in the case of an accident. He presses the emergency button on his medical alert bracelet which immediately connects him to an emergency phone operator through a special call box. The phone operator assesses the situation and calmly guides the person through the processes. 911 help is dispatched by the operator and it arrives in 7 minutes. Paramedics immediately tend to your father and take him to the hospital for care. You reunite with your father in the hospital and find out that he is disoriented but has no serious injuries. Luckily, medical care arrived quickly preventing any further serious injury.
A medical alert system is a simple health monitoring device ideal for seniors who live alone, or are suffering from heart-related ailments and chronic diseases such as arthritis, diabetes, and osteoporosis. It utilizes the latest information technology and provides care in assisted living facilities. Some of the features of a medical alert system are automatic voice to voice communication, remote call answering, adjustable volume controls, and monthly test call reminders.
A typical alert device includes an amplified speaker, extra sensitive microphone, a large button, and wristband. It is designed to work from anywhere in or around the subscriber's home. The powerful speaker system and sensitive microphone work simultaneously for the subscriber to communicate with the monitoring center. When the alert button is pushed, it sends signals over the telephone line to the 24-hour medical alert monitoring center. Then, it opens a voice to voice channel between the subscriber and a highly trained person, ready to provide quick assistance. The center dispatches local medical personnel, ambulance, police, fire or other services as needed.
A Medical Alert or alarm system has dual communication lines. It sends messages to the family or friends of the patient, and also an SOS to summon aid immediately from the medical agency that constantly monitors his condition.
These Medical Alerts and alarm systems have three important parts: a medical alarm button embedded in the pendant of the necklace or the bracelet, an alarm console to dial for help, and a Medical Alert service that monitors and responds to the call for help.
The confidence that is gained from living independently is one of the greatest benefits of using medical alert solutions, as opposed to an assisted living situation. Most medical alert systems use a wrist worn monitor-transmitter, very similar to a wrist watch. A necklace-type monitor-transmitter is also available for those who prefer a less obtrusive design. If the user should find themselves in need of assistance, they can contact help immediately by pressing a single button on this transmitter.
Medical Alert Services in Florahome Florida
There are various medical alert systems offered by different organizations across the nation. It's beneficial to browse the reviews to determine what the best systems are. The majority of residential medical alarm systems appear similar on the outside. But when it comes to the equipment supplied and customer care quality, there are plenty of variations.
Businesses also vary in monthly rates and contract terms. So, it really is beneficial for you to first take a look around and consider the variations before purchasing a service. Below is a review on the best senior home alert systems in the nation currently.
By getting a good emergency alert system at home, when a senior citizen needs help urgently, he or she will be able to contact the right person to ask for help. In general, the seniors will be given a medical alert pendant. They can either wear the pendant around their neck or their wristband. If they accidentally fall down from the staircase and they can't reach the phone, they just need to press the button of the pendant to activate the alert system. When they press the button, a radio signal will be sent directly to a base unit connected to the telephone. The emergency response center will receive the alarm instantly. The officers on duty will talk to the seniors to provide help. They will take necessary action after evaluating the conditions of the seniors. If the condition is serious, a team of doctors will be sent immediately to provide treatment. At the same time, the response center will also help to contact the family members of the seniors to inform them the situation.
At some point, there's a real possibility that a senior will suffer from a fall. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, one-third of people over age 65 fall every year; falls are the leading fatal and nonfatal injury for this group. More than half of all falls occur in the home, according to the website NIHSeniorHealth.gov.
In Putnam County 32140, Medical alert systems can help seniors and people with disabilities remain in their own homes and are essential tools for independent living.
Elderly people, especially those who live alone, can greatly benefit from a medical alert system. The Medscope pendant and wristwatch transmitters are completely waterproof, so they can bring them along even on the shower. These can also transmit signals from up to 800 feet distance away from the main control unit. Disabled individuals or people with health conditions are also highly qualified for Medscope services and products. The company will even monitor two or more individuals for the same monthly fee with no extra charges.
Most medical alert companies in FL work in the same general way. They all have wearable medical alert devices. This usually refers to a wristband or necklace. They are often discreet and can be worn with anything. The pendant consists of a small transmitter that is activated when you push the button. This is what you do when you want to send a first alert to the monitoring center.
The monitoring center will then make contact with you over the speaker box console. This is your lifeline of your medical alert system . You have the opportunity to tell them you need an ambulance or if it is a false alarm. Of course if you are unable to speak, the monitoring center will treat this as an emergency situation and dispatch the paramedics immediately.
There are numerous things that you get from having a home medical emergency alert system installed. First of all, the home medical alert system will always be available to alert the professionals if something should happen to go wrong. This is not only a matter of convenience, it may actually be a matter of life and death and it is one of the easiest ways for you to ensure the safety of those that you care about. The second thing that you get from this system is peace of mind, knowing that those who are wearing the pendant are always going to be safe and that emergency help will always just be a button press away.

