Diese Seite erklärt, wie man mit dem FreeRunner von einer (Micro-)SD Karte statt vom eingebauten NAND-Flash-Speicher bootet. Die SD-Karte teilt sich einen Bus mit der GPU, wodurch die Performance beeinträchtigt wird.
ACHTUNG!!! | Das Booten von SDHC kann derzeit zu Problemen führen (siehe unten).
Booten von SDHC
Vorweg eine Warnung. Im Linux-Kernel existiert ein Bug der dazu führen kann, daß die Partitionstabelle der SDHC-Karte während des Suspend zerstöhrt wird. Ticket: #1802. Thread: [1] Am Besten legt man sich ein Backup der Partitionstabelle an, um sie im Notfall schnell wieder zur Verfügung zu haben.
So funktionierts
U-boot spielt auf dem NEO eine ähnliche Rolle wie der Bootloader 'grub' auf einem PC. U-boot läd ein Kernelimage in den Speicher und übermittelt dem Kernel anschießend eine Reihe vom Parametern. Diese Parameter enthalten unteranderem den Ort an dem sich das Rootfilesystem befindet.
Wenn der Kernel bootet, wird die Hardware initialisiert und das Rootfilesystem gemountet. Anschließed startet der Kernel "/sbin/init", welche die restlichen Boot-Up-Sequenzen enthält. (z.B. Startbildschirm und Fortschrittsbalken).
Diese Sequenz ist die gleiche, unabhängig davon ob das Gerät von Built-In-Flash oder von der SD-Karte bootet. Die Unterschiede sind, wie der Kernel geladen wird, und welches Device als Rootfilesystem gemountet ist.
Menu Entries
U-boot menu entries are defined by environment variables named "menu_X" (where X is a number). The value of the environment variable is a string "<label>:<commands>", where <label> is the text shown on the screen, and <commands> is a sequence of u-boot commands (delimited by ';' characters) to be executed when the menu item is selected. When entering a string of commands, the ';' and '$' characters must be backslash-escaped ("\;" and "\$").
Loading the Kernel
A pair of u-boot commands must be used to load the kernel from SD. First is "mmcinit", which will cause u-boot to detect the card. Next is a command to load a file into memory - either "fatload" or "ext2load" depending on whether the kernel is on a FAT filesytem or an ext2/ext3 filesystem.
The command syntax is:
fatload mmc 1:<p> 0x32000000 <filepath> ext2load mmc 1:<p> 0x32000000 <filepath>
where <p> is the partition number, and <filepath> is the path to the file that is to be loaded.
|NOTE: The "ext2load" command is broken on u-boot binary earlier than "20080723", including the one shipped with the first batch of FreeRunners, are affected by bug #799. If you update your U-Boot and kernel packages you can use direct ext2 / 3 boot all in one partition.
|WARNING: Be careful when updating u-boot on a Neo1973 as there is a risk of bricking the device (unless you have a debug board). This is not an issue for the FreeRunner as it has a protected copy of u-boot in the NOR flash
|NOTE: U-Boot supports SDHC protocol on the FreeRunner only: on the Neo1973, u-boot is unable to access SDHC cards (4G or larger). The kernel does have SDHC support on Neo1973, so it is possible to have the root filesystem on SDHC and the kernel on NAND flash to work around it.
Root Filesystem Parameters
The contents of the "bootargs" environment variable are passed to the kernel. Bootargs is a space-delimited list of "name=value" definitions. The items relevant to SD-booting are "root", "rootfstype", and "rootdelay".
For example, the following parameters would tell the kernel to mount the third partition of the SD-card as an ext3 filesystem:
root=/dev/mmcblk0p3 rootfstype=ext3 rootdelay=5
The "rootdelay" parameter allows time for the card to be properly initialized before it is accessed.
Note that the kernel must have built-in support (i.e. not a module) for the filesystem specified in "rootfstype". The default Openmoko kernel configs as of 2008-07-17 have built-in support for both ext2 and ext3. You can check the available filesystems with the Linux command
less /proc/filesystems
It is not possible to use VFAT for the root filesystem.
ext2 vs. ext3
Opinion is divided on whether it is better to use ext2 or ext3 for the root filesystem. Ext3 in general is a superior choice, because it is a journalled filesystem and so does not require a long 'fsck' (file system check) after an unclean shutdown. However, if used on a flash device that does not support wear-leveling then ext3 may cause premature wear on the blocks of the card where the journal is stored. SD cards are supposed to support wear leveling, but this can not be guaranteed for all vendors.
Acquiring a tarfile rootfs
There are two ways of acquiring an rootfs image as a tar archive. You can either build it on your own using the OpenEmbedded Distribution. Or download it from the openmoko buildhost.
Possibility 1: Downloading the rootfs/kernel tar from the Openmoko buildhost
Choose and find the rootfs/kernel combo you would like to install at Latest Images.
Possibility 2: Building a tarfile distribution using OpenEmbedded
Another possibility to get a tar archive of your rootfs is to build it on your own with the OpenEmbedded environment.
To build OM-2007.2 you need to add "tar" to the image types in your local.conf:
IMAGE_FSTYPES = "jffs2 tar"
After that build a new image by issuing:
bitbake openmoko-devel-image
or if you are using the MokoMakefile:
make openmoko-devel-image
After the process finished there will be a Openmoko-....tar in the deploy directory, which is your newly created rootfs archive
Possibility 3 : Convert a jff2 image to a tarfile
See Userspace root image for more details on how to access contents of a jffs2 image.
Prepare the SD card
Partioning the SD card
u-boot pre-2008-07-23 can only boot from FAT filesystems; if you update u-boot, you can boot from FAT or ext2. This example shows how to do an example partition using the fdisk utility. Feel free to use the partitioning utility of your liking for this task.
fdisk /dev/mmcblk0
Note: The device file might differ on your system. If you are not sure about it, you may check your kernel message log by calling dmesg to find the correct device.
We will now create a 8 MB partition for our kernel and another one for the rootfs which will take up all the remaining space.
Command (m for help): d Selected partition 1 Command (m for help): n Command action e extended p primary partition (1-4) p Partition number (1-4): 1 First cylinder (1-983, default 1): Using default value 1 Last cylinder or +size or +sizeM or +sizeK (1-983, default 983): +8M Command (m for help): n Command action e extended p primary partition (1-4) p Partition number (1-4): 2 First cylinder (18-983, default 18): Using default value 18 Last cylinder or +size or +sizeM or +sizeK (18-983, default 983): Using default value 983 Command (m for help): w The partition table has been altered! Calling ioctl() to re-read partition table. Syncing disks.
Should probably need to change type of first partition to FAT 16 too ?
if it exits with something like
Calling ioctl() to re-read partition table fdisk: WARNING: rereading partition table failed, kernel still uses old table: Device or resource busy
umount /dev/mmcblk0p1
on another shell and try again.
Formatting the SD card
Just issue the following command to create at FAT filesystem:
mkfs.vfat /dev/mmcblk0p1
|NOTE: if you do not have mkfs.vfat you must find and install the "dosfstools" package. This package does not seem to be in the official feeds, but an unofficial build may be downloaded from http://members.shaw.ca/mmontour/neo/dosfstools_2.11-r0_armv4t.ipk
The second partition is about to be formatted with ext3 (for ext2 to work you need to make sure you compiled the kernel with the correct configuration):
mkfs.ext3 /dev/mmcblk0p2
Populate SD card
Your sd card is now ready to be filled up with the rootfs and the needed kernel to boot.
Mount the second partition of your SD card somewhere and put the image on it:
mount /dev/mmcblk0p2 /mnt/moko tar -C /mnt/moko/ -xzvf openmoko-devel-image-fic-gta01-20070313022035.rootfs.tar.gz
Note: As always in this guide the device name as well as the rootfs name needs to be adjusted to your device and filename structure
Note: There's a nice gotcha to take care about if you use your host OS automount. Some hosts mount these removable devices with "nodev" option by default for security. If the image you are unpacking has a populated /dev directory, the nodes will fail to create as devices then. If automounting the SD on your host, confirm there are no unexpected mount options by using "mount" command alone to list the mounts.
The next step is to mount the first partition of the sd card and install the kernel on it.
mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /mnt/mokokernel cp uImage-fic-gta01-latest.bin /mnt/mokokernel/uImage.bin
Or, for some versions of NOR u-boot:
mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /mnt/mokokernel cp uImage-fic-gta01-latest.bin /mnt/mokokernel/uimage
(Yes, lower case i and no extension.)
Make sure your kernel is called uImage.bin (or uimage for some versions of NOR u-boot). If the u-boot doesn't find the kernel image during boot, log into the bootloader with cu, mount the partition with mmcinit and check the presence and the name of the kernel image with fatls mmc 1:1 for FAT filesystem or ext2ls mmc 1:1 for ext2 filesystem. Compare this carefully with the result of printenv sd_image_name. Remember that you can modify the environment in NAND FLASH, but not in NOR FLASH, so if you plan to boot from NOR FLASH you have to modify the file name to match the environment variable.
Unmount both the rootfs partition and the kernel partition and make sure all remaining buffers are written to it:
umount /mnt/moko umount /mnt/mokokernel sync
Add uboot boot entry
Depending on the revision of the phone and the partition type (ext2/ext3) you are using, it might be necessary to add an entry to the bootmenu to be able to boot the system off your SD card. If you are using a FreeRunner and have created an FAT kernel/ext2 rootfs partition you should be able to boot from the card right out of the box, because a boot menu entry for this should already exist in the NOR/NAND boot menu. In any other case you should at least make sure the needed entry exists in your menu before proceeding. You will need to enter the uboot shell of the NAND boot menu for this. A description on how to connect to the uboot loader shell can be found in this article: Uboot#Bootloader_prompt. Details on howto get into the NAND boot menu can be found here.
After you read these two references you should be connected to your NAND uboot shell right now. The first thing to do is to set the boot menu timeout to a really high value. Unfortunately if you don't do this, the boot loader will continue booting after the default timeout (60 seconds) even if you are connected to the uboot shell. Just enter the following command to the menu prompt:
setenv boot_menu_timeout 99999
This will set the timeout to 99999 seconds which should definitely enough time for us finish whatever work we want accomplish in the boot loader shell.
Now we will make sure a appropriate menu item for booting from sd exists, or create it otherwise. You can print the defined boot loader environment by issuing the command:
If it shows a line beginning with menu_ followed by the commands which are just to follow in this guide, you do not need to create a new menu entry. In any other case please proceed with the following.
Please make sure you are using the correct configuration based on the decisions you made earlier. For more information on the uboot prompt, see help help <command> and Bootloader and Bootloader commands.
|NOTE: The backslashes (\) are important for uboot to set the command as new environment variable (menu_9) instead of just executing them as soon as enter is pressed.
|NOTE: Copy and paste may not work depending on your terminal emulator. Commi just works or you can use neocon terminal emulator and add a per-character delay. Otherwise, you will have to type in the commandline manually.
It is important to distinguish between FAT or ext2 kernel partitions and ext2 or ext3 root partitions at this point.
Please watch partition numbers in the following commands. In particular, you may need to change root=/dev/mmcblk0p# and fatload mmc # or ext2load mmc # depending on which partition number your root and kernel, respectively, are located. Number starts from unity.
Boot entry for FAT kernel+ext3 rootfs partitions:
setenv menu_9 Boot from microSD (FAT+ext3): setenv bootargs \${bootargs_base} rootfstype=ext3 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rootdelay=5 \${mtdparts} ro\; mmcinit\; fatload mmc 1 0x32000000 \${sd_image_name}\; bootm 0x32000000
Boot entry for FAT kernel+ext2 rootfs partitions:
setenv menu_9 Boot from microSD (FAT+ext2): setenv bootargs \${bootargs_base} rootfstype=ext2 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rootdelay=5 \${mtdparts} ro\; mmcinit\; fatload mmc 1 0x32000000 \${sd_image_name}\; bootm 0x32000000
or : with additional 'init=/sbin/init' kernel parameter (may be needed for some images) : setenv menu_9 Boot 200808 from microSD (FAT+ext2): setenv bootargs \${bootargs_base} rootfstype=ext2 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rootdelay=5 \${mtdparts} init=/sbin/init ro\; mmcinit\; fatload mmc 1 0x32000000 \${sd_image_name}\; bootm 0x32000000
Boot entry for ext2 kernel+ext2 rootfs partitions: (requires newer u-boot)
setenv menu_2 Boot from microSD part2 (ext2+ext2): setenv bootargs \${bootargs_base} rootfstype=ext2 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rootdelay=5 \${mtdparts} ro\; mmcinit\; ext2load mmc 1 0x32000000 \${sd_image_name}\; bootm 0x32000000
Boot entry for kernel and rootfs on same ext2 partition (tested with Qtopia/requires newer u-boot) setenv menu_3 QTopia: setenv bootargs \${bootargs_base} rootfstype=ext2 root=/dev/mmcblk0p1 rootdelay=5 \${mtdparts} ro\; mmcinit\; ext2load mmc 1:1 0x32000000 \${sd_image_name}\; bootm 0x32000000 You are nearly done. Just issue a
and verify that your newly created entry is correctly displayed (This time the backslashes are not displayed anyone).
If everything looks fine enter
into the prompt and press enter. The new configuration should now be saved to the NAND.
Shutdown your neo with the following command:
neo1973 power-off
After you restarted the Neo and got back to the NAND boot menu you should be able to select your newly created menu entry and successfully boot into the rootfs from your SD card.
See also Moving current system from flash to SD which shows how to move the running system currently running in flash to an SD card, in order to keep a backup system on SD on which to boot from.
Boot from SDHC
|NOTE: the following text was written for the Neo1973. SDHC and SD should both work in a FreeRunner if you have u-boot from 2008-07-23 or later.
As SDHC is not supported in older u-boot versions you can't use the Booting from SD guide. But there's a kind of workaround that is a good option to have at least your rootfs on the microSDHC:
First you can follow Step 1 to get an kernel-image with mmc- and ext2-support. But instead of copying the image to the rootfs you will have to flash it to the Neo's internal NAND-Flash (using Dfu-util). Now you can continue with Step 2 (like mentioned before you do not have to copy your uImage to the rootfs) and follow the instructions to Step 3. Instead of the setenv commands in Step 3 you have to enter the following:
GTA01Bv4 # setenv menu_5 Boot from SDHC: setenv bootargs root=/dev/mmcblk0p1 console=tty0 rootdelay=5 neo1973-nand:0x00040000(u-boot),0x00004000(u-boot_env),0x00200000(kernel),0x000a0000(splash)\; nand read.e 0x32000000 kernel\; bootm 0x32000000 GTA01Bv4 # saveenv
And that's it! Now you can use the newly created menu option "Boot from SDHC" to boot the internal kernel, using the root-filesystem on the microSDHC.
Autoboot from SDHC
Maybe you want to Boot automatically from SDHC: Set a new Bootmenu Entry for booting from NAND first
GTA01Bv4 # setenv menu_6 Boot from NAND: setenv bootargs \${bootargs_base} \${mtdparts}\; nand read.e 0x32000000 kernel\; bootm 0x32000000 GTA01Bv4 # saveenv
then Power-off, and enter the Bootmenu to test the new Entry.If you can boot from NAND, shutdown, enter Boot menu, connect to bootloader and set the (auto)bootcmd for boot from SDHC:
GTA01Bv4 # setenv bootcmd setenv bootargs root=/dev/mmcblk0p1 rootdelay=10 console=tty0 neo1973-nand:0x00040000(u-boot),0x00004000(u-boot_env),0x00200000(kernel),0x000a0000(splash)\; nand read.e 0x32000000 kernel\; bootm 0x32000000 GTA01Bv4 # saveenv
Now you boot from SDHC everytime you press the Power-Button or reboot and if you like to boot from NAND -just use the bootmenu.
Fixing udev automount
Udev automatically mounts the SD Card in /media/mmcblk0p1/ you can disable this with
echo /dev/mmcblk >> /etc/udev/mount.blacklist
Remarks on Kernel Parameters
Some people suggested adding:
to the kernel command line. IF you also have "console=tty0" on your kernel commandline this makes the boot process extremely slow because the framebuffer (the neo display in text mode) has to print out tons of lines of debug messages like:
s3c2410-sdi s3c2410-sdi: ...... mmc0: ....

