Would you throw away a life filled with luxury and fame for a chance to bite the crap out of Paris Hilton? For one exotic pet, the choice was simple. Yes.
TMZ has obtained video of Paris' former pet kinkajou, Baby Luv, sinking her teeth into the heiress several times at the home of Howard Stern's favorite mafioso, Johnny Fratto, during an event for Beverly Hills Choppers. As Paris tried to pose for a few pictures with the raccoon-like critter on her shoulder, the frightened little beast (the kinkajou), which is known for having incredibly sharp claws and harmful saliva, repeatedly scratched and bit Hilton. A handler then grabbed the animal and put her back in her cage (the kinkajou).
Days later, Baby Luv sealed her fate when she bit Paris so badly, that she was rushed to a hospital emergency room for a tetanus shot (the kinkajou). Hilton gave Baby Luv the boot a short time after. Was it worth it?

I would also find it lame for Zoro to replace his current cursed sword for a sharper cursed sword... it would basically be telling the same story all over again.

anyways, when i said that oda placed hints about the samurai's existence in one piece, i meant that he included a bit of their history and culture just like he included elements from greek mythology, some arabic and egyptian influences and even mayan culture. oda includes myths, legends and historical facts and figures from around the world. he used zoro's character to show a bit of that samurai culture.

The most famous of cursed blade are Muramasa, blades made by Muramasa-clan of blacksmith. They have tendency where the owner of those Katana ends up injured or dead because of them.
The problem here, is that all named blade (meito) has it's own history. The story might not be curse related, but they have their own history that makes them identifiable to other. I mean come on, Shusui has history of be a dragon-slaying sword, I personally find that more impressive then a blood thirsty sword.
Both Wado Ichimoji and Shusui (Zoro's current swords) belongs to the next grade, 21 - O Wazamono. Other that confirmed is the Nidai Kitetsu.
Yubashiri that was destroyed in EL belongs to the the third tier, 50 - Ryo Wazamono. Other confirmed are Yamaoroshi and Kashu, both owned by Tashigi when last mentioned.
Sandai Kitetsu is of the lowest grade of Meito, the Wazamono grade. This grade has so far has no number limitation, the other known sword in this grade is Shigure, sgain, owned by Tashigi.
Interesting note is that the Wazamono classification is also used in real live in Japan for Katana makers based on and text from 1805 that rated 228 blacksmith, past and present. The classification and the limitation are the same as Oda used with 12-21-50. The only difference is that in real live Wazamono have a list of 80, while Oda didn't specify that number in OP. And the real life listed other 65 blacksmith as Mixed due to the mixed qualities of their blades.
The list is composed by blade testers of the court so is very comprehensive list and it still serve as benchmark for newly made blades or katanas that are newly discovered. The only fault of the list is that some historical famous Katanas from 9th to 15th century were deemed too valuable for test and their makers are thus not in the official grading.

Actually, taking into consideration what I said before about PH potentially being OP's Chernobyl..... maybe the dragon is actually a mutant?

the reason i didn't mention shuushui is because i find it impressive as well. but not because of its quality rather because of its history. aside from the fact that it's a dragon slaying katana, it was owned by ryuuma, a legendary samurai! among zoro's swords, shuushui and sandai kitetsu intrigue me the most.

^I dunno.... somehow, an island that may or may not be the site of a past nuclear disaster doesn't exactly scream "new crewmate"-material to me.
I do believe that it's pretty much guaranteed that the crew will gain their last two members in the NW, though. Maybe one of them will even be a native from the Wano country, now that we've started to learn more about the location.....

If Jinbei has been invited to join the Strawhats, doesn't that mean there is really only one spot left on Luffy's ship?
Anyway, I'm now looking forward to seeing the Wano country and it's fearsome samurai! I'm genuinely curious to see what it takes to scare away the marines!

We don't know for sure that Jinbei really is going to join the Strawhats, so it still could be two spots up for grabs.
As for Wano country it does sound like an interesting place, but there's no guarantee the place will be visited. After all if the marines don't go there what makes anyone think that pirates can?

The only thing I have problem with that is that the samurai would be in conflict with Zoro as far as character type. Even though Brook is a swordsman, he was really a different "class-type" compare to Zoro. Zoro, however, despise been called as such, is basically a Post-Sengoku Period samurai. Unless they you are talking about a character that always wears family/clan armor the character will share too much similarity with Zoro IMO.
Beside, with the mention of Wano country and how Zoro is a samurai himself. I beginning to think that Zoro's master and Wado Ichimoji are both related to Wano Country. As I said, you don't become a well-known great sword without any history and in this case, Wado Ichimoji, is still a much better sword than Sandai Kitesu.

