Pants Reveal/Review: Simplicity 2700
Final Outcome: I LOVE these pants. They are comfy and (IMHO) look great on; I could not wait even one day to wear them. But how should I review the pattern? I started with the Simplicity 2700 Amazing Fit Pants pattern, but after 4.5 muslins and multiple rounds of changes, is it really fair to review this pattern? The pants look like what came out of the envelope style-wise, but they are only distantly related fit-wise. However, there is a lot to like about the Simplicity Amazing Fit line of patterns: separate pieces for slim, average, and curvy fit help you start from a better place, one inch seam allowances leave lots of room for making adjustments, and on this particular pattern the shape of the leg is flattering and the pocket styling is nice, too. That said, Simplicity's instructions are not always 100% clear, although I found these to be ok. That said, I didn't bother to use their zipper or waistband procedures. The end result is that I think (fingers crossed) that I may finally have a TNT pants pattern. We'll see how they sew up in my next two attempts...
Speaking of which, this weekend I also cut out all the pieces for my next two pants. Here are the details:
I am already sewing up a version in this light grey wool suiting bought at Metro Textiles last October. Kashi told me that the fabric is from the Loro Piana mill in Connecticut, and I believe him. The hand is beautiful and so far it is a dream to work with. I'm using a remnant of blue-grey pinstriped cotton for the pocketing and waistband facing. I'm lining these pants in a grey bemberger rayon.
And here is the darker grey Armani pinstripe fabric that my mom gave me for my last birthday, which is also cut and ready to go. I've decided to omit the hip pockets on this version of the pants, and instead am going to attempt to do back welt or bound pockets. Wish me luck, since this will be a new technique for me. I am also lining these pants. For the waistband facings and the pocketing, I'm using the pictured orange and brown cotton print. I've discovered that this is the perfect use for remnants of fabric from past projects. This fabric was left over from the clutch I made for Calliope, one of my very first projects.
It is also time to start amassing the materials for my Lady Grey Jacket. Muslin sewing will commence next week!

Your pants look lovely. I have that Simplicity pattern but haven't tried it out yet. I love the facing material you choose for your next pair. I think it is so cool when facings are in a contrast decorative fabric.

I think you got spammed. How weird!
Your pants are great! You look fabulous in them! Since I've been back to work, my sewing ambitions have subsided. So, it is really great to live vicariously through yours!!
Miss you!

Digital Britain: Empowered by Video Collaboration
I have written before about the proliferation of Video and how this has arrived in a big way; people everywhere are watching more video online. They can choose when they watch their favourite TV shows, whether that is through their set-top box or web based players, such as the BBC iPlayer.
Consumers are producers as well – they're making videos and sharing them faster than we can watch them. Video applications are also being adopted in the business world at an accelerated rate.
As an example, employee training is being conducted via VoD (Video on Demand) and company-wide communications can be easily recorded and distributed for team members to watch when they are able.
Video Collaboration in Action
Advances in video communications technology has made it easier for people to conduct face-to-face meetings — or should I say, screen to screen — between multiple locations that are separated by different time zones. My own observation, however, is that some people are still reluctant to harness the full potential of this amazing capability.
That said, I know there's a bold initiative using the power of video within a not-for-profit organisation, The Dialogue Cafe Association. The idea is not new; bring people together to discuss Civic issues and develop a new way of thinking. However, their vision is much bigger – to do it on a global scale.
The notion of a Dialogue Cafe is to connect geographically dispersed people together using High-Definition Immersive Video to discuss social and civic issues, in a worldwide forum. The Association itself is a collaboration of global partners including; The Social Innovation eXchange, OceanLab and Cisco, to name a few.
Another compelling scenario, where virtual collaboration can have a huge impact, is actually top-of-mind for my entrepreneur friends in Shoreditch. That's ready access to the all important Angel investor community.
Granted, the evolving UK venture capital marketplace is not as developed or as accessible as the Silicon Valley in California. With a plethora of potential investments, experienced early-stage American investors can more easily spread the risk of a new venture.
So, how can video technology help these UK entrepreneurs fund their start-up business?
The Cisco IBSG team has successfully piloted the practical application of TelePresence systems to concurrently connect the UK entrepreneurs with potential investors — thereby enabling a one-to-many investment opportunity presentation. This could mean that the headache of airport security hassles and a 13 hour international flight — for a single investor pitch — will now be a thing of the past.
However, we must not forget that savvy investors will always demand direct contact with the entrepreneurs whose ideas appeal to them. They want to meet them in person, before they consider conducting a financial transaction with them.
So, eventually the in-person meeting must happen – but it's much more rewarding when the flight you have to take is for the sole purpose of closing that greatly anticipated seed funding deal.
The Future of Video Collaboration
Video collaboration technology is here today and it's providing a much-needed economic impact.
Sir Philip Green discussed this objective in his Spending Review for new cost reduction programs within the British government, but this is just one use. I have heard of high-end product designers using video communication for quality inspection applications — rather than transporting busy executives to remote manufacturing plants.
As I see it, the question is not if or when, it's how. Can you describe how you're going to use High Definition video collaboration tools to improve and streamline your own business processes?
Furthermore, do you believe that this progressive method of providing access to Angel investment will help to advance new start-up business opportunities in the UK marketplace?