I was running Win2000Pro on an old [2003] desktop PC I'd been given by ErnieK of the PCGuide forums.
Caught and eliminated a trojan.
Decided to look for an OS that would be secure to use for online banking.
Tried various Linux distros.
Had difficulty getting them to do anything. [The command line sudo business was confusing]
Then ErnieK suggested trying Puppy Linux.
Liked it immediately.
Particularly the way it explained everything, and gave advice on how to complete the various steps in doing stuff.
Easy to do stuff, and it "just worked".
From then on, it has been an adventure...
So easy to use, SIMPLE and FAST.

I got seriously interested in Linux when Windows Genuine Advantage suddenly decided that my 100% legal retail copy of XP (purchased and installed by me) wasn't genuine.Microsoft would gladly sell me another copy...... no thanks.
Wiped the hard drive and did a full install of Puppy.

I remember something similar happening to a lot of Windows users in Germany that have had bought a new Computer with Windows pre-installed plus a so-called OEM-CD (DVD) but can't remember how exactly this was solved. Though I've never heard of anyone needed to buy a new copy/license.

Puppy --> Puppy
As I didn't have a computer on my own, I used everyone else's Windows computer. At first I was interested in Ubuntu Karmic, then I discovered Puppy by version 5.0, the only distro I was able to fully test because of its ability to run entirely from RAM, without touching the hard disk.
A couple of years later I got my first computer, and I already knew that Puppy Linux was the way to go in my case. In a country where prices rise largely and monthly because of hyperinflation, I didn't have much money so the quickest way to get a computer was buying an old Pentium 4 without a hard disk.
Surely Ubuntu and the great distributions are great and run fine on older machines as well, but I always liked the speed of Puppy, as well as its many original, unique tools created by members of the forum. I remember how I didn't like SeaMonkey, and now it's my default browser, I even run it as portable on Windows computers.
I can't program or compile, yet I was able to make small contributions as a way of saying thank you for this operative system.

I was about ten years old when my dad (who was a computer tech) had heard about a new operating system named "Lindows." (The now defunct Linspire) Used it for a few years, got tired of various kernel panics, swapped to Ubuntu after getting student pack of discs from Canonical.
Lost my dualboot hard drive when the motherboard in the PC crapped out. Didn't feel like doing one on the new PC, and had heard about some Linux you could put on a thumb drive. PuppyLinux seemed neat enough. Been using it since 2008 now.

When I first discovered Puppy Linux, I had no experience with Linux per se, but a great deal of experience (over 20 years) slinging code on UNIX systems. So naturally I was very curious about Linux. I had a spare Celeron-cpu'd laptop lying around and tried the Ubuntu CD (this was Jaunty Jackalope) that came with a Linux magazine. It was not jaunty at all -- more like an elephant in molasses -- and could not connect to the laptop's built-in wireless. Plus, as a hard-core fan of UNIX and a hobbyist from the microcomputer era (Atari 800 and Commodore Amiga), I was astounded and aghast at all the bloat I found in Ubuntu.
Looking around for something much lighter, I eventually discovered Puppy, which at the time was at 4.1.2. It worked like a champ right out of the box, and I've been hooked ever since.

6502coder name reminds me:
I don't know when I first came across Puppy Linux, but I think it was a few years before I ever adopted it and joined the forum (I didn't adopt it earlier because I needed a multiuser system).
However, I do remember that the first programs I really wrote (aside from some earlier programming efforts with Fortran and Algol, at a time when I had no interest in computing and hence had trouble getting any programs to work...) was on the Compukit UK101 (BASIC in 8KBytes ROM and only 4KBytes of RAM... yes, KBytes, not MBytes or GBytes!!!...no hard or floppy disk - just cassette tape), which I soldered together in 1979, at a small secondary school in the scottish highlands and a colleague built a wooden case for it on my behalf:
So first language was the tiny Microsoft BASIC on that machine (PEEKING and POKING to make simple computer games...). However, that machine also introduced me to Assembly Language programming (6502 microprocessor), which I learned by trial and error from a single-line sheet listing the available commands and their mneumonics (I had no book or no Internet at that time to find any other info). Actually, the 6502 coding was done in Hex (I almost still remember some of the 6502 hex codes on the tip of my tongue...)
That same year I also obtained a Science of Cambridge MK14 and used to interface to the 'outside world' with that too (school science experiments - I was a Physics teacher for a few years back then) - then we purchased an Acord System One before moving on to the great BBC B.
I loved that time of early days 6502 (followed later by Z80. 80x86 and 8051 with electronics interfacing) experimentation far more, to be honest, than my later dabblings with Linux (though that has its moments too...).