Besides, Wano is not part of WG, which means that if Marine shows up, it can be considered an act of war and apparently Wano is strong enough country that WG is not willing to force their way against them.

meito are basically famous swords, their fame are usually related to the fame of their masters. the swords' fame don't only depend on their achievements but also on the ones who wielded them in life. it could be that kuina's family was a famous clan of swordsmen. but then again, every samurai clan had at least one meito, so it's not that special, well at least for me it doesn't seem so. during world war 2, several of these meito swords were confiscated from the japanese army. many of these swords are now lost. that's probably why the remaining meito in japan are so well-guarded and even deemed too priceless to sell. there are so few left. but unless oda reveals some great history behind wado ichimonji, it would remain as an heirloom sword that holds great sentimental value to zoro, nothing more.

True, Zoro, strictly speaking isn't a samurai. But that is speaking more to the period in history rather than applying definition. Dojos only appears after the Sengoku period, in which the laws forbidden peasants to bare arms and those who do are of nobility and samurai classes. Dojo master themselves are samurais who lost their prestige during that period. The only difference in that periods is that only disciples who are related to the ruling class can carry real katana so by being able to carry a katana Zoro would be viewed as a samurai as far as real life view would go if we are bringing it into discussion.
The question here is that by introducing a Wano country with Samurai system. Oda is essentially telling us that there is an origin where katana and kenjutsu is from.
So unless the samurai in Wano are not using Katana and have drastically different mentality in fighting compare to the real world counterpart, Zoro's dojo must have some connection to it.
As for Wado Ichimonji, why is it hard for you to consider is as a great sword? I agree that meito doesn't mean much in real world, but meito that is classified does.
Wado Ichimonji is not just a meito as you said, it's a meito with a classification associated to it in which Sandai Kitesu was rated TWO classes below it in term of quality.
Oda rated as it amongst 21-O Wazamono, which means that even if it is the worse of its bunch , it is still viewed as the 33rd strongest sword in the OP world. On the other hand, Sadain Kitesu, at best, is rated 84.
Also, Wado Ichimonji has shown to be able to take a blow from Mihawk with his Yoru one of the 12 from Saijo O Wazamono Class, that enough is to show the quality of that sword.
If anything, Sandai Kitesu is just another random meito. It just happen to have a curse history link to it and even then, it was rated below its two previous generation. It says something, when there are three Kitesu in OP world and this is rated as the least of the three.
Whether or not the sword has special ability is beyond the point right now otherwise Funkfreed would be consider a quality sword as well.
I mean really, you have to go there, for me, Sandai Kitestu right now is just a third-rated curse sword and nothing more unless Oda reveals more.

the way the muramasa blades resurfaced years later and how those who rebelled against the tokugawa regime took on these swords and even carried them openly, reminds me of how zoro disregarded the so-called curse and went ahead and used sandai kitetsu anyway.
it just seems incredibly unfair to me that just because of reputation swords would be deemed weak or unusable. so rankings don't really mean much to me. but then, in one piece this does not exactly apply. as for wado ichimonji, i guess it's because oda didn't give us (yet) a background about its history. i don't like the look of it too. sure, it's strong and quite possibly the most powerful sword zoro has ever owned, save for shuusui. but it looks like something a woman should wield, which is probably why i think the rightful owner should have been kuina. i don't think it really suits zoro's masculine and rough nature. this might change if we get to find out more about it though and when that happens i will stand corrected. perhaps it originally belonged to a famous onna bugeisha or woman samurai, who knows? it's just my opinion of course, don't worry about it.

Just to throw a small question into the zoro/new crew member from wana discussion: why is it, anyone seems to expect a potential crew member from wano has to be some kind of samurai and therefore collide with zoros niche in the crew?
Someone from Wano could easily be more.. special in his role and still fit well into the wano-theme.

Rhino Mocks Quick Reference
Last week I gave a presentation on mock objects for Software Professionals of Alaska. Once the PowerPointy hand-waving was out of the way, I illustrated the concepts with code examples using Rhino Mocks. I thought I was well-versed in Rhino Mocks before I started, but in the process of preparing the presentation I realized there was a lot that I didn't know or had forgotten. So I distilled all the main facts and features down into a 3-page quick reference of tables and example usage. You might argue that 3 pages makes it a "slow reference," but regardless I still think it's useful to see all the basics stripped down to the bare minimum. Much of the content came from the Rhino Mocks Documentation Wiki, so look there first if you need more details on a particular feature.
So without further ado, I present the Rhino Mocks 3.3 Quick Reference. It includes:
- the 3 different record/replay syntax styles
- 4 types of mocks, 7 if you include MultiMocks
- expectations and setup
- methods
- properties
- events
- exceptions
- delegates
- custom behavior
- assert messages
- ordered and unordered
- repetition
- the full set of argument constraints
Feedback is quite welcome. Enjoy!