|HIV Infections Schizophrenia Schizoaffective Disorder Bipolar Disorder Depression Substance Abuse
|Drug: Twinrix Behavioral: Enhanced treatment as usual
|Phase 2
People who have been dually diagnosed with a severe mental illness and a substance abuse disorder are at an elevated risk for contracting blood-borne infections, such as HIV, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C virus (HCV). Prevention, early detection, and treatment for these diseases are essential for this particular population. Research has shown that rates of HCV infection are 11 times higher in people with mental illnesses than in the general population. People with mental health illnesses and those with dual diagnoses should receive basic CDC-recommended services for risk screening and testing of HIV infection, AIDS, and hepatitis. They should also receive hepatitis A and B immunizations, risk reduction counseling, and referrals for medical care. However, most people with severe mental illnesses and substance abuse disorders do not receive the care they need. The STIRR (screen, test, immunize, reduce risk, and refer) intervention will provide necessary prevention and treatment services to an at-risk, under-treated population. This study will determine the effectiveness of the STIRR intervention in increasing rates of testing, immunization, referral, and treatment for blood-borne diseases, such as hepatitis and HIV, in people with both a mental disorder and a substance abuse disorder.
Participants in this open-label study will be recruited from two publicly funded community mental health agencies in Baltimore, MD. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either enhanced treatment as usual or the STIRR intervention. Individuals assigned to STIRR will attend three sessions over the course of 6 months. The first session will involve education, personalized risk assessment, risk reduction counseling, pre-test counseling, blood testing, and an initial immunization with Twinrix for hepatitis A and B viruses (HAV and HBV). At the second session, participants will receive their test results, as well as post-test and risk reduction counseling, medical referral and linkage, if necessary, and a second Twinrix immunization. The third session will include an assessment of risk level and reinforcement of risk reduction, a final immunization, an assessment of progress on treatment and linkage, and behavior reinforcement or modification. Enhanced treatment as usual will entail comprehensive mental health services provided at each study site, education about blood-borne diseases, and referral to a local community health provider for blood testing, HAV and HBV immunizations, and any necessary treatments. All participants will be assessed for treatment outcomes at Month 6. A 12-month post-intervention follow-up will be carried out with the infected participants in the STIRR group to evaluate quality of care.

Wayland fine arts providing plenty of community activities
Ideally, a university and its community should be tightly woven together, with both relying on each other as resources. In the area of fine arts, that is definitely the case at Wayland Baptist University.
Wayland's Harral Memorial Auditorium is frequently the hub of many activities, including the Plainview Community Concerts and recitals by local performing arts groups. The 1,300-seat facility is ideal for events of every caliber and is booked regularly by groups outside the university.
Wayland's numerous performing groups also provide Plainview with cultural opportunities from art exhibits to theatre performances and concerts. Reasonable ticket prices - in some cases, even without charge - make events possible for a date night or for family entertainment.
The benefits go both ways. Wayland students gain valuable experience in performance before audiences and all that entails, and the public gets to enjoy the arts from a different perspective.
Wayland's music department is revered for its strong academic programs and offerings in instrumental, vocal and church music studies. But its performing groups are community favorites. Choral groups vary from the more formal International Choir, which performs traditional arrangements, classic songs in various languages and a capella selections, to the more contemporary Spirit, an 8-member ensemble that performs show tunes, patriotic programs and more contemporary favorites with choreography. Dr. Scott Herrington directs the International Choir, while Robert Black directs Spirit. Two other student groups - Wayland Singing Men and Wayland Singing Women - perform concerts each semester both separately and combined, presenting a varied program.
On the instrumental side, Wayland boasts an impressive band, which performs several concerts of its own and joins with choral groups frequently for their performances. Timothy Kelley directs the band and orchestral programs. Dr. Ann Stutes directs the Wayland Handbell Ensemble, also an active group with performances in a variety of venues.
Wayland's music faculty often present recital of their own during the semesters. Dr. Carl Moman, fine arts chair, presents an annual vocal recital, as does Mark Anthony Pair, pianist. Dr. Gary Belshaw also does piano recitals. Graduating music students also give required senior recitals that are open to the public.
Wayland's music groups join forces for a Christmas spectacular concert each year titled American Family Christmas. This free event is a family favorite to welcome in the holidays.
On the other side of the Harral Arts Complex, Wayland's theatre department is typically busy rehearsing, building sets or preparing for their four annual performances. Under the direction of Dr. Marti Runnels, Wayland Theatre typically presents one larger show in the fall, staged two weekends during Wayland's homecoming, and two shows in the spring. A production of short vignettes directed by students - called Shorts - is presented in early fall. The final show of the season is usually a dinner theatre with a meal offered in Harral Auditorium. Harral Studio Theatre, known by many as the Black Box, is home to theatre productions.
This year's fall show was the Agatha Christie murder mystery The Mousetrap. The drama The Elephant Man is planned for Feb. 28, March 1 and 2. Art, a comedy with a cast of three, will be performed April 18-20 and 26-27. Tickets are $7 per person for adults, $3 for students college age and under.
The theatre group also participates in the Christian University Theatre Festival, which Wayland has hosted several times. This year, the festival will be held at Hardin-Simmons University in Abilene, with the Wayland group performing The Elephant Man.
For art lovers, the Abraham Art Gallery, located in the lower floor of the Mabee Learning Resources Center, offers regular exhibits in a beautiful facility. Dr. Candace Keller serves as associate professor of art and curator for the gallery, which was opened in 1995 with the completion of the LRC. The gallery hosts several exhibits yearly, ranging from works of professional artists to student work. Wayland hosts the West Texas Regional Scholastic Art Awards competition each year and 400 of those pieces are on display at the gallery through Feb. 15. Exhibits of work by graduating senior art students are also featured in the gallery, which is free to the public.

Has anyone had any luck with the -geometry option working fully?
I have tried it with -geometry 80x4+20+10 and have had no luck with positioning of a window.
If I understand it correctly, the first part is character size of windows and the second is placement by pixel addressing.
But the second part supposedly can be changed by adding a suffix of c to it.
Or is it prefix?
Can't remember right now.