The only thing I ever hated about Windows is that every new incarnation of it is a bigger hog of resources than the last. Need more Ram, Need a bigger hard drive etc...
The thing I love about windows is that cheap ram, cheap storage, and cheap
hardware of just about every kind are now so readily available for those of us willing to forsake Windows.

Hi All
For me it all started with a Vic-20.
Commodore basic and like the previous poster 6502 machine programing.
Then I moved up in the world to a Commodore 64 with 300 baud dial up.
Then came the 8088.
Then the Pentium versions of PC. Windows 3.1, 95, 98 , XP, Windows 7
In the beginning I would write basic programs that started out because
I wanted to answer the question "How do you get a computer to do.....?"
Once I had a working program that answered the above question I then
deleted the program and move on to the next How do you... question.
Eventually found out that
1) In the United States you could now get
an Amateur Radio license with out morse code. (1994)
2) That you could connect your PC to your radio.
So now I write software of interest to Amateur Radio operators using
Visual Basic.
Wanted to have Linux versions of my software.
Found Puppy.
I run Puppy from a flash drive.
Came to find out that I liked Puppy a lot more than Windows.
Now I only boot into Windows when I maintain one of my Visual Basic
projects or write new software.
I use Puppy on a daily bases.
On Puppy I use Bacon to write my software. Like Puppy Bacon is light and
I at one time used Ubuntu but did not like the turn on PC and find out
that it wants to update itself.
In other words I find Ubuntu to be too much like Windows.
Thank you for reading this way too long post
Best Regards

I first got interested in Linux at the end of the 90's / early 2000s, when I had my first computer (a 486) and downloaded a "Linux on a floppy" called tomsrtbt. It was interesting and had a lot of features and tools for its size, but I didn't do nearly as much with it as we expect to do with Linux distros now. (Looking back I realise I could have done more with it if I'd known more, but there you go).
In 2003 I upgraded to a computer which had a Pentium 100 processor and 32 MB of RAM, enough to be useful with Linux. I ran DOS on it, Windows 3.1, and an amazing (for its time) version of Linux called Basic Linux which could boot off either two floppies or your hard drive (using Loadlin) and was based on an old version of Slackware.
With that one I could surf the Web (in an old version of Opera) with just 32 MB of RAM and the Blackbox window manager.
However, it started to show signs of age, so;
In April 2006 I was given a newer computer, a Pentium 3, which had Windows XP and 5 spare GB at the end of the drive, on which I installed the latest version of Vector Linux 5.1 (a distro I'd seen reviewed in the UK's Custom PC magazine a couple of years earlier and thought I'd like to try).
That was good except that the support for dialup in Vector then was patchy (unlike Puppy's).
I downloaded Puppy, version 2.00 (which I'd also read about), in June of that year and the rest is history. Eight years on I've got Puppy on my hard drive and nothing else.
Acer Aspire M1610 (Core 2 Duo, 2.3 GHz), 3 GB of RAM, 320 GB hard drive running Sparky 4.7 (32-bit), Emmabuntus 3.1.02, AntiX 17.2 (32-bit), Debian 9.6, Kubuntu 14.04.5, Pardus 17.4, CrunchBang++ and Mint Debian 3.

I woke up around 6 , turned on the TV and he was still dead.
Osama bin Laden is dead, and it will be one of those moments that you'll always remember where you were and what you were doing when you heard the news. For those who learned on ESPN last night, it was reminiscent of hearing John Lennon was murdered while watching Monday Football.
I was home channel surfing when I heard. I called a few friends and became mesmerized by the images on the screen. Just like when watching the Japan earthquake, Katrina, Columbine, and, of course, September 11. There is no script to history. It just relentless attacks us and grabs us by the scruff of the neck and shakes. It shook me to about 4 in the morning.
Flipping back to the Mets game, where it was tied in the ninth, 1-1 — 9-1-1. You don't find irony or symbolism like that too often. It was inspiring to hear the crowd spontaneously chanting, U-S-A, U-S-A. Sometimes the chant sounds forced and cliche. Not last night.
"I don't like to give Philadelphia fans too much credit. But they got this one right," said David Wright when asked about the chanting.
Yes, the Mets won, but the crowd reaction is what we'll remember and take with us, much as we do the images of that day.
I was covering the Yankees at the time and took the weekend off to move to New York from Maryland. I was on the Jersey Turnpike just north of the Philadelphia exit when the planes hit the towers. Because all the bridges were closed what was normally a five-hour trip became 11. My movers were volunteer firefighters. My furniture didn't arrive for several more days.
That week was spent covering workouts at Yankee Stadium and watching the Shea Stadium parking lot used for a staging ground for the EMS workers. It was inspiring to see Bobby Valentine and his Mets, in uniform, help the workers load trucks.
And, when the games finally resumed, we witnessed one of the most memorable home runs in New York history, Mike Piazza's drive that beat the Braves. The Mets and Braves were mortal enemies at the time, and their display of unity that night was another memory. It was another example of how sports can be unifying.
So much has happened in the ten years since, and we've changed personally and as a nation in so many ways, and for a baseball writer it goes well beyond the joys of traveling, from the pat downs to the long lines to the general uneasiness of strangers.
I live in a small town in Connecticut, and the fallout hits here, too.
What small town doesn't have a 9-1-1 Memorial? Who among us doesn't know someone lost in the attacks and the subsequent military actions in the Middle East? The failing economy is a byproduct of that day, and with it the foreclosure signs, layoffs and stress of trying to make ends meet. Who among us doesn't cringe when filling up our tanks and wonder when things will ever get back to normal.
Or, is this normal?
I hope you'll share with us what you were doing that day.