10.24.12: The 12th ranked (NSCAA National poll) CCRI Women's soccer team traveled to Franklin, MA to play the regional rival Bulldogs of Dean College. The Lady Knights defeated the Bulldogs 3-1 to finish 5-1 in Region XXI play and captured the program's 12th consecutive New England Region XXI title. Also with the victory the Lady Knights' overall record improves to 9-4-2 on the season.
As play began it took the Lady Knights some time to get things in gear but still totally dominated the Bulldogs by pinning them in their end of the field for most of the first half of play. However, CCRI having numerous scoring opportunities could not seem to finish with the first half of play deadlocked at 0-0.
As the second half of play resumed the Lady Knights continued to dominate play pressuring Dean and creating numerous corner kick opportunities. In the 8th minute of play CCRI finally got on the board as they were awarded a free kick. Sophomore Co-Captain Cait McGarry (Warwick, RI) sent a beautiful ball into the 6 yard box area and sophomore midfielder Jessica Sandin (Warwick, RI) scored as she "flicked" the ball into the corner of the Dean goal with her head. However, 15 minutes later Dean's freshman forward Samantha O'Keefe was able to get through the CCRI defense scoring the game-tying goal on a breakaway knotting the score at 1-1. With 19 minutes remaining in the game Cait McGarry blasted a shot from outside the Dean 18 yard box hitting the inside of the top crossbar and into the net giving the Lady Knights a 2-1 advantage. As play continued on, CCRI continued to dominate play creating numerous scoring opportunities keeping the Bulldogs on their heels. With a little more than 12 minutes remaining in the contest CCRI was awarded another corner kick. Cait McGarry, as she always does sent in a beautiful ball to freshman Paige Oram (Burrillville, RI) converted for the Lady Knights giving them a 3-1 lead and that's how it would end.
Head Coach Dennis Grassini commented after the game, "Coach Bannan and I are proud of our ladies as they stayed focused throughout the entire game pressuring the Dean defense all day long. We told them at the half that if they remained patient then things would fall into place for them. Co-Captain Cait McGarry just gives us such great free kicks that are usually right on giving our team a lot of scoring opportunities. She had a goal and two assists today figuring in all three of our goals. Sophomore Co-Captain Jess McCaughey was assigned the task of 'man-marking' scoring threat Samantha O'Keefe twice this season and she did an outstanding job for us. She couldn't be faulted for the breakaway goal by O'Keefe earlier in the second half as there was a missed mark in the midfield that allowed the breakdown to occur. We are excited that our team will now move on to district play in Rochester, NY on Saturday, November 3rd as we will face the winner of the New Jersey Region XIX."
The Lady Knights will wait to find out who their opponent will be Saturday November the 3rd when they will travel to New Jersey to play in the Northeast District Tournament between the champions of Regions III, XV, XIX and Region XXI - CCRI.

Truth be told, despite spending my childhood in Minnesota, I now live in the desert, and the only ice I see is in my drinking glass. After studying art works made with ice as a central material, I am struck by a number of repeated inclinations by a number of artists. Much of the works I present here demonstrate that the transitory and temporal qualities of ice lend it to meaningful works about the body, time, climate, a sense of place and elements of endurance. Though this list is in no way exhaustive, artists included are: Marina Abramovic, Jay Atherton and Cy Keener, Nele Azavedo, Kirsten Justesen, Greatest Hits (a collective), Julie Rrap and Tavares Strachan.

I haven't seen Dallas do one thing to us that would scare me. What else can they do to beat us that they haven't tried before? It's like us trying to beat San Antonio, no matter what we do they just are a horrible matchup for us. I believe that Dallas is the same way. Hell when most of our players had an off game, in the Warrior's first playoff game, on the road and we still won by 12. I truly believe that the Mavs will be very lucky to even win one game.
yeah, but the off game argument is neatly negated by the mavs having an offgame too (35% from the field by 47% team) and the fact that Monta may well stay silent and cold the entire series, as he is young and seemed very nervous in game one. I think the Warriors will win this series, in fact I bet money on it before game one, but I don't see them sweeping. The Mavericks aren't a 67 win team for nothing, and are not pushovers. That being said, I wouldn't be shocked if the Warriors won game 2 and swept, just not what I expect

NC governors could offer higher rewards to solve crimes
NC governors could offer higher rewards to solve crimes
There soon could be more financial inducements at the disposal of North Carolina's governor to help capture fugitives and solve serious crimes.
The General Assembly has given final approval to a bill to increase the maximum reward money a governor could give to someone who catches a notorious suspect or provides information leading to someone's arrest and conviction.
State law currently allows the governor to offer rewards of up to $10,000. The bill approved Monday night and heading to Gov. Pat McCrory's desk raises the amount to $100,000.
Sen. Shirley Randleman told the Senate that law enforcement officials asked for the higher maximum reward, which has not changed since the 1960s.

Big China Oil Firm Explains Its Strategy
Sinopec Chairman Fu Chengyu said the enterprise's expansion strategy is focused on joint ventures rather than takeovers of Western companies. The WSJ's Simon Hall explains why this method contrasts with other state-controlled Chinese oil companies.