The only problem is that the GUI won`t know when Xterm is finished.
In some of my apps. like this that was a problem, it may not be for yours.
One of my problems was to get text output of the external program to display while it was running.
But if I use rxvt or xterm [name of program] and have it send it's output to a temporary file to be read and displayed,
the external program completes before the routine to display the text starts.
Also, if I use rxvt [name of program] with an rxvt window, if the program has an error, it is sent to rxvt only and rxvt exits with no error
so checking for errors of the program run via rxvt is driving me nuts.

I tried that approach with running the external program in the background with it's output directed to a /temp/file and the tailings routine waited for the external program to finish before it ran.
As a result, only the tailings of the output from the external program were displayed.
Now on to another thing.
First, the -geometry option works!
You can try it in a terminal to bring up another terminal by typing
#rxvt -geometry 40x15+480+400
The 40x15 is character size of window.
The 480+400 is window position by pixel in format of horizontal+vertical.
Does anyone know if it is possible to pass an error code from an external program run with rxvt -e back to the gtkdialog script?
When the external program is run with rxvt -e, and has an error, it passes it to rxvt, which closes without passing along the error to the script.

8-bit; Why did you have the tail output app. wait for rxvt to finish?
I thought that you wanted it to show it`s output interactively.
To answer your last Q:
First do you expect the parent app. to know what the child app. is doing
while the child is running, or get the error after the child finishes?
If after... Run it like this:
. rxvt -e
If during... The child writes a /tmp file and the parent watches for it.

The code you gave ". rxvt -e [program name] gives an error of not having a filename.
". /tmp/[filename] rxvt -e [program name]" gives file not found unless you create one.
".rxvt -e [program name] gives Command not found.
And even then it does not change the /tmp/file in any way.
Also, when I used tailing, the first output lines of the external program that ended with with a carriage return/linefeed displayed fine in window.
After that, the output lines of the external program were termiated by ctrl-M and kicked back an error not displaying in window.
As you gathered, I am not much of a programmer, but I try to learn as I go along and mostly by examining code and researching problems.

You need to describe more what you are trying to do I guess.
You want to run your formatter app. and what does it display exactly?

It displays a main screen when you start the program with options of disk size, low level and dos filesystem.
You do your selections, click OK, and a message comes up asking you to insert a writable unmounted disk.
(That message was interim to getting error checking.)
Then the main screen is replaced by the ufiformat screen that displays 2 lines. The first stays intact while the window is open. The second line overwrites itself as formatting progresses.
After the mkdosfs screen or the ufiformat screen completes, a message box comes up to signify it and then the main screen reappears.
You exit it and the program with the QUIT button.

I`m not sure what the problem is, the 2 Xterms don`t popup?
Or you want the GUI to stay visible while the Xterms do their work?
You may be able to auto. detect if the floppy is a 720K or 1440K.
The 720K floppy disks don`t have a hole in the corner,
but not all floppy drives have a sensor to detect it. I think...

I am using rxvt sized and positioned windows which pop up fine and disappear on completion returning to the main window after a completion message.
I am still trying to get any errors from the command run in rxvt to be returned to my gtkdialog script to act upon.
I have tried a few different types of error checking and none seem to work.
Lets say the write protect tab is set on the floppy.
ufiformat or mkdosfs run in a terminal window return an error to the terminal window and it closes.
But the instance of rxvt does not return the error to the script.
If I run them directly, my error checking works, but I have no display window.
And again, the tailings routine using a temp file does not seem to work.
I think it has to do with the format of the text it is sending to the temp file when acted upon by the tailings function.

So the error is text displayed in rxvt from the floppy utility it`s running?
Make this script:
(command to run floppy utility)
echo $? > /tmp/floppyUtil.err
Have the GUI run rxvt and it runs this script instead of the floppy utility.
The last line writes the error code returned by the utility to a /tmp file.
Have the GUI monitor the /tmp file and display your own error text.
Have the GUI look for the /tmp file, it appears when rxvt is done.
(command to run rxvt and above script)
while :
sleep 2
if [ -e /tmp/floppyUtil.err ];then
rm -f /tmp/floppyUtil.err
$ERR has the error code that you write popup warning screens for.
You must make the utility error all of the errors to get the codes.
But... The error codes may be the same for some errors.

Well, I tried your example scripts with my internal and external script and though a tmp file was created, it returned a zero with and without the floppy inserted.
The pop up window was mainly to let the user see what was happening.
But to a certain extent, that is geeky.
So I am running the externals directly from the script with a persistant message that stays until the external process finishes or kicks back an error.
The script then handles the error, displays a message, and takes one back to the main menu.
I tried to borrow the error handling from Barry's floppy-format script and it works for low level formating even with a retry option.
But for the mkdosfs function, the retry button reruns the lowlevel function and not the mkdosfs function.
So at this point, I can remove the retry buttons and just have the script return to the main menu after displaying the error message.
Works for me anyway.
One more comment is that I have a box of poor quality floppys I was using for testing. After a bunch of reformats, they failed.
I do not blame this on the program as the same disks failed with Microsoft too!
So now, it is just a matter of creating a Pet package with my GTKdialog script, a desktop file, and the ufiformat package with the man page.
So, do you think a pop up message box that says "Please Wait....Formatting Disk" or "Writing dos filesystem to disk would suffice?
And, those messages are only seen if there are no errors.

That sort of message is how Barry does it...
Yeah, floppys are about as unreliable as the government.
I think everyone is using USB drives, even FireWire is on it`s way out.

As to floppys being unreliable, I have a very old Osborne Luggable Portable running CPM that still boots from a 5.25" floppy that still boots up.
Seems like a word processor as well as a few utilities were included on it.
The monocrome 6" screen still works too.
But the keyboard is showing it's age.