Subject description: Linux Multi Media Studio - Slacko - Exprimo
Had a go at this in Slacko 5.3.3 and Exprimo
Includes plugins for ZynAddSubFX synth and spectrumanalyzer
FluidSynth SF2 Player works - requires loading a Soundfont file
Sold as seen, but seems to be OK
Decided to post it without the qt dependency but
installing qt is easy
In Slacko load qt_all .sfs
or qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.7.3-i686 .pet from PPM
In Exprimo
qt-4.8.0-basic-with-qtwebkit-dpup.pet is in PPM
This means LMMS is not including qt libs
so avoids possible problems or conflicts with other programs.
LMMS for Slacko .pet (13 MB) download link :-
md5sum = 3a49cfef28cf542b3168403ef37e61cd
Compiled in Exprimo .pet (13 MB) download link :-
md5sum = 62031b901c3d0f8dc188492f7fdf7a1a
A couple of the more obscure plugins and features may be missing.
Give it a test and report any findings.

O.k., the Saluki version works, tried several of the demo songs, for some of them it needs the zynaddsubfx synth, seems to work fine in Saluki 0.2.3. For some weird reason the song editor was blank when first opening lmms, worked fine after closing and re-opening though.
I couldn't get the Slacko version to work, but that is because I wasn't able to use the .sfs version, as I have Slacko as a full install on one computer which already has a version of lmms and I shouldn't mess with it for now, and on another computer I tried it with a qt .pet without installing Puppy and it didn't work. It probably works with the .sfs or another .pet, but I could only find one slacko .pet in ibiblio, which didn't work.

Thanks for testing and reporting.
When first starting it there are a couple of steps. First it asks if you want to create the working directory and of course you answer yes. Then the preferences/options window opens and any changes do require a re-start of LMMS.
I compiled it in a Slacko with the "qt_all" .sfs from Slickpet loaded and once built and installed it was working in that.
I then made a fresh Slacko save-file and installed just the .pet of LMMS which I had made. I then installed .pet package "qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.7.3-i686" which is in PPM under Repo: puppy-slacko, category: Desktop and it was working in that. I think installation of qt requires a reboot, meaning that you have to at least create a save-file, may not be possible to test by running live with everything in RAM.

You don't need to reboot with Saluki.
Anyways, for Slacko 5.3.1 I had tried the qtfm-5.4-slacko.pet, which didn't say it required a reboot, but it also didn't work.
I retried it with the .pet you mentioned, made a save file and rebooted. It eventually worked as well.
So your .pets are fine, but both are missing the zynaddsubfx synth, which is required to properly play some of the demo songs, and I'm not sure they're available as .pets.

I see what you mean now about zynaddsubfx. I also got messages about another missing plugin needed for some of those samples/demos, spectrumanalyser I think it was.
There were some messages in the console during the compile process about optional plugins which would expand the functionality of LMMS. Not sure how useful it is without them. Maybe if you are creating and mixing your own audio tracks using the tools that are included it is OK.
I found zynaddsubfx as a separate program in sourceforge. It may be possible to compile and install it (and others) afterwards and the plugin for LMMS will be included. On the other hand, it may be that these programs need to be installed before compiling LMMS.
I had a go at this because it was requested and because I am trying to learn about compiling so I will try to investigate further, but the process was quite lengthy for LMMS so I need to find a day when I have some hours to spare. Maybe other compilers will offer up something with these plugins included.

I think synths can most likely be added later, otherwise I wouldn't see the use of a program like this, you can add samples, LADSPA effects, everything.
As far as I am concerned though, I was just saying that the zynaddsubfx was required for some demos, I don't personally use it and don't really care if it's there or not, but it would make it more "complete" for some people installing this, if you know what I mean.
Thanks a lot for these great .pets.