No trip to Japan is complete without a stop in Hiroshima.
Nearly seven decades after Aug. 6, 1945 when it became the first wartime target of an atomic bomb, Hiroshima today is a modern industrial centre with harrowing remembrances of horrors past.
Seeing the Atomic Bomb Dome - the shell of the 1915 industrial promotion hall that stood almost directly beneath the bomb's aerial explosion point - is unforgettable. So is the nearby arched Cenotaph, a sculpture honouring those who died immediately or later as a result of burns or radiation exposure. Below the arch is a stone chest housing a register of more than 220,000 of their names.
Also moving is the Children's Peace Monument, dedicated to the youngest bomb casualties. It depicts a girl - who was two at the time of the attack - and a crane. The statue "re-tells" her belief that if she could fold a thousand paper cranes she could survive her leukemia. Unfortunately, she died in 1955.
However it's the Peace Memorial Museum, a vast repository of historical remnants and movingly presented personal tales, where visitors spend the most time.
The East Building reviews modern Japanese history, starting with the 1868 Meiji restoration, its rapid industrialization, the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-1905, the rise of militarism, and the wars in China that preceded the Second World War.
Fascinating artifacts include a letter from Albert Einstein to President Franklin Roosevelt discussing the possible use of the bomb; and explanations about how Hiroshima became the initial target.
One of several cities under consideration, Hiroshima was ultimately picked due to the very clear sky over the city on the morning of the bombing, and the fact Hiroshima had suffered relatively little previous bombing damage. This ensured the specific impact of the bomb would be easier to discern.
But the heart of the museum is the bombing itself and terrible aftermath. Photographs and documents explain attempts at saving as many residents as possible. Seeing gut-wrenching remembrances - including charred sandals, watches, a melted tricycle, fused coins and buttons, and other metal pieces - sears your memory. Also here are many stories of those who survived, some for a brief time, some for decades.
All of this makes the events of that morning as real and as horrendous as most visitors can endure. Expect to spend at least two hours here.
You'll also want to visit the reconstruction of the circa 1590s five-stories-tall Hiroshima Castle tower.
This recreation replaced an imposing edifice that stood until the atomic bomb attack. Reopened in 1958, it now details the castle's history, life within the castle, the growth of Hiroshima as it expanded from the castle site, conflicts between Samurai and townspeople.
Also here are displays of armour and other weaponry.
Then there is the quite compact and high-quality Hiroshima Museum of Art. Opened in 1978, its prime draw is its largely 19th-century collection of French impressionists, including works by Manet, Monet, Renoir, Seurat, Toulouse-Lautrec, Pissaro, Cezanne, Gauguin, Matisse, Signac and Van Gogh.
Other important artists whose paintings are here include Pablo Picasso, Marc Chagall and the lesser-known (in the West) but fascinating Japanese painter Leonard Foujita. The museum also shows its extensive collection of Japanese contemporary art.
For a complete change of pace don't miss Miyajima Island.
Reachable via a tourist boat docked near the Atom Bomb dome, or by an hour-long commuter train/ferry combination, this is a special, once-sacred spot that's become world famous due to images of its Great Torii (gate).
Depending on the tides, it stands either in shallow waters or on a beach when it is easily accessed by foot.
Photographers flock here, particularly early in the morning or late afternoon to capture images of this iconic vermilion four-legged structure, which stands in front of the Itsukushima Shrine.
While the present 53-foot-tall gate was erected in 1875, predecessors have been here since the 11th century. The actual shrine, the same colour as the torii, debuted in the late 6th century. Repeatedly repaired, and offering little access to any interiors, the circa 16thcentury structures are basically viewed by wending along outside walkways.
Miyajima's many other sights include the History and Folklore Museum, which fills the former 19th-century home of a soy sauce merchant. Here you can see the tools and envision the lifestyle of a mid-level tradesman.
Also, while the heart of Miyajima can get quite crowded, things thin out rather quickly as you ascend the slopes of Mount Misen.
En route, a favourite stopping point is the Daisho-in Temple with its many buildings.
Back at sea level, there are many narrow streets to wend through, tame deer to navigate around, and plenty of shops and eateries - including several selling huge, tasty, roasted oysters. Seafood also dominates menus in modern downtown Hiroshima.
Like most major Japanese cities, Hiroshima boasts its own brightly neon-lit entertainment district packed with restaurants and nightclubs.
Nagarekawa and Yagenbori are the area's main streets.
And, particularly for North American fans who've never seen Japanese baseball, the major league Hiroshima Toyo Carp play in a lovely outdoor stadium that's close to the main rail station.
It takes three hours to reach Hiroshima by train from Osaka, between three and four hours from Kyoto, and fiveand-a-half hours from Tokyo. Hiroshima is also four-and-a-half to five hours by train from Nagasaki.
On Aug. 9, 1945, Nagasaki was the last city to be hit by an atomic bomb.
It, too, has an impressive memorial park and museum.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – MIT softball seniors Anna Christensen (Vernon Hills, Ill.) and Leah Alpert (Needham, Mass.) were named to the Capital One Academic All-District as announced by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) on Thursday afternoon. With their selection to the first team, the two Engineers will now be placed on the national ballot and will be eligible for selection to the Capital One Academic All-America team, to be announced later this month.
This season, the senior captains helped lead the Engineers to their first post-season appearance in the history of the MIT softball program. With a record of 19-13 so far, the Cardinal and Gray tied the Institute record for most wins in a season. The last time MIT won this many games was back in 1984.
So far this season, Christensen has played in 31 of the 32 games and has hit .315 with 17 runs in 92 at-bats and has a fielding percentage of .928. She is currently ranked second on the team in runs and holds the MIT record for most games played in a career with 110, starting all but one in her four years on the field. A two-time New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) Academic All-Conference honoree, Christensen carries a 4.8 GPA in mechanical engineering. Off the field, she is co-president of Network of Sloan Undergraduate Women and a freshmen leadership program counselor.
Alpert is a two-time CoSIDA Academic All-District honoree, after having been named to the first team last year. Before her, the last softball player to be nominated was Leah Bogstead in 2008. This season, Alpert is one of a small handful of Engineers who have played and started all 32 games. She has hit .344 with 14 runs in 93 at-bats and has a fielding percentage of .949. A two-time NEWMAC Academic All-Conference honoree, Alpert carries a 5.0 GPA with a degree in computer science and engineering. She has held internships with Google, Raplead and Khan Academy, the last of which will turn into a full-time position upon graduation. She is also a member of the intramurals executive committee and a chair of Athleague.
Christensen and Alpert joined Wellesley College's Lauren Goldfarb as the only athletes from the NEWMAC represented on the All-District team.
MIT will return to Springfield College for the second weekend in a row this Saturday, May 4 for game six of the New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) against Wheaton College at 12:00 p.m.