John Kolius Delivers a 'Knock Out' Performance to Win the 2008 Melges 24 ACC, Blouin Overtakes Corinthian Division
23 November 2008
John Kolius on USA-776 KO Sailing from LaPorte, Tx. and crew David Clement, David Whelan and Nicolas Guzman scored two more wins on Sunday to take the title of 2008 Melges 24 Atlantic Coast Champions. From the very start, Kolius and team came out swinging. "Yesterday was physically demanding. Today it was very mental. We were very, very fortunate," commented Kolius.
It was another spectacular day for the Melges 24 fleet in Tampa, Fla. It's pretty safe to say that the the class raced and sailed every bit of breeze that Davis Island Yacht Club could muster. Sunday started out pretty decent but as the hours passed, racing turned more into torcher than pleasure as by the potential third race of the day, the wind had virtually disappeared not to mention shifted almost 100 degrees. Needless to say the fleet was pleased to return to the docks to haul the boats, pack the kits and travel home rather than sail a daunting third race.
USMCA Southeast District Governor Steve Kopf on USA-773 Blur from Charleston, S.C. would have loved the opportunity to regain the lead from Kolius, but the wind gods refused to cooperate. The old saying 'it ain't over, until it's over' certainly applied to the two, intense, light air races conducted under beautiful blue skies and calm seas. They made yesterday's four look like total no-brainers. For Kopf and his talented team of Michael Miller, John Milligan and Chuck Coyer it spelled grave disappointment. Kopf was clearly winning the regatta right up until the second race. A poor start resulted in an eighth place finish. "That's sailboat racing," said Kopf. "We had really good line position on that start. We pulled up alongside of Jeff Duval, who was just bookin' and then he dipped back and he took off. That's when I realized that we may have made a mistake."
Travis Weisleder from Richmond, Va. on USA-605 Carloan.com landed third overall with Ed Furry, Skip Dieball and John Wake acting as crew. "I'm coming back." said Weisleder on Friday night as he addressed the fleet during the skippers meeting. "George (Haynie) said this place was wonderful and he was right. I am very much looking forward to returning to race here. You can be sure that I will pass the word around how really cool DIYC is."
For those of you who opted not to come to the 2008 ACC — it is suggested that you should think twice about this next year. The Davis Island Yacht Club is a really great place. The sailing, facilities and race committee are one of the most hospitable and inviting you'll ever visit. We can truly say 'they get it' when it comes to the Melges 24. PRO Eric Robbins and his team delivered six solid races. They were professional and were organized from start to finish, made solid decisions and this regatta one of the brightest events of 2008!
Another very special thank you also goes out to Melges 24 Owner George Haynie. At the 2008 Nationals, after receiving the devastating news that the class would be unable to return to Florida Yacht Club for the King's Day Regatta, George came forward and volunteered. With a unanimous vote at the USMCA AGM (also held at Nationals) the event was voted in, and the rest is history. Regattas are a great deal of work and George promised, and he delivered!
The 2008 ACC was also the last event on the Southeast Championship Circuit. This year, the award goes to Steve Kopf. He is also the 2008 Northeast District Champion as well. "This is such a great class," said Kopf. "I plan to go home, and hope everyone else does the same, is tell your friends what a great club this is, how much fun they missed."
The 2008 Melges 24 Corinthian Atlantic Coast Championship title goes to Joe Blouin from Tampa, Fla. on USA-719 Wicked Witch. Blouin has only been in the class for a year, and already he and his team of Nick Bradford, Mark and Gabe Rodgers have witnessed success. "We feel like we are kind of getting the hang of this. There are still many things we need to work on but, overall we are really having fun and enjoying the fleet," said Blouin who finished fourth overall. In sixth overall and second in the Corinthian standings is Bob Kroetsch on USA-457 Rogue. Rob Butler on CAN-177 Eager Beaver from Ontario, Canada took seventh overall and third in Corinthian.

Evening classes canceled Feb. 7, 2018. Learn more.
Home | Academics | Our Schools | School of Arts and Sciences | Arts and Sciences News and Features
Point Park University's Confluence Psychology Alliance student group recently sponsored a training trip to the Pittsburgh Action Against Rape office.
During the visit, undergraduate and graduate psychology students met with Laura Summers, education and training specialist for PAAR.
"Students experienced informative and moving lectures and activities. They also toured the facilities, which were impressive and welcoming," remarked Robert McInerney, Ph.D., associate professor of psychology and founder and advisor of Confluence Psychology Alliance.
Topics covered at the training included what consent means, how to respond to a disclosure of sexual violence and how to intervene on behalf of a victim.
"After seeing PAAR's facilities and hearing about their art therapy programs with children, I've become really interested in pursing a career as an art therapist," said Calla Kainaroi, a junior psychology major and co-chair of Confluence Psychology Alliance.
According to Leatra Tate, who is pursuing her M.A. in clinical-community psychology, trips like this are not only important for psychology students but the entire Point Park community. "They allow everyone to step outside of the on-campus bubble and to better understand the issues in our community in a very real and authentic way. It's a great opportunity to learn from passionate facilitators who deal with these issues on a daily basis," Tate explained.