In Saluki I managed to compile ZynAddSubFX as a separate program but doing this does not insert the plugin into LMMS.
Looking at the LMMS compile process again I see that the build of the 2 optional plugins (zynaddsubfx and spectrumanalyzer) is looking for a DEV lib of FFTW3 which IS installed but it is not recognising it. This may be a bug or incompatibility in the code or something. There may be a fix but I haven't found it yet.
EDIT - sorted, but other errors aren't, see below.
I installed the files for FluidSynth which is one of the other optional plugins and that changed to "OK" telling me that this plugin would now be created if I complete the compile process again. This confirms to me that the build process for the other plugins should be working.

Hello sheepy
I haven't tried to compile LMMS in Lucid as yet. Obviously there are no guarantees that my Slacko version will work in other Puppies but the plugins are now working in Slacko except for one obscure one (stk mallets or something). Almost all of the samples and demos now load and play.
In Saluki I have managed to load the all the necessary libs and get cmake to report "OK" on creation of the plugins, but now I am getting strange errors near the end of the make sequence. This didn't happen in the Slacko build, nor did it happen when I built in Saluki without the plugins. I may have to set that aside for the time being. Attempting to compile in Lucid or Exprimo may be worth a try at some point. For now I'm afraid it is Slacko only, but at least Slacko is the current flagship state-of-the-art official Puppy.

Hi Oscar Talks !
Downloaded and installed Lmms Linux Multimedia Studio 0.4.13 on DpupExprimo .
Seems working so far . Did not test further .
But one thing for shure is missing That Sf2 player plugin .
Useless for me without that ( i think for the most other users to )
Somehow i got Lmms0.4.13 working on DpupExprimo by using a tricky procedure ( as far as i can remember ) ,
1. using lmms 0.4.8 sfs or pet installed them then
2. installing some lmms0. 4.13 debs from ubuntu lucid repos and installed them over 1.
Maybe there where some libpulse or libaudio missing too .i think i installed it (but cant exactly remember )
Worked without problem. But later i deinstalled it from Dpupexprimo . Now i am using lmms 0.4.13 on a Bodhi Linux installation .
I posted this text in the Request topic too .
But nevertheless thanks for your work and goodwill .

Hello Backi,
I am glad you know something about the FluidSynth Soundfont plugin.
I have uploaded new versions of LMMS with this plugin enabled so it does now appear in the list of instrument plugins and I can get the little GUI with keyboard to appear, but it does not seem to play any sounds (which the others do). Maybe it needs extra files or something.
The FluidSynth program installed on its own gives strange messages in Console like "expected abc but got xyz" so I am not sure about it and with so many other instrument plugins in LMMS and since the sample projects appear not to have used it at all I thought it might not be essential to spend any more time on it, but any advice appreciated.

Subject description: LMMS
Hi Oscar Talks !
The reason why the FluidSynth Soundfont plugin does not make a sound while pressing keyboard
is , you need to download sounndfonts files somewhere on the internet .there are a lot of them .
You can go to Lmms website you can find links for them .
on the FluidSynth Soundfont plugin are two options to choose "Files" and " Patchs " click "Files "
To go to the order where these Files and Patches are stored .
FluidSynth Soundfont plugin is the only instrument plugin which needs to optain these sounndfonts files
from external websites to work .
There are alot good advises on LMMS website and tutorials on youtube .

Hi Backi,
Yes, I was just doing some more research and found the answer, came here and saw that you have already posted the same answer.
I downloaded one of these Soundfont files ( FluidSynth version from here
) which contains the instrument banks, unpacked it, loaded it in to the field in the LMMS settings window and now the SF2 Player plugin makes all sorts of wonderful sounds.
Seems like everything is now working then, unless someone reports otherwise.

I attended my first Slippery Rock borough council meeting on May 21. What a ridiculous spectacle the council president and borough administrator presented.
I had decided I wanted to present a problem, but after observing the gestures and looks that passed between them — not to mention the berating comments made loud enough for all to hear concerning the other speakers — I chose to sit in silent disgust.
Obviously these two found great humor in and at the expense of the citizens speaking. At one point, the administrator was making fun of the questions and comments of one of the council members. Maybe she needs to stop watching the Butler County Commissioners' meetings on cable television and start thinking about how she looks.
That also goes for the council president. Shame on both of you. There's a circus north of Butler, too.