Eric Wynsma Wins Audi Melges 20 U.S. National Championship
23 August 2009
On the final day of racing, Eric Wynsma from East Grand Rapids, Mich. on Superflywas crowned the first ever Audi Melges 20 U.S. National Champion. Along with his crew of Wally Cross and JP de Solar, they took the last day, light air conditions and the overnight lead from Pieter Taselaar on Bliksem. He just barely beat out Marc Hollerbach on Blackjack from Grosse Point, Mich. along with his sons Ian and Adam tied with equal points in second overall. Taselaar, with Michael Coxon and Williem Van Way finished in third overall.
Sunday's racing was tough and quite challenging. Only one race was able to be held due to the excessively light conditions for a total of four races to make the Championship.
Harry Melges and Andy Burdick with Melges Performance Sailboats brought around the Sebago girls. Special thanks for their support as Sebago played an intricate part in the success of this event, as the top three top winning teams were outfitted with very cool Sebago shoes as prizes.
The International Audi Melges 20 Class Association would like to thank the Macatawa Bay Yacht Club and most especially Michael and Toby Kiss who worked so hard to make this event fantastic.
Looking ahead, the Audi Melges 20 fleet, in the U.S.A. and Europe is excited about the upcoming 2010 Schedule of Events. The class anticipates a great turn out. In particular, the next U.S. National Championship on beautiful Lake Geneva on August 27-29, 2010!
Top Ten Results (FINAL)
- Eric Wynsma - 4-1-5-1 = 11
- Marc Hollerbach - 1-4-3-3 = 11
- Pieter Taselaar - 2-2-1-7 = 12
- John Arenshorst - 12-3-9-2 = 26
- Dave Hammett - 3-9-2-12/TLE = 26
- Michael Kiss - 6-6-7-8 27
- Bendetto Giallongo - 5-10-4-9= 28
- Chuck Holzman - 7-5-6-11 = 29
- Joe Williams - 9-7-8-12/TLE = 36
- Marco Morina - 8-8-15/DNF-6 = 37

Scarlett Johansson planning West End move
The Lost in Translation star won a Tony Award for her Broadway debut in Arthur Miller's A View From the Bridge, and she won rave reviews for her current turn in Cat On A Hot Tin Roof when the play opened in New York on Thursday night (17Jan13).
Johansson has now confirmed that when her turn as Maggie the Cat comes to an end, she wants to continue her theatre career in London.
She says, "I would love to do something on the West End. After my run with this, I will be putting Maggie the Cat to bed - doing any longer than our run right now would be maddening. But I would love to do theatre in the West End... I love London and have spent tons of time there. I'd like that to be next."
Johansson adds of her current theatre role: "It's quite liberating to be back on stage. What seems to be on the page hugely challenging really comes to life when you suddenly have a place to put on the words. It's very thrilling."

The first photo of Edward and Bella on their Honeymoon appears in Entertainment Weekly(the issue with Johnny Depp on the cover for better quality). Twitpic via FanficCrazyas seen on Access Hollywood.
Better screen cap from our friends at Twilight Poison.
Quote from Bill Condon:
Entertainment Weekly has an exclusive first look at THE TWILIGHT SAGA: BREAKING DAWN – PART 1. The shot, which is only available in Entertainment Weekly's print edition, features Bella (Kristen Stewart) and Edward (Robert Pattinson) as husband and wife…on their wedding night. "It's one of the most anticipated scenes," Breaking Dawn director Bill Condon tells EW. "I spent a tremendous amount of time thinking about it. The anticipation is part of it and you want to play with what people expect and maybe subvert it a little and surprise them.
Entertainment Weekly will have the photo only in their latest edition that appears on newsstand tomorrow! It WILL NOT be in their online edition.

I been looking at the schedule the last few days for all 4 division teams the Steelers,Browns,Bengals,and Ravens and the way it sets up the first 3-4 games for each team if the Steelers take care of their own business for the most part and let's say even finish the month 3-1 they are going to be in total control of the division here pretty much for a good part of the year. I say this because if you look at the Browns,Bengals,and Ravens the first 3-4 games they are all going to play one another at least once which will give them all at least 1 probably 2 losses, plus aside from games against each other the Browns have games with Dallas and the Steelers the first two weeks followed by games at Baltimore and at Cincy. The best I see the Browns doing in that stretch is 2-2. If the Browns lose to Dallas the first week of the season and the Steelers beat Houston then that game in Cleveland on Sunday night in week 2 pretty much becomes a MUST win game for the Browns because if they lose that game to the Steelers they would then be virtually 3 games behind them already losing the tiebraker. If that happens the Browns will really start questioning themselves and could possibly fall apart very early on in the year.
The Ravens have a game with Cincy in Baltimore to open up which is a toss up either way one of them will have a loss, followed by a game at Houston which they will definitely lose I think,then they host Cleveland which once again will give another loss to a division team, then they play the Steelers here on Monday night which they will definitely lose as well. The best I see the Ravens doing in that stretch is 1-3. Lastly, the Bengals open up at Baltimore which again could go either way and regardless will give one of them at least one loss already. Then, they host Tennessee who is going to definitely want payback on them since they beat them very badly down in Cincy last season. Next they go to New York to play the Giants in a game they will definitely lose because Cincy can never win tough games on the road anymore. Then they come back home to host the Browns which again will give at least one of them another loss in the division, followed by a game at Dallas the next week which the Bengals will once again definitely lose. I see the Bengals going no better then 2-3 in their first 5 games but 1-4 is probably a safer bet. I see the Steelers going 3-1 in their first 4 games beating Houston and Baltimore here at home, and most likely splitting the games with the Browns and Eagles on the road.
If I had to pick one to lose I will say the Eagles because it's a non-conference game and it wont really have too much affect on tiebrakers of any sort. The Steelers could also win that game in Philly as well and maybe they run the table in September and go 4-0 who knows it's very very possible. The key game in this stretch is definitely week 2 against the Browns because they are the Steelers biggest threat. The Ravens and Bengals virtually have no chance to do anything in this division the way things look for them so far they have too many problems. So as I said above should the Browns lose to Dallas in Cleveland the first week of the season which by the way I think they will,and the Steelers beat the Texans here at home which I think they will if they win that game in Cleveland week 2 they pretty much have an excellent shot to control the division early on and possibly even run away with it.