Assignment 24-5
Do you need a telescope to enjoy the sky?
This is a very important question to answer. The truth is, you do not need a telescope to enjoy looking at the sky. You will never see anything as pretty through a telescope as you will looking at the sky with your naked eyes. Even using binoculars is more fun. That is because the more powerful the object you use, the smaller the field of view gets. With very powerful telescopes, you only get to look at a very small part of the sky.
I have decided I want to buy a telescope:
If you have set your mind on buying a telescope, let me give you some advice. First of all, before you even open the box to your new telescope, make sure you have already learned the constellations. Otherwise you will not be able to find anything in the sky. You will get frustrated and probably put your new telescope back in its box.
There are a few numbers you need to find on the telescope which will help you decide whether or not you want to purchase it. The first number is the Focal Length. That is the distance from the mirror, or objective lens, to the lens in your eyepiece.
If the telescope has a high focal length, it is going to be more powerful, but it will give you dimmer views of whatever you are looking at. If the telescope has a low focal length, your telescope will be less powerful, but have brighter views. I can't tell you what a good focal length is because that depends on the size of the mirror, or object lens, and what you want to use the telescope for.
The next number, though, will help you determine whether or not the focal length is what you are looking for. This number is called the Focal Ratio. A high focal ratio means your focal length is also high. It will look like this on the telescope: F/6, or F/4, or F/(any number). F/8 is high, or what we call slow. If you are only after magnification power, this is the best telescope for you. F/4 is low, or what we call fast. If you want bright images such as for taking pictures, then you want a fast focal ratio.
The last number you need to be aware of, and by far the most important, is the diameter of the mirror, or objective lens. The bigger the diameter the more light your telescope will be able to gather. This will allow you to see faint objects because the larger mirror will gather more light.
A four inch mirror, which is what many people start out with, is a good beginner size, mainly because it is the cheapest. With a four inch mirror you will be able to see many neat objects, including the rings of Saturn and the clouds of Jupiter. My telescope has a ten inch mirror.
Notice that I did not include power as a number you need to watch for when buying a telescope. That is because power is not important. The truth is, any telescope can have any power.
When you buy your telescope it will probably include two or three eyepieces. Each eyepiece will have a number written somewhere on it. This is the focal length of the eyepiece. To find the power that your telescope will have with an eyepiece, divide the focal length of the telescope by the focal length of your eyepiece.
If my telescope's focal length is 910 mm and my eyepiece has a focal length of 25 mm, then the power of my telescope with that eyepiece is 910 divided by 25, which is 36. So the power of my telescope is 36, or in other words, objects will be magnified 36 times.
You can also buy a special lens called a Barlow lens. This lens will double or even triple the power of your telescope.
If my telescope has a focal length of 910 mm and the eyepiece has a focal length of 4 mm, then my telescope's power will be 910 divided by 4. This gives a power of 227. Objects will be magnified 227 times. If I have a Barlow lens, I can increase that to 445 or even 682. However, if your mirror is not large enough, objects at that distance will be too dim for you to see them. All you will see is darkness.
Assignment # 5
Is the power of a telescope important? Why or why not?
If my telescope has a focal length of 1000 and my eyepiece has a focal length of 10, how many times will my telescope magnify objects? What if I use a 2x Barlow lens which doubles the power? What if I use a 3x Barlow lens which triples the power of an eyepiece?
Check your answer
The power of a telescope can be increased simply by changing the eyepiece.
100 times, 200 times, 300 times.

Vladimir Putin has said that Russia finds the Kosovo authorities' decision to create their own army regrettable and sees it as another risk of destabilization of the situation in the Balkans.
"Regrettably, Kosovo's authorities took a series of provocative steps lately, thus greatly aggravating the situation. In the first place I have in mind their decision of December 14 to form a so-called army in Kosovo," Putin told a news conference. "It goes without saying that this is a direct violation of the UN resolution, which does not allow for the creation of any paramilitary forces except for the international UN contingent."
"Such irresponsible steps by Kosovo's authorities may cause destabilization in the Balkans," he warned. Source: Tass
The German government is debating whether to follow the United States and allies such as Australia in restricting China's Huawei Technologies from accessing its next-generation mobile networks on national-security grounds.

Huawei says such concerns are unfounded. Source: The Irish Time

How to Build a Locked-Down Installation of Puppy
The forum often has requests for a method to lock down Puppy so nothing can be changed. Many of the replies involve remastering the Live CD. Here is another procedure that may be simpler to manage.
The basic idea is to create a pup_save file and make a backup copy of it. Whenever Puppy is booted, the backup version is copied onto the current version. The user always starts with a pristine pup_save and any changes that are made during a session will disappear on the next boot.
Because this will involve modifying the Puppy initrd.gz file, you may want to make a backup copy in case of problems. Or, if necessary, you can boot off the Live CD and copy the original version from the CD.
The attachment below contains MU's editinit script. Unpack it and save the script in /mnt/home in the the same folder as the initrd.gz file.
Your /mnt/home folder must be formatted as ext for this procedure to work. If it is a FAT or NTFS partition, copy the initrd.gz file into /root. Make the changes and copy it back to its original location.
While still in the Puppy folder, open a terminal and type the command:
This will unpack the initrd.gz and open it in leafpad.
Locate the line ##### FINDING PUPPY FILES ##### . In old Puppies, it will be somewhere between lines 300 and 500. In new Puppies it's closer to 700.
In the space ABOVE this line, add the following code. This example is designed for an install of Puppy 4.3.1 on partition sda1 in the folder puppy431. Its savefile is named pup_save.2fs. You will need to modify it for your particular setup.
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/data
cp /mnt/data/puppy431/pup_save.bak /mnt/data/puppy431/pup_save.2fs
umount /mnt/data
For an install of Slacko on sda2 in a folder using a 3fs savefile, it would be
mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/data
cp /mnt/data/slacko/slackosave.bak /mnt/data/slacko/slackosave.3fs
umount /mnt/data
On a FAT32 flash drive, use
sleep 3
mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /mnt/data
cp /mnt/data/slackosave.bak /mnt/data/slackosave.3fs
umount /mnt/data
Save and exit. MU's script will repack the initrd.gz.
Reboot Puppy and verify that it still works. At the moment, nothing has changed because the pup_save.bak file does not exist yet.
Configure your Puppy install. When done, boot off the Live CD using the "puppy pfix=ram" option. Go to the Puppy folder and rename your pup_save.2fs as pup_save.bak.
Reboot normally. As a test, add or delete some files. Reboot. The original setup will be restored.
You may eventually need to modify your locked-down pup_save file. Run Puppy, make the changes and exit as usual. Boot from the Live CD with "puppy pfix=ram". Delete the old pup_save.bak. Rename the updated pup_save.2fs as pup_save.bak.
It's also easy to unlock the machine. Just delete the pup_save.bak.
This procedure should also solve the problem of unattended machines that experience a power failure and need a manual "xwin" restart.