CLEVELAND, June 6 (UPI) -- Cuyahoga County Executive Ed FitzGerald proposed Thursday that the 20 percent of the county's sin tax dedicated to the upkeep of the city's sports stadiums be contingent on wins.
The county recently approved a 20-year extension of the sin tax -- it taxes alcohol and cigarettes -- which is expected to raise $260 million to pay for the maintenance for the stadiums for the Cleveland Browns, Cavaliers, and Indians.
The teams are not known for their winning records and FitzGerald thinks this is the answer to that problem.
"We love these teams, we're loyal to these teams and we're committed to maintaining these facilities. But we can also try to demand to get something a little bit better than we've gotten over the past 50 years," said FitzGerald.
Deadspin pointed out many of the plan's pitfalls. The article claims winning can't be correlated to economic benefit for the public.
FitzGerald hasn't suggested any method of calculating the payout in relation to performance. He mentioned a "fan council" who would decide the distribution. This might make the Cleveland teams put an extra kick in their practices.

Todd Hoover, MD needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 129 designs submitted by 30 freelance designers.
Better Medicine
We build local holistic practitioner communities through live events throughout the U.S. and provide a web-based platform to join the practitioners in a social-hosted (facebook style) network by geographical community.
Our primary focus includes:
-- community building
-- creating collaborative opportunities for holistic practitioners
-- hosting the most reliable and authoritative resource of alternative/holistic research and information for practitioners and the public
-- building a comprehensive, and user friendly referral directory of alternative practitioners
-- validation of the full spectrum of health care -- what is the best treatment for any given problem including all alternatives
We seek to create a Better Medicine for all consumers through crowd-sourced data generated by a broad community of holistic medicine practitioners
Two primary audiences:
1. The Practitioners
(includes complementary physicians, acupuncturists, chiropractors, nutritionists, massage therapists, homeopaths, etc)
they often work in isolation, yet feel a kindred connection to similar minded practitioners. They tend to be mavericks, highly committed to helping people, underpaid, altruistic, and isolated.
2. The Public
Many patients who are interested in alternative therapies, but do not know what or who to trust. They do not know what type of treatment may be helpful for their problems. And they are looking for a reliable, authoritative source of information to guide their quest for the best treatment.
A secondary audience:
1. Mainstream Medicine
While our business is not focused on this audience, we maintain that all of medicine is part of the spectrum of healing. We look to provide increased credibility and validity to alternative therapies by providing a repository of research information generated by the holistic practitioner community itself rather than from one potentially biased source. Mainstream medicine requires professionalism, reliability and validity.
We need a striking logo that captures:
1. Connecting Community
2. Holistic Medicine as a part of the spectrum of medicine
3. Reliability / Validity / Credibility / Professionalism
Creativity is encouraged as long as the primary ideas above are reflected.
The logo can be graphic only, or include Better Medicine in the design.
We like traditional symbols that help support the professional nature of medical practice, but do not want to be too tied to the restrictive nature of standard medicine. Airy-fairy, new age designs are discouraged.
i.e. We like the caduceus, but in a somewhat more stylized form that implies the expansiveness of alternative therapies (see attachment)
One idea was to have the staff of aesclapius held by 2 or 3 different hands symbolizing community (but we are open to others)
Color scheme is open, but consideration should be given to red/white/blue to reflect the national nature of the site, or colors commonly used in medicine: green, blue with a counterpoint color of yellow/orange or other
Design should be Clean appearing and be able to be translated to single color on white for economical reproduction.