Sunia Homes: Modern, Sustainable & Affordable Housing
I had the pleasure of working with my friend Laure Joliet on an exciting project a few months ago. Laure is an incredibly talented interior photographer and was asked to shoot and style for a new housing company in Los Angeles, Sunia Homes.
Sunia Homes builds modern, sustainable and affordable homes for clients in California. The first/model home where we worked is in Echo Park. We had a wonderful time working with the company's founder and owner, Jerome.
Jerome's vision for Sunia is to provide clients with the tools to live a more self-sufficient lifestyle, without breaking the bank. Each Sunia Home includes solar panels, grey and rainwater harvesting systems, a wood pellet stove, a garden to grow your own fruit, vegetables and herbs, and FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) bamboo flooring. Each home also comes with an energy monitoring display that tells you how much electricity your house is using and estimates your monthly energy cost/consumption, which can be accessed from your computer and smartphone. I urge you to check out the website to learn more about the general process and Sunia's passion for green living.
We loved working in this house. The exterior is sleek and modern, an unexpected juxtaposition to the rest of the neighborhood. The interior is bright and sunny so we kept the styling simple and relaxed. Morgan worked her magic and made the house feel warm, lived-in, without being overdone and messy.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – The MIT men's and women's track and field teams will send a total of 12 athletes to this weekend's NCAA Division III Championship, which will be held at Ohio Wesleyan University beginning on Thursday, May 26. The Tech women are ranked No. 3 in the nation entering the meet while the men will look to duplicate their success from 2010, where they finished fourth overall, the highest in program history.
Coach Halston Taylor's women's program has achieved tremendous success this year, having previously finished third at both the cross country and indoor track & field national meets. The Cardinal and Gray has a chance to United States Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) Deb Vercauteren Program of the Year Award, which measures institutional success across all three Championships.
The Engineers have nine women entered in 14 different events at the Outdoor Championship, the fifth most of all teams in the meet. They are led by 10-time All-America, Portia Jones, who was recently named the New England Track Athlete of the Year for the fourth time in her distinguished career. Jones will participate in five events over the weekend, including three individual events and a pair of relays.
The junior will begin her Championship on Thursday evening with the prelims of the 200 meters, slated for 8:00 p.m., before doubling up with a pair of preliminary heats on Friday, when she will run the 100-meter hurdles at 6:45 p.m. and follow up with the 100m an hour later. The finals for all three events, should she advance, will be held on Saturday afternoon. Jones is one of the favorites in the 200m, seeded third overall entering the meet. She owns the ninth fastest seed time in the 100 and is 16th in the hurdles.
Jones will also anchor a pair of Tech relays, the 4x100 and 4x400 meter squads, which compete in preliminary heats on Thursday as well. Joining Jones on the 4x400, which is seeded second overall coming in, will be Jamie Simmons, Martha Gross and Hazel Briner. The trials of that event will be at 9:05 p.m. on Thursday, with the finals scheduled as the last event of the Championship on Saturday. The 4x100 relay will be comprised of Jones, Gross, Simmons and Jacqueline Brew. That group owns the 13th best time coming in and will hope to improve their time to qualify for the event final, starting at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday.
Simmons will be nearly as busy as her teammate Jones this weekend, as she will compete in both the 400 meters and 400 hurdles, in addition to the two relays. Simmons will have a few chances to climb atop the awards podium, as she owns the second-best time in the country in both events entering the Championship. Hurdle prelims will be held on Thursday at 7:30 p.m. with the final on Saturday. The qualifier for the 400 will be on Friday at 7:15 p.m.
Senior Anna Holt-Gosselin is also entered in two events as she is the fourth seed in the 5,000 and is second at 10,000 meters. Holt-Gosselin will be the first Tech athlete to race in a final, as the 22 runners in the 10k will go off at 9:20 p.m. on Thursday. The 5,000 meters will be held on Saturday at 4:40 p.m., the second to last event of the meet, and has a field of 23 participants.
Perhaps the event where MIT has the chance to make its biggest splash is the women's pole vault, as three Tech vaulters are entered in the Championship. The National runner-up during the Indoor meet, Karin Fisher, leads the group as she is seeded third overall. Lauren Kuntz and Briner, who both landed on the All-America podium during the Indoor season as well, are entered in the event, which is scheduled to begin at 5:00 p.m. on Thursday.
Briner will also compete in the Heptathlon, an event in which she has captured a pair of regional titles, throughout the day on Thursday and Friday. The scheduled heptathlon events for Thursday are the 100 hurdles, high jump, shot put and 200m with long jump, javelin and 800 meter run to follow on Friday. Briner comes into the meet seeded 13th overall but hopes to improve on that position to secure a fifth All-America honor.
The final competitor headed to Ohio for the women's team is former National runner-up, Amy Magnuson, who will join Jones in the 100-meter hurdles. Magnuson is seeded 17th in the event and will run in the first of three heats on Friday.
On the men's side, three MIT athletes will be in action, Paul Welle in the 3000 Steeplechase, Kenneth Cooper in the hammer throw and Vladimir Sobes in the javelin.
Cooper starts things off in the hammer, competing in the second of two flights beginning at 3:00 p.m. on Thursday. Cooper is the 14th seed coming into the competition.
Welle will run the Steeplechase at 8:30 p.m. on Friday, an event in which he is seeded 16th overall. Sobes who earned All-America honors in the javelin a year ago, will look to duplicate the feat beginning at 3:00 p.m. on Saturday. Sobes has the fifth best mark in the country entering the Championship.
Ohio Wesleyan will offer live streaming video of the NCAA Championship for all three days, which can be accessed here and through ncaa.com. Fans can also receive updates through MIT's twitter account @MITengineers.
Last year's NCAA Championship was the most successful in Institute history for both the men's and women's teams. Both squads landed on the awards podium, with the women placing third and the men taking home fourth. Tech also had a pair of NCAA Champions crowned, as Jacqui Wentz captured the national title in the Steeplechase while Stephen Morton won the long jump.

Rebecca Black was getting made fun of at school SO MUCH after "Friday" came out -- that her mother decided to pull her out and began homeschooling the singer.
Black just told ABC News ... students were constantly targeting her, explaining, "When I walk by they'll start singing 'Friday' in a really nasally voice ... Or, you know, they'll be like, 'Oh hey, Rebecca, guess what day it is?'"
Black's mom told ABC the move will also help the 14-year-old focus on her career.