On a default frugal install, would the lock-down procedure prevent users from saving browser bookmarks, word processing documents, etc., or are those things saved by default to /mnt/home or somewhere else outside of the pup_save file?

Most (all?) applications will save by default to /root, so any user data would be lost on a reboot. But there are ways around this.
In Firefox, you can move the hidden profile from /root/.mozilla to /mnt/home outside of the pup_save and replace it with a symlink.
You could do the same thing with any configuration folders like .gxine where the playlist is stored.
Similarly, the folder /root/my-documents could be symlinked to an external location. Users would just need to remember to save to that folder instead of directly into /root.

rcrsn51 thanks indeed for sharing this way to do it.
I've not tested it yet but it sure looks very interesting.
I use Google Search on Puppy Forum
not an ideal solution though

Thanks for the guide
Any help please with editing the initrd.gz file? using the script fails as it relies on having leafpad which was not installed.
so I installed leafpad with no change! Leafpad is unable to read the file. (some kind of language encoding error..)
edited the file on a windows machine using notepad++ however more issues copying the script into the file where described, anyhow linux panic crashed when loading the file after repacking with 7zip.
Am using macpup520

Could this inird.gz editor change the needed part and rebuild it in same way and using geany editior instead?
or can the original script change to geany or has it to do with Leafpad being able to do things that Geany fail to do. Export in a particular format or something?

Open the editinit script in a text editor and change Line 10 from "leafpad init" to "geany init".
To turn on line numbering in Geany, look in View > Editor.

Also changed the script to open geany which results in an open page, empty with only one line. noted the error message "encoding not supported"
Already tried unpacking the file manually and have attempted to open with every text editor available, with no luck.
Also tried opening the file with the appropriate devx loaded
am still trying though, perhaps an older live puppy cd? I'm not without some resources yet am new to Linux
Meanwhile am working on the above inird.gz editor script

ok, watching the process I see the initrd.gz file unpacked, which creates a directory named "puppy-init" and a file named initrd the reason leaf or geany or any other text editor can not open the files is because neither file is a text file.
There are however text files buried within the directory "puppy-init" not of them are the correct file. I have previously seen the text entry we are looking for but so far have not been able to edit it..
It is my observation that the file "init" is not being unpacked correctly..
The only file which only remotely resembles the file described is one named "debug-init" ??
Both scripts unpack and repack (occasionally with some error..) however the file "init" can not be found..

I just did a fresh frugal install of Macpup520 in an ext3 partition.
I copied the editinit script to the same location as the initrd.gz file and ran it.
The script ran correctly. However, it uses NicoEdit as a replacement for leafpad. This happens in most recent Puppies where leafpad has been replaced with NicoEdit.
So I have no idea why you are getting different results. Have you changed your locale to something other than the default? Are you working in an ext partition?

WOW!! thanks for testing the script
this means I'm officially going out of my mind
yes ext3 partition and yes the default editor is NicoEdit however none of the text editors can find a file to open
used both scripts which unpack to directories named "puppy-init" or "initrd-editor" but no text editor can find any file to open

As far as the local is concerned I am completely baffled and exhausted by the directory hierarchy structure despite much reading on the topic. I'm absolutely confused as to the need for so many hard links... While I fully understand symbolic linking am still trying to understand this structure.. but am going to save this for another day
Meanwhile when booted to a live cd I found the initrd.gz in /mnt/sda1/puppy520 within a fugal install, so I placed the scripts in this directory and ran them from there..

I know you are still working on it, but the only critique I would have is the wings being essentially rectangles. I don't know if there is a way for you to taper them in one direction or another. But that's a small matter; it is quite excellent.

Every capo comes with a microfiber cleaning/gig pouch along with our Standard Tension & our High Tension (formally XL) Rubber Fretpad Tuning kits, which each include 7 different fretpads designed to fit a range of instruments with the following radii: 0" for Classical, 7.25". 9.5", 10", 12", 15" & 16". (14 FRETPADS IN TOTAL) The High Tension Fretpads are 2mm taller than our standard tension fretpads, so these are needed for 12-string guitars, Ukuleles, Banjos and certain guitars with low profile necks.
To see what fretpad you will need for your guitar, you can check out our fretboard radius database
Thalia Capos is committed to quality and all Thalia Capos come with a LIFETIME WARRANTY; this includes the mechanical function of the capo including the spring, lever and housing of the capo. If something goes wrong drop us a line at firstname.lastname@example.com and we will fix it or provide you with a replacement.
This warranty is only available to the original purchaser through ThaliaCapos.com or our company stores on other e-commerce sites and is not transferable. If you received the Thalia Capo as a gift, please let us know who you received it from when you contact support with a warranty claim. Please note that this warranty does not cover misuse, accidental damage or scratches to the metal finish.
You can use a Thalia Capo on a 12-String, 8-String, Ukulele, Banjo or Mandolin, but you will most likely need our High Tension Rubber Fretpads (formally XL) which are 2mm taller than our standard 6-string guitar fretpads. THESE FRETPADS ARE NOW INCLUDED with every capo so you don't need anything else!
All of our capos come packaged in our retail packaging, which includes a polycarbonate jewel case, quick-start guide, microfiber gig bag, santos rosewood pick and a Thalia sticker.
For an even better gifting experience, considering upgrading to our Celebrity Gift Box which includes 2-pull out drawers with a slot for each of the 14 fretpads included with every capo (also includes other items included with standard packaging); you can find our Celebrity Gift Box here