Buy Freedom Sounds In Dub £8.50
Empty Vessel Dub Sample!
What the press say:
This is one of two more splendid re-issues from Blood & Fire which outline the progress of Jamaican dub technique from its inception at the hands of genius engineer Osbourne Ruddock, aka King Tubby. The set comprises dub mixes Tubby did for producer Bertram Brown's Freedom Sounds label, featuring the Soul Syndicate session crew working with roots singers such as Prince Alla, Earl Zero and Philip Frazer, who must have counted themselves lucky to retain one or two lines on a track before Tubby completely revised the internal architecture of the music according to his own sense of space.

rpm default application & set monkey to run automaticall
I need to know which program to set as the default for a rpm file. I know that they will (SuSE 9.2) just run like an .exe in Windows, but I can't seem to get Pup to do it.
Also, I am trying to set up puppy as a headless server, so I need to have the TkVNC and Monkey run at startup. I also need to configure GRUB to default boot Pup in the event of a power failure.
Thanks, I know these are all pretty basic questions but I have been finding answers for lots of other distros and none that pertain (at least to my untrained eye) to the pup.
Sidenote: Which, if any, distro is the pup based on? I.E. - when googling up answers should I click on the Redhat or Debian based hints?
5 questions in one post, I am going for the record...

Post subject: Re: rpm default application & set monkey to run automati
As far as I remember there is a Dotpup that can decompress rpm and debian files (that DOES NOT mean) they can be used on Puppy - sorry about the shouting . . .
(under system utils)
I am trying to set up Monkey can not help you with that or the VNC . . .
. . .someone else?
Puppy is not based on any distro. Barry went back to the beginning and created it from scratch. At the moment it is compiled on Vector Linux (Puppy is developing its own compile dotPup (I hope)
To find answers in Puppy use Start / help
use Barrys Web site
use the old forum and search
use this forum and search
use the wiki
check out if anyone is on IRC
Good luck.

Post subject: VNC - Q
I'm not sure but I think that Puppy VNC is client.
If your using Puppy as the headless server, you'd need a VNC server.
I don't know if they have one already in Puppy, or as an addon
package, you'll have to look.

Post subject: Start automatically
I admit it, I am a Windoze user. I am very good at making Windoze do whatever I want. Thus, Linux in general is flabergasting. Windoze will dance for me, while Linux just steps on my feet and goes home with someone else...
So, what I need is a quick pointer on how to make things start automatically. I am aware that it is called "daemon", but how to do it is a mystery. I have got it to work several times, but that was from application specific help files (i.e. abyss web server help files) and that was on Libranet, SuSE, DSL, or Kubuntu. I really like puppy and I want to use it for the server, but I am getting a little discouraged.
Monkey's help files are very poor, and I am lost. So far, I am about 5 minutes ahead of when I first dot-pupped monkey.
I have also tried unsucessfully to install RealVNC server on the puppy box. Does this work with puppy? If not, is there a VNC server that I can use. The old monitor that I am using for the puppy server is making my eyes go all wooglie
Thanks for the help so far.

i made a Monkey package that starts from a rox appdir wrapper
basically, it's a gui ... there are buttons to click ... which doesn't work well from scripts (you can start the gui from a script, but then you would need to click buttons)
it isn't difficult to start Monkey (or Nullhttpd)
first, make sure you run Monkey from the roxapp at least once (this copies files to /root/monkey)
if you look in the Monkey roxapp (right click the icon and click Look Inside) you can use a text editor to read AppRun
basically, to start Monkey as user root, you would type or put this line in a script:
/root/monkey/bin/monkey -c /root/monkey/conf
to start Monkey as user nobody (with limited powers), you would probably make an executable script something like this:
chown -R nobody:nobody /root/monkey/
/root/monkey/bin/monkey -c /root/monkey/con
and run the script as user nobody like this:
su -c /root/monkey/bin/myscript - nobody &
if you put your script in /root.monkey/bin and called it myscript
you could probably do it all on one line, maybe using braces or something ... this is a crude way to do it, but it works (i forget exactly why i did it that way)
you might be able to start Monkey (or httpd) from /etc/rc.d/rc.local ... if not, it might start from /etc/profile ... i don't think it's an X program, but if it is, you would start it from /root/.xinitrc
to stop Monkey, you could use
killall monkey
there are some help files in the Monkey roxapp ... right click the Monkey icon and click Help

Linux is different. It is a great wrench to change partners and many of flit like bees amongst a meadow of flowers. I spent a two years in a transition period, where I would spend a week in Linux and then run back thankfully to the devil I knew - Windows. My reason for learning Linux (and Puppy is designed to be familiar to Windows users) is simply this. I learnt to use Windows 3.11, it was discontinued. I learn to use Windows 95 and it is discontinued. I used XP and expect it will be discontinued when Longhorn arrives. Programs and OS are just repackaged (a standard marketing ploy). Little by little the commands of the shell and the scripting become acessible. The knowledge does not seem to be wasted. It is my belief that where possible we should be familiar to the majority of users (windows users) and where necessary compliant and familiar to 'standards'. You can not just be a Linux expert, like you were with Windows. They are different.
My transition is documented here