Fox Reporter Lauren Green's Double Standard On Reza Aslan And Islam
Here Are Eight Reports On Islam From Green, Who Questioned Muslim Scholar For Writing About Christianity
Blog ››› ››› ERIC HANANOKI
During a recent interview, Fox News reporter Lauren Green repeatedly questioned the propriety of religious scholar Reza Aslan writing about the Christian faith when he's Muslim. Green's standard is not only absurd on its face, it's also hypocritical: Green is a Christian who frequently writes and reports about Islam as Fox's religion correspondent.
Green joined Fox News in 1996 and was Fox News chief Roger Ailes' first on-air talent hire. An October 16, 2007, Baptist Press article reported that Green spoke to Christian college students about the importance of Christianity in her reporting, said journalists would achieve ultimate success by holding the Christian faith, and encouraged students not to "abandon your faith" in their work. From Baptist Press:
Journalists' first obligation is to seek truth, and the only way absolute truth can be found is by measuring humanity's idea of truth against God's standards, she said. Therefore, the only way for a journalist to achieve ultimate success is to hold to the Christian faith, Green said.
By having compassion on people and informing them of the truth, Christian journalists can change the world, she said.
"That's my challenge to all of you -- the only way to be true to your craft is to go deeper into your faith," she said. "You can't abandon your faith, because this world will try to help you see a different light. (The world will say), 'There's a different truth out there.'
"No. The law of God stands firm. There is no other truth but that. And so the only way to really understand and really do your job better is to get out there and to understand what the real truth of the world is and to never back down from it."
Here are eight examples of stories that, by her flawed standard, Green shouldn't have filed:
Green: "Is There Something In Islam That Makes Believers More Susceptible to Radicalization?" Green wrote a March 10, 2011, FoxNews.com piece about Islam and violence, and wrote, "I believe essentially there are three things that may make Islam more prone to radicalization." She explained:
I believe essentially there are three things that may make Islam more prone to radicalization. One is the Koran itself. The fact that it's not a narrative makes it easier to pick and choose verses to fit your interpretation.
Two, the Prophet Mohammed's own words and deeds. In Islam's early days, Mohammed spread the faith with the sword.
Three, Islam was introduced into a world rife with tribalism; a shame and honor culture which revered and respected power. Much of what's going in Libya and what went on under Saddam Hussein, are extensions of that tribalism.
Green added: "There are conflicting interpretations of the Koran, but without a clear narrative, with one consensus of purpose, followers who do violence in the name of Islam can legitimately claim they are acting within the parameters of their faith."
Green Reported On Concerns That Muslim Immigrants In Minnesota Represents A "Cultural Invasion." Green filed a July 4, 2007, report for The Big Story with John Gibson about whether Muslim immigrants in Minnesota represent a "cultural invasion." During the report, Green interviewed Somali immigrants, and also reported that "behind this veneer of reasonableness, some fear the Somali community is putty in the hands of a more radical Islamic agenda."
Green Reported On Results From A Pew Research Poll On Muslims' Attitudes On Politics, Religion and Terrorism. Green reported on a Pew Research Center survey of Muslims around the world for the April 30 edition of America Live.
Green Reported On Whether Islam Is A Violent Religion. During a June 15 report for Fox News, Green aired a he-said-he-said report on whether Islam is a violent religion. Green aired a quote from Zuhdi Jasser stating that the faith most Muslims practice is peaceful, while airing another quote from Al Fadi stating that "Islam itself is violent."
Green Discussed Islam's Influence On Boston Bombers. During the April 27 edition of Fox Business' Tom Sullivan Show, Green discussed differences between mainstream and radical Islam in the wake of the Boston Marathon bombings.
Green Reported On Mosques Opening Their Doors In A Campaign To Counter Negative Stereotypes. In an October 22, 2010, piece for FoxNews.com, Green reported on how "Muslim leaders nationwide are flinging open the doors to their mosques, hoping to present a positive image of Islam." The piece quoted Muslims and also quoted anti-Islam blogger Pamela Geller, who said the openings are "bringing people to Islam to convert."
Green Reported On Criticism Of Ground Zero Mosque. A May 14, 2010, FoxNews.com piece reported: "Outraged family members and community groups are accusing a Muslim group of trying to rewrite history with its plans to build a 13-story mosque and cultural center just two blocks from Ground Zero, where Islamic extremists flew two planes into the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001."
Green Reported On Conflicts Over Construction Of Mosques In Towns. Green reported on the "list of midsized towns in the U.S. that are embroiled in conflicts over proposed mosques being built or bought in their neighborhoods" for FoxNews.com on July 2, 2010. Green also reported on the controversy on-air for Fox News.

Following the death of his mother, the family moved to Oregon while Dewey was still in elementary school. Dewey moved to Moab 18 years ago after an adventurous life spent logging in Alaska and Oregon. He was a well-known and well-loved figure in Moab.
Dewey attended the Sunday meal at the First Baptist Church most Sundays for the last year and a half. He often played his guitar and sang, bringing laughter or tears to his listeners. He was always ready with a good story and an engaging smile, and will be dearly missed by those who knew and loved him.
Dewey is survived by his sisters, Carol Purvis, of Prairie City, Ore., and Connie Flower, of Pineville, Ore.; and his son, Murry James, of Alberta Canada; among others.
The First Baptist Church on MiVida Drive in Moab will host a memorial gathering in the Fellowship Hall on Thursday, Sept. 6 at 4 p.m. His sister will be in attendance from her home in Oregon. You are invited to come for coffee and dessert and share in remembering our good friend, Dewey.

Reviewing this book posed one small problem: I don't actually HAVE a legal ancestor (although there are possibly one or two illegal ancestors, but thats another story). I've done a little research and study into criminal history (check out the Old Bailey online for some good old crime reading), but this book looks very much at the other side of the coin – the judiciary and legal system.
The British legal system is horribly complicated and confusing – Quarter Sessions, Assizes, Magistrates, County Court, High Court to name but a few. There are lawyers, barristers, judges, recorders, registrars, clerks and coroners to name but a few more. Its hard enough to understand for those of us who have studied it for a while, so for the family history enthusiast finding that they have a lawyer in the family, it must be terrifying to know where to start. This book gives a good starting point.
I would go further however, and suggests that this is actually probably quite useful to read if you find that you have a criminal ancestor, as it gives a great description of the legal system. Therefore, you will be able to gain a much better understanding of the system that you ancestor will have gone through, and the people who would have defenced, prosectuted and sentenced them.
Never the less, this is a very useful book indeed. I must confess, it doesn't sound like the most rivetting read, and its probably not something you would pick up purely for fun. But if you find thats one of your ancestors was a lawyer or judge or such like, this would be an ideal guide. As usual with the 'Tracing your… Ancestors' series there are plenty of useful resources listed, and – particularly useful in this case – a sizeable glossary of tecnical legal terms.
Its on my bookshelf just in case!
Tracing your Legal Ancestors is published by Pen and Sword

Man's dream of living and travelling through universe is a step closer now. With Russia's BION- M1 satellite in space with animals and plants to study the effect of zero gravity and weightlessness .
This is one of three BION satellites (animal-carrying space capsule) which space pioneering nation Russia has recently send in space on 18th April. Though this is not the first time a bio satellite is being sent in space. Russian bio satellite programs dates back to 1966, which was resumed in 1973.
This program is not only helping Russian but also NASA who is closely associated with these programs since 1971. They are trying to understand the fundamentals of space biology which may carter Russia's aim of establishing a base on moon.
This Launch of Soyuz was also closely watched by the world, as now it's the only working space shuttle on earth, frequently used to reach the ISS (International Space Station)and with the recent failures of Russian space program.
On 18th, the Bion satellites or Bion space program, also named Bio cosmos, was launched from the Baikonur, Kazakhstan in Soyuz-2.1, after a delay of 3 years as initially it was to be launched in 2010. The biological research satellite is being sent to conduct experiments to make life of astronauts easier in outer space. The satellite carried a crew of 45 mice, 8 Mongolian gerbils, 15 geckos, snails, fish and microorganisms in it. These animals are luckier than Leila the first dog (animal) to being sent in space as that they will return back to earth.
The satellite is scheduled to return back to earth after 30 days, on 18th May with a help of a parachute. It's after that scientist will be able to study the data gathered through the experiments. These experiments could not be carried on the international space station, because of the sanity issues these animals may create. It's only after the analysis of the data, we can say about the productivity of such expensive launches.
Keep Looking …