Tribler (64-bit) v7.2.0-exp1
Vista / Win10 / Win7 / Win8 / WinXP
Tribler is based on the BitTorrent protocol and uses an overlay network for content searching. Due to this overlay network Tribler does not require an external website or indexing service to discover content. Tribler features include: video-only searching, experimental video streaming, and an integrated video player.
The name Tribler stems from the word Tribe, referring to the usage of social networks in this P2P client. The first version of Tribler was a small enhancement on the ABC (Yet Another BitTorrent Client)
Developed by a team of researchers at Delft University of Technology, the main goal is to come up with a robust implementation of BitTorrent that doesn?t rely on central servers. Instead, Tribler is designed to keep BitTorrent alive, even when all torrent search engines, indexes and trackers are pulled offline.

As soon as plans for Rhode Island Interscholastic League realignment were announced before last spring, it was easy to predict that the Toll Gate tennis team wouldn't be a good fit in Division I. The Titans, who had gone 1-15 the year before in Division II, went 1-15 again last year in their first Division I season.
As the 2012 season opens, the Titans find themselves in Division I again and facing a tough challenge. They don't have the depth or the tennis experience of the top teams in the league.
But in terms of the intangibles, new head coach Tamra Gallo thinks they fit right in.
"We're in Division I, which is tough," Gallo said. "We don't have the depth that a lot of teams have, but we've got heart. They're out to have a good time and that's key. They're very, very nice boys. I'm thrilled."
Gallo is stepping in for Gary McCoombs, who had to give up the position after becoming the interim principal at an elementary school in Warwick. Gallo, a math teacher at Toll Gate, hasn't coached before but has played a lot of tennis. When she was asked to take over, she didn't hesitate.
"I was approached by a couple of kids and the A.D," Gallo said. "It's a really great group of kids. I don't know anybody who would mind working with them."
Gallo inherits a team with a variety of experience and skill levels, but one that's ready to compete day in and day out. The Titans are more experienced in general than they were last year, and they've also got a year of Division I tennis under their belts.
While the competition will still be difficult, the Titans at least know what to expect.
Leading the way for the Titans will be their top three singles players, all of whom played on the singles ladder last season.
Junior Justin Allen has vaulted into the top spot after playing No. 2 a year ago, senior Rick Weedon – a four-year starter – is playing No. 2 singles, and senior Ian Nelson jumps to No. 3 after playing in the fourth spot last year.
Despite their experience, those three will face uphill battles as they go against the top players in the state, but Gallo thinks they'll be able to hold their own. In last Thursday's match against Hendricken, Weedon played well against Hawks senior Evan Chomka before losing 6-2, 6-1.
"I think [they can compete], and I think as the season goes on, we'll see some more improvement," Gallo said.
Senior Nate McGuire, a doubles player last year, rounds out the singles lineup in the fourth spot.
The doubles teams don't have as much experience, but they're showing potential. Freshmen Brandyn Garrahy and Dan Smith have jumped right into the No. 1 singles spot. Sophomore Jeremy Cullen, a returning player, is teaming with junior Nick Czabanowski at No. 2 doubles. Senior Patrick Worrell and freshman Curtis LoCicero are playing No. 3 doubles. Sophomore Kyle Gray and freshman Hunter Heberg are also on the roster.
"It's a real mix," Gallo said. "I have a couple of kids who have never played before, and I have one who's from Turkey and didn't speak any English last year. But the kids have welcomed him with open arms. It's an awesome group."
Ultimately, that should pave the way for a good season, regardless of the win-loss record. The Titans are 0-2 so far this season, with 7-0 losses to perennial powers Barrington and Hendricken.
Whatever happens, the Titans will keep on working.
"Honestly, I want them to have a good time," Gallo said. "They're playing five days a week. I hope they feel like they're making improvements as the season goes on. We don't have any lofty goals. It's just about making improvement."
Toll Gate will return to the court today at 4 p.m. for a home match against Westerly.

Ars is a technology site, and we also cover science, law, and culture. That's why topics such as evolution are apropos, no matter how political the topic may be. It's an interest of mine, so you can expect to see more from time to time. On with the show!
Live Science has a two part look at Intelligent Design that I think is worth checking out. Part I is genealogical in focus, explaining the historical background to the rise of "creationist" and/or Intelligent Design. Part II looks specifically at Intelligent Design claims, and shows their lack of scientific depth, rigor, and honesty.
Before I comment further, let me make one thing clear: neither Intelligent Design nor evolution require a) belief in a specific God, or b) any particularly political commitments. Claims such as those made by Rick Santorum (evolution makes humanity a "mistake of nature" that therefore "doesn't put a moral demand on us") are ridiculous politicking. The sooner people realize these basic facts, the sooner we can have intelligent discussions about the topic at hand.
One thing that I think needs to be stressed is the fact that some of the people at the head of the ID movement are clearly in it for ulterior reasons. Phillip Johnson, a retired law professor from the University of California, and one of the major proponents of ID, actually wrote this:
"The objective is to convince people that Darwinism is inherently atheistic, thus shifting the debate from creationism vs. evolution to the existence of God vs. the nonexistence of God," Johnson wrote in a 1999 article for Church and State magazine. "From there, people are introduced to 'the truth' of the Bible and then 'the question of sin' and finally 'introduced to Jesus.'"
Notice, please, that the objective isn't to do science, or to expand scientific knowledge, or to test scientific theories. Nay, the objective is covert proselytization.
Of course, to dismiss a theory merely on account of its proponents ulterior motives is is a logical fallacy. Hence Part II of the article, which looks more specifically at the problems surrounding ID. I won't rehearse the entire article here, but I will note that it addresses two major contentions in the ID camp: 1) the irreducible complexity of biological life, which they argue cannot have happened but for design, and (2) complex specified information, such as DNA. In the case of the former, there's a circular logic problem of identifying complex systems without addressing the parts from which they are made. In the second case, mutations suggest that DNA and in fact does change spontaneously, unless we're to believe that the Intelligent Designer pops in from time to time and modifies such information. And how do you prove that?