text: Where is 61% coming from? According to LSAC their bar passage was 96% http://www.lsac.org/LSACResources/Publications/2011OG/aba4127.pdf That doesn't mean Phoenix is a great school or bad school. Whether someone passes the bar or not is largely up to the individual. Berkeley had an 87% bar passage rate last year. 28 Berkeley grads failed the bar first time around does that make Berkeley a bad school? No it doesn't those people probably didn't do the requisite studying and will likely pass the second time around. Michelle Obama a Harvard Grad failed the bar the first time around and Harvard is not a bad school. She is not doing to bad for herself either despite failing. The Bar is something you need to start a legal career, but there are plenty of atrocious licensed attorneys that passed the first time. There are also many great lawyers and judges that failed first and even second time around. If you attend Phoneix or any ABA school odds are you will pass the bar. Passing the bar does not mean you will get a job and that is a whole other struggle. Even if you get a job you will need to perform and perform well to keep it. Law is a competitive profession and no matter where you go it is a long road. It certainly helps to go to Harvard, Yale etc, but 99% of the population can't get into the Ivy League. Going to a non-elite school you will have an uphill battle ahead of you, but it is a winnable battle if your willing to put the time and effort in.

that one's been bugging me too. what about reload?
Where is the text on the clue? If it were the inside cover, there would still be some writing on it (be it general instructions or specific instructions), but on that clue, at least half (horizontally) is empty. The clue-holder is solid-red, so it couldn't be that.
is it sad that I got a job today and when they asked me when I could start I told them anytime after tomorrow because I was afraid they would make me come in and miss the finale
I'm pretty sure that what Rachel is holding is part of the inside portion of the roadblock clue. T A R F L I E S has a sample of the inside of the clue looks like and one side has just the word ROAD at the top. See:
Even if Nate & Jenn were in the final 3 they would not win.Here is why: I'm guessing, but it looks like in that mystery task the teams have to gather various items that they will recognize from the race. Maybe they have to put them below the globe disk that matches in which hemisphere they encountered that item.So, for Nate & Jenn: The Donkey !!! No way. It's not going anywhere!

Demontrell Lollie and Kegrick Madison enrolled at Arkansas Baptist College at the semester and will join the Buffaloes for spring practice, starting Monday.
Lollie, a 2012 Bastrop High graduate, originally signed with Dodge City (Kansas) Community College, but instead enrolled at the University of Arkansas-Monticello where he was redshirted.
Lollie is listed as a slot receiver and return specialist at Arkansas Baptist.
Madison signed with Lon Morris (Texas) College in 2011. He redshirted as a true freshman and sat out last season as the 158-year-old private institution closed amid financial troubles in August of 2012.
Madison will be evaluated at linebacker and rover during the spring.
"I'll basically be doing the same thing I was doing in high school," Madison said.
Lollie and Madison are both classified as freshmen.
Arkansas Baptist expects to have four former Rams on its roster in the fall. Running back Xavier Robinson will join Lollie and Madison on the practice field Monday. Defensive lineman Cray Robinson, a senior for the Rams last season, plans to enroll for summer classes in June.
"We're trying to bring something new to Arkansas Baptist," Lollie said.
As a senior at Bastrop, the versatile Lollie caught 16 passes for 335 yards and two touchdowns, rushed 16 times for 93 yards and one TD, returned four punts for an 18.7-yard average and ran back three kickoffs for 18.0 yards.
Helping the Rams reach the Class 4A state quarterfinals as a junior, Lollie ranked third in the state in punt returns with a 23.5-yard average and two touchdowns. He also caught eight passes for 203 yards and three scores.
Earning first-team All-District 2-4A honors as a senior, Madison recorded 68 tackles, 11 tackles for loss, five sacks (one for a safety), four fumble recoveries, two forced fumbles and three pass breakups as a senior. He returned a fumble for a touchdown and one of his forced fumbles resulted in a defensive score.
As a junior, Madison was credited with 47 tackles and five tackles for loss.
Xavier Robinson rushed for 837 yards and 14 touchdowns on 144 carries en route to earning honorable mention All-State recognition as a senior during the 2011 campaign.
Cray Robinson notched 39 tackles, seven stops for negative yardage, and forced three fumbles last season. As a junior, he produced 36 tackles, four tackles for loss, 1.5 sacks and caused two fumbles.
Arkansas Baptist is a four-year school, but its athletic teams compete at the junior college level.