And how about you? What are your plans for Halloween? Share it with us!
What are your plans for Halloween?
And how about you? What are your plans for Halloween? Share it with us!
Just taking our little boy trick or treating with a few of his friends. We just have to find a neighborhood where the people actually open the doors! lol.
Have a great Halloween.
@Lucy: Your comment sounded a little bit funny >.< your neighborhood don't open their doors on Halloween? Wow, I know some people don't give out candy but not the whole neighborhood, lol, Well have fun any ways with your little boy of course, go to a friendly neighborhood who are willing to open their doors!
Happy Halloween & thank you for sharing!
I'm excited to celebrate Halloween this year! It's been 5 years since I've been in the States, and this will be the first time for me to be an "adult" at Halloween. Never passed out candy before, and I'm really hoping some kids stop by. I'm planning to dress up as well, so if anyone else is just hanging out a home on Halloween like me, let's share our costumes online so we can get a bit more Halloween spirit!
No plans yet for Halloween, though living in Atlanta I'm sure I can find something Walking Dead related.
We are going to a housewarming on the 4th of November where people will be dressing up. I'm planning on going as a diction-fairy
@ Marisa: There's always a first time for anything I'm sure kids will stop by to get some candies, they always do specially if the house is decorated, and dressing up is fun too, It's only once a year, so it won't hurt anyone!
@Amber: At least you are doing something we all have different ways to have fun, some of us can't because of the weather, or other circumstances, but either way have fun!
No plans here, this will be the first year we are opting not to celebrate
I'm not fully positive what's going on Halloween night for us but I'm hoping to dress up and pass out candy to all the kids in our complex/area. I've been gathering pieces for a "nerd" costume haha. White button up, tie with books on it, button up cardigan. All I need is a pocket protector and some tape on my glasses and i'll be good to go
The weekend before Halloween, my fiance and I will be joining our roomie and a group of others to galavant the streets of Salem, Mass. Definitely looking forward to that. I visited Salem in high school for a field trip but this will be my first time as an adult and with no supervision so I'm definitely excited
[@Kiana]: I wish we can do that, but with little kids is impossible, I don't like leaving them in the house while other kids are having fun outside!
[@Sharilynn]: Your costume sounds interesting >.< Have fun with your fiance, I bet It will be fun going as an adult It's a lot different!
Oh, we'll also have a Mass at church, I'm sure. I just remembered that. And then the next day. And then the next day. I probably will NOT dress up as a diction-fairy for that.
Well, where I live there aren´t any halloween celebrations. Some years ago we used to carve pumpkins just to make sure no unwanted spirit would go in, but I´m not sure if we´ll do it this year. We maybe (but definitelly not sure - its more a no than a yes) go to the Zoombie walk - a nerdy event on the Nov 2nd when people dress and act like zoombies and walk through a part of my city´s downtown... At least is a slow walk - I can catch up :p
@Jiovanna, lol. I don't know, I guess living in a big city, people are jaded. Where I live, no one opens the doors. We've been living in this neighborhood about 6 years and it's been like that as long as I remember even before we had our son and started going trick or treating. Almost no one decorates their homes for Halloween and some of the houses are so creepy looking on their own that you don't even want to go to ring the doorbell!!! eep!
This is our 3rd year trick or treating, we always do find a nice neighborhood nearby and we give out candy too as we walk along since we can't be home to do it.
[@Amber]: That sounds fun Enjoy your day!
[@Lorien]: The zombie walk sound interesting, I have seen them in the news It looks so real! Have fun!
[@Lucy]: Maybe the neighborhood was like that even before you moved there, I hope the houses are not haunted or maybe they just need some improvement But It sounds scary to know that the houses look creepy already, but anyways have fun with your little one
Thanks Jiovanna, You guys have fun too! No the houses are not haunted. lol.
We have loads of trick or treaters every year here and I love it. I'm prone to giving out lots of candy, so sometimes my Sweetie will take me off the candy giving post. I don't know if you ever saw the episode of Friends where Rachel gives out the whole bowl of candy to one girl dressed as a ballerina. Yep, that's me. lol
[@Dee]: That's really fun, One day I'll get to do that, but for now, I have to take my kids trick-or-treating , I wish someone give us the whole bowl of candies, my kids will go crazy! lol have fun!!
We usually go to a harvest party at our church... The kids really enjoy it.
[@Lozenge]: That sounds fun, glad to hear that the kids enjoy it!
Have fun too, Jiovanna!
I don't like Halloween although I buy sweets to give out each year. I don't like scary masks!
[@Angela]: That's good, at least you will have some fun, giving out candy for the kids
Okay, my Sweetie and I just spent $50 on candy at Target after using coupons and discounts! I'm still not sure if it will be enough candy, lol!
No plans. We don't really celebrate Halloween in Australia although it is becoming more popular.
[@Dee]: It was enough candy?? lol >.< we got there early, we really got some good candies and the kids had so much fun, even my little one, they were behaving and saying thank you to every person who was handing them candy!
[@Wendy]: Maybe in the future you should go out and see how fun has becoming
Jiovanna- I'm so happy your kids had fun! Since it was raining, I started giving out handfuls of candy because I didn't want to have too much left over, lol! That definitely made the kids happy - even with all the rain.
[@Dee]: That was so nice of you I'm sure the kids were very happy!!!

- 8 cups prepared brown rice hot (3raw)
- 1 sweet red pepper diced
- 1 medium sized red onion sliced thin, chopped
- 1 small bunch green onions sliced thin
- 1 cup Craisens 5 oz. package
- 10 oz. package frozen peas rinsed with boiling water, drained
- ½ cup black olives pitted, sliced (2.25 oz. can)
- ½ cup chopped Italian parsley
- ½ cup chopped fresh dill
- 1 pound bacon fried crisp and crumbled (optional)
- 1 cup vinaigrette dressing
- In large mixing bowl, while still warm, mix all ingredients, add vinaigrette and toss to mix well.
- Serve immediately at room temperature or chill.
- Serve with fresh cold watermelon and crusty bread.
~ WOW! Great mix of fresh flavors and so versatile - easy to cut in half or modify to taste.
~ I made it once with brown rice and once with quinoa, both were fabulous.
~ I steamed the grains the night before while cleaning up after dinner, chilled them overnight and put the salad together the next night for supper. Added peas, still frozen, they thaw in a minute and helped chill the salad.
~ I omitted the red onion, green onions were enough for us. Make it to your family's taste.
~ I tossed salad with ½ cup lemon juice and ½ cup olive oil, then added just enough Newman's Own Balsamic Vinaigrette to get to desired consistency. The lemon compliments the dill well, so your favorite lemon vinaigrette would be very good too.
~ Perfect for seafood, hot or chilled. Would be great with grilled or broiled chicken.