Although the children would have happily found their candy-filled plastic eggs on wetter ground, Mother Nature had dried most of the lawn outside the Mabee Sports Center at Hannibal-LaGrange University.
"We were really fortunate with the weather," said Kevin White, event coordinator with the Kiwanis Club. "We had rain later on in the day, but it held off for the morning, and it was just almost perfect.
"When they roped off the areas (for the three age divisions of children), they tried to keep them off the damp areas," White added.
The children age 9 and under participating totaled at least 800, White estimated. "We average about 800 - year in and year out - and I would say we had every bit of that. ... The turnout was in large part due to the publicity provided by the Courier-Post and other local media."
Prior to the egg hunt shortly after 10 a.m., drawings were held for many door prizes. Each child received a goodie bag of toys and other items along with one ticket for the door prizes, and additional tickets were sold for $1 each. Many prizes were donated, White said. "We had a lot of donations from local merchants and really appreciate their help and contributions to make this a success."
Before the egg hunt the children were already playing with items found in their goodie bags. Stella Wilson said her Cardinals' schedule was her favorite item, while her brother Haden favored his new water bottle.
The toddlers were the youngest to take part in the egg hunt, but many younger babies were present. Among them was 6-week-old Nathanael Foreman, son of Katie and Sam Foreman of Hannibal, accompanying his 1-year-old sister, Ruthmae.
Volunteers also helped during the drawings and egg hunt, White said. "We had a lot of volunteers from inside Kiwanis and outside Kiwanis," from both companies and organizations.
One volunteer was a big Easter bunny, who was busy delivering door prizes to children seated with their families, while also posing for photos with the children.
After winning a large yellow toy duck, Myra Jones posed for a picture with the Easter bunny.
Several bicycles were awarded, including the pink one won by 4-year-old Jordyson Bartels.
During the egg hunt, the parents lined up around the edges of the egg areas were busy with large and small cameras and phones, taking pictures and videos of their fast-moving children.
The Kiwanis Club members also saved bags of eggs to distribute
among any children who did not "find" eggs.
"Everybody left with something," White said of the children. "We are pretty pleased with how it turned out, and we give a big thanks to HLGU for using their campus and their Mabee Sports Complex."

ARDEN, N.C.—This suburb of Asheville is home to my newest favorite burger place. Don't get me started on the Old-Fashioned—mustard, onions, chili, slaw. Check out frenchfryz.net.
Still on vacation. This column has to be about Paris. See the past two weeks' columns. Last week's dateline was Marseille, which was a bit of a fudge. As the column strongly hints toward the end, I was on a train.
Susan has reserved us seats on the fast train to Paris. Paris is 500 miles north of Nice. For two hours, we meander west, stopping frequently to pick up passengers. We traverse 115 miles, putting us in Marseille, leaving us still 500 miles from Paris.
The train driver veers north, puts the pedal to the metal. Two hours later, we're in a cab headed toward the 39-room Hotel Brittanique, in Paris's first arrondissement. It's walking distance from the Louvre and Saint Michel. A warm, cozy room features a flat-screen TV, double-glazed windows, and free Wi-Fi.
On our to-visit list are Notre Dame, Musee d'Orsay, Musee Rodin, the Left Bank, and Avenue des Champs-Elysees. And more.
Day 1, Friday afternoon: We walk seven miles and buy a three-day Metro pass. Ornate bridges over the Seine bring to mind the debate back home about a bridge across the Arkansas. I laugh. The shopping area along Champs-Elysees is mind-boggling. There must be a million people in sight in every direction.
Day 2, Saturday: We buy a ticket that gets us into Musee d'Orsay, where we spend the entire morning. We are mesmerized by van Gogh's oil on canvass, "Starry Night Over the Rhone," painted a few weeks before the artist's December 1888 breakdown. The more familiar "Starry Night," painted months later and depicting the view outside his sanitarium room's window, hangs at MOMA in New York City.
I am struck by "Arrangement in Grey and Black No.1," better known as "Whistler's Mother." This American icon was bought by the French in 1897, 20 years after Whistler painted it. The facility is overwhelming – a renovated railway station that goes on forever, stuffed with Monets, Manets, Renoirs, Gaugins and more.
Same tickets get us into Musee rodin, where I am disappointed by my reaction to "The Thinker," the "Gates of Hell," and other things Rodin. One of the essays about him catches my attention. He was said to have spent a great deal of time with his nude models.
Day 3, Sunday: We trek to the area Susan frequented when she was a student in Paris in 1971. We find the address that was hers. It is labeled "Student Hostel." It being Sunday, we make no effort to enter. Like a dog that chases a train, what would we have done with it had we caught it? Sunday afternoon, we do Notre Dame and La Sainte-Chapelle, both in walking distance of our hotel. Through Sunday night fog, we see the Eiffel Tower lit up across the river after dining at a touristy spot in Saint Michel.
Monday: Cab ride to Charles de Gaulle Airport. Ten-hour flight to Charlotte arrives mid-afternoon. We spend a couple hours reminding our four-month-old granddaughter who we are. Then we head west, determined to put 100 miles behind us before dark, the better to make it home on Tuesday. Hark! What sign is this? Exit…Eat…French Fryz. Having just been in France, how can we not go there? How can we not?