Niemi, Sharks blank previously hot Red Wingsby Eric Gilmore
SAN JOSE -- Another night, another shutout for San Jose Sharks goaltender Antti Niemi.
Niemi stopped 27 shots for his second shutout in as many nights as the Sharks beat the Detroit Red Wings 2-0 at HP Pavilion on Thursday.
Niemi, who made 22 saves in a 4-0 victory against Anaheim on Wednesday, posted consecutive shutouts for the third time in his NHL career, all as a Shark. Two seasons ago, he blanked the Boston Bruins on Feb. 5, 2011, and the Washington Capitals three days later, both on the road. Last season he shut out the Calgary Flames on the road, just before the All-Star break. A week later, he shut out the Columbus Blue Jackets at home.
This marked the first time in his career that Niemi posted shutouts on back-to-back nights and the first time that's happened in Sharks history.
"I felt good after last night," Niemi said. "I thought I was able to be real patient and wait for the pucks and then react. I wasn't cheating or expecting anything else. I was just reading the play. That's a confidence thing for sure."
Joe Pavelski and Brent Burns scored for the Sharks, who won their third straight game -- their longest streak since winning seven straight to open the season -- and have won the first two games on their seven-game home stand.
Pavelski and Burns each scored a goal for the third straight game, helping the Sharks climb into sole possession of seventh place in the Western Conference with 38 points, two points ahead of the St. Louis Blues and one behind Detroit.
"I think we're pretty confident in our team," Burns said. "Obviously it's been a little bit of a tough time there, a little bit of a dip. We have great players on this team. Sometimes you can start to feel that lag. I think it's been good. We're starting to realize we have a great team here. We can do great things if we believe in ourselves. We have to play that certain style and we've been doing that these last few games."
Detroit's three-game winning streak came to the end, but the Red Wings finished their four-game road trip with a 3-1-0 record, grabbing six of a possible eight points.
Red Wings goaltender Jimmy Howard stopped 22 of 24 shots.
"It was a real good road trip and we did a lot of good things tonight," coach Mike Babcock said. "There wasn't a lot to choose between the teams. We just had a tough break.
"I thought we were in good shape in the first period and we got better and better. In the end we didn't get enough going offensively."
Pavelski gave the Sharks a 1-0 lead at 18:59 of the first period with his 10th goal of the season. He scored for the third straight game since being switched from a second-line wing to a third-line center. Linemates Ryane Clowe and TJ Galiardi each earned an assist on the goal.
Pavelski won a battle for the puck along the boards behind the net and scored on a wraparound shot that bounced off Detroit defenseman Niklas Kronwall's skate and past Howard.
"Obviously our whole team hasn't got many of those," Pavelski said of the fortunate bounce. "It's one of those things when they come, you welcome them."
Kronwall and the Red Wings, who had their five-game road winning streak snapped, were on the wrong side of that bounce.
"We had some turnovers," Kronwall said. "That's it. I think it just went off my skate and straight in. Going back for years, and in the playoffs, we know each other so well that there is not a lot of room out there. At the same time, we gave up a couple. I didn't think we had a lot of energy in the third."
After a scoreless second period, Burns gave the Sharks some breathing room at 2:07 of the third. The goal was Burns' fifth of the season; all of them have come since he was switched from a defenseman to a right wing on March 12 against St. Louis. He has 10 points in nine games as a top-line forward.
Joe Thornton earned the assist after taking the puck away from defenseman Brian Lashoff deep in Detroit's zone and passing the puck to Burns, who ripped a shot over Howard's glove and inside the right post.
"I think we might have been lacking a little bit [of] scoring up front," Thornton said of Burns' switch to forward. "I think when [Burns] came up, it definitely gave us another forward capable of scoring and kind of turned the tides for us."
Both teams played a remarkably clean game. The first and only penalty of the game didn't come until just 9:16 remained when Sharks forward TJ Galiardi was called for hooking. For the first time in Sharks history, an opponent went an entire game without a penalty. The one penalty and two penalty minutes set Sharks records for fewest combined penalties and penalty minutes.
"Fast, hard, fairly clean," Sharks coach Todd McLellan said of the game. "There weren't situations where either coach was up in arms because of a missed call. The officials did a good job as well."
The Red Wings had scored at least one power-play goal in eight straight games before Thursday, but the Sharks killed that power play with Niemi making a handful of saves, including on a shot from Henrik Zetterberg from close range.
"When we have had little mistakes, he's bailed us out," Pavelski said of Niemi. "He made some big saves there. That on Zetterberg, toward the end of the power play, that's a huge save at that moment."
Niemi improved to 9-2-2 all-time against Detroit, a team he often faced while playing for the Chicago Blackhawks and one that usually brings the best out of him.
"I think just they've been one of the top teams for a long time so they have lots of skill," Niemi said. "I think it's been a rivalry here against them, too. I think it's fun playing them. It's always a little bigger game against them."
When the Sharks and Red Wings met on Feb. 28 in San Jose, they combined for just two goals with Detroit winning 2-1 in a shootout. The rematch had much the same feel with neither team able to generate much offense or good scoring chances.
"It was tight both ways," Zetterberg said. "There were not a lot of chances both ways. We got halted on the rush, but we also kept them to the outside. The first goal was off a skate, and the second one was a giveaway. That's about it."
Red Wings forward Johan Franzen left the game in the second period with a lower-body injury and did not return. Babcock had no update on his condition.
"We'll go back and take a look at it," Babcock said. "We don't know much."
Red Wings associate coach Tom Renney, who attended a memorial service for his mother Thursday afternoon in British Columbia, was not with the team.
